Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan followed the mother-in-law around several corridors and came to a courtyard. The mother-in-law went in to report. Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan were waiting in the corridor.
After a while, the mother-in-law smiled and let them in.
Qin Wanru followed Shui Ruolan and walked in with her nose and nose in mind.
There were many maids and wives around, neatly arranged on both sides, but they were completely silent. It could be sensed that the rules in Princess Ruian's house were quite strict.
With so many people in the house, the only sound that could be heard was breathing.
When they arrived at the house, Shui Ruolan first saluted Princess Ruian, who was sitting on the current couch, and Qin Wanru also immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Everyone, please sit down!" Princess Ruian looked at Qin Wanru with a smile and reached out to wave to her. Qin Wanru took two steps forward to salute again, but she stretched out her hand to hold her back.
"Just sit here!" The eldest princess Ruian pulled Qin Wanru close to her. Aunt Gao hurriedly moved a small table over. Qin Wanru sat down on the small table in front of the eldest princess Ruian. It looks very close.
"Why, did you have a quarrel with the young lady from Yong-Kangbo Mansion?" Princess Ruian already knew what had just happened, and she asked with a smile.
Qin Wanru's little face fell, and her black eyes flickered, but she still nodded sincerely and did not defend herself.
"The eldest lady in your family doesn't like you?" The eldest princess Ruian reached out and touched Qin Wanru's hair. She felt that the child was really what she wanted, and her cute and honest appearance also made people happy.
"I am not born to the eldest sister's mother, and I have no blood relationship with the Yong-Kang Bo Mansion!" Qin Wanru lowered his head, looking a little depressed.
"Who is your biological mother?" Princess Ruian turned her head and looked at Shui Ruolan, feeling that something didn't look like her.
"I don't know who the biological mother is!" Qin Wanru's head lowered further, and from the perspective of the eldest princess Ruian, only the top of her hair could be seen.
"Why don't you know?" Princess Ruian asked in surprise, saying that the biological mother was someone else. This was normal. Many men recorded the children born to other women in the name of their legitimate wives in order to give their own children The title of a direct descendant.
"But I really don't know, it seems... no one mentioned my biological mother!" Qin Wanru shook her head, her voice was a little bitter!
"Mrs. Qin, why can't this child's biological mother be mentioned?" Princess Ruian obviously understood another meaning, and turned to Shui Ruolan in confusion and asked.
"Princess, I really don't know... I was not in the Qin Mansion before." Shui Ruolan said with a bit of shame.
"Then the house will always talk about this lady, right?" Princess Ruian felt more and more that there was something going on here. How could no one even mention the child's biological mother, unless someone said so on purpose.
"I didn't know that I had a biological mother before. I always thought that my biological mother was Mrs. Di, but Mrs. Di harmed me time and time again, so I couldn't help but investigate and found out that Mrs. Di was not my biological mother. That’s why you wholeheartedly put the blame on me for the sake of eldest sister.”
Qin Wanru said bluntly, her voice was not high, the girl's voice was a little aggrieved, but it was enough for Princess Ruian to hear clearly.
"This child... is another one that no one cares about!" Princess Ruian sighed and looked sluggish. Princess Ruian, who originally looked young, seemed to have aged several years.
"Princess, such a child is sensible. You can see that Miss Qin Er is sensible at first glance, and her temperament is better than that of ordinary ladies from aristocratic families." Aunt Gao's words were very meaningful. Qin Wanru blinked, as if I noticed something, but couldn't grasp it for a while.
"I hope Hao'er is like this!" Princess Ruian sighed again, reaching out and touching Qin Wanru's hair, "This child is quite well-behaved, but it's a pity that he doesn't have a mother to take care of him!"
"Princess, I have a mother now. My mother is very good to me. It is because of me that my mother married my father. Originally, my mother wanted to be the Qing Deng Ancient Buddha." Qin Wanru raised her head and looked at Shui Ruolan. smiled.
A small face with a bright smile. Thinking about this child's life experience, it makes people feel even more pitiful.
The eldest princess Ruian felt more and more that this child was pleasing to her eyes, and even Shui Ruolan was also pleased with her. Originally, she invited Shui Ruolan to come, but it was just Qin Wanru who came by the way. Then she heard that Shui Ruolan was marrying into The Qin Mansion still had such a connection, so he nodded secretly to Shui Ruolan.
Shui Ruolan has a quiet temperament. She has been living in the backyard of the Qin Mansion for so many years. She rarely interacts with people and is not very good at talking. However, she just sits quietly on the side. Her appearance is delicate and gentle, and everyone thinks she is. A good-natured person.
"If anything happens in the future, just come to me!" Chief Ruian smiled at Shui Ruolan.
