Ruan Xiaonuan tried very hard to look sad, trying to make Ling Wei believe him. But she underestimated her IQ.

"Even if you want to learn culinary arts, I don't need to do these things, right?" Ling Wei already suspected her.

Ruan Xiaonuan sized her up a few times, her face did not show much concern, "If you think so, then I have no choice. However, the kind of person Lin Zian likes, he personally told me before. Since you can't do it, then I can't do anything about it. "

When she had finished, she instructed Doll, "Go and return the whip to Miss Biao."

Ling Wei stared at hshe for a long time, she could see any kind of deception in her eyes, and then said with relief, "Don't mind it, I'll give you the whip, I'll still learn more about chicken soup." After saying that, he left the kitchen as if she was a monster that could eat people.

Until her back figure disappeared, Ruan Xiaonuan laughed so hard she couldn't even straighten her back as she said intermittently, "Aunt Wu, have you guys vented your anger yet?"

The other people in the kitchen also laughed out loud, and only after they had laughed themselves out did they reply, "Miss Ruan is still the best, we have never felt so good before. "In the past, she was the one who relied on her status to bully us servants. Today, she has finally vented her resentment."

"This is only the beginning. It's good that I will definitely make her not want to come to the Black Cloud Villa in the future." Ruan Xiaonuan said affirmatively, as a rough plan formed in her mind.

When she was in Black Cloud Villa, the capital had already been thrown into chaos because of her. It was unknown where the news had leaked out. By now, everyone in the capital knew that she had not gone to recuperate, but had gone missing.

When Gu Junxiu appeared in the Duke Palace, Chen Hai was kneeling on the ground, not moving at all.

"Where did the news come from?" Gu Junxiu asked coldly, his every word containing the chilliness of the outside.

Chen Hai kneeled on the ground and answered without raising his head, "Your subordinate heard it in the market. The first thing I knew was that the origin of the group of beggars was gone without a trace."

"What did the palace say?" Gu Junxiu's hands clenched into fists. He never thought that even after Ruan Ruan left the Duke Palaces, there would still be someone thinking of harming her.

Chen Hai felt chilled all over. After answering everything, he left the hall as if he was running for his life.

Gu Junxiu had already appeared in Tzu Ning Palace with a cold expression. The empress dowager had not smiled at him at all. He asked with a face, "Xiu'er, where is the wangfei now?"

Gu Junxiu's lips moved but he did not say a word. The empress dowager stood up, infuriated. "So everything that's said outside is true?" Princess Hua-Yang is not in the palace? "

He nodded his head and explained, "mother, Ruan Ruan only wants to go out for a walk, he is not like what others said."

"Shut your mouth. I will naturally judge the facts, there is no need for you to defend her." the Empress Mother said angrily.

"She, as an imperial concubine, is actually so jealous. Not only that, she doesn't care about the prestige of the imperial family and leaves the palace by herself. This kind of woman, I will not accept her as her daughter-in-law. " The empress dowager already hated Ruan Xiaonuan to the core and thought that she was the only disgrace to the entire imperial family.

Gu Junxiu knew that the more he explained now, the angrier the empress dowager became. She simply stood there silently, not saying a word.

After who knows how long had passed, the empress dowager chased all the servants out and asked Gu Junxiu, "What exactly is Ruan Xiaonuan's identity? Tell I the truth. "

He was shocked and his expression did not change. He replied calmly, "She is just an ordinary maid. When I was at the Ling Yue border, I saw that she was very close, so I brought her back."

"Xiu'er, you lied to the I for her sake." Her Majesty felt a little heartache.

"What does mother mean by this?" Gu Junxiu pretended to cry and ask.

"She is the ruler of Ling Yue's nation that perished, yet you hid her within the Duke's Mansion. Xiu'er, why are you protecting her like this? " Her Majesty pierced that layer of paper.

Despite the shock in his heart, his face didn't show it at all. He continued to speak unhurriedly, "And from where did mother hear this rumor? If Ruan Ruan is really Ling Yue's monarch, how would he agree to marry me?"

Her Majesty obviously did not believe him, because she knew this son she had grown up with. The bigger the event, the calmer he would be, and now it was the same. Originally, she was only testing him out, but he kept evading. It looks like she couldn't stay any longer, the empress dowager calculated in her heart.

Gu Junxiu did not stay idle either, because Ruan Xiaonuan had already mentioned this to him, but she did not manage to find any clues. Furthermore, he did not do anything about it, so he did not take this matter to heart. From the looks of it, perhaps they really do have someone who knows of your identity and is capable of delivering this information to the Imperial Palace.

However, he did not deliver the news to Gu Qingcheng. It seemed like he was only targeting Ruan Xiaonuan alone. If that was the case, things would be much simpler.

"Xiu'er, this is a letter of rest. Go and find her and give her the letter of rest. The Imperial Family can't accept a wife like this, and they can't afford to lose such a person." No matter how she is outside, in the eyes of outsiders, she is already an unclean woman. This wangfei, no matter what, cannot be taken away. " The empress dowager said resolutely.

After Gu Junxiu received the letter, without any hesitation, it turned into powder in his hand. As if he had sworn an oath, he said, "mother, no matter what happens, I will definitely not divorce my own wife."

"You …" Her Majesty's face was ashen as she pointed at him without saying a word.

Gu Junxiu was worried about her identity and quickly replied, "mother, you don't have to worry. I will find Ruan Ruan and deal with those false rumors. "

"Ah Xiu!" Gu Qingcheng's words stopped him from leaving.

When he saw that the two people inside did not look any better, he asked curiously, "What happened?"

"Ask him yourself." The empress dowager said coldly.

"Calm down mother!" the two of them said at the same time.

The empress dowager looked like she had a headache, as she said to Gu Qingcheng, "Ah Cheng, you better persuade him. As a prince, if he doesn't have anyone, why does he need her? "

Gu Qingcheng had also heard of those rumors. Seeing the Empress Dowager's appearance, she roughly understood what had happened. When he looked at Gu Junxiu, whose expression was just as bad, he smiled bitterly to himself.

If he knew the Tzu Ning Palace was like this, he would rather hold a memorial meeting there than to experience this inhumane feeling of being caught in the middle.
