Dressed as a female partner, she was spotted by the reborn male protagonist

Chapter 8 Mr. Ruan

Ruan Mianmian picked up the curtain and went in.

On the ground in the main hall, Ruan Lingxiao's eyes were dull and her whole body was as weak as a paper figure. Even so, she still struggled to comfort the child, holding her tightly in her arms and patting the baby's back.

Even though there was a tense situation in the hall, the baby still felt full of security in his mother's arms and fell asleep peacefully.

Mrs. Qin was kneeling on the ground and crying non-stop, "Mother, I just found out yesterday that Xiao'er had several wounds on her body, which were all inflicted by her son-in-law. How can you let her get back to such a husband's family? Isn't this going to cost her her life?" .”

"The husband is his wife's guide, what's wrong with the husband beating her a few times? What's the big deal, she is going to die or live. She is already a member of the Zhao family. The Zhao family can treat her badly. It's just a small fight between husband and wife. It’s a small fuss, what about it?”

Ruan Mianmian stretched out her hand to pull Qin to stand up. Qin was not willing to stand up, but she still thought about kowtowing a few times until the old lady agreed.

Aunt Xin tried her best to stop several women who were about to take action. The other maids in the main room just knelt on the ground and did not dare to step forward.

"Ms. Qin! You are disobeying your elders. If you don't let go, you will take me to the ancestral hall and kneel down. I want to see who has the final say in this family!"

Mrs. Ruan slammed the table angrily. Today's matter really challenged her authority.

"Grandma, why are you so angry?" Ruan Mianmian's face was as calm as water, and his expression was as usual, but his tone was neither urgent nor slow, neither angry nor powerful, which actually made the tense atmosphere in the hall a little lighter.

Mrs. Ruan has been extremely displeased with what her granddaughter has done recently. Her good granddaughter, who used to be submissive in front of her and did not dare to disobey her, suddenly became very assertive, which made her unable to control her.

Mrs. Ruan looked at Ruan Mianmian with her eyes, but said nothing, hoping to make her feel a little afraid.

Mrs. Hu, however, couldn't hold her breath, "You don't know, Miss Third, that your eldest sister stole an extremely valuable enamel baggage vase from the old lady and refused to hand it over. The old lady is also very angry now."

"Oh? Has anyone seen it?" Ruan Mianmian looked directly into Hu's eyes, trying to find some clues.

"This...isn't this obvious? If you don't lose it sooner or later, you will lose it later. But it happened after Ruan Lingxiao came back. What's more, isn't your big house short of money?"

"That means no one saw it! Where is the physical evidence?"

Mrs. Hu's mouth dropped. She couldn't finish the sentence. The bottle hadn't been found yet, not to mention the way Miss Ruan San looked at her, which made her a little panicked for no reason.

Seeing Hu's behavior, Ruan Mianmian felt confident.

When Mrs. Ruan saw this, she became even more angry. How could this third granddaughter become so annoying now? Not only did she not share her concerns, but she actually caused trouble for her.

Seeing Mrs. Ruan's face, Grandma Li said quickly, "Miss Third, I went to the warehouse and checked. The three locks were intact and there were no signs of being broken open by force.

The keys of the Second Lady and the Third Lady were also well kept in front of them.But the eldest lady's key was missing, so the old lady came to ask the eldest lady what she wanted to say. "

"Where's the woman who keeps the warehouse? Have you asked?"

Ruan Mianmian does not need to prove herself, she only needs to turn against the enemy and let the other party mess up.

"Of course I asked." Nanny Li felt a little weak as she felt like she was answering her master's instructions.

Ruan Mianmian only stared at her with a pair of eyes, with a cold smile on his lips, which made people feel guilty for no reason.

Grandma Li felt guilty after being stared at, and her momentum weakened, "Mr. Liu said that no one has opened the warehouse door in the past few days."

Ruan Mianmian laughed angrily, "So the eldest sister, a frail woman who just gave birth, avoided the eyes of the maids in the house, got into the warehouse to get something out of thin air, and then came out through the wall?"

As soon as this was said, Fourth Miss Ruan Xiangxiang burst into laughter. She quickly covered her mouth and stepped back, hoping to use Mrs. Lu to block Mrs. Ruan's flying glare.

"Third Miss, that's not what you said. If Ruan Lingxiao doesn't go by himself, then there are so many servants." "That means the family is lax! The servants who steal things from the master's house should be severely punished, and The master is only responsible for lax discipline.

What's more, I still don't know whose servant is in the room? "

"That's enough!" Mrs. Ruan slapped the table, and the whole hall fell into silence.

"I am very sharp-tongued and eloquent. I don't know who I learned it from. It is not decent."

Mrs. Ruan said as she glanced at Mrs. Qin who was kneeling on the ground and crying.

Neither mother nor daughter told her to worry about it. How could she not know that the evidence was insufficient? But this morning someone from the Zhao family came to tell her that she was secretly asked to send Ruan Lingxiao back as soon as possible. She just didn't want to offend the governor of Jiangzhou and delay her son's career. , why are these people so ignorant?

At this time, the servant's announcement came from outside the door, "The old lady is here!"

Mrs. Ruan quickly stood up in the room, while the other ladies and ladies and the maids and women in the room knelt on the ground.

Old Mrs. Ruan entered the room with an angry look on his face, and saw that only the third granddaughter was still standing upright in the middle of the hall. Even Mrs. Ruan bowed her knees to Old Mrs. Ruan.

It can be seen that Mr. Ruan has great rules and high status in the Ruan family.

Old Mrs. Ruan passed by Ruan Mianmian, pouted, and wanted to say something, but he held it back.

"It's just a family thief. How can it be unbecoming to make such a scene?" Old Mrs. Ruan said and glared at Mrs. Ruan. With a stern look on his face, he looked like a murderer with a background in martial arts.

"What the old man said is, now that you are here, please tell me what to do."

Old Mrs. Ruan didn't ask to sit down, so Mrs. Ruan just stood aside with her eyebrows lowered.

Mrs. Ruan, who has been married for 50 to [-] years and still has no face at all in front of her husband, is rare in Jiangzhou and even Jingguo.

But the entire Ruan family is used to it.

"Since the third granddaughter is so smart, let her do the investigation. Just send a mother-in-law to accompany you. There is no need for you to intervene in such a trivial matter."

Mrs. Ruan responded hurriedly and was very careful and respectful.

"Mother Li, please accompany Third Miss to investigate, and give us an explanation before nightfall today." Mrs. Ruan spoke directly, and even Mr. Hu, who had been disrespectful just now, did not dare to say another word.

Old Mrs. Ruan sent everyone out and spoke to Mrs. Ruan alone.

"Now that Prince Mian has made an engagement with his third granddaughter, if there are rumors of lax governance or theft by relatives, the royal family will not tolerate the prince marrying a princess with a tainted reputation, not to mention Ruan Qian's official career. King Zhumian is here!"

Mrs. Ruan stiffened after hearing this. She originally thought that as long as the third granddaughter was not the one in charge, she would blame the matter on Ruan Lingxiao, which would not only comply with the Zhao family's wishes, but also defeat the third granddaughter, killing two birds with one stone.

But she had forgotten the principle of both prosperity and loss.

No matter who made the mistake, it was the family member who made the mistake. This is passing the blame into other people's hands.

Seeing her reaction, Mr. Ruan said no more, "No matter what the third granddaughter finds, remember to put the overall situation first."

Old Mrs. Ruan looked at Mrs. Ruan who was still in a daze, and felt angry, "If we can't manage it well again, when Officer Ruan Qian is reinstated, we will let the eldest daughter-in-law take charge of our family."
