cabinet first lady

Chapter 29

"Why don't I reply to the post and say I can't go because of something?" After Mo Wen went down, Ruan Muyang asked.

Seeing that Ruan Muyang was a little nervous, Zhang Anyi smiled at her, took her hand and wrapped it in his hand and said, "Madam, don't be nervous, since Second Miss Luo invited you, let's go." Then, he took her back to the study .

Ruan Muyang carefully guessed the meaning of his words.

She went to Luo Yu's flower viewing banquet, even if she didn't have any thoughts, in the eyes of others, Zhang Anyi and Luo Jie were getting close.

If he didn't stop him, could it be that he wanted to join Luo Jie after waiting and watching?

If so, it would be great.

Ruan Muyang tentatively said: "Miss Luo's temperament is a bit savage, but she is cute. It seems that the Luo family is well educated. Master Luo is a scholar of the dynasty, if he can guide you, he will definitely benefit you a lot. "

Zhang Anyi suddenly turned around and looked at her.

Facing his cloud-like smiling eyes, Ruan Muyang's heart skipped a beat when he sensed his scrutiny and exploration.

Zhang Anyi let go of her, turned around and closed the door of the study.

Partition walls have ears, and many things cannot be said indiscriminately.Even if you are already very cautious, you must prevent someone with a heart from making a fuss about it.

Ruan Muyang couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind. He didn't know if he was angry and blamed her for not thinking well, or if her words reached his heart, he was having such thoughts.

"Master Luo and Master Xu are both Prime Ministers now, what do Madam think of the two adults?" The door of the study was closed, and the sunlight that had been shining in was cut off from the outside. Zhang Anyi turned around and came back with the light behind his back, his expression was a bit unclear.

Ruan Muyang originally wanted to pretend that he didn't know how to fool the past, but for future plans, he decided not to run away.

If Zhang Anyi can often talk to her about court affairs in the future, it will be more beneficial to her in the future.

She sank her heart, looked at his gloomy expression, and said slowly: "The two lords are both high-ranking and powerful, and their behavior is not the same. Now that the prince is weak, the ministers headed by Mr. Xu have been suggesting I don’t know if there are ulterior motives in setting up another prince, but Master Luo has never participated in it, presumably it is more loyal to the decision of the Holy Majesty, and it is more legitimate.”

Only her soft and cautious voice was in the whole study.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Anyi, wanting to hear his attitude.

Under his guidance, she had already started to show some cards unknowingly.

Looking at her all the time, Zhang Anyi with scrutiny in his eyes stretched out his hand to caress her delicate face, rubbing his fingers lightly.He seems to particularly like this delicate feeling.With slightly moving fingers, he said: "Ma'am is right, but no matter how high and powerful the two adults are, this world will always be the world of the Holy Majesty. In these years, there are not many powerful officials in the hands of the Holy Majesty? "

In his later years, Emperor Wu was suspicious and bloodthirsty.

Ruan Muyang's face gradually heated up when he was touched by his fingers.

"Besides, the two adults, Xu and Luo, have been prime ministers for many years, and neither of them has taken the position of chief minister. It can be seen that they are on par, and it is not easy. Don't say these words in front of others in the future." Zhang Anyi's voice carried With exclamation and resentment, it is extremely profound.

Some things can only be said between the husband and wife.

Although he said a lot of content and opinions in these remarks, there is a golden mean everywhere, and it is not to show that he is biased towards any side.Seeing that he didn't intend to continue, Ruan Muyang suddenly realized that he had been cheated.

He tricked her into revealing her concern for the court.

And she couldn't figure out his thoughts at all.This made her feel a deep sense of powerlessness and vigilance, and the charm that had arisen in her heart because of his actions dissipated.

Did Zhang Anyi just want to know if she was concerned about the court, or did she have other doubts about her because of what she said earlier?
At this time, Zhang Anyi suddenly covered her eyes with his hands, blocking her sight and said, "Sometimes I feel that there are too many things hidden in Madam's eyes, and I can't see through them."

