Chapter 36
"You are here today, I'm afraid you're not just visiting me, my grandmother, what else is there?" said Mrs. Jiang. Before Jiang Ruan arrived, a maid had already reported on what had happened outside Yanhuayuan. Jiang Ruan proposed to find her to solve the matter. Mrs. Jiang was also very surprised and then realized that this big girl was not happy with Jiang Quan, and her stepmother was not a kind person. She thought that she would be the only way out for her grandmother. However, if she wanted to please her and help Madam Zhou, she would not want to.
Before Jiang Ruan could speak, he heard a maid outside report: "Madam is here." Then, a crisp voice sounded: "Grandma!"
Without turning back, Jiang Ruan saw a figure in white running past her side, climbing onto Mrs. Jiang's couch in a familiar way, snuggling to Mrs. Jiang like a cat, and happily said, "Grandma, look at me bringing your favorite almond cake." After that, she put the small straw basket in her hand on the table like offering treasures.
"Su Niang, look at what you look like, what should I do if I disturb my grandmother?" Xia Yan's voice sounded from behind.
Jiang Susu curled her lips: "What's the matter? Grandma won't blame me."
"Skin Monkey." Mrs. Jiang scolded, but smiled: "If you don't understand the rules like this, you won't make people laugh if you get married in the future."
"What did grandmother say?" Jiang Susu blushed, and she looked like she had just noticed Jiang Ruan, and said in surprise: "Big sister is here too."
Jiang Ruanhan nodded with a smile.
Jiang Susu looked at Mrs. Jiang, then looked at Jiang Ruan, and suddenly said, "Grandma, are you and the eldest sister saying something about Susu behind their backs? Susu also needs to listen, Big sister, what did you do just now?" She blinked, her eyes as hazy as clouds and mist were lively and affectionate, her bright red tears were like a small flower, her posture was innocent, as if she had fallen into the world, and she was so pitiful to see.
Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything, but just turned her eyes to Jiang Ruan.
Caique looked at Jiang Ruan with some concern. The room was lively, but the big girl seemed to be alone, deserted and deserted, and there was not even anyone who could help me say something.
Xia Yan smiled: "Su Niang, don't talk nonsense, your elder sister..."
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Ruan sighed softly, her voice softly, and said slowly: "Su Niang was wrong. I came here today, just to see my grandmother. Su Niang, you know that I have been in the village for five years and have not met my grandmother for five years. The Buddhist scriptures emphasize perfection. I think the most perfect thing in the world is family reunion. I am not like you, you can enjoy such perfection at all times. For me, today's meeting is the most perfect moment in five years. My grandmother and I didn't whisper, I... just want to meet my relatives."
The room was surprisingly quiet. Jiang Ruan stood quietly, with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes seemed to be filled with sadness. Compared to Jiang Susu's pity, her quietness taught people to want to explore more.
Xia Yan's smile was frozen on his face, and his hands were clenched in his sleeves. Jiang Ruan said nothing, but he still accused Jiang Susu of his rudeness. Who could make things difficult for a girl who Fang Gui's home and longed for family affection? Sure enough, he saw that Mrs. Jiang's gaze was softer when she looked at Jiang Ruan. Before Jiang Susu could react, she heard Mrs. Jiang's unhappy voice sounded: "Su Niang, your eldest sister, Fang Gui's, it is natural to see my grandmother, and you are not allowed to make trouble."
Jiang Susu was stunned for a moment. It was true that she was deliberately targeting Jiang Ruan, but she was sure that Mrs. Jiang would not blame her. She was well-behaved and sensible over the years. Mrs. Jiang loved her very much, but this was the first time she got angry with her. She was still young. Jiang Susu was a little reluctant to cover up and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sister, Susu didn't do it on purpose. Sister, don't be angry, okay?"
"You and I are sisters, how could I get angry?" Jiang Ruan replied gently.
Mrs. Jiang was even more satisfied and said, "You sisters should support you, and the big girl did a good job today."
Xia Yan smiled and walked forward: "Ruan Niang is naturally a good person, but Ruan Niang, I heard that Linlang made you angry today. It seemed that she wanted the old lady to make the decision for a servant. What's going on?"
Jiang Susu was still lying beside Mrs. Jiang, but her posture was not as natural as Fang Jin's house. Mrs. Jiang also looked at her, obviously waiting for her statement.
Jiang Ruan told the whole story outside Yanhuayuan. Her tone was stable, and even the conversation between herself and Linlang was repeated without any words. It was not embellished, which made people more convincing. After saying that, she looked at Mrs. Jiang: "Old Madam, when my mother passed away, I was ill in bed. I only heard that Mrs. Zhou left the mansion, but I didn't expect to see it today. I thought that a brave maid at that time said the wrong thing. But I don't know, Mrs. Zhou was my wet nurse, so why did she fall to this point now?"
Xia Yan sighed softly: "Niang Ruan, you are young, and I don't want to tell you some things. In fact, after my sister passed away, Madam Zhou was not leaving the house, but stole her sister's jewelry and was about to leave. The servants in Jiang's mansion are the most unwilling tolerant of servants, and Madam Zhou is your wet nurse. I was afraid that you would be sad and disappointed, so I discussed with the master and punish Madam Zhou first, but I never told you." Xia Yan looked at her sincerely: "Now I'll teach you what to do. My mother is here to compensate you, but this servant should be punished. Even if you want to misunderstand me, I don't regret the original decision."
Caique and Dujuan both listened quietly. There was no place for them to speak here, but they thought secretly in their hearts that the lady said nothing, and after saying this, the girl had nothing to say.
Jiang Ruan shook her head: "Although my mother dealt with the servants of Mei Qingyuan by herself and never told me in five years, she was all for my sake. How could I blame my mother?"
Xia Yan's face looked a little bad, but seeing that Jiang Ruan's face was even more sincere than her, she seemed to not notice the sarcasm in her words at all, and she even breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Jiang Ruan said again: "But I still don't understand one thing, that is, the servant who stole the owner's money and jewelry. It seems that he doesn't seem to have a punishment like gouging his eyes and eating Ye Xiang. The Jiang family is also a scholarly family, how can he do such a bloody thing?"
"Going your eyes and eating the night fragrance?" Mrs. Jiang frowned: "What's going on?" She is a Buddhist chanting Buddha and has her own opinions on some things. She has always turned a blind eye to Xia Yan's methods. She knows that Xia Yan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but she is not as vicious as this woman who speaks softly on Mandarin, who can treat an unarmed wet nurse so viciously. This has touched her bottom line.
