Several strange eyes immediately fell on Jiang Ruyan. She took a breath of cold air and hurriedly retreated to the corner to try to distance herself from the relationship.
"Miss, you must be confused because of the pain. Your aunt is over there!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a small figure angrily came from outside and slammed a brocade box on Jiang Ruyan, and a famous painting fell out of it.
"Why did mother secretly beg Dean Minglun? I said I would never go to that shabby academy again. Who are they? They dare to look down on me!"
"Yao'er, shut up!" Liu Chengyu's thunderous roar made Liu Wenyao tremble, and then he realized that the room was full of people!
He immediately noticed Xia Yunxian, his face turned pale and he subconsciously hid behind Jiang Ruyan!
That intimate look is really hard not to make people suspicious.
Seeing the ridiculous scene in front of him, even the palace doctor couldn't help but mutter, "Why do the young masters and ladies of the Hou family accept a servant as their mother? If word spread, wouldn't it make people laugh?"
Jiang Ruyan knew that if she didn't explain, the situation might be difficult to control, "Sister, don't take it to heart. The young master and the young lady are innocent and cute, and they really like Ruyan. Maybe they also feel that they are destined to me, so they make such a joke..."
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, there was a crisp sound, and Xia Yunxian raised her arm and slapped her hard!
"My children are very smart, how could they make such a stupid mistake? I'm afraid you have some evil intentions and used tricks to trick them into recognizing you as their mother!"
Feeling the burning pain on her cheek, Jiang Ruyan immediately looked at Liu Chengyu aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, Ruyan didn't..."
She is obviously the biological mother of the two children, so what is coaxing?
The person who occupies the magpie's nest is Xia Yunxian!
Unexpectedly, Liu Chengyu didn't even look at her. Instead, he strode forward, leaned down and picked up the famous painting on the ground.
Mrs. Liu only glanced at it and immediately exclaimed, "Isn't this the prince's favorite collection?"
Liu Chengyu's scrutinizing gaze immediately fell on Liu Wenyao, but the child was too frightened to say a word.
He immediately called the housekeeper, but the old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and then said honestly, "Just now, the book boy next to Dean Minglun returned the box and asked the eldest girl in the old lady's room not to give any more gifts in the future. , the young master’s decision to drop out of school will never change.”
At this time, a thin layer of sweat had already broken out on Jiang Ruyan's back. She never expected that Dean Minglun was so pedantic. After asking for a long time, she found out that he liked calligraphy and painting, so she took the collection from Liu Chengyu's study this morning. He secretly left the house and delivered it in person.
But due to her status, she could only say that she was the eldest girl in the old lady's house, and regarded giving gifts as the old lady's order.
"Who gave you permission to make your own decisions?!"
The aura on Liu Chengyu's body became more and more gloomy. Jiang Ruyan's move was a slap in his face!
He had a falling out with the damn dean at Minglun College, and even threatened that the children of the Liu family would never set foot in the college again, but he just turned around and gave him a gift. If word spread, wouldn't he become a Big joke?
Moreover, he clearly promised Jiang Ruyan that he would find a good place for Yaoer, and he would never wrong the child in the slightest!
Unexpectedly, she didn't trust him at all!
"Who do you think you are? You can touch the things in the prince's study if you want?"
Mrs. Liu finally couldn't help but lectured, "You have such unclean hands and feet. You even dared to steal my crabs, and you justifiably wronged the Crown Princess. Fortunately, Yao'er didn't eat them. If you hurt my grandson, how many of you do you have?" Life is not enough to compensate!”
Back then, the Xia family had raised such a spoiled person. He couldn't follow the old path of General Xia's wife, otherwise he wouldn't know when he would be ripped off!
"I'm not stealing!" Jiang Ruyan gritted her teeth. She would be the mistress of the Hou Mansion in the future, and everything here would be hers. How could this be called stealing?
Mrs. Liu didn't know what she was thinking, so she snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, our Yongding Marquis Mansion will never dare to keep such an unruly person! If we teach a child bad things, who will bear the responsibility? Yunxian, don't you think so?"
At this moment Jiang Ruyan finally panicked, knowing that the old lady had always disliked her, and now he wanted to drive her out of the Hou Mansion?
She obviously gave her money, so how could she be so unfaithful!
"Sister Ruyan has no relatives in the capital. If we drive her away, outsiders will probably say that our Yongding Marquis Mansion is ungrateful. Why not give her a chance to change her ways? Just hit her ten times to set an example!"
As soon as Xia Yunxian spoke, Liu Chengyu, who had originally planned to refute, suddenly looked over in surprise. Did she really not notice, or did she really not care about him at all?
"How can ten boards be enough? At least twenty!" Mrs. Liu immediately added. She looked at Xia Yunxian with hatred and felt that this daughter-in-law was really worthless!
Such a good opportunity must be missed in vain. Even if we don't chase her away, we must beat her to death so that she can no longer serve Cheng Yu!
"Ruyan is unintentional, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please say something!"
"You almost killed the child, and then you extended your hand outside the Marquis' Mansion, and brought shame on the Crown Prince. How dare you plead for mercy?"
Mrs. Liu's words left Liu Chengyu, who couldn't bear it, no way to refute. Jiang Ruyan was quickly dragged out and pressed firmly to the ground. She looked at Liu Wenyao again, hoping that her child could say a few nice words for her.
However, Liu Wenyao, who had been hiding in the corner without saying a word, actually laughed.
As long as her mother is beaten, she will never dare to force him to go to Minglun College, right?
Soon, the heavy sound of the board fell, and Jiang Ruyan felt that her bones were about to break, and the screams were endless. The heart-pounding pain and the feeling of being alone finally gave her a sense of death fear.
I don't know how long it took before the dying Jiang Ruyan was released.
She struggled to raise her head, and instinctively looked at Liu Chengyu in confusion, but found that the man's eyes did not stay on her!
Following his gaze, Jiang Ruyan felt that her heartbeat was about to stop.
Why... was he looking at Xia Yunxian with that look?
A disturbing thought came to mind. When Jiang Ruyan came back to his senses, a pair of elegant embroidered shoes appeared in front of him, and a faint laughter sounded above his head.
"With this lesson, my sister should remember her identity even more. A servant should behave like a servant. This place is not like the General's Mansion. There are not so many good people who will tolerate you."
