Chapter 64: Cross-examination (2)

Ruan Changhuan, who was originally in a lack of interest on the side, immediately raised his head to look at her grandmother when he heard his grandmother say five thousand gold.

Then he looked at Ruan Tang.

She heard you right, right? Five thousand taels?

A few days ago, she asked her mother for 100 taels to buy a new dress, and she begged for a long time, and her mother gave her 50 taels.

This wooden stunned man can actually take out 5,000 taels?

Ruan Tang also expected that from the moment she took out the money in front of her, from the moment she decided to go back to the Jing'an Hou Mansion with her, she knew that the origin of the money would definitely not be able to escape the interrogation of Old Madam Ruan.

"I made it from a small business when I was in Suzhou before." This is the truth, and Ruan Tang has no intention of hiding it.

"Small business?" Ruan Changhuan opened her mouth first, "What kind of business can make so much money?" Sister Mo isn't in the skin and meat business, right? ”

There are also shops and granges in Jing'an's Hou Mansion, although she has not been exposed to these, but recently her mother has always complained that there are few items in shops and granges.

There are several shops, and it is only worth 100 taels a day.

What small business can she do and make so much money?

Ruan Changhuan thought so, looking at her with a look of disdain.

And as soon as her words fell, she was glanced at by Old Madam Ruan.

"Xiu'er, you are crazy, how can you say such nonsense?"

Although she was teaching Ruan Changhuan a lesson, her eyes when she looked at Ruan Tang were full of inquiry and doubt.

Ruan Changhuan's words were ugly, but they were not unreasonable.

She is a young woman, and she is beautiful, and she is alone outside, it is good if she can not starve to death, how can she still earn so much money?

Suddenly, Old Madam Ruan looked at her with a bit of murderous aura in her eyes.

Almost instantly, Old Madam Ruan had an idea in her heart.

If she really made money from the leather and meat business, then she Jing'an Hou Mansion would definitely not be able to keep her.

And only by killing it can the reputation of the Marquis of Jing'an be preserved.

Ruan Tang sat down, even though she was separated from Old Madam Ruan at a distance, she could still clearly feel the murderous aura in her eyes.

How powerful is her grandmother? The original owner had been taught in his previous life.

Ruan Tang looked at Ruan Changhuan calmly, and said calmly: "My sister is really good at laughing, this is a blatant discredit to our family, if my sister really did this skin and meat business, how could she enter a place like Ning Wangfu as an errand?" ”

As soon as she said this, Old Madam Ruan also thought of a secret order that the Empress Dowager secretly gave to the palace.

Over the years, the Empress Dowager has been so worried because of King Ning's lack of proximity to women.

Therefore, a few years ago, it was ordered that all young girls who entered the Ning Wangfu on an errand must have their bodies checked, and only women with innocent bodies could enter the palace.

This goes without saying, everyone who understands understands it.

Old Madam Ruan's face was slightly better.

But still questioning the origin of her money.

And Ruan Tang knew that if she didn't explain it well, they would definitely not give up.

"I was able to earn this money, thanks to my mother, when she was alive, she taught me a lot of business experience, and during my years in Suzhou, I used what my mother taught me, and I made some money one after another, I was reluctant to spend it, and I kept it all the time, so I had so much."

Old Madam Ruan did not doubt that when her mother Gu Ruyu was still alive, she was indeed a good hand at managing business.

Her maternal grandfather's family was a wealthy businessman, and her mother was born with these talents to make money.

In the first few years when she married into the Hou Mansion, the shop was handed over to her, and she was able to earn back a lot of money.

It was only later, when she lingered on the sickbed, that the shop was handed over to her cousin and niece, Fang Huairou, to manage, and it gradually declined, so that until now, there is almost no income.

"That being the case, in the future, when you have time, you will go to the shop at home and point out your mother." The mother that Mrs. Ruan said was Ruan Changhuan's mother, Fang Huairou.

Ruan Tang nodded and did not refuse.

Old Madam Ruan saw that she had accepted it, and finally a faint smile appeared on her face.

Then changed the topic: "Now that you are back, then your marriage should also be on the agenda, and you are not small." ”

When Ruan Tang heard this, he immediately panicked.

She's not coming back to get married.

"Grandmother, Tang'er doesn't want to get married yet, I just came home, I want to spend more time with my grandmother."

"Silly boy, the male should get married, the female should get married, your birthday this year has passed, and you will be twenty, I think Qianyi is still very attentive to you, not to mention that the two of you used to have a marriage contract, take advantage of your return this time, just give this matter down."

Ruan Tang didn't expect that he still couldn't escape the marriage contract with Shen Qianyi.

But she couldn't be stupid enough to marry her again, and this time, she had to find a way to get him to get him to get the engagement back on his own.

However, she still responded with a smile on her face: "Tang'er listens to her grandmother, and everything depends on her grandmother." ”

Ruan Changhuan here was not calm, and he couldn't wait to cut her when he looked at Ruan Tang's eyes.

She likes Shen Qianyi, and she liked it a long time ago.

And Shen Qianyi also accepted her love token.

Over the years, she thought that Ruan Tang was gone, and thought that after she was married, she could ask her grandmother and mother to change the marriage contract between Shen Qianyi and Ruan Tang to that between her and Shen Qianyi.

Unexpectedly, after she finished the ceremony, when she went to her grandmother to tell her thoughts, she was reprimanded by her grandmother.

even directly locked her up for half a month.

She thought that as long as she didn't look down on other men and stayed older, her grandmother would definitely agree when she was in a hurry.

But who would have thought that her grandmother would want her to marry King Ning.

In a few days, her grandmother was going to take her to the Queen Mother's birthday party.

Last time, she pretended to be sick and didn't go to the flower viewing banquet held in King Ning's mansion, but she didn't expect that she couldn't escape her grandmother's arrangement in the end.

Which noble family in the capital doesn't know that the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother this time is called Birthday, but it is actually the princess chosen by His Royal Highness King Ning.

She doesn't care to be this princess!

King Naning was violent and ruthless, and it is said that he was extremely fierce.

She doesn't like it, she only likes Shen Qianyi, only her brother Yi is the most beautiful and gentle.

Now that she hears that her grandmother is going to take charge of Ruan Tang and Shen Qianyi's marriage again, where can she still sit still?

I can't wait to step forward and tear Ruan Tang apart.

And Mrs. Ruan couldn't see that Ruan Changhuan was unhappy, but she knew that only by breaking off her thoughts could she obediently marry King Ning and be Princess Ning well.

The Jing'an Hou Mansion is different from the past, if there is no one in the family who can climb the royal family, it will not be long before it will gradually decline.

She pretended not to see Ruan Changhuan's depression, and said to Ruan Tang: "In a few days, it will be the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and I will take you and Xiu'er to attend at that time, and Qianyi will also attend, you and he will meet and cultivate a relationship." ”

"Yes, grandmother." Ruan Tang responded obediently.

"In that case, you will take your sister out shopping, buy some clothes and jewelry, and prepare for the palace banquet, and as for the money, your grandmother will not give it to you, you will use what you have first, and then come to your grandmother to withdraw it."

"Yes, grandmother."

Ruan Tang still responded obediently, but he had already scolded her ten thousand times in his heart.

She really doubted that Old Madam Ruan said something today, all of them were waiting for her here, just to deduct the money from her pocket, it was really despicable and shameless!
