Real Empress from a Noble Family Chapter 139 - I Let You Leave the Jing City Because of Yelan

Chapter 139 I Let You Leave the Jing City Because of Yelan

The next day, Ruan Qingyan looked at the invitation sent by Jiang Yashuang. He was very surprised, “I’ve been bothering him for the past two years. I can’t believe he asked me out one day.” He suspected, “Can’t he stand it any longer? Is he going to get even with me?”

Dongran covered her mouth and smiled, “I don’t think General Jiang is such a stingy man. He has suffered a lot from you in the past two years, but he never cares about it. Last time he suffered a small loss. How could he be angry?”

“If he weren’t magnanimous, he would not deserve to be my brother-in-law!” Ruan Qingyan didn’t feel that he was bullying others, nor did he feel wronged Jiang Yashuang. He said naturally, “In particular, Yelan is not easy to talk about. If she married a person who is not open-minded enough, she would make trouble less than a month. I already have a sister to remarry. I don’t want my younger sister to be tortured when she gets married.”

Dongran thought that the Commandery Princess Ningyi was not Ruan Ciyi. It was hard to say who would suffer losses if she really quarreled with her husband in the future. However, she knew that in the eyes of Ruan Qingyan, Qiu Yelan was always right, and even if she made a mistake, she could be forgiven. The fault was all the brother-in-law’s fault, and the credit was all his sister’s. Ruan Qingyan’s logic was so overbearing.

So she pursed her lips and smiled, “Do you have an idea about Deng Yi? Do they invite you to go to discuss it?”

“If that’s true, he must have run to take credit first. How could he have thought of telling me?” Ruan Qingyan didn’t believe it, but he was also happy to observe Jiang Yashuang, so he guessed a few words and got up, “Bring the robes that I can go out.”

When he arrived at the pub mentioned in the post, he saw Jiang Tan, the young servant of Jiang Yashuang, waiting at the door. Seeing Ruan Qingyan coming, he hurriedly came up to greet him, “The young master is waiting in the elegant room above.”

“What does he want with me today?” Ruan Qingyan asked as he went upstairs.

Jiang Tan made amends and smiled, “The young master didn’t tell me.”

When he went upstairs, it was Jiang Yashuang who opened the door himself. There was not much s.p.a.ce in the elegant room. Ruan Qingyan took a casual look and found that there was only Jiang Yashuang inside. He obviously planned to let all the subordinates leave and have a secret talk with him.

“Is there any news from Deng Yi and his mother?” Ruan Qingyan was so happy that he let Ruan Yi stay outside and went in by himself.

“Brother Ruan, please.” Although Jiang Yashuang was determined to ask what it meant that Ruan Qingyan was far more concerned about his cousin than the normal cousin, he had not yet decided how to start, so after the guest sat down, he frowned and did not speak for a moment.

Seeing this, Ruan Qingyan misunderstood and asked with a dignified look, “What happened again?”

“Ah?” Jiang Yashuang stayed in a daze before he realized that what Ruan Qingyan said should be the matter that they planned to force Deng Yi and his mother, “That thing is still going on… I asked brother Ruan to come here has nothing to do with that.”

“Then what’s the matter?” Ruan Qingyan looked at him suspiciously, “Is this about my cousin?” The only intersection between the two people was Qiu Yelan.

Jiang Yashuang nodded seriously.

Ruan Qingyan immediately became nervous, “What happened to my cousin?”

“She’s fine.” Jiang Yashuang pondered, “It’s me… I have something to ask you.”

As soon as he heard that nothing had happened to Qiu Yelan, Ruan Qingyan was immediately relieved. His att.i.tude became lazy, “Oh?”

“Is brother Ruan’s concern for Yelan too much?” Jiang Yashuang thought about it again and again, but still worried about Qiu Yelan’s dependence and trust in her cousin, and dared not to fall out with him. He carefully said, “After all, brother Ruan is only her cousin, and there is talk outside that…”

As a result, before he had finished his words, Ruan Qingyan’s face was gloomy, “Outside talk? Why do those indecent people just say a few words and you suspect Yelan? Now that she hasn’t married you, you treat her like this. If she married you, would you divorce her after listening to a few words of gossip?”

