Ruan Zhen returned to Hanlianyuan with unexplainable complex emotions.

An Qizheng and Tan Yun were sitting on the stone bench picking flower petals.

Looking from a distance, the stone table is covered with bouquets of flowers, with lush green leaves and delicate flowers. You can smell their fragrance without even walking in.

"Girl." Tan Yun stood up and blessed his body.

"This is An Qi's pick. Just take a look."

Ruan Zhen approached and took one casually, unable to help but sigh.

"What kind of variety is this? How come I've never seen it before? It looks extremely expensive. Where did you pick it?"

An Qi rubbed his nose, his expression unchanged.

"Those picked casually outside are not valuable. There are many over there. If the girl likes them, I will pick more next time."

Ruan Zhen smiled and believed it, without asking any more questions: "That's enough."

As she spoke, she sat down next to the two of them, and accompanied them as she picked off the petals one by one and put them into the basket next to them.

Before I finished one flower, I saw Ge’s mother hurried in from outside with a bad look on her face.

Ruan Zhen raised her eyes, suspicion flashed across her face.

Mother Ge stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Girl, Mrs. Shen who is with the old lady of Yong'an Marquis has come to see me privately and asks you to meet her."

When Ruan Zhen heard this, her smile froze.

It's no wonder that Sheng Wan gave many instructions a few days ago, and he had expected this.

Mother Ge had an angry look on her face. Thinking of Mrs. Shen's rogue behavior just now, she became extremely angry.

She really didn't understand why Mrs. Shen had the dignity to be so arrogant right now.

Extremely shameless!

Open and shut your mouth just to see the girl.

——The old lady asked me to pass on a message. This is what I must say to the girl face to face. Why are you trying to stop her?

——Don’t see me? The girl is docile, not those white-eyed wolves! You can’t tolerate me! Mother Ge, don’t forget the distinction of priorities just because you are serving the girl, be her boss!

——Now that I can’t see the Hou Mansion, how can the girl not recognize her grandmother?

Grandmother? What kind of grandmother is this?

It’s also a credit to her for being able to speak out.

However, the other side had placed all their hopes on Ruan Zhen, and Mrs. Shen even broke the jar and dropped her harsh words.

——Even though I’m here today, I have to meet someone before I can leave. If you push me further, I’ll put my life on the line at the door of the Duke’s Mansion. I want the world to see where I am from.

The girl is so cruel? My life is worthless, but it is not as noble as the girl's reputation.

If Mrs. Shen dies, she will die. She is not a good person anyway.

But if everyone knew about her trouble...

Mother Ge was worried after all. If Mrs. Shen made such a fuss, the people in the Duke's Mansion would be prejudiced against Ruan Zhen.

Ruan Zhen was silent for a while and slowly put down the flowers in her hand.

Feeling a little depressed: "Where is she now?"

"Waiting outside the side door."

"Bring her here."

"Girl!" Tan Yun exclaimed.

Ruan Zhen glanced at her reassuringly.

"A dog that bites can't bark. She's just bluffing. If we let her die, does she really dare to die?"

Her face was calm.

It is true that Mrs. Shen can't do anything to her if she doesn't see her.

If it weren't for the fear of offending the Duke's government, he would have made a fuss long ago. Why would he go to a side door privately to find Mother Ge?

The Hou Mansion has been in chaos these days. Mrs. Fan thought she was easy to handle, so she didn't even come to the house in person, but only sent the servants around her.

I'm just afraid... that I will disappoint her.

Ruan Zhen said calmly: "Go ahead, it's not a big deal if you keep the door closed all the time."

Mother Ge sighed in her heart, but there was no other way. She could only go to the side door step by step.

Mrs. Shen still stood where she was.

She said angrily: "Follow me."

Mrs. Shen was so proud that she twisted her fat body and said, "I just said, how could the girl not see me?"

Hearing this, Ge's mother sneered, but said nothing. She just led her in the direction of Hanliyuan.

Mrs. Shen looked around, wishing she could walk all over the Duke's mansion.

She knows Ruan Zhen's situation best these years, but she can't help it. She is just here to act rogue.

She has no time to open her mouth.

"Look at this incredible wealth. This old woman has never seen such a magnificent house. The girl is lucky. She was protected by the Marquis's Mansion in the past and supported by the Duke's Mansion in the back."

Ge's mother couldn't help but spit in her face.

After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, she started to sigh again.

"It's not like our old lady. She has been so worried these past few days, she has lost weight visibly, and she can't sleep well every night."

Mother Ge said unfavorably: "There is no need to say these words to a servant like me! You are here just to catch the autumn wind, why do you want to be so miserable?"

"you!"

Mother Ge didn't give any face at all: "I am a slave, after all, I cannot be the master of my master."

Mrs. Shen:......

She finally shut up.

Until I entered Hanlianyuan.

I saw Ruan Zhen drinking tea on the stone table in the courtyard.

She is wearing a long plain satin dress embroidered with magnolia branches, with a waist that cannot be grasped. She is tied with an embroidered girdle, and a piece of mutton-fat jade hangs around her waist. Her head is as elegant as ever.

Her skin is as white as snow and as white as fat.

She couldn't help but gasp.

I always feel that Ruan Zhen seems even more beautiful after not seeing her for a few days.

Sure enough, it was the reincarnation of the goblin. The old lady was right. The prince's mansion had fallen to this point, perhaps because of the cousin.

She patted her butt and went to the Duke's mansion and left. How could such a good thing happen?

She suppressed her thoughts and took a step forward, which blessed her body.

"Please greet me, girl."

Ruan Zhen put down the tea cup in her hand and looked at the mother-in-law in front of her quietly.

With a gold hairpin on her head, she was dressed very decently. Her brows and eyes looked capable and smooth.

Ruan Zhen said nothing.

Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "Looking at the girl like this, I guess she has not been wronged in the Duke's Mansion. If the old lady knew about it, she would be relieved."

"Young lady, please go back and take a look. The old lady is thinking very hard."

Her mouth is also clever.

Ruan Zhen's eyes trembled. She was too lazy to deal with her.

Tan Yun took a step forward: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. What do you mean by beating around the bush?"

An Qi nodded. She stood tightly in front of Ruan Zhen, already prepared. As long as Ruan Zhen spoke, she would be scared to death of this old guy.

Mrs. Shen had a meal.

Then the smile faded by half.

She stood up straight: "Now the Hou Mansion is facing a disaster, and a century-old foundation is about to be destroyed. The old lady has always loved the girl, and she only asks the prince to help her."

Ruan Zhen couldn't help but chuckle.

Now that there is no hope for Fan Cheng to resume his official position, Fan Kun reconciles with the Xu family and naturally loses contact with the Chi family. It is indeed precarious and difficult.

"What are you laughing at, girl?" Mrs. Shen narrowed her eyes.

"Is this really what Mrs. Fan said?" Ruan Zhen asked with a calm face.

"How can this be false?"

Ruan Zhen took out the handkerchief and gently wiped her red lips.

His voice was still gentle, but it was wrapped in a layer of coolness.

"Don't say that I am not married yet. Even if I become the heirloom, Mrs. Fan loves me so much. She knows that the bride cannot stand. She will never make such a request and let me suffer the consequences of my mother-in-law and husband.
