Chapter 055 Try a Different Melon

Being forcibly carried to the side room by him, Ruan Qinghuan wanted to discuss it again: "My Lord, you have important things to do tomorrow, why don't you go to bed early?"

He An: "As a husband, I know what's going on."

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Ruan Qinghuan could only plead, "I don't know when the child will wake up. I have to go back soon."

The implication is that He'an should save some and not always have enough.

But the reality is that He An just doesn't have enough. When she thinks about stopping and having to take care of her children, she feels inexplicably sad.

The sounds of interlaced breathing in the room came one after another. Ruan Qinghuan's slender waist was held in He An's hands, and it was so soft.

This had happened for who knows how many times. Ruan Qinghuan had made up her mind that she must go back after this time, but He An refused and held her tightly.

After a while, Ruan Qinghuan felt that he had changed again, and she wanted to cry: "Sir, wait a little longer, it will be dawn."

"It's not light yet."

"But the child..."

Before she could finish, He An came forward and asked, "Aren't you awake yet?"

Ruan Qinghuan's low moan was not loud at first, but it was very clear in the quiet night. He An himself didn't know why it was so different for her.

She can stir his emotions, attract his attention, and even stimulate his desire...making him unable to stop.

Just when He An was feeling lucky that the child was sleeping soundly and not disturbing him, crying sound came from next door. Ruan Qinghuan became anxious and wanted to push He An away and get up.

But at this time, what will happen to He'an if she leaves?

The hand holding her waist became even stronger, and Ruan Qinghuan couldn't break free. She felt as if she was becoming lighter and lighter. Under the strong stimulation, she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

Finally it was over. Ruan Qinghuan gasped for breath, forced himself to stand up, cleaned up briefly, and glared at He An: "You are really capable, sir."

He An: “…”

That doesn't sound like a good thing.

My legs were so sore and when I returned to the room I realized that the child was crying because he had wet the bed.

I changed to a clean mattress and fell asleep again in a short while.

Ruan Qinghuan was also exhausted. He let out a tired breath and felt a little drowsy.

On the fifth day after arriving in Lucheng, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Mr. Qian, held a banquet at his home to entertain He'an and a group of officials. Ruan Qinghuan didn't want to go, but He'an insisted that she go with him. She had no choice but to hand Xiaobao to Xia Lian and accompany He'an to Qian's house.

In the carriage, He An talked about the situation of the Qian family. It turned out that the reason why Lord Qian resigned was that he was worried that he would get deeper and deeper into trouble. Since the Ministry of Revenue was handed over to the Second Prince, there have been constant problems with the accounts.

If this continued, the hole would get bigger and bigger. In order to avoid being implicated, Qian resigned from his post on the pretext of illness and returned to his hometown to retire.

Having served as an official in the capital for many years, he had accumulated a considerable fortune. When he returned, he bought land and a shop, and his life was fairly comfortable.

Ruan Qinghuan: "Master Qian is a wise man."

As an official in Beijing, if you can give up your official position and withdraw from it early, and not be greedy at all, I am afraid that many people will find it difficult to do so.

"Well, this time the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the disaster money, which means he is planning to mobilize the Ministry of Revenue."

Ruan Qinghuan nodded: "The Qian family has escaped a disaster."

Thinking about what he heard in the Rouge Shop that day, the thing that worries Lord Qian the most right now is probably his daughter's marriage.

In this era, girls usually got married when they reached the age of 15. Miss Qian was still unmarried at the age of seventeen. It was no wonder that Mr. and Mrs. Qian were anxious, just like her mother was at the beginning.

She and He'an were engaged at birth, and the He family postponed the wedding date until she was eighteen years old. Her mother had already thought about breaking off the marriage.

But after several unsuccessful attempts, Ruan Qinghuan finally married He An by accident.

Unlike the original owners, the two became a real couple.

At the gate of Qian's mansion, County Magistrate Bao and Lord Qian were already guarding there early, along with Ji Lingchuan.

As soon as Ji Lingchuan saw He An, he went forward to greet her, but he only greeted Ruan Qinghuan: "Meet my sister-in-law."

"General Ji, you are too polite."

Ruan Qinghuan suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had known that Ji Lingchuan was here, she should have called Chu Li.

The Qian family's residence should be one of the first or second in Lucheng, with four courtyards and is very spacious.

Walking towards the main hall, I met a woman head-on. She had pretty features, and her eyes were filled with excitement and shyness. I didn't need to guess, I knew it must be Qian Yunxi.

To confirm his thoughts, Ruan Qinghuan glanced at Ji Lingchuan and found that he was winking at He An frantically, which further confirmed Ruan Qinghuan's guess.

"Yun Xi has met the Prime Minister, the Young Madam, and General Ji."

He An: "Miss Qian, there's no need to be so polite."

When Lord Qian saw his daughter coming out, he seemed unhappy: "Go to the backyard and tell the cooks to cook carefully. The guests coming today are distinguished guests."

Qian Yunxi saw that her father was about to send her away. Just as she was about to retort, she saw her mother chasing after her, grabbing her wrist and greeting He'an and others.

Then he took Qian Yunxi away.

This operation made Ruan Qinghuan a little confused.

It seems that this Lord Qian is different from Lord Qi. He does not want his daughter to have anything to do with He An.

Several people first talked in the hall. Although Lord Qian was a Beijing official in the past, he did not mention a word about state affairs, but only talked about some irrelevant gossip.

It was almost noon when the group of people went to the dining room. Master Qian asked the servant beside him, "Look, have the other two distinguished guests arrived?"

Ji Lingchuan: "Who is it that Mr. Qian can call him a distinguished guest?"

"General Ji, you don't know that the grain for the disaster in Lucheng this time was purchased by the court from Jiangnan, and the family that was chosen was the Feng family, a big grain merchant."

"Feng family?" Ji Lingchuan felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before: "This batch of disaster relief grain is huge in quantity, which shows that they have some strength."

"That's true. There are four major clans in Jiangnan. The Zhou and Feng families are based on business, the He family is based on official business, and the Qin family is based on water transport."

After hearing this, Ji Lingchuan became a little curious about this Master Feng.

Ruan Qinghuan on the side was a little surprised. Isn’t Mr. Feng Chu Li’s cousin?

After a while, the servant led the two people to the dining room. Ji Lingchuan was very curious and stretched his neck to look. Because of the bonsai in the yard blocking the view, when people came closer, he found that they were a man and a woman.

The man has a handsome figure and a distinguished demeanor, but he does not have the shrewd calculations of an ordinary businessman. And the woman next to him... why does she look a little familiar?

"Master Feng is here." Lord Qian stood up and went out to greet him.

Ji Lingchuan looked up at the woman who was talking and laughing with Master Feng, and his heart skipped a beat. Just as he stood up and tried to escape, Chu Li looked over here.

And then...there was no then.

Ji Lingchuan was a little confused. Didn’t she see him?

That shouldn't be the case. He is so handsome, tall and strong, I should be able to spot him at first sight, right?

After entering the restaurant, the dishes were almost served. Chu Li sat down next to Ruan Qinghuan, then waved to her cousin, and Feng Yi came over and sat down next to her.

Up to this moment, Chu Li looked at him countless times, but just smiled and nothing else, as if the two of them were not familiar with each other.

Ji Lingchuan secretly rejoiced, thinking that this girl finally came to terms with it and realized that a forced melon is not sweet, so she wanted to try a different melon.
