Chapter 52
"Ah Ruo has met the Patriarch."

"Oh, Ah Ruo is here? Get up quickly, just call me uncle, don't be rude." Zheng Yuanshun said with a smile.

"Thank you Patriarch." Zheng Ruo got up, raised her head and glanced at Zheng Yuanshun who was opposite.

Much younger than I remembered.That's right, when I saw him for the last time in the previous life, he was lingering on the sick bed, dying soon.Today is ten years ago, when he was in good health, the family affairs were smooth sailing, and his life was prosperous.Naturally looks high-spirited.

After only one glance, Zheng Ruo lowered his head.

"Ah Ruo, I heard that a few days ago, your elder brother broke his leg while playing outside?"

"Yes."

"Hey, your eldest brother is really disobedient. He is so old, but he is still idle and ruined his family's property. I heard that he was sent back by a group of beggars this time when he broke his leg?" Zheng Yuanshun's tone was somewhat disdainful and dissatisfied.

Zheng Ruo still nodded.

"Your elder brother is getting more and more outrageous!" He said in a harsh tone, "He is also a gentleman, how can he hang out with those beggars all day long? He really doesn't care about Zheng's face, Gang is often corrupt!"

He has the majesty of the head of the family. In the past, if he got angry, most people would be a little afraid.Even the two daughters of his close relatives, Madam, are also a little afraid.The strange thing is that Zheng Ruo, who was standing opposite him, just lowered his head, but his back was straight, neither humble nor overbearing, like a calm lake, as if there were no waves.Not at all afraid of his majesty.

This made him not know how to start a lot of speeches he had prepared.I just feel that this kind of Zheng Ruo seems to be different from before, just like what his two twin daughters said.

Not only is her appearance more beautiful than before, but her demeanor standing there is also graceful and luxurious like a noble lady.Even the sixth aunt of the Xie family, Xie Wanying, who was hailed as the number one talented woman in western Liaoning, was no different.

How strange!
Looking at the slim Zheng Ruo standing in the study, Zheng Yuanshun suddenly felt a breath stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down.I don't know what to say next.

"Ah Ruo, sit down." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wan, who was waiting outside, glanced at Zheng Ruo in surprise.She didn't expect that Zheng Ruo, a concubine from the side branch, would be able to let the Patriarch invite her to sit down with such a humble status.Involuntarily, she took another look.

Zheng Ruo nodded in thanks, and knelt down opposite him generously.She sat quietly with her back to the door.The rain outside the door moistened everything silently, weaving into a rain curtain between heaven and earth, melting into white mist, and outlining her background.

Suddenly, Zheng Yuanshun felt that the woman opposite him who was a generation younger than him had a sense of mystery.

"Nowadays there are many famines, Phoenix City is the land of western Liaoning, and the barbarians are constantly harassing..."

Zheng Ruo still lowered her head obediently, but Zheng Yuanshun didn't see that her left eyebrow was raised.She was guessing, what was he trying to say after he said so much?
"Ah Ruo, do you have rice at home?" He asked lovingly.

"There are still."

Zheng Yuanshun stroked the goatee on his chin, and said with a smile: "I forgot, Wang Jiulang sent you a gift of five carts a few days ago. Ah Ruo, do you really fall in love with Wang Jiulang?"

Zheng Ruo's face turned red at the right time, and said, "Yes..."

"Alas..." He sighed, "It's a pity that our Zheng family has a place in the west of Liaoning, but in the eyes of those nobles, it's really not worth mentioning..."

Zheng Ruo gritted her teeth and said, "Patriarch, Jiulang said that even if I want the moon in the sky, he will find a way to get it..." When she said this, her face was full of shame, and she hesitated to speak. .It's really the shy beauty of a young girl in Huaichun.

Zheng Yuanshun was taken aback for a moment, thinking with some contempt in his heart that this sister-in-law is really as shameless as outsiders say.His inverted triangular eyes flashed, and he asked again with a smile: "Jiulang really said that?"

"Don't dare to lie to the Patriarch."

"Hehehe...very good, very good." He stroked his beard, looked at Zheng Ruo who lowered his head and said with a satisfied smile, "Ah Ruo, go back, your elder brother will take good care of you, tell me what you need That's right."

"Thank you Patriarch. Ah Ruo will leave!"

"Go, let's go!"

Zheng Ruo stood up and bowed to him, then slowly backed out with her head lowered.

Waiting for Liu Xu outside to greet her as soon as she came out.Seeing that the Patriarch was so polite to her, even Xiao Wan changed her face and sent the two of them out with a smile.

Declining Xiaowan's sending off, the master and servant got into the carriage.Liu Xu asked with concern: "Girl, what did the Patriarch say?"

Zheng Ruo opened the curtain of the car, watching the exquisite courtyard getting farther and farther away from him, and the rain screen isolated it.Gently exhaled the turbid breath in his chest, put down the curtain, and said, "I didn't say anything. I just asked about Wang Jiulang and me."

Liu Xu's heart tightened, and she couldn't help grabbing her hand.She couldn't be more clear about Wang Jiulang's matter, it was just a big lie told by the girl.Although she didn't understand the girl's intention of doing this, she knew that one day, once this lie was exposed, the girl would not only be ruined, but what awaited her would be even more terrifying than this. Maybe from now on, she would be sent to the temple by the clan The Qingdeng Ancient Buddha has been with him for a lifetime, or maybe he will be married to someone casually.

"Girl..." Liu Xu hesitated to speak, but in the end her concern for her made her say what was on her mind, "Girl, that Wang Jiulang is beautiful, but he is not a good match. Girl..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Zheng Ruo fell to the ground covering her stomach and laughing, even Xu Yi, who was driving outside, twitched the corners of his mouth because of her silver bell-like laughter.

"Girl..." Liu Xu didn't know what she said that made her laugh like this.

With great difficulty, Zheng Ruo stopped laughing and sat upright. A gust of wind blew outside and opened the car curtain, bringing in some rain, which floated on his face and made it cool.Liu Xu seemed to hear her say in a low voice, "How could I fall in love with a bastard..." Just when she wondered if she heard it wrong, she heard the girl say to her faintly, "Liu Xu, now the girl outside Rumors are spreading, I have five ways to go..."
