It has been more than ten days since Concubine Shu came to find Ruan Li, and she and Shen Sichen have only met occasionally in these ten days, and she still hasn't given up looking for Qing Shui Ling, but she has searched all over the rooms of Old Lady Xie and Xie Hua and still has no result.

On that day, Concubine Shu told her that she had never known her mother before, and had only heard of her mother's name all along, and had never seen a real person. After she entered the palace, the Ruan family had been wiped out, but Xuanyuan Chen seemed to know nothing during that period of time, and was focused on the queen's mother.

In these days, through her investigation, she confirmed the authenticity of Concubine Shu's answer that day. So, was it because Xuanyuan Chen changed her mind that her mother left angrily?

However, what is the reason for the ruan family's extinction?

She asked Yihong Yuan to continue to track and investigate this matter, however, the things back then were confusing, and they always felt that there was a force blocking their investigation, and it took a long time to find out the source of this force.

This power comes from the royal family.

What was the truth of the year?

Ruan Li stood in front of the window, staring at the scenery in the distance, puzzled, everything would become a net, cut and untidy.

"Miss, Mrs. Qian sent Mama Zhou over."

Hearing the spread of Ziyu, Ruan Li knew why the Qian family came here.

"Mama Zhou."

She glanced at Mama Zhou, who was holding a bowl of bird's nest in her hand, and her tone was indifferent, obviously not very concerned with Mama Zhou in front of her.

"Well, has the eldest lady eaten?"

Mama Zhou flattered and put the bowl of bird's nest in front of Ruan Li, with a hypocritical smile.

"Eat, if Mama has something, you might as well say it directly."

Looking at Mama Zhou who was behaving in front of her, Ruan Li didn't want to pay attention to it at all, and directly asked Mama Zhou for the purpose of her visit.

"Look at what the eldest lady said, I'm a subordinate, and it's the duty of the old slave to take care of the young lady."

At this time, Mama Zhou may not think it is good to say it directly, so she is polite.

"Mama Zhou, when I came to Xie Fu from the countryside before, I remember that you didn't say that."

Ruan Li propped her head with one hand and an unpredictable smile on her face.

"Oh, eldest miss, it was the old slave who was clumsy at that time, but now, the old slave's eyes are bright, so naturally they can distinguish clearly, and I hope the eldest lady will forgive me."

"I don't have to forgive me, but I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I don't know why Mama Zhou came to my door today."

"The eldest lady has good eyesight, the old slave does have something to ask for, but not for me, for my son-in-law, but for my entire Xie Mansion."

Seeing that Ruan Li had gone around here again, Mama Zhou immediately picked up the conversation, for fear that Ruan Li would say something that she couldn't pick up.

"Oh? Regarding Xie Ruoling, Mama Zhou might as well talk about it. ”

"That's it, eldest lady, didn't you open a new beauty salon? The secret news that Madame got said that the things on Concubine Shugui's face were removed by your preparation a few days ago, and her face was even better than before, and Madame wanted the old slave to ask the eldest lady for a few bottles. ”

"Oh?"

Ruan Li stopped talking, but picked up the spoon on the table and stirred it in the bowl containing the bird's nest.

"Mama Zhou, I didn't know that your bowl of bird's nest was so expensive, it could be worth five thousand taels of silver."

Hearing Ruan Li's words, Mama Zhou was obviously stunned, but she didn't expect that she would even be a pit for her own family.

"Miss, after all, they are all family, so there is no need to be so clear."

Mama Zhou bent down slightly, and said with a smile.

"Mama Zhou, my brother still settles the account. What's more, I have long been disconnected from Xie Fu and am not from Xie Fu. ”

Ruan Li replied with a smile, now that she knows that she is the Xie family? Now you know that you're close to her? It's late.

"Miss, how can it be, after all, the young master is the half-brother of the eldest lady, and they are more or less related by blood, who can save the eldest lady if she doesn't save it."

"Mama Zhou, I said that if I don't save it, I won't save it, there are more people who are related to your young master, and I am not the only one."

Whatever she said, Ruan Li didn't want to go. At this time, Mama Zhou's face changed.

"It's not up to you." Mama Zhou screamed, and a few maids came in from outside, "I told you, if you don't go today, I will tie you up, the old lady is not at home today, if you don't know anything, no one cares about you, if you know each other, just follow me honestly and make beauty cream." ”

"Mama Zhou, do you invite someone like this? Besides, Concubine Shu has to follow my rules, and you still want to break my rules? ”

"Miss, you don't know what to do, and you can't complain about others."

After saying that, she took a step back, wanting the people around her to step forward.

"I see, who dares?"

At this moment, a very majestic male voice came in.

Everyone looked towards the door.

Shen Sichen's figure appeared at the door, and he walked in with a black face.

Those maids, including Mama Zhou, were frightened when they saw Shen Sichen who suddenly appeared, and they hurriedly moved away from Ruan Li.

"General Shen, why are you here?"

Mama Zhou smiled heaps on her face, and her smile was as fake as she could.

"I didn't come, I didn't know that my fiancée in the Shen Mansion was usually treated like this in your Xie Mansion."

Shen Sichen was really angry, and his whole person exuded a cold feeling from top to bottom.

