"You've been hiding in the capital for ten to twenty years, so you should have understood the various powers, but you don't know anything about this prince. This isn't the first time something has happened to Ruan Fangfei. You should know that as Ruan Fangfei's biggest backer, how could this prince let you go? You didn't have enough preparation, but you said that this prince made a sudden move. Is this your ability? "
Madam Wei's face turned green and white for a moment. But she quickly smiled again, "It's all because this subject's skills are inferior. Now that I've fallen into the prince's hands, I'll naturally be at his disposal." As she spoke, she winked at Li Hongyuan.
Ruan Ruizhong was so angry that his veins were popping. No matter what, she was still his wife, but she was actually seducing another man in front of him! However, after hearing their conversation, he knew that this cheap woman had another identity, so he could only suppress his anger.
Madam Wei continued, "Can this subject ask two questions, prince? When did prince notice this subject's wife? Why did you notice this subject's wife? It's reasonable to say that as a woman of the inner residence, you shouldn't be 'treated differently' by prince. "
"You raised such a good daughter, is it strange that this prince noticed you?" His eyes still didn't have the slightest emotion.
Belittling someone might hurt, but to have nothing and be completely disregarded was even more uncomfortable for some people. The more arrogant and arrogant one was, the easier it was to become this kind of person. Madam Wei happened to be this kind of person, but she restrained herself very well, so outsiders couldn't see it. Madam Wei's lips moved. Indeed, her daughter had targeted this person from the beginning. Because of this person, she would implicate herself. What a simple connection.
At that time, she still doted on Ruan Fangfei. Since her daughter had taken a fancy to him, then no matter who the other party was, it was the other party's honor. She had never given up on investigating the princes, especially after he was bestowed the title of prince. However, Li Hongyuan hid too deeply and was too cautious in doing things. He didn't reveal any clues, so naturally, she didn't have the chance to find any clues. One year, two years, four years later, the results of the investigation on Li Hongyuan remained the same. After all, she had limited energy and manpower, so she withdrew her investigation on Li Hongyuan and allowed her daughter to get close to him.
"You've been investigating this prince for four years. If it wasn't for Ruan Fangfei, you probably would've been able to find some clues."
Before the age of sixteen, Li Hongyuan had been in the palace. At that time, Madam Wei had already taken root in the palace. Even if she had memories of her previous life, she had too little to do with Madam Wei. For no reason, Li Hongyuan would not easily suspect her.
If they knew that Li Hongyuan was not a good-for-nothing, but a man-eating ferocious beast that was hibernating in the dark, not to mention letting Ruan Fangfei get close, they would definitely make her stay far away. After all, any young lady did not need a reason to stay away from the King of Hell.
Then again, Ruan Fangfei had fallen in love with Li Hongyuan when she was young. She allowed her to get close to him as a means to test him. If she really had that ambition, how could she not be tempted in the face of the power of the Cabinet Chief? Therefore, this was actually an unsolvable situation. The Wei Clan had lost miserably because of a single move.
"Prince is wise and mighty. This subject is ashamed of her inferiority. Speaking of which, to deal with a person like this subject, the sooner you make your move, the better. However, Prince has delayed for a few years. Why is that? "It was really tiring to deal with people who did not act according to common sense.
— — Because your daughter is very useful and your threat is within a controllable range. This prince does not mind keeping valuable things. Would Li Hongyuan tell her? Naturally not. Other people were not qualified to know about Jingwan's matters.
Speaking of which, Ruan Fangfei had told her about Jingwan's matters, but she did not believe it at all and had long thrown it to the back of her mind. Now, she did not connect it at all. Other than accidentally, who would think of this kind of truth? Even if Ruan Fangfei had guessed it, and Li Hongyuan had personally admitted it, would she really believe it? Most likely, she would think that Li Hongyuan was deliberately angering her. Rational people would pay attention to evidence and reason. Luo Peishan and Old Madame Luo easily believed Li Hongyuan's words because they were "emotional" and thought that Jingwan could be fancied by anyone.
