married daughter

Chapter 190 Adversity sees the truth

The Dai family's betrothal gifts totaled 32 pieces, together with the post, they were delivered to Xu's Mansion the next day. The Xu family returned the post, and the two families had a great time beating the gongs and drums, and the marriage was considered settled.

During this period, Ruan Yunting and Dai Ming did not show up, and they went to school as usual.Dai Ming was unwilling to attend such a noisy occasion, while Ruan Yunting was disdainful.

Even if she can't defy the emperor's decree, it doesn't mean she has to deal with it gladly.Just because she wants to cater to others doesn't mean she can't have other thoughts in her mind.

But Ruan Yunting never knew that Dai Ming was also so popular with women. In the past, she always got along with a few people she knew well and rarely interacted with outsiders. Today, she sees the jealous eyes of girls towards her and hears them say "be a concubine." What's so great about the room", only to realize that Deming's weight in the hearts of the girls is not lower than that of the eldest son.It's no wonder that Xu Ningqiao came back from thousands of miles to call out Dai Ming's name, but she was ignorant.

Gathering up his pen and ink, Mother Zhen taught him some more rules, and let him leave school.Just two steps away, Luo Shimin chased after her: "Ting'er."

"Shimin." Ruan Yunting turned around and smiled. These days, she was busy with court hearings, so she rarely had time to be with Luo Shimin.

Luo Shimin smiled and said: "Congratulations, you have got a husband."

Ruan Yunting shook her head, "You think so too?"

Seeing Ruan Yunting's dying expression, Luo Shimin knew that she was not happy. Of course, there was no woman who would be willing to be a concubine, let alone Ruan Yunting who was studying in Fengxian Academy, so she had a lot of arrogance.But no matter how talented Ruan Yunting is, she can't pass the level of family background.

Luo Shimin sighed with some regret: "Ting'er, this is fate, you have to think for the best, maybe Mr. Dai is your beloved."

"Yes." Ruan Yunting answered very casually, obviously disapproving. The two went down a few steps before she said: "Being born in the present and with such a family, some things are helpless. In fact, I have seen through it for a long time. , if you don't like it, it doesn't matter who you marry?"

"So, you don't like Mr. Dai? Could it be that you like..."

"No. Don't think too much about it." Ruan Yunting waved her hand and said with a smile, "Shi Min, you don't have to worry about me. I'm only 13 years old, so it's not urgent. I just want to say, if I really fell in love with someone Man, he will hold on to the tie no matter what, but if he doesn't feel it," Ruan Yunting smiled indifferently at this point, "then let him go. I am also happy."

"You really are, you dare to say such outrageous things. Seeing that Mammy knows how to slap you." Luo Shimin scolded her lightly, but quite agreed with her words, and said with some sadness: "But I still feel that there is a future slim."

"You marry Brother Ming as your regular wife, and Brother Ming is well-read and reasonable, so there is no need to worry." Ruan Yunting took Luo Shimin's hand and said, "Anyway, at least I will live in the Xu family for two more years. Don't worry, I'll be with you."

Luo Shimin blinked, not missing the word "at least" she said.Thinking that Ruan Yunting has always been smart and scheming, Luo Shimin felt flustered: "Ting'er, don't do anything out of the ordinary and hurt yourself."

Knowing that she cares about herself, Ruan Yunting said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

While the two were talking, they had already reached the foot of the mountain. Ruan Yunting and Luo Shimin each looked for their own carriages. Just as they stepped on the red-painted pedals, Ruan Yunting felt a strong sense of presence behind her. When she turned her head, she happened to see a man dressed in red. Han Su in regular clothes stood a few steps away with a haggard face.

"Wen Yuan." Ruan Yunting didn't know how to face Han Su, but she couldn't ignore him either.

Han Su pursed his lips, and the fingertips of his hands hidden in his sleeves were already turning white from clenched fists.He looked at Ruan Yunting with pity and guilt in his eyes.It was his impulsiveness that hurt her.All this is due to his selfishness.

She is such a proud person, such a person who disdains to be a concubine, even if she is not willing to be a concubine in front of him, how can she be willing to be a concubine from the fourth-rank secretary to the young supervisor?And even if she didn't want to, because of his father's instigation, she could only be a concubine.

What he loves is not that he can't have her, but her grievance.

At this moment, he really wanted to comfort her and apologize to her.

But Han Su knew that the closer he was to her, the more embarrassing Lord Yu would be to her.If you want her to live in peace and stability, you can only leave her.

He loves a woman so deeply, but he has to stay away from her for the happiness she can live, because the farther he is away, the safer she is, how helpless it is.

Han Su looked away blankly, as if he didn't see Ruan Yunting, and strode away.Jing Yan and Jing Sheng who came to greet him were very surprised. They looked at each other, saluted Ruan Yunting together, and then chased Han Su away.

Ruan Yunting sighed helplessly, it seemed that Han Su knew everything.He originally hated Prince Yu because of Jun Lanzhou's affairs, will his hatred for his father become deeper and deeper now?
But she had no right to comfort him.

