When Xue Ya returned to Ruan Mansion, she happened to meet Ruan Yueli, who was obviously about to go out.
Ruan Yueli was startled when she saw him. She stopped and waited for him to approach before softly saying: "Brother."
Xue Ya nodded and said calmly: "Want to go out?"
Ruan Yueli nodded, "Brother just came back from outside?" Ruan Yueli was a little surprised. She had hardly been out since Xue Ya returned to Ruan's house.
It is not difficult to understand that the Ruan family did not hold any banquets, nor did they introduce Xue Ya to the dignitaries of Shangyong. Xue Ya did not know anyone acquainted with him in the inner city, so naturally there was no need to go out. In any case,
Can't we still go to the west of the city? That's not a place where the eldest son of the Ruan family should go, and now people can't come in and out freely in the west of the city.
Ruan Yueli obviously didn't know that Xue Ya had just returned from the west of the city.
Xue Ya did not answer, but asked, "Is father at home?"
Ruan Yueli said: "Father just came back." Xue Ya said nothing more, nodded to Ruan Yueli and then walked past her outside.
Ruan Yueli turned around and looked at Xue Ya's leaving figure, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
The girl beside her was a little confused and asked in a low voice: "Girl, what's wrong?"
Ruan Yueli whispered: "I don't know why, I always feel that brother... is a little different."
"Really?" the girl said blankly, isn't the eldest son always like this? He is always so handsome and good-looking.
Although the servants of the Ruan family do not dare to get close to Xueya due to their status, many girls do not have a bad impression of Xueya. After all, the appearance of Master Xueya is not comparable to that of the former eldest son Ruan Yuelou.
of.
Such a handsome and good-tempered man naturally made many young girls secretly attracted to him.
Ruan Yueli shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking.
Ever since Xue Ya gave her a jade-carved doll last time, Ruan Yueli's feelings towards this eldest brother who suddenly came back have been a little complicated. Logically speaking, this eldest brother has actually done nothing wrong. If he was originally the eldest son of the Ruan family, he would naturally have
The power returned to the Ruan family and took back his identity as the eldest son of the Ruan family. However, a few contacts made Ruan Yueli feel that this person was a bit dangerous. Coupled with his mother's illness and his brother's current embarrassment, Ruan Yueli
Li Ziran doesn't like this person.
Except when he handed her the jade doll last time, Ruan Yueli actually felt some kindness and sympathy from him.
Even when her father and brother did not consider her thoughts and forced her to marry a Qi tribe member softly or hard, this half-brother who had only been back for a few days showed kindness and sympathy to her. Even Ruan
Yue Li suspected that he had ulterior motives, but he was not completely uneasy after all.
"girl?"
"That's it, it's nothing." Ruan Yueli said lightly, "Let's go."
"Yes, girl."
Ruan Ting was reading when Xue Ya stepped into Ruan Ting's study. When she saw Xue Ya coming in, she couldn't help but frowned and said lightly: "What are you doing here?"
Xue Ya curled her lips slightly, "What? The child can't come to see his father?"
Ruan Ting closed his eyes and raised his hand to rub his forehead, his lips pursed tightly, as if he was enduring something.
After a while, he put down his hand, opened his eyes, and said coldly: "If you have something to say, just tell me."
Xue Ya chuckled lightly, walked to the side, sat down and said with a smile, "Father is still doubting my identity."
Ruan Ting stared at him with a bit more sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I do doubt you."
"My father is too ruthless. If my father has never believed me, why would he recognize me?" Xue Ya sighed.
Ruan Ting said coldly: "So, are you going to admit it now?"
Xue Ya said: "Admit what? What is father talking about?"
A trace of anger flashed in Ruan Ting's eyes, and he said coldly: "You have repeatedly made fuss about the deceased, what do you, Luan Yisi, want to do!"
Xue Ya was startled for a moment, as if he didn't expect that Ruan Ting would actually say the word Luan Yisi. Soon he came to his senses, chuckled quietly and said: "So... Prime Minister Ruan still remembers Luan Yisi.
"
Ruan Ting shrank his eyes and stared hard at the handsome young man in front of him.
After a long time, he said coldly: "What do you want to say?"
Xue Ya smiled and said: "There are some small things that I just need to discuss with Ruan Xiang."
Ruan Ting flatly refused, "I have nothing to discuss with the people from Luan Yisi. You leave the Ruan family immediately and I will pretend that nothing happened and I will take care of the aftermath."
Xue Ya shook his head and sighed: "I don't know when Mr. Ruan became so naive. The reason why you recognized me is because you want to know if I have anything against you, and where is the evidence?
"
Ruan Ting said coldly: "I told you, I don't know what you are talking about. Since you are from Luanyi Division, I have nothing to say to you."
