After all, Ruan Qingyan really felt sorry for her. After Qiu Yilan made a tearful confession, although he knew that her guarantee was not reliable at all, he still sighed and forgave her and dismissed the servants to talk about business: "Qiu Mengmin and his wife I have read part of the compensation list and found no tricks. I think since they promised compensation, they would not do such stupid things. "
Qiu Yilan said flatteringly: "It's only because of my cousin's support that I can..."
"There's nothing more to say about this matter." Ruan Qingyan interrupted her expressionlessly and said, "Tell me the truth about the matter with the Jiang brothers!"
Qiu Yilan wiped her cold sweat and said, "Actually, that night was also the first time I talked to Jiang Yadan." With Jiang Ba's reputation, if you don't draw a clear line with him first, who knows what Ruan Qingyan will do next to make him crazy
"So you mainly associate with Jiang Yashuang?" Ruan Qingyan supported his forehead with his hands and asked noncommittally, "You went to Jiang's courtyard in the middle of the night. Were you coerced by him? Or were you asking for it yourself? To him?"
He asked this calmly, but Qiu Yilan felt frightened for no reason, and said cautiously: "I... well, because he and Jiang Ba came to speak for me that day, I felt strange, so I went over and asked him ”
Ruan Qingyan said calmly: "So you don't see anyone outside like this?"
"..." Qiu Yilan immediately fell silent and put on a timid look, rubbing the corners of her clothes as pitifully as she could.
Ruan Qingyan closed his eyes, opened them after a while, and said in a calm tone: "Then what do you want now?"
"...Cousin?" Qiu Yilan was unsure of his attitude and asked hesitantly.
"Do you want to marry Jiang Yashuang?" Ruan Qingyan looked at her.
Qiu Yilan was stunned and said: "It's not..."
"Then what are you going to do about your life-long event?" Ruan Qingyan finally sneered, "Are you going to keep interacting with Jiang Yashuang like this without any name or status? Who knows when something will happen... and be ruined for the rest of your life? ! Don’t tell me that he is a good person. If he is really a good person, he will never have close contact with you before marrying you - what happened to Yang Yishi two days ago is an example!"
Qiu Yilan whispered: "He... meant to marry me, but..."
"But what?!" Ruan Qingyan's eyes flashed with anger, and he said coldly, "Since ancient times, libertines have used the same tricks to deceive women. First, they can't help but seduce you, and then they use sweet words to lure you away from the stars. Coax him out! Let’s see if what he said before counts! I thought you were a smart kid and wouldn’t be fooled easily! Now I know you’re so confused!”
He was obviously going crazy and actually said, "I don't know how many women I had in the south who promised to grow old together, formally welcome us into the house, and stay together for the rest of their lives! But look at how many maids I brought with me when I came to Beijing. Who is having an affair with me? ! Some people say that there are no good men in the world. I tell you honestly, although this is a bit extreme, it is not unreasonable. How good do you think you are? It seems that Jiang Yashuang is reluctant to lie to you because he is a princess! "
Qiu Yilan wanted to hit the wall when she heard that, and said: "No, Jiang Yashuang said that if I agreed, he would immediately terminate my engagement with the Deng family, and then we would finalize it - but I didn't agree."
Ruan Qingyan sneered: "Did he say it himself? Did he tell you in the middle of the night?"
"..." Qiu Yilan was choked and couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, she said, "Anyway, I haven't decided whether to marry him yet."
Ruan Qingyan said coldly: "Even if he didn't lie to you, you went to see him privately before we even got through the door, and you asked his family to break it - do you think you can have any dignity after passing the door like this?!"
"Jiang Yashuang and I really have nothing to do with each other!" Looking at his hateful eyes, it seemed as if she was a brainless girl who had been deceived by a dandy to the point of losing both body and mind but still remained infatuated - Qiu Yilan vomited blood and pulled up her sleeves. , showing a little blush, "I don't want to marry Jiang Yashuang because I feel that the Jiang family is so powerful now that being his wife must set rules. It's better to find someone easy to bully!"
Seeing that the palace guard sand was intact, Ruan Qingyan's expression softened for a moment - but he soon sneered: "It seems that this person surnamed Jiang wants to play a long game and plans to deceive you as well as your heart! You don't want to I think he respects you, he is someone who really respects you, and he will never let you feel wronged in any way!"
Qiu Yilan secretly vomited blood again and said weakly: "That's what my cousin said!"
"Since you didn't suffer a big loss and this incident didn't spread, I won't punish you for now." Ruan Qingyan thought about it for a while and said, "But you can't interact with anyone named Jiang anymore. I know have no idea?"
"Yes." Qiu Yi Lanyang didn't disobey her once or twice, and she agreed quickly - we'll tell you later whether or not you want to keep your promise.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Qingyan's next sentence would be: "Now the man named Jiang lives next door. Even if you obey and don't go to him, I'm afraid he will go to you. In my opinion, you'd better move out for a while. Anyway, now Qiu Mengmin and his wife have also provided you with their property. Now that this matter is done, the palace will not have much to do with you in the future. You just need to wait until you are out of the palace. "
Qiu Yilan was stunned for a moment before asking: "Where does my cousin want me to go?"
"You can't live in the palace in the city but can't handle diplomacy." Ruan Qingyan obviously had a plan and said without thinking, "Go and live in a village outside the city. Tell the public that you want to concentrate on keeping filial piety and you think the palace is not clean enough."
"What about Mr. Shao and my girlfriend?" Qiu Yilan asked speechlessly.
