Growing up in a mountain village, Ruan Xingzhu never thought that the Ruan family would be a noble. No one in the Ruan family's village looked like a noble, including her father.
"This is a family secret. Daddy told you that it has violated the ancestral teachings. If you return to the village, you will be punished by the family law." Ruan Jizu stretched out his hand and stopped his daughter who wanted to speak, "Listen to me first. If you have anything to say, wait for me.
Ask again after you finish."
You must first remember that you cannot tell anyone what I said today, including your mother.
The ancestors of the Ruan family were Dukes, but due to some events, they fell into decline. After all the clan members moved to Ruan Family Village, they could not escape from the world since then.
The last duke of our ancestors left a will before his death. Except for the clan leader, all future generations should forget the aristocratic status of the Ruan family and live and reproduce in the Ruan family village with peace of mind.
My father is the clan leader. I learned about this old story from your grandfather. If you were a boy and took over the position of clan leader in the future, I would also tell you. But as a girl, you will always have to marry into another family and cannot be the clan leader of the Ruan family.
.
The reason why I want you to study in a noble family is that you can marry a noble son and live a noble life in the future without dishonoring your status as a direct descendant of the Ruan family.
Unexpectedly, some bad guys kidnapped you, which made your father very worried. Fortunately, Ding Kui saved you and got so close to you. He sent his personal maid to teach you, which saved your father a lot of trouble.
When daddy asks you, you have to answer honestly.
Are you happy in the Ding family? Can Ding Kui follow the rules for you?"
Ruan Xingzhu blushed, thought for a moment, and answered seriously: "Everyone in the Ding family is very good to the child. Although he is not as comfortable as at home, the child is happy here. Kui, the little Marquis treats the child like his own sister.
It’s not what you think, daddy.”
"Okay, in that case, why should dad take you to other noble families to endure hardship? Just stay here and learn. Your status is no worse than that of Ding Kui. Don't learn what those servants do. Of course you must not say
Just come out and know it in your heart." Ruan Jizu repeatedly told his daughter.
"Then when did daddy take the baby home? Why didn't mom come to see the baby?"
"You cannot learn the temperament of a lady in a day or two. When you are old enough to get married, your father will come to pick you up.
The world is so dangerous that the people in the village can't adapt to it. Dad has ordered that no one in the village is allowed to come out in the future, and your mother is no exception.
Girls will always leave their parents, you have to get used to it now."
"Oh, I understand." Ruan Xingzhu took out a few gold coins and some silver coins and handed them to Ruan Jizu, "Brother Kui gave these to the kid. The kid doesn't need them. Dad, please take them to buy something for mom."
Ruan Jizu hugged Ruan Xingzhu into his arms and said in a choked voice: "Good boy, daddy can't bear to leave you. Hey, it would be great if you were a boy."
The two father and daughter started crying again as they talked.
Ruan Xingzhu stretched out his little hand, wiped away the tears on his father's face, and said: "Don't worry, Daddy. I will be fine here. Although I can't see you and my mother, I will miss you every day. I want to take care of my little sister."
I have learned everything I know and will never embarrass the Ruan family."
Ruan Jizu gave his daughter some more instructions, and finally said sternly: "You will marry someone in the future, but it must not be Ding Kui. You can do anything here, but you must not do the same thing. Your body cannot be taken advantage of by the Ding family."
This kid."
After all, after studying with Ding Xiao for a while, Ruan Xingzhu knew what her father was talking about. She had mixed feelings in her heart, but she didn't dare to go against her father's wishes, so she bit her lower lip and nodded reluctantly.
When I returned to the living room and saw Ding Kui again, an hour had passed.
Ruan Jizu said to Ding Kui: "The common people have a heartless request, and I hope that the young marquis will fulfill it."
"Uncle Ruan, just tell me if you have anything to do. I will not refuse if I can do it." Ding Kui wished that Ruan Jizu would give him more merciless invitations.
"The common people originally planned to send their daughter to a friend's house to learn some aristocratic etiquette. But I heard from the little girl that thanks to the promotion of the young marquis, he arranged for a personal maid to teach the little girl. The common people are very grateful for this. Since the young marquis thinks highly of my daughter, the common people want to
The little girl will stay in your mansion, let her learn more and serve the young marquis more, in order to repay the kindness of saving her life."
"Okay, no problem. I agree to this. Xiaozhu will never be wronged here." Ding Kui almost laughed.
"Then the grass-roots people will ask the little marquis. The child's mother doesn't know the news about her yet. The grass-roots people will rush home to report to her mother that she is safe. Xingzhu, remember, you must be obedient." Ruan Jizu said to "
The word "obedient" is emphasized very strongly.
"My child dare not forget father's instructions." Ruan Xingzhu knelt down and kowtowed to Ruan Jizu.
After sending Ruan Jizu away, Ding Kui asked Ruan Xingzhu to go back to the backyard by himself, and took the old money man to the study again.
"Is the person you felt peeping at that day Xiaozhu's father?" Ding Kui asked.
"Yes, it's him.
He was still in disguise that day.
Miss Ruan's father doesn't look like an ordinary mountain man." Old Qiantou has a photographic memory.
"His words and deeds are quite magnanimous. Xiaozhuhui has a blue heart and is not like a village woman who can give birth to children. The origin of the Ruan family is not simple."
"How about I follow him and find out where Ruan Jizu came from."
"Forget it, no need.
Everyone has their own **, and if it doesn’t affect us, there’s no need to figure it out.
His daughter has stayed here, so he shouldn't do anything that would affect us." Ding Kui tapped his fingers on the table.
"This Ruan Jizu is very capable. I think he is a knight, and his fighting spirit is not inferior to Ding Cai." Old Qiantou has a very vicious look, but if the other party does not take action, he cannot see the specific fighting spirit.
"Oh? After the declining nobles? This better explains why he is so mysterious. Just ask about the declining nobles named Ruan. Don't worry too much about the rest."
It has been more than 4,000 years since the founding of the Shaodian Kingdom. The royal family has remained unchanged, but many nobles have risen and fallen, and many once-prominent families have been lost in the long river of time.
Ruan Xingzhu's origins are now generally clear, and he no longer worries about his family.
Ding Kui was very happy that she could continue to stay in the Ding family, at least she could often see the figure that seemed to be lingering in his mind.
But Ding Kui didn't notice that Ruan Xingzhu had become a little alienated from him and would never break into his room casually again.
In the next two months, Ding Kui devoted himself to practicing Dou Qi, and continued to practice hypnosis and addition techniques. This freak of magic and martial arts slowly grew up.
If Ding Kui puts all his strength into play, he can cross a whole level and challenge the later-stage Blade Knight or the later-stage Robed Magician.
Time has arrived in July, and knight guilds in various places have begun a new round of exchange competitions.
