It was a blessing in disguise that her daughter was a blessing in disguise. She had caught the attention of a noble man. Lin Shilang was secretly happy in his heart.
Ruan Mianmian was satisfied when he learned that Lin Shilang had divorced his wife, so he asked Lin Bingying to be invited. Ji Ji naturally accompanied her.
The father and daughter met each other in just a few months, but it seemed like they were separated forever, so naturally they cried and cried.
Ruan Mianmian and others quietly left, allowing Lin Bingying and her daughter to have a good time together.
The three of them were walking along the garden path, with Jiu'er half a foot behind them.
"Suddenly I feel that even if my parents don't come back, it won't matter. As long as they are well and I am well, that's fine too." Ji Ji said with emotion.
Li Wang said: "For the first time, I think my father seems to be quite good. For my sister and me, he behaves well even if he is separated from my mother. He doesn't even have a concubine by his side."
After listening to what they said, Ruan Mianmian thought of Ruan Qi. Deep down in her heart, she resented her missing biological father, thinking that he was a scumbag who was only responsible for giving birth but not for upbringing, causing her mother and herself to suffer.
Thinking about it now, Ruan Mianmian felt that he was a little extreme. If he died, there was nothing he could do. If he didn't die, he might have no choice.
Thinking of this, the knot in her heart seemed to be untied. Ruan Mianmian turned to Li Wang: "Speaking of which, I haven't met your sister Li Ying yet."
"Well, Ying'er is not in good health and rarely sees anyone else." Li Wang couldn't help but think of his sister's tone with a hint of heaviness.
Ruan Mianmian asked curiously: "The previous gatherings at Prince Jing's Mansion were all held by the Crown Princess for her. She should like to be lively."
"You don't know." Ji Ji interjected, "I've been there a few times, and Princess Ankang was watching from a distance through the screen. I vaguely saw her figure, and she just kept sitting like that, and I didn't listen.
Once she opens her mouth, if she sits there for too long, the Crown Princess will have someone take her into the inner room."
"So mysterious?" Ruan Mianmian turned to Li Wang, "I want to meet her."
Li Wang smiled bitterly: "I can't let you see her, except for our family members. If you want to see Yinger, your grandmother must agree."
"Well, I understand."
While they were talking, the three of them had already returned to the Yanlong Courtyard. After sitting down to have a rest, drink tea and eat some snacks, Lin Bingying came back. She agreed to follow Lin Shilang back, but not now, but ten days later.
"Are Sister Lin worried about Big Brother?" Ruan Mianmian said very clearly. The day after tomorrow is the day when the results will be released.
Several people present here are more or less related to Ruan Jin. Lin Bingying nodded slightly: "Didn't Ji Ji say just now that I'm a little worried."
"Actually, there's no need to worry too much. My eldest brother's decision to take the science exam was a hasty one. In addition, something like that disturbed his mind. It's normal for him to fail the exam. Besides, he's only eighteen years old, so there's no rush."
Ruan Mianmian's analysis was very clear and logical, and everyone present couldn't help but nodded slightly after hearing this.
The day for the results to be released soon came. Ruan Jin did not look at the results as he already knew it.
Regarding Ruan Jin's failure, everyone in the Ding'an Hou Mansion seemed calm on the surface, but it was another matter to know what everyone was thinking secretly.
Originally, Ruan Mianmian was still thinking about how to do ideological work with her eldest brother, and she even wanted to do it together with her eldest uncle and grandfather.
Unexpectedly, at this time, something big happened in the Ding'an Hou Mansion. Ruan Chan unexpectedly resigned from his post behind the back of Ding'an Hou Ruan Geng. Not only did he resign, he also left a letter and ran away from home.
The Ding'an Marquis Mansion once again experienced the shock of Ruan Qi's disappearance five years ago. Fortunately, Ruan Chan was found this time, but he was unwilling to return to the house. He only said that he would go out for a walk and he would return to the house after a while.
Seeing that Ruan Chan had made up his mind, the Ruan family had no choice but to let him go.
In the study room of Fu'an Hall, Ruan Geng and Ruan Mianmian were speechless.
"Grandpa, did uncle decide to leave because he was heartbroken?"
"Well." Ruan Geng shook his head, "After all, Chen Wanyu failed him. Why can't he think about it? It's not worth it."
"My grandfather sent people to track down the man named Jiang, but did they find anything?"
"This matter has something to do with Qin Ruolan." What Ruan Geng said was beyond Ruan Mianmian's expectations.
"Qin Ruolan? Hasn't she been exiled for several months?"
Ruan Geng nodded: "She started going crazy after she left the capital, and Dr. Jiang actually followed her all the way."
"Because she is his daughter." Ruan Mianmian said.
Ruan Geng sighed softly and said, "It seems that you also know some things."
"I know a little bit, but I just can't figure out why the man named Jiang suddenly jumped out. Hasn't he been hiding in the dark?"
"Qin Ruolan died. She ran out screaming about a ghost in the middle of the night. Later she fell into the water and drowned." Ruan Geng said slowly.
Ruan Mianmian understood in her heart that Qin Ruolan caused the original owner to drown that day, but now it was just retaliation.
"She died. The man named Jiang hated his uncle and also hated Chen Wanyu." Ruan Mianmian deduced, "So he came back to take revenge."
"Well, it's roughly what you said."
"Now it's as he wished."
"Yes, if you get your wish, you will have nothing to worry about."
Grandfather is still as decisive in killing as he was in his youth. Now Jiang can go and make it clear to Qin Ruolan in person.
Ruan Mianmian knew it but pretended not to know. Looking at Ruan Geng, she suddenly realized that her grandfather had aged much in just a short period of time.
There are only three sons in total. My father is missing and my eldest uncle has run away from home. My grandfather must be very sad.
Ruan Mianmian enlightened and said: "Grandpa, what is in the past is in the past. Please take care of yourself. It doesn't matter if my uncle goes out for a walk. When he opens his heart, he will definitely come back."
"He will not come back. He went to the Ruan family temple." Ruan Geng sighed, "He feels ashamed of the ancestors of the Ruan family and will repent there for the rest of his life."
Ruan Mianmian was stunned when she heard this, and it took her a moment to realize. It seemed that her eldest uncle had already had this idea after Chen Wanyu's death, but he still waited until his eldest brother released the results before leaving.
"Grandpa, your life is very long, no one can tell for sure." Ruan Mianmian comforted with a smile, "Besides, the family temple is not another temple, and my uncle has not become a monk. He went to serve the ancestors, and one day he figured it out.
Will be back."
"I hope it's as you said."
Ruan Geng's eyes finally glowed, and Ruan Mianmian's words gave him hope.
"By the way, I have something to tell you. The Emperor has finally made up his mind to let His Highness the Crown Prince leave the palace for a period of time. The date will be after the new year."
"I want to go too." Ruan Mianmian said immediately.
"Really want to go? Can your mother agree? Besides, are you willing to leave the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Looking at what my grandfather said, it seems like how long I have to go. Look, the second brother and the third brother come back from time to time, and I do the same. Besides, if she knew that I was studying, my mother would let me go even if she was reluctant to leave.
