She hurriedly rushed over. Ruan Fang Fei, with no one to help her clean up, still maintained that appearance from yesterday. And since then, she also hasnt eaten anything, her entire person appearing extremely pitiful, softly weeping. Unfortunately, the scar on her face was too unsightly, unable to be covered up. Even if she cried like raindrops on pear blossoms, there still wasnt the least bit of beauty.

As Ruan Fang Fei cried, she secretly peeked at Ruan Rui Zhong, but in the end, seeing him unmoved, his face completely cold, her heart thoroughly froze. Who can tell her, what exactly happened here? Why did this old thing change face this thoroughly?

Ruan Eldest Madam slightly relaxed a breath, Father, what instructions do you have?

Ruan Rui Zhong glanced at her. He knew whose handiwork it was in this courtyard, Not to be repeated. Eldest ones wife, you must remember, for some things, I dont like others acting without permission.

This daughter-in-law will remember. Ruan Eldest Madam hurriedly replied. However, this impasse can be considered cleared. Originally, she felt that this father-in-law was quite amicable, but now felt that he was somewhat terrifying. As expected, it was because he got ruthlessly hurt?

Have her cleaned up, and change her clothes. Afterwards, send her to Zhong Qinwangs place. In the future, Zhong Qinwangs person in life, and Zhong Qinwangs ghost in death, no longer having anything to do with the Ruan family. With that said, he didnt even give Ruan Fang Fei another glance, storming off in a huff.

Ruan Fang Fei forgot her tears, staring wide-eyed in disbelief, and after coming to her senses, immediately chased after, Father, father

Ruan Eldest Madam immediately let someone grab her. Since father-in-law was even able to say these words, it can be seen this lowly spawn was thoroughly done for.

Father, father, dont go, why, why treat me like this? Im your daughter, didnt you say I was the pearl of your palm? How can you be this heartless in just a blink of any eye.

Ruan Eldest Madam coldly sneered. Daughter? Pear of the palm? These words, letting father-in-law hear now, afraid, would just be incomparably mocking? Have her mouth stuffed.

Shortly after Ruan Fang Fei could only let out a stuffy wuu wuu sound.

Ruan Eldest Madam patted her face, Save it, when you reach Zhong Qinwangs place, still need for you to have the strength to handle.

Ruan Fang Feis gaze was practically just like hating that she cant have her eaten alive.

Ruan Eldest Madam however felt it neither hurt nor tickled, leaning closer to her, Want to know why father-in-law is doing this? Ill tell you, because, youre simply not father-in-laws spawn, and dont know which random mans spawn that adulterous mother of yours got pregnant with.

Ruan Fang Feis pupils shrunk, but very quickly calmed down again, and at the same time, no longer struggled either.

Ruan Eldest Madam mockingly smiled, This is believing already? Looks like what kind of person your mother is, you are also very clear of yourself.

She needed to be sent to Zhong Qinwang after all, so the things given to her to wear also werent very inferior. It was nothing more than the last set of clothes, the last few accessories, used on her. Ruan Eldest Madam wont be so stingy as to not give out this bit. One has to know, the dowry originally prepared for her wasnt any less than the Ding Duke Manors only di daughters dowry. Now, it was all spared.

Perhaps it was knowing that she no longer had a place in this family, Ruan Fang Fei was very quiet.

Just, prior to getting on the horse carriage, Ruan Fang Fei suddenly turned her head, looking towards Ruan Eldest Madam, full of malicious intent, I may not be that old dogs child, but perhaps in name, Im actually your daughter.

Ruan Eldest Madam directly shook in anger. This damn lowly spawn.

Ruan Fang Fei smiled very contently, Tell that old thing, things wont be over with just like this. The matter of his head being covered in green, his sons and his wife fooling around, I will definitely let the world all know.

Still not quickly having her mouth stuffed? Even so, Ruan Eldest Madam still felt that they cant just have the person sent away like this, thus ordered the servants to keep an eye on Ruan Fang Fei, while she rushed to go see Ruan Rui Zhong. Of course, she didnt dare to have the original words repeated, just tactfully mentioning. According to her idea, it was directly muting her with poison, so unable to speak, and pricking her hand muscles, so unable to write.

No need. Doing too much, wont that just be making it more conspicuous by covering up. Since Jin Qinwang wants to have her sent to Zhong Qinwang, that side shouldve also been taken care of properly. Jin Qinwang wants to use him, so naturally wont allow for anyone to thoroughly ruin his reputation. Also, if someone really wants to know something, even if she cant speak, and cant write, there were still those that knew how to read lips in the world.

Since he said it like this, even if Ruan Eldest Madam felt it was inappropriate, she still could only do as told.

Ruan Rui Zhong also didnt rush to Le Cheng Emperors side for morning roll call. The matter of the flooding in the south, even without him, it will most likely still be fine. As such, it was better to just use this time to properly recuperate his body. His body was an asset. He cant just wait until after returning to the capital, and let Le Cheng Emperor really have him fired.

Although Li Hong Yuan held his fatal weakness, Ruan Rui Zhong was actually at peace inside. At least, he was very clear of what he needed to do, no longer needing to divide his attention and worry over needless matters.

However, there was still one more thing. He had his sons all dragged before him. Right now, he also didnt need his old face anymore, directly having the words stated clearly with them. Regardless of whether or not they were involved with that lowly woman, all have the thoughts severed. This time, he can not look into, and in the future, obediently handle their work and live out their days, not allowed to take in another concubine. If violated, first its a beating with the ancestors disciplinary rod, then its directly expelled from the clan, leaving with nothing. Regardless of who, there will be no exceptions. Scram!

No matter how old they were, and having sat on what position, facing the thundering rage of their old man, they were still just like a bunch of quails, withdrawing their heads. Afterwards, they swiftly got lost, standing outside the door, looking to one another, not saying a single word, before parting ways.

Thus, while Ruan Rui Zhong was peacefully recuperating his health, Le Cheng Emperor and the others were busy handling affairs. As the memorandums were submitted up one after another, one could tell, the flooding this time most likely will happen, and perhaps will be even more serious than anticipated.

However, because he still had an understanding inside, Le Cheng Emperor wasnt in a panic, methodically arranging decrees to be issued to the local officials.

According to Le Cheng Emperors words, this time, Luo Pei Shan claimed the biggest credit. And Luo Pei Shan, aside from due to having Li Hong Yuan helping in secret, it was further because he already for the most part had all of Qi Yuans officials thoroughly understood from top to bottom. And not just through those files from the Ministry of Appointments, but also from the secret files Jin Qinwang separately sent him. Which ones of the local officials can be put in an important position, even if not a hundred percent accurate, it was still seventy to eighty percent accurate. As long as these people all take their place, for the most part, there wont be any big mishap.

And what was the most delightful was that quite a few of these people really were each with their own standing.

Le Cheng Emperor felt it was brilliant, and Rui Qinwang, Gong Qinwang, and such people, after discovering that there were their own people among them, also secretly rejoiced. Even the Ding Duke wrote a letter and ordered someone to send back to the capital, presenting it to the Empress, seeing if she can do something in the capital.

However, unbeknownst to them, these people were nothing more than people that Li Hong Yuan had meticulously arranged a year or two, or even three to four years ago.

After methodically taking care of these matters, the people that had left for the western borders also sent back news. The matter for the most part have already been investigated. All sides have discussed the countermeasures and already for the most part produced results. And this years top three imperial exam candidates, as well as Scribe Sun, all performed rather beautifully, and all had future potential. The ninth wangye was also humble, and attended to things personally. These were all Qi Yuans good fortune.

Le Cheng Emperors mood greatly improved.
