Chapter 306: Without waiting for Ruan Mian to try to stop her, Yan left in a hurry.
But Yan still felt bad, so she pulled Chen aside and said, "Madam Chen, as an apology, please come to my house for dinner. I happened to be embroidering some flowers at home, and I'd like you to show me how it went."
Chen didn't want to trouble her, but she couldn't resist Yan's enthusiastic invitation and was just about to agree to go when Ruan Mian came over.
"Sister-in-law."
When she heard from her mother that Chen had come here, she specially brought some newly developed perfume powder by her aunt from Guancheng, wanting to talk to her.
Seeing that Yan wanted to treat her to a meal, Ruan Mian simply suggested, "I went to Guancheng Shop today and brought back a lot of delicious food. Madam Yan, why don't you come over to our place and eat together?"
When Yan heard this, her eyes turned and she quickly stopped and declined.
"I won't bother Madam Ruan anymore. Since you have something important to discuss with Madam Chen, I can just ask Madam Chen to come over in a couple of days."
Without waiting for Ruan Mian to try to persuade her to stay, Yan left in a hurry.
Looking at her back, Ruan Mian frowned slightly, feeling that Yan's expression just now was a little evasive.
Seeing this, she asked Chen one more question.
"Sister-in-law, do you usually keep close contact with Yan? I see that her husband is standing up for you this time. It must be because of your friendship."
Chen didn't deny their relationship, but she was also surprised that Yan Yi would help her so much.
Ruan Mian felt relieved and took her back to the house first.
The next day, the prefect actually sent a servant to invite Ruan Mian to go to Wuheng City.
However, this was a private trip and there was no need to go to the government office. The newly appointed prefect wanted to see her.
Upon hearing the news, Ruan Mian was a little surprised. After sending the servant away, he went to wash up.
However, when leaving, he saw Yan looking for Chen again.
She still invited Chen to her house, but Chen didn't want to trouble her, so she thought of forgetting it.
But Yan invited her over no matter what, which seemed a bit coercive.
Ruan Mian couldn't help but take a few more glances, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he walked over there.
When Yan saw that it was her again, she was stunned for a moment, but soon she smiled: "Madam Ruan, are you going out?"
Ruan Mian smiled slightly, but shook his head and said, "No, that's not the case. Yesterday, I took my sister-in-law away from Madam Yan. Did Madam Yan invite my sister-in-law to eat delicious food again today? I wonder if I will be so lucky."
They were both slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Ruan Mian to take the initiative to bring it up.
Yan smiled awkwardly, and after a moment of embarrassment, she quickly nodded: "Of course I'm lucky!"
"Madam Ruan has helped us so much, how can she not have that treat? Why not join us!"
Seeing that Mianmian agreed to go, Chen couldn't refuse.
So Ruan Mian and Chen were invited to visit Yan's home.
Ruan Mian had met Yan several times, but all because of the weaving workshop at home.
She was skillful and good at embroidery, so her mother mentioned her many times.
Outsiders also said that she and her husband were deeply in love. Their family was originally demoted into slavery and sent to Wuheng to work.
They were originally from Yuanzhou, not far from Wuheng. It was not easy for the couple and their family to survive in Wuheng.
At present, Ruan Mian still has a good impression of this Madam Yan.
But when he saw her evasive gaze just now, Ruan Mian always felt that something was wrong.
Perhaps because he had dealt too much with people who were scheming, Ruan Mian habitually thought too much.
Especially when it comes to family members.
She looked at Chen beside her. Along the way, Yan mentioned her husband from time to time, which inadvertently made Chen look even more depressed.
Ruan Mian understood her sadness, so he held Chen's hand and comforted her softly.
"Sister-in-law, don't be sad. Things will eventually turn around. I've already talked to my brother, and he doesn't know why he's like this either."
When Chen heard this, she suddenly felt sorry for Ruan Qingsong.
"Mianmian, what on earth happened to your brother to make him become like this? I know he must be feeling very uncomfortable right now. As his wife, I not only can't help him, but I make him..."
"Sister-in-law, don't think that way. Our continued support behind the scenes is the greatest support for him. I believe my brother will figure it out."
After hearing Ruan Mian's words, Chen was also struggling in her heart.
At this moment, she must not cause more trouble. She should give Asong some time. At worst, she can let Jingger and Asong have more contact.
Maybe his biological son can awaken some of his memories?
As they were thinking, they had already arrived at Yan's house.
Yan warmly invited them in, but when they passed a small house, she tightened her expression and lowered her voice.
"Madam Ruan, Madam Chen, please speak softly. My mother-in-law is not feeling well and cannot get out of bed. She has been very distressed these past few days."
As she spoke, her expression darkened.
Upon hearing this, Chen quickly glanced at Ruan Mian and whispered, "I wonder how your mother-in-law is doing now?"
"No wonder you seldom come to the weaving workshop these days. Is it because of your mother-in-law?"
Chen said with pity.
At the same time, Yan suddenly thought of something and looked at Ruan Mian pleadingly.
"Madam Ruan, I just suddenly remembered that you know medicine! My mother-in-law's legs have suddenly become so bad that she can't get out of bed. It's been like this for the past few days. I went to Wuheng City to ask for a doctor, but the doctor couldn't figure out the cause and just told her to get some rest."
"But my mother-in-law has been bedridden for a long time, and her health will only get worse. I need to know why her legs can't get her out of bed, so that I can prescribe the right medicine!"
"Madam Ruan, you are a skilled doctor, and I work in your weaving workshop, so I have no second thoughts about you! I beg you to show mercy and see my mother-in-law right now!"
Hearing her say this, Ruan Mian did not refuse.
Since I was already here, and Chen was looking at me, I thought that was probably what she meant.
So Ruan Mian agreed: "But my medicine box is still at home..."
"I'll go get it for you right now! Madam Chen, please come with me to the other room and wait for a while while I fetch the medicine box."
Ruan Mian nodded and went to her mother-in-law's house for treatment first. She would see the situation after she brought the medicine box.
Yan first took Ruan Mian into the small room. At this moment, her mother-in-law was lying on the bed. When she saw Yan bringing outsiders in, her face darkened.
"Just now I heard Ming Ge'er say that you want to invite Mrs. Chen to your house for dinner?"
"Don't you know how much food we have at home? How can you, a woman, just casually decide to take someone back home? Your husband hasn't said anything!"
In response to her mother-in-law's dissatisfaction, Yan simply replied respectfully: "You are right, mother-in-law. I will not do this again in the future."
"But mother-in-law, this is Madam Chen's sister, Madam Ruan. Your daughter-in-law specially asked Madam Ruan to examine you. Madam Ruan's medical skills are far superior to those doctors out there!"
