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

Chapter 35 The Letter of Resignation
The water here is still burning on the stove, and the half bucket of water in the bathroom has slowly rolled up into mist. Mu Xiang sprinkled a handful of flower petals into the tub, stirred it lightly, and gathered in one place The petals are scattered.

Ruan Yuyi was served by Mu Xiang to remove the hairpin clothes, and sat in the water, the temperature of the water was just right, and the heat was wrapped around her shoulders.

She casually scooped up a handful of water, like petals attached to the surface of the water, it spread out.Her skin was dyed reddish, like fine suet jade.

Mu Xiang smeared soap locusts on her hands, but her eyes could not help but secretly glanced at Ruan Yuyi's body, seeing her body was as white as usual, she wondered, "Miss, why are there no red marks on your body? the same."

As soon as these words came out, Ruan Yuyi's already ruddy complexion became a little more red, and even the rouge appeared a little extra, she said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, you are a girl who has never left the court, you are ashamed but not ashamed .”

After all, Mu Xiang was no more married than her. Even though she was usually smart and stable, she was still ignorant of some things, so she just felt curious and asked without thinking much.

Mu Xiang pursed her lower lip and said hesitantly, "Then you..."

She didn't say a word, just shook her head slightly, while fiddling with the petals in her hand absently.

The methods her mother had taught her didn't seem to work on this son. He always looked at her with those indifferent peach blossom eyes like a banished fairy who was independent from the world, as if he didn't care about anything. He is appreciating her attitude and appreciating her tricks.

His eyes are always deep and lonely, as if he won't be moved by such a shallow thing as complexion.

Ruan Yuyi dipped her fingertips into the water and put the petals back into the water.Maybe it's because there is something still owed in their relationship that makes them seem distant.

Seeing her shaking her head, Mu Xiang felt relieved for no reason, and suddenly remembered the days when the Ruan Mansion was still prosperous.

At that time, the Ruan's family was really rich, and everyone around would rush to deliver what the young lady wanted.There is no need to lower my profile like this in exchange for a piece of freedom that should belong to her.

It's a pity that Master Ruan was falsely accused of accepting bribes and died in prison. I don't know who begged for mercy. When the house was raided, the government barely left a mansion with one entry and another exit, so that the family would not have nowhere to go.

How can her young lady be a Fuqian person? She will definitely get better in the future.

The tip of Mu Xiang's nose was sour at the thought, she almost didn't shed tears.She hurriedly wiped it away quietly, but she didn't dare to let the young lady see it, otherwise the young lady would comfort her in return.

When the water in the wooden barrel became cold for an inch, Mu Xiang quickly added some freshly boiled hot water, repeated this three or four times, and finally washed it.

After she tidied things up for Ruan Yuyi, she went to the dining room to make a bowl of jujube soup.Others in Cheng's mansion are indifferent to these sweet foods, and the dining room seldom makes these desserts, so Mu Xiang mostly makes them herself.

This jujube soup is somewhat similar to the lotus root powder in Wuzhou. It is light brown in color, thick and mellow, and the mouth is full of the smell of red dates.After eating most of the bowl, Ruan Yuyi felt much better after having no breakfast.

Her appetite was really not that big. After she was [-]% full, she held a spoon and drank it every now and then.

Before the bowl of jujube soup was used up, someone came to report that the eldest son had something to tell you, and he was waiting for you under the osmanthus tree not far away.

She stopped holding the spoon and put it down. The white porcelain spoon collided with the rim of the bowl and made a crisp sound. She said coldly, "Go back and report, and just say that I am resting, so I can't go out to see him."

The servant girl glanced at her with some embarrassment, and added, "The eldest son wants this servant to tell you that if you don't go, he will tell the wife what happened last night."

These are Cheng Xingqiu's original words.Although the maid didn't know exactly what happened yesterday, she was just recounting it.But she knew that the expression on the face of the always gentle and jade-like eldest son became very scary when he said this, as if he was a different person.

