After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 2
When the three people inside heard the movement, they all turned to the door with froze smiles.

Ruan Yuyi walked into the dark place of the house one step at a time.

"...Lingling? Did you hear that?"

She stared at that face for a long time, her hair grew longer, her complexion became darker, and there was not much change except that her clothes became more luxurious.

The eyebrows and eyes were still familiar, but she somehow felt that the person in front of her was as strange as if she had never known her before.

She shifted her gaze to the place where the two depended on each other.

Zhaorong's face was plain and beautiful, but she had put on a thick and compelling makeup, which made her look extremely unflattering.She was almost completely attached to Cheng Xingqiu's side, and the happy smile that had not been suppressed on her face made her feel very dazzling.

Cheng Xingqiu wanted to come forward, but was grabbed by Princess Zhaorong next to him, and he helplessly put his hand on her hand to show comfort.

"Lingling, listen to me—"

Ruan Yuyi broke into a smile, obviously her heart was extremely sad, but she couldn't shed a single tear.That's right, I thought he was killed this year, and shed tears every day, so it should be exhausted.

"Xingqiu, as long as you are fine. Where have you been these days? Why didn't you send a letter to your family?"

She smiled sadly, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, her lipped lips trembled involuntarily, but she swallowed sourly in her throat.

Mu Xiang at the side felt distressed and held her hand tightly.

Who ever saw a beauty cry like this, Cheng Xingqiu heard her say this, and he also thought of her tenderness when she was lying on his shoulder in the past.

"Lingling..."

Ruan Yuyi suddenly said loudly, "Don't call me that!"

"A year ago, I went to do business for His Royal Highness King Yu. When I reached the mountain road, the road was narrow and my horse stumbled. I did roll down the cliff and was seriously injured." Cheng Xingqiu tried hard to convince her, he lifted his collar, "Look , there are still scars here. It was Zhaorong who was kind-hearted and rescued me just in time, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to come back.”

Cheng Zhu put down the tea bowl, and said impatiently, "What are you shouting about? Are there any rules? The eldest princess is here, have you ever saluted?"

She originally planned to hide it from Sister Yi, and when she thought that her eldest son was gone, she was disheartened, and she was quite obedient, so she arranged for her marriage with Rui'er in advance.

I don't want her to come here now.

Seeing Ruan Yuyi staring at him without saying a word, Cheng Xingqiu continued, "From now on, you can marry Rui'er with peace of mind, and we are still a family. If you really don't want to, you can be a little girl for me."

He thought about it and felt that he was very reasonable.Ruan Yuyi is just a daughter of a shabby household, it is impossible for the eldest princess to be a child.

Zhaorong raised his chin, with some hostility in his eyes, but he pretended to be magnanimous, "I didn't come here with Xingqiu to discuss with you, I agreed with you to be a concubine because you kept Xingqiu's festival for one year For the sake of it."

Ruan Yuyi was breathing rapidly, her chest heaving violently.

What has she been guarding and looking forward to this year? Or, this marriage has always been just her wishful thinking.

More than a year ago, she came to Beijing with her mother to pay her respects, presenting congratulatory gifts to the family of distant relatives who became the number one scholar.On the way, he happened to meet Cheng Xingqiu, who was the number one scholar and held a parade in the street.

He was dressed in red, and his eyes were full of joy. He was riding on a steed, with a group of attendants behind him.Amidst the sound of gongs and drums and the gazes of the people on the street, he walked forward without looking sideways.

At that time, he had a handsome face and was blessed with talent, which attracted the hearts of many girls.He thought that he was just one of the crowd, and he didn't want to take a look in the street. When they meet again, the relationship between the two is already undercurrent.

Later, Ruan Yuyi married him as he wished, and stayed in Beijing during that trip, never returning home.

The number one scholar in her memories gradually reunited with the person in front of her eyes, and she heard herself say calmly, "No need, although my Ruan family is not as prosperous as it used to be, as the daughter of the Ruan family, I will definitely not be petty to others."

"It's just right, then you should stay in peace for a while and wait to remarry Rui'er." Cheng Zhushi would misunderstand, thinking that she had agreed to marry Cheng Rui, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "You go back first, I will marry you." There is still something to discuss with His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and Xingqiu."

She turned her head in a daze, thinking about what to do next if the wood spirit found someone.

At this moment, she didn't know where the strength came from to support herself, Ping Pingting stood upright, as if she was the mistress of the house, dignified and dignified, not to be derogated from.

Cheng Zhu's voice came from behind, "Remember to pack up the things in the house and move them to the east chamber quickly."

After walking for a while, Ruan Yuyi felt that her calf was sore from dancing this morning, so she put some weight on Mu Xiang.

Mu Xiang's worried voice was next to her ear, "Miss..."

