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

Ruan Shuyan's expression suddenly froze, and then she heard Shang Yun say, "But I know exactly where the adults and I separated. If we look around there, we might be able to find the adults."

Just maybe?

Ruan Shuyan took a deep breath and said, "Let's go now."

Just then, Wuming pointed to the side: "What about that child?"

Ruan Shuyan took a look and said: "Open a room for him in this inn, and take him with us when we return."

"how long?"

"Half a month, just in case."

Ruan Shuyan touched the child's head and said, "Just wait for us here, we will be back soon."

The child said nothing, just stared at Shang Yun.

Even though Shang Yun considered himself to be calm, he still felt his scalp tingling when he was looked at by that child.

"You little kid, I've already told you that your grandfather is not..."

"Okay, let's talk about this after we get back."

Ruan Shuyan interrupted Shang Yun, gave him a warning look, and left the town at a very fast speed.

...

"boom!"

Xie Yuchun kicked an assassin away, glanced around, looked at the blood on the ground, and fell to the ground exhausted.

Just a moment ago, the last guard beside him was gone.

It looked like he was going to die here.

Xie Yuchun closed his eyes and saw Ruan Shuyan's figure in front of him. He didn't know how she would react when she received the news. Perhaps...

Hmm? He seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves?

He tried to make sense of his surroundings, but his mind was blurring.

"Drive, drive, drive..."

On the narrow dirt road, more than a dozen people came on horseback. The one running in the front was Ruan Shuyan. She looked at the blood on the ground, but her eyes were fixed on one person.

"Husband!"

She rushed forward and patted Xie Yuchun's face gently, trying to wake him up, but Xie Yuchun did not respond.

At this time, Wuming walked behind her and said, "Master Xie is seriously injured. Madam Xie, let us treat Master Xie's wound first."

Ruan Shuyan paused and said, "Yes, apply the medicine."

She was so anxious that she forgot such an important thing.

Ruan Shuyan made way and watched the secret guard treating Xie Yuchun's wound. She then turned her gaze to Shang Yun beside her.

"This shouldn't be the place where you separated, right?"

Shang Yun nodded: "Since the master was injured, he has been walking back."

It turned out to be the case.

Ruan Shuyan clenched her fingers. It was thanks to Xie Yuchun that he made this choice, otherwise it would be difficult for them to find him.

Putting aside her thoughts, Ruan Shuyan asked again, "Have you run into anyone from the Ruan family?"

"No."

These two decisive words made Ruan Shuyan look gloomy. Could it be that her elder brother has surpassed Xie Yuchun?

If that's the case, she'll have to find someone to send a message to her brother.

Not long after, the secret guard treated Xie Yuchun's wound.

Wuming led his men to clean up the surroundings: "Madam Xie, this place is too empty and not suitable for staying for long. We have to leave quickly."

Ruan Shuyan didn't understand these things, so she just listened to Wuming.

"Then leave."

Fortunately, they were not far from the town, and when it was completely dark, they rushed back to the town.

At the door of the inn, the child who was sitting during the daytime was sitting at the door. When he saw the group of people appearing, he immediately stood up.

When Ruan Shuyan saw him, there was a hint of smile in her eyes: "You kid, why don't you go and rest so late?

The child pointed at Shang Yun and said, "Bad guy."

Shang Yun: “…”

This kid is really persistent. How many times does it take for him to believe that his grandfather's death has nothing to do with him?

Ruan Shuyan touched his head.

On the other side, Wuming and the shopkeeper asked for the previous room.

By the time everything was arranged, half an hour had passed.

Ruan Shuyan went to check on Xie Yuchun and confirmed that he had no other problems before going to sleep next door.

As dawn approached, Xie Yuchun woke up from his coma. The darkness he saw made his heart beat violently, but he soon realized the turn of events.

He is still alive, so he was rescued?

Just then, the tightly closed door opened.

"My lord, you are awake!"

"Shang Yun?"

Xie Yuchun forced himself to sit up: "You saved me?"

Shang Yun stepped forward and lit a candle, then answered, "It was the Madam who brought the Emperor's secret guards here."

Xie Yuchun felt her heart tighten: "Why did the emperor let her come?"

"This... I don't know either, but your wife is next door. I will go and ask her to come over."

Seeing Shang Yun about to leave, Xie Yuchun stopped him: "It's not even daybreak yet, don't disturb her rest."

Shang Yun stopped and said, "It's my fault for not thinking it through, but Madam is very worried about you."

Xie Yuchun pinched his brows, his mind was not distracted by Shang Yun's words. After a brief moment of contemplation, he asked, "Where is the leader of the secret guards?"

"Squeak-"

The door was pushed open, and Wuming walked in: "Master Xie wants to see me?"

The candlelight was not bright, but the momentum of the two people staring at each other was not affected at all.

"Why did the emperor let her come here?" Xie Yuchun asked in a cold tone.

Wuming replied: "Because there are some things that are difficult for Madam Xie to handle in the capital."

Xie Yuchun's breathing paused for a moment: "So, who is the emperor going to deal with?"

“I don’t know, but those people have nothing to do with Madam Xie, so you don’t have to worry.”

Xie Yuchun was so angry that he laughed. He was not worried about this at all. He was afraid that the emperor would deal with the second branch of the Ruan family. Ruan Shuyan cared about her parents the most. If the emperor took action against the second branch, how uncomfortable would she feel?

He took a deep breath and asked in a cold voice: "What is the emperor planning?"

"Master Xie can write to the emperor about this, but before that, Master Xie must first deal with the matter in the north. If it is delayed any further, the emperor..."

Leaving an unfinished sentence, Wuming turned and left.

Shang Yun stepped forward and closed the door: "Sir, you..."

Xie Yuchun stared at the door for a long time and then closed his eyes. He needed to calm down now.

When it was dawn, Ruan Shuyan received the news and came over immediately.

"How do you feel now, my husband?"

"Not bad, ma'am, you've worked hard all the way here."

Xie Yuchun looked at the person in front of him, and a hint of heartache flashed in the depths of his eyes. As far as he knew, Ruan Shuyan always stayed in her boudoir, and the farthest she had ever gone out was to walk around the capital.

Now I have to run out to look for him, it’s so tiring.

Ruan Shuyan opened her mouth and she saw what Xie Yuchun was thinking.

After a long while, she sighed, "My husband, don't think I'm too delicate. I'm just in a hurry. It's not like I haven't been in a hurry before."

"I know."

Xie Yuchun nodded and responded in a gentle voice.

He didn't listen to what he said at all.

Ruan Shuyan was silent for a few moments, but did not dwell on the matter and instead asked about the assassin.

Xie Yuchun immediately said there was no need to worry: "I left in a hurry and didn't bring enough people with me, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of me. Wait a few days, my people will come, and they won't be able to cause any trouble."
