The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

The woman's face turned pale instantly, and she bit her lips, looking pitiful.

Chang Geng didn't even look at her. To him, this woman was like a snake or scorpion.

He took out a small bottle from his waist and put it under Yuan Yunqi's nose and smelled it.

The man who was originally asleep moved his eyes after a while and woke up slowly.

When he saw the unfamiliar guard in front of him and his distant cousin Ruyan from the second branch of his family, his eyes were full of confusion.

"You...what are you doing?"

Just now he heard the maid say that his two younger brothers were in trouble, so he immediately followed them out.

Although he is not his brother from the same mother, he still treats him sincerely, so naturally he cannot just sit back and watch.

I followed the maid to the backyard, but for some reason I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I saw these two people in front of me.

"Cousin...cousin."

Ruyan looked at Yuan Yunqi with affection and tears in her eyes, but the latter frowned in confusion.

"Mr. Yuan, now that you're awake, please get up and put on your clothes. I'm here to look for you on the orders of the Grand Tutor. I'm afraid someone will be outside soon."

After saying this, Chang Geng looked meaningfully at the sobbing woman beside him.

When Yuan Yunqi heard him say this, his mind moved slightly and he guessed what was happening in the current situation.

The look he gave the woman was filled with anger and disgust.

He quickly stood up, put on his stripped coat, and looked at the crying woman without any emotion:

"You are the second wife's cousin. As the master, I welcome you. However, since you have such dirty thoughts, you cannot stay in this Yuan Mansion. I will report today's events to my grandmother. What will happen to you and the second wife depends on your fate."

He hated these dirty tricks in the harem the most, but he didn't expect that he would fall into the trap today.

"Thank you, Master Taifu, for your help. I will definitely thank you in person later."

He is not stupid. He is in trouble and yet the Grand Tutor comes to his aid. There must be some other factors involved.

But if the other person doesn't say anything, he naturally won't ask any more questions.

After saying that, Yuan Yunqi followed Chang Geng and quickly left the room. When they heard the sound of a group of people talking outside the yard, they changed direction and went out through the back door.

After leaving, Yuan Yunqi walked towards the front yard.

He already had some guesses about what happened today.

I just don't want him to marry a girl from the Wang family.

The rumors that were spread in front of my grandmother before, as well as this frame-up, were all intended to prevent the two of them from missing each other.

At this moment, he was a little anxious, wondering if Wang Yuyan had also fallen into another frame-up. What happened to her? Did she escape?

Thinking of this, he became much more anxious.

"Mr. Yuan."

A clear female voice came from the other side.

Yuan Yunqi stopped and looked over, and saw Wang Yuyan walking towards him quickly.

The girl was beautiful, but not as delicate as other girls. Instead, she exuded a healthy and lively spirit.

As she walked, her clothes fluttered, as if hitting her heart.

"Miss Wang."

Although the two were engaged, they had always been polite and restrained.

Wang Yuyan had already walked in front of the man, her cheeks slightly red.

"I...you..."

After all, she is a woman, and no matter how cheerful Wang Yuyan is, she still can't ask some questions.

She wanted to ask if he would mind what happened before and if he was unwilling to marry her...

I want to know the answer, but I'm afraid to know the answer.

"Wang Gu... Yan'er, you... wait for me. I will marry you formally when the time comes and keep my promise."

Although the two have always been restrained and polite, they understand each other very well.

He couldn't describe the feeling of being moved, but Wang Yuyan always held a special place in his heart.

He knew since childhood that this girl would be his wife in the future.

So he will pay attention and try to understand.

After getting the answer she wanted, Wang Yuyan's face instantly turned red, even the tips of her ears turned red.

"Then... then I'll wait for you."

After saying that, the woman shyly ran away quickly, leaving the man watching her leave with a slightly doting smile.

On the other side, Mrs. Yuan Er and several friendly ladies slowly walked to the courtyard where Yuan Yunqi had just come out, pushed the door open and went in, her heart full of pride.

All the preparations she made today were to ruin the marriage with the eldest wife.

Yuan Yunqi from the first wife's house is the most loved by his parents-in-law. As long as he is around, everything in the Yuan Mansion has nothing to do with their second wife's house.

This time she arranged for her niece to marry Yuan Yunqi, and then she would let the eldest wife marry her niece into the house.

She still couldn't believe it. Yuan Yunqi had an affair with another woman before he got married, so why would the Wang family still marry their daughter to him?

Moreover, the girl from the Wang family...

She thought everything was fine.

However, when he entered his niece's yard, he happened to see a person walking out of the room with a pale face and red eyes.

Seeing her aunt coming with a group of ladies, Ruyan immediately bowed politely:

"Aunt, good afternoon, ladies."

Madam Yuan Er looked unhappy, but she still maintained a kind tone:

"What's going on? But whatever happened, your aunt will take care of it for you."

Why did she come out? Where was Yuan Yunqi? Had their plan been discovered?

But even if he is not here, she can still make him unable to get away with it. Now it depends on whether her niece can seize the opportunity.

She tried her best to wink at Ruyan where no one could see.

But Ruyan was immersed in the cold words the man had just said when he left. She felt cold all over and did not notice the look Mrs. Yuan gave her.

Mrs. Yuan Er was a little disappointed with her son, but she still turned the topic to Yuan Yunqi.

"Just now a maid came over and said that she saw Brother Qi coming towards you. Seeing you look like this, is there something wrong?"

The ladies behind were all shrewd people. When they heard this, they looked at Ruyan with ambiguous eyes.

But when Ruyan heard that name, her expression became even uglier.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yuan Er thought that something had really happened and spoke even more excitedly.

"What's wrong? What did Brother Qi say to you?"

Like smoke crumbling.

"Ruyan, you..."

"Second Madam, the old lady asks you to come over now."

Madam Yuan Er's excited tone was interrupted by an old voice that did not allow for any argument. She turned around with great displeasure, only to see the old nanny beside her mother-in-law.

Looking at her serious expression, my heart skipped a beat for some reason.

"This...but what's the matter with mother? The ladies are still here, why don't I go over later..."

"Ladies, we have some matters to deal with at home. Why don't you all move to the front hall? There's nothing much to see in this courtyard."

When everyone saw the old lady's expression, they knew that something big must have happened, so they naturally didn't want to get involved. A group of people responded and walked towards the front hall.

After everyone left, the old nanny said to Madam Yuan Er, "Let's go, Madam."

There was no other way, so the latter could only reluctantly follow the old lady into her courtyard.

As soon as they left, two maids came over and closed the gate of the courtyard.
