The next day, Ruan Qingyan looked at the invitation sent by Jiang Yashuang and was very surprised: "I have been troublesome with him for the past two years, but he actually took the initiative to ask me out one day?" He wondered, "Could it be that he can't bear it anymore?" , are you planning to settle a score with me? "
Dongran covered his mouth and smiled: "My maid, I don't think that General Jiang is such a stingy person. He has suffered a lot from the young master in the past two years, but he never cares about it. The latest loss was already a small one." How can you be angry?"
"You don't deserve to be my brother-in-law even if you don't have this bit of talent?" Ruan Qingyan didn't feel that he was bullying anyone at all, nor did he feel that he had wronged Jiang Yashuang. He said matter-of-factly, "Especially that kid Yilan is not easy to talk to. If Xu... People who are not open-minded enough will probably start a fight within a month or so - I already have a sister who is getting remarried, and I don’t want my sister to have to suffer after she leaves the cabinet.”
Dong Ran thought that Princess Ning Yi was not Ruan Ciyi. If she really got into trouble with her husband in the future, it would be hard to say who would suffer. But she knew that in Ruan Qingyan's eyes, Qiu Yilan was always right. Even if he made a mistake, it was excusable - the fault was all her brother-in-law's, and the credit was all her sister's - Ruan Qingyan's logic was so overbearing!
So he pursed his lips and smiled: "Is there any clue about Deng Yi's matter? Can you please go over and discuss it?"
"If that's the case, he must have gone to claim credit first. How could he even think of telling me?" Ruan Qingyan didn't believe it, but he was also happy to observe Jiang Yashuang, so he guessed a few words and stood up, "Take out the robe from the door. ”
When I arrived at the wine shop mentioned in the post, I saw Jiang Yashuang's young man, Jiang Tan, waiting at the door. When he saw Ruan Qingyan coming, he hurriedly came up to say hello: "Young Master is waiting for you in the elegant room above."
"What does he want from me today?" Ruan Qingyan asked as he went upstairs.
Jiang Tan apologized and said, "Young Master didn't tell me."
Going upstairs, it was Jiang Yashuang who opened the door himself. The private room was not big. Ruan Qingyan took a casual look and found that Jiang Yashuang was the only one inside. He was obviously planning to shoo away all the servants to talk secretly.
"Is there really news from Deng Yi's mother and son?" Ruan Qingyan was so happy that he asked Ruan Yi to stay outside and go in alone.
"Brother Ruan, please!" Although Jiang Yashuang made up her mind to ask what Ruan Qingyan meant by caring about his cousin who was far more than a normal cousin, he still hadn't figured out where to start, so the guests and hosts sat down. After that, he frowned and said nothing for a while.
Seeing this, Ruan Qingyan misunderstood, and asked solemnly: "Things have changed again?"
"Ah?" Jiang Yashuang was stunned for a moment before she realized that what Ruan Qingyan was talking about was probably the two people's plan to force Deng Yi's mother and son out, "That matter is still being handled... My appointment with Brother Ruan has nothing to do with that matter. "
"What's that?" Ruan Qingyan looked at him suspiciously, "Is it related to my cousin?" The only intersection between the two was Qiu Yilan.
Jiang Yashuang nodded thoughtfully.
Ruan Qingyan suddenly became nervous: "What happened to my cousin?"
"She's very good." Jiang Yashuang said thoughtfully, "It's me... I have something to ask Brother Ruan."
Ruan Qingyan was immediately relieved when he heard that something had happened to Qiu Yilan, but his attitude became lazier: "Oh?"
"Is Brother Ruan's concern for Yilan too much?" Jiang Yashuang thought again and again, but still worried about Qiu Yilan's dependence and trust on her cousin, and did not dare to fall out with him, so she carefully considered her words and said, "After all, Brother Ruan is just a cousin, there are rumors outside that... "
As a result, before he finished speaking, Ruan Qingyan had a sullen face: "What are you talking about outside? How come you are suspicious of Yilan after some random people just said a few words? Now that she hasn't married you yet, you are like this If she really comes into your home, are you going to put her out after just a few gossips?"
