"Whoa!" A basin of cold water was poured in his face, and Ruan Mianmian, who was drowsy and kneeling in the hall, was cold, and his eyes widened with a cold shiver.

Zhou Yunning was caught off guard and rushed over, holding Ruan Mianmian in her arms, she scolded angrily: "Ruolan, don't go too far? ”

"Third Madam, you just said that Ruan Mianmian had a fever and burned his head, I think he just wanted to pretend to be faint and escape punishment. Now it's time for him to come to his senses and confront me face to face. Qin Ruolan said as she handed the basin in her hand to the maid beside her.

The eldest lady Chen Wanyupi said with a smile: "Third brother and sister, Ruolan is young, and this matter has been done a little too much, but she is just in a hurry. Now that Mianmian is awake, I'll ask her to apologize to you after arguing right and wrong, there's no need to be so angry. ”

"She's eight years old? My family is only three years old. He has been having a high fever since he fell into the water yesterday, and now he is still burning and he was brought by you to admit his mistake, and he was drenched in cold water, you want his life! Zhou Yuning had tears in her eyes and her voice was fierce.

"Mianmian is your child, but he is the only heir of the Ruan family. The people in this Manchurian Mansion are all his relatives, who will harm him, who dares to ask for his life? Your words are over. Chen Wanyu's face was full of ill intentions.

Old Madam Ruan, who originally thought that Qin Ruolan's actions were a bit excessive, changed her face in a blink of an eye, obviously Chen Wanyu's words worked.

"My sister-in-law is also a mother, and if I change you, I'm afraid I'm more angry than me, right? The matter was not clear, the old lady did not decide whether it was right or wrong, Qin Ruolan poured a basin of cold water on the three-year-old brother, and my son was still having a fever. Zhou Yunning glanced at Qin Ruolan with sarcasm, "It is worthy of being brought up by my sister-in-law, and I really taught it well!" ”

Chen Wanyu was speechless for a moment, but Old Madam Ruan's face softened.

Sensing that the situation was not right, Qin Ruolan squeezed in front of Old Madam Ruan, leaned over and said in a coquettish voice, "Grandmother Ruan, look at my face." ”

"Old lady, it's a big deal for a little girl to hurt her face, and it's a big trouble to leave traces and damage her face." Chen Wanyu got up and stepped forward to check.

Old Madam Ruan leaned over slightly to look at Qin Ruolan's face, and the other people present also turned their faces to stare to show concern.

Gu Qingrou, the second lady who was sitting quietly watching the play and was not mixed up, reluctantly got up when she saw this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes after walking over and taking a look, and turned back to her seat.

Qin Ruolan had a scratch on the right side of her face, but it was only slightly red, not scratched, and not bleeding, but it was just a big fuss.

At this time, Zhou Yunning's personal maid Shuang'er sent clean clothes, and she hurriedly took Ruan Mianmian into the wing room to change in.

After changing her clothes and coming out, Zhou Yunning knelt back to the place with Ruan Mianmian in her arms, she looked dazed, bit her lips tightly, and stubbornly didn't let her tears fall.

Orphans and widows, no matter how much she protects her, Mianmian is still bullied, and the more Zhou Yuning thinks about it, the more sad she becomes.

There was some chaos in the hall, and no one noticed that Ruan Mianmian seemed to be a little different from the past.

Ruan Mianmian looks good when she is young, but unfortunately she is a mute. He is cowardly by nature, coupled with his young age and inability to express himself, he is often bullied by his subordinates and Qin Ruolan, so he is very timid.

And Ruan Mianmian at this moment, with a small face like pink carving, and a pair of big eyes that are extremely bright, he doesn't look like a timid person.

"Old lady, Mianmian is an honest child, he doesn't dare and won't do it." Zhou Yuning raised his voice and argued.

"Xiaoxi was there at the time, and she could testify for me." Qin Ruolan pointed to the maid standing behind, "You say, did Ruan Mianmian scratch my face?" ”

Xiaoxi stepped forward and saluted: "Old lady Qiqi, Miss Cousin's face was indeed scratched by the little boy." ”

"Then tell me why I scratched her face?" The immature child's voice sounded, and there was firmness in his tone beyond his years.

