Ruan Qingyan really felt sorry for her in the end, after Qiu Yulan's tearful confession, although she knew that her guarantee was not reliable at all, she still sighed and forgave her - dismissed the subordinates and got down to business: "I have read part of the compensation list of Qiu Mengmin and his wife, and I haven't found any tricks, I think since they promised compensation, they shouldn't do such a stupid thing." ”

Qiu Yulan said flatteringly: "It's my cousin who supports me to ......"

"There's not much more to say about it." Ruan Qingyan interrupted her expressionlessly and said, "You tell me the truth about the matter with the Jiang family brothers!" ”

Qiu Yulan wiped her cold sweat and said, "Actually, it was the first time I talked to Jiang Yadan that night. "With Jiang Ba's reputation, if you don't draw a line with him first, who knows what Ruan Qingyan will do next?

"So you're mainly in contact with Jiang Yashuang?" Ruan Qingyan supported himself with his hand and asked noncommittally, "Did you run to the Jiang family's courtyard in the middle of the night to be coerced by him?" Or are you asking for him? ”

He asked these words calmly, but Qiu Yulan felt a heartbeat for no reason, and said cautiously: "I...... Well, I felt strange because he came to talk to Jiang Ba for me that day, so I went over and asked him. ”

Ruan Qingyan said lightly: "So you don't see the outside like this? ”

"......" Qiu Yulan was immediately silent, putting on a timid appearance, rubbing the corners of her clothes as pitiful as she was.

Ruan Qingyan closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened them, and his tone was still light: "So what do you want now?" ”

“…… Cousin? Qiu Yulan couldn't understand his attitude, and hesitated to ask.

"Do you want to marry Jiang Yashuang?" Ruan Qingyan looked at her.

Qiu Yulan was stunned and said, "It's not ...... either."

"What are you going to do with your life's events?" Ruan Qingyan finally sneered, "You plan to go on with Jiang Yashuang like this, you don't know when something happened...... Just ruined for the rest of your life?! Don't tell me he's a good guy, if he's really a good thing, he will never have a close relationship with you before he married you - the fate of Yang Yi's room two days ago is an example! ”

Qiu Yulan whispered: "He...... You mean marry me, but ......"

"But what?!" Ruan Qingyan's eyes flashed with anger, and he said coldly, "Since ancient times, it has been the same trick for prodigal people to deceive women, first they can't help but seduce you, and then they can't help but seduce you, and then they will stun you with sweet words and the stars who dare not give the moon!" When you get it, let's see if he can count what he said before! I thought you were a smart kid and wouldn't be easily coaxed! Now I know you're so confused!! ”

He was obviously mad, and even said, "I don't know how many women I promised in the south that I would officially welcome the door and stay with them for the rest of my life!" But you see that I came to Beijing and brought a few maids, which one of them had an affair with me?! Some people say that the world is as black as a crow, and men don't have a good thing - I'll tell you honestly, although this is a bit extreme, but it is by no means unreasonable! Do you think you look a little bit and have the identity of a county lord, so Jiang Yashuang is reluctant to lie to you?! You are so naïve! ”

Qiu Yulan wanted to hit the wall when she heard it, and said: "No, Jiang Yashuang said that if I agreed, I would immediately terminate the marriage contract with the Deng family, and then settle it when it was over—but I didn't agree." ”

Ruan Qingyan sneered: "Did he say it himself?" I told you in the middle of the night, right? ”

"......" Qiu Yulan was choked and speechless for a long time, and said after a long time, "Anyway, I haven't decided whether to marry him or not." ”

Ruan Qingyan said coldly: "Even if he didn't lie to you, you went to him privately before you passed the door, and asked his family to break through - what dignity do you think you can have when you pass the door like this?!" ”

