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

The next day.

As soon as daybreak appeared, several horses stopped in front of the Ruan residence, led by Xie Yuchun, Ruan Mingcheng and Huo Xiao.

As soon as the three men appeared, the concierge rushed into the backyard to report.

Not long after, Ruan Shuyan appeared in the front hall first.

"Husband, eldest brother, second brother."

She greeted them in order, and saw Ruan Mingcheng's face showing displeasure: "Why did you call him first?"

Ruan Shuyan raised the corners of her lips slightly: "It's a habit."

Ruan Mingcheng snorted coldly: "What do you mean by habit? If you ask me, it's just..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai walked in from outside.

When the three of them saw her, they immediately stood up and saluted: "Greetings, mother."

Bai saw the expressions of the three people and the smile on her face suddenly deepened: "No need to be polite, please sit down. Go and bring some cups of tea."

Several people sat down one after another. Bai looked around and asked about Ruan Mingcheng and Huo Xiao's situation at the border.

Ruan Mingcheng said something lighthearted: "Don't worry, mother. My second brother and I are doing well at the border."

Bai nodded and looked at Xie Yuchun: "After the news of the border bandits being wiped out spread to the capital, you became famous."

Xie Yuchun smiled and said, "Thanks to the help of my eldest brother, second brother and Yan'er. If it weren't for them, the border incident would not have been so easy to resolve."

Bai smiled and did not comment on Xie Yuchun's praise.

Silence gradually spread, Xie Yuchun felt something was wrong, and looked at Ruan Shuyan unconsciously, what happened? Why did her mother suddenly become indifferent?

Ruan Mingcheng and Huo Xiao also exchanged glances, but they did not look at Ruan Shuyan. Instead, they looked at Xie Yuchun coldly.

Unknown to them, something must have happened in the capital, and it was related to Xie Yuchun.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming stagnant, the maid brought tea to break the stagnation.

Xie Yuchun took the tea and took the initiative to bring the topic back to himself: "During the time I was away from the capital, nothing happened in the mansion, right?"

Bai smiled slightly: "Master Xie, are you talking about the Ruan Mansion or the Xie Family?"

The expression on Xie Yuchun's face froze. The words "Sir Xie" could come out of anyone's mouth, but never from Bai's mouth.

Because this means that there is a problem with the Xie family again.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuchun asked cautiously, "Xie family?"

Bai's eyes narrowed: "Your mother divorced your wife for you."

"boom!"

Xie Yuchun dropped the teacup in her hand to the ground and looked at Bai in disbelief: "Mother, this is not a joke."

"Do I look like a joker?"

Bai's questioning made Xie Yuchun completely speechless. He didn't believe it, but he knew that this was something that Old Madam Xie could do.

After a long time, he stood up with the help of the armrest: "Yan'er will stay in Ruan's house for the time being. I will come to pick Yan'er up after I finish dealing with the affairs of the Xie family."

Xie Yuchun didn't ask any more questions, but when he said this, his eyes were always on Ruan Shuyan.

In response, Ruan Shuyan simply held the teacup and gently skimmed the tea leaves on it with the lid.

Seeing this, Xie Yuchun bowed, turned around and strode away.

After confirming that Xie Yuchun had gone far away, Ruan Shuyan said helplessly: "Mother, Old Madam Xie didn't say the word divorce."

"Is it?"

Bai tilted her head slightly and said innocently, "But I see that Madam Xie keeps asking you to go home and says that we can't be in-laws. Isn't that what she means by divorcing you?"

Ruan Shuyan opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say, because Madam Xie did want to divorce her, but she just didn't say it out loud.

At this time, Ruan Mingcheng spoke up: "Sister, you didn't do anything wrong. Why should the Xie family divorce you? But I agree to a divorce. I thought Xie Yuchun was a good person before, but when I went to the border, I found out that he was a ..."

"Just a what?" Bai replied subconsciously.

Ruan Mingcheng coughed lightly: "Nothing, this is just my personal opinion."

Bai looked at him for a moment, then turned her head to Ruan Shuyan and said, "No matter what decision you make, don't listen to your eldest brother. He can be very emotional sometimes."

Ruan Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled softly: "I understand, mother."

Ruan Mingcheng: "..."

Well, he shouldn't talk.

Shaking his head, Ruan Mingcheng picked up the teacup beside him and shut up.

On the other side, Xie Yuchun returned to the Xie family and ran straight to Qingfengyuan.

Old Madam Xie was talking to Xie Yurui when she suddenly saw Xie Yuchun and was a little confused.

"You, when did you come back?"

"Just now."

Xie Yuchun answered, his eyes swept over Old Madam Xie and Xie Yurui, "Mother and my second brother gathered in Qingfeng Courtyard early in the morning. What are they talking about?"

Madam Xie's eyes flickered slightly: "What can we talk about? Your brother just came to pay his respects. Is there any problem?"

"No problem at all."

Xie Yuchun gave an affirmative answer, and then asked Ruan Shuyan: "But when I came back, I found that the master was gone in Tingzhuyuan. I wonder where my wife went? Mother or second brother, can you give me an answer?"

The room fell into silence.

After a while, Madam Xie said, "She went back to the Ruan Mansion."

Xie Yuchun nodded: "Why did she return to the Ruan Mansion?"

"She always likes to go back to the Ruan Mansion, and I dare not control her. How can I know why she goes back?" Old Madam Xie looked away and spoke with confidence.

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

"Mother really doesn't know?"

Madam Xie's eyes flickered slightly, and she turned her head away without answering.

At this time, Xie Yurui questioned, "Brother, you are so arrogant. It's ok that you didn't see mother first when you came back from a long trip, but now your woman has left and you still come to question mother. With such an attitude, do you regard mother as an elder? Where have you learned the etiquette and rules?"

Xie Yuchun looked at Xie Yurui with mockery as if he had heard a joke: "Are you sure you want to follow the rules?"

Xie Yurui sneered, "Why can't I talk to you about the rules? Ever since you married the daughter of the Ruan family, you haven't taken your mother to heart at all, and even disobeyed her several times. If this gets out, how will people in the capital view my Xie family?"

"boom!"

Xie Yuchun knocked Xie Yurui to the ground with one punch.

Madam Xie, who had been calm before, suddenly jumped up.

"Xie Yuchun, why did you hit your brother for no reason? You, you, you, are you trying to piss me off to death? Huh?"

Xie Yuchun tilted her head slightly: "Mother, you are joking. I am not mad at you. I am disciplining your son for you."

Madam Xie was stunned by his words: "You, your brother is fine, why do you need to discipline him?"

"It is often said that an elder brother is like a father, but not only did he not take me seriously, he also scolded me. Shouldn't he be disciplined if he doesn't know the rules?"
