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

"Miss, it's bad, the Imperial Guards have surrounded the Xie family!"

Chuntao ran through the rain and rushed into the yard at a very fast speed.

Ruan Shuyan was holding a cup of tea. When she heard her words, her fingertips trembled suddenly, and the teacup slipped and fell to the ground with a "bang".

"what happened?"

Chun Tao was panting, with a guilty look in her eyes: "Your servant, I don't know either. I just saw the imperial guards, so I came here to pass on the message."

Ruan Shuyan rubbed her brows and looked at Lai's mother beside her. The latter immediately understood and left, and when she came back she had already found out the news.

"It's about Qingfeng Tower. They said there are clues pointing to the Xie family, so, so..."

Mother Lai's face turned pale, and she couldn't hide the fear in her eyes when she spoke.

Even Ruan Shuyan was so shocked that she was speechless. Many court ministers died in the Qingfeng Tower incident. If the Xie family was really involved, then they would be completely finished.

It shouldn't be.

There was a welcoming banquet in the previous life, but there were not so many casualties, and the Xie family was not involved. Why is it different in this life?

Could it be that the marriage exchange between her and Ruan Shuhuan failed, which led to so many influences and changes?

"Miss, are you okay?"

Mother Lai's concerned voice rang in her ears, and Ruan Shuyan came back to her senses from her thoughts, her fingertips clenched tightly.

"I'm fine, Mother Lai, leave through the back door now and go find my mother."

"But……"

"Leave immediately."

Ruan Shuyan's eyes became fierce, and Lai's mother suddenly fell silent.

"...Yes, I will leave now."

Mother Lai bowed and trotted away.

Not long after, Madam Xie sent someone over.

Ruan Shuyan straightened her sleeves and rushed to Qingfengyuan in the rain.

"The daughter-in-law has met her mother."

Old Madam Xie stared at her closely, then suddenly raised her hand and smashed the teacup beside her.

Tea splashed everywhere, Ruan Shuyan lowered her eyes, and even though the corners of her clothes were stained by the tea, she did not react at all.

Mrs. Xie looked at this and couldn't help but cover her heart.

At this moment, Ruan Shuyan asked, "Is mother still angry?"

Beside him, Xie Yurui frowned: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Ruan Shuyan said calmly: "I am concerned about my mother."

Xie Yurui was so angry that he laughed: "How can this be called caring? You are clearly deliberately irritating me!"

"Even if I deliberately angered you, mother, how are you now?"

Ruan Shuyan's indifference caught everyone in the room off guard.

Her calm demeanor, as if she was staying out of the matter, made Old Madam Xie and Xie Yurui look gloomy, and they all fell silent.

Seeing this, Ruan Shuyan took the initiative to break the silence.

"Let's just assume that mother has calmed down. Now the Xie family is surrounded by the imperial guards, and my husband's situation is unclear. I hope mother and my second brother can stay in the mansion quietly and not do anything."

Xie Yurui said coldly: "Do you think we are in the way?"

Ruan Shuyan's fingertips moved slightly, and instead of answering, she asked, "So, second brother, do you have a way to save my husband and solve the dilemma here?"

Their eyes met, and Xie Yurui looked away unconsciously: "I have a few good friends who should be able to have a say in the court."

"What the Xie family wants now is not someone who can have a say in the court, but evidence to prove their innocence."

Ruan Shuyan directly pointed out the key point, and as Xie Yurui's expression changed, she took two steps back.

"I have already made the arrangements. I hope my mother and second brother won't do anything unnecessary."

Xie Yurui stood up instantly, but Ruan Shuyan ignored him and left after saying something.

The rain outside was getting heavier. Ruan Shuyan was walking in the rain with an umbrella. Suddenly she stopped and looked back.

"Chun Tao."

"The servant is here."

Ruan Shuyan lowered her voice, said a few words in Chuntao's ear, and then sent the person away.

On the other hand, news of Xie Yuchun's detention also spread in Beijing.

In Xie's mansion, Ruan Shuyan waved away the maid beside her, her heart filled with panic.

Things are different now.

Something went wrong at the welcoming banquet in the previous life, but the Xie family was not involved and Xie Yuchun was not imprisoned. Why did it turn out like this in this life?

What went wrong?

……

"This slave has met the prince."

Suddenly, Lu Yun's voice came from outside the door. Ruan Shuhuan immediately gathered her thoughts and just as she stood up, she saw the drunk Qi Xingzhou rushing into the room.

"Shuhua."

She was stunned for a moment, but still went forward to support the person.

"Sir, why are you so drunk?"

Qi Xingzhou grabbed her hand and smiled: "I'm happy."

Ruan Shuhuan's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked outside: "Luyun, go close the door."

Lu Yun responded and quickly closed the door.

Ruan Shuhuan struggled to get the man onto the bed, but before she could stand firmly, she was pulled over by Qi Xingzhou.

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Shh!"

Qi Xingzhou made a gesture to keep quiet, and Ruan Shuhuan immediately stopped talking.

After a brief silence, Qi Xingzhou whispered, "The Qingfeng Tower incident not only implicated many ministers, but also the reputation of our dynasty. Now Xie Yuchun has been dragged into it. Shuhua, he can't get out."

Ruan Shuhuan leaned on him without saying a word. She was thinking about what happened this morning.

This morning, she was supposed to go with Qi Xingzhou to the welcoming banquet, but just as she had packed up, Qi Xingzhou told her that they would not go to the welcoming banquet.

She was very confused at the time, but Qi Xingzhou was not going either, so she did not dare to lose her temper. Later, when something happened in Qingfeng Tower, Ruan Shuhuan felt relieved.

But now, she was panicking.

She asked tremblingly, "Prince, have you gotten involved in the affairs of Qingfeng Tower?"

Qi Xingzhou covered his eyes with his hands and did not answer Ruan Shuhuan's question.

As time passed, Ruan Shuhuan couldn't help but prop up her upper body and touch Qi Xingzhou's hand, and then she found that Qi Xingzhou had fallen asleep.

When she was feeling uneasy, Qi Xingzhou actually fell asleep!

Ruan Shuhuan opened her eyes wide, not being able to believe her eyes.

"Green rhyme, green rhyme!"

She shouted a few times and pushed Qi Xingzhou away with the help of Luyun.

"Are you okay?" Lu Yun's face was full of worry.

Ruan Shuhuan came back to her senses from her thoughts: "What can I do? You can do it for me... that's all. I'd better go back and prepare the car."

Here, Ruan Shuhuan went home in the rain.

On the other side, Mother Lai had already met Mrs. Bai. She was lucky enough to leave through the back door before the imperial guards completely surrounded the Xie family.

After explaining the situation, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Bai rubbed her fingertips for a long time and then rubbed her brows: "I will take care of this matter. You stay here first and remember not to show your head casually."

After Mother Lai left, Bai sat alone for a long time before sending someone to find Ruan Shan.

"Master, if this matter is not handled properly, not to mention the Xie family, I'm afraid we will also be implicated."

Ruan Shan shook his head: "Shuyan is married outside, the emperor will not involve us, but how is this matter related to Yuchun? Could it be..."