Seeing that Li Hongyuan did not continue to speak, the Wei Clan maintained her seductive attitude, "Then now, how does Prince plan to deal with this subject? This subject has heard that there is a mother and daughter in Prince's courtyard in the capital. Although she was defeated, she still admires Prince. I don't know if she would have the honor to serve Prince. She will definitely let Prince experience what is called happiness in the world. " Her body seemed to be slightly rubbing and twisting slightly. She even stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips. It was extremely seductive.
Wei Clan had learned the art of seduction. Of course, it was just some small movements of her body and some external small things, such as aphrodisiac and the like, that made people feel that she was more attractive than ordinary people. In addition, she had learned the art of sleeping. Generally, the men who touched her always felt that they could be happier with her than with other women. Therefore, without a bit of willpower, it was really difficult to get rid of her. Ruan Ruizhong's sons fell for her probably because of this reason. Coupled with the taboo against morality, it made them, who had released their hearts, even more unable to give up. Wei Clan was a person with a strong desire. She had never wronged herself. When Ruan Ruizhong couldn't satisfy her, it was natural for her to have an affair.
The reason why she didn't use similar methods on Ruan Ruizhong was that she was worried that he was a little old. If she used too much of his body, he would die young. Then, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses. After all, Ruan Ruizhong had a promising future. When she first married him, he had the possibility of becoming the Cabinet Chief. Such a person could be squeezed out a lot of useful things. However, this man was very conceited. She could achieve her goal without using seduction to keep him. Therefore, in front of him, she was happy to be a good wife and mother.
She was now seducing Li Hongyuan. She was confident that as long as she pulled Li Hongyuan to bed, not only could she save her life, but she could also get something that she didn't even dare to think about before.
At Ruan Ruizhong's age, he basically didn't have any desire, so Wei Clan's seduction wouldn't work on him. However, they were still husband and wife in name. She dared to be so brazen and not put him in her eyes. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the table. "Slut, you have big guts!" At this time, she still called herself 'this official's wife'. Was she trying to make him feel disgusted? "Your Highness, you also saw it. This woman is so wanton and dirty. If Your Highness touches her, wouldn't you dirty yourself? This official will have someone drown her right now to prevent her from harming others."
Wei Clan didn't take Ruan Ruizhong seriously at all. Her attention was always on Li Hongyuan. Step by step, she approached. The closer she got, the more excited she became. Such a handsome, strong, and capable man aroused her unprecedented desire to conquer. It was a drug that only worked on men, but it seemed to have affected her.
At this moment, Madam Wei really looked like a bitch in heat.
Luo Peishan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. No matter what, he couldn't let this lewd woman enter Jin Qinwang's eyes. Otherwise, according to Jin Qinwang's usual style, he wouldn't be able to clean up this woman who brought him extraordinary shame and humiliation. If he had known earlier, he would have killed her from the start. He hurriedly stepped forward and tried to pull away the woman's carriage that was already close to Jin Qinwang.
Faster than words could tell, Li Hongyuan who was sitting still suddenly kicked. First, it was her calf. Taking advantage of her body falling forward uncontrollably, he kicked straight for her heart without mercy. Wei Clan, whose hand had already reached out to her, flew backwards and fell to the ground.
Wei Clan spat out a mouthful of blood. She felt that her lungs seemed to have shifted.
Wei Clan's martial arts weren't weak, but in the end, she was restricted by her identity. She couldn't brazenly practice martial arts. In this matter, if she didn't advance, she would fall back. Because compared to Li Hongyuan, she was still lacking a lot. It was difficult to avoid.
Ruan Ruizhong was stunned on the spot. Things happened in a flash. He didn't seem to have reacted to what had happened and the scene had already become like this. He looked at the woman who was vomiting blood on the ground and then looked at Li Hongyuan who didn't seem to have done anything. Suddenly, he flung his sleeves and sat back down.
When he cared about you, he would hold you like a pearl or a treasure. When he hated you, the more miserable you were, the more delightful it was to watch.
When Ruan Ruizhong married her, he was already over fifty years old. He had already passed the age of admiring someone. Therefore, Ruan Ruizhong cared more about other things than love. As a result, it was very easy to harden his heart.
