"Yes, I gave you a choice, but you made the wrong choice."

Speaking of the past, Ruan Qinghong sincerely felt it was a pity, "If you had listened to me and married Ma Bangao's son, wouldn't there have been so many problems?"

"Not necessarily."

Seeing that Ruan Qinghong was still stubborn at this time, Ruan Yunluo felt disappointed.

Thinking of the purple bruises on Ma's wife's wrist, she reminded him, "Ma Bangao's son is unruly and likes to beat people. If I had listened to you and married him, I would have been unable to bear the beatings..."

"nonsense."

Ruan Qinghong frowned.

He was not satisfied with Ruan Yunluo's repeated questioning of him, nor was he satisfied with Ruan Yunluo's picky behavior, so he suppressed him and said, "As long as you follow him and don't provoke him, why would he hit you for no reason?

Even if he really hit you, you have been taught so much about being respectful and virtuous since childhood, so how can you not control a man?

If you are really that useless, who can you blame?"

"Ah……"

Ruan Yunluo found it ridiculous, so she asked back, "Have you ever heard of the saying, 'If you get an inch, you will get a inch further'?

In this world, some people may have human skin but are actually no different from beasts.

The nature of animals is bloodthirsty and murderous.

You want me, a weak person, to influence a person who is cruel by nature. How is this tantamount to trying to get the skin of a tiger?

Will the tiger not kill the sheep just because it is docile?

If the four words "respectful, obedient, virtuous, and good" are so useful, then why does the court still need to maintain an army and establish criminal penalties? Can't you just sit down and recite scriptures to persuade criminals?

You are so respectful and virtuous, so next time the northwest invades, just don't let the soldiers fight and kill each other. Ending the war with war is a bad strategy, which shows that you are incompetent as a prime minister. It is better to use your omnipotent education to influence them, which is the real ability..."

"you……"

Ruan Qinghong was speechless.

Ruan Yunluo's sharpness and rationality were beyond his expectations.

He thought about it, sighed, and changed to a more rational and mature way to explain to Ruan Yunluo: "Hey, Yunluo, I asked you to marry Ma Bangao's son. Do you think I was harming you?"

"It won't help me after all."

"No, I'm helping you."

Ruan Qinghong shook his head and corrected it very firmly.

In order to let Ruan Yunluo put down his guard, he finally explained what happened eighteen years ago, "Yunluo, actually everything I did back then was all for your own good.

Think about it, Ma Bangao is from the Hua family.

Eighteen years ago, the late emperor was still alive, and the current emperor was just a hostage. No one knew who would rule the world in the future. But there was no doubt about who would be the queen next to the ruler of the world. Everyone knew that the next queen would definitely be named Hua.

If you could marry Ma Bangao's son, wouldn't that be a perfect opportunity for you to get on board the Hua family's ship?

By then, even if your sister fails, you will still have hope..."

"So, are these plans of yours any good to me?"

Ruan Yunluo interrupted impatiently. "You used me and my sister to plan all this, isn't it all for your own good? If you are only doing it for yourself, how can you be doing it for my good?

At that time, you asked me to marry Ma Bangao's son, hoping that I would get on board the Hua family and become the future queen and prince.

But didn’t you ever think at that time, what if the future ruler of the world was the current emperor who was still a hostage at that time?

Then, as a princeling of the Hua family, wouldn't I become an enemy of my sister's children?

In order to hedge your bets, you actually ignored our sisters killing each other?"

"If it really comes to that, you should be thankful."

"What are you thankful for?"

"Fortunately, no matter who loses, the winner will be our Ruan family."

Ruan Qinghong spoke neither slowly nor slowly, but there was unspeakable cruelty in his voice.

He taught Ruan Yunluo: "Yunluo, although it sounds cruel for sisters to kill each other, this is exactly the best way to consider the overall situation. And I believe that no matter who wins, you two sisters will always try your best to save the other's life. Other enemies are not so kind.

Moreover……

When you were sixteen years old and the current emperor was not yet a hostage, didn’t Yun Qi suggest that you go to the prince’s palace to help her?

Since she has that idea, it means that she is not worried that you will become an enemy.

And don't worry that your child will become her child's enemy.

Because she understood that no matter how the times change, you are always sisters. Even if one day you go to different sides because of different interests, you will always be closer than outsiders. If you can leave a way out, leave a way out. Even if you really can't leave it, you will always give the other party a decent and happy death..."

Ruan Yunluo was silent.

She was only sixteen when Ruan Yunqi suggested that she go to the Prince's Mansion to help.

Although she didn't think about it so deeply at that time, she felt uncomfortable when she suddenly heard that she would share a husband with her sister. She felt that the relationship was awkward, so she refused to accept it no matter what.

Later, when she calmed down gradually, she realized that she understood a little bit why Ruan Yunqi made such a suggestion.

Although she was still not satisfied with the suggestion, Ruan Yunqi did not force her after all, so she wanted to find a chance to make things clear with Ruan Yunqi...

But who would have thought that Ruan Yunqi would become pregnant soon after, and Jun Yiguang, who was still a prince at the time, was also sent to be a hostage...

The little grudges between her and Ruan Yunqi seemed less important...

Later, Jun Yizheng was born and she got married. After getting married, she was exhausted physically and mentally by a series of events in the Xiao family. Gradually, the two sisters became more and more distant.

There are some things that you can’t say the more distant you are, and the more you can’t say them, the more distant you become. In the end, even she herself felt that there was no need to say them anymore, and no one would listen.

If she hadn't been reborn, she really wouldn't have been so shameless...

Sighing in his heart, Ruan Yunluo took a sip of tea and looked at Ruan Qinghong, suddenly curious, "You are betting on both sides like this, aren't you afraid of the late emperor's suspicion?"

"I'm just placing a bet, and I'm not interfering in the fight between the princes." Ruan Qinghong stroked his beard and said complacently, "From the beginning to the end, I've only been loyal to the one sitting on the throne..."

"No wonder I haven't seen you help my sister..."

"of course."

Ruan Qinghong nodded, "I planned your marriage with your sister only to preserve the basic wealth of the next generation of the Ruan family.

As for the real honor and favor of the Ruan family, it still depends on the brothers in your clan, your two younger brothers.

After all, if your two younger brothers are capable and have a promising future, the Ruan family will still be in power without relying on you. Not only will they be in power, but they can even support you in return..."

"support?"

Ruan Yunluo sneered.

She couldn't help but remind Ruan Qinghong, "When I was forced to take care of my mother-in-law during her confinement, no one supported me.

Dad, you are the prime minister, you are my real dad.

If you don't support me, how can I count on my two half-brothers?

It sounds nice, but supporting is just an excuse to make your behavior seem less shameless. In fact, you are using our sisters' marriage to cover for the Ruan family and our so-called brother.

You don’t care about how we live, you just want to make sure that our marriage is good for you. You just want to make sure that even if our younger brothers are not successful in the future, they can always use our two connections to get benefits from the brother-in-law you choose...”
