Yes or no

  "It seems you know, so I hope you'll be more careful with yourself and don't make it difficult for Xue Er."

  Standing by the side, the little servant who was about to go in and find Chunmei was also stunned, thinking that this Tang family's young lady didn't know what she had done again, and actually provoked her own young master to say such heavy words.

  "What does it mean?"

  An Yan thought for a moment and then asked anyway.

  Upon hearing her question, Ruan Yuqing seemed to have heard something absurd and sneered: "What do you mean? Are you still shameless enough to ask, Tang Jinyu, don't you want to save face anymore?"

  How could I lose face like that, An Yan really wanted to scold him loudly. But thinking about it, if a dog bites itself once, do I have to bite back?

  Thinking this way, she felt it was really unnecessary to stay with this person who didn't seem quite right in the head. So she took out a purse from her bosom and handed it over to the young servant, saying in a cold and clear voice: "You people of the Ruan family are indeed very reasonable, last time I was beaten by the maid beside Miss Ruan, but then your maid came after me, saying that I had injured Miss Ruan's maid and asking for compensation for medical expenses, otherwise they would report to the authorities. Under duress, I was forced to acknowledge this debt. Now, as you wished, I brought money, but now you, young master Ruan, say these words. Forgive me for being foolish, but I really can't understand the tricks played by young master and miss Ruan?"

  The words are clear and smooth, entering the ear like ice jade falling onto a plate, each word ringing out.

  Ruan Yuqing heard this and felt a surge of indignation in his heart, his face revealing an angry expression. He sneered coldly: "Tang Jinxiu, it's been some time since we last met, and you've really made quite some progress. Your words are so well-rehearsed. How is it that the Ruan family has wronged you so? Are we supposed to invite you in and apologize profusely? And then, keep you here for a half-year stay?"

  Ruan Yuqing thought that An Yan's words just now were all nonsense, just to get his attention. In his eyes, Tang Jinxiu's role was always arrogant and bullying others. How could there be such a time of humility and forbearance?

  The little servant on the side opened his eyes wide at this time, and he was slightly puzzled in his heart. The young lady of the Tang family came just now, it seemed that she really only found Chunmei girl. But as soon as he thought of Tang Jinxiu's previous bad behavior, he suddenly felt that Young Master's words were very reasonable.

  Li Yutong on one side watched with relish, and suddenly had some expectation in his heart, looking forward to An Yan's next response.

  At this moment, she felt an urge to clutch her forehead, and in her heart, she lamented again that Ruan Yuqing's brain structure was absolutely different from that of a normal person. A look of impatience flashed across her eyes as she directly threw the pouch containing ten taels of silver at the little servant, then pulled Bai Ping away with large strides.

  "With the sound of footsteps leaving, a cold voice echoed, 'Ruan Gongzi, don't be too self-righteous.'"

  Ruan Yuqing couldn't believe it and turned her head, but only caught a glimpse of the emerald green that flashed from the corner of his eye, accompanied by a silent cold sneer.

  Li Yutong's expression was frozen on her face, a pair of enchanting eyes slightly widened, full of strange gazes at the already empty platform.

  The little gatekeeper, who was holding a handbag at the moment, had an unusual light in his eyes and secretly admired him. What a handsome move! It's the first time I've seen a girl slap a young master in the face, and it's really not polite to the front.

  Ruan Yuqing stood still for a moment, then snatched the purse from the young servant's hand and strode into the Ruan mansion.

  Her usual gentle face was now a deep, foreboding grey, like the sky before a storm. Li Yutong fanned herself, her expression playful, as she followed closely behind Ruan Yuke.

  After passing through several doors, he arrived in front of a luxurious and exquisite small pavilion. Two old women stood at the entrance of the pavilion, and when they saw Ruan Yuke's iron-faced big strides approaching, they were startled and hurriedly bowed to greet him, "Young Master is well."

  Ruan Yuqing didn't bother to look at the two women's flattering faces and directly strode into the pavilion.

  At this time, in a room decorated with elegance and refinement on the attic, a young girl was drawing her eyebrows and painting her eyes in front of the mirror.

  "Spring Plum, how's my makeup today?"

  Ruan Aihe was admiring herself in the mirror while asking Chunmei, her maid, who was standing beside her.

  As soon as the words fell, a maid standing next to her in a plum-red dress immediately smiled and praised: "Miss's makeup is extremely delicate today, and Luo Gongzi will surely be amazed when he sees it."

  This woman was Chunmei, who had gone to Lüzhú Village that day to make trouble for Tang Jinyu. Chunmei had always been clever and sweet-tongued in front of Ruan Aihua, and had won her complete trust.

  As soon as Chunmei finished speaking, Ruan Aihua's face immediately showed a joyful smile, and just as she was about to praise Chunmei's cleverness, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.

  Both of them were startled and looked towards the door together, only to see Ruan Yuqing standing outside with an unsuspecting expression.

  Ruan Aihe saw that it was Ruan Yuqing, and her heart skipped a few beats without realizing it, and there were also a few points of fear on her face.

  The current master of the Ruan Mansion, her elder brother, she had been intimidated by him since childhood, although this elder brother always wore a warm smile on his face. But for some reason, she was afraid of him in her heart.

  "Big brother, how come you have time to come over today?"

  Ruan Aihe said in a low voice, with a stiff smile on his face that he tried hard to put on.

  Ruan Yuqing walked slowly, her eyes complex, and in her mind, she quickly flashed back to An Yan's figure turning around and leaving without any hesitation, only feeling a sudden strange sense of loss in her heart.

  He slightly closed his eyes, suppressing the emotions in them, then seemed to casually glance around the room a few times before saying nonchalantly: "Just now at the door, I ran into Tang Jinxiu. She said she was looking for Chunmei."

  As soon as she heard the three words "Tang Jinxiu", Ruan Aihua's heart skipped a beat, and it wasn't until she heard the following words that she remembered what had happened a few days ago. Because Tang Jinxiu was mentioned, Ruan Aihua immediately showed a mocking expression on her face, and her fear of Ruan Yuying also decreased by a few points, and sarcastic remarks involuntarily came out of her mouth.

  "It was Tang Jinxiu after all. Last time, she even came over to harass you, big brother. Fortunately, you weren't there that day, so I met with her out of past affection. Who knew, she's got a violent temper and wanted to hit me at the slightest disagreement. Luckily, Dong Juan protected me in time, but she was also injured by Tang Jinxiu. Taking advantage of the commotion, Tang Jinxiu escaped, and I think her behavior this time is really excessive. Afterwards, I asked Chun Mei to go find her and demand compensation for Dong Juan's medical expenses. However, Chun Mei has a kind heart and saw that Tang Jinxiu is having a tough time now, so she didn't press them for the money immediately and gave them some extra time. Is she here to return the money?"

  Ruan Aihe spoke while secretly observing Ruan Yiqing's expression, seeing that he had a thoughtful look on his face. He immediately added: "It doesn't matter if you're not here to return the money. At the time, I was also momentarily angry and let Chunmei ask for medical expenses. After all, we were once friends who walked together, now she's in such a state, I couldn't bear it."

  After hearing this, Ruan Yuqing was somewhat perplexed. Were things really as Ruan Aihua had said, or was there more to it? He couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he turned his head and looked at his sister carefully. Her expression was normal, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes, not like she was pretending. On the contrary, Tang Jinyu had a history of misbehavior.

  "Big brother, what's wrong?"

  "No, from now on, don't have too much to do with Tang Jinxiu anymore. She ended up like this because of her own doing."

  Ruan Yuqing nailed it with one strike, and directly determined Tang Jinxiu's crime for today.
