Chapter 18 Who does the Zhao family belong to?
"What? The Zhao family is not from His Royal Highness?"

Old Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Qian were both shocked.

In their eyes, the people with the best chance of competing for the throne were King Mian and King Ying. The two men were constantly fighting overtly and covertly, and it was either you who died or I lived.

The other princes really don't seem to have the strength to compete for the heir apparent.

Ruan Mianmian wanted to say that she didn't see it at first. There was a wily and transparent little prince among the princes. He restrained his sharpness in the early stage, but as long as he seized the opportunity, he would be extremely ruthless!

He is the deepest hidden villain in the book, and he fought until the very end.

But such a sinister and ruthless man fell short because he fell in love with Mu Wan Ning, which really fits Mu Wan Ning's halo as a heroine.

But this is important!
She just needs to successfully break off the engagement and jump out of the Ruan family's broken ship as soon as possible. As for the subsequent copy of the capital city, let them play by themselves.

Ruan Mianmian paused and reminded, "Now that they are using the Zhao family to pull us down, they just think that the Ruan family has already formed a team and want to weaken King Mian's strength earlier.

So even if there is nothing about Big Sister, they will find something else. "

When Ruan Qian heard the second half of the sentence, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Although it was quick, the sharp-eyed Ruan Mianmian saw it.

Although Old Master Ruan was extremely angry at what Ruan Mianmian did today, he was indeed the most arrogant and opinionated person in the entire Ruan family. He quickly thought of the key.

Now it is not how the Ruan family wants to avoid it, but whether others are willing to let them go.

Today's choice may affect the future of the entire Ruan family!

"Ruan Qian, what do you think?" Mr. Ruan was extremely dignified at home. He would only address his juniors by their first names, instead of calling them by their small names affectionately.

"Such a major matter requires long-term planning."

Old Mrs. Ruan glared at him, "There are only two options for the current plan. One is to completely break up with the Zhao family and maintain the integrity of our Ruan family scholars; the other is to choose a team."

"Father, isn't it our Ruan family's motto to never participate in party strife?"

"Now we are on the cusp of the storm. If we don't advance, we will retreat. There must be a choice."

The two of them fell into silence. No one had the courage to make this decision. After all, it was related to the life and death of the entire Ruan family.

It is true that the Ruan family in the book was expelled by the Zhao family before they could think of this. Ruan Qian died of illness, and the Ruan family ransacked their homes and were exiled. They had long since become victims of the struggle for imperial power.

Ruan Mianmian shook her head. Since they couldn't make up their mind, she helped them. "The Ruan family is not related to the emperor, nor is it a wealthy family. Have you ever thought about why His Majesty favors our Ruan family?"

Ruan Qian was brought up by Mrs. Ruan and was very disciplined, valuing filial piety, brotherhood, etiquette, and most importantly the ethical principles of men being superior to women.

It is precisely because of his old-fashioned ways that he is so disgusting when it comes to his eldest sister.

But he could read, and he was sure to pass every exam. This was a scholar who had never appeared in a hundred years. However, during the imperial examination, he was unwilling to write the colorful articles that were popular among the nobles in the capital at that time, so he just crossed out his name as the number one scholar.

It was also because of this that he was favored by the emperor and became the censor.

He was like the emperor's tongue in the court, saying what the emperor could not say and scolding the emperor what he could not scold, which made the emperor happy today. Although he offended many people, he sat on the position of censor Zhongcheng along the way.

"With a personality like my father's, he has been able to rise rapidly in the court because of His Majesty's preference. If the Ruan family wants to regain a foothold in Kyoto, it must rely on Your Majesty, not King Mian or King Ying." After saying this, Ruan The old man stared at Ruan Mianmian with his round eyes. The meaning was complicated. As a member of the clan, he had too many things to consider, but he, the third granddaughter, had grasped the most critical point in the fog and had to He was shocked and looked at with admiration.

"Recently there have been rumors that Prime Minister Luo has requested an edict to return to his hometown. According to the rules, His Majesty will definitely try to persuade him to stay, but he will definitely agree to it by the end of this year at the latest, so that Prime Minister Luo can return to his hometown in fine clothes and celebrate the New Year. If my father is like this If Bian doesn’t make any big mistake, he will go to Beijing to take up his post early next year as an example.”

"What's more, His Majesty the Emperor is now in the prime of life!"

This last sentence completely helped Mr. Ruan make his decision.

"Yes! The Ruan family has the character of the Ruan family. We have been scholarly for generations, and the backbone of scholars cannot be bent, not to mention the ancestral precepts of the Ruan family are kept there.

As long as we can persist until the end of this year, the Ruan family's life will be different in the future. "

Mrs. Ruan made the decision, and Ruan Qian could only respond respectfully.

"Then who will go to Zhao's house to talk about reconciliation?" Ruan Mianmian smiled at Yan Yan.

Old Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Qian felt a little pain in their heads after seeing it.

Yushoutang

"Don't worry, old madam. The old lady can't let the big room do whatever he wants. He will definitely punish the third lady severely later." Nanny Li comforted her from the side.

"How can a daughter-in-law not be angry? I was the same back then, but now I don't dare to say a word. Why can't she, the Qin family's daughter?" Mrs. Ruan was very angry, and kept saying Beating the pear wood table.

"The third granddaughter's temper has turned against the heavens. We don't dare to let her marry into Prince Mian's palace. We have to find a way to marry Xiangxiang instead."

Old Man Ruan thought for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly ordered Nanny Li, "Go quickly! Tell me, if anyone spreads what happened today, don't blame me for beating him to death with a big stick."

With Mianmian making such a fuss, how can the daughter of our Ruan family find a good marriage if word spreads about it, and how can anyone dare to marry into our Ruan family. "

"Don't worry, old lady, I've already told you this, and I guarantee that not a trace of news will get out, but..."

"Nothing more than what?" Mrs. Ruan's heart suddenly rose to her throat when she heard the word "nothingness".

"Then we can't control Young Master Zhao's side."

When Mrs. Ruan heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't sit still. Now this matter is really shocking. What should we do?
Suddenly, someone came from the outer courtyard to report that my aunt had a letter and she would be arriving in Suzhou soon.

Mrs. Ruan was excited. She had not seen her precious daughter for ten years. She hurriedly opened the letter and read it again.

"Okay, okay, not only is Yunyan coming back, but she also brought a pair of children with her, and they will live in our house for ten days and a half."

"Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady. The fourth lady is extremely smart. With her here, she will definitely be able to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds for the old lady."

Mrs. Ruan smiled like a flower, her eyes narrowed into slits, thinking that the Zhao family was just the magistrate of Jiangzhou, how could they compare to her grandson, the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion, so she could rest assured now.
