Empress Dowager: Husband, please lie down

Chapter 2

"So what about the eldest son! Their house is not half as prosperous as ours now, and they are still ordered by the emperor not to leave the house for the rest of their lives. What else can my daughter do except suffer after marrying? No matter, I won't marry!"

Ruan Jing crossed her arms and said savagely, "If you insist on letting me marry, I'd rather slam my head against this wall to my death!"

Threatened by Ruan Jing like this, the Xu family has nothing to do now.

"Mom, I have a solution!"

After a while, I saw Ruan Jing whispering in Xu's ear with a full face of excitement, and the mother and daughter nodded triumphantly and smiled at each other.

At night, after Xu tried her best to make Ruan Hongwei comfortable, she lay beside her and said coquettishly, "Master, why don't you let Er Yue do the marriage between Jing'er and Yin Shizi!"

Ruan Hongwei frowned, and after listening to Xu's narration of the whole matter, he finally nodded in agreement.

The next day, Mrs. Xu took Ruan Jing to Ruan Eryue's yard happily.

"February, these are the clothes and other supplies that your mother bought for you. Do you think it suits you?"

As soon as Xu entered the door, she said to Ruan Eryue, who was lying by the window, copying Yan Zhenqing's original work seriously.

As soon as Ruan Eryue looked up, she saw Mrs. Xu waving her hand, and several women behind her came up carrying a few boxes and placed them at Ruan Eryue's feet.

"What does mother mean by this?"

Ruan Eryue frowned slightly.

She lost her biological mother since she was a child. Except that she was often bullied by other brothers and sisters in the house when she was a child, she chose to stay alone in her small yard most of the time.

Listening to Ruan Eryue's soft and gentle questioning voice, Mrs. Xu carefully looked at the girl in front of her who she rarely saw once in half a year.

Ruan Eryue is Ruan Hongwei's seventh concubine, born to Aunt He.It was also the fourth young lady who was born in the mansion. However, her aunt passed away after giving birth to her because of dystocia.

In the early years, Aunt He and Ruan Hongwei had some feelings back then.After her death, Ruan Hongwei gradually calmed down, and she managed to draw Ruan Hongwei's eyes to herself.

Although she is her own daughter, Ruan Hongwei doesn't care about Ruan Eryue.At the beginning, Ruan Eryue's voice was in February, so Ruan Hongwei gave it a random name, and it was called Eryue.

However, with the passage of time, Ruan Eryue, who is only 15 years old now, has become more and more slim, and gradually has the beautiful outline of Aunt He.

Mrs. Xu frowned, and said directly, "February, I will tell you directly. Prince Jing's son Yin has reached the age of marriage, and the emperor ordered that our general's mansion must select a young lady to marry him. Therefore, I have discussed with your father, and you will marry me."

"Marry Yin Shizi?"

Ruan Eryue frowned even tighter, "But mother, Er Yue heard that Shizi Yin is not in good health... and I have never met him before, and I don't know him well, so how can I marry him so easily?"

"So what's wrong with poor health? He's a high-ranking son! With your status as a concubine, you're still a high-ranking man to marry Mr. Yin! How dare you dislike other people's poor health, and you want to know about it before you marry? Ruan Eryue, do you take yourself too seriously?"

Hearing what Ruan Eryue said, Ruan Jing, who was standing aside, sneered twice, and sneered unabashedly.

"I……"

Ruan Eryue was not good at arguing with others since she was a child, and now her face turned pink when she was ridiculed by Ruan Jing's words, and she didn't know how to answer.

Under Ruan Jing's and Xu's disgusted eyes, Ruan Eryue raised her head and asked softly, "Mother, can Er Yue not marry? Er Yue is still young and doesn't want to marry yet..."

She has three older sisters and two older brothers, none of whom are married yet, so why is it her turn to get married?

Seeing that she dared to refuse Ruan Eryue's good words, Mrs. Xu became a little impatient at the moment. She waved the brocade handkerchief in her hand and said coldly, "If you don't want to marry, you won't marry? This matter is settled like this , I have also discussed with your father, and tomorrow I will hand over your Geng Tie to the palace, and let Princess Jing find someone to settle the matter. This matter is beyond your control!"

After all, Ruan Jing slammed the door and left with a mocking face.

The women carrying the cage also stared at Ruan Eryue several times with a look of ignorance before going out with a cold snort.

Looking at the cages on the ground, Ruan Eryue squatted down weakly, tears dripping silently to the ground.

"Miss, are you alright?"

At this moment, Que'er, who had gone to the kitchen to get lunch, had just returned, holding the food in her hands, and asked with concern, "Did Miss and the others bully you again? This servant just met them at the door."

Ruan Eryue shook her head lightly, but did not answer.

Seeing the cage on the ground, and remembering the voices of women talking at the door just now, Que'er hurriedly put down the food, went to Ruan Eryue to help her up, and said distressedly, "If it wasn't for Auntie who left early, miss They won't be insulted so much! Bah, these people are relying on the support of the master, and they are always beating Miss Jian!"

"Even if my mother is still there, what's the use?"

Ruan Eryue said disheartenedly, "Others have noble status, but I'm just a leaf of duckweed in this mansion, I have no one to rely on, no one cares..."

"Miss……"

Hearing what Ruan Eryue said, Que'er was even more distressed. With red eyes, she supported Ruan Eryue, not knowing how to comfort her.

Xu Shi and Ruan Jing went back to the house relaxed, only thinking about this time, Ruan Eryue must marry if she is married, or marry if she is not!It's not up to her to choose.

Therefore, they did not take Ruan Eryue's refusal to heart.Thinking about it, even if she didn't want to, she wouldn't dare not marry.

Unexpectedly, before dawn on the second day, the entire General's Mansion was already noisy, waking up Xu Shi and Ruan Hongwei who were still in their dreams.

"Master, madam! It's not good! Something happened to Fourth Miss!"

Outside the door, Ping'er, Xu's personal servant girl, shouted in panic.

Mrs. Xu frowned, glanced at Ruan Hongwei who was also woken up with displeasure, put on her clothes and got off the ground, and shouted at Ping'er, "What's the matter? Come in and answer!"

"Ma'am, just now Que'er next to Miss Fourth was talking back, saying that Miss Fourth committed suicide by cutting her wrists!"

Ping'er ran in trembling all over, and said to Mrs. Xu.

Oh?Fourth girl actually dared to do these things just because she didn't want to marry Shizi Yin?

"Have you invited a doctor to go for treatment?"

Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows, and asked casually, "How is Si Yatou now?"

Remembering that Ruan Hongwei was still on the bed, Xu hurriedly pretended to be very concerned about Ruan Eryue, asked Ping'er to change her clothes, and said distressedly, "This silly girl, I really don't know what she is thinking. Yesterday, Jinger and I tried to comfort her like that, I thought she would listen, but who would be so stupid! I really don’t know, if she did this, did she think about it for us as parents, how much we feel sorry for you?!”

In his tone, he didn't understand anything Ruan Eryue said.Ruan Hongwei, who was already frowning, frowned even tighter.

As he said that, he said anxiously to Ruan Hongwei, "Master, I will go and have a look."

Ruan Hongwei replied lightly, but didn't speak, let alone get up.Looking at this appearance, it doesn't look like something happened to his own daughter, it's clearly someone who has nothing to do with it!
People are cold!
