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

The room fell into silence, even Madam Xie was silent.

Questioning the emperor is no small matter. If you are not careful, you will be accused of disrespect, and then the entire Xie family will be implicated.

Old Madam Xie did not like Ruan Shuyan, but she would not bring disaster to the Xie family because of Ruan Shuyan.

As time passed, Nalan Jinxiu's face became colder and colder, but Ruan Shuyan didn't care at all and just looked at her quietly.

Later, Madam Xie could no longer hold back and quickly broke the silence: "She just said it casually, Your Highness, don't take it seriously, why don't you move to Qingfeng Courtyard..."

"Did the princess ask you to speak?"

Nalan Jinxiu interrupted Madam Xie coldly. The murderous intent in her words made Madam Xie's face freeze. Although Nalan Jinxiu was a princess, she had feelings for Xie Yuchun, so she was respectful to Madam Xie.

This appearance now caught Madam Xie off guard.

"Your Highness..."

Nalan Jinxiu glared at Ruan Shuyan fiercely: "Don't think that you can act recklessly in front of me just because of the imperial decree. If I want to touch you, even my father will help me!"

Ruan Shuyan lowered her head slightly and didn't take Nalan Jinxiu's threat seriously at all.

Such an attitude made Nalan Jinxiu even more angry: "You, you..."

She pointed at Ruan Shuyan and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Bang bang bang!"

Nalan Jinxiu smashed the things around her. At this moment, another announcement came: "Eunuch Su is here."

Nalan Jinxiu's face changed, and the smashing and destroying movements froze instantly.

Su Sheng stepped into the room, looked at the mess on the floor and Xie Linlin kneeling on the ground, his expression slightly changed.

But soon, he put aside his thoughts and said respectfully: "Your Highness, it's time to return to the palace."

Nalan Jinxiu tightened her five fingers, letting her sharp nails dig into the tender flesh of her palm: "This princess still has things to deal with."

Su Sheng smiled slightly: "But the emperor misses your highness."

It was a very ordinary sentence, but everyone present heard a warning in it.

Nalan Jinxiu's expression changed several times, but she finally gritted her teeth and left, because Su Sheng's arrival made her realize that it would be no good for her to continue making trouble.

With Nalan Jinxiu's departure, the atmosphere in the room eased a lot.

Madam Xie covered her chest with her hands, her voice trembling: "How dare you, how dare you speak to the princess like that?"

Ruan Shuyan said calmly: "Did I say something wrong?"

“Is this a question of whether it is wrong or not?”

Madam Xie couldn't control her voice, her eyes full of fear: "That's the princess, you should know the difference between the monarch and the minister, how can you be so reckless?"

"Mother, do you really think that your daughter-in-law is acting recklessly?"

"Isn't it? Ruan Shuyan, you are going to drag the entire Xie family into an irretrievable situation!"

Madam Xie's voice became louder and louder, and she was just about to point at Ruan Shuyan's nose and call her a nuisance.

Ruan Shuyan looked at Madam Xie with a half-smile, and waited until she finished her words before she spoke: "Before you scold me, mother, why don't you think about the one kneeling there? Compared to her, what is my defiance today?"

She deliberately emphasized the word "contradiction", and when she saw that Madam Xie's face turned pale, the coldness in her eyes became even more intense.

When her parents came to visit, she was able to deal with them patiently because she knew how anxious they were, but that didn't mean anyone could act recklessly in front of her.

Especially some people who make bigger mistakes.

Thinking of this, Ruan Shuyan glanced at Xie Linlin and said, "Send the old lady and the young lady back to Qingfeng Courtyard."

"You, you are committing insubordination!"

"You can talk to my husband about this in detail after he comes back, but for now, please bear with me, mother."

Outside the door, Chuntao brought in several maids and forced Old Madam Xie and Xie Linlin to leave.

When the room became quiet, Ruan Shuyan sat down on the couch, feeling as if she had lost all her strength.

Mother Lai called two maids to clean up the mess, and seeing her listless appearance, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

"The young lady has just returned, and they keep coming to her house. This is really too much of a bully!"

Ruan Shuyan smiled lightly and comforted him: "Don't be angry, it's just a small matter. Oh, I'm too tired and want to rest."

Mother Lai immediately stopped what she was about to say and said distressedly, "Then take a rest quickly. I will ask them to move faster."

Ruan Shuyan nodded, and waited for Lai Mama to take their people away before she lay down on the bed.

She thought she would not be able to sleep after so many things happened, but she lost consciousness as soon as she touched the pillow. When she opened her eyes again, the room was dark.

Ruan Shuyan calmed down for a long time before she called out Chuntao.

"Squeak-"

The door opened, and the light of a candle dispelled the darkness in the room. Chuntao led people in and quickly brightened the room.

"Miss, would you like to have dinner right away, or wash up first and then have dinner?"

Ruan Shuyan stood up slowly: "Let's wash up first. Is there any accident in the mansion?"

After receiving a positive answer, Ruan Shuyan quickly washed up, and then Lai's mother handed her a letter.

"It was sent from the border. It's a letter from my son-in-law."

Ruan Shuyan opened it casually, and after a moment, the curve of her lips could no longer be suppressed.

After a little thought, Mother Lai guessed where the joy came from.

"But the uncle is coming back?"

Ruan Shuyan nodded and handed the letter to Mother Lai: "It will arrive in the capital in less than half a month, and my eldest brother and second brother are also back."

Mother Lai's eyes were filled with surprise: "The eldest and second young masters are back too? That's great. I will send the news back to the Ruan family right away."

Ruan Shuyan nodded, then remembered something and called out to Lai's mother, "I brought a lot of things back from the border this time. You can send them over as well."

Being interrupted during the day, Ruan Shuyan almost forgot about the gifts.

Mother Lai responded, took people to check all the things, and sent them to the Ruan family along with the news.

Let’s not talk about Ruan Shan and Bai’s joy for now, let’s just say that in Qingfeng Courtyard, when Old Madam Xie received the news at the gate of the mansion, her face instantly sank.

The maids and servants beside them exchanged glances, lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.

After a long while, Madam Xie relaxed her body and leaned back in her chair: "Let the second son and his wife come over."

A moment later, Xie Yurui and Chen Yuntang came over and said, "Greetings, mother. What do you want to talk to us about?"

Madam Xie looked at the two of them and spoke after a while: "Your sister-in-law is back."

Xie Yurui's eyes flickered: "But is there a problem with my sister-in-law?"

"Your eldest sister-in-law is devoted to her mother's family. Today, she even broke the rules in front of His Highness and almost caused the Xie family to be punished by the princess."

Madam Xie paused for a moment, and then spoke again with a face full of vicissitudes: "As masters of the Xie family, do you two have any way to persuade her? I don't ask her to treat the Xie family as the Ruan family, but at least don't think of dragging the Xie family down."
