Chapter 407: The Playboy from a Noble Family and the Daughter of a Married Woman (30)
Just two days after the banquet, Ruan Qingyue packed her things and came to the Marquis' Mansion.
Mrs. Ruan was already exhausted by the affairs of her own daughter.
When she heard that Ruan Qingyue was going to the Marquis' Mansion to entertain her niece from the eldest wife's house, she nodded in agreement without thinking.
Don't think that she didn't see that this little vixen disliked the men she picked for her, and she might even have unspeakable thoughts when she went to the Marquis' Mansion.
But what does this have to do with her?
Her daughter's marriage was uncertain, and she wished Ruan Guannan would suffer the same misfortune.
So, two days later, Ruan Qingyue was allowed to enter the Marquis' Mansion.
Ruan Guannan arranged her to live in another courtyard of the second house and asked Cai'er to help out.
Bai Lu placed the cakes and milk on the table in front of her. Seeing his wife looking completely clueless, Bai Lu couldn't help but whisper:
"Madam, the third young lady is at the right age to discuss marriage. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for her to live in the Marquis' Mansion now."
In fact, what she wanted to say more was that the third young lady was quite pretty, and it was inevitable that she would have some other thoughts while living in the Marquis' Mansion.
Ruan Guannan was deeply moved when she saw the little girl in front of her who was wholeheartedly thinking about her.
After thinking about her plan, Ruan Guannan waved for Bai Lu to come over, and she whispered a few words to him.
Bai Lu was a little surprised, "Cai Er, is it okay?"
Ruan Guannan chuckled, "Although Cai'er is timid and afraid of things, she is very good at reading people's expressions and is very smart. It's most appropriate to let her keep an eye on them."
Bai Lu now had nothing to worry about, and even his pace when going out was much more relaxed.
Ruan Guannan leisurely drank a sip of warm milk, reached out and stroked his obviously rising and falling belly, his face calm and gentle.
Since she is now Wei Jingzhou's original wife, there is no way she can become a stepping stone for Ruan Qingyue to make way for him.
It was also impossible for him to get close to the Fourth Prince's wife, causing the old emperor to openly express his secret fears and use Wei Jingzhou as a pawn to suppress the Marquis's Mansion.
This led to the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion becoming deserted and eventually he lost his military power.
The plot of Ruan Qingyue becoming both the original wife and the second wife cannot go on, so it is better to change the plot more drastically.
He controlled Ruan Qingyue right under his nose, sent her to the manor to save the fourth prince, and then strangled the plot of their forced love.
This would save her from being worried about Wei Jingzhou in her heart and getting involved with the Fourth Prince, which would eventually lead to trouble.
She wanted to see which direction the plot would go next.
Thinking of this, Ruan Guannan felt a little heavy.
Although in the original plot, the Fourth Prince designed to destroy the entire Cheng'en Marquis Mansion in order to get Ruan Qingyue.
But who can be sure that the Fourth Prince is not extremely wary of the Cheng'en Marquisate and has long wanted to get rid of it?
Therefore, the most fundamental threat still comes from those in power at the top.
The original plot's ending of the country's demise also clearly stated that the Fourth Prince was not a qualified person to be in power.
If the Fourth Prince still takes the throne, the Cheng'en Marquisate will sooner or later become a victim of his political manipulation.
Ruan Guannan tapped the table with his fingertips in deep thought.
However, there is still some time before the old emperor passes away, and there is still room for the Fourth Prince to take the throne, so she is not in a hurry.
By noon, Ruan Qingyue had almost packed her things and went to the main house to find Ruan Guannan.
"elder sister."
When Ruan Qingyue saw Ruan Guannan, she bowed low and saluted, her face full of obedience and closeness to her.
Ruan Guannan smiled and motioned for her to get up, and the two of them chatted in the room.
During lunch, Ruan Guannan took the opportunity to keep her and they ate together.
Ruan Qingyue glanced outside the house and did not see Wei Jingzhou, and there was no surprise in her eyes.
After all, in her previous life, when she went to the Marquis' Mansion to accompany Ruan Qingyun, she rarely saw Jing Zhou come to the main house.
I guess the rumors that he treats his new wife like a treasure are not that credible.
Ruan Qingyue raised her eyes to look at the woman beside her, and the conclusion she had just reached suddenly became uncertain again.
Faced with a woman as beautiful and incomparable as my cousin, is it really possible for anyone to treat her less than a treasure?
