Ruan Mingfu glared at him.

This stinky man still has the nerve to say that, if she had a second choice, she would not have chosen this bastard!

"When will we be back from our trip to the capital this time?"

Xie Yanzhao hesitated for a while before speaking, "Four days is enough."

“Will it be a bit tight?”

Even if Commander Xie is no longer a tyrant, his funeral must be held properly. The Xie family has many relatives and friends in the capital, and these people will definitely come to see him off.

"That's enough."

Xie Yanzhao touched her long hair.

"Some people in the Xie family are difficult to get along with. If they say something unpleasant, ignore them."

Ruan Mingfu nodded.

She is not the kind of person who would put herself in a difficult position.

The day passed quickly, and the next morning, Ruan Mingfu opened her eyes and saw Xie Yanzhao's tall figure. He just walked into the carriage with a warm towel in his hand.

"Wipe your face."

Ruan Mingfu took it.

The wet towel was still warm. The man must have seen that she was about to wake up and knew that she liked cleanliness, so he ran to the bathroom to wet it.

The dog man is quite considerate.

After the two of them had cleaned up and had just finished breakfast, Lin Xiao came.

"Mingfu, I have to trouble you again today."

Thinking of the peacock-like Andre, Xie Yanzhao's face suddenly fell.

Lin Xiao rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, "Ming Fu, there is no translator who can handle it on his own over there, and Gu Qingsong is still young, he can't control those two people at all, what do you think?"

"Uncle, I'll be there right away."

Xie Yanzhao: "...I'll go too."

If that peacock dares to touch him again, he will kill him!

Lin Xiao smiled.

"Mingfu, don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Wait, he will go to his leader to apply for a bonus!

"Then it's my honor to help my uncle," Ruan Mingfu said with a smile.

Lin Xiao's smile deepened. "By the way, doesn't Yan Zhao also know F language? When you are tired, let him take over..."

As they were talking, they arrived at the door of the box.

Compared to yesterday, Andre and Finney were in much better condition. It seemed that the medicine they took yesterday had taken effect. When Andre saw her come in, his affectionate eyes lit up.

"Oh, beautiful lady, I see you again."

Xie Yanzhao's face darkened.

Andre pretended not to see it and continued to praise Ruan Mingfu in various ways.

"Seeing you so beautiful this morning makes me feel much happier this day," he looked at Ruan Mingfu affectionately, "If you could..."

Xie Yanzhao gritted his teeth and said, "Baron Ande, it's time for you to have breakfast."

He was a full head taller than Andre, and there was a strong sense of oppression when he looked down at him.

But Andre was not afraid of him.

He looked at Ruan Mingfu with resentment, "My beautiful lady, you could have just come, why did you bring this annoying guy with you."

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

If he was not a foreign guest, given Xie Yanzhao's temper, he would have been pinned to the ground and beaten.

"Mr. Andre, you are so humorous."

Andre sighed, like a child who didn't get any candy.

"All right."

Xie Yanzhao had a stinky face, scaring away Gu Qingsong who was approaching quietly. Feeling the fierce momentum of this man who was about to kill, he was about to burst into tears.

The foreign guests' breakfast was much richer than what Ruan Mingfu had today.

In addition to a glass of milk, there was also a sandwich. It was placed on a large plate and looked...small.

Gu Qingsong looked sympathetic.

The food these foreign royal children eat is just so-so.

"Brother, be reserved," Finny looked at Andre with disdain, "Do you know what you looked like just now?"

Seeing Andre turned his head, Finney continued speaking.

"Like a fly seeing Sho!"

"Oh, Finny, you are so vulgar," Andre looked at her sadly, "Oh my God, how could I have a sister as vulgar as you."

Finney: “…”

Finny was cutting the meat and the knife made a sharp sound as it scraped across the plate.

"Finny, you are really terrible. This is not something a lady can do," Andre continued, "I will tell the queen to hire a few more etiquette teachers for you."

"elder brother!"

Finney's face flushed.

A bright red quickly appeared on the fair cheeks...

"Comrade Ruan," Gu Qingsong came over quietly, "Are these siblings arguing?"

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

How did she answer this?

When I turned around, I saw Lin Xiao also looking at this scene curiously.