Jiang Yashuang said hurriedly: "That's not what I meant! It's just that Yilan is no longer as lonely and helpless as she was then, and needs your protection. Everything is fine with her now... After all, she has reached the age of hairpin this year, right?"
At first she could only rely on you, but now she has me, okay? And since she’s so old, it’s time for your cousin to avoid suspicion!
"If you don't interact with her privately, do you think I'm willing to call my cousin over every three days to teach me a lesson?" Ruan Qingyan heard the meaning of his words and smiled half-heartedly, "Don't say I'm ugly: I'm just a member of the Jiang family. Reputation, if it were you, would you let Yilan interact with you without any control?"
Her brothers failed to live up to expectations, and Jiang Yashuang, who was innocently divided, felt a tightness in her chest: "I am different from them..."
"Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black." Ruan Qingyan said disdainfully, "When I blocked you two years ago, I heard with my own ears what brother Ling taught you! Who knows if you will become a person one day? Did you bully my cousin?"
"If I had listened to my eighth brother's nonsense... I would have been beaten to death by Yilan a long time ago!" Jiang Yashuang cursed secretly and said, "How dare I bully Yilan? Yilan has always been reserved, and she didn't care when we met. Just talking."
Don't make it sound like I'm a scourge. The truth is that I've been bullied by you two siblings! Fortunately, Miss Ruan didn't come out to meet the guests at all, otherwise I would definitely have to please one more person...
Ruan Qingyan sneered and said, "Is it polite for you to talk like this when we meet?"
Jiang Yashuang heard his subtext: You two have no name or identity and you often meet in private. What's wrong with my serious cousin who always cares about my cousin
"But we are going to get married!" Jiang Yashuang simply made it clear, "Yilan also promised to marry me. We will decide on our names as soon as the engagement with the Deng family is terminated! And Ruan Brother, you are not only Yilan's cousin, but also your adoptive one. Now that Yilan is so old, you have always been on the same page with Yilan. Even though you feel pity for your little sister, you still have to do it for Yilan. Lan, think about it?”
Ruan Qingyan looked at him with a strange expression for a moment and said, "Do you doubt my intention to attack Yilan?"
"I heard that you treated Yilan very well when you first met her." Jiang Yashuang did not deny it. "Of course you are very filial to General Ruan, and you also love the house and the bird. But with all due respect, you are very respectful to General Ruan." I can’t see how Miss Ruan is better than Yilan!”
The biggest reason why Jiang Yashuang suspected that Ruan Qingyan was her potential love rival was this: various signs showed that Ruan Qingyan must be related to the Ruan family. Only in this way could he explain how he paid his last respects to Princess Ruan and was particularly fond of Qiu Yilan. reason.
But even though Ruan Qingyan was very polite and respectful to his sister Ruan Ciyi, who finally came back from Hezhou and was dating the heartless Fang Nongyan Yijue, but if you pay a little attention, you can find that he treats Ruan Ciyi very much. Okay, but I feel so sorry for Qiu Yilan!
According to blood relationship, Ruan Ciyi is closer to him than Qiu Yilan!
If Ruan Qingyan resented Ruan Ciyi's mother, Mrs. Tan, for driving his suspected biological mother out of the house, why did he need to spend money and effort to bring the Fang family back to Beijing? Why should Ruan Ciyi and the Fang family be separated from each other
In short, Ruan Qingyan's kindness towards Qiu Yilan is really suspicious.
Although Jiang Yashuang didn't believe Jiang Yadan thought that the Ruan and Qiu brothers wanted to use him to find reasons to refuse the marriage after breaking off the engagement - he mainly didn't believe that Qiu Yilan was this kind of person. As for whether Ruan Qingyan thought so, he I'm really not sure.
Although with the power of the Jiang family, Jiang Yashuang is not afraid of being unable to rob Ruan Qingyan, but if Qiu Yilan cares about this cousin, Jiang Yashuang doesn't know what she should do
At this moment, he suddenly spoke frankly and looked at Ruan Qingyan, waiting for his answer.