Jiang Yashuang hurriedly said, “I don’t mean it! It’s just that she is not lonely anymore that compared to what she used to be and she needed your protection. Now she’s all right. After all, she is 15 years old this year, isn’t she?”

At first she had to rely on you, but now she had me, okay? And she was old enough. It was time for you to keep her distance.

“If you didn’t socialize with her in private, do you think I would be willing to ask my cousin to come and teach her a lesson?” Ruan Qingyan recognized the meaning of his words and seemed to smile rather than smile, “Don’t say what I said was bad. If you were me, would you rest a.s.sured that you would let Yelan interact with you without control because of Jiang’s children’s reputation?”

His brothers did not cheer up. Jiang Yashuang was dragged down innocently, and his chest was stuffy, “I’m not like them…”

“Lies down with dogs must rise up with fleas.” Ruan Qingyan said disdainfully, “I blocked you two years ago. I heard with my own ears what your brother taught you! Who knows whether you will bully my cousin one day?”

“If I had listened to my eighth brother’s messy words, I would have been killed by Yelan.” Jiang Yashuang was secretly dissatisfied and said, “How can I dare to bully Yelan? Yelan has always been reserved, and we just talk when we meet.”

Didn’t treat me like a monster. The truth was that I had been bullied by you. Fortunately, Miss Ruan didn’t come out to see the guests at all, otherwise I would have to please one more person…

Ruan Qingyan sneered and said, “So is it polite for you to meet and talk like this?”

Jiang Yashuang recognized his subtext that you two often saw each other in private. I was a legitimate cousin. Couldn’t I always care about my cousin?

“But we are going to get married.” Jiang Yashuang simply made his words clear, “Yelan also promised to marry me. As soon as the engagement with the Deng Family is broken, we will determine her ident.i.ty. And brother Ruan, you are not only the cousin of Yelan, but also inherited in ident.i.ty. Yelan is old enough. You haven’t kept your distance from Yelan all the time. Even if you feel sorry for your little sister, you have to think about her, don’t you?”

Ruan Qingyan looked at him strangely for a moment and said, “Do you suspect that I like Yelan?”

“I heard that you treated her very well the first time you met Yelan.” Jiang Yashuang did not deny that, “Of course, you show great filial piety to General Ruan, so you will like her. But with all due respect, I can’t see that your kindness to Miss Ruan is better than Yelan.”

This was the biggest reason why Jiang Yashuang suspected that Ruan Qingyan was his potential rival. All kinds of signs showed that Ruan Qingyan must be related to the Ruan family, which could explain why he arranged the funeral for Princess Ruan and loved Qiu Yelan very much.

But Ruan Qingyan’s older sister, Ruan Ciyi, finally came back from Hezhou and was forced to divorce the ruthless Fang Nongyan. Although Ruan Qingyan was also kind and respectful to her, as long as others paid a little attention to him, they could find that he was good to Ruan Ciyi, but he simply spared his heart out to Qiu Yelan.

According to the blood relations.h.i.+p, Ruan Ciyi was closer to him than Qiu Yelan.

If it was said that Ruan Qingyan resented Ruan Ciyi’s mother, Mrs. Tan, who drove his suspected biological mother out of the house, why did he pay money to get the Fang family back to the Jing City at that time? Why did he design a forced divorce between Ruan Ciyi and the Fang family?

In short, Ruan Qingyan’s kindness to Qiu Yelan was really too suspicious.

Although Jiang Yashuang did not believe that Jiang Yadan thought that the brother Ruan and sister Qiu were trying to find an excuse to refuse marriage after they broke off their engagement. He mainly did not believe that Qiu Yelan was such a person. As for whether Ruan Qingyan thought so, he was really not sure.

Although it was said that with the power of the Jiang family, Jiang Yashuang was not afraid to compete with Ruan Qingyan for her, but if Qiu Yelan cared about her cousin, Jiang Yashuang would not know what to do.

