Chapter 10



Ruan Xinchen said calmly: "I see. Now that you are here, you should be at ease. Talk less, do more, and just do your own things well."

"But..." Cai felt that the place was terribly deserted and eerie everywhere.

"Miss, I...I'm a little scared."

Ruan Xinchen chuckled and tapped her on the head, "What are you afraid of? This is my return."

Cai said: "It is because of you that I dare to come in. Before you come back, I can only stand at the door and wait."

Is it so scary?

Ruan Xin looked around and found that the trees in this garden were taller than those outside.

The huge tree canopy blocked out the sun, and it was a cloudy day today.

In this case, lights would have to be turned on in all the corridors of the house.

It's a bit scary.

"Come on, let's go inside and count the money."

After being poor for more than ten years, Ruan Xinchen suddenly became rich.

Although the dowry given by the Ruan family could not compare with Ruan Yihe's, it was already an unexpected surprise for her.

Given her status and Cui Yun's dislike for her, if she had married an ordinary person, she could probably have gotten away with it by giving her a few tattered clothes.

Now he actually owns three shops, a farm, various fabrics and jewelry, and two thousand taels of cash.

Apart from anything else, these two thousand taels of cash are real money.

With the scattered cash of more than 1,000 taels left by their grandmother, they bought their household registration, obtained a travel permit, and found a place with low prices, which was enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

"Cai, take this to the bank and exchange it for twenty 1-liang notes."

Without waiting for Cai to agree, she said, "Forget it. It's not safe for you to go with so much silver. I'll go and change it myself another day."

Cai 냫 saw her packing her belongings and asked, "Miss, are we still leaving?"

Thinking about how Chu Xuanche suddenly looked like he was possessed by a ghost yesterday, how can I live like this?

She didn't want to be like Ruan Yihe, who was pushed into the lotus pond and drowned for no apparent reason when he went crazy.

"Of course we have to go. These are the things that we need to survive. We have to keep them safe and put them together with your indenture."

"yes."

"Get me a box of medicine. I need to wipe my knees."

"What happened to your knee?"

Ruan Xinchen said as he took off his heavy pants, "It's no problem. I'm going to the palace now. When you enter the palace, you have to kneel down to greet the nobles. It hurts so much for me."

The weather in October was already very cold, and Ruan Xinchen was wearing heavy clothes, which made him look a little clumsy.

Fortunately, I was wearing thick clothes, otherwise my knees would have been broken after kneeling for an hour.

Cai 냫 felt so distressed that she took some medicine and rubbed it on her knees.

While rubbing, she complained, "Really? The palace etiquette is strict, but it shouldn't be too tiring. Look at how you kneel down. If you don't know, you would think you were punished."

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

"What's the punishment?" A voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Cai 냫 stood up hurriedly, and after seeing who was coming, she bowed respectfully, "This servant greets the prince."

Ruan Xinchen could tell from the expression on his face that he didn't look like Chu Xuanche, so she asked tentatively, "Second brother?"

Um?

Cai 냫 looked confused.

A smile appeared on Chu Xuanling's face, which gradually intensified, and finally he laughed out loud, "Sister-in-law is really amazing. She knew who I was at a glance."

Cut~

"What are you doing here? Your brother is not here."

As she spoke, Ruan Xinchen had already lowered her trouser legs and covered her entire legs with the hem of her skirt.

Chu Xuanling narrowed his eyes and lifted her skirt.

Ruan Xinchen was startled and quickly held him down, "Second brother, what are you doing?"

"What are you afraid of? I'll just look at your legs."

Oh my god, are you the one who saw my legs?

"No need to look, Cai has already given me medicine."

"Apply medicine? Were you forced to kneel by that old witch?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

"Don't talk nonsense. There are many rules in the palace. I am a junior and I have to kneel down when I see anyone. That's it."

"Tsk, who are you kidding? You kneeled down a few times, didn't you hurt your knees?"

Ruan Xinchen said nonsense: "I have never kneeled before, so I got hurt. I won't do that again in the future."

Seeing that she refused to admit being punished, Chu Xuanling exhaled angrily.

"Who cares about you?"

After saying that, he left angrily.

After he left, Cai 냫 dared to speak, "Why does he look like the prince?"

"They are twin brothers, so of course they look alike."

"Ah? The prince has twin brothers?"

"Yeah, haven't you heard of it?"

"I have been staying at the Ruan family with my young lady and rarely go out, so I have never heard of it. Young lady, how do you know?"

Well……

"Grandma Feng told me."

Is that so?

I don’t know when Grandma Feng told you.

"The twins look exactly the same, almost like the same person. How did you tell them apart?"

Ruan Xinchen really couldn't tell the difference between their facial features, but she knew at a glance that this person was Chu Xuanling.

“Everyone’s demeanor is different.”

Expression?

This skill of knowing people still needs to be learned.

She just couldn't tell.

"oh."

Ruan Xinchen didn't see Chu Xuanche the whole day, and didn't even see him when he went to the dining hall to eat.

She found it very strange.

But seeing that Prince Gong and his wife looked normal and didn't even mention him, she didn't dare to ask.

Ruan Xinchen looked at the people in the dining hall silently.

The masters here, besides Prince Gong and his wife, Chu Xuanling, there is also an old lady.

Prince Gong spoke very little, but he was very kind to Princess Gong.

Princess Gong is the one who arranges all the household affairs, and it is obvious who has the final say in this family.

Chu Xuanling picked up some food for the old lady, calling her "Grandma". The old lady ate with a smile on her face.

It turns out that this old lady is the princess's mother, Madam Shen.

Seeing this, Ruan Xinchen also picked up some food for the old lady, "Grandma, try this."

"Hey, girl, when are you going to get married?"

ah?

Didn’t she just get married yesterday?

The question made Ruan Xinchen look confused.

At this time, the princess said, "Mother, you are confused. It was so lively yesterday. Have you forgotten?"

"Oh, look at my memory. I am really old and confused."

Ruan Xinchen thought: This old lady has forgotten everything that happened yesterday. Could she be suffering from Alzheimer's disease?

"Girl, when you go home later, please say hello to your grandmother for me."

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

"Grandma, my grandmother passed away," she reminded her.

The old lady's face changed when she heard this. "What? Huihui passed away? When did she pass away?"

This……

Seeing the old lady's grief-stricken look, Ruan Xinchen didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this time, the princess opened her mouth and said, "Mom, Madam Ruan has been dead for ten years. You attended her funeral, how could you forget?"

"Ah? Ten years? Then... have I cried?"

Everyone: “…”

“I’ve cried.”

"Alas! Huihui was so young, why did she die? Oh, I remember she asked me to help take care of her granddaughter. Fuer, remember that after the girl from the Ruan family came of age, you should urge Xiaoche to marry her back."

"I married her back, that's it."

"Which one? This is it?" The old lady looked at Ruan Xinchen.

Ruan Xinchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She finally knew who the person her grandmother was talking about was. It turned out to be such a person, the old lady in front of her.

But she was crazy.