Cheng Rui, who had been squatting next to the hibiscus tree, had gone off to play somewhere else, and he turned up the square inch of land, missing a patch of weeds, and threw the dead branches aside.

The servants and maidservants were still walking back and forth, and there were more and more red satin hanging around them, which was a joyous scene.

She dragged her body back to the house, completely ignoring that the fabric of the skirt was scratched and snagged by the slanting branches.

Ruan Yuyi bowed her head, clasped her hands on the armrest of the chair, and almost curled up to one side.Her eyelashes were drooping, and her hair covered half of her face, making it difficult to distinguish her emotions.

A cup of warm tea was poured and placed on the table.Ruan Yuyi raised her eyes when she heard the sound, saw that it was Mu Xiang, and said, "Go find the wood spirit and go with her."

"Miss, Mu Xiang just wants to be here with you," Mu Xiang said in a soft voice, afraid that even the breath she exhaled would shake the porcelain-like lady to pieces, "Mu Ling just left a It's not too late, I'm afraid I won't come back so soon. If you're worried, I'll call a few more people to look for it."

She didn't answer, sighed, and took a sip from the teacup.

Mu Xiang knew that what she saw just now had a great impact on the lady, so she never mentioned those bad things, but thought about how to make the lady happy.

"When the wood spirit comes back, we will accompany you to find the new uncle." Mu Xiang squatted in front of her, looked up at her, and hooked Ruan Yuyi's palm with her fingers, "The new uncle must be Zhilan Yushu, and the wind is shining." Yue, our young lady is so beautiful, the new uncle must be eaten to death by the young lady."

Ruan Yuyi felt the itch in her palm, her thoughts drifted away with Mu Xiang's words, and the tips of her ears turned red involuntarily.

"What are you talking about, you girl." She knew that Mu Xiang was coaxing her, so she poked Mu Xiang's forehead with her fingers helplessly, causing her to fall back and fall to the ground.

That's right, so what if Cheng Xingqiu is missing, life is her own, and she has to live on after all.She just thinks that the pole of this dead tree is not reliable, it is broken and broken, and she will leave behind all the pledges to never leave.

She let out a breath, and seeing Mu Xiang covering her forehead with worried eyes, she was relieved a lot.

The atmosphere became lively for a while, and Mu Xiang was about to speak again, but heard a crisp question from behind.

"What new son-in-law, what are you talking about? I want to listen too."

"Wood Spirit?" Mu Xiang got up to greet her, "Why did you come back so soon, did you finish the matter?"

The person who came was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, with a double-ringed bun, with some baby fat on her cheeks, and she had a very pleasing appearance.Mu Ling was a new servant girl who entered the mansion when Ruan Yuyi married in, and Ruan Yuyi also gave her the name.

Ruan Yuyi was relieved of her, and let her be the same generation as Mu Xiang.This wood spirit is lively, although he is not as prudent and careful as Mu Xiang, but has a simple mind.

"Hee hee, sister Mu Xiang, don't worry, I got it." Mu Ling said as he walked in, "The servant girl is walking to the foot of the mountain, young madam, guess what's going on?"

Mu Xiang heard the "Young Madam" with sharp ears, it was no problem in the past, but now...

She glanced at Ruan Yuyi's expression.

"Mu Ling, don't call me 'Young Madam' from now on, just call me 'Miss' just like Mu Xiang." Ruan Yuyi really felt the need, and casually mentioned something.

Mu Ling didn't know what was going on, and asked in a daze, "Why?"

"Go ahead." Mu Xiang secretly pinched her.

"Oh, my servant heard from the people at the foot of the mountain that this son is going to eat the first month of fasting with the concubine, so many young girls came here in twos and threes."

"Which family?" Ruan Yuyi asked.

The wood spirit moved closer, as if explaining some palace secrets, "It's Prince Yu's son."

The name of this Prince Yu's son is Jiang Qi, and the name of Fengliu is known all over the city.He has a good appearance to attract the favor of girls, and he is romantic and affectionate, can speak well, and he has offended many girls with his clever mouth.

He himself picked wild flowers at home, not to mention several concubines in the mansion, even a lot of opera singers and brothel girls who were raised outside, but his behavior was ignored at home.

But the more this is the case, the more reassuring the new emperor who is now considered exhausted.

Seeing her in a daze, Mu Xiang tentatively said, "Miss, the reputation of Prince Yu's son..." Although Jiang Qi pleases young girls, which serious family would consider him first?

Ruan Yuyi drooped her eyes, stroking the rim of the cup with her fingertips, this romantic son could still be patient, he gave up the delicacies of mountains and seas, and spent many days with the concubine and the old man, his character is not too bad.

She doesn't want any glory, just an empty title and give her a free body.

What's more, her aunt is pressing her every step of the way, and right now, she has no more choices.

"I have thought about it myself." She pondered for a while and said.
