Chapter 807 Dowry
Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside through the curtain with a half-smile on his face, Ruan Rong knew that the harsh words she had just said had fallen into his ears.
She regretted it deeply at that moment. Although she was usually a little bit temperamental and wanted to show off her status in front of Xiangling and You Erjie, she had never been so ruthless.
But he really couldn't control his emotions just now. If Sun Shaozong had come a few steps later, his sarcasm would have turned into hurtful words.
"Second Master."
Ruan Rong stood up hesitantly, not knowing how to explain, but she never expected Sun Shaozong to step forward, wrap his arms around her slender waist, take her into his arms, and then peck her on the lips without any hesitation.
That inexplicable and shy feeling, mixed with a hint of joy, still lingered between Ruan Rong's lips.
Sun Shaozong turned to the bewildered Ping'er and said, "Don't be angry with her . The five southern border states are at war with the imperial court. She was so worried that she didn't sleep all night. What she said today was not from her heart."
Ping'er suddenly realized what was going on and quickly said a few words to comfort her, and she and Ruan Rong made peace.
Seeing Sun Shaozong being so considerate, Ruan Rong's inexplicable jealousy was mostly gone. She apologized a few times and pointed to the inner room, saying, "Just now I was inappropriate to take my anger out on Sister Ping'er. Now I'm lending you this room to use as an apology."
As he said this, he told Yuanyang, who was watching the fun, "Go get a new bed and tell the two concubines to come over for dinner later."
This statement was much more effective than the previous sarcasm. It immediately made Ping'er blush and she waved her hands repeatedly, but she didn't know how to refuse.
Seeing Ping'er's helpless look, Ruan Rong covered her mouth with her sleeves and laughed. She stepped forward and pushed her, teasing, "We will all be family sooner or later. Who are you pretending to be like this for?"
So Ping'er was half-heartedly sent into the inner room by Ruan Rong.
But Sun Shaozong did not rush in. Instead, he stepped forward and rubbed Ruan Rong into his arms again, saying softly: "If you have anything on your mind, don't keep it in your heart. I will..."
Ruan Rong rubbed her head against Sun Shaozong's chest several times, and then pushed him again, interrupting what Sun Shaozong was about to say.
Tsk~
This emotion is indeed not right.
Under normal circumstances, she would never give up her bedroom to a potential rival like Ping'er - the only time in all these years was because she was about to go south and she couldn't bear to be separated from her for a moment, so she pulled Xiangling to sleep with her.
Speaking of which...
At that time, both of them happened to be in the breastfeeding period, and the whole bed was moistened with the fragrance of milk.
…
But Ping'er went into the inner room and stood in front of the door, looking around blankly. She suddenly felt a little timid.
So when Sun Shaozong came in with a helpless look on his face, carrying a new quilt, she unconsciously took a few steps back, lowered her head, and dared not look at the face she had been thinking about day and night.
Sun Shaozong casually threw the blanket onto the bed, sat down in the middle, and waved, "Why are you hiding so far away? Come over and talk."
Ping'er raised her head and glanced at him, but his two legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, not moving at all.
This woman's mind is really hard to understand.
Originally, the two of them were secretly in love and when they were passionate, they couldn't wait to be naked with each other as soon as they met.
But now that she was about to marry into the Sun family, Ping'er became shy instead.
Sun Shaozong sighed speechlessly and rolled his eyes, "We are connected by mountains and rivers, do you really want me to force you to do it?"
Hearing him emphasize the four words "mountains and waters connected", Ping'er was a little confused at first, and then two blushes bloomed on her face.
Once in a cave, and once boating on a lake, doesn't that mean the mountains and waters are connected?
"Pooh~"
She couldn't help but spit: "Second Master just likes to mistreat people."
After a pause, he looked up at Sun Shaozong and said, "Besides, didn't the Second Master use force at the beginning?"
Sun Shaozong, who was looking straight at him with a gentle expression, was moved. He could not help but pretend to roll up his sleeves and put on a foolish face: "Then I will use it again today!"
As he said this, he made a move to pounce on her, but Ping'er was already shaking with laughter.
Then he took small steps forward and wanted to work shoulder to shoulder with Sun Shaozong, but he was pressed on his legs by him.
Ping'er didn't struggle, but subconsciously glanced outside the door, then slowly placed her head on Sun Shaozong's chest, listening to the familiar heartbeat, and all her timidity and shame were thrown out of her mind for a moment.
Sun Shaozong rested his chin on her forehead and said with a chuckle, "Let's deal with the business first, and then we can..."
"Don't!"
Ping Er quickly sat up straight again and shook her head, saying, "There's still a lot of time left. I don't want them to laugh at me. I came here this time because Second Madam wanted to get the accounts settled as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."
Having said this, she slightly turned her body to the side to make it easier for Sun Shaozong to use his Lushan claws. Then she briefly talked about the matter in which Lai Wang's wife had leaked the news, causing a lot of discussion in Rongguo Mansion.
When Sun Shaozong heard this, he couldn't help but tighten his grip. When Ping'er groaned softly, he quickly withdrew his strength and asked, "Has it been implicated in our family?"
Ping'er shook her head, and her legs, which were tightly together, involuntarily opened apart as Sun Shaozong manipulated her. She refused, "Second Master, please don't do this. Later..."
But Sun Shaozong didn't care about her hypocrisy.
He continued to perform his own tricks and asked, "Besides that, did she ask you to convey anything else?"
"Second Madam also said, if you are dissatisfied with the money Wang Ren spent, we can discuss it again when the account is settled."
This is just talk, otherwise there would be no further discussion, but a direct statement that he would take the responsibility independently.
But Sun Shaozong was too lazy to point it out, and said with a smile: "When we go back, tell my second sister-in-law that the silver will be regarded as my advance betrothal gift."
How could Ping'er not know that with her grandmother's greed, it would be impossible for her to bear the cost of this money on her own, and what Sun Shaozong said was just a blank check.
However, when I thought of that huge number, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart. All the things I had been reluctant to let go of before were now opened up.
Or it is said:
The precious torch is waving red, and the musk quilt is spewing green.
The embroidered screen with golden threads is tightly closed, and the dark blue gauze curtain hangs low.
The mandarin duck pillows are connected together, like a pair of eyes sleeping on the same waves; the fragrant quilts are spread together, like a pair of spring silkworms making cocoons.
She was very sad about the love affairs in spring, and she couldn't help herself when her slender waist was touched.
Even though the King of Chu dreamed of the goddess and Liu and Ruan entered Peach Blossom Spring, the happiness they enjoyed together could not be compared to that of the others.

…
There was a sound of singing and crying inside, but Ruan Rong was still staring at the tea on the table. Her thoughts seemed to have risen to an indescribable place along with the mist.
Suddenly, Shi Liu poked his head out and reported, "Madam, Yuan Yang is here. She said the eldest mistress wants to invite Ping Er to dinner."
Ruan Rong seemed to have turned a deaf ear to what was said, but just as Shi Liu was about to raise her voice to report again, she suddenly burst into laughter and said in a loud voice, "Then let her go in by herself and invite her in nicely."
