The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 374 Qin Zichuan's Congratulatory Gift
"Back when I kept you by my side, it was because I thought I hit it off with you. If you have any requests, just say so. If I can help, I will naturally help you."

"My servant thanked Madam!"

Pei'er has always been a child with a temper, just now when she was holding the child and teasing her, she laughed the most happily than anyone else, but whenever she has something on her mind, she becomes gloomy and gloomy, as if she can't go on.

At this time, when she heard that Xiao Ruan could help her, she immediately knelt down in surprise, her eyes sparkling, as if Xiao Ruan was the living Bodhisattva in her eyes who saved the suffering.

"Speaking of which, what difficulties have you encountered?"

With a smile on the corner of Xiao Ruan's mouth, he waved lightly at her, motioning her to stand up and speak.

"Actually, there is nothing difficult for the servant, but just now when the lady asked the servant what reward she wanted, she immediately thought of her parents at home. The servant has not been home to reunite with her parents for nearly three months, and I miss her so much... ..."

After a while of hesitation, Pei'er finally spoke out what was hidden in her heart, but her heart was full of tension.

Dajin women always have to rest in bed for a month to take good care of their bodies after giving birth. Women in official families are even more particular. They have to stay in bed for seven to 49 days before the "month" ends.

Xiao Ruan kept her by his side to serve her, but she proposed to go home to visit her parents, which was really inappropriate.But as soon as she said it, she felt that it was too late to regret it.

"It turned out to be because of this. Honoring your parents is a good thing, so I shouldn't stop it. If you really miss it, go back and have a look."

Now that Xiao Ruan gave birth to a child within ten days, Pei'er expected that the other party would definitely not agree to her request, so when she heard Xiao Ruan's agreement, she almost jumped up happily.

"Ma'am, you, do you really agree that the servants will go back to visit their parents?"

"I have already promised you, maybe I will lie to you, but since you are going back to visit your father and mother, you might as well stay a little longer. If you don't have enough money, go get some more."

Pei'er wept with joy, and the tears flowed out in a flash: "Madam, you are so kind, I assure you, I will come back after seeing my parents, and I will do my best to take care of you in the future!"

As she spoke, Pei'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Xiao Ruan.

A dark color flashed in Xiao Ruan's eyes, but this time he was kowtowed by her.

Knowing that she was in a hurry to leave, Xiao Ruan allowed Pei'er to go back at that time, and brought a little maid to serve her closely.

When Zhao Yan came to visit Xiao Ruan, seeing the maid beside her, she thought that Pei Er had committed some wrongdoing and wanted to stand up for Xiao Ruan.

"Prince Xiajun's mansion does not allow newcomers to leave the mansion. This Pei'er is a newcomer. It's normal for her to miss her family. I'm not a Zhou Papier like Duke Xia, so I naturally agree with her to go back and see her parents."

When Zhao Yan heard her talking about King Xia, there was still faint anger in his voice, and he knew that she still didn't like King Xia.But because they were already a naked father-son relationship in Xiao Ruan's eyes, they changed the topic without realizing it.

"Why didn't I see you holding the child today..."

"Ma'am, the young master has sent a congratulatory gift."

Before Zhao Yan's voice fell, a voice suddenly sounded outside, and a servant came in from outside holding something.

"Eldest young master? What gift did he come to give?"

Hearing Qin Zichuan's name, Zhao Yan subconsciously remembered the scene where Xiao Ruan stood side by side with him at the gate of the courtyard, and his face suddenly turned a little ugly.

On weekdays, the two of them had no contact at all, and it was a bit abrupt to send a congratulatory gift today.

"Returning to Your Highness, the Eldest Young Master has just delivered a batch of goods. I heard that my wife gave birth to the Young Master, so I sent you a congratulatory gift."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan's face turned dark again.

Qin Zichuan often travels outside now, so it is impossible not to know Xiao Ruan's real identity.But whether the gift he sent was congratulations or satire is something that people ponder.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan's face immediately darkened: "Madam doesn't need his congratulatory gift, send it back to me immediately!"

"This……"

"And bring the congratulatory gift here, I want to see it."

The servant never expected that Zhao Yan would reject Qin Zichuan's congratulatory gift, he was hesitating whether to take it away, but Xiao Ran suddenly stopped him.

The servant took a sneak peek at Zhao Yan and saw her with a gloomy expression, but he didn't object, he hesitated for a moment before turning around and handing the gift to Xiao Ruan.

Ignoring Zhao Yan's black face, Xiao Ruan opened the gift box with a happy face, and suddenly found that the gift box contained a set of golden necklaces and bracelets.

The extremely beautiful golden lock on the collar is engraved with the words "longevity for a hundred years" and "a lifetime of wealth" on the front and back respectively.

The whole set of jewelry is in the middle distance, and it looks like a congratulatory gift for Xiao Ruan's children.

Xiao Ruan lightly stroked the lock in his hand, his eyes flickered slightly, and when he looked up again, his eyes immediately became more joyful: "Thank the young master for me, just say that I like his gift very much. "

"Ruan'er, if you like it, I'll ask someone to make a new set for the child. Why do you have to take what he sent?"

