Back at the Yanlong Courtyard, Ruan Mianmian went straight to Zhou Yunning's bedroom, pushed the door open and saw her sitting alone in a daze.
"Mother." Ruan Mianmian told her about Guining embroidery workshop.
Zhou Yunning finally showed a happy look: "Really, that's great. Giving him so much money is beyond my wildest dreams."
"This doesn't prove that my mother's embroidery skills are superb, so people are willing to pay such a high price."
"I've always wanted to embroider a wedding dress, and it's just right, just right." Zhou Yuning said with emotion, "I wonder who is lucky enough to wear it?"
Seeing Zhou Yuning regaining her composure, Ruan Mianmian was very happy.
Perhaps because her grandmother felt pressured by her mother's intention to be the head of the household, embroidery seems to be more suitable for her now.
"Mother, I went back to my room to change my clothes." Ruan Mianmian stood up after finishing her business.
After leaving Zhou Yunning's room and returning to the bedroom, Ruan Mianmian's first thing was to call Shuang'er for questioning, but he couldn't explain why.
"Let's do this. If you follow my mother these days, just tell me that I'm not at ease and ask you to serve her personally." Ruan Mianmian ordered.
That night, Ruan Mianmian was about to take a rest after washing up, when Jiu'er unexpectedly walked in and handed her something.
Hey, it's her own handkerchief. On Ruan Mianmian's handkerchief, Zhou Yunning would embroider small Kapok blossoms on the corner. The word "cotton" is the same as "mian", which is the homophony of her name.
Opening it and seeing a letter inside, Ruan Mianmian looked at Jiu'er suspiciously.
Jiu'er said helplessly: "Miss Xiaoxiao was sent here by someone. I didn't expect that she would come to the door so soon."
Yes, I left the handkerchief and the name "Jiuer" at that time. Did something happen to Xiaoxiao?
Ruan Mianmian picked up the letter and read it. It turned out that Xiaoxiao asked her to help deliver a message to someone at Tiandao Academy.
"So I was asked to deliver a message to eldest brother." Ruan Mianmian smiled and handed the letter to Jiu'er.
After reading the letter, Jiu'er looked at Ruan Mianmian in surprise: "Princess, what's going on? Is Miss Xiaoxiao really an old acquaintance of the eldest young master?"
"Well, they know each other." Ruan Mianmian said perfunctorily.
"So that's it." Jiu'er finally understood, "I can read, but she writes so elegantly that I still can't understand it."
"It's nothing, just don't worry about her." Ruan Mianmian stuffed the letter into the pillow, "Sister Jiu'er, don't tell big brother about this yet."
"Why? The letter is for the eldest son. I'll be done with it if I deliver it."
"I'll deliver it to my eldest brother myself tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll just pretend I don't know about this."
"I'm tired, let's rest." Ruan Mianmian yawned.
Jiu'er helped Ruan Mianmian cover herself with the quilt, pulled up the bed curtain, and retreated to the outside room.
Ruan Mianmian opened his eyes, not feeling sleepy at all.
Gently holding the letter that had just been stuffed under the pillow in his hand, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Bingying's letter to Ruan Jin was a poem. Ruan Mianmian looked at it and murmured: "Can this feeling be remembered in memory? It's just that I was at a loss at the time."
Lin Bingying's farewell meaning can be seen from the poem. Her grandfather was right, sooner rather than later, Ruan Mianmian decided to solve the problem as soon as possible.
The next day, Ruan Mianmian took Jiu'er out again. The two of them sat in the carriage, and she took out the banknotes from her arms and counted them again and again.
"Princess, where do you want to go?" Jiu'er was really scared, "Why did the old Marquis and the old lady allow you to go out for two days in a row?"
"Today we go to Yuan Yuan Building to do some business." Ruan Mianmian answered with his eyes never leaving the banknote in his hand.
Jiu'er was a little surprised: "It's so fast. This will cost a lot of money."
"Yeah, I don't know how much is left?" Ruan Mianmian raised his head and sighed, "The greatest sorrow in life is that the cooked duck flies away and the money you got is gone."
Phew, Jiu'er couldn't help laughing, and Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Princess, please collect it quickly." Jiu'er said kindly, "This much money is enough to buy several houses."
"I don't know how that mother Li will open her mouth like a lion?" Ruan Mianmian
Jiuer's eyes widened: "Princess, are you going to Yuanyuan Tower again? That's a bottomless pit. No, I have to stop you today. When I get back, I will report to the old Marquis if you go there again.
It's bad for your reputation."
Ruan Mianmian couldn't help laughing when she saw Jiu'er's nervous look: "Sister Jiu'er, I went to Yuanyuan Building on the order of my grandfather."
"The princess is joking."
"I'm not kidding. Listen, wait and see what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll have to use your strength to solve the problem today."
"Do it? It's no big deal." Jiu'er looked at Ruan Mianmian with half-belief and doubt, "The princess has revealed more or less, so I have the confidence in my heart."
"You guessed it right." Ruan Mianmian clapped his hands, "According to my grandfather's order, I want to bring Xiaoxiao out."
"why?"
"She is Lin Bingying, the daughter of Minister Lin of the Ministry of Industry."
"That's it." Jiu'er understood.
The carriage stopped in front of the door of Yuanyuan Tower. Ruan Mianmian was familiar with the road this time, opened the door and walked in without hesitation.
"Hey, the lady is here again." The guy from yesterday happened to be guarding the door. "Are you here to listen to Miss Xiaoxiao again?"
"Stop talking nonsense and call Mother Li out quickly."
Jiu'er stepped forward, and the guy subconsciously took a step back. He still remembered the slap yesterday.
"Go quickly, go quickly." Ruan Mianmian flew out an ingot of silver, "Tell Miss Xiaoxiao to come right away, I don't have much patience to wait."
After taking the silver and biting it habitually, he put it in his arms. The waiter was full of flattery: "Old place, please take a seat in the private room upstairs. I will invite them right away."
"Princess, why are you giving him money again?" Jiu'er muttered.
Ruan Mianmian lowered her voice: "If my talk with Mother Li breaks down later, just look at my eyes and act accordingly."
"Okay." Jiu'er nodded repeatedly.
"If anything happens, protect Xiaoxiao first."
Jiuer disagreed: "My mission is to protect you."
"Okay, okay, just act according to the opportunity." At this time, Ruan Mianmian Wuxia talked more with Jiu'er.
As soon as we sat down in the private room, the waiter brought tea and snacks: "Miss, you have tea and snacks first. They will be here soon."
Ruan Mianmian picked up the snacks and ate them without any courtesy, while Jiuer was serving tea and serving water beside her. Mother Li saw this scene when she brought Xiaoxiao into the house.
Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment when she saw Ruan Mianmian, wondering if there was a reply so soon. She looked dazed and bowed as a greeting.
Mother Li asked politely with a hypocritical smile: "Miss, do you still want to listen to Xiaoxiao playing music today?"
As she spoke, Mrs. Li stretched out two fingers and rubbed them together as a hint: "Once it's like, it's like that. Now I'll give you a discount."
"What? You look down on me? Don't you need to discount me?"
