After the wedding date was finalized, Ruan Zhen became busy.

Moyuan

"The imperial concubine wanted to give Miss Qi's dowry? But didn't she say that everything would be paid out of the public account of the Duke's palace and the housekeeper would be responsible for it?" Tan Yun said in surprise.

"Mom said that because she was considerate of me. But how can I accept it openly?" Ruan Zhen gave her a look.

From the perspective of interests, it is beneficial and harmless to have a closer relationship between the Guogong Mansion and the Yi Mansion. However, both families are sincere, and from the beginning to the end, no one has ever thought about it.

Sheng Wan came forward simply because of Qi Chuxin's good relationship with her and because of his acquaintance with Mrs. Yi.

Mother Ge nodded: "What the Crown Princess said is true, but I feel that half of it goes to the public account and half of it comes from your hand. This is the most appropriate thing."

As she said that, she went to twist Tan Yun's ears again: "Over the years, I don't think you have learned the slightest bit about how to behave in the world. Madam, she loves our Crown Princess like that out of love, not out of duty.

If Madam can do this, shouldn’t we, the Crown Princess, be considerate and go back?”

Tan Yun felt that if she continued like this, her ears would become useless sooner or later.

"Mom, be gentle, be gentle."

"If it's not heavy, you won't be able to remember it!"

"It hurts, it hurts."

"It's okay to know it hurts!"

Ruan Zhen pondered for a moment, and the stack of banknotes that Gu Huaizhi gave her when she went out was still in her hand.

But if you want to buy a dowry, banknotes alone are obviously not enough: "What my mother said is that the betrothal gift when I got married, and the gifts from various houses when I got married, were all in my name. I remember that I made a separate book at that time.

Let’s take this opportunity to take care of things properly.”

Ge's mother said quickly: "I made a separate booklet, which family gave it to me, and which noble family and children came. I wrote it down one by one. I will go find it now."

Shortly after Mama Ge left, Chang Su strode over and waited outside the door respectfully: "The Crown Princess has some free time. If it is convenient for me to go down to the library, the master will be waiting there."

Library?

"Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know."

"Come here." Ruan Zhen stood up.

There were countless small paths in the library. If no one was there to guide her, she would really get lost.

Tan Yun quickly followed. When she passed Chang Su, she glared at him with bared teeth.

Chang Su frowned, but he saw Tan Yun's red ears. As he led the way, he frowned and couldn't help but raise his chin: "Just look at me and your ears are red. Are you shy?"

Ruan Zhen paused:???

Tan Yun pulled at the veil angrily.

Just when he was about to curse, Ruan Zhen heard a protective smile: "These days, after the injury has healed, have you forgotten the pain? I think the punishment last time was too light."

Chang Su's arrogant and proud mood collapsed.

"My subordinates dare not."

"Tan Yun is a girl after all. She is thin-skinned. How can she stand up to your teasing?"

Ruan Zhen stared at him. Her side face was quiet, as gentle as an ink painting. However, her appearance was beautiful, and under the impact of the two, it became more and more touching.

"I heard that you have been quite close to the maid in your mother's yard in recent days?"

Not long ago, a group of maids were added to the house, and one of them was assigned to work as a servant in Sheng Wan's courtyard. She was good-looking and had a pleasant temperament. However, after she saw Chang Su, she became very attentive and secretly flirted with her.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the maid is attracted to Chang Su.

Also, Chang Su has extraordinary temperament, appearance, and abilities. It is normal for a girl to like him.

Her voice was soft and soft, but it inexplicably sent a chill down Chang Su's back. He didn't know what was wrong, and couldn't help but look at Tan Yun out of the corner of his eye.

Tan Yun snorted: "I've seen that girl before. She has a nose and eyes. How come she's blind? She wants to be your sweetheart."

Chang Su frowned: "What a good relationship, please don't smear my reputation. It's her who is pestering me. She was pretentious and tried to pounce on me just a stick of incense ago."

Ruan Zhen: "You hid?"

Chang Su: "No. I couldn't hold it back..."

Ruan Zhen didn't want to hear anymore. She took a deep breath and obviously didn't want to say more: "Okay, lead the way."

She originally thought that Chang Su was different from Tan Yun, but now it seems that she had misunderstood. Even so, Chang Su should not have teased Tan Yun unabashedly.

Eat from the bowl and look at the food from the pot.

Scum!

No more words were spoken along the way.

There are four floors in the library, with all books. Gu Huaizhi was lying on the sandalwood chair on the far right side of the first floor, flipping through the books with his knuckled hands, looking relaxed.

After hearing the footsteps, he raised his eyes and met Ruan Zhen's gaze. The man's thin lips slightly raised, he raised his hand and hooked his fingertips: "Come here."

Ruan Zhen walked forward slowly. When she got closer, she turned back and glanced at Chang Su behind her.

The young lady pursed her lips: "Husband."

"Changsu good things are coming soon."

Gu Huaizhi:?

Changsu:???Huh??

"He and the girls in his mother's yard hugged each other."

Chang Su: "I don't have any!"

"I think he can't just turn around and leave after taking advantage. He said not long ago that he couldn't hold it in anymore."

Chang Su sweated on his forehead: "I really don't have any."

Ruan Zhen saw that his expression didn't look like he was lying, and she frowned. Her expression became more serious: "He still lied to me!"

Gu Huaizhi glanced at Chang Su with a faint expression, but it put endless pressure on Chang Su.

"I didn't hug her, I just couldn't control my hand and slapped the person."

Ruan Zhen:???

Chang Su was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so he quickly added: "The housekeeper has asked people to carry her to the hospital, but I held back my strength. Although the person's mouth was dripping with blood, she will not die."

I couldn't blame him. He tried to persuade me and refused him many times, but that person just stared at him like a wolf. This slap was a warning.

After Tan Yun heard this, he silently took a step back.

Chang Su: “What do you mean?”

"Cruel!" Tan Yun trembled. As long as she thought of provoking Chang Su again and again these days, she was extremely grateful that her limbs were sound at the moment, with no missing arms or legs.

"I learned it from my master!"

Gu Huaizhi had previously rejected the female family members and let Xiao Hui go directly! In comparison, Chang Su was already merciful.

Gu Huaizhi had a headache from the noise. He said in a calm tone: "Get out."

After a long pause, he quickly bowed respectfully and left.

Tan Yun had complicated thoughts, so he kept a distance from Chang Su and retreated.

The library returned to calm.

The man slowly closed the book and looked at Ruan Zhen with a faint expression.

His dark eyes were heavy, his voice was light, a sigh escaped from his mouth, and then he half-smiled: "Do you think I'm cruel, madam?"

Ruan Zhen was silent.

She remained silent.

It would be cruel to put it on Chang Su, but it would be cruel to put it on Gu Huaizhi. Why do you think it should be like this?

Well! You really can’t let the woman next to you get close.

"Not cruel."

"Oh." Gu Huaizhi responded perfunctorily, not sure whether he believed it or not.