Wei Clan's chest was burning with pain, but she stubbornly looked at Li Hongyuan. Just now, he kept looking at her. She thought that he was just like other men. As long as she used a little trick, she could easily make him fall in love with her. But now, after looking carefully, she found that his gaze was frighteningly clear. There wasn't the slightest bit of desire. It could be seen that the medicine she prepared didn't work.
He looked at her like he was looking at a clown. Her actions, in his eyes, were like listening to a funny joke. Wei Clan's gaze lowered. She couldn't help but cough twice, which made her heart feel even more uncomfortable. When she raised her head again, her gaze was even more heated. It was a naked desire to conquer. "As expected of the man who secretly controls the universe. How can I use ordinary methods to deal with you? That's simply an insult to you."
"Ruan Fangfei is indeed your child. You seduced another man in front of your husband. Ruan Fangfei, as an unmarried woman, dared to undress and recommend herself to a man. It's simply the brothel's loss that she didn't live in it. Before she was disfigured, this prince didn't even look at her. Someone like you, ha … "
Wei Clan's Madam didn't care at all as she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "In terms of serving men, even if there were ten of them, they still wouldn't be able to compare to this subject's hands and mouth, let alone other things. However, Fangfei admires you. Those in the know all thought that Fangfei was blind, but it turns out that her taste is very good. "
Whether it was derogatory or complimentary, Li Hongyuan's emotions didn't fluctuate at all.
Li Hongyuan turned to look at Ruan Ruizhong and said with interest, "Did the Grand Secretary suffer eight lifetimes of bad luck to meet this mother and daughter pair? Being played in circles and deceived so miserably, what thoughts do you have? This prince originally thought that when you learned the truth, you would probably die. Looking at your current situation, it seems that your endurance isn't bad. "
Ruan Ruizhong's face was ashen. Even if he knew that Li Hongyuan wasn't good for nothing, he still couldn't change his opinion of him. He was too sinister, always rubbing salt on other people's wounds, but he couldn't do anything to him. "How exactly does wang ye want to deal with this woman, and who exactly is she?"
"Ha, a woman who shares a bed with you, you're asking this prince who she is?"
Ruan Ruizhong felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat. After a while, he struggled to open his mouth. "This subject is ignorant. Wang ye, please do not be stingy with your guidance."
For Ruan Ruizhong to admit that he was ignorant, it still required a bit of courage. At the very least, it wasn't easy to cross that hurdle in his heart. But thinking about his current situation, it seemed that there was nothing he couldn't admit.
"Since the Grand Secretary is so sincere, this prince naturally won't be stingy. — Bring it in. "
An Yi came in from outside and handed a flat box with a lock to Ruan Ruizhong.
Right now, Ruan Ruizhong didn't have much leeway to think. Regardless of whether the things inside were something he could see or not, Wei-shi was now a thorn in his flesh. If he didn't get rid of it, he wouldn't be happy. If Jin Qinwang didn't personally tell him, even if he saw these things, it was possible for Jin Qinwang to hold them tightly in the palm of his hand, he wouldn't turn back.
The key was on top. Ruan Ruizhong took some time to open it because his hands were trembling. Not only was there a physical problem, there was also a psychological factor. Even if he didn't turn back, he was worried that he would be consigned to eternal damnation.
Ruan Ruizhong took out the things inside. It was a stack of letters. Ruan Ruizhong started to read from the first one. There were more and less contents. Ruan Ruizhong read faster and faster, and his hands trembled faster and faster. After reading less than half, he couldn't read anymore. His hands loosened and the things scattered on the ground. "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate ah … …" Ruan Ruizhong's expression was dejected, and then tears flowed down his old face.
And Wei-shi, who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, naturally saw part of the contents of the letters. Her pupils shrunk and she couldn't help but clench her fists. Because the letters were all the same, she was able to determine at first glance that these were all copies and not originals. But her basis was only the letters. It could be seen that whether it was the handwriting or the special symbols and seals, they were all exactly the same. But just this alone was enough to make her heart jump. She knew that Jin Qinwang had a lot of her things, but in her view, there shouldn't be anything wrong with the information that she sent out. Now it seemed that what was called nothing wrong, it was obviously something that was extremely wrong. She sent it out, but it was all under the eyes of others. The reason why there was no mistake was because the other party didn't stop her.
