Chapter 23: Mianmian, but what happened?
At this moment, Liu's mother and daughter went crazy again.
While others were eating salty porridge, they still had pork elbows left over from yesterday.
They ate with relish in front of everyone without any hesitation, talking as they ate.
"My son has gone out to treat his injuries. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance about some things."
"If anyone present here were to surrender to our Qi Mansion and pledge their loyalty to me and my son, they might even be able to share some of the soup later. When my son returns, he will bring with him a vast amount of supplies! From now on, this road of exile will be unbearable for our family."
She ate her pork elbow smugly, staring at Nanny Fang fiercely.
Thinking of taking this opportunity to make some people in the Ruan family turn against him!
However, at this moment, Ruan Mian returned to the post station.
Just as Liu was about to continue to be sarcastic, a carriage stopped at the door.
A man with a black gourd hanging on his waist belt jumped off the carriage and walked straight to Ruan Mian.
"Madam Ruan, this is specially prepared by the Lord, please accept it."
After saying this, Ruan Mian smiled and bowed to the visitor: "Thank you for your care, sir. Please give my regards to you, sir."
The man scratched his head embarrassedly, "Madam Ruan, since the things have been delivered, I will leave first."
Having said that, he left without waiting for Ruan Mian's reaction.
Ruan's father rushed over and could only see the corner of the man's clothes.
He could only look at Ruan Mian worriedly and asked, "Mian Mian, what happened?"
Ruan Mian shook her head: "Nothing, Dad, go back and rest. Your daughter will share the supplies with the family."
She could also take the opportunity to take something from the space.
The officers were guarding the door, looking at each other and pretending not to see anything.
After Ruan Mian distributed the supplies to the Ruan family, he saw that there were still some "defective products" left, so he gave them to Wang.
Wang was extremely surprised. She didn't expect Ruan Mian would actually share some with them. Even though they were too proud to accept it without any reason, they were forced by the situation and couldn't do anything.
So Wang took it with a smile and personally brought Lin Ge'er to thank Ruan Mian.
"Madam Ruan, I didn't expect you to even consider our entire family. I... I really don't know how to thank you."
Ruan Mian glanced at Ruan Jiao, whose eyes were bloodshot in the corner, smiled indifferently, turned around and asked Cuizhu to bring a few more eggs.
"Ma'am, you're welcome. We're all on the same page now. Even though we haven't crossed paths in the past, we'll see each other soon. It's always good to have more friends."
"Last time I saw Lin Ge'er wanted to eat eggs, but we didn't have any at that time. Now it's good. I bought some more. Let's cook them for Lin Ge'er."
Wang was stunned, and this time she was really grateful to her.
Lin Ge'er was so happy that he danced with joy and immediately grabbed his mother to boil eggs.
Seeing this, Cuizhu couldn't help but whisper a reminder to Ruan Mian, "Miss, the prince of the Bo Mansion is said to be half dead and dying in the Ministry of Justice prison. He will definitely not be able to get out. Do we need to allocate more supplies to the people in the Bo Mansion?"
"Miss, you don't know that Wang Shi is not a good person. She...she has been involved in many murder cases."
Ruan Mian patted Cuizhu's shoulder and smiled, "Are you trying to tell me that many women died in the Bo Mansion, and they were all related to Wang?"
"Girl knows?"
Of course she knows.
In the original book, Wang single-handedly supported the entire Earl's Mansion. Even the Crown Prince in the later period had to bow his head and be submissive in front of Wang.
She was the mistress, generous and dignified in her dealings with others, and even personally selected concubines for the prince.
But behind the scenes, countless women were tortured to death by her, and in such a large mansion, she was the only one who had an heir.
In the original book, if she hadn't wanted to save Lin Ge'er's life, she would definitely not have been plotted against by the prince and died an untimely death.
In other words, the prince was fed up with her suppression, so he killed his wife and favored his concubine. However, because of Wang's death, the Earl's Mansion was neglected and the backyard was in chaos, which caused great trouble to the prince.
Therefore, she is resourceful and ambitious. If there is no conflict with her, it would be best to become friends with her.
Ruan Mian wrapped a scarf he had made around Cuizhu's neck and said, "One more enemy is worse than one more friend. Does it keep you warm?"
Cuizhu soon felt the warmth on her neck, just like being wrapped in fur.
"Girl! It's really warm. What did you sew inside?"
Ruan Mian was about to speak when Liu came over angrily. Seeing that everyone had a mattress and delicious food, even the people in the Bo's Mansion, she immediately felt that it was unfair.
She angrily questioned, "Ruan Mian! You really don't take the people in our Qi Mansion seriously, do you? You gave the mattress to the Bo Mansion, why don't you give it to us! Our Qi Mansion is your in-laws' home after all! Treating your mother-in-law so harshly is simply unfilial. You'll be in hell..."
"It's the former mother-in-law's family, and you are also the former mother-in-law."
Ruan Mian interrupted her without hesitation and corrected her, "Besides, your family is about to take off, don't you think you're still short of a few mattresses?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu turned up her nostrils again and looked at people, snorting.
"You're absolutely right! It's just a few mattresses. When I, Nanfeng, come back, we'll have everything we want. All you people out there, just wait to get jealous!"
After saying that, he glared at Ruan Mian fiercely: "You are so shameless. Don't regret it when Nanfeng comes back!"
I didn’t expect that as soon as I mentioned Cao Cao, he would appear.
The voices of Qi Nanfeng and the official were heard at the door. The sharp-eared Liu immediately realized that her son had returned. Her face was filled with joy and she started shouting to everyone.
"My son is back! My son is back with supplies!"
Everyone else was very curious, thinking about how their family had been able to move into a good room, live well, eat well and dress well before. Maybe this time with the help of a noble person, they could really change their fate.
But when Liu came to greet Qi Nanfeng, Qi Nanfeng's face was full of sternness, and he said hurriedly: "Hurry up and pack your things, and leave immediately."
Liu saw that there was nothing outside and not a single hair of the promised supplies, and she immediately became anxious.
"What happened? Where's the thing that Master Dong promised you? Didn't you bring it back after seeing the doctor?"
"Where's Mr. Dong? He's been arrested, so what are we? If you don't want to be implicated, leave now!"
He had just explained the situation to the officer. Something happened in the Dong Mansion, countless slaves escaped, and Ziye City was in chaos. If these exiles did not leave, they would probably have their belongings robbed by those slaves.
Seeing this, the officers hurriedly told them to pack up and set off immediately!
After hearing that her wish was not fulfilled, Liu collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, the others couldn't help but speak out.
"Madam Qi, where are your thousands of supplies?"
"Oh, is it because of my eye disease? Why can't I see anything?"
Liu's old face turned red, she glared at those people, and ran into the house dejectedly to pack her things.
