Chapter 10: She's My Fiancée
Soon, a maid came to inform.
"Miss, Madame, please come over."
Hearing this voice, the tone was completely different from the previous maid Xiaoyue, Ruan Li raised her head in some surprise.
"Where's Satsuki?"
"Miss Hui, Xiaoyue accidentally provoked the master and was condemned by the master to leave the house."
Looking at the maid in front of her who didn't dare to look up, she seemed to understand something.
Why is this Shen Sichen? She is a descendant of the Ruan family, and she is just a descendant of the Ruan family.
She didn't speak again, glanced at the maid and asked her to lead her to the Shen family's lobby.
He was very thoughtful.
Before he reached the lobby of the Shen family, he heard the laughter of Old Lady Xie.
This old lady Xie is very happy, she doesn't look like a sick person at all.
At this time, the dowry was brought in one after another.
A smile appeared on her face, and she walked in with the corner of her skirt, automatically ignoring the look on Xie Ruowei and Qian's faces that wanted to peel her alive.
"I don't know what happened when Madame called Ah Ruan?"
She asked Mrs. Shen with a gentle and harmless face, her voice soft and glutinous, as if she really didn't know anything.
"Ah Ruan is here? Come quickly, come to my aunt's side. ”
Although she didn't deal with Ruan Jiuge at the beginning, she admired and liked Ruan Jiuge from the bottom of her heart, and she also brought her descendants who liked her.
She is not a noble lady who does not leave the door, how can she not know anything about what happened to the Xie family in the past few days. The current Ah Ruan, since she is her future daughter-in-law, she should protect her.
"Oh, it turned out to be everyone from the Xie family."
Ruan Li seems to be smiling, isn't she quite backbone?
"Ah Ruan, if you say this, you will be divided, we are your relatives after all."
After receiving the old lady's signal, as a last resort, Qian stood up, and a stiff smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Loved ones? What kind of relatives are you in, mother? She looked at Qian Shi funny, "You may not think too highly of yourself, my mother is Ruan Jiuge, who was brilliant and beautiful back then." ”
"Ah Ruan, you're wrong......"
The old lady Xie next to her heard this, and took out the posture and tone she had always wanted to teach people to talk to Ruan Li.
"Old lady, I don't know what's wrong with what I'm saying?"
Hearing this, the old lady had no way to refute it for a while, she was right, it was they who said that day that they were going to break off relations with her.
"Old lady, I gave you a chance at that time, but you Xie Fu wanted to cut off the relationship with me. After the dowry, I and you Xie Fu will go our separate ways, and I also hope that Miss Xie will have a brain. ”
She looked at Xie Ruowei with a stoic face and was a little funny, this eldest lady who grew up in the boudoir is different......
"What? This gift is all gone, and you still don't want to leave? ”
She unceremoniously gave the eviction order, but she gave them the opportunity to say that they couldn't save the face of the so-called high-ranking nobles and refused to say it.
"That...... Ah Ruan, we were wrong, you can go back with us. ”
Seeing Ruan Li's posture of leaving, Mrs. Xie finally opened her mouth.
"Old lady Xie, I have nothing to do with your Xie family anymore, what identity should I take to go back? Could it be that he is Shen Sichen's fiancée? ”
The corners of her mouth tugged, and she smiled at the jealous look on Xie Ruowei's face.
I didn't expect this Shen Sichen to be quite easy to use.
"We were all joking that day, so don't take it to heart."
She had a kind smile on her face, but it made Ruan Li feel a burst of hypocrisy.
"Are you kidding? Old Madam Xie, in front of everyone's eyes, where do you put my face? Have you ever thought about my feelings? How did you people of high families ever think about our feelings? Yes, I grew up in the countryside, but that doesn't mean that my face deserves to be ruined by you. ”
She paused and continued.
"Of course, I know what you're here for, and you don't have to pretend to be hypocritical with me. Since a hundred dowries have been sent back to me, I will naturally go to Yun Ruan's place. ”
She is not a person who is good at playing the emotional card, and she does not want to pretend to be in love with these people who indirectly killed her mother.
Hearing her words, Old Madam Xie and the Qian family were obviously relieved, as long as they didn't go back.
"Auntie, in that case, I'll go down first."
She had made a salute and was about to order the dowry to be collected.
"Chen'er will be back soon, you can go to the study and wait for him, and I will help you settle the dowry."
Mrs. Shen's face still had that very kind smile, and she couldn't tell at all that she was also a descendant of a martial arts family before.
"Well, there's a lot more to worry about the rest of the matter, aunt."
She likes this straightforward Mrs. Shen very much, probably because of her mother.
"Old Madam Xie, please."
Who knows, as soon as Ruan Li left on the front foot, Mrs. Shen changed her expression on the back foot, and her expression was extremely cold, as if she was not alone.