Although the two were not proficient in F-method, they could still understand some simple words. They both showed expressions of eating melons, and the gloating in their eyes was about to overflow.

It's still this pair of brother and sister, both are difficult to please.

The journey was extremely frustrating. Not to mention Xie Yanzhao, even Lin Xiao and Gu Qingsong wanted to beat them up.

The two were arguing, and Finny suddenly yelled at Ruan Mingfu.

"It's all your fault!"

After saying that, she sat back down with an emo look on her face. It was obvious that she was sulking because she had not won the argument with Andre.

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

Who has lost his temper?

She also has a temper!

"Princess Finny..."

Ruan Mingfu was about to speak when she heard a low sobbing sound coming from the room. Ruan Mingfu looked carefully and saw that it was Finney. She had a sad face and red eyes, looking particularly pitiful.

Andre: “…”

When he heard the girl crying, his scalp went numb.

Seeing Andre looking at them, Lin Xiao and Gu Qingsong turned their heads.

"Oops, I just realized I still have one document to complete."

This was caused by their own people crying, it was not a diplomatic issue, Lin Xiao had the right to avoid it.

Gu Qingsong also slapped his forehead, "...I still have a report that I haven't handed in to the teacher. Yes! I'm going to hand it in."

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

Watching the two of them quickly disappear, Andre's eyes fell on her.

"I...I have something to do too!"

Ruan Mingfu grabbed Xie Yanzhao and tried to run, but she didn't expect Andre to be faster. He blocked the door and reached out to pull Ruan Mingfu's hand, but Xie Yanzhao slapped it away.

He looked at him dangerously, "If you try anything again, I'll break your legs!"

This was said in F language, and Andre understood it.

He was about to retort, but when he looked up, he saw Xie Yanzhao's ferocious eyes, and his whole body trembled.

Andre swallowed, but didn't stretch out his claws again.

"I...I want to complain to you."

Although he was gentle and affectionate, he was not a person without temper. Moreover, he was used to being flattered since he came here, and this was the first time he was rejected.

"As you wish."

"Mr. Andre, your behavior has caused trouble for me and my husband," Ruan Mingfu was angry when she saw him threatening Xie Yanzhao, "If you do this here, you will be beaten to death."

If it weren't for Lin Xiao, Ruan Mingfu wouldn't have bothered dealing with these so-called foreign guests.

Her pretty face was filled with anger, and she pulled Xie Yanzhao away.

Andre still stood in front of the two of them, looking at her with obsession.

"Beautiful lady, you are more beautiful when you are angry..." Ruan Mingfu: "..."

Xie Yanzhao had a dark face and stared at Andre's disgusting face, rubbing his fist.

"My beautiful lady, you are right. I apologize for my behavior just now." Ander felt the murderous aura around him, shook his body and said, "My lady, I just want to ask how to comfort my sister."

Finney has been crying since a while ago and can't stop. His eyes are red and he looks very pitiful.

Andre has a headache.

His sister had been a crybaby since she was little, and he had no idea how many beatings she had received because of her crying. Fearing that she would complain to the queen, Andre had to seek help from others.

“This is easy.”

Ruan Mingfu's eyes rolled.

He walked towards Finny and whispered something in her ear.

She stopped crying and looked at Ruan Mingfu in surprise.

"real?"

Ruan Mingfu nodded, "Isn't that right?"

Finney glanced at Andre and nodded slowly.

Andre looked surprised.

Once Finney started crying, she wouldn't stop for hours. Andre's head was about to explode, but he didn't expect that Ruan Mingfu just said a simple sentence and the other party stopped crying.

"Beautiful lady, you are so amazing," Andre said in amazement. "I know, this must be the mysterious power of the East!"

What a mysterious oriental power.

She gave him a meaningful look, tugged at Xie Yanzhao's hand, and whispered, "Let's go."

After going out, Ruan Mingfu couldn't help laughing.

She turned her head and looked at Xie Yanzhao's resolute face.

"Aren't you curious about what I told her?"

Xie Yanzhao: "What did you say?"

Perfect!

It's definitely perfunctory.

Ruan Mingfu slapped his hand away, but couldn't help laughing.

"I won't tell you!"

Halfway down the corridor, they heard a scream. That familiar voice was Andre's. Lin Xiao and the others heard the sound and ran over quickly.