Crawling forward on her stomach, she pulled open the letter. Mainly looking at the date on it, the earliest was more than four years ago. It was about the time when Ruan Fangfei dealt with Li Hongyuan's fiancée. "Wangye's method is good!"
"You sent out the information through different channels. At the beginning, it wasn't all intercepted. This situation lasted for about three months." With regards to Wei-shi's praise, Li Hongyuan seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his own results.
Wei-shi coughed twice. No matter what kind of Jin Qinwang was, this infuriating nature still didn't change.
The Ruan family wasn't an aristocratic family. In terms of background, perhaps it couldn't be compared to the Luo family. But they had served the country since the founding of Qi Yuan. When it came to Ruan Ruizhong, it could be said that they had reached their peak. The Ruan family was loyal to the Emperor and loved the country. Ruan Ruizhong took the country as his own responsibility. Who knew how many times the people who slept with him had made him wear a green hat. His daughter wasn't his own. These matters, in the present, were already insignificant. He slid down to kneel on the ground, "Wangye, this official is guilty. This official is guilty and deserves ten thousand deaths."
"You want to ask for forgiveness, but the target shouldn't be ben wang."
Ruan Ruizhong's body stiffened slightly, "This official is willing to serve Wangye like a dog and horse. Asking Wangye to give me a way out."
More than half of the information on those letters had passed through his hands. Although they had been stolen by Wei shi, Wei shi was his legal wife. They had shared the same bed for two years. If he said that he knew nothing about her actions, not to mention outsiders, he would not believe it. In other people's shoes, he would not believe it either.
Once this matter was exposed, he wouldn't be able to escape the crime of "treason with the enemy". That was a great crime that involved the confiscation of his property and the extermination of his family. Therefore, his personal honor and disgrace were really not worth mentioning.
After the heaviest blow, Ruan Ruizhong became abnormally clear-headed. His muddled brain started to work again. The current situation absolutely didn't allow him to be unable to recover. If he didn't think of a way to reverse the situation, he would be the biggest sinner of the Ruan family. In the future, when he went underground, what would he use to face his ancestors?
No matter how stupid he was, he should know the true face of this Jin Qinwang. He had long known about the matter but concealed it. He knew the whole story from beginning to end. Then, everything still had room to maneuver.
From beginning to end, he was neutral and unwilling to take sides because he didn't really think highly of that Prince. Now, he only knew the tip of the iceberg of Jin Qinwang's unknown side, but it let him see the potential of ascending to the throne. In addition, he had grasped his own fatal weakness. "The right time, the right place, and the right people" were all present. Then, there was nothing to assist him.
"Ruan Ruizhong, ben wang acknowledges your ability. But someone like you who is about to lie in the coffin, who knows when you will really lie in the coffin. Is it worth the lives of the entire Ruan family? There are so many capable people with lofty ideals in the world. "
Ruan Ruizhong was silent. He knew that what Li Hongyuan said was true. Not to mention others, even among the officials in the court, there were many who secretly pledged their allegiance to him and worked for him. Other people aside, his recent "arch-enemy" Luo Peishan was certainly already helping him. Jin Qinwang was his future grandson-in-law, helping him was a matter of course.
"The lives of this official's entire family, in Wangye's eyes, are like ants. But to this official, it is as important as ten thousand catties, even more important than life. Wangye is currently in a period of dormancy. Rather than borrowing other people's hands to report this matter to His Majesty, it is better to be magnanimous and let off a group of ants. This official will not hesitate to die ten thousand times for Wangye.
Although Wangye can find countless people to work for him, once the position of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet is vacant, there will be a scramble from all sides. Even if the person who finally sits in this position is Wangye's loyal follower, not to mention that there will be a lot of incidents in the process, to adapt to this position and handle things with ease, there will also be a process. In addition, the other three people in the Cabinet all have their own standpoints, wanting to sit in this position is not easy. It is better to do it like it is now. For Wangye, there is no loss and it also reduces unnecessary trouble and possible unforeseen events. "
"It is said that the Grand Secretary is a capable person. It can be seen that not only is he good at handling political affairs, his skill in flattery is also not bad." Although from the beginning, he intended to keep Ruan Ruizhong, no matter what, the other party had to rush to beg for it, and not him revealing his trump card and letting Ruan Ruizhong take the initiative. Moreover, in the current Ruan family, the bad reputation brought by Ruan Fangfei, it was not impossible to wash it clean. In the previous life, everything was exposed. Li Hongyuan now saved his old face and also saved the lives of the entire family. Look, he was so benevolent.