Ruan Muyang was shocked.

She took off Zhang Anyi's hand covering her eyes, held it in her hand, and then showed a very quiet smile and said, "What do you mean by the second master. I am the second master's wife, so naturally I am wholeheartedly for the second master." Lord."

After hearing what she said, Zhang Anyi held her hand behind his back, stretched out the other hand to caress her face again, and asked with a soft smile in his eyes: "Madam, do you still remember the first time you came to the study?" scene?"

"Why don't you remember?" At that time she found that he came back with Shen Wei disguised as a man, and the two of them went into the study.She fidgeted and followed secretly, but was called out by Ruan Muxi, and finally came in under the name of borrowing books.Then, she was trapped by him in front of the bookshelf...

Thinking of this, her face turned red.

The inquiry and dullness that had previously haunted the two slowly disappeared.

Ruan Muyang's heart skipped a beat when he met Zhang Anyi's meaningful gaze.

As Zhang Anyi approached, she subconsciously backed away.

Every time he took a step forward, she took a step back.

Finally, her back touched the bookshelf, and there was no way back.

Zhang Anyi stood in front of her and trapped her in front of the bookshelf again.

Ruan Muyang immediately became tense, his body stiffened, and he said with embarrassment in his tone: "This is daytime, as a person who reads sage books, you can't——can't—" .

But Zhang Anyi smiled and leaned down, approached her ear, and whispered to her: "Madam, you know that since the night of New Year's Eve, I have become a monk studying in the study, but I know the taste because of the marrow. I always think of Madam's appearance. I think that high school will bring Madam into this study in the future."

His warm breath brushed against Ruan Muyang's ears, and when he spoke, he opened and closed his lips lovingly caressing the pinnae of her ears.

How could it be so absurd?
Afterwards, Zhang Anyi stepped back slightly, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers, then slowly approached her lips, and asked in a low voice, "Madam, can my wish be fulfilled?"

Knowing that Ruan Muyang's temperament would definitely refuse, before she could reply, he kissed her lips, contained all her words in his mouth and crushed them into the sound of lips and teeth mingling.

The back was leaning against the hard bookshelf, and the front was close to his broad and fiery chest. He seemed to press it so tightly on purpose, making her chest very uncomfortable. Ruan Muyang felt that all the strength was taken away by him. It was like she had no power to resist, and could only let him go on like this, letting him untie her belt and pull her clothes down her shoulders.

Slowly, Ruan Muyang no longer knew where he was.

Suddenly, Zhang Anyi hugged her horizontally, and the clothes that were loose on her body completely slipped off.

His body suddenly flew into the air, and Ruan Muyang was so frightened that he immediately wrapped his arms around his neck.Her lips were kissed brightly, her cheeks were flushed, and her voice was extremely soft: "Where are you going?"

Zhang Anyi looked down at her appearance, and his eyes suddenly became darker.

"On the case."

Walking to the case, with a wave of his hand, all the books fell to the ground.The skin suddenly felt cold, and Ruan Muyang shivered.

The dark case almost made her fair skin like snow, and Zhang Anyi's breathing suddenly became heavy.

It was the first time in this kind of place, and it was still on the case, Ruan Muyang resisted and felt uneasy, Zhang Anyi held her in his arms, coaxing her gently.

In the blue sky and daylight, there was no one outside the study room with the door closed. If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of reading in the supposedly quiet study room, but the two people's low breathing.

After a long time of tenderness, several hours passed, Ruan Muyang, whose legs were weak and flushed all over, was wearing clothes.Her face was burning like fire.She glared angrily at the well-dressed and gentle Xinke No. [-] Scholar and said, "You clean up these yourself!"

After smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes, Ruan Muyang opened the door of the study and walked out, with a dignified and demure look on his face except for the amorous look on his face.

As for how Zhang Anyi started to tidy up the messy study, it is unknown.

