Chapter 41: Catch her now!
Sun Manying was followed by seven or eight maids and servants, each with a sinister smile on their face: "Ruan Yunsheng, you deserve to taste the pain I suffered yesterday!"
She pointed at Ruan Yunsheng and said sternly, "Throw her into the pond in the backyard to feed the fish. Don't let her out without my order!"
Ruan Yunsheng feigned fear and took a few steps back. "Sun Manying, General Sun just said in person that he won't pursue what happened yesterday!"
Sun Manying snorted coldly: "Just because my father doesn't pursue the matter doesn't mean I won't pursue it!"
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and catch her!"
Several maids and old women received the order and immediately pounced on Ruan Yunsheng viciously.
Before the maids came over, Ruan Yunsheng picked up her skirt and ran away!
She seemed to be in a panic, being chased around by her servants, but she was actually observing the terrain.
Ruan Yunsheng narrowed his eyes as he passed by an attic.
This pavilion may seem inconspicuous, but its location is very critical. Unfortunately, the door is locked and she can't get in.
Sun Manying had not recovered from her illness yet, and she was panting and was supported by her servants as she chased after him.
She commanded, "You guys, go over there, and you guys, go block the other side!"
"Ruan Yunsheng, I'll see where you can run!"
Ruan Yunsheng ran along the corridor for a distance, and at this time, a study appeared in front of her.
The study is hidden deep in the courtyard. Under the black tile eaves hangs a gold-plated plaque with a black background. The three large Yan-style characters "Mo Yun Zhai" are written in vigorous and powerful style.
The cleaning servant happened to come out and was about to lock the door.
Ruan Yunsheng rushed over in a few steps, pushed the servants aside, slipped into the house, and locked the door behind him.
Sun Manying chased him outside, shocked and angry. "Ruan Yunsheng, get out right here! This is my father's study. It's filled with precious ancient books and important official documents. Can you afford to pay for what's lost?"
She was extremely nervous because she was not even allowed to enter the study room. If Ruan Yunsheng broke something, she would definitely be in trouble as well.
Ruan Yunsheng quickly searched the desk while shouting, "My third brother is the richest man in Sheng Country. Let alone a small study, even if I had to raze your entire Taiwei Mansion to the ground, this princess could afford it!"
Sun Manying was so angry that she banged on the door, "Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!"
Ruan Yunsheng said, "Do you think this princess is stupid? You brought so many maids and servants with you, and you still want to push this princess into the pond. This princess will not leave!"
Sun Manying stamped her feet and scolded the maid in a low voice: "Go tell my mother!"
Her father attached great importance to this study and usually did not allow her to enter it. She never thought that Ruan Yunsheng would accidentally run in.
If she breaks anything, her father will definitely punish her!
Sun Manying was furious: "Ruan Yunsheng, come out right now, and I will let go of what happened before!"
Ruan Yunsheng was squatting down and searching the cabinets on the lower level. Without even looking up, he said, "You are a sinister and cunning person. This princess doesn't believe a single word you say!"
Sun Manying kicked the door and shouted angrily, "If you don't come out, I'll set fire to the house!"
Ruan Yunsheng closed the cabinet door and turned to look through the bookshelf next to him.
"If you dare to set fire to it, try it! If this princess loses even a hair in your Taiwei Mansion, none of my brothers will forgive you!"
Sun Manying said anxiously, "I don't need you to apologize. Get out of the Taiwei Mansion right now! As a princess, you can't just stay in our mansion forever, right?"
Ruan Yunsheng searched through the bookshelf but didn't find anything valuable. She had limited time and looked around anxiously.
Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a landscape painting on the wall.
She shouted outside, "Your Taiwei Mansion is so poor, do you think this princess wants to stay here? Call my third brother over. As long as my third brother comes to pick me up, this princess will leave immediately!"
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
Sun Manying saw the person coming and hurriedly said, "Mom, Ruan Yunsheng is hiding in my father's study. Please think of a solution!"
The wife of the Grand Marshal looked at the closed door, a hint of viciousness flashing in her eyes.
She said solemnly, "Princess, this study is an important place in my Taiwei Mansion. Please come out immediately."
Ruan Yunsheng's voice came from inside the door.
"Madam Taiwei, it's not that this princess is rude and trespassing. It's Miss Sun Er who brought people to seek revenge. This princess is powerless and has to hide to protect herself."
The Taiwei's wife took a breath and said patiently, "Princess, I was just joking with you. Besides, with me here, no one dares to disrespect you. Please come out."
Ruan Yunsheng was carefully removing the painting on the wall when he discovered a secret compartment.
As she quickly flipped through the contents of the secret compartment, she said, "It's not that I don't trust Madam, it's just that Miss Sun is so arrogant and domineering, and I'm really scared!"
"Please ask Madam to send someone to invite my third brother. As long as my third brother comes, I will leave immediately!"
Sun Manying was so angry that her nose almost twisted. "How dare you call me domineering?"
The Taiwei's wife narrowed her eyes and said, "If the princess doesn't come out, I will not be polite."
Ruan Yunsheng stayed in the study for so long, and he didn't know if he would discover anything.
Today... I can't let her leave alive!
Thinking of this, the Taiwei's wife lowered her voice and ordered the servants: "Knock the door open!"
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from behind: "Why is it so lively?"
When the Taiwei's wife and Sun Manying turned around, they saw Xie Yan striding towards them.
Beside him was Ruan Yunbo, who was walking hurriedly, and General Sun followed behind with a grim expression.
The Grand Marshal's wife frowned and said, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, Mr. Ruan San, this is the inner quarters of the Grand Marshal's Mansion. Please leave!"
Xie Yan curled his lips slightly, his tone cold, "I heard that Miss Sun was seriously ill, so I specially invited the imperial physician from the palace to treat her. Human life is at stake, so I really can't care about these complicated etiquettes."
He glanced at Sun Manying and said, "But why do I feel that Miss Sun Er doesn't look seriously injured?"
Sun Manying was upset. She had a fever all night and it had just subsided this morning. She was actually feeling very uncomfortable. It was only because she wanted to get revenge on Ruan Yunsheng that she ignored the pain.
Ruan Yunbo asked, "Second Miss, may I ask where my sister is?"
Sun Manying said angrily, "Third Young Master, you've arrived just in time. The princess broke into my father's study and now refuses to come out."
She slammed the door hard and said unhappily, "Princess Mingyi, Mr. Ruan San is here. How long do you want to stay in here?"
At this moment, the door creaked open.
Ruan Yunsheng carefully opened the door a crack, and seemed a little scared. When she saw Ruan Yunbo, she immediately ran towards him with her skirt lifted up.
"Third brother!"
Xie Yan and Ruan Yunbo were standing together. From his perspective, Ruan Yunsheng seemed to be running towards him.
He sighed to himself, this was of course impossible.
Ruan Yunsheng ran to Ruan Yunbo and said aggrievedly, "Third brother, you're finally here."
