MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 86
An Ruochen said again: "I had a marriage contract with Master Qian, although it was broken later, but Master Qian was resentful in his heart, I understand. The general also knows about this, now that I am discussing marriage with the general, I will personally discuss with Qian The master said hello, so that Master Qian would not have any delusions and misunderstandings. In addition, Master Qian has a bad reputation, and the general does not want to have anything to do with him. The daughter of the An family is easy to discuss marriage with anyone. Forget it. Master An has remembered this matter clearly. Otherwise, I will not be able to appease the general if he is upset."
An Ruoxi lowered her head to hide her joyful expression. Is the eldest sister going to fight Qian Pei by herself? Don't use her as a shield anymore?
[I can't protect you. 】
An Ruoxi blinked, blinking back the tears. Maybe their sisterhood wasn't as bad as she thought it was.
An Zhifu held his breath, unable to spit it out or swallow it back. Parents' orders and matchmaker's words, from ancient times to the present, should be like this. Now that the eldest daughter has left her nationality, she got married by herself, and even asked the prefect's wife to support her in the marriage, kicked his own father aside, and even dared to warn him not to marry anyone. What's even more irritating is that he couldn't refute it, and he didn't dare to raise any objections. The prefect's wife smiled gently and said polite words, could it be that he could still put on an ugly face?
At this time, the Sifang Duan family even spoke up to smooth things over, saying: "The big girl is so lucky, so it is also the good fortune for us to settle down. Our family is blessed, and we will have a good life in the future. When the big girl is married, it doesn't matter who will marry you The An family is always my mother's family, and the eldest girl often comes back to visit, so that we live up to the mutual affection between us and the eldest girl."
"That's the truth." Sanfang Xue agreed with a smile. "The eldest girl still has her family in her heart, and we are all thinking about the eldest girl. After all, we are all one family, so it's good to come and go often in the future. If there is anything, my mother's family will take care of it."
Mrs. Tan frowned and gave Mrs. Xue a supercilious look. She was really ignorant. Seeing Mrs. Duan said something nice, she followed her, shameless.
An Ruochen and An Ruoxi looked at Duan Shi at the same time. Duan seems to be in good spirits, well-dressed, well-dressed, and exquisitely made-up, as if he has returned to his former appearance. It's just that such clever words are always said by Mrs. Tan, and it's really surprising that Mrs. Duan said them.
An Zhifu didn't care what was going on here, he had his own thoughts, he hurried down the steps, grabbed the word "maiden's family", and said a lot of polite words to the prefect's wife, saying that if he needed anything for An's family to prepare, he would just tell him about the dowry. Always. When An Ruochen and Qian Pei got engaged, the dowry was prepared.
Tan secretly touched An Zhifu with his foot, An Zhifu came back to his senses, changed the topic, and said that of course those are not suitable, all new ones, all new ones.
"OK."
An Zhifu was taken aback for a moment, thinking that the prefect's wife and An Ruochen would refuse, especially An Ruochen, who would definitely use this to embarrass him face to face. Unexpectedly, the prefect's wife didn't speak, but An Ruochen readily agreed.
"Since Mr. An is interested, it's inappropriate for me to refuse." An Ruochen turned to the magistrate's wife and said, "I'll make a list for Madam later, and Madam will check if it's all right. If there's no problem, let Master An prepare it. Among other things, when my mother was alive, she was also very concerned about my marriage, if I want to get married, I should let my mother know."
and many more. Only then did An Zhifu realize that he had made a wrong calculation. Originally thinking that anyway, the prefect's wife said she would handle it, so he could make do with some dowry to squeeze into the marriage, and secure the title of Mr. Yuezhang, the great general who protects the country. Unexpectedly, An Ruochen put on a posture that wanted to kill him severely.
Make a list? Meaning she wants whatever she wants? And when the time comes, let the prefect's wife come and ask for it, can he not give it?
An Zhifu's face turned green.
