In Yuan's mansion.
After seeing the news, Yuan Xiao slumped in his chair with a dejected look on his face, sighing incessantly.
Yuan Ruiyu, who was standing aside, looked lonely. She stepped forward to pick up the envelope that Yuan Xiao had dropped, and muttered to herself.
"Father!" Yuan Ruiyu gritted her teeth, filled with resentment, her eyes bloodshot.
Yuan Xiao glanced at it and shook his head.
"Your eldest sister has become powerful and bold. Now she can easily control our Yuan family. We are of the same origin, so why are you so anxious to fight against us?"
"And your henchman, the Third Young Master, said he would be responsible for you, so why didn't he bring back any reliable news even after being sent to the capital?"
"Look, he's just not capable of that! He can't give you happiness!"
After hearing Yuan Xiao's words, Yuan Ruiyu was stunned.
She didn't want to marry into the Ren family before, but she just thought Ren Zhaoxi was an interesting person and someone she could get along with.
After all, he is the third son of the Ren family. Although he does not have much power, it is still enough. As long as he works hard to pass the imperial examinations and obtain a substantial position, it is still good.
But now that his mother is in trouble, he wants to turn the tide with just one word, but in the end he says it but delays doing it!
It directly wiped out Yuan Ruiyu's expectations!
It would be better to stay with the Guo family that she had always wanted to get close to!
"What elder sister? I don't have such a sister! She dared to harm my mother... I thought, let's try my ex-brother-in-law!" Yuan Ruiyu said cruelly, with some ambition in her eyes.
Seeing this, Yuan Xiao was surprised and stood up from his chair and said,
"Ruiyu, the Guo family is taking too much risk!"
"No matter how helpless my father is, I can't send you into the tiger's den! Although Guo Liangxian has the rank of middle-rank general, that was just the emperor testing Prince Xian. Ultimately, Prince Xian has the final say!"
"Be good, let's not think about the Guo family anymore. That sloppy Guo Mansion, with so many concubines and only one old lady is enough for you to bear."
Although Yuan Xiao really wanted to teach Yuan Xueyue a lesson and fight back, he absolutely didn't want to do so if it meant exchanging Yuan Ruiyu's happiness.
After all, he no longer has Yuan Xueyue as his daughter in his heart.
Yuan Xiao felt humiliated that her husband's family was bullying her own family.
Think about it, he is the local dragon in Lucheng, and is secretly known as the local emperor. He never thought that it is also one of the fiefdoms of King Xian. Yuan Xiao still has to be controlled by King Xian!
"Father, I'm serious! Since the emperor is willing to support the Guo family, it means he's serious about it. Didn't you say that someone has reported Prince Xian's actions to the capital?"
"Then my daughter thought, this must be the reason why the Emperor wanted to use this to put pressure on the Xian King!"
"This is my daughter's only chance!"
Yuan Ruiyu said with a firm look.
Yuan Xiao was stunned, feeling helpless!
"Let me think about it."
In view of this, Yuan Xiao had no choice but to wave his hand and let the maid take Yuan Ruiyu away. He sat alone in the main hall thinking.
Should I take this risk?
"Wow wow wow!"
As soon as Yuan Ruiyu left, the nanny appeared holding Ruiger, who was over six years old.
Fang Fengai was supposed to be responsible for taking care of the young master of the Yuan family, but she had been holding him in her arms like a treasure!
Now that Fang Fengai has disappeared, only the wet nurse who serves Ruiger in the backyard appears.
The nanny has a scent that Rui Ge'er can accept!
Hearing the sound, Yuan Xiao was very annoyed and said in an angry tone, "What are you yelling about? You are an adult, why are you crying?"
Unexpectedly, after Yuan Xiao yelled like that, Ruiger cried even louder!
"Waaaaaah..." Ruiger cried in Nanny Wu's arms.
Nanny Wu said helplessly, "Master, the young master keeps crying and making a fuss. I really can't do anything about it."
Yuan Xiao said coldly,
"Can't you think of a way out? You're a wet nurse, a woman with a child, how come you can't even coax a child?"
"What's the point of us, Yuan Mansion, hiring you?"
Nanny Wu was startled and quickly knelt down with Rui Ge'er in her arms. She placed Rui Ge'er beside her and kowtowed,
"I'm sorry, Master! I tried my best! But I don't know what's wrong with the young master today. He keeps making a fuss. I have no other choice but to come to you. Please have mercy on me, Master!"
“…”
As a last resort, Yuan Xiao ordered Manager Luo to arrange for a doctor.
Immediately afterwards, Chunxin from the backyard also came over and cleaned up a lot of things in the backyard.
She saw the master in the brother's room and went forward and said, "Master!"
"Don't bother me." Yuan Xiao said unhappily.
The doctor checked again and again, but always felt something was wrong!
Chunxin is a servant in the backyard, the niece of Manager Luo, and the head maid of the manager of Yuan Mansion!
When the doctor saw Chunxin, he looked at Ruiger lying on the bed and seemed to be thinking about something!
Yuan Xiao asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, how is Rui Ge'er?"
The doctor stroked his beard and said in a long voice,
“It’s not optimistic.”
Yuan Xiaoyi clapped his hands and said, "Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly!"
The doctor whispered, "Let everyone else stay away."
So Yuan Xiao sent everyone else out of the room, leaving only Rui Ge'er and him, the doctor.
Yuan Xiao stared at the doctor with an unfriendly look, "What's going on?"
"This child has had dementia since childhood, and now at six years old he's always crying. He's even harder to raise than the average child!"
"Those concubines in the backyard also have several children. I never paid any attention to them. None of them are as bad as Rui Ge'er!"
If it wasn't Fang Fengai's child, Yuan Xiao would never love Ruiger no matter what!
The doctor sighed and wrote a line of words on the rice paper:
"I hope Mr. Yuan will take care of himself. This is all I have to say."
After saying that, the doctor picked up his medicine box and left.
Yuan Xiao was left holding the paper tightly in his hand in a daze, confusion, shock, and anger gradually taking over his face!
"Fang Feng Ai you bitch!"
Yuan Xiao roared.
After resting, Yuan Ruiyu wanted to continue talking to Yuan Xiao at dinner, asking him to agree to let her go to the capital to meet Guo Liangxian of the Guo family!
Mother Fei from the backyard came to report,
"Second Miss, hurry to the dining hall! The master is furious!"
Yuan Ruiyu, “…”
-Royal Palace
Dai Yixuan put away the envelope on the table, and then he heard a voice outside the door asking,
"Is the prince in there?"
Yuan Xueyue asked the servant at the door.
The servant bowed and said, "My princess, I am here."
Immediately afterwards, the servant opened the door for the princess, and Cuiping helped her in.
Dai Yixuan's originally indifferent face was instantly covered with a smile!
"Why are you here?" Dai Yixuan came over to take Yuan Xueyue and helped her onto the soft couch.
"I'm not spoiled, Your Highness, you are busy." Yuan Xueyue declined and pushed his hand away.
Dai Yixuan insisted, "How can those trivial matters be as important as you?"
Yuan Xueyue chuckled, and casually glanced at the table. There was nothing on it, so she said,
"Is there any news from the prince?"
Cuiping served tea as she came in and out, placed it in front of them, then stepped back and closed the door.
"Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I will tell you as soon as I have news."
Dai Yixuan said, handing the snack on the coffee table to Yuan Xueyue's mouth, and she let out a sigh.
Yuan Xueyue shook her head and said,
"Your Majesty, I know clearly in my heart that you already have the news. Don't hide it from me. I need to know so that I can face it together with you."