But Ruan Qingyan thought for a moment and then sneered: "My eldest sister is so many years older than me, so I often ask her for instructions when doing things. Could it be that I, a younger brother, actually treat my eldest sister as a younger one?" Control it like a sister?"
"Brother Ruan means that although you treat Yilan beyond the reach of an ordinary brother." Jiang Yashuang was not satisfied with this euphemistic rhetoric and raised her eyebrows and asked, "But you just treat her as a sister and have no other intention?"
"Did you invite me here today because of outsiders' comments, or because of your own doubts?" Ruan Qingyan asked without answering, "If I have other intentions for Yilan, what are you going to do with Yilan?"
Jiang Yashuang frowned and said in a cold voice: "I won't do anything to her, but I will ask you to leave the capital and never see her again! After all, Yilan only treats you as her brother, right? If she If I am interested in you, why should I promise to marry you?”
"What about the previous question?" Ruan Qingyan turned a deaf ear to his emphasis on Qiu Yilan's choice between the two, and his eyes gradually sharpened, "Did you listen to other people, maybe your family members? Those people's comments made you feel ashamed. Or are you regretting it?"
"Brother Ruan is overthinking!" Jiang Yashuang sneered, "If our Jiang family were afraid of outsiders' comments, we wouldn't be the Jiang family we are today! And now I only hate Deng Yi and his son for being shameless and delaying Yilan's youth! So what? Maybe regret the marriage!”
Ruan Qingyan said happily: "So you are here purely for me? Does Yilan know?"
Jiang Yashuang frowned unnoticeably, and then said in a mocking tone: "Brother Ruan, wouldn't he go to Yilan to complain just for a mere conversation? After all, Brother Ruan is such a big man, and he has also When you are an official in the government, why do you have to play childish tricks?"
Hearing his agitation, Ruan Qingyan smiled evilly: "Complain? No, no, no, I just want to let my cousin know that she is under suspicion!"
"It's you I'm suspicious of!" Jiang Yashuang didn't expect that he could be so shameless, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure: He knew Qiu Yilan's nature, and his usual slapstick and mischief were not serious. , but if she is offended - just look at her attitude towards Qiu Mengmin's family, you will know that even if they are relatives of flesh and blood, there will be no sloppiness in breaking up!
This was also the reason why Jiang Yashuang took advantage when she saw that she was in a good mood, but he didn't dare to continue as soon as Qiu Yilan stopped her. He knew that he really angered Qiu Yilan, so he didn't want to think about the eternal alliance between the two of them!
If Qiu Yilan knew what she had done today...
Jiang Yashuang didn't know what her sweetheart would do? It's okay to be beaten and scolded, but I'm afraid she will take it seriously!
Now, while he was thinking about how to explain to Qiu Yilan, he tried hard to convince Ruan Qingyan: "It has nothing to do with Yilan! How could I not know that Yilan's heart is tied to me?"
"In that case, why did you come to me?" Ruan Qingyan asked in a leisurely manner, "She remembers you wholeheartedly, and you remember her wholeheartedly - isn't it that there is no room for a third person between you? Then it doesn't matter what I think of Yilan. All your thoughts are in vain, why are you going to such great lengths to negotiate with me alone? I think you are clearly unsure, right?"
Jiang Yashuang gritted her teeth: "Who would be happy that his future wife is coveted?"
Ruan Qingyan said calmly: "Based on my cousin's appearance, there will be more and more people coveting her in the future. Are you going to rush out of Beijing for everyone? Can you make it here?"
"Because you are Yilan's cousin, I just sent you away from the capital!" Jiang Yashuang felt that his words were acquiescing to his idea of beating Qiu Yilan, and a cold look suddenly appeared on his face, "After all, Yilan has been taking advantage of you. Respect him like a real brother - if it were another person, I wouldn't even bother to see him today!"
Do you really think that if he has a good temper, he will not kill people and silence them? !