Xie Yanzhao stopped and looked at Ruan Mingfu.

But she raised her chin and looked back at him proudly.

"This is what happens when you offend a woman!"

In the carriage, Finny looked at the small space where Ruan Mingfu was with disdain.

"You're too young to stay here."

Ruan Mingfu looked at her silently, "Princess Finny, if you dislike it, you can leave."

Finny snorted.

Not only did she not leave as she was told, she even lifted her skirt and sat down in front of Ruan Mingfu.

"He doesn't look such a stingy person, why would he let you stay here?"

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

Ever since this princess came to see her, she started to be picky and disdainful after entering her place. Ruan Mingfu was a little speechless. She was about to speak, but she didn't know what she thought of, so she continued to speak along with her words.

"He is stingy in so many ways."

Finny looked over curiously, "What do you mean?"

"Two dishes a day, cabbage and tofu..."

Ruan Mingfu recounted her days as an educated youth in the countryside, which made Finny stunned. Especially when she talked about working in the fields and leeches biting people and sucking blood, the fear on Finny's face was unstoppable.

“It’s… so scary.”

Finney swallowed and looked at Ruan Mingfu with pity in his eyes.

"Not only that..."

After hearing these words, Finny shuddered.

"I, I can take him back to Country F. I'm a princess and I can provide him with the best environment!"

When she finished speaking, her expression became firm.

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

Wow, it seems like he really loves Xie Yanzhao.

She gritted her teeth.

This bastard is still attracting men out there at his old age.

hateful!

Ruan Mingfu was about to say something, but Finny waved his hand at her as if he was deflated.

"You are too miserable," she tilted her head and thought for a while, "How about this, my brother invested 50 million, although I don't have much money, but I will also... invest 10 million!"

"real?"

Lin Xiao appeared from nowhere, and with shining eyes he stuffed the contract that he had prepared long ago over to him.

"Princess Finney, it will take effect as long as you sign it."

Ruan Mingfu looked behind him and saw Gu Qingsong was also there.

No wonder Lin Xiao was able to seize the opportunity to break in.

Seeing that Ruan Mingfu didn't move, Lin Xiao winked at her with shining eyes.

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

Although she was a little speechless, she still translated Lin Xiao's words diligently.

Finney: “…”

She held a pen and looked at the paper in front of her as if she wanted to stare a hole in it.

Could she say that she said it impulsively because she saw how miserable Ruan Mingfu was?

Wuuu, her pocket money, her pretty little dress... wuuu, at least for the next six months, she will no longer be able to buy all kinds of beautiful jewelry as she pleases.

But... Finny glanced at Ruan Mingfu's delicate and beautiful face.

Oh shit!

I can't lose face in front of my love rival!

Finney picked up the pen and quickly wrote his name on it. He was ready to kill his enemy, ruthlessly and quickly, fearing that he would regret it if he was a second slower.

After signing, Finney seemed to be completely hollowed out. She sat there with lifeless eyes, staring at the ceiling in the box.

Her opposite is Lin Xiao.

He smiled like a mouse that had stolen oil, and after signing, he picked up the contract, cherishing it as if it were a family heirloom.

Lin Xiao looked at Finney with a smile, "Your Highness, I heard that Baron Andre also wants to invest?"

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

It would be a pity if this uncle didn't go and hang out with her brother.

But she still conveyed Lin Xiao's meaning.

I thought Finny would refuse, but she suddenly jumped up and looked at Lin Xiao with shining eyes.

"Ah... yes, my brother does want to invest. He told me last time that 50 million was too little," Finney said with a guilty look in his eyes, "He wants 7000... no, 100 million!"

One hundred million?!

Oh my god!

Even with Qi Yangyan's example, Lin Xiao wanted to faint from happiness.

If the other party really invested so much money, let alone serving them like grandsons, Lin Xiao would be willing to even call them dad.

At this moment, he no longer despised Andre and the other man for being difficult to serve. His kind and burning gaze was like a fanatical religious believer seeing the god he believed in.

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

She didn't know whether Andre would invest so much money.

But Finny... is really a traitor.

However, the magical thing was that the contract was successfully signed. Lin Xiao took Xie Yanzhao to stand in front of Andre, and soon he came out holding a 100 million contract.

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

No, does Andre really have such a conscience?

