The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion
Chapter 23 I'm here to pick up my husband
Xie Linlin agreed reluctantly. Watching the servants put the things away, she sighed and finally remembered her situation.
"Mother, my yard has been burned down. Where will I live from now on?"
Her daughter is really...
Madam Xie rubbed her brows, but she didn't say what was in her mind: "Stay in Qingfeng Courtyard first, and go back after everything is cleaned up there."
"it is good."
The news that Xie Linlin moved into Qingfengyuan quickly spread throughout the Xie family.
Ruan Shuyan didn't care after hearing it. She was looking at the message sent by Huo Xiao. After reading the description on it, her brows unconsciously frowned.
What the old man said was true. I never thought that there would be such a place under the feet of the emperor.
To put it bluntly, isn't it just that the court officials are not taking action?
Ruan Shu shook his head and threw the paper in his hand into the incense burner and burned it.
On the other side, Xie Yuchun was stopped by Ruan Wen just after he came out of the morning court.
Xie Yuchun's eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed and said, "Master Ruan is polite."
Ruan Wen waved his hand and said, "Look at what Master Xie looks like. The Xie family and the Ruan family are relatives. Given our relationship, there is no need for so many red tape."
Xie Yuchun smiled but said nothing. The Xie family married into the second branch of the Ruan family, so his attitude towards the first branch of the Ruan family naturally followed Ruan Shuyan's.
As time passed, Ruan Wen could no longer maintain the smile on his face.
"Thank you, sir, this may easily lead to misunderstandings."
Xie Yuchun smiled and said, "Xie's wife is Shuyan."
After a pause, he continued, "Just now at the morning court, the emperor asked me to deal with the North City matter. I am in a hurry to check the situation, so I will not talk to Lord Ruan any more. Goodbye."
Just as he was about to leave, Ruan Wen quickly stopped him, "Master Xie, don't leave in such a hurry."
Seeing Xie Yuchun's avoidance, Ruan Wen did not dare to delay any longer and directly told him the reason for stopping him.
"The Ruan family has been in a lot of trouble recently, and it involves the relationship between the two branches. I want to call the people from the two branches together and explain everything clearly. I want to ask Master Xie to take Shuyan back to the Ruan family for me. I wonder if Master Xie agrees?"
Xie Yuchun's eyes flickered slightly and he showed helplessness on his face.
"I'm really sorry, Lord Ruan. Everyone in Xie's family listens to Shuyan. Lord Ruan, please go find Shuyan directly. Goodbye."
He bowed again, and without waiting for Ruan Wen to speak, he strode away.
The conflict between the first and second branches of the Ruan family will explode sooner or later. Instead of maintaining superficial peace, it is better to tear each other apart directly.
As for him, just wait and see.
Shuyan and her parents don't need him yet.
After leaving the palace, as Xie Yuchun got on the carriage, the coachman in front spoke.
"This morning, a group of people surrounded the mansion and wanted to see the lady. Later, the lady brought an old man in. After chatting, the crowd dispersed."
Xie Yuchun's eyes were slightly cold: "Do you know the reason?"
"They said they were going for the medicinal herbs. From what we have found out so far, they said that the Madam promised them the herbs."
There was a hint of tenderness in Xie Yuchun's eyes, and Shuyan still loved doing those good deeds.
It doesn’t matter, just let her do it and assign more people to look after it.
"Go to the North City. Oh, and tell her that Ruan Wen is looking for me."
"Yes!"
The carriage ran through the street, heading towards the north city at a very fast speed.
……
In the evening, when Ruan Shuyan was having dinner, she saw Chuntao running in quickly, holding the corner of her clothes, and said anxiously, "Miss, something bad has happened to my son-in-law."
Ruan Shuyan's expression froze: "Where is the person?"
"In Qingfeng Courtyard, the Thirteenth Princess also came with us. I heard that my son-in-law was attacked by someone, and the Thirteenth Princess happened to see him..."
Ruan Shuyan took a deep breath and said, "Mother Lai, go find the doctor. Chuntao, go get some more people. We will go to Qingfengyuan to pick them up."
Nalan Jinxiu's arrival made Ruan Shuyan feel a little uneasy. Why would a person in the palace meet the seriously injured Xie Yuchun?
Qingfengyuan.
Xie Linlin looked at the person on the bed, frowning, "Mom, my brother is so badly injured, don't we really need to ask a doctor to take a look? Her Royal Highness the Princess is still in the next room, if she knew about it, it would be bad, right?"
Old Madam Xie held the teacup and slowly skimmed the tea leaves on it: "Didn't he have someone bandage him? Besides, the princess has sent someone to invite the imperial physician. Can an ordinary doctor compare with the imperial physician?"
After hearing this, Xie Linlin was speechless. Ordinary doctors really could not compare with the imperial physician.
Just then, Ruan Shuyan stepped into Qingfeng Courtyard. The servant inside subconsciously wanted to stop her, but was pushed away by the people brought by Ruan Shuyan.
As soon as she entered the room, she smelled a strong smell of blood, but Ruan Shuyan didn't care at all. She just stared into the room and said, "Mother, I'm here to pick up my husband."
Madam Xie put down her teacup, her expression dim, "What a big scene! Those who know you will say you are here to pick someone up, while those who don't will think you are bandits who have entered the house and want to destroy my entire Xie family."
"Mother, your words are too serious. I was just too worried about my husband. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."
Seeing that Old Madam Xie was trying to evade her, Ruan Shuyan tilted her head slightly and said, "Someone, carry the son-in-law away."
Uncle!
This address made Old Madam Xie angry.
"This is the Xie family, who are you calling uncle?"
At this time, Chuntao came in with a few servants: "But the uncle is the uncle, old lady, are you confused?"
"How dare you! When the master is speaking, how can a servant like you interrupt? Is this how the Ruan family teaches the rules? Even a servant dares to disobey his superiors?"
Old Madam Xie's anger was directed at Chuntao, but her words also implicated the Ruan family.
Chun Tao's eyes widened, she turned her head and asked in surprise: "Miss, is this also our house?"
No one expected Chuntao to say such a thing, and everyone was silent in shock.
But soon, Ruan Shuyan broke the silence: "Chun Tao, don't talk nonsense, this is the Xie family's house."
Chun Tao showed disappointment: "I heard the old lady mention the Ruan family all the time, and I thought this place also belonged to the Ruan family, but it turns out it is not."
Madam Xie was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Ruan Shuyan, are you going to let the maidservant around you be so presumptuous?"
Looking at her angry face, Ruan Shuyan slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
"Mother has misunderstood. Chuntao is not unruly. She is just too straightforward. Mother is the old lady of the Xie family. Don't bother with a maid. Chuntao, take the son-in-law away quickly."
Chuntao responded, but as soon as she stepped forward, she was blocked by Madam Xie.
Madam Xie warned with a cold face: "Ruan Shuyan, this is the Xie family."
Ruan Shuyan lowered her eyes slightly: "Of course this is the Xie family, but they are all from the Ruan family, so it is only natural to call them uncle-in-law. What do you think, mother?"
Old Madam Xie was almost losing her composure because of Ruan Shuyan and Chuntao, but Ruan Shuyan always spoke with a look of respect on her face. She was neither humble nor arrogant, and she knew when to advance and retreat, so she couldn't find any fault with her.
