Chapter 136

Tan felt very comfortable these two days. One is that her son An Ronggui was favored by Master Qian Shixin and was being cultivated. After only two days, he found a place to install him. Mr. Qian said that recently he has to deal with official business in Zhonglan City, and Fu’an County can’t be negligent. Therefore, manpower is needed to deliver official documents and run errands for him. He asked An Ronggui to try.

An Zhifu and Tan Shi are naturally happy, and An Ronggui is also quite proud. Don’t look like it’s just an errand, but it’s by Mr. Qian’s side, and someone who can talk to Mr. Qian can be regarded as a confidant. Furthermore, how could Mr. Qian not be able to find a small official to deliver the message? It was clear that he was taking care of An Ronggui and assigned him a job.

An Ruoxi couldn’t help asking Tan Shi: “What is Mr. Qian planning?”

Tan stared: “Isn’t it? What can Mr. Qian plan. He is an official, not greedy for money or lustful, and has a bright future. Now he is still being used by Mr. Bai, and his prosperity is just around the corner. What can he plan for us?”

An Ruoxi was speechless.

Tan Shi said: “No matter what you plan, it’s not that our An family suffers. If you have this good opportunity, you should seize it first. Your younger brother has entered the public school, and there are only advantages and no harm in making more friends. In the future, if you marry into Xue’s family, you will be in the government. With the support of relatives, it is also a big face for you.”

That’s right, the second thing that makes Tan proud is the marriage with the Xue family. Regarding An Ruochen’s injury, although Xue’s family chattered to Chen Matchmaker to inquire about it, seeming suspicious of looking down on An’s family, but in the end they obediently came with the dowry letter. Mrs. Xue seemed to be worried that the incident would upset the An family, so she specially gave An Ruoxi two more golden hairpins, implying that they would get married in pairs for good luck. Mrs. Tan was very satisfied. The Xue family asked Matchmaker Chen to say hello, saying that Mrs. Xue and Mr. Xue would go to Ziyun Building to visit An Ruochen’s condition. This also meant that the Xue family cared about An’s reaction and informed them in advance.

An Ruoxi took the opportunity to say that we should go too. Showing goodwill to Mrs. Xue like this means that our family and eldest sister will abandon the past, and there will be no more troubles, so that they can feel at ease.

In the past, Mrs. Tan would not have wanted to go, but Qian Shixin told her that since Miss An was injured and there were rumors in the market, Madam should visit sometime to clear up the rumors. Speaking of this, Mrs. Tan has another happy event, that is, Qian Shixin said that he found a house in Fu’an County and planned to take Mrs. Duan there to recuperate. By staying away from An Ruochen in this way, the Duan family will not make any more troubles. This is the same as asking Mrs. Tan to visit An Ruochen, it is to avoid any bad reputation for An’s family. Since he wanted to cultivate An Ronggui, he had to prevent An’s family from causing trouble, otherwise he would be a drag on himself.

Tan thought it was reasonable, and she was full of joy in her heart. She felt that Qian Shixin’s disposal of Duan was really a master who knew how to make decisions for the people. She also reminded Qian Shixin and An Zhifu not to leak the news before letting Duan Shi move out, otherwise it would be ugly if Duan Shi made trouble. An Zhifu naturally had the same thoughts, and Qian Shixin would not have any objections.

Mrs. Tan has made up her mind. She is the wife of the main house of Anfu, her son enters the public house, and seeks an official position in the future, and her daughter marries into Xue’s family. The whole Anjia is firmly in the hands of their mother and son. Now that the Duan family has been expelled, they only need to deal with Wufang again, and take advantage of An Guikun’s young age to suppress him, and no one will be able to threaten their status.

Such and such, Mrs. Tan felt complacent, and felt that it would be okay to meet An Ruochen. Anyway, that **** was lying on the bed with a broken arm and leg, maybe she wouldn’t let them in. Just as her daughter said, she can use this matter to express her attitude to Mrs. Xue, so that her daughter can get married in a down-to-earth manner, and don’t want to make any more troubles.

So Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Xue made an appointment, prepared some gifts at random, and prepared to go to Ziyun Tower together.

An Ruoxi was overjoyed and dressed up in the room, thinking that she could see Mr. Xue, she couldn’t help but smirk. Just after tidying up, the maid came to report that the fourth aunt had come.

An Ruoxi was startled. Mrs. Duan came in, dressed in plain clothes, thin and pitiful, with clear eyes, beautiful and frail, there was no sign of madness at all. The mother-in-law and servant girl followed her cautiously, fearing that Duan would take the opportunity to sneak away again.

“I’ll have a glass of water with the second girl and talk.” Duan’s articulate and soft voice.

An Ruoxi couldn’t bear it, so she waved her hands to let all the women and girls go out.

