Yi Lin looked Ruan Zhen up and down, but he couldn't help but not believe Sheng Qinan's attitude.

Yes, Gu Huaizhi has always been picky, and he has never paid more attention to the woman next to him. Ruan Zhen's appearance is outstanding, and it is really difficult for people to find fault.

After all, he was a man, so it was only natural that Gu Huaizhi should be concerned about it.

Yi Lin got on his horse and said, "Then I will enter the palace and send you a message as soon as there is any news."

Sheng Qinan: "Go."

As soon as Yi Lin left, Mrs. Xu couldn't stay any longer. She motioned to Mrs. Wang, who was holding the gift box, to come forward.

"This is a five-hundred-year-old ginseng, which is the most nourishing. The prince is a man of good fortune, so he will be fine. I hope that the lady of the Duke's palace will not be too worried and nervous."

She rarely said something pleasant, and Sheng Qinan's face looked much better.

"I'd like to lend you some good words."

Mrs. Xu held up the golden hairpin in her hair: "If something like this happens, it will be difficult for Madam to meet foreign guests, so I won't bother you."

As she said that, she glanced at Ruan Zhen, who was silent.

"Let's go, go back."

Ruan Zhen said softly: "Yes."

"Wait a minute!" came an arrogant female voice.

Ruan Zhen raised her eyes and saw that the man was wearing a luxurious skirt and all the accessories on his body were exquisite.

Sheng Wan walked away in a leisurely manner, but with great momentum, stepping on everyone's hearts again and again.

Mrs. Xu was very worried. In these years, no one had benefited from Sheng Wan's hand, so she stepped forward to bless her body.

"Please greet me, madam."

As soon as she moved around, she blocked Ruan Zhen behind her.

Sheng Wan's sight was blocked and he frowned. His tone was as cold as ever.

"It is inconvenient for the house to entertain Young Madam Hou."

Xu's exaggerated make-up made Sheng Wan quite uncomfortable.

She had seen the eldest son of the Hou family, and he was a very talented person. Now he had obtained an official position and had outstanding abilities. With his appearance and mean face, Xu's appearance made it hard for people to like him.

In order to join forces, the Hou family decided to marry the Xu family. I heard that Fan Kun personally arranged the marriage.

Sheng Wan also learned many times from others that Fan Kun loved his bride.

She originally thought that Mrs. Xu was a rare beauty, no matter how bad she was, she was just a beauty from a small family, but she didn't expect that she would be so ordinary.

Even a little ugly.

That Fan Kun is really willing to go out of his way.

Mrs. Xu smiled deliberately: "I don't mind, madam, take care of yourself, I'll leave now."

Sheng Wan didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he bypassed Mrs. Xu and walked straight towards Ruan Zhen.

As we get closer, we see more and more clearly.

That hibiscus face, delicate lips, and watery eyes made Sheng Wan's eyes shine brightly.

Sure enough, her brother Huai really wanted to marry the fairy daughter.

Ruan Zhen only thought that Sheng Wan was going out, so she moved her steps and gave way to continue to serve as a dispensable background color.

But she didn't want Sheng Wan's target to be her.

"Your surname is Ruan?" Sheng Wan asked.

Ruan Zhen didn't know why, but she still answered loudly: "My little girl's surname is Ruan Mingzhen."

Yi Lin ensured that Gu Huaizhi was fine, and then met his future daughter-in-law.

Sheng Wan, who never praised others, said this in a good mood.

"Peach's Yaoyao, its leaves Zhenzhen, are very suitable for you."

Xu was ignored again:...

I really don’t understand how Ruan Zhenkong’s appearance is worthy of Sheng Wan’s admiration.

And Gu Huaizhi even gave me a glass lamp.

Is it possible that he really has a crush on Ruan Zhen?

So she made things difficult for Ruan Zhen, so much so that the people in the Duke's Mansion made things difficult for her?

Mrs. Xu had a myocardial infarction just thinking about it.

She took a deep breath and stepped forward: "My cousin has a dull temperament and rarely goes out. She has never seen the world and can't speak. Since my mother-in-law passed away, she has become more and more deserted. Madam, don't blame me."

She deliberately brought up Ruan Xi just to make Sheng Wan feel suspicious.

An ominous orphan girl, let's see how Sheng Wan praises her.

Unfortunately, her wish came true.

Gu Huaizhi's refusal to marry was a serious problem for Sheng Wan.

Nowadays, as long as he doesn't have the habit of cutting off his sleeves, let alone an orphan, even the fat girl Mu from Xuancheng can happily welcome anyone in.

Xu's words are full of provocation. Do you really think everyone is as stupid as her?

If I don’t like Ruan Zhen, is it possible that I still like such an ugly thing like her?

"Which of your eyes is weird about me?" She said with a cold face, the corners of her lips slightly downward.

"This is not the Marquis' Mansion. It's not your turn to gossip and play tricks in front of me."

Mrs. Xu felt that her whole life's face had been lost today.

She blushed and hesitated, breaking out in a cold sweat on her back under the pressure.

I was about to bite the bullet and make a few excuses.

But I heard an order to expel the guests.

"Why don't you leave yet?"

Mrs. Sheng looked at this scene and felt a little headache, but she didn't say anything to stop her.

Their family, among other things, is famous for protecting others.

Ms. Xu's body swayed, and Mrs. Wang quickly supported her.

She gave a stiff smile and said, "I'll leave right away."

Ruan Zhen knew that Sheng Wan was an upright person, so he offended many official wives in Lin'an. However, the Duke's mansion was the home of Zhong Ding, so others could only swallow their anger.

I heard that last time, Mrs. Hu, who had always been at odds with her, threatened to buy the best headdress for her future daughter-in-law. This was overheard by her who had just left the jewelry shop.

Stunned, he turned back and threw out a large sum of money.

"I want all the new jewelry in your store."

Mrs. Hu's fingertips trembled with anger: "Sheng Wan, you must have done it on purpose."

"Yes, I just feel unhappy with you."

Come to think of it, not to mention the Xu family, even if Mrs. Fan is here, Sheng Wan will definitely not look good.

However, the Duke's Mansion...

The man's dark eyes appeared before her eyes.

Ruan Zhen's heart trembled.

From beginning to end, she didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Huaizhi.

She picked up the hem of her skirt, stretched herself out, and was about to leave with the shocked Xu, when she heard this sentence.

"Miss Ruan, please stay."

Ruan Zhen didn't know why and her thoughts were confused, so she was pulled into the house by Sheng Wan.

She widened her watery eyes in disbelief.

Go back and see Mr. Xu.

She hurriedly climbed into the carriage and told the driver to set off. She wanted to leave quickly, completely forgetting that she had been brought out with her.

Ruan Zhen pursed her lips. Although her temperament was calmer than that of ordinary women, she was also confused at the moment.

Especially when she looked at the rockery corridor of the mansion that had appeared in her dream, her heart beat faster.

She remembered that it was at the octagonal pavilion in front of her that Fan Kun gave her medicine and patted her face.

"Cousin, please stay here for a few months and I will come to pick you up."

Ruan Zhen's face turned pale, she stopped and didn't move even half a step.

Sheng Wan noticed her abnormality and saw fear on her face, so he thought she was timid.

"Can I still eat you? I just see how approachable you are and want to have a conversation with you."

Ruan Zhen lowered her eyes.

Sheng Wan acted vigorously and without nonsense.

"Are you married?"

"Never."

"Do you have a man you like?"

Ruan Zhen frowned and paused for a moment: "No."

Sheng Wan smiled, took off the silver wire-wrapped double-buckle bracelet from his wrist, and put it on Ruan Zhen.
