Chapter 82: Finding a Concubine for Me

After finally finishing the month-end accounts, Ruan Qingzhou wanted to go to bed early. However, just as he was feeling sleepy, he heard ghostly howling sounds coming from outside.

I was already in a irritable mood, and now I became even more annoyed. I simply went out and jumped onto the roof. After a while of flying, I finally found the source of the cry.

There were seven or eight people standing in the narrow alley, some of them had their faces covered, and the rest stood beside a woman, seemingly protecting her.

He was so bored that he was nervous. He didn't expect there would be something lively to watch. Ruan Qingzhou became interested. The only drawback was that it was a little dark and he couldn't see clearly.

It wasn't until he heard the woman's voice that his eyes widened in shock. This voice was clearly his sister's.

Ruan Qinghuan was worried about the two children, so he ordered, "Jiang Ming, go to the deep end of the alley to look for Zimo and Qingchi. Don't let anything happen to the children."

"yes."

Now, except for the masked man who was injured in the leg, the number of people confronting each other became three to two. Jiang Qi and Jiang Heng were in front and behind, protecting Ruan Qinghuan in the middle. Jiang Qi said coldly: "Do you want to be tied up by yourselves, or do you want us to beat you up first and then tie you up?"

"You are so arrogant. You look so skinny like monkeys. I advise you to have some self-awareness. Be careful or I will beat you up so badly that even your own father won't recognize you."

Jiang Qi has always been good at joking, and he started to fight without saying a word when he heard this.

It was obvious at first glance that these masked men were not professional thugs or killers, but rather thugs picked up from the streets. They didn't even see how the other party attacked before they were knocked to the ground.

Ruan Qinghuan, who had just landed, was very disappointed when he saw the situation: "A good opportunity to exercise my muscles is gone now."

Seeing his brother, Ruan Qinghuan was surprised: "Why are you here?"

"I was also wondering, why are you here?" He raised his hand and pointed to the east: "Your shop is just three alleys away."

Ruan Qinghuan looked in the direction of his finger, and unexpectedly ended up here.

Zimo and Qingchi were also found at this moment. Xia Lian saw several people lying on the ground and was terrified: "Madam, we chased the candy seller for a long time and he wouldn't stop no matter how much we shouted. I realized something was wrong and hid with Zimo and Qingchi."

“You did a great job.”

With a cry of pain, the guy who just spoke outrageously was grabbed by the arm by Jiang Qi and pressed hard behind him: "Tell me, who ordered what happened today?"

Zimo was startled. Seeing this, Ruan Qinghuan asked Jiang Ming to escort them back to the prime minister's residence first.

Ruan Qingzhou held a leaf he had picked up at random in his mouth and said, "There are so many evil spirits in this alley. Today we finally stopped hearing the sounds of fighting, but now this has happened again."

Fortunately, his sister was fine, otherwise, he would have killed these people.

"No one is instructing us to do this. We just want to steal some money."

"Robbering money?" Jiang Qi used more force, and the man fainted from the pain.

This lie might be able to fool ordinary people, but Jiang Qi, who was used to seeing cunning criminals in the prison, naturally knew that he was lying. If he had not planned it in advance, why would he set an ambush in this ghost place?

The people nearby were all shocked. Today's crime was just a robbery of a woman, how come such a powerful person appeared?

Seeing that the other party was a martial artist, they knew they were not someone they could afford to offend. The remaining two who were still dazed looked at each other and immediately knelt down: "Masters, please spare our lives. We are only doing this for money. We don't want to hurt anyone, we just want to scare them."

These people only told them that the person who hired them with money was a woman and that they should kidnap her to a house in the south of this alley. As for other things, they didn't know.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Qi was about to take action again, but was stopped by Jiang Heng: "There is plenty of time to deal with them, go ahead and explore the way first."

Ruan Qingzhou followed behind a few people, deep in thought, and suddenly an idea came to him: "Why don't you send me to that courtyard, then everything will be clear, right?"

