Chapter 56
Ruan Mian subconsciously took another look, then took the shoes and checked them.
Perhaps it was intuition, or perhaps it was habit, but whenever someone brought something to her, she would subconsciously check it carefully until it was okay before using it.
They actually have everything.
But something went wrong during this inspection.
Ruan Mian felt that the sole of her shoe seemed a little uneven. Looking at the bun in her hand, she decisively stuffed it in. When she took it out, she found several pinholes.
Moreover, some places were torn by needles. It is conceivable that if Rui Ge really wore these shoes, his feet would probably be broken.
Chen was shocked!
He immediately took the shoe and cut it open, only to see several needles faintly standing upright on the sole, with only the needle tips showing. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see them at all.
If Rui Ge'er puts it on, his feet will probably be riddled with holes.
"Mianmian!!"
Ruan Mian frowned slightly, raised her voice and called Aunt Zhang over, throwing the shoes in front of her: "Aunt Zhang, are these the shoes you gave to Rui Ge'er?"
When Aunt Zhang saw this, she turned pale with fright!
He knelt down tremblingly, "Madam Ruan, Madam Ruan, please understand. We...we absolutely would not harm Rui'er. Grandma Zhou is our Madam's wet nurse. She has been with her for many years. It is even more impossible for her to harm a child without reason. Our Madam sincerely thanks you. The needles...needles..."
She didn't know what was going on and was terrified. She didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
Seeing her like that, Ruan Mian calmly helped her up and said, "Madam Zhang, go call Grandma Zhou."
Nanny Zhang did not dare to disobey and immediately called Grandma Zhou over. Ruan Mian specially found an empty corner to ask.
As soon as Grandma Zhou saw her, she knelt down and explained, "Madam Ruan, I swear to heaven, I really didn't tamper with the shoes. I didn't! It wasn't me."
"If it wasn't you who did it, then think carefully. When you were making the shoes, who was close to you? Who was the most likely person to have tampered with your shoes?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Grandma Zhou suddenly remembered!
"Ruan... Aunt Ruan!"
Only Aunt Ruan had ever approached her, and Aunt Ruan even asked her to pour tea for the old lady. Apart from her, no one else had ever approached her.
I spent the whole night making shoes by myself.
Ruan Mian helped her up and said soothingly, "If that's the case, then Mrs. Zhou, you should know how to report this to your wife, right?"
Ruan Jiao is becoming more and more daring as she dares to use the mistress of the house as a pawn.
In this case, Ruan Mian didn't want to dirty his hands, so he patted Grandma Zhou's shoulder and said, "I know your wife's good intentions, but someone is deliberately trying to frame your wife. I hope Grandma Zhou can make a decision on this matter."
Grandma Zhou was already cursing Ruan Jiao in her heart!
Normally, the lady was very tolerant of the concubines, and even when she knew that she was deliberately trying to please the old lady, she didn't say anything.
She was just a lowly concubine, yet she turned her anger against the lady!
He wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and let his wife be targeted by Madam Ruan. It was really a good plan.
Zhou Po found Wang with an angry face and told her the truth about the needle hidden in the shoe.
Seeing the lady frowning slightly, Grandma Zhou could no longer bear it.
"Madam, that damned Concubine Ruan actually tried to use you to harm her own family. She's worse than an animal! We can't let her off this time! We have to show her who's in charge in this Earl's Mansion."
It can be imagined that Ruan Jiao is really unkind, as she can make the usually gentle Mrs. Zhou so angry.
"Thank goodness that Madam Ruan knows right from wrong and didn't put all the blame on us."
Wang put down the tools in her hands and walked towards the house: "Where is Ruan Jiao now?"
Zhou Po didn't know Ruan Jiao's whereabouts. The two of them went into the house to look for her and found out that Ruan Jiao had been taken away by the officials with the large army to dig up the road.
"Wait until she comes back. Aunt Zhang, please go outside and keep an eye on her."
When Ruan Mian took Cuizhu out for a free medical consultation, he saw Aunt Zhang.
"Miss, I think Aunt Zhang is definitely waiting for the Third Miss to come back. The Third Miss actually planned to harm Rui Ge'er. She is so inhumane! We must tell the eldest master, no, we should tell everyone in the mansion!"
Ruan Mian curled the corners of his lips in disapproval.
"We don't need to say anything about these things. Someone will naturally make it known to everyone. Just watch the show."
Not long after she left, Chen also packed up some things and went to give Ruan Qingsong a small heater and some dry food.
He left in a hurry this morning and didn't take anything with him. She was worried that he would catch a cold outside.
So he took the maid to find Ruan Qingsong.
When Ruan Qingsong saw Chen, he was shocked and hurried over to look at her with concern: "It's still snowing! Why did you come out?"
"A Song, I'm fine. I can take care of myself. Are you cold? I brought you a heater and plenty of food. You should rest and replenish your energy first."
Chen thoughtfully took out a small heater and dry food from her bag and handed them to him with a smile.
She and Ruan Qingsong were engaged since childhood, grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and were the most important people to each other.
Chen was born with a gentle and beautiful appearance. Many young masters came to her to propose marriage, but none of them could compare to Ruan Qingsong.
In the vast expanse of white snow, this beautiful woman, as beautiful as a fairy, stands out among a group of dusty people.
She was well protected by the people in the Ruan Mansion. She had delicate skin and gentle eyes. The caring way she treated Ruan Qingsong made anyone jealous.
Among them, Li Mao was the worst.
How come he never noticed that there was such a wonderful person like Chen in the Ruan Mansion? She was just what he wanted!
Ruan Qingsong is already half dead, how can he be worthy of such a beauty?
Thinking of that stinky woman Yao at home, not only does she have an ugly face every day, but she also has a bad temper and does nothing but complain all day long. How can she be as gentle and lovely as Chen?
If that Ruan Qingsong was himself, Li Mao would not know how happy he would be.
The loneliness along the way seemed to be dispelled by Chen, and a candle in his heart was rekindled. The look he gave Chen became more meaningful.
He spat on his hands, gripped the shovel tightly and shoveled the snow hard, all kinds of thoughts flashing through his mind.
When he returned, he went to find Ruan Jiao first.
Originally, Nanny Zhang wanted to take Ruan Jiao to see Wang, but Li Mao got there first!
When Nanny Zhang saw Ruan Jiao being taken away by Li Mao, she was slightly startled. She quickly hid her body and followed quietly.
Ruan Jiao looked around, quickly retracted her hand, and put some distance between herself and Li Mao.
"Second Master, I wonder what you want from me?"
Li Mao is Li Shen's second uncle. It is reasonable for Ruan Jiao to keep a distance from him.
She didn't want to be accused of adultery like Aunt Jiao Chen and then be abandoned in the wilderness by the old lady.
Li Mao saw her intention to stay away and snorted, "What are you afraid of?"
