Chapter 349 She Is No Longer Like Herself
Ruan Yan suddenly felt that no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain.
She wanted to escape and didn't want to humiliate herself again.
But could she retreat?
With such a background, did she have dignity?
Ruan Yan's limbs were cold, and she looked dazed as she watched him take out the jade pendant for the child to wear, and then held the child and read her name to the guests. The couple together pointed out relatives and friends and the four directions of heaven and earth to the child, and chanted the recognition text.
Her thoughts were all scattered, and she could only follow everyone and put her hands together to pray and congratulate the child.
The moment Gu Huaizhi looked over, she suddenly became possessed and fled in a hurry.
Without noticing that her abnormality was discovered by Tang Nuan, she looked at the door with a confused face.
"Are you worried?" Zhao Wei tilted his head to look at her thoughtful expression, followed her line of sight, and saw that the door was empty: "Want to go out?"
"No." Tang Nuan picked up a piece of cake and took a bite, and said slowly: "I met Miss Ruan in the front hall today. She was unfamiliar and looked a bit like Wanwan. I had never seen her at a banquet before. Her father returned to Beijing to report on his work not long ago and worked in the Ministry of Personnel's Selection Department."
Her eyes lit up and she thought the glutinous rice cake was delicious. She took another bite and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
"I just saw her face pale, and she ran out in a hurry, as if she was hit, and I felt very strange." Tang Nuan finished the last bite and tilted her head to look at Zhao Wei: "Could it be that she saw that Wanwan looked like her, but was more beautiful than her, and couldn't accept it for a while?"
Her unintentional joke made Zhao Wei take it to heart. He looked solemn, "There have been no new employees in the Ministry of Personnel for nearly two months." Seeing that she was eating so fast, she choked a little, and handed her a glass of warm water: "Gu Huaizhi has been in the Ministry of Personnel for less than a month, and the only person who came today was the Right Assistant Minister."
The Left Assistant Minister offended Gu Huaizhi and set off for Jinzhou today. His wife and daughter came to the banquet, but were blocked and lost face in public.
Tang Nuan finished a glass of water and asked in surprise, "Did Miss Ruan sneak in?" Then he said uncertainly, "She can sneak in in such an occasion, so she must have some skills."
"It's hard to say." Zhao Wei looked up to the left front. Gu Huaizhi was sitting next to Su Wan holding the child. He dipped a little sparrow soup with chopsticks and put it on the child's lips to make the child eat meat.
He lowered his eyes. This morning, Censor Meng impeached a group of officials led by Censor Li. They were all dismissed and imprisoned in the prison and investigated by the Dali Temple.
Such a large-scale mobilization, the well-informed found out the reason at the first time.
Censor Li and Zuo Shilang took the lead in holding a banquet in Cuiyan Tower last night to invite Gu Huaizhi to apologize. It is said that he was forced to give him a woman, and he ended up like this.
It is inevitable that there is a purpose of shaking the mountain and making those who want to put people around him think a little.
Many people had this idea before. Gu Huaizhi was in a high position and had great power. He was a brother to the new emperor and the adopted son of the regent. This development trend was enough to make him change the situation in the court.
Then Su Wan, who married him, suddenly became a high-class man. Her family had already declined, and even if she was a princess, she was just an empty title.
So what if her biological mother was the empress of Xiliang?
If he made the decision for her, he would protect her in the difficult situation of Dingyuan Hou.
Besides, he didn't see it with his own eyes, maybe it was just a rumor?
They all wanted to give their concubines to Gu Huaizhi as concubines, and the two families would become relatives.
Gu Huaizhi's operation temporarily gave up the idea and waited and watched.
Tang Nuan also thought of this, and was so angry that she stuffed another piece of cake into her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging, and she happened to see the maid who came to the table to serve the food, who was the one who took Ruan Yan to the Gongfang before.
She called someone over: "Take someone to look for Miss Ruan. If you find her, come and tell me. I lost something. See if she found it."
The maid automatically guessed that Miss Ruan had stolen Mrs. Zhao's things, and did not dare to neglect it: "I will go now."
"I hope it is a misunderstanding. If she really wants to enter Brother Gu's backyard, it's too shameless!" Tang Nuan was very angry. She pulled the jade pendant on Zhao Wei's waist and said with glaring eyes: "If she has such thoughts, you can marry her to your soldiers... Forget it, this will harm the soldiers."
Zhao Wei's eyes fell on her hand lightly, and the black jade made her hand look as white as cream.
He hooked his fingers on the rope and pulled it, and the black jade jumped out of her palm.
"If Gu Huaizhi can't deal with her, he will be useless in her hands." Zhao Wei said indifferently: "Others will help him deal with this one, and there will be another one. Who can keep an eye on him and clear these women for him?"
Tang Nuan stared at the jade pendant that he had pushed aside. When she heard his words, she couldn't help but look up. Under his sharp sword eyebrows, his eyes were like cold stars, without any emotion.
The light in her eyes seemed to dim, and she lowered her head. The exquisite snacks on the plate instantly lost their appeal.
"I'm meddling in other people's business." Tang Nuan felt a sense of frustration in her heart, and she said back in dissatisfaction: "But I just love to meddle in other people's business, otherwise I wouldn't have the title of Mrs. Zhao Si."
Su Wan is her friend. If someone covets her husband, she must be united against the enemy!
Zhao Wei knew that she misunderstood his meaning, rubbed his eyebrows, and hesitated to speak.
He was not good at explaining.
Just said: "It's up to you."
Tang Nuan felt more and more anxious, like a heavy punch, but it hit cotton.
Forget it, they are just a fake couple.
In another two months, when he goes to the border, they will break up.
"I'm full, let's go for a walk."
Tang Nuan didn't want to stay with Zhao Wei.
She was never a smart person. She yearned for freedom before. As long as she was trapped in Guangyuan Marquis Mansion, she would have to marry according to the arrangement of her elders sooner or later.
Tang Nuan didn't want to marry for the sake of benefits, so she agreed under the temptation of Zhao Wei's food.
After getting married, she felt that this was not a wise move.
Especially, the longer they spent together, the more she became unlike herself.
Whenever he did something unintentionally, she couldn't help but think about the meaning. He treated her very well and fulfilled his responsibilities. It was because of this that she became less and less guarded against him and even became somewhat dependent on him.
It was terrible.
Just as she unconsciously approached him and pulled his jade pendant, he didn't like his close things to be touched by others.
A small move made her clearly know that no matter who was his wife, he would be considerate and attentive.
He was not good to her because of her.
Tang Nuan walked out of the banquet hall, the refreshing wind blew on her face, and her stuffy chest seemed to be relieved a little.
At this time, the maid ran over with a pale face, and when she saw Tang Nuan, she hurriedly said: "Madam Zhao, Miss Ruan is in trouble, she...she is in the wing room..."
She was too panicked and couldn't control her voice, and everyone in the banquet hall heard it.
Gu Huaizhi and Su Wan walked out: "Who is in trouble?"
