Chapter 019 Did he come here on purpose to cause trouble today?

It was a long spring night and a light rain was falling outside. Looking out the back window, I could see a few willow branches reaching out to the window.

Ruan Qinghuan had been busy all day in East Street and was very tired, but he was in a very good mood.

Knowing that He'an was not at home, she no longer cared and took a leisurely bath in the bathroom to relieve her fatigue: "Xia Lian, you are covered in dust after cleaning the shop today. You should go back to your room and take a shower, and then go to bed early. You have an appointment with the craftsmen tomorrow, so you have to go out early."

"Yes, Miss, if you need anything, please call me."

Ruan Qinghuan yawned, thinking that when his cousin He'an came to the mansion, he would find an excuse to go back to the Ruan Mansion to stay for a few days and give his mother a big surprise.

I was thinking about what gifts I should prepare for my mother and grandmother when I return. The Ruan family is wealthy and has everything they need. It would be difficult for the family to just give expensive gifts.

A gust of night wind blew, and Ruan Qinghuan had an idea. The weather was getting hotter, so she would embroider two fans for her mother and grandmother, so that when they fanned themselves in the hot weather, they would think of her.

Just when she was feeling happy, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Ruan Qinghuan was startled.

Turning back, she saw He An, who was drunk, looking at her with dark eyes. Ruan Qingnan was panicked: "Husband, you are back. I will wash up now and ask someone to prepare sobering tea for you right away."

He'an still stood there, motionless.

Ruan Qinghuan smiled nervously: "How about you wait for me outside first?"

"Outside?" He An's eyes were cold: "I can't even go back to my own room?"

Ruan Qinghuan: “…”

Did he come here on purpose to cause trouble today?

"No... I'm not convenient now... ah..."

Before Ruan Qinghuan could finish her words, He'an had already come to the bathtub and pulled her out of the water. Ruan Qinghuan was so scared that she screamed. The cool breeze seemed to blow directly into her head, and she was completely dazed.

"What do you have? I haven't seen your true face yet, what are you afraid of?" He An pinched her chin and came forward: "Or, do you have someone else in your heart?"

Ruan Qinghuan: "My Lord is drunk, please let me go first, and we can talk it out."

He An looked like he wanted to eat her. Ruan Qinghuan couldn't help but tremble. He hadn't shown up for a few days. What happened to him today?

Ignoring that her wet hair had wet his robe, He An held her in his arms, clamping his strong hands around her waist to prevent her from falling like last time.

The place touched by He'an seemed to be on fire. Ruan Qinghuan struggled hard: "He'an, you are drunk, let me go first."

Throwing her on the bed, Ruan Qinghuan quickly fled, trying to get the clothes behind the screen, but He An pulled her back effortlessly, his face becoming even uglier: "Do you really want to escape?"

"I didn't." Ruan Qinghuan's heart was beating fast. She didn't know what happened and could only explain it randomly.

"No?" He An let go of her again, his eyes becoming more dangerous.

This time, Ruan Qinghuan didn't dare to run away, but her eyes were red with anger. She let He'an's gaze wander over her, a strong feeling of humiliation surged in her heart.

Why, why did he treat her like this?

Ruan Qinghuan clenched her fists, but her only remaining rationality told her that she should not anger a wild beast. She tried to keep her tone calm: "Sir, what did I do to make you so angry? Can you please explain clearly?"

He An was confident that he had the prey under his control. Instead, he sat on the bed and pulled Ruan Qinghuan into his arms: "What did Madam do that you have to ask me?"

"If, Your Excellency doesn't like me doing business, I can stop doing it." Ruan Qinghuan thought for a long time. Apart from the fact that he was busy with the shop in the east of the city recently, he couldn't think of anything else.

He An's hands restlessly embraced her: "What if I say, let you be my wife?"

Ruan Qinghuan's eyes narrowed when he heard this.

Her silence made He'an's anger, which had been extinguished, rise again. He thought that she wanted to escape, and it must be for another man.

"Calm down, sir. I'll pour you a cup of tea."

After getting out of He'an's control, Ruan Qinghuan first put on simple clothes, then poured a cup of tea, handed it to He'an and said, "It's so late, I'll go prepare some midnight snacks for you, sir."

Although she tried her best to keep her steps steady, how could Hean notice her eagerness to leave?

Just as she was about to touch the door frame, He An grabbed her and pressed Ruan Qinghuan against the door frame, kissing her lips domineeringly and angrily.

The simple clothes she was wearing were already very thin, and with a "hiss" sound, they were torn into pieces by He An.

Ruan Qinghuan was completely stunned, and finally managed to break free: "He'an, He'an, wake up a little..."

As his clothes fell off, Ruan Qinghuan's heart sank to the bottom. He had lost control, and was filled with rage, wishing he could tear her apart...

But what had she done to make him so angry?

"ah……"

The screams echoed throughout the entire Changchun Garden and could naturally be heard in the neighboring courtyards as well.

Jiang Ming and Jiang Qi, who were standing outside the door, looked at each other and retreated out of the courtyard tacitly.

Xia Lian heard the voice and ran over in panic, knocking on the door and calling out to Ruan Qinghuan, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Just as I was about to push the door open, I heard an adult's voice coming from inside: "Get out..."

Xia Lian was shocked.

Ruan Qinghuan couldn't hold back her tears, but she forced herself not to make a sound.

At this moment, he suddenly calmed down a lot. Seeing her painful and forbearing look, He An felt a little distressed: "You should be obedient."

"You fucking bastard." Ruan Qinghuan shed tears in the tearing pain.

He An: “…”

In her twenty-six years of life, she was the first one who dared to scold him like this.

In the side courtyard, the maid said excitedly: "Young lady, look, it must be that Ruan Qinghuan's affair has been exposed."

"It's all her own fault." Liu Yueru smiled complacently: "It's just that the Master has such a good temper that he only hit her once?"

"If she was caught doing such a shameful thing, she would have been beaten, and she dared not speak out."

Just when the two were feeling proud, they suddenly realized that the crying in the next yard was a little strange...

The sky was turning white. Xia Lian had been crying outside the door all night. Seeing someone from the kitchen coming to bring her some hot water, Jiang Ming advised her, "Look at you. Why are you crying?"

Xia Lian suddenly stood up, glared at Jiang Ming fiercely, then stepped on the back of his foot and went to prepare clothes for his wife while sobbing.

Jiang Ming grimaced in pain, thinking that good people never get rewarded.

There was a commotion in the room all night yesterday. Listening to the young mistress's heart-wrenching voice, Xia Lian just hated herself for being useless and not daring to rush in to save her.

Jiang Ming limped over and said, "Okay, stop crying. This is all normal."

"Humph, all men are bad." Xia Lian repeated the lines she had heard from the storyteller.

Jiang Ming: “…”

Who did he offend?

Ruan Qinghuan struggled to get up from the bed, and He An held her in his arms: "Be obedient."

Ruan Qinghuan didn't want to say a word. She hugged his arm and bit him. He An frowned but didn't dodge. When she let go, a blood mark was left on her forearm.

"Are you relieved?"

"My Lord is relieved." She wanted to leave the room immediately, but was pulled back by He'an again. This time, Ruan Qinghuan broke down: "He'an, you are a bastard... mmm... mmm..."

After scolding, she seemed to have lost all her temper and started crying while sitting on the bed.
