The affairs of the Ruan family were a hot topic, and the news was spread in the streets and alleys of the capital.
Ruan Hong didn't expect this to happen, and was very worried.
Knowing that it was Ruan Xinchen who spread the news on purpose, 놛껩 had nothing to say.
He only looked at his son who was standing below, feeling uneasy.
"Dad, so is this really true?"
Ruan Hong nodded and said, "Yes, it's true."
Ruan Dongyi's eyes were red. "Then the person you originally wanted to marry wasn't my mother?"
"No, she pretended to be her sister and deceived you, causing you to misunderstand and miss your life."
Ruan Woyi couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, and murmured, "How could this happen?"
Ruan Hong felt distressed seeing her look and wanted to say something to comfort her, but he also wanted to protect Ruan Xinchen.
I still remember what that child looked like, how she was so mean, and she even kicked her for Ruan Yihe.
When she thought about the past, her guilt towards Ruan Xinchen doubled, and her pity for Ruan Dongyi disappeared.
"You should ask your mother why this happened."
"Mother..." I thought about how when I asked my mother about these things a few days ago, she didn't admit it at all.
She kept saying that it was us who did it.
But... I checked it out these few days.
I went to Lord Lu to look at the case files, asked the servants in the mansion, and went to Prince Zhan's mansion to ask my eldest sister and brother-in-law.
The eldest sister, who was in the same clan as my mother, refused to admit it, but my eldest brother-in-law did.
I heard that my fifth uncle was here, so I went to ask him.
The result is that they are all rumors and not rumors, they are all true.
"What should I do?" The boy asked anxiously with red eyes, "Dad, you have to save Mom. After all, you have been husband and wife for so many years."
Now he has completely lost his former spirit. The once proud prince can no longer be arrogant.
His eyes were full of confusion and panic.
"What should I do?" Ruan Hong sneered and said, "Of course I have to divorce her."
"What?" Ruan Xiaoyi staggered, "How can this be possible? If you divorce your mother, then... then what about Xiao and my sister?"
놛 knelt down and said, "Dad, please don't divorce mom, okay? Even...even for 놖 and my sister, I beg you."
Ruan Hong looked down at him and said coldly, "You only think about you and your elder sister, but have you ever thought about your second sister?"
Ruan Yi was stunned, and after careful thought, she realized that her second sister had indeed suffered a lot of unfair treatment during those years.
Ruan Hong said, "Besides your second sister, you also have a brother who is three days older than you. Your mother had someone abandon him, and now we don't know whether he is dead or alive. You only care about yourselves, have you ever thought about him?"
"This... 놖, 놖 knows 놖 that we are sorry to my second sister and brother, but...but..." 놛 No matter what I say, no matter how I think about it, it is selfish, 놛 knows it in my heart.
Ruan 떚 Yi suddenly couldn't continue.
Seeing that the groundwork was almost ready, Ruan Hong said, "I can promise you that I will not divorce your mother, but I have one condition."
Ruan Yi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, "What conditions do you want?"
"Find your brother, and I'll forgive your mother."
Ruan Xiaoyi frowned and said, "It's been several years, how can I find it?"
"Your mother knows, but she is too cruel. She can't stand seeing others doing well, so she will never tell anyone."
Ruan 떚yi: “…”
"If you can persuade her to tell me your brother's whereabouts, I will forgive you as compensation."
Ruan 떚yi nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, 놖 will definitely persuade 놖 mother to tell her."
After agreeing to Ruan Hong, Ruan Dongyi went to find Mrs. Ruan.
Mrs. Ruan speaks in a graceful manner, but in fact she is not that graceful.
In each mansion, there is a miniature world.
The attitude of the master directly affects the behavior of the servants.
Now, she had witnessed the days when Cui Ming was troubled by his servants.
Ruan Hong sold out his close associates or sent them to other places.
The people who once supported her were influenced by Ruan Hong's attitude and ignored her, or even deliberately made things difficult for her.
The days passed like a walking corpse, and there was no light in her eyes.
After looking at his son, his eyes lit up a little.
"Yi, you're here."
Ruan 떚yi nodded and said, "놖 went to see 놖's father and begged 놛 not to divorce you."
Mrs. Ruan clenched her fists angrily.
These days, she and Ruan Hong quarreled, exposed each other's shortcomings, and hurt each other.
The relationship between husband and wife of several years has been completely severed.
She was not surprised that she wanted to divorce herself, but what surprised her was that she really wanted to divorce herself without caring about the future of her children.
"How do you say that?"
"Mom, I will do as you taught me, and ask you not to divorce me for the sake of me and my sister. But..."
Mrs. Ruan's face darkened. "I don't care about you?"
Ruan Yi did not answer yes or no immediately, but only said: "It is said that there are not only two children with my eldest sister, but also a second sister, and... and a brother."
Madam Ruan's expression changed, and she snorted coldly, "How can they be considered your brothers if they didn't crawl out of their mother's womb? Those born from a bastard are not your brothers or sisters."
"No, mother, you are wrong. We have done something wrong and we must admit it."
Mrs. Ruan looked at her in disbelief, "Yi, what did you say? You said that mother did something wrong?"
Ruan Yi tugged at her sleeves, took a deep breath, and said with determination, "Yes, I asked a lot of people. Although mother has never admitted it, they all said it was you. You pretended to be Auntie and married Dad, you drugged us and ruined us, and you even arranged Auntie's death, but Grandma Wang took the blame for you. Mother, you really did something wrong."
Madam Ruan staggered, and now she couldn't recognize him.
"Yes, so what if it was you who did it? You are your son, do you want to attack me like you did?"
"I won't attack you, mother. I want to help you."
After hearing what 놛 said, Mrs. Ruan heaved a sigh of relief.
She smiled and looked at him lovingly, "This is my good son."
Ruan 떚yi, "Will mother do something for 놖?"
"Of course, I'm counting on you at this age, and I'm willing to do anything for you."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. When has my mother ever lied to you?"
"Then...then can you tell me where my brother is?"
Mrs. Ruan’s smile froze.
I immediately understood your purpose.
"Huh, Ruan Hong asked you to trick him?"
Ruan Woyi said: "Mom, it was indeed Dad who asked you to ask, but what you just said is true. You will protect you and you will not blame you, but you sincerely hope that you can consider it for yourself.
Uncle Cui said he would remove you from the family, and dad said he would divorce you. If you were really divorced, what would happen to you and your elder sister? For our sake, you cannot be divorced. "