"Your Highness praises me too much." Ruan Ruizhong said without changing his expression.
Therefore, as a qualified scholar-official, what he cared about the most would always be the family. When everything else did not go against this principle, he could pamper, love, and hold it. But once it went against this principle, everything else could be abandoned. Dignity, reputation, life, everything else could also turn a "soft bone" into a "hard bone".
Ruan Ruizhong's current state was also within Li Hongyuan's expectations. Because of Ruan Fangfei, because of Madam Wei, the blows to him were small. As long as he did not die, the probability of him standing up in the end was more than 90%.
"Keeping you can indeed save a lot of trouble." Li Hongyuan was not afraid of trouble, but if he could save it, he would save it. Because that would consume more of his energy, he was more willing to use this energy on Wan Wan.
The joy in Ruan Ruizhong's eyes disappeared in a flash. "Many thanks, Your Highness. Dare I ask, Your Highness, how should we deal with Madam Wei? " This question was purely a matter of business and did not contain any personal feelings, but one could tell from the way he addressed Ruan Ruizhong.
"Keep her. She knows your body the best. Let her continue to nurse your body. You have to live a few more years so that this prince will not lose money in this deal. If she dies, the people behind her will be alarmed. It is difficult to guarantee that they will not send someone else. Instead of sending someone else, it is better to hold the ready-made one in our hands and let her pass on some things that this prince wants her to pass on. "
"Your Highness is right." Ruan Ruizhong nodded. It seemed that he did not feel uncomfortable keeping such a woman by his side.
Another characteristic of scholar-officials was that they could bend and stretch to achieve their goals.
Under Li Hongyuan's signal, An Jiu came in, pinched Madam Wei's chin, and quickly stuffed a pill into her mouth. Even if he kept her, he had to minimize her threat. From now on, not to mention martial arts, she would become a slender and weak ordinary woman of the inner residence who would pant after walking a few steps.
"Every day that Ruan Ruizhong dies is a day that you can live."
For the sake of her family's life, Madam Wei would do her best to nurse Ruan Ruizhong's body.
"Take these letters and read them carefully. With Ruan daren's intelligence, it should not be difficult to find out who is behind her. Ruan Ruizhong, this woman is with you. If anything happens, don't blame this prince for settling old and new debts. "
"Your Highness, please rest assured." It was said that one would learn from one's mistakes. Ruan Ruizhong had suffered such a big loss. If he still could not control Madam Wei who had lost her wings, he would have lived for decades in vain.
"After returning to the capital, this prince will arrange a few people for you."
"That is the most appropriate." Ruan Ruizhong nodded in agreement without saying anything else.
This night had also wasted a lot of time. Li Hongyuan prepared to leave.
"This subject has one more thing to ask Your Highness. This subject asks Your Highness to stay for a while longer."
"Speak."
"In recent days, this subject seems to have offended Luo daren in some way, but this subject is completely unaware. This subject is the head of the Cabinet, and Luo daren is the head of the Six Ministries. If this subject and Luo daren do not see eye to eye for a long time, I'm afraid that there will be more incidents, therefore …"
Li Hongyuan raised his hand to interrupt him, "On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Ruan Fangfei secretly drugged benwang's fiancée, causing her to have a slippery pulse for a short period of time. Say, where did your enmity come from?"
Ruan Ruizhong immediately understood the inner workings of the situation. Don't say that Luo Peishan was only verbally provoking him. If it was someone else, they would have rolled up their sleeves and beaten him up. "It's this subject's fault. This subject will definitely find an opportunity to apologize to him." As Ruan Ruizhong spoke, he discovered that Jin Qinwang, who had always been indifferent, actually had a malicious look in his eyes, which coincided with the him in the rumors. He was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
That powerless Jin Qinwang, even if he was malicious and ruthless, wouldn't let these old officials care about him. Now that he thought about it, it was really the ignorant who had no fear. He was also glad that Jin Qinwang didn't really want to take someone's life at the slightest disagreement. Otherwise, who knows how many people would die in court without knowing why. Jin Qinwang had that ability.
