Chapter 29 Rumors
I'm afraid there is something seriously wrong with King Mian's brain.

This character is too twisted.

Ruan Mianmian opened the quilt and got out of bed, "Then what did the master say?"

"The master said that he didn't dare to make the decision, so he still had to ask His Majesty for instructions."

Fortunately, Ruan Qian is a fool. The more he uses imperial power to suppress him, the more he has to consider the big rules of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust.

"Ask Xuewei to go to Mu's house and tell her cousin what happened today."

In this situation, Mu Wan Ning should be more anxious than she is. After all, the person who wants her most to break off the engagement and marry the King of England is Mu Wan Ning, the heroine.

Sometimes the heroine's halo can be borrowed and used.

After Ruan Mianmian washed up and changed into a light dress, she was going to go out to buy some medicinal materials.

What happened yesterday reminded her that she should also make some poison powder, poison, antidote pills, etc. and take them with her in case of emergency.

Just as Ruan Mianmian was about to go out, Mrs. Ruan called her to Yushou Hall.

"From today onwards, you will go to the ancestral hall and kneel, and you are not allowed to leave the house even half a step until the wedding date is set." Mrs. Ruan had a mop tied on her head, her eyes were black and blue, her body looked very weak, and she couldn't help but hang down. If Grandma Li hadn't been holding her head, it seemed like she would have fallen straight to the ground.

"The face of the Ruan family is really embarrassing for you. You have already made an engagement with King Mian, so you should keep to yourself. How can you provoke the King of England in public? Oh, you don't even have any face." Said Old Man Ruan. The people beat their breasts and stamped their feet.

She really couldn't figure out how her third granddaughter, who had been raised bit by bit since childhood, became like this.

"it is good."

Ruan Mianmian agreed happily, but Mrs. Ruan was stunned. That's it?Don't talk back?No more trouble?

Mrs. Ruan was still a little unaccustomed to it, and she was still dazed, so Ruan Mianmian went out by herself.

"Miss Third?" Que'er didn't expect her young lady to become so easy to talk to.

Ruan Mianmian went back to Wutong Garden first, took out a slightly thicker dress and put it on, and also brought a cloak. She also ordered Qiu Shui to put on the knee pads he had made for her two days ago, and then put the knee pads in front of the locked private room. He held the lock on the small cabinet in his hand and went straight to the ancestral hall.

"Miss Third, what do you want to do?"

Que'er entered the ancestral hall with Ruan Mianmian and was puzzled when she saw her third lady sitting on the floor mat with no intention of kneeling in the ancestral hall.

"Wait and you'll find out."

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Nanny Li brought someone over.

"Third Miss, you have to have a rule to admit your mistakes. How can you be so unladylike as you?"

"What should we do?" Ruan Mianmian smiled, her smile so sweet that she forgot about the beating she received that day and mistakenly thought that Ruan Mianmian was really going to admit her mistake this time.

"Of course you have to kneel all the time and you are not allowed to get up, you are not allowed to have maids to serve you, and you are not allowed to come in and out at will..." Nanny Li told Ruan Mianmian not only, but also the caretaker.

It stands to reason that young ladies from aristocratic families would not be able to kneel for such a long time. They say they are punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall, but that is just an idea. Most of them will sit on the soft cushions for a while when others leave.

Aunt Li is going to take revenge for that day.

"Miss Third, please kneel down and let me have a look." After saying that, Grandma Li took the ruler from the hand of the maid behind her and stared at Ruan Mianmian coldly.

"Why don't you give me a demonstration first? I'm really not good at it." Ruan Mianmian pleaded with rare words.

The look in her eyes was so sincere that she almost believed it. As soon as she hesitated, the ruler fell on her body several times, making her cry.

"Mama Li, it's not right to kneel like this!" Ruan Mianmian didn't give Mammy Li a chance to argue. The ruler fell like raindrops, making the woman who was guarding the ancestral hall tremble, and finally she covered her eyes without daring. Go and see.

Ruan Mianmian felt that the beating was almost done, so she threw the ruler out, "Mother Li, I have already knelt down in the ancestral hall. Even if I beat you up, I will marry you soon, and it is impossible to punish you more severely. At most, if you kneel for a few more days, your beatings will be in vain."

Grandma Li was so angry that her teeth ached. She thought to herself that this was really true, and she became even more depressed.

Grandma Li yelled at someone to lock the door, and ordered not to deliver food to the third lady for the next few days. Only then did her anger subside. She was not afraid of being discovered, she was just looking for a little maid to take the blame.

As soon as they left, Ruan Mianmian handed over the extra dresses and cloaks she wore and the knee pads to Que'er.

"You put on my clothes to disguise yourself. When I leave, you can use this lock to lock the door from the inside."

Que'er was just about to say that there was a lock outside, how could her third lady get out, when she saw that the lock outside had somehow fallen to the ground under Ruan Mianmian's fiddling.

The caretaker had gone to see off Nanny Li but she hadn't come back yet. Ruan Mianmian quickly locked the lock on the outer door, climbed up on the roof, and quickly disappeared into the Ruan Mansion.

Inside the Xuanhu Hall
Shopkeeper Sun glanced at the strange prescription in his hand and wanted to ask, when he saw the man from Yushu Qiongzhi opposite putting ten taels of silver on the counter.

"I'm anxious. Please hurry up, shopkeeper."

Ruan Mianmian had already changed into men's clothes and bought a paper fan, covering half of her face intentionally or unintentionally.

Although the shopkeeper had doubts, he quickly prepared the medicine for the sake of money.

"Can this medicine be used after being ground into powder?" Shopkeeper Sun asked reluctantly, but Ruan Mianmian left without looking back.

Seeing that it was still early, Ruan Mianmian planned to go from the most remote back narrow alley in Su City to Mianwang Courtyard to inquire about the situation.

This back narrow alley is very special. The North Street adjacent to it is considered to be the most lively and prosperous street in Sioux City, while the narrow street to the south is the launch of the canal that leads through Su City through the city, so the alley smells It smells bad and is sparsely populated, which is convenient for her.

Ruan Mianmian originally thought that there would be no one in such a place, but she found a weak figure at the entrance of the alley, squatting on the ground and shivering.

It was getting late at this time, and it would be completely dark in just one cup of tea. It would definitely be unsafe for the little girl to stay here alone, let alone by the river.

Ruan Mianmian quickly came to the little girl's side. Although it was spring, it was still a little cold in the morning and evening, but the little girl was wearing a thin and torn single coat. Her lips were white and trembling, and she was obviously frozen.

"Why are you here alone, where are your parents?"

The little girl was not afraid when she saw someone coming. She just glanced at Ruan Mianmian, then buried her head between her knees and drew circles on the ground.

Ruan Mianmian looked around and saw that no other shops were open. The narrow road next to the water alley was already sparsely populated. What was he going to do to allow such a young child to wait here by himself?

In this world, the poorer the people, the more suffering they will encounter. She does not want to use the greatest malice to speculate on people's hearts.

Then he walked to the little girl's side and squatted on the ground with her to draw, "I'll wait with you for a while."

The sky was getting dark and the full sun had disappeared. The little girl's father hadn't come yet. She wanted to take the child to the government to ask.

Suddenly, I saw an almost black red rope slipping from the little girl's forearm. It looked like she had been wearing it for a long time.

Ruan Mianmian didn't take it seriously at first, but was stunned when she saw the wooden pendant hanging on the red rope.

Wouldn't it be so coincidental!

The flower has three intersecting petals, one leaf on the left, and a "moon" character carved on it!
This is the token carved by the emperor himself for the eldest princess in the book!
