Chapter 387: The Playboy from a Noble Family and the Daughter of a Married Woman (10)
After breakfast, Ruan Guannan stayed in her own yard to organize her dowry.
I only need to visit my mother-in-law on the first and fifteenth day of the month to pay my respects. On the other days, I don't have to go to the front yard to serve her. This is simply an ideal life of wealth and luxury.
But what made her most satisfied was that Ruan Qingyun had put her in the bridal sedan without telling her uncle and aunt.
Now, the dowry that the second wife had prepared for her legitimate daughter became Ruan Guannan's dowry.
After all, she was the only legitimate daughter of the second wife, and she was married off to a wealthy family, so the dowry prepared by Mrs. Ruan was very generous.
All these things fell on Ruan Guannan's head, which was also the most frustrating thing for Ruan Lin and his wife.
When I went back to my parents' home yesterday, I was worried that I would not be able to deal with Wei Jingzhou's trouble. Secondly, I admitted in person that the one getting married was my eldest brother's daughter, and it was impossible for me to take back the dowry.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it become a strange story in the capital?
As for whether he would discuss it with her in private, it is really possible considering the stingy and blood-sucking nature of Second Uncle's family.
Ruan Guannan looked at the treasures of jewelry in the box, a sarcastic smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
The title was given, the mansion was occupied, and many items were also collected.
If she hadn't held on to all the shop deeds left by her parents, they would have been stolen by the blood-sucking second wife.
Now that the thing has gone around in circles and is in her hands again, she wants it back?
Don't even think about it!
Not to mention that this should have originally belonged to their eldest wife's family, just from the fact that Ruan Qingyun didn't want to get married and made her faint to marry in her place, she would definitely not let the people in the second wife feel comfortable.
She was lucky to marry Wei Jingzhou.
If the other party is really a playboy, it would be equivalent to ruining her life.
How vicious Ruan Qingyun is!
Now there was only one thing left to complete. Ruan Guannan sorted out her dowry while waiting for news.
Before noon, a servant came and said, "Madam, there is someone outside the mansion who calls herself Bai Lu and wants to see you. She says she is your maid."
A smile flashed in Ruan Guannan's eyes; the person he was waiting for had arrived.
"Let her in, bring her to me."
Ruan Guannan waited for half a cup of tea, and then a young girl in a green shirt came hurriedly.
The pace is fast, but disciplined.
Seeing the familiar figure standing on the steps, Bai Lu burst into tears, and the image of kneeling in front of Ruan Guannan and crying disappeared.
"Miss, Miss, wuwuwu...it's all my fault for being careless..."
If she had been more alert that day, she wouldn't have fallen into the trap of the second young lady, causing her young lady to be tricked into marrying off...
Seeing that she was almost dying from crying, Ruan Guannan reluctantly reached out and helped her up.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine, right?"
Ruan Guannan has deep feelings for this maid who has grown up with him.
Compared to Cai'er who has a purpose, she definitely trusts Bai Lu more.
Bai Lu wiped away her tears with her sleeve and looked carefully at the person in front of her.
Seeing that her face was rosy and she didn't look like she had been bullied by her husband's family, Bai Lu finally stopped crying.
Ruan Guannan took her into the inner room. Bai Lu quickly took down the bag behind her, took out the wooden box and handed it to Ruan Guannan.
"Miss, here are all the things you asked me to bring with me. Miss, please take a look and see if there is anything missing."
Ruan Guannan took the wooden box, opened it, and carefully counted the shop deeds inside. Finding nothing missing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Bai Lu should have brought them along on the day of the return visit, but all her belongings were hidden in a courtyard somewhere in the main house, so she secretly asked Bai Lu to find them and bring them along.
Looking at the box full of shop deeds, plus the half box that came as a dowry, Ruan Guannan felt confident.
She had deposited all the profits from the shop over the years into the bank, and she lived a very low-key life in the mansion. Thinking about it now, it was a considerable fortune.
