Ruan Mianmian frowned and thought, now it seems that my grandfather's house is probably a merchant's home. Is it because of this that my mother didn't mention it?
No, it won't happen. My mother is not this kind of person. Ruan Mianmian quickly rejected it, but after much thought, she really couldn't think of a reason.
"The third lady's family has come to the capital." Jiu'er didn't notice the change in Ruan Mianmian's expression. She was quite excited, "Let's go back home quickly and tell her."
"No." Ruan Mianmian shook his head repeatedly, "Mother will never mention it. I want to find out first before deciding whether to say anything."
Jiu'er thought for a moment: "The princess is right. In my memory, the third lady didn't even mention that she had a natal family after she entered the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone, including the old Marquis and the old lady, thought she was an orphan."
Ruan Mianmian took out the silver note in her arms, looked at it and put it in her arms: "It seems that my grandpa's business is quite big, and Mr. Zhou is generous. Seeing Aunt Zhou give out 20,000 taels of silver notes,
Without even batting an eyelid, he said 'it's worth it'."
"By the way, Princess, we were at the corner of the back room just now." Jiu'er reminded.
Ruan Mianmian didn't take it to heart: "I know there are people hiding. Since they don't want to see us, let's forget about them. Let's go and hang out some more."
When receiving the report from their subordinates, Zhou Yun and Zhou Hong looked at each other. They did not expect that the little kid was so cunning and actually dumped the person they sent.
Zhou Yun was a little frustrated: "It's a little difficult to find it now."
"Keep looking. Anyway, he is in the capital. If we send more people to inquire, I don't believe we can't find that little baby's home."
After Zhou Hong finished speaking, his eyes fell on the wedding dress: "Second brother, please quickly send someone to send this wedding dress back to Jiangnan. Only my mother can recognize her craftsmanship."
"That's what the elder brother said." Zhou Yun nodded repeatedly.
The two brothers looked at each other, and then they both sighed. It has been five years, and they have been looking for her for five years. They were really wrong back then. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, and the past cannot be undone.
The street was quite lively. Ruan Mianmian was walking among the small merchants and hawkers, and soon Jiu'er helped her get a lot of gadgets.
"Hey, it's candied haws, buy some and go back." Ruan Mianmian's eyes lit up.
Each of her little hands held a few bunches of candied haws. Ruan Mianmian was so satisfied that her eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled.
"I did something shameful and even colluded with outsiders to frame my sister-in-law for stealing."
"That woman is so shameless."
"She is shameless, but she doesn't know where to put her face this time?"
…
Behind the vendor selling candied haws, several women were huddled together and chatting. Ruan Mianmian didn't pay attention at first, but when she heard the word "Ruan Family", she became curious.
Jiu'er saw Ruan Mianmian approaching the women quietly, and she followed suit quietly.
"She seems to have given birth to two sons for Mr. Ruan."
"Yes, the Ruan family has a good family tradition. Such a big official doesn't even have a concubine, so she's not satisfied."
"Auntie, which Ruan family are you talking about?" Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
When I lowered my head and saw Ruan Mianmian, all the women were smiling. What a cute little baby.
"Baby, you're still young, it's better not to hear such shameful things." One of the women said with a smile.
Ruan Mianmian blinked: "Okay, I will listen to what you say, not what you say. But, can you tell me, which Ruan Shilang is the Ruan Shilang you just mentioned?"
"Oh my, there is only one Minister Ruan in this big city." The woman next to me said quickly.
"Oh, I know, thank you ladies." Ruan Mianmian smiled at the women.
Turning around, there was no hint of smile on Xiaotuanzi's face. The news about his uncle came out.
"Princess, there is a teahouse over there. Let's go in for a drink and a rest."
Ruan Mianmian nodded. She understood what Jiu'er meant. Teahouses are the place where rumors and gossip are most concentrated.
The master and the servant sat down in the corner of the teahouse hall, and in the time it took to have a cup of tea, they learned everything they wanted to know.
After walking out of the teahouse, Ruan Mianmian distributed the candied haws on her hand to the children from poor families playing in the streets.
Returning to Ding'an Marquis Mansion, Ruan Mianmian went straight to Fu'an Hall. Instead of going to greet her grandmother as usual, she went straight to the study.
When she saw A Dong outside the study, Ruan Mianmian slowed down. Originally she was wondering if her grandfather had returned home, but it seemed that he was in the study at the moment.
Entering the study, Ruan Mianmian saluted and asked Ruan Geng. He couldn't wait to come to Ruan Geng: "Grandpa, have you heard about it?"
"What did you hear?" Ruan Geng looked confused.
"My uncle's story has been spread throughout the streets and alleys." Ruan Mianmian saw it, and his grandfather didn't know about it.
Ruan Geng's expression changed drastically: "The news has leaked out."
"Grandpa, it's not just a rumor."
After Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, Ruan Geng's expression became more serious.
Xiao Naituanzi said "it's not just a rumor", that means what is being circulated outside is true.
You must know that the servants of Ding'anhou Mansion also have only a partial understanding of Chen Wanyu's matter. There are not many people who really know the truth.
The grandfather and grandson looked solemn, and many faces flashed through their minds.
After a long time, it was Xiaonuituanzi who spoke first: "Grandpa, I can't think of who it could be."
"I can't think of it either." Ruan Geng said helplessly.
"We are talking so much that we can't stop it. The top priority is what should we do?" Ruan Mianmian's facial features were almost wrinkled, "I wonder if uncle can bear it?"
The old Marquis sighed long and long: "Actually, I have known for a long time that there is no airtight wall in the world, so I just thought that gossiping over time would have less impact on the boss."
"How long has it been since?" Ruan Mianmian raised his head, "Grandpa, have you made people watch Chen Wanyu closely?"
"Ruan Yi." Old Marquis called softly.
Ruan Mianmian is now used to Ruan Yi and the others being elusive.
"For the record, Mr. Chen Wanyu has not left the nunnery. Our people are watching her and she can't leave even if she wants to."
"Has she seen anyone recently?" Ruan Mianmian asked.
Ruan Yi raised his eyes and looked at Ruan Geng: "The old Marquis did not say that she is not allowed to see other people. The eldest and second young masters have visited her before, and Qin Ruolan has also been there."
"Do you doubt your eldest brother and second brother?" Ruan Geng raised his eyebrows.
Ruan Mianmian shook his head slowly: "It's definitely not them."
"Where is Qin Ruolan?" Ruan Geng asked deliberately, "I heard that she was having a hard time in the Qin family."
"That's natural. How can the Qin family compare with Ding'an Houfu? You will have to adapt when you return to the starting point." Ruan Mianmian raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth and looked determined, "She is the one who hopes Chen Wanyu will turn around the most, so she will not spread the news.
Such bad news for her."
Ruan Geng nodded after hearing this: "I don't think it will be her either." This chapter has been completed!
