Chapter 395: The Playboy from a Noble Family and the Daughter of a Married Woman (18)
After Ruan Guannan returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he first went to the main courtyard to chat with the Marquis's wife for a while, and then she invited him to have dinner in the main courtyard.
I think the mother-in-law must have heard some gossip and was indirectly supporting her.
Ruan Guannan naturally appreciated her kindness and stayed with her in the main courtyard for a while before returning to his own courtyard at night.
As the night deepened, Ruan Guannan put down the book in his hand, called Bai Lu in and prepared to take a bath and go to bed.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Wei Jingzhou's figure soon appeared in front of him.
The two looked at each other in a stalemate for a long while, and neither of them wanted to speak first.
Wei Jingzhou didn't see it clearly in the afternoon, but only now did he see that Ruan Guannan had exquisite makeup on her face.
Inexplicably, he thought of what Zhou Cheng had said before: "Women dress up to please themselves."
Zhou Cheng also said that she didn't use makeup in front of him because she didn't want to please him.
He didn't take it seriously at the time, but now that he thought about it, he rarely saw her with makeup on.
Seeing it now, it is truly breathtakingly beautiful.
It was the first time for him to see it, and it was very likely because of Lu Yu!
When Wei Jingzhou thought of this, he felt very uncomfortable. His chest ached as if he had been punched hard.
He originally wanted to come over and question her, but when he really saw her, he was like a mute for a moment, with a dry throat and difficulty in speaking.
What could he ask?
Ask her what happened between her and Lu Yu?
Or ask them if they still have feelings?
Or maybe, compared to him, Wei Jingzhou, does she want to marry Lu Yu more?
Wei Jingzhou couldn't ask any of the questions because he was afraid of getting the answer.
Ruan Guannan avoided his gaze and said calmly, "Are you here at this time for something?"
The voice was as calm and cold as always.
He should have been used to it, but for some reason, Wei Jingzhou couldn't accept her coldness at this moment.
"This is my room, why can't I come?"
Wei Jingzhou's chest heaved and he asked back in a bad tone.
Ruan Guannan looked puzzled and reminded:
"I remember that my husband didn't want to be in the same room with me since our wedding night. What does he mean now?"
When she mentioned what happened on their wedding night, the anger that had just risen in Wei Jingzhou's heart was extinguished by half.
Then I noticed that she started to call herself "concubine". I had heard this before, but it didn't sound right to me anymore.
Wei Jingzhou was so angry that he didn't know what to do.
Afraid that she would say something irritating again, and not wanting to mention Lu Yu, Wei Jingzhou simply changed the subject.
He recalled what happened on the road just now and asked, "I heard that you punished a maid named Chunliu today?"
Ruan Guannan was still holding the hairpin he had just taken off. Hearing what he said, he looked in the direction of Wei Jingzhou and asked, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Why punish her? Did she provoke you?"
Wei Jingzhou wanted to know why she was angry, but to Ruan Guannan, who was also angry, it sounded like a naked question.
The look in her eyes turned cold, but her expression didn't change. She looked at Wei Jingzhou and asked inexplicably:
"I can't punish her? She's the one you're planning to take over as your roommate?"
Wei Jingzhou's face suddenly changed, and the anger that had just subsided rushed straight to his head, and his voice rose several degrees.
"When did I say I wanted to take over the house?"
Is this because she can't stand being with her ex-lover after seeing him?
Wei Jingzhou was so angry at his own guess that his face turned red. When he was angry to a certain extent, he even smiled.
"What? Madam is so generous that you are ready to take a concubine for your husband?"
Ruan Guannan took off another pearl hairpin and placed it on the table, making a slight sound, and said in a calm voice:
"It's only a matter of time. As long as my husband likes it, that's all. When are you going to marry him?"
Wei Jingzhou felt a buzzing pain in his head, and the smile on his lips fell completely.
There seemed to be ice in his eyes, and a cold and murderous aura quickly condensed around his body.
His brows were gloomy, thick clouds were rolling, broken ice and mist were flying, and he just stared at her without saying a word.
Ruan Guannan's understatement hurt his eyes.
His face was terribly gloomy, and deep in his eyes was endless jealousy and envy, as if he wanted to devour the woman in front of him in an instant.
Ruan Guannan didn't look at him. She raised her hand and took off the last piece of jewelry. Her ink-black hair instantly flowed down, covering her slender back.
Seeing that she ignored him, Wei Jingzhou walked forward angrily.
