No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 285 Blackmail!

Xue Ya returned to Ruan Mansion, just in time to meet Ruan Yueli who was obviously about to go out.

Ruan Yueli was also taken aback when she saw him, stopped and waited for him to approach before softly saying, "Brother."

Xue Ya nodded, and said lightly: "Want to go out?"

Ruan Yueli nodded, "Brother just came back from outside?" Ruan Yueli was a little surprised, since Xue Ya returned to Ruan's house, she hardly went out.

This is not difficult to understand, the Ruan family did not hold any banquets, nor did they introduce Xueya to the dignitaries of Shangyong.Xueya didn't have any acquaintances in the inner city, so naturally there was no need to go out.Why can't we still go to the west of the city?That's not where the eldest son of the Ruan family should go, and now the west of the city can't allow people to come and go freely.

Ruan Yueli obviously didn't know that Xue Ya had just returned from the west of the city.

Xue Ya didn't answer, just asked, "Is father in the mansion?"

Ruan Yueli said: "Father just came back." Xue Ya didn't say anything more, nodded to Ruan Yueli and walked past her in the direction of Ruan Ting's study.

Ruan Yueli looked back at Xue Ya's back, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

The girl beside her was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Girl, what's the matter?"

Ruan Yueli said in a low voice: "For some reason, I always feel that big brother...something is different."

"Is there?" The girl asked blankly, isn't the eldest son always like this?Always so beautiful.

Although the servants of the Ruan family didn't dare to get close to Xueya because of their status, many girls didn't have a bad impression of Xueya.After all, with the appearance of Mr. Xueya, even the former eldest son Ruan Yuelou can't match it.

Such a handsome and good-tempered man naturally attracted many young girls to secretly fall in love with him.

Ruan Yueli shook her head, thinking that she was thinking too much.

Since Xueya gave her the jade doll last time, Ruan Yueli's feelings for this big brother who came back suddenly have been complicated.Logically speaking, this eldest brother did nothing wrong. If he was the eldest son of the Ruan family, he would naturally have the right to return to the Ruan family to regain his status as the eldest son of the Ruan family.But the very few encounters made Ruan Yueli feel that this person was a little dangerous, plus his mother's illness and the current embarrassment of his brother, Ruan Yueli naturally didn't like this person.

Except for the last time when he handed her the jade doll, Ruan Yueli actually felt some kindness and sympathy from him.

Even when her father and half-brother didn't consider her thoughts and forced her to marry a Qi tribe, this half-brother who had only been back for a few days showed kindness and sympathy towards herself.Even if Ruan Yueli suspected that he had ulterior motives, his heart would not be without disturbance.

"girl?"

"Forget it, it's nothing." Ruan Yueli said lightly, "Let's go.",

"Yes, girl."

When Xue Ya stepped into Ruan Ting's study, Ruan Ting was reading a book, seeing Xue Ya coming in, he couldn't help but frowned and said lightly: "What are you doing here?"

Xue Ya twitched the corner of her lips slightly, "What? Can't the child come to see his father?"

Ruan Ting closed his eyes and raised his hand to rub his forehead, the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, as if he was enduring something.

After a while, he put down his hand and opened his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Say something directly."

Xue Ya chuckled, walked to the side, sat down and said with a smile, "Father is still doubting my identity."

Ruan Ting stared at him sharply, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I do doubt you."

"Father is too ruthless. If father has never believed it, why did he recognize me?" Xue Ya sighed.

Ruan Ting said coldly: "So, are you going to admit it now?"

Xue Ya said: "Admit what? What is father talking about?"

A trace of anger flashed in Ruan Ting's eyes, and he said coldly: "You keep making fuss about the deceased, what do you Ceremony Luan want to do!"

Xue Ya was startled for a moment, it seemed that Ruan Ting would say the word Luan Yisi from Ruan Ting's mouth.Soon he came to his senses, chuckled softly and said, "So... Ruan Xiang still remembers Ceremony Luan."

Ruan Ting narrowed his eyes and stared fiercely at the handsome young man in front of him.

After a long time, he said coldly, "What do you want to say?"

Xue Ya smiled and said: "There are some small things, I just need to talk to Ruan."

Ruan Ting flatly refused, "I have nothing to discuss with the people from Luan Yisi. If you leave the Ruan family immediately, I will pretend nothing happened and I will deal with the aftermath."

Xue Ya shook his head and sighed: "I don't know when Ruan Xiang became so naive. The reason why you recognize me is because you want to know if I have something against you, and where are the evidences? "

Ruan Ting said coldly: "I said it, I don't know what you are talking about. Since you are a member of Luan Yisi, I have nothing to tell you."

