Make You Happy

Chapter 5 – Decide

Chapter 5 decision

It was dusk when Ruan Youqing returned to the mansion.

The handkerchief she used to cover her mouth earlier was naturally soaked in special medicine. After all, if the body is weak, one must always act weak. The handkerchief had already put away the fan, but now Ruan Youqing just stared blankly at the packed jade and Bu Yao that he just took in his hand, without any emotion in his eyes.

“Miss, are you going to…” Seeing that she was too silent, Fan Er asked cautiously.

As soon as the words fell, Ruan Youqing put the things in Fan’er’s hands back, and then replied lazily: “Put it in the warehouse.”

Fan’er was a little puzzled: “But these are carefully selected by you, Miss, to give to Madam and Young Master…”

Ruan Youqing turned his head away, and his voice was a bit cold: “These two things are not suitable for my mother and elder brother now. When I go back to pick out gifts for my father and sister, I will choose them together.”

Someone has touched something, she will never give it to her relatives again.

She thinks dirty.

While the two were talking, they had already reached the front hall.

Originally, Ruan Youqing wanted to pass through the front hall and go directly to the backyard, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw the figure of her grandfather sitting in the hall.

“Come in.” Ruan Chong naturally saw her.

Ruan Youqing sighed silently, and walked in obediently.

“Grandfather, are you… awake?” Ruan Youqing smiled a little embarrassedly. She knew that when she went out this time, she must have let her grandfather know about it.

Fortunately…she didn’t go to that place.

Ruan Chong looked at the well-behaved little granddaughter, and couldn’t tell if he was angry or what.

“Grandpa?” Seeing that his grandfather didn’t respond, Ruan Youqing called out again nervously.

Back after being reborn, she felt the warmth of her family again, and only in front of her family would she relax and act like a baby without knowing anything about the world.

“Come here.” Ruan Chong looked solemn, and beckoned to Ruan Youqing.

“Youqing knew it was wrong.” Ruan Youqing thought for a moment, then walked over slowly, ready to admit his mistake first.

Ruan Chong stared at her for a long time, then his eyes finally softened, and he reached out and patted her on the shoulder: “My son will grow up after all, the outside world is dangerous, but… very exciting. Grandfather really shouldn’t control you too strictly You… don’t blame grandpa.”

“Grandfather, Youqing knows that you are well-intentioned, grandfather.” Ruan Youqing felt sour when he saw his grandfather like this.

Because of her previous life, she once complained.

After a quarrel with her gray-haired grandfather, she got her wish and began to get in touch with people and things outside.

Until I met scumbags, it began to be beyond redemption.

In this life… She knows the price of willfulness, so she cherishes the peaceful days now.

But…she still has to go out…

It’s just not as naive as in the previous life, thinking that everyone is a good person.

Conquering those suppressed emotions, Ruan Youqing spoke after deliberating, “Grandfather…but what happened?”

Ruan Chong asked her to sit down, sighed, and then slowly said: “In a few days, it will be the Huachaohui… This time, the palace still posted a post for you. Well, what do you think? If you don’t want to go, grandpa will Excuse me for you. After all, you have been weak since childhood…”

Ruan Youqing looked at his grandfather seriously, and said in a firm tone, “Grandfather, Youqing wants to go.”

Seeing his little granddaughter like this, Ruan Chong’s expression was a bit complicated: “Do you really like… outside?”

Ruan Youqing listened and shook his head: “Grandfather, Youqing thinks that as the Ruan family, you should not hide under your wings forever. Youqing also wants to protect you.”

Thinking of that nightmare scene, Ruan Youqing’s eyes turned red unconsciously.

Ruan Chong didn’t expect to get such an answer. After being relieved, he pretended to be angry and said, “What? You think your grandfather can’t protect you anymore? Do you despise your grandfather?”

Ruan Youqing hurriedly stood up, pouted a little aggrievedly: “Grandfather is always the most heroic person in our Ruan family, how could Youqing despise grandfather! Youqing just thinks…”

Ruan Chong interrupted her with a big laugh, and then said with loving eyes: “Okay, okay, grandpa knows that my family is very human, but you have to remember, don’t expose your strength if you can. If someone If you bully you, just tell your grandfather, he will just stand up for you!”

The grandparents and grandchildren had dinner together with a smile, and Ruan Youqing left after the night darkened.

Every ten days before Xingqing Festival, there will always be a Flower Show in Ningguo Palace.

As the name suggests, it mainly focuses on flowers.

Before the Qing Festival, a lot of flowers had already bloomed in the imperial garden. As the master of the harem, the queen would invite young ladies from famous families to enjoy the flowers.

Many ladies who are waiting to get married are most looking forward to getting this post from Huachaohui.

Because in the capital, many good relationships begin with Huachaohui.

In the stories of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies, it is also the most suitable for delicate and charming flowers and young girls with spring hearts.

Ruan Youqing also receives posts every year, but they are all rejected by Ruan Chong on the grounds that she is weak.

This year, the palace posted a post to the Ruan Mansion as usual. Ruan Chong saw that his little granddaughter was always going out these days, so he thought, let her decide whether to go or not.

And Ruan Youqing is already ready to start all the preparations.

The first step is to appear in the sight of everyone in Beijing.

When Ruan Chong bid farewell to Ruan Youqing and boarded the carriage entering the palace, the old man held Ruan Youqing’s hand with reddish eyes, and repeatedly told him:

“Hey boy, if someone really bullies you and grandpa can’t make it in time, you can just beat them up. If something goes wrong…um…as long as no one is killed…grandfather will take care of you!”

Ruan Youqing responded dumbfounded: “Grandfather, Youqing is… a delicate woman who has been sick since childhood~”

“Okay, okay! My family is the most delicate!” Ruan Chong followed her words and coaxed.

Ruan Chong didn’t let Ruan Youqing go until the palace servant waiting in the distance came to remind him with a smile.

Waving hands with his grandfather through the car window, Ruan Youqing sat back in his seat.

Fan’er was a little apprehensive at the side, so naturally he didn’t pay attention to his young lady’s expression.

At this time, Ruan Youqing seemed to be a different person.

It is different from the gentleness when getting along with family members, and also different from the delicateness when getting along with outsiders.

Her eyes were as cold as the water in a deep well.

The nightmares that tormented her every day reminded her that it is impossible to let go of those seemingly ethereal pasts!

Ruan’s Mansion is still some distance away from the imperial palace, and it took a long time to get there.

Fan’er helped Ruan Youqing get off the carriage, looking at the majestic palace gate, Ruan Youqing gently covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

The corner of the mouth behind the veil, however, evoked a very cold smile.

Imperial Palace… Is she back again?

Seeing her embarrassed and depressed back on the day she was escorted to leave the capital, Ruan Youqing felt an unspeakable feeling in her heart.

At this time, many carriages also stopped here.

The ladies of each mansion got out of the carriage with the help of their maids.

Ruan Youqing didn’t want to have too much contact with people, so with the support of Fan’er, she walked towards the soft sedan chair prepared in the palace.

Seeing that she was about to walk in front of the soft car closest to her, a sneer suddenly sounded, followed by an undisguised mocking voice:

“Which family’s sick lady is this? I looked at him with a strange look. Could it be that… I wanted to go to the medical center, but I went to the wrong place?”

Ruan Youqing looked at the other party after covering up his coldness, and said softly with a bewildered look on his face: “This… Miss, I… came to accept the post to participate in the Huachaohui.”

「I see…I thought you went to the wrong place!」

The other party covered his mouth and smiled, then approached Ruan Youqing, and said word by word:

「I’m taking this sedan chair~you…you can find something else~」