"Mrs. Shen, Ah Ruan, I grew up in the countryside, and I was a fool before this, not as knowledgeable as Wei'er, let alone a female embroidery. I'm really afraid that she will lose the face of the Shen family, so it's better to let Wei'er marry and let her assist Wei'er. ”
This old lady Xie played a shrewd hand, thinking about what a lintel she Xie family was, this old lady Xie wanted to marry two.
"Old lady Xie, what you said is not right, Ah Ruan is a descendant of Jiuge after all, she married Chen'er, that is called marriage; And Xie Ruowei, she married Chen'er, that is called Gao Pan. ”
At this moment, Xie Ruowei and Qian's faces were a little ugly, they hadn't dealt with Mrs. Shen before. They knew that Mrs. Shen had always been straightforward, but they didn't expect it to be so straightforward.
"Yes, yes, yes, what you said is also, it's the old body that I can't think about."
Mrs. Xie is worthy of being a person who has seen a big scene, and she can still be calm and calm in such an embarrassing occasion.
Under Mrs. Shen's cold face, Mrs. Xie and her group couldn't resist it after all, and they left in disgrace, without getting anything good.
Ruan Li on the other side continued to look for Shen Sichen's study.
Today, you can go to Shen Sichen's study to have a look, she has been looking for Qing Shui Ling for so long to no avail, will it be in his study?
When she finally found Shen Sichen's study, she was stopped by the guards at the door.
"Miss, this is the important place of Childe's study, and no one is allowed to come and go at will."
Hearing this, she stopped.
She is also a martial arts practitioner, so she can naturally see what level the martial arts of these two people are.
These two people are also at the level of secret guards, the kind that are higher than the imperial guards.
Two martial arts with such high martial arts were sent to guard this door, this study must not be simple, she must go in and have a look.
If she hadn't sensed that there were still secret guards in the study, she would have used light skills to sneak in.
It's okay now, I can't get in, why is this person so suspicious.
She frowned and sat down, intending to wait for Shen Sichen to come back.
"Why are you here?"
After a long time, Shen Sichen, who had just come back, saw Ruan Li sitting on the steps at a glance.
"Huh? You're back, my mother told me to wait for you in the study, but the guards stopped me from letting me in. ”
"There's nothing to see here, let's go back."
"No, no, I'm here, just let me see, I've never seen it in the countryside before."
In this way, there must be a ghost in this study, and she has to go in today.
He looked at her with some surprise, now that the two of them are partners in a frank and honest way, she has a different way of getting along, which is really interesting.
Inexplicably, he didn't want her to be seen by others.
"Do you really want to go in?"
He glanced at her with an inquiring look in his eyes.
"Seriously."
She answered him without hesitation, as if she would not stop until she reached her goal today.
"Let's go, then."
He nodded, but she didn't react for a moment.
No, how can it be so easy to agree, will there be fraud in this? No, she and he are grasshoppers in the same boat.
She followed him in disbelief, defensively.
"In the future, she is my fiancée, and no one can enter this study except her and me, understand?"
Who knows, he suddenly took her hand and announced the matter to the two guards at the door.
"Yes."
Two guards, one of them without any expression, one of them with curiosity and inquiry on his face.
"Alas, you can rest assured of me."
She watched him take her hand and couldn't help but ask.
"What's this, you have to trust your trading companions unconditionally."
He didn't care, as if he was saying something very ordinary.
Oh...... It turns out that it's just because of this.
What, what was she thinking, not because of this she still wanted to be because of something.
She shook her head and followed him on.
Walking into the study, many bookshelves appeared in front of her, and many books were neatly arranged on the shelves.
Xu saw her curiosity, and he let go of her hand and let her see for herself.
She looked through the bookshelves one by one, but she didn't see anything like a switch compartment that could open a secret passage.
Where is it?
She looked everywhere but didn't see anything she wanted to know. She subconsciously looked at Shen Sichen, but suddenly saw the wall behind him.
She walked over quickly, pretending to be close to Shen Sichen, but her other hand touched the wall behind Shen Sichen.
"I don't know what Ruan Ruan is trying to do?"
Shen Sichen looked at Ruan Li with a smile and smiled very charmingly.
Ruan Li smacked her lips and replied, "I grew up in the countryside, and I have never seen such a beautiful wall, but now that I see it, I am not allowed to touch it." ”
"Okay, of course, it's up to you what you want to do."
He smiled helplessly, his face full of pampering.
Seeing Shen Sichen's uncaring expression, she continued to look for the switch she thought was suspicious, but she focused her eyes on the big red candle next to the wall.
At the bottom of it, there seems to be a bulge.
She stretched out her hand with some suspicion, but she suddenly saw Shen Sichen's serious and solemn expression.
Yes, it's here, looking at his expression, there should be no doubt here.
Her conjecture was confirmed, and she withdrew her hand in time.