"You want to say, since I am a member of Yisi Luan, even if I have your identity handle in my hand, you can't get it?" Xue Ya said lightly: "So, is Xiang Ruan sure you want me to go? We I was very sincere in negotiating terms with you, and besides... there is one thing I didn't lie to you."

"What?" Ruan Ting asked, he never believed Xue Ya's words from the beginning to the end.

Xue Ya said leisurely: "Your son...Ruan Shuo, it is true that he is not dead."

"It's impossible!" Ruan Ting gritted his teeth.

Xue Ya said: "Master Ruan has learned about Luan Yisi's methods. When he saw the remains of Mrs. Zun and your son, did Master Ruan really have no doubts?"

"Where is he?" Ruan Ting asked.

Xue Ya smiled and said, "In a very safe place, Xiang Ruan can rest assured."

Ruan Ting gritted his teeth, but looked at Xue Ya with gloomy eyes.

However, Xue Ya seemed to be delighted, and laughed out loud, "Master Ruan, no one in this world can escape from Yisi Luan. The former Mingyin Pavilion Master is like this, and you... are also like this."

Ruan Ting took a deep breath and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Hearing this, Xueya showed a slightly satisfied smile, "Master Ruan cooperated like this earlier, wouldn't it be great? It also saves me from visiting Ruan's house in person. I have delayed a lot of things for Master Ruan, so that Let the Prince Regent's House take the lead."

While speaking, Xue Ya took out a seal from nowhere.It's not some expensive seal, but the most common Shoushan stone, but there is a fierce and vigorous wolf on top of it.The seal kept flipping in Xue Ya's hands, and the engraved handwriting could not be seen clearly.

However, Ruan Ting's eyes changed, and the eyes he looked at Xueya became more and more gloomy, with a bit of frustration revealed in the gloomy, "You came to the Ruan's house for this? It's impossible, you are always watched by someone at the Ruan's house ,how do you……"

"Master Ruan thinks that I only noticed the Ruan family recently?" Xue Ya smiled, "For today, I have spent a lot of time and effort in the Ruan family, are you sure you can really keep an eye on me all the time? ?”

"You Luan Yisi are a bunch of incompetent lunatics!" Ruan Ting seemed to be unable to bear it after all, with a bit of sarcasm.

"What did you say?" Xue Ya said in a deep voice, her smile retracted.

Ruan Ting sneered and said, "Not enough successes, more failures! This time, you still won't succeed."

Xue Ya's handsome face turned completely cold, as if hiding a bit of murderous intent.But Ruan Ting was not afraid, he knew that Xue Ya would not kill him now.

Ruan Tingdao: "Having been dormant for decades, nothing has been achieved. Apart from doing some sneaky things in the dark, what else do you do? Back then you killed Jiang Xun for money from Mingyin Pavilion, right? Now you are looking for me for the power of the Ruan family ? Whether it's Jiang Xun or me, Ruan Ting, what does it have to do with Yisi Luan? A group of old antiques who don't understand anything are trying to seize the power of the world, it's ridiculous!"

Xue Ya sneered and said, "It's a pity that Ruan Xiang is not on the right path to come to this day, right? Otherwise, you don't have to be controlled by me at this time. I'm afraid you have already run to the Prince Regent's Mansion and confessed to Xie Yan on your knees. After all, the young Wuzhi has joined certain organizations, so it is not a big mistake to be in the position of Prime Minister Ruan. Xie Yan is now in the midst of employing people, so maybe he can still make meritorious deeds."

Ruan Ting was silent, Xue Ya played with the seal in his hand and said calmly: "Mr. Ruan, can we talk now?"

Two quarters of an hour later, Xueya Walked out of Ruan Ting's study.

There was silence in Ruan Ting's study, and Ruan Yuelou opened the door and walked in after an unknown period of time.

"Father, are you looking for me?" Ruan Yuelou bowed.

Ruan Ting looked up at his son, sighed secretly in his heart and asked, "How is your preparation for the imperial examination?"

Ruan Yuelou said: "My boy will try his best. Although he can't guarantee to win the first place, he can always be in the top ten."

Ruan Ting nodded and said: "Just try your best, it's not right to sit in the study all day, the middle of next month will be your great-uncle's [-]th birthday, you can go for my father, and start tomorrow."

Hearing this, Ruan Yuelou couldn't help being taken aback, "Father, this..." Several uncles who are close to my father's blood have already moved to the capital to live with the Ruan family. Not even my father's real uncle.I haven't had any contact with him these years, how could my father...

Ruan Ting said indifferently: "After all, you are an elder, and the [-]th birthday is different from other things. The ancestral hall of the ancestors in my hometown should also be repaired. Now that my father can't get away, I can only let you go. "

Ruan Yuelou couldn't see any flaws, but... "If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for the New Year, and my sister's marriage..."

