"Heh." Ruan Xinchen laughed, "A piece of trash, no, a whole family of trash. I don't expect him to do anything. I have to handle this kind of thing myself."

"What do you want to do?"

Ruan Xinchen shook his head. "The only way to kill Cui Yun in one go is..."

"You want to find your brother?"

"Yes, my mother asked someone to check the servants of the Ruan family, and no one knew where my brother was sent. They all said that it was done by Chen, but Chen has been dead for several years. I asked people who were close to her, but no one knew."

"But Mrs. Ruan must know?" Chu Xuanche said.

Ruan Xinchen nodded and said, "Yes, she definitely knows, or knows some clues. But she...she can't bear to see us have an easy life, she would rather die than tell anyone."

She didn't say anything, not because she couldn't speak, but because she had to find a way.

Chu Xuanche thought for a while and said, "Ah Xin, don't hold on by yourself. Maybe... you should send a letter to the Cui family."

During the previous emperor's time, a branch of the Cui family served as important officials in the imperial court in the capital.

Unfortunately, because of his serious crime, his entire family was either exiled or beheaded.

The host family quickly distanced themselves from them, and no male offspring returned to Beijing for ten days.

If she wrote back, she could write to her uncle.

My grandparents passed away a long time ago, and my uncle is the head of the family now.

They haven't contacted each other for so long, and Ruan Xinchen doesn't really want to disturb them.

Besides, I'm not familiar with him at all.

"Isn't that bad? I don't even know them."

"The Cui family has been quiet for ten years. They are not interested in going to the capital, but they have no excuse to go there. Why not ask your uncle to make the decision based on the old family affairs?"

"But...will the Emperor have any opinion? What if it causes trouble for Prince Gong's Mansion?"

Chu Xuanche: "Don't worry, the emperor won't care."

"Are you sure?"

Chu Xuanche: "..."

He rolled his eyes at her and said, "Write the letter yourself and invite her in person."

Well……

"OK."

After a pause, she said, "Thank you."

Chu Xuanche: "..."

…

When Chu Xuanche was not at home, Chu Li had no way to ask Ruan Xinchen out, and now it is even more impossible.

He had the idea of ​​holding a banquet again, and asked Ling Lie to think carefully about what kind of banquet would be suitable to hold recently.

Ling Lie felt overwhelmed, "Your Highness, she is the wife of Prince Gong, your cousin's wife. It is really... inappropriate for you to do this."

Chu Li stared at him intently.

Ling Lie shut up and could not think seriously about what kind of banquet to hold recently.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out. "The Dragon Boat Festival just passed... recently... it seems... that we don't celebrate the festival."

Chu Li: “…”

"Think about it again."

"It's really not a festival. You must be suffering from lovesickness..."

“Ahem.”

"No, how about this? You take care of the sworn brotherhood with Miss Xu."

Um?

Originally, I didn't intend to make a big fuss about it, my grandmother just issued an imperial decree and that was enough.

He didn't want to make his encounter with Xu Moer known to everyone.

But now, to see her...

After thinking it over, I decided to give up.

"No, it's nothing serious. There's no need to make it known to everyone."

"Then I really can't think of what the banquet could be held for."

Chu Li took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Stop, go down."

Ling Lie broke out in a cold sweat.

He sincerely felt that going to His Highness had hurt his brain.

Physical injuries are minor matters, but an untreated brain is a major problem.

I always feel like he is him, yet he is not him.

Something will happen sooner or later, but I don’t know exactly when it will happen.

As soon as Ling Lie arrived in the yard, he ran into Xu Moer.

"Brother Ling."

Ling Lie was startled. "Miss Xu, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask if your injury is better?"

Well……

"I haven't seen him these days, and the servants said that his old injuries have recurred. I'm... a little worried."

Xu Moer looked at Ling Lie uncomfortably.

Ling Lie felt mixed emotions.

He didn't know how, but he changed.

His Highness clearly promised to marry Miss Xu, and after returning he married the eldest daughter of the Ruan family. If he said it was an arranged marriage by the Queen Mother, he could not refuse it.

Normally, there should be no problem in booking a room.

But they became brother and sister.

What is going on?

He always felt that everyone around him was crazy.

"Better."

After hearing this, Xu Moer said excitedly: "Then can we go see him?"

Well……

"Let's not meet for now. Your Highness has been in a bad mood these days."

"Ah? Why is he in a bad mood? Go check on him..."

"Don't." Ling Lie quickly stopped her and said, "His Highness said he doesn't want to see anyone, Miss Xu, this is the palace, and that... the countryside is still different."

Xu Moer tilted her head and looked at him in confusion.

Ling Lie felt tired and said, "It's His Highness' words. All of us, do you understand? Including you...Princess, you must obey. When he doesn't want to see anyone, you can't say you want to see him.

If you force your way in like you did last time, the servants wouldn't dare to stop you. You are His Highness's benefactor, so His Highness can't say anything bad about you. But after you left, the servants who couldn't stop you were punished."

Xu Moer gradually understood.

Ling Lie added: "It's not easy for people to be servants, don't always make things difficult for them."

Xu Moer understood, and the light in her eyes dimmed, "So... if he says he doesn't want to see me, then I can't go see him, right?"

"Yes, don't worry, he will see you when he wants to see you."

Xu Moer lowered her head and nodded silently.

All of this fell into Ruan Yihe's eyes.

Since she got the support of the Queen Mother, she has become arrogant again.

Although she failed to obtain the right to be the housekeeper of the palace, she had been scolding the servants in the palace these days, strolling out several times a day, and pointing fingers at the servants, just like when she first arrived at the palace.

As for the woman who claimed to be the prince's sister, she played a trick on her, both openly and covertly, and constantly reminded everyone that she was going to get married.

Those who want to curry favor with her should think carefully. Don't get on the wrong boat and end up unable to reach the shore.

Chu Li had been locking herself in the room, not caring about anything going on in the palace.

The affairs of the palace are said to be managed by a special housekeeper, but if Ruan Yihe wants to intervene, the housekeeper has to listen to her.

As a result, the wind direction in the palace changed, and everyone began to curry favor with Ruan Yihe again.

In order to make her happy, Xu Moer would naturally have to suffer.

Xu Moer was wronged and had no one to turn to for help.

Thinking that she didn't know anyone in the capital, she went to Prince Gong's Mansion to look for Ruan Xinchen.

Ruan Xinchen was a little surprised when she heard that Xu Moer came to see her.

"What is she doing here again?"

"I heard that she was tortured by Ruan Yihe in Prince Zhan's mansion. She must have come to you to complain. Miss, if you don't want to see her, just send her away."

"No, let her in."
