Chapter 85 I owed her in my previous life

"Mom, what happened to you?" Ruan Xiaoyue pushed the door open and said in shock: "I heard my parents quarreling, so I wanted to talk to my grandmother. Did my father beat you?"

Ruan Xiaorou frowned: "Sister, haven't you always..."

"Get out of the way." Ruan Xiaoyue helped her mother to sit on the bed. "Mom, why is Dad so angry?"

When Zheng Qiaohui mentioned this, she was angry and resentful: "It was Ruan Qinghuan who suddenly instigated your grandmother to split up the family."

Tears fell from her eyes as she spoke, feeling wronged and helpless: "Xiaoyue, our family is counting on you in the future. When you marry into the Pei family, you will be the mistress of the family. You must not follow in your mother's footsteps. You must take charge of the family and be the head of the family."

Ruan Xiaoyue thought Ruan Qinghuan came back to settle accounts, but she didn't expect it was to divide the family: "But, shouldn't father be angry with her? Why did he hit you?"

"It's all for you. In order to let you marry decently, I secretly took a lot of money from the cabinet, thinking that I would slowly pay it back in the future. Who would have thought that it would be exposed so soon? It's all Ruan Qinghuan's sister and brother's fault. They insisted on checking the accounts."

"Now, I'm afraid this family has to be separated."

Ruan Xiaorou, who was standing by, was shocked when she heard this: "Mother is so bold, that's 20,000 taels."

Ruan Xiaorou didn't listen to her mother's words at all. Since her secret collusion with Liu Yueru had not been exposed, everything would be fine.

She heaved a sigh of relief and took her mother's hand, "Mom, we can't divide this family. Even if you give us some money to pawn the shop, it's still far from the wealth of the Ruan family. We have to find a way from grandma."

Then she looked at Ruan Xiaorou who looked sad and said, "Let Xiaorou and Qingchi go. Once they cry, grandma will surely soften her heart."

Ruan Xiaorou refused immediately: "Second sister, because of your dowry, you have made grandma angry several times. Mother was wrong to steal money from Mr. Mo, and you let Qingchi and I go to make trouble. Do you want to piss grandma off to death?"

"What do you know? Who told you to make trouble? I told you to coax him." Ruan Xiaoyue glared at her sister and said, "Grandmother loves Qingchi the most. Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and bring him back. Then bring him to beg Grandmother. If you coax Grandmother to be happy, maybe she will soften her heart and we won't split up the family anymore."

Ruan Xiaorou's eyes became redder and redder. She almost didn't recognize her sister anymore. How could she be so selfish?

Not only is he selfish, he's also a liar.

Just now she was clearly in her room, but she lied and said she was going to talk to her grandmother. Now she and Qingchi are asked to go find their grandmother. This is not coaxing, it is clearly a lie.

I'm afraid that instead of being happy, grandma will be even more disappointed.

"If you want to go, go by yourself." After saying this, Ruan Xiaorou ran out wiping her tears.

It was a sunny day in the morning, but it was covered with dark clouds before noon. Is it going to rain?

"Miss, it looks like it's going to rain. Should we still stay here?"

Wei Mingxi looked up at the sky, looking hesitant, but unwilling to leave like this. He stared coldly at the closed gate not far away and said through gritted teeth, "Go buy two umbrellas."

The maid sighed helplessly. Ever since the last time she was soaked in the water tank, the young lady had been at odds with Master Ruan. She thought he was deliberately taking the opportunity to torture her. Otherwise, why didn't he take her to the clinic?

Wei Mingxi's legs were sore from standing so long, and he was just about to squat down to rest when he saw the figure he had been looking for for nearly two months. His eyes immediately lit up with anger.

While chasing forward, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Ruan Qingzhou..."

Ruan Qingzhou, who was opening the door, paused when he heard the voice, frowned in silence, but seeing Wei Mingxi was about to catch up with him, he had no choice but to jump up and run away.

How could Wei Mingxi give her this chance? She followed the direction he ran into the alley.

As the raindrops fell, Ruan Qingzhou, who was leaping on the roof, said, "You are such an unreasonable person. I saved you twice, and it would be fine if you didn't repay me, but are you going to repay kindness with hatred?"

"Huh? Huh?" Wei Mingxi ran out of breath. "You threw me into the water tank, and you dared to flirt with me. You thought I was unconscious and didn't remember anything, right?"

She didn't dare tell her aunt about this, firstly because she felt ashamed, and secondly because she found it too difficult to say it out loud.

Ruan Qingzhou heard this and stopped at the rooftop: "What do you mean I was flirting with you? It was you who kissed me."

"You are talking nonsense. You are a man, but you dare not take responsibility for what you have done..." Wei Mingxi only remembered that his face was enlarged in front of her eyes, and then his lips were soft and cool...

Ruan Qingzhou must have thought that she was mentally ill, so he dared to be so bold.

Considering that she was drugged with aphrodisiac, Ruan Qingzhou was too lazy to argue with her: "Let's just put this matter behind us, okay? From now on, you go your way and I'll go mine."

"Then you have to promise not to tell anyone about this. If you tell anyone, you will be single for the rest of your life..."

Before she could finish the rest of the words, she saw Ruan Qingzhou's face change. Wei Mingxi thought that he was unwilling and became even angrier. If this was known by others, how would she get married in her life? If her cousin knew about it, would he look down on her?

This is also the reason why she had to find Ruan Qingzhou to explain everything clearly, otherwise she would feel uneasy.

"Why are you staring at me... or are you planning something bad..."

There was chaos deep in the alley. More than a dozen policemen were chasing a man towards this side. The man was holding a dagger in his hand. He looked familiar. Ruan Qingzhou suddenly realized that this was the man named Qu from the Liu Mansion.

Did this incident alarm the Jingzhao Prefecture?

The man seemed injured, but at this critical moment of life and death, he ran fast. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Wei Mingxi, Ruan Qingzhou jumped down from the roof. At the same time, Qu Yuancheng also found Wei Mingxi, reached out and grabbed the back of her collar, and put the knife to her neck.

Ruan Qingzhou was a step late, his eyes dimmed.

Wei Mingxi was frightened by the sudden situation. She just held the man's arm that was around her neck tightly and shouted to Ruan Qingzhou for help in a muffled voice.

Ruan Qingzhou was speechless. He really owed her in his previous life. Nothing good happened whenever they met.

He comforted Qu Yuancheng: "Don't get excited, let him go first, I will ensure that you can escape."

"Who are you trying to fool? These officers arrested me because of the tobacco issue. If I fall into their hands, I will be dead for sure."

Because of the decline of the Qu family, Liu Yueru's various insults after entering the capital, and the royal family's pressure on him to marry this shameless and promiscuous woman, Qu Yuancheng's mind has been distorted, and he can only forget his troubles for a moment by smoking.

Not only that, it can also make him feel extremely happy and comfortable.

Wei Mingxi's face turned red, and the officers did not dare to act rashly when they saw that he was holding a hostage.

At this time, Liu Yueru chased out and shouted at the officers: "What are you still standing there for? He is holding the Prime Minister's cousin hostage. Why don't you kill him and save her?"

Qu Yuancheng's eyes welled up when he heard this. The scene of their affectionate relationship in his hometown appeared in his mind as if it happened yesterday. Later, when the Qu family fell into decline, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She became increasingly cold towards him and later simply moved to the capital without telling him.

Now, she even wants him dead?

His hands were shaking with extreme anger, and his addiction to cigarettes made his emotions more and more out of control. A thin bloody mark was scratched on Wei Mingxi's fair neck.
