No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 315 Who Are You? (two more)
Ruan Yueli of the Ruan Mansion took the girl and strolled into Mrs. Ruan's room. Mrs. Ruan was lying on the bed with a pale face and fell asleep.

Mrs. Ruan was really ill this time, and no one in the huge Ruan family knew why it turned upside down overnight.The day before, the Ruan family was still the dignified residence of the Prime Minister, but overnight, Prime Minister Ruan was thrown into the sky prison, and the entire Ruan family was surrounded by the yamen's servants and the soldiers of the Zhen Guojun.

In the chaos of the whole family, Ruan Yueli remembered in a daze that just two days before the incident, his father suddenly asked his elder brother to leave the capital.

Could it be that at that time, father already knew what would happen at home?

But he didn't tell anyone, did his brother really just go back to his hometown to build the ancestral hall?When did father care so much about the Ruan family's ancestral hall?
"Mother, are you feeling better?" Ruan Yueli asked softly as she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Mrs. Ruan.

Madam Ruan slowly opened her eyes, reached out and grabbed her hand, and asked anxiously, "Is your father back yet?"

Ruan Yueli was silent, her father was imprisoned in the sky jail because of his rebellion with King Ning, how could he come out so easily?
Ruan Yueli's silence seemed to have irritated Mrs. Ruan, she let go of her daughter and buried her face in the quilt, crying bitterly, "How could this happen?! The master must have been wronged! No...it's all that, that...it's all That catastrophe! Our house has always been fine, and this happened just after he came back! Where is that disaster star?! Drive him out!"

"Mother." Ruan Yueli looked at her hysterical mother calmly, and said, "None of us can get out now, I'm afraid we won't..."

"Shut up!" Madam Ruan raised her head and said angrily, "Your father was wronged!"

Seeing her calm expression, Mrs. Ruan's expression became more and more angry and resentful.Maybe she didn't hate her daughter, but she really didn't know how to vent the panic and fear in her heart, "Your father has been thrown into the sky prison! Your elder brother doesn't know what's going on, so you're not worried at all? You still have No heart?"

Ruan Yueli said: "How should I behave so that my mother will feel that I have a heart?"

Mrs. Ruan was choked by her for a while, unable to speak for a while, then she turned her head and fell down on the quilt again and continued to cry bitterly.

Ruan Yueli sat by the bed for a while, then stood up and walked out.

The girl waiting outside the door was relieved to see her come out, and said in a low voice: "Girl, madam..."

Ruan Yueli shook her head and said, "Don't worry about her, just deliver the medicine and food on time."

The girl was a little anxious, and lowered her voice and said: "Miss, there has been some chaos in the mansion these days. Many people are complaining in private that the master has harmed everyone. They also said... the master committed a capital crime and will be beheaded. got implicated."

When something like this happened, people were already in panic, but Madam couldn't take care of things now.

There is no one to manage the servants in the mansion, and they are worried that they may be implicated by the master's family, so they naturally feel resentful.It's only been a few days, and it's fine if the people below don't work hard. After all, they can't be too demanding now, but many people are quite disrespectful to their wives and girls in their words. If it takes a long time, it's hard to guarantee that nothing big will happen .

Ruan Yueli's beautiful face was slightly cold, and she said in a deep voice: "Let them make trouble, you just make people look after our mother and our yard. No matter what happens to our father, the imperial court will not keep us under house arrest all the time, presumably soon Someone will be sent."

"Miss, should I send a letter to the Ninth Prince of the Qi Clan?" the girl suggested. After all, there is a marriage contract. Even if the Ninth Prince can't help the Ruan family, he can at least help a group of girls, right?

Ruan Yueli sneered and said, "Do you think that Ninth Prince really wants to marry me?" Not only did she not want to marry this marriage, the Ninth Prince probably didn't want to marry either.Now that the Ruan family has been convicted, he can just take this opportunity to get rid of this marriage.

The little girl didn't dare to speak anymore, and a girl from outside the door hurried in to report, "Girl, outside... there are officials coming from outside!"

As usual, let alone official errands, even high-ranking officials from the court and the servants of the prime minister's mansion would treat them calmly.But it's different now, even if those people's grades are not very high, the little girl in the mansion is already frightened.

Ruan Yueli paused for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Understood, I'll go see you."

They were not the only house in the Ruan family. Although Ruan Ting was abandoned by his parents in the early years, after he became prosperous, he still did not completely abandon his parents who had abandoned him or even sold him.Maybe it's because I don't want people to know my past experience and whitewash the family harmony, or maybe it's because of the so-called filial piety.

This world is sometimes so absurd, even people who have made great achievements in the past are not immune.In the eyes of the world, it is understandable that the Ruan family's parents sold their son, but if Ruan Ting refuses to recognize his parents and brothers, he will be cast aside by the literati, and he will never be able to integrate into the mainstream civil servants, let alone go to the civil service. Now the position of prime minister.

