Chapter 64: Can't sit still and want to leave the house
From a young age, Li Ling felt that if it weren't for the fact that she was a daughter, and the love given to her by her father and mother, Li Yu would not be the crown prince.
Li Ling was arrogant because of her favor, and she used excuses to bully Li Yu, but his repeated forbearance made her look down on her younger brother even more.
"We'll see, come here."
Li Ling waved to Shuangmei, she listened and the two of them murmured for a long time.
As soon as she woke up, Ruan Mianmian saw her mother, Zhou Yuning, sitting on the bedside looking at her with a complicated expression.
"Mom, what happened?" Ruan Mianmian sat up suddenly, "Am I making you worried because I can't wake you up again?"
"No, no." Zhou Yuning wiped the tears from her eyes with joy on her face, "Mother is happy."
Ruan Mianmian frowned: "I think you are more worried."
"Mother is happy and a little worried."
"why?"
"You are very famous now, even more famous than your father back then. They say you are a genius prodigy, but my mother is really scared."
Ruan Mianmian's face dropped. She didn't expect that even in ancient times, words such as genius and child prodigy would still be attached to her, and she didn't expect that she would be labeled with such a label just by doing something as simple as playing with a Rubik's Cube.
These days, Ruan Mianmian knows more from other people's words. They say that Ruan Qi is too outstanding and jealous of his talents, which is why he died young.
Zhou Yuning was justifiably afraid, but Ruan Mianmian did not believe such unfounded rumors.
"Mother, there is no need to worry." Ruan Mianmian hugged Zhou Yunning and pressed his face against her chest, "No matter what I look like, Mianmian will still be Mianmian."
"You are right, mother is worrying too much, Mianmian will always be my Mianmian." Zhou Yuning hugged Ruan Mianmian tightly.
"Mother, I want to go out for a walk." Ruan Mianmian said coquettishly.
Zhou Yunning shook her head: "No, your grandmother just sent Aunt Yun to come here and tell you to have a good rest."
"I've had enough rest. I've been too nervous recently. It's better for my body to go out and relax."
"Ask your grandmother. You can only go out if she agrees."
"Okay, I'll go to Fu'an Hall." Ruan Mianmian jumped off the bed.
"Come back." Zhou Yunning grabbed Ruan Mianmian, "You kid, you haven't washed, changed, dressed up, or had breakfast yet."
"That's right." Ruan Mianmian stuck out her tongue.
Reaching out to touch Ruan Mianmian's soft hair, Zhou Yunning sighed. No matter how smart she was, she was still a child, and she didn't know whether what she had now was a blessing or a curse.
"Hurry, someone is here." Ruan Mianmian raised his voice.
"You're frizzy, take your time." Zhou Yunning stood up and saw Shuang'er and Jiu'er coming in with the little maids.
After giving a few instructions, Zhou Yunning walked out the door. When she reached the door, she turned back: "By the way, Mianmian."
"Mom, is there anything else?" Ruan Mianmian responded while changing her clothes.
"I'll go to the hall, you take your time, don't be in a hurry. Your grandmother will be there even if she's not in Fu'an Hall."
Ruan Mianmian asked strangely: "Why is grandma going to the lobby so early in the morning?"
"Miss, the old lady is in charge now, have you forgotten?" Shuang'er asked.
Zhou Yunning nodded and said, "Yes, your grandmother asked me to follow you and take a look."
"Mom, you have to study hard and don't live up to grandma's expectations." Ruan Mianmian's eyes wandered, it seems that her grandma has made an idea for her mother.
"I just saw your grandmother working hard and served her with tea and water. There is nothing I can't learn."
Ruan Mianmian's eyes flashed, and she didn't believe it. Even if her mother didn't have that intention, her grandmother definitely did.
After breakfast, Ruan Mianmian returned to the room, took a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into her arms.
The emperor was very considerate. There were also banknotes stuffed under the box containing gold, silver and jewelry. Ruan Mianmian counted a hundred thousand taels.
Ruan Mianmian secretly hid the banknotes, which were the capital for his own fortune.
Ruan Mianmian went out today just to go to the bank to save this large amount of money. As for her daily expenses, her mother, grandfather, and grandmother gave her a lot of money, secretly and openly.
After leaving the room, Ruan Mianmian, accompanied by Jiu'er, left the Yanlong Courtyard and walked towards the hall. Unexpectedly, she caught a glimpse of Chen Wanyu and Qin Ruolan in the distance halfway.
It seemed that they were moving. Although it was equivalent to being kicked out of the Hou Mansion, Chen Wanyu and Qin Ruolan still looked arrogant because of the children in their bellies.
The two of them shouted to the servants around them as they walked, making an earth-shattering noise all the way, as if they were going on a trip.
Ruan Mianmian's sharp eyes caught sight of Ruan Chan who was helplessly following behind the two of them. In addition, there were Ruan Jin and Ruan Zhao who were silently following them at a distance.
Pulling Jiu'er and quickly dodging behind a nearby tree, Ruan Mianmian made a silent gesture.
Watching the group of them walking along the path and walking away from the big tree, Ruan Mianmian slowly revealed his head from behind the tree.
"Miss, why should we hide?"
"Although eldest aunt and Qin Ruolan are hateful, eldest uncle is very innocent. Besides, I'm afraid that the two brothers will be embarrassed if they don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face."
"The eldest and second young masters are really unlucky to have such a mother."
"You can choose everything else, but parents can't choose." Ruan Mianmian turned and walked towards another path, "Let's go to the lobby."
Ruan Mianmian deliberately delayed. Unexpectedly, when she came to the hall, she saw many people kneeling inside and outside.
It seems that grandma wants to establish her authority and completely rectify the Hou Mansion. Also, the eldest aunt has controlled the Hou Mansion for so many years, and the servants are mixed, and I am afraid it will not be solved in a short time.
"Mother Yun." Ruan Mianmian looked up and saw the person walking out of the hall.
"Princess, why are you here?" Aunt Yun walked towards Ruan Mianmian with a smile.
Ruan Mianmian lowered her voice: "Mother Yun, how long will my grandmother and mother be busy?"
"I'm afraid I'll be busy until the afternoon." Aunt Yun looked around and then knelt down and whispered softly, "Today, the people in Hengwu Courtyard and those in Lanyuan have moved out, so the old lady is busy."
"Mammy, please tell grandma and mother that I will go out for a walk and will be back at noon." Ruan Mianmian took Grandma Yun's hand and shook it coquettishly.
"Oh, my princess, my servants don't dare to make decisions without permission." Aunt Yun stood up, "I'll go and report it."
"I'm taking Sister Jiu'er with me." After Ruan Mianmian said that, she turned around and ran away.
"Mommy, let the old lady and the third lady rest assured." Jiuer said hastily and hurriedly caught up with Ruan Mianmian.
Aunt Yun stamped her feet, thinking that she might as well go in and report first. After hearing this, Mrs. Ruan just smiled and blamed Ruan Mianmian for being naughty, and reassured Zhou Yuning.
Since the old lady said so, Zhou Yuning could only smile and agree.
Ruan Mianmian took Jiu'er out of the house. When they passed the garden, they saw Ruan Geng and Ruan Zhu returning to the house from a distance.
"Princess, why are we hiding again?" Jiu'er asked puzzledly.
"Keep your voice down. If grandpa sees us, we won't be able to get out." This chapter has been completed!
