Chapter 032 How can she face people?

Meng Suqiu didn't expect this to happen. Who told her that Qinghuan had returned to Ruan's house?

It’s that damn old man He Qi Zhang.

But why did the two of them not go back to the prime minister's residence but stayed in this villa for a night? What was going on?

Doesn’t this make people think?

It was Grandma Chen who stepped forward and gently pushed Meng Suqiu: "Old Madam, aren't you worried about the young mistress, so you came to the side courtyard to check on her?"

This was a good opportunity. Meng Suqiu put on a fierce look and came to the bedside: "Yes, Qingnan, you didn't come home last night. Mother was worried that you had a fight, so I came to check on you."

Ruan Qinghuan nodded hesitantly, but the way her mother-in-law came in didn't look like she was here to visit, but rather like she was here to arrest someone.

Her dream of sleeping for a whole day was shattered. Ruan Qinghuan opened the cupboard and found only one dress inside. She thought it was prepared for her by He'an in advance. After changing, she left the villa with her mother-in-law.

When Xia Lian came out after washing the clothes, the young lady was nowhere to be seen.

Along the way, Meng Suqiu bought supplements, jewelry, rouge and powder, and had a great time shopping. She was all smiles and in a very good mood.

Mrs. Chen and her husband were in front, and Ruan Qinghuan was yawning behind them. The main reason was that her legs were so sore that she really didn't want to move at all.

Granny Chen took the box containing the pearl head ornaments and whispered, "At this rate, the old lady will have a grandson in no time."

Meng Suqiu was even happier when she heard this: "That's right, I never thought that a fool like An'er would actually..."

"Old Madam is wrong. It seems that our Master really likes the Young Madam."

Meng Suqiu nodded, with a hint of relief in her eyes. Earlier, when her son was unwilling to marry the girl from the Ruan family, she had some thoughts on this.

As a girl from a merchant family, her status was very ordinary. In addition, it was rumored that this girl had a domineering personality and was unreasonable. She was also worried about whether she could get along well with An'er.

This marriage has been delayed for two years. Meng Suqiu is really surprised that the situation has turned out like this.

However, as long as the two of them have a good relationship, she will definitely be a good mother-in-law.

Meng Suqiu wanted to continue shopping, but was stopped by Mrs. Chen: "Madam, don't shop today."

"Why? I have a lot of things to buy for Qing Huan."

"Oh, old lady, look at the young lady, she is almost falling asleep while standing. I think she was too tired last night. Should we go back to the mansion and let the lady have a rest?"

Meng Suqiu was only concerned about her happiness, and after hearing what Grandma Chen said, she thought it made sense.

In the carriage, Ruan Qinghuan couldn't help but yawning again, and saw that the smile in her mother-in-law's eyes deepened.

"aunt."

As soon as he got off the carriage, a girl came out from the courtyard and trotted to Meng Suqiu's side.

"Mingxi?" Meng Suqiu was surprised.

Ruan Qinghuan raised her eyes when she heard that. It turned out that she was Wei Mingxi, the cousin of Hean's aunt.

Meng Suqiu pulled her in front of Ruan Qinghuan: "Mingxi, this is your sister-in-law, Ruan Qinghuan."

When he saw Ruan Qinghuan, Wei Mingxi immediately changed his expression: "Are you the girl from the Shangjia family who is obsessed with my cousin?"

"What are you talking about? This is your sister-in-law. Your brother loves her so much that he can't even begin to care for her."

Ruan Qinghuan really didn't have the energy to argue. Even if she wanted to argue, she had to wait until she fell asleep: "Mom, I'm going back to Changchun Garden first."

On the way back, Ruan Qinghuan was in a bad mood. Just after Liu Yueru left, Wei Mingxi came. Liu Yueru still knew how to pretend and acted gentle and virtuous, but Wei Mingxi was just a spoiled and darling girl.

A typical example of someone who is not destined to be a princess, but has princess syndrome.

Her father was only a county magistrate, but she was able to act like a lady from a wealthy family and a noblewoman in the capital.

In the original book, after she came to the prime minister's residence, her main target of attack was Liu Yueru. Now that Liu Yueru is gone, no one knows what she will do next.

After returning to Changchun Garden, she unexpectedly saw marks on her body through the mirror while changing clothes. They were all over her body. No wonder Granny and Granny Chen looked at her strangely just now...

Ruan Qinghuan gritted her teeth in hatred. It was all He An's fault. How could she face people now?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Ruan Qinghuan lay straight on the bed. She was not stupid. He An had done it on purpose yesterday. He kept saying it would be the last time and tortured her like this until dawn...

After the court session, He An went to the Prince's residence. Several people entered the Prince's study. Ji Lingchuan said with relief: "The Emperor has confined the Second Prince for two months. This is a good thing. In this way, He An should be able to go to Lucheng more smoothly."

He An: "Not necessarily. Although the King of Chen cannot come out, the people working for him are still outside. We cannot take it lightly."

The prince sighed: "Since he failed to capture He'an this time, he is more likely to take a risk."

Ji Lingchuan frowned: "My troops need to sneak into Lucheng from other directions in batches. If they don't want to be discovered, they have to be distributed everywhere. This will take a certain amount of time. So, I will leave first, and He'an will set off in five days."

He'an and the Crown Prince both agreed to do so. Only if Ji Lingchuan's troops were arranged properly would there be hope of capturing the Second Prince's private soldiers in one fell swoop.

He An: "From now on, I will have to cover for General Ji."

He must not let the Second Prince know about the leakage of his private soldiers, so He'an had to put in some superficial efforts. He and the Crown Prince looked at each other, and the Crown Prince understood what he meant.

"Mr. Prime Minister, do you want to paralyze King Chen?"

"This requires the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ji Lingchuan couldn't stand such silence: "What on earth do you mean? Can you explain it more clearly? It makes me anxious."

He An didn't say anything.

The prince took a bottle of wine from the cabinet and threw it to Ji Lingchuan: "That is to let Prince Chen think that we took over Lucheng for the sake of seeking credit."

Take credit?

He An: "Now that we have the opportunity to take credit, shouldn't we celebrate first?"

Seeing that Ji Lingchuan still didn't understand, the prince got straight to the point and said, "You will leave the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow the prince's residence will hold a banquet to entertain officials and their relatives. It will depend on your performance then."

See his performance?

Ji Lingchuan just felt that the two of them looked like they were holding back something bad.

Ji Lingchuan put the wine glass back on the table, staring at He An for a long time with a defensive look in his eyes before he raised his eyes.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I just want to find an excuse for you to leave Beijing."

Ji Lingchuan: “…”

Under normal circumstances, he would have left the capital without any hesitation, but now He'an was going to Lucheng, and if he followed him out of the capital, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the Second Prince.

But what the Crown Prince and He An said today left him completely confused: "What can I show? I have to keep a low profile, otherwise I will definitely attract attention if I leave the capital."

The prince said: "That's why you can't keep a low profile. If you perform well tomorrow, you can leave the capital with a legitimate reason."

Hean nodded.

"No, then you have to let me know what's going on... Hey hey..."

He An stood up and left. The prince patted him on the shoulder and said, "I am going to go see the Crown Princess. We will talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow."

Ji Lingchuan: “…”
