Chapter 183 Extra 1 Only one noble person?

Three years later, Jiangnan was thriving. In the inner courtyard of the palace, Ruan Qinghuan sneaked out of the yard, and then crying was heard from the room. Then the door opened, and a staggering little guy ran out unsteadily.

The nurse who was looking after the child said helplessly: "Madam, the eldest son is still easy to deal with, but the young lady is crying and it is really hard to comfort her."

Ruan Qinghuan sighed helplessly. It had only been three short years, but she still felt like she was living in a dream.

How come these two troublesome little things appeared?

"Mommy, give me a hug." Before she knew it, her son had come to her side, grabbed her skirt, tilted his head back, looking so cute.

Another wet nurse brought the daughter out. When the little girl saw her mother, she stopped crying and stretched out her two little arms to ask for a hug.

He is truly the reincarnation of a dramatic actor!

Ruan Qinghuan held one child in each arms, and although she was smiling, her expression looked uglier than crying.

It's been three years, and she just wants to go out shopping, why is it so difficult?

When He'an came back from his busy government affairs, he saw her looking aggrieved. He then saw that she was having a hard time holding the two babies, so he hurried forward to take them.

When the little daughter saw He'an, she immediately smiled like a flower, but her articulation was not clear yet, so she called "daddy" "ta-ta".

Despite this, He'an was still smiling happily, looking like a slave girl.

While coaxing the child, he also did not forget to coax his wife: "Madam, you must have heard that Xiaoyue opened a new shop in Qizhou, so you want to go and take a look?"

Ruan Qinghuan sighed. It seemed that it would be difficult for her to go out at the moment.

He'an knew that she had given birth to two sons in three years and had to stay in the mansion to recuperate and take care of the children. She must have been depressed, so he came back early today and planned to take her to Qizhou.

"Madam, we will stay in Qizhou for a while. I will take care of Yueyue and Chenger. You can just have fun and relax."

"Really?" Ruan Qinghuan was excited, but soon calmed down: "Forget it, I'm afraid that the prince will be anxious to come back after just two days."

"Don't worry, Madam. I have handled everything properly this time and will not spoil your interest."

Ruan Qinghuan: “…”

It has been three years. She thought she could travel and enjoy the scenery anytime she wanted while staying in Jiangnan. However, except for the time when she gave birth to her child, she was too tired by He An to move.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have given birth to two children in three years, forcing her to stay in the house and unable to move.

He'an is so cunning that he has her trapped in his trap. This time when she has the chance to go to Qizhou, she will not be polite at all.

In Qizhou, the business of Xiaoyue Cloth Shop was booming. Ruan Xiaoyue was sitting in a room on the second floor looking at the account book when a clerk downstairs came to report: "Boss, someone from the prefecture government office came to say that the prefect's family wanted to order a batch of new clothes for the changing season and asked them to come and get measured."

The prefectural government?

Ruan Xiaoyue had been in Qizhou for three years and had never dealt with the government. Hearing this, he couldn't help feeling a little pressured.

It is not easy to earn money from the government, but if you don't accept it, you will seem to be ignorant of manners.

After thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Then arrange for the best embroiderer in the store to go there. She must be careful and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"The people in the government office said that they can't trust the embroiderer in the shop, so you should go there in person." The clerk worriedly said, "Shopkeeper, although the prefect is relatively honest, it is said that he is fickle and has not married yet at his age. I heard that those who took the initiative to propose marriage were all turned back. You can't be sure..."

Ruan Xiaoyue wondered, "What can't be guaranteed?"

The clerk hesitated and said, "It's possible that Qi is a person with a hidden disease. I heard that such people are extremely violent. The shopkeeper must not offend him."

Ruan Xiaoyue had heard of these rumors, but since she had been in Qizhou for three years and had no connection with them, she didn't take them too seriously.

She was increasingly unwilling to take this business.

But no matter what, I have to go this time. I can just find an excuse to postpone it when the time comes.

The gate of Lu's mansion was opened wide, and the servant who went to deliver the message came back soon, accompanied by an old mother.

Ruan Xiaoyue blessed herself.

The old mother looked kind and said, "Please go in, young lady."

On the way to the backyard, Ruan Xiaoyue asked, "I wonder which nobleman in the mansion wants to make new clothes in a hurry."

"There is only one noble lady in the mansion, and the rest are servants and maids." The old mother replied, "The servants and maids are ready, and the young lady can go and measure her first. As for the noble lady, she is busy now, so I am afraid you will have to wait a little longer."

Ruan Xiaoyue: “…”

Only one nobleman?

It's really hard to turn down this business. If it's a piece of clothing for a distinguished guest, I can still use the excuse that there's not enough selected fabric, or the pattern is complicated and I can't deliver it on time, but if it's just one piece, this excuse is definitely not acceptable.

If her Xiaoyue Cloth Shop couldn't even make clothes for the servants, she would have no reputation in Qizhou in the future.

When they arrived at a door, the mother-in-law said, "Miss, everyone is waiting inside. Please measure yourself first. I will go and ask you when we can measure your body."

"Thank you for your help."

There were not many servants in the Lu Mansion, only a dozen in the inner courtyard and six or seven in the outer courtyard, and the measurement was completed quickly.

At this moment, the sky was gradually getting dark. The maid changed the pot of hot tea for her. Ruan Xiaoyue waited anxiously: "Miss, the mother-in-law hasn't come back yet?"

"Not yet, wait a moment, girl." Then he left.

Ruan Xiaoyue looked around the not-so-small room. She was the only one there at the moment, so she thought of going outside to get some fresh air. Just as she was about to open the door, it was pushed open.

The sudden scene frightened her so much that when she saw the person coming in, she forgot to react except for the shock in her eyes.

"you……"

The other party seemed not to recognize her, walked around the room, raised his arm and said: "Sorry to have kept Manager Ruan waiting for a long time, please measure it."

Ruan Xiaoyue regained her composure and took out the tape measure as if nothing had happened, but her hand was still shaking with nervousness as she stretched it out.

She had a big question mark in her mind.

Why is he here?

What is his relationship with the prefect?

When Ruan Xiaoyue stood in front of him, he lowered his eyes slightly and saw that she pursed her lips slightly, her eyes flickered, and she seemed serious, but in fact she was nervous.

When he finally measured her waist, he suddenly lowered his arm and held her in front of him: "I think the young lady looks familiar to me."

This government?

Is he the prefect?

Ruan Xiaoyue struggled a few times but couldn't break free: "There are many people who look similar. My Lord must have recognized the wrong person."

"Really?" Jiang Chen suddenly lowered his head: "Then let me take a good look?"

Ruan Xiaoyue pulled her arm out with all her strength, took a few steps back, hit the door sill, lost her balance and fell backwards.

Fortunately, he pulled me back, otherwise I would have fallen hard.

But the other party obviously didn't intend to pull her up, so he just let her stay in the position where she couldn't fall down or get up: "What are you doing? Why don't you pull me up?"

"I just want to see if you are the old friend I knew before."

"I am not."

"Forget it, I never do business at a loss. Since you are not my old friend, why should I save you?" After saying this, he actually let go of her hand.

Ruan Xiaoyue screamed in surprise and closed his eyes. Just as he fell, a force lifted him up and turned him over quickly.

When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on Jiang Chen.

At the same time, the mother who had led the way earlier and several maids came in with trays. They were ordered to deliver dinner and were all stunned when they saw this scene.

The maids lowered their heads in fear, but the old mother came to her senses and started laughing.

Ruan Xiaoyue stood up hurriedly, glared at Jiang Chen on the ground and was about to leave. Just as she reached the door, she heard a familiar voice.
