Chapter 36 Happens for a Reason
"Ahem......" Soon, I saw Mama Li helping Liu Ruyan out, and Liu Ruyan did look a little tired.
Jiang Ruiqing is well-known for his filial piety in Kyoto, and immediately greeted him with a worried face, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"Ahem...... cough weakly" Liu Ruyan coughed weakly twice, and told Jiang Ruiqing and Liu Mianmian with concern, "Although it is almost summer now, the weather is still very cold in the morning and evening, you all pay attention, don't freeze." ”
As she spoke, she noticed that Liu Mianmian's eyes were red, and her voice immediately rose a little, "Mianmian, what's wrong with you?
Jiang Ruiqing immediately looked nervously.
Liu Mianmian's eyes turned even redder, and her tears couldn't stop falling, and then she stepped forward a few steps and threw herself into Liu Ruyan's arms at once.
Her voice sounded softly and glutinously, "Auntie, Mianmian is fine, Mianmian has not been wronged, which makes my aunt worried." ”
"Really not wronged?" Liu Ruyan asked with some disbelieving, "What about Ying Ning, why didn't she come back with you?"
Liu Mianmian immediately lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "Cousin Mianmian went to Young Master Ji's courtyard and said that she wouldn't come back for lunch at noon." ”
"This little bastard, he is really lawless, what is he always running into the yard of a traitor's son?" Liu Ruyan was obviously a little dissatisfied, she thought in her heart that Liu Mianmian must have been bullied by Jiang Yingning.
"Mother," Jiang Ruiqing was a little helpless, "My sister is still young, and she has a lively temperament, she likes Ji Zhongli's yard and lets her go, it's not in the way, you can't be angry with her because of this." ”
Liu Ruyan wanted to open her mouth to reprimand Jiang Ruiqing, but she heard Mama Li cough behind her, and she reacted, and sighed a little weakly, "Okay, don't talk about her today, let's have a good meal as a family." ”
Jiang Ruiqing listened to the three words of the family, which was a little harsh for no reason, but because Liu Ruyan was sick, he couldn't say anything.
Liu Ruyan took the initiative to take Liu Mianmian's hand, and then pulled Jiang Ruiqing and entered the table together, she felt that it was good not to have Jiang Yingning at this time, after all, they were a family.
During the banquet, Liu Ruyan asked Liu Mianmian again if she was bullied by Jiang Yingning in class, and Liu Mianmian kept shaking her head.
In the end, she said a little embarrassed, "Auntie, Mianmian was too worried about her aunt's body just now, so she cried, auntie, don't misunderstand Sister Yingning." ”
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's heart warmed, and she immediately reached out and touched Liu Mianmian's head, "Good boy, aunt is fine, don't worry." ”
She is really fine, but if she wants to persuade Jiang Ruiqing to be nice to Liu Mianmian, she always has to play a bitter trick.
After lunch, Liu Mianmian took the pearl back to the room to practice calligraphy.
Liu Ruyan called Jiang Ruiqing to him, "Ruiqing, you sit, for a while, you go to Mianmian to have a look, your handwriting has always been good, guide her more." ”
"I'll want to go to my sister in a moment. Jiang Ruiqing said directly, obviously unwilling to guide Liu Mianmian.
Liu Ruyan's eyes suddenly turned red, as if she couldn't control her emotions, and quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Jiang Ruiqing was like this from his mother, so he had to change his mind immediately, "Mother, don't be sad, I'll go in a while, okay?"
"You're not really sincere. Liu Ruyan seemed to be even more sad, and said with tears in her eyes, "Ruiqing, why don't you understand your mother? Why don't you think about your mother more?"
She wiped her tears and cried, "It's half a month's walk from my mother's hometown, and if you marry so far away from home, do you know how bitter your mother is in her heart? ”
"Mother......" Jiang Ruiqing felt a little distressed about Liu Ruyan, "Don't be sad, Ying Ning and I are both ......"
"Don't mention that little bunny. Liu Ruyan cried even more sadly, "Because of her, I have been reprimanded by the old lady a lot, and there is no one at home who can help me speak and feel sorry for me, I am so pitiful." ”
"Mother," Jiang Ruiqing was even more anxious, "Ying Ning is just a five-year-old child, if you love her more and spoil her more, she will definitely be more well-behaved and sensible." ”
"Okay, even if my mother is a little negligent sometimes, but what about Mianmian?" Liu Ruyan looked even more aggrieved, "What kind of attitude do you see towards Mianmian? She just didn't take her mother's relatives seriously, in other words, she just didn't take me seriously as a mother." ”
"How is it possible? Mother, Ying Ning usually listens to you more, and always tries her best to make you happy, and everyone sees it. Jiang Ruiqing was upset for Jiang Yingning.
"That was once upon a time. Liu Ruyan's words are true, she doesn't understand what happened to Jiang Yingning recently, and she doesn't revolve around herself, and she can't see a figure every day.
But she didn't care, now that Liu Mianmian is here, she is even more out of sight and out of mind with Jiang Yingning.
So, she immediately went straight to the point and said, "Ruiqing, you can also see that my mother loves Mianmian very much, do you know why?"
Could there be any reason for this?
Jiang Ruiqing looked at Liu Ruyan puzzled.
A few years ago, when your father was still there, once your mother went back to her hometown to visit relatives, but she became very sick and lived in her mother's house for almost a year. ”
Jiang Ruiqing nodded, "I remember, when my mother came back, she still looked very weak and lay in bed for more than a month. ”
Liu Ruyan nodded, and then said, "At that time, my mother was sick, and it was Mianmian's mother who insisted on taking care of me personally, you must know that she was still pregnant with Mianmian at that time!"
"Later, my mother heard that Mianmian's mother died soon after giving birth to Mianmian, so when I remembered that she took care of me day and night at that time, I ......"
She cried again sadly.
Jiang Ruiqing was slightly surprised, "Mother thinks it's because of my mother...... Why don't you have a mother of your own?"
"Well, so my mother felt ashamed of Mianmian, and she brought Mianmian here to compensate her. Liu Ruyan knew that Jiang Ruiqing accepted his reasons.
She was a little happy in her heart, and asked tentatively again, "So, Ruiqing, can you be nicer to Mianmian, can you treat her like your own sister?"
Jiang Ruiqing met Liu Ruyan's expectant gaze, and the words of refusal were like a fish in his throat, and he nodded after a long time, "Mother, I will be very good to Mianmian and treat her as my sister, but ......"
He stood up and said somewhat resolutely, "It's just that my own sister is only Ying Ning alone, and this matter will never change." ”
When Liu Ruyan heard this, her face suddenly became a little ugly, and she wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Jiang Ruiqing.
"Mother, you take care of your body, I'll go and see how my cousin is doing. He said and turned around and walked away.