Hearing that Jin Qinwang cared about his current fiancée, he couldn't be blamed for tidying up that vile spawn.
He wasn't just deceived by Wei-shi. That vile spawn pretended to be filial and well-behaved in front of him. Wasn't that also deceiving him?
"Let's not talk about the matter of her shamelessly recommending herself to the pillow. Let's not talk about her repeatedly scheming against ben wang's previous fiancées. As for drugging and sending her to a man's bed, that's a small matter. How many people she killed in your Ruan family's backyard, and how she had intimate relations with her cousin in private, it has nothing to do with ben wang. Touching ben wang's current fiancée, she deserves to die ten thousand deaths. But to let her die like this is rather letting her off too easily. Tomorrow, send her to Zhong Qinwang's hands. In any case, she's not your seed. In the future, just treat it as if this person had never appeared in the Ruan family."
Although he already loathed Ruan Fangfei to the extreme, but hearing her conduct and deeds, such a poisonous heart, just like her mother, he still felt like a mouthful of old blood was stuck in his throat. It was unbearable. His illustrious reputation was in vain. How could he be so blind when it came to this pair of mother and daughter? Such a person, it was no wonder that Jin Qinwang was so disgusted.
"I will follow Wangye's instructions."
Li Hongyuan was unhappy, so naturally, he would make others unhappy as well. He had always understood the essence of it. Now that Ruan Rui Zhong happened to bump into the muzzle of the gun, he could only be unlucky.
After sending off Li Hongyuan, when Ruan Rui Zhong faced Wei-shi again, he retreated with modesty. With a cold and stern face, he condescendingly looked at Wei-shi, who had become even weaker after taking An Jiu's medicine. It was this woman who made him wear a green hat, seduced his son, and almost harmed the lives of his entire clan. He really hated that he couldn't dismember her body into ten thousand pieces, but Jin Qinwang said that he wanted to keep her. He also felt that killing her wouldn't resolve his hatred. He boasted of being a gentleman and wouldn't be rough with women, but his face had long been trampled into the mud by this woman. Thus, why should he be polite to her?
Didn't they say that he was old and couldn't satisfy her? In the future, he would find a way to "satisfy" her. Naturally, he wouldn't joke around with his own body. However, it would be too easy to find something to replace it.
Before Wei-shi was injured, before she took that medicine, she didn't fear Ruan Rui Zhong at all. But now, she knew that she was in a weak position. There was no possibility of resistance. When there was nothing to rely on, she naturally couldn't stop the fear in her heart. She shrunk her body, "Laoye … …"
When he saw her take out her previous gentle and caring appearance, there would be no more tenderness in his heart, only disgust and disgust. He crouched down and grabbed Wei-shi's hair, "Don't worry, let's take it slow."
Wei-shi was terrified. She had never seen this kind of Ruan Rui Zhong. She couldn't help but think of the person who had trained her. That was a memory that she never wanted to recall. Even after more than twenty years, when she thought of it, she would still tremble.
Madam Wei probably didn't know that she was gradually creating an old pervert who was becoming more and more humble on the outside and more and more tactful when dealing with matters. Of course, it was an honor that she was the only one who could see his inner side.
Ruan Rui Zhong wanted to pull her away, but Wei-shi had only become weaker, not thinner. His current body wasn't very good, so he really didn't have the strength to pull her away. "Get lost." He kicked her with his foot.
As a "prisoner", Wei-shi was very sensible and moved to the side.
Ruan Rui Zhong picked up the letters on the ground one by one. His movements were quite solemn. He made sure that he found every letter. He was even worried that Wei-shi had secretly hidden them when they weren't paying attention and even took off her clothes.
Probably because his mentality was different, Ruan Rui Zhong was especially serious when he looked at these letters. He couldn't help but think. There were some things that he didn't even know about. Then, he found a few unusual contents. They should have been sent to her by the person behind Wei-shi. With these, he really found some clues.
Hmph, with this kind of method, they intended to take over Qi Yuan's empire. Did they think that there was no one in Qi Yuan?!