As soon as he got closer, Ruan Guannan frowned and dodged to the side, feeling like vomiting from the pungent smell of alcohol mixed with powder on his body.
Seeing that she suddenly stopped him from getting close to him, Wei Jingzhou's forehead throbbed, he bit his back teeth with anger and his face turned ashen, and actual sparks were almost spurting out of his eyes.
"Okay, okay, okay, you have guts!"
Wei Jingzhou was feeling pent up in anger with nowhere to vent, so he uttered some harsh words angrily, saying that he didn't want to stay in this room anymore.
When he reached the door of the house, he felt really depressed.
Thinking of how she had offered to take a concubine in order to keep him away, Wei Jingzhou let out a roar through his teeth.
"I'll take his father's concubine!"
Ruan Guannan was shocked and blurted out, "You want to take Chunliu's father's concubine?"
Wei Jingzhou subconsciously covered his chest, wishing he could vomit blood. His back looked so panicked and embarrassed as he walked out.
Ruan Guannan rolled his eyes secretly, got up and went to the bathroom.
According to the description of Wei Jingzhou in the plot, and our understanding of his fussy nature during the period after his marriage, he went to Yirenfang most likely because he was fooled by his friends.
But this still did not prevent her from seeing him coming out of the brothel with her own eyes.
Moreover, seeing how he rushed in just now without any guilt and instead with an angry look on his face, he probably saw her and Lu Yu and was ready to come over to question them.
Since both sides are wrong, why should Ruan Guannan be inferior to him?
Haven't you had enough of his anger these days?
And he even dared to mention Chunliu to her!
So of course you have to take the initiative, get angry before he does, and then you can feel at ease.
She was relieved, but Wei Jingzhou on the road was almost vomiting blood in anger.
Especially on the way back to the study, I met that Liu again.
Chun Liu saw that Wei Jingzhou looked extremely bad and felt a little scared.
But thinking that this was her chance, she gritted her teeth and knelt at Wei Jingzhou's feet, crying pitifully.
"Sir, anger is harmful to your health. It's all Chunliu's fault for making Madam unhappy. She may be angry at you. Please punish Chunliu."
Chunliu cried and begged, acting like a caring person.
Wei Jingzhou was already furious and had a severe headache.
Now her crying face made him look even uglier, which reminded him of Ruan Guannan's remarks about "taking a concubine".
Wei Jingzhou let out a deep breath.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the maid at his feet. There was a coldness and indifference in his eyes that was completely different from just now.
"You said, it was you who made the lady unhappy?"
In the darkness of the night, Wei Jingzhou's voice was heavy, and seemed even colder than the night.
Chunliu's kneeling body couldn't help but tremble even more violently, and he whispered:
"Yes, at noon, I mentioned the Second Young Master and was overheard by the Madam. Then, she punished me by spanking my hands."
Chunliu said this cleverly. Every word was true yet veiled, which made people think about it.
Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Wei Jingzhou was stabbed in the chest for no apparent reason. He looked at Chunliu with eyes that looked like he wanted to kill someone, and gritted his teeth and said angrily:
"You are just a servant girl. You should be punished for making your master angry. Instead of doing your best to repent, you dare to come to me and make trouble."
If Chun Liu hadn't appeared out of nowhere, he would never have used her as a topic, which led to the later "concubine" remarks that made him so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
Thinking of this, Wei Jingzhou's face turned even worse, and the anger in his voice could not be concealed.
"What's going on between this young master and my wife, is something a little maid like you can interfere in?"
"You dare to say that she took her anger out on me because of you? You are so shameless!"
Chun Liu was so shocked that her face turned pale when she saw that things did not develop as she had imagined.
He was even more frightened by Wei Jingzhou's furious voice. He couldn't even make a sound and just knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
"Order! Send this servant girl who doesn't know what's good for her and is spreading rumors about her master out of the mansion!"
Wei Jingzhou glanced coldly at the maid with impure thoughts, and strode back to the study with anger and depression.
The spring willows on the ground were crying without any beauty left, and their tears were streaming down their cheeks.
As a maid who was driven out of the Marquis's Mansion, she didn't dare to imagine her future situation.
After she came to her senses, she kept crying and begging, and even stood up and wanted to go to the backyard to ask the second lady to keep her.
But how could Lingshu let her succeed?
He simply ordered the servant to tie the man up and lock him up in the woodshed, and then sold him the next morning after taking the indenture.

There was a power outage at home today, so I posted this early.
Hey, good night~
