This kind of experience seems familiar.

Ruan Zhen thought of Yi Lin inexplicably.

"I am a concubine. No one is willing to stand up for me. My mistress thinks I am useless. She sent me out directly. If I think about it, she will never let me go back."

Qi Chuxin knew very well that she had been abandoned by her family since she was sent to Fanshan Temple.

When she said this, she never showed any nostalgia.

She was really tired of watching the intrigues in the courtyard of the mansion. She could be stabbed even while lying down.

Ruan Zhen frowned when he heard this: "That man had an unreasonable engagement, but he secretly fell in love with the woman next to him. Now he is afraid that the incident will be exposed, and he will not hesitate to step on your reputation in exchange for peace of mind. He is really not a good match."

It would be a nightmare for such a person to live his whole life.

Now, I have suffered these grievances. If I really get married, I will have a hard time in this life.

It can be seen that Mistress Qi Chuxin chose a husband for her with her eyes closed. It was not authentic.

Qi Chuxin was quite happy after hearing what Ruan Zhen said.

"No, that man is also ugly. He is a bit older than me. There was a wife who was married to me before, but she left early. I can't look down on such a person."

Who knows why the wife of the wife didn't get it.

When Qi Chuxin's engagement was annulled, she was secretly enjoying herself.

Ruan Zhen couldn't help but smile after hearing her open-minded remarks.

"Then what are your plans for the future?"

Qi Chuxin pondered for a long time: "My biological mother passed away many years ago, but she had a handkerchief and was very close to her."

Her biological mother also sighed in front of her more than once.

——She is a confused person. She doesn’t want to be a concubine. She contradicted her elders and married a farmer. The last time we met, her clothes were all patched. Mom really doesn’t know. What is she trying to do?

However, Qi Chuxin knew that she lived a more transparent life than her biological mother. Even if her life was harder, she did not want to be dazzled by those gold, silver and jewelry. She would become a concubine and be wasted by her mistress.

The biological mother has been fighting for her whole life, and in the end, her calculations were beyond recognition, and she even risked her life.

"I met him once, and it was a wonderful match."

Qi Chuxin was a little embarrassed.

"I want to find her."

If the other party is willing to take him in, that would be the best. If not, she can go wherever she wants.

As she spoke, her face turned a little red.

"That person gave birth to a son, and he has never been married. Before she came out of the cabinet, she even joked with my mother that she would be her son's in-laws."

It's true that she has a bad reputation, but it's not her fault.

If she had not encountered these things, she might have gone through this at Fanshan Temple, but now she feels that since living is a lifetime of happiness, there is also a lifetime of being unhappy.

Why doesn't she find a way out for herself?

She looked at Ruan Zhen and summoned up her courage: "I want to ask, does that still count?"

If the other party is not happy, she will never persist in causing trouble.

Ruan Zhen put down the bowl in her hand. She looked at the woman in front of her calmly.

He talks well and looks great.

If you are a reasonable person, you will naturally not miss this good marriage.

She pursed her lips and smiled: "You and I have a life-long friendship. When you get married in the future, remember to treat me to a wedding drink."

Qi Chuxin: “This is natural.”

Ruan Zhen put her hand on Qi Chuxin's, her eyes shining brightly.

"Then I'm going to get married. Come and get me married."

Qi Chuxin was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered that both of them had no natal family.

She laughed: "Then I'll take it seriously."

However, she asked cautiously: "I am the third girl of the Qi family, will you send invitations to the Qi family?"

If the Qi family knew that she and Ruan Zhen were so close, they would definitely invite her back in a big sedan chair.

But Qi Chuxin didn't want to take advantage of Ruan Zhen, let alone let the Qi family get involved in the Duke's palace.

Please or not, Ruan Zhen couldn't decide, so she looked at An Qi.

An Qi's face was expressionless, but one could hear her grievance and indignation.

"Minor officials outside the fourth rank are not qualified to receive invitations."

Qi Chuxin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Qi, I despise treacherous men the most. Do you need my help to slap him to death?"

Qi Chuxin:???

"No...no."

An Qi felt a little regretful.

It had been some time since she had killed anyone or done anything.

However, she raised her chin proudly.

"The Duke's Mansion is different from the other mansions nearby. He always does things as he pleases, and only invites people that the Madam likes."

"For example, the second-rank official Wang family, my wife can't bear to see that Mrs. Wang spends all day reciting poems and writing poems. She is arty and elegant. She is the most literary and talented person, and she will never invite her."

"The Hu family on Yuen On Street had a quarrel with the Hu family's wife. Although the wife won in the end, she still scolded the other party for her small belly and chicken intestines, and she would not be included in the guest list."

"I will invite you from the Taifu's house. Madam cheated Old Mrs. Liu of a sum of money last time. She is quite happy."

An Qi: "The General's Office will also invite you."

Ruan Zhen was puzzled: "The two houses have always been at odds with each other, so why would I invite my godmother?"

"My wife said last time that the general's wife will not come, but if she doesn't give a gift, my wife will sue the queen. Anyway, she doesn't like the general's mansion, so she will let them walk around without food."

This is a robber.

However, this... is indeed Sheng Wan's style.

The emperor also likes to watch the quarrel between the two houses. The more serious the quarrel is, the happier he is.

Sheng Wan and the general's wife were eager to make him happy.

They were talking here, and the same thing was happening over there in the study.

As soon as Gu Huaizhi entered, Mu Hansheng was waiting inside eating snacks.

Gu Huaizhi glanced at him casually, then sat down on the sandalwood chair and picked up the teacup on the coffee table.

The lid of the cup brushed against the cup body, making a crisp sound.

"How is Zhou Huan?"

Mu Hansheng's face turned dark: "That guy can't lift his shoulders or lift his hands. If he fails to succeed, he will fail."

However, as he spoke, his expression improved: "The thieves gave him a knife. Although it was not fatal, a doctor could not be found. He was born delicate and the wound ulcerated several times."

"The team back to Lin'an kept getting slower and slower, so I found an excuse to speed up and get back first."

At that time, Mu Hansheng generously gave him the medicine he had brought with him, and said to Zhou Huan: "This place is remote, and now we can't break through the encirclement. I'm sorry for the prince."

After leaving the tent, someone put medicine into Zhou Huan's food that would not heal the wound.

It doesn't have to fester.

When Mu Hansheng was doing things, Gu Huai was always at ease.

He nodded.

Then we talked about Fanshan Temple.

"I blocked it yesterday. Chi Zhang, an old fox, had noticed it long ago and had taken precautions."

After Mu Hansheng heard this, he laughed angrily.

"What's the meaning."

"The tunnel leading from the Chi family to the inn is full of traps. Chi Zhang has many eyes and ears. Last night, all the traps were destroyed. The tunnel was completely sealed, leaving no trace at all, eliminating all suspicion."

It can be seen that doing it authentically is a waste of effort. It is even caused by hiring an expert.

Mu Hansheng: "That old guy is really a thief!"

Gu Huaizhi smiled disapprovingly.

"No hurries?"