She couldn't figure it out.

…

In the capital, in a magnificent small western-style building.

Xie Donglou sat at the dining table, reading a newspaper in his hand. The noble lady beside him drank milk with a look of disdain on her face.

"It's not fresh at all. I won't buy from that store next time."

She had her hair tied up and was dressed very appropriately.

"Donglou, your nephew is coming back, what do you think?"

"What can I think?" Xie Donglou put down the newspaper in his hand, "Okay, let's eat quickly."

Although Xie Donglou is Xie Yanzhao's uncle, he hates Commander Xie. He has been staying in the Bai family for many years and has little contact with the Xie family and is not close to him.

He raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his hand, "Time is running out, get everything ready, they will be here tomorrow."

An Yuzhu didn't look happy.

"Don't act so generous to me out there. If you bring her back to me, I will never forgive you."

Xie Donglou frowned and looked at her, "Look at what you said, Yan Zhao is my nephew after all. He has no place to stay in the capital, can't I take him home to stay for a few days?"

"No!" An Yuzhu was very strong, "I said no and it means no."

Xie Donglou sighed.

He knew about the conflict between Xie Yanzhao and Commander Xie, and with his temper, he would never live in the compound. But... Xie Donglou looked at An Yuzhu.

"Yan Zhao is my nephew after all."

An Yuzhu sneered, "You think he is your nephew, and he is willing to acknowledge you as his uncle?"

When she married in, Bai Qianzhu was gone, and Xie Yanzhao was taken back to the Bai family. When she got married, she thought the other party would give her face and come over to sit down. Unexpectedly... she never saw Xie Yanzhao from beginning to end.

That time, she almost lost face.

An Yuzhu was so concerned about her reputation that she has not let it go even after more than ten years.

"...You don't know the situation at that time, right?"

An Yuzhu glared at him and said, "Anyway, don't even think about bringing someone home. Besides, you didn't marry the well-prepared daughter-in-law at home, but chose a country girl. You don't know how those people laughed at me when they knew about this."

"You are an aunt, what does your nephew's marriage have to do with you?"

Xie Donglou was truly speechless.

These old women have nothing to do at home, and they gossip about other people's affairs every day.

"Your nephew," An Yuzhu pointed to her head, "I think this place is not good. If you really care about him, take him to the hospital as soon as possible."

Xie Donglou: “…”

"You are talking nonsense again. Yan Zhao has a mental problem, but he can still sit in the position of regiment leader." He looked at An Yuzhu, "You have to think clearly. This is the best opportunity to get closer to my nephew. Your son also plans to join the army in a few years."

An Yuzhu: “…”

She responded reluctantly.

"Got it. I'll clean up a room."

Anyway, Xie Yanzhao wouldn't stay here for too long, so she just had to be patient.

"How's the third brother doing? Have you informed him?"

"I've notified you," An Yuzhu said with impatience, "Your elder brother died at an unfortunate time..."

"Shut up!"

Xie Donglou became anxious and shouted loudly.

He had no feelings for Xie Yanzhao, but that didn't mean he wasn't close to his elder brother, Commander Xie. In fact, Commander Xie treated his two younger brothers much better than his own sons, giving them money and arranging jobs for them.

Xie Donglou shouldn't call Commander Xie "Brother", he should call him "Dad".

He was closest to the generous Commander Xie, and when he heard the news, he secretly hid in his bed and cried.

Hearing An Yuzhu say this, it felt like a thorn in his side.

But An Yuzhu was not afraid at all.

Xie Donglou has a loud voice, and she has a louder voice than him.

"Xie Donglou! Have you become so capable? My father isn't even dead yet, and you dare yell at me!"

There was humiliation in Xie Donglou's eyes, but he had no choice but to give in.

"Yuzhu, I was a little anxious too," he soothed her in a soft voice, "after all, he is my eldest brother..."

An Yuzhu's biological father is Xie Donglou's immediate superior.

She has been suppressing him all these years. If Commander Xie's connections were not in the army and his hands were not so far, Xie Donglou would not have been able to tolerate An Yuzhu, a hot-tempered woman, for more than ten years. He would have turned the table long ago.

"I knew at the time that Bai Qianzhu was no good," An Yuzhu snorted coldly, "your elder brother insisted on treating this cheap woman as a treasure."

