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

The room fell into silence.

After a long time, Ruan Shuyan sighed and said that it was Yang Ning who caused the trouble.

To put it bluntly, something happened behind the scenes that forced them to make other choices.

Thinking of this, she turned to look at Xie Yuchun: "Husband, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't stay here."

Xie Yuchun nodded: "Go ahead, I'll come find you later."

After Ruan Shuyan left, she just went back to her room.

About an hour later, Xie Yuchun pushed the door open and walked in, his face full of solemnity.

Ruan Shuyan poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "But is it difficult to handle?"

Xie Yuchun took it and fell into deep thought while holding the teacup: "It's not difficult."

"If it's not difficult, why do you look so sad, my husband?"

Xie Yuchun sighed: "Because it's easy to make any arrangements here, the difficulty lies after returning to Beijing."

Ruan Shuyan's heart moved: "Husband is afraid that the emperor will find out about the problem and bring trouble upon himself?"

Stroking the edge of the teacup, Xie Yuchun raised another question: "Yang Ning may not agree to this favor."

Ruan Shuyan raised her eyebrows: "Husband is afraid that Yang Ning will blame you for it?"

"Given his personality, he might do that. If the capital and the border join forces, I'm afraid we will end up in a bad situation."

This is indeed a problem, human nature cannot be gambled on.

Ruan Shuyan fell into deep thought, and after a long while she spoke: "Then Yang Ning will have to accept this favor."

After hearing this, Xie Yuchun was surprised: "What can I do, Madam?"

Ruan Shuyan lowered her voice and talked to Xie Yuchun for a while, who frowned.

"Is this method..."

"Just do as I say. Trust me, husband. I won't suffer any loss."

Hearing this, Xie Yuchun rubbed his brows and said, "I understand. Thank you for your help, Madam."

His eyes were gentle, and his focused gaze made Ruan Shuyan feel uncomfortable and she looked away.

"No, you're welcome."

The next day, after Ruan Shuyan showed up, she told Huo Xiao about returning to Beijing early.

"Aren't you waiting to thank Master?"

Ruan Shuyan said calmly: "From the beginning, I never said I would wait for him."

After a pause, Ruan Shuyan continued, "Besides, the business in the capital also needs someone to take charge, but as for my husband, I'll have to trouble my second brother and eldest brother for help."

Huo Xiao smiled and said, "If big brother heard that you put him behind, he would be unhappy."

Ruan Shuyan curved her eyebrows and said, "You have to endure it. Who told him to hide and not come out?"

The two were chatting when a child ran over.

Ruan Shuyan looked carefully and found that it was the child who sold her the basket before. The smile in her eyes deepened.

This child comes here often these days.

"Erlang, why are you here again?"

Erlang blinked and held up a purse: "My mother asked me to give the young lady a purse."

When her fingertips brushed across the purse, Ruan Shuyan was surprised by the delicate pattern.

"Did your mother embroider this purse?"

Erlang pursed his lips and smiled shyly: "My mother is very capable, she can do everything."

Thinking of the basket from before, Ruan Shuyan nodded in agreement: "Erlang's mother is indeed very powerful."

As she spoke, Ruan Shuyan suddenly had an idea: "I want to see your mother, is that ok?"

Erlang tilted his head back and scratched his cheek with his fingers: "I, I have to go ask my mother."

Ruan Shuyan touched his head and said, "How about going now? I will be leaving tomorrow, and today is the only day I can see Erlang's mother."

"Well, I'll go over now."

Having said that, Jilang turned and ran.

Just then, the others who had been listening nearby became anxious.

"Ms. Ruan, are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Why so fast? We still have a lot of things to give you."

"You, are you still here to collect your things?"

A group of people spoke one after another.

Ruan Shuyan listened, her lips slightly curled up, and when the noise around her became quieter, she spoke: "I will go back tomorrow because of something at home. As for the things here, I will open a shop in Shuiyun City, just over the South City Gate. If you have anything, just send it over, the more the better!"

After hearing this, everyone around felt relieved.

"Well, Miss Ruan, have a safe journey."

Ruan Shuyan smiled and said, "Thank you."

Soon, the crowd dispersed.

Ruan Shuyan chatted with Huo Xiao for a few words, and then Erlang ran over.

"Miss, my mother said she would come over in a while."

"Erlang, lead the way for me. I'm going to see your mother."

Ruan Shuyan was going to take the person away, so how could she let him come by himself?

After saying this, she took Jilang's hand and left.

Not long after, she saw a pale, thin woman.

"Mrs. Jiang has met the young lady."

The woman stepped forward and saluted. Her movements were measured and graceful, with an indescribable elegance.

This person cannot be raised in the border area.

A sentence flashed through Ruan Shuyan's mind, and she bowed softly: "Mrs. Jiang."

Jiang was stunned for a moment: "I don't deserve to be called Madam. I am just an ordinary woman."

"You deserve it, and anybody deserves it."

Ruan Shuyan's words surprised Jiang, but she quickly came back to her senses.

"Please come inside and sit down."

Ruan Shuyan nodded and followed Jiang into the house.

The room was very empty, with only a table and a bed in the corner facing each other.

Jiang said, "I don't have anything good to offer you here. If you don't mind, please have a bowl of water."

Ruan Shuyan lowered her eyes and noticed that there was a bowl on the table. The edge of the bowl had cracked, but the water inside was faintly misty.

It's hot water.

"Thank you ma'am for the treat."

The two chatted for a while, and Ruan Shuyan said her purpose: "I would like to ask Madam to go back to Beijing with me. With Madam's ability, she will definitely be able to..."

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Jiang.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I will not return to Beijing."

Ruan Shuyan was stunned. She wanted to ask the reason, but the words were on the tip of her tongue and she couldn't say them.

After a while, Ruan Shuyan sighed and said, "If Madam changes her mind in the future, she can go to the Ruan family shop at the South City Gate. They will make arrangements for Madam."

Jiang smiled but said nothing.

Seeing this, Ruan Shuyan did not stay any longer.

The next day, Ruan Shuyan's carriage left Shuiyun City and headed south along the official road.

However, before he had gone far, he was stopped by a group of masked men.

"Is the person in the carriage Xie Yuchun's wife?"

Ruan Shuyan's heart moved, and there was a hint of smile in her eyes when she raised her eyes.

She lifted the curtain beside the window and looked at the people who were stopping the car: "What advice do you have?"

"It's not really teaching. I just want to ask Madam to get off the carriage. I want to talk to Xie Yuchun about something."

Ruan Shuyan got off the carriage generously and said with a smile: "I can make decisions on many things, so there is no need to look for him specifically."