"You want to say that since I am from Luanyi Division, even if I really have information about your identity, you can't get it, right?" Xue Ya said lightly: "So, is Mr. Ruan sure that he wants me to leave? We
I’m very sincere in negotiating terms with you, and besides…I’m not lying to you about one thing.”
"What?" Ruan Ting asked. He never believed any of Xue Ya's words from beginning to end.
Xue Ya said leisurely: "Your Majesty... Ruan Shuo is really not dead."
"This is impossible!" Ruan Ting gritted his teeth.
Xue Ya said: "Master Ruan has been taught the methods of Luan Yisi. Didn't Master Ruan really have any doubts when he saw the remains of his wife and son?"
"Where is he?" Ruan Ting asked.
Xue Ya smiled and said: "It's in a very safe place, so Mr. Ruan can rest assured."
Ruan Ting gritted his teeth and said nothing, but his eyes looking at Xue Ya were full of gloom and condensation.
However, Xue Ya seemed to be delighted and laughed out loud, "Master Ruan, no one in this world can escape Luan Yisi. The former Master of Ming Yin Pavilion was like this, and so is you..."
Ruan Ting took a deep breath and said coldly: "What do you want to do?"
Hearing this, Xue Ya showed a slightly satisfied smile, "Wouldn't it be great if Mr. Ruan had cooperated like this earlier? It would save me the time to come to the Ruan family in person. I have delayed a lot of things for Mr. Ruan, so that
Let the Prince Regent's Palace take the lead."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! While talking, Xue Ya took out a seal from nowhere. It was not a precious seal, it was the most ordinary Shoushan stone, but what was entangled above it was a fierce and vigorous looking one.
The wolf. The seal kept turning over in Xue Ya's hand, and the engraved handwriting could not be clearly seen.
Ruan Ting's eyes changed. He looked at Xue Ya and became more and more gloomy. There was also a bit of frustration in the gloom, "Is this why you came to Ruan's house? This is impossible. You are always being watched by people in Ruan's house."
,how do you……"
"Master Ruan, do you think I only noticed the Ruan family recently?" Xue Ya said with a smile, "I have spent a lot of time and effort in the Ruan family for today. Are you sure you can really keep an eye on me all the time?
?”
"You, Luan Yi, are all a bunch of incompetent lunatics!" Ruan Ting seemed to be unable to bear it after all, with a hint of sarcasm.
"What did you say?" Xue Ya's smile faded and she said in a deep voice.
Ruan Ting sneered and said: "If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you do! This time, you still won't succeed."
Xue Ya's handsome face was completely cold, as if there was some hidden murderous intention. But Ruan Ting was not afraid, he knew that Xue Ya would not kill him now.
Ruan Ting said: "You have been dormant for decades and have accomplished nothing. Apart from doing sneaky things in secret, what else can you do? You killed Jiang Xun for the money of Mingyin Pavilion, right? Now you come to me for the power of the Ruan family.
?What does Jiang Xun or I, Ruan Ting, have to do with Luan Yisi to get to where we are now? A group of old antiques who don't know anything are trying to seize power in the world. It's ridiculous!"
Xue Ya sneered and said: "It's a pity that Ruan Xiang has been able to reach this day, but he didn't follow the right path, right? Otherwise, you don't have to be controlled by me at this time. I'm afraid you would have gone to the Regent's Palace to kneel down and confess to Xie Yan. After all, young
Wuzhi has joined some organizations, and it is not a big mistake to reach the position of Ruan Xiang. Xie Yan is now in the position of employing people, and maybe he can still make meritorious service."
Ruan Ting was silent, Xue Ya played with the seal in his hand and said lightly: "Xiang Ruan, can we talk now?"
Two-quarters of an hour later, Xue Yaxiang walked out of Ruan Ting's study.
There was silence in Ruan Ting's study. I don't know how long it took for Ruan Yuelou to open the door and walk in.
"Father, are you looking for me?" Ruan Yuelou bowed.
Ruan Ting looked up at his son and asked secretly: "How are you preparing for the imperial examination?"
Ruan Yuelou said: "My child will try his best. Although there is no guarantee that he will win the first place, the top ten is always possible."
Ruan Ting nodded and said: "Just do your best. It's not appropriate to sit in the study all day. The middle of next month will be your great-uncle's eightieth birthday. You can take a trip on behalf of your father and we'll set off tomorrow."
Hearing this, Ruan Yuelou couldn't help but be startled, "Father, this..." Several uncles who are closely related to his father have moved to the capital to live with the Ruan family. The blood relationship between the great-uncle and his father that his father said is somewhat distant.
He's not even his father's biological uncle. He hasn't had much contact with him in recent years. How could his father...
Ruan Ting said calmly: "After all, you are an elder, and your eightieth birthday is different from others. The ancestral hall in your hometown should also be repaired. My father can't get away now, so I can only let you go.
