Chapter 54： Rong Yeon who appeared again

Chapter 54 Rong Yan reappeared

「But your little daughter is even more delicate and expensive than us!」

When Ruan Youqing looked over, he saw a woman in a goose-yellow gauze dress raising her eyebrows provocatively at her.

That woman was Liu Rou'er who had stumbling her the first time she entered the palace.

Afterwards, Ruan Youqing also saw Rong Yan who was standing behind her silently.

Rong Yan...is here too?

Ruan Youqing couldn't help but sneered in his heart, this Rong Yan really became more courageous with each battle.

Mu Fei also looked up at the other party coldly at this time, then narrowed her beautiful eyes and smiled:

"This little girl, it doesn't matter if my family's Youqing is weak, our whole family can protect her from any harm. You... you should worry about yourself, otherwise you will be prepared to use your little mouth to deal with those who only know how to use force. Is it a rough person?"

Liu Rouer blushed, and bit her lower lip forcefully: "But we have been staying in the capital, how could we encounter such a situation!"

Mu Fei continued to smile lightly, but there was more meaning in his eyes: "Little girl, don't say too much about some things. Otherwise, if you are too cute, I want to take you away~"

In the end, she was obviously threatening in her words.

Liu Rou'er backed away in horror, her face was also flushed.

Rong Yan, who had been lowering her head, finally raised her head, and looked at Ruan Youqing with deep meaning.

Ruan Youqing naturally met her gaze, but when Rong Yan saw that Ruan Youqing was also looking at her, she hurriedly turned her head away. But Ruan Youqing smiled lightly.

Rong Yan came out today at the risk of being ridiculed by everyone...

What does she want to do?

The queen saw that Liu Rou'er was no match for Mu Fei, so she smiled and said, "Mu Fei, don't scare the child. His mother may not be willing to let you take the child to Changzhou City to suffer."

Mrs. Liu, the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was also Liu Rouer's biological mother, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke lukewarmly: "What the empress said is very true, that Changzhou city is very capable. go."

Mu Fei glanced lazily at this lady who seemed very polite, and replied seriously: "Changzhou is really very popular. This lady is so self-aware, it really makes Mu Fei sigh."

"You..." Mrs. Liu's almond eyes widened.

She was just being courteous, but the other party used her strength to call her back!

The queen saw that Mu Fei had a clear mind, sharp teeth, and anyone's cynicism could be easily dismissed by her, so she laughed and continued:

"Alright, alright, now that everyone is here, the dinner party can begin. Before it starts, I would like to say a few words. This banquet...in fact, Yan'er begged me to hold it." At this point, the queen deliberately Pausing for a moment, to pay attention to the reactions of everyone in the hall. Sure enough, the expressions of some ladies and ladies were very complicated and exciting.

After all, during this period of time, the matter of Miss Rong was spreading in the capital.

Although the Rong family has come out to explain, everyone can only tacitly believe it and stop discussing it.

But in private... still say a few words.

After taking a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, the queen waved to Rong Yan, motioning for her to come to her side, and then continued: "Have you heard that there is a famine in Jingbian?"

Ruan Youqing raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this.

In the past few days, she only took Ruan Youning to play around, but she really didn't notice these things.

It's just that in the previous life... She actually participated in it.

In order to gain a good reputation for Li Yi, she deliberately used his name to donate food for disaster relief.

In this life... Rong Yan, who has been staying in the mansion to recharge her batteries, got the first chance.

But it doesn't matter, she wants to see how Rong Yan regains her good reputation through disaster relief.

After receiving everyone's surprised looks, the queen pushed Rong Yan in front of everyone, and said softly, "Yan'er, tell me~"

Rong Yan nodded shyly, and after looking at the crowd in embarrassment, she slowly opened her mouth:

"Ladies and sisters, today... is actually..."Hongmen Banquet"."

"what!"

Seeing the shock on everyone's faces, Rong Yan raised a playful smile and continued:

"This time, Yan'er specially invited the empress to entertain the most kind and intelligent people in the capital. It's not... just eating. The real purpose of this banquet... is actually that Yan'er heard that there was a famine in Jingbian because of locusts. The people are miserable, even to the point of eating the roots and bark of trees. Yan'er thought... Can we donate some silver to buy some food for them in the capital? Of course, we may buy more food. It’s inconvenient, when the time comes, the money raised will be distributed directly to the local officials, and they will buy food and distribute it to the people. I don’t know... what do you think?”

「Donate money for disaster relief?」

"This is a good thing! We are happy to participate in this kind of Hongmen banquet!"

"Yes, yes, yes! If my master finds out, he might even praise me when he goes back!"

Everyone began to talk about it, and Rong Yan narrowed her eyes proudly when she saw this.

Ruan Youqing bent his lips and smiled, looking at Rong Yan with a hint of sarcasm.

She thought that Rong Yan had opened her mind.

But...Donate money to let local officials buy food? Miss Rong, who is well-clothed and well-fed, thinks of donating money for disaster relief a little too easily.

Let’s not talk about where to buy food at a reasonable price. It is a question of whether the money will be deducted when it is sent to some local officials.

Perhaps Ruan Youqing's sarcasm in eyes was too strong for Rong Yan to feel, she gritted her teeth, and then suddenly smiled softly: "As Yan'er's good sister, Sister Ruan will definitely set an example and donate first, right?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Ruan Youqing.

this is…

Push her out?

Ruan Youqing coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Sister Rong is so kind-hearted, and Youqing really admires it. It's just...it's not so easy to do this."

"What? Sister Ruan doesn't want to donate?" Rong Yan walked down from the queen and approached Ruan Youqing step by step.

Because of Rong Yan's intentional guidance, someone raised his voice and said, "The mansion of the mighty General Ruan, can't you get a few hundred taels? Or... the Ruan family is used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, so they feel that the people in Jingbian are alive and well." Is it right to starve to death?"

This can be said to be very ironic.

Mu Fei and Ruan Youning have already changed their faces and looked at the speaker.

Ruan Youqing calmly held back the mother and elder sister who wanted to reason with others, and said to Rong Yan with red eyes: "Sister Rong thinks about You Qing like this, it really makes You Qing sad. You Qing's words are still Not finished..."

Rong Yan pretended to be surprised: "What? What does my sister think about this matter?"

Ruan Youqing continued: "Why does my sister want us to donate silver... instead of directly donating some food?"

Rong Yan listened, and snorted coldly: "Sister Ruan thinks this is too simple? People in Jingbian need more than a little food. Do you think that transporting food does not require manpower and material resources?"

"But..." Ruan Youqing bit her lower lip, and said with some trepidation:

"But Sister Rong, how can you be sure that the silver we donated will reach the local officials exactly? And those local officials...can they really use the silver to buy food? And...even if the money is purchased Food, how can you be sure that the food can really be delivered to the hands of every common people?"

"this…"

Ruan Youqing's three repeated questions made Rong Yan completely stunned. She really didn't expect to donate a silver tael, and so many things could be pulled out.

After hearing this, the other ladies also became serious.

They know very well how some officials are.

Since they choose to donate silver taels, they also think for the common people, so naturally they hope that the donated silver taels can really help the hungry people.

Seeing that Rong Yan was choking, Ruan Youqing continued to speak softly:

"Also, in case someone spreads a rumor that Elder Sister Rong has embezzled the money..."

Easily, Rong Yan was pushed to the forefront by Ruan Youqing.
