"Girl, is it really you who is back? Go in quickly. The old lady heard that you are back. She still doesn't believe it. She was about to send the old slave out to have a look. Unfortunately, she met the girl coming over."
After saying that, he took Ruan Tang's hand and walked into the main courtyard.
Ruan Tang had never seen such a passionate side of Grandma Liu. Although she was respectful to her in the past, she was always respectful.
Is it really because of her relationship with Chu Mu that things are like this?
Sure enough, it's up to people to order the dishes.
Ruan Tang was pulled into the inner room of the main courtyard by her. Mrs. Ruan was sitting on the soft couch, holding a golden tiger and stroking it.
Hearing footsteps and looking up to see Ruan Tang, he was stunned for a moment.
Aunt Liu quickly stepped forward and said, "Old lady, the eldest girl is back."
Mrs. Ruan finally came back to her senses and then put on a kind smile.
"Is Tang'er back? Come over to grandma quickly and let her see. Have you lost weight these days in Prince Ning's Mansion?"
Ruan Tang really couldn't stand her hypocritical appearance, but she would also ask her about the whereabouts of Chun Han and Xia Zhu later, so it was not appropriate to fall out with her now.
She took a few steps forward, but stopped a few steps away from Mrs. Ruan, and then blessed her: "Ruan Tang has met my grandmother."
Seeing that she stayed far away, Mrs. Ruan put the golden tiger in her arms aside, then got down from the soft couch, walked to her, took her hand, and then affectionately pulled her to sit on the couch. .
Then he looked at her lovingly.
Ruan Tang thought to himself: Aren't you tired from acting?
There are obviously no outsiders here, who is she trying to show off to?
Ruan Tang didn't want to play the role of a loving ancestor and a filial piety with her, so he went straight to the point: "Grandma, I came to disturb you today because I want to ask you if my maid Xia Zhu has returned to the house?"
This old Mrs. Ruan seems to have nothing to do, but Ruan Tang has been here for a while and knows that she still has the final say in everything in the house.
Even if a little girl is assigned, she has to go through them one by one.
Therefore, Xia Zhu and Chunhan came back here and were not in her yard, so their whereabouts must have been arranged by Mrs. Ruan.
"Your maid? Didn't I follow you to Prince Ning's Mansion?" Mrs. Ruan looked confused.
"I followed His Highness Prince Ning out to look for medicine. I was delayed for several months. When I came back, the housekeeper of the palace said that Xia Zhu had returned to the Marquis of Jing'an on his own and had brought my other maid with him."
"But I just returned to Haitang Garden and didn't see them, so I wanted to ask if grandma arranged for them to go to another courtyard?"
Mrs. Ruan frowned slightly and looked confused.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? No one told grandma, Nanny Liu, what's going on?"
Seeing Mrs. Ruan questioning her, Grandma Liu quickly stepped forward and said, "Report to the old lady, I have not heard about the eldest lady's maid returning to the house."
Both of them denied it unanimously, but Ruan Tang was very sure at this moment that Chunhan and Xia Zhu were in the Jingan Marquis Mansion.
But she couldn't figure out why Mrs. Ruan was holding them hostage and lying that they had never come back.
What happened? Is it worth it for her to hold two maids hostage?
Ruan Tang couldn't understand, but he also knew that there was no way he could get any results here today.
He had no choice but to stand up and said, "Since they haven't come back, my granddaughter will stop bothering her grandmother."
Ruan Tang wanted to leave after saying that, but before she could move, Mrs. Ruan stopped her again.
"It happens to be lunch time. Since Tang'er is back, let's have a meal with grandma before leaving!"
He said that he would not allow her to refuse, so he asked Aunt Liu to order someone to prepare meals.
Ruan Tang can't guess what she wants to do?
He also knew that if she hadn't stayed for this meal, she probably wouldn't have been able to leave.
Aunt Liu quickly arranged the dishes, and Mrs. Ruan directly took Ruan Tang's hand and sat down at the dining table with her.
Mrs. Ruan once again changed from her normal behavior and kept bringing her food, urging her to eat more.
But Ruan Tang only felt disgusted with her actions.
But I couldn't show it, so I had to bite the bullet and pick up the dishes.
During this period of time, her appetite was not very good because of Tana's incident.
So I put down my chopsticks after taking a few bites.
What's rare is that Mrs. Ruan doesn't force her to eat anymore.
After the two of them rinsed their mouths and wiped their hands, Mrs. Ruan spoke again: "How has Tang'er been in Prince Ning's Mansion during this time? How are you getting along with Prince Ning?"
Ruan Tang was stunned for half a second, and then understood.
The ultimate goal of her suddenly being so affectionate to him and allowing her to eat was originally this.
"My granddaughter is doing well in Prince Ning's Mansion."
"Then what does Prince Ning do to you? Can he tell you what title he will give you this time when you serve as a doctor?"
Mrs. Ruan had previously been interested in Prince Yining and wanted to marry Ruan Changhuan to him. However, Ruan Changhuan failed to live up to her expectations and caused such a scandal at the Queen Mother's banquet, which ruined the marriage.
She also didn't expect that Chu Mu would escape death this time.
If he had known earlier, it would have been Ruan Changhuan who was sent to wait for him.
But now that the deal was settled, she had no choice but to turn her mind to Ruan Tang.
Now only Ruan Tang still has a chance. If she can win the favor of Prince Ning, even if she is just a concubine, for the Ruan family, she can ensure their prosperity for the rest of their lives.
