Chapter 286
Chapter 286 The first time I hurt someone
Ling Xiao's feet were as if oil was applied, and he greeted Liu Ruyan while drifting away silently.
Mint opened her mouth, not knowing where to start, so she could only lower her eyes and turn her mind to deal with Liu Ruyan's next problem, but the next moment, a little pain came on her head, "Let's go!"
Mint then raised his hand and touched the place where Liu Ruyan had already left, so she had to follow her towards the car step by step.
At a relatively remote intersection outside Qincheng, a carriage was waiting. Liu Ruyan and Mint got off the carriage and got on the carriage and headed to their destination under the protection of Dalong and others.
A small farmyard that looks small from the outside is surrounded by quiet fields and rivers. Nearby is a church orphanage, and in the distance is a village community. During this cold spring season, the mountains, rivers and rivers are all thin layers of yellow and green.
"So quiet and beautiful!" Liu Ruyan looked outside through the glass window.
Mint said, "No matter how beautiful it is, it is not as beautiful as our Jiangnan! This season of Jiangnan is even more beautiful than paintings! Miss, do you remember what happened when you were a child? Just before you went abroad? At that time, when this season comes, you have to go to the Jiangning River to draw... "
"Wow~" the coachman said, interrupting Mint's memory.
The coachman stopped, and Dalong stepped forward to report, "Madam, we are here."
Liu Ruyan and Mint got off the carriage one after another. She looked around, "You are guarding outside the gate, be careful not to alarm the residents around you. After doing the work, we will leave."
When he walked into the door, an elderly woman was waiting. When she saw Liu Ruyan, she was slightly stunned, "Madam, are you here?"
Liu Ruyan nodded, "How is she now?"
The old woman said respectfully, "It's still the same way, she doesn't eat or drink, and she doesn't let people approach her. She just wants to see a cigarette one by one..."
Liu Ruyan gave Mint a wink, "You can wait in the yard!"
After Liu Ruyan entered the house, Aunt Jiu knelt on the ground with her hair disheveled, begging her to save her and the child.
Liu Ruyan sat on the stool brought by the old servant, gave them a few winks, and all the servants retreated.
Liu Ruyan looked at Aunt Jiu, "I'm here to save you. You don't have to kneel down and sit up and let's talk." As she said that, she opened a heat-insulated food box she brought, then put out chicken soup, and chatted with Aunt Jiu, "It's been three months, right?"
Aunt Ninth smelled the light chicken soup, her throat moved and she swallowed silently. She hadn't eaten since she was arrested by the third wife to the west courtyard. "No! It's almost four months."
Liu Ruyan specially added a few pieces of stewed chicken into a bowl and handed it to Aunt Jiu, "Give it, hurry up and eat something! You can raise it here in the future! These mothers are all allowed to send you. Just tell them whatever they want."
Aunt Ninth took the bowl and lowered her head and smelled it, "Well! It smells so good! Thank you, Ruyan, you are the best to me. In the future, I will thank you for your great kindness and virtue as a cow."
Liu Ruyan's heartbeat was thumping, but she pretended to be calm and said, "No, I'm just doing what the Du family's wife and the Grand Marshal should do."
Aunt Jiu drank several large sips of chicken soup on the edge of the rice bowl and nodded, "Well~ it tastes delicious, you can swallow all these bones! I heard that pregnant women can supplement calcium after eating bones!"
Liu Ruyan continued to add soup and meat to her bowl and pick up food, "As long as you like, eat more."
Aunt Jiu was really hungry. She even ate three small bowls before touching her stomach, wiping her mouth comfortably, and looking at Liu Ruyan, "Ruyan, I have nothing here now, and there is nothing to entertain you."
Liu Ruyan shook her head, "No. I have asked someone to go to the town to buy things. If you are late, you can open the stove and cook yourself."
Liu Ruyan said to the sound of the words, then looked at the ninth concubine, "Ninth concubine, the third lady, why did you suddenly lock you in the West Courtyard?"
Aunt Ninth had his hands tightly stirred together, and she didn't dare to look at Liu Ruyan's eyes, "She! She just couldn't stand me younger than her and favored me in front of the old handsome guy, so I'll hold a grudge! In fact, she had wanted to deal with me a long time ago, but she just didn't have a suitable opportunity."
Liu Ruyan kept counting the time and said to Youyou, "But what I heard was not because of this."
Aunt Jiu suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Liu Ruyan. The panic in her eyes was already revealed, "Then, what are you hearing?"
Liu Ruyan shook her head, "The Marshal's Mansion has lost all the rules recently, and there are all kinds of gossip. Of course, I don't believe that those servants are gossiping, but there is one person... his behavior is really bad for you and your children!"
Aunt Jiu's lips raked a few times, "Who? Who are you talking about?"
Liu Ruyan looked at Aunt Jiu in a panic and said, "Actually, you should know who it is in your heart."
"Puuuu"
The ninth concubine knelt down for Liu Ruyan and knelt on the ground, "Madam, please let us go! I, I really love him, Madam, please, Madam..."
Liu Ruyan suddenly stood up, "Looking at the top of Aunt Jiu's head condescendingly, you can let you go. Then tell me, what did the Third Lady and Lian Qiao say to you in the West Courtyard?"
The ninth concubine said that the third lady said that as long as she bit her belly and was pregnant with the seeds of the Grand Marshal Du Shengting, she would keep him safe and sound. Even if the child fell out, she would give her a lot of money, send her abroad, resettle her family, etc.
Liu Ruyan nodded, "You agreed?"
Aunt Jiu shook her head hard, "No, no, really, I, in order to delay time, I told her to let me think about it. I think you will definitely save me if you know."
Liu Ruyan continued to look down at Aunt Jiu from a high position. She looked up at Liu Ruyan with a begging look on her face, "Madam..."
Liu Ruyan stared at Aunt Ninth's eyes coldly and said, "Mrs. Third Lady, I also know that the child belongs to him, right?"
Aunt Ninth lowered her head again and whispered, "Yes~"
Liu Ruyan carried her body and faced the distant mountains and fields outside the window, and said quietly, "Your family life is not easy, so you chose to be the ninth concubine of the old man Shuai. This is the first one; secondly, you watched your former classmate and friend, the eighth concubine of the old man Shuai, with gold and silver, and then you made up your mind to enter the Grand Marshal's Mansion and become the ninth concubine. The Du family did not press the gun on you, right?"
Aunt Jiu shook her head hard, "No, none, I voluntarily."
Liu Ruyan turned around suddenly and raised her voice, "Then you know that the ninth concubine who is the old handsome will meet the fourth young master, which will make him sad and embarrassed. Haven't you ever thought about these things at that time?"