However, Ruan Rui Zhong was also clear that it was impossible to send only one spy. Since Jin Qinwang could find Wei-shi, then those who had the slightest connection with Wei-shi wouldn't be able to escape from his hands. The others might be another Wei-shi. Qi Yuan had been peaceful in recent years, so Ruan Rui Zhong wasn't too worried.
This night, half of it had passed. After that, it was peaceful.
The next day, Ruan Da Furen was summoned by her father-in-law. It was said that the old furen was sick and asked her to send two people to take care of her. The main courtyard couldn't be left unattended, so she also made arrangements.
Ruan Da Furen was a little shocked at first. Could it be that her father-in-law was really coaxed by that slut? But she didn't dare to say more. She twisted her handkerchief and respectfully responded. Then, she personally led people to the main courtyard. The originally locked door was already opened.
But when Ruan Da Furen saw the dying Wei-shi on the bed, she was finally relieved. It didn't look like she had coaxed the man back. But, why did she still have to be served with good food and drink?
But before she could make arrangements here, Ruan Rui Zhong came to find her again. But it wasn't in the front courtyard, but at Ruan Fang Fei's place.
Her heart thumped again. She hadn't had time to tell her father-in-law that she had searched Ruan Fang Fei's courtyard. If he saw Ruan Fang Fei's miserable appearance, perhaps his heart would soften when she cried. In that case, the ones who would suffer would be them.
She hurried over. Ruan Fang Fei didn't have anyone to clean her up. She still looked the same as yesterday. And since then, she didn't eat anything. Her entire person looked miserable, sobbing softly. Unfortunately, the scar on her face was too ugly and couldn't be covered. Even if she cried like a pear blossom in the rain, there was no beauty.
Ruan Fang Fei cried while secretly glancing at Ruan Rui Zhong. In the end, she saw that he was indifferent. His face was full of indifference. Her heart was completely cold. Who could tell her, what was going on? Why did this old thing turn hostile so thoroughly?
Madam Ruan let out a sigh of relief. "Father, what orders do you have?"
Ruan Rui Zhong glanced at her. He knew who did this in this courtyard. "Don't do it again. Eldest daughter-in-law, remember, there are some things that I don't like people to make decisions on their own. "
"Daughter-in-law will remember." Madam Ruan hurriedly replied. But she should have passed this hurdle. She originally thought that her father-in-law was very kind, but now she felt that he was a bit frightening. Was it because he was hurt too badly?
"Help her wash up and change her clothes. Then send her to Prince Zhong's courtyard. In the future, she will live as Prince Zhong's person and die as Prince Zhong's soul. She will have nothing to do with the Ruan family." After speaking, he didn't even look at Ruan Fang Fei and left.
Ruan Fang Fei forgot to cry. She widened her eyes in disbelief. When she came back to her senses, she immediately chased after him. "Father, father …"
Madam Ruan immediately had people catch her. Her father-in-law even said such words. It could be seen that this lowly child was completely finished. "Why aren't you bringing the girl back to wash up? What a scandal to be shouting like this."
"Father, father, don't go. Why, why are you doing this to me? I'm your daughter. Didn't you say that I'm the apple of your eye? How can you be so heartless in the blink of an eye … "
Madam Ruan sneered. Daughter? Apple of his eye? These words, if her father-in-law heard it now, he would feel that it was incomparably thorny. "Shut her mouth for me."
Then, Ruan Fang Fei could only make muffled sounds.
Madam Ruan patted her face. "Save it. When you reach Prince Zhong's place, you still need a lot of strength to deal with him."
Ruan Fang Fei's gaze was as if she wanted to eat her alive.
Madam Ruan didn't feel any pain or itch. She moved closer to her. "Do you want to know why your father-in-law did this? Let me tell you. It's because you're not your father-in-law's child. I don't know which man your wall-climbing mother is pregnant with. She's also a bastard child. "
Ruan Fang Fei's pupils shrank. But she quickly calmed down and stopped struggling.
