Chapter 191: Prevention Before It Happens
Ruan Mianmian had a serious face, where was she still a cute and cute little milk dumpling with a plain smile, and Mama Yun, who loved to tease her, didn't dare to speak when she saw this.
"Grandmother, what is Gu Lingan's relationship with him?" Ruan Mianmian's first sentence hit the nail on the head.
Old Madam Ruan was stunned for a moment and then looked displeased: "The matter of the adult has nothing to do with it, I want to know why Yun Ning didn't come to ask." ”
Without thinking about it, Mrs. Ruan concluded that Zhou Yuning asked Ruan Mianmian to inquire about the news.
"I woke up in the morning and came over directly, I didn't eat breakfast, and I haven't seen my mother today." Ruan Mianmian quietly defended Zhou Yuning.
Finding that Old Madam Ruan's gaze turned to her, Jiu'er hurriedly nodded to indicate that what Ruan Mianmian said was true.
There is nothing to hide about this, even if Jiu'er lied for Ruan Mianmian, it is not difficult for Old Madam Ruan to find out.
Seeing that Old Madam Ruan's expression eased instantly, Jiu'er didn't react until this time.
The county lord is so tall! Xiao Nantuanzi got up early in the morning and specially avoided the third lady and went straight to Fu'an Hall, just to show that what she asked and said was all her own thoughts, and it had nothing to do with her mother, Zhou Yunning.
"The Gu family has a life-saving grace for your father, Gu Lingan's father is on his deathbed, she is your father's sister-in-law, only second." Old Madam Ruan emphasized the last four words in an accentuated tone.
Ruan Mianmian's mind turned, it seems that what her grandmother said must have been emphasized by her scumbag father after she came back last night. Since he said so, no matter whether what he said is true or not, Gu Lingan must stay in the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and she is now alone.
"Mianmian, you have a noble status, and you are the only concubine of our Ruan family, no one can surpass you." Old Madam Ruan stretched out her hand and pulled Ruan Mianmian, who was sitting next to her, into her arms.
"I know my grandmother loves me the most." Ruan Mianmian rubbed in Old Man Ruan's arms.
Mama Yun patted her chest and said with a smile: "It turns out that the little county lord is worried about falling out of favor, and he scared the slave maid with a tense face just now." ”
"I'm not afraid of falling out of favor, outsiders are always outsiders. In the past, Orchid Garden was like this, and now Orchid Garden is also like this. Ruan Mianmian turned around and said.
Old Madam Ruan frowned lightly when she heard this, whether the little milk dumpling was intentional or unintentional, this reminded her.
"Mama Yun, yesterday Ruan Qi said that the Gu girl was married?"
"Yes, her father died of illness a year ago, and her life's events have been delayed." Mama Yun has followed Mrs. Ruan for many years and knows what she is thinking.
Old Madam Ruan said casually: "Then we have to wait for two years." ”
Ruan Mianmian smiled and said casually: "Fortunately, Orchid Yuan is a little far away from Mo Lizhai. ”
Hearing this, Old Madam Ruan and Mama Yun glanced at each other, and the words of the little milk dumpling reminded them.
Although Gu Lingan is Ruan Qi's sister-in-law, her age is close to that of several grandchildren, and the other three of the four boys are almost old enough to be said to be relatives, except for Ruan Xiao.
Old Madam Ruan frowned and asked, "Mama Yun, do you remember the rules of our house?" ”
"The rules set by the old marquis, the slaves and maids naturally remember that their relatives and irrelevant people are not allowed to go into the grinding fast to disturb the sons."
"Well, let's take the time to pass on a message."
Ruan Mianmian lowered her head slightly, the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer, she deliberately reminded her grandmother that it was not appropriate for Gu Ling'an to live in Anhou Mansion, and I believed that her old man would think carefully about how to place her.
The little milk dumpling took Mrs. Ruan's hand and added casually: "Speaking of which, although a Gu girl is about the same age as her brothers, she is still a generation." ”
Hearing this, Old Madam Ruan frowned again, and felt more and more that it was inappropriate for Gu Ling'an to live in the mansion, and she sent it away as soon as possible.
"Mama Yun, when you pass on my words to Ruan Qi later, you will say that Miss Gu is just his sister-in-law."
Listening to Mrs. Ruan's special emphasis on the word "his", Mama Yun immediately understood.
Ruan Mianmian also understood that what her grandmother meant was that she took in Gu Lingan only because of Ruan Qi's relationship, and she had nothing to do with the rest of the Ruan family.
No matter what the purpose of this Gu girl came, Ruan Mianmian was taking precautions.
Yesterday, she was immersed in the joy of Ruan Qi's return and didn't think about it, but now she was repeatedly reminded by the little milk dumpling, and Mrs. Ruan suddenly realized that she had ignored many details.
The goal was achieved, and under the pretext that she wanted to go back for breakfast, Ruan Mianmian got up and said goodbye.
After leaving Fu'an Hall, Ruan Mianmian had a tense face as when she came.
"Does the county lord have something on his mind?" Jiu'er couldn't help but ask.
"Sister Jiu'er, if he doesn't come back, my mother and I can live well."
"He's back, won't you and the Third Lady be better off?"
"I don't think so." Ruan Mianmian was a little worried, hoping that she really thought too much.
Back in the smoke cage courtyard, Ruan Mianmian took Jiu'er towards the hall, and from a distance, he saw Zhou Yuning coming from the direction of the bedroom, and Ruan Qi coming from the direction of the study, and the two met head-on.
Stopping suddenly, Ruan Mianmian took Jiu'er to retreat behind the tree and watched quietly.
Zhou Yuning greeted him with a smile on his face, not knowing what to say, Ruan Qi responded a few words and turned around and walked in the direction of Ruan Mianmian.
Avoiding seemed too deliberate, Ruan Mianmian simply pretended not to know and continued to move forward.
Seeing the little milk dumplings carved in pink and jade, Ruan Qi still liked it, but thinking of her ignorance of etiquette and everyone's doting on her, he couldn't help but feel inexplicably tired of it.
The corners of Ruan Mianmian's mouth hooked up a sneer, a smart child like her, even if Ruan Qi was just a look, she could detect his dislike for herself. It's okay, if you look at each other and hate each other, you don't have to think about it.
Half a step back, Ruan Mianmian moved to the side of the road to make way, but she didn't expect Ruan Qi to stop when she walked up to her.
"Don't you know you're my daughter?"
"What if you know? Don't know what? Ruan Mianmian asked lightly without raising her head.
Ruan Qi became more and more unhappy: "I really don't know how your mother taught you?" ”
"I can't raise my godfather." After Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, she turned around and walked past Ruan Qi.
"Stop me." Ruan Qi raised her voice.
Ruan Mianmian stopped but didn't look back: "I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father for a day, why do you accuse my mother?" You ask yourself, even if you don't owe me, don't you owe your mother? What qualifications do you have to put on a face with our mother? ”
Zhou Yuning saw their father and daughter bumping into each other in the distance, and found that they didn't look right, so she walked over anxiously.
Ruan Mianmian left Ruan Qi and rushed towards Zhou Yuning with a smiling face, when she saw her baby daughter smiling, Zhou Yuning breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help but glance at Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi's face was not very good, and he snorted coldly at Zhou Yuning and strode away.
Ruan Mianmian didn't ignore the bitterness that flashed on her mother's face, but she pretended not to see the change of topic.