Ruan Qingyan said calmly: "Ask the female gentleman if he is willing to go with you. If he is not willing, forget it. I will hire a female teacher for you to go to Zhuangzi."
Qiu Yilan thought for a while and said, "But my foot injury has not healed yet. Can you wait for me to recuperate for another two days?"
Ruan Qingyan frowned when he heard this, and after a while he said: "It's okay, but you'd better leave quickly." At this point, his face darkened, "Don't let me know about your dealings with Jiang again, remember? !”
"Yes!" Qiu Yilan solemnly promised to take her cousin's words to heart, implement them thoroughly, and never deceive her cousin again... After sending Ruan Qingyan away with sweet words, she called Su He and asked her to go through the back door. Go to the Qiaocheng uncle's house: "Take the red gold head and face with you and tell Miss He that I have never asked her to do anything before, and I don't know her rules. If it is not enough, I will make up for it - ask my cousin how he is doing. Aren't you in trouble?"
Su He asked in surprise: "Why did the princess say that?"
"Before, my cousin sent me to visit my mother-in-law's grave, but when I returned to the city, I heard about Miss Yang's affair with someone else." Qiu Yilan leaned on the pocket behind her, her expression a little cold, "This He asked me to leave the city again, and he pressed me so hard, without any preparation - isn't he afraid that I will be harmed if I live alone in Zhuangzi? "
Su He whispered: "Are you that easy to harm?"
"And he said something about me today. He didn't even mention a word about the incident between cousin Ruan and Fang Zijun when he visited the house last time!" Qiu Yilan snorted, "Is this normal? Even if my cousin didn't mention Fang Zijun, From a personal perspective, Cousin Ruan should have said a few words - it shows that he is eager to send me away!"
"But what kind of trouble will my cousin face?" Su He felt incredible. "My cousin is young and promising. Not only has he entered the Imperial Academy, he is also highly regarded by Prime Minister Xue..."
"The problem lies in Prime Minister Xue's respect!" At noon the next day, He Shuijin sat in the hall, drinking the good tea specially brewed by Qiu Yilan, and said cheerfully, "There are rumors in the capital that Xue Xiang has been interested in recruiting General Ruan as his son-in-law for several days. I won't hide it from you. The Jiang family originally had this intention before. Since I won't mention it now, I won't say who it is. The reason for the family's hesitation is that they don't want to compete with Xue - but although Xue Xiang likes General Ruan, Miss Xue has no discernment. "
Qiu Yilan asked hurriedly: "Are you saying to me that Miss Xue family is not willing to marry my cousin? Is there a commotion about this?"
"Although Xue Fangmi doesn't have much contact with her, she appears to be a quiet and delicate lady. Many people even praise her as the most talented woman in the capital." He Shuijin didn't know whether he was paid or if he really didn't like her. Xue Fangmi spoke with great disdain when referring to the Prime Minister’s beloved daughter, “Who thought she could do such a thing—humiliating General Ruan in public, making a toad want to eat swan meat, and saying that she would never marry for the rest of her life? I don’t like General Ruan!”
She put down the tea bowl and said with a sneer, "This bastard raised by a bastard is a bastard. No matter how dignified and elegant she pretends to be, the real truth will be exposed as soon as she encounters something! Even if a decent lady is not satisfied with the marriage provided by the family, she will agree with her in private. There are discussions with the elders, but how could she be so careless about her decency that she would cause trouble for an innocent person - who doesn't know that every time General Ruan goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he is summoned by Prime Minister Xue? Speaking of which, she comes out of the backyard to humiliate him? That time with General Ruan was probably the first time that General Ruan saw her! "
Qiu Yilan's face was so gloomy that she could almost shed tears: "How did she humiliate my cousin?!"
He Shuijin said: "I'm not sure. It seems that two days ago, Prime Minister Xue called General Ruan to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to give instructions. When General Ruan left, he met several young men who went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for Xue Nongying, the grandson of Prime Minister Xue. We met Xue Fangmi on the way out of the mansion together, and Xue Fangmi said those words in public. Although Prime Minister Xue immediately reprimanded Xue Fangmi and sent someone to send gifts to the general's mansion to appease him... But now. The words outside don’t sound good, and you know that there are always some people who are jealous of General Ruan, who is on the gold list without being crowned the winner.
"I think General Ruan is afraid that gossip will spread here and disturb your mind, so he suggested that you go to Zhuangzi to stay for a while."
"Can I meet this Xue Fangmi?" Qiu Yilan asked after thinking about it.
He Shuijin smiled and shook his head: "It's not that I don't help you, it's that I don't have any friendship with her. After all, Xue Xiang has always been upright and deliberately stayed away from us, but I can't date that one. arrive."
Seeing Qiu Yilan gnashing her teeth but having nowhere to vent, He Shuijin reminded, "You are now under filial piety, so it's hard to go out. When you are full of filial piety, with your status, except for individual private banquets, you can't go to any occasion." ? The circle of noble ladies in Beijing is so large, you can always meet them."
"Thank you for reminding me, this is the best I can do." Qiu Yilan calmed down and said with a stern face - Ruan Qingyan himself may not be unable to handle this, but he is a man, cares about women, and is the daughter of a master, so his innate Public opinion fell behind.
But, is his cousin so angry? ! What a joke!
Qiu Yilan made up her mind: "When I meet Xue Fangmi, I will torture this bitch to death!"
If you don't want to marry, just tell your father! If your father hadn't hinted at my cousin, could it be that my cousin is still obsessed with marrying you? !
If you dare to treat my cousin like a soft persimmon, see how I can turn you into a rotten persimmon! ! !
