The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 375

The sun was fine, and in a certain courtyard of Xiajun Wangfu, a man in white was sitting lazily under the shade of a tree in a corner of a flower bed, holding a book in his hand and reading it. Beside, there are light butterflies dancing around him.

There was a little maid hiding aside, staring at the beautiful scene in front of her with dazed eyes, for fear of disturbing the man on the wicker chair.

However, some annoying servants suddenly appeared, breaking the tranquility here with loud voices.

"Eldest Young Master, Prince Huai is here."

The man on the rattan chair raised his head from the book, was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, when he saw a dark blue figure suddenly appearing in the distance from the corner of his eyes, it was today's uninvited guest Zhao Yan.

Behind Zhao Yan was a servant in Tsing Yi, but seeing a familiar brocade box in his hand, Qin Zichuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he already understood the purpose of the other party's coming here.

"In Xiaqin Zichuan, I met His Highness, but I didn't know you came, but I couldn't meet you far away. I hope you will forgive me."

Qin Zichuan saluted the man respectfully, and immediately called his servants to have a bath with the good Biluochun.

"Brother Zichuan, you don't have to be so polite. I came here today to return a congratulatory gift for your wife. I hope you can forgive me for being disrespectful."

Zhao Yan got straight to the point and asked someone to present the congratulatory gift to the servant next to Qin Zichuan.

Qin Zichuan glanced at the box in the servant's hand, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but his voice was still very respectful.

"It's just a gift. If Madam doesn't like it, she can just throw it away. It's a sin to bother the prince to deliver it in person!"

"This king really wants to throw it away, but at least it's brother Zichuan's wish. After thinking about it, this king still thinks it should be sent back to you."

Zhao Yan stared at the man in front of him intently, trying to see a trace of abnormality from his face, but the face of the other party was always respectful, and there was no abnormality at all.

Glancing at the book in his hand, Zhao Yan suddenly found that the other party was holding a book of legends, and was a little surprised.

"Brother Zichuan, you and I can be regarded as brothers. This king has always hoped to get your help. If someone sent such a congratulatory gift, I wouldn't think too much about it, but Brother Zichuan's The congratulatory gift really made me a little uneasy, so I personally brought it to you."

At the end of Zhao Yan's speech, his voice suddenly turned cold, and his eyes seemed sharp: "Brother Zichuan is extremely smart, I think you must understand what I mean."

"My lord's being able to treat me as a brother really frightens me. To be honest, this gift was originally intended for my wife, but I didn't expect it to fall into His Highness's hands. But since you don't like it, I will take this gift back." yes."

Qin Zichuan saluted Zhao Yan unhurriedly, his words seemed to be respectful and correct, but Zhao Yan always felt a little uncomfortable.

According to him, this congratulatory gift was something he gave to Xiao Ruan and had nothing to do with him.But he took the initiative to come here to return the gift, which felt a bit like adding to the snake.

Zhao Yan was displeased, but thinking that when the other party sent someone to bring the gift, he had clearly stated that it was for Xiao Ruan, and for a while he was a little irrefutable.

But seeing the servants around him looking at him with strange expressions, Zhao Yan suddenly felt that his behavior of coming to look for Qin Zichuan was a bit rash.

He declared that Xiao Ruan was his wife, and after Xiao Ruan gave birth, all officials in Mengcheng congratulated him.

The reason why he is so sensitive to Qin Zichuan's behavior of sending congratulatory gifts is nothing more than that he feels that the other party not only knows the relationship between Xiao Ruan and himself, but also knows the relationship between himself and Zhao Feng, so he feels that the other party's behavior of sending congratulatory gifts is against him. A kind of humiliation mixed with a lot of malice.

But at this moment, Qin Zichuan didn't blame his brother, it seemed that he didn't know that he was Zhao Feng's biological son.

That's right, this matter is of great importance, how can Zhao Feng let others know easily?

However, this needs to be further clarified.

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Yan didn't want to stay here even more, so he exchanged greetings with Qin Zichuan and left in a hurry.

"Young master, why does this slave think His Highness Huai is so strange? We sent congratulatory gifts to congratulate him on his happy baby, which is obviously out of good intentions, but he was kind enough to be ungrateful, and even came here to return the gifts to us. Don’t you really look down on people?”

After Zhao Yan left, the servant who came to pass the message finally couldn't help complaining to Qin Zichuan, but Qin Zichuan's face was calm.

"Your Highness doesn't like it, of course there is a reason why he doesn't like it. Maybe he thinks this congratulatory gift is not sincere enough?"

"Isn't it sincere enough that we found something made by the most famous goldsmith in Mengcheng? I really don't understand. Don't noble people in the capital give this to their children?"

The servant touched the back of his head, his face full of doubts, while Qin Zichuan stared at the direction Zhao Yan was leaving, and suddenly the corners of his lips curled up.

"Since His Highness doesn't like this gift, I will give you another one."