Ruan Yunting got into the car, ordered people to set off, and headed all the way to the trial courtyard.When the work of the trial court was completed, it was evening again.

Ruan Yunting had just stepped out of the corner door when she saw two people standing at the opposite wall, one was wearing the sky blue uniform of the academy, the other was wearing coarse and short brown, but it was difficult to hide their expressions.It was Jun Zhaoying and Jun Lanzhou.

"Why are you here?" Ruan Yunting smiled as usual, "I haven't seen Fourth Young Master all day, where have you been?"

Jun Zhaoying was in a daze, and couldn't calmly face her who was already engaged.He stuttered a bit when he spoke: "I, no, no..."

"He went to find me." Jun Lanzhou smiled slightly, and said teasingly: "Congratulations, Miss Ruan, you are safe now."

"Anwen? Lan Zhou, you're embarrassing me on purpose, right?" Ruan Yunting always put down her guard and took off her mask when talking to Jun Lanzhou.

"How come?" Jun Lanzhou walked forward with hands behind his back, Ruan Yunting and Jun Zhaoying followed behind him.

"I said earlier that the best thing you can do is to find a lover for yourself while the old lady is still there, so that you can have a worry-free life. Not long after I said it, the emperor actually gave me a marriage. It can be seen that Miss Ruan What luck."

"Lan Zhou, can you talk to me without this tone?" Ruan Yunting's originally calm heart became inexplicably irritable when disturbed.

Jun Lanzhou smiled: "The girl is angry? But what I said is the truth. Being engaged to the Dai family will only have advantages and no disadvantages for you. The troubles of the Lu family will be solved easily, and you don't have to worry about the draft. Uncle Jun's matter." In front of Jun Zhaoying, Jun Lanzhou still had reservations about what he said, but what he was referring to was about Jun Zhaoyan's successor, and Ruan Yunting knew it well.

Jun Lanzhou looked at Ruan Yunting with a smile, a pair of deep and bright peach blossom eyes could almost look into Ruan Yunting's eyes: "You said, isn't this killing three birds with one stone? And there are more benefits than that, Mr. Dai You are famous, and you are not close to women. Maybe you will not marry a wife in this life. Only you will have a concubine. You only need to pay a small price, and you can have a stable life. What's wrong with that?"

Every time Jun Lanzhou said something, the anger and irritability in Ruan Yunting's heart twitched a little.She can think of these things to comfort herself, if she does not maintain a calm and normal heart, she will not be able to face the changes that will follow.

But when such words entered her ears from his mouth, she only felt extremely wronged and resentful.Anyway, she is still a modern person in her heart, and all obedience is just a superficial phenomenon.

Seeing that Ruan Yunting was about to cry, Jun Zhaoying gave Jun Lanzhou a hand, "Okay, Lan Zhou!"

Jun Lanzhou looked at Ruan Yunting, but his gaze contained scrutiny and speculation, and he didn't look at Jun Zhaoying: "I'm not right, this is actually the best destination for a woman."

His provocative tone finally broke the last string in Ruan Yunting's heart. The suppressed anger and resentment from being called to the palace by the emperor and giving it to a stranger as a gift inexplicably, finally fell like mountains and seas. Burst out and fall with tears.

"Enough, enough!" Ruan Yunting covered her ears with her hands and shook her head, "Don't talk about making him a concubine for Dai Ming, even if he is a regular wife, I don't want to if I don't love him. He is a fourth-rank man. It doesn't matter if he is an official or a first-rank official, even if he is the emperor or the emperor, if I don't love him, I don't care! But women are born cheap and born in this world, what do you want me to do?! The result can only let the main messenger behind him heave a sigh of relief, and finally follow his wish!"

Ruan Yunting's voice was mournful, and tears fell like broken beads. Because crying consumed too much energy, her legs were weak, so she could only squat on the ground, shedding her grievances at once.

Jun Zhaoying panicked, squatted down and coaxed: "Okay, don't cry, don't cry. I also know your helplessness, either, or I will find a way to ask you to be your wife? Okay, don't cry .”

"Fourth young master, be careful, there is no room for you to comment on the emperor's will!" Jun Lanzhou also squatted down, and in the quiet alley, the ridicule and ridicule had long since disappeared in his voice, and it was full of love and pity.

"It's so good to cry, you just hold back like that, and face people with a sullen smile, don't you feel tired?"

Ruan Yunting raised her head and looked at Jun Lanzhou with tears in her eyes.

Jun Lanzhou smiled: "I know you have such a temper, you won't be convinced, but you still pretend to be nothing, in your house, in the academy, in front of outsiders, you must wear a mask, but in You don't need to be so tired when Master Ying and I are here." He took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to Ruan Yunting, and said:

"After all, Brother Bei is the number one scholar, and his family background is also deep. He has some contacts in the court. I just went to him and asked him to help you find a way. In the garden, thanks to your wisdom against the Western Warriors, you changed your concubine into a regular wife, but this matter may not be possible with the intervention of Prince Yu, so you should not hold too much hope."