And it will be even more difficult to trick people into the study in the future.

Back in the room, Ruan Muyang called Fang Fang and said, "Early tomorrow morning, after Second Master leaves, I will prepare soup and medicine for me."

Fang Fang was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Ruan Muyang had been in Zhang Anyi's study for so long, and immediately understood.She blushed and said, "Yes, ma'am."

A few days later, Ruan Muyang went to Luo Yu's flower viewing banquet.

The peonies in Luofu are unique in the capital.Every April, when the peonies are in full bloom, the Luo Mansion will invite women from the nobles of the capital to enjoy the flowers.

The female family members in the capital are all proud of being able to go to the peony banquet in Luofu, but almost no one can go every year.Speaking of which, this is still the rule set by the elders of the Luo family. Every year, the peony banquet in the Luo mansion is organized by the daughters of the Luo family in turn, and each lady is only invited to be friends with herself.In the beginning, the peony banquet was held by Luojie's daughters in turn. After the daughters were all married, it was the granddaughter's turn.

This year happened to be Luo Yu, Luo Jie's second granddaughter.

The last time I was in Zhu's mansion, I could see that Luo Yu's character was delicate and naive, and she was not easy to get along with.So Luo Yu doesn't have many close friends in her boudoir.

When Ruan Muyang arrived, he realized that the people who came were all about the same age as Luo Yu, most of them were thirteen or fourteen-year-old ladies, but she was the only one who was three or four years older than them, and she was married.

"Mrs. Zhang Ershao." Seeing her at first, Luo Yu felt a little embarrassed remembering how embarrassing she was in Zhu Mansion last time, but then she felt at ease.

Ruan Muyang smiled at her: "Second Miss Luo." Afterwards, Diancui and Fangang delivered the prepared gifts to the Luo family.

"Thank you for the previous thing."

Ruan Muyang found that although Luo Yu was unruly, she was not unreasonable, and after understanding her temperament, she was easy to get along with.

Nine ladies were also invited, four of them were Luo Yu's cousins, and the other five were official ladies.Ruan Muyang noticed something, they were all from Luo Jie's school.

Including Luo Jie's granddaughter, there are exactly two tables of people.

Luo Yu is worthy of being the granddaughter of Luo Jie, with excellent literary talent.Several young ladies wrote poems and poems on the peonies in the yard, while Ruan Muyang watched from the side.

Suddenly, several people came over.

"grandfather."

"Join Master Luo."

It was Luo Jie who came back.

Ruan Muyang saw Luo Jie once in the palace in his last life, but he couldn't see clearly.Luo Jie is now in his sixtieth year, his beard and hair are mixed with white, and his figure is thin. From a distance, he looks like a serious old man.But after all, he was the prime minister, a figure who turned upside down in the hall, his eyes were not clouded by old age, and he was extremely energetic, and the aura of calm and majesty on his body made people's hearts rise up uncontrollably.

Probably because Ruan Muyang was too conspicuous among a group of thirteen and fourteen-year-old girls, Luo Jie saw her immediately.

"Is this Zhang Xiuzhuan's wife?"

Zhang Anyi is now a Hanlin editor.

Ruan Muyang didn't expect Luo Jie to talk to her, so she nodded immediately and said, "Master, that's right." Feeling Luo Jie's gaze, she felt like an invisible mountain was pressing on her head, and she couldn't breathe heavily. angry.

This is Zaifu's demeanor, which is daunting.

Keeping Ruan Muyang's nervousness and straight back in his eyes, Luo Jie nodded, showing a smile of appreciation, and said: "He has a calm personality. Yu'er has been spoiled all day long, so I need to be quiet with you." quiet."

Ruan Muyang was a little surprised.What Luo Jie meant was that he wanted Luo Yu to spend more time with him?

Facing Luo Jie, she dared not think about things simply.Luo Jie looked at her differently, probably because of Zhang Anyi.But she really couldn't figure out what Zhang Anyi was thinking.

