Chapter 4 Wei
Shi After Min Shi gave the order, the carriage drove to the Marquis' Mansion.
Jian Ruonan sat in the carriage, eating snacks and drinking tea, trying her best to act like a timid country girl who had never seen the world.
[The snacks in this Marquis' Mansion are indeed much better than those bought outside. Look at this green bean cake, which is sweet but not greasy, and this butterfly cake, which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.]
[Tong, I'm finally going to enjoy myself!!!]
The system wailed: [Nannan, you still have the mind to eat snacks, you will be punished for disrupting the plot!]
Jian Ruonan's heart was in her throat: [What punishment? 】
System:【I don't know, anyway, your recognition of relatives won't be so smooth, maybe you will be thrown into a separate courtyard, investigated for three to five years, and correct the plot.】
Jian Ruonan:【......】
【It's better to throw you into a separate courtyard, at least you have food and drink, you don't have to work, you don't have to be beaten, and you don't have to worry about being sold to an old man! 】
Everyone was chatting, and suddenly, the carriage stopped.
Zang Chun opened the curtain, "Madam, Miss, we have arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, please get off."
Jian Ruonan:【Didn't you say you would throw me into the separate courtyard to dry for three to five years? 】
【Does your face hurt? ! 】
System:【......Even if you enter the Marquis' Mansion, there will be punishment. 】
【Ding——】
【Complete the plot ahead of time, reward points 5 points, and when the points reach 10 points, you can open the redemption interface. 】
Jane Ruonan: [Hey, aren't you going to punish me? Why is there a reward?]
Rubbish!
System: [......]
Min is indeed planning to find a separate courtyard to house Jian Ruonan. After all, it's such a big deal and we don't know if it's true. Even if it's true, we have to think long-term. Zhou confused the bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion and she will die. Ruonan's placement and how to restore her identity are also problems.
If it's true, thinking of the suffering her biological daughter has endured over the years, Min suddenly felt distressed and decided to take her back first.
Jian Ruonan was taken to Min's Xixiayuan and arranged in a green gauze closet.
[She is indeed my biological mother, whose blood is thicker than water. She brought me back before she had investigated thoroughly. This is my biological mother! 】
【Tong, you jumped out of a stone, you don't understand the purest and most loving feelings of us humans! 】
System: [......]
Min: "Have someone prepare hot water, Zangchun, you help Ruonan take a bath, Zangqiu, have someone go out and buy two sets of ready-made clothes."
Zangqiu saw that Min brought back a little girl, but didn't know the identity of the girl. Seeing that Min was frowning, and Jian Ruonan was not dressed well, she tentatively asked: "The fourth young lady has grown a lot taller this year, and the new clothes are a little small. I see that Miss Ruonan is shorter than the fourth young lady, so they fit her perfectly. Otherwise, I will find two dresses that the fourth young lady has never worn. They are made by the embroiderer in the mansion, which is better than those bought outside."
The fourth young lady mentioned by Zangqiu is none other than Aunt Zhou's biological daughter, Jian Chuxue.
Min rubbed her temples: "No, go find two old dresses of the eldest lady."
Jian Ruonan was taken to the bathroom. She was almost done with her clothes, but Zangchun didn't leave and stepped forward.
Jian Ruonan: "..."
Zangchun smiled and said, "Miss Ruonan, I'll wash your hair for you."
She almost forgot that she was now a daughter of a marquisate and could live a life of having her clothes done for her.
No wonder she couldn't get used to it.
She was from the south and had never been to a bathhouse. It was so embarrassing to be stared at while taking a bath.
This was the trouble of being a daughter of a marquisate.
After taking a bath, Zangchun helped her dry her body, put on perfume powder, and then helped her put on beautiful clothes. The country girl suddenly became a daughter of a marquisate.
Min had already asked someone to prepare the meal. As soon as Jian Ruonan sat down, two little maids immediately helped her wipe her hair.
Min: "You must be hungry after sitting in the car for such a long time. Eat something to fill your stomach first."
Jian Ruonan looked at Min timidly: "Thank you, madam."
On the table was a plate of rouge goose breast, a plate of plum blossom sweet cake, a bowl of ham stewed pork elbow, and a plate of green fried seasonal vegetables.
The food in the Marquis's Mansion is really good!
[This is delicious, that is delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious!! muamuamua! ]
Min: "..."
After listening carefully for a long time, there was not a single useful word.
A little maid came in and whispered a few words to Zangchun, who immediately reported to Min: "Wei hasn't changed clothes for two months."
Min frowned slightly. She hasn't changed clothes for two months, and there's no news at all. She's been keeping it a secret, so she must be sick of the cat.
The maid outside the door reported: "Madam, Wei is at the door, saying she wants to pay her respects to you."
Jian Ruonanmu sat obediently with a bowl in her hand, [Ah? Wei is here so soon, I really want to see what this sinister woman looks like? ]
[Wei just drank abortion medicine, this baby won't be born until tonight, why is she here so early? Spying on military intelligence? How did my father find such a scheming beauty! ]
[Mom, you have to open your eyes! ] Min
: "..."
"Let her in."
Wei stood at the door of Xixiayuan, holding the hand of her maid Dingxiang. The young woman had a slender figure, and you couldn't tell that she was three months pregnant.
Wei is Jian Zhang's cousin. They grew up together. After Jian Zhang's mother passed away and his father remarried, the two families had less and less contact. In addition, the Wei family fell into decline, so Wei had to be promoted to a concubine.
Jian Zhang remembered their old relationship and loved Wei very much. The year before last, Wei's father was rehabilitated and promoted to the Southwest Tour. Wei was unwilling to be a concubine and fantasized about being promoted to a co-wife every day, just waiting to catch Min's fault. The
charges of humiliating a concubine and causing her to have a miscarriage were confirmed, and the Wei family came to the door and made her a co-wife.
As soon as Wei came in, she bowed to Min softly. After the greeting, Wei was supported by a maid and sat next to Jian Ruonan.
Jian Ruonan "whoosh" jumped away like a spring and raised her hands, "You saw it, I didn't touch her!"
She moved quickly, as if Wei was some kind of dirty thing that could not be provoked.
Wei: “???”
Who is this? Why does she look so disgusting? !
Min: “......”
Her daughter seemed to be a little lively.
Min was dignified and virtuous, and she was almost amused by Jian Ruonan's jump. She calmed down and looked at Wei: “What are you doing here?”
Wei held her handkerchief like a willow in the wind, “I am here to apologize to you.”
Min became alert, “Apologize for what?”
Wei whispered: “Snowball ran into my yard yesterday. I saw that it was pretty, so I fed it some snacks. I don’t know why, but not long after it ate the snacks, it started foaming at the mouth. Sister, I, I didn’t mean it, wuwuwu…”
The young woman said halfway and began to cry and confess, looking quite sincere.
Snowball is a lioness cat with heterochromia, and is Min's pet. Min likes Snowball very much, combs its hair every day, and often makes toys for it. Min didn't see it last night, and thought it was just playing around and would come back soon, but she didn't expect it to meet with a tragic accident.
Min was angry and anxious, and her body couldn't help shaking slightly.
She was about to attack Wei when she heard Jian Ruonan's inner voice.
[Mom, you must not punish her, if you punish her, she will have a miscarriage! ]
[Why is Wei like a hen, laying eggs in her belly whenever she wants?
] Min: "..." Can you be more serious at the critical moment?