Although Qin Wanru didn't say much, Princess Ruian naturally heard the meaning behind her words. She immediately knew that Shui Ruolan might have a hidden agenda when she married Qin Mansion, so she entered because she wanted to take care of Qin Wanru. The Qin Mansion couldn't help but feel a little more pity for her.
"Thank you, Princess Ruian!" Shui Ruolan stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Princess Ruian. Although she was not good at interacting with others, she knew that the Princess wanted to help her.
She had no foundation in the first place, and all she relied on was the old lady. Now if the eldest princess Ruian is willing to stand on her side, this will definitely be a huge support.
He also understood that this was Princess Ruian's greatest kindness to him.
"Princess, it's almost time. Would you like to go out and talk to the rare ladies first?" Seeing that the eldest princess's mood had improved a bit, Grandma Gao suggested as she looked at the sky outside with a smile.
"Is the one from Duke Xingguo's Mansion here?" Princess Ruian nodded and started to stand up, but paused when she stood up and her face darkened.
Aunt Gao knew her master's heart, so she smiled and avoided the topic that most displeased Princess Ruian, "Your Highness, your favorite Master Hao is here too."
"Really, where is he?" Princess Ruian's face became excited, and she reached out and patted the chair rail beside her, "Quickly, bring him over here, let me take a look!"
"I'm afraid...it's still outside now. You can't come here just by wanting to!" Aunt Gao said vaguely.
"Huh, it's that old woman again. She didn't admit it at first, but now she is hugging her tightly. If not..." Princess Ruian said this, her face turned red and she was obviously very angry, "Let's go, I'll go check on Hao'er myself and see how he's been doing lately and if anyone has bullied him!"
As he spoke, Chief Ruian stood up.
"It's still early, so you can just go to the garden and take a stroll first. I'll have someone come find you later!" Princess Ruian took two steps angrily. She suddenly thought about Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan, and turned back to warn her. road.
"Yes, the eldest princess!" Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan stood up together to send the eldest princess away respectfully.
After the eldest princess Ruian left, Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan casually watched in the garden. There were many ladies and ladies watching along the way.
Shui Ruolan got tired after walking for a while. Qin Wanru found a pavilion for her to sit and rest. She didn't feel tired at all. She had climbed a lot of walls in the Qin Mansion in the past. She had good physical strength and had been walking for so long. I didn’t feel tired either, but I continued walking forward with great interest.
Yujie was not tired either. Her physical strength was different from ordinary people, so it was interesting to watch. The princess mansion was majestic and beautiful, making the master and servant go farther and farther.
Unconsciously, I walked farther and farther away from the crowd.
After passing the Moon Cave Gate and turning around an exquisite rockery, Qin Wanru looked up at the osmanthus trees planted against the wall. The fragrance of flowers bloomed around the osmanthus trees, and little yellow flowers fell on the grass below. There are a few stones scattered about the shrub half as tall as a man.
Even if it is just a small courtyard corner, it is full of different charm and great originality.
"Hey, who are you? Pull me!" Qin Wanru was watching in rapt attention when he suddenly heard a child's voice in his ear. He couldn't tell the difference between male and female, but he knew it was a child. He lowered his head in surprise and looked around. After searching, she didn't see any children when she came over just now.
"Look, here! I don't have eyes. I'm here, do you see?" The voice seemed louder and a little angry. Qin Wanru followed the voice in shock and saw the grass behind the bushes. Lying inside was a handsome boy, about six or seven years old, with a pair of big eyes that made people think he was cute.
However, his face looked foul now, and he was not very polite when he saw Qin Wanru coming over.
"Come here and pull me, I want to come over!" The little boy patted the grass beside him and said impatiently.
Qin Wanru took a closer look and realized that the boy was not lying in the grass, but seemed to have come through a hole in the wall, but got stuck here. He looked at the high wall and then at the quilt. Qin Wanru couldn't help but laugh out loud at the boy who was stuck.
"Hey, why are you smiling? Be careful, I'll tell grandma and I'll kill you with a stick!" The boy blushed, gritted his teeth and stared at Qin Wanru hatefully, with a fierce look on his face, and his hands were still pushing hard in the grass. He patted it, like a living little beast, showing its teeth and claws, but with little force.
"Why are you so rude!" Qin Wanru squatted down and said with a smile.
"Can you control who you are in my family?" The boy's face suddenly darkened, and he glared at Qin Wanru angrily, like an aggressive rooster.
"Hey, why are you talking like this? Our lady is trying to tell you, why are you so rude? Whose family has such a bad education!"
Yujie also came over and saw a beautiful and cute child, and teased him.
"You... don't want to live anymore?" the boy said coldly, grabbed a stone at hand, and threw it at Qin Wanru's head without thinking, while cursing, "You can control whether I have anyone to teach me. You know, even if you have no one to teach you, you are still better than you. If you dare to bully me, I will let my grandma and grandma beat you to death!"
