Chapter 39: Exposing Hypocrisy

"Grandmother, I'm not going." Ruan Mianmian, who walked to Mrs. Ruan's side, emphasized again.

"Mianmian, the opportunity is rare, you don't have to worry, Ruolan can take care of each other with your sisters as companions." Chen Wanyu patiently persuaded her.

"I have four older brothers, but I don't have any older sisters or younger sisters."

"Mianmian, Ruolan has been in the house since she was a child, and she will grow up with you......."

"Her surname is Qin, my surname is Ruan, our three rooms and her are not even relatives, and she and I are not sisters." Ruan Mianmian raised her head and asked with a smile, "Grandmother, am I right?" ”

"Yes, Mianmian is right." Old Madam Ruan glared at Chen Wanyu angrily, "Eldest daughter-in-law, I don't think you understand as well as a three-year-old doll." ”

Chen Wanyu knew that she had lost her words and said with a smile: "Old lady, I lost my words. The Ruan family finally has a young lady, and the poetry meeting of the county lord of Jingwang is a big scene, and I think it is just right for Mianmian to show her face. ”

"Auntie, you just said that I represent the face of the Ding'an Hou Mansion. I have to weigh whether I want to go or not, not to mention that she didn't give me a post. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yuning suddenly realized that if Ruan Mianmian went, not to mention his self-surrender identity, he would become Qin Ruolan's foil, no wonder it felt wrong.

is such a transparent little milk dumpling, Ruan Laofu recalled that she was just right to mischievous, messing around, and coquettish, and it was not surprising that such an elf doll could see through it.

Old Madam Ruan nodded again and again: "Listen, listen, although Mianmian is small, her heart is bright." ”

"Besides, since it's a poetry club, you always have to sacrifice ugliness when you are present." Ruan Mianmian looked at Chen Wanyu with a smile, "Does the eldest aunt want me to make a fool of myself?" ”

The little milk dumplings are really too smart, and they react faster than adults, and the eyes of the people present look at Chen Wanyu differently, and everyone knows that she is not at ease.

Chen Wanyu reluctantly smiled: "Oh, it's because I didn't think about it, and I didn't think that Mianmian was not enlightened for a while." ”

Ruan Mianmian's tone was disdainful: "As for letting me show my face, there are many ways, why bother with the poetry meeting of King Jing's Mansion." If this is the case, the Ding'an Hou Mansion will be embarrassed and embarrassed. ”

"That's right." Old Madam Ruan looked at Ruan Mianmian with a face full of relief, "Regarding Mianmian's affairs, I will arrange it with the old marquis." ”

Walking in vain made people lose face by robbing Bai, and it was also seen that they were uneasy and kind, although Mrs. Ruan didn't care, but the smile on Chen Wanyu's face couldn't be hung up.

Qin Ruolan was intuitively ignored from the moment she entered the door, and even her cousins never greeted her.

All eyes were focused on Ruan Mianmian, so Qin Ruolan took the initiative to step forward just now, but she didn't expect it to become more and more embarrassed.

I thought that my aunt Chen Wanyu could get some face back, but I didn't expect it to be even more embarrassing, Qin Ruolan thought about finding an excuse to leave.

"Miss, the dim sum is heated." Shuang'er walked to Ruan Mianmian's side and whispered.

Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "Grandmother, you came by chance to taste the dim sum made in the imperial dining room in the palace." ”

"Mianmian, are you fooling Grandmother Ruan?" Qin Ruolan was about to leave, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come.

"Nope." Ruan Mianmian said innocently with a wink of big eyes.

Qin Ruolan pretended to be joking: "Don't you tell me the truth, where did you get the dim sum?" Dare to lie that it is a dim sum from the imperial dining room. ”

Ruan Xiaozheng wanted to open his mouth to confirm for Ruan Mianmian, but when he found that her little hand was waving at him behind him, he shut up knowingly.

Old Madam Ruan looked at Ruan Mianmian suspiciously, but obviously waited for her explanation.