Ruan Guannan couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. He looked at the egret below and praised: "My egret is still smart."
The egret's face was red and her eyes were bright.
"Since you came back, the people in the second house have been much more obedient. I was not stopped at all when I left the house. Young lady is really amazing."
The master and servant praised each other, and Ruan Guannan felt more relaxed.
Now the power of management of the Marquis' Mansion is in the hands of the eldest sister-in-law, Liu. As the wife of the eldest prince of the Marquis' Mansion, Liu naturally has her own way of housekeeping, and the Marquis's wife is also very satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law.
As the legal wife of the second wife, Ruan Guannan naturally didn't have to worry about much. She only had to take care of the second wife.
Wei Jingzhou had just married, and the second room had very few people, so Ruan Guannan basically didn't have to worry about anything.
Therefore, she is currently a rich and idle person.
It took nearly a day to prepare the dowry. Everything that needed to be used was taken out and used. After a busy day, it was time for dinner.
Bai Lu replaced Cai'er to serve Ruan Guannan, and Cai'er had nothing to do at all.
After dinner, Cai Er mustered up the courage to whisper to Ruan Guannan:
"Madam, shall I go to the front yard to invite the Second Young Master now?"
Her tone was full of flattery, and she was afraid that the master in front of her would once again think of sending her back to the Earl's Mansion.
Before returning home, Ruan Guannan suggested sending her back to her original master.
Cai'er was almost frightened to death and she knelt down and cried, begging not to go back.
Once she returns, Madam Ruan will definitely beat her to death for helping the second young lady to find a husband.
Her indenture had been handed over to Ruan Guannan along with her dowry, so she would only be her slave from now on.
After she repeatedly assured him that she would remain loyal, Ruan Guannan finally kept her.
Now seeing her master being so kind to Bai Lu, Cai'er felt a little uneasy and wanted to do something to prove her own worth.
Seeing her cautious look, Ruan Guannan waved his hand to indicate that she didn't need to go to the front yard to ask for help. He said softly, "Go ask someone to prepare some water. I'll take a bath later."
Cai'er was a little nervous at first, but when she heard that there was something to do, she immediately nodded and ran out to arrange things.
Bai Lu whispered, "I think Cai'er is not that bad. Madam, are you going to use her?"
She secretly reminded herself to change her words and called her Madam Ruan Guannan.
In this wealthy family, she absolutely could not cause trouble for her own young lady.
Ruan Guannan tapped her forehead and said, "You are the only person I can trust right now. You won't be able to handle everything if I put all the pressure on you."
"You can use Cai'er as you wish. Assign her some unimportant tasks first, and we can deal with the rest later."
Bai Lu nodded, "I understand."
The master and servant digested the food in the yard, and then Bai Lu took Ruan Guannan to the bathroom.
At the same time, a large group of people in Tianluju dispersed.
Zhou Cheng and Su Zhixing were so drunk that they were staggering and had to be helped by their servants into the carriage to return home.
After everyone left, Lingshu supported Wei Jingzhou's body and whispered:
"Master, Master Zhou and the others are gone."
Wei Jingzhou slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, stood up, rubbed his numb shoulders, and waved his hand to ask him to prepare the carriage.
A group of people drank and listened to music all day long. Wei Jingzhou also drank quite a bit and now had a slight headache.
When he returned home, he immediately asked Lingshu to prepare water for bathing.
After washing off the bad smell on his body and drinking a bowl of sobering soup, Wei Jingzhou finally felt much better.
After he cleared his mind, he always felt that something was missing tonight.
After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly occurred to him: no one would come to call him to the main house tonight.
After waiting for a cup of tea, there was no movement.
Wei Jingzhou simply slept in the study.
Lying in bed, Wei Jingzhou tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
This seemed to be the first time I slept alone since I got married.
He didn't smell the familiar fragrance, and he was still a little uncomfortable. He muttered to himself,
"The bed seems a little too wide..."
……
Good night, babies~
