Facts have proven that Siping still wanted to lower the young marquis's taste. As a famous playboy, how could he do such a low-class thing as taking his anger out on his wife? However, Xu Ranyun's behavior today did make him angry, so he still had to give him a beating.
Sure enough, when he entered the yard, he saw Xu Ranyun coming out to greet him. Seeing that he looked unhappy, he put away his smile and asked cautiously, "Did the Madam scold me?"
Duan Tingxuan glanced at her and walked into the house without saying a word. Xu Ranyun didn't dare to say much, and followed her husband in. She saw her husband sitting on a chair with a gloomy face. This made her panic and aggrieved. Thinking of the scene in Meiyue Tower, Su Nuannuan's fierce image deeply stimulated Grandma Yun, who always regarded herself as a good wife and mother. For a moment, she couldn't help but get stuck in a dead end, thinking to herself, why can that abandoned woman shout and kill you, and I must bow my head and obey you? Obviously, I am still aggrieved at this moment.
When he thought of this, he felt a surge of anger rushing to his head, which immediately aroused the ruthlessness deep in Xu Ranyun's bones. He immediately stopped bowing his head, straightened his neck, came to sit opposite Duan Tingxuan, and sneered: "It seems that the master is here to punish me. In this case, whether it is a beating or a punishment, I accept it."
Duan Tingxuan narrowed his eyes. Xu Ranyun's tough attitude made him very angry: If he couldn't subdue this woman today, would she dare to ignore him in the future? It's okay if she doesn't take him seriously, but I'm afraid that she will instigate the wife to divorce Nuannuan while he's away. That's intolerable.
Although he was angry, Duan Tingxuan was not the kind of coward who used power to oppress others. He glanced at Xu Ranyun and said indifferently: "From what you said, it seems that you are very aggrieved. What? Do you think you did the right thing today?"
"Did I do anything wrong? It would be fine if you cared about me, but you ran over to me and got bullied. You even let me chase you around the yard. What do you want a shrew like me to do? If this gets out, your reputation will be ruined..."
Xu Ranyun became more and more angry as she spoke, her pretty face flushed. Before she could finish, her husband slammed the table, stood up and said angrily: "Who said she was abandoned? I haven't divorced her yet, what makes you think she is abandoned? She pursued me because I like her. What's so shameful about a little quarrel between us? Who is so talkative as to spread such things? Do you think the rules of the Marquis' Mansion are just for show? What's more, even if it gets out, what will happen? Is this the only thing I am famous for? Who do you think I am? One of those playboys who only hangs out with his wife and maids all day long?"
Xu Ranyun was shocked. Duan Tingxuan had never lost his temper with her before. After thinking about it carefully, she knew that she had said the wrong thing. This woman was very smart. She knew that if she continued to be tough at this moment, she would definitely lose her husband's favor. Therefore, she flattened her mouth, tears fell, and she choked and said, "I... I just said the wrong thing in a hurry. How could I think so much at a time? I am not a master, and I am smart. I am just stupid. I thought you moved her to Meiyue Tower and didn't plan to keep her anymore. How could I know..."
"Since you don't know, don't act on your own." Duan Tingxuan snorted coldly, staring at Xu Ranyun with a cold gaze, and said in a deep voice: "I remember that I specifically asked Siping to tell you before that the monthly allowance for Meiyue Tower would be paid as usual. You agreed to it at the time, but what happened later? If it weren't for Nuannuan's strong character and her good cooking skills, I'm afraid you would have starved to death long ago."
Xu Ranyun became more and more resentful, thinking to herself, didn't you send them to Meiyue Tower just to starve that vicious woman to death? And now you ask me again. But what Duan Tingxuan said was indeed the truth, and she had nothing to say. She also knew that she couldn't get away with it if she didn't reveal a few words of truth today, so she had to wipe her eyes and tears and begged, "Master, you know that the eldest lady was rarely kind to me in the past, and I am a strong-willed person, so... I can't help but feel a little resentful. But since I took over the affairs of the mansion, I have been busy all the time, so... I neglected it. Master, please forgive me this time because I didn't have any intention, and I won't dare to do it again in the future." After all, she is his co-wife, not a concubine or a maid, so she can be sent away because of such a thing. After such a warning, she will probably not dare to harm Nuannuan again in the future, and that's enough.
Thinking of this, Duan Tingxuan's face darkened, and he stood up and said calmly: "Ran Yun, you have always been smart, so you can tell me these sincere words now. I know that you hate Nuan Nuan in your heart, but she is my first wife after all, and you are my second wife. The hierarchy should be observed. I can forgive the things you did in the past, including what happened today, but I won't do it again next time. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes, I understand." Xu Ranyun felt a fire burning in her heart: She is also the daughter of a noble family, why should she be so humble in front of her husband? Is it because she is a co-wife? The master said nicely that we should observe the hierarchy, but has he forgotten that he was chased around the yard by that fierce woman?