Ruan Qingyue felt mixed emotions.
She shook off the complicated thoughts in her mind. No matter in the last life or this life, he was her savior.
If he hadn't controlled the mad horse, she would have become a miserable ghost under the horse's hooves.
Let’s not talk about the illegitimate child that Ruan Qingyun is pregnant with, at least the baby his cousin is pregnant with now is his real child.
If her cousin had a difficult childbirth like Ruan Qingyun, she would treat the child well.
After Ruan Qingyue thought it through, she looked up at Ruan Guannan's belly with genuine joy in her eyes.
She said with some relief:
"Sister, it's a good thing I'm here. Otherwise, it would be really boring for you to dine alone."
At this time, Bai Lu had just returned from serving food outside. After hearing what she said, he frowned slightly and said respectfully:
"Miss San, the son-in-law loves the lady very much and accompanies her at meals every day. He just happened to be busy today."
Then he said to Ruan Guannan, "Madam, the clerk just came to report that the young master has some unfinished business in the front yard, so please have your meal first."
Ruan Guannan felt a little strange. Wei Jingzhou had been acting mysterious these past two days and no one knew what he was doing.
But in front of outsiders, she didn't ask any further questions and just nodded to show that she understood.
Ruan Qingyue was stunned by Bai Lu's words. There was some unhappiness in her eyes, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and said:
"My sister's pregnancy was so difficult, it's only natural for my brother-in-law to pay more attention to her."
Ruan Guannan lowered his head and gently stroked his bulging belly with a gentle smile on his face.
"The little guy was making a fuss a while ago, and I had severe morning sickness. It was really hard for me."
Ruan Qingyue looked at her secretly. Her face was rosy, her eyebrows were happy and relaxed, and it was obvious that she was living a very comfortable life.
It was a far cry from the resentful woman she was in her previous life, who lived alone in the second room.
The cousin in front of me is obviously cared for and loved by her husband.
She thought she should be happy for her cousin, but she couldn't help feeling a little sad.
She lowered her eyes and ate the food in front of her, but she had no taste for it.
This emotion reached its peak when I saw the loving scene between the two of them during dinner.
Wei Jingzhou had been practicing spear in the front yard for a whole day and was covered in sweat.
Seeing that it was getting late, he took a shower and hurried back to the main house to see the person he hadn't seen for almost a day.
When Ruan Guannan saw him come in, before she could say anything, the man quickly walked up to her, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her hard on the face.
Ruan Guannan's face flushed completely red, he raised his hand and punched him hard on the chest, and reminded him in an awkward whisper:
"There's someone else in the house!"
Wei Jingzhou's hands, which were hugging his wife's slender waist, suddenly froze. He looked around but didn't see anyone.
Ruan Guannan quickly pushed him away and straightened his clothes. Only then did Wei Jingzhou see a strange woman beside the door.
He frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled by the unfamiliar face that appeared before him.
Just now he thought it was a egret standing at the door, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but it turned out not to be.
Ruan Guannan saw his doubts and took the initiative to explain:
"This is my cousin from my mother's family, Qingyue. She came to the Marquis' Mansion to stay with me for a while."
Wei Jingzhou didn't hear any sense of intimacy in her dignified and gentle tone, so he had some idea in his mind.
He nodded politely as a greeting, and then said softly to Ruan Guannan:
"I've been busy these days, so it's good to have someone to keep you company and relieve your boredom."
Ruan Qingyue quickly calmed down her emotions and bowed obediently, "Brother-in-law."
The voice is soft and thin, pitiful and cute.
Unfortunately, Wei Jingzhou just waved his hand to signal her to get up, without wasting his attention on others.
He helped Ruan Guannan sit beside him, and Ruan Guannan didn't have to reach out to pick up food during the meal.
With just one glance, Wei Jingzhou understood what she meant and put the dish into her bowl.
Looking at the two people's usual posture, it is obvious that this is how they usually do it and it has become a habit.
Ruan Qingyue couldn't hide her shock.
In her few long-lasting impressions, Wei Jingzhou was always a reserved, cold and distant image.
It was the first time she saw Wei Jingzhou being so attentive and considerate, putting aside his manly dignity and serving his wife meals.
Even ordinary people cannot achieve this.
What's more, he is a young man of noble birth and the most arrogant one.
The deep love between the two can be seen even without words, and it is obvious that they have a very good relationship.
Could it be that love or not love is so obvious...
