Chapter 38: Only on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year can one learn such an unpleasant dog bark
Ruan Yunbo frowned. "If someone had tampered with the White Jade Bridge beforehand, how would the person behind the scenes have known that Xie Yan would definitely deliver the letter to you?"
Ruan Yunsheng was silent for a moment. "Third brother, Xie Yan said that he saw a palace maid harassing Prince Duan in the palace... Don't you think this is a bit strange?"
She analyzed, "First, regardless of whether the maid was pregnant with Prince Duan's child or not, Concubine Hui would definitely not tolerate that maid. And why would she bring the maid to the temporary palace and give her the opportunity to harass Prince Duan?"
"Let's not talk about this for now. If I knew about this, I would definitely cancel the engagement. Isn't Concubine Hui afraid that others would see it and damage Prince Duan's reputation?"
"And how come it was such a coincidence that Xie Yan saw it?"
Ruan Yunbo continued to speculate: "Could it be that Xie Yan didn't want you to marry Prince Duan, so he deliberately harmed you?"
"Xie Yan doesn't want Prince Duan to receive support from the Zhenguo Marquisate, so he wants to ruin your marriage to Prince Duan... If that's the case, then Xie Yan is incredibly vicious! Our Marquisate has taken him in for so many years, and we've ended up raising an ungrateful person?!"
"No wonder Xie Yan has been helping me behind my back all these years. He must be feeling guilty!"
"No, I'm going to settle the score with Xie Yan right now!"
Ruan Yunbo became more and more angry as he spoke, and stood up to walk out.
Ruan Yunsheng quickly grabbed him and said, "Third brother, calm down first. This is all just my guess. Or maybe I'm just unlucky..."
"And think about it, if the person behind this is really Xie Yan, then why would he write to me personally to ask me out? Isn't he afraid of arousing your suspicion?"
After she fell into the lake, everyone thought she was dead.
Her four brothers and Xie Yan became enemies, and Xie Yan did not gain any benefits but instead encountered countless troubles.
During this period of time, she thought about it over and over again, and the practical benefits she would get after her "death"...
It’s clearly the Taiwei Mansion!
After listening to Ruan Yunsheng's analysis, Ruan Yunbo's face no longer had the usual unrestrained and carefree look, and was now only solemn.
"Shengsheng, if that's the case, then you can't go to the Taiwei Mansion!"
He said sternly, "Third Brother will never let you put yourself in danger!"
Before Ruan Yunsheng could object, Ruan Yunbo added, "Big Brother, Second Brother, and Fourth Brother will definitely not agree. Why don't we wait for Big Brother's letter to be delivered back to Shengjing before making any plans."
Their sister, who had been missing for five years, had finally returned home. If something went wrong again, how would they be able to accept it?
Ruan Yunsheng pursed his lips and said, "But Third Brother, I hope that Big Brother will return to Beijing as soon as possible. As long as Big Brother doesn't come back, I won't be able to let go of my heart."
Of course, Ruan Yunbo also hopes that his brother will return to Beijing as soon as possible, but not at the expense of his sister's risk.
He suddenly said, "Shengsheng, do you remember when you were ten years old, your third brother secretly took you out to play, and you almost got a heat stroke in the middle of the day?"
"After returning home, my eldest and second brothers beat me up. While my fourth brother was making you some summer heat soup, he told my eldest and second brothers to beat me to death, saying that no matter how hard they beat me, he could still heal me..."
Ruan Yunsheng couldn't help but nod and chuckle when he recalled the situation at that time.
In fact, the third brother was really miserable. It was actually she who wanted to go out and play that day, and the third brother couldn't stand her coquettishness, so he took her out secretly.
Ruan Yunbo sighed, "If Big Brother knew you were going to the Grand Marshal's Mansion and taking the risk for him, he would definitely prefer to stay in Cangwu County for a few more years."
"Listen to Third Brother and don't go anywhere tomorrow."
Ruan Yunsheng sighed helplessly.
Before going to Prince An's villa, she took action against Sun Manying without discussing it with her third brother in advance, because she knew that her third brother would not agree to her taking the risk.
Her four brothers treated her like a treasure, giving her everything she wanted. They always treated her best in her daily life, and even after their parents passed away, they never let her suffer any injustice.
Especially the eldest brother, he has contributed the most to this family. When his parents passed away, the eldest brother was just a teenager, but he supported such a huge mansion by himself.
In fact, my eldest brother should have discussed marriage five years ago, and there were many matchmakers who wanted to help him find a partner at that time.
But the eldest brother didn't want to be distracted by other things. He wanted to marry her off in a grand manner before talking about his own marriage.
I didn’t expect this to drag on... for five years.
My eldest brother is 25 years old this year. If he were another man, he would have children who could already help with household chores, but my eldest brother is still single.
The emperor had few children, and five years ago he went against the majority's opinion and recognized Xie Yan. He must have valued this prince very much, not to mention that Xie Yan was indeed extremely talented.
The eldest brother has been against Xie Yan for her. No matter what Xie Yan thinks, the emperor must be dissatisfied.
So the story goes that when the eldest brother lost the imperial gift, the emperor directly demoted him from a third-rank Hanlin scholar to the magistrate of Cangwu County.
In a remote place like Cangwu County, it takes a month to send a letter back and forth.
Add to that the ending of the story about her elder brother dying of illness in a foreign land, how could she feel at ease?
Over the years, she has been enjoying the protection brought by her brothers with peace of mind.
She enjoyed the glory brought by the title of princess, as well as the fiefdom and salary, but never did anything for her brothers.
Now the third brother's story has changed. Since she is alive, the fourth brother should not have poisoned Xie Yan and then been sentenced to death by the emperor.
What worries her most now are her eldest and second brothers.
She couldn't help with the situation on the battlefield for the time being. The most important thing now was to get her elder brother back to Beijing as soon as possible.
She said seriously, "Third brother, no matter what, I have already offended the Grand Marshal's Mansion today. The Grand Marshal's Mansion will definitely not let this go. If I don't go tomorrow, they will also go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for a decision."
"Then all my efforts would have been in vain."
Ruan Yunsheng spent two hours finally convincing her third brother, Ruan Yunbo, to cooperate with her plan.
late at night.
She lay in bed, completely sleepless, imagining what would happen tomorrow.
She may only have one chance to enter the Taiwei Mansion openly, so she must not waste it.
At this moment, two strange dog barks suddenly came from outside the window.
Ruan Yunsheng suddenly opened his eyes!
Only on the fifth day of the new year would one learn such an unpleasant dog bark...
She will never forget such an unpleasant sound in her life!
She immediately got out of bed, reached out and opened the window!
Sure enough, there was a slender figure standing in the yard.
Xie Yan was dressed in a dark suit that almost blended into the night. He had a mask on his face and his long, dark hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of his head. He looked neat and upright, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.
Ruan Yunsheng blinked twice in disbelief, "The fifth day?!"
Xie Yan nodded, "Yes, it's me."
Ruan Yunsheng looked at him in surprise: "Didn't you go wandering around the world? I thought you would never come back to Shengjing!"
She looked at "Chuwu" and muttered softly, "How come you've grown taller too?"
Xie Yan, Su Muyan, the seventh day, the fifth day...
These people seem to have made an appointment, they are all about the same height. Did they secretly take some magic drug to increase height?