Madam Ruan smiled sarcastically. "You believe it? It seems that you know very well what kind of person your mother is. "
After all, she was going to give her to Prince Zhong. The clothes given to her were not bad. But it was the last piece of clothing and the last few pieces of jewelry used on her. Madam Ruan wouldn't be reluctant to part with this. It should be known that the dowry originally prepared for her was not much less than that of the only legitimate daughter of Duke Ding. Now, it was all saved.
Perhaps because she knew that she no longer had a foothold in this family, Ruan Fangfei was quiet.
But before getting on the carriage, Ruan Fang Fei suddenly turned back and looked at Madam Ruan with malice. "I'm not that old dog's biological child. Maybe I'm your daughter in name."
Madam Ruan was so angry that her whole body trembled. This damned b * stard.
Ruan Fang Fei laughed very happily. "You tell that old thing that things won't end like this. The matter of him being a cuckold and his son having an affair with his wife, I will definitely let the world know."
"Why haven't you blocked her mouth for me." Even so, Madam Ruan still felt that she couldn't send her away like this. So she ordered people to watch Ruan Fang Fei. She hurriedly went to see Ruan Ruizhong. Of course, she didn't dare to say the original words. She just tactfully mentioned it. According to her, he would become mute, unable to speak, unable to write, unable to write, and unable to speak.
"No need." The more she did, the more she wanted to cover it up. Since Prince Jin wanted to send her to Prince Zhong, that side should have been taken care of. Prince Jin wanted to use him. Naturally, he wouldn't allow anyone to completely ruin his reputation. Also, if someone really wanted to know something, even if they couldn't speak or write, there were so many people in the world who could read lips.
Since he said so, Madam Ruan felt that it was inappropriate and could only do as he said.
Ruan Ruizhong was also not in a hurry to go to Le Chengdi's place. The matter of the flood in the South, without him, it would be fine. Thus, it was better to take advantage of this time to take care of his body. The body was his capital. He couldn't wait until he returned to the capital for Le Chengdi to really fire him.
Although Li Hongyuan had a fatal handle on him, Ruan Ruizhong's heart was at ease. At least, he was very clear about what he wanted to do. He didn't need to worry and be distracted by messy things.
But there was one more thing. His sons were all brought to the front. He didn't care about his old face now and directly made it clear to them. No matter if they had an affair with that cheap woman or not, they had to cut off all thoughts. This time, he could not pursue it. In the future, they would honestly work and live their lives. They were not allowed to take another concubine. If they violated this, they would first be punished according to the family law and then be directly removed from the clan. No matter who it was, they would not be tolerated. "… Scram!"
No matter how old they were, no matter what position they sat in, in the face of the thunderous rage of their father, they were like quails shrinking their heads. Then, they dejectedly scram. Standing outside the door, they looked at each other and without saying a word, they went their separate ways.
Thus, while Ruan Ruizhong was peacefully recuperating, Le Chengdi and the others were busy. Following the reports that were sent one after another, it could be seen that the flood this time was not far from the truth. Moreover, it might be more serious than expected.
However, because his heart was still somewhat confident, Le Chengdi was not in a hurry and methodically issued decrees to the local government.
According to Le Chengdi's words, Luo Peishan had made great contributions this time. In addition to Li Hongyuan's secret help, Luo Peishan had basically understood all the officials in the Qi Yuan. Not only through the files of the Ministry of Personnel, but also through the secret files that Jin Qinwang had someone give him. The local officials who could be put in important positions were not 100% accurate, but there was at least 70% to 80% accurate. As long as these people were in position, there would basically be no major mistakes.
What made people happy was that there were quite a few of these people in their respective positions.
Le Chengdi felt that he was wise, and when Rui Qinwang, Gong Qinwang, and the others found out that there were some of their people, they were secretly happy. Even Ding Guo Gong wrote a letter to be sent back to the capital to be presented to the Empress. He wanted to see if she could make another move in the capital.
Who would have thought that those people were only arranged by Li Hongyuan one or two years ago, or even three or four years ago.
Methodically dealing with these matters, the people who went to the western border also sent back news that the matter was basically investigated. The countermeasures discussed by all parties had basically come to a conclusion. And this year, the three people who passed the Jinshi examination, as well as Sun Bingbi, all performed very well. They were all talents with potential. Jiu Wangye humbly bowed in person. These were the blessings of the Qi Yuan.
