Chapter 5



In the distance, Ruan Hong was waving at her, causing Mrs. Ruan to glare at him.

When she walked over, she found that the tea room next to the front hall was also filled with boxes, which were the betrothal gifts sent by Prince Gong's Mansion.

"Why so anxious?" she muttered.

A grandmother next to him said in a sinister tone, "After our princess left your mansion, she went straight to the palace to see the Queen Mother and asked her if she knew that the Ruan family had two daughters. Guess what? Hey, the Queen Mother was also confused. It turns out that the Ruan family has two daughters! Lord Ruan, Madam Ruan, you hid it really well."

Well……

Who could have thought that Princess Gong could be so fierce.

At that time, Nguyen Hong and his wife said that the Queen Mother knew that the Nguyen family had two daughters and gave the other daughter in marriage. She actually rushed into the palace to verify with the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother didn't know about it at all. She only specifically asked for the girl from the Ruan family after listening to Qin Tianjian's words.

This is really embarrassing.

Ruan Hong and his wife smiled with their lips folded and their faces concealed, wanting to explain something but not knowing how to make a joke.

놙 nodded and bowed awkwardly.

The housekeeper beside Princess Gong didn't give them a good look at all, and said directly: "Since your family has two daughters, I hope you won't favor one over the other, and tomorrow both daughters will marry equally."

Ah? Tomorrow?

This time it was Ruan Xinchen's turn to be stunned.

Ruan Hong and his wife continued to nod and bow.

"Don't worry, grandma. That's for sure. Both the palms and the backs of your hands are made of flesh. We won't favor one over the other."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

Ruan Hong and Cui Yun were busy as a top, asking the servants to count the betrothal gifts sent by the two families.

Ruan Yihe was in high spirits, with no worries at all about getting married for fun.

"By the way, mom, is Ziyi back?"

"Come back, you went there to celebrate, why are you in such a hurry? Your school is far away, how can you come back in time?"

"It always feels like something is missing even though my brother can send me off to get married."

"Come on, if you want to fight the king..." Madam Ruan's voice stopped abruptly, and she lowered her voice and said, "Mother, let me ask you again, is your information reliable?"

"Don't worry, it's reliable."

Mrs. Ruan sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

Ruan Xinchen stood aside in a daze. In the eyes of the servants, she looked more like someone who was there to celebrate.

"What's wrong with the Second Miss? How can she be so happy to marry into Prince Gong's mansion?"

Ruan Yihe glanced at Ruan Xinchen and was also puzzled.

Why does this little bitch have such a gloomy face? Could it be that she knows that Prince Gong is crazy?

"Go and ask her what's going on."

She instructed her maid to ask Ruan Xinchen.

"Second Miss, are you happy to marry Prince Gong?"

Ruan Xinchen glanced at Ruan Yihe in the distance and said, "This is too fast. Princess Gong seems too happy. You originally thought you were going to marry your sister, and I'm here to make up the number. Can you be nice to me?"

Hearing her say this, Ruan Yihe felt relieved.

I thought to myself, you are just here to make up the number. I want it, so I'll give it to you.

In my whole life, I have suffered a lot since I got married, let alone you.

Just wait and see. I wonder if you can survive three years in Prince Gong's Mansion.

That night, Ruan Xinchen's quiet courtyard became lively.

Busy decorating the new house, sorting out wedding dowry, etc.

Time is limited, and the servants are busy carrying lanterns.

Seeing the boxes covered with red paper being moved in one by one, Ruan Xinchen felt it was very real.

Because of the dowry that Cui Yun had prepared for her daughter Ruan Yihe for more than ten years, at least one third of it was moved to her yard.

The servants worked diligently, and none of them dared to slack off.

Prince Gong's Mansion insisted on marrying Miss Ruan on this happy day. Everyone saw that Prince Gong's Mansion was more powerful, so who dared to bring bad luck to the couple?

What's more, there was Princess Gong's housekeeper who stayed at Ruan's house to keep an eye on things personally.

The yard was full of people and she couldn't run away.

"Miss, what should we do?" Caiyu gently pulled the corner of her clothes and asked in a low voice.

What to do? She also knows what to do.

Ruan Xinchen shook his head lightly and said, "Let's talk about it later."

"So, have we bought the household registration yet? I asked Liu Si, and the girl from the Zhou family is still alive."

"Yes, of course I will."

She knew that Prince Gong was mentally ill.

From Ruan Mansion to Prince Gong Mansion, he jumped from one fire pit to another.

Even if the plan changes, you still have to run.

Grandma Feng walked towards Ruan Xinchen with a smile on her face. "Girl, go to bed quickly. You can only sleep for two more hours. After two hours, I will have someone wake you up and dress you up."

Ruan Xinchen agreed and went back to the house.

She didn't go to bed immediately, but dug a box from under the bed with Caiyu, which contained things her grandmother left for her.

She was only six when her grandmother died, and she had to be more careful to bury things, as these things could not be preserved at all.

Fortunately, she was young at the time, and Cui Yun never thought that a six-year-old child could dig a hole and hide valuables.

After my grandmother passed away, I took people to her yard, wandered around and then left.

Cui Yun knew that she had been growing vegetables in the yard all these years, and she always thought that she survived by growing vegetables.

"For now, we can't escape in a short time, so we should try to suffer as little as possible. Caiyu, these are our belongings. I will be left alone tomorrow, so you must keep them safe."

"Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely keep it well."

There wasn't much in it, just a few pieces of the old lady's favourite jewellery and some banknotes.

It wasn't a lot. Maybe the old lady took her as a child and thought that even if she gave more, she could keep her safe. The banknotes she gave were just enough for her to use until she reached adulthood.

All the things were given to Caiyu, who packed them up carefully and sewed them into her clothes with needle and thread.

The next day, Ruan Xinchen was woken up from her sleep, told to wash and dress, and then carried out the door by the matchmaker.

She and Ruan Yihe were carried out of the gate one after the other, and sent to the sedan chairs of Prince Zhan's Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion respectively.

Mrs. Ruan first said goodbye to her eldest daughter sincerely, and then under the gaze of everyone, she came over and said goodbye to Ruan Xinchen hypocritically.

Ruan Xinchen lowered her head and saw that under the red veil, the hands belonging to Mrs. Ruan were tightly holding her own hands.

He kept saying that he was willing to marry her and saying the same things he had just said to Ruan Yihe, but he changed the words a little bit, but his hands were pinching her.

The soil in Ruan Xinchen's yard was dug by herself. How could Madam Ruan, who needed servants to help her even when she went to the toilet, have such strong hands?

Dare to pinch me?

Ruan Xinchen cried and said the same words as Ruan Yihe just now, and pinched back with her hand.

Mrs. Ruan cried so hard in pain that people thought she was crying because she was heartbroken about marrying off two girls in one day.

One by one, they comforted her.

Ruan Xinchen was afraid that if he continued to pinch Madam Ruan she would hold back and scream, so he let go.

As the sounds of gongs and drums rang out, she once again left the Ruan Mansion where she had been trapped for ten years.
