I Gave Birth to a Cub without Telling the Head Assistant - Chapter 7.3

Chapter 7.3

In Yangzhou, Ruan Linglong was very powerful, and from the governor to the soldiers, everyone wanted to curry favour with her. She was a businesswoman with money but no power. If she wanted to have any real impact on Liu Chengji, she could undoubtedly move her hands.

“There will be a three-month school examination process at Imperial College prior to the winners accepting the jobs of court officials. If someone did something wrong, that person would be brought down by the authorities during this time, and at best, his career would be hampered, and at worst, he would be fired.” Liu Chengji gazed at Ruan Linglong and said seriously, “Boss Ruan, I said so; do you understand?”

Ruan Linglong sniffed, nodding thoughtfully.

While they were talking, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sound of the wind became stronger.

This made Ruan Longling calm a bit, and suddenly she worried about the heavy rain. ‘The Taowu will collapse if we stay here any longer.’ Thinking that, Ruan Longling wiped her tears and stood up, pulled herself together, and said to Li Zhulin, “There is a spare umbrella hanging on the shelf next to the imperial concubine’s bed in the inner room; go and get it.”

At that time, Ruan Longling’s younger sister, Ruan Yumei, hurriedly led her maids towards the Taowu hall.

Her shoes and socks were already soaked, and her frail figure was blown sideways by the strong wind. Thanks to Xiao Hong’s support, she could barely move forward despite the wind.

“Miss, you have been in poor health since you were young, so you can just leave it to the servants to deliver the umbrella. Why insist on making a special trip by yourself in such ghostly weather?”

Xiao Hong’s voice of persuasion was blown into the air by the wind. Ruan Yumei still ignored the persuasion, wiped the rainwater from her forehead, and continued to walk forward in the rain.

Actually, Ruan Yumei came in person to deliver the umbrella because she wanted to give Liu Chengji a good impression about her sister because she was afraid that the incident that happened earlier would fracture the relationship between her sister and Liu Chengji.

In the past, Liu Chengji and Ruan Longling were engaged since they were young, but the Liu family caused a lot of trouble for the Ruan family, and Ruan Yumei didn’t want to get close to her future brother-in-law from the bottom of her heart, but now she had leaped into the dragon’s gate.

Liu Chengji’s and his third sister’s marriage was imminent, so they could be regarded as family members. Even in order to get along better in the future, she should be more obedient.

“Miss! We don’t need to go! There are umbrellas in Taowu! Look, they are back!”

Ruan Yumei raised her head from the oil-paper umbrella and followed Xiao Hong’s fingertips.

The sky was full of dark clouds, and the peach trees all over the mountain were blown crookedly by the strong wind, and the leaves were dancing along the wind. Although the sky was gloomy and the setting sun was forced behind the mountain of the peach forest,

In the windy and rainy area where black and red smudges meet, a light yellow umbrella made of oil paper unexpectedly appeared in the middle of the curvy path with peach trees.

A man and a woman stood together, sharing an umbrella. The man was very tall and slender, while the woman was graceful and charming. They walked very slowly, as if they were immortal beings who came down from the sky.

It was just that the fairy spirit didn’t take long…

The woman suddenly had trouble keeping her balance and was about to collapse. Because of the man who hugged the woman’s waist, she was able to stay standing.

The two stood close together under an umbrella, showing how much they cared about each other.

The rain was very heavy, so Ruan Yumei couldn’t see their faces well. But she could still see her sister’s body shape. So she thought that the person with the umbrella was Liu Chengji.

Ruan Yumei looked in the distance and saw the umbrella in the man’s hand, covering his sister beside him obliquely, and most of his broad shoulders were exposed in the rainstorm.

‘My sister has indeed found a good man who is considerate.’

It wasn’t until this moment that Ruan Yumei sincerely approved of the marriage.

Ruan Yumei was very happy in her heart; she immediately went up to meet them with an umbrella, raised her arms high, and shouted loudly, “Sister! Brother -in-law! Meimei has brought you an umbrella!”

[T/L: 小妹妹 / meimei refers to a younger sister in the Chinese language.]
