CH 4.2

The two sisters’ advanced wedding blessing made Ruan Longling blush instantly. She leaned on Ruan Liyun’s shoulder and imagined her future life with her sweetheart.

Under the screen carved with bamboo bones and jade, the three sisters cuddled close to each other, like entwined knots in the forest.

“Third Sister, Fourth Sister…with you and with money, our days will get better and better.” Ruan Liyun muttered faintly.

………………..

The two sisters stood in front of their mansion, waving their hands, until the Feng family’s carriage disappeared. The two sisters turned around and walked home one after another.

Ruan Longling tilted her head and whispered to the younger sister next to her, “The Feng family is a big family, The family education is strict. The second sister has to take care of her bedridden mother-in-law, and she has to deal with a bunch of sisters-in-law and relatives. She is already too busy to take care of herself. In the future, if it is not necessary, don’t go to Feng’s residence to bother her about such trivial matters. ”

Since the business of the Ruan family business had become more and more prosperous, Ruan Longling had been so busy every day, and her personality had also changed, especially in her speech. This was nothing in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of Ruan Yumei, the younger sister, this elder sister had become more cold and ruthless than before. These words were clearly exhortations, but for some reason, Ruan Yumei heard a hint of accusation in them.

Ruan Yumei lowered her head, pursed her lips, and replied in a muffled voice, “I know, Third Sister, I won’t do this again.”

“Sister, it’s ok for today, you never told Mother, right?”

Ruan Yumei shook her head lightly, and said more timidly, “No, I dare not let my mother worry.”

Half of Ruan Liyun’s room was full of children’s toys. There were tiger-headed rattles, pottery ring balls, paper kites, and rabbits—they were all cute and brightly coloured gadgets. Ruan Liyun’s face was a little moved, and she raised her fingertips to stroke them one by one.

Her maid, Cuihu, smiled and said, “It’s no wonder Miss San is so busy, she still remembers Sister Shu’s birthday and prepared so many presents early.”

Ruan Liyun smiled slightly, “She is a girl who especially likes children. Yes, every time she sees Sister Shu, she hugs her and never lets her go. I just hope that after she and Chengji get married, she will have more cute babies…” But suddenly she remembered the matter of her going to the Liu family to collect debts today, and said with a sad voice, “But marrying into someone else’s family is different from being in your own family. Many things can’t be controlled. She is too resolute and stubborn. Today, she offended her husband’s aunt. I’m afraid she will suffer a lot of grievances in the future… ”

“It would be better for the third miss to have a bigger temper so that she wouldn’t be bullied in her husband’s house. But you, second miss, blindly submit to grievances. If this continues, we’ll lose our place in the Feng family soon.” Cuihu persuaded, “Second miss, why don’t we tell everything to the third miss? She has a lot of ideas, if she finds out, she will definitely…”

“No.” Ruan Liyun flatly refused. “The huge Ruan family business is enough for her to be busy, and on the occasion of the opening of the forum in Tianxialou, there are so many guests who come to stay in Loulu, and she will get busier. At this critical moment as the eldest sister, it’s fine if I can’t help, how can I let her worry about my affairs?”

Cuihu still wanted to open her mouth to persuade, but was blocked by Ruan Liyun, who said, “In this case, there is no need to say it in the future.” Ruan Liyun turned her face to look at the street view outside the carriage window, her eyes seemed to extend to the distance again, and with a hint of determination, she said faintly, “It’s no big deal. If it really pushes me into hell, I will die with him.”
