Ruan Hong breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I once asked her what she thought of the capital. She said that the capital was great and she wanted to stay there forever and didn't want to go back to Qinghe. I asked her why. She said shyly that she liked being in the capital. She didn't want to go back to Qinghe because she wanted to marry into the Fang family across the street after she went back, and she didn't want to."

Mrs. Ruan nodded. "I did hear my mother mention this."

"Well, then she asked me if I was willing to help her. I thought that if she wanted to stay in the capital, of course it would be fine. Didn't you say that your family also wanted to keep her in the capital to get married, but you were worried that she wouldn't be able to adapt to the local climate, so you wanted her to live in our house for a while first."

Mrs. Ruan nodded again, "My mother said that my sister is not used to staying in the capital, so she should go back to Qinghe and marry into the Fang family."

After that, she looked at Cui Er and said, "We didn't lie, did we?"

Cui Er nodded with tears in her eyes, "If I had known this would happen, I would have gone back to Qinghe and married into the Fang family."

"Then..." Ruan Hong took a deep breath and said, "I promised to help her that day, and something happened between her and me the next day. I thought... I thought that when she said help her, she meant to let her and me..."

Ruan Hong couldn't continue.

At that time, he firmly believed it and felt that he was being tricked by his sister-in-law, so he never saw her again after that.

After she became pregnant, her mother decided to take her as a concubine.

Even after she gave birth to a daughter, he never looked at her again.

From then on, she lived in seclusion and never left that small courtyard again.

It was not until two years later that the lady said she had thought it through and wanted to live a good life, and she persuaded him to go to her hospital.

He deliberately stayed up very late that day, but was forced to go by his wife. After finishing the job, he fled, but he never expected that she was pregnant.

Thinking of this, he felt extremely guilty.

"Ma'am, maybe... maybe we misunderstood her."

Cui Er just thought it was funny. "Now you know you misunderstood her? What were you doing before?"

As she laughed, she started to cry.

"She has someone she likes, I know, and that person is not you. She and her lover have been passing letters through the hole in the tree for five years. They were placed in the hole in the persimmon tree, and most of the letters were placed by me."

When ladies from noble families exchange letters with men, they cannot tell secrets.

She had never dared to say it before, but now she doesn't care anymore.

I have been misunderstood for so many years, so what if I get cursed a few more times?

Cui Er said hysterically, "She came to the capital to look for him. She asked you for help, and she also wanted you to help find him. In the first month of the year, that person said he was going to the capital to take an exam. After receiving his last letter, there was no news from him. You...you have hurt her so much. After that happened, she has no face to look for him again."

Cui'er's face was blurred with tears. She couldn't see Ruan Hong's expression clearly, but everyone else could see it clearly.

Ruan Hong's lips trembled and his eyes almost popped out.

Following Cui'er's voice, he felt as if someone was strangling him by the neck, and his face turned terribly red.

Then, it started to turn white, and then turned into an abnormal bluish purple.

Then, his eyes rolled back and he fell backwards.

"Dad..." Ruan Yihe exclaimed in surprise.

"Grandpa... Grandpa..." Madam Ruan was shaking all over, and then she fell down with her eyes rolled back.

"Mother~"

Two of them fell at once, but fortunately the case is almost over today, so their fall won't have much impact.

It's time to go home.

Lord Lu arranged for someone to call a doctor and to lock up several servants of the Ruan family in the dungeon.

Everyone else was in shock.

Although the trial was over, the story was not over.

When she was little, she heard her mother talking to Tsui Er about her love for someone.

It turns out that person is really funny.

This time, it's time to give her justice.

…

Lord Lu invited two doctors over, and they are now treating Ruan Hong and his wife separately.

The others were outside drinking tea while waiting.

After waiting for a long time and still not waking up, Lord Lu sent someone to ask.

After a while, the maid came out and asked, "Master, he hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said that Master Ruan's condition is a bit serious, and the doctor is giving him acupuncture and bleeding."

"Huh? I need to bleed?"

"The doctor said it seems like this."

Lord Lu frowned and said, "It seems that Lord Ruan's condition is indeed quite serious. What about Madam Ruan?"

"This..." The maid looked embarrassed and whispered, "He hasn't woken up yet."

This is very unconfident.

A hint of sneer flashed across Ruan Xin's face, and he thought: If I pretend to be unconscious, I won't wake up.

"Can I wake her up?"

Um?

Ruan Xinchen explained: "I have been learning medicine from my grandmother since I was young, so I know a little bit."

"Young Madam 놅 Grandmother 놆?"

"The daughter of Dr. Shen."

Lord Lu suddenly realized.

In the past, Doctor Shen, the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, was a skilled doctor, but unfortunately he had an accident and injured his eyes. Since then, he resigned and returned to his hometown with his family.

I heard that her medical skills are inherited from Old Lady Shen, so there should be no problem.

Ruan Xinchen went to the room, looked at Madam Ruan lying motionless on the bed, and borrowed a needle from the doctor directly.

Humph, you want to pretend to be dizzy and get away with it? No way.

Unless you can lie like this for the rest of your life.

Ruan Xinchen took the needle and inserted the needle wherever it hurt.

As long as it doesn’t kill anyone.

Others couldn't understand, but the doctor who was treating Mrs. Ruan saw it clearly.

Seeing the needle go in, he couldn't bear it and turned his face away.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Ruan screamed in pain.

Ruan Xinchen smiled faintly, "Awake."

She took the needle and returned it to the doctor.

Madam Ruan looked at Ruan Xinchen viciously.

Ruan Xinchen was not afraid and looked back at her.

The two of them were like this, staring at each other from a distance.

Ruan Xinchen knew what she was thinking. She must be regretting not killing herself that year.

Leaving her life, but burying a thunder bomb for her.

After a few breaths, Lord Lu's voice was heard outside the door, "Is Madam Ruan awake? Lord Ruan is awake."

Okay, now everyone is awake, let’s see how they hide.

"Madam, let's go and see Master Ruan together."

They are not worthy of her calling her parents again.

The moment Mrs. Ruan heard that Ruan Hong had woken up, her face turned pale and her body trembled slightly.

She didn't want to go, but when she woke up, Ruan Hong wanted to see her very much.

A moment later, Ruan Hong came over with the help of Ruan Yihe.

"Mom, are you awake too? Are you awake?"

After helping Ruan Hong sit down on the chair, Ruan Yihe hurried over to check on Mrs. Ruan.

Mrs. Ruan looked at her daughter and wanted to call her a fool.

You were originally keeping to yourself, why did you go next door to see Ruan Hong?

If my daughter were here, she would definitely not let Ruan Xin hurt her.

Ruan Yihe was actually running back and forth, but when she heard that Ruan Hong's condition was more serious, she ran to see him.

Ruan Xinchen took advantage of her absence to come over and wake Madam Ruan up.