"I'm really nothing to do with Jiang Yashuang!" Looking at his eyes that hated iron and steel, it seemed that he was a brainless girl who had been deceived by his sons and minds, and she was still obsessed with her mind - Qiu Yulan spit blood and pulled up her sleeves, revealing a little red, "I don't want to marry Jiang Yashuang because I think the Jiang family is powerful now, and as his daughter-in-law, I must set rules, so it is better to find a relaxed freehand who is easy to bully!" ”

Seeing that Shougong Sand was intact, Ruan Qingyan's face softened suddenly—but he soon sneered again: "It seems that this surnamed Jiang wants to put a long-term line, and intends to deceive you even with people!" Don't think that he is someone who respects you, who really respects you, and will never let you be wronged! ”

Qiu Yulan secretly spat out a mouthful of blood again, and said weakly: "What my cousin said is true! ”

"Since you didn't suffer a big loss, and this incident didn't spread, I won't punish you first." Ruan Qingyan thought for a while and said, "But, you can't have any more dealings with the surname Jiang in the future, do you know?" ”

"Yes." It's not once or twice that Qiu Lanyang has violated Yin, and the promise is fast - anyway, if you want to keep your promise, you will talk about it when the time comes.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Qingyan's next sentence was: "Now the person surnamed Jiang lives next door, even if you are obedient and don't go to him, I'm afraid he will go to you." In my opinion, you might as well move out for a while. Anyway, now that Qiu Mengmin and his wife have also made up the property to you, since this matter is done, this palace will not have much to do with you in the future, you just have to wait for the filial piety to come out of the pavilion. ”

Qiu Yulan was stunned for a moment before asking, "Where does my cousin want me to go?" ”

"In the city, but you don't live in the palace, you can't explain to the outside world." Ruan Qingyan obviously had a plan, and said without thinking, "You go to the outside of the city and choose a Zhuangzi to live in, and say to the outside world that you want to concentrate on filial piety, and you think that the palace is not clean enough." ”

"Then Mr. Shao learns from his boudoir?" Qiu Yulan asked speechlessly.

Ruan Qingyan said indifferently: "You ask the female gentleman if she is willing to go with you, if she refuses, forget it." I'll invite you to go to Zhuangzi with a female teacher. ”

Qiu Yulan thought for a while and said, "But my foot injury hasn't healed now, can I wait for two more days?" ”

Ruan Qingyan frowned when he heard this, and said after a while: "It's okay, but you'd better hurry up." Speaking of this, his face sank, "Don't let me know about your dealings with the surname Jiang anymore, remember?!" ”

"Yes!" Qiu Yulan solemnly promised to take her cousin's words to heart, implement them thoroughly, and never deceive her cousin again...... Sweetly sent Ruan Qingyan away, she called Su He on the back foot and asked her to go to the Chengbo Mansion through the back door: "Take that set of red gold noodles and tell Miss He, I haven't entrusted her with things before, and I don't know her rules, if it's not enough, I'll make up for it - ask my cousin how he's doing, is he in trouble?" ”

Su He was surprised: "Why did the county lord say that? ”

"My cousin also sent me to sweep the tomb of my mother's concubine before, but when I returned to the city, I heard that Miss Yang was private. It's a good thing. Qiu Yulan leaned on the hidden sac behind him, his expression was a little cold, "This time he asked me to go out of the city again, urging me so tightly, and I didn't explain any preparation - he wasn't afraid that I would be killed if I lived alone in Zhuangzi?!" ”

Su He muttered in a low voice, "Are you so vulnerable?" ”

"And he talked about me today, and he didn't even mention a word about the turmoil between Cousin Ruan and that Fang Zijun last time!" Qiu Yulan snorted, "Is this normal? Even if my cousin didn't treat Fang Zijun as his own, Cousin Ruan should always say a few words - it can be seen that he is in a hurry to send me away! ”

"But what's the trouble with my cousin?" Su He felt incredible, "My cousin is young and promising, not to mention that he has entered Hanlin, and he has won the ...... of Xue Xiangqi."

