Ruan Zhao thought a lot before coming here. Looking back on the past, he found that he had been used by Qin Ruolan to deal with Ruan Mianmian. There were countless things big and small. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was wrong.
"I just overheard the conversation between Ruolan and her personal maid Xi'er, and I realized that she did it on purpose that day." Ruan Zhao took a deep breath and opened his eyes, "That day in the pavilion, she also deliberately planned on you pushing your mother.
But I couldn’t figure you out.”
"What do you mean when my second brother told me this?"
"I feel very sorry for you."
"What's wrong is that she is not you."
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have distrusted you, but instead trusted someone with scheming intentions." Ruan Zhao said sincerely.
"Do you want me to forgive you?"
"I should apologize if I make a mistake. It's my duty to tell you I'm sorry." Ruan Zhao paused for a moment and then smiled bitterly, "I know very well that you treat me differently from other brothers, but it's all my fault."
, it doesn’t matter if you forgive me or not.”
Ruan Mianmian was silent for a moment and then said slowly: "Second brother, if I say that I don't have any grudge against you in my heart, that would be a lie. If you can admit your mistakes in person, you are a brave man."
"I'm going to the academy tomorrow. After I said it, I feel relieved and can go back to the academy to study without worrying about those messy things."
"Let the past fade away slowly with time."
"Am I still your second brother?"
Ruan Mianmian didn't answer, she just touched the quilt with her hands and arranged the little clay figurines that Ruan Chen gave her one by one.
When Ruan Zhao came in, he saw Ruan Mianmian playing with clay figurines, but he didn't notice that it was the four brothers and Ruan Mianmian.
Looking into the clear eyes of Xiaonuituanzi, Ruan Zhao grinned widely.
"Here you go." He was hesitant at first but now he didn't hesitate at all. Ruan Zhao took something out of his sleeve and handed it over.
"Rattles, bamboo dragonflies, small bells, what is this?"
"This is Kong Mingsuo." Ruan Zhao stuffed it into Ruan Mianmian's arms: "These are all for you."
Ruan Mianmian thought Ruan Zhao was a bit funny, but it was normal to give it to a three-year-old baby.
Thank you, second brother, I like it very much."
"That's good." Ruan Zhao stretched out his hand and hesitated, but in the blink of an eye his hand landed on Xiao Naituanzi's head, "Take good care of yourself, and I will take you out to play when my second brother comes back."
"Well, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
"I have to go back and pack my luggage." Ruan Zhao said with joy on his face.
Turning around and walking toward the door, Ruan Zhao thought to himself that no wonder the other brothers liked to get close to the little breast dumpling. It turned out that it felt good to have a cute, cute and well-behaved sister.
Looking back, Ruan Zhao saw Ruan Mianmian on the bed with a serious face: "What if I have another conflict with auntie or Qin Ruolan?"
"You are not a person who makes trouble out of nothing." Ruan Zhao walked forward and waved his hand, "Let the elders worry about the things you brought upon yourself. I have no control over it."
Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but smile, Ruan Zhao was straightforward and outspoken, which made it clear that he had left his job alone and ignored such other things.
The so-called lethargy syndrome came on suddenly and healed quickly. Ruan Mianmian, who couldn't sleep, was full of energy and wandered around the courtyard again.
"Princess, you are not well yet, the wind is strong, you should go back. It is not good to be out for too long." Jiuer said with some worry.
"It's okay." Ruan Mianmian pointed to the rockery in front, "Let's sit in a sheltered area for a while and then go back."
When we came to the foot of the mountain, we found a big flat rock and sat down, with our back against the rock and facing the lake. The scenery here was excellent, and Xiaonuituanzi was in a happy mood.
Patting his side, Ruan Mianmian said: "Sister Jiu'er, please sit down too."
"Okay." After hearing Ruan Mianmian's invitation, Jiu'er walked over and sat down, just in time to hold her in his arms.
Looking at the lake in front of her, Ruan Mianmian remained silent. She recalled the scene when she fell into the water that day. Jiu'er became more and more understanding of small breast dumplings.
"Princess, don't think about those messy things."
"I didn't think about anything." Ruan Mianmian raised her little head and made a face at Jiu'er.
Jiuer touched Ruan Mianmian's cheek: "I feel like I have lost a little weight."
Phew, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but snicker. It was a psychological effect on Sister Jiu'er. She obviously felt that she had grown taller and fatter in just a short period of time. It turns out that those clothes had long been outgrown, and her mother had recently bought them for her.
Lots of new ones.
"Second Madam, please slow down."
Suddenly he heard voices and the second aunt was coming. Ruan Mianmian became playful and wanted to hide and scare Lu Qingrou to play a joke with her.
Just as Jiu'er was about to stand up, Ruan Mianmian pulled her and then stretched out her hand to make a silent gesture at her mouth.
Facing the narrow smile of the little breasted dumpling, it seemed that the princess was going to be naughty again. Jiuer followed her and hid with a smile, and the master and servant did not move.
The footsteps got closer and two people could be heard. It seemed that the second lady was only bringing her personal nanny.
"Mother Wang, what on earth do you think he is thinking? I'm so angry."
Hey, it seems that the second aunt is very unhappy. Who made her angry? The third brother or the fourth brother? No, the third brother is going to the academy early tomorrow morning. He will not make his mother unhappy, so to speak.
The fourth brother.
Ruan Mianmian wondered in her mind whether she should go out to give her second aunt her hair, and also ask for a favor from her fourth brother.
"I have been married to him for almost 20 years. Tell me, even if he is a stone, he should be warmed up." Gu Qingrou's voice was filled with tears.
The person who annoyed the second aunt turned out to be the second uncle. Ruan Mianmian was surprised and surprised at the same time.
I don’t know what Ruan Zhu did all day long to make Gu Qingrou so angry?
In Ruan Mianmian's memory, although her second aunt was a little mean-spirited, she had a good heart and was not the kind of person who liked to care about others.
"Second Madam, the Second Master always values his things."
"I don't know what kind of crap is inside? I rushed in unintentionally and just took a look at the door. He got anxious and yelled at me. If you hadn't stopped me, I think he wanted to hit me."
"It's nothing. I think the second master is just bluffing."
"Humph, Grandma Wang, don't open your eyes and tell lies. I'm not a stranger. Can I tell whether he is true or false?"
The little girl waved her hand towards Jiu'er, signaling her to hide it. After Gu Qingrou and the others walked away, Ruan Mianmian stood up.
"I didn't expect that the Second Master would dare to try to hit the Second Madam." Jiu'er said with ridicule in his tone, "It would be more convincing if he said that the Second Madam beat him."
Ruan Mianmian looked at the backs of Gu Qingrou and his servant in the distance: "Small room? Even the second aunt is not allowed to enter. What is in it? Or is there some secret?"
"Princess, you are too lenient. The affairs of the second wife have nothing to do with us."
"You're right. Let's just pretend we didn't hear it and don't know. We must not say it out loud to avoid embarrassment to my second aunt."
"Yes, I know this."
Ruan Mianmian shook her little head and stopped thinking about it. Her mother's matter had not been resolved yet. In addition, she was very busy with the matter at the Ministry of Works and she really had no time to care about other people's housework where couples were quarreling.