Xie Donglou nodded.

"My eldest brother is also not good at judging people."

"What about Xie Yin?"

An Yuzhu was not polite to her own nephew Xie Yanzhao, let alone care about the life or death of a burden.

"Let her go back to where she came from."

Bai Qianzhu smashed Commander Xie to death, and Xie Donglou hated him. Moreover, if Commander Xie had not passed away, An Yuzhu would not have dared to lose her temper with him like she did today.

These few days have felt...longer than the previous ten years.

"That's good. I don't want to see such a shady thing at home."

An Yuzhu raised her chin, very proudly.

"By the way, I have agreed with the third brother to pick up Yan Zhao at the station early tomorrow morning."

"I'm not going!"

An Yuzhu curled her lips.

Who is Xie Yanzhao to want her, his elder, to take over?

Beauty can’t kill him!

Xie Donglou's throat choked, "Then remember to vacate the room tomorrow."

"Alright, alright."

An Yuzhu waved her hand impatiently.

Xie Donglou was willing to let the country folk live in, but she was afraid that they would dirty her house. The attic on the third floor was just right, although it was a little small. But for a country folk, having a place to live was good enough, so why would he be so particular.

An Yuzhu made up her mind and breathed a sigh of relief.

Time passed slowly, and the train arrived at the station early the next morning.

Princess Finney looked at her reluctantly, "Ruan, I will miss you."

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

I don't know what's wrong with this little princess, but she has been sticking to her since she helped her come up with ideas to deal with Andre that day. She even ignored Xie Yanzhao, the man she liked.

"Finny, don't scare Ruan," Andre stood behind her, his eyes as gentle as water, "Ruan will also stay in the capital for a few days, you can go and visit her then."

Xie Yanzhao's face turned black, "You can call Ruan the same?"

Along the way, he was really annoyed by this peacock.

Finney's eyes lit up: "Ruan, is this true?"

Her eyes were big and round, and she looked at Ruan Mingfu expectantly, just like Wangcai. How could she refuse?

Ruan Mingfu thought for a moment and said, "You are welcome to come anytime."

"That's great," Finny happily threw himself into Ruan Mingfu's arms, "You are so nice."

Xie Yanzhao: “…”

It seems that men need to be on guard, and women need to be even more so.

After bidding farewell to the reluctant little princess, Lin Xiao looked at the two of them and said, "When you arrive in the capital, stay at my place. I'll let your aunt know before you get on the bus and I'll prepare a room for you."

"Uncle, we have a place to stay."

Lin Xiao looked at her suspiciously, "What place? Could it be a guesthouse?"

His face was full of disapproval.

"If my aunt knew that you guys were staying in a guesthouse when you came to Beijing, she would scold me to death."

"No," Ruan Mingfu took out the key she always carried with her, "This is given to me by my brother."

Lin Xiao: “…”

Thinking of Qi Yangyan's wealthy and arrogant appearance, his heart sank.

Ruan Mingfu continued, "Uncle, when we are settled, we will definitely come to visit you. I hope you don't despise us then."

"Okay, then I won't say much."

Seeing that the train had stopped, Lin Xiao couldn't stay any longer. He patted Xie Yanzhao on the shoulder and said, "Come to me if you have anything."

The two groups of people did not get off at the same place.

Xie Yanzhao carried the luggage, and Ruan Mingfu walked beside her. Her lively eyes looked around, full of curiosity.

It was the first time for her to see the capital city of this era.

The station was bustling with people, much more lively than Wancheng. The people around were well-dressed, and I even saw several foreigners walking by. At a glance, it was all heads.

Xie Yanzhao pulled her and said, "Be careful."

"oh."

Ruan Mingfu looked at the person who almost bumped into her, and the latter smiled apologetically. But because there were too many people, he couldn't even stop and say a word.

"Hold me tight."

Xie Yanzhao was at a high altitude, a head taller than everyone else. Standing next to him in the crowded crowd, I felt especially safe.

In this way, Xie Yanzhao walked out of the station smoothly with the luggage in one hand and Ruan Mingfu protected in the other, and also met his two uncles Xie Xilou and Xie Donglou smoothly.

Xie Xilou looked at Xie Yanzhao with tears in his eyes, "Growing up, it's good to grow up..."

