After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 12 Collision
The next day, Ruan Yuyi thought that the eldest son Xu would be like yesterday, and it would not be too early, so she slept peacefully until Mu Xiang came to pull the curtain, and the light fell on the ground.

After getting dressed, he went out of the courtyard, but saw Cheng Zhushi's servant girl waiting at the side, seeing Ruan Yuyi coming out, she stepped forward and said, "Young madam, madam is here to invite you."

The matter of Zhao Rong and Cheng Xingqiu has not been clearly revealed yet, although everyone in the mansion knows it well, they still keep their eyes open, pretending not to know, and treating the eldest princess of the East Chamber as an ordinary distinguished guest, and secretly serving this The experience of the poor young lady is very embarrassing.

From their point of view, the young lady is already so virtuous and has the appearance of a fairy, but she still has to be treated as an object, tossed and discarded at will, which is incomprehensible to them.

Ruan Yuyi suppressed the doubts in her heart, nodded with her usual expression, and followed the maidservant.

Cheng Zhushi was already waiting in the main hall, and Cheng Rui was sitting beside him.

Although Cheng Rui is an idiot, he also knows that his sister Yi'er is easy to get along with, and has always been willing to get close to her.Seeing Ruan Yuyi whom he hadn't seen for a few days now, he was so happy that he couldn't sit still, so he stepped forward a few steps.

"Sister Yi'er, have you come to see me?" Cheng Rui laughed foolishly, breaking a snot bubble.

The maid beside him hurried up to take a veil and wiped it clean for him.

Ruan Yuyi nodded and smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, "Auntie is well, second cousin is well."

Hearing this crisp greeting, Cheng Zhu couldn't help raising his eyes, looked at the niece in front of him, and sighed in his heart, the appearance of this sister Yi is really shocking once she sees her.

When we met at the beginning of the year before last, she looked like a naive little girl, but now I have been a married woman for a year, and I didn't tease her, but she turned out to be more attractive.

Her daughter-in-law is more sympathetic to her, soft-tempered and easy to handle.

With Rui'er's condition, it's not good to marry the daughter of a decent family. It's absolutely appropriate to give her to Rui'er. In this way, a sum of money for the bride price is saved, and Sister Yi doesn't have the guts to object.

It's just that she and Rui'er still had less contact with each other.

Cheng Zhushi was in a happy mood, and smiled, the makeup powder embedded in the wrinkles was particularly obvious, and seemed to be falling down, "Come? Auntie called you here today, because she wants you to go to Linglong Hall to make my appointment the month before last." Bring back your bracelet."

Linglongtang is a shop dedicated to making pearls, jade, hair, face and other things for the ladies in Beijing. The things in his house are all the latest styles, and the supply is always in short supply.

I heard that their shopkeepers are always gone, and they close the shop when others are away, and they don't care how much they sell, so the price is pushed up all the way.

Cheng Zhushi paused for a moment before revealing his real purpose, "Take Rui'er to see the doctor along the way. The weather has turned cold recently, and he accidentally caught wind and cold."

Originally, these two things could be left to the servants to do, they were nothing more than errands, and it was not that the Cheng family did not have a doctor.Cheng Zhushi asked her to go to the street in person, and also brought Cheng Rui with him, his intentions are self-evident.

Although Ruan Yuyi was clear in her heart, she couldn't evade it, so she had to answer, "Yes. Aunt, are you going now?" If it was later, there might not be enough time left to go to Shenghe Temple.

"Well. You go, the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion is in the shop today, don't delay." Cheng Zhushi urged casually, turning the jade bracelet on his wrist.

When Cheng Rui heard this, he kept cheering and clapping clumsily.

Cheng Zhushi had always been very strict with his son, and rarely let him go out, especially when he got the news of Cheng Xingqiu's death, he was afraid that something might happen to his second son.

Fortunately, the place is not too far away, and Cheng Mansion is two streets away, so Ruan Yuyi didn't want a sedan chair, and was going to walk there.

She should have followed her aunt's wishes and held Cheng Rui's hand, so as not to run around with him in high spirits.

But as long as she and Li Shu did not get married, she was still someone else's wife in name, and if she really got married, it would be hard to tell, not to mention that she didn't want to get involved with the Cheng family any more.

The market in central Beijing has always been lively, and there are many small vendors along the road, shouting everywhere.

As Cheng Rui was walking, he was attracted by a stall selling chicken cubs.These fluffy little things are very lively, stirring in the cage, making tiny calls.

Ruan Yuyi walked forward with all her heart, but it was Mu Xiang who noticed something was wrong first, "Miss, why is the Second Young Master missing?" She looked around, and only the people coming and going came into view, not the familiar figure.

Hearing this, Ruan Yuyi turned around and found Cheng Rui was gone.Her heart sank, if she lost Cheng Rui, she would have no way to explain to Cheng Zhushi.

Besides, he is an idiot, what should he do if something happens to him?

They quickly turned back and anxiously pushed aside the pedestrians.Ruan Yuyi's eyelids couldn't help twitching.

"Miss, look ahead."

She followed Mu Xiang's direction and saw that there was a carriage parked in the middle of the road, with black nanmu as the body, although there was no extra decoration, it was exquisitely carved in details, which could be called exquisite workmanship.

