Hearing Ruan Xuan's soft cry, Xu Yuning suddenly felt that he was mighty and majestic again, and patted his chest, "Don't be afraid, I will accompany you."

Hearing the words, Ruan Xuan was stunned, and asked back blankly, "You?"

"Yes!" Xu Yuning patted the back of Ruan Xuan's hand.

Ruan Xuan didn't panic like before, his head cleared up a lot, he sighed leisurely, "If you go, mother will scold you even more fiercely. Sigh."

"..."

What nonsense are you talking about!

Xu Yuning was at a loss for words, cracks appeared in the mighty self he imagined, and any troublesome person could shatter all over the ground with just one finger.She was still wondering, but Ruan Xuan had regained his composure, paid the bearer and told Aunt Liu, "I'll go right away, you tell mother."

Aunt Liu walked away with a happy smile.

"Yunning." After Ruan Xuan finished explaining the other side, he turned his head and told her, "Go back to your room to rest first, wash up after eating, and check if you are injured. If you are injured, you must call a doctor, you know? Yes, don't walk around these few days, stay in the room obediently, and talk about things when I come back."

The more you listened, the more wrong it became, Xu Yuning couldn't understand, "Are you going out later?"

"No."

"Then how do you explain what happened for a few days?"

"Because..." Ruan Xuan smiled calmly, "Mother may punish me to kneel and reflect overnight, and then... I may be sick for a few days."

Xu Yuning was stunned, he didn't really believe it, but when he thought about her mother-in-law's stupid and ugly face, it was really possible to hold Ruan Xuan who had to go to the yamen every day, and Ruan Xuan would not resist his mother, really It is very likely that he will obey his words and kneel in front of the ancestral tablet without eating or sleeping.

"You explain it clearly, can't you just say that you went to the gambling house to investigate the case?" Xu Yuning suggested.

Ruan Xuan smiled helplessly, "Mother won't listen."

"Then..." Xu Yuning wanted to say more.

Ruan Xuan didn't want to listen any more, and interrupted her, "Go back, the later I go to my mother, the easier it will be for me to be punished."

Also helpless, Xu Yuning could only accept, "Okay."

They parted ways at the door, Xu Yuning went to the room, Ruan Xuan straightened his clothes, and then went to his mother.

Xu Yuning went to the room first, saw Xiaoxiang sleeping on the table, and snapped angrily, "Xiaoxiang!"

"Hmm..." Xiao Xiang rubbed her eyes and said confusedly, "Who are you?"

Realizing that it was hard to recognize her in men's clothes, Xu Yuning sat next to Xiaoxiang and said every word, "I, yes, less, grandma, grandma!"

Xiao Xiang suddenly opened her eyes wide, woke up, and jumped up from the stool, "Young Mistress! Why are you dressed like this! Oh...so why don't you let me serve you in the morning? You don't even know what to wear... Eh , Why are you still covered in ashes, did you fall down again, I said you can't do without me!"

Because Ruan Xuan said that going to Shengxingfang this time was a secret operation, Xu Yuning sent Xiaoxiang away early in the morning, saying that he wanted to dress by himself, and he didn't need anyone to accompany him to fight boxing.It was noon now, and she and Ruan Xuan's investigation was frustrated, so they had no choice but to turn back. In such a short period of time, Xiaoxiang really thought that Xu Yuning had never been out of the house.

Too lazy to talk to Xiao Xiang, Xu Yuning first poured a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and ordered, "Help me get water to wash my face, and then bring me a set of clothes to change."

"Hey."

Xiaoxiang's mouth can never be idle, while tidying up, he talked about what happened at home, "Today, the uncle cook said that there were rumors outside that the young master went to the gambling shop, and he was kicked out of the house because he had no money. The old lady was very upset when she found out. , wait for the young master to come back without eating."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuning was particularly worried, "Will he be fined to kneel all night?"

"Punishment?" Xiaoxiang chuckled, "How is it possible, the young master has never been punished before."

Xu Yuning was a little relieved, "Really?"

"Yes, the old lady loves the young master very much."

Thinking of Ruan Xuan's pale face, Xu Yuning shook his head and muttered, "Then why is she nervous? She's so old and afraid of being scolded by her mother, she's really like a child."

"What did you say?" Xiaoxiang didn't hear clearly, so she leaned over and asked.

Xu Yuning smiled dryly, took Xiaoxiang's wrung towel and wiped his face, "It's nothing."

When the hands were busy, Xiaoxiang's mouth couldn't be idle, and now there was nothing to do, and Xiaoxiang's mouth couldn't be closed, and she started talking, "It's strange, why is the old lady angry? People have also been to the gambling house, and there were also people talking nonsense at that time, but the old lady didn't mind at all, and told the young master something... to clean up."

Xu Yuning interfaced, "The one who cleans up cleans himself?"

"Hmm~"

After hearing what Xiaoxiang said, Xu Yuning also found it very strange that her mother-in-law didn't get angry the first time, and she shouldn't get angry the second time, why Ruan Xuan was so nervous.However, she didn't know her mother-in-law, and felt that Ruan Xuan was justified in being so worried.When Xiaoxiang put the hot food on the table, she still couldn't figure out why, so she shook her head, "It must be because I think too much."

Facts have proved that Xu Yuning still has a sixth sense of women.

That night, there was a startling news in the family.

Ruan Xuan contradicted the old lady and was fined to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet and reflect for a night.

-

As soon as Ruan Xuan entered the door, he saw his mother's back reciting scriptures with her eyes closed, and quickly slowed down, kneeling on the futon beside her and waiting quietly.

