Although Lin Xuan hated Su Ruan for letting her sister end up marrying a concubine, no one could tell whether the last time she was in the He family was accidental, or deliberate.

At that time, the two were at fault.

Later, when they fell into the water, Su Ruan and Lin Tong fell into it at the same time.

If Lin Tong was the only one who entered the water, they would still be able to attack Su Ruan, but the two of them entered the water at the same time, but Su Ruan was ruthless to herself, in the pond of Layue in the cold winter, she was stunned and desperately climbed out, but Lin Tong was not as ruthless as her, so she almost sank to the bottom.

No matter why Su Ruan said what she said just now, at least Lin Xuan could hear that she was apologetic when she softened, and even saved face for her sister and the Lin family.

Although He Qi is a concubine, the words "Mr. Wenting's disciple" can make people look up to He Qi.

However, Guo Ruyi repeatedly mentioned the word "concubine".

Lin Xuan's face turned blue with anger, and she wanted to speak when she opened her mouth, but she didn't want Su Ruan to be over there, but she seemed to hear something funny, and raised her lips and chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Guo Ruyi frowned.

Su Ruan glanced at Guo Ruyi up and down, obviously looking calm, but it made people feel a little funny and disdainful.

"Miss Guo, if I hadn't just heard my second sister say that the Marquis of Xinyang has made outstanding achievements and is an important minister in the court, and you are also the beloved daughter of the Marquis of Xinyang, and you have lived in Beijing for a long time, I would have thought that Miss Guo, like me, came from a small place like Jingnan where the news is closed."

Guo Ruyi was stunned at first, but after understanding the meaning of her words in an instant, she was instantly furious.

This Su Ruan, she actually dared to sarcastically ridicule her for being a hillbilly and ignorant?!

Su Ruan saw that her face was flushed, and she raised her lips and said softly:

"Since the establishment of the Taizu Dynasty, the rule that the concubines of the previous dynasty are not allowed to conduct scientific examinations and cannot enter the ranks has been abolished because of the appreciation of talents."

"From the royal family to the officials, and then to the people, although there are still differences between the concubines, there are many people who can shine."

"Let's not mention that many of the wise emperors in the royal family are not from the main palace, let's talk about the ministers of the court."

"As far as I know, up to Shao Xingfan, the Qing of Dali Temple, down to Yin Cao Hongchang of Fengtianfu in Jingshun, Su Xun of Hengshan Academy, and Kong Jinhua, a talented man who was praised by the emperor as an example of students in the world, Ling Zhang, a general in the south, and Feng Anlang in He......"

"All of them are side branches."

Guo Ruyi's face was already stiff, and as the names of the people in Su Ruan's mouth popped out one by one, the people present also remembered the people Su Ruan's mouth, and their faces changed slightly.

Su Ruan looked at Guo Ruyi with a cold face: "So Miss Guo, why do you look down on the diligent and motivated people?" Why do you think that a concubine is not worthy of a good marriage? ”

"To put it mildly, as a disciple of Mr. Wenting, and he gained fame in a weak crown, even the He family values him more than his sister-in-law, and He Qigongzi is destined to shine in the court and become famous, and when the time comes, the person who wants him to marry can break through the threshold of the He family."

Su Ruan's expression was serious, and he couldn't see the slightest joke.

"That day, I fell into the water with Miss Lin Er, the water was cold, Miss Lin Er almost drowned, and none of the people who were watching at that time dared to go into the water to save people, except that they were timid and afraid of things, afraid of losing their lives, why not care about reputation."

"He Qigongzi is precocious, doesn't he understand what the consequences will be if he goes into the water to save people?"

"He will be ridiculed, a son of a concubine wants to climb the dragon and phoenix and fly on the branches, grandstanding, he will be ridiculed by a shallow-eyed person like you, he is a concubine who insults the innocence of Miss Lin, it is he who tries his best to climb the magnates, and he has won the second miss in the imperial history."

"But he still didn't hesitate to save people."

"Miss Guo, He Qigongzi is not stupid, he saves people because he cares more about people's lives than reputation, and afterwards he is also willing to take the initiative to marry Miss Lin Er against gossip, because he is responsible."

"To put it mildly, the son of a family in the capital, can you find a few men as responsible as him?"

"If he saves me and not Miss Lin Er that day, I won't have to wait for him to ask for marriage, I will take the initiative to ask for ......"

"Su Ruan!"

Su Ruan's words in front of the pavilion everyone couldn't help but be moved, some things are not broken and they don't feel it, but once they are broken, they are clearly placed in front of everyone.

Some of them looked down on Lin Tong and He Qi before, and their faces were a little blushing and guilty.

After Xie Jinyue heard Su Ruan's words, for the first time, she had a different opinion about this new sister she didn't like very much, but who knew that she would hear her words of "taking the initiative to propose" later.

Her face suddenly turned black, and she dragged her back, and whispered:

"Are you still ashamed?!"

A daughter's family, what do you say about taking the initiative to propose?!

Guo Ruyi watched the changes in the faces of the people around him, and couldn't help but say loudly: "You are a strong word......

Su Ruan tilted his head to look at her: "Then what does Miss Guo think is not a strong word, is it for you to speculate and slander He Qigongzi out of thin air, or are you humiliating He Qigongzi everywhere in the name of concubine?" ”

She blinked, and the lightness on her body instantly dissipated, losing the coldness when she spoke just now, and a little delicate and well-behaved appeared on her face:

"It's not right, I heard that Xinyang Hou has a son who shines in the army, he has been an official at a young age, and he has entered the military department, he seems to be a concubine, Xinyang Hou values him very much, and Miss Guo is also very close to him."

"I thought it was true, it seems that the rumors are wrong, Miss Guo and your unborn brother are not so close......"

After Su Ruan finished speaking, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and said in a low voice:

"Ah, Miss Guo, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that you are hypocritical and hypocritical, after all, this is a matter of your Xinyang Marquis Mansion, even if you don't like your brother, it's normal, after all, you are a concubine, I am too talkative."

She turned her head to look at Xie Jinyue, and said coquettishly as if complaining:

"Fourth sister, why don't you stop me."

"I didn't know the rules for a short time after I entered Beijing, how could I be good if I said the wrong thing and offended Miss Guo?"

Su Ruan's expression, tone, even complexion, and movements when he spoke were exactly the same as Guo Ruyi's tone when he mentioned Lin Tong and He Qi's marriage before.

None of the people present could see that she was deliberately angry.

Even if Lin Xuan was angry before, her face was full of weirdness at this time.

The county lord of Chengyang next to him and the others were even more smiling with the corners of their mouths shaking.

This Su Ruan's mouth is really damaged.

Xie Jinyue looked at Guo Ruyi's face as if she had hung a dyeing workshop, blue and red for a while, and she rarely took Su Ruan's hand in a friendly way and showed a smile.