Duan didn’t talk nonsense, and said directly: “Second girl, I heard that you and your wife are going to meet the eldest girl in Ziyun Tower, can you bring me with you?”

An Ruoxi was speechless, sighed inwardly, and said: “Si Yiniang, I can’t help you with the medicine, and I can’t take you there to do it. You just give up and live a good life, okay?”

Duan was not annoyed, and said softly: “I don’t want to take medicine, I just want to talk to the eldest girl.”

An Ruoxi shook her head: “I can’t be the master, you have to ask my mother.”

Duan was silent, and said after a while: “Madam is definitely not willing.”

“If mother doesn’t want to, how can I take you there?”

Duan sighed: “Yes.”

An Ruoxi looked at Duan’s like that, feeling a little uneasy: “Si Yiniang, if nothing happens, then I’m going to go out.”

Duan raised her head, looked directly at An Ruoxi, and said, “Second girl, I don’t know who else I can talk to in this house. I’ll leave this to you. I can’t go, please help me bring something to the elders girl.”

An Ruoxi didn’t know how to refuse.

Duan continued: “The eldest girl once asked me if she would protect my daughter with all her life. I was confused at the time, but now I understand, I am willing. I will. I want to protect my daughter, and I want to see Fang Son. Second girl, when you see the eldest girl, tell her for me. I figured it out, please let Fanger go home. Qian Pei is in jail, no one will hurt Fanger again, let her go home let’s go home.”

Duan’s tone was calm, but An Ruoxi felt a little sad.

Duan stopped for a while, then said softly: “Let my daughter go home, I will wait for her at home.”

An Ruoxi and Mrs. Tan went to Ziyun Tower. I didn’t hand in the post in advance, so I could only go in with Mrs. Xue. Originally thought that An Ruochen would refuse to meet, but unexpectedly she invited the four of them into the house together.

Mrs. Xue made some polite greetings and gave some medicinal herbs and supplements. Xue Xuran didn’t speak, and just passed the medicine box for her mother. An Ruochen asked Aunt Lu to take it and put it on the table next to her bed. After thanking you, there is nothing more to say. Mrs. Xue saw that An Ruochen was pale and weak, so she stayed for a while and got up to leave.

From the beginning to the end, Tan seemed invisible, neither spoke to An Ruochen, nor did An Ruochen look at her. But at this time, An Ruochen said: “Second sister, go slowly, I have a word with you.”

An Ruoxi looked at Xue Xuran. Xue Xuran gave her a white look, your mother is over there, if you want to ask if it’s appropriate, please look over there.

Mrs. Xue stepped forward to make a rescue and invited Mrs. Tan out to talk, saying that it was time to discuss the details of the marriage. Mrs. Tan felt rather proud when she heard this, and felt that Mrs. Xue’s mention of the two marriages in front of An Ruochen seemed to be embarrassing An Ruochen for her. Aunt Lu hurried to sit in the side hall, drink tea and have some snacks.

Only sister An Ruochen was left in the room. Looking at her sister, An Ruochen felt a little emotional: “It seems that you have had a good few days.”

An Ruoxi was a little shy: “Young Master Xue doesn’t dislike me. Our marriage is settled, and the etiquette has passed, we are just waiting to get married.” As she spoke, she couldn’t hide her blushing.

“congratulations.”

“The family is also discussing marriage with the third sister, who is the son of a grain and oil merchant in Qi County.”

An Ruochen nodded, she was not interested in the An family’s affairs, she said to An Ruoxi: “I kept you here just to tell you that you are not poisoned. The general ordered you to eat just ordinary tonic balls. Then It’s a lie to you that you have to take antidote every month.”

An Ruoxi’s eyes widened.

“The general was afraid that you would be used by others to murder me, so he made this plan. I was injured this time, and I thought a lot about it. There are always accidents in this world. If we really can’t see each other again, I’m afraid you are still thinking about your body.” Poisonous, so let me explain it to you first.”

An Ruoxi continued to stare, but before she could react from the shock, she asked after a long time, “Is it true that you were hurt by someone?”

“It’s hard to say. I’m also confused, and I don’t know how it happened. Now my mind is dizzy every day, and I can’t think of anything.”

An Ruoxi frowned: “Then, do you think something will happen to you? Why is it like leaving a last word?”

An Ruochen also stared back at her: “Let me tell you, you are not poisoned, you should be happy. Then other things have nothing to do with you.”

An Ruoxi became upset, “You’re right, it has nothing to do with me. It’s nothing to do with me. Anyway, if you really die, it’s not my turn to collect your body for the funeral.” She said and wanted to leave, An Ruo Chen didn’t stop her, closed her eyes and lay back on the pillow to sleep.

