Comeback Of The Abandoned Wife Chapter 22: Something Bad Happened

The servant in Shuqing Yard said anxiously, “but, but something bad happened to Mr. Ruan. It would be late if we wait for him to get up.”

Wu Ruo heard everything the servant said outside the room. The corners of his mouth turned up. He asked in a casual voice, “what's happening outside?”

s.h.i.+yuan said facing the door, “my lady, the servant said that something bad happened to Mr. Ruan.”

Wu Ruo asked with a worrisome tone, “Zhizheng? What' s wrong with him? s.h.i.+yuan, come in and “Yes.”

While s.h.i.+yuan pushed the door open and walked in, the servant in Shuqing Yard took the chance to say to Wu Ruo from a distance, “sir, last night, on their way back home, Mr. Ruan's servants went to the yard of the second lady of Shuli Yard and ended up sleeping with her maids. Now the master of Shuli Yard is questioning Mr. Ruan and is about to punish him.”

“Why does it take you so long to report me? It is a big deal! How are Zhizheng's servants doing?” Wu Ruo got angry.

“It is said that they have been beaten up.” The servant argued, “sir, as soon as I got the message, I came to tell you immediately.”

“I get it. I am going right now.”

After the servant left, Wu Ruo said to s.h.i.+yuan who was helping him dress, “it doesn't have to be very tidy.”

s.h.i.+yuan got the idea and loosened up Wu Ruo's gown, making him look like he was in a hurry.

Wu Ruo rushed out of Shuqing Yard with the help of s.h.i.+jiu and s.h.i.+you.

As he had no intention to talk for his enemy, he slowed down when there was no one around in the alley but pretended to make a hurry when he was near Shuli Yard.

Wu Ruo saw from the distance that Ruan Sheng and Ruan Ying, Ruan Zhizheng's other two guards, were pacing back and forward outside the gate of Shuli Yard.

When they saw Wu Ruo, they ran toward him, “Mr. Ruo, please save our master.”

Wu Ruo was out of breath, taking out silk handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, “what-what happened?”

He didn't fake it. He was truly tired after dragging such a gigantic body all the way.

Ruan Sheng and Ruan Ying were moved when they saw Wu Ruo's ridiculous face and dress. He was a good friend because he was too worried about their master to get well dressed.

Ruan Ying explained, “last night, after we left Shuqing Yard, we went directly to the side door of south yard. But in the end, only Ruan Sheng and I left with our master. We didn't pay extra attention to it back then. We only thought Ruan Ying and Ruan Yong were too drunk to be left behind. Therefore our master and we left without them in the carriage. Ruan Ying and Ruan Yong could ride horses back home. But in middle of the night, a guard from Shuli Yard came to Ruan mansion and told us that Ruan Yong and Ruan Ying sneaked into the yard of the second daughter of Shuli Yuan and s.e.xually a.s.saulted her maids. Then they took our master away to Shuli Yard to question him.”

Wu Ruo asked, “after your left Shuli Yard, if you take left, you should go to the side door; if you take the right, you should go to the Shuli Yard and other yards. But why did Ruan Yong and Ruan Ying go to Shuli Yard?”

Ruan Sheng put on a sad face, “we don't know what happened. The five of us were together on our way to side door at that time. But for some reason we don't know, they were gone.”

"Don't worry. I'll go in and see what's going on."

As Wu Ruo finished his sentence, s.h.i.+jiu said, “sir, Mr. Ruan is coming out.”
