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

Xie Yuchun's scalp tingled. He never expected that his brother-in-law would suddenly say such a thing.

"Madam, I..."

Ruan Shuyan tilted her head slightly and said, "Let's go find a doctor."

Ruan Mingcheng coughed lightly: "Well, I want to go back and rest."

Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by a cold "Stop".

"what happened?"

Ruan Shuyan said calmly: "You two went there together. He is injured. Will you be fine? Let's wait for the doctor to come."

Ruan Mingcheng was obviously unwilling to stay, but seeing Ruan Shuyan's expression, he finally said nothing.

Not long after, the doctor arrived and treated the wounds of Xie Yuchun and Ruan Mingcheng respectively.

Fortunately, the injuries of both of them were not serious, so Ruan Shuyan's face did not look so ugly.

But soon, she asked about North City.

Ruan Mingcheng snorted coldly: "They are just a few hooligans. They have been sent to the government office in the capital. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a result tomorrow."

Ruan Shuyan's fingertips moved slightly: "Who sent those hooligans?"

"It's unclear at the moment, but there is only one family in the capital that can go to such lengths with the Ruan family."

As soon as Ruan Mingcheng said this, Ruan Shuyan knew what was going on, but after thinking about it, she felt that this statement was wrong.

"The eldest wife of the Ruan family shouldn't be that stupid."

Ruan Mingcheng smiled, but if you look closely, you can see that his eyes are full of sarcasm: "Has the eldest branch of the Ruan family ever done anything smart?"

When their eyes met, Ruan Shuyan suddenly didn't know what to say.

It seems that the eldest branch of the Ruan family has not done anything smart so far, but...

"I still feel like there's something weird behind this."

At this moment, Xie Yuchun spoke up: "Have you forgotten that there is a Hou Mansion behind the Ruan family's main house?"

As soon as these words were spoken, both of their eyes fell on Xie Yuchun.

After a brief pause, Ruan Shuyan rubbed her brows and said, "My husband, you want to talk about Ruan Shuhuan, right?"

Xie Yuchun raised an eyebrow: "Why doesn't Madam think it's Qi Xingzhou?"

Qi Xingzhou?

Ruan Shuyan said without hesitation: "He doesn't have that brain."

More importantly, Ruan Shuhuan was also doing business. Given Qi Xingzhou's personality, as long as Ruan Shuhuan didn't cut off his money, he would never set his sights outside.

and many more.

Ruan Shuyan suddenly thought of something and looked at Xie Yuchun unconsciously.

"Why are you looking at me like that, ma'am?"

Xie Yuchun wanted to ask her why she was so sure, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind when he was looked at by Ruan Shuyan.

Ruan Shuyan pursed her lips: "Does Qi Xingzhou want to take your place?"

She remembered that Qi Xingzhou had always wanted to enter the imperial court, even though the Hou Mansion had made many arrangements for him and sent people in.

But as both of them had just entered the court, the gap between Qi Xingzhou and Xie Yuchun was too big. There was no guarantee that Ruan Shuhuan would not cause trouble behind the scenes and make Qi Xingzhou have inappropriate thoughts.

If this is the case, then the recent troubles encountered by the Ruan and Xie families make sense.

While thinking, Ruan Shuyan spoke out all her thoughts.

For a moment, the entire front hall fell into silence.

Neither Xie Yuchun nor Ruan Mingcheng expected that she would think so much through just a few words.

After a few moments, Ruan Mingcheng broke the silence: "What you said makes sense, but the root of the Xie family's affairs still lies with Xie Yurui. Besides, you forgot that it was not Qi Xingzhou who took out the 100,000 taels of silver."

Ruan Shuyan said calmly, "Whether it is Qi Xingzhou or not, we just need to wait and see what happens in the Hou Mansion. As for the shop in North City...let the people below not clean it up for now."

Ruan Mingcheng raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you have a way to deal with it?"

Ruan Shuyan raised the corners of her lips: "My Ruan family's shop is not so easy to destroy."

If the Ruan family's first branch and the Hou Mansion were really innocent, she would not do anything, but if they did it... then let Qi Xingzhou get out of the court completely.

A hint of coldness flashed in Ruan Shuyan's eyes, and after a moment, she and Xie Yuchun left the Ruan Mansion.

"Madam, are you thinking too much?"

On the way, Xie Yuchun suddenly asked.

Ruan Shuyan tilted her head slightly: "Why did my husband say that?"

"The matter between the Xie family and the Ruan family may not necessarily be..."

Halfway through his speech, Xie Yuchun suddenly stopped talking and frowned. He realized that what he wanted to say seemed to be untenable.

Because in the entire capital, it seems that the only two families who can really plot against each other in this way are the Dafang and Houfu.

After a while, Xie Yuchun uttered six words.

“We have no evidence.”

Ruan Shuyan smiled, she understood Xie Yuchun's concerns.

"If you don't have any, then look for them. As for the Xie family, the emperor has targeted the person who offered 100,000 taels of silver. We don't need to worry about it anymore, but the affairs of North City are not just the business of the Ruan family."

Half of the northern city belongs to the imperial court.

"You want to bring this matter to the Emperor?"

Ruan Shuyan said, "There's no need for me to make a fuss. The emperor should have known about it. Let's see what happens tomorrow. Oh, by the way, I remember the autumn hunt will start in three days, right?"

Xie Yuchun nodded: "The emperor has ordered me to return to the court. We should go with him on this autumn hunt."

Ruan Shuyan curved her eyebrows and said, "That's great, let's go out and relax."

Three days, this is a really good time.

After returning to Xie's house, they both went to bed.

As dawn approached, Ruan Shuyan woke up to a burst of noise.

She rubbed her swollen and painful brows and asked, "What happened outside? Why is there so much noise?"

Chun Tao pushed the door open and walked in, her face full of anger: "It's Miss Xie. She heard from somewhere that you will be in charge of the autumn hunt, so she came here early in the morning to make a fuss, saying that she wanted to go with you."

The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and Ruan Shuyan signaled Chuntao to help her change her clothes.

A moment later, Ruan Shuyan stood in front of Xie Linlin. Her cold eyes made Xie Linlin speechless instantly.

Time passed little by little. Xie Linlin couldn't stand the silence any longer and asked, "Why don't you let me go on the autumn hunt? I'm the daughter of the Xie family. I have the right to go..."

"Did you go and meet Prince Duan?"

Ruan Shuyan interrupted her directly, her tone full of sarcasm, "Xie Linlin, you don't really think that others can't see what you're thinking, do you?"

Xie Linlin's eyes flickered: "Who, who said I was going to meet Prince Duan? I just wanted to go out and relax."

Ruan Shuyan smiled and said, "Chun Tao, go to Qingfeng Courtyard and ask the old lady if she is willing to let Xie Linlin go on the autumn hunt."

Chuntao glanced at Xie Linlin, responded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xie Linlin.

Xie Linlin said anxiously: "You are the one who makes the decisions for the Xie family now, why bother asking my mother? Ruan Shuyan, you just... you just don't want me to marry into Prince Duan's mansion, right?"

"If you can really marry into Prince Duan's mansion, I won't hinder you, but Xie Linlin, do you really think you can marry in?"
