Ruan Jiu smiled and said, "That's good. Learning another skill means having another way to save your life."
The path this child from the Fu family will walk in the future will be no simpler than his; if he makes even the slightest mistake, he could lose his life.
Fan Xiaofan noticed that Ruan Jiu seemed to pay more attention to the child, but she didn't think much of it, assuming it was because of Shi Lingheng that she asked a few more questions.
Ruan Jiu appeared aloof and gentlemanly, concealing his imposing presence and giving off a harmless appearance.
Fan Xiaofan sensed that someone at the door seemed to be looking for Ruan Jiu, and wisely smiled and said goodbye.
"I suddenly remembered I needed to get something for this child. Goodbye, Mr. Ruan..."
Ruan Jiu smiled and nodded, watching Fan Xiaofan and Fu Weidong leave.
He stroked his chin, pondering the matter between Shi Lingheng and Fan Xiaofan. He thought it was a real pity that the girl was so well-behaved and obedient, paired with Shi Lingheng's pretentious and capricious nature.
Putting aside his gossipy thoughts for the moment, he sought out Ah Wu, whom he currently relied on. Seeing that Ruan Jiu had a moment to spare, Ah Wu gave a simple, honest smile and reported on the situation there.
"Miss Bai is not doing well; she's insisting on seeing the master..."
He curled his lip in disdain, thinking it was just wishful thinking.
Bai Miaoqin framed Mr. Ruan, causing him to narrowly escape death. Now she has received her retribution. After the evidence was presented, the wealth and glory she once thought she had in her grasp have all vanished.
Even after being assigned to clean the filthiest outhouses, she showed no remorse or desire to atone for her sins. Instead, she even dared to try and use her husband's connections to gain personal benefits...
Does she still think she's her fiancée, the apple of her husband's eye, and that others will give her face because of him?
The gentleman was no pushover either. After hearing the commotion in Beidu, he clicked his tongue twice and chuckled, saying, "Since she's so hung up on me, why not let her come to Qingcheng? Right now, I'm just doing nothing but recuperating, which is quite boring..."
His voice was calm, but the profound meaning behind his words sent a chill down one's spine.
Ah Wu thought to himself, "Some people just love to make trouble for themselves, and there's no way to stop them..."
Bai Miaoqin, however, still doesn't understand the situation. Does she think that Mr. Ruan sent her to Qingcheng so that she could live a good life?
As for the idea that she can't forget her past love, that their love was so intense and painful, and that even though she hurt Mr. Ruan deeply, he would forgive her and treat her well as if nothing had happened, A-Wu thinks that Bai Miaoqin's brain must have been eaten away by ants...
Although A-Wu didn't know that this was a condition later known as "love-struck brain," he had followed Mr. Ruan long enough, and Mr. Ruan was a man destined for great things, hmph...
He unconsciously imagined all sorts of things, while Ruan Jiu leisurely walked out of the post office, her smile not reaching her eyes: "Okay, let's go see..." how miserable she was...
Bai Miaoqin truly regretted it. After listening to her uncle and aunt's instigation and placing something that shouldn't have appeared to frame Ruan Jiu, she thought that she had finally escaped the control of men and that she would have a free and bright future.
She was spoiled by Ruan Jiu so much that she didn't realize how rare it was for Ruan Jiu to provide her with a stable living environment in the current chaotic situation. On the contrary, she felt that Ruan Jiu was restricting her freedom.
While enjoying a wealthy life supported by the Ruan family's financial resources, she was also deceived by sweet words, feeling that her fiancé, Ruan Jiu, did not meet her heart's desire and was an obstacle to her pursuit of freedom and true love.
This is probably what later generations called "love-induced brain disease," or simply "being so full of oneself that one has nothing better to do."