Even Luo Yu, no matter how savage she is on weekdays, would not dare to act presumptuously in front of Luo Jie.She obediently said: "Yes, grandfather."

Ruan Muyang stabilized his mind: "Master Luo is over the award, Second Miss Luo is cute and innocent, it's really rare."

After a few more exhortations with Luo Yu, Luo Jie left.Everyone seemed to be afraid of Luo Jie. After he left, there was still a little restraint, and he let go slowly.

Ruan Muyang thought about it because of the conversation just now.

Now the most trusted by Emperor Wu is the eunuch Gao Yan, the supervisor of rites, but Gao Yan is only an eunuch after all, and it depends on powerful officials like Luo Jie and Xu Hou.Xu Hou belonged to the faction of King Yong'an and Concubine Ruan, and would only be a hindrance to Ruan Muyang, and they would never be able to make friends. The only faction that could contend with them was the faction of Luo Jie.

If Zhang Anyi's position is still so ambiguous, she will have to consider relying on herself.And Luo Jie's granddaughter Luo Yu is her unexpected harvest and her opportunity.

As for the future, it is still unknown.

Once the Luo family's peony banquet is over, it will soon be May.

The Zhang family received another piece of good news after Zhang Anyi's high school champion, Wang's family was pregnant.

It has been more than two years since Mrs. Wang married into the Zhang family, but there is still no news from her stomach.Fortunately, the family rules of the Zhang family forbade Zhang Anyan to take concubines, and Lao Shangshu was extremely opposed to taking concubines. Even if Mrs. Li was in a hurry to embrace her grandson, she couldn't help it.If it was another family, the mother-in-law would not know how many concubines she had taken.

Finally, there was a great-grandson coming, and the old Shangshu and the old lady were very happy, and sent someone to Jingzhou to deliver a letter.

Everyone has to deliver things to Zhanyuyuan, and Ruan Muyang is no exception.

"Is it too early for me to give you a silver lock?" Apart from some ordinary things, Ruan Muyang picked and decided to give another silver lock.The silver lock is the style of Pisces, which can be worn by both boys and girls in the future.Due to the private entanglements with Wang Shi, she didn't dare to ask for tonics that were easy to be caught, although she knew that Wang Shi would not use her own child to frame her.

Always be cautious.

Zhang Anyi had just returned from the palace, and he hadn't had time to take off his official uniform yet.On weekdays, he dressed simply, but now that he was dressed in a government official, he was even more handsome. "Madam has always been considerate in her work." The implication is that there is no objection.

Ruan Muyang also thought it was appropriate after looking at it, so he asked Diancui to bring a red cloth, wrapped it carefully, and sent it to Zhanyuyuan tomorrow.

She sat in front of the table, bowed her head slightly, holding a red cloth in her hand, and wrapped it carefully, she looked extraordinarily demure.

Before the silver lock was wrapped, Ruan Muyang suddenly felt a weight on her back, and it was Zhang Anyi who hugged her from behind.

Fearing that the servants would see it when they came in, she struggled a little: "Be careful that people can see it."

Zhang Anyi lowered his head and sniffed her neck, and said in a low voice: "Madam, if we have a child in the future, it will be very beautiful."

The movements of Ruan Muyang's hands stopped, and the expression on his face also froze. Fortunately, Zhang Anyi was standing behind him and didn't see it.

She has been secretly drinking Bizi's decoction.She hadn't thought of having a child before.

The vague yearning and tenderness in Zhang Anyi's voice made her feel a pain in her heart, she felt so guilty, she suddenly couldn't bear to reject this man, and thought it would be good to have a child with him.Their child must be good-looking, if it is a boy, let him study with him, if it is a girl, pamper and pamper her, and find her a good family in the future, so that she will have no worries for the rest of her life.

It's just that the future is uncertain, and the vengeance has not been avenged.

