Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

Chapter 393: The Playboy from a Noble Family and the Daughter of a Married Woman (16)

In the backyard of the marquis's mansion, after waking up from a nap, Ruan Guannan personally sorted out the detailed expenses of the second house in recent times and sent them to Liu, the eldest sister-in-law who was in charge of the household, for a summary.

This would only require sending a little maid.

However, Ruan Guannan took into consideration that the first and second wives would visit each other frequently, so he went to visit his eldest sister-in-law in person.

On the way back, I inadvertently heard some maids who were sweeping the inner courtyard chatting together.

The protagonist of the chat is still herself.

"Hey, you say, the second young master has been married for more than a month, and I heard that he has been to the main house only a few times. Does he dislike his new second wife?"

"It's possible. The second young master is the legitimate son of the Marquis's Mansion. No one would be willing to marry the legitimate daughter of the impoverished Earl's Mansion, right?"

"It is said that he has not set foot in the second wife's room for more than ten days. It's a pity that the new wife was rejected right after she got married. It's really pitiful."

The little maidservant stroked her hair in a pretentious manner, saying something pitiful but her eyes were full of gloating.

The little maid who played well with her pushed her arm and said jokingly in a flattering way:

"Chun Liu, I think you are not much worse looking than the new wife. If you work hard, you might be able to become the second young master's concubine."

The maid named Chunliu blushed with shame, and her eyes were filled with pride.

"Don't talk nonsense. How can I possibly get close to someone as good-looking as the Second Young Master?"

The little maid next to her disagreed:

"Even if you can't become a concubine, you can be a maid. When you give birth to a child, you can still live in the Marquis's mansion."

Her words made Chunliu feel shy but also eager to make some progress, so she joined in the fun and playfulness with them.

They were caught off guard and ran into Ruan Guannan and his group. The group of little maids were so scared that their faces turned pale and they stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Bai Lu couldn't stand it any longer. If Ruan Guannan hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed forward to shut the mouths of these girls.

"You are so bold to talk about the master behind his back and not know how to behave when seeing the Second Madam!"

When they heard it was the Second Madam, they hurriedly knelt down and apologized.

Ruan Guannan had been married for a short time and seldom went out except to pay necessary respects.

This group of maids were only responsible for sweeping outside the courtyard. They had no chance to come into contact with their masters, and of course they didn't know Ruan Guannan.

Now they suddenly saw her and talked about her behind her back. The maids were so scared that they didn't dare to look up.

Ruan Guannan glanced at them and asked curiously, "Which one is Chunliu? Raise your head so I can see."

Soon, a pretty woman with a weak temperament raised her head, stared at the ground, and whispered:

"Your servant Chunliu greets the Second Madam."

Ruan Guannan looked at him for a few times, with genuine doubt in his eyes, and asked Bai Lu beside him,

"Do I look similar to this girl?"

Bai Lu shook her head decisively, "There is no comparison. She is not even worthy of carrying Madam's shoes."

Bai Lu was telling the truth. Chun Liu was only pretty among the maids who were used to doing rough work.

Compared to his own master, it was simply a fantasy.

But Chun Liu felt humiliated. She subconsciously looked up at Ruan Guannan, and the unwillingness on her face remained frozen.

She looked up at the unattainable woman in a daze, and the pride in her heart was shattered in an instant.

Ruan Guannan was too lazy to argue with them, but he had to punish them, so he said calmly:

"If you make irresponsible remarks about the master, each of you will be punished with ten slaps on the hand to teach you a lesson."

After saying that, he left, leaving Cai'er to supervise the implementation of their punishment.

Chun Liu was crying in pain, and felt unwilling and resentful.

Resent those masters who are high and mighty and don't take their servants seriously.

But no matter how much resentment she has, the master is the master and the servant will always be the servant.

If her master wanted to punish her, she could only grit her teeth and bear it.

She didn't want to be a servant who could be bullied by everyone.

On this side, Ruan Guannan returned to the yard. Seeing that it was still early, she asked Bai Lu to re-dress her and prepared to go out to relax.

By the way, take a look at the shops that have problems.

Because she was going out, unlike staying at home, Bai Lu specially gave her a delicate and beautiful full makeup, and carefully selected clothes and jewelry.

Her eyebrows are lightly drawn and her lips are rosy.

