Looking at Ruan Yunluo's indifferent look, Xiao Chongjing felt inexplicably awkward.

He had often had this feeling recently, feeling that he was not her husband but an actor on the stage.

Because he was just an actor, she was indifferent to everything about him.

It’s okay for him not to spend the night in Suifeng Garden, it’s okay for him to be close to Yin Xiaorou, it’s okay for Yin Xiaorou to leave, it’s okay for Yin Xiaorou to come back, it’s okay for Yin Xiaorou to serve him tea, and it’s okay for Yin Xiaorou to be beaten.

She was neither happy nor sad about these things. She was like an indifferent spectator under the stage, and people always seemed to have nowhere to hide when they saw her.

This feeling made Xiao Chongjing disgusted.

So he sneered at Ruan Yunluo and asked, "Have you had enough of the show?"

"Watch a play?" Ruan Yunluo was startled. "What play?"

"What kind of show are you watching!" Seeing that she was still playing dumb, Xiao Chongjing got angry, "Are you deaf or blind? Xiao Qintang was making such a fuss just now, and you didn't see it while you were sitting here?"

"I saw it."

"Why don't you care when you see it!"

"I took care of it." Ruan Yunluo looked innocent. "I just tried to smooth things over, but they didn't listen. What can I do? I can't go over and make a scene, can I?"

"Why can't you!"

Xiao Zhongjing was angry, "I can control them, why can't you, the mistress?"

"Then... maybe I don't have the ability." Ruan Yunluo said in a very bad way: "Otherwise I wouldn't have handed over the housekeeper's power to you."

"you……"

Xiao Chongjing was very upset.

At this time, a maid ran in from outside with a happy look on her face.

"Madam! The imperial edict for the imperial decree has arrived!"

"is it?"

Ruan Yunluo was delighted.

She ignored Xiao Chongjing, stood up, and hurried to the front yard with Nanny Wan and knelt down.

Xiao Chongjing and his group also rushed over and knelt down.

After Eunuch Fu finished reading the imperial edict, Ruan Yunluo thanked the emperor for his grace, then finally accepted the bestowed robe and stood up.

She carefully handed the bestowed clothes to Nanny Wan. Before she had time to take a look at the gold and silver land deeds bestowed by the emperor, she immediately handed the prepared gold ingots to Eunuch Fu.

Eunuch Fu accepted it quietly, congratulated Ruan Yunluo first, and then glanced at Yin Xiaorou who was kneeling beside him.

Seeing that she had tea stains on her body and her face was red and swollen, he frowned and looked at Ruan Yunluo meaningfully, "Madam, please forgive her when you can."

"Father-in-law misunderstood."

Ruan Yunluo explained helplessly in a low voice: "It was Qin Tang... Because of the fact that Miss Xiaorou was going to come in, the old lady fainted in anger and has not woken up yet. Qin Tang was also anxious. She didn't know Miss Xiaorou's identity, so... But the general has already taught her a lesson. Don't worry, the general is here and will not let her suffer any grievances."

"That's good."

Eunuch Fu smiled and nodded.

He glanced at Xiao Qintang's state again, and seeing her glaring at Yin Xiaorou with grievance, he knew that Ruan Yunluo was not lying. So he turned around and gave Xiao Chongjing a few more instructions, and then he said goodbye and left without saying anything more.

He asked Nanny Wan to put the reward into his private treasury, and Ruan Yunluo took the imperial edict and left under the fearful and envious gazes of everyone.

"My sister-in-law is really amazing. She managed to get the imperial edict without making any noise."

Looking at Ruan Yunluo's back, Xiao Qintang was filled with envy.

Thinking that not only would her status not be humiliated in the future, but she would also be able to eat imperial food and receive a salary like her mother, Xiao Qintang secretly made up her mind that she must also become an imperial minister in the future!

"It's just an imperial decree, what's so great about it." Yin Xiaorou muttered sourly. "You really haven't seen the world."

"How dare you, a concubine, say such things?" Xiao Qintang chuckled. "Don't say the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. For someone like you, what kind of worldly experience have you seen? Even if you have seen it, it's just a glimpse. You have no right to fight for it."

"Hmph, dogs look down on people."

Yin Xiaorou was sulking.

She couldn't understand how a princess like herself could have fallen to such a state.

"You are the one with the dog eyes!"

Xiao Qintang was not convinced by being scolded and was about to refute, but was interrupted by Xiao Chongjing helplessly.

"That's enough for the two of you."

Xiao Chongjing stopped the quarrel between the two people in annoyance, glanced coldly in the direction where Ruan Yunluo left, turned around and left.

"General..." Yin Xiaorou was thinking about the wedding night tonight, so she hurriedly followed him, leaving Xiao Qintang alone, jumping in anger.

……

At night, red candles flickered in the Longyan Pavilion.

Yin Xiaorou wore a light red dress which was rare for her. There was a red plum blossom at the corner of her eye. She walked towards Xiao Chongjing with a charming look.

She raised her hands and hooked them around Xiao Chongjing's neck, looking at him with misty eyes, wanting to say something but not being able to, and said with both grievance and joy, "General..."

"Shh-"

Xiao Chongjing raised his finger and tapped her cherry-like lips lovingly, "Call me husband."

Yin Xiaorou nodded, her cheeks instantly flushed, "Husband..."

"Eh."

Xiao Chongjing admired the shyness of the person in front of him and picked her up with a smile.

It was not until late at night that the two of them took a shower and finally rested.

"Husband,"

Taking advantage of Xiao Chongjing's good mood, Yin Xiaorou rested her head on his arm and pouted, "Can you talk to Miss San and ask her to stop targeting me? If this continues, how can we live in peace?"

"Feeling wronged?"

Xiao Chongjing lowered his eyes, smiled and pinched the tip of her ear.

"I'm not wronged." Yin Xiaorou pinched his fingers and shook her head. "But it's not a solution if she keeps doing this."

"Of course I understand." Xiao Chongjing sighed helplessly, "But you know Qin Tang's temper. The more I say something about her, the more she will target you. If you really make her angry, it will not be good for anyone."

"Why should we provoke her?" Yin Xiaorou turned over and hugged Xiao Zhongjing's waist, looking at him puzzledly with her chin raised, "Wouldn't it be enough to make her not take care of targeting us?"

"Oh?" Xiao Chongjing smiled and scratched Yin Xiaorou's nose. "Do you have a solution?"

"Yeah." Yin Xiaorou nodded and looked at Xiao Chongjing, blinking slyly, "Husband, considering Third Sister's age, isn't it time for us to worry about her lifelong affairs?"

"you mean……?"

"I mean don't delay Third Sister. Even though we love her and want to keep her for two years, we should prepare a dowry for her and look for a good family. Otherwise, how can we find a good family in such a hurry?"

"I haven't thought about this..." Xiao Chongjing thought for a moment and nodded, "You make sense. But we have to wait until mother's health gets better."

"But……"

Yin Xiaorou wished that Xiao Qintang would get married tomorrow, so how could she wait any longer?

She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly Ruan Yunluo's glorious figure appeared in her mind. So she calmed down and said, "But mother has been staying in Puyu Mountain for many years, and may not be familiar with the things in the capital. I think it's better to let Madam handle this matter. She is kind and has just received the imperial edict, so people will definitely be willing to give her face."

"Good idea!" Xiao Chongjing kissed her lips happily, "It's just right, it saves her from having nothing to do all day!"
