Ruan Xiaonuan brought Mo Yan and Zi Juan and left the Duke Palace without even looking back. Looking at the door that was gradually getting farther and farther away, she felt her heart ache.

She thought that Gu Junxiu would be different, but it turns out that he was the same as the other men here, he still wanted to have three wives and four concubines. As for the love she yearned for, it might not be found in this era.

"Princess, are we going back to the Prime Minister's Estate like this?" Mo Yan had also woken up, her face had already been applied with ice, and he looked much better, able to speak fluently.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked out of the window and replied without turning her head, "Don't call me Royal Consort in the future. Just call me the same as before."

When Madam Guan saw them appear all of a sudden, she was so shocked that her mouth couldn't even close. After a long while, he asked, "Xiao Wen, why did you suddenly come back?"

"Mother, I'll be back for a few days. Are you going to chase me away?" Ruan Xiaonuan said very easily.

Madam Guan could immediately tell that something was wrong between her and Gu Junxiu, but now was not the time to ask. So she smiled and said, "How could that be? Coincidentally, I have been planning to meet with Chen Er for the next few days. With you by my side, I can give you some advice. "

"Where's Third Sister?" Why didn't I see her? " Ruan Xiaonuan was very curious about how Guan Chen would change after this period of time.

Just as she finished speaking, a refined beauty walked in from outside. She paid her respects to the Madam Guan at first, and then said to Ruan Xiaonuan, "Fourth Sister, you're back."

His voice was neither fast nor slow, and when compared to his casual attitude from before, it was as though he was a completely different person.

"Indeed, to be separated for three days means to have a whole new level of respect for others." Ruan Xiaonuan clicked her tongue in wonder.

Guan Chen covered her mouth and laughed, admonishing her, "I was previously ignorant, why did Fourth Sister bring up those things?"

For some reason, when Ruan Xiaonuan saw that she had the exact same actions as the other girls from noble families, goosebumps started to rise all over her arms.

"You guys continue chatting, I'll go and see how the lunch is going." Seeing that they were happily chatting with each other, the Madam Guan left them some space and found an excuse to leave.

Once she left, Guan Chen immediately revealed her true nature. She quickly became unsettled and asked sloppily, "Why did you return to the Prime Minister's Estate? Did someone bully you from the Prince's Estate?"

Ruan Xiaonuan opened her eyes wide, extremely curious as to how she had done it.

"Keep your mouth shut. This is something that I've only cultivated in the past two months. In order to not disappoint mother, I can only pretend to be a lady from a noble family." Guan Chen said loudly.

She now looked much more pleasing to the eye. Although her movements were the same as before, they were much more comfortable. It seemed that she had really changed. Ruan Xiaonuan thought.

"I just heard from my foster mother that he's going to arrange a marriage for you. How is it? Do you have anyone you like? " She wanted to tease him.

"I'm notorious for my infamy. Any young master who dares to propose marriage is afraid of being beaten to death by me. They haven't even been able to declare their injustice yet." Guan Chen said as he was eating a pastry in his mouth.

"You can't put it like that either. Who wouldn't be afraid of death and fall for you?" Ruan Xiaonuan was purely watching the show.

"I haven't said a word about my business yet, so why did you suddenly come back? "According to the love the prince has for you, coupled with your methods, will there still be anyone who would dare to bully you?" Guan Chen said with lingering fear, wasn't she the one who rolled around in her place?

Ruan Xiaonuan hesitated for a long time before saying, "He wants to marry the concubine."

"What?" It's only been a month and the Prince has already changed his mind? " Her voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone else in the room.

"Yeah, the man you liked before was actually just a scum." Ruan Xiaonuan said faintly.

"That was in the past. I don't have those thoughts for the prince anymore." Guan Chen embarrassedly touched the back of her head.

"I feel that before we get married, Prince doesn't seem to be faking it. Do you have any misunderstandings with me? Should we go and ask?" She suggested in a low voice.

"How could it be wrong? He admitted it himself." I don't want to share my husband with other women anyway. " Ruan Xiaonuan said firmly.

But who knew that when Guan Chen heard this, it was as if she had found a good friend. She excitedly pulled her hand and said, "I thought that I was the only one with this kind of thought, I didn't think that you would also think this way. Right, why can a man have four wives, and we are not allowed to resist. In any case, if my future husband dares to take a concubine, I'll beat him to death. "

When Madam Guan entered, he only heard her last sentence. Her expression changed greatly as she said loudly, "Chen Er, shut up. If your father were to hear these words of yours, it would be another easy punishment."

Guan Chen acted like it was a conditioned reflex, and quickly returned back to her previous calm demeanor, saying softly, "Mother said that daughter knows her wrongs."

If it were not for her taking advantage of the fact that Madam Guan was facing her and unceasingly making faces at Ruan Xiaonuan, she really wouldn't have any flaws.

Ruan Xiaonuan forced herself not to laugh. The pain she felt in her heart at the Duke Palace had dissipated by a lot.

"Xiao Wen, don't listen to Chen Er's nonsense. After a woman marries, she would bear the responsibility of opening up a branch for her husband. Even if she was unwilling, she couldn't be impatient. If you keep doing this, your husband will get tired of you sooner or later. " Madam Guan said as an experienced person.

Guan Chen, who was at the side, rolled her eyes. Ruan Xiaonuan also lowered her head, looking like her left ear was entering her right ear.

She could guess that the two of them were not listening, so she raised her voice and said, "You are still young, and your looks are still around, so you still have the power to use your temper. But when the time comes, no matter how unwilling you are, you can only watch as they carry the other women into the mansion one by one."

Ruan Xiaonuan felt that she was no longer lecturing, but expressing her sorrows. She couldn't help but ask, "Don't tell me that when foster mother sees those women in the mansion, he won't get angry? And the children they gave birth to, they're not your own, but because of the reputation of a virtuous woman, treat the children you don't like as if they were your own. "

Her words stabbed right into Madam Guan's heart. She didn't like those young and pretty aunties of the House of Prime Minister at all, nor those children who called her mother every day. But all the women had come in this way, and she seemed used to it. Therefore, she quickly suppressed the waves in her heart and said in an elder's voice, "Little Warm, no matter what you're thinking right now, you have to remember what I've said today."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Guan Chen and said, "Chen Er, you must also remember this, those little thoughts of yours.