An Ruochen left with a smile on his face in a happy mood, while Duan saw him off courteously, and helped An Zhifu round things up with a nice word of mouth. Tan's nose almost twisted in anger, while An Ruoxi was anxious to wink at her elder sister. The fourth aunt did have bad ideas in the past, so she must be careful now.
But An Ruochen didn't even look at her, An Ruoxi couldn't pass the wink over. Mrs. Tan glared at An Ruoxi and told her to go back to her room. The limelight of seeing off guests to the prefect's wife was robbed by Mrs. Duan and Mrs. Xue. She was so angry that she didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.
An Ruoxi was so stared down that she had no choice but to go back to the house. But she was in a good mood, thinking that if the eldest sister's marriage was really done, then General Long would be her brother-in-law. How dare. The eldest sister said that she would talk to Qian Pei, but she didn't know what to talk about. Qian Pei wouldn't threaten her again, right?
While thinking about it, when he entered the room, he suddenly found a man standing in the room. Before An Ruoxi screamed, he was restrained by the man and covered his mouth.
The man said: "My name is Lu Zheng, and I am the guard next to Guanshi An. I am here to deliver a letter to you. If you don't shout, I will let you go."
Seeing his appearance, An Ruoxi had indeed seen him by An Ruochen's side, so she nodded.
When Lu was letting her go, An Ruoxi hurriedly asked, "Elder Sister, what do you want to tell me?"
Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not Guan An who has something to say, it's General Long."
An Ruoxi was startled, General Long? Before she recovered her senses, Lu Zheng suddenly pinched her jaw and stuffed a pill into her mouth. With another slap, An Ruoxi swallowed the pill before she could react.
An Ruoxi turned pale with shock: "What did you feed me?"
"Poison." Lu Zheng said calmly: "The general said that he knows about your affairs. If you want to marry a good man and avoid trouble, he will find a way. But he fears that the benefits of marriage are not enough. At any rate, Qing was frightened by Qian Pei and stood on his side. The general didn't want Guan An to be tricked by his own sisters, so he used this method to remind the second girl from time to time. The antidote needs to be taken once a month for this poison. Once taken, it will not cause serious harm to the body, but if it is missed for a month, I am afraid it will not be very good, and the result of worrying about life, the second girl is aware of the result. This poison can only be cured by the general, as long as the second girl lives in peace, wait When the war crisis is resolved, the general will offer the antidote."
An Ruoxi froze there, what do you mean? Did Qian Pei scare her, and General Long just poisoned her?
An Ruoxi was so startled that her stomach twitched, she clutched her throat and retched. But the pill has been swallowed, and I can't spit it out.
Lu Zheng said again: "Miss, don't say anything about this matter, and don't make a big scene. Both the general and I will deny it. The girl can't find any symptoms when she asks the doctor for her pulse. Others only think that the girl is crazy. And if the matter breaks out, we will Instead, it’s not easy to deliver medicine to the girl. I’ve finished my words, take care, girl. Welcome to Ziyun Tower as a guest. Farewell.”
An Ruoxi's mind was buzzing, she only knew that she had been poisoned, that before entering the house she was full of joy, but after entering the house, she felt like falling into hell. Need to take antidote every month? ! What if they missed it, what if they lost the antidote?
An Ruoxi wanted to vomit desperately, but couldn't, and wanted to scold Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng had quietly left. An Ruoxi was stunned for a long time, thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind, but in the end she could only throw herself on the bed and cry loudly.
Lu Zheng rushed to the main gate of An Mansion with a normal expression, and returned to the large team that An Ruochen and the others were leaving. When Tian Qing saw him, he asked softly, "Is the matter settled?"
"Naturally. If you don't want to be this villain, let me do it."
Tian Qing chuckled: "I don't want to see girls crying at home, and it's scary to make a scene."
Lu Zheng gave him a white look. "When Miss An asks, you explain. You have to do the same thing."
"Miss An may not ask." Tian Qing said.
Then Miss An asked.
Because An Ruoxi came back to her senses after crying, and the next day, she went to Ziyun Tower to ask her teacher for her crimes.
