When I think about a dream, thousands of sorrowful thoughts arise.

Ruan Zhen opened her eyes suddenly, put her plain white hand on her heart, and gasped for air.

Her heart was beating like thunder, as if all her emotions were exploding to the extreme.

A thin line of sweat broke out on the woman's forehead, but she could not regain her consciousness for a long time.

Perhaps, from a righteous perspective, there was no solution to the situation at that time.

Ruan Zhen admitted that what the Mu family father and son did was worthy of admiration, but for her, the sufferings of her previous life over the years would not disappear, let alone be indelible.

Ruan Zhen lowered her eyes and rested her head on Gu Huaizhi's chest, hearing the man's shallow breathing next to her ear.

The man's hand on his waist never loosened even in his dream.

Gu Huaizhi was so domineering even when he was sleeping.

After all, Ruan Zhen was affected by the dream and suffered from insomnia.

She couldn't help it, and tapped Gu Huaizhi's waist with her white and tender fingertips.

Clicked again.

"Ruan Zhen!"

Gu Huaizhi raised his eyelids, his eyes as black as ink, and looked at the perpetrator like this, his tone as cold as water.

"Husband, I can't sleep anymore." The young lady was not afraid and looked back with watery eyes.

"You can't sleep, so you wake me up?"

Ruan Zhen responded softly.

"kindness."

Gu Huaizhi laughed angrily.

"Where did you get this fallacy?"

Which woman is so bold and dares to act like this?

If Ruan Zhen doesn't train him, he will really get on top of him!

Gu Huaizhi had a dark face, obviously considering asking Ruan Zhen to write down the female precepts several times as a warning.

"Husband."

The woman's gentle voice had an imperceptible fragility that reached her ears.

"I feel a little uncomfortable, can you hold me tighter?"

The scolding in Gu Huaizhi's mouth fell silent.

"I miss my aunt."

The young lady's voice trembled, and big tears rolled down, soaking Gu Huaizhi's clothes, but seemed to burn all his nerves.

Gu Huaizhi was no longer sleepy. While he was at a loss, he even wanted to kill someone to calm down.

Ruan Zhen cried just because she said she was going to cry!

Ruan Zhen really misses Ruan Xi.

All her memories of her youth were with Ruan Xi, and the only thing left was the Ruan father and Ruan mother that Ruan Xi told about.

Everyone who has met Ruan Xi knows her beauty, but they don't know how many needle marks she left on her fingertips due to her embroidery work.

"After my parents died, my aunt's embroidery was not recognized by the large embroidery shop in Lin'an. Life was very difficult at that time. Neighbors said it was not easy for my aunt. Yunying was not married, so she had to bring a small oil bottle."

Gu Huai paused. He knew this. He already knew everything about Ruan Zhen after she entered the Ruan family.

But he knew that when the little lady said something that made him angry and powerless, with a grievance and cry, his heart was touched differently.

He felt distressed,

I felt so distressed that I felt that I was not good enough for Ruan Zhen.

"I am a girl. In the eyes of the poor, I can be sold anywhere at a low price."

"At that time, someone came to my home and said that I was born well. They promised to sell me to a wealthy family as a girl and not send me to a dirty brothel. The other party could give me ten taels of silver."

Ten taels of silver was already a sky-high price at that time. Several families in the surrounding area only sold their daughters for three or four taels, and some even only paid for a few buckets of rice.

But Ruan Xi refused with a cold face.

She hugged Ruan Zhen and drove the man away, saying: "Get out! Even if I die poor, I don't have to sell my niece's money to live on."

Afterwards, she rubbed Ruan Zhen's hair and said, "Don't be afraid, Zhen Zhen. As long as my aunt is alive, she will never abandon you."

But she and Ruan Xi are not related by blood. Ruan Xi was thinking about her even until his death.

Ruan Zhen felt uncomfortable just thinking about this.

Without her, my aunt wouldn't be in such hardship, working day and night on embroidery just to make a living, so wouldn't she be targeted by Fan Cheng and forced into the mansion?

She is the source of all the aunt's misfortunes.

But Ruan Xi enjoyed it as if it were sweet rice.

Gu Huaizhi pursed his thin lips tightly. He clasped Ruan Zhen's hand around his waist and slowly tightened it.

After a little effort, he simply let Ruan Zhen lie on top of him.

He gently caressed the woman's slender back. At an angle that Ruan Zhen could not see, her jawline tightened, and the warmth in her eyes also faded away. Then the resentment towards the General's Mansion grew deeper and deeper.

He was just lucky that Ruan Zhen didn't know that his life experience was rough.

Otherwise, the little lady would be so sad. Looking at the overall situation, she is obviously the most innocent one, but she has suffered all these things that she should not have suffered.

When Mrs. Mu died that year, Mu Youde left the five-year-old princess in Wunan to observe mourning. He took her back to Lin'an three years later.

The servants and maids who served the young princess in the past three years blurred her poor memory all the time.

As she grew older, the appearance of the little princess changed drastically. Who would have known that the girl from the General's Mansion was supposed to be the daughter of Prince Jing.

Because her daughter was by her side, Jiang Yi smiled more and the depression in her heart was relieved a lot. She followed the doctor's instructions and her health improved accordingly.

Everything is getting better.

Except Ruan Zhen.

Gu Huaizhi was never a good person. He even expected that when this incident completely broke out and the secrets for many years could no longer be hidden, the entire General's Mansion would be completely wiped out.

Recognize your ancestors and return to your clan?

ridiculous.

The Mu family only generates kindness, but does not cultivate it. How can we talk about recognizing our ancestors and returning to our clan?

Sheng En has long been repaid after all these grievances and tribulations.

Ruan Zhen is a member of the Gu family and is his wife. The Gu family is her ancestor. It is enough for Ruan Zhen to be protected by Gu Huaizhi.

"Cry, I won't laugh at you." His voice was rare and gentle, so gentle that Ruan Zhen thought it was Gu Huaizhi who wanted to marry her as a wife despite the rumors.

She sniffed: "Are you like this, making me a little scared?"

Gu Huaizhi:......

"Is it wrong to be nice to you?"

Ruan Zhen shook his head, his eye circles were red.

She just sometimes felt that she was not worthy of Gu Huaizhi's affection.

"Can you stop being so nice to me?" she whispered.

Gu Huaizhi was silent for a few seconds. He suddenly felt ridiculous: "Then I go to greet the crooked melons and cracked jujubes outside?"

"No!" Ruan Zhen suddenly raised her head, touched Gu Huaizhi's face with both hands, and stood straight.

Tsk, it turns out I didn’t even know that.

Gu Huaizhi didn't have a temper either, so he still let her pinch his face very patiently.

"Are you still sleeping?"

Ruan Zhen shook her head. After crying for a while, she felt a little embarrassed and said, "I'm a little hungry."

Gu Huaizhi:......

He wanted to ridicule, but he held back after touching Ruan Zhen's red and swollen eyes. He thought that all his patience was left to Ruan Zhen.

He heard himself ask, "What do you want to eat?"

Ruan Zhen probed: "Is everything possible?"

Gu Huaizhi:......

He said silently: "Wontons are easy to digest."

Ruan Zhen: "Okay."

The kitchen has cooks who take turns at night, so that they can prepare meals for the masters even at night.

Ruan Zhen got up from Gu Huaizhi

She was in a trance, watching Gu Huaizhi get up and get dressed slowly. She watched the man turn his head and said in a jade-like voice: "Ruan Zhen. Maybe I haven't said it, but I always feel that if you don't say it, you won't know."

Ruan Zhen blinked.
