Chapter 14



However, Ruan Yihe didn't know that her father thought so much about her. She felt that her father was flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, thinking that the War King was dead, so he gave up on her and looked down on her.

She didn't apologize, but said harshly: "If I apologize, maybe the War King will wake up. Humph, when the War King wakes up, you will be in trouble."

After saying this, she walked away angrily.

Ruan Hong was embarrassed and said, "Your sister has been spoiled by us, my dear son-in-law, don't take it to heart."

"Don't worry, I don't expect my aunt to apologize."

"Then... my dear son-in-law, please wait for a moment. I will be back soon."

After he left, Chu Xuanche looked at Ruan Xinchen, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is your sister always so arrogant?"

"Yeah, what?"

"Nothing, it seems like you have an easy life."

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

Ruan Hong followed her out and all the way to the kitchen. Just as he expected, the eldest daughter was complaining to his wife.

When Ruan Yihe saw her father coming over, she said, "Mom, if you want to believe it, ask him whether he wants me to apologize to that bastard."

Mrs. Ruan: "Is what He'er said true?"

"Ma'am, I asked her to apologize, but I have my reasons..."

"Mom, look, he admitted it."

Mrs. Ruan was furious. "Well, you helped that bastard to bully my daughter? Really?"

"Yes, ma'am, don't believe everything you hear. I did this to give He'er a chance to survive. Please listen to my explanation."

"Hmph, okay, okay, I'll listen to your explanation. I want to see how you're going to explain why He'er apologized."

Ruan Hong said: "The War King hasn't woken up yet. No one knows when he will wake up, so we have to make two preparations."

Ruan Yihe: "He will definitely wake up."

"Shut up and listen to me first. Madam, if the War King wakes up, everything will be fine. I'm just afraid that he will wake up. If he dies, He'er will be lucky and be a widow for the rest of her life. Maybe in a few years, a royal child will be adopted for He'er to take care of in her old age. If that's the case, it's not wrong. But there is another possibility that the Queen Mother will blame He'er for the death of the War King and force her to be buried alive with him."

Mrs. Ruan's heart skipped a beat. "Is it possible? Our Cui and Ruan families are both aristocratic families. The Queen Mother is so ruthless."

"Oh, so much so? On the surface, so much so, but what about in private? The tricks of the women in the palace, if they want to drive a man to death, they must put them on the surface."

Hearing him say this, Mrs. Ruan was already worried.

Ruan Hong added, "If it really comes to that, I can still ask the Emperor through Prince Gong. Although the Queen Mother likes Prince Gong, the Emperor and Prince Gong have a deep brotherly relationship. If Prince Gong comes forward, he will definitely be able to save He'er's life. What do you think, Madam?"

Mrs. Ruan thought for a while and nodded slightly.

"What the old man said makes sense."

"So we can't expect the best, we have to prepare for the worst."

Mrs. Ruan thought that was right. If that was the case, then she would have to put up with that bastard. She would be offended to death.

At least I have to leave my daughter a chance to survive.

However, Ruan Yihe, who firmly believed that the War King would wake up, did not think so.

"How many times do I have to say it? He will wake up. The War King will definitely wake up. I will be a widow. I don't need you to plead for me. Why don't you believe me? Mother, is it you who don't love me anymore?"

Ruan Hong has a headache.

Mrs. Ruan said, "My daughter, you are wrong this time. Your father is thoughtful and did the right thing."

"What's right? You're making me angry and saying it's right. I said the War King will wake up."

"Okay, the War King will wake up, but what if? It's best to be safe than sorry. If he wakes up, we have to leave you a way to survive."

Ruan Yihe thought of her ridiculous and pathetic past life, and Chu Xuanche's completely different attitude towards Ruan Xinchen in this life. She smiled miserably and said, "If this really happens, I will die."

She thought about it, if it was her turn to fight King Chongxi and die, then what would be the point of her rebirth?

She lost to Ruan Xinchen again. Seeing her showing off her power, she would be a widow and might even have to raise someone else's son. She might as well die.

Ruan Hong and his wife's expressions changed drastically. "He'er, you are not allowed to talk nonsense."

"Huh, who's talking nonsense? I mean what I say."

After saying that, he left angrily.

Ruan Hong and his wife looked at each other and felt that their daughter was more attractive than him.

"Madam, do you feel that He'er is very angry and willful?"

Mrs. Ruan nodded. "I feel it."

"When did she become so aggressive?"

Madam Ruan thought about it carefully and said, "Probably since the Queen Mother's decree came."

Ruan Hong nodded, wondering what had happened to his eldest daughter's fear?

"Go back and ask the people who serve her what happened to her."

"good."

Back in the front hall, Ruan Hong walked forward to greet Chu Xuanche and looked very flattering.

What was surprising was that Cui Yun, who had always been fond of Ruan Xinchen, did not even bother to look at Ruan Hong. Instead, she greeted Ruan Xinchen with a smile and asked about his well-being.

Her sudden change made Ruan Xinchen a little confused.

What kind of good person is Cui Yunke? Is she harboring some bad intentions?

"Of course I am fine. Father, mother, and the prince are all very kind to me. I have never lived so well in the past ten years."

The smile on Mrs. Ruan's face became stiff.

Ruan Xinchen held her hands in his hands and said with a little excitement: "Mother, you don't know how kind mother is. She even broke the rules of mother-in-law and told me to get up when I woke up and go to pay my respects to her early in the morning.

She was afraid that I would not feel comfortable in the palace, so she told me that if I wanted to eat anything, I just had to tell the kitchen. She didn't force me to eat in the dining hall, saying that I could eat wherever I wanted. The food in the palace was very good, and we had meat every day. For example, in our Ruan family, we could only eat meat during festivals.

The smile on Mrs. Ruan's face completely disappeared, and her expression gradually became fierce.

This damn girl, once she got the upper hand, her butt was raised to the sky.

Do you dare to take this opportunity to slap me in the face?

Mrs. Ruan was grinding her back teeth, almost unable to hold it in.

But thinking that this was a way for his daughter to survive, he held back and did not explode on the spot.

After this incident, I'll just have to endure it.

On the other side, Ruan Hong was talking to Chu Xuanche.

After hearing their conversation, everyone looked over at them.

Chu Xuanche was surprised and said, "It turns out that my father-in-law lives in such poverty. The Ruan family can only eat meat during the New Year and other festivals."

"Ahem!" Ruan Hong said awkwardly, "The salary... isn't much, but there are many people in the mansion, so the expenses are indeed high."

Do you believe this lie?

The food arrived and it was surprisingly rich.

There is a wide variety of delicacies from land and sea, including chicken, duck, fish and meat.

Chu Xuanche showed a puzzled expression again.

"Father-in-law, are you very poor?"
