Need for Highness, Enchanting Concubine

Chapter 90: Battle King (2)
Shen Tianche himself thought it was nothing, but Lian Ling and the others frowned imperceptibly.

After entering the mansion, the man led several people inside.

The corridors are winding and changeable, the trees are shady, and the decorations outside the pavilions are a bit old, but they are all very clean and tidy, which shows that the people who take care of here are very careful.

After going around several times, they finally came to the main hall.

If ordinary people came, they would have been stunned long ago. This Ruan Mansion is really a bit like a small maze. Maybe if there are thieves who come in, they will eventually get lost in it.

In the main hall, the decoration is very simple and simple, except for two paintings of Danqing calligraphy and the necessary tables and chairs, there is nothing special about it.

"Please sit down first!" the man casually said to them.

Leng Xiwu and the others took their seats one after another.

"How long has no one been sitting here?" Leng Xiwu asked with a faint smile.

The man meditated for a while, and replied: "If there is no 20 years, there will be ten years!"

This must be too long!

It's been a long time, but the tables and chairs are not dusty at all. On the contrary, they are much cleaner than those where people often sit on them. Presumably, someone will clean them carefully every day.

Sitting on it is also considered strong.

"Aren't you the only one here?" Lian Shao asked the man.

"Besides me, there are my grandfather and my parents, exactly four people!" the man replied.

But then he added: "There is also an old yellow and a little yellow!"

The person in front of him speaks stupidly, but his bright eyes are full of wit and wisdom.

In the blink of an eye, a middle-aged man in a gray gown walked in with a grey-haired man who seemed to be in his 70s.

When the two saw Leng Xiwu, they were startled.

It's so similar!
"The old slave sees the lady, sees the uncle!" The old man bowed his head and knelt down to salute.

The middle-aged man also knelt down.

When His Highness the Crown Prince heard the sound of uncle, he was quite satisfied.

It's really rare to hear titles like "Miss and Uncle".

Leng Xiwu hurriedly got up and helped the old man up, and smiled kindly: "You don't need to be polite, I just passed by here, so I just want to come in and have a look!"

After the old man got up, he introduced himself: "Miss certainly doesn't know the old slave. The old slave's name is Ruan, and Cheng is the former housekeeper of the Ruan Mansion. He once served the young lady's great-grandfather and great-grandmother!"

It turned out to be the old housekeeper of the Ruan Mansion, unexpectedly he was still guarding the Ruan Family, which had long since lost its owner.

And the middle-aged man also said: "Slave Ruan Ren is the current steward of the Ruan Mansion!"

Even if there is no master in this house, this Ruan Ren is very aware of his identity, and never crosses the line.

It is really enviable to have such a loyal servant.

"My name is Ruan Shou. I'm the future housekeeper of the Ruan Mansion, and now I'm considered half a housekeeper!" The guy who brought a few people in finally announced his name.

When Ruan Shou said that he would be the housekeeper of the Ruan family in the future, his face was full of pride and yearning, and he didn't show any disdain at all.

Ruan Cheng said in a strict voice: "You can't talk to Miss like this!"

"Miss, I'm sorry, this kid has never seen the world and doesn't know much about the rules!" Then he said respectfully to Leng Xiwu.

Leng Xiwu said indifferently: "It's okay, old man Ruan, you don't have to keep calling me Miss Miss, just call me Luo Yu. Today I'm just a passing guest, so you don't have to be so restrained. Sit down!"

"A young lady is a young lady. This old slave dare not overstep, it's fine for this old slave to stand!"

Rules cannot be broken.

"Sit down, old man Ruan. If you keep standing, my wife will definitely be upset!" Shen Tianche said to Ruan Cheng warmly.

Don't call him His Royal Highness, but that doesn't mean they don't take His Royal Highness seriously.

Seeing that Leng Xiwu was so persistent and His Royal Highness said so, Ruan Cheng had no choice but to take his seat, and Ruan Ren and Ruan Shou stood behind him respectively.

From Ruan Cheng's mouth, he learned that since Mrs. Ruan passed away, he has been guarding the former residence of the Ruan family and never left.

He was taken in by Mrs. Ruan and Mrs. Ruan since he was a child, and was given the surname Ruan. His affection for the Ruan family was extraordinary, and he was really reluctant to let him leave the Ruan family, so he simply stayed here.

At the same time, he also guarded the meager property of the Ruan family.

Except for Leng Xiwu, Shen Tianche and the old butler who spoke, the rest of them stayed quietly aside, and even Shao didn't dare to make any noise for fear of disturbing the conversation of the three of them.

The friendly appearance of Shen Tianche and the others was beyond Ruan Cheng's expectation.

I thought that this young lady would be spoiled by so many people since she was a child, so she would inevitably be a little arrogant, but now it seems that it is just the opposite.

Moreover, the more they looked, the more Ruan Cheng and Ruan Ren felt that the lady in front of them actually had a bit of the shadow of the young lady back then.

This feeling is really amazing.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was even more unexpected. Everyone said that the Crown Prince with a ghostly face had an unstable temperament and never appeared in front of the common people easily.

Now it seems that the rumors may not all be believed.

The topics that should be discussed were almost covered, so Leng Xiwu inadvertently asked the old housekeeper: "I heard that my mother has a sister, housekeeper, have you met my aunt?"

Hearing this question, the three of Ruan Cheng looked very surprised.

Didn't it mean that the matter of the eldest lady is taboo in the emperor, neither the Nan family nor the next generation of the Ruan family know of her existence, so why?
"Oh, I heard my father mentioned it once before I knew there was such an aunt, but my father just mentioned it a little bit!" Seeing the surprise of the three people, His Royal Highness added.

The three of them suddenly realized that it is not unusual for the emperor to love His Highness the Crown Prince so much, and it is not unusual for him to have told him about the past, and the young lady is now married to His Highness the Crown Prince, so the two husbands and wives must not have so many worries when talking to each other. It is reasonable to tell the lady about this.

After mentioning Nan Ruan, the attitude of the three of them became completely different from before.

Whether it's grandfather, son, or grandson, the complex look in the eyes of these three people is quite concerning.

"Miss, if you are curious, you should ask your parents!" Ruan Cheng seemed to be very sensitive about Nan Ruan's matter, and seemed to want to avoid it.

Leng Xiwu shook her head and said: "For so many years, I have never heard this aunt mentioned by my parents, so I think they must not want us to know. If I asked rashly, it would be really inappropriate, so I have never heard of it." Take it to heart. After seeing you today, old man, I suddenly remembered it, so I want to ask you clearly!"
