Chapter 197: The Old Marquis's Temptation
Ruan Mianmian was a little curious, she herself often went in and out of her grandfather's study, in the past she occasionally met her uncle in the study, but now that he is not in the mansion, who could that person be?
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Ruan Mianmian blurted out: "Is the second uncle inside?" β
"The county lord really guessed right." Ah Dong became more and more surprised.
Ruan Mianmian chuckled and turned around and left: "Then I'll come back later." β
The door of the study suddenly opened, and Ruan Zhu walked out: "Mianmian." β
Hearing this, Ruan Mianmian turned his head: "Second uncle." β
"Your grandfather let you in." Ruan Zhu walked over and said mildly with a smile on his face.
"Second uncle go in together?" Ruan Mianmian stretched out her hand and made a gesture of please.
"I'm done with my grandfather, I have other things, you can go in."
"Oh." Ruan Mianmian blinked her eyes, looking ignorant, like an innocent little doll, "That second uncle walks slowly." β
Ruan Zhu bowed slightly and strode away, and Ruan Mianmian rushed into the study with a smoke.
Jiu'er stood guard in front of the door of the study, and Ah Dong stepped forward after Ruan Mianmian entered, and closed the door from the outside.
Ruan Geng, who was sitting behind the bookcase, heard footsteps and looked up: "How can you be like a monkey, you are the county lord, can't you be more stable?" β
"The county lord has to be more stable in front of people, but he can be unstable now." Ruan Mianmian climbed onto the chair in front of the bookcase and knelt down and propped her hands on the desk, "Grandfather has something to do with the second uncle?" β
"Tell your second uncle to do some things before." Ruan Geng put down the pen in his hand.
"Isn't it doing well?" Ruan Mianmian figured out his thoughts from Ruan Geng's expression.
Ruan Geng didn't answer immediately and was silent, and only said after a while, "Hmm." β
"That's good." Ruan Mianmian grinned.
"What's good?" Ruan Geng glanced at the little milk dumpling.
"With the help of the second uncle, my grandfather doesn't have to work too hard."
Ruan Geng looked at Ruan Mianmian, and saw that she looked sincere, if an ordinary little doll said this, he wouldn't think much about it, but he would have to think more about it if it came from Ruan Mianmian's mouth.
Ruan Mianmian saw Ruan Geng staring at him and simply met his gaze: "Why does grandfather look at me like this?" β
"Your dad is back."
"So what?"
"You go in and out of my study, so you should know what it means to go in and out of this study?"
"It means grandfather's trust." Ruan Mianmian slumped into the chair, "Grandfather thinks whoever is suitable is whoever he is, and it has nothing to do with me." β
"Do you really think so?"
"That's right, so you don't have to worry about me."
Ruan Mianmian was very calm, and Ruan Geng couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard it.
"Mianmian, haven't you thought about your father?"
"Grandfather said this strangely." Ruan Mianmian said this sentence and said no more.
Ruan Geng is the person who knows Ruan Mianmian best, and in just a few words, he can see that Ruan Qi is dispensable in the eyes of his little granddaughter.
Heyββ, speaking of which, the father and daughter are really alike, not only in appearance but also in temperament, they are so stubborn.
After thinking about it, Ruan Geng persuaded and said, "Other things will be put aside for the time being, I heard that you haven't called him dad yet." β
Ruan Mianmian raised her eyebrows slightly, "I think he shouldn't care." β
"How could he not care? You are his only daughter. β
Ruan Mianmian replied: "I am my mother's daughter. β
"Blood ties can't be changed?"
"Yes, it's friendly or it varies from person to person." Ruan Mianmian rolled her eyes, "Grandfather, you don't have to beat around the bush, he doesn't like me, I don't like him, it's as simple as that." β
"You're a good boy, and your dad needs time to get to know."
"He doesn't need to understand me, he just needs to understand his mother."
Ruan Geng finally heard the crux of the problem: "It's because of your mother." β
"I don't need him, whether I recognize him or not depends on whether my mother needs him as a husband."
"Outsiders can't interfere in the affairs of husband and wife, you are still young and don't understand this." Ruan Geng still felt sorry for Ruan Qi to speak for him, "After many years of separation, they also need to adapt to each other." β
Ruan Mianmian was silent, she really didn't understand how to get along with husband and wife, and what her grandfather said seemed to make sense.
"We'll see." Ruan Mianmian thought for a long time and said such a sentence.
Ruan Geng nodded and continued to persuade: "After all, he is your father, and you are his child after all." β
"If that Gu Lingan hadn't appeared, maybe I would have given him some respect for the sake of him giving birth to me."
Ruan Mianmian made it clear that he doubted the relationship between Gu Lingan and Ruan Qi, Ruan Geng originally wanted to fool a few words to cover up for his son, but he suddenly felt a little weak in the cold eyes of the little milk dumpling.
"Your father said that Gu Lingan is just his sister-in-law."
"He said?" Ruan Mianmian looked at Ruan Geng and couldn't help but smile, "There's nothing wrong with what grandfather said, he said, let's just listen for the time being." β
This little clever ghost, Ruan Geng shook his head lightly: "I really can't hide anything from you." Tell me, what the hell are you up to? β
"I just want to make sure of my grandfather."
"Tell me about it."
"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask my grandfather, does the Ruan family have only wives who don't marry concubines and don't have a room, and if they don't have a room?"
"Naturally, it counts, and the descendants of the Ruan family must abide by it." Ruan Geng did not hesitate at all.
"Okay." Ruan Mianmian's eyes flashed, "What if it goes against it?" β
"Expelled from the Ruan family after the family law is disposed of."
"Grandfather must remember those words today."
"Mianmian, is it your father?" With Ruan Geng's understanding of Ruan Mianmian, her words are by no means groundless.
Xiao Milk Tuanzi smiled brightly: "Grandfather don't have to worry too much, I just take precautions to understand first, of course, if you feel the need to mention someone, that's your business." β
"Alright, I know what you mean." Ruan Geng's hanging heart is half of it.
Ruan Mianmian couldn't get used to it, but she was still willing to give Ruan Qi a chance, not so that she could have a father, but so that her mother could have a husband, and she would mention it through her grandfather's mouth, if he couldn't figure it out, it would be no wonder to her.
The ancestors and grandchildren are still in the old habits, one person holds a book in their hands, and chats with or without a pair while reading the book, but the book involves all aspects, human feelings and even court disputes.
That night, on the third day of Ruan Qi's return home, he finally rested in Zhou Yuning's house.
Ruan Mianmian was silent for a long time after hearing Jiu'er's report, and let out a long sigh.
Whether Ruan Qi wanted to understand or Zhou Yuning used some means Ruan Mianmian didn't pay attention to, but her heart was like a mirror, and her mother still couldn't let go of her feelings for her scumbag.
Since this is the case, Ruan Mianmian decided not to sit idly by, she thought about helping Zhou Yuning.
Early in the morning, Shuang'er went to the garden according to Ruan Mianmian's instructions and chatted with the little maid, and when Fang'er, the maid of the Orchid Garden, passed by, she accidentally heard what she said.
