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

Ruan Shuyan spoke very impolitely, but the calmness in her tone made Qi Xingzhou even more angry.

"Ruan Shuyan, you..."

"She is the new bride of the Xie family. Your Highness should not address her by name, otherwise I will think that your Highness has bad intentions."

Xie Yuchun warned him. He no longer blocked Ruan Shuyan's view, but turned his body slightly to the side, showing a protective attitude.

He could ask Ruan Shuyan to come forward, but if some people didn't know what was going on, it would be his turn to take action.

As the two sides confronted each other, the atmosphere gradually became more tense. The servants from the Xie family and the Marquis' Mansion also gathered around and showed signs of preparing to fight.

At this moment, the door of the Ruan family suddenly opened, and a group of people walked out, led by Mrs. Bai of the Ruan family.

She looked around, as if she didn't see the conflict, and said with a smile: "Today the two new wives of the Ruan family are returning home, which is a big happy event. The two sons-in-law should go inside quickly. It's too sunny outside, don't hurt yourselves."

The last few words contained a hidden reminder. After Xie Yuchun and Qi Xingzhou understood it, they turned sideways and saluted at the same time.

"Meet mother (Madam)."

"Excuse me, my two uncles-in-law. Please come in."

At this time, Xie Yuchun said, "Don't rush in. The Xie family has prepared a return gift. Please ask mother to have someone pack it up."

Bai looked surprised, but quickly reacted and sent someone to move the things.

Qi Xingzhou watched from the side with a dark face. The Marquis' Mansion also prepared a return gift, but compared with the Xie family's, it was not worth mentioning at all.

Bai saw it all, but said nothing. She just smiled and led the group into the hall.

Before long, Qi Xingzhou became impatient.

Ruan Shuhuan looked at this and immediately left on the pretext of looking for her mother.

The two walked out of the hall side by side. Qi Xingzhou's arm was on Ruan Shuhuan's shoulder. Their conversation and laughter could be heard from afar.

Everyone looked at it, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Bai sighed and said, "You all should leave."

Most of the servants in the hall left, and Bai showed gratitude: "Thank you for your help in the previous marriage exchange."

Xie Yuchun was startled, and hurriedly said, "You're welcome," "Shuyan is my wife, and she shares my glory and disgrace. This is my duty."

The words "share honor and disgrace" made Bai's eyebrows curved. She liked Xie Yuchun's character and attitude very much.

Thinking of Qi Xingzhou's frivolous attitude towards Ruan Shuhuan just now, Bai felt a little scared. She didn't dare to imagine how much injustice Shuyan would suffer if she was trapped in the Marquis' Mansion.

Fortunately, Yan'er reacted and found a way for her to break the impasse.

The more she thought about it, the more satisfied Bai became with Xie Yuchun, and her tone became more appreciative.

Ruan Shuyan saw this and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.

Xie Yuchun is indeed better than Qi Xingzhou.

No, it should be said that Qi Xingzhou could not compare with Xie Yuchun at all. At least when it came to protection, Xie Yuchun made her satisfied.

Putting aside her thoughts, Ruan Shuyan asked the other people in the mansion: "Only mother is here, but is there any trouble in the mansion?"

She and Ruan Shuhuan returned home on the same day. No matter what, Bai should not be the only one in the hall.

Seeing her straightforward question, Bai couldn't help but glance at Xie Yuchun, and then gently waved her hand: "It's not a trouble, but there are some things that need him to deal with."

"I see. When will daddy be back?"

Ruan Shuyan pretended to be dazed, and her tone of voice was somewhat chatty.

However, Bai knew her daughter very well. As soon as she heard it, she knew that Ruan Shuyan did not believe her words, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"He will be back for lunch at noon. Would you two like to go and rest for a while? I had someone clean up Tingfeng Pavilion yesterday."

Mother, do you have something to deal with?

Ruan Shuyan pursed her lips slightly and turned her head to look at Xie Yuchun: "Do you want to rest, husband?"

Xie Yuchun also felt something was wrong, but he didn't know the situation of the Ruan family, so he simply said, "I will listen to my wife."

Ruan Shuyan felt a little uncomfortable with his words and couldn't help but cough lightly: "Then let's go back to Tingfeng Pavilion and sit down. Mother, we'll go over first."

Bai nodded: "Go ahead."

Seeing this, Xie Yuchun stood up and said, "Mother, I'm sorry."

He bowed and waited for Ruan Shuyan to pass before following.

Bai saw their behavior and felt more and more satisfied.

As expected of the number one scholar, Xie Yuchun's demeanor could never be matched by Qi Xingzhou.

Thinking of the Marquis' Mansion, a trace of disgust flashed in Bai's eyes. She had disgusted the Ruan family, and yet she still wanted their money. How shameless!

On the other side, Ruan Shuyan was leading Xie Yuchun towards Tingfeng Pavilion.

"This is my boudoir."

Tingfeng Pavilion is not big. As soon as you enter, you can see a table full of tea and snacks, with a screen behind it.

Beyond the screen, there was a bed with a soft couch next to it, and nothing else.

Xie Yuchun retracted his scrutiny and said with a smile, "The layout here is excellent."

Every detail in the house is very ordinary, but it exudes a sense of luxury in its low-key style, and those who don’t know the value of things can’t tell at all.

Ruan Shuyan curved her eyebrows and asked someone to move the screen away: "My mother said that a girl's boudoir doesn't need too many decorations, as long as it is comfortable to live in."

Xie Yuchun agreed: "Comfort is indeed more important than decoration."

The two chatted and soon it was noon.

"Sir, please move to the hall."

The two walked towards the hall and saw that only Bai was there.

"Mother, isn't father back yet?"

Ruan Shuyan couldn't help but ask.

Bai said, "Your father's problem has not been resolved yet, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back today."

Before she finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door.

"Who said I can't come back? My daughter's coming home is a big deal, how can I not come back?"

A tall man stepped into the hall. It was Ruan Shuyan's father, Ruan Shan.

He glanced at Xie Yuchun, then looked at Ruan Shuyan lovingly, and asked directly, "How have you been these past few days? Have you been bullied?"

As Xie Yuchun stood up to greet him, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face because of these words.

Ruan Shuyan coughed lightly: "No, my husband treats me very well."

Ruan Shan snorted: "If it's not good for you, you can just come back to the Ruan family. My Ruan family is still..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Mrs. Bai suddenly started coughing, and Ruan Shan immediately stopped talking.

At the same time, two more figures appeared at the door.

Ruan Mingcheng looked him up and down as soon as he entered the room: "You look good, Huo Xiao. You should feel relieved now."

The young man who was one step behind was dressed in black, with coldness in his eyes.

Ruan Shuyan looked at him with her eyes slightly lowered. Huo Xiao was the child her mother rescued and had been raised in the mansion as an adopted son. She had a very close relationship with them.

In her previous life, she was deeply trapped in the Marquis' Mansion. Huo Xiao showed up several times, and each time he wanted to take her away, but because of her reputation and fear, she never gave in, and ended up dying in defeat.

Thoughts flashed through her mind quickly, and Ruan Shuyan smiled and called out "Brother Huo".

After greeting each other, the group sat down to eat.