As he spoke, he turned his back and wiped the tears from his eyes.

"Second uncle, third uncle."

Xie Yanzhao's voice remained flat.

"This is my niece's wife, right?"

Xie Donglou narrowed his eyes and looked at Ruan Mingfu who was standing beside him.

Country person?

Damn, you call this place country folk.

Xie Donglou couldn't believe his eyes, but Ruan Mingfu was standing quietly beside Xie Yanzhao. With that intimate look, who else could they be but husband and wife?

"Second uncle, third uncle."

Xie Xilou stopped crying and said three good words in a row.

He took out a small box from his pocket and handed it over.

"This is a little gift from me," Xie Xilou's eyes were still red, and he sighed, "Uncle is not a good person, so my niece-in-law must not despise him."

Xie Xilou's hands holding the box were cracked in several places, and looking at the half-new clothes on his body, it was clear that his life was not that good.

Ruan Mingfu didn't know whether she should answer it, so she had to look up at Xie Yanzhao.

"Thank you, Uncle San."

"Thank you, Uncle San."

Since the bastard had expressed his opinion, Ruan Mingfu took the things.

"From now on, you should live a good life with your wife," Xie Xilou was very happy, his eyes were red again when he said this, "Don't be like your father, or I will break your legs."

As a man, he looked down upon Commander Xie's behavior.

He had fallen out with Commander Xie more than ten years ago, otherwise he wouldn't be in this state now.

Ruan Mingfu looked up suddenly.

Xie Yanzhao had a long-lost smile in his eyes, "Uncle San, don't worry."

Xie Donglou on the side: "..."

Damn it, why didn’t the third brother inform him before giving him something?

Xie Donglou felt through several pockets on his body, but found nothing that could support the occasion. Thinking of the salary he received last night, which he had not yet given to An Yuzhu, he pulled out a stack of money, thought about it, and took out a few more bills.

He turned his back and counted, then walked towards Ruan Mingfu with a smile on his face.

"I came out in a hurry, so my second uncle didn't prepare anything. This little money is for the new daughter-in-law."

"Thank you, uncle."

Xie Donglou thought that no one noticed his actions just now, but in fact, Ruan Mingfu had already seen it all.

It is easy to tell who is insincere.

Ruan Mingfu did not feel any psychological burden to accept his money.

Xie Donglou looked at the money in her fair hands and reluctantly withdrew his gaze. If there weren't so many people here, he would have kicked the third brother.

You bastard!

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have embarrassed himself in front of his new wife.

Xie Donglou cleared his throat and said, "Yan Zhao, you just arrived in the capital and you probably don't have a place to stay yet. You can stay at my house for the next few days."

"You can live in my house. Your aunt has already cleaned up the room."

"Third brother, your family has so many people and the house is so small," Xie Donglou glared at Xie Xilou, then slowly said: "I'm afraid Yan Zhao's wife won't be able to get used to living here, so you should live in my house. My house is big and close to the compound."

He looked at Xie Yanzhao with a smile, waiting for his decision.

Xie Xilou was so poor that the whole family might not even be able to move around if they got together. Compared to the third child, Xie Donglou was very confident.

"No, we have a place to stay."

The abacus came up empty, and Xie Xilou was shocked for a moment.

"Yan Zhao, you are not saying this on purpose because you are afraid of bothering your uncle, right?"

"Yan Zhao..."

Xie Xilou also wanted to persuade him, but he was tongue-tied and didn't know how to put it out loud.

"Uncle, we really have a place to live," Ruan Mingfu smiled beautifully, "really don't worry."

Xie Donglou: “…”

Why doesn't he believe it?

We can't just live in the compound... As soon as this thought came to mind, Xie Donglou shook it off. Could it be that he was embarrassed and sent them to live in the guesthouse?

The more he thought about it, the more this seemed possible. There was something wrong with the way Xie Donglou looked at Xie Yanzhao.

This kid refuses to live in his house no matter what. Maybe he wants to separate himself from him?

This won’t do!

Commander Xie is dead, and his children have not grown up yet. The most promising one at present is Xie Yanzhao, who has become the head of the regiment. If this is true, what glory will he have in the future?

"Yan Zhao, don't be polite to your second uncle, just treat this place as your own..."

