The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

Shangguan Haitong said gently: "Before you go to see your ideal husband, can you go somewhere else with me first?"

"Okay. What fun place is it?" Ruan Yi was in a very good mood and agreed immediately.

"I'm afraid it's not fun for you." Shangguan Haitong raised a meaningful smile, hoping not to scare the little girl.

Ruan Yi looked puzzled, but then he let it go. No matter whether it's fun or not, you'll know when you go and see it.

The carriage stopped in an alley.

Huanshuang got off the car first, and then helped the guests and the master.

Ruan Yi looked around curiously. There were occasional pedestrians in the narrow alley.

Where is this place?

Shangguan Haitong walked into the alley: "From here to your ideal husband's home is very close, it can be considered a shortcut."

"Okay." Ruan Yi followed.

Huanshuang ordered the carriage to wait at the designated location, and then followed his master.

The alley is narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through.

In order to avoid pedestrians coming from the opposite direction, they had no choice but to stand at other people's doorsteps.

There was a noisy sound coming from inside, men swearing and women crying.

And the old man keeps chattering away.

There was a loud noise, which scared Ruan Yi.

She was afraid and hid next to Shangguan Haitong: "Sister, they..."

"They are husband and wife, this is their married life." Shangguan Haitong patted Ruan Yi's hand to comfort her, "Everything needs money. You had a falling out with the teacher and insisted on marrying him. That scholar is poor, how can he give you a good life?"

"You think that poverty means that you can't eat your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake today, but you have to eat mung bean cake instead. In reality, poverty means that you can't eat anything. The amount of rice is calculated by the grain every day. There are no new clothes, new jewelry, flowers, snacks and tea."

Ruan Yi's eyes widened: "He, he won't let me live like this. He said he would try his best to support me."

The pedestrians have passed.

The three of them moved forward again.

Shangguan Haitong walked in front: "Sister, do you really understand him?"

"What do you mean?" Ruan Yi didn't understand.

Is there anything wrong with her falling in love with talent, gentleness, and ambition?

It just so happened.

A door in front opened and a woman fell out.

A drunk man grabbed the woman's hair and said, "I told you to buy some wine, did you hear me?"

The woman cried with tears on her face: "There is no money left at home. The children can't even afford to eat, how can we afford to buy wine?"

"Snapped!"

The man slapped the woman hard and said, "I know you hid the money. Take it out now. Take it out!"

"Hey, what are you doing!" Ruan Yi wanted to step forward to stop him.

Huanshuang grabbed her.

Ruan Yi turned around and said, "Why are you stopping me? Didn't you see he was beating someone?"

Huan Shuang was helpless: "That's his wife. Whether she's beaten to death or sold, it has nothing to do with us."

"What?" Ruan Yi was confused.

Isn’t the relationship between wife and husband one of mutual support and happiness together?

She turned her head away. How could this be possible? It couldn't be like this...

Shangguan Haitong stepped forward and threw a piece of silver: "Please make way."

The broken silver fell to the ground and rolled around. The man pounced on it like a dog smelling a bone: "Silver. Silver. Hahahaha."

The woman hid in a corner and cried, "The girl gave him money, but we can't pay it back."

Hearing this, the man turned around and slapped her fiercely again: "I found the silver, why should I return it?"

Shangguan Haitong gradually lost his patience: "Are you going to give way or not?"

The man turned around and looked at the three women with drunken eyes. From their clothes, it was obvious that they were from wealthy families, especially the leading woman.

Even through the veil, one could feel the cold gaze, full of oppression and murderous intent.

The man sobered up instantly and retreated to the door in a flattering manner: "I'm sorry for blocking your way."

The road was cleared, and Shangguan Haitong walked forward without looking back. Ruan Yi wanted to say something as she passed by the man.

Huanshuang immediately pushed the guest forward.

The alley is not long, and the view is bright once you come out of it.

Ruan Yi was still upset about what happened just now: "Sister, why don't we help her?"

Shangguan Haitong turned his head slightly: "Help? How? Help in emergencies, not in poverty. Look carefully, this is your future life."

After she finished speaking, she gave Huanshuang a look. The master and servant understood immediately.

Ruan Yi was stubborn: "Zhao Lang would never do this to me. We really love each other."

"Really? Come and have a look. Across the street is the home of your ideal husband." Shangguan Haitong looked across.

Outside the alley is an open area, separated by a river.

Opposite is another residence.

Ruan Yi looked around and felt that the surroundings were familiar, indeed.

At this moment, women in twos and threes were washing clothes opposite.

A woman in old clothes was particularly eye-catching, because her belly was slightly bulging, and she must be pregnant.

Shangguan Haitong walked along the river bank, preparing to cross the bridge: "That woman was bought by your ideal husband to serve his family. She is not considered a wife until she is married. But she is already three months pregnant, and works hard every day. She is what you will be like when you marry her."

Ruan Yi looked at the woman in disbelief and stood there blankly. Zhao Lang and her...

Skillful.

At this time, an old woman came out of the alley, kicked the woman to the ground with a fierce look.

Ruan Yi was shocked and walked over quickly.

Shangguan Haitong and Huanshuang hurried to follow.

As he approached, Ruan Yi saw the old woman's face clearly. She was clearly Zhao Lang's mother, who had always smiled kindly when they first met.

The old woman slapped him twice: "You are such a jinx, you took so long to wash clothes. It's already so late and you haven't cooked yet. Do you want to starve us to death? You don't work well and you eat a lot. I might as well buy a pig instead of you."

The same face, one ferocious, the other kind.

Ruan Yi couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. But she still had hope that Zhao Lang was deeply in love with her...

The old woman picked up the basin of clothes, grabbed the woman's hair and went back to the alley: "Lazy guy, go home and cook."

Ruan Yi chased after them, from slow to fast. She stood at the entrance of the alley and saw the two people enter the house.

Ruan Yi mustered up her courage and went over. The door was open. She was extremely hesitant, not knowing whether she should go in or not.

Until she heard a familiar voice. It was the voice of her dream lover, the voice she thought about day and night.

"Isn't the meal ready yet? What time is it? Don't think you can do less work just because you're pregnant."

In an instant, Ruan Yi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His gentleness and ambition were instantly shattered.

There were knocking sounds from the house, followed by the old woman's curse: "You don't work well, you only know how to eat. My son is going to be the top scholar, can you afford to pay him back if he starves? Work hard, maybe in the future when my son marries a rich lady, I can even give you a bite of food."

The woman seemed accustomed to this kind of life and worked silently.

Ruan Yi was shaking with fear. She was afraid that she would have to live like this in the future...

Shangguan Haitong and Huanshuang stood behind and watched everything.

All disguises are removed, and the liar is exposed. If Miss Ruan still loves, no one can save her.
