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

The incident in the North City became more and more serious, and before long, it spread to the palace.

The emperor looked at the people below, and was so angry that he couldn't speak: "I have repeatedly ordered that nothing can go wrong in the North City, but you..."

"Snapped!"

He grabbed the paperweight beside him and smashed it to the ground. "Tell me, why did the news of yesterday's incident only come now?"

"In reply to the emperor, the capital government thought this was a small matter, so they locked up those hooligans and put the matter under control."

The emperor felt his eyebrows throbbing. Beicheng had always been a major concern for him. With great difficulty, Ruan Shuyan appeared to appease the people in Beicheng, but trouble broke out in the imperial court.

"The autumn hunt will begin in two days. If this matter has not been resolved by the time I leave the capital, all the people from the capital government will be kicked out of the capital!"

The emperor was furious, and his men did not dare to delay for a moment. They investigated again and again, but could not find out the circumstances behind those ruffians.

Xie family.

Mother Lai informed Ruan Shuyan of the outside news one by one: "Miss, those people in the government office...are they still fooling around?"

It’s no wonder that Lai’s mother would think this way. This matter is really a bit outrageous. That is the government office in the capital. The fact that they had deliberately covered it up before meant that someone had made a hint behind the scenes. How could it be possible not to find out?

Ruan Shuyan rubbed her fingertips and said, "People in the capital's government offices are not that bold."

"Ah? Then why were those hooligans released earlier?"

This was also the question in Ruan Shuyan's mind. No matter how she thought about it, this matter should not be dragged on. After all, it was the emperor who spoke up. There couldn't be anyone who could give orders to the people in the capital government without going through the emperor's control, right?

Just then, Xie Yuchun appeared at the door.

"The matter of North City has been investigated."

Ruan Shuyan was startled: "Didn't I just say...why does my husband look so bad?"

Xie Yuchun's face was very gloomy. When he heard the question, he retracted the five fingers hanging by his legs.

"Because of the matter in North City, we can't pursue it any further."

"What do you mean?"

Ruan Shuyan felt uneasy, "The one who did it can't..."

"It was Princess Thirteen who did it."

Nalan Jinxiu?

Ruan Shuyan was stunned: "How is this possible?"

"I also thought it was impossible, but this is what the Jingji government found, and she admitted it."

Hearing this, Ruan Shuyan fell silent instantly.

Nalan Jinxiu had been in trouble because Shui Yunjin reminded her, so why did she change her mind the next moment?

"why?"

Ruan Shuyan asked in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in her clear eyes, "Is someone deliberately..."

"She's going to marry Yang Ning."

Marry Yang Ning?

Ruan Shuyan opened her mouth: "Why... so suddenly?"

"There was unusual movement on the border. The emperor was afraid of Yang Ning, but he had to let Yang Ning go. He was afraid that Qi would attack."

Xie Yuchun spoke the last sentence in a low voice.

Ruan Shuyan frowned: "Even if that's the case, we shouldn't let the Thirteenth Princess marry there, and the Seventh Princess of Qi is still in our Chen State, how could Qi State..."

Having said this, Ruan Shuyan suddenly fell silent.

If the emperor could marry his beloved Nalan Jinxiu to Yang Ning just because he was afraid of Yang Ning, then how could the emperor of Qi care about a princess?

But the problem is——

"How could the Thirteenth Princess agree? Hasn't she always been..."

Xie Yuchun tilted his head slightly: "Do you remember that I was left in the palace before?"

Ruan Shuyan tightened her fingertips: "Is that a test?"

"Well, I just found out today that it was an opportunity given to the Thirteenth Princess by the Emperor."

Ruan Shuyan opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Do you think that Princess Thirteen should not marry Yang Ning?"

Xie Yuchun rubbed his brows and said, "Yang Ning and I are mortal enemies. Given Princess Thirteen's personality, I'm afraid the two of us will not get along."

Ruan Shuyan smiled and shook her head: "My husband, you are overthinking. Yang Ning is a general after all. He is definitely not someone who would attack a woman just because of some grudges."

Xie Yuchun was startled: "No, I'm not thinking about that, he..."

"Madam Xie, do you trust my character so much?"

The sudden voice interrupted Xie Yuchun's words. He turned his head and asked coldly, "How did you get in?"

At the window, Yang Ning was holding the window sill with both hands. He jumped into the house and said, "He came in just like that. Your Xie family's protection is not good enough. It needs to be improved."

Ruan Shuyan: “…”

She had changed once because of Yang Ning, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't stop him.

Xie Yuchun asked coldly: "Why are you here at this time?"

"Of course I came to see Sir Xie without the princess's entanglement."

Yang Ning had a smile on his face. "I have to say, Lord Xie is very good-looking. No wonder the princess has been pestering him for so long. It's a pity, though. When the princess and I get married, we'll have to go to the border. By then, hahahaha..."

Yang Ning laughed out loud.

Ruan Shuyan and Xie Yuchun looked at him with strange eyes. After staring for a long time, Yang Ning immediately stopped talking.

"What are those looks between you two?"

Ruan Shuyan said calmly: "My husband has never had any thoughts about the princess. If General Yang wants to sow discord, he has to find something I don't know about."

She shook her head and walked aside to pour herself a cup of tea.

Yang Ning: “…”

It turns out that his means were not good enough.

"Tsk!"

He clicked his tongue and walked over to sit down opposite Ruan Shuyan.

"I want to use the two hundred thousand taels of silver you gave me last time."

Ruan Shuyan raised her eyes slightly: "What does the general plan to buy?"

"It's simple. Rice, herbs, weapons and horses..."

Yang Ning started counting.

Ruan Shuyan was listening carefully at first, but after hearing about weapons and horses, she didn't even want to look at Yang Ning.

"General Yang, you and my husband are mortal enemies, aren't you afraid that I might do something in between?"

Yang Ning supported the armrest with one hand and leaned back on the chair: "What's wrong with mortal enemies? You and I are not mortal enemies. What's more, I believe in the character of the Ruan family. How can a business person offend a customer?"

After saying so much, aren’t you still worried?

Ruan Shuyan lowered her eyes and did not say what she was thinking.

As time passed, the nonchalant look on Yang Ning's face disappeared: "Why, Miss Ruan is going to refuse this deal?"

Ruan Shuyan came back to her senses: "Of course not, but for this business, please ask General Yang to go to the Ruan Mansion. I believe my elder brother can give General Yang a satisfactory answer."

Yang Ning stared at Ruan Shuyan for a long time, and the smile on his lips suddenly deepened: "Okay, I get it."

He left as soon as he said he would, leaving Ruan Shuyan and Xie Yuchun looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a brief silence, Ruan Shuyan asked, "Why did my husband become Yang Ning's mortal enemy?"

A scholar and a general on the border, they don't seem like two people who would have a connection?
