Chapter 112: Back then
Ruan Mianmian didn't say a word, just stretched out her hand to Jiu'er, obviously asking her to return it quickly.
Jiu'er shook his head: "It will take at least another seven or eight years for you to use it." ”
"Isn't it just a belly-pocket?" Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but roll her eyes, "It's not me who wants to use it, that one is my mother's." ”
"The county lord is still messing around when he knows about it, and the third lady is really good, and the close-fitting clothes are not good."
Ruan Mianmian looked at Jiu'er with a resolute face and could only tell the truth: "Sister Jiu'er, my mother is crying at it, you can bring it to me and see what's special." ”
"Huh?" Jiu'er was stunned.
Looking at Ruan Mianmian's serious look, Jiu'er could see that the county lord was not fooling around, and she hurriedly handed over the objects in her hand.
Spread the belly-pocket on the bed, Ruan Mianmian looked down, Jiu'er came over and sat on the edge of the bed and looked down, the two were squeezed together and looked at it for a long time, and I couldn't see the reason.
"County Lord, are you mistaken? Nothing special, the third lady's craftsmanship is particularly good. Jiu'er pointed to the embroidery on it.
Ruan Mianmian was puzzled: "I can't be mistaken, my mother obviously shed tears at it." Could it be that this is some kind of love token between her and my scumbag father, so it looks sad? ”
"Possibly." Jiu'er nodded heavily.
"That's not right." Ruan Mianmian shook her head again and again after looking at it twice, "My mother hates this object very much." ”
Jiu'er looked at Ruan Mianmian in surprise: "County Lord, how did you see it?" ”
"You see, the crumpled one, ordinary people will definitely not be like this, especially my mother is such a particular person, it is impossible to make personal objects like this, unless she is like this."
Ruan Mianmian picked up her belly-pocket and imitated the posture of clenching her hands tightly, and spread it out on the bed again, and sure enough, the creases were the same as before.
"My mother hates this object, she is not sad." Ruan Mianmian carefully recalled Zhou Yuning's expression when she broke in, "Angry, aggrieved, helpless, and hateful." ”
The more Jiu'er listened, the more confused she became: "The third lady hates her underwear? How can it be? County Lord, you're talking too much. ”
Suddenly, the door was lightly slammed twice, and Ruan Mianmian quickly stuffed the underwear spread out on the bed back into the quilt.
"Third lady, let the slave come in and serve you."
"It's Sister Shuang'er." Ruan Mianmian signaled, and Jiu'er hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.
When she saw Jiu'er, Shuang'er was surprised: "Are you here?" What about the county lord? ”
"Sister Shuang'er, come in, I'm looking for you." Ruan Mianmian's voice came from inside.
After letting Shuang'er in, Jiu'er closed the door again.
Ruan Mianmian beckoned to Shuang'er: "Sister Shuang'er, come here." ”
"What about the Third Lady?" Frost looked around.
"My mother has gone to Fu'an Hall." Ruan Mianmian grabbed Shuang'er's hands who came closely, "Isn't my mother in a bad mood?" ”
Shuang'er turned her head sideways with a weak heart: "County master, the slave doesn't know." ”
"Look me in the eye and don't lie." Ruan Mianmian sat cross-legged on the bed, her waist straightened, her mouth pursed tightly, and she looked very serious.
Jiu'er patted Shuang'er on the shoulder: "Can't you still trust the county lord?" Look at Miss Lin, she can help with such a big thing. The third lady is the closest and most caring person to the county lord, you say, if she really encounters any trouble, she will have a way to solve it. ”
Ruan Mianmian nodded lightly, Jiu'er is becoming more and more reliable, she moves her mouth when she should do it, and she moves her mouth when she should move her mouth, and she is very satisfied.
After listening to Jiu'er's words, Shuang'er's expression was a little relaxed, and she hesitated to speak.
"Is it because of this?" Ruan Mianmian's hand reached into the quilt and took out the object.
Shuang'er was taken aback, and she couldn't help but nod at Ruan Mianmian's sharp eyes.
No longer hidden, Frost brought everything together.
When Ruan Mianmian was more than half a year old, he was once a thief, and instead of looting property, he took Zhou Yuning's underwear away.
Later, the thief swaggered to the door, and it turned out to be Shi Sigou, the son of the backyard steward Mama Shi.
Mama Shi is said to be a distant relative of Chen Wanyu, when the eldest lady was in charge, her son Shi Sigou hung a vacancy in charge of the garden, and the mother and son were also considered to have heads and faces among the people in the Ding'an Hou Mansion.
Shi Sigou blackmailed Zhou Yuning with intimate clothes to ask for money, and she had no choice but to take her jewelry or something.
Ruan Mianmian's long-standing doubts were solved when she heard this, her mother was also the third lady in the house, and in the years when she lived in the fence, they ended up in a situation where they had to rely on her needlework to survive, and it turned out that it was because of money that people were blackmailed.
"Couldn't the mother deal with it that day?" Ruan Mianmian frowned.
Shuang'er said hatefully: "Shi Sigou said that if he didn't give it, then he would go to the old lady and say that the third lady didn't follow the woman's way to seduce him, and this thing is evidence." ”
Ruan Mianmian nodded slowly, if this happened at that time, my mother was afraid that she would really not be able to tell.
"How much silver was given to him before it stopped?" Ruan Mianmian asked sharply.
"Two thousand pieces of silver were given at one time." Shuang'er was angry, "The third lady took all the jewelry, and I took out everything I could, and finally owed twenty taels of silver, and even took out my clothes." ”
Ruan Mianmian pointed to the belly pocket on the bed: "Have you redeemed this?" ”
Shuang'er nodded and shook her head, Jiu'er looked anxious: "What do you mean by this?" Exactly is it or isn't? Speak. ”
"It looks like this, but I clearly remember that the third lady burned it down after the redemption."
Ruan Mianmian said calmly: "So this is definitely not the one back then." ”
"I found that the third lady was wiping her tears just now, so I thought about finding the county lord to comfort her, and ran to Fu'an Hall, but Mama Yun said that you didn't go, so I rushed back again."
It turned out that Shuang'er really went to find herself, Ruan Mianmian nodded.
"Sister Jiu'er, check Shi Sigou immediately." After Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, she added cautiously, "This matter is about the reputation of my mother, don't let others know." ”
"The slave and maid will check it out for themselves." Jiu'er understood that the county lord's words meant to hide it from the rest of the Hou Mansion, including the old marquis and the old lady.
Shuang'er said what she knew: "Jiu'er, I heard that since the old lady took charge, Mama Shi and Shi Sigou have been kicked out of the Hou Mansion. ”
"If it's not in the Hou Mansion, that's better." A cold light flashed in Ruan Jiu's eyes, "County Lord, wouldn't it be better for the slave maid to let him never be able to open his mouth." ”
Jiu'er was so terrible at this moment, Shuang'er was so frightened that she retreated a few steps away from her.
Ruan Mianmian, Jiu'er is like a different person, and her whole body exudes a murderous aura, which can be regarded as Ruan Jiu's true nature exposed.
"Check it out first." Ruan Mianmian was very calm, "If he was just a Shi Sigou in the past, he wouldn't be so bold now." ”
"Does the county lord think that there is someone behind him?" Ruan Jiu's mind spun quite quickly.
Ruan Mianmian said lightly: "You will know if you check it." ”
