Chapter 007: Son-in-law doesn't want to share the room
The dinner was relatively quiet, with only Ruan Qinghuan's family gathered in the grandmother's meditation room. They talked about family matters during the meal. During the meal, He'an and Ruan Chengfu had a few drinks, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
After dinner, the kitchen prepared dessert. Due to this delay, the morning hour passed unknowingly.
After coming out of the Jingxin Pavilion, Ruan Qinghuan took her mother's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, I want to sleep with you tonight."
Zhou Yunzhi stopped walking after hearing this and said, "What nonsense! You are already married, but you still don't know etiquette. Go back to your room with He'an."
"Mom, I don't care. I will sleep with you. The adults agree too."
He'an and Ruan Chengfu were walking behind. When they heard this, they didn't respond. Ruan Qinghuan turned around and winked at him, but he still didn't say anything.
In this way, Zhou Yunzhi thought that her son-in-law did not want to separate the room.
Come to think of it, she was young and full of vigor, and she had just gotten married, so it was inevitable that she would be a little bit greasy: "Your father is drunk, I have to help him go back and rest."
Ruan Qinghuan frowned.
My mother and father have been living in separate rooms for more than two years. How could this be hidden from her? It was clearly an excuse.
Zhou Yunzhi helped Ruan Chengfu over and urged him impatiently, "He'an has drunk too much, help him go back and rest."
Seeing the two figures walking away, Ruan Qinghuan glanced at He An unhappily: "Why didn't you say anything just now?"
"What?"
"Nothing." Ruan Qinghuan turned and walked towards Yingyue Pavilion, but he was thinking about He'an in his heart. He had done him a big favor today and stabilized the situation of the Ruan family.
In the original drama, after Ruan Qinghuan made a scene, there was chaos and the second family had a big quarrel. The father protected the concubine and went back to the room. Although the window paper was broken, the result was not good.
Thanks to He An's presence today, we didn't lose control in the end.
After entering the room, Ruan Qinghuan came to the cabinet. When he opened the cabinet door, he turned around and said to He An, "Thank you."
He'an watched her take out bedding from the cupboard and frowned slightly.
Ruan Qinghuan walked out holding the quilt: "My brother's yard is next door, Master, please call me anytime if you need anything."
He An's eyes became more and more serious. Is she going to sleep in a separate room from him?
"Qinghuan, Qinghuan..." Ruan Qinghuan was about to open the door when she heard her second uncle's anxious voice. She was so frightened that she messed up her stitches. She hurriedly threw the quilt onto the bed and sat on the edge of the bed herself.
He also did not forget to pull down the curtains to cover the bedding.
There was a rapid knock on the door. He An looked at Ruan Qinghuan, who was moving smoothly and busily. Seeing her busy appearance, he finally felt a little more balanced.
It turned out that she was also afraid that her family would know that they had not yet consummated their marriage.
Seeing that it was He'an who opened the door, Ruan Chenglin hurriedly greeted him: "Greetings, Prime Minister."
"At home, Uncle, you don't need to be polite."
When Ruan Chenglin heard his daughter talk about the Ruifeng Bank incident, he knew that if the matter got out of hand, Zheng Qiaohui might be thrown into jail.
Although the relationship between the two has always been bad, they have three children after all. Qingchi is still young. If she is really convicted, the reputation of her daughter and son will be implicated.
"Mr. Prime Minister, Qinghuan, your aunt has made a big mistake this time. Your uncle will try to make up for the loss of the bank. Since Qingchi is still young, can you let your aunt go?"
"Uncle, don't worry. I haven't reported this to the police."
Second Uncle had been very good to her since she was a child, so Ruan Qinghuan naturally could not put him in an irretrievable situation. What she said just now was also meant to scare Zheng Qiaohui.
It seemed that she was really scared, so she lowered herself to beg her second uncle to come over and plead for mercy.
