Chapter 1 The little dumb mouth speaks
"Crash!" A basin of cold water poured towards him. Ruan Mianmian, who was kneeling in the hall, was cold and cold, and opened her eyes wide.
Zhou Yuning rushed over unexpectedly, hugged Ruan Mianmian in her arms, and angrily said, "Ruolan, don't go too far?"
"Mrs. Third Madam, you said just now that Ruan Mianmian was so hot that she was so angry that she was so angry that she was just trying to pretend to be dizzy and avoid punishment. Now he should be awake, but he will confront me in front of me." Qin Ruolan said while handing the basin in her hand to the maid beside her.
The eldest wife Chen Wanyu said with a smile: "Third brother and sister, Ruolan is young, and she has done this too much, but she is just anxious. Now Mianmian is awake, and after deciding right or wrong, I will ask her to apologize to you. There is no need to be so angry."
"She is still young at the age of eight? My family is only three years old. He has been in high fever since he fell into the water yesterday. Now he is still in a fever, and you have been brought to admit his mistake and have been poured in cold water. You want his life!" Zhou Yuning's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice and expression were harsh.
"Mianmian is your child, but he is the only descendant of the third family of the Ruan family. The people in this Manchu mansion are all his relatives. Who would harm him and who dare to take his life? Your words have passed." Chen Wanyu looked malicious.
Mrs. Ruan, who originally thought Qin Ruan's actions were a bit too much, changed her expression in a blink of an eye. It was obvious that Chen Wanyu's words worked.
"My sister-in-law is also a mother. If you were the ones, I'm afraid she would be more angry than me? I didn't tell you clearly, and the old lady didn't decide whether it was right or wrong. Qin Ruolan poured a basin of cold water on her three-year-old younger brother, and my son was still having a fever." Zhou Yuning glanced at Qin Ruolan and said sarcasticly, "It's worthy of being raised by my sister-in-law, and she was really well taught!"
Chen Wanyu was speechless, but Mrs. Ruan's face calmed down.
Realizing that the situation was not right, Qin Ruolan squeezed into the old lady Ruan, leaned over and said in a sweet voice: "Grandmother Ruan, look at my face."
"Old lady, it's a big deal for the little girl to hurt her face, leaving traces, and it will be a big problem if her face is damaged." Chen Wanyu stood up and checked.
Mrs. Ruan leaned slightly into Qin Ruolan's face, and the others present also turned their faces and stared at them to show their concern.
Sitting quietly watching the show, the second wife Gu Qingrou, who was not involved, barely got up when she saw this. She walked over and looked at her and couldn't help rolling her eyes, turning around and returning to her seat.
There was a scratch on Qin Ruolan's right face, but it was just slightly red, not scratched, and no bleeding, but just a big deal.
At this time, Zhou Yuning's personal maid Shuang'er brought clean clothes, and she quickly took Ruan Mianmian into the wing room to change.
After changing her clothes, Zhou Yuning hugged Ruan Mianmian tightly and knelt back to the spot. She looked confused, her teeth bit her red lips, and she was stubborn and refused to let her tears fall.
No matter how much she protects her, Mianmian is still bullied. The more Zhou Yuning thinks about it, the sadder it becomes.
There was a little chaos in the hall, and no one noticed that Ruan Mianmian seemed to be a little different from the past.
Ruan Mianmian looked good when she was young, but unfortunately she was a mute. He was timid by nature, and he was young and unable to express himself. He was often bullied by his servants and Qin Ruolan, so he was very timid.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian had a small face that was as beautiful as jade, and her bright big eyes were extremely agile, and she didn't look like a timid person.
"Old lady, Mianmian is an honest child. He dares not and will not do anything." Zhou Yuning raised his voice and argued.
"Xiao Xi was present at that time, and she could testify for me." Qin Ruolan pointed to the maid standing behind, "You tell me, did Ruan Mianmian scratch my face?"