"The problem lies in the weight of this Xue Xiang!" In the afternoon of the next day, He Shuijin sat in the hall, drank the good tea specially made by Qiu Yulan, and said cheerfully, "It is rumored in Beijing that Xue Xiang intends to recruit General Ruan Xiao as his son-in-law, and this has been going on for several days. I won't hide it from you, originally the Jiang family also had this meaning before this, which one is it, since I don't mention it now, I won't say it. And the Jiang family's hesitation was also because they didn't want to compete with Xue Xiang - but although Xue Xiang took a fancy to General Ruan Xiao, the Xue family's young lady was a visionless. ”

Qiu Yulan hurriedly asked: "Is my sister saying that Miss Xue is unwilling to marry my cousin?" Did this cause a turmoil? ”

"Although Xue Fangmi usually doesn't have many contacts, she looks like a quiet and delicate lady on the scene, and many people still praise her as the first talented woman in Beijing." He Shuijin didn't know if he had received the money or really didn't like Xue Fangmi, and his tone was very disdainful when he mentioned the prime minister's beloved daughter, "Who would have thought that she could do such a thing - she actually humiliated General Ruan Xiao in public and wanted to eat swan meat, and said that she would never marry and would not fall in love with General Ruan Xiao!" ”

She put down the tea bowl and said with a sneer, "This cheap maid is raised by a cheap maid, no matter how dignified and elegant she is, she will reveal her details as soon as she encounters something!" A serious girl, even if she is not satisfied with the family affairs given by the family, she can discuss with her elders in private, how can she be so disregarded for her dignity and find trouble with innocent people - who doesn't know that every time General Ruan Xiao goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he is summoned by Xue Xiang? Speaking of which, the time she came out of the backyard to humiliate General Ruan Xiao was probably the first time General Ruan Xiao saw her! ”

Qiu Yulan's face was gloomy and could almost drip down: "How did she humiliate my cousin?!" ”

He Shuijin said: "I don't know very well, it seems that two days ago, Xue Xiang called General Ruan Xiao to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to do his homework, and when General Ruan Xiao said goodbye, he met several sons who went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Xue Xiang's grandson Xue Rongying, and they met Xue Fangmi on the way out of the mansion together, and Xue Fangmi said those words in public. Although Xue Xiang immediately reprimanded Xue Fangmi afterwards, he sent a gift to the general's mansion to appease him...... But now the words outside are not very good, and you also know that General Ruan Xiao is not crowned and is on the gold list, and there are always some people who are jealous, and they are incompetent and can't see others come out. ”

"I think General Ruan Xiao is afraid that gossip will come here and disturb your mind, so he will suggest that you go to Zhuangzi to live for a while."

"Can I meet this Xue Fangmi?" Qiu Yulan thought about it and asked.

He Shuijin shook his head with a smile: "It's not that I don't help you, it's that I don't have a relationship with her." After all, Xue Xiang has always been in the middle of the court, and he has been deliberately far away from us, but I can't make an appointment with that one. ”

Seeing Qiu Yulan's gritted teeth but nowhere to vent, He Shui Jin reminded, "You have filial piety now, so it's not good to go out, and when you are full of filial piety, with your identity, except for a few private banquets, what occasion is not good?" The circle of noble ladies in Beijing is so big, you can always meet them. ”

"Thank you for reminding me, that's all there is to it." Qiu Yulan calmed down and said with a calm face - Ruan Qingyan himself may not be able to cope with this matter, but he is a man, he cares about women, and he is still the daughter of a teacher, so he has fallen behind in public opinion by nature.

But, is his cousin so angry?! Are you kidding!

Qiu Yulan made up her mind: "When you meet this Xue Fangmi, you must torture this cheap. Person! ”

If you don't want to marry, tell your father to go! Your father doesn't hint at my cousin, my cousin is still pestering to marry you?!

Dare to pinch my cousin as a soft persimmon and see how I can pinch you into a rotten persimmon!!
