It was daylight, and it was not the usual lunch break, but Zhaorong held his head and ordered the maid standing beside him, "Bai He, I am tired, please send one to Sister Ruan."
If a person is really sleepy, her hands and feet should be weak. Ruan Yuyi took a glance and noticed that her hand was tightly clasped on the corner of the table. The bracelet gifted by Mrs. Cheng Zhu hidden in her sleeve was slipping because her wrist was hanging down.
came out.
Bai He bowed in response, turned to Ruan Yuyi and said, "Miss Ruan, please."
How can one hand hold two people? Since Cheng Xingqiu himself is indecisive and makes constant decisions, he has to suffer the consequences. At least how to explain this issue to the eldest princess is enough for him to drink a pot.
.
She didn't look at Zhao Rong anymore and turned around to leave. After turning the corner, she didn't intend to leave directly. She stopped and said, "Mu Ling, let's look around. Mu Xiang is probably in the west wing."
Mu Ling glanced carefully around the corner, with some scruples, "But the eldest princess -" It wasn't that he wasn't worried about Mu Xiang, but this was the eldest princess's place after all, and it was inevitable to cause trouble when looking for someone. With her temperament,
I'm afraid it won't be allowed.
As long as she doesn't give them too much trouble, she'll be fine.
Ruan Yuyi looked ahead from a distance. The low tree not far away had only a few dead branches, which was inconspicuous. In fact, it was a jujube tree, which she planted when she first entered the mansion.
It's just that during those days, she didn't care about other things. Maybe the servants in charge of the garden saw that she didn't take care of things, so they relaxed their maintenance. Now they probably won't bear fruit anymore. Unfortunately, she only tasted the first crop.
Small, bland green dates.
She withdrew her eyes and said softly, "As long as the divorce letter is not issued for one day, the eldest princess will no longer be a serious master in the Cheng Mansion. What's more, what she did was not right, and we have no reason to feel guilty. This thing
The layout of the compartment happens to be familiar, making it easy to find people.”
With these words, Mu Ling finally calmed down and said, "Yes."
So the two of them continued walking. If there was a wing on one side, the wood spirit would knock on the door and go in to look for it.
They searched from house to house, calling out one after another. They saw that only the first few houses were left, and they didn't want to run into Cheng Xingqiu head-on.
When he saw that she was near the west wing, he was a little surprised, "Lingling, why are you here?" He knew that Zhaorong was hostile to her, so he thought that the two of them would not be close. After thinking about it, he thought that it was.
Her behavior finally moved her.
He even thought about how happy it would be for them to get back together in the future.
So the smile on his face grew stronger and he added, "By the way, what do those maids think? Do they agree with you?"
Ruan Yuyi originally came to Mu Xiang and didn't want to pay too much attention to him, but now she heard that he had the nerve to mention this matter, stopped walking, and sounded calm.
"My lord, some people and things cannot be balanced by numbers. If you want to pamper His Highness, I won't say anything, but you should never touch Mu Xiang." Once this matter comes out, don't say anything.
If she reunites with him, I'm afraid it will only mark him in her heart.
Cheng Xingqiu had a high spirit and always looked down on her subordinates like nothing. How could she understand what Mu Xiang meant to her. He was disdainful in his heart, but pretended to listen on his face, and said in a good voice, "Okay, since you don't like those things
It’s just a servant girl.”
He took a step forward, only to see Ruan Yuyi glance at him warily, take a step back, and then widen the distance between them.
He sighed softly, "Lingling, you are not as sensible as you used to be. She is the eldest princess, so she deserves to be given some concessions. If she gets angry, it may affect our entire Cheng family. Let's go to the younger one.
Say, you are going to call each other sisters from now on, so why bother getting into trouble over a maidservant?"
Ruan Yuyi said goodbye. She hated him the most, talking about his self-righteous truths like a naughty child. It turned out that he was multitasking, but he wanted to put this label on her head.
This is how he always looked at things.
Just like that time when she missed curfew because she was looking for fabric for him, he would not ask her why she left the house or if she was being bullied outside, but would just accuse her of wandering around.
In his eyes, she was always the one who made trouble unreasonably.
"Cheng Xingqiu, if allowed, I would rather never come to the capital."
This way you never have to meet him again.
Cheng Xingqiu's eyes trembled, and just as he was about to speak again, a young man came from behind and said respectfully to the two of them, "Young Master, Young Madam, I have invited you."
Side hall of the main room.
Mr. Cheng was sitting on the Taishi's chair, with half of the tea in the tea cup already filled. He looked at the two of them who had been waiting here for a long time.
After the two received the courtesy, he did not immediately allow them to sit down at the lower end, but waved them forward. Ruan Yuyi was slightly behind him and stood in front of Mr. Cheng.
Ruan Yuyi was in a daze, as if the last time they stood almost side by side was in a previous life, not at the wedding ceremony more than a year ago.
In her memory, the smiling faces of the guests at that time were all blurred. She only knew that the suona was loud in her ears at that time. As for the tune, she could not remember clearly.
The maid on one side presented a few thin pieces of paper with both hands. Cheng Xingqiu saw it from a distance and felt his heart skip a beat. He raised his eyes to meet Master Cheng's eyes, saw him nodding, and then took the pieces of paper.
Letter to:
As a couple, if they spend ten days together and sleep together for the rest of their lives, the reason is that they have one heart and one mind. If they are not harmonious, it is like being enemies——
Cheng Xingqiu read it word by word. Although the words were in black and white and as clear as day, it made his eyes hurt to read.
Finally unable to stand it anymore, he clenched the rice paper tightly. He suppressed the tremor in his voice and looked directly into Mr. Cheng's eyes, "Father, what do you mean?"
Mr. Cheng's expression remained unchanged and he said in a deep voice, "Qiu'er, you should know what my father thinks of doing this. I don't want to say anything more. You just have to bookmark this and leave, and I will send a copy to Wu at that time.
Ruan Prefecture, this matter ends here. As for each of us getting married, we will make plans later."
It's just a pity that Sister Yi has to go through all kinds of troubles after marrying into the Cheng family. Later, when she and Rui'er get married, he will find other places to compensate her.
Cheng Xingqiu was silent for a while, "I have already talked to the eldest princess, and she agreed that she can ask Lingling to be my concubine." She was his wife, so how could he give it to someone else, even if that person was directly related to him?
.
"Then have you asked Sister Yi for her opinion?" Mr. Cheng said sternly, placing his hands on the armrests, and the words he spoke were unquestionable.
He said eagerly, "Ling Ling is like that -"
"Do you have some pen and ink ready?" she said softly.
The maid on one side quickly handed over a pen full of ink. Ruan Yuyi took it and started to write without hesitation. Just as she was about to write the word Ruan, Cheng Xingqiu snatched the pen in her hand and threw it aside.
It was as if he was throwing some poisonous snake that bit people.
"Father, you don't have to persuade me about the dissolution of the engagement," he said, taking a few pieces of flimsy tissue paper and tearing it into fine pieces. As if that wasn't enough, he crumpled a bunch of shredded paper again.
Form it into a ball and hold it tightly in the palm of your hand.
Ruan Yuyi lowered her eyes and felt calm in her heart. The decision to find the prince was indeed the right one. It seemed that Cheng Xingqiu was becoming stubborn and even Mr. Cheng had to compromise.
"My lord, you can draft more documents. No matter how many pieces you tear, it won't help. Besides, it's nothing to worry about now." She said softly, because she lowered her head and said it, it seemed to her ears that it was coming from the sky, and it didn't seem to be real.
