Chapter 012 How long do you want to escape

Ruan Qinghuan was kissed all over by He'an. The hand that was originally blocking her body was pulled away by him and he moved forward.

After finally getting a respite, Ruan Qinghuan used his remaining sanity to push him away. However, although He'an was a civil servant, he was also a martial arts expert, and Ruan Qinghuan's resistance was of no use to him.

"He'an, you didn't want to marry me..."

He An paused when he heard this, raised his head and looked down at Ruan Qinghuan who was panicking and breathing rapidly.

She was right. Before he met her, he was indeed not optimistic about this marriage.

In He'an's mind, a woman who can be in charge of the backyard of the prime minister's residence must be wise and calm, but Ruan Qinghuan has a reputation for being domineering and self-willed. Such a woman is not suitable for him.

The reason why he took a step back was not only because of his parents' orders, but also because the emperor intended to arrange a marriage for him. Princess Yihe was the second prince's sister. If she really became the second prince's consort, his position as prime minister would certainly be in jeopardy.

If this happens, the court will be thrown into turmoil, and the prince's situation will not be optimistic.

In the absence of a better choice, he chose Ruan Qinghuan, his ready-made fiancée.

He An's breathing was also rapid, and his eyes were a little scary. He held Ruan Qinghuan's waist tightly with his palms, feeling her nervous trembling: "I really didn't want to at first, but now, I have changed my mind."

Ruan Qinghuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. Why should she change just because he said so?

She also wants to start her own business and become rich!

Ruan Qinghuan didn't dare to struggle too much, fearing that it would irritate him: "He'an, can you calm down first? I'm hungry and want to eat breakfast."

He An narrowed his eyes slightly, showing obvious displeasure, and even tried to use a roundabout tactic. He said, "You are my wife, how long do you want to escape?"

He didn't want to have her so soon, but her resistance and desire to escape always aroused his displeasure and greed.

I’ve lived for twenty-six years, but this is the first time I’ve felt this way. This woman...she really knows how to torture me.

He An attributed her reaction to the fact that they did not consummate their marriage on the wedding night, which made her unhappy.

He leaned close to her ear and exhaled hot air: "I said I would make it up to you..."

The attempt to change the topic failed, He An became even more aggressive, and Ruan Qinghuan soon ran out of strength.

Just when they were about to break through the last bottom line, Jiang Ming's voice came from outside: "Sir, the old man and the old lady are back, and the prince's mansion has also sent a letter."

The time had come to prepare for action. He An wanted to continue without caring about anything, but Ruan Qinghuan begged, "Father and mother are back, I must go over to offer tea. If they knew it was this hour, they would... think that I, the daughter-in-law..."

It is a big taboo to seduce your husband to indulge in bed guards early in the morning.

He An frowned impatiently, closed his eyes, turned over, and hugged Ruan Qinghuan in his arms: "Wait for me in the evening..."

It was not until the sound of a door closing did Ruan Qinghuan seem to have recovered his breath, gasping for air.

Is He An crazy?

Why did it change suddenly?

You can't avoid the fifteenth day if you can't avoid him. If you continue like this, I don't know when he will eat you up completely.

The feeling was different when she returned home. Meng Suqiu leaned back in her chair, took the tea brought by the maid, and relaxedly put her legs on the small stool.

"In a blink of an eye, He'an will be entering the court as normal. I don't know how the couple will be doing in the next few days. By this time next year, will we be able to hold our grandchildren?"

He Qi Zhang teased the bird in the cage, looked around for a long time, and said angrily: "I have only been away for a few days, and the bird has become thin. I don't know how the servants take care of it."

Seeing that the old man didn't hear what she said, Meng Suqiu frowned: "Bird, bird, bird, you only know your bird."

"Look, look at you. You've already got your wife. You went to Fuyuan Temple this time and prayed for a fertility charm. The rest depends on luck. You can't rush this kind of thing."

Hearing this, Meng Suqiu was unhappy again: "This is all your fault. When He An was engaged to the Ruan family, he was unwilling in his heart. Can't you see it?"

Meng Suqiu was not too picky about her daughter-in-law. The Xiangfu was already the most powerful family in the capital and did not need to rely on marriage to consolidate its status.

Moreover, the court is full of twists and turns. If one is not careful, not only will one not be able to find support, but will be implicated by others instead.

There was nothing wrong with marrying a daughter of a Shangjia family who had no vested interests, but as a mother, she knew her son's temper best. If he really neglected his new bride, there was nothing she could do.

This kind of thing can't just be done as it is, right?

As the old couple was talking, a maid came to report: "Old Madam, Miss Yueru is here to see you."

Miss Yueru?

Meng Suqiu and He Qizhan looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised. How come there was a Miss Yueru when they had only been away from home for a few days?

As soon as Liu Yueru entered the Plum Garden, Ruan Qinghuan also arrived, and the two of them bumped into each other in the old lady's room.

Seeing her daughter-in-law, Meng Suqiu waved to her, and Ruan Qinghuan stepped forward and offered tea to her parents-in-law.

He Qizhang was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law, not only because she was an old friend of his father Ruan Chengfu, but also because his son's personality was too dull. Finding a lively and smart girl would add some life to the lifeless prime minister's mansion.

With outsiders present, Meng Suqiu could not rush to talk to her privately, so she asked Ruan Qinghuan: "Who is this Miss Liu..."

"Mother, Miss Liu is General Liu's sister. Your Excellency and General Liu are close friends. Now that General Liu is in trouble, you have brought Miss Liu into your residence."

He Qizhan and Meng Suqiu's faces immediately turned cold when they heard this. It had only been a few days since the wedding, and he already had a girl. How could this be?

If the news got out, people would laugh at him. He Qi Zhang slammed the table and said, "Who gave him the courage to bring him into the mansion?"

This slap startled Liu Yueru.

He quickly explained, "The old man and the old lady have misunderstood. Brother He took me in temporarily because he saw that I had no home to return to. Yueru was very grateful and specially prepared a gift to come and greet the two elders."

Meng Suqiu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Seeing the maid was about to bring the brocade box forward, He Qi Zhang pushed it away and said, "No need. Since you are the descendant of a loyal and righteous man, He An is taking care of you out of his friendship with General Liu. As for the gift, you should take it back."

"This is a small token of my appreciation. It is not something valuable. You two elders should accept it. Otherwise, I will feel bad."

Meng Suqiu politely declined the gift, which made Liu Yueru, who was trying to please her, feel embarrassed. However, this was exactly the attitude Meng Suqiu wanted to show Ruan Qinghuan.

He found an excuse and asked the maid to send Liu Yueru back to the guest room. Then he secretly looked at Ruan Qinghuan. Her reaction was too calm, like a bystander who had nothing to do with it.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Yue's action today has ulterior motives other than drinking.

Although Meng Suqiu was old, as a woman, she had seen a lot of jealousy and quarrels among the wealthy families. Normally, no one wanted to see such a situation, but it was not right to be too noncompetitive.

Seeing Meng Suqiu rubbing her arms and legs, the absent-minded Ruan Qinghuan suddenly had an idea. She changed her just cold attitude and squatted down enthusiastically to help her mother-in-law rub her legs: "Mom, I know a method of aromatherapy massage that is particularly effective in relieving fatigue. How about I try it on you tonight?"

"Okay, Mom also wants to talk to you about something, so come to Plum Garden tonight..."

"Mother, you'd better come to Changchun Garden, otherwise it will be too late and disturb father's rest."

Seeing this, He Qi Zhang was relieved and said, "Qing Huan is still sensible. Look at your son. He knew we were back and didn't come to see us."
