"You mean I died at the gate of the Marquis Mansion." Zhou Yunning muttered absentmindedly, "Didn't Aqi come back even after I left?"
"I don't know if daddy has come back, but I don't want to die, and I don't want my mother to die either." Ruan Mianmian hugged Zhou Yunning tightly.
Zhou Yunning raised her sleeves to help Ruan Mianmian wipe away her tears: "No, don't cry, mother will protect you."
Ruan Mianmian said stubbornly and confidently: "I want to live well, I want to protect my mother, and we will wait for my father to come back together."
Zhou Yunning understood. That dream made Ruan Mianmian enlightened. The three-year-old girl could bravely straighten her back and face the reality. What about herself?
"My dear." Zhou Yuning hugged Ruan Mianmian, "It's my mother's fault. It was my mother's fault."
"Mom, believe me, you must believe me."
"Okay, mother believes in you."
Ruan Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief. The most difficult level was finally passed. She would definitely protect her mother filially for the original owner, take back everything that belonged to her, and let the evildoers get the punishment they deserve.
Thinking of this, the heavy feeling in Ruan Mianmian's heart, which was as heavy as a stone, suddenly disappeared.
On the surface, the farce between Qin Ruolan and Ruan Mianmian is just a fight between children. In fact, the first room is suffering, the second room is watching a movie, and the third room has a vague tendency to rise.
After a few days of recuperation, Ruan Mianmian was fine. She found that being an innocent and cute little dumpling seemed to be quite good.
The afternoon sun hung high in the sky, and Ruan Mianmian ran out of her cabin and picked a handful of wild flowers and grasses.
Sitting leisurely in the shade of a tree to enjoy the coolness, the scent of flowers in your hands attracted a few small butterflies to dance around Ruan Mianmian.
"Little Master, can you play by yourself for a while?" Shuang'er walked out of the house with a basket in her hand.
"Sister Shuang'er, where are you going?"
"The sewing work that the third lady worked out all night will be sent to others today. I will exchange some money to buy some daily necessities."
Ruan Mianmian rushed to Shuang'er and stood on tiptoes to pull out the embroidery in the basket and look at it: "My mother's hands are so skillful and her embroidery is so good."
"Yes, the third lady's embroidery skills are superb. I overheard the noble ladies chatting in the embroidery workshop, saying that the embroidery style is similar to that of Jiangnan. No one doubts that the embroidery is a tribute."
Ruan Mianmian's round eyes wandered, their livelihood depended entirely on their mother's hands.
Her mother had this unique skill, Ruan Mianmian saw the business opportunity, and she began to have a vague idea in her mind.
"The third lady is taking a rest. No one will look at you when I leave."
Great, I finally got the chance. Ruan Mianmian was excited but pretended to be well-behaved: "Don't worry, I won't disturb mother's nap."
"Then you can't leave our yard. I'll be back before the sun goes down to cook."
"knew."
Ruan Mianmian waved her little hand towards Shuang'er with a smile on her face. She said "I got it" but she didn't promise not to go out.
Watching Shuang'er's back disappear, Ruan Mianmian turned around and ran towards the back of the house.
There was a hole in the fence behind the house, and adults couldn't get through it, but Ruan Mianmian, the little girl, had no problem getting in and out.
Along the way, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but sigh: It is indeed the Ding'an Marquis' Mansion, the Yuntai Pavilion is quite luxurious, and the layout of the garden is also very exquisite.
Thinking about the Liluo residence where the three of them live, it is in sharp contrast to this mansion. It is simply out of place.
It was relatively hot at noon, and most people were resting indoors in the afternoon, making Nuo Da's garden look empty.
"Aim——!" The sudden cry broke the silence and attracted Ruan Mianmian's attention.
Looking left and right, I discovered that the sound was coming from the left. The path there was separated from the path here by dense bushes.
There was a large gap between the two shrubs, and Ruan Mianmian, relying on her small stature, crawled on the ground and crawled through it like a puppy.
Hey! Ruan Mianmian crawled over and came face to face with a big white cat that was all white.
The big white cat with a round head and a long fluffy tail looked quite cute. Ruan Mianmian grinned widely. She had always liked small animals, especially cats.
"Meow meow, what are you doing?" Ruan Mianmian asked, blinking.
The big white cat hunched over and stared at Ruan Mianmian warily. Perhaps it sensed her kindness and quickly relaxed.
Ruan Mianmian slowly stretched out her hand. The big white cat took half a step back and then did not move back. Her little hand gently stroked its back.
After a while, Ruan Mianmian sat under the shade of a tree, with the big white cat curled up in her arms. One person and one cat got along very harmoniously.
It was a lie that Qin Ruolan closed her door to think about her past, and it was true that she didn't want to go out because she was embarrassed. But after staying in her Orchid Garden for several days in a row, she couldn't sit still.
It was noon now, and there was probably no one outside. Qin Ruolan couldn't help but take Xiao Xi out for a walk.
After Xiao Xi was beaten, she still walked with a limp for a few days. However, the eldest lady Chen Wanyu secretly rewarded her with many things and trusted her even more, and told her to take good care of Qin Ruolan.
Qin Ruolan was in a good mood after going out. She hummed a little tune softly, jumped up and down, and picked a flower and put it on.
"Miss Cousin, look." Xiao Xi's sharp eyes spotted Ruan Mianmian from a distance.
Qin Ruolan's smile disappeared from the corner of her mouth: "It's so unlucky, why did you meet the little mute again?"
"Leave him alone, let's go." Xiao Xi couldn't help but touch her buttocks, but it still hurt.
"No, don't disturb him, let's go over quietly and have a look."
Qin Ruolan tiptoed along the path and walked in the direction of Ruan Mianmian. Upon seeing this, Xiaoxi quickly followed.
When they came to the big tree not far from Ruan Mianmian, they happened to see her standing up. The two of them hid behind the big tree without saying a word.
"Meow meow, it's time for me to go back. I'll be worried if mother wakes up and doesn't see you. It's time for you to go back to find your master."
Ruan Mianmian picked up the big white cat with one hand and stroked its round head with the other hand before putting it down.
The big white cat was clean and had a collar around its neck. It obviously had an owner, or else Ruan Mianmian really wanted to take it back to Liluo.
"Aim——!" the big white cat barked as if it understood human nature.
Ruan Mianmian squatted down again, staring at each other reluctantly.
After thinking about it, Ruan Mianmian rolled up his trouser legs and pulled down his socks to expose his ankles.
There was an anklet with two small bells on it. Ruan Mianmian took out the bell, took off the big white cat's collar, hung the bells on it, and then put the collar on it.
"Meow meow, this is a gift for you."
The big white cat rubbed Ruan Mianmian's hand, she patted its head and left.
Seeing Ruan Mianmian walking away and Qin Ruolan coming out from behind the big tree, she quickly reached out and hugged the big white cat: "Xue'er."
The big white cat struggled for a while and heard Qin Ruolan calling its name. He looked back and maybe he recognized her, so he let her hold her after barking.
"Miss Cousin, what did the little mute give Xue'er?"
Xiao Xi was very curious, and the master and servant could not see clearly because they were far apart.
Qin Ruolan didn't answer and held up Xue'er's neck. The master and servant saw the little bell Ruan Mianmian gave it to her.
"Bell." Xiao Xi looked disgusted, "I know the third room can't come up with anything good." This chapter has been completed!
