Chapter 236: Wishful thinking
Fang'er was also happy for Gu Ling'an when she saw this, and came to visit alone at this time, doesn't it prove that the third master actually has a young lady in his heart, she seems to see a rising future in the future.
Ruan Qi glanced behind Fang'er and saw that the lights in Gu Ling'an's house were still on, and he knew that she hadn't stopped yet.
A gust of cold wind blew, Ruan Qi woke up instantly, he was secretly annoyed, why did he come to Lanyuan without thinking, it stands to reason that the big night should avoid suspicion.
"Third brother, it's cold outside, don't come into the house quickly." Just as Ruan Qi hesitated to turn around and leave, Gu Lingan's voice came from inside the house.
Fang'er heard Gu Ling'an speak and said earnestly: "Third master, please." ”
When Ruan Qi stepped into the house, he saw Gu Lingan leaning on the couch under the light, dressed in a plain white shirt, with no fat powder on his pretty face, his face was still a little pale, and there were tears in his eyes.
I have to say that Gu Lingan and Ruan Qi have really put a lot of thought into it for him in the past few years, and in a short period of time, he pretended to be his favorite pure beauty, completely grasping his hidden machismo in his heart.
"Third brother." Gu Lingan got up as he spoke.
Ruan Qi had already rushed to the couch, just as Gu Lingan coughed lightly twice, he raised his hand and patted her back without hesitation.
"Third master, the young lady fell into the water, just now the two of us walked all the way back and the wind blew, but I am afraid that we are infected with the wind cold." Fang'er walked behind Ruan Qi.
Hearing this, Ruan Qi felt more and more guilty in his heart, just now he was forced to leave by the lakeside with his father's majesty, and he didn't know that their master and servant didn't even have a soft collapse and walked back to Orchid Garden.
Thinking that Gu Ling'an was wet but no one took care of him and came back with the wind blowing like this, Ruan Qi knew that it must be because of Ruan Mianmian's mother's anger, but he brought it back by himself, this was to slap him in the face in front of everyone, and he had a grudge against the old lady Ruan, who favored him the most.
"Fang'er, don't talk nonsense." After Gu Lingan scolded the maid, he coughed twice as if he was too excited, and a slight flush suddenly appeared on his pale face.
Ruan Qi, who was watching the beauty under the lamp, couldn't help but move in his heart, Gu Lingan grabbed his sleeve with both hands, looking like he was in a hurry.
"Third brother, I'm fine, I'm really fine." said that, but the tears in the corners of Gu Lingan's eyes were dripping.
Seeing that Gu Lingan was clearly full of grievances but endured, Ruan Qi was distressed and helpless.
"Fang'er, send someone to find a doctor to take a look."
"It's a big New Year, it's late at night, don't toss so as not to alarm the old marquis and old lady." Gu Lingan lowered his head in self-pity, "So as not to cause trouble again." ”
Ruan Qi listened and said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with seeing a doctor when you're sick?" Where is there so much right and wrong. ”
"Why don't you go and make some brown sugar ginger tea to get rid of the cold." Fang'er suggested.
"Okay, you go." Ruan Qi calmed down and felt that it was inappropriate to go to the doctor at this time, so he immediately took advantage of the situation and said.
Fang'er went out playfully and closed the door.
The lights in the house were flickering, and looking at Gu Lingan in front of him looking at himself with affection, Ruan Qicai was shocked to realize that it was not appropriate for lonely men and widows to live in the same room in the dead of night.
"You're so resting, I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Ruan Qi's voice fell and he stood up, but he didn't expect a pair of slender arms to circle his waist from behind.
"Third brother, you already know my thoughts." Gu Lingan sat on the couch with his arms around Ruan Qi, and then his face was pressed against his back.
His back was stiff, and the fragrance of a girl went straight into his nose, and Ruan Qi instantly seemed to have no strength to push Gu Lingan away.
Seeing that Ruan Qi didn't move, Gu Ling'an was overjoyed and continued in his heart: "Do you really have the heart to refuse me? ”
"Bang!" The door was suddenly pushed open.
Ruan Qi and Gu Lingan were both startled, and they all looked up in the direction of the door.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Lingan quickly let go, and Ruan Qi moved like a ghost to widen the distance between him and her.
Old Madam Ruan walked into the room with a dark face and sat down with the help of Mama Yun.
Gu Lingan looked back and looked outside, only to see that the subordinates in the Inner Lan Garden, including Fang'er, were kneeling outside, all of them bowed their heads, and no one dared to speak.
Originally, I was surprised why Mrs. Ruan came but didn't make any movement, but at this moment, Gu Ling'an suddenly realized that no matter which corner of the Ding'an Hou Mansion was covering the sky with one hand.
"Mother." Ruan Qi smiled reluctantly and stepped forward to salute.
Gu Lingan got up from the couch and stepped forward to salute: "Old lady." ”
Old Madam Ruan didn't pay attention to Ruan Qi and Gu Ling'an at all, she just glanced at the door, and Mama Yun walked out and ordered all the people in Lanyuan outside to go back and rest, and then closed the door and waited outside the door in person.
When the door closed, Old Madam Ruan couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, grabbed the porcelain ornaments on the table and threw them towards Ruan Qi.
The porcelain shattered at Ruan Qi's feet, and the splashed shards scratched his hands and cheeks, but he didn't dare to move with his head bowed down.
"Third brother!" Bian Gu Ling'an screamed in surprise, rushed over and hugged Ruan Qi, and then glared at Old Madam Ruan.
Old Madam Ruan smiled angrily: "What did I teach my own son to hinder others?" Besides, who would dare to stop it? ”
"It's all the son's fault that the mother is angry."
"That's right, it's your fault." Old Madam Ruan took a deep breath, "It's not suitable for Gu Lingan to stay in the mansion any longer, clean up these days, and move out on the fifth day of the New Year." ”
"Old lady, Ling An is alone, I don't want to be famous, I just want to stay with the third brother, I hope you will be successful." Gu Lingan knelt down in desperation.
"Didn't you tell her about the Ruan family's house rules?" Old Madam Ruan didn't look at Gu Ling'an, and looked directly at Ruan Qidao.
Gu Lingan looked up at Ruan Qi in surprise, only to see that his gaze was evasive, and she turned to Old Madam Ruan again.
"The rules of the Ruan family, monogamy."
Even the rich and noble families have groups of wives and concubines, Gu Lingan never expected that the Hou Mansion would have such family rules.
"The third brother has no relationship with the daughter of the merchant of Zhou Yuning, so she is divorced."
"At the beginning, this family business was prayed for by Ruan, and it was impossible to divorce his wife."
"But Zhou Yuning has made seven mistakes."
Gu Ling'an's voice fell, Ruan Qi looked shocked, and Old Madam Ruan was immediately furious.
"You don't instigate discord, Yun Ning won't do anything sorry for Ruan Qi and sorry for the Ruan family." For this, Mrs. Ruan thinks that she is not dizzy.
Although there was a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhou Yuning in her heart, she was his wife after all, Ruan Qi frowned.
"Ling An, don't talk nonsense."
"Third brother, Zhou Yuning has nothing to do in the seven rules."
Hearing this, Old Madam Ruan smiled: "Who said that Yun Ning has nothing to do?" Mianmian is not her daughter. ”
"But she doesn't have a son."
"There are many men in my Ruan family." Old Madam Ruan looked at Gu Ling'an very displeased, "The fifth generation of the Ruan family has only looked forward to such a female doll, she is much more expensive than men's gold." ”
