Looking at Ruan Yunluo's indifferent look, Xiao Chongjing felt awkward for no reason.
He often had this feeling recently, feeling that he was not like her husband, but like an actor on the stage.
Because she was just an actor, she had an all-or-nothing attitude towards him.
It’s okay for him not to spend the night in Suifeng Garden. It’s okay for him to be close to Yin Xiaorou. It’s okay for Yin Xiaorou to leave. It’s okay for Yin Xiaorou to come back. It’s okay for Yin Xiaorou to offer tea. It’s okay for Yin Xiaorou to be beaten.
She is neither happy nor sad about these things. She is like an indifferent spectator under the stage, always seeming helpless when people face her.
This feeling disgusted Xiao Chongjing.
So he looked at Ruan Yunluo with a sneer and asked, "Have you seen enough of the show?"
"Watching a show?" Ruan Yunluo was startled, "Watching what show?"
"What show are you talking about?" Seeing that she was still pretending to be stupid, Xiao Chongjing was angry, "Are you deaf or blind? Xiao Qintang just made such a big fuss, didn't you see it while you were sitting here?"
"I saw it."
"Why don't you care if you see it!"
"I'm in charge." Ruan Yunluo looked innocent, "I just tried to smooth things over, but they didn't listen. What can I do? I can't go over and make a fuss, right?"
"Why can't you!"
Xiao Chongjing said, "I can control them, why can't you, the mistress!"
"Then... maybe it's because I don't have the ability." Ruan Yunluo said very eloquently: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have handed over the stewardship to you."
"you……"
Xiao is in a state of prosperity.
At this time, a maid outside the door ran in with a happy face.
"Madam! The imperial edict has arrived!"
"Yeah?"
Ruan Yunluo felt happy.
She ignored Xiao Chongjing, stood up, and together with Aunt Wan, hurried to the front yard and knelt down.
Xiao Chongjing and his party also rushed over and knelt down.
After Eunuch Fu finished reading the imperial edict, Ruan Yunluo thanked the emperor for his kindness, and then finally accepted the gift and stood up.
Carefully handing the gift to Aunt Wan, she immediately sent the prepared gold ingots to Eunuch Fu before she even had a chance to take a look at the gold and silver field deed given by the emperor.
Eunuch Fu quietly accepted it and congratulated Ruan Yunluo for a few words before glancing at Yin Xiaorou who was kneeling aside.
Seeing that there were tea stains on her body and redness and swelling on her face, he frowned and looked at Ruan Yunluo meaningfully, "Madam, please be merciful."
"Father-in-law misunderstood."
Ruan Yunluo explained helplessly in a low voice: "It's Qintang... Because Miss Xiaorou wanted to come in, the old lady fainted with anger and hasn't woken up yet. Qintang was also anxious. She didn't know Miss Xiaorou's identity, so she …But the general has already taught her a lesson just now, so don’t worry, the general is here and she won’t be wronged.”
"That's good."
Eunuch Fu smiled and nodded.
He took another look at Xiao Qintang's condition, and when he saw the aggrieved way she stared at Yin Xiaorou, he knew that Ruan Yunluo was not lying. So he turned around and gave Xiao Chongjing a few more words, then he said no more and left.
Asking Aunt Wan to put the reward into her private treasury, Ruan Yunluo took the imperial edict and left directly under the jealous and envious eyes of everyone.
"Sister-in-law is really amazing. She got the imperial decree so quietly."
Looking at Ruan Yunluo's back, Xiao Qintang was filled with envy.
Thinking that in the future, not only would her status not be insulted, but she would also be able to eat royal food and receive a salary like her mother, Xiao Qintang secretly made up her mind that she must also be a royal servant in the future!
"It's just a decree, what's so big about it." Yin Xiaorou muttered sourly. "I really haven't seen the world."
"As an aunt, how dare you say such a thing?" Xiao Qintang chuckled, "Don't say the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. For a person like you, what kind of world have you seen? Even if you If we meet, it’s just a meeting, and you have no right to fight.”
"Hmph, dogs look down on people."
Yin Xiaorou was sulking.
She could never understand how a majestic princess like herself could be reduced to such a state.
"You are a bitch!"
Xiao Qintang was unconvinced after being scolded and was about to refute, but was helplessly interrupted by Xiao Chongjing.
"That's enough for you two."
Xiao Chongjing angrily stopped the two people from bickering, glanced coldly in the direction Ruan Yunluo left, turned around and left with a puff of sleeves.
"General..." Yin Xiaorou was thinking about today's wedding night and quickly followed. Xiao Qintang was left alone, jumping in anger.
…
At night, the red candles flickered in the Longyan Pavilion.
Yin Xiaorou wore a rare water-red dress, with a red plum at the end of her eye, and she walked toward Xiao Chongjing in a charming manner.
She raised her hand and hooked Xiao Chongjing's neck, looked at him with misty eyes, wanting to speak, and said with both aggrievedness and joy, "General..."
"Shh-"
Xiao Chongjing raised his finger and tapped her cherry-like lips lovingly, "Call me husband."
Yin Xiaorou nodded, her cheeks flushed instantly, "Husband..."
"Eh."
Xiao Chongjing appreciated the shyness of the person in front of him and picked her up with a smile.
It wasn't until late at night that the two of them took a shower and finally settled down.
"Husband,"
Taking advantage of Xiao Chongjing's good mood, Yin Xiaorou leaned on his arm and pouted, "Can you talk to the third lady and ask her to stop targeting me? If this continues, how can we have a peaceful life?"
"Feeling wronged?"
Xiao Chongjing lowered his eyes, smiled and pinched the tip of her ear.
"No grievance." Yin Xiaorou squeezed his fingers and shook her head. "But she is always like this, so there is no solution."
"Of course I understand." Xiao Chongjing sighed helplessly, "But you also know what kind of temper Qintang is. The more I talk about her for you, the more she will target you. It really makes her anxious, and for everyone No one is good."
"Why should we provoke her?" Yin Xiaorou turned over and hugged Xiao Chongjing's waist, raising her chin and looking at him in confusion, "As long as she doesn't care about targeting us, won't it be enough?"
"Oh?" Xiao Chongjing smiled and scratched the tip of Yin Xiaorou's nose, "Do you have any idea?"
"Yes." Yin Xiaorou nodded and looked at Xiao Chongjing, blinking slyly, "Husband, at the age of the third sister, it's time for us to worry about her life-long events, right?"
"you mean……?"
"What I mean is, don't delay the third sister. Even if we feel sorry for her and want to keep her for two years, it's time to prepare a dowry for her and see her. Otherwise, when the time comes, how can we find a good family in a hurry?"
"I haven't considered this..." Xiao Chongjing pondered for a moment and nodded, "What you said makes sense. But we have to wait until my mother's health gets better."
"But……"
Yin Xiaorou wished that Xiao Qintang would get married tomorrow, so how could she wait?
She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly the figure of Ruan Yunluo, who was so beautiful today, appeared in her mind. So she calmed down and said: "But mother, she has been staying in Puyu Mountain all year round, so she may not be familiar with things in the capital. I think it is better to leave this matter to my wife. She is kind-hearted and has a new imperial concubine. She will definitely be willing to do it." Give her face."
"What a great idea!" Xiao Chong kissed her lips happily, "Just right, it saves her from having to do nothing all day long!"