"Grandmother taste it first, isn't that the smell?" Ruan Mianmian instructed the maids to put snacks on the table.

Old Madam Ruan got up and came to the table with the help of Mama Yun, and the other people also gathered around.

"Wow, the dim sum looks so exquisite." Gu Qingrou exclaimed.

"Good looks may not be delicious." Chen Wanyu said critically, "The things in the imperial dining room are all beautiful. ”

"It's quite like it." Qin Ruolan smiled at Ruan Mianmian with ill intentions, "We haven't tasted the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room, and Grandmother Ruan has eaten it many times." ”

"Grandmother, please." Ruan Mianmian motioned to Mama Yun to put the dim sum on a small plate and bring it to Old Madam Ruan.

After taking a gentle bite, Mrs. Ruan ate the whole soft and glutinous round snack into her mouth and chewed it carefully.

"That's right, that's the smell, coconut-flavored glutinous rice balls, which is the taste of dim sum made in the imperial dining room." Old Madam Ruan was surprised and delighted, "Mianmian, where did the dim sum come from?" ”

"It was sent by my little brother." Ruan Mianmian replied.

Hearing this, the people present, including Old Madam Ruan, all turned their eyes to Ruan Xiao.

"Xiao'er, dim sum is a reward from the nobles in the palace." Gu Qingrou asked in surprise.

"No, no, no." Ruan Xiao waved his hand again and again, "The dim sum was given to Mianmian by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Oh! Everyone came back to their senses, by the way, Ruan Mianmian has always called Ruan Xiao "Fourth Brother", and the little brother in her mouth is actually His Royal Highness the Prince.

Qin Ruolan's face appeared in Li Yu's mind, and then she couldn't help but show a look of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Why does everyone like Ruan Mianmian? Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was high up and full of arrogance, treated her differently.

If there was no Ruan Mianmian, the favor of Ruan's grandmother, the doting of his brothers, the love of his uncle, including the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, etc., would not belong to him.

Qin Ruolan looked at Ruan Mianmian, and the hatred in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

The others didn't notice, only Ruan Zhao noticed, and pain and disappointment flashed across his face.

The things in the imperial dining room were naturally much better than those outside, but they still failed to satisfy Ruan Mianmian's picky appetite, so they only got a good evaluation.

Chen Wanyu and Qin Ruolan didn't dare to stay any longer, so they found an excuse to retire at will.

Although it was none of their business, but with such a mother, Ruan Jin and Ruan Zhao felt that their faces were gloomy, and the two of them also left first.

Ruan Mianmian wanted to keep it, but she was not happy to keep the eldest brother and the second brother, so she forgot it.

"By the way, fourth brother, why didn't the third brother come with you?" Ruan Xiao and Ruan Chen are not far from the pole, so Ruan Mianmian has this question.

"I came out of the palace and went straight to you."

"Chen'er is not in the house." Gu Qingrou heard the words of the two children, "He went out to visit friends with his father today." ”

"Oh, I see." Ruan Mianmian nodded slightly.

suddenly found that he had not seen his second uncle Ruan Zhu so far. I heard that he loves books and is a nerd, and he doesn't care about anything but books.

Such a person actually took his third brother to visit friends today, and Ruan Mianmian became curious about Ruan Zhu.

"Mianmian, don't you like to eat dim sum the most, eat more." Gu Qingrou took Ruan Mianmian's hand.

Ruan Xiao shouted: "Mother, you are too partial. ”

Gu Qingrou led Ruan Mianmian to the table, picked up the chopsticks and stuffed the snack into her mouth before turning back: "Where am I eccentric?" ”

"You're just looking at Mianmian now, and you don't care about me anymore."

"When you become such a soft and cute female doll as Mianmian, I will only care about you." Gu Qingrou rolled her eyes and replied.

Ruan Mianmian had a little heart in her mouth, and her speech was a little vague, and she kindly suggested: "Fourth brother, why don't you come to a man and dress up as a woman." ”

The people present burst into laughter, Ruan Xiao couldn't cry or laugh, but it's really good to have a sister!