After the servant left, Zhao Yan looked displeased, staring at the collar in Xiao Ruan's hand, his eyes were full of confusion.

"But what does the prince mean? At the beginning, the young master saved my life, and I had no time to thank him in the future. Now that he kindly sent a congratulatory gift, how could I refuse to accept it?"

Xiao Ruan raised his eyes, his face was full of confusion, but he couldn't help thinking deeply.

Qin Zichuan and Zhao Yan are both Zhao Feng's sons, and Zhao Feng obviously intends to assist Zhao Yan to ascend to the throne.And Zhao Yan suddenly became more hostile to the parent-child wear. Could it be that Qin Zichuan also has the heart to fight for the position?
Qin Zichuan's expressionless face flashed in his mind, and Xiao Ran's hand holding the jewelry box unconsciously exerted a little more force.

Zhao Yan didn't know what Xiao Ruan was thinking, and couldn't say clearly that the other party was mocking him, so the corners of his mouth moved, but he didn't continue to argue with Xiao Ruan after all.

Seeing that Xiao Ruan's face seemed not as pale as the previous few days, he immediately sat down and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better these few days?"

"Thank you, my lord, for thinking about it. With the medicine prescribed by Dr. Wang, I am naturally better these few days."

Xiao Ruan's voice was flat, Zhao Yan wanted to say something to her, but found that because of his obstruction just now, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be awkward.

He thought about asking about the child's situation again, but found that the child was not in Xiao Ruan's room, so he was at a loss for words.

Thinking of Qin Zichuan's gift, he couldn't help but said for a while: "Qin Zichuan is not a good person, don't trust him too much."

Xiao Ruan was about to put away the jewelry box, when he heard Zhao Yan's words, his heart moved, and he suddenly raised his head: "The prince said that the young master has a bad character, do you know something?"

"You don't need to know too much, just don't have too much contact with him in the future."

Zhao Yan did not answer in detail, but exhorted solemnly.

A strange look flashed across Xiao Ruan's eyes, he looked at the jewelry box in his arms, and suddenly handed it to Zhao Yan: "Now I am under the protection of the prince, since you said that the young master cannot be trusted, this congratulatory gift will be given to me by the prince." Just go back."

"You... You were not... just now, I will return it for you."

Zhao Yan looked at the jewelry box in front of him in surprise, and suddenly saw Xiao Ruan staring at him trustingly, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart, he hesitated for a moment, and finally took the box.

But seeing that he really took the box, Xiao Ruan's face flashed a flash of understanding: "Actually, there is still one thing I don't understand, I wonder if you can explain it to me?"

"What do you want to know?"

Zhao Yan thought that Xiao Ruan was really wary of Qin Zichuan by talking to him, so he was slightly happy, and nodded immediately: "What do you want to know?"

"I want to know why Qin Zichuan's surname is not Zhao, but Qin."

Almost at the same time, without thinking, Xiao Ruan asked the doubts that had always been in his heart.

When she returned to the palace with Qin Zichuan, she asked Zhao Yan about this in person on the way, but the other party did not answer.Instead, he directly changed the subject and talked about Huo Xun's matter.

I still remember when Qin Zichuan said that Huo Xun would come to Mengcheng soon, so she made up her mind to stay in Xiajun Palace.After careful calculation, it has been more than ten days, and she still hasn't heard the news that Huo Xun came to Meng Cheng. Could it be true that as Zhao Yan said, the other party is not a trustworthy person?

If Qin Zichuan said that Huo Xun did it on purpose, what exactly was he trying to do?
Perhaps the doubts on Xiao Ruan's face were too obvious, and Zhao Yan suddenly smiled.

In Zhao Yan's impression, Xiao Ran was extremely intelligent and rarely had any confusion, but today, because Qin Zichuan's surname was so curious, he thought about it and told her what Zhao Feng said.

"Qin Zichuan's temperament has changed a lot since his mother's death, so I don't let you have too much contact with him. But he is still the young master of the palace. If you offend him, it will inevitably cause trouble. I just want to protect you when the time comes. , and there will always be loopholes for him to take advantage of.”

Zhao Yan intentionally said that Qin Zichuan's temperament was impermanent, although it was completely different from the evaluation of Qin Zichuan by the servants in the mansion, but Xiao Ruan did not feel suspicious.

She didn't have much contact with Qin Zichuan, but the thrilling experience of those few days was enough for her to realize Qin Zichuan's mood swings.

But Zhao Yan's words were all about persuading her to stay away, Xiao Ruan followed his plan and nodded knowingly to express his understanding.

"According to what the lord said, this young master is really not a person to be friends with. The lord should always be on guard."

Zhao Yan just wanted to persuade Xiao Ruan to stay away from Qin Zichuan, but he didn't expect the other party to persuade him instead.Suddenly there was a warm feeling in my heart, I grabbed Xiao Ruan's hand and put it on my chest, looking affectionately into Xiao Ruan's eyes.

"Ruan'er can care about this king so much, it's because I was cheated by him now, I don't feel annoyed."

Zhao Yan's hands were strong, his eyes were bright, and his face seemed to be shining. Xiao Ruan suddenly thought of the things that used him in the past.For a while, I felt a little bit ashamed again, so I got up to deal with him.
