cabinet first lady

Chapter 11 Murder

At the end of last year, the marriage between Ruan Muyang and Xie Zhao had a plan, and the only thing left was after the year when the royal family sent someone to come and announce the marriage.

In this life, Ruan Muyang is unwilling to marry Xie Zhao again, even at the cost of ruining his own reputation.Just when she was secretly looking for a husband-in-law among the children of officials in the capital, Zhang Anyi, who had disappeared for two years after failing the examination, returned.

How beautiful he was once, how miserable he was later.His reappearance in the capital naturally attracted the attention of many people, and the events of that year were brought up for several rounds.

Ruan Muyang thought that he was a perfect candidate.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all the princes and ladies in the capital will come out to watch the lantern festival.Ruan Muyang had sent someone to keep an eye on Zhang's family for a long time, and after Zhang Anyi came out, she followed her not too close or far away.Until he stopped by the river, she knew the opportunity had come.

Because there are too many people watching the Lantern Festival, it is very crowded everywhere.Ruan Muyang pretended to be squeezed to the river, and held his arm tightly when he fell.

She originally thought that it would be very difficult to pull a man into the water with her own strength, and she would probably be dragged back by him, and then she would use the momentum to fall into his arms and let many people see it.Unexpectedly, his feet seemed to have no roots, and she easily pulled him into the water.

Ruan Muyang can't swim.

Fortunately, Zhang Anyi will.

When Zhang Anyi rescued Ruan Muyang, there was already chaos on the shore.After handing over Ruan Muyang to the Ruan family, Zhang Anyi was about to leave, but his arms were tightly held.

"Uncomfortable? It will be fine in a while." He seemed to be coaxing her, and his tone was extremely gentle.Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, he bent down slightly.

"If you touch my body, you will marry me. I am the fourth lady of the family of the right servant of the household department—" Ruan Muyang said with difficulty.

Zhang Anyi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his lips and said, "Okay, I will remember."

Afterwards, Ruan Muyang passed out.

At that time, with what kind of despair did she decide to drag Zhang Anyi into the water?

Fortunately, it worked.

Ruan Muyang came back to his senses, ignored the bitterness and guilt in his heart, and looked at Zhang Anyi cheerfully and asked, "Second Master, do you regret agreeing to me back then?"

The eyes of the two met, and they never moved away, as if they both wanted to see something in the other's eyes.

Zhang Anyi walked up to Ruan Muyang, reached out and touched her eyes.

His fingers were slightly grainy and itchy, and Ruan Muyang couldn't help blinking.

"I regret that I was still too young and energetic to make a vow not to be named on the gold list, not to have a family or to consummate a house." He stroked her eyebrows and eyes carefully, his movements were extremely gentle.

He spoke so frankly, Ruan Muyang remembered what happened last night, his face slowly turned red, and he no longer dared to look into his eyes. "Say what you want to do." Her voice became soft.

"I just wanted to tell you that I don't regret it."

Ruan Muyang's beating heart slowly calmed down.

I'm afraid one day he will regret it when he knows the truth.

After walking around the Poxiao Courtyard, Ruan Muyang and Zhang Anyi went to the hall.

It happened that Xie Zhao met Ruan Zhongling at this time and was about to leave.

Seeing Ruan Muyang and Zhang Anyi walking in, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes and he said, "Concubine Mother always likes the steady temperament of Fourth Sister, Uncle, why not let Fourth Sister enter the palace to accompany Concubine Mother."

Because of Xie Zhao's words, everyone in the Ruan family looked at Zhang Anyi and Ruan Muyang who had just entered the door.

Although Ruan Muyang didn't hear what they were talking about, she heard Xie Zhao's words clearly.

Under the placket, the red mark on the collarbone was painful, reminding her of the frivolity and humiliation she had just suffered.She did not show any flustered and guilty attitude as Xie Zhao expected, her face was extremely calm and dignified.

What an honor to enter the palace to accompany the empress incident?Now the Ruan family is just an unmarried daughter of Ruan Muxi, so Ruan Muxi naturally feels that she is the only one.But King Yong'an suddenly called Ruan Muyang's name directly.She was dissatisfied.

Ruan Muyang has already married into the Zhang family and became a member of the Zhang family, and Zhang Anyi has no official position, so it is really inappropriate for Ruan Muyang to enter the palace.

Ruan Zhongling thought for a while and said, "My lord, Mu Yang has now married into the Zhang family, so it might not be appropriate to accompany Concubine Ruan."

Xie Zhao smiled.Born into the royal family, his demeanor is naturally extraordinary.With a majesty over others in his tone, he looked at Zhang Anyi provocatively and asked, "Could it be that Zhang Laoshangshu's family still have complaints?"

How can you refuse to carry out the majesty of the royal family?Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xie Zhao's words are specifically to suppress Zhang Anyi who has no official position, and everyone looks at him.Among them, there are those who are worried like Zhao Shi and Ruan Muyun, and there are also those who are watching the show like Huang's mother and daughter.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Anyi remained unmoved, he did not resist but was not cowardly, his figure was as tall and straight as a green bamboo, his tone was still gentle and gentle, and he said: "This is Mu Yang's blessing, thank you, my lord and Concubine Ruan. The whole Zhang family is grateful for their love for the Zhang family."

Hearing Zhang Anyi's serious thanks, Ruan Muyang almost couldn't help laughing.

She was sure that Xie Zhao had absolutely no intention of showing love to the Zhang family, but he abruptly explained it like this.He obviously complied with Xie Zhao's wishes, but he didn't suffer.

Feeling the gaze, Zhang Anyi raised his eyes to meet Xie Zhao's.

Among the intertwined eyes, one looked sharp and provocative, and the other looked gentle but undercurrent.

The only thing in common is that both sides have murderous intent in their eyes.