When all the grievances are settled, and he finds out that she married him for an impure purpose, to use him, how will he treat her?He must hate her.If they already had children at that time, what would the children do?She can go to court alone, can be divorced, and can be dealt with by him, but the child is innocent.

She must have slowly fallen in love with him.

After thinking about it, Ruan Muyang's eyes were a little sore, his throat was astringent, and he managed to control his emotions, and said with a smile in his voice: "Yes, the second master was born so handsome and extraordinary since childhood, our child will definitely not Poor."

Her words made Zhang Anyi's movements in her ears more and more gentle, and said in a doting tone: "I hope to have a daughter, like my wife."

Ruan Muyang lowered his eyes.

If he finds out her true colors in the future and is willing to spoil her like this, she will definitely bear him children and make up for it with the rest of her life.

The next day, Ruan Muyang went to Zhanyu Courtyard with the old lady, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ji.

Since Zhang Anchao failed in the general examination, Mrs. Chen has not been close to Ruan Muyang any more.

Ruan Muyang could only let her go.

When people have a happy event, Wang's complexion is even better than usual.

"Yunxiu, you are pregnant now, you should be more careful, the housekeeper is too hard, you should take a break these days and let Mu Yang help you." The old lady said.

Wang has always been unwilling to let go of the power of housekeeper.Now that she was pregnant, she had to let go, and it was Ruan Muyang who gave it back, making her even more unhappy.

Originally Chuanyun Academy in the Zhang family was even incomparable to the concubine Zhang Anchao, but now because Zhang Anyi won the number one prize, he has been able to ascend to heaven alone, which has already threatened the status of the eldest son of the dean Zhanyu, if the power of the official family let Ruan Muyang take it Let's go, then the Zhang family will be the world of Chuanyunyuan from now on.

"Grandmother, I'm just pregnant. The doctor said I'm in good health and I'm fine." Wang Shi said, "Now the second sibling is not idle."

Ruan Muyang didn't speak at the side, watching his nose, nose, and heart.

Now that Chuanyun Academy has come to the end of all hardships, if she doesn't fight, the Wang family doesn't dare to treat her badly.

The old lady has lived for so many years, so she can see through the little thoughts of these juniors.She said: "The first three months are the most critical, you should let Mu Yang help you in these three months."

Speaking of this, Wang couldn't refuse.

From then on, Ruan Muyang helped the Wang family's housekeeper, and occasionally went to some banquets on weekdays, and he was not free.

Of course, she kept coming and going with Luo Yu, without breaking off.She had never kept Zhang Anyi from her relationship with Luo Yu, he saw it and didn't say anything.

One day, someone came to the palace.It was the little eunuch Gao who was next to Concubine Ruan.

"Second Madam Zhang, Your Majesty said that as an aunt, Zhang Xiuzhuan was supposed to send a congratulatory gift when he won the first prize, but it has been delayed until now because of the inconvenience in the palace. Now the Madam remembered the pattern she asked Madam to draw, and asked the slave to come and ask. How is the painting, come to congratulate me by the way."

Ruan Muyang smiled and said: "Concubine Ruan is too polite, Mu Yang was flattered. A few days ago, I was delayed because of some things, and the pattern has not been finished yet—"

Little Eunuch Gao immediately said: "Your Majesty said there is no need to worry, as long as Madam remembers it."

It was clear that urging her to draw tricks was false, but it was true to come here to give gifts.

Concubine Ruan is said to be Ruan Muyang's cousin, with such a relationship, it is normal to win over her.It's just that she will never get close to Concubine Ruan.As for Zhang Anyi's attitude towards Xu Hou, she was still unclear.

As for the pattern of a hundred birds chasing a phoenix, Ruan Muyang had made some small achievements under Zhang Anyi's teaching, and he could really finish the painting in a few days.

The letter Wang sent to Jingzhou when she was diagnosed with pregnancy finally got a reply one month later.

In addition to expressing happiness, the letter also stated that Mrs. Li fell ill due to the weather in Jingzhou, and hadn't improved for more than half a month.