Xiaoxi stepped forward and saluted: "Mrs. Qi Bian, Miss Cousin's face is indeed scratched by the young master."
"Then tell me why I scratched her face?" The tender childish voice sounded, with a firmness beyond her age in his tone.
Everyone present looked in surprise in the direction of the sound, and Ruan Mianmian stood up from her mother's arms.
In an instant, everyone in the hall was shocked. Zhou Yuning was stunned and cried with joy.
"The little mute is talking." Qin Ruolan murmured in disbelief.
"Mom, the ground is cold." Ruan Mianmian ignored the others. He stretched out his hands and gently pulled Zhou Yuning, signaling her to get up.
Zhou Yunning looked up at Ruan Mianmian, a little surprised and uneasy. She clearly had the same little face, but why did she feel a little unfamiliar? Is this really her child?
"Mom, let's talk about it later when we go back." Ruan Mianmian approached Zhou Yuning's ear and lowered her voice.
Nodded slightly, Zhou Yuning stood up, she wiped her tears and said, "Mianmian is not a mute, he just doesn't want to speak. I said it, but no one believes it."
Yes, almost everyone here has heard Zhou Yuning say, but no one except her and her maid Shuang'er had heard Ruan Mianmian speak out. Everyone just thinks she is deceiving herself.
Ruan Mianmian walked to Mrs. Ruan and knelt down, kowtowed respectfully, and then shouted: "Please make the decision for Mianmian."
Qin Ruolan came to her senses and a look of panic flashed across her face. She was only eight years old after all. She was sure that the little mute could not argue before. She said whatever she wanted, but she never expected that he could speak.
In the past, Ruan Mianmian avoided when she saw Mrs. Ruan from afar. This was the first time he took the initiative to approach, and it was the first time that the two grandparents and grandchildren faced each other faced each other at close range for the first time.
Suddenly, Mrs. Ruan showed a look of surprise, and then she looked at Ruan Mianmian's pink and jade-carved face and mixed emotions.
It looks really like it. Mrs. Ruan looked at Ruan Mianmian, as if she vaguely saw her beloved youngest son Ruan Qi when she was young.
Not good! Chen Wanyu noticed Qin Ruolan's panic and also noticed the change in Mrs. Ruan's expression.
"It turns out that Mianmian can speak, but she has been silent in recent years. She has hidden herself very deeply at a young age. Her third brother and sister have good teachings." Chen Wanyu not only changed the subject, but also suggested that Mrs. Ruan was clearly instigated by Zhou Yuning to pretend to be mute.
He lowered his head slightly to cover up the flashing light in his eyes. When he raised his head, he saw tears in Ruan Mianmian's eyes: "Grandmother, my mother said that I am not a mute, I just don't want to talk."
Looking at the face in front of him that looked like his youngest son, Mrs. Ruan couldn't help but echo: "Well, your mother said it more than once."
Chen Wanyu clenched her palms suddenly and then smiled barely. Mrs. Ruan refused to show her face in front of everyone. This was the first time that she had never given her face.
"Grandmother, she called me a wild child that no one wanted, because she had a mother and had no father." Ruan Mianmian didn't forget the serious matter, and he pointed at Qin Ruolan with his hand.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuning's anger rose: "Old lady, listen, listen, it's obvious that he is bullying our orphans and widows."
"I don't." Qin Ruolan retorted in a low voice with guilt.
Ruan Mianmian raised her voice: "That's what you said. I don't want to argue with you, I turn around and leave, but you continue to scold my mother."
"Has she scolded your mother?" Old Lady Ruan glanced at Qin Ruolan with displeasure.
"She called my mother accusing her of despising the poor and loving the rich, vain, and taking the position of Mrs. Ruan San, and not letting go." Ruan Mianmian paused for a moment, and tears fell down her pink cheeks: "I also said that I am not my father's child and I am not worthy of being the young master of the Ruan family."