Everyone present looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, and Ruan Mianmian staggered up from her mother's arms.

In an instant, the people in the hall were stunned, and Zhou Yuning cried with joy after being stunned.

"The little mute spoke." Qin Ruolan muttered in disbelief.

"Mother, it's cold on the ground." Ruan Mianmian ignored the others, he stretched out his hands and gently tugged Zhou Yuning, signaling her to get up.

Zhou Yuning looked up at Ruan Mianmian, a little surprised and a little uneasy. It's obviously the same little face, why does she feel a little strange, is this really her child?

"Mother, let's go back and talk about it." Ruan Mianmian approached Zhou Yuning's ear and lowered her voice.

With a slight bow, Zhou Yuning got up, she wiped her tears and choked and said, "Mianmian is not dumb, he just doesn't want to speak." I said it, but no one believed me. ”

Yes, almost everyone here has heard Zhou Yuning say it, but except for her and her maid Shuang'er, no one has heard Ruan Mianmian speak, and everyone only thinks she is deceiving herself.

Ruan Mianmian walked up to Mrs. Ruan and knelt down, kowtowed respectfully, and then said loudly, "Please grandmother make the decision for Mianmian." ”

Qin Ruolan came back to her senses, a look of panic flashed on her face, she was only eight years old after all, she was sure that the little mute couldn't argue, she could say whatever she wanted, but she never expected him to be able to speak.

In the past, Ruan Mianmian avoided old lady Ruan when he saw it from a distance, this was the first time he took the initiative to approach, and it was the first time that the grandfather and grandson had ever faced each other at close range.

Suddenly, Old Madam Ruan showed a surprised look, and then she looked at Ruan Mianmian's small face with mixed feelings.

Like, really like. Old Madam Ruan looked at Ruan Mianmian, as if she vaguely saw her most beloved youngest son Ruan Qi when he was young.

Bad! Chen Wanyu noticed Qin Ruolan's panic, and also noticed the change in Old Madam Ruan's expression.

"It turns out that Mianmian can speak, but he has been silent in the past few years, and he has hidden it quite deeply at a young age, and the three brothers and sisters have taught him well." Chen Wanyu killed two birds with one stone, which not only changed the topic, but also hinted that Mrs. Ruan was clearly Zhou Yuning who instigated Ruan Mianmian to pretend to be dumb.

He lowered his head slightly to hide the glint that flashed in his eyes, and when he looked up, Ruan Mianmian's eyes were full of tears: "Grandmother, my mother said that I am not dumb, I just don't want to speak." ”

Looking at the face in front of her, which looked like a young son, with an aggrieved expression, Old Madam Ruan couldn't help but echo and said, "Well, your mother has said it more than once. ”

Chen Wanyu clenched her palms suddenly, and then reluctantly smiled, Old Madam Ruan didn't give her face in front of everyone, this was the first time in the world.

"Grandmother, she scolded me for having a mother and no father, and that I was a wild child that no one wanted." Ruan Mianmian didn't forget to get down to business, he pointed at Qin Ruolan with his hand.

Hearing this, Zhou Yunning's anger rose up: "Old lady, listen, listen, it is obvious that you are bullying our orphans and widows." ”

"I didn't." Qin Ruolan retorted in a low voice.

Ruan Mianmian raised her voice: "That's what you said. I didn't want to quarrel with you, so I turned around to leave, but you continued to scold my mother. ”

"Did she scold your mother?" Old Madam Ruan glanced at Qin Ruolan with displeasure on her face.

"She scolded my mother for hating the poor, loving the rich, loving vanity, and occupying the position of Mrs. Ruan San and not letting go." Ruan Mianmian paused for a moment, tears dripping down her pink cheeks: "I also said that I am not my father's child, and I am not worthy of being the little son of the Ruan family." ”
