Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 371 - 346: His Dark Eyes Suddenly Deepened, His Gaze Flickering as Even His Voice Grew Hoarse

Chapter 371: Chapter 346: His Dark Eyes Suddenly Deepened, His Gaze Flickering as Even His Voice Grew Hoarse

A middle-aged woman was standing in front of Mrs. Zhang, wiping her tears. Her eyes glistened with tears, and her voice choked with emotion.

"Fifth Sister, we haven’t seen each other for many years. Although you said back then that you wanted to sever ties with your brother and have had no contact for years, after all, you share the same blood."

"This time, your brother came to help you as a relief envoy, only asking for a few rooms to rest. How could that be a problem? You must know that our whole family was impeached and demoted to the provinces because we were implicated in your exile!"

Faced with the woman’s veiled accusations, Mrs. Zhang’s expression was also unpleasant.

Although the severance of relations between the two families was a fact, it was also true that they were implicated.

Mr. Ruan, knowing his wife’s predicament, kindly spoke.

"We understand that you need a few rooms to rest, given the long journey, which is extremely difficult."

"But you’ve seen the current situation in our village. Everyone is struggling to survive, and it’s not just a matter of you saying you want a few rooms and having them. Moreover, you want to take our daughter’s boudoir. How could we agree to that?!"

"We can arrange a room for your family to rest for now, and then later..."

"Boudoir?" Before Mr. Ruan could finish his words, a young man sneered.

"As far as I know, Ruan Mian has been twice married and widowed. Can it still be considered a boudoir? A true boudoir should belong to an unmarried young lady like my sister, that’s what a boudoir is!"

Mr. Ruan’s face briefly froze, his gaze deepening.

As he was about to speak, the middle-aged man interrupted him.

"Even if you are unwilling to vacate the rooms today, we are under orders and must be given a place to stay!"

"Ruan Shen, when your Ruan Family was exiled, our entire family was implicated. I never complained! Now, it’s your fortune to still be alive and meet us!"

"If you keep holding onto the matter of the rooms, then don’t blame us..."

Before he could finish, Ruan Mian stepped into the courtyard, continuing indifferently, "Don’t blame you for what?"

"Don’t blame you for using authority to oppress people, trying to take over our rooms?"

As everyone’s eyes fell on her, Ruan Mian adjusted her appearance, calmly and coldly surveying each person present.

Invisibly, her gaze carried a sense of pressure.

These people must be the uncle and his family.

Indeed, this "uncle" bore some resemblance to her mother in his eyebrows and eyes.

They came here with their whole family under the guise of a relief envoy, and immediately wanted to take over her rooms. How could that be reasonable?

With this thought, Ruan Mian unabashedly focused her gaze on Zhang Hexsong, her lips slightly curling with a hint of sarcasm from Hua Yun.

"Envoy Master, disaster relief is the court’s mercy on us, the victimized people, thus entrusting these people to you. But as a commoner, I do not understand. You arrive and immediately want to seize the few rooms we have. Is this the court’s decree?"

"And your son and daughter, demanding separate rooms upon arrival, is this also the court’s arrangement?"

Zhang Hexsong was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ruan Mian to be so articulate, countering him with just a few words!

At this point, some of the onlookers outside the courtyard also turned their attention this way.

For the sake of the relief envoy’s face, Zhang Hexsong couldn’t disregard the eyes of others.

However, his wife, Ye Family, who was still weeping moments ago, now retorted angrily.

"What nonsense are you saying!! We are here as relief envoys, naturally coming for the sake of the people!"

Ruan Mian furrowed her brows: "If it’s for the people, why seize so many rooms from us?" Once again stung by these words, Ye Family didn’t know how to respond appropriately.

She was forced to speak boldly: "Who is trying to seize so many rooms from you? We are merely tired from the journey and need rooms to rest. Originally, we should rest at the government office or the post station, but who knew the flood had destroyed those places?"

"Otherwise, do you think we’d bother with your few rooms? We wouldn’t even want these houses of yours!"

With these words, others gasped, while Ye Family remained oblivious about where she had misspoken.

It wasn’t until her son pulled her away, forcing her to keep quiet, that she became aware of her mistake, facing her husband’s reproachful glare.

However, Ruan Mian seized this opportunity: "Indeed, in our impoverished land, it naturally cannot accommodate the noble figures of a relief envoy and your family."
