Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 120 Marriage

"You..." Liu Min's face flushed. Jiang Ruan's words were so blunt that he was always arrogant and a little annoyed. He was speechless for a moment. Seeing Jiang Ruan's smiling face, he couldn't say anything to blame her. He could only flick his sleeves and said angrily: "He is not a good person."

This time, even Lu Zhu frowned. Xiao Shao is the perfect husband in her heart. What is this man talking about?

Jiang Ruan knew what Liu Min meant. As long as he was an official in the same court, no matter which faction he belonged to, Xiao Shao had never participated in it. No matter which faction he belonged to, he firmly believed that Xiao Shao was a "traitor". 

When the old King Jinying rebelled, it was the emperor's grace that allowed Xiao Shao, the remnant of the traitor, to live until now. Who knew that his power was getting bigger and bigger, and he didn't even take the emperor into consideration. He could be extremely arrogant even in the capital. 

Liu Min was a straight minister with a very old-fashioned mind. Naturally, he believed that Xiao Shao was a traitor. Knowing that he had no other intentions, but hearing these words was indeed unpleasant, Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, but her voice was already slightly cold: "So what?"

Liu Min's fair face showed anger: "He will implicate you!" 

In Liu Min's eyes, although Jiang Ruan was mysterious, she was a transparent person. When he communicated with her on letters, he could also see that Jiang Ruan was different from those short-sighted people. How such a clean and upright person could be mixed up with traitors?!

"What does it have to do with you?" After saying this, Jiang Ruan's smile also disappeared, and she looked at Liu Min lightly. Although she didn't say anything, she made people feel her anger for no reason.

Liu Min was stagnant.

"So what" and "What does it have to do with you" directly showed Jiang Ruan's attitude. She was determined to stand on the side of Xiao Shao. Liu Min suddenly felt annoyed, and looked at Jiang Ruan with disappointment. 

Jiang Ruan looked at him and said, "The Grand Tutor is in charge of the crown prince's homework. When will he take care of other trivial matters? This princess has her own ideas, so there is no need for you to worry about it. If the Grand Tutor is willing, he can take care of other things. There are so many dirty things in the palace. The Grand Tutor can't tolerate any sand in his eyes, and it will be hard."

The irony in the words finally made Liu Min unable to stay any longer. He felt that his good intentions were wasted. He didn't have time to think clearly about where the disappointment and irritation in his heart came from. He just said, "You are stubborn." Then he left.

Jiang Ruan stood quietly in the same place, watching Liu Min's back as she walked away. Lu Zhu looked at Jiang Ruan with some uneasiness and said, "Miss... Is it not good to treat Master Liu like this?"

Lu Zhu knew that Jiang Ruan had helped Liu Min win the championship. Although she didn't know how Jiang Ruan did it, several maids knew that Jiang Ruan did this just to promote Liu Min to a higher position and become a helper in the future. But she didn't know what this arrogant master would think of Jiang Ruan's words just now. If the relationship continued to stalemate, would it lose this helper and become a major obstacle?

"It doesn't matter. Master Liu is a good person." Jiang Ruan said lightly. Good people are always soft-hearted. If something really happened, Liu Min would not stand idly by because of their friendship. But... She lowered her eyes. What happened just now? 

She shouldn't have cared about these meaningless disputes. But when it came to Xiao Shao, she couldn't help but get angry. She frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy. Recently, this man has appeared more and more in her life, and it seems that his shadow is everywhere. This domineering squeeze into the dark life seems to bring a ray of false sunlight to purgatory, which makes people have undue fantasies in their hearts.
