Chapter 14: Untying the Knot

At present, Ruan Mianmian is only three years old, and she wants to be a little milk dumpling in peace and happiness.

If you want your mother to stop working hard, you must have money in your hands, Ruan Mianmian knows this well.

From Ruan Geng's words, it is not difficult for Ruan Mianmian to deduce that he intends to ask for a share for the third room.

Grandfather is too slippery, this is not a change of concept, saying that it is a reward, but it turns out to be deducted with the share that should have belonged to the mother. Ruan Mianmian thought that there was a chance to collect wool on him.

After Ruan Mianmian left, Zhou Yunning was anxious and looked at the door from time to time, until she saw her coming back from a distance and raised her little hand and waved, her hanging heart finally fell.

"Mother, I'm right, my grandfather is just looking for me to play." Jumping up, Ruan Mianmian came to Zhou Yuning.

"That's good." Zhou Yuning reached out and pinched Ruan Mianmian's cheek, "Shuang'er, get a basin of water to let Mianmian wash her face, look at her sweating profusely." ”

Ruan Mianmian snuggled into Zhou Yuning's arms, although the time spent together was short, she could feel her selfless maternal love for herself.

It's so warm! Ruan Mianmian, who has been an orphan for fifteen years, cherishes her mother-daughter fate with Zhou Yuning very much, and regards her as her own mother in her heart.

"Okay, just come back, wait for Sister Shuang'er to help you wash your face, my mother still has embroidery work to catch up."

"Mother, you rest, I woke up in the middle of the night last night and saw that the light in your house was still on, and you got up and worked at dawn today, you will burn your eyes."

"No, mother-in-law." Zhou Yuning stretched out her hand to sort out Ruan Mianmian's clothes, "You are a normal child, my mother wants to save some silver, you will be four years old after the Spring Festival, and it is time to enlighten." ”

"My mother wants to send me to school?" Ruan Mianmian hugged Zhou Yuning's thigh and shook her little head in protest, "I don't want it, I'm still young." ”

"It's not small, it's time to start at the age of three, it's been delayed for a year." Zhou Yuning picked up Ruan Mianmian casually, "It seems to have been a little heavier recently." ”

"Well, I eat a lot." Ruan Mianmian patted her stomach and agreed.

Ruan Mianmian said that she secretly complained in her heart, she had eaten a lot, but she didn't have any meat in her stomach for many days.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and if she couldn't bear it any longer, she would soon have meat to eat.

To hell with any weight loss and dieting. The world is the biggest, and the fragrant meat is really gluttonous when you think about it. There are also his favorite sweet desserts and snacks, Ruan Mianmian's saliva flowed out.

"Play by yourself for a while, my mother is busy." Zhou Yuning put Ruan Mianmian down.

Ruan Mianmian tugged on Zhou Yuning's sleeve: "Mother, grandfather said that someone will send you silver." ”

"Good, good, good, my mother is waiting for the silver." Zhou Yuning didn't take Ruan Mianmian's words at ease, after all, the Hou Mansion hadn't taken care of them at all in the past three years.

"Mianmian, this job will be handed over in a few days, and it's quite rushed, and my mother can't lose her trust."

"Okay." Ruan Mianmian could only let go.

Besides, after Ruan Mianmian left, the old marquis immediately went back to the backyard of Fu'an Hall to find Mrs. Ruan.

"And such a thing?" Mrs. Ruan was surprised when she heard what Ruan Geng said, "According to you, the third daughter-in-law is living by embroidery?" ”

Mama Yun, who was waiting next to her, was stunned, and suddenly she showed a look of sudden realization.

"Old lady, a few days ago, I went to the big kitchen, and the ingredients for each room and courtyard were piled up, and I felt a little strange at the time, but I couldn't say it for a while, and now I think about it, there is no part of the three rooms at all."

"Not to mention the ingredients, the two of them haven't taken a penny from the Hou Mansion in the past three years." The old marquis was angry, "You go to check, I guess eighty percent of the three-room share has been taken away." ”

Old Madam Ruan and Mama Yun looked serious when they heard this, it stands to reason that the subordinates would never dare to take the share of the third room, but whether they were not taken away or taken away, Chen Wanyu, the eldest lady in charge, could not get rid of it.

"Old woman, I never interfere in the affairs of the house, but I hope you can be fair."

"Old man, do you suspect that I did it?"

"I've been married for decades, and I can still trust your character."

"That is, although I don't want to see her, she is the daughter-in-law of our Ruan family after all."

"You and I understand in our hearts about the third child, it was an accident, not Yun Ning's fault. It's been three years, it's time to let go, and even if you can't let go, you shouldn't be angry with innocent people. ”

Tears appeared in Old Madam Ruan's eyes: "Ah Yun has persuaded me, and I have thought about it a lot in the past few days. ”

"It's been more than three years, and it's time for you to pull yourself together." Ruan Geng patted the back of his wife's hand across the coffee table to show comfort, "Mianmian's child is very pitiful, so it is reasonable for us to treat him better." ”

"Old marquis, old lady, the slave has always been suspicious, and I don't know whether to ask or not." Mama Yun bowed down and said.

"Ah Yun, if you have anything to say, you and I are nominally masters and servants, but in fact we have been together for decades, and Master Hou and I have long regarded you as family."

"Do you know about the relocation of the third lady and the little son, old lady?"

Old Madam Ruan thought about it and vaguely remembered: "At that time, I instructed that Qi'er's 'Yan Lang Xuan' should be kept as it was. The next day, the eldest daughter-in-law said that Yun Ning took the initiative to change her residence. ”

"You know about changing accommodations." Mama Yun paused for a moment, "Does the old lady know where the third room lives now?" ”

"By the way, where does that little guy live?" Ruan Geng remembered Ruan Mianmian's expression and softened.

"The old marquis, the old lady, the third lady and the little prince have moved to the fence."

"How did you move there?" Old Madam Ruan's eyes were half-squinted, and those who knew her well knew that this was a precursor to her anger.

Ruan Geng was very puzzled: "Fence down? What place? Do we have this yard in our house? ”

"Did the old marquis forget? When the eldest lord and his brothers were young, they made mistakes and were punished and confined in the courtyard. Mama Yun reminded.

"Oh, you mean the three cabins." Ruan Geng remembered.

"It was the three small cabins, and later the third master ordered to surround the bamboo fence, and it became a separate courtyard, and it was also named the fence residence."

The old marquis and his wife looked at each other, and the fence was in the backyard, which was the most remote corner of the entire Hou Mansion.

In order to punish his sons and let them cultivate their minds, Ruan Geng specially built several wooden houses, and everything in them was arranged in the style of ordinary poor people.

After many years, the fence has not been repaired, so you can imagine how dilapidated and old it is.

Mama Yun muttered to herself, "Is it the third lady's own meaning to move to the fence?" ”

"Old woman, I'll leave this matter to you." Ruan Geng frowned and ordered at Old Madam Ruan, "Don't say anything else, you first send over the share of the three years owed to the third room, Mianmian said that Yun Ning embroidered day and night, and her eyes were about to be burned." ”

"Mama Yun, it's been ten years since I changed my clothes and dressed, maybe someone has forgotten all the rules of the Hou Mansion, it's time for us to mention something."
