Madam Guan's tone became very sharp, as if she had become a completely different person. Ruan Xiaowang looked at her in surprise. She had thought that she had always had a temper, but now she was probably being forced into a corner.

She also did not want to keep playing dumb. He bluntly said, "I agree. Madam, there is no need to persuade me anymore."

She spoke so suddenly that Madam Guan did not react. She asked again uncertainly, "Does young lady agree?"

Ruan Xiaonuan nodded, and said rather helplessly, "Madam's words have enlightened me, I truly did not consider the future. I hope Madam does not mind my stupidity. " Her words seemed to be true.

Madam Guan heaved a sigh of relief, her taut face carried a sense of joy. She pulled her hand and said affectionately: "Just call me Madam, just call me godmother."

She lowered her head, appearing shy, and softly called out, "Foster mother."

It was unknown if the smile on Madam Guan's face was real, after she changed his clothes, he directly pulled her out and told the other people in the hall, "I have quite the good fortune to be with Miss Ruan. I pitied her and have no parents, so I have decided to take her in as my adopted daughter." After pausing for a moment, he continued as if he was joking, "If you bully her in the future, I will definitely refuse."

Although they were still confused, when they heard his words, they immediately asked, "Where did the Madam come up with those words?" As long as she doesn't bully us, that's good enough.

Many of them did not hear what the Noble Consort Guan had said that day, so they did not know the reason. They all thought that she had subdued the heart of the Madam Guan in less than two hours. Furthermore, with how embarrassed Ruan Xiaonuan had made them, how would they dare to take the initiative to provoke her?

If anyone was dissatisfied, it would be only Guan Chen. She said without a care, "Mother, why do you have to recognize her as your adopted daughter? You already have me and your big sister."

After she finished this sentence, someone else seemed to be laughing in a low voice. Rumor has it that the Third Miss of the Prime Minister's Estate is an arrogant and despotic person. Furthermore, compared to the eldest sister who had already become a Noble Consort, she was more like a good-for-nothing who knew nothing. From the looks of it, the rumors were true.

Ruan Xiaonuan kept her head down from beginning to end. No matter how anxious her eyes were, she did not come out to defend herself.

However, Madam Guan's expression was already extremely ugly. When his own daughter was alone, it didn't matter at all. However, in front of outsiders, she was still as brainless as before. This left her with no place to put down her old face. Furthermore, Guan Chen still had an unrepentant look, and was even angrier. She shouted, "This is an adult's matter, why would a child like you butt in?"

Guan Chen's expression instantly changed. Because she was the youngest at home, everyone favored her and no one had ever spoken harsh words to her. It was also the first time for Madam Guan to do so today. Her eyes were red as she said, "Mother, I am your daughter. Why must you side with an outsider?"

It was no wonder that even though the Third Miss s of the Prime Minister's Residence had passed the year of the manual, no one came to propose marriage. With this temper of his, there were indeed no one who dared to marry into the family, Ruan Xiaonuan said in her heart. Her words were the thoughts of the other wives. Although they were all respectful on the surface, but when they mentioned wanting their relatives to marry Guan Chen, they had definitely slipped away easily.

She didn't seem to know what other people thought of her, so she said, "Mom, you just got to know her today. What's so good about her?"

"How dare you!" Madam Guan was completely enraged by her, and said with her loudest voice she had ever heard.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at the situation and felt that she should say something now. Thus, he opened her mouth and said, "Madame, do not take action. There is no need to hurt the hearts of you and the Third Miss for an outsider like me."

When Madam Guan heard this, she was shocked, and immediately said, "Little Warm, I forgot, we are now family. Chen Er is still a child, you don't have to take her words to heart."

It was because she did not want him to be her adopted daughter, but rather because the Madam Guan was in a hurry to acknowledge her. After coming to an understanding on this point, they immediately understood her intentions. She had a deeper understanding of Guan Chen's IQ.

She didn't seem to understand her mother's intentions at all as she continued to play with the temper of a child. She glared at Ruan Xiaonuan and said, "There's no need for you to be so kind."

"Third Miss, what you said is not right. Miss Nuan was kind enough to speak up for you, how could you not recognize her kind heart?" A rather unfamiliar face said.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at her carefully, and secretly took note of this person's appearance. Because her words seemed to have provoked a conflict between her and Guan Chen even more, as if she did not want to see the official's relationship with her.

He never thought that his own daughter would come and mess things up, and the anger in his heart grew. However, in front of so many people, it was not a good idea to teach her a lesson, so he turned to the servant girl beside him and said, "Bring your Young Miss down, so she can have a good rest."

Guan Chen was unresigned and was pulled by the servant. Before she left, she looked at Ruan Xiaonuan as if she was mocking him.

Her innocent reply, didn't really understand where Guan Chen's hostility towards her came from. If she remembered correctly, today was the first time the two of them had met. Aside from the matter of becoming the foster daughter of the Prime Minister, there seemed to be no other matter that had offended her. However, such an incident wasn't worth it for her to be so angry over!

However, what she did not understand was that the majority of the enmity between women were men, and Guan Chen was no exception. Even before she reached the manual, she had already promised Gu Junxiu in her heart. That time when he followed the army back to the capital, he was sitting on a big white horse. He wore a white mask and his whole body was exuding a cold aura.

However, this was the kind of person who would appear frequently in her dreams later on, without even knowing their appearance. It was only after she had met Gu Junxiu's true appearance by chance that she experienced the feeling of her heart palpitating.

From then on, her eyes would only follow him. However, his gaze would always be cold, never lingering on her. Even though she was a Third Miss of the Prime Minister's Estate, she had never said a single word to him.

Knowing that there was an average-looking girl by his side, she went mad with jealousy, but there was nothing she could do. Originally, she had already put it down, but after Ruan Xiaonuan became the adopted daughter of the Prime Minister, the jealousy in her heart burned once again. Furthermore, Madam Guan, who had always doted on her, had actually scolded her in front of them. How could she swallow this mouthful of resentment? Although she was forced to leave the hall, she did not plan to let Ruan Xiaonuan go.
