Chapter 115: But everything changed after she became a concubine in the Bo Mansion
"Although I'm not your mother's child, I know she always treated me like her own. It's all my fault for being short-sighted and not knowing the good side of things. That's why I disappointed you."
"Now I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Please, let me come back, okay? I promise that I will be obedient in the future, take good care of my family, stay by my father, mother, and brother's side, and never do anything wrong again!"
She shed tears and kowtowed continuously.
Chen and Ruan Qingsong on the side couldn't help but be moved.
In fact, before she got married, although she was born a concubine and her mother was just a concubine, she had everything that a legitimate daughter had.
Even Ruan Qingsong treated her as his own sister.
But everything changed after she became a concubine in the Bo's mansion.
Even so, Ruan Qingsong and his family still have some family ties.
Only Ruan Mian remained calm and even found what she said a little ridiculous.
She looked at Ruan Jiao and said bluntly, "You also know that you don't know people? If you didn't want to find a shelter and there was no one around, why would you shamelessly come to us for help?"
Ruan Jiao tightened her palms, tried her best to suppress her anger, and shook her head in denial, pretending to be heartbroken.
"No, no! I'm not doing this for the sake of it. I just want my family to live in peace and to be with my parents."
This was not the first time she had done this. When Ruan Mian saw the expressions of her family members, an idea came to her mind.
Ruan Mian asked her in return: "How can I trust you?"
When Ruan Jiao heard there was a chance, she immediately expressed her loyalty.
"I'm not here looking for a shelter, so I will definitely take good care of my family and be filial to my parents!"
Seeing her confident look, Ruan Mian smiled faintly, then turned around and said nothing more.
Others thought she had given in, and their moods had changed.
But Ruan Mian went to find Minister Dong.
"Minister Dong, I would like to ask you for a favor. Would you be willing to do me a favor?"
Minister Dong immediately looked at Xie Huaian behind him. Ruan Mian smiled and said, "I'm asking you, not you, my Lord."
Xie Huaian smiled, he was also curious.
Ruan Mian called Minister Dong over and said something in his ear.
The next day.
Ruan Mian took care of the goose house and pigpen, and caught a big fat fish to make soup.
Since there were delicious food, Ruan Jiao started to run around more diligently. She seemed like a different person, trying her best to please Master Ruan and the others.
Seeing this, Cuizhu couldn't help but mutter and asked Ruan Mian in a low voice: "Miss, why are you so silent?"
"That Third Miss is trying her best to please the Master and the Madam, but I know her. She's always had a bad temper. I don't believe she's really that kind. I think she's doing it on purpose because she's just greedy for the good food and good accommodation we have at home."
"She's been living with those people in the Bo Mansion and has been living on her own, so she's set her sights on us. Coincidentally, she saved Rui Ge'er yesterday, and now the eldest son and the young mistress are both very grateful to her."
"Just now, the master personally served her fish soup. This is clearly caught by you with great effort, why should she eat it?"
Hearing Cuizhu's mumbling in his ear, Ruan Mian couldn't help laughing.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Mr. Ruan get up and go to the back mountain to collect firewood.
In the past few days, Mr. Ruan went to the back mountain to look for firewood at a fixed time every day. His health had improved a lot under Ruan Mian's care, and he just wanted to contribute his part.
Today, Ruan Jiao followed behind him, saying that she wanted to honor him: "Father, I will go with you! I will help you collect firewood!"
Before Mr. Ruan could politely refuse, Ruan Jiao had already walked ahead.
Seeing her enthusiasm, Mr. Ruan didn't say much.
At this point, Mr. Ruan actually still owes something to his daughter.
I had never considered her as my daughter before, but when I heard her heartfelt words yesterday, I was shocked to realize that she had so many grievances in her heart.
On the way up the mountain, Ruan Jiao told him some things from her childhood, which brought back many memories for Mr. Ruan.
Unfortunately, before long, there was a sudden noise behind them.
The two of them became alert, and Ruan Jiao turned pale with fear. She wondered, "Father, could there be a wild beast?"
Without giving it any thought, she quickly pulled Mr. Ruan down the mountain.
However, after taking only two steps, he suddenly saw a man in military uniform blocking the way ahead.
Suddenly, both Mr. Ruan and Ruan Jiao were frightened out of their wits, their feet were frozen in place, unable to move!
"Officers... they are officers and soldiers!"
Ruan Jiao looked back suddenly, then ran away!
He completely ignored Master Ruan who was still there.
Seeing this, Mr. Ruan knew that something was wrong and quickly ran after Ruan Jiao.
But the officers and soldiers behind him ran over quickly and grabbed Mr. Ruan by the back of his collar!
His legs were disabled and he couldn't run at all. He only heard Master Ruan scream, and Ruan Jiao didn't even turn his head.
Until I heard Master Ruan's voice behind me: "Jiao'er! Jiao'er, wait for me!"
Ruan Jiao acted as if she couldn't hear anything, and then a stone hit her leg with a bang, causing her to fall to the ground.
The next moment, he was picked up by the "officer".
Ruan Jiao's face turned pale as she quickly begged for mercy: "Sir, sir, please spare me! I'm just a fugitive, I don't know anything, I'm just fleeing! If you want to arrest him, just arrest him."
"They have so much food and drink. They even caught some white geese and raised them, and... and those little piglets! There's enough for you to eat!"
Upon hearing this, Master Ruan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked over in disbelief: "Jiao'er? What did you say?"
Ruan Jiao acted as if she hadn't heard anything and continued to plead with the man, "Sir, I'm not lying. They really do have it! And I'm all alone, with nothing. Please let me go!"
With the situation at stake, Ruan Jiao had no time to care about anything else, especially since Master Ruan kept talking.
"What did you say just now? And what did you say to your elder sister yesterday?! It turns out you really don't miss home, you're just coveting our Ruan family's things!"
Ruan Jiao found him annoying and didn't say anything useful at the critical moment, so she interrupted Master Ruan.
"You still believe what I said yesterday? What I went through in my youth is unknown to all of you!!"
After saying this, she pointed at Master Ruan and said to the man, "He is the master of the Ruan family. Go and catch him quickly. If you catch him, you can blackmail Ruan Mian and the others into giving you a lot of good things!"
Ruan Jiao was also really scared and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, because she knew that as a woman, if she was caught by the pursuers, her fate would be a fate worse than death.
But this time she miscalculated.
The man took off his helmet and kicked Ruan Jiao far away.
Then he walked up to Master Ruan and said politely, "Master Ruan."
Seeing this man's appearance, Ruan Jiao was so angry that she almost vomited blood! !
"Dong...Minister Dong!"
Not officers and soldiers, not officers and soldiers!!
