Luo Ran's angry look fell into someone's eyes. Not only was he not lethal at all, but he also evoked an evil fire.
That night, the woman outside the bathroom was busy boiling water until midnight. It was not until it was completely quiet inside that she rubbed her swollen arms and breathed a sigh of relief.
One of the nuns took advantage of the fact that no one was around and whispered: "With this attitude, we will soon have another young master in our house!"
The other nanny nodded in agreement: "Yes."
-
On October 18th, Luo Ran slept until three o'clock in the morning as usual. It was not until Qing Ning and Jing Xing lay beside her bed and kept calling mother that she slowly opened her eyes.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, I somehow remembered that day again.
Although she Ming Youqing wiped the dressing table with soapy water countless times afterwards, she always felt a little uncomfortable every time she saw it. She even thought about replacing it.
But someone who always responded to her requests lazily said: "Unless you change one every day, the result will be the same."
Luo Ran simply didn't know how to describe his shamelessness, but he also gave up the idea of changing the dressing table.
She looked at herself in the mirror with her rosy face, and was thankful that someone was so kind last night and agreed to let her rest for a few days.
Jing Xing still sat obediently on the couch and played with the toys in his hands, while Qing Ning rarely sat quietly since she could hold things while walking.
Especially every time Luo Ran was dressing up, she would hold the legs of the dressing table with her little hands and stand by and watch intently.
The floor in the room was very hot, so Grandma Wang made soft little shoes for the two children. She didn't worry about the children catching cold even if they stood on the ground for a long time.
While combing Luo Ran's hair, Youqing looked at the serious young lady next to her and couldn't help but said: "Madam, look at how well-behaved our Miss Qingning is. She never grabs things without your permission. .”
Xiao Qingning understood that Youqing was praising her, and showed a big smile to Youqing. If Youqing hadn't been working, he would have picked her up and felt strange for a while.
Luo Ran looked down at his daughter, his eyes full of pride.
It stands to reason that children of this age will not be able to help but take whatever they like. But Qing Ning and Jing Xing, apart from liking to grab things randomly when they were a few months old, even if they like it now that they are older, they will reach out at will, and when they are in a hurry, they will just point at the object and shout "want, want", etc. You nodded in agreement before the two of you went to get it.
Luo Ran rummaged through the jewelry box and found a bead flower. Seeing that the beads on it were solid and there were no sharp objects, he gave it to Qing Ning.
Xiao Qingning got the gift, happily picked it up and weighed it on her head.
Luo Ran couldn't help but laugh: "You are a smart little guy with only a few hairs, can you wear it?"
Finally, Youqing thought of a way and tied two more long straps under the pearl flower. Comb the few hairs on Little Qing Ning's head into a small knot, then put the beaded flower on, and tie the two lower ropes to the chin, and finally put it on reluctantly.
Little Qingning, who was wearing beaded flowers, was held by her mother and stood by the mirror and refused to leave. It wasn't until Fu Jinan came in that she ran to her father to show off.
Fu Jinan didn't understand at first. He frowned and looked at the beads on his daughter's head, which made him feel panicked.
When he looked up, he saw Luo Ran's suppressed smile. He instantly understood and hugged Qing Ning and nodded seriously: "Wow, Daddy's little Qing Ning is so beautiful!"
This sentence was so incredible that little Qingning couldn't bear to pick off the pearl flowers for the whole day. Even if her grandma took them off when she was sleeping, she would put them on immediately when she woke up.
Luo Ran couldn't help but said: "I don't know who this stinky beauty followed."
Fu Jinan looked at her with a smile: "Didn't you love beauty when you were a child?"
Luo Ran said dumbly, which girl doesn't love beauty? It is a woman's nature to love beauty.
While the couple was talking, the servants outside announced: "Sir, madam, someone is coming from the palace."
The corner of Fu Jinan's mouth curled up, showing an expression that was indeed true.
Luo Ran got up and came to the main hall. Fu Jinan and the two children were inside but did not come out.
The person who came was a nun from the palace, whom I had never seen before.
"Old slave, please visit Shanning County Lord, County Lord Da'an."
When grandma comes in, she salutes according to the rules.
Luo Ran said: "Mom, please get up."
Grandma stood up and introduced herself. She turned out to be from Fengluan Palace.
He took out a post from his arms and offered it with both hands: "Tomorrow Miss Yue will enter the palace. The empress happened to remember that she has not seen the county lord for a while, and she happens to have a companion. She would like to invite you to come to the palace with Miss Yue to talk. .”
Luo Ran signaled Youqing to take the post and said, "Okay, I understand. You go back and tell the Queen that I will visit the Queen with Sister Wan tomorrow."
After seeing off the nanny, Luo Ran turned back to the inner room and smiled: "Is she the queen?"
Fu Jinan raised his eyebrows: "Not sure, but it's obvious that the queen wants to reap the benefits."
Luo Ran looked at him and asked, "Is there anything you need to tell me?"
Fu Jinan smiled and shook his head: "Let's wait until you come back."
It seemed that she already knew why the queen was looking for her.
After Fu Jinan left, Youqing asked in a low voice: "Madam, what does the Queen mean?"
Luo Ran thought of the Queen's words to test him that day and shook his head: "I don't know either."
Then he turned around and asked, "Where's Chunyu?"
You Qing smiled and said: "Didn't you ask her to inquire about Mrs. Xie a few days ago? She may have gained some insights in the past two days. She ran to the east courtyard when she saw her, and the slaves had trouble finding her."
Since they found out that Xie Nianyi did not enter the Fu family's ancestral grave after her death, Youqing and the others simply called her Mrs. Xie.
Luo Ran nodded: "Chun Yu has a lively temper and a measured heart, so there is no need to worry."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voices of Zizhu and Zifu greeting Chunyu outside the door.
Youqing smiled and said: "She really doesn't talk about it."
"Who doesn't talk about it?"
When Chunyu came in, she heard Youqing's words and then asked.
Youqing smiled and excused himself to go to the small kitchen, leaving only the master and the servant in the house.
Luo Ran said: "Youqing and I were talking about you just now, and you came back in the blink of an eye."
Chunyu rubbed her hands and smiled: "Madam is generous and easy to talk to. Those little maids in the east courtyard are chasing after slaves every day, trying to get some benefits from slaves. Especially those nuns, who are lazy and smart. I really don’t know how that Fang family manages the house! The east courtyard was in a mess all day!”
"oh?"
Luo Ran is a little curious about this. She remembers that in her previous life, there were quite some rules in the Duke's mansion. Is there anything she doesn't know?
Looking at Madam's expression, Chunyu couldn't help but said: "Madam, you don't know that the East Courtyard is just a front for the Duke of Jingguo's palace, and there is chaos inside!"
Luo Ran: "Why do you say that?"
Chunyu snorted softly: "What else could be the reason? Duke Jing doesn't care about anything, the prince spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, and the Duke's wife doesn't know what she is busy with every day. I heard that the old lady's yard is so smelly that no one can enter it." He has no one to take care of him anymore, so it’s good to be alive.”
"By the way, the slave also found out something."
Luo Ran still knew something about the old lady of Lord Jingguo. Before she married into the Fu family in her last life, the old lady had no one to take care of her. She was as skinny as a stick, and her body was soaked in filth and covered with bedsores. It was simply miserable.
It was because she took good care of her after entering the house that she became clean and her body recovered. But even so, the old lady of Duke Jingguo still beat and scolded me, finding faults everywhere.
Thinking about it like this, she really wanted to go and see it again.
