Chapter 40 The price is a bit high(1/2)

Mrs. Xu pushed Ruan Zhen, but she was still upset.

"Ruan Zhen, you are plotting against me!"

Ruan Zhen was unprepared and hit the pillar behind her hard. Her face turned pale in pain.

Mrs. Xu has never been a forbearing person, and Ruan Zhen expected her to be annoyed.

She asked in a low voice: "Is what I said mixed with even a hint of lies?"

Xu choked up.

"I don't care about this, you are just slandering me in front of grandma!"

Ruan Zhen was too lazy to argue with her anymore: "I was wrong. I will go to the old lady to explain now."

"Explain what?"

"I just made it all up. My sister-in-law has a gentle temperament, and she will never have a dispute with the Duke's wife."

Gentle?

You can shut up!

Xu was so angry that her mouth almost twisted.

She felt that Ruan Zhen was trying to harm her!

Poisonous woman!

If she said this, Mrs. Fan would think that she was the one who forced Ruan Zhen.

She gritted her teeth: "What if you come back in the Duke's carriage? Don't be proud!"

The pain behind her was reduced a lot, and Ruan Zhen looked into Mrs. Xu's vicious eyes. She really didn't know how the Xu family could raise such a heartless daughter.

There must be this reason why Fan Kun married her.

Mr. Xu is stupid and easy to control.

It will be convenient to divorce your wife in the future.

Divorce Xu and marry a wife who will help him flourish.

Ruan Zhen pursed her lips: "Madam is kind, the two houses are far apart, and she can't bear to let me come back."

Xu's eyebrows and her heart beat: "Are you saying I'm vicious?"

Ruan Zhen frowned, then smiled with a soft voice.

"Sister-in-law, why do you criticize yourself so much when others say you don't care?"

Mrs. Xu: ...This little hoof has a really powerful mouth.

This time, Mrs. Xu was very angry.

Ruan Zhen returned to the yard with cold feet. The first thing she did was to take off her jade bracelet and find a box to put it in.

Mother Ge rolled up her sleeves, poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Ruan Zhen.

Her eyes were kind, but she was worried: "Are they going to embarrass the girl this time?"

Ruan Zhen naturally wouldn't talk about those bad things. She took a sip of tea and felt the warmth in her heart. She couldn't help but arch her eyebrows.

"No problem."

Tan Yun ran in from outside.

"I know the girl hasn't eaten, so I went to the kitchen to make your favorite noodles. Eat it while it's hot."

As she spoke, she opened the food box.

The fragrance hits your face.

In a white porcelain bowl, steaming hot and attractively colored shredded chicken noodles are nestled with fried golden poached eggs.

Ruan Zhen was also really hungry, so she took a bite of the fried egg. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the yolk was runny.

She was afraid that the yolk would flow out, so she took a sip immediately. The fragrance spread between her lips and teeth.

It’s not easy to make a simple noodle dish that’s appealing and delicious.

She praised: "Your skills are getting better and better."

Before Tan Yun could feel proud, Mother Ge knocked him back to his original form.

"Girl, please stop praising her, this girl is only good at cooking."

Tan Yun curled her lips, the cold wind was biting outside the house, she closed the window and ran to the corner to pluck the rabbit's ears.

Ruan Zhen smiled, her eyes gentle.

Now the city gates are locked, the imperial guards are roaming around, and the gates of the prince's mansion are closed tightly. No one can go in or out unless there is something important.

She still has to wait for this storm to pass before looking for an opportunity.

Just as I was thinking about it, my eyebrows moved. I remembered something.

Yes.

Flower Festival.

Just as I was thinking, I heard footsteps approaching from far outside the house.

Immediately afterwards, there was an unfamiliar female voice.

"Girl, the younger one is Mrs. Zhou from the Embroidery Pavilion. I have the old lady's order to measure your size. I wonder if it's convenient for me."

Ruan Zhen put down her silver chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, rinsed her mouth, and motioned to Tan Yun to open the door.

What came was a round-faced woman in her thirties with bun-haired hair.

"It's cold outside, please make this trip."

Xiufanghuage is the best ready-to-wear shop in Lin'an, with exquisite fabrics and expensive prices.

Madam Zhou has been to many mansions, and even the ladies in the palace have taken measurements, so she is well-informed.

She originally thought that Taifu Liu's legitimate daughter was the most iconic girl in Lin'an, but to her surprise, the one in front of her was not inferior at all, and was even a bit more beautiful.

She was blessed with good health and a eloquent tongue.

"The Hou Mansion is a distinguished guest of the Embroidery Pavilion. As soon as I heard Mrs. Fan's letter, I rushed here eagerly."

Ruan Zhen stood up and let her come forward.

Madam Zhou took out a soft ruler, measured its various dimensions, and then wrote them down one by one.

She took the time to ask.

"Does the girl have a favorite style?"

Ruan Zhen didn't like others getting too close, so she frowned slightly, but endured the measurement of her bust.

"It's up to you."

Madam Zhou smiled.

"Mrs. Fan said that the girl usually wears simple clothes, but none of the ladies participating in the Flower Festival are dressed up. The girl is beautiful and cannot be compared to her."

"The old lady also said that the amount of money you pay is secondary, and the girl's comfort in what she wears is the most important thing."

Ruan Zhen said nothing.

In the eyes of outsiders, Mrs. Fan looks like she loves her juniors.

Xu really should learn this.

Madam Zhou measured the size and said immediately: "The younger one will leave first. Once the clothes are ready, they will be delivered to the girl."

"Tan Yun, send me off to Mrs. Zhou."

Tan Yun hugged the rabbit: "Yes."

As soon as Mrs. Zhou left and Ruan Zhen was about to sit down and eat some noodles, someone else broke in.

Ruan Zhen raised her eyes.

I suddenly had a headache.

"How did you come?"

Is she not determined to give up and really wants to bring herself and her brother together?

With that said, he stood up and looked behind her.

Mu Jiu was dressed in purple, crossed the threshold, and sat down opposite Ruan Zhen without noticing anything.

"There was no one behind me. I jumped over the wall to get in."

As she said that, she poured herself a cup of tea and said disgustedly: "Your yard is too remote. The woman just now may be blind. Old Mrs. Fan who opens her mouth and shuts her mouth, why do I hurt you? I will give you the Hou Mansion if I hurt you."

The most remote yard?”

As she said this, she began to feel disgusted again.
