Chapter 403: The Playboy from a Noble Family and the Daughter of a Married Woman (26)
The marquis's wife took Ruan Guannan with her and took her to identify everyone one by one.
The old lady in front of you with silver hair and a kind face is the mother of the Marquis's wife and also the old lady of the Huaiyuan Marquis's Mansion.
She held Ruan Guannan's hand and looked at him over and over, liking him more and more.
"That naughty boy, Brother Zhou, is now married and has children. I feel relieved now."
Then he looked at Ruan Guannan's slightly bulging belly and smiled lovingly.
"Seeing that you are pregnant, it turns out that you are not like your father who is a noisy person. You have inherited your mother's peaceful personality. Very good, very good!"
The Marquis's wife also smiled and nodded in agreement.
"If he continues to behave like his father, I'll have another headache."
Ruan Guannan behaved in a dignified and generous manner, with a look of shyness on his face as if he was being discussed.
As the old lady moved, she turned slightly, allowing the old man to take a closer look at her bulging belly.
A group of people were chatting and laughing, it was very lively.
Ruan Guannan inexplicably felt a strong gaze falling on her.
She looked over subconsciously and met Ruan Qingyue's gaze head-on, who didn't have time to look away.
Ruan Qingyue's eyes paused slightly, and she smiled at Ruan Guannan shyly.
Ruan Guannan also nodded, looked away and didn't want to say anything.
Ruan Qingyue clenched her hands slightly in her sleeves, and her mood fluctuated violently for a moment.
Even though she had already known from Yue Wan that her cousin was pregnant, she was still a little dazed.
In her previous life, Ruan Qingyun was still feeling sorry for herself in the Marquis' Mansion at this time. It was impossible for her to be taken out by the Marquis's wife and introduced to other relatives.
Why did he change his person in this life? Not only was Ruan Guannan pregnant a long time ago, she also seemed to be highly valued in the Marquis' Mansion.
Even though she was more than five months pregnant, the baby couldn’t possibly be Brother Jingzhou’s child, but his biological child.
Could it be that if I married a different person, the changes would be so great?
Ruan Qingyue was very panicked. Would her cousin have the same difficult delivery as Ruan Qingyun?
Can she marry into the Marquis's Mansion again?
Although he had been a mascot in the Marquis's Mansion all his life in his previous life, he was also treated with great respect and honor.
Now that she has lived her life again, she has returned to the humble and cautious days of her youth. Even though Ruan Qingyue has tried her best to conceal it, the occasional look in her eyes would still make Mrs. Ruan unhappy.
Mrs. Ruan has found many opportunities to bully me these days.
If she had not known the secret of Wei Yuewan, the daughter of the second branch of the Marquis' Mansion in her previous life, she would never have been able to get involved with the Marquis' Mansion.
It is even more impossible to be brought to a banquet of this scale today.
She is not young anymore, and the Marquis's wife had mentioned her marriage before as if giving her alms.
Either he was the illegitimate son of a minor official, or he was a poor scholar taking the imperial examination.
Even if there are some noble families, they are either older than my father or they become concubines in the mansion.
She had a premonition that if she could not escape from Mrs. Ruan's clutches, her fate would be to be sent out by her father to contact her superiors.
Ruan Qingyue looked up at Ruan Guannan, who was the center of attention not far away, and lowered her eyes to hide her emotions.
More and more people gathered in the hall, and when the time was almost up, the Fourth Prince's wife made her grand appearance.
After a series of greetings, the female members of the family began to take their seats at the invitation of the Fourth Prince's wife.
Ruan Guannan sat behind Madam Hou along with his elder sister-in-law, Wang.
Taking advantage of the shadows blocking her view, she carefully looked at the queen who had the shortest reign in the story.
The woman was wearing a dark green long dress, which looked like a palace style and could only be worn by royal family members.
She has a beautiful and elegant appearance, and her manners are well-mannered. The smile on her face has never faded since she came in.
He is a very versatile person.
Ruan Guannan no longer paid attention to the comings and goings, and there was no need for her to show up for the gift-giving process. She just lowered her head and quietly enjoyed the exquisite meal in front of her.
However, she wanted to keep a low profile, but she couldn't help but be mentioned by others.
The Marquis's wife presented the gift, and before she even sat down, she heard the Fourth Prince's wife at the top of the table ask with a smile:
"Marquis Cheng'en is brave and good at fighting, and is highly valued by the emperor. The emperor mentioned the second son of your family to Your Highness a few days ago."
"I heard that the second young master has settled down since he got married. Even my father is a little curious. Let me see what kind of person she is."
Ruan Guannan sighed secretly in his heart, slowly stood up, and walked at a leisurely pace.
She walked to the center and bowed to the leader.
"My name is Ruan, and I greet the Fourth Prince's wife."
From the moment she walked out, everyone's eyes were fixed on her, with either amazement or curiosity.
After all, he is the central figure in the recent gossip in Beijing.
It’s just like the saying goes: I’m not in the world, but my name is still there.
Now that I have seen her, I finally understand why the second young master of the Marquis's Mansion is so fond of her.
Just standing there quietly, she looked like a blooming hibiscus flower, magnificent and beautiful.
Not to mention the second son of the Marquis's Mansion, if this was a girl from their family, she would probably be treated like a treasure.
The fourth prince's wife came back to her senses, her eyes flickering with intense scrutiny and examination.
The smile on her face remained unchanged, and she said in a gentle voice: "She is indeed an outstanding girl."
Ruan Guannan bowed her head and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I am so kind to you. I wish you a happy and long-lasting happiness."
The Fourth Prince's wife smiled more deeply, and her tone was intimate.
"Don't mention the Second Young Master. I like you very much too. If you have nothing to do in the future, come to me and let me get a taste of your good fortune."
This was a very clever statement. Since the Fourth Prince's wife married the Fourth Prince, she has only had one daughter.
Many high-ranking families in the capital knew that she had gone to great lengths to seek medical advice, pray to gods and Buddhas in order to conceive a boy.
Ruan Guannan became pregnant not long after she married into the Marquis's Mansion. It made sense for the Fourth Prince's wife to say that she wanted to get some of the pregnancy's scent.
Ruan Guannan remembered the Marquis's instructions, and said respectfully with a smile on his face:
"Yes, thank you, Princess Fourth."
The marquis's wife looked at her with concern. Ruan Guannan shook her head slightly and sat back in her seat naturally.
The banquet went on as normal.
The Fourth Prince received everyone in the front hall, while the Fourth Prince's wife led everyone for a banquet in the back hall.
After the banquet was over, the Fourth Prince's wife took many female relatives to the garden to appreciate the flowers.
At this time of year, the chrysanthemums are in full bloom.
In order to celebrate the birthday of the Fourth Prince's wife, the Fourth Prince spent a lot of effort to collect many precious varieties of chrysanthemums and placed them in the mansion.
White, green, ink, pink, etc., everything is available.
Ruan Guannan actually saw a Yaotai Jade Phoenix of excellent quality, which was truly a feast for the eyes.
While enjoying the flowers, groups of people dispersed, chatting and enjoying the flowers, looking very happy.
The Marquis's wife was surrounded by a group of noble ladies, so Ruan Guannan had to take Bai Lu and Cai'er to another direction to get some peace and quiet.
While walking on the road, someone behind me suddenly called me.
