Chapter 41 My cousin fell into the lake

Ruan Qinghuan had imagined the scene of the reluctant farewell after ten miles in his mind countless times, but he never expected that when the day really came, it would be missed so unexpectedly.

Now, her family members and husband's family members all think that she had to follow He'an, and this is what makes her upset.

Given Ruan Qingzhou's personality, if he knew that she was forced to go there, he would definitely take her directly back to the Ruan Mansion. In that case, not only the Ruan family, but also the Prime Minister's Mansion would be in chaos.

After weighing the pros and cons in a short time, Ruan Qinghuan decided to make three rules with him: "This time you are out, it's different from being at home, you have to be more restrained. In addition, when you arrive in Lucheng, no matter what you do, you must pay attention to safety. And the most important thing..."

"I will definitely satisfy my wife. Don't keep your family waiting for too long. My father-in-law and mother-in-law should be here by now."

Ruan Qinghuan frowned and glared at him.

He An: "I will be gone for several months, so they won't worry about me."

It's really useless that Hean used all his brain to plot against her.

Zhou Yunzhi learned that her daughter was going to Lucheng with her parents, and thought that she had to go with them. She was somewhat worried when she heard that the disaster in Lucheng was serious, and she privately scolded her, "You little girl, how can you be so ignorant? Your parents are going on a business trip, but you insisted on going with them."

Meng Suqiu came over and tried to help Ruan Qinghuan put in a good word: "Don't talk about Qinghuan, my dear. In my opinion, it's He'an who can't leave Qinghuan. After all, they just got married, and it's human nature to be affectionate."

"Mother-in-law, everyone in the capital knows what kind of person the master is. Don't protect her anymore. Be careful that she might spoil you in the future. You won't be able to control her."

Ruan Qinghuan sighed.

The original owner's personality had trapped her. Even her mother thought that she was the one who was being stubborn and relying on her husband.

Let the whole capital know his character. Bah, that’s because the people of the capital have never seen what he looks like in bed.

After the farewell ceremony, several horse-drawn carriages were packed to the brim. Even the carriage carrying Ruan Qinghuan and He'an had two wooden compartments filled with Ruan Qinghuan's favorite delicacies, which were obviously carefully prepared by his mother.

A surge of emotion welled up in her heart, and Ruan Qinghuan had the urge to cry, but fortunately she suppressed it.

When his younger brother Qingzhou heard that he was not allowed to go with them, he was not very happy: "Sister..."

Ruan Qinghuan knew what he was thinking and interrupted him, "You little brat, I'm not in the capital, you have to take good care of mom at home and don't let her get wronged, do you understand?"

This time, Ruan Qingzhou shut up.

He knew the situation of the Ruan family. His father was unreliable, his second aunt was arrogant and unreasonable, and his mother was embarrassed and couldn't let go of the quarrel with them...

If not for this, my sister wouldn't have become so powerful.

The carriage slowly turned around and drove away. Zhou Yunzhi finally burst into tears after trying so hard to hold back. Ruan Chengfu advised her, "Why are you crying? You have an adult to accompany you, so what are you worried about?"

Zhou Yunzhi glared at him without saying anything.

Meng Suqiu was not much better. She understood the Ruan family's situation and her mother-in-law's situation, and she also disliked her father-in-law: "What did you say, father-in-law, is that a mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles? Can you just brush it off with a few words?"

Ruan Chengfu immediately lost his confidence: "My mother-in-law is right, that's right."

He Qizhan winked at his father-in-law. At this moment, he didn't dare to rush into the muzzle of a gun. If things went wrong, once his son and daughter-in-law went out, he would have nothing to eat for dinner tonight.

With the lady's order, which chef in the prime minister's mansion would dare to cook for him?

Meng Suqiu invited everyone into the mansion. The two mothers-in-law walked and cried, while the two behind them did not know whether to laugh or cry, and did not dare to say much. Ruan Qingzhou had nothing to do, so he wandered around the mansion.