When Zhang Ji and Mrs. Li went to Jingzhou, they didn't bring many maids and servants. Many of them were bought after they arrived in Jingzhou. Naturally, they couldn't compare with having children at home, so they had to send someone to take care of them.

When the mother-in-law is sick, it is only natural for the daughter-in-law to serve the sick.

The old lady called Wang Shi, Ruan Muyang and Chen Shi over.

After sizing up the three granddaughters-in-law, the old lady said, "You also know that your mother is ill. The people in Jingzhou don't take good care of them, so it's better to go by yourself."

"That's right, my mother is sick. As a daughter-in-law, I should go, but it just happens to be at this time." Wang said anxiously.

"Yunxiu, the most important thing is that you take good care of your body." As she said that, the old lady looked at Mrs. Chen, saw that she was cowering and couldn't get on the stage, she shook her head, and finally looked at Ruan Muyang and said, "Mu Yang, you should go. You haven't seen your mother very much, and this time you go to take care of her just to get acquainted. As for the housekeeper, I will leave it to your second aunt first."

Wang Shi raised his lips, and Chen Shi heaved a sigh of relief.

There is indeed no one more suitable than her, and Ruan Muyang has no reason to refuse.

Seeing that Ruan Muyang showed no reluctance, the old lady nodded in her heart.

In fact, Ruan Muyang was extremely unwilling.It will take at least two months to go to Jingzhou this time, and at that time, there was a huge turmoil in the last dynasty, King Yongjing was put on death row, and the Ruan family was implicated not too far away.

At such a critical time, she had to leave Beijing.

She even thought of pretending to be sick, but it was too obvious to pretend to be sick at this time, and it was obvious that she didn't want to take care of Mrs. Li.This will not only collapse the impression that she finally got better in the hearts of Lao Shangshu and the old lady, but also make people feel that Zhang Anyi is not filial.

When Zhang Anyi came back from the palace, he saw Ruan Muyang sitting at the table in a daze, frowning.

"what happened?"

His voice brought Ruan Muyang back to his senses, put away his sad face, stood up and changed his official uniform for him.

"There was a letter from Jingzhou a few days ago that my mother was ill. Did the second master hear about it?"

Zhang Anyi nodded without showing any worry.

Although he still had a slight smile in his eyes as usual, Ruan Muyang felt that he was indifferent at this time for no reason.

That's right, she had seen before that Zhang Anyi, Zhang Ji and Li Shi were not close.He was brought by Lao Shangshu's side since he was a child, so of course he was closer to Lao Shangshu and the old lady.And in the first few days after entering the door, she also felt Zhang Ji and Li's indifference towards them.When serving tea that day, Zhang Anyi said that he wanted to enter the Imperial Academy, Zhang Ji and Li Shi were the ones who disbelieved and opposed it the most.

At the age of eight, he became a well-known child prodigy in Beijing. At the age of 16, he was ridiculed after failing the ranking in the spotlight. Zhang Anyi has tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships at a young age. He is naturally very sensitive to these things and sees them more clearly than others .

Fortunately, the scorching world didn't make him cold. All his experiences turned into a millstone, which rubbed away his youthful vigor, leaving behind a never-fading warm luster.

It's just that everyone in the world is confused by his gentleness.

Ruan Muyang put away the emotion in his heart and said, "I'm going to Jingzhou to serve the sick."

Zhang Anyi looked at her, with a rare dissatisfaction in his tone: "Grandma's decision?"

Hearing his dissatisfaction, Ruan Muyang felt a little sweet in his heart, and said, "The elder sister-in-law is pregnant, and the third younger sibling is timid, only I am the most suitable."

Zhang Anyi was silent.

Obviously he also knew that only Ruan Muyang was the most suitable.

"It's been raining in the Huaihe River recently, and the road may not be very easy." Zhang Anyi sighed softly, took Ruan Muyang's hand and said, "It's really not easy since I got married with my wife."

