After walking to the door and taking the tray from Adong, Ruan Mianmian motioned for him to step aside and handed the tea bowl to his grandfather.
An old man and a young man were sitting across the coffee table, seemingly drinking tea leisurely. Ruan Mianmian held her breath and waited for Ruan Geng to speak. In fact, even if she didn't say anything, she would have guessed a little bit.
"Those were taken back secretly by Ruan Yi from the small study room." Ruan Geng pointed to the table.
"Oh." Ruan Mianmian responded.
Ruan Geng raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are not curious."
"A little bit. I'll watch it if my grandfather lets me see it." Ruan Mianmian knew very well that it involved the secrets of the Ruan family. She was curious but did not need to know.
Who can believe that such a little baby can be more calm than an adult? Ruan Geng stroked his beard and smiled with relief.
"Let's take a look." Ruan Geng did not conceal his embarrassment, "Can you tell me what my grandfather should do?"
Now that Ruan Geng had spoken, Ruan Mianmian immediately stepped forward, picked up the things on the table and looked at them carefully.
It has to be said that Ruan Mianmian expected it, but it was also unexpected for her.
"Grandpa, I'm sad." Ruan Mianmian didn't ask but affirmed.
Ruan Geng nodded slightly: "I didn't expect him to do this."
Ruan Mianmian, who held the letter in Yangyang's hand, asked again: "How do you plan to handle this matter?"
"I will never let Marquis Ding'an's reputation be ruined by the Ruan family."
Ruan Geng's words already gave the answer, but he still had doubts: "Why? Why did he do this?"
"Colluding with Li Gong is equivalent to sending the Ruan family to a dead end." Ruan Mianmian was very happy, "Fortunately, it was still too late."
"I'm going to have him captured. If I have to, for the sake of the Ruan family's reputation for hundreds of years, I have no choice but to be ruthless."
"Grandpa, there is no need to alert the enemy. It's better to invite you to the urn."
"How should I invite you?"
"Didn't I say it before?" Ruan Mianmian winked at Ruan Geng, "Does Grandpa feel unlucky? How about we think of something else?"
Ruan Geng shook his head: "I don't have so many worries, but if these are brought to the emperor by someone who is interested..."
"Grandpa, what we have to do is to kill all possibilities before they happen." Ruan Mianmian rolled his eyes, "Have Second Uncle and Second Aunt visited you?"
"Your second aunt has been here twice. He just came last night." Ruan Geng said casually.
Ruan Mianmian frowned slightly: "Grandpa, let Hongyu come in and take a look."
After being stunned for a moment, Ruan Geng nodded in agreement.
After Hongyu entered the door, she looked around, and soon her eyes fell on the incense burner in the corner.
Ruan Mianmian asked nervously: "Grandpa, did you have some incense last night?"
"I usually light soothing incense before going to bed. I had something on my mind yesterday, so I stopped lighting it." Ruan Geng cast his doubtful eyes on the incense burner and muttered, "It's impossible."
While talking, Hongyu had already picked up the incense burner and sniffed it carefully. Soon, she put down the incense burner, took out two pills from her arms and handed them to Ruan Geng and Ruan Mianmian respectively, and took one herself.
Ruan Mianmian threw it into his mouth without hesitation, and thoughtfully poured a glass of water and handed it to Ruan Geng.
When the grandfather and grandson were taking the pills, Hongyu was not idle. When she turned around and came back, she took a piece of cloth in her hand and poured out all the contents of the incense burner. After wrapping them tightly, she wiped them
Leng Khan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Poison is added to the incense. It's the same poison as the poison on the chair legs, but the dose is very high." Hongyu said and couldn't help but pat her heart.
Ruan Mianmian asked: "What would happen if my grandfather ordered it for one night?"
Hongyu showed a scared look: "Fortunately, Mr. Hou didn't light this incense yesterday. Otherwise, even if I have extraordinary abilities, it's hard to say whether I can get this life back. Even if I get it back, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back from now on."
He is a useless person."
Ruan Geng couldn't help but slapped his palm on the coffee table and his voice trembled: "He can't wait so hard."
Ruan Mianmian knew very well that she had lit the incense the night before, but it was fine yesterday. After he came last night, there was something wrong with the incense. No one believed it had nothing to do with him.
"Use the trick, I want to see what he wants?" Ruan Geng made a decisive decision with a dark face.
Ruan Mianmian's lips curled up into a sneer: "Grandpa should be bedridden, Hongyu, is there any way to make it look like he's been poisoned?"
"It really does." Hongyu smiled, "I just had fun before, thinking I could fool people by getting something like this, but I didn't expect it to actually come in handy. I went to get it right away."
After Hongyu left in a hurry, Ruan Mianmian helped Ruan Geng towards the bed.
"Grandfather, if you cut it off, it will be cut off. Li Gong has a rebellious intention, and there will be no good results if he helps the emperor do evil."
"I know that the centuries-old reputation of Ding'an Hou Mansion must not be destroyed." Ruan Geng said firmly.
Ruan Mianmian was confused: "Why do you think he can convince Li Gong?"
Ruan Geng remained silent. After a long time, he slowly spoke while stroking his beard.
"Of my three sons, your father is the smartest. I once had high hopes for him, but it's a pity, it's a pity."
"Is he smart?" Ruan Mianmian shook his head, "I think he is just a brainless person, and he was fooled around by Gu Ling'an."
"Mianmian, actually your mother is right, he is no longer the person he used to be."
Ruan Mianmian suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ruan Geng in surprise: "Grandpa, you don't want to tell me that Daddy is a fake, do you?"
"A lot has changed since Ruan Qi came back. I specially sent people to Yangzhou to inquire about it. I also asked your grandfather to find out more. He injured his brain when he fell off a cliff and fell into the water."
After finishing speaking, Ruan Geng finally said what he had been hiding in his heart that he had never dared to say, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Blinking his big eyes, Ruan Mianmian finally came to his senses: "Didn't you lose your memory after you hit your brain?"
"Not only did he lose his memory, but he also hurt his brain. Fortunately, he didn't become a fool." Ruan Geng exhaled a long breath.
"Wait, wait, Grandpa, let me figure it out." Ruan Mianmian's mind was wandering, "You mean, he didn't become a fool, but his brain was still damaged and he was no longer as smart as he used to be."
"That's probably what you mean. Your grandfather mentioned it to me when he came back to the capital. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but now seeing what he did is really a headache."
"Grandpa, don't worry too much. Since he is not stupid, he will be able to see the truth clearly if he spends more time." Ruan Mianmian's eyes flashed, "What I am most afraid of is that I will give you a granddaughter or grandson by then, and then I will spend the rest of my life with you.
It’s all unclear.”
Ruan Geng stretched out his hand and flicked Ruan Mianmian's forehead: "You said that you are a little kid, but you really have eight hundred minds. I have thought of this a long time ago. There are people around him watching."
"Someone is watching, what about me going to see them?" Ruan Mianmian reacted immediately.
"You are a brat, but you have a good idea." Ruan Geng smiled, "Originally I was worried about how to wake him up, so this is good."
