"Ruicheng has such a good face, let's leave his family affairs alone." Mu Shaoling took the Tang poetry in his soft hands and continued to mark the pinyin for her.
Having been brothers with Murui Cheng for many years, they know each other's habits well.
Ruan Bai nodded, sat next to Ruan Ruan, and listened to her reading ancient poems in a low voice.
Second floor.
In Murui Cheng's bedroom, Du Ruirui hugged Tian Yu and coaxed her in a low voice.
The little girl was crying in her arms, her big eyes filled with mist, which made people feel distressed.
"Okay, don't cry anymore. Mom will take you to buy a ballet skirt." Du Ruirui was very angry after hearing what her daughter said.
Mu Ruicheng was not as good as Mu Shaoling in everything, and now he doesn't even have the ability to customize an exclusive ballet skirt for his daughter.
Du Ruirui listened to her daughter's low cry and cursed in her heart that she was a coward. Her precious daughter didn't need to wear Mu Ruanruan's clothes.
"Mom, I want to buy something better than Mu Ruan Ruan." Mu Tianyu felt angry.
"Of course, you will wear better clothes than Mu Ruanruan. You are the granddaughter of the Mu family." Du Ruirui promised that her daughter must not be worse than Mu Ruanruan.
Mu Shaoling is just a mistress, strictly speaking, he is not even a legitimate son.
As soon as she finished speaking, Du Ruirui's expression dropped when she saw Murui Cheng walking in.
Murui Cheng's face was not good-looking either. He looked at his wife and daughter, sulked, opened the closet, and took out a set of quilts and pillows.
Du Ruirui immediately stood up and put Tianyu down, "Are you going to sleep in the guest room again?"
Whenever he feels unhappy, he will go to the guest room to sleep. This month, this is the sixth time he has gone to the guest room to sleep.
Such a high frequency has already caused a lot of discussion among the servants, saying that their relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious.
Murui Cheng said "hmm".
Du Ruirui blocked the door, "You're not allowed to go. What do you think I am? If you're happy, you'll come back to sleep. If you're unhappy, won't you come back and sleep?"
Murui Cheng's expression was a bit colder, his way was blocked, he stood there, the cold light in his eyes was like frost.
Du Ruirui felt panicked when she looked at him with such cold eyes.
When did the person next to my pillow become such a person?
Du Ruirui bravely grabbed his bedding and threw it on the ground, "You are not allowed to go to the guest room to rest today, just rest here! You are my husband, not my bed partner!"
The quilt was scattered, and Murui Cheng clenched his fists. He didn't hit women, but Du Ruirui's aggressiveness made him have the urge to do it again and again.
"Wow!!!" Mu Tianyu, who was standing behind them, was so frightened that he cried.
Mu Ruicheng's cold expression softened, he turned around and walked over, hugging Mu Tianyu.
Mu Tianyu lay in his arms and cried, "Dad, don't be angry and don't ignore Tianyu."
Seeing his precious daughter crying like this, Murui Cheng had no intention of quarreling with Du Ruirui. He hugged her and sat on the sofa, coaxing her in a low voice, "Dad will never let Tian Yu go."
"Dad, I don't want to learn ballet anymore, and I don't want to buy a tutu. Don't blame mom. It's all my fault. Dad, don't leave." Tian Yu clung to his clothes, afraid that he would leave.
Murui Cheng regretted that he should not have argued with Du Ruirui in front of the child, as this would not be good for the child's mental development.
"I won't leave, don't worry, Tian Yu is good." He coaxed, but his eyes were sharply staring at Du Ruirui, who was still guarding the door.
She was still afraid that she would leave and wanted to stay there to save face.
Mu Tianyu is just a child, how can he know so many words?
It must have been taught by Du Ruirui. Her unrestrained mouth taught the child bad things, and Mu Ruicheng was very angry.
He patiently coaxed the child, and Mu Tianyu's crying gradually subsided, and she finally fell asleep in his arms.
Even when she was asleep, her hands were still clinging to Mu Ruicheng's clothes, feeling extremely insecure.
Murui Cheng looked at it and felt distressed again.
He hugged Mu Tianyu and slept on the other side of the bed, with the child in the middle. He hid far away, using distance to express his rejection.
Du Ruirui saw that he had been staying by the child's side, and it seemed that he would not go to the guest room to sleep tonight, so she bent over to pick up the scattered bedding, and then lay down on the other side of the bed silently.
She wanted to close the distance, but Murui Cheng didn't cooperate at all.
…
The next day, Ruan Bai and Mu Shaoling took their children downstairs.
Murui Cheng took Tian Yu to sit at the dining table early, waiting for breakfast, but Du Ruirui was nowhere to be seen.
Ruan Bai knew what must have happened to the couple yesterday, so he did not take the initiative to care where Du Ruirui went. Instead, he smiled and greeted all the family members around the dinner table.
The children also followed the greetings obediently.
When having breakfast, Ruanruan didn't eat much.
Murui Cheng asked with concern: "Ruanruan, why do you eat so little today? You are growing, this is not good."
Ruanruan explained: "Uncle, I have a performance today. It's not good to eat so much. Don't worry, my mother has prepared bread for me. I can eat more after the performance."
Murui Cheng patted his head and suddenly realized: "I just remembered that you have a performance today. Tianyu, do you want to see your sister perform?"
"I don't want it." Mu Tianyu hated Ruanruan very much. If she hadn't been here yesterday, her parents wouldn't have quarreled.
Fortunately, she was smart and used the methods taught by her mother to successfully retain her father.
Murui Cheng thought of her crying words yesterday and thought that it was rare for a child to be interested in ballet, but it was a pity to give up learning ballet because of such a trivial matter as a piece of clothing.
As a father, he also wants to see his daughter stand gracefully on the stage and accept the applause of everyone.
He pinched Tian Yu's cheek and said, "It's rare for your sister to have a performance. Let's go watch it together, okay?"
He wanted to use Ruan Ruan's performance to help Tian Yu regain her interest in ballet.
Mu Tianyu rolled his eyes and thought of Du Ruirui who was left out in the cold, "Will mom go?"
Murui Cheng's smile froze. Du Ruirui was not the kind of person who was interested in ballet. She would definitely not go.
Seeing that he was silent, Mu Tianyu said stubbornly: "If mom and dad don't go with me, I won't go."
Murui Cheng had no choice but to coax her patiently, "Okay, I'll ask your mother later if she's going."
After breakfast, Ruan Bai went upstairs and picked up a soft ballet skirt.
Mu Shaoling walked beside her and arranged: "We will send Zhan Bai to school later, and then send Ruanruan to the ballet theater."
"Isn't Zhan Bai going?" Ruan Bai was stunned. She thought Zhan Bai would go.
"He just changed his mind and said that there is a foreign language class at school today and he doesn't want to miss it, so he won't go." Mu Shaoling did not force him. After all, boys really have no interest in ballet.
"Okay." Ruan Bai turned around and packed the small schoolbag for Zhan Bai. He liked to study, and she had no objection.
On the other side, Mu Ruicheng also took Mu Tianyu to ask Du Ruirui if they wanted to watch the soft ballet performance together.
Du Ruirui was not interested in this, but repairing the relationship with Mu Ruicheng was more important at the moment, so she put aside her dissatisfaction with Mu Shaoling's family and agreed to go.