"
Ruan Yuelou couldn't see any flaws, but... "If this is the case, the child may not be able to come back in time for the New Year, and there is also my sister's marriage..."
"I will take care of it." Ruan Ting said in a deep voice, "You go back and tidy up. We will set off early tomorrow morning and say goodbye to your mother first."
Seeing his father's solemn expression, obviously not wanting to say anything more, Ruan Yuelou had no choice but to answer and turned around and went out.
After leaving the door, Ruan Yuelou couldn't help but look back at the study door behind him, but he felt more and more something was wrong.
No matter how important my uncle's eightieth birthday is, can it be more important than the marriage between Yue Li and Prince Ji Rong? As for the ancestral hall, when should it be repaired or not?
Even though Ruan Yuelou has been very busy due to the imperial examination and his sister's marriage, it does not mean that he has not paid attention to the external situation. In the past few days, there has been a sudden storm in Yonghuang City, and he is not unaware of it.
Could it be that... his father felt something was wrong with the current situation and wanted to send him away in advance?
However, with his current status, what else would he need to do?
No matter what Ruan Yuelou thought, he still had no choice but to obey Ruan Ting's order and take people to leave the capital for the Ruan family's hometown early the next morning. Naturally, the news reached Xue Ya's ears smoothly, "Master,
Do you want someone to stop Ruan Yuelou?"
Mr. Xueya stroked the strings lightly and chuckled: "No, we still need Ruan Xiang's help. If we make him anxious, it might really be a dead end. Ruan Yuelou has nothing to do with the overall situation.
.”
"Yes, Young Master." The person standing behind Xue Ya said respectfully.
Xue Ya asked while stroking the piano: "How are you preparing?"
The man said: "Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."
Xue Ya sighed softly, "Everything is ready...you still have to be careful. The Regent's Palace and the Luo family are not easy people to deal with. There is also the person hiding in the dark. Maybe I should visit him."
.”
Hearing this, the man beside him couldn't help but said: "Sir, that man intends to take advantage of Luan Yisi to fish in troubled waters. I'm afraid he doesn't have any good intentions towards us. If he..."
Xue Ya said: "The reason why he is using us is because he himself does not have enough power. The dignified eldest son of the Yao family has been suppressed by two generations of emperors in Dasheng. The resentment in his heart may have been out of control for a long time."
"He is Xie Yan's biological uncle after all." the man reminded.
Xue Ya said: "My uncle? Didn't you delay him from taking action? Xie Yan was tortured by Prince Mu's palace when he was young, and the Yao family ignored him. If the Yao family hadn't disappeared, the arrogant and conceited eldest son of the Yao family might not have done anything.
He cares about an unpopular legitimate son in Prince Mu's palace. Besides, Prince Mu and Yao Yun are his enemies, isn't Xie Yan the son of his enemies?"
"this……"
"If there is such a big mess in Shangyong, isn't it Xie Yan who is ultimately responsible for ending it?" Xue Ya sighed: "Xie Yan is probably just like me, born with shallow love."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The man did not dare to say anything more, Xue Ya pressed the strings, and the clang of the piano in the room suddenly stopped.
The room was quiet for a while. Xue Ya pushed Qin Yi in front of him to stand up and said, "Go ahead and be careful. You can't make any mistakes."
The man silently accepted the order, turned around and walked out.
After the man went out and closed the door, Xue Ya just looked at the other person in the corner of the room.
The man was wearing white clothes, with long hair shawl, and a handsome appearance.
If there was a life-size glazed mirror placed in front of Xue Ya, the figure reflected in the mirror would be almost the same as that person.
It's just that the look on his face is not as cold as the snow cliff, but with a touch of worry.
Xue Ya's eyes fell on his face and he said calmly: "After tomorrow, you can leave here."
The man looked up at Xue Ya and said, "I don't understand, what's the point of doing this...?"
Xue Ya said coldly: "You don't need to understand, you just need to do what I say."
The man nodded and said obediently: "Okay."
Xue Ya stared at his face for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Do you think appearance is really so important?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then slowly replied: "In life, isn't the face the most common thing you see in people? It's probably very important, right?"
Xue Ya asked: "So, will the father not recognize his son? Will he be completely unable to distinguish the two identical faces?"
The man looked at him and hesitated to speak. Xue Ya said coldly: "What do you want to say?"
The man sighed and said: "Maybe... it's just because it's been too long. It's been twenty years. Children and adults are different after all. Do you have to do this? The Ruan family..."
Xue Ya's eyes darkened, "You want to stop me?"
The man shook his head and said, "No, you can do whatever you want."
Xue Ya was then satisfied, nodded and said: "I am doing it for your own good. Since you are so merciful, how about I avenge you?"
The man didn't speak any more, and still sat in the dark corner, but looked at Xue Ya with a hint of sadness.
