"Small……"

Chuntao, who was standing aside, was about to speak, but suddenly realized something and covered her mouth again.

She couldn't disturb the young lady and her husband.

Thinking of this, Chuntao bowed slightly, turned around and ran away.

Ruan Shuyan noticed her behavior and almost laughed out of anger. Chuntao was usually not smart, but today she jumped out.

"Xie Yuchun, let go!"

She called out Xie Yuchun's full name and surname. Xie Yuchun's body stiffened for a moment, and then he slowly let go of her hand in confusion.

"Husband, ma'am?"

Their eyes met. Ruan Shuyan was about to speak when she saw Xie Yuchun lower his head. When she looked again, he had fallen asleep.

This……

Ruan Shuyan was shocked and had no choice but to push the man away.

Outside the door, Chuntao was sitting on the steps with her chin in her hand, smiling as she thought about the situation of the young lady and her son-in-law. Suddenly, a hand patted her shoulder, which startled her.

"Who...Miss? Why are you out?"

Chuntao subconsciously glanced into the room.

Ruan Shuyan looked at her quietly, and Chuntao felt guilty, so she asked, "Who do you belong to?"

"Of course I belong to the young lady."

"Since you are mine, why do you favor others?"

Chun Tao shrank her neck and said, "I didn't mean to do that. Madam said that there has been no news since the young lady and her husband got married, and she was worried, so..."

Ruan Shuyan didn't expect that Chuntao's behavior was actually related to the Bai family.

After a brief silence, Ruan Shuyan rubbed her brows and asked, "Besides this, did you say anything else?"

"No, but Miss, if the situation between you and your son-in-law is really known to the lady, then..."

Chuntao looked bitter, and the words she said halfway also made Ruan Shuyan's expression change.

Since entering the Xie family, she and Xie Yuchun have slept separately and have never consummated their marriage. If her mother knew about this, wouldn't it be...

"Don't let anyone know about this, especially my parents. Don't let them know a single thing."

Chuntao responded in a low voice, then stood there with her head lowered, very docile and respectful.

However, when Ruan Shuyan thought of her "escape" just now, she couldn't help but glare at her.

"Ask the kitchen to prepare another bowl of hangover soup, and you take someone to look after my son-in-law."

After giving instructions to Chuntao, Ruan Shuyan went to the yard next door.

Not long after, Lai's mother came back and said that the post had been delivered to the Tang family.

"Miss Tang said she would come tomorrow."

Ruan Shuyan curved her eyebrows and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in three days, Mother Lai, our Ruan family will become famous in the capital."

Thinking of that scene, Lai's mother also laughed: "The Ruan family has always had a good reputation."

“Now it’s on a higher level.”

As she spoke, Ruan Shuyan glanced up at the sky and discovered that a dark cloud had floated over the horizon.

The sun was blocked, making it much darker outside.

Mother Lai followed her gaze and said, "It should be raining, but it's no problem as long as it doesn't rain on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

That afternoon, a heavy rain fell in the capital.

Ruan Shuyan leaned against the door, quietly looking at the rain outside.

At this moment, a voice sounded from behind.

"Why am I here?"

Ruan Shuyan turned around and saw Xie Yuchun rubbing his eyebrows and walking towards her slowly.

The man looked tired, but more confused.

He doesn't remember?

Ruan Shuyan's eyes moved slightly, and she told him about his drunkenness: "This is the second time. If your husband's alcohol tolerance is not appropriate, you should try not to drink outside. It is easy to get into trouble."

She spoke directly, leaving Xie Yuchun speechless.

After a while, Xie Yuchun whispered, "I know."

As they were talking, Lai's mother and Chuntao came in holding umbrellas.

"Hello, young lady, uncle."

Ruan Shuyan retracted her gaze: "How's it going over there?"

"Everything went well. We are just waiting for Miss."

Xie Yuchun was confused and couldn't help asking, "What are you talking about?"

Ruan Shuyan said: "We are discussing some arrangements for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Hearing the word "Mid-Autumn Festival", Xie Yuchun immediately said, "There will be a banquet in the palace on that day."

Ruan Shuyan curved her eyebrows and said, "I will accompany my husband there then."

After a brief look, Xie Yuchun coughed lightly and said, "There have been many things going on in the court recently. I may not be able to return home in the next few days."

Ruan Shuyan understood: "I will pay attention to the situation in the mansion."

"Ah."

Xie Yuchun paused for a moment, then continued, "I have already prepared my mother's birthday gift, which should arrive after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Ruan Shuyan was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "I have also prepared a gift for my mother, we will give it to her together when the time comes."

Xie Yuchun seemed to want to say something but hesitated. In the end, he said nothing.

In the evening, Xie Yuchun was called away just after dinner.

Mother Lai watched him disappear and whispered, "I heard that the Master seems to be transferred to the Ministry of Justice."

Ruan Shuyan's eyebrows jumped. In her previous life, Xie Yuchun also worked in the Ministry of Justice, but she remembered that it was at the end of the year, and the imperial edict was issued very suddenly.

For this reason, Qi Xingzhou kept talking about it in the Marquis' Mansion for several days.

Why did the news suddenly come out in this life?

Ruan Shuyan remained silent, which made Lai's mother worried: "Miss, is there something wrong with this matter?"

"Official transfers are always initiated by the emperor. There is no news from the court yet. Why is it spreading outside?"

As soon as Ruan Shuyan said this, Lai's mother also reacted and her face suddenly changed.

"This...should someone go check it out?"

Ruan Shuyan shook her head and rejected Mother Lai's proposal: "No need, the news has already spread, the key now is to reduce the impact, but before that, I have to ask my husband's opinion first."

"Mother Lai, go over and ask tomorrow morning."

"The servant understands."

The next day, Mother Lai waited outside Xie Yuchun's yard early and told her what happened last night.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yuchun told her: "Don't worry about it, just let it spread."

Mother Lai showed some surprise on her face, but since Xie Yuchun had spoken, she didn't say much. She just bowed slightly and left with the reply.

In Tingzhu Garden, Ruan Shuyan had just stood up and after receiving Xie Yuchun's reply, she put the matter aside.

At noon, Tang Ruyun came over with her maid.

"I was very surprised to receive your post yesterday."

Ruan Shuyan led the person to sit down, quite puzzled: "Why are you surprised?"

"It is said in the capital that the wife of the Xie family does not want to show her face and make friends with other noble ladies. She is too proud..."

Halfway through his speech, Tang Ruyun suddenly fell silent.

Ruan Shuyan looked at her and couldn't help but curl her eyebrows: "I know what they mean."

Tang Ruyun's face was filled with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I just can't control my mouth."

"Ms. Tang is being straightforward."

The two chatted for a while, and then Ruan Shuyan got down to business.

"I would like to ask Miss Tang to deliver a gift on my behalf."