The doors at the front of the carriage and the windows at the rear were covered with curtains of crepe, so that no one could see what was going on outside.

And the one who fell down in front of the carriage, blocking the way, was so shocked that he couldn't say a word, wasn't it the lost Cheng Rui.

Mu Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to help Cheng Rui, and brushed the dust off his clothes.

Ruan Yuyi knew that he had offended the nobleman, so she couldn't leave him alone, so she had no choice but to step forward bravely, and said to the people separated by a curtain:

"My little girl didn't like him very much, please forgive me if I offended him."

After the words fell, she anxiously waited for the people inside to respond, or simply drove away without being too entangled.

Seeing her coming, Cheng Rui grinned happily, "Sister Yi'er, you're here." He completely forgot the fear he had just had.

Her words did not fall to the ground, clearly passed into the ears of Jiang Huaiyang who was sitting in the carriage.He heard the soft tone of the speech, and thought it was familiar, he opened the curtain slightly, and looked out through the gap.

This look confirmed his guess, and indeed he saw a slim figure.

The scene from last night's dream suddenly broke into his mind, causing him to be in a trance for a while.

An oil lamp, an altar, and a benevolent Buddha with his eyes raised, smiling as always.

He clasped her wrist, kept kissing her neck, and murmured, "Lingling——"

She was dressed in water-red clothes, sitting on the wooden table, her body trembling uncontrollably, her thoughts were empty and confused, but she still dodged instinctively, causing bells to ring between her wrists.

Like a drop of rain, excessive restraint made their skin hot.

Darkness drenches them.

Jiang Huaiyang bit her ear and said hoarsely, "Lingling, look up, the Buddha is also watching."

He pinched her at the junction of her chin and her ears, forcing her to look up, and her eyes filled with mist met the golden Buddha statue.

They are making mistakes before the Buddha.

It was her only thought.

Only then did she pick up some clarity, and felt her spine being bitten by a burst of numbness, and then her whole body softened.

She rejected Jiang Huaiyang, and said with difficulty, "Go to the next room."

He suddenly chuckled in her ear, and didn't really let her fear happen, he picked her up and walked towards the door.

She curled up in his arms, hooking his neck.In the ear, the bell is still ringing.

Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Huaiyang stared at the woman in front of her who was similar in shape to the man in the dream through the curtain gap, her expression was dim.

Just now this tall and strong man rushed out suddenly and almost collided with his carriage, but now he looked closely, but he seemed to be a man with incomplete intelligence.With an idiot, there is nothing to care about——

But he changed his mind.

He knocked on the door twice, motioning for the attendant to poke his head in.

Then Ruan Yuyi saw the attendant come down, walked up to her, and relayed, "Girl, our master invites you into the carriage to discuss in detail."

Ruan Yuyi was taken aback, she really didn't expect the other party to make such a request.

Not to mention whether the person inside is a man or a woman, she has been in Beijing for more than a year, she rarely goes out of the mansion, and has very few acquaintances in Beijing, so she shouldn't know the noble person in the car.She couldn't figure out what his plan was, and it was impossible for her to get into a stranger's carriage under the watchful eyes of everyone.

She became vigilant and refused, "Tell your master that I will not evade the compensation. If there is anything, just say so."

Jiang Huaiyang inside heard the words, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, but his eyes were cold and without warmth. He thought that she would pounce on anyone who was a dignitary, but he didn't expect the target to be clear.

Seeing more and more people gathered around, wanting to see what happened.

During the stalemate, a lame young man with a cane came forward from among the people.

He was dressed luxuriously, he didn't look like a son of an ordinary family, and there was an old wound on the side of his neck, if a soldier who had experienced many battles were to identify it, he would be able to recognize it as a knife wound at a glance.

The attendant seemed to recognize the young master, so he came up to worship him.

The young man waved his hand and whispered something to him.The attendant repeated his words to Jiang Huaiyang in the car.

Jiang Huaiyang sighed, even though he lost his flexible right leg in the bloody battle a few years ago, he still didn't change his temper, and continued to be nosy as always.

He also had no intention of embarrassing Ruan Yuyi any longer, and signaled his attendants to leave.

The crowd retreated, the black nanmu carriage gradually drifted away, and a little dust was raised along the road.

Knowing that the crippled young master helped her out of trouble, Ruan Yuyi felt relieved, and thanked him, "Thank you for your help, young master."

Liu Nanjun, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, smiled extraordinarily heartily, "It's a rare scene where a hero saves the beauty, so I'm naturally obliged to do so."

He glanced at Cheng Rui and said hesitantly, "Your brother—" He wanted to ask Cheng Rui if he was intellectually disabled.

Ruan Yuyi understood, nodded, and didn't want to explain, "He's not my brother."

He didn't say any more, and said casually, "If you meet this man in the carriage again in the future, remember to stay away."

This is sincere, it is precisely because I work under him, I know that Jiang Huaiyang is not a simple and kind person, but that knot in his heart made him more uncertain after that.

Ruan Yuyi thought it would not be such a coincidence, and she didn't take it to heart when she ran into this weird nobleman again, and thanked her and left.

Now she no longer dared to let Cheng Rui walk alone, but ordered Mu Xiang to walk behind him and keep a close eye on him.
