Chapter 405: The Playboy from a Noble Family and the Daughter of a Married Woman (28)
When Ruan Qingyue saw that she had given in, her face was filled with gratitude and joy.
From a distance, they really look like a pair of loving sisters.
The two chatted for a while, and Wei Yuewan came over to find Ruan Qingyue to keep her company.
As the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Marquis's mansion, Wei Yuewan, like her father and mother, was both afraid of and looked down upon Wei Jingzhou.
Naturally, he had no relationship with Ruan Guannan.
She asked her maid to come and call Ruan Qingyue away, and had no intention of coming over to talk to Ruan Guannan.
Ruan Guannan pretended not to see it. After Ruan Qingyue left, she quickly got up and prepared to get some fresh air.
At this time, Bai Lu leaned over and whispered in her ear:
"Madam, Mr. Lu's servant just quietly handed me a note, saying that Mr. Lu has something to tell you."
Ruan Guannan was a little confused and took the note and took a look at it.
She paused for a moment, then stood up and said softly:
"I heard that the hibiscus in the Fourth Prince's Mansion is in full bloom. Let's go take a look."
On the other side, in a remote pavilion in the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, a man and a woman were arguing with each other.
During the struggle, Ruan Qingyue's clothes were torn into a mess.
Her face was filled with panic and anger, and she shouted at the man who kept coming up to her:
"If you keep pestering me, I'll let my father teach you a lesson! My father is Lord Changyuan!"
Seeing the drunk man looking nonchalant, Ruan Qingyue became completely anxious and replaced him with someone else to bully others.
"You must have heard of the name of Wei Jingzhou, the second son of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion. My cousin is the legal wife of the second son of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion. Why don't you try to touch me?"
When he heard Wei Jingzhou's name, the drunk man in front of him showed a look of fear.
However, he took a look at Ruan Qingyun's appearance, his face full of doubts.
"I heard that Wei Jingzhou's wife is extremely beautiful, and you said you are her cousin?"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Ruan Qingyue was so angry at the questioning expression on his face that her face turned black.
Before she could get angry, she heard a noise behind her.
Mrs. Ruan came over with her maid and suddenly saw her daughter and a man being intimate in the pavilion.
Her face turned pale, she felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
After being supported by the maid next to her, Mrs. Ruan slapped her hard.
"What are you still standing there for? Go and help your master pull those people away!"
The little maid felt a little aggrieved, and at the same time was shocked by the man in the pavilion.
After realizing what was happening, he rushed forward to help.
Before Ruan Qingyun could feel happy about getting rid of this lecher, he was frightened by the people gathered outside the pavilion and his face turned pale.
The female relatives around arrived almost at the same time as Mrs. Ruan.
After seeing the scene in the pavilion, they took a long time to recognize who the male protagonist was.
"Isn't that the legitimate son of the Shaoqing family of the Guanglu Temple? Why is he staying with the daughter of the Changyuan Earl family?"
"Are the two families discussing marriage?"
One of the women was a little surprised and asked doubtfully:
"You said that they are indeed sisters from the same family. The men they both like are all uneducated and unskilled playboys. Do playboys know how to love people better?"
"How can we compare them? The Second Young Master Wei is the legitimate son of the Marquisate, while the one in front of us..."
It's not that they look down on him, but the legitimate son of the Shaoqing of the Guanglu Temple does not have a family background as high as Wei Jingzhou, but he is also notoriously annoying in the capital.
This kind of unpleasantness is different from the previous one, and it is particularly unpleasant in the list of husbands for unmarried girls.
It is said that the son of the Shaoqing of the Guanglu Temple had a bunch of concubines in the backyard before he even got married.
If it weren't for the pressure from Madam Shaoqing, he would have had countless concubines, and his illegitimate sons would have been able to form a Cuju team.
Therefore, any girl who wanted to discuss marriage would avoid him as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, he was involved with the eldest daughter of Earl Changyuan.
Listening to the whispers around her, Mrs. Ruan wanted to faint on the spot.
The expression on her face was very forced, "Qingyun, come here quickly."
Ruan Qingyun straightened his torn collar in panic, then stood beside Madam Ruan with his head down, about to cry.
In front of so many people, Mrs. Ruan could only push the blame onto the culprit.