However, no matter how angry she was, she had done something wrong after all and her husband had caught her with it, so Xu Ranyun could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger.
No matter how smart the young marquis is, he still doesn't understand women. If he could easily swallow his anger and let it go, there wouldn't be so many tragedies in the mansion. His attack on Xu Ranyun had no positive effect except to make the other party more resentful and wait for the opportunity to continue to harm Su Nuannuan.
The incident at Meiyue Tower eventually subsided like a grain of rice dropped into a lake, without causing any ripples. Even Su Nuannuan was a little curious, wondering how Duan Tingxuan dealt with the Marquis's wife and his troublesome wives and concubines. But on second thought, it was not bad for the matter to end like this: he did not have to leave the Marquis's mansion and could continue to eat and drink here. And after this incident, the scumbag would definitely not dare to swagger to Meiyue Tower to cheat like before. He could convince Madam Yang not to divorce him, but it would not be without any cost. From now on, Madam Yang and his wives and concubines would definitely keep a close eye on him. Good news, really good news that makes people happy.
As if to prove her inference, Duan Tingxuan did not come for two days. This time, even Honglian and Xiangyun were convinced that grandma's guess was correct. Grandpa would never be able to enter and leave Meiyue Tower at will again.
The two girls felt a little disappointed. Although they said they would listen to Su Nuannuan in everything, in fact, in their hearts, Ye was the best man in the world. He had no problems except loving beautiful women. Everyone loves beauty. Ye was from a noble family with a handsome appearance and both civil and military skills. For a man like him, who was also the son of a marquis, wouldn't it be normal for him to have three wives and four concubines? I really don't understand why this grandma just refused to accept it. It was clear that Ye and grandma got along very well before. What's wrong with the chaos? Ye had endured the chaos, which showed that it was true love. As long as grandma changed her mind, wouldn't she and Ye live like gods and goddesses from now on? Who would dare to make trouble for grandma by then, no matter whether she was Grandma Lan or Grandma Yun? It was too late to curry favor with her.
So the two girls hoped that Duan Tingxuan could continue to exude his domineering aura, go in and out of Meiyue Tower every day, and use his sincerity to warm Su Nuannuan's cold heart. Once his grandmother's heart is warmed up, they can compose a beautiful story of love growing over time and reconciliation.
Unexpectedly, unexpected changes happened, and the beautiful hope was like a soap bubble, shattered with the arrival of Madam Yang. At this point, the two maids had nothing to say, and could only give up and make plans to follow their master and die in Meiyue Tower.
"In the spring, the flowers are fragrant, jingle jingle jingle, ling jingle..."
It was evening and the summer solstice was approaching, which were the days with the longest days. Therefore, even though it was already the hour of You, the sky was still bright.
Su Nuannuan was sitting under the grape trellis in the yard, eating a peach comfortably, thinking that she seemed to have never seen watermelons, potatoes and sweet potatoes in this era. From her memory, it seemed that the maritime ban had just been lifted not long ago. She didn't know if she could eat these familiar things again in her lifetime. Fortunately, peanuts were still available, otherwise she would have been heartbroken.
"Well, it's a hot summer day, and you really know how to enjoy yourself, hiding under the grape trellis to eat peaches instead of cooking. Eh? There are still two left, just right, give them to me."
The sudden laughing voice coming from the door made Su Nuannuan stunned. For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating. Until the tall and handsome figure came in front of her, she still couldn't believe it was real, and even doubted her own eyes.
An illusion? Everything is an illusion, right? His eyes followed the slender and graceful claw down, and he watched a white and rosy peach being grabbed by the claw. Then he raised his eyes and saw the peach being sent into the wide-open mouth. After one bite, only half of it was left.
Isn't it an illusion? How can an illusion be so real? The peach was really taken away and really eaten. She could even see the sweat on that familiar and hateful handsome face and... peach juice left at the corner of his mouth. But if all this is true, how could it be possible? Was everything that happened the day before yesterday fake? Was the Marquis' wife made of paper?
"Hey! Nuannuan, what's wrong with you? Are you stupid? You didn't realize that this prince is so handsome and elegant on the first day, so you are fascinated by him?" From the moment Duan Tingxuan reached out to grab the peach, his whole body was in a state of high defense, but he didn't expect that after he took a big bite of the peach, this woman was still stupid and had no reaction. This couldn't help but make the young marquis extremely surprised. He changed his mind and was overjoyed. He thought to himself, could it be that Nuannuan finally recognized her goodness and fell in love again? That would be really great news.
