Gu Ling'an was completely stunned. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground. She finally realized that she had made the worst move today, and she was afraid that it would never be undone. Only then did she understand Ruan Mianmian's status in the Ruan family.
Madam Ruan looked directly at Ruan Qi with a sharp look and a warning in her tone: "After listening to this, what do you have to say?"
"Mother, Ling'an just had a misunderstanding." Ruan Qi also tried to intercede for Gu Ling'an.
"Humph, it doesn't matter if she has a different idea, you have a different idea, or both of you have a different idea." Mrs. Ruan paused for a moment before continuing, "In short, don't even think about it."
Gu Ling'an came back to her senses. She understood the meaning of Ruan Qi's words. He clearly had feelings for her.
"Mrs. Ruan, third brother and I are in love. As long as we can be together with him, I beg you to do it." After saying this, Ling'an knelt down and kowtowed vigorously.
What this means is that she doesn't even want her status. Not to mention Gu Ling'an's true feelings for Ruan Qi, she is just taking it step by step, waiting for the day when she can be as valuable as her mother.
"No, no." Ruan Qi's heart was full of mixed feelings.
In fact, Ruan Qi doesn't know what kind of feelings he has for Gu Ling'an?
The most depressing and difficult days in life were the days when he returned to Beijing after recovering his memory. It must be said that both Zhou Yunning and Ruan Mianmian occupied a place in Ruan Qi's heart.
But the radiance of their mother and daughter reflected Ruan Qi's incompetence. Facing them, he seemed like a hedgehog, unknowingly stinging them with his sharp and ruthless words and deeds.
The only place where Ruan Qi can find self-respect is Lanyuan, right in front of Gu Ling'an, so her confession is like grabbing a life-saving straw for him when he is drowning. It seems good to be with her.
Ruan Qi didn't expect to understand Gu Ling'an's unscrupulous methods, but Mrs. Ruan saw through them completely.
It was obviously a trap set by Bu Buying, but his stupid son still jumped in. If he had arrived a little late, would these two have...
Mrs. Ruan looked at Ruan Qi and was very disappointed. She calmed down and said, "This matter is settled. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Miss Gu will move out. Don't worry, if you are willing, I will find a suitable match for you."
If you don't want to, I won't miss you."
After everything that needed to be said was said, any further delay might cause people to notice something was wrong. Mrs. Ruan stood up.
"Ruan Qi, let's go, we have to stay up late tonight."
Mrs. Ruan said as she walked towards the door. She gave the order and Ruan Qi did not dare to disobey. He could only step forward to help his mother and left.
Aunt Yun pushed away, bowed and stepped aside to let Mrs. Ruan and her son pass by.
"Here comes someone." Grandma Yun raised her voice.
The servants of Lanyuan, including Fang'er, came out in fear during the civil war.
Grandma Yun looked serious: "Old Madam, I have mercy on you. The third master will accompany her to visit Miss Gu. You must serve her well and not be negligent."
"Yes." The servants agreed in unison.
Gu Ling'an in the room slowly stood up, a look of unwillingness flashed across his face, and then he sneered again.
After all, Ruan Qi is Madam Ruan's biological son, so she still takes it seriously. Aunt Yun's words are undoubtedly trying to cover up for him.
In the smoke cage courtyard, Zhou Yunning did not rest. After taking a bath and changing clothes, she took a ledger and looked through it carefully. She calmed down and calculated carefully. She couldn't help but smile. It turned out that she had earned so much. It seemed that she could consider more next year.
Several branches have been opened.
Zhou Yuning happily closed the account book and casually called out: "Shuang'er."
When there was no response, Zhou Yunning remembered that Shuang'er had taken the order and went out.
Zhou Yunning frowned slightly in thought. She didn't bother to deal with Gu Ling'an, but she dared to attack Mianmian, so she couldn't be blamed.
As for Ruan Qi, if he doesn't stand by his wife and daughter, it doesn't matter if his father doesn't want such a husband. Anyway, now that he is confident, Zhou Yunning's eyes fall on the ledger. Even if Mianmian is not the princess, she can make her happy.
, live a peaceful and happy life.
"Third Madam." Shuang'er came in from outside, "The old lady took Grandma Yun to Lanyuan quietly. Now she is taking the Third Master to the hall."
The corners of Zhou Yun Ning's lips curled up in mockery. Shuang'er looked at her and suddenly felt sad: "Third Madam, don't be angry or sad."
"I'm not angry, and I'm not sad either." Zhou Yuning sighed, "He is no longer the Sanlang Ruan family in the past, and I am no longer the Zhou Yuning in the past."
What does it mean? Shuang'er blinked her eyes, she really didn't understand.
Zhou Yunning reached out and pushed the cup of hot tea: "Drink this tea quickly to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, Third Madam."
"Shuang'er, if Mianmian and I leave the Hou Mansion, do you want to stay or follow us..."
"You and the princess go there, and this slave girl will go there." Shuang'er put down the cup, interrupted Zhou Yunning, knelt down and looked nervous, "Don't ever leave me behind."
"Okay, as long as you are willing to follow, the three of us will depend on each other just like we did when we lived in Liluo." Zhou Yunning reached out and pulled Shuang'er up.
Shuang'er breathed a sigh of relief and soon doubts appeared on her face: "Third Madam?"
"It's nothing." Zhou Yunning didn't want to say too much, "Go to sleep. The third master must stay with his parents tonight."
Soon, Shuang'er helped Zhou Yunning fall asleep. She blew out the lights on the table and quietly retreated.
After a good night's sleep, when Ruan Mianmian opened her eyes, she noticed there was a noise outside.
Why are you so ignorant of the rules? The little breasted dumpling blinked and remembered that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year and the new year has begun.
"Princess, are you awake?" Jiu'er came over with a smile on her face, "My slave, I wish you a happy new year."
Ruan Mianmian sat up suddenly: "Happy New Year to Sister Jiu'er."
"Happy New Year, Princess." Jiu'er stepped forward to help Ruan Mianmian put on her new clothes.
After changing clothes and washing up, Ruan Mianmian spread the money generously, and the servants in the Yanlong Courtyard laughed from ear to ear. They had received the most money this year. Not only the red envelopes from the Marquis Mansion, but also the red envelopes from the Third Lady and the Princess.
The red envelopes given out were more and more numerous, and everyone was able to have a prosperous New Year.
The Hou Mansion is particularly lively today, with more people coming and going to pay New Year's greetings than in previous years. Not only those paying New Year's greetings to the old Marquis and his wife, because Ruan Mianmian is pampered and she also receives many New Year gifts.
It was the first time for Gu Qingrou to take care of the affairs of the Hou Mansion alone. Although it was hard work, she was still very happy. She had been suppressed by Chen Wanyu for many years, and it was finally her turn to come forward. Seeing how respectful the ladies were, she felt very happy.
It was for Princess Linglong again. Gu Qingrou looked at the mountains of gifts and was really envious, but she was just envious. Thinking about Zhou Yunning and her son finally being able to see the moonlight after the clouds cleared, she was quite happy for them. This chapter has been completed!
