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

Ruan Shuyan nodded slightly, but the worry between her brows did not disappear.

Can Xie Yuchun's men really arrive before the assassin?

Two days passed quickly and Xie Yuchun's injuries gradually recovered, and his complexion looked much better.

At the same time, news came from the capital that the furious emperor executed three ministers.

At that time, Ruan Shuyan had just delivered the news to Jingcheng and Ruan Mingcheng. After learning about this, she immediately went to find Xie Yuchun.

"It is said that it was because of corruption, but corruption... shouldn't be enough to make the emperor so angry."

Three ministers were beheaded, and the families behind them certainly did not have a good end either. With so many people involved, the crime of corruption should not be so severe.

Xie Yuchun smiled, but if you look closely, you can see that there is no smile in his eyes.

"Of course it's not because of corruption. I guess those people are related to the things happening in the north."

Ruan Shuyan was shocked: "Hasn't Yang Ning been guarding the north? How could he allow the ministers in the capital to be involved with the people over there?"

Speaking of this, Ruan Shuyan brought up another matter: "Yang Ning is in the capital, why doesn't the emperor let Yang Ning return to the north?"

This question had been echoing in Ruan Shuyan's mind for a long time, but she didn't ask it until today.

Xie Yuchun said in a deep voice: "Since he returned to the capital, he no longer has the right to leave at will."

Ruan Shuyan's pupils shrank: "Too powerful to shock the master?"

The two looked at each other, and Ruan Shuyan looked away.

After a brief silence, she said softly, "So this is the problem Yang Ning left for the emperor?"

"You can say that."

Ruan Shuyan narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't know much about the court's affairs, but she could hear the ambiguity in this sentence.

After a brief silence, she asked Xie Yuchun about his future plans, but as soon as she finished speaking, Xie Yuchun asked the question back to her.

"Are you going to come with me or go back to the capital?"

Ruan Shuyan frowned: "Of course I will go back..."

Before she finished speaking, Ruan Shuyan suddenly realized something: "My husband wants me to go to the north?"

Xie Yuchun coughed lightly and said, "I heard that your second brother did something in the north. I thought that since you have been staying in the capital, you might not know the details. Why don't you go over and take a look?"

Ruan Shuyan said nothing, just looked at him quietly.

After a long time, Xie Yuchun looked away: "If..."

"can."

Xie Yuchun was startled: "Do you really want to go with me?"

Ruan Shuyan said calmly: "I just went to check out the business in the north."

The implication was that she was not doing this for Xie Yuchun.

"Okay, just go check out the business."

The next day, Xie Yuchun's men came to the inn.

Ruan Shuyan handed the old doctor's grandson to Wuming, asking him to send him to the residence of the second branch of the Ruan family, and then went north with Xie Yuchun.

I don’t know if it was influenced by the capital, but the assassin suddenly disappeared, and the group reached the north very smoothly.

"Shuiyun City is ahead. Your second brother should be in Shuiyun City. Once things here are settled, I will take you to find your second brother."

Listening to Xie Yuchun's words, Ruan Shuyan nodded without saying anything.

Unexpectedly, that afternoon, Huo Xiao appeared in front of Ruan Shuyan.

"Why are you here too?"

Ruan Shuyan opened her eyes slightly and said, "How did Second Brother know I was here? Wait, too? Is it Big Brother? Big Brother is with you?"

Her reaction was so quick that Huo Xiao was very surprised.

But soon, Huo Xiao came back to his senses from his surprise: "Big brother is indeed with me."

Ruan Shuyan frowned. After she found Xie Yuchun, she sent a message to Ruan Mingcheng, asking him to turn back to the capital.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Mingcheng not only did not go back, but came to Shuiyun City instead.

"Brother, come here, but do you have something to take care of?"

Huo Xiao shook his head slightly: "He hasn't said anything yet, but he has been walking around the city recently. I guess he is thinking about something."

Hearing this, Ruan Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief and then wanted to go see Ruan Mingcheng.

But as soon as he said this, Huo Xiao rejected him.

"My eldest brother said that he won't see you until he leaves, and he won't let you go to look for him."

Ruan Shuyan was startled: "Why?"

"That's what my brother told me to do."

Ruan Shuyan: “…”

How come she didn't know when her second brother became so obedient?

However, she couldn't help but listen to Huo Xiao's words. As her thoughts turned, an idea suddenly came to her mind.

"Don't worry, I won't go see him until he leaves."

Huo Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at her face with scrutiny. He had some vague guesses, but he didn't say much. He chatted with Ruan Shuyan for a few words and then left.

In the evening, Ruan Shuyan told the story of Ruan Mingcheng.

"I would like to ask my husband to meet my eldest brother."

Xie Yuchun naturally would not refuse, but considering the current situation, he said he would go over later.

"Three days, at the latest three days will be enough."

Ruan Shuyan naturally focused on Xie Yuchun's time. After sending him away, she lay down to rest.

The next day, she walked around Shuiyun City with Huo Xiao and quickly found out what was for sale there, but what interested her most were the sheep inside and outside the city.

"Although it is bitterly cold here, many places are very suitable for raising sheep. The mutton is very delicious and not very smelly."

Huo Xiao's words brought some joy to Ruan Shuyan's face.

"Second brother, let's find more people to raise sheep."

Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Sheep are not like chickens and ducks. If you don't raise them well, it's easy to lose money."

Ruan Shuyan curved her eyebrows and said, "What business doesn't lose money? What we need to do now is to lay a good foundation. Once everything is on the right track, we won't have to worry about anything else. Besides, mutton is very expensive in Beijing and the south."

This is true.

Huo Xiao showed his approval, and then told Ruan Shuyan: "I have found someone to take care of him."

Ruan Shuyan looked at him, a little helpless: "So, second brother was teasing me on purpose just now?"

"Look at what you said. Can't I test my sister?"

"Whether it's a test or not, Second Brother knows it clearly."

The two walked along the street while chatting.

Just then, a child came over carrying a basket. He was jumping up and down, and the basket in his hand was swinging back and forth.

When passing by Ruan Shuyan, the basket hit Ruan Shuyan's arm heavily due to the excessive movement.

"oops!"

Ruan Shuyan felt pain and subconsciously covered her arm.

Huo Xiao was startled and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

The child who ran over also noticed something unusual and subconsciously stopped, with panic showing on his face.

"that……"

"I am fine."

Ruan Shuyan let go of her hand, whispered back, and looked at the panicked child: "Don't be afraid, I'm fine."

The child heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "No, I'm glad you're okay. I'm sorry."

"fine."

Ruan Shuyan smiled at him, her eyes turned and suddenly stopped: "Who made that little basket of yours?"
