The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

Nalan Jinxiu walked aside and asked: "Has Xie Lang ever been attracted to me?"

The sudden question left Xie Yuchun speechless.

At this moment, Nalan Jinxiu turned around with a sad look on her face: "Are you serious? You have never been attracted to me?"

The close questioning made Xie Yuchun completely silent. He didn't want to answer, and he didn't know how to answer.

Nalan Jinxiu lowered her head and said after a long while, "I understand."

Xie Yuchun frowned: "Your Highness, you..."

"No need to ask anymore, you will understand some things soon."

Nalan Jinxiu turned and left.

Xie Yuchun followed subconsciously, but when he reached the door, he was stopped by the palace servants outside.

what on earth is it?

Xie Yuchun paced back and forth in the room. The longer he paced, the more restless he became.

The most important thing is that he was afraid something might happen in the mansion.

"Squeak-"

The door was suddenly pushed open, Xie Yuchun turned around and met Su Sheng's gaze: "Eunuch Su."

Su Sheng raised his hand: "Master Xie, please don't be anxious. I know your rules, but please listen to me first."

Xie Yuchun took a deep breath and said, "Eunuch Su, please speak."

"The Emperor knows about the absurd things Your Highness has done, but this matter involves the reputation of the royal family, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yuchun lowered his eyes slightly: "I understand."

Su Sheng smiled and said, "It's good that you understand. The emperor will give you an explanation for what happened yesterday. Now please follow me out of the palace, Mr. Xie."

Xie Yuchun was very confused, but he was happy to be able to leave the palace.

"Then I'll trouble you, Eunuch Su."

Su Sheng waved his hand: "It's no trouble, please."

Outside the palace, Ruan Shuyan was leaning against the wall of the carriage with her eyes closed, when she heard Shang Yun's voice: "My lord, you finally..."

Before he finished speaking, the voice disappeared.

She opened her eyes, and the next moment, the man appeared in the carriage.

"Why are you here?" Xie Yuchun looked surprised.

"My husband didn't come home all night, and I was worried, so I came to see what happened."

The two looked at each other, Xie Yuchun shook his head slightly, and then asked the driver to drive away.

Speechless all the way.

After entering Tingzhuyuan, Xie Yuchun recounted what happened yesterday.

Ruan Shuyan frowned immediately, and thinking of Nalan Jinxiu's previous reminder, she said hesitantly: "Did she run into some trouble?"

Xie Yuchun said calmly: "No matter what trouble she got into, she shouldn't involve me in it."

If he had any feelings for Nalan Jinxiu, he would have become her consort long ago. Now that he has a wife, he would not get entangled with Nalan Jinxiu in all those messy matters.

Ruan Shuyan pursed her lips: "I always feel that this matter is weird."

"Even if it's a strange thing, it has nothing to do with us."

Xie Yuchun didn't want to delve into the matter further, so he said this and changed the subject.

Ruan Shuyan saw the tiredness on his face and was about to let him rest when the doorman ran over.

"The servants from the Ruan Mansion came and said something serious had happened, and asked you and your wife to come over."

Ruan Shuyan and Xie Yuchun looked at each other, then quickly stood up and walked out.

As soon as she entered the Ruan Mansion, Ruan Shuyan saw Ruan Mingcheng and asked quickly, "Brother, what happened?"

"Shui Yunjin was burned, and our shop in the north city was also smashed and looted."

Ruan Shuyan's eyebrows jumped: "Aren't all the shops in North City open today?"

"Yes, but our shop was smashed."

Ruan Shuyan: “…”

The person who took action was deliberately targeting the Ruan family.

At this moment, Ruan Mingcheng looked at Xie Yuchun and asked, "Why did you come with me today?"

"Something happened at the Ruan Mansion, so I have to come and take a look."

Xie Yuchun answered and said that he would go to North City with Ruan Mingcheng.

Ruan Shuyan also wanted to follow, but was held down in Ruan Mansion by the two men.

Ruan Mingcheng said, "You just wait here. Mother doesn't know what's going on in North City yet."

Ruan Shuyan's eyes flickered: "I understand."

After watching the two leave, Ruan Shuyan went to the backyard. However, when she got outside the yard, she was stopped outside by the maid.

"Madam said she won't see anyone."

Ruan Shuyan's eyes fell on the yard. After a long silence, she took two steps back: "I know."

The maid bowed and went into the room.

Mother Lai walked out from the back: "Miss, are we leaving?"

Ruan Shuyan shook her head: "No."

What the eldest brother said just now was that she should pay attention to the backyard, and she would not leave until they came back.

"I will have someone bring a chair."

"Ah."

As soon as Ruan Shuyan sat down, Bai received the news.

She looked at the account book in front of her, stroking it gently with her fingers.

"Looking at the young lady's appearance, she probably doesn't plan to leave. Madam, why don't you meet her?"

The old woman next to her couldn't help but speak.

Bai lowered her eyes slightly: "No."

The old woman hesitated and whispered, "That was caused by the Xie family, and the young lady was kept in the dark. Isn't it unfair to the young lady for Madam to do this?"

Bai smiled, "Why? You still want to plead for her?"

The maid quickly said she didn't dare: "I'm just afraid that Madam will be unhappy. You haven't left the house in the past few days."

Bai's eyes were dazed for a moment, then she smiled and shook her head: "I won't be angry with her for the trouble caused by the Xie family."

"Then why hasn't the lady seen you?"

The old woman really didn't understand this matter, and even her eyes were full of confusion.

Bai closed the account book in her hand and said, "I made this statement for the Xie family to see. You don't really think that the Xie family is convinced, do you?"

The old woman was stunned: "The Ruan family has contributed both effort and manpower to solve the Xie family's troubles. They have gained benefits, so why shouldn't they accept it?"

"Yes, why should they not accept it?"

Bai repeated the old woman's words with a smile on her face, but if you looked closely, you would find that her eyes were cold.

Then, she asked herself, "Because they think that the Ruan family is a merchant family, how can they compare to the Xie family?"

The room fell into silence, and everyone around was silent.

After a while, Bai waved her hand and said, "Okay, you all go out. As for outside...if she wants to sit, let her sit. Just bring some tea and snacks."

Not long after, tea and snacks arrived in front of Ruan Shuyan.

She took a look and raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Thank mother for me."

Time passed little by little, and before long, it was evening.

Xie Yuchun and Ruan Mingcheng turned around. Ruan Shuyan looked at them and keenly noticed that both of them smelled of blood.

"You fought in North City. Who was injured?"

Xie Yuchun coughed lightly: "No one was injured."

Ruan Shuyan's face darkened: "Really?"

Just as Xie Yuchun was about to answer, Ruan Mingcheng's hand fell on his shoulder.

"Look at you, if you're hurt, just tell me the truth. Why are you making my sister worry for no reason?"

Ruan Shuyan's eyes immediately fell on Xie Yuchun, and a coldness emanated from her body.