As I walked, I came to a courtyard. Seeing the three words "Changchun Garden", I realized that this was where my sister and brother-in-law lived, and I felt even more depressed.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, I heard someone talking in the yard next to me.

"If it weren't for the fact that my cousin and Ruan Qinghuan were betrothed, given how much my aunt loves me, I might have already been the mistress of the Xiangfu, and there would be no need for Ruan Qinghuan."

As she spoke, her voice choked up: "It's all right now. My cousin is completely obsessed with her. It shows how scheming she is."

"Miss, please stop crying. You'll get sick if you keep getting angry."

"Humph, she promised to let me go to Changchun Garden to embroider, but the next day she moved to another courtyard with my cousin. Isn't this obviously a joke?"

"Mmm...mm..." Wei Mingxi wiped her tears and said firmly, "Ruan Qinghuan is just too scheming. My cousin must have been deceived by her..."

"What's the matter between husband and wife, what does it have to do with you, an outsider?"

The sudden voice startled Wei Mingxi and the maid. When they looked up, they saw a stranger and shouted angrily, "Who are you? You are so brave to enter the backyard of the prime minister's mansion."

"Who I am is none of your business. I was going to ask you something else. You are a girl living in someone else's house, thinking about someone else's husband. You have no shame in that."

"You you you..." Wei Mingxi was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The maid said bravely, "My young lady is the old lady's niece. She can stay here as long as she wants."

"Then the old lady knows that her niece is thinking about her son." Ruan Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and turned around provocatively: "I will go tell the old lady about this now and see if she will let you live here."

"You..." Seeing that he really left, Wei Mingxi subconsciously chased after him. Just when she was about to grab Ruan Qingzhou, the other party suddenly leaped lightly, turned twice in the air, and landed behind her.

Wei Mingxi was a little surprised that the other party knew kung fu.

Ruan Qingzhou smiled and said, "Why, are you scared?"

Although Wei Mingxi was a bit bold, she also knew that a woman's reputation was no joke. If it got out, and if her relationship with her cousin didn't work out, her life would be over.

"I'll give you money, but you can't talk nonsense."

Hearing the word "silver", Ruan Qingzhou smiled unkindly: "That depends on how much. I have a big appetite."

Wei Mingxi glared at the maid, who ran back to the room, took out a purse, and took out two banknotes: "Two hundred taels, all for you."

In the eyes of ordinary people, two hundred taels is indeed a lot, but Ruan Qingzhou grew up surrounded by money and watched the Ruan family’s account office handle money a lot when he was a child.

Not to mention two hundred taels, even two million taels would not be of much concern to him.

Seeing his sneer, Wei Mingxi was really panicked: "Don't be ignorant, two hundred taels is enough for an ordinary family to spend for several years."

Ruan Qingzhou didn't say anything, just frowned and shook his head, then he leaped lightly and flew over Wei Mingxi's head.

Wei Mingxi's face turned pale and she hurriedly chased after him. How could she possibly catch up with Ruan Qingzhou who knew Kung Fu? But she didn't dare to shout loudly, so she had to try her best. It was no secret that she liked her cousin, but it would be embarrassing if she made a big fuss with the Ruan family around.

Seeing him take a shortcut into the garden, Wei Mingxi followed him in.

Ruan Qingzhou stood by the lake and looked back at her, thinking, is this girl a little silly? He just said that casually, is she really going to complain to Old Madam He?

"Don't run. Let's talk about it. I can add a little more." Seeing him stop, Wei Mingxi didn't care about anything else and rushed forward.

The result was a "thump" sound...

"Help... um... help..."

Ruan Qingzhou, who was standing on top of the pavilion in the middle of the lake, heard the sound and turned around, only to see Wei Mingxi falling into the lake. Judging from the way she was struggling, she probably couldn't swim, otherwise she wouldn't have struggled further and further away from the shore.

The maid was terrified when she saw this and shouted in panic: "Help, someone come quickly, my cousin has fallen into the lake..."

Ruan Qingzhou let out a breath, flew up reluctantly, and dived into the lake.
