Chapter 156 How about I secretly come to find you at night?

Ruan Xiaoyue was completely panicked. This man was incredibly strong. During the struggle, she tore off his hairband, and his long hair fell down and landed on her face.

The man's presence so close to her made her hesitate: "You are so brave, I am the sister-in-law of the current prime minister, aren't you afraid..."

"What am I afraid of?" The man remained unmoved: "Isn't there a saying that goes... dying under the peony flowers makes you a romantic ghost?"

"Stop, let me go..." Ruan Xiaoyue was no longer as calm as before, her voice trembling so hard that it was almost inaudible: "Please let me go, I just... just want to find my husband..."

"Looking for my husband, am I not that?"

"you……"

With a sound of "hiss...", her dress was torn, and Ruan Xiaoyue stopped talking. She felt a burst of hot air in her ears: "Don't stop, scream louder."

Ruan Xiaoyue: “…”

She had indeed said before that she would find Pei Chong even at the cost of her life, but she never thought that she would be insulted like this.

But she insisted on entering this wolf's den.

This was the outcome she deserved for her stubbornness. Tears of humiliation fell from her eyes. In her heart, besides despair, she felt more regret.

Regret everything you have done and regret every day that has passed.

She suddenly didn't want to fight anymore. Her whole life was a joke anyway, so what if she was uglier?

She suddenly became quiet. The man was a little puzzled. He leaned on the bed and looked at her, with a cunning look in his eyes: "Why don't you fight anymore? Are you looking forward to what's going to happen next?"

"Shameless" Ruan Xiaoyue closed her eyes and tears fell.

Ruan Qinghuan's voice was still trembling: "Why, you don't want to continue? Or are you afraid that my husband will come and kill you?"

The evil man suddenly laughed: "You want to take my life by relying on him?"

The man spoke with contempt, but did not continue. He suddenly stood up and straightened the clothes that exposed his chest.

Ruan Xiaoyue waited for a long time, and seeing that he didn't move, she opened her eyes and found that he had got out of bed. She quickly got up and shrank to the corner of the bed.

Why is this person a little strange?

The man turned around, smashed the porcelain vase on the table, picked up the teapot on the table and walked back, pinching Ruan Xiaoyue's chin and pouring the tea into her mouth.

The incident happened suddenly. Ruan Xiaoyue was snorted so hard that she kept coughing. Her tattered dress got wet, making her look even more shabby, and the red bellyband underneath was faintly visible.

The water ran dry, and he threw the kettle on the ground. The sound of the kettle breaking scared Ruan Xiaoyue so much that her body trembled. She was enveloped by an unprecedented sense of crisis.

His intuition told him that the man in front of him was not just a follower: "You...you were sent by Pei Chong?"

"You are really frightened. I told you, he is nothing, not even worthy of pouring my night pot."

Ruan Xiaoyue: “…”

The man looked at Ruan Xiaohuan, who was soaked, without disguising his gaze. Finally, he fixed his eyes on the red shadow in front of him, where a peony flower was faintly visible.

Ruan Xiaoyue folded her hands over her chest and looked away.

The man frowned: "What's the use of blocking? You have to shout?"

Ruan Xiaoyue: “…”

Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, the man suddenly grabbed her ankle and pulled her back again. Ruan Qinghuan screamed in fright.

"That's right, just shout like that, louder..."

While Ruan Xiaoyue was struggling, he left again. This time, he sat on the stool beside the bed. He raised his hand and waved it. The room was dark, with only the creaking sound of the bed shaking.

Now she finally understood why he asked her to shout.

But why should he help himself?

**

Soon it was the third day, and the dishevelled attendant came to the side hall of the prefectural yamen and handed a bundle covered in mud to He Hongzhi: "Sir, this is what the woman said we found."

After opening the bundle and looking at the piles of banknotes and jewelry, He Hongzhi's frown, which had been furrowed for days, finally relaxed a little.

He took out two banknotes and handed them to him: "You have good ability to handle affairs. As long as you are loyal to this government, you will certainly benefit from it in the future."

"Thank you, sir."

It’s a pity for the Zhou family to be such a fat sheep. We can only look for another opportunity.

The current situation is unpredictable and it is not advisable to make any big moves. As for the Zhou family and the Feng family, as long as they stay in Jiangnan for one day, if they want to control them, won’t it be easy for them to do so in the future?

"Go and convert these banknotes into cash for emergency use."

The man took the banknote and went out the door, then came back after a while: "Sir, the Prime Minister is here."

"What?"

He Hongzhi was surprised. After thinking for a while, he took back the bundle of banknotes and said, "You go and greet them first. I'll be right back."

After walking a few steps, he ordered again: "Clean up what you did last night and don't let the adults find fault with you."

As long as He'an stays in the south of the Yangtze River, the silver will not be able to move.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain such a large amount, considering it is the Ruan family's property.

The door opened and Ruan Xiaoyue was huddled in a corner with a quilt covering her, her eyes red and her head lowered.

A new dress was thrown over to her: "Put it on and follow me out."

"You go out first."

"If I go out, what happened last night will be exposed. Besides, I have already seen and touched what I should and shouldn't see, what else do you have to do..."

"Stop talking."

Last night, not only was her dress torn, but it was also soaked with water. He simply pulled it all off. Although he said it was just a show to fool Ho Hung-chi, she was still very embarrassed to see him again.

But he was right, he did not come here alone, and if he went out now, he would be exposed.

Ruan Xiaoyue changed her clothes and got out of bed. She knelt down in front of the man and said, "No matter what your purpose is, Xiaoyue is grateful for your rescue last night."

"Don't do that." The man said in a rude manner, "I just don't like this place, and I don't want to do this under other people's eyes. Maybe one day when I'm interested, I'll come to you again."

"If you really want to repay me, just obey me when the time comes."

Ruan Xiaoyue: “…”

This person's words were extremely frivolous, and I didn't want to get involved with him anymore: "You can go now."

"Just leaving like that?"

Ruan Xiaoyue was puzzled.

The man came forward and hugged her shoulders irresistibly. While Ruan Xiaoyue was struggling, he had already opened the door and quickly kissed her on the lips.

"You..." Ruan Xiaoyue gritted her teeth.

After they walked a distance away, the man whispered in her ear: "If you want to perform a play, you have to do it in its entirety."

This scene was seen clearly by another follower who was guarding outside the door. He felt a little unhappy. How come such a good thing didn't happen to him?

Just as he was feeling anxious, he heard Jiang Er muttering, "Now that Miss Ruan is gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night. What should I do? How about I go to look for you secretly at night?"

Ruan Xiaoyue bit her lip.

But I couldn't help shaking. If he hadn't held me, I would have been unable to stand steadily.

How dare he?

He did nothing last night, so it was clearly a waste of time today.

The attendants beside him were already feeling jealous and urged, "Hurry up and leave. The Prime Minister is waiting for someone."

The man was not in a hurry. He slapped Ruan Xiaoyue's butt and threatened her, "When we go back, you should know what to say and what not to say. Madam, right?"
