Wen Tingzhou, dressed in a black brocade robe, got down from the carriage. His slender and tall figure, handsome face, and his gestures showed the demeanor of a noble son of a family. When he appeared, he immediately attracted many eyes.
When Zhang Qing got off the carriage, he immediately put an oil-paper umbrella on him to keep out the drizzle.
"My lord, it's raining outside, why don't you stay in the carriage?"
The corners of Wen Tingzhou's lips curled up, and he looked towards the direction where Ruan Xi's carriage was parked. He smiled slightly when he met Ruan Xi's surprise eyes.
"Zhang Qing, you wait here, I have something to leave for a while."
Zhang Qing responded, and glanced in the direction the young master was leaving, just in time to see Mr. Ruan, the eldest son of Uncle Chengyi's mansion, and suddenly realized that Miss Ruan Si had also come.
Zhang Qing secretly laughed.
Looking at the noble young man walking gracefully with an oiled paper umbrella from a distance, ignoring the continuous veiled gazes from the surrounding carriages, it was the first time Ruan Xi saw such an elegant and extravagant man holding an oiled paper umbrella, especially this one The man was still her fiancé, her heart was pounding unbelievably.
Seeing the young lady's appearance, Suyu and Suzhu covered their mouths and laughed.
Ruan Yuwen, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted Wen Tingzhou when he walked over.
"Mr. Wen, my sister is in the carriage."
"Thank you." Wen Tingzhou smiled and nodded, exchanging a knowing look.
Ruan Yuwen suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said empathetically, "Time is limited, so I won't bother Mr. Wen and his sister."
Wen Tingzhou smiled and hummed, and walked to Ruan Xi's carriage.
"Ruan Ruan, you are here."
Ruan Xi opened the curtain and leaned against the window, smiling playfully at Wen Tingzhou.
"Yeah, I haven't been out of the house very much since I grew up. It's a rare opportunity to see the grand occasion of the exam. Of course I won't let it go. Well, let's see if I can see you by the way, and encourage you verbally."
Wen Tingzhou raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Just verbal encouragement?"
"That's right." Ruan Xi nodded seriously, his eyes inadvertently passed over the fish lotus sachet tied around his waist, and he was taken aback for a moment.
She thought of the ignorant self who embroidered this sachet for Brother Tingzhou at the suggestion of Mother Lin, and her cheeks felt hot quietly.
I don't know how brother Tingzhou felt when he received this sachet
Wen Tingzhou smiled inwardly, Ruan Ruan's delicate appearance is really cute, but Jun's face pretended to be disappointed: "Really, I thought Ruan Ruan would give me a surprise."
"Miss, didn't you specially make a high school double happy knot for Mr. Wen?" Suyu broke the stage.
"Yes, miss, Mr. Wen is waiting for your surprise." Su Zhu also covered her mouth and snickered.
Ruan Xi: "..."
Wen Tingzhou chuckled, and looked at Ruan Xi softly: "Ruan Ruan..."
Ruan Xi looked at the two "struggling" maids speechlessly, and took out the high school double happiness knots that she had made up.
This is a complex knot, very delicate and beautiful.
Wen Tingzhou liked it very much, praised it, and deliberately hung it together with the fish lotus sachet, stroked the double knots with his slender fingers, and smiled meaningfully at Ruan Xi.
"Ruan Ruan, so you still remember the four great joys in life I said, don't worry, I will make your wish come true."
Ruan Xi's pretty face was hot for a while, and she couldn't help but glared at Wen Tingzhou.
He clearly knew that Double Happiness Knot didn't mean that, and he deliberately misinterpreted it!
The corners of Wen Tingzhou's lips were raised, and he looked deeply at the blushes on her cheeks, and her eyes were deep.
Suddenly, a familiar high-pitched female voice pierced the sky and reached everyone's ears.
"Help, someone murdered."
Ruan Xi was taken aback, wondering if he was hallucinating, and thought that this female voice was Ruan Sanniang's.
At this moment, a figure in a panic stumbling and frantically fleeing for his life appeared not far away, followed by several masked men in black who were chasing frantically.
