Listening to their conversation, Shuang'er remembered something: "I saw the third lady talking to someone from a distance. Her back looked like a dog walking in stone. Something was wrong with the third lady when she came back."
In retrospect, she also felt that something was wrong with her mother after she came back from the day of leaving the mansion. Ruan Mianmian felt clear in her heart. On that day, her grandmother summoned the servants of the mansion on her first day in charge of the house, probably because she saw Shi Sigou.
Ruan Mianmian said with a sullen face: "Sister Jiu'er, hurry up and investigate Shi Sigou's matter. Sister Shuang'er, keep an eye on me. When mother comes back, please invite her over. I'll see her if I have anything to do."
"Yes." Jiu'er and Shuang'er both accepted the order and retreated.
Ruan Mianmian stuffed her wrinkled belly under the pillow. She originally wanted to wait for Zhou Yuning to come back and check her voice, but she didn't expect that tiredness came over her and she fell asleep sitting down.
When Zhou Yuning walked into the room, she couldn't help but panic when she saw Ruan Mianmian sitting on the edge of the bed and falling asleep. She quickly walked over and hugged the little breast dumpling.
Zhou Yunning called out: "Mianmian, Mianmian."
"Mother." Ruan Mianmian opened her eyes slightly and raised the corners of her mouth, "Sleepy."
After hearing Ruan Mianmian's answer, Zhou Yunning breathed a sigh of relief. She was most afraid that Little Nipple Dumpling would fall asleep again.
"Okay, then you can sleep a little longer." Zhou Yunning gently laid her baby daughter flat on the bed.
Ruan Mianmian fell asleep quickly. Zhou Yuning pulled the quilt to cover her, while he moved a chair and sat on the bedside to do needlework.
She didn't know how long she had been here, but when Ruan Mianmian opened her eyes, she found that it was already night. Turning her little body sideways, she saw Zhou Yunning sitting in front of the bed, busy.
The lights were dim, and her mother was by her side. The atmosphere in the room was very warm, and Ruan Mianmian felt the deep maternal love.
Through the light, you can see that Zhou Yunning's red wedding dress in front is full of exquisite embroidery, and the back has been embroidered. At this moment, she is lowering her head to embroider the pattern on the sleeves.
How long had it passed? My mother must have stayed up late again to embroider so fast. She had promised herself never to stay up late again. Was it to deal with Shi Sigou's blackmail?
A chill flashed in Ruan Mianmian's eyes. She was law-abiding to her core. Even if Qin Ruolan and Chen Wanyu were killed so far, she had not thought about killing them. But now for the sake of her mother, she had murderous intentions for the first time. Maybe she would let those
It’s not bad if the fourth dog turns into a dead dog.
However, we should wait until all the details about Jiu'er are found out. Ruan Mianmian had a hunch that Shi Sigou was behind someone who was adding fuel to the fire, so this time she would no longer be merciful.
Ruan Mianmian's eyes fell on Zhou Yunning's face, which was concentrated on embroidery. She couldn't help but smile and changed her mind. It would be better to talk to her mother later.
"Mother." Ruan Mianmian pouted dissatisfiedly.
"Mianmian, you're awake." Zhou Yunning immediately put down what she was doing and stood up, "How are you? Do you feel any discomfort?"
"No discomfort." Ruan Mianmian raised his head slightly, "Can't I wake you up again?"
Zhou Yunning turned around and ordered: "Shuang'er, get some water for the princess to wash her face, and also tell the kitchen to deliver the meals quickly."
Ruan Mianmian sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and Zhou Yuning walked over and took her into his arms.
"You, your body is still too weak." Zhou Yunning casually helped Ruan Mianmian retie the two small knots on his head, "I'm not unable to wake you up, but I always say 'I'm so sleepy, please sleep a little longer' when I wake you up."
"That's good." Ruan Mianmian sat on Zhou Yunning's lap and hugged her waist, "Mother, are you worried again?"
Zhou Yuning sighed softly: "Everyone is saying that you are smart, promising, and blessed by the Holy Spirit. Although I am also happy, I still hope in my heart that you are just a three-year-old baby. You must not get into any trouble with tiredness."
"Mom, don't worry, I will grow up. In one month, Mianmian will be four years old." Hearing her mother's worry, Ruan Mianmian quickly changed the subject.
"Well, that's right, my Mianmian will be four years old soon."
The maids fetched water and Zhou Yun Ning personally washed Ruan Mianmian's face and hands, and brought some clothes to help her change.
When her mother wasn't paying attention, Ruan Mianmian secretly stuffed the object that was originally hidden under the pillow into her arms.
"Mother, come and have dinner with me."
"I ate a lot of food in the middle of the night, so don't eat too much, otherwise you won't be able to sleep."
"I'm hungry. Besides, if I eat too much or too little, I won't be able to fall asleep later. I'm already full."
Ruan Mianmian ate big mouthfuls, while Shuang'er served beside him somewhat absentmindedly.
Glancing at Shuang'er, Ruan Mianmian quietly said to Zhou Yunning when she wasn't paying attention: "I am responsible for everything. Just take good care of my mother."
Facing Ruan Mianmian's firm eyes, Shuang'er felt inexplicably at ease. She believed in the princess now more than she did before.
After eating, Ruan Mianmian looked up and saw Jiu'er looking outside the door.
Ruan Mianmian stood up and patted her belly and said, "I'm walking in the courtyard to eat. Mom doesn't have to accompany me anymore. Sister Jiu'er is with me, so it's okay."
Ruan Mianmian walked to the threshold and looked back: "Sister Shuang'er, I'll give you a task: to help my mother rest. She is not allowed to embroider any more. Lighting the lamp will hurt her eyes."
"Yes, I obey," Shuang'er agreed.
Zhou Yunning looked at Ruan Mianmian's back and smiled. Her daughter had indeed grown up and would care about herself.
It was late at night, and Zhou Yunning was indeed sleepy, so she took a rest after tidying up with Shuang'er."
Ruan Mianmian walked into the courtyard, surrounded by silence. She looked up at the moon hanging high in the sky, and the cold moonlight falling all over the place.
Speaking of which, if my mother was still a college student in modern times, she was already a wife and mother in ancient times. What is even more sad is that if there is no miracle, she will die alone in her house.
Ruan Mianmian thought about this and secretly made up her mind, no, she would never let her mother waste her time and live a life without any interest.
Jiu'er saw Ruan Mianmian deep in thought, and she quietly accompanied him, waiting patiently for her to come back to her senses.
"Have you found anything?" Ruan Mianmian asked calmly, still looking at the moon in the sky.
"For the record, Princess Shi, after Shi Sigou and her son were kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion by the old lady, Grandma Shi was called to the mansion next door by the eldest lady. He spent all day in the casino, and a few days ago he even borrowed money from loan sharks to repay the gambling.
debt."
"So he was desperate and thought of some trick to pay off his gambling debt."
"The gambling debt was paid off a few days ago."
"Suddenly there is money? Where does it come from?"
"We haven't found out yet, but I'm afraid the princess will come back first because she's in a hurry." Jiu'er lowered his voice, "I'll go to the mansion next door to investigate later while it's dark."
Ruan Mianmian nodded: "Be careful in everything."
"Don't worry, I will be careful." Jiu'er stepped forward and said, "Princess, I will take you back to your house."
"I'll go back to the house by myself. You go ahead. I'm waiting for you to come back."
"Okay." Ruan Jiufei jumped up to the wall and soon his figure disappeared.