Jiang Qi and Jiang Heng turned to look at him: "..."

Ruan Qingzhou: "My sister and I look quite similar, except that I am taller than her. Under the dark light, you may not be able to tell."

Ruan Qinghuan: "Stop making trouble."

"I'm not making trouble. I just want to see what bad intentions that Liu has." Ruan Qingzhou heard Jiang Qi say that the woman living in that courtyard was the woman that He'an brought into the prime minister's mansion on the day of his sister's wedding. He knew that she must have bad intentions, so he wanted to find out.

Jiang Heng thought this was feasible.

Deep in the alley, at the back door of a house that was more imposing than the others, a maid was looking out through the crack of the door. She didn't say until she saw a figure, "Is it done?"

"It's done. The person is here."

Jiang Heng and Jiang Qi entered the mansion smoothly. They were led by a maid to a side room, where they untied the sacks in their hands and threw them inside.

The maid handed a silver bag to the two people and said, "You must keep what happened today to yourself, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."

The two of them went out and came to the corner at the end of the wall. He An, with a dark face, had already arrived. He knew better than anyone who lived in this yard. His hands behind his back were clenched tightly, and it was obvious that he was holding back great anger.

Jiang Ming also came back at this time. Seeing that the master was holding his breath, no one dared to say anything. Fortunately, the master arranged for them to secretly protect the lady's safety, otherwise something big would have happened today.

In the courtyard, Liu Yueru, who was sitting in the hall, listened to the maid's report. She raised the corners of her scarred lips proudly and frowned slightly in pain.

Yesterday, just because she came back a little late, Qu Yuancheng beat her up without any reason, and this time even her face was bruised.

Humph, after tonight, the news of him secretly abducting the Prime Minister's wife will spread everywhere. Maybe it won't be until tomorrow morning. With He'an's ability, he might be able to find her soon.

Just when she was feeling proud, she suddenly heard bursts of howling coming from the side room in the inner courtyard. It sounded like Qu Yuancheng. Liu Yueru was frightened by his beatings, so she stood up subconsciously when she heard his voice.

What is going on?

Even if someone has to shout, shouldn't it be Ruan Qinghuan?

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and a group of people quickly crossed the path and ran straight into the hall. When Liu Yueru saw Ruan Qinghuan, she seemed to have seen a ghost: "Weren't you in the side room? When did you escape?"

After he finished speaking, he realized he had said something wrong and quickly covered his mouth.

At this moment, Qu Yuancheng, who was beaten black and blue, was brought out by Ruan Qingzhou. He no longer looked as majestic as he usually did in front of Liu Yueru. Instead, he hung his head like a little chick.

Ruan Qingzhou was so angry that his neck became thick and his face turned red. He rubbed his hands on his body again and again with disgust: "This couple is really perverted. The wife gave women to her husband and said it was compensation for him. Fortunately, I was the one who went in today, otherwise..."

As he spoke, he kicked Qu Yuancheng, who was knocked against the wall. His face was distorted with pain. He raised his head with great effort and said weakly, "I... I didn't know it was the prime minister's wife. She said... she said she was the concubine she found for me."

Liu Yueru's mind went blank. She subconsciously refuted after hearing the words: "You are talking nonsense. How could I take the initiative to take a concubine for my husband? It is obvious that after meeting Ruan Qinghuan in the prime minister's residence that day, you have been obsessed with her and secretly found someone to kidnap her to commit adultery."

Ruan Qinghuan had no interest in this farce, and only asked Liu Yueru in a cold voice: "Have you ever met Ruan Xiaoyue in private?"

"It's not me. I don't have it. If anyone wants to find someone, she should find me." Liu Yueru insisted on pushing it away and refused to admit it, but she had already betrayed herself in her words.

Ruan Qingzhou frowned when he heard this. When he saw his sister asking this, he guessed in his heart that this matter was related to his cousin.