"Big Brother, Fourth Sister, I'm Ruan Ning, help, someone...someone wants to kill me!"
There was a commotion among the crowd.
The officials, guards, and eunuchs at the gate of the Gongyuan were shocked. In broad daylight, someone attacked and killed people in the street.
Ruan Ning... a very familiar name.
Isn't that Miss Ruan San from Uncle Chengyi's mansion? The book "Promote Get Rich and Marry a Beauty" written by her is very wonderful and beautiful.
Some young students who admired Ruan Sanniang showed signs of worry.
Ruan Xi's expression froze, and before Ruan Yuwen could react, he loudly ordered the guards around him to save him.
"Go and save people!"
The guards were ordered to rush away, and the men in black who were chasing and killing saw that the situation was not right, and immediately scattered and fled.
When Ruan Sanniang saw that the person chasing her had run away, her tense nerves relaxed, and she collapsed to the ground exhausted, very embarrassed, her eyes were full of fear and the joy of being alive after the disaster.
If she hadn't abandoned the carriage and fled to the crowd, she would have died long ago.
Obviously, such a thing has never happened in the previous life.
Could it be because of Mu Qingci that the Mu family lost face, so they sent someone to chase her down
The more Ruan Sanniang thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, her eyes were full of anger, it's abominable, there is no one good in the Mu family except Mu Qingci.
"Third Miss, the Eldest Young Master and Fourth Miss are ahead, please go over."
The guards all respectfully saluted Ruan Sanniang on the ground. They didn't dare to step forward to help the man and the woman if they couldn't kiss each other, so they could only feel wronged by Miss San.
Ruan Sanniang thought of her current embarrassment, then looked at the crowds of people around her, and thought of her yelling in a hurry, her face was hot, and everyone probably knew who she was now.
She...she was humiliated in public.
Damn the Mu family.
"Yeah." Ruan Sanniang gave the guards a weak look, stood up and straightened her messy hair to hide the hatred in her eyes.
At this moment, Ruan Sanniang had already forgotten to protect her escaped Yaohong.
Even if Ruan Yuwen knew that the current Sanniang was a counterfeit, he wouldn't show it on his face. He rushed over to help his sister anxiously.
"San Niang, San Niang, are you injured anywhere? I'll take you to see a doctor."
Ruan Sanniang finally felt better when she saw her elder brother worried about her and worried about her.
"I'm not hurt, I'm just out of strength."
"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, Sanniang, why did you come out suddenly, and the guards, why are there no guards?" Ruan Yuwen frowned.
Ruan Sanniang had just experienced a chase, and it was the time when she was wronged. When she heard her elder brother's concern, she threw herself into Ruan Yuwen's arms, tears streaming down her face.
"The guards were taken away by the elder brother and the fourth younger sister."
Ruan Yuwen was suddenly hugged by the counterfeit sister, and his whole body stiffened for a moment. He took a deep breath, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and raised his hand to pat her back to comfort her.
"It's all over, it's okay."
This chase was too strange.
Ruan Yuwen suspected for a moment that his mother had taken action against the counterfeit sister, but he thought it was impossible.
The mother hated the fake sister for taking her body, and only wanted to torture the fake sister, so she probably wouldn't kill her.
He thinks the Mu family is the most likely.
Wen Tingzhou looked at Ruan Yuwen comforting Ruan Sanniang from a distance and frowned slightly: "Ruan Ruan, don't leave the mansion casually in the future, even if you want to go out, you must bring a group of guards."
The guess in his heart was similar to Ruan Yuwen's. The only people Miss Ruan San had offended were the fourth prince and Miss Mu from the Mu family.
The fourth prince is definitely impossible, so only the Mu family can do it.
The Mu family has always acted arrogantly, and it is not impossible to kill people in the street.
Of course, it is also possible that someone who has a grudge against the Mu family deliberately set up a trap for the Mu family. Otherwise, how could Miss Ruan San, a weak woman, easily avoid the killer's pursuit.