After finishing speaking, Qin Zichuan directly threw the book of legends and legends in his hand to the servant: "Just give this to the lady, and just say that I gave her to amuse her."

"This... Eldest young master, are you not mistaken? We don't even want to give her a golden lock..."

The servant looked shocked, and when he realized it, he found that the other party had long since disappeared.After hesitating for a long time, the servant had no choice but to leave with the scripture book.

Xiao Ruan was also very surprised when she received the transcript from Qin Zichuan.

He quickly flipped through the contents inside, only to find that the book was brand new, as if it was specially bought as a gift for her.

Xiao Ruan couldn't see anything unusual, and saw that the servant who delivered the book was obviously ashamed but forced himself to be calm, amused in his heart, and sent him out with a wave of his hand.

When Zhao Yan learned that Qin Zichuan had asked someone to send a script, he flipped through it and found that the script was the one he had seen, and immediately frowned, thinking that Qin Zichuan had been angered by his behavior of returning the gift today. That's why the other party will use this unreasonable behavior.

Feeling slightly wronged, but this time Zhao Yan did not ask anyone to return the script.

Pei'er rushed back to Xiao Ruan's yard in the afternoon of the second day.

There was no sound in the yard, she entered Xiao Ruan's room softly.He thought the other party was resting, but as soon as the clinker entered the door, he saw her sitting sideways on the bed, staring sideways at the child beside him in a daze, and didn't even see her entering the room.

"Ma'am, this is the pea cake made by the servant girl. It's really delicious. Please try it!"

Pei'er walked to the bed, and handed the bowl of bean cake in her hand to Xiao Ruan's eyes as a fawning gesture, and Xiao Ruan slowly raised her head.

"Ma'am, what's the matter with you?"

Pei'er looked into Xiao Ruan's eyes in surprise, and the pea cake in her hand almost fell to the ground.

At this time, Xiao Ruan's face was covered with water, her eyelashes were full of tears, and her eyes were full of sadness, as if she had been wronged, and there was a book beside her.

Pei'er was startled, and hurriedly took out her handkerchief to wipe Xiao Ruan's tears, but seeing that she was in a bad mood, she dared not make a sound.

After a while, most of the worry on Xiao Ruan's face disappeared, and he took the initiative to pick up the pea cake that Pei'er put on the side, as if the thing he was crying secretly just now hadn't happened.

The pea cake made by Pei'er's mother is sweet and delicious, with a faint pea taste permeating between her lips and teeth. It is indeed slightly better than the pea cake she usually eats, but Xiao Ruan only ate a small piece and put it down.

"Didn't I allow you to stay at home for a few more days? Why did you come back so soon?"

Xiao Ruan just asked a casual question, but the smile on Pei'er's face froze instantly, looking at Xiao Ruan hesitantly as she wanted to speak but didn't dare to speak.

Xiao Ruan quickly noticed the abnormality, she looked at Pei'er's face carefully for a moment but did not speak, quietly waiting for Pei'er to speak.

"Madam, this servant knows that it is very inappropriate to tell you these things now, but... but this servant has no choice. I am afraid that this servant will not be able to stay by Madam's side in the future..."

Pei'er burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth, and her voice was a little choked up, obviously she was very reluctant to part with Xiao Ruan.

"What happened, why do you say that?"

Xiao Ruan frowned, and unconsciously raised her eyes to look at her.

If she remembers correctly, Pei'er is a group of maidservants recruited by the Prince Xia's mansion. Although she has not signed a contract of selling herself, she must work for a full year before she can leave.

Xiao Ruan allowed her to go home this time to provide her with convenience, but the other party cried and said that he could not serve her by her side, could it be...

"Your servant... something happened to my servant's family, and I will resign from the steward of the house tomorrow... But my servant really hates my wife..."

Pei'er wiped away her tears, as if she was worried about waking up the sleeping child, she didn't dare to make too much noise, but she couldn't control her own voice, so she covered her mouth and sobbed softly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruan's temples twitched slightly. Now she needs someone she can trust to help her with something, but Pei'er said she would leave the palace. In this way, her affairs should be handed over to who?
"Don't cry, what happened in your family? Why don't you tell me, if I can help, I won't stand by."

As soon as these words came out, Pei'er burst into tears again, and talked about the reason choked up.

"To tell you the truth, Ma'am, this time I went home to see the children of my elder brother's family. Unexpectedly... Unexpectedly, when I returned home, I got bad news. My elder brother's children were stolen, and my elder brother went to the mountain to chop firewood accidentally. I broke my leg...now the family is all taken care of by my sister-in-law, so...so my brother decided to sell me to Huozi from the next village to be his daughter-in-law..."

When Xiao Ruan heard the last word, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

In Pei'er's family, there is an old father who is sick in bed all the year round, and her mother is already old, so she can only do some light housework on weekdays, and her elder brother is the sole breadwinner for the family.

Now that brother broke his leg again, and his sister-in-law was stolen because of the child, I'm afraid... no no!wrong!
