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

Ruan Shuyan raised the corners of her lips slightly, and asked instead of answering: "If it was me who had something to do today, would you still remain silent?"

Xie Yuchun's silence was the most appropriate for her, because there were some things she could say that Xie Chunyu could not.

A smile appeared on the man's face: "Of course not."

He changed the subject and mentioned the wedding: "Our wedding was delayed for some reason. Should we get married again?"

Ruan Shuyan thought about his words for a moment, then shook her head to reject his proposal.

"With the Emperor's blessing of marriage, the name of our marriage has already been spread, so there is no need to hold a wedding ceremony."

Xie Yuchun's eyes dimmed, and the smile on her face was a little stiff. Could the Emperor's marriage granting be the same as a wedding ceremony?

But soon, he returned to normal.

"Madam is right."

The sudden change of address made Ruan Shuyan's ears turn red, and she turned her head away somewhat uncomfortably.

But when Xie Yuchun looked at her, a smile reappeared on his face, and the relationship between them didn't seem so strange anymore.

As he was speaking, a servant came running over.

"Sir, the old lady asked... Madam to go to Qingfeng Courtyard to serve tea."

The two people present noticed the pause in his words.

Ruan Shuyan lowered her eyes as her fingertips stroked the back of her hand. It seemed that the people in the Xie residence did not quite approve of her status as a new bride.

Xie Yuchun's eyebrows turned cold, but when he saw Ruan Shuyan out of the corner of his eye, he didn't say anything.

"I will go with my wife."

Ruan Shuyan smiled and refused Xie Yuchun's offer to accompany her: "It's just a tea, I don't need my husband to accompany me."

She brought Mother Lai and her group into the courtyard where Old Madam Xie lived.

As soon as she entered the room, Ruan Shuyan bowed and saluted: "Daughter-in-law greets mother."

"Get up."

After an inaudible sound fell, Ruan Shuyan stood up and quickly glanced around.

There were dozens of people standing in the room. The old lady sitting at the top had a frown on her face, and there was a young girl next to her.

Ruan Shuyan knew that they were Old Madam Xie and her future sister-in-law.

Both of them looked very calm, but she could sense a hint of contempt and disdain in their calmness.

I'm afraid today's tea ceremony won't go so smoothly.

As she was thinking, a maid came forward with a tray and said, "Please serve tea to the bride."

Ruan Shuyan stretched out her hand, and when her fingertips touched the teacup, her eyes suddenly froze.

The teacup is very hot.

At this moment, the old woman started to urge: "Bride, it's time to serve tea."

Everyone in the room looked at Ruan Shuyan. She glanced at Old Madam Xie above her and slowly took out a handkerchief to cover the teacup.

"Serve tea to mother."

Everyone's eyes fell on her hand. Old Madam Xie frowned and did not reach out to take it.

"When offering tea or touching the teacup, you have to wrap it with a handkerchief. Is this how the Ruan family teaches their daughters manners? Or do you dislike the Xie family's things?"

Ruan Shuyan could feel that the temperature of the teacup was getting higher, but the scalding feeling was nothing compared to the anger that Old Madam Xie made her feel.

"Mother, your words are too serious. I am a member of the Xie family after I marry into the family. How can I dislike the place where I will live in the future? It's just that there have been a lot of things going on recently, and I always feel a burning sensation. I really can't touch this teacup. I hope mother can forgive me."

After saying this, she moved the teacup forward a little more.

Everyone could tell that Ruan Shuyan was talking nonsense, but her demeanor was so calm and indifferent that it was hard to find any fault with her.

Old Madam Xie's face was gloomy, and she did not reach out for the tea even though the teacup was right in front of her.

In fact, she would send someone to call Ruan Shuyan just to set rules for her.

A daughter of a merchant, who first experienced a marriage exchange and then stayed in the marquis's mansion for a night. How could such a person be worthy of her son?

As time passed, Ruan Shuyan's figure suddenly shook.

With a "bang", the teacup in her hand fell to the ground.

The boiling hot tea splashed everywhere. Before Ruan Shuyan could say anything, Old Madam Xie jumped up first.

"you you you……"

Madam Xie pointed at Ruan Shuyan and trembled all over.

At this moment, the girl nearby jumped out.

"You can't even serve tea properly. No wonder people say that the Ruan family is so careless in educating their daughters. But it's true. A merchant family can only raise a vixen like you who doesn't know the rules."

He also looked down on merchant families.

Ruan Shuyan frowned, and could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

"You are such a coquettish person who doesn't know the rules. Miss Xie, have you forgotten that I am married into the Xie family? As the old saying goes, a sister-in-law is like a mother. My mother is still alive, but I am also half of Miss Xie's mother. Is this how Miss Xie talks to her elders?"

The girl was stunned. She had never expected that Ruan Shuyan would suppress her based on seniority.

But the rules she had first proposed were now somewhat difficult to refute.

But soon, the girl reacted and pointed at Ruan Shuyan and said angrily: "What kind of elder are you? If I were you, I would have committed suicide long ago. How could you have the audacity to come to the Xie family? You have tarnished the reputation of my Xie family for nothing!"

Ruan Shuyan ignored her and turned to look at Madam Xie.

"Does mother think so too?"

No one expected that a tea ceremony would lead to such a stalemate.

Old Madam Xie stared at Ruan Shuyan and answered with silence.

Seeing this, Ruan Shuyan smiled, and the next moment, she fell down.

"Ahhh, little one, the lady has fainted."

Mother Lai at the door screamed, and without waiting for anyone in the room to get close, she ordered the dowry maid to go forward and completely separate the two sides.

The entire Qingfeng Courtyard was thrown into chaos by this sudden scene.

By the time Xie Yuchun received the message, Ruan Shuyan had already been sent back to her room.

"Ma'am, she..."

"Please be careful with your words, my lady is not worthy of your address as Madam."

Mother Lai stopped Xie Yuchun and kept him outside the house. She knew very well that it was not easy for her young lady to be here, and she would not let go of today's matter easily.

Otherwise, the lady will be bullied in the future.

Xie Yuchun looked embarrassed and wanted to ask the reason, but Lai Mama didn't say a word and just stopped him.

After a while, Xie Yuchun had no choice but to turn around and go to Qingfeng Courtyard.

Mother Lai watched his figure disappear and immediately went into the house.

"Miss, are you okay?"

In the room, Ruan Shuyan sat on the edge of the bed with an elegant and natural posture.

"nothing."

Mother Lai looked worried: "You fainted, how could you..."

"Just pretending to be faint, didn't Mrs. Lai see through it?"

Ruan Shuyan was very glad that it was Mother Lai who came with her dowry. Whether she was in the Hou Mansion in her previous life or married into the Xie family in this life, Mother Lai's reaction was incomparable to that of anyone else.

More importantly, she can trust Lai's mother.

Mother Lai's eyes were filled with heartache: "Miss, you have suffered."

Ruan Shuyan didn't feel any pain. Compared to others, she was already very lucky.

The conversation in the morning suddenly came to her mind. She closed her eyes and wondered how Xie Yuchun would handle it.