"Grandma, my granddaughter is just waiting for you. Your Highness has a noble status. You will not tell your granddaughter what you are thinking, and you have not made any promises to your granddaughter." Ruan Tang lied without a red face and a heartbeat.
She also sneered in her heart. If she knew that she had no intention of Prince Ning, would she be mad to death?
The more she wants the Ruan family to climb up to Prince Ning, the less she will let her get her way.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Ruan's face darkened, and a look of hatred appeared on her face.
"You gave up your innocence to serve him, but he didn't grant you a position?"
"My granddaughter is too frightened to ask for anything."
"You..." Mrs. Ruan was so angry that she almost choked with anger.
She originally thought that Ruan Tang was not as stupid as she seemed on the surface. She had been pretending to be that before. In fact, she was a scheming person.
But now that I heard her say this, I felt that my previous guess was wrong, and that she was just stupid.
Such a good opportunity, she only needed to use a little bit of entanglement, and Prince Ning became her subordinate. It was really a waste of her good skin.
"My granddaughter has disappointed my grandmother." Ruan Tang added.
Mrs. Ruan glanced at her angrily, raised her hand and pinched the center of her brow, "Rotten wood cannot be carved."
"My granddaughter is stupid, I hope my grandmother will forgive me."
What else can Mrs. Ruan say? She has been with Prince Ning for two or three months and has not been able to make Prince Ning favor her. What's the use?
So he waved his hand to signal her to retreat.
Ruan Tang didn't want to stay here for a long time. He blessed her and turned around and walked out the door.
But as soon as I reached the door, my feet had not yet crossed the threshold.
Mrs. Ruan's voice came again: "Since you don't have the ability, go back to the palace later and take your third sister with you. If you don't have the ability, let someone with the ability come."
Ruan Tang has seen thick-skinned people, but never such a thick-skinned person.
Ruan Changhuan and Shen Qianyi were at odds with each other.
Not to mention that she wouldn't take her into Prince Ning's Mansion, even if she did, Chu Mu would probably look down on her.
Just kidding, can that guy like a dirty woman?
Ruan Tang turned around and respectfully replied to Mrs. Ruan: "Grandma, please forgive me for not being able to take my third sister to Prince Ning's Mansion."
"Why not?"
"Prince Ning's mansion has strict rules. My granddaughter is just a slave there. She has a low status and really has no right to bring my third sister in."
"Furthermore, when I came back this time, Prince Ning specially sent personal guards to follow me, just to monitor me, in case I did anything detrimental to Prince Ning's house. If I take my third sister away, the guards will not allow it. , so please forgive me, grandma, Ruan Tang is really powerless."
It’s crazy to want to cling to the rich and powerful.
Fortunately, she could make such a request. What a shameless plan!
Ruan Tang felt a little more shameless towards Mrs. Ruan.
It wasn't until Ruan Tang left Fushan Garden that Mrs. Ruan swept the tea cup on her hand to the ground.
The tea cup fell to the ground and fell into pieces. Aunt Liu stood aside, not daring to say anything.
No one in Jingan Hou Mansion dared to disobey the old lady like this.
Gang Ruan Tang looked dumb and confused, but in fact, she understood everything clearly, but she just didn't agree to Mrs. Ruan's request.
Mrs. Ruan also had a headache.
In recent days, there have been so many messy things in the house that she has had a headache. She has been unable to eat or sleep well for nearly a month.
This matter also begins when Ruan Tang leaves Jing'an Hou Mansion and goes to Prince Ning's Mansion to serve.
After the engagement between Ruan Tang and Shen Qianyi was terminated, Ruan Changhuan was ready to make a move, hinting to her openly or secretly that he wanted to marry Shen Qianyi.
But she never really wanted Ruan Changhuan and Shen Qianyi to get together.
Although Shen Qianyi is her grand-nephew, this child has a deep and sinister mind, while Ruan Changhuan's child is simple-minded and straightforward. If you marry him, you will probably suffer a loss.
So she has always been opposed to it.
But there is no hope for Ruan Changhuan to marry Prince Ning. In this capital, Shen Qianyi is considered the best choice, and his family background is noble. If the two mansions can once again cultivate the good relationship between Qin and Jin, for her Jing'an Marquis Mansion , which is indeed a good thing.
But just when she was about to fulfill Ruan Changhuan's wish, Ruan Qingluan suddenly cried in front of her and confessed that she was pregnant with Shen Qianyi's flesh and blood.
She knew that Ruan Qingluan and Shen Qianyi were flirting with each other.
But he didn't expect that Ruan Qingluan was an idiot and climbed into Shen Qianyi's bed and became pregnant before marriage.
For the Jingan Marquis Mansion, this is a huge shame.
In their noble family of marquises, there was a shameless daughter who stole from a man and got pregnant.
How could she tolerate her?
Just when she was about to abort her baby quietly and send her to the village to be imprisoned, Shen Qianyi came.
Mrs. Ruan didn't expect that she was so scheming. She actually sent someone to inform Shen Qianyi before Laifu Shanyuan was ready to tell her the truth.
Shen Qianyi came and recognized the child in her belly.
She wanted to deal with it privately, but she couldn't.
I originally thought that I might as well marry Ruan Qingluan to Shen Qianyi.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Changhuan started making trouble again and revealed that she and Shen Qianyi had also performed the courtesy of Duke Zhou.
Only then did she realize that Shen Qianyi had turned her Jing'an Marquis Mansion upside down.
She was so regretful and regretful!