She glared at the people in the pavilion who still didn't understand what was going on, and asked:
"My daughter and the maidservant were just sitting here enjoying the view, and you kept pestering me like this."
"There are so many girls from the boudoir attending the banquet today. Are you going to go up and harass every one you see?"
"The family of the Guanglu Temple Shaoqing is really well-educated."
Her words alerted many women with daughters present, but also resonated with them.
The story ends with the man leaving in a panic.
Behind a rockery not far away, Lu Yu looked at the chaos in front of him coldly, with no expression on his face.
Not long after the banquet in the front hall was over, he was told by a little maid that the young lady of their family had invited him for something.
She said that her young lady was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Changyuan.
At that time, Lu Yu thought that Guan Nan had encountered some difficulties and asked him for help, so he prepared to go with her to take a look.
But suddenly he changed his mind and realized that since their last conversation, he understood better than anyone that Guan Nan was keeping his distance from him.
It is even more impossible to arrange a private meeting in such a large occasion nowadays.
And ever since Ruan Guannan pointed it out, Lu Yu has been wary of people with ill intentions approaching.
But in order not to alert the enemy, he went there pretending nothing happened.
After the little maidservant retreated, he hid behind the rockery, wanting to see what this man was trying to do.
Is this person trying to harm Guannan by taking advantage of the old engagement?
Lu Yu hid quietly in the dark and waited.
Not long after, a woman came hurriedly.
After seeing her appearance clearly, a hint of understanding and coldness flashed in his eyes.
He did not go out, but watched the developments quietly.
After seeing the farce in the pavilion, as expected, not long after, he saw the maid who led him here leading Madam Ruan over.
Lu Yu's face became colder and colder, and he was suppressing tremendous anger and unexpressible regret in his heart.
The servant behind him rarely saw the young master's emotions fluctuate so much.
The last time was when I learned that Miss Ruan was getting married.
Lu Yu quickly calmed down, retracted his gaze, turned to look at the servant, and whispered:
"How did she react?"
The servant understood who this 'she' was and bowed his head respectfully:
"Sir, Miss Ruan... there was someone with her at the time, so I handed the things to the personal maid named Bai Lu first. I wonder what her reaction was..."
Lu Yu was silent for a while, then sighed, "Forget it, let's go."
Ruan Guannan, who was being cared for by many people, was in a good mood as he admired the beautiful hibiscus blooming in front of him.
However, after seeing Bai Lu's agonizing expression, Ruan Guannan tapped her forehead with amusement.
"If you have something to say, just say it. I feel like I'm holding it in a lot."
Bai Lu hesitated for a long time, but still asked in a low voice:
"Madam, did Mr. Lu invite you to meet him? Will he treat you well?"
She didn't finish her words, but Ruan Guannan understood.
She handed the note directly to Bai Lu so that she could read it herself.
Bai Lu took a look and saw the words:
The second wife's legitimate daughter invited me under your name, but I'm afraid there will be trouble, so please stay away.
Seeing this, Bai Lu forgot about his previous struggle and became angry.
"This second young lady is too much. How can she borrow your name to invite Mr. Lu? Isn't this ruining the reputation of both of you?"
Ruan Guannan smiled and shook his head, "Whether she can succeed is still unknown."
She lowered her head and looked at the hibiscus flower in front of her, her slender white fingertips gently brushing the petals, but her mood was not affected.
Just when she thought she could enjoy the flowers and stay quiet for a while, another untimely voice interrupted her comfort.
Seeing the man approaching, Ruan Guannan's eyes paused slightly. After seeing the style of the man's clothes and the jade pendant on his waist, she held her belly and prepared to perform the ceremony.
Before she could get down on her knees, she was stopped by the man.
Ruan Guannan could only bow slightly and said respectfully: "My concubine greets His Majesty the Fourth Prince."
The Fourth Prince did not ask her how she recognized his identity, but said in a gentle voice:
"No need to be polite."
Ruan Guannan stood up and stared at the ground, pondering the purpose of the fourth prince's appearance.
Is he here to find Ruan Qingyue?
But at this time, the two of them should not know each other yet.
Until the fourth prince said, "Are you General Ruan's daughter Guannan?"
Ruan Guannan's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, it was directed at her...
