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

Ruan Shuyan coughed lightly: "Military Advisor Xu, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Why do you have to act so resentful?"

Xu Xing sighed, "I don't want to look so resentful, it's just that Madam Xie dealt me ​​a blow that caught me off guard."

Ruan Shuyan maintained a smile on her face, but she disagreed in her heart.

Don't think she doesn't know. Xu Xing had wanted to spread the news a long time ago. The promises made by Yang Ning made it difficult for the Zhenbei Army to take action, but Xu Xing was unwilling in his heart.

So, she just went with the flow.

Thinking of this, Ruan Shuyan directly pointed this out: "Military Advisor Xu definitely doesn't want to maintain the status quo. There is no problem with me spreading this news."

Xu Xing snorted: "Even if there is no problem, Madam should have informed me before spreading the news. Now it is neither here nor there, and it has not achieved the result I want at all."

Ruan Mingcheng raised her eyebrows slightly. According to what Xu Xing said, she was indeed wrong because she disrupted Xu Xing's arrangements.

But when she thought about it, Ruan Shuyan looked at Xu Xing and always felt that there was something strange about it.

After a moment, she suppressed the strange feeling and asked, "Can it be remedied?"

Their eyes met, Xu Xing clenched his hands into fists, put them to his mouth and coughed twice.

Ruan Shuyan: “…”

The strange feeling that had just been suppressed suddenly emerged again inexplicably.

At this time, Xu Xing said: "The Zhenbei Army needs a lot of food."

Ruan Shuyan raised her eyebrows: "So?"

"Mrs. Xie, can you get the food that the Zhenbei Army needs?"

Xu Xing asked, and then quickly gave a condition: "As long as Madam Xie can get enough food, I can make the decision and ask the Zhenbei Army to make concessions to Madam Xie in certain aspects, and even help Madam Xie deal with things."

She was moved.

Ruan Shuyan's eyebrows moved slightly, and after her thoughts turned, she smiled.

"can."

She agreed so readily that Xu Xing felt a little suspicious, but he quickly suppressed it.

The Zhenbei Army has a large number of people. The general originally bought food from other merchants, which resulted in the current situation. It would be better to cooperate with the Ruan family.

At the very least, Mrs. Xie in front of him couldn't stay at the border for that long.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing said goodbye and left.

Not long after, Xie Yuchun came over and asked, "I heard that you made some deals with Xu Xing?"

"It's not really a deal, we just get what we need."

After a pause, Ruan Shuyan tilted her head slightly and said, "My husband, you got the news really quickly."

As soon as Xu Xing left, Xie Yuchun came over. He must have asked in advance.

Xie Yuchun nodded and said frankly: "I just happened to run into him outside, so we chatted for a while."

It turned out to be the case.

Ruan Shuyan's eyes moved slightly, asking him what he thought about this matter.

After careful consideration, Xie Yuchun said, "Yang Ning's style of doing things is fine, but the Zhenbei Army has already suffered a loss this time, so you must be careful when doing business with them."

Ruan Shuyan curved her eyebrows and said, "I know that."

It's nothing more than the saying "every failure makes you wiser", but Ruan Shuyan has always been honest in doing business and is not afraid of any calculations.

As for using power to pressure others, she didn't think Yang Ning in the capital could do anything to her.

After thinking about it, she asked Xie Yuchun why he came here this time.

Xie Yuchun immediately became serious: "I want you to go back to Beijing."

Ruan Shuyan was surprised: "Me? What's the trouble?"

Xie Yuchun said, "It's not a big deal. My uncle is going to visit me in half a month and he said he wants to stay in the capital for a while."

Ruan Shuyan rubbed her fingertips: "If that's all, there's no need for my husband to ask, right?"

Xie Yuchun praised: "Madam is very smart and sharp. Yes, he found something and wants to give it to you."

Ruan Shuyan's eyes flashed: "Since it is given to me, why not send it to the border? Besides, my uncle can also come to the capital, right?"

"I don't know either, but my uncle insists on going to the capital, so I can only let you go back."

At this point, Xie Yuchun remembered something else: "Oh, by the way, my mother will also be there this time."

Madam Xie?

Ruan Shuyan was given a headache by this person: "What is she going back for?"

We finally got them to the border, wouldn't it cause trouble if we bring them back to the capital?

Xie Yuchun also knew the key, but he was helpless: "This is the order sent by the Queen Mother."

Ruan Shuyan was silent, but she had more questions.

"Why did the Queen Mother ask Mother to go back?"

"I don't know."

Ruan Shuyan: “…”

She glared at Xie Yuchun and said unhappily, "You know nothing about anything. I don't know what else you can know, my husband."

Xie Yuchun also felt embarrassed, but the facts were out in the open and he couldn't refute it. He could only look at Ruan Shuyan quietly.

After a while, Ruan Shuyan felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and subconsciously turned her head away: "Okay, I agree to this matter, but my mother is still in Shuiyun City, I have to find someone to bring her over."

"I've asked Shang Yun to pick it up."

Hearing this, Ruan Shuyan nodded and ordered Xie Yuchun to leave.

"I have things to take care of, so I won't chat with my husband any more."

Their eyes met.

After a brief encounter, Xie Yuchun got up and left.

The next day, Madam Xie arrived at Shuiming City, and when she saw Ruan Shuyan, her face turned extremely dark.

"What are you doing at the border?"

Ruan Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled: "My husband was sent here, and I accompanied him to take up the post."

"Outside?"

Madam Xie's voice suddenly rose: "He has made so many contributions in the capital, why was he sent out?"

"Isn't it because of mother's recklessness?"

The voice from behind answered on behalf of Ruan Shuyan.

Xie Linlin strode up to Old Madam Xie, her tone a little cold: "Second brother did so many ridiculous things in the capital, mother knows it, why are you pretending to be stupid here?"

Old Madam Xie glared and raised her hand to slap Xie Linlin in the face.

"Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?"

Just as the slap was about to land, a hand suddenly rose up and grabbed Madam Xie's wrist.

Ruan Shuyan tilted her head slightly, her tone seemed gentle but contained a hint of threat: "This is the entrance to Shuiming City. If my mother beats someone here, everyone nearby will know about it within half an hour."

"Do you want the people of Shuiming City to know that the new county magistrate has an unreasonable mother?"

Old Madam Xie wanted to say something, but the words went around in her mouth and only two words came out.

"Let go!"

Ruan Shuyan raised her eyebrows slightly and cooperated by letting go of her hand.

Madam Xie withdrew her hand, her eyes turned cold: "I'm tired."

Ruan Shuyan made a "please" gesture and said, "Mother, please get in the carriage. You can rest when you return to the mansion."

The carriage ran along the street and stopped outside the mansion.

Madam Xie got off the carriage, and her expression changed the moment she looked up.
