Chu Zichen's face originally showed a high-spirited and unrestrained look.
When he heard Ruan Xiangxiang ask the last sentence, a crack appeared on his cool face, and finally turned into an awkward laugh.
"What is Miss Ruan talking about? I don't quite understand."
Ruan Xiangxiang did not follow him around the bush and asked directly: "Mr. Chu, you and Miss Li were married to each other at Shuiyun Villa. You left in a hurry and made Miss Li cry for a long time. Now, you are back."
Isn’t it just to pick her up?”
Chu Zichen smiled awkwardly, and then said seriously: "I came to Anyang City this time not for personal matters, but for business."
"Official business?" Ruan Xiangxiang asked curiously: "Since it is official business, why did you find me? I am just a commoner woman, and there is no official business between me and Mr. Chu."
Chu Zichen smiled and said: "Miss Ruan is too modest. I think this clothing appreciation meeting was very well done."
Ruan Xiangxiang: "Excuse me."
"Hey, everyone, don't stand around. Sit down first. I'll talk to you two slowly."
With that said, Chu Zichen smiled and invited the two of them to the table for tea.
Ruan Xiangxiang and Chu Munan looked at each other, nodded tacitly, and then sat down.
They wanted to see what kind of medicine Chu Zichen was selling in his gourd.
After the three of them sat down, Chu Zichen asked his entourage to pass on the refreshments.
"Mr. Chu, we have a lot of things to do today. If you have anything, please speak quickly."
Ruan Xiangxiang urged.
Chu Zichen nodded and said: "This trip is to share the worries of the Holy One. Now that there are many famines in the world, the Holy One is in urgent need of a talent who can solve such major problems. Miss Ruan's good deeds in Anyang City have already spread to the capital, so
, This time I am inviting Miss Ruan to the capital on His Majesty’s orders.”
"The emperor wants to invite me to Beijing?"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Ruan Xiangxiang and Chu Munan said in unison.
Chu Zichen glanced at Chu Munan coldly, then looked at Ruan Xiangxiang, and her expression turned attentive again.
"The Holy One invited Miss Ruan, not you."
Chu Munan stood up with a swish and said in a cold voice: "Xiangxiang and I have the same spirit. If I say no, I just can't."
With that said, he reached out to pull Ruan Xiangxiang: "Xiangxiang, let's go."
Ruan Xiangxiang was pulled up by him and glanced at him awkwardly.
But she had other ideas in mind. Putting aside the important matter of solving the world's famine problem for the Holy One, they originally wanted to enter the capital.
After all, they promised Chen Caiyi that they would turn Xiangyi Fang into an imperial merchant.
"Miss Ruan." Chu Zichen also stood up eagerly, with a look of compassion on his face: "You are kind-hearted, can you bear to watch the people in the world suffer from famine? Can you bear to see them lose their humanity because of hunger?
I have heard that tragedies involving the exchange of children for food have occurred in many places. Miss Ruan, can you bear to watch this tragedy continue?"
"What does this matter have to do with our Xiangxiang? Such major events are the responsibility of the imperial court?"
Before Ruan Xiangxiang could express his stance, Chu Munan had already refused.
Chu Zichen was not happy anymore, and sneered coldly: "I invited Miss Ruan. May I ask what the relationship between this young master and Miss Ruan is? Is it your turn to make the decision for her?"
Just as Chu Munan was about to speak, Ruan Xiangxiang quickly stepped forward: "You two, stop arguing."
After that, she looked at Chu Munan and said, "Munan, I know you care about me, but Mr. Chu is right, I still have to make the decision on this matter."