"Are you hurt?"

Suddenly, the old lady's voice sounded in the quiet dining hall.

Ruan Xuan replied, "No."

"Have you eaten yet?" the old lady asked again.

Ruan Xuan's answer was also "no", but this time, the old lady didn't knelt still, but stood up tremblingly with a cane.Knowing that the old lady had finished reading the scriptures, she stepped forward to help her, "Slow down."

"eat first."

The old lady winked at Aunt Liu next to her.Aunt Liu responded, and went to serve vegetables as ordered, and at the end she didn't forget to close the door, called away the little girl who was waiting, and cleared the surroundings until only the mother and daughter were left.

Ruan Xuan knew it was time, and his mother wanted to talk about that incident again, but the strange thing was that this time, his mother was not as aggressive as last time, and she was extra patient, so she talked to her about the case first, "The case is solved ?"

"No," Ruan Xuan answered truthfully, "Based on the IOU from the deceased, I suspected that it had something to do with the one-eyed dragon who had disappeared from the casino for many days. I didn't expect to go to the casino to ask, and when they heard the word one-eyed dragon, they called me Driven out."

The old lady chuckled, "It must be related."

"Well, if you follow this line to check, there should be results."

After walking around for a long time, the old lady finally got back to the topic, "Did you go with Xu Yuning?"

"Yes." Ruan Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he answered in a trembling voice, then glanced at his mother's uncertain face, and added a few nice words, "Yun Ning has a good kung fu, last time he beat Catcher Zheng too weak to fight back, Helped me a lot."

With a cold snort of hate, the old lady's dull eyes suddenly widened, showing a trace of sharpness and hatred, "Oh? How did I hear that you were kicked out because of her reckless approach to ask?"

"No!" Ruan Xuan was anxious, "I asked her to ask."

The old lady hit the ground heavily with her cane, gnashing her teeth, "I said, lock her up! The last time I accidentally ate the insect repellent powder, I walked around the gate of hell and still went crazy. This fool is hopeless!"

"No..." Ruan Xuan was in a hurry, wanting his mother not to call Xu Yuning a fool, so he shouted a word, and realized that his voice was high-pitched and his tone was harsh, and the old mother in front of him was a kind person who gave birth to kindness, She couldn't be so rude, so she lowered her voice, "Don't say that about Yuning."

Suddenly throwing away her supporting hand, the old lady said bitterly, "She almost got you into big trouble!"

"Did you say you saw me change my clothes? I made an agreement with her, she won't talk about it." Ruan Xuan comforted his mother.

The old lady didn't believe it, "She was clamoring to go back to her mother's house some time ago, she clearly wanted to tell our secret!"

"How could it be?" Ruan Xuan sighed, "It's because I promised to accompany her to the temple fair but didn't go, that's why Yun Ning lost his temper, just make sense."

Rubbing the round stone on the crutches, the old lady let out a long sigh, "At that time, the magistrate hosted a banquet, and you had to go. Any normal wife would understand this truth. I don't care about your kindness for rushing to the exam, but Xu Yunning is always so disrespectful, I can't just sit idly by."

Ruan Xuan disagreed, "Yunning didn't cause any trouble, why lock her up?"

"The last time you ate insect repellent powder by mistake?" The old lady became excited, "She can't tell what can be eaten and what can't be eaten. What if I poison you next time!"

Going around and talking about this matter again,

Not quite understanding why her mother cared so much about accidental ingestion and was so prepared for a rainy day, Ruan Xuan explained again, "Mother, I told you that Yunning was blessed by God, and his brain was healed."

The old lady snorted coldly, "I can't tell."

The mother was obsessed with obsession, and Ruan Xuan was powerless, "No matter what, I will not lock Yunning in the house like a beast. She is human, and she has her own ideas. It's very pitiful for her to marry me. Why can't you Is she better?"

Without answering, the old lady looked at the ancestral tablet and muttered, "Injustice."

"Mother?" Ruan Xuan called softly.

"Kneel down!" The old lady's thin body straightened suddenly, and shouted.

Ruan Xuan fell to his knees, listening to his mother's hysterical cry.

"I'm doing it for your own good, why don't you understand...why!"

Ruan Xuan bit his lip, his nose was sore, and there was a small voice in his heart calling: Raise her as a man, take the risk of letting her take the number one exam, and be an official whose head will fall off the ground at any time, it's really... for her okay?

She likes beautiful clothes, jewelry, and everything girls like.

But she no longer deserves it.

From now on, will she still live for the "good" of her mother, and even harm Xu Yuning?

"Mother." Ruan Xuan was powerless and didn't want to continue living this kind of life, "Let me decide what will happen in the future."

The old lady froze, staring blankly at her daughter, smiling instead of anger, stretched out her calloused hands to caress her daughter's tender face, "Mother is for your own good, you will understand after thinking about it here overnight."

After finishing speaking, the old lady walked out of the mourning hall step by step.

"Oh." Ruan Xuan sighed, staring at the ancestral spirit tablet in a daze.

I don't know how long I have been kneeling, the flickering candlelight can no longer illuminate the spacious room, Ruan Xuan's legs are sore and numb from kneeling for a long time, and his stomach that has not eaten for a long time has already made small noises, and he feels that the whole person is thin A piece of paper will fall when the wind blows.

Hey.

When the door opened, Ruan Xuan thought it was his mother or Aunt Liu who was in charge, and didn't look back.

"Ruan Xuan?" A soft voice sounded.

Ruan Xuan was taken aback, then turned his head abruptly, and met Xu Yuning's smiling face.

"Husband, here I come!"