"I'll take care of it." Ruan Ting said in a deep voice, "Go back and clean up, and leave early tomorrow morning, so go and say goodbye to your mother first."

Seeing his father's serious expression, obviously he didn't want to say anything more, so Ruan Yuelou could only respond and turned to go out.

After going out, Ruan Yuelou couldn't help but look back at the study door behind him, but felt more and more wrong in his heart.

No matter how important uncle's [-]th birthday is, is it more important than Yueli and Prince Ji Rong's marriage?As for the ancestral hall, when will it be repaired or not?
Even though Ruan Yuelou was always busy because of the imperial examination and his younger sister's marriage, it didn't mean he didn't pay attention to the external situation.In the past few days, there was a sudden storm in Shangyonghuang City, and he was not unaware of it.

Could it be...Father felt that something was wrong with the current situation and wanted to dismiss him in advance?
However, given his father's current status, what could he do that required him to do so?
No matter what Ruan Yuelou thought, the next morning he could only obey Ruan Ting's order and take people away from Beijing to Ruan's hometown.This news naturally reached Xue Ya's ears smoothly, "My lord, do you want someone to stop Ruan Yuelou?"

Mr. Xueya caressed the strings of the qin, and said with a low smile: "No, we still need Xiang Ruan's help. If you make him anxious, you may really die. A Ruan Yuelou has nothing to do with the overall situation. "

"Yes, young master." The person standing behind Xueya said respectfully.

While stroking the qin, Xue Ya asked, "How are you getting ready?"

The man said: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed."

Xue Ya sighed lightly, "Everything is ready...you still have to be careful, the Prince Regent's Mansion and the Luo family are not easy to deal with. There is also the one hiding in the dark, maybe I should visit him .”

Hearing that the man next to him couldn't help but said: "Young master, that man intends to use Luan Yisi to fish in troubled waters. I'm afraid he doesn't have any good intentions for us. If he..."

Xue Ya said: "The reason why he uses us is because he doesn't have enough strength. The dignified eldest son of the Yao family has been suppressed by the two generations of emperors of Dasheng. I am afraid that the resentment in his heart has long been out of control."

"After all, he is Xie Yan's biological uncle." The man reminded.

Xue Ya said: "Uncle? Didn't it delay his action? Xie Yan was tortured by the Mu Palace when he was young, and the Yao family ignored him. If the Yao family hadn't disappeared, the arrogant and conceited young master of the Yao family would probably not He cares about an unfavored son in Prince Mu's mansion. Besides, King Mu and Yao Yun are his enemies, so isn't Xie Yan the enemy's son?"

"This……"

"When there was such a big mess in Shangyong, isn't it Xie Yan who is responsible for finishing it in the end?" Xue Ya sighed, "Xie Yan is probably just like me, with shallow love by nature."

The man didn't dare to say anything more, Xue Ya held down the strings of the zither, and the sound of the zither in the room fell silent for an instant.

The room was quiet for a while, Xue Ya pushed Qin Yi who was in front of her to stand up and said: "Go, be careful, there must be no mistakes."

The man bowed his hands silently, turned around and walked out.

After the man went out and closed the door, Xue Yafang looked at another person in the corner of the room.

The man was dressed in white, with long hair draped over his shoulders, and his appearance was unmistakably handsome.

If there was a full-length glazed mirror in front of Xueya, the figure reflected in the mirror would be almost the same as that person.

It's just that the look on his face is not as cold and serious as Xue Ya's, but with a touch of worry.

Xue Ya's eyes fell on his face, and said lightly: "After tomorrow, you can leave here."

The man looked up at Xue Ya, and said: "I don't understand, what's the point of you doing this...?"

Xue Ya said coldly: "You don't need to understand, you just need to do as I tell you."

The man nodded and said obediently, "Okay."

Xue Ya stared at his face for a long time, and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you think appearance is really so important?"

The man hesitated for a moment before slowly answering: "In life, isn't the face the most often seen by people? Probably very important, right?"

Xue Ya asked: "So, will the father not recognize his son? Will he not be able to tell the same two faces at all?"

The man looked at him and hesitated to speak, Xue Ya said coldly: "What do you want to say?"

The man sighed and said, "Maybe... it's just because it's been too long. It's been 20 years, and children and adults are different after all. Do you have to do this? The Ruan family..."

Xue Ya's eyes sank, "You want to stop me?"

The man shook his head and said, "No, you can do whatever you want."

Only then was Xue Ya satisfied, nodded and said: "I am also doing it for your own good, since you are kind and soft, I will avenge you, okay?"

The man didn't speak any more, he was still sitting in the dark corner, but his gaze towards Xueya was slightly more sad.