No one would have thought that the real murderer was Zhang Shi, Ruan Sanniang's biological mother.
"Well, I know, Brother Tingzhou, you go and prepare first, I'll go and see Third Sister."
Ruan Xi nodded obediently, got out of the carriage with Suyu Suzhu and walked towards Ruan Sanniang.
Wen Tingzhou nodded slightly to Ruan Yuwen who was in the distance, and then went back to Wen's carriage with an oiled paper umbrella.
Originally, everyone was happy to watch the grand occasion of the test, but who knew that such a thing would happen.
The news that Miss Ruan San of Chengyi's Mansion was chased by men in black in the street spread quickly as if she had grown wings.
Everyone secretly guessed who wanted Miss Ruan San's life, and pointed their fingers at the Mu family.
When Mrs. Zhang learned that the assassination failed, she threw things all over the room in a fit of rage.
Counterfeit goods are really a big deal.
Mama Gao didn't expect that those killers would miss, and she was in a bad mood.
"Ma'am, what should I do now, do you want to continue?"
After Mrs. Zhang vented, she glared at Mama Gao with gloomy eyes: "What are you going to do? Let's talk about it later, let that counterfeit live a little longer. Fortunately, the Mu family will take the blame for this failure. If not..."
Mama Gao shuddered.
At this time, Ruan Sanniang and Ruan Xi were returning home in a carriage, and the carriage was silent.
Suyu Suzhu had already tidied up Ruan Sanniang's messy bun and wiped off the dirt on her face, Ruan Sanniang didn't look so embarrassed anymore.
Ruan Sanniang looked at the glamorous fourth sister, and then at herself in a state of embarrassment, her face twisted for a moment, her heart became more and more jealous and unbalanced, and she couldn't help but secretly gave Ruan Xi a hard look.
Ruan Xi glanced at Ruan Sanniang's expression from the corner of her eye, and smiled to herself, because she was still worried that Ruan Sanniang would leave a shadow in her heart because of this pursuit, but jealousy defeated fear, and she still had the mind to envy her at this time.
She was worried for nothing.
Back at the uncle's mansion, Ruan Sanniang cried bitterly to Mrs. Zhang, but she didn't notice Mrs. Zhang's gloomy eyes.
What a bunch of trash.
It didn't even hurt a single hair of the counterfeit.
…
Ruan Xi returned to Chengxin Garden with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Something is wrong, very wrong.
"Suyu Suzhu, who do you think would send someone to kill Third Sister?"
Suyu looked at the young lady strangely: "Who else is there besides the Mu family? Miss San's pull not only ruined that Miss Mu's reputation, but also affected the reputation of the Mu family girl. Someone in the Mu family was murderous." Isn't it normal to want to get rid of Miss San?"
"Yes, miss, it must be the Mu family who attacked Miss San."
Su Zhu agrees.
Holding the hot tea, Ruan Xi murmured, "It's just that it's too normal to be wrong."
In particular, Ruan Sanniang didn't have any injuries on her body, which was so strange.
She glanced at Yang's mother, who was still alive, and thought of the enmity between Yang's mother and the Mu family, and a thought came to her mind.
"Is it possible that it was designed by someone who has enemies with the Mu family?"
Ruan Xi thought of going with Wen Tingzhou again.
Suyu shook her head: "Miss, I guess there are many people who think the same way as you. If you want this servant to tell you, the Mu family must be right."
"Miss, you have to be more careful in the future, the Mu family is probably eyeing the uncle's house."
Ruan Xi smiled, Ruan Sanniang is too troublesome, who knows if she offended anyone unintentionally.
Ruan Xi didn't think about Ruan Sanniang any more, he gave Ruan Sanniang a gift to comfort her and let it go, and stayed quietly in Chengxin Garden to listen to the teachings of the two mothers.
The incident of Ruan Sanniang being chased and killed caused ups and downs, which pushed the Mu family to the forefront. The Mu family was impeached by the censors, and many dirty things the Mu family had done were exposed.
Mu Qingci's life in the Mu family was even more difficult.
