The three brothers laughed even louder. Zhou Yuning who was in the room was attracted and came out and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
At this moment, Mrs. Ruan walked into the courtyard with the support of Gu Qingrou, and they couldn't help laughing when they saw Ruan Mianmian.
Ruan Mianmian's little hand wiped the muddy dots into streaks, just like a cat with a colorful face. The nuggets puffed up their cheeks and made faces, which looked even more ridiculous.
There was laughter in the Yanlong Courtyard, and suddenly a sharp voice sounded.
"Oh, it's so lively."
As soon as the voice fell, Qin Ruolan helped Chen Wanyu and walked in. It was a rare visitor. This was the first time they had come back to the house since Ruan Mianmian fell into the water.
Ruan Mianmian suddenly remembered an old saying: A weasel has no good intentions when it pays New Year greetings to a rooster.
"The old lady is here too." Chen Wanyu didn't expect to meet her in the Yanlong Courtyard. No wonder the servants said that the third room was in trouble now.
After exchanging a few pleasantries outside, Zhou Yunning, as the host, greeted everyone inside and sat down.
"Shuang'er, take Mianmian down quickly to wash herself and change her clothes."
"Now is no better than before. Which family's young lady behaved like this? The third brother and sister should take good care of Mianmian." Chen Wanyu couldn't help but speak out.
Zhou Yunning responded lukewarmly: "Mianmian is still young, and it's normal to be playful. I don't want to restrain her too early."
Chen Wanyu has been domineering for a long time, and Gu Qingrou is no match for her. Nowadays, Mrs. Ruan is determined to see if Zhou Yuning can cope with it.
Seeing that Mrs. Ruan remained silent, Chen Wanyu raised her voice: "No matter how young you are, you still have to abide by the rules and understand etiquette. If people see you looking like this, you will lose the face of the Hou Mansion."
"Sister-in-law, I've said this. Mianmian is playing in her yard, why do you think she has lost the face of the Marquis?" Zhou Yunning's face was full of displeasure.
Chen Wanyu became more and more proud and lectured: "Even in the third-bedroom courtyard, it is not good for others to see you. Miss Qianjin must pay attention to etiquette at all times."
Zhou Yunning's sharp gaze fell on Qin Ruolan: "It's my business to discipline Mianmian, so I don't bother my sister-in-law. But some people don't. They don't even say hello to their elders when they see them. It's up to my sister-in-law to go back and teach them etiquette."
After entering the door just now, the juniors saluted the elders one by one. Even the youngest Ruan Mianmian bowed to say hello to Chen Wanyu no matter how much she hated her.
Only Qin Ruolan, after saluting Mrs. Ruan and Gu Qingrou, ignored Zhou Yunning and got close to several cousins.
In the past, Qin Ruolan had Chen Wanyu's backing and never took the third wife seriously, let alone Zhou Yuning, the third wife. She didn't mean to do it on purpose, it was just a habit. She never thought that she would be treated in front of Zhou Yuning today.
Everyone used it to criticize Chen Wanyu.
Ruan Mianmian almost applauded. She had good intentions and tried every means to encourage her mother to straighten her back and be confident. It seemed to have worked.
In the past, when Zhou Yunning saw Chen Wanyu, her aura was a bit weaker, and she was even more careful not to raise her head in front of Mrs. Ruan. Now she looks quite proud.
"Auntie, you should discipline those who should be disciplined. As for me, who is useless, I have my mother to discipline me, and my grandmother to teach me." The meaning behind Ruan Mianmian's words is obvious, that is, it is not his own turn.
Come to Chen Wanyu to point fingers.
Chen Wanyu was humiliated by the mother and daughter one after another. She was so angry in her heart, but she still swallowed it hard. A small impatience would ruin a big plan.
"I heard that Mianmian is very different from the past. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it is true." Chen Wanyu forced a smile on her face, "Ruolan, although there is no common etiquette in the family, you still have to pay attention to details."
He just lost the face of the Marquis Mansion, and when he came to Qin Ruolan's place, he started a family without common etiquette. It was really a double standard.
Ruan Mianmian said innocently: "Auntie is really good at talking. Mother, you should learn more, maybe you can use it one day."
The dumplings with small breasts are really amazing. Gu Qingrou couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering. Seeing her smile, many people also chuckled.
As Chen Wanyu's sons, Ruan Jin and Ruan Zhao both looked embarrassed when they heard this.
Forget it, to save some face for the two brothers, Ruan Mianmian saluted: "Grandma, granddaughter, go change clothes."
Seeing Chen Wanyu's face turning green and white, Zhou Yuning bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Mianmian is young, so you don't want to be on the same level as her."
In the past, when Qin Ruolan said something wrong or did something wrong, Chen Wanyu always used this sentence as an excuse to excuse her. Zhou Yunning treated the other person the same way.
Gu Qingrou suppressed her laughter and added fuel to the flames: "Three younger brothers and sisters are well said, very well said. Don't worry, my sister-in-law has a lot of money, how can she care about a little dumpling with breasts like Mianmian?"
It seemed that the two bitches, the first and third rooms, were colluding to deal with him. Chen Wanyu was so angry that the corners of her mouth twitched.
Qin Ruolan gently tugged on Chen Wanyu's skirt. The two of them did not come here to quarrel with the third room.
The people present were really convinced by Chen Wanyu, and they could still smile as if nothing had happened at this moment, but they didn't know that the anger in her heart was like burning.
"Of course I won't take it to heart." Chen Wanyu turned to Zhou Yuning, "Three younger brothers and sisters, don't blame the sister-in-law for talking too much. I love Mianmian deeply and take full responsibility for her."
"Okay, we are all a family." Mrs. Ruan was very satisfied with Zhou Yunning's performance, "Say less, you are not thirsty, but I am."
With so many people coming at the same time, the maids served the tea a little slower, and the tea was served just in time.
I used to think that Zhou Yunning was a petty and weak-tempered person who couldn't stand on the stage, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
A few words could make Chen Wanyu suffer a lot and still laugh along with her. Mrs. Ruan realized that she had really underestimated this third daughter-in-law of a lowly background.
Everyone was drinking tea with their own thoughts. The old lady didn't speak, and no one spoke, just waiting for someone to break the silence.
"Mother, Princess Jing has invited Ruolan to her poetry show tomorrow, and I want her to bring Mianmian with her to see something." Chen Wanyu said the purpose of her trip, and she seemed to be thinking about Ruan Mianmian sincerely.
Mrs. Ruan's face sank on the spot, obviously unhappy when she heard this.
It was not Gu Qingrou's turn to speak, so she just sat and drank tea.
Zhou Yun Ning vaguely felt that something was wrong, and was thinking about how to politely decline.
"I'm not going." Ruan Mianmian, who had returned from dressing and freshening up, refused before Zhou Yuning even entered the door.
"Sister Mianmian, you don't know that the princess's poems are very famous. How many wealthy ladies in the capital are trying to get there." Qin Ruolan stepped forward and reached out affectionately to take Ruan Mianmian's hand.
I haven't settled the blame with you for pushing me into the water, and now I'm pretending to be affectionate. Ruan Mianmian pretended not to notice and walked directly past Qin Ruolan.
Qin Ruolan retracted her hand and turned back to Chen Wanyu angrily.
