It seemed that his second uncle was very kind to his mother. Ruan Mianmian originally thought that if she had a chance to see her grandfather in the future, her grandmother would sue him, so she gave up.
Ruan Mianmian suddenly felt that it was understandable that Zhou Yun was deceived by Qin Ruolan: "Concern leads to chaos. Qin Ruolan was lying, and the second uncle was deceived because he loved his mother too much."
Sighing long and long, Zhou Yuning said: "Second brother locked himself up for three days when he heard that I was dead. You can imagine how sad he was in those days. Qin Ruolan took advantage of it. If she met He is the elder brother who has always been calm and collected, so he probably won’t be fooled so easily.”
"If it weren't for the fact that I love my mother very much, my uncle wouldn't have been fooled. I take back what I just said, he is not stupid." Ruan Mianmian corrected.
Zhou Yunning touched Ruan Mianmian's head and pinched her little face: "It's late at night, why did you come here if you weren't resting in the room?"
"By the way, I almost forgot about the main thing." Ruan Mianmian patted her head, "Mother, there is a message from Fu'an Hall. Grandma asked you to go there."
"Is something wrong?" Zhou Yuning asked in surprise.
Ruan Mianmian said with a smile: "I guess it was my grandfather who told her about our opening an embroidery workshop. Is there anything she would like to ask or give you advice on?"
"I'm going over now, do you want to accompany your mother?" Zhou Yunning asked as she stood up.
"I won't go there. Mom just took this opportunity to talk to grandma about my uncles," Ruan Mianmian suggested.
Zhou Yunning nodded: "Although your grandfather and grandmother didn't ask, after all, it is my fault for concealing the affairs of my mother's family. I will apologize right now."
"Mother, don't worry, your grandfather and grandmother are both sensible people, and they won't make things difficult for you."
"Well, you go and freshen up and go to bed first." Zhou Yunning crossed the threshold and left slowly, supported by Shuang'er.
Ruan Mianmian followed Zhou Yunning across the threshold, and the little maid Hongyu cleverly stepped forward and gave her a hand.
He turned his head sideways and looked at Hongyu for a few times, then slowly turned around and Ruan Mianmian said calmly: "Go back to the house."
Jiu'er went to inquire about the news. Ruan Mianmian was being washed and dressed by Hongyu. At this moment, she was helping Xiao Naituanzi take away the hair accessories from her head.
"Hongyu, who is in your family?" Ruan Mianmian asked casually, looking at herself in the mirror.
"Princess, this slave has no family anymore." Hong Yu replied while combing Ruan Mianmian's hair.
"How did you enter the Marquis' mansion?"
"Both of my parents died when I was young, and my grandma and I depended on each other." Hongyu's tone was calm, but the hand combing her hair trembled slightly, revealing her inner peace.
Ruan Mianmian asked calmly: "What happened next?"
"Later my grandma passed away. I was only six years old at the time. I sold myself for one or two silver coins and asked my neighbors to help bury my grandma."
"You are filial."
"There's no such thing as filial piety. Without grandma, there would be no me. Whatever I do is what I should do."
"I was resold several times within a year, and then I was sold to the Marquis Mansion. I originally thought I would be satisfied as a rough servant, but I didn't expect that I was so lucky. The princess kept me and let me stay close to her. Serve with your body."
Ruan Mianmian turned around and faced Hong Yu. Her eyes were full of gratitude, and she looked like she was showing her true feelings.
In an instant, Hongyu took half a step back. She could feel the princess staring at her. The sudden pressure from her small body forced her to kneel down unconsciously.
"That night I asked you to bring something to Shi Sigou, were you afraid?"
"A bit." She was telling the truth. If Hongyu said she wasn't afraid, Ruan Mianmian wouldn't believe it either.
"Have you ever thought about what you would do if someone discovered or exposed you?"
"If anyone sees it, I will never involve the princess. Shi Sigou has done something in the mansion, and everyone knows his character. I will say that he came in to steal things."
Ruan Mianmian nodded slightly: "That's a little clever."
"Princess, I don't know anything, so of course I didn't say anything."
"Well, I have an idea. By the way, I want to send you somewhere."
"Princess, you don't want ruby?"
"Do you want to be the second Jiu'er beside me?" Seeing Hongyu's silence, Ruan Mianmian continued, "Of course, you can also choose to live your current life and continue to be the little maid beside me.
"I think, Hongyu wants to be someone like Sister Jiuer." Hongyu raised her head.
After what happened last time, Hongyu had seen Jiuer's skills, and she also knew that she was definitely more than just the princess's personal maid.
After thinking about it carefully, Hongyu realized that the princess wanted to cultivate her and change her life.
Ruan Mianmian said lightly: "Can you bear the hardship?"
"Yes, Ruby is not afraid of suffering."
"Are you confident?"
"Yes, Hongyu will go all out."
"If you choose this path, you will still be mine if you meet the requirements. If you fail, I will not want you again." Ruan Mianmian's sharp eyes fell on Hong Yu's face, "I will give you one last chance, you
You can change your mind."
Hongyu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said firmly: "I want to become a person like Sister Jiu'er and stay with the princess all my life."
"A lifetime is too long." Ruan Mianmian smiled slightly, "No one can say for sure."
"Princess, Hongyu is serious."
"Okay, get up." Ruan Mianmian gave him a hand, "You pack your things and Jiu'er will take you somewhere. I hope you can come back to me soon."
At this moment, Jiu'er pushed the door open and came in. He raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
"Jiu'er, take her away after she packs her things."
"Yes." Jiuer understood immediately after hearing this, "Hongyu, you go down first."
Hongyu saluted Ruan Mianmian and stepped back, closing the door behind her.
"Princess, Master Zhou has a good relationship with the governor of Kyoto. After Qin Ruolan entered, she was directly put into the women's prison with many female prisoners. She uttered arrogant words and was beaten by those people in less than half an hour until her face was bruised and her nose was swollen.
, even the clothes were torn."
"Yeah." Ruan Mianmian agreed casually, obviously what Jiu'er said was not what she wanted to hear.
Jiu'er naturally knew what his princess was thinking: "I told Mr. Fu Yin that this person cheated Princess Linglong's grandfather's family out of a lot of money. He also lied about the death of the third lady. He said he would take legal action according to law.
Deal with it strictly."
Ruan Mianmian held her cheek with one hand and changed her sitting position: "How can I be strict?"
"Tattooing and exile. It happens that there are other prisoners who are being exiled together. Tomorrow, when the city gates open, they will be escorted out of the capital by officials."
The punishment of tattooing is to have words tattooed on the face and also to be exiled. Ruan Mianmian asked: "Disposal according to law?"
"Yes, it is handled in accordance with the law."
"Since it's according to the law, that's fine."
Ruan Mianmian thought for a while: In exile, Qin Ruolan can be regarded as pampered, but the life will be difficult. Whether he can endure it or not depends entirely on God's will.