Ruan Chenglin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Ruan Qinghuan did not report to the police. Thinking that He'an was still there, he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself for the Prime Minister. Sigh..."
"Uncle, there are some things I shouldn't have said, but for so many years, you have been tolerant and protective of Aunt, but in the end, she became even more aggressive. You know, fortunately the bank incident was discovered in time. If there was a big mistake, what would happen to the Ruan family?"
The Ruan family's banks were spread all over the capital, and the amount of money deposited in them was astronomical. Once there was a mistake, the entire bank would be affected, and it would lose its credibility in the hearts of the people.
"By then, the Ruan family bank will no longer have integrity, and the people will rush to withdraw money. Once the silver chain breaks, the Ruan family's other businesses will also be affected. Second uncle, have you ever thought about this?"
Listening to Ruan Qinghuan's clear and logical analysis, He An on the side couldn't help but look at her twice more.
Ruan Chenglin lowered his head in shame and said, "Don't worry, your uncle will return the bank's losses and the private houses and properties that your aunt stole."
"Uncle, I'm not worried about the family property. Grandmother told me a long time ago that she still had some land deeds and farms that were originally reserved for Xiaoyue and Xiaorou. It was Second Aunt who thought that Grandmother was partial to them, so she secretly took them and changed their names."
"But business is business, and wealth is wealth. I hope my second uncle understands that if the two are mixed together, it will become a mess in the long run. It will be extremely difficult to make a comeback at that time."
Ruan Chenglin nodded continuously and unconsciously looked at his niece twice more. It had only been a few days since she married into the palace, but the way this girl spoke and acted seemed like a different person.
If it had been earlier, she would have been so angry that she would have reported the matter to the authorities without caring about anything else.
After seeing his second uncle off, Ruan Qinghuan felt a little depressed. He picked up his quilt and was about to leave, but He An closed the door.
Ruan Qinghuan frowned and looked defensive when he saw this.
He just waved his sleeves, and the lights in the room went out, and the room was plunged into darkness in an instant.
"He An, what are you doing?"
"Tsk..."
Her arms were empty, the quilt in her hands was taken away, and then the back window was opened, the moonlight poured in, and she could finally see the outline of the room clearly. Before Ruan Qinghuan could ask, the person was carried out of the window, and then jumped. By the time she reacted, the person was already on the roof.
Stunned Ruan Qinghuan held his breath subconsciously when he heard the whispers coming from the courtyard wall.
"Sister, cousin and brother-in-law are resting. It's not a good time for us to go there."
"What do you know? Only if you go now can you see the truth of the matter."
"But...but the lights are off. If we are discovered..."
"Waste, didn't you hear what mother said? The Prime Minister doesn't think highly of Ruan Qinghuan at all. As long as this is confirmed, we will see if she still dares to bully others in the family by relying on her status as the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"But how can we tell the difference..."
It was the voices of Ruan Xiaoyue and Ruan Xiaorou. Under the moonlight, Ruan Xiaorou, who was about to cry, pulled her sister's sleeve and shook her head. Ruan Xiaoyue shook her away and said, "Mother has suffered such a great injustice today, don't you want to seek revenge on Ruan Qinghuan?"
"But mother was wrong in the first place...ah..."
Ruan Xiaoyue pushed Ruan Xiaorou aside and sneaked into the yard.
He'an had already carried the person back to the room and was standing on the ground. Ruan Qinghuan couldn't calm down for a long time.
This Ruan Xiaoyue actually wanted to eavesdrop on her room. It was really a pity that she could think of such a thing.
Lost in deep thought, Ruan Qinghuan was thinking about how to deal with the situation until He'an appeared in front of her wearing only simple clothes. She then widened her eyes and slowly came back to her senses.
When did this guy take off his clothes?
Perhaps it was an accident, she almost instinctively reached out her hand and pulled his slightly open collar together: "Don't catch a cold, sir."
But the next second, the person was picked up and walked towards the bed.
