Chapter 1811 Women also hold up half the sky
Yan Ruyu no longer allowed Luhu and Linlang to live in the courtyard. Now they have been targeted by Gong Yanghua, and her desire to win has been aroused. I am afraid she will not give up and there may be danger.
So, she ordered people to clean up the yard and make it full of life. She also secretly arranged two secret guards who would not show up but secretly observe who would come.
After everything is arranged, return to the palace.
When she was almost at the palace, she suddenly stopped.
Feng Shao and Zhao Yan beside him asked, "Princess, what's wrong?"
Yan Ruyu looked back and everything was normal.
The bee whistle was very sensitive, but it didn't notice anything.
But Yan Ruyu had an indescribable feeling, as if she was being stared at by something, and it was different from the feeling of being stared at by Gong Yanghua just now.
It was an icy gaze, like that of a cold-blooded animal.
Yan Ruyu looked down at her wrist and saw goose bumps on her arm.
Alarm bells were ringing in her heart.
"Go back home."
The three of them did not return through the main gate, but went around to the side door, and Yan Ruyu went straight back to the yard.
Huo Changhe was looking through the books Yan Ruyu had given him, which included miscellaneous notes, morning news, travel notes, and all kinds of other books.
He was most interested in travel notes. He had never seen the book Yan Ruyu gave him, and he never thought that such a book existed in the world.
The patterns are colorful, and the mountains and rivers are extremely clear and so real that it feels like you are in them.
Just as I was engrossed in watching, Yan Ruyu came back.
He closed the book immediately and noticed that something was wrong with Yan Ruyu's expression.
"what happened?"
"Things aren't going well?"
Huo Changhe pulled her to sit down: "Let me go?"
Yan Ruyu held him back: "No, Gong Yanghua's matter is going smoothly, and he has basically been trapped."
Huo Changhe's heart sank slightly: "Is there anything else?"
"When I came back just now, I felt like someone was staring at me. The gaze was very cold and different."
"Like...some kind of animal."
Yan Ruyu knew that this description was ridiculous, but it was true.
Huo Changhe gently embraced her and said, "Since Gong Yanghua has already fallen into the trap, why don't I take over? You should have a good rest in the mansion these few days."
Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "Let me shrink?"
Huo Changhe said with guilt: "No, you've been working too hard these days. I want you to take a break. Let me do it."
Yan Ruyu looked up at him and said, "Then I won't be polite."
"It's just right. I can invite Madam Cao to come to the mansion and bring her plans and the progress of the West City project. I can also think about the rest of the matter."
Huo Changhe leaned over and kissed her forehead: "I told you to have a good rest, not to do anything else."
"That, to me, is just rest."
Huo Changhe did not insist any more. As long as Yan Ruyu was safe and happy, that was enough.
In fact, he did want her to stay out of the spotlight.
Although he was not with her, he believed in her intuition and her feelings.
"The abbot went to the manor. I don't know what the strange thing he encountered before was," Huo Changhe whispered, "Could it be related to that?"
Yan Ruyu had been so busy these past two days that she had almost forgotten about this matter. As soon as the abbot left, she put the matter aside temporarily.
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten it," Yan Ruyu stroked her forehead, "I never caught that thing."
"It's okay. I'll have people step up patrols."
The two chatted about West City again. When talking about the future, Yan Ruyu also talked about the renovation of the manor.
The future is full of beauty, which makes Huo Changhe yearn for it.
I feel more motivated to deal with current matters.
……
Yan Ruyu was right. Not long after she left, a man pushing a wheelbarrow also slowly left.
His two eyes were different. One of them was green and glowed with a faint azure light.
It's the ghost eye.
However, he was completely different now from his usual self. He was wearing tattered clothes, his shoes had a hole in them, his hair was messy, and he was pushing a wheelbarrow, like a laborer struggling to make a living.
Yinding came back from outside and passed by the intersection while riding a horse. He accidentally glanced at him and saw him. He couldn't help but look at him twice.
Beibei asked in a low voice: "Brother Tuotuo, what are you looking at?"
Yinding pointed and said, "Look at the man pushing the wheelbarrow."
Beibei sighed: "He is also a miserable person."
Yinding nodded: "I also had a cart earlier, and I pushed one on the way here."
Beibei smiled and said, "Brother Tuotuo, are you reminiscing about the good old days?"
Yinding was startled and scolded with a smile: "You kid."
When I saw the person pushing the unicycle just now, I felt a little strange in my heart, but after being teased by Beibei, it gradually disappeared.
In the evening, Song Ping came to report that Wen Xiaolian came to ask for a meeting.
Wen Xiaolian wanted to kneel when they met, and Yan Ruyu asked Luhu to support her.
"You are pregnant, no need to be polite."
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I can do some work in the palace, such as embroidery and laundry..."
Yan Ruyu smiled and waved her hand: "You can embroider as you like, but there is no need to wash it, the maids and servants will do it."
"You took away someone's job, and they have nothing to do. Isn't that bad?"
"If you are bored, I have asked Sister Rong to arrange a few embroiderers for you. They all make clothes. Since you are pregnant and it is inconvenient, let them come to you. If you are interested in what they do, you can join them."
"Although they are women, they all have their own unique skills and can earn money to support their families."
Wen Xiaolian's eyes lit up. Ever since she left her hometown and followed her husband Xu Congshan, she had almost changed her identity. She didn't dare to show up in public, let alone think about making money.
Besides, can women... also show their faces in public and make money?
"Men and women are both human beings, and they can all hold up half the sky. Everyone can show their strengths, and there is nothing that is impossible."
"I heard from Xu Congshan that you can read and write, and your family used to be scholars. There are also copyists in the second master's shop. You can also find a job like that."
Yan Ruyu was gentle and firm, and every word she said was like a spring breeze, soothing Wen Xiaolian's anxious heart.
Yan Ruyu understood very well that Wen Xiaolian had been greatly favored, not only by saving her life, but also by helping Xu Congshan escape punishment. These things were of great importance to the couple and a deep love.
It is a good thing for people to be grateful, but it may not be the case if they are burdened by too much gratitude.
Xu Congshan must have talked to her about what to do in the palace and how kind the palace was.
Yan Ruyu didn't want them to have too much pressure. Living a good life, letting go of burdens, and doing things based on their own abilities was better than anything else.
Wen Xiaolian took her leave and it was time for dinner.
The eldest lady sent someone to invite them to have dinner together.
When passing by the abbot's yard, Yan Ruyu thought about talking to the abbot in the evening. His big searchlight had been installed not long ago, and now that he was not there, it was idle.
During dinner, Yan Ruyu and the eldest lady mentioned Wen Xiaolian. Upon learning of her tragic experience, the eldest lady also sighed.
"Ruyu, don't worry, I will take good care of her and won't put too much pressure on her."
"With my mother here, I feel relieved."
