Chapter 148
"I'm already incredibly grateful that Mianmian can open up to me. With a woman like you, I wouldn't expect anything else. But we've known each other for a while, and we've been through thick and thin together. And since we have some wine, I'll be like a friend and wish you all the best, and that you can live peacefully here with your family."
Seeing him so calm, Ruan Mian smiled and drank the bowl of wine heroically.
"Then I also wish that you will finally get what you wish for and return to Kyoto to realize your ideals and ambitions!"
Her wish was very simple. In her previous life, she had to survive in a strange world and lived a lonely life.
Now all she wants is a safe house and an inseparable family, which is her lifelong wish.
Although the atmosphere of farewell was already there before the time had even arrived, Ruan Mian felt relieved after talking it all out like this.
They will have to separate anyway, so it's okay to treat it as a farewell in advance.
However, at this moment, Minister Dong, who was wandering outside, received a message and was considering whether to disturb the two of them at this moment.
While hesitating, Ruan Mian heard his footsteps and pushed the door open to ask.
"Does the Minister have anything to say?"
Minister Dong was stunned to see that the two of them were drinking secretly. His face suddenly became serious and he strode over to take two sips himself.
"Luckily I didn't dare to disturb you. You actually drank behind my back!"
He wiped his lips and turned the subject to the main topic: "I just received news that General Huo...is likely to win the battle. The general specially sent someone to come here to ask me to thank Madam Ruan. The gunpowder you made was a great help!"
"Really? Does Wu Heng have a chance of taking it down?"
Xie Huaian's eyebrows moved, and he asked her: "If Wu Heng is defeated, you will have to go back to work, are you still willing?"
Ruan Mian disagreed and had other ideas in his mind.
By the time Wu Heng was defeated, she would have probably already opened up trade channels in Guancheng.
Once the gold mine is opened, is there any need to talk about Wu Heng’s development speed?
This group of convicts must have been the first group to go down to the mine as hard laborers.
She provided information about the gold mine, which meant she had made great contributions, so it was not difficult for her to be officially registered in Wuheng.
By then, the family’s life will officially get better!
As for her, she can do business on both sides. Now Jiang Ruohuai died suddenly, Han Ling and his team's plan also failed. If Lan Qiang was defeated, King Yan would never be able to rise up in rebellion as described in the original book.
She was able to turn the situation around and save many people who shouldn't have died.
As she thought about it, she became full of fighting spirit and simply called her aunt, Meixi, Cuizhu and others.
They drank and talked happily for the shop they were about to open and for Wu Heng's upcoming recovery!
As the mood got better, the laughter and joy in the house slowly spread out. Qi Nanfeng happened to come out for some fresh air at this moment. He was feeling extremely upset, and he happened to witness this scene.
The aroma of the wine immediately piqued his taste buds.
Since his exile, he has been able to drink alcohol very few times, and basically he has no food to eat.
Recently, the food has improved because Yuanxi went to work and prepared food for the Ruan family.
Now that I see them enjoying the delicious food and wine, the imbalance in my heart is about to burst out of my chest! !
While no one was paying attention, he picked up a jar of wine that still had some left outside the house.
At this moment, the eldest aunt suddenly narrowed her eyes and pointed at him with a drunken look.
"Who is this ugly freak?" The word "ugly freak" stabbed Qi Nanfeng like a sharp blade!
Back then, he was a famous elegant young man in Kyoto. Before he married Ruan Mian, there were already countless people who wanted to marry him, lining up to choose from him.
Later, he and his uncle went south and met the princess. The princess was so fascinated by this appearance that how could he accept someone putting such an ugly hat on his head.
He immediately threw the wine jar and cursed back in anger.
"Old woman, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Why don't you drink yourself to death?"
But due to the current power of Ruan Mian and Xie Huaian, Qi Nanfeng did not dare to act rashly. He glared at them and shouted a few unsightly words.
Cuizhu jumped up and walked out, protecting her aunt: "How can you slander our aunt! You..."
"Is he the husband that Mianmian and Li divorced?"
The eldest aunt suddenly found the key point of the conversation and stopped Cuizhu to ask.
After seeing Cuizhu nod, the aunt suddenly seemed to sober up!
"So you're the despicable man who made our Mian Mian a widow for so many years and who wanted to divorce her and marry someone richer the moment he came back?"
Qi Nanfeng was almost vomiting blood in anger: "I never thought of divorcing her! It was she who refused to back down and didn't care about the reputation of our mansion, so..."
Before he could finish his words, the aunt rolled up her sleeves and suddenly punched Qi Nanfeng hard in the face.
Suddenly one of his eyes turned black and blue.
Even Ruan Mian didn't expect that his aunt was so strong?
"How dare you make excuses? If you weren't so heartless and hadn't been flirting with other women, how could my Mian Mian have suffered that kind of pain?!"
"You scumbags, you're so selfish and only care about yourselves. You don't care about other people's lives at all! You deserve to be beaten!"
After she finished speaking, she rushed over again!
Qi Nanfeng was quick-witted and turned around to escape immediately.
But now his frail little body could not withstand the force of his aunt. His aunt lifted his collar with one hand, pressed him to the ground, and swung her fists left and right.
Soon Qi Nanfeng's screams filled the entire place.
Cuizhu and the others felt relieved after seeing this and immediately went back to the house to get the melon seeds.
Ruan Mian continued to pour wine: "How can such a good show be without wine?"
"Ruan Mian!!! You're still standing by and watching. If your aunt really causes me to get into trouble, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!!"
"ah……!"
Does he still have a chance to become a ghost? If he does too many unscrupulous things, the King of Hell might just banish him to the animal realm.
Later, the eldest aunt got drunk and did not beat him to death, but she passed out from drunkenness.
Qi Nanfeng dragged his broken leg and ran away crying cowardly.
The veins all over her body were about to burst!
In the next few days, Ruan Mian and his aunt were almost inseparable, riding the big white tiger everywhere.
The most important thing is to go to Guancheng and take care of everything.
My aunt had been staying here for a while and had a very good relationship with people. Within two days, she had found a reliable shopkeeper and a servant.
The shopkeeper was a scholar. It was said that he had passed the imperial examination before. Unfortunately, he was framed in the officialdom and exiled to the border for more than ten years. He then fled to the city and made a living by doing some work with an abacus.
Not a native of Guancheng.
The situation is similar to that of my aunt.
Although he was old, he was full of energy. He stroked his beard and greeted Ruan Mian politely.
"Madam Ruan."
"Mianmian, this is Manager Gu. You can rest assured that you can leave the medicine shop to him. Manager Gu is very familiar with the shops in Guancheng and has been the manager of many shops. He can also keep the accounts for you properly."