As the saying goes, a person who attains enlightenment can ascend to heaven.Similarly, if something happens, it will also be implicated.

The Ruan family benefited from Ruan Ting's benefits and enjoyed the glory and wealth, but now they have to bear the consequences of being implicated by Ruan Ting.

Ruan Yueli hurried to the hall, but heard voices anxiously separating the relationship from inside.

That was her second uncle, her father's younger brother.

Ruan Yueli stepped into the hall, and the originally noisy hall became quiet for a moment.Soon it became lively again, "Several officials, this is our eldest lady, the eldest daughter of Ruan Ting. Now she is in charge of this mansion, we don't know anything about it."

Ruan Yueli ignored these voices, walked up to those strangers and gave a little blessing, "The little girl is Ruan Ting's daughter, please forgive me for my mother's serious illness and unable to get up. I don't know what orders the adults have?"

"Miss Ruan, you don't need to be too polite." A middle-aged man in his early thirties who answered the conversation was wearing a fourth-rank civilian official costume, and standing beside him was a young man wearing a general's costume.

The middle-aged man said: "I was ordered to search the Ruan Mansion, please cooperate."

Ruan Yueli nodded and said: "It's natural, but my mother is now... Please don't scare her."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Miss Ruan, don't worry, the matter will be decided by the King Regent and your lords, and I won't offend my family."

Hearing that Ruan Yueli was secretly relieved, the attitudes of these people at least showed that the regent did not take the opportunity to drive out the Ruan family.Otherwise, they would have already been imprisoned in the sky prison at this moment, how could they be safely under house arrest at home.

"Thank you, sir." Ruan Yueli said.

The middle-aged man said: "One more thing, why didn't you see the young master who came back from the Ruan family?"

Ruan Yueli was stunned for a moment and said: "He... seems to be in his own yard, and he rarely goes out."

The young general who was standing next to him nodded his head at the middle-aged man and said, "General, go over and have a look."

The middle-aged man naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement.

After the general left, the middle-aged man said to Ruan Yueli, "Miss Ruan, please take us to Xiang Ruan's study."

Ruan Yueli also knew that it was pointless to push back and forth. On the first day she was under house arrest, she checked her father's study, but unfortunately she didn't find anything.

She didn't know why these people didn't think of coming to search the Ruan Mansion until several days later, but since they came, she could only lead the way.

"Please."

Soon, the middle-aged man led his guards to search the entire Ruan Mansion, and took out many files and books from Ruan Ting's study.They also took away several people in the mansion, including Ruan Yueli who never saw the "big brother" again after the accident at home.

When he was taken away, his expression was very calm, neither panic nor anger.

Before leaving, she just took a deep look at Ruan Yueli. Ruan Yueli calmly looked at the back of the group of people leaving. She didn't know if he wanted to tell her something, and she didn't have the heart to think about it now.

Now she has to think about how long they can live?
The place where the three of Ruan Ting were imprisoned in the prison was as quiet as ever.The advantage of such an environment is that they live in a less uncomfortable environment, but the disadvantage is that they cannot get any information except for the three of them and the guard officials who come here occasionally.

King Ning has been yelling in anger for the first two days, and now he has gradually lost his energy.

If Xie Yan had interrogated them like a storm from the beginning, King Ning might not have been so worried.But now he has been locked up here for several days, and only a few people came here during the period, and they all looked calm and unhurried, which made Ning Wang faintly anxious.

How is Prince Ning's Mansion?How is the situation outside?What is the wind direction in the court?Are those cronies who have not yet been exposed still credible?Will they try to save him?

The more he thought about it, the more anxious King Ning became.

"Bump bump!" King Ning slammed the iron railing hard a few times, and Xue Ya and Ruan Ting on the opposite side couldn't help but open their eyes and look at him.

After a while, the cell guard did not come either.King Ning couldn't help but smashed it hard several times, and after a while, the door of the cell was finally opened from the outside.

It was not the prison guard who came in, but the well-dressed Luo Jinyan with a calm expression.

King Ning stared at the door, instantly forgetting what he had said.

It was naturally not Luo Jinyan who made King Ning forget to speak, but the person who was escorted in behind Luo Jinyan.

"You...you, who are you?!" King Ning said in shock.

Ruan Ting couldn't help looking sideways, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking when he saw the man's appearance clearly.

That man was dressed in white clothes like snow, with extremely handsome features.

But the temperament is very peaceful, without the sharpness and danger that make people alert at a glance.

Some things can't be hidden, maybe it can deceive ordinary people who don't know anything, but it doesn't work for someone like Ruan Ting who came from a poor family to the position of prime minister.So Ruan Ting felt the danger of Mr. Xueya almost at the first sight.At the same first glance, he could tell the difference between this person and Xue Ya.

Even if this person looks exactly like Xue Ya!
"Who are you?!" Ruan Ting asked sharply.