"Uncle, we really have a place to live."

Xie Donglou: “…”

After persuading me for so long, he got angry.

Xie Donglou really wanted to take care of this nephew, even though he wanted to pave the way for his son in the future. But now, he still didn't ask him to return the favor. Could it be that... Xie Yanzhao planned to live in the Bai family?

How will his relatives and friends in Beijing view him?

Xie Donglou wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Xie Xilou.

"Well, Yan Zhao, Uncle San will take you there."

Xie Donglou was about to get angry when he heard this, but changed his mind.

It's a good thing too.

If Xie Yanzhao has a place to live, why not just go and see him? If it is really as he thinks, I will scold him. Then I will take him home, and he will probably be more grateful to him as an uncle.

"Yes, knowing that you were coming back, my second uncle specially borrowed a car from the company to take you there."

Ruan Mingfu and Xie Yanzhao nodded.

In the car, she reported the address given by Qi Yangyan.

Xie Donglou tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

He knew that place, it was the center of the center. How could his nephew have a house there? Don't tell him that it was stolen from him.

Xie Donglou remained silent, but exerted force with his feet.

Looking at the scenery passing by the window, it was so familiar and yet so strange to Ruan Mingfu. Although she was from the south, she had always lived in the capital. She was very familiar with this place.

Even when she occasionally passed by a place, she could tell in her heart the name of the building that would be built there fifty years later.

There was silence for a moment, and the car fell silent. After a while, they arrived at the center of the city. The car turned several corners before finally stopping in front of a house.

Xie Xiluo looked at the meeting hall opposite, then at the house and was surprised.

This is fucking... There are no words to describe the shock in Xie Donglou's heart.

"Are we there yet?" Xie Xilou glanced outside. "Second brother, why did you stop here?"

It took Xie Donglou a long time to find his voice again.

"……arrive."

"Isn't this Prince Kang's Mansion? How did we get here?"

Xie Xilou looked at the courtyard in front of him.

This is the royal palace left over from the previous dynasty.

He had brought his children here to play before, and heard from people who were traveling with him that this mansion was where the emperor's sons lived in the past, and it was thousands of times bigger than his house.

What is Xie Yanzhao's destination?

Xie Xilou swallowed his saliva, "Yan Zhao, we men should be upright and not do illegal things..."

"Uncle San," Xie Yanzhao explained, "this is my wife's dowry."

He was afraid that if he didn't explain it clearly, Xie Xilou would not know what to do.

"dowry?!"

Before Xie Xilou could say anything, Xie Donglou jumped out excitedly.

He looked at Ruan Mingfu through the mirror.

She has fair skin and bright and beautiful face. If she didn't have a good family background, it would be impossible to raise such a girl. Look at her hands again, her fingers are slender and there are no calluses on them.

Xie Donglou's eyes were complicated.

You said you were a country woman, is this it?

This is clearly a golden doll!

Ruan Mingfu walked over and was about to use the key to unlock the door, but she found that the door was already open. She took a step back suspiciously, looked at the plaque above and reported the address again.

"…Is it here?"

"It's right here."

Xie Donglou looked at the painted red door nervously.

Oh shit!

Seeing my nephew marry such a rich wife is more painful than losing money myself.

Ruan Mingfu pushed open the door and walked in, and the first thing that caught her eye was the carved screen wall.

The front yard is as big as three basketball courts, with trees planted at the four corners. There are neatly trimmed grasses beside the road. There are flowers planted on one side of the road, and a stone table and chairs on the other side.

Ruan Mingfu watched all this with surprise.

Oh my god, is this what it feels like to be a rich woman?

Her brother really understands her!

Ruan Mingfu's eyes lit up and she looked around.

She and Xie Yanzhao might not be able to live in such a big house... Not only that, they would be exhausted just by cleaning. Who knows how many people they will have to hire in the future?

She couldn't help but count on her fingers in her mind.

Xie Donglou was so surprised that he couldn't express it in words.

He looked at the neat and beautiful courtyard... Wasn't it more magnificent than his small Western-style building?

Oh my god, this nephew is not worth it.

Ruan Mingfu stepped over the threshold and walked in, only to see a dozen burly men coming in. They all looked fierce and ferocious, and they looked like they were not easy to mess with.

A row of people came over and stood in front of the screen wall looking at them.