At this moment, as soon as he spoke bluntly, he was determined to look at Ruan Qingyan and wait for him to answer.

Only to see Ruan Qingyan meditate for a moment, then he sneered and said, “My older sister is so many years older than me. Many times, I have to ask her for advice. Is it possible that I, as a younger brother, should control the older sister like the younger sister?”

“Brother Ruan means that although you treat Yelan better than an ordinary big brother.” Jiang Yashuang was not satisfied with this euphemism and raised his eyebrows, asking, “But you just treat her like a sister. Don’t you mean anything else?”

“Do you invite me here today because outsiders are talking about it, or because you have doubts in your heart?” Ruan Qingyan didn’t answer, but asking, “If I had other meanings for Yelan, what would you do with Yelan?”

Jiang Yashuang frowned and his voice was a little cold, “I won’t do anything with her, but I’ll ask you to leave the Jing City and never see her again! After all, Yelan just treats you like a brother, doesn’t she? If she was interested in you, why should she promise to marry me?”

“What about the previous question?” Ruan Qingyan turned a deaf ear to his emphasis on her choice between them, and his eyes became sharp, “Do you listen to other people, maybe your family? Do you feel ashamed by the remarks of those people? Or do you regret it?”

“Brother Ruan is thinking too much.” Jiang Yashuang sneered, “If our Jiang family were afraid of the outsiders’ discussion, we wouldn’t become the Jiang family we are today. And now I only hate Dengyi and his mother for being shameless and delaying Yelan’s youth. How could I give up my marriage?”

Ruan Qingyan said silently, “So you’re just here for me? Does Yelan know it?”

Jiang Yashuang frowned imperceptibly, and then said with a little sarcasm, “Brother Ruan, you will not complain to Yelan for the sake of a mere conversation, will you? After all, brother Ruan is old enough, and you are an official in the imperial court, so why are you playing children’s games?”

Aware of his provocative intention, Ruan Qingyan smiled abominably, “A complaint? No, no, no. I just let my cousin know that she was suspected.”

“I suspect you.” Jiang Yashuang did not expect that he could be so shameless, and immediately felt a lot of pressure. He was aware of Qiu Yelan’s temper, and it was not true for her to fight and play tricks in ordinary times. But if he p.i.s.sed her off, just by looking at her att.i.tude towards the Qiu Mengmin and his family. He could see that even if they were flesh and blood relatives, she was very determined to break with them.

This was also the reason why Jiang Yashuang took advantage of her when she was in a good mood, but as soon as Qiu Yelan stopped him, he dared not to continue. He knew that if he really infuriated Qiu Yelan, the promises made between them were impossible.

If Qiu Yelan knew what he was doing today.

Jiang Yashuang didn’t know what his sweetheart would do. It was okay to be beaten and scolded. He was afraid she would take it seriously.

Now, while thinking about how to explain to her in the future, he tried to convince Ruan Qingyan, “It has nothing to do with Yelan. Yelan’s heart is tied to me. Don’t I know it?”

“In that case, why do you invite me to come here?” Ruan Qingyan asked leisurely, “She thinks about you. You think about her. Isn’t there no room for a third person between you? In that case, no matter what I have in mind for Yelan, it is futile. Why do you have to go to so much trouble to talk to me alone? I think you just don’t know, do you?”

Jiang Yashuang gritted his teeth a little bit, “Who will be happy that his future wife is coveted by others?”

Ruan Qingyan said indifferently, “With the appearance of my cousin, there are many people who covet her in the future. Do you drive everyone out of the Jing City? You can make it?”

“I think you are Yelan’s cousin. I just send you out of the Jing City.” Jiang Yashuang felt that his words were tantamount to acquiescing in his interest in Qiu Yelan, and his face was immediately cold, “After all, Yelan has always respected you as if you were his own brother. If you were someone else, I wouldn’t bother to see him today.”

He had a good temper. Did he really think he couldn’t kill people?