When An Ruoxi arrived, An Ruochen was returning from a visit to a nunnery, and saw An Ruoxi waiting for her at the gate of the mansion.
"They said you weren't here and wouldn't let me in." An Ruoxi's tone was quite arrogant.
This attitude made An Ruochen unhappy. "You see, I'm not here." She led An Ruoxi in, handed over the sundries to the maid who came to meet her, ordered tea to be prepared, and received An Ruoxi in the side hall.
An Ruoxi followed her all the way, keeping her head down and saying nothing, followed by Lu Zheng and Tian Qing. An Ruoxi looked at Lu Zheng before, but hurriedly avoided it. Lu Zheng acted as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened.
The road to the side hall was not too long, but An Ruoxi had a hard time walking. Lu Zheng behind her made her feel like a light on her back, but she gritted her teeth and felt that she had to expose An Ruochen to her face. In her opinion, what An Ruochen did was a hundred times more disgusting than Qian Pei's!
An Ruochen led An Ruoxi into the side hall, Lu Zheng stayed on duty not far away, and Tian Qing left. Actually, the two of them didn't need to follow An Ruochen in Ziyun Tower, after all, the guards were on duty, so their safety was still guaranteed. It's just that An Ruochen saw a guest, and it was An Ruoxi again, and Lu Zheng took the initiative to stay. If An Ruochen pursued the matter, he would always answer. Tian Qing slipped so fast that Lu Zhengbai gave him several glances.
An Ruoxi and Lu Zheng were separated by a wall, and they were not so awkward anymore. She looked down at her fingers and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, the girl served tea, and An Ruochen asked, "What do you want from me?" The prefect's wife went to many places in succession. Could it be that it took only a day, and the villain troubled An Ruoxi again, right?
An Ruoxi took a deep breath and said, "I have a problem, and I want to ask my sister what to do."
An Ruochen frowned, did Qian Peizhen react so quickly? "Tell me." It seemed that she really had to have the cheek to pull on the prefect's wife again.
An Ruoxi raised her chin, and was angered by An Ruochen's indifferent tone, she said: "Sister is amazing, in the past, you only climbed a high branch and became a manager, so your goal is not It’s the general’s wife who is in charge.”
An Ruochen was taken aback for a moment, then raised his chin, subconsciously imitating a general's eyebrow raising. This second sister has made a mistake again, right?
"So?" An Ruochen's tone became cold, "I'm a general's wife and you are unhappy again? If my attitude towards you in the past has misunderstood you, you feel that you can come to me and yell at me at any time I'm really sorry for being cynical and sarcastic. I'll make it clear to you again, just say what you have to say, and say it well, don't take the stinky temper of An's family to me."
"Say it straight up." An Ruoxi jumped up, "You are amazing, you are the same as others, how can you fascinate General Long. You are hypocritical, cunning and vicious, worse than Qian Pei."
An Ruochen didn't understand what An Ruoxi was up to, she frowned and stared at An Ruoxi.
"Your guard." An Ruoxi pointed to the outside, a distance away from the window, standing outside was Lu Zheng. "Bring him home, while the prefect's wife was talking about the marriage with daddy, break into my room and force me to take the poison, saying that I need to take the antidote every month. If I do you any harm, then Teach me to die of poison."
An Ruochen was surprised, but she quickly withdrew her expression and sat still.
An Ruoxi stared at her, sneered and said: "You want to tell me that you don't know? General Long is really good at tricks, he dares to do anything for you. Qian Pei is just threatening me, but the general dares to kill people. Is it the work of the Great General Protecting the Nation? Extremely shameless!"
An Ruochen didn't speak, it didn't matter whether she knew or not. What the general did for her, she didn't want to write herself out and pretend to be innocent. And she knew that to An Ruoxi, it didn't matter. What's important is that she was threatened by Qian Pei and poisoned by the general, and she was bullied on both sides.