"General Shen, that's nothing, today we are also on the order of our wife, and we want to ask the eldest lady to come over to cure our young master."

"Can't find a doctor when you're sick? Do you have to look for my Ruan Ruan, can I see my Ruan Ruan? ”

After speaking, Shen Sichen didn't even look at Mama Zhou, and walked straight towards Ruan Li and took her into his arms.

"This, General Shen ......"

Mama Zhou wanted to say something, but Shen Sichen ignored her, picked up Ruan Li and left, leaving Mama Zhou and her party in the same place.

Mama Zhou looked at their distant backs, and her teeth itched with hatred.

If it weren't for this girl from the countryside, the young lady she watched grow up with would not have gone to the temple to suffer that suffering, let alone be robbed of her fiancé.

Mama Zhou looked at their distant backs, and her eyes flashed with viciousness.

After Shen Sichen took Ruan Li into the carriage, there was silence in the carriage for a while, and no one refused to speak.

Shen Sichen glanced at Ruan Li next to her again and again, she was still unhurried, and there was no wave on her face.

I don't know how long it took, but Shen Sichen couldn't help it after all.

"Nguyen Nguyen."

He opened his mouth to call Ruan Li, but he hoped that Ruan Li would be able to ignore him, and his face was still the same expression that no one could mess with, but his tone was very soft.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Li still didn't look at him, but just said a "hmm" lightly.

"Ruan Ruan, if I don't come today, you will be bullied."

Shen Sichen didn't give up, and still opened his mouth to remind Ruan Li.

"Shen Sichen, I told you, I can protect myself by myself."

Looking at Shen Sichen like this, Ruan Li sighed, turned her head and said to him.

"I know, but I just want to protect you."

"Shen Sichen, you can protect me once, but you can't protect me two or three times, there are some things I have to take care of myself. What's more, moving back to Xie Mansion was my own decision, and it was nothing. ”

"But I just can't get used to it, Ruan Ruan, you are the one I hold in the palm of my hand."

"Shen Sichen, I remember your kindness. However, there are some things that I want to do on my own. ”

Shen Sichen understood the insistence in Ruan Li's words and nodded.

"Ruan Ruan, your adoptive father and adoptive mother's family in Lotus Village have already arrived in Kyoto, I took them to the Shen Mansion, and I will take you to have a look."

That's why he came to Ruan Li today, but he didn't expect to see the scene of his family being bullied.

Ruan Li nodded, stopped talking, and leaned against the carriage and fell asleep.

Shen Sichen glanced at it, changed to one side and took the carriage, and changed to Ruan Li's side, he held Ruan Li's head with his hand very gently, and leaned her head on his body.

Nguyen Nguyen, no matter what you want to do, I can charge the front line for you, or I can stand behind you and hold the rear for you.

The carriage soon arrived outside the Shen Mansion, and after Ruan Li got out of the car, she quickly saw Xiao He and the others standing at the door waiting.

Xiao He was about to report something, but when he saw Ruan Li standing next to Shen Sichen, he quickly stopped talking again.

But she didn't say anything, she probably guessed it, probably what happened to her adoptive parents, but she was afraid that she would be sad, so she didn't say it.

"Si Chen, then I'll go in first."

Ruan Li had a good eye and wanted to turn around and leave and give Xiao He time to report.

Unexpectedly, she was pulled by Shen Sichen.

She turned her head and looked at Shen Sichen with a stunned expression.

Shen Sichen didn't care, he took her hand directly, and the two instantly interlocked their fingers.

"I'll be with you."

He had investigated the family in Lotus Village, if it weren't for Ruan Li's beauty, the family would have abandoned his Ruan Ruan a long time ago. What's even more excessive is that since he was a child, his Ruan Ruan was beaten and scolded by the couple at every turn, and if it weren't for her younger brother, she might not even have survived him to find her.

Looking at Shen Sichen in front of her, for a moment, she felt very relieved.

At that moment, she suddenly seemed to understand something.

Yes, that's right, no matter what, she can come by herself or solve it by herself, but when she knows that there is someone who can stand up for her when she needs it, stand in front of her and shelter her, and know that there is someone behind her who will always catch her, it really gives her peace of mind.

Shen Sichen dragged Ruan Li to a guest room, where her adoptive father and adoptive mother's family lived temporarily.

"Hey, old man, are you saying these are worth a lot of money?"

Her adoptive mother, Yang Daju, stood in front of a vase with great surprise, "Tut-tut, it seems that we really didn't pick it up in vain back then." ”

"That's it, you see, now the return is here, such a big house, we knew she was a young lady, we should have held her well."

Her adoptive father, Liu Dazhu, also chimed in.

"Oh, what are you doing with her, you see we didn't hold her, aren't we enjoying Qingfu here now?"

Yang Daju touched and touched the vase, and she couldn't put it down.

Liu Xiaogui, who was only seven years old, was still holding a bunch of roasted sweet potatoes in his arms, timidly pulling the corner of his father's clothes with one hand, and asked in an extremely low voice, "Daddy, where is my sister, I want to find my sister, the roasted sweet potatoes I brought to my sister are going to be cold." ”
