The Powerful Eunuch and the Delicate Beauty

Chapter 283 Another move?

"Ruanbao, you're back! Let's go, it's cold outside, go in first..." Before Madam Su finished speaking, she saw Su Shen coming out with her daughter.

She was a little taken aback.

However, Mrs. Su quickly reacted and recruited everyone into the mansion.

……

In the living room of the main courtyard, the charcoal fire is strong, warming the spring.

Mrs. Su looked at Su Shen who was sitting there wearing a mask, and waved her hand to make all the servants in the hall retreat, and she asked directly when there was no one else.

"Ruanbao, what's the matter today? The emperor summoned you because of the fifth prince who came here this morning?"

During the interrogation, Mrs. Su carefully looked at her daughter to make sure that she was not injured anywhere, and she was finally relieved after worrying for a long time.

"Well, yes." Su Ruan nodded.

Afterwards, she didn't say too many details, only said that she could come back safe and sound only because of the little skinny man's protection.

Mrs. Su was not surprised at all, but she was not stupid after all, she immediately thought of the crux of the matter, she didn't look at her daughter again, and her eyes fell on Su Shen who was sitting there quietly all the time.

"Shen'er, Ruanbao, is there anything important that you didn't say? For example, how did you save Ruanbao?"

"Mrs. Su, I want to ask you to marry Ruan Ruan to me."

Su Shen stood up, bowed, and spoke very reverently.

"This, this..." Mrs. Su was so shocked that she couldn't finish her sentence.

"Madam Su, the Su family can no longer protect Ruanruan, and I need an identity to protect her uprightly. Madam Su, don't worry, as long as I can live for a day, I will be able to protect Ruanruan thoroughly."

Mrs. Su heard the words, and after a while, she turned her head and looked at it like a girl who had no objection.

She sighed heavily.

"Ruanbao, you go out first, mother wants to have a few words with Shen'er alone."

"What does mother want to say? Can't you take me to listen?"

After Su Ruan asked tentatively, he was directly pushed out.

"What are you listening to? My mother just wants to talk with Shen'er about the details of preparations you need to get married. Why? You want to hear this too?"

Bang!
Su Ruan looked at the closed door and stretched out her hand, but thinking about the word "marriage" in her mother's mouth, she blushed and went back to her own room.

However, after waiting for a long time, when she was about to fall asleep, she heard movement outside the window.

Su Ruan immediately got up from the bed, pursed her lips, and opened the window with a smile on her face.

Who knows, the one standing outside the window is... her mother?

Mrs. Su looked at her daughter's face with undisguised surprise, raised her eyebrows and asked.

"What? Otherwise, who do you think it is?"

"No, I'm just curious, mother, why don't you leave the door and insist on knocking on the window."

"Really? Then why are you smiling so happily?"

Su Ruan: "..."

After laughing for a while, she finally welcomed her mother into the house.

"Mother, is the little skinny gone?"

"Ah."

"That……"

Mrs. Su thought that it was getting late and her husband would be back soon, so she didn't hang on to her daughter anymore, and just got back to business.

"My mother made an agreement with him that the next year's appointment will only be a soft treasure... Sigh! Forget it, seeing you like this, you won't be unwilling, so let's do it first, but, mother only has one point, then It’s just that you have to protect yourself.”

Mrs. Su's eyes were a little hot, but she could only accept the matter of her daughter's marriage and the person to be married.

Because of the current situation in the Su Mansion, it is true that there is no possibility of getting out of the whole body. If they really fight together with Su Shen, there may be a chance of survival.

Of course, the most important thing is that in fact, Su Shen could have asked the Holy Majesty to give her a marriage without asking her, but he didn't, no matter what the reason was, it was still beneficial to Ruan Bao.

After all, if the marriage is bestowed by the imperial decree, Ruanbao will not even be able to reconcile and divorce from now on.

But Su Ruan at this meeting still feels unreal.

Is she really going to marry the little skinny guy?
……

Three days later, New Year's Eve.

Su Ruan looked at Xia Cao and Xia Yu who were busy pasting couplets in the yard. She was still frowning and thinking about something, but seeing the two of them, looking at a loss, she immediately laughed out loud.

"What are you doing standing there with the couplets? Hurry up to the small kitchen and get some rice paste."

Xia Cao and Xia Yu lowered their heads, feeling a little bit embarrassed.

It's just because there has never been such a thing as Chinese New Year since they can remember.

Seeing the two of them going down together, the smile on Su Ruan's face froze again.

I don't know, what will the little skinny man do again?
She hasn't seen the little skinny man for three days.

Even Xia Yu, who came back with rice cereal, felt the change of Su Ruan's mood. She opened her mouth, and it took a long time to spit out a sentence.

"Miss, don't worry, it's normal for the supervisor to go out to do errands. When the supervisor returns, he will definitely come to see you."

After Xia Yu finished speaking, she saw her young lady enter the room, and after a while, a sentence came from inside.

"Has there been any movement from the famous lady recently?"

"Returning to Miss, the secret guard said that the famous lady has been in the mansion all day recently, and there is nothing harmful to it. The actions of Miss and Xiufang are just strange. Her shop has now been completed, but the furnishings inside are not. It was suddenly replaced yesterday.”

Xia Cao, who came in behind Xia Yu, spoke back.

She should have reported this to Miss early in the morning, but she was dazzled by New Year's Eve.

"The furnishings have changed?"

Su Ruan didn't quite understand what it meant, but asked again and again.

"It's just that the famous lady asked people to remove all the embroidery items that were placed inside. The servant felt that maybe the famous lady didn't want to open the embroidery workshop."

Eh?Is that so?
Could it be that the famous lady gave up because she couldn't find a suitable embroiderer?

Su Ruan couldn't figure it out, but she didn't think about it any more. It just so happened that the winter grass beside her mother also came to pick her up to the main courtyard.

……

At the time of You, in the Huang Mansion, bright red lanterns hung high, and a famous lady in an embroidered red robe walked slowly in the aisle.

She could feel that the maids standing on both sides, as well as the old ladies, were whispering to her.

She was already familiar with this situation a few days ago, so she didn't show any embarrassment on her face, but smiled, especially when she thought of the person who was waiting for her, the corner of her mouth twitched The arc is even worse.

After a while, the famous lady who sneaked into an empty yard stretched out her hand to smooth her hair, but when she opened the door and walked in, she found that there was no one there.

The maiden stood at the threshold, looking at the opposite window, her shadow, the hands in the sleeves clenched into fists.

At the moment, her mind is full of the man who brought her here two days ago and used words to draw out the resentment in her heart.

Although she couldn't see his face, the cup of hot tea pushed by the other party and a murmured comfort made her rotten heart bloom.
