Ruan Mianmian was a little curious. She often went in and out of her grandfather's study. In the past, she occasionally met her uncle in the study. Now that he is not in the house, who could be inside?
An idea flashed in her mind and Ruan Mianmian blurted out: "Is the second uncle in there?"
"The princess really guessed it right." A Dong was even more surprised.
Ruan Mianmian chuckled and turned around to leave: "Then I'll come back later."
The door to the study room suddenly opened, and Ruan Zhu walked out: "Mianmian."
Hearing this, Ruan Mianmian turned around and said, "Second uncle."
"Your grandfather asked you to go in." Ruan Zhu came over and said gently with a smile on his face.
"Second uncle, let's go in together?" Ruan Mianmian stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"I've finished talking to my grandfather. I have other things to do. You can go in."
"Oh." Ruan Mianmian blinked and looked confused, like an innocent little baby, "Second uncle, then, walk slowly."
Ruan Zhu nodded slightly and left with long strides, and Ruan Mianmian rushed into the study.
Jiu'er stood guard in front of the study door. After Ruan Mianmian entered, A Dong stepped forward and closed the door from the outside.
Ruan Geng, who was sitting behind the desk, looked up when he heard footsteps and said, "Why are you like a skinned monkey? You are the princess, can't you be more steady?"
"The princess needs to be more steady in front of others. You don't need to be steady now." Ruan Mianmian climbed onto the chair in front of the desk and knelt down with his hands on the desk. "Grandpa, do you have anything to do with your second uncle?"
"I asked your second uncle to do something before." Ruan Geng put down the pen in his hand.
"Did you do a good job?" Ruan Mianmian guessed Ruan Geng's thoughts from his expression.
Ruan Geng did not answer immediately and remained silent. After a while, he said: "Yes."
"That's great." Ruan Mianmian grinned.
"What's good?" Ruan Geng rolled his eyes at the little breast dumpling.
"With the help of my second uncle, my grandfather doesn't have to work too hard."
Ruan Geng looked at Ruan Mianmian and saw her sincere face. If an ordinary little baby said this, he would not think too much about it. But when these words came from Ruan Mianmian, he would have to think more about it.
Ruan Mianmian saw Ruan Geng staring at her and simply met his gaze: "Why is grandpa looking at me like this?"
"Your father is back."
"so what?"
"You come in and out of my study, so you should naturally know what it means to come in and out of this study?"
"It means grandpa's trust." Ruan Mianmian slumped down on the chair, "Whoever grandpa thinks is suitable is whoever, it has nothing to do with me."
"You really think so?"
"That's right, so you don't have to worry about me."
Ruan Mianmian was very calm, and Ruan Geng couldn't help but feel a little sad after hearing this.
"Mianmian, haven't you ever thought about your father?"
"What grandfather said is strange." After Ruan Mianmian said this, he said no more.
Ruan Geng is the person who knows Ruan Mianmian best. In just a few words, he can tell that Ruan Qi is dispensable in the eyes of his little granddaughter.
Alas - speaking of it, the father and daughter are really similar. Not only do they look similar, they also have similar temperaments. They are both so stubborn.
After thinking about it, Ruan Geng advised: "Put other things aside for now. I heard that you haven't called him daddy yet."
Ruan Mianmian raised his eyebrows slightly, "I think he doesn't care."
"How could he not care? You are his only daughter."
Ruan Mianmian replied: "I am my mother's daughter."
"Blood relations cannot be changed?"
"Yes, intimacy or distance depends on the person." Ruan Mianmian rolled his eyes, "Grandpa, you don't have to beat around the bush, he doesn't like me, I don't like him, it's that simple."
"You are a good boy, your father needs time to understand you."
"He doesn't need to know me, he just needs to know my mother."
Ruan Geng finally understood the crux: "It's because of your mother."
"I don't need him. Whether I recognize him or not depends on whether my mother needs him as a husband."
"Outsiders cannot interfere in the affairs between husband and wife. You are still young and don't understand this." Ruan Geng still felt sorry for Ruan Qi to speak for him, "They have been separated for many years, and they also need to adapt to each other."
Ruan Mianmian remained silent. She really didn't understand how husband and wife get along, and what her grandfather said seemed to make sense.
"We'll see." Ruan Mianmian said this after thinking for a long time.
Ruan Geng nodded and continued to persuade: "He is your father after all, and you are his child after all."
"If that Gu Ling'an hadn't appeared, maybe I would have given him some respect because he gave birth to me."
Ruan Mianmian made it clear that she was suspicious of the relationship between Gu Ling'an and Ruan Qi. Ruan Geng originally wanted to lie a few words to cover up his son, but when he saw the cold eyes of Xiao Naituanzi, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Your father said that Gu Ling'an is just his adopted sister."
"He said?" Ruan Mianmian looked at Ruan Geng and couldn't help but smile, "There's nothing wrong with what my grandfather said. He said, let's just listen for now."
This little clever guy, Ruan Geng shook his head gently: "I really can't hide anything from you. Tell me, what are you planning?"
"I just want to confirm something from my grandfather."
"Tell me."
"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to ask my grandfather. Does the Ruan family only have wives and no concubines? Does the family rule of not having intercourse still count?"
"Of course it counts, and the descendants of the Ruan family must abide by it." Ruan Geng did not hesitate at all.
"Okay." Ruan Mianmian's eyes flashed, "What if I violate it?"
"After the family law was dealt with, he was expelled from the Ruan family."
"Grandpa, please remember what you said today."
"Mianmian, are you your father?" Based on Ruan Geng's understanding of Ruan Mianmian, her words are definitely not groundless.
Xiaotai Tuanzi smiled brightly: "Grandpa, don't worry too much. I'm just trying to take precautions before they happen. Of course, if you feel it's necessary to mention someone, that's your business."
"Okay, I know what you mean." Ruan Geng finally gave up half of his mental arithmetic.
Ruan Mianmian couldn't stand it, but she was still willing to give Ruan Qi a chance, not so that she could have a father, but so that her mother could have a husband. She borrowed some advice from her grandfather. If he still couldn't understand it clearly, then...
No wonder she is.
Grandparents and grandsons still have the old habit of holding a book in their hands, and chatting about each other while reading, which originates from books but involves all aspects, worldly relations and even court disputes.
That night, the third day after Ruan Qi returned home, he finally rested in Zhou Yunning's room.
After hearing Jiu'er's report, Ruan Mianmian was silent for a long time and let out a long sigh.
Ruan Mianmian didn't pay attention to whether it was Ruan Qi who wanted to understand or Zhou Yunning used some tricks, but her heart was like a mirror, her mother still had feelings for her scumbag father and couldn't let go.
In this case, Ruan Mianmian decided not to sit idly by and wanted to help Zhou Yuning.
Early in the morning, Shuang'er went to the garden as instructed by Ruan Mianmian and chatted a few words with the little maid. When Fang'er, the maid from Lanyuan, passed by, she accidentally overheard what she said.
