Chapter 033 Is this guy trying to attract hatred from her?
After finishing his work and coming out of the Prince's Mansion, it was already late. He'an wanted to go to the villa to pick up Ruan Qinghuan, but Jiang Ming said that she had been taken back to the mansion by her mother.
He An got on the carriage, and Jiang Ming said from outside: "Sir, the cousin is here."
"Miss cousin?"
"It's Miss Wei."
"Um."
Wei Mingxi hasn't been to Beijing for half a year. Why did he come at this time?
This cousin of his, who was one year younger than Ruan Qinghuan, was always chattering and very annoying, but her aunt had only one daughter, so her mother doted on her even more.
In the dining room, Wei Mingxi and his aunt were talking about family matters, ranging from his father's work to his parents' quarrels. Meng Suqiu frowned from time to time.
This girl was really talkative. After a while, Meng Suqiu got annoyed and interrupted her: "Mingxi, you have been a 15-year-old for a year, right? Are you engaged?"
"Aunt, Mingxi is still young and doesn't want to get married so early. Mingxi wants to stay with her parents and aunt."
"Silly girl, how can that be possible? Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. If you really stay at home and become an old maid, your mother will cry."
Wei Mingxi pouted her lips, looking somewhat lonely: "Aunt, why did my cousin suddenly marry Miss Ruan?"
"How can this be so sudden? The He and Ruan families arranged the marriage when they were young. It was only a matter of time before they got married."
"But...but my cousin obviously doesn't like Ruan Qinghuan, otherwise he wouldn't have delayed it for another two years after she came of age."
Meng Suqiu's face turned cold when she heard this: "Mingxi, it's true that you are An'er's cousin, but you should be tactful when speaking. It's not your place to say anything about your cousin and his wife. Do you understand?"
After saying this, Meng Suqiu sighed and felt a little annoyed.
Meng Suqiu knew what her niece was thinking. If He'an really liked her, she, as her aunt, would be happy to see it happen. But no one knows a child better than his mother, and An'er treated her no differently.
The sound of steady footsteps came closer and closer. He'an passed by the restaurant and didn't see Ruan Qinghuan, so he wanted to say hello to his mother and go back to Changchun Garden.
"Cousin..." Wei Mingxi went out first and took Hean's arm.
He An pulled his arm away and said, "My cousin is coming to visit us soon. Please spend more time with mother on weekdays."
"An'er, have you had dinner yet?"
"Not yet. I'm going to go see Qing Huan first."
"Okay, I'll have the food delivered to your room."
"Cousin, I just arrived. Can you tell me something new about Beijing?"
Wei Mingxi finally persuaded her parents to agree and came to Beijing. This was her last chance.
"Jiang Ming, if Miss Mingxi wants to know something, just tell her."
After saying that, He An walked quickly towards Changchun Garden. Wei Mingxi wanted to chase him but was stopped by Jiang Ming: "Miss, if you want to know anything, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
"Oh, I don't want to know anything."
Wei Mingxi got angry and came to Meng Suqiu and acted coquettishly: "Aunt, look at my cousin, he doesn't even pay attention to me."
"Mingxi, you are grown up now. You still have to keep the rules between men and women, otherwise it will be bad for your reputation." Meng Suqiu took her hand and said, "If you want to marry in the capital, your aunt will help you find someone in private, but don't even think about your cousin."
She knew what her son was like. Mingxi was no different from others. She was her niece, and Meng Suqiu didn't want her to be hurt.
"Aunt, you used to be the one who supported me the most, but why have you changed now?"
"Aunt loves you now, but we need to put things in perspective. You can't make any mistakes."
Wei Mingxi bit her lip.
"Your cousin already has a wife. You should be aware of this." This girl is just spoiled and does things without caring about others.
In Changchun Garden, the servant brought the meal and left. Ruan Qinghuan then opened her eyes in a daze. In fact, she woke up when someone opened the door just now, but just lay there and didn't want to move.
Hean changed into casual clothes and sat down beside the bed.
Ruan Qinghuan turned inside in a negative mood.
He An embraced him lovingly, and Ruan Qinghuan had to face him. He An said, "Have dinner before going to bed, dear."
"He'an, did you do this on purpose?"
She didn't go out the whole day, fearing that someone would see the marks on her neck, so she asked Xia Lian to take the dress to the fabric shop and have a high collar added to it.
Fortunately, she comes from the modern world and has seen many different styles of clothing. Otherwise, she might not be able to go out for five or six days.
He An heard this and said seriously: "I was careless."
careless?
How can you not be careful about something like this?
He was actually hit by an aphrodisiac incense, and he could rely on it to do anything. He himself never expected that the incense would have such a powerful effect.
He An kissed her forehead flatteringly, and carried her to the dining table like coaxing a child: "Tomorrow, the prince's mansion will hold a banquet, Madam, please come with me."
"tomorrow?"
The Second Prince just held a flower-viewing party in Taoyuan, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince followed suit with a banquet at his palace. Is it necessary to make the competition so obvious?
After looking at He An for a while, Ruan Qinghuan still couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart: "How is Liu Yueru's matter?"
"Prince Chen was confined to his house for two months, and the servant who had an affair with Liu Yueru was sentenced to death by beheading."
Ruan Qinghuan nodded. This was also expected.
"Also, the marriage between Liu Yueru and Mr. Qu has been confirmed and will be completed within three days."
"Ahem..." Ruan Qinghuan was surprised: "That Mr. Qu is still willing to marry me?"
"It's not about whether you are willing or not, you have to get it."
Ruan Qinghuan: “…”
If you don't accept it, it means you are disobeying the order, and disobeying the order is a capital crime.
The emperor wanted to save the second prince's face and calm the matter down, not wanting the royal family to suffer any damage.
"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a knock on the door: "Cousin, it's Mingxi, open the door, cousin."
Ruan Qinghuan glanced at He'an, and He'an frowned: "Mingxi is young and doesn't know much about the rules. I will tell my mother tomorrow and teach her a lesson."
"No, don't. She just came tonight. If you go tell mother the same thing tomorrow, it will seem like I'm causing trouble." Ruan Qinghuan had almost finished eating, and she didn't look like she was in a position to see anyone, so she simply hid back in bed and drew the curtains.
He'an opened the door and Wei Mingxi walked straight in.
He An was a little unhappy: "Mingxi, if you have nothing to do in the future, don't come to Changchun Garden. Your sister-in-law likes quietness."
Ruan Qinghuan on the bed: "..."
Is this guy trying to attract hatred to her?
When did she say this?
Sure enough, Wei Mingxi was unhappy when he heard this: "I came here to see my aunt and cousin. Does my sister-in-law want to kick me out?"
Seeing He'an's cold face, Wei Mingxi's attitude became more restrained, and he handed a purse to He'an: "Cousin, this took me half a month to embroider, and I'm giving it to you."
He An: "No need, your sister-in-law gave me many, you can keep this one for yourself."
Ruan Qinghuan suppressed her anger and took a deep breath. She couldn't even thread a needle, so when had she ever given him a purse?
Seeing that he refused to accept it, Wei Mingxi was greatly depressed and looked at the curtain coldly: "Humph, sister-in-law is used to catching men's tricks. She doesn't get out of bed day and night. Aren't you afraid that my aunt will find out and scold you for being shameless."
"That's enough." He An shouted angrily.
Now Wei Mingxi was scared. His eyelashes fluttered and his eyes turned red. He stomped his feet in anger and ran out.
