The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion
Chapter 37: Taking Advantage of the Lady
The sudden voice caused Ruan Shuyan and Nalan Jinxiu to turn their heads at the same time.
The next moment, Ruan Shuyan's pupils shrank, and she saw a tall horse carrying a person in pink clothes, rushing through the streets, and the crowds dispersed wherever they passed.
Suddenly, the person on the horse fell off. The horse was frightened again and rushed straight towards Ruan Shuyan and Nalan Jinxiu.
Danger!
Ruan Shuyan subconsciously tried to dodge, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Nalan Jinxiu out of the corner of her eye.
Princess Thirteen cannot get hurt here.
The thought flashed through her mind and Ruan Shuyan made a quick decision.
"Step aside!"
"what!"
Nalan Jinxiu screamed in shock. She was so frightened by the charging horses that she dared not move.
Now he was pushed and fell backwards.
However, Ruan Shuyan is more dangerous than her.
In just a blink of an eye, the horse's hoof was raised high and was about to fall on her. She rolled to the ground without thinking.
Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed by.
"Yu──"
The horse neighed, and in front of everyone's shocked gaze, a woman in red grabbed the reins and pulled the rushing horse back.
She has so much strength!
Ruan Shuyan was shocked. At this moment, the woman in red turned her head and asked with a smile, "Are you okay?"
She had an almond-shaped face and rosy cheeks, and although she looked pretty, her determined eyes made her look even more heroic and dashing.
Ruan Shuyan withdrew her gaze, stood up and bowed softly: "Thank you for saving my life, Miss. Shuyan is fine, but I don't know what your name is?"
The woman in red waved her hand: "It's just a small favor, it can't be considered a life-saving favor. As for my name, my name is..."
"Tang Ruyun!"
A loud shout came from the side, replacing the answer from the woman in red.
Ruan Shuyan was slightly surprised. Is this Tang Ruyun the one she had heard of?
In her previous life, a woman named Tang Ruyun was named Princess Ning'an because she saved the empress dowager.
Who would have thought that later, in order to save a scholar, she actually broke her legs from kneeling.
Would such a brave woman really do such a stupid thing for a scholar?
On the other side, Nalan Jinxiu limped over, with murderous look in her eyes.
"Tang Ruyun, did you deliberately wait for me to make a fool of myself before coming out?"
Tang Ruyun glanced at her and said unhappily, "I, Tang Ruyun, would never do such an indecent thing."
Nalan Jinxiu glared at her: "Everyone knows that you like Xie Lang? You are obviously jealous of this princess!"
Ruan Shuyan: “…”
How come a disagreement involves her husband?
But she didn't care. She smiled slightly and walked around the two of them to the right.
Before Tang Ruyun pulled the reins, a man in pink fell off the horse's back and was now lying motionless on the ground.
Nalan Jinxiu and Tang Ruyun were still arguing in the back. Ruan Shuyan walked over to the man and asked, "Are you still alive?"
The man in pink didn't move or say anything.
Ruan Shuyan waited for a moment, then reached out and touched him: "You..."
"Take your hands away."
A low voice suddenly sounded, and Ruan Shuyan's hands froze. The person in pink turned out to be a man.
At this time, the person in pink raised his head, revealing a face that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female, with red lips and white teeth.
Ruan Shuyan's astonishment turned into surprise. This man was so handsome.
The commotion here attracted Tang Ruyun and Nalan Jinxiu.
The next moment, Tang Ruyun asked in surprise: "Whose family are you from?"
Ruan Shuyan clearly saw that the corner of the pink-clothed man's mouth twitched violently.
"Who do you say is Miss?"
Tang Ruyun blinked and stared at the pink-dressed man: "Are you a man?"
The pink-dressed man raised his eyebrows: "When..."
Before he could even utter the word "yes", he was stopped by Tang Ruyun's next sentence.
"Your face doesn't look like it belongs to a man. Are you a woman dressed as a man?"
The corners of Ruan Shuyan's mouth trembled slightly, and an indescribable uneasiness surged in her heart. She stepped back without thinking.
Almost at the same time, the man in pink and Tang Ruyun started fighting.
Nalan Jinxiu looked at her and snorted coldly, "Rude! Not like a woman at all."
Ruan Shuyan glanced at her and said deliberately: "If she behaved like a woman, Your Highness would be in danger today."
Nalan Jinxiu's eyes instantly fell on her face: "What nonsense are you talking about? This princess has guards around her, how can it be her turn to protect her?"
"Have your Highness's guards reacted?"
This rhetorical question made Nalan Jinxiu speechless.
On the other side, the man in pink and Tang Ruyun exchanged hands and moved away from the Ruan family's shop little by little.
Some brave passers-by actually gathered around to watch the fun.
In response, Ruan Shuyan could only shake her head, apologized to Nalan Jinxiu, and left.
Ruan Shuyan, who was only concerned about leaving, didn't know that Nalan Jinxiu had been staring at her figure until she got on the carriage, then he looked away with a conflicted look on his face.
This Ruan Shuyan, it seems, isn’t as… terrible as she thought?
In the carriage, Ruan Shuyan suddenly sneezed, which immediately attracted Lai Mama and Chuntao to look at her with concern.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Ruan Shuyan touched the tip of her nose and said, "It's okay, Mother Lai, prepare a generous gift and send it to the Tang family later."
Mother Lai understood: "I understand."
Chun Tao looked tangled: "Miss, you just..."
"It's fine."
Ruan Shuyan patted the back of her hand and her eyes fell on the car window that was slightly opened.
In her previous life, she had only heard of Tang Ruyun's reputation but had never seen him in person. She didn't expect that an accident would happen to him in this life.
Tang Ruyun is not Princess Ning'an yet, which means she has not yet encountered a situation where the Queen Mother is in trouble.
There has been no response from Prince Duan's Mansion yet. Is it possible for her to meet with the Queen Mother in advance and make her a supporter of the Ruan family?
Ruan Shuyan closed her eyes and buried the thought deep in her heart.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
The emperor's eyes were cold: "Guan Zhongyu, what I want is the result."
Guan Zhongyu's forehead was soaked with sweat: "I understand, but this matter is really, is..."
He stammered and couldn't utter the rest of the words.
At this moment, Su Sheng came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Xie Jia Yuchun is here."
The emperor hummed: "Announce."
Xie Yuchun strode into the imperial study and saluted without looking away: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"No gift."
Xie Yuchun stood up and straightened his sleeves: "I wonder if the emperor has any instructions for me?"
He came straight to the point, and the emperor naturally did not beat around the bush and directly stated that it was about the North City issue.
Xie Yuchun had seen Guan Zhongyu as soon as he entered the door, and was not surprised at the emperor's words, but he did not respond and let time pass.
The emperor frowned and said unhappily, "Thank you, my dear, for keeping silent, but do you have other ideas in your mind?"
Xie Yuchun replied respectfully: "I have no other ideas, it's just that the matter of North City——"
He looked embarrassed and said, "I am also benefiting from your help."
