Chapter 347 She should fight for herself
It was the first time that Ruan Yan was so close to him, and she felt very nervous, but she couldn't help but feel shy like a daughter, with a pair of apricot-like eyes full of love.
She wanted to get closer to him and how she wanted to let him take her away.
When she was a few steps away from him, he only glanced at her briefly, and she felt a chill, warning herself not to lose her sense of proportion, otherwise not only would she not be able to enter his backyard, but she would also lose her life.
Everything that happened after that was just as she expected. While she was scared, she was even more attracted by his charm.
Ruan Yan began to feel envious, even jealous that Mrs. Gu, whom she had never met before, was so respected and loved by him.
She bit her lower lip, looked at Li Yushi who had fainted, and then thought of Zuo Shilang whose expression suddenly changed, and became thoughtful.
People from Li Yushi's mansion picked him up.
Ruan Yan turned around and looked at the rows of red lanterns hanging on the eaves of the green smoke building. They were like girls in the building, blooming to their heart's content, and then falling into desolation when they burned out.
The fingers are pinched tightly into the palm, human desire is terrible, once it is released from the cage, all reason will be counterattacked.
She had no delusions, but she got a chance. Although she failed, her desire grew like a vine, tightly binding her in it. She could no longer struggle out, so she had to let herself sink.
Ruan Yan took a deep breath and stepped into Cuiyan Tower.
Mother Wu from Cuiyan Tower saw her coming in, she frowned and said, "Ruan Yan, I gave you a chance. If you don't seize it today, you will have to pick up guests tomorrow."
Ruan Yan's face turned pale, and her gentle tone revealed a trace of begging: "Mother Wu, please give me another month of grace. If I can't catch the noble man again, I will listen to your words and accept the guests."
Listening to her soft voice, Mother Wu felt like her bones were going numb. Seeing her pitiful appearance with tears in her eyes, she began to make calculations in her heart.
For a man like Gu Huaizhi, the backyard is clean and there is no other woman except the wife that Ming Media is marrying.
My wife has been pregnant for ten months and is still in confinement.
There is no such thing as a man who is in love with women.
If Ruan Yan really succeeds, it will be of great benefit to her.
"Okay, I'll give you one more month of grace." Mother Wu's eyes rolled on her face, and she frowned and said, "Master Li picked you today because you look similar to Mrs. Gu. Master Gu and Mrs. Gu are in love with each other. Shen, you should work more on this face."
Ruan Yan heard the meaning of Wu's mother's words, which was to imitate Su Wan.
She saluted gracefully: "Thank you, Mother Wu, for your guidance."
Mother Wu gave her a booklet.
Ruan Yan took it and saw a rush of warmth on the book cover's cheeks, and stuffed it into her sleeves in panic.
She had no other choice but to seize this opportunity tightly.
Even... even death is still better than a pair of jade arms being pillowed by thousands of people.
"Thin-skinned will never accomplish anything." Mother Wu's eyes became dim, and she carefully took out an invitation for the Gu family's full moon ceremony and gave it to her: "Ruan Yan, this is something I spent a lot of effort to get. I hope you can use it to your best advantage." It should be worthy of the opportunity I gave you.”

When Gu Huaizhi returned to the house, the child had already gone to bed, and Su Wan happened to be sitting on the soft couch wearing a thin shirt and drinking soup.
"What kind of soup did you drink today?" Gu Huaizhi came over to take a look. The soup bowl Su Wan was holding contained pig's trotters and peanut kernels: "Eating pig's trotters so late makes my stomach tired. I brought squab soup. It tastes good." Not bad, try it.”
Gu Huaizhi placed the food box on the table, took out a cup of pigeon soup and placed it in front of Su Wan. Seeing that she did not move, she frowned and stared at him.
"Can't drink?"
Su Wan didn't say anything. She grabbed his sleeve and pulled him towards her. She leaned over him and smelled it. There was a light fragrance of powder.
"Where have you been today?" Su Wan pointed to a cup of pigeon soup and asked with a straight face, "Have a meal and a woman to wait on you?"
Gu Huaizhi was so worried that he had been wronged and called her truthfully: "Madam, this is Li Yushi's crooked move. I didn't let other women get close to the banquet held in Cuiyan Tower."
"You were a civil servant before, and no one wanted to win over you. Now that you are in a high position and are young and promising, I'm afraid many people will pounce on you and crowd into your backyard." Su Wan believed that he had not touched you. Other women, but thinking about someone giving him a woman while she was in confinement in the house, he felt very unhappy: "I told you before that I will not share the same husband with other women, you can see for yourself manage."
"Wanwan, I have a heavy workload now, and I don't have enough time to spend with you and the children every day. How can I have the energy to provoke other women?" Gu Huaizhi picked up a cup of pigeon soup, spooned a spoonful of it to her mouth: "Tomorrow, I will ask Yushi Meng to read a copy of Yushi Li and remove him from his post."
Only then did Su Wan open her mouth and take a sip of the soup.
Gu Huaizhi slowly fed her the soup, took out a few jade plaques from his sleeves, and placed them in front of her: "Li Yushi was planning a game today and brought some wealthy businessmen to donate money to the relief society. Because... ... In order to make amends, they gave me twice as much silver and went to the bank to collect the money with the jade card."
Su Wan's anger was gone. She took a few jade plaques and looked at them, her eyes shining brightly: "They have sacrificed their money."
Gu Huaizhi said "Hmm" and said calmly: "Forget it about these wealthy businessmen, the other officials must be investigated strictly."
If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows.
He specializes in doing crooked things, so his hands may not be clean.
"Keep this jade token away. If they really commit crimes, confiscate the money and donate it to the relief society after clearing the road." Su Wan is not an ignorant person, and said in a deep voice: "You should also check those wealthy businessmen. , The foundation is clean, I have to cooperate with them and never let them suffer. "
Gu Huaizhi laughed and said, "You want to tie them into a pirate ship?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is the pirate ship?" Su Wan pinched his waist and said angrily: "I haven't settled the score with you yet! You go to sleep in the study tonight, and you are not allowed to sleep with me or my daughter!"
Gu Huaizhi was kicked out.
"Bang——"
The door closed in front of him.
"..."
Gu Huaizhi looked at the cold moon in the sky, and felt that the sky was about to enter summer, and there was a faint chill of late spring.
Their minds seem to be clearer, and their punishment is too light.
——
Early the next morning.
Su Wan dressed Gu Jiaojiao in a bright red dress embroidered with the word "Fu", and put a bracelet on her wrist and a longevity lock around her neck.
For the first time, Gu Huaizhi did not circle around the child. There were several jade pendants placed on the table. He was carefully selecting them. He would wear them for Gu Jiaojiao during the ceremony later.
He asked people to carefully carve each piece and put it in the national temple for consecration. It was difficult to choose.
Su Wan came over and chose a jade pendant with only Gu Jiaojiao's name engraved on it: "That's it. If we keep going, all the guests will be here."
Gu Huaizhi took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. He couldn't find anything wrong with it and put it into his sleeve with satisfaction: "I will go to receive the guests first. You and the child are waiting here."
"When your father and mother are here later, you can just invite them here." Su Wan arranged his robes.
Gu Huaizhi responded and went to the front hall.
Many guests have come to the house, and they are all sitting in the front hall.
Ruan Yan was sitting in the corner, looking at the door absentmindedly. Suddenly she saw the man coming against the light, and her heart beat rapidly.