An Ruoxi walked a few steps and looked back, seeing that An Ruochen ignored her, she became even angrier. She yelled: “I forgot to say, Fourth Aunt asked me to tell you, she said she misses Fourth Sister, she will try her best to protect Fourth Sister, I hope you can let Fourth Sister go home.” She paused and said : “Of course, you don’t have to pay attention to her crazy talk. I know that the fourth sister was not robbed by you.”

An Ruochen didn’t speak.

An Ruoxi thought about it: “Could it be you who robbed me? Did you find Simei later?”

An Ruochen sighed, and opened his eyes: “If only I knew where Simei is. You let Siyi Niang live a good life, don’t think too much about it. If Simei returns safely, I will be happy for their mother and daughter reunion.”

An Ruoxi stood there.

An Ruochen hurried away: “Hurry up, it’s annoying to see you.”

An Ruoxi turned his head and left. Hmph, she doesn’t want to stay too long.

When An Ruoxi went out and saw Xue Xuran, she was overjoyed. Xiaobu ran over and called out: “Mr. Xue.”

Xue Xuran asked her: “What did your sister say?”

“nothing.”

“What is nothing?”

“That’s it…” An Ruoxi shrugged, “Like leaving a last word, let me live a good life.” She secretly looked at Xue Xuran, and added: “I told her that we are engaged to kiss, and she congratulated me.”

Xue Xuran looked disgusted: “What about being reserved?”

“I saw you just now.” An Ruoxi replied cheekily. Xue Xuran gave him a blank look.

An Ruoxi was about to ask where her mother was, but in a blink of an eye she saw Lu standing guard at the gate of the courtyard. He was looking at himself at the moment, seeing her looking over, smiling and nodding in greeting. An Ruoxi thought about Lu Zheng giving her the pills, even though she knew it wasn’t poisonous, she was still a little afraid of him, so she couldn’t help but subconsciously grabbed Xue Xuran’s sleeve.

Xue Xuran was disgusted again, and asked her: “What are you doing?”

An Ruoxi answered honestly, “Pull your sleeve.”

Xue Xuran was angry: “I mean, what are you doing by pulling my sleeve?”

An Ruoxi looked at him, trying to think of an answer. The gaze was too intense, Xue Xuran suddenly felt a little hot on his face. He became angry from embarrassment, pulled back his sleeves with a flick of his hand, turned around and walked towards the side hall, since there was nothing wrong, it was time to urge his mother to return home.

An Ruoxi followed him without being annoyed, since his sleeves were gone, there was no need to answer that, it was fine. Anyway, she couldn’t think of a reserved and reasonable reason.

Aunt Lu sent him away and went back to the house. Seeing that the tonic box sent by Xue’s family was opened, she didn’t care, and closed the box again. An Ruochen said: “Take it away, don’t put it here.”

Not long after An Ruoxi and Tan’s left, Lu Bo arrived at Ziyun Tower. After Baiying went to the Ziyun Building for inspection, Qian Shixin was ordered to investigate and handle affairs, and sent people in and out of the Ziyun Building every day. After a few days, the guards got used to it and let them go when they saw the token of the yamen. cross-examination. It was very convenient for Lu Bo to come in and find a contact person.

After Lu Bo told the matter, he asked him: “How, can it be arranged?”

The man thought for a while: “Okay, you can arrange the witnesses, this matter is feasible. If you save me at that time, I can rush to report to the general, and just take the opportunity to get down and get buried next to him.”

Lu Bo said: “No problem. At that time, my lord has already controlled Zhonglan City. Your lord can make up his mind on how to deal with all the detainees. You remember, if you want to incite Long Da to violate military discipline, if he ignores the front line and comes back to save people, he can be cured.” It’s his fault. Think carefully about what to do these few days, and don’t get confused before the battle.”

“I understand.” The man nodded, and said again: “An Ruochen really doesn’t know where An Ruofang is. I overheard when she saw a visitor today, and she didn’t say anything special. An Ruoxi asked An Ruofang An Ruochen said that she didn’t know the whereabouts of her. In that case, she wouldn’t have lied to An Ruoxi. ”

Lu Bo frowned.

The man said again: “Actually, it’s useless to find An Ruofang, An Ruochen will not be threatened. Besides, the net will be closed soon, An Ruofang won’t be needed anymore, I think Duan’s should let it go, don’t worry.” Anything less is better.”

Lu Bo said: “The matter over there has nothing to do with you, so you don’t have to worry about it. Mastering the Duan family is not for An Ruochen, but for the butcher.”

The man was silent, he thought of Min Dongping. Before Min Dongping left, he made an appointment to see him again, but unfortunately, there was no news from him since then. Does this matter have anything to do with the butcher? Min Dongping had faintly complained to the butcher a few times.

“The butcher is a hidden danger, we can’t get rid of it.” Lu Bo said.

The man nodded. Indeed. He thought so too.