The made-up face looks flawless and three-dimensional, like a finely crafted jade sculpture, which is fascinating.

The cascading black hair was tied into a bun, revealing a jade-like neck, which was accessorized with an exquisite pearl hairpin.

But in the end, it can only serve as an embellishment of beauty and cannot conceal her charm at all.

Finally, she wore a lake blue long skirt with gold thread piping, and her every move showed her gentle and dignified temperament.

Ruan Guannan raised her hand and gently stroked the black hair at her temples, her beautiful eyes curved slightly in satisfaction, and her faint smile was truly like a lotus emerging from the water, pure and beautiful.

Horse-drawn carriages were traveling through the busy streets, and the sounds of hawking from the street could be heard constantly.

Compared with the backyard of a noble mansion, it is full of the air of everyday life.

It was not easy to get out, and Ruan Guannan was in high spirits.

While inspecting the shops, she also visited the street stalls and saw many new and interesting things.

But before she could carefully choose, people began to gather around the stall which had been deserted.

He didn't pick and choose the object, but secretly set his sights on her.

Ruan Guannan visited several stalls and found the conditions were pretty much the same.

According to his wife's beauty, Bai Lu wisely prepared a veil hat early in the morning.

Seeing this, he quickly took it out from the carriage and put it on Ruan Guannan's head.

Ruan Guannan no longer had any interest in continuing to shop around, so he decided to take a look around the teahouse that he owned, have a cup of tea, and then go home.

She had just taken a few steps when she heard someone calling her from behind.

When people came closer, Ruan Guannan sighed in his heart that the capital city was very big, but also very small.

The man was dressed in a light blue robe, which added some scholarly elegance to his appearance, but he was also sharp. His demeanor was that of a noble young man.

It was none other than the fiancé her parents had previously arranged for her, the second son of the Minister of War, Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's father and her father were close friends, so the two families made a verbal marriage agreement for the two people who were of similar age.

They agreed that when she and Lu Yu were older, they would exchange tokens of love and become officially engaged.

Therefore, the outside world was not informed and only the two families knew about this hidden marriage.

Unexpectedly, Ruan's father and mother died early, leaving only Ruan Guannan as the child in Changyuan Earl's Mansion.

Although the Ruan family suffered this misfortune, the Lu family had no intention of breaking off the engagement.

After Ruan Guannan came of age, Lu's mother told her not to worry and wait for Lu Yu to pass the imperial examination and then ask him to formally propose to her.

Unexpectedly, goodbye turned out to be the current situation.

Ruan Guannan came back to his senses and looked at him through the veil of the hat, his tone a little distant.

"Mr. Lu, what a coincidence."

Lu Yu paused, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "Are we so unfamiliar now?"

Ruan Guannan was silent for a moment, but finally changed his tone and said softly, "Second Brother Lu."

There was a hint of smile on Lu Yu's face, "Yeah."

Ruan Guannan glanced at the bookstore behind him and saw that he was holding the newly bought books in his hands, and he understood.

The palace examination is approaching, and Lu Yu is the hot candidate for the top spot, so it is normal to meet him here now.

Lu Yu looked up at the people coming and going around him, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but make an invitation.

"Would it be convenient for me to go have some tea?"

Ruan Guannan originally wanted to refuse, as there was no other way originally, but now that she was here, there would definitely be no possibility for him and Lu Yu.

But after all, I still owed him an explanation, so after thinking about it, I agreed.

"I'm also planning to go to the teahouse, so let's go together."

Lu Yu felt a little relieved and watched her get on the carriage. He then got on his own carriage.

I heard earlier that the second son of the Marquis of Cheng'en had gotten engaged, and his wife was the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changyuan.

Everyone thought it was Ruan Qingyun, but after the marriage it was revealed that she was actually the legitimate daughter of Ruan Feng, the former Earl of Changyuan.

Everyone thought it was a big mistake, but only Lu Yu knew that something must have gone wrong.

Because when the Changyuan Earl's Mansion was preparing for the marriage, he and Ruan Guannan had made a private appointment to meet.

At that time, she was still smiling and looking forward to his success in the imperial examination, and shyly waiting for him to propose to her.

How was it possible that she married Wei Jingzhou in the blink of an eye?

Lu Yu was puzzled and wanted to find her to ask for clarification, but he was unsuccessful.

Now that they met by chance on the street, Lu Yu had to get to the bottom of it.