Xie Donglou felt somewhat gloating.

"Niece-in-law, we couldn't have broken into someone else's house. Please take another look at the address."

He said, how could Xie Yanzhao have such good luck. Marrying such a beautiful wife and having such a big house... All the good luck in the world is going to be taken by this bastard!

“That’s impossible…”

Ruan Mingfu looked at the address in her hand again.

How could her brother, who is such a meticulous person, make a mistake?

"Don't be afraid."

Xie Yanzhao looked at the group of people with vigilance.

At this time, a fat man pushed aside the others and ran over. When he saw Ruan Mingfu, his eyes lit up.

"Are you Miss Ruan?"

This awkward Hong Kong-style Mandarin tastes just right!

Ruan Mingfu put her heart at ease.

"Did my brother ask you to come?"

"Yes, my surname is Guan, and you and I can just be Guan Jiu," he said with great tact, taking the luggage from Xie Yanzhao and Xie Xilou, "Please, young lady, please."

Just as Ruan Mingfu was about to leave, she looked at him again.

"My brother is...leaving you to me?"

Guan Jiu chuckled, "Master Qi asked me to stay here and take good care of this place for Miss."

Ruan Mingfu nodded.

She really didn't dare to live in such a big place alone. Moreover, this kind of courtyard house also needs to be maintained from time to time. If she wanted to follow the army, she would never come here. Only when the college entrance examination is resumed, she might live here.

It has to be her brother who is so thoughtful.

"What about them?"

"This is the person I recruited when I came here," Guan Jiu scratched his head embarrassingly, "There are several holes in the backyard, and they have been repaired recently..."

"Thanks a lot."

It can be seen that Guan Jiu has good working ability. From now on, she can also lie down without worry.

Guan Jiu waved his hands repeatedly, "It's not hard, it's not hard. If it weren't for Master Qi, I might have died a long time ago... Let's not talk about this, Miss, please come in."

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Ruan Mingfu glanced at him, "From now on, just call me Comrade Ruan."

"good......"

As a royal palace handed down from the previous dynasty, it was very large and had beautiful scenery. But when they walked into the backyard, everyone was still shocked.

I don't know which owner of this palace built a small Jiangnan garden in the backyard.

Looking at the Nine-Curve Corridor Bridge, the withered lotus flowers that bloomed and withered after the summer, and even the Taihu rocks standing in the lake, Ruan Mingfu was amazed. The lake water had obviously been cleaned up, and it was so clear that you could see the fish swimming around at the bottom...

Ruan Mingfu couldn't imagine how sunny and cheerful she would be if she lived here.

Xie Donglou was so shocked that he was speechless.

His face was pale and blue, and the color was very beautiful. Perhaps he was immersed in shock and couldn't pull himself out, and he didn't have any expression control. Fortunately, he was the last one to walk, otherwise he would have been exposed.

"Comrade...Ruan, this is the main courtyard, where the master lives."

Several people followed Guan Jiu for several minutes before they arrived at the so-called main courtyard he mentioned.

Xie Donglou just felt that his eyes were not enough.

The doors and windows are all very delicately carved, with glass sandwiched on top. It does not affect the light and is beautiful. The front yard is an artificial lake, and there are many flowers and plants scattered around to repel mosquitoes and insects.

In the small garden, the roses are in full bloom.

Xie Donglou tried hard to hold back his jealous expression.

Even Xie Xilou didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

"Yes, I like it very much."

Ruan Mingfu took a look at the things in the house and liked them more.

"As long as Comrade Ruan likes it," Guan Jiu put down the luggage in his hand and looked at the other people. "It's getting late. Shall I go and arrange a table to entertain the guests?"

"No no... no thanks."

Xie Xilou waved his hands repeatedly.

He came to see Xie Yanzhao off, not to eat for free.

Xie Donglou: “…”

Damn, you don't want to eat it, but I do.

At this moment, he seemed to be pickled in vinegar, his whole body exuding a sour smell, and even the way he looked at Xie Yanzhao was wrong. What a group leader, what a promising future, he was clearly just a gigolo hanging out with a rich woman!

He touched his face. If Ruan Mingfu had been born twenty years earlier, Xie Yanzhao, the dark-faced vicious man, would not have been his opponent at all.