An Ruoxi glared at An Ruochen, but An Ruochen looked directly at her without dodging. An Ruoxi stared and laughed loudly: "Sister, you are really good at tricks. Tell me the truth, what did you do to the general? You climbed into his bed and became his liaison girl, you Hu Meizi is so good at kung fu that he has won the general's heart, so he did this outrageous thing for you? That's right, you won't be able to marry anyway, at least the general is handsome and handsome, much better than that Mr. Qian. "
An Ruochen still didn't speak, she was busy suppressing her anger.
An Ruoxi still didn't give up, she slapped the desk in An Ruochen's hand, and said loudly: "Just coax me to find a good marriage for me, do you think I'm a fool?"
An Ruochen stared at her, An Ruoxi finished yelling, took two steps back under An Ruochen's gaze, and sat back on the chair.
An Ruochen said coldly: "Have you lost your temper? Have you lost your prestige? Has the matter been resolved?"
An Ruoxi pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.
"You said that you have difficulties, so you have this difficulty? You want to ask me for advice, but I can teach you how to deal with things." An Ruochen stared at An Ruoxi, her voice was stern, not angry but mighty: "The first One, judge the situation, you have to figure out what your current situation is. Qian Pei threatens you, the general threatens you, have you ever thought about why? If you are not worth using, Qian Pei will not bother to talk to you. But you have to understand, You only want to be safe for a while, but you don’t find a way out, so you will be in his hands for the rest of your life. When he has used you up, you are useless, and you know too much. Will he kill you? The general threatens you, Why? It's a precaution. If you don't have bad intentions and don't murder me, what will he do to you?"
"Second, bear the burden of humiliation. Do you think I dared to smack the table with my father? I will agree with what he says. I will avoid you as much as I can. If you don't provoke or cause trouble, just wait for the opportunity. Now that you have been hit Poison, if you want to live in peace and stability, don’t be arrogant in front of me. You just insulted and provoked me and annoyed me. What good is it for you? You even took the poison. Forbearance, how do you live? If you are smart, you should cry with me, complain about your grievances, hug me and talk about how difficult and scary these days have been. I can speak in front of the general, and if I wish Helping you, can you solve your crisis? You yelled at me, trying to make yourself happy for a while, but you cut off your own escape route. "
An Ruoxi was speechless, and was so trained that she couldn't speak. At the beginning, An Ruochen really used all kinds of disguises at home, making everyone look down on her, thinking that she was just a joke and nothing happened, but in the end, she ran away desperately. Moreover, it succeeded. Not only that, but when she came back, she turned out to be the future general's wife.
"Don't be arrogant, save yourself a way out. You have to know what you are planning? In the back house, wives and concubines fight fiercely, and all kinds of schemes are just for the favor, to gain status in the family, and to take advantage of it. What about you, What do you want? I am about to marry the general now, if you don’t flatter me, you should live in harmony with me anyway, beg for my help, and come here to be arrogant with me, are you out of your mind?”
"Then..." An Ruoxi opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by An Ruochen.
"I have nothing to do with the general. You are full of swear words, nonsense, yelling, and disrespectful. I don't want to talk to you today. You go back. When you think about it, you really have difficulties. Come and ask me for advice. Come back with another face."
An Ruochen said that she was about to leave, An Ruoxi was startled, and hurriedly tugged on her sister's sleeve: "It was my fault, I was angry at the same time, and then I was afraid. Once I was afraid, I couldn't control my temper. Sister, you know that. Just forgive me this time."
An Ruochen stared at her: "I don't know that you can't control your temper because you're afraid, but I do know that you don't dare to yell at Qian Pei like that, but you often come here to yell at me."
An Ruoxi responded, "Isn't that, you are my sister."
An Ruochen pointed to the chair: "Since you are sisters, sit down, your mother is in charge of your father's accounts, and tell me, what other valuable things does he have that are dear to his heart?"
An Ruoxi was stunned, her mind automatically began to seriously think about what kind of treasures her father had, and she reported how many, thinking about it wrong, she obviously came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, why did she and her sister start to seek father's property together?
