But, if I don't coax 깊놛 now... No way, I'm afraid of angering 깊놛 and making her go crazy and drown herself in the lotus pond.

Ruan Xinchen brainwashed himself.

If a man does not work for himself, heaven and earth will punish him; if a man works for himself, he will be free. Every day he endures is a fight for freedom.

…

After the kiss that day, the relationship between the two seemed to suddenly become closer.

Tacitly, no one mentioned Chu Li again.

If she had known that she was so easy to coax, she would have kissed her earlier to avoid being frightened.

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year, and according to the customs of the Great Chu State, married daughters had to return to their parents' home for a reunion dinner.

Ruan Hong and his wife attach great importance to this day.

Because Ruan Yihe was under house arrest by Chu Li and has been locked up ever since.

They were rejected several times when they visited her, and they never thought of a chance to get Ruan Yihe out.

Traditional customs, this is not an opportunity.

This year, the Ruan family had their reunion dinner earlier than anyone else.

The princess asked Grandma Feng to deliver the invitation from the Ruan family to Ruan Xinchen.

Seeing Ruan Xinchen frowning, she said, "Princess, you know that the young lady doesn't get along with us, so if you don't want to go, then that's fine."

Which one counts?

The last time something like that happened, there were so many eyes watching.

Ruan Xinchen took the note and said, "Please ask Grandma Feng to tell my mother that we will go."

"yes."

Chu Xuanche was puzzled. "Don't you dislike that family? If you are not happy to go, why do you still want to go?"

Ruan Xinchen sighed and said, "It's one thing to dislike it, but humans are social animals and don't care about themselves. Since we live in this circle, we must abide by the rules of this circle and not give our family a chance to talk about us, saying that Prince Gong's Mansion doesn't know etiquette."

"Oh, you're still working on this?"

Ruan Xinchen thought, of course he is not here.

But not everyone can do that, not abide by the rules, and not be afraid of vulgar views.

"Didn't you tell me not to embarrass Prince Gong's Mansion?"

Chu Xuanche curled his lips and said nothing more. He took off his clothes and went to sleep on the bed.

Ruan Xinchen's mouth twitched, "This is a bed."

Since getting married, I have always slept in the study.

"No, this is my bed." She said calmly, "This is the bed I slept on for years."

Well……

She couldn't argue with that.

"But didn't you give it to 놖깊?"

"Who said to give it to you?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

"You are such a shameless person. I'll give you some time. Do you think you can dominate my life?"

ah?

Ruan Xinchen was so anxious that his tongue became tied and he could not refute it.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to, where are you going to sleep tonight?"

He patted the inside of the bed and asked, "Can't sleep with you?"

Huh? This... we have to share a bed?

"I can...I can sleep, but...but...I'm not ready yet." She stammered.

Chu Xuanche said calmly: "Don't worry, Chu Xuanche will not force women to do things they don't want to do. If you don't want to, I won't touch you."

"Really?"

The corner of Chu Xuanche's mouth twitched, and he became a little angry again.

놛 snorted coldly and said, "Of course, 놖 won't take the initiative to please women 떚. If you want, you can take the initiative to please 놖 yourself."

This……

Ruan Xinchen was a little amused and confused, thinking, do I have to take the initiative to please you?

Bah, so shameless.

See who can’t help it first.

Ruan Xinchen went to the cupboard to get a new quilt and threw it beside the bed.

Anyway, the bed is big enough, so I don't have to share the same quilt with you.

놙I just feel uncomfortable sleeping next to someone, and I tossed and turned for a long time before I fell asleep.

As a result, she woke up late the next day and felt exhausted.

This made Caiyu misunderstand, she thought they had consummated their marriage last night.

The expression was sometimes happy and sometimes sad.

Didn't Sister 께 say she was leaving?

Are you going to leave or not?

If we are going to leave each other after the new year, what about consummating the marriage?

If there is another child, will you still be able to get away?

Caiyu reminded her, "Sister Xiao, Liu Si said that we have to go and get the road guide by March next year at the latest."

"Yeah, I remember that."

"Then...then last night..."

"Each person has a quilt, nothing special."

Caiyu: “…”

"Is it not possible?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

She gave her a slap on the head, "You are such a daredevil girl, you don't have to worry about this matter, just keep it in your mind. Don't say it, don't ask."

What a joke.

…

Just as they were about to go back to Ruan's house for a reunion dinner, Chu Xuanche disappeared.

She usually doesn't ask about Chu Xuanche's whereabouts, but this time the situation is special.

Because Chu Xuanche clearly promised her that he would go back with her.

He agreed with gritted teeth, as if he was going to fight with Chu Li.

Now that he's suddenly missing, she feels something's wrong.

And if she guessed correctly, there would definitely be a tough battle tomorrow.

Chu Li and his gang will definitely take this opportunity to harass her.

No, Chu Xuanche is not afraid of her.

After much consideration, I decided to ask Princess Gong.

But unexpectedly, he saw Chu Xuanling halfway and was blocked on the road.

"Where are you going?"

"Second Master, long time no see. Go find your mother. What's up?"

"What do you want to do with my mother?"

"You promised to accompany me back to the Ruan family tomorrow, but it's already dark and I haven't seen anyone. I wanted to ask where my mother is going and whether she will be back tomorrow."

Chu Xuanling, "Don't ask, I'm out for something urgent and won't be back tomorrow."

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

"Are you kidding me? You said you wanted to go with me during lunch."

Chu Xuanling said calmly: "If you don't believe it, go and ask."

Just ask.

Ruan Xinchen still went to look for Princess Gong, but she didn't expect Chu Xuanling to follow her like a tail, all the way to the main courtyard where Prince Gong and Princess Gong lived.

After the greeting, Ruan Xinchen directly asked Chu Xuanche where he was going.

This made Princess Gong very embarrassed. She looked at Chu Xuanling behind Ruan Xinchen and said, "Xinchen, Chu Xuanling will always receive secret orders from the emperor and will always disappear suddenly. You have to get used to it. As for when he will come back, we don't know."

Hearing this answer, Ruan Xinchen was helpless.

"Is that so? Then..."

"Then I'll go with you tomorrow." Chu Xuanling suddenly took over the conversation.

Then Ruan Xinchen and Princess Gong both looked at 놛 at the same time.

Ruan Xinchen was surprised, while Princess Gong was very angry.

"What are you talking about? Tomorrow the Ruan family will have a family dinner with their married daughter and son-in-law. What's your point of going?"

Chu Xuanling said with a half-smile: "You can pretend to be my brother, but if you don't tell me, who will know?"

"You... are simply making a fuss. You are not allowed to do that." Princess Gong said directly.

Ruan Xinchen said, "Mother, since you have official business to attend to, you can go by yourself tomorrow. Second Master, it won't bother you."

"Um."

"Xinchen, take your leave." Ruan Xinchen left disappointed.

After she left, Princess Gong said with a dark face: "I hope you remember your identity and stop saying things that you shouldn't say."