Hearing this, Ruan Yuyi's heart skipped a beat, she didn't see Cheng Xingqiu last night, let alone anything worth threatening her, could it be that he saw that she was not in the house last night and found something.

She lowered her eyes and said, "I will go, you go and report back."

At this time, there was only one soup left at the bottom of the bowl and it was cold. She picked a little and put it in her mouth. She felt that the taste of red dates was not as strong as before, and she didn't want to eat any more, so she asked Mu Xiang to take it away. .

She casually put on a snow-gray rattan-patterned cloak, and went out without asking Mu Xiang to follow.

The osmanthus tree that Cheng Xingqiu mentioned was two corners away from the gate of the courtyard.This place is near the edge of the Holy River Temple and is relatively remote.

Along the way, her heart was beating wildly.She kept thinking about what would happen to her if her actions were discovered.Although the cruel punishment of soaking pigs in cages has been abolished today, with Cheng Zhu's temperament, will she let herself go?
All worries disappeared after seeing Cheng Xingqiu standing under the osmanthus tree with his hands behind his back.

Although her actions were extreme, they were also a last resort.Cheng Xingqiu did not report his life and death, and left his new wife to be friends with others. Could it be that there is some reason for love?
Since there is no such reason.

Ruan Yuyi calmed down and walked over slowly, the fallen leaves all over the ground were being trampled.Cheng Xingqiu noticed someone approaching and looked sideways.

His wife has really changed too much. If she used to be like a dodder, she was beautiful, but she was always close and attached to others, and never knew how to resist.

I don't know if it was more than a year of festivals, which had worn away her coquettish energy, and the polished little lady was so soft and charming that she was estranged, well-behaved and arrogant.

Cheng Xingqiu met her eyes with heavy eyes, "Where did you go last night, why didn't you see him?"

When he went to look for her, Mu Xiang had just left for a cup of tea. Originally, he didn't think much about it, he just thought they were wandering together, master and servant.

But when it was almost early morning, he sent someone to look again, and Mu Xiang had already fallen asleep, but she was still missing.

The night is deep, where can a girl temporarily living in the monastery go.He naturally thought of the man in black clothes he saw when he was looking for the missing Cheng Rui.

The more he thought about it, the more he suppressed his anger, and he simply asked clearly, "Did you go to find the man from that day?" He felt very strange at that time, how could she happen to meet a friend here because she seldom walks around on weekdays? .

"What does it have to do with the Eldest Young Master?" Ruan Yuyi's expression was normal, without any panic.Although he had already thought of an explanation in his heart, it can be seen that he questioned like this, but he suddenly felt that there was no need to explain.

"Why has nothing to do with me, I—" He paused, suddenly unable to speak.

That's right, although Niang's attitude has softened a bit, in the final analysis, she still has the plan of marrying her to Rui'er. If this happens, he will indeed lose the most legitimate position to regulate her.

She stood upright, with a slender figure, "Eldest Son, believe it or not, it's up to you. If you insist on putting some unnecessary things on me, I am powerless to explain it."

"I just want to know where you went last night." He lowered his voice, sounding as if he was simply worried about her safety.

Ruan Yuyi narrowed her eyes, her voice was clear and cold as if it came from the clouds:
"Eldest son, after you return to the mansion, you and I can write a letter of divorce. From then on, we will be happy with each other regardless of grievances or grievances."

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no need for them to continue entanglement, so they forget all their previous admiration.

She knew that with his spirit, it would be more difficult for Heli to agree.However, she just wanted to give a result to the self who had been waiting for her before. As for the form, it was secondary.

Cheng Xingqiu's mind exploded, he opened his mouth several times, but no sound came out.

He thought about bringing the eldest princess back, and she might be angry and sad, but he never thought that this "divorce letter" would come from that obedient little lady who couldn't even speak loudly.
