Ruan Geng was so frightened by Ruan Mianmian's brain circuit that he was speechless for a long time.
"Grandpa, once you die, there is no need to investigate at all. What should come out will naturally come out."
"You mean to pretend that I'm dead?" Ruan Geng came back to his senses and stroked his beard, "It's a bit difficult to pretend to be dead?"
"How difficult is it?" Ruan Mianmian's smile was full of calculation, "Since someone has tried so hard to poison you, you, old man, can do as they wish."
Ruan Geng was even more confused: "But that's a chronic poison."
"Perhaps the dose of chronic poison will be increased soon." Ruan Mianmian pointed out, "Grandpa, be careful. I will ask Hongyu to come over and help A Dong to serve you."
With a flash of light in his eyes, Ruan Geng saw cunning in his precious granddaughter's eyes. Since she was so determined, there was no harm in giving it a try.
"Okay, then do as you say."
"Grandpa, relax, I will arrange everything." Ruan Mianmian felt vaguely in his heart that the result would be soon.
After careful discussion between the grandfather and grandson, Ruan Mianmian asked Jiuer to find Hongyu, and she left after giving careful instructions.
In the Yanlong Courtyard, Zhou Yunning directed Shuang'er to pack her things. Although she didn't say it openly, she was already planning to leave Ding'an Hou Mansion.
When Ruan Mianmian came in, Shuang'er closed the box and immediately reported when she came in: "Third Madam, the princess is back."
After hearing what Shuang'er said, Zhou Yunning walked out of the inner room and saw the little milk dumpling coming towards her.
"Mother." Ruan Mianmian stepped forward and hugged Zhou Yuning's thigh.
Zhou Yun Ning was a little surprised, it was rare for a small breast dumpling to show such childishness.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yuning asked as she squatted down and held her baby daughter's cheeks with her hands.
After shaking her head, Ruan Mianmian hugged Zhou Yunning's neck. She couldn't help but smile and picked him up.
"Mom, have you packed your things?"
"It's almost done. Only these two boxes are left. The others will be sent to our house one after another in the past few days."
"We may have to delay our departure for a while."
"Why?" Zhou Yunning couldn't help but tighten her arms around Ruan Mianmian, "Have your grandfather and grandmother changed their minds?"
Ruan Mianmian said sadly: "My grandfather is sick, and my mother doesn't know?"
Zhou Yunning put Ruan Mianmian down with a look of shock on her face: "The old Marquis is ill, I didn't hear about it."
"Third Madam, you haven't been to Fu'an Hall for many days." Shuang'er whispered.
Yes, when leaving Ding'anhou's mansion, Zhou Yunning felt ashamed to face Ding'anhou and his wife, so she did not go to Fu'an Hall to pay her respects.
Zhou Yunning has been busy organizing things in the past few days. She stayed in the Yanlong Courtyard and didn't even have time to pay attention to what was going on in the house. If Xiao Naituanzi hadn't mentioned it, she really wouldn't have known about it.
"Is it serious?" Zhou Yunning hesitated for a moment and stood up, "I'd better go take a look."
"Oh, mother." Ruan Mianmian grabbed Zhou Yunning's hand, "Don't worry, I just came from my grandfather's place, and he is taking a rest."
Zhou Yunning stopped and turned around: "Did Mr. Hou get angry because of what happened to our third room?"
Ruan Mianmian replied: "Of course I am angry, but it is not just because of this matter."
"Really?" Zhou Yunning didn't believe it.
"Our matter is not a big deal in Grandpa's eyes. If you are angry, you will naturally be angry. Once you are angry, everything will be fine."
"What about him?"
"For other things." Ruan Mianmian glanced in the direction of the door.
When Jiu'er and Shuang'er saw this, they knew that mother and daughter had something to say, so they both wisely retreated out of the door.
"Mother, they humiliate you like this, I can't bear to swallow it."
Although Ruan Mianmian did not mention them by name, Zhou Yuning knew as soon as he heard that Xiao Naituanzi was talking about Ruan Qi and Gu Ling'an.
"Forget it, for the sake of the old marquis and the old lady."
"One code equals another. My grandfather and grandmother have been kind to us and my mother. I can repay them in other ways."
Zhou Yunning looked at Ruan Mianmian's angry little face: "Mianmian, what do you know?"
"There are rumors going around now that the two of them are deeply in love, and they are confusing right and wrong and saying something wrong with you."
"That's not considered a rumor." Zhou Yuning smiled bitterly.
"Gu Ling Antian is shameless. He abandoned his wife and daughter, but these two still think it's justified." Ruan Mianmian was really angry, "Don't worry, mother, just leave this matter to me."
Zhou Yunning hurriedly called out: "Mianmian."
"Mom, you don't need to say any more. Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion." Ruan Mianmian changed the subject, "By the way, after moving out, you will have more freedom. Do you have any new plans for the development of the embroidery workshop?"
"Plan? Zhou Yunning was stunned.
Ruan Mianmian smiled and guided: "Doing business is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. In the end, you must have a goal and grow bigger and bigger."
"Li'er is such a li'er." Zhou Yuning suddenly stared at her little breast dumplings, "Is Mianmian short of money?"
My mother's thinking is really amazing, but Ruan Mianmian is really not short of money.
Apart from anything else, the income from the two counties that the emperor gave her to Ruan Mianmian was considerable, but she kept it quietly without telling anyone.
"There's still a little bit missing." Ruan Mianmian stretched out her little finger.
Zhou Yunning frowned: "After moving out, you, the princess, will have more places to spend your money. Besides, you still have to go to school, so it will probably cost more."
"Yes, yes." Xiaonuituanzi continued to fool around.
"Originally I was hesitant, but if this is the case, then I know what to do." Zhou Yunning rubbed the little breast dumpling's head with a solemn expression, "Don't worry, mother will not wrong you in the slightest."
Ruan Mianmian opened her starry eyes and smiled sweetly: "Well, my mother is the best."
"I want to go back to Zhou Mansion to discuss something with your uncles. Will you go with my mother?"
"No, I'm tired, I want to take a rest." Ruan Mianmian rubbed his eyes.
Zhou Yunning didn't force herself even if she had something on her mind. She told Jiu'er to take care of her carefully, and then she took Shuang'er out.
"Princess, the third lady was deceived by you." Jiu'er snickered.
"Actually, my mother is a member of the Zhou family at heart. She is very talented in business and should not be buried."
"You are not short of money." Jiu'er did not ask but affirmed, "Tell me, what are your plans next?"
Ruan Mianmian showed a sly smile: "Anyway, I am idle. You should have heard the rumors outside."
"Well, it's about the third lady." Jiu'er nodded.
"Are you saying it was groundless?" Ruan Mianmian's eyes flashed.
Jiu'er chuckled: "There's no need to investigate this matter, it's just Gu Ling'an who is up to something."
"I heard that they have been living in Maoer Hutong for a few days now, and he probably doesn't have much money left." Ruan Mianmian calculated.
"Let's go and take a look." Ruan Mianmian suddenly became interested.
The master and servant slipped out of the back door of the Marquis' Mansion, not riding in the carriage, but just walking.
