Mrs. Ruan leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes to rest for a long time. When the old woman thought she was about to fall asleep, Mrs. Ruan suddenly opened her eyes and sighed heavily.

She didn't want to do anything like a slap in the face, as it would harm the Ruan family's reputation, but now, this was all she could do.

"The Ruan family looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact it has long since declined. Even though the boss has become the minister, he has no real power."

Mrs. Ruan looked exhausted and lamented that this was a helpless move. The descendants of the Ruan family were ineffective and could only rely on Ruan Pingzhi.

"Ping Zhi has no intention of taking the imperial examination and becoming an official. If he doesn't inherit his father's legacy, why should he go to the countryside to farm? Don't look at what kind of family our Ruan family is!"

No matter how much the Ruan family falls, they will still be a skinny camel, bigger than a horse. The identity of the mistress of the Ruan family must be put on the stage.

Wang was cruel and ruthless, but one thing she appreciated was that Wang always put the interests of the Ruan family first. In this way, there would be no mistakes in all aspects.

The head matron of the Ruan family must think about the family and want to do good for her family all day long. She cannot be the helper of the Ruan family and just occupy that position.

If Ruan Pingzhi hadn't brought Zhang Ruyi back and let the Wang family in, Mrs. Ruan would have had to think about it for a while. Now, at this juncture, she had no other choice.

"But I'm afraid the young lady will feel unhappy if she has a good relationship with Miss Zhang."

As the old woman spoke, she took out a wet cloth and touched the sweat droplets on Mrs. Ruan's forehead.

People who are old and weak tend to sweat a lot. In winter, Mrs. Ruan took too many supplements and her whole body became hot. Before going to bed, she had to ask her grandma to fan herself before she could sleep peacefully.

"What can she do if she is unhappy? When will it be her turn to make the decision in the Ruan family? Even if her mother is alive, a married woman cannot control her family."

Madam Ruan suddenly sat up and calmed down for a moment, thinking that tomorrow the Zhang family would shed blood to recognize their relatives, and Zhang Ruyi wanted to go back, but the Ruan family would not give Zhang Ruyi a chance to continue to visit her.

"Old madam, you said Wang is coming back at this critical moment, so you give her a step up. Does Wang know anything?"

Those who have lived in the back house for decades are basically human beings. The old woman is old, but not confused. After thinking about it for a while, she figured it out.

Otherwise, Mrs. Wang would not have taken advantage of this loophole and put all her things in order, just waiting to be welcomed into Ruan's house through the front door.

Except for the wedding that year, Wang never walked through the front door.

"You just figured it out?"

Mrs. Ruan sneered, not only the Wang family knew that there were no secrets among the high-ranking families in Kyoto. They were almost related to each other. There was no one else’s eyewitness in that house, so if there was any trouble, it would naturally spread.

It's not just the Wang family, the Wang family is smart and cruel, and knows how to add fuel to the flames. The Zhang family is obsessed with Zhang Ruyi's identity, including the Xia family who keeps holding back. Zhang Ruyi's life experience has long been determined to be an adulterer.

When the Wang family returns, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Zhang Ruyi cannot be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family no matter what.

"I'm not an unenlightened person. If Ping Zhi really likes Zhang Ruyi, just keep him in the village and visit him occasionally."

There is no need for a man to embarrass his grandson because of a woman. It will be no longer new after three to five years at most.

However, one must not stay in the Ruan family. As for what Li Haitang thinks, it is not within the scope of Mrs. Ruan's consideration at all.

"Old madam, this old slave just wants to ask the young lady for her opinion. If the young lady recognizes her ancestor and returns to the clan, her identity will be different. She is the king and we are the ministers!"

The old grandma is still very wary of Li Haitang's identity. It can be seen that the young lady is very loyal, otherwise she would not have come to the door in a hurry on the first day of the new year, obviously to recognize her relatives, but in fact she stood up for Zhang Ruyi.

Zhang Ruyi is really lucky to have such a good sister.

"No matter how much she is a king, how can she still deny me as my grandmother?"

Mrs. Ruan snapped the lid of the tea bowl and rubbed her eyebrows with her hands. If it weren't for Li Haitang's identity, who would be polite to her?

Therefore, Mrs. Ruan has taken a step back and promised that as long as Ruan Pingzhi brings Zhang Ruyi to Zhuangzi, she will turn a blind eye.

When people get old, the greatest comfort is that their children and grandchildren will be successful, the Ruan family will be prosperous, and the flowers will bloom. She no longer cares about the rest.

The old grandma kept silent, but she didn't think so in her heart.

Without any family ties, can relying solely on that level of kinship really bring glory to the Ruan family? not necessarily.

After a long silence, the old grandma was about to go out, and suddenly she heard the old lady of the Ruan family saying quietly, "Do you think I will keep the Wang family? It's just a temporary measure."

"It proves that the Xia family was brutally killed by a raped coachman and maid. Maybe it was the Wang family."

The Zhang family has always wanted to get exact information about this matter. The Xia family provided proof and prepared for a confrontation, but the Ruan family would not interfere. How did that person die?

It was very strange to die at this stall. Combined with Mrs. Wang's calm entry into the house, Mrs. Ruan figured it out.

"This is really..."

The old grandma trembled. She was not the most ruthless, only more ruthless. This time, even if Zhang Ruyi was not a bastard, she would still be able to stand firm.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether he is an adulterer or not. What matters is whether the Zhang family believes it or not, and whether the rest of the people believe it or not.

It is no longer important to recognize relatives by shedding blood, because the Zhang family has given up on Zhang Ruyi.

The weather was perfect, but Li Haitang's mood hit rock bottom. When he came out of the main courtyard, there was a maid leading the way. Ruan Pingzhi and Wang were following behind. The group arrived at the house where Ruan lived before his death.

No one has lived in it for about twenty years. Although the yard is often taken care of, it lacks a bit of popularity and looks eerie.

After entering the door, a gloomy air hit my face. The room was dark and there was no light.

"My aunt lived here before she got married."

Ruan Pingzhi sighed, no matter how well-kept the house was, there was mold on the walls, and there were small spots of mildew.

There was a smell of decay in the inner room.

"Cousin, grandma said that you can't live here, but it's obviously not possible. Today, you should stay in the guest house."

Mrs. Wang dusted off the dust with a handkerchief, coughed twice, and her face turned red.

Li Haitang shook his head. She has a home in Kyoto, which is a thousand times better than the Ruan Mansion. Why would she come to live here and make herself unhappy?

Too lazy to deal with Wang, Li Haitang turned around and stared at Ruan Pingzhi, "Cousin, I have something to say to you alone."

Tomorrow, Zhang Zheng found a hundred pairs of related people to test and compare them with blood. In fact, these were meaningless.

Zhang Ruyi is really surrounded by enemies. Li Haitang has the responsibility to protect his good sisters. If Ruan Pingzhi can't stand it, he can just say that no matter how difficult everything is, there is always a way to solve it. She was afraid that Ruan Pingzhi looked firm on the surface, but in the end he defected without saying a word, leaving Ruyi alone and alone. At least it gave Li Haitang a head start and allowed him to be mentally prepared.