Ruan Muyang deeply felt the same way.Less than a year after getting married, she was first called into the palace, and now she is going to Jingzhou again.

Does such a beginning doom them to be ruled by tigers and wolves in the future, and there will be no peace?

"Good things take time, and I'll be back in two months at least." Ruan Muyang said.

Recalling the worry in her heart just now, she said again: "Although the second master can't do anything in the Hanlin now, he must see clearly the situation in the court. If——if my father wants to do something stupid or encounter something these days, what should I do?" Second Lord, please remind me."

Her words for no reason made Zhang Anyi's eyes full of inquiry again.As far as he knows, there is no sign of what will happen now that the DPRK and China are at peace.

"What are you worried about, madam?"

Ruan Muyang became vigilant in his heart, pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Speaking of it, I'm not afraid of Second Master's jokes. These days, my eyelids are always twitching, and my heart is uneasy, as if something will happen. Second Master himself should be more careful."

Zhang Anyi didn't ask any more questions: "Okay."

But even so, Ruan Muyang was still worried.Before going to Jingzhou, she specially wrote a letter to Mrs. Zhao, asking Han Shi to send it to Ruan Mansion.

With some emerald enamel and cold food, plus a few guards and wives, Ruan Muyang embarked on the road to Jingzhou.

It was hit by Zhang Anyi, and after walking south for about ten days, it started to be rainy all the time.

When approaching the Lianghuai River, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the road became more and more difficult to walk.

When it was half a day away from Yangzhou City, Ruan Muyang's carriage sank deeply into the mud.

The rain seemed to pour down from the sky, making it difficult for people to see clearly. No matter how the coachman and guards pushed, the carriage remained motionless.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Dian Cui became anxious: "Madam, if this continues, we won't be able to reach Yangzhou City before dark."

Ruan Muyang didn't know what was going on below, so after thinking about it, he opened the curtain and got out of the car.

Diancui and Falang immediately came out to hold the umbrella for her.

After getting out of the car, Ruan Muyang stepped into the mud with one foot.Taking a look, she realized that the carriage was sunk far deeper than she thought.

"Ma'am, I don't know when this carriage will be available. We won't be able to reach Yangzhou City tonight. They said there is a temple nearby. Let's go and stay there for the night." Han Shi said, wiping the water off his face.

It was raining so hard that it was useless to hold an umbrella, and Ruan Muyang's clothes were soaked to a large extent in no time.

Seeing the drenched appearance of the guard and driver, she immediately nodded and said, "Let's go to the temple first tonight."

Just as they packed up their things and were about to leave, a figure walking staggeringly from a distance walked over.

The man didn't hold an umbrella, was drenched all over, and was extremely embarrassed.They thought it was a beggar at first, but when someone got closer, they realized that it was a handsome young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Ma'am, why doesn't this person hold an umbrella?" Dian Cui whispered in Ruan Muyang's ear.

Ruan Muyang shook his head.

The man staggered past them, and when he passed by Ruan Muyang, he stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at her.It was raining so heavily, and Ruan Muyang was in a bit of a panic at this time, his hair was wet and stuck to his face, and a strand of it snaked along his neck and entered the neckline, and the wet part of his body was clinging to her body.

I don't want the man to take a look and then not look back, as if he has been glued to Ruan Muyang.

Thinking it was Deng Tuzi, Fa Lan and Dian Cui immediately stood in front of Ruan Muyang.

"Presumptuous!" Dian Cui shouted in a cold voice.

But who knew that as soon as she finished speaking, the man fell straight down, and fell at Ruan Muyang's feet, splashing mud all over her body, which shocked everyone.

Seeing that he passed out, Han Shi asked: "Ma'am, what should I do with this person?"

Diancui said without thinking, "What can Deng Tuzi save? Just let him drown in the muddy water!"

Ruan Muyang looked down at the man lying at his feet with his face covered in mud and frowned.
