Old Madam Ruan leaned on the back of the chair, closed her eyes and meditated. After a long while, when the old nanny thought she was going to fall asleep, Old Madam Ruan suddenly opened her eyes and sighed heavily.
She didn't want to do the face-slapping thing, it would hurt the Ruan family's reputation, but now, this is the only way to go.
"The Ruan family looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact it has long since faded away. Don't look at the boss as a minister, but he has no real power."
Mrs. Ruan looked exhausted, lamenting that this was a helpless move, the younger members of the Ruan family were useless and could only rely on Ruan Pingzhi.
"Pingzhi has no intention of becoming an official through the imperial examination, and his son does not inherit his father's career, so why not go to the countryside to farm? Don't look at what kind of family our Ruan family is!"
No matter how weak the Ruan family is, they are still skinny camels, bigger than a horse. The identity of the Ruan family's mistress must be able to stand on the stage.
Wang's heart is cruel, but there is one thing she appreciates. Wang has always put the Ruan family's interests first, so there will be no mistakes in general.
The head of the Ruan family, the mistress, must think about the family and want to benefit her mother's family all day long. If she can't become a helper for the Ruan family, she just occupies that position.
If Ruan Pingzhi hadn't brought Zhang Ruyi back and let Mrs. Wang come in, Mrs. Ruan would still have to think about it for a while. Now, at this juncture, she has no other choice.
"However, I'm afraid that the little miss and the eldest miss Zhang are on good terms, and I'm afraid I'm not happy."
As the old mammy said, she soaked through a wet cloth towel and dabbed the sweat on the forehead of Mrs. Ruan.
When people are old and weak, they love to sweat a lot. In winter, Mrs. Ruan took too many supplements, and her whole body was hot. Before going to bed, she had to ask the old mother to fan her to sleep peacefully.
"What can she do if she is unhappy? When will it be her turn to make decisions in the Ruan family? Even if her mother is alive, a married woman can't control her family."
Mrs. Ruan suddenly sat up and calmed down for a moment, about tomorrow Zhang Ruyi will confess her relatives with blood, Zhang Ruyi wants to go back, the Ruan family will not give Zhang Ruyi the opportunity to continue visiting.
"Old lady, you said that Mrs. Wang came back at this critical moment, and you gave her a step. Does Mrs. Wang know something?"
Those who have lived in the back house for decades are basically human beings. The old lady is old, but she is not confused. After a little thought, she will understand.
Otherwise, Mrs. Wang wouldn't have taken advantage of this loophole, packed up her things, and just waited to be welcomed into Ruan's house through the main entrance.
Except for getting married back then, Mrs. Wang never walked through the main gate.
"You just figured it out?"
Mrs. Ruan sneered, it's not just the Wang family who knows, there is no secret in the high school in the capital, they are almost related by relatives, there is no eyeliner in that house, there is a little trouble, and it will naturally spread.
It's not just the Wang family, the Wang family is smart and ruthless, and knows how to add fuel to the flames. The Zhang family is determined to entangle Zhang Ruyi's identity, including the Xia family who keeps dragging their feet.
With the return of the Wang family, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. No matter what, Zhang Ruyi cannot be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.
"I'm not an unenlightened person. If Pingzhi really likes Zhang Ruyi, he should raise him in Zhuangzi and visit him once in a while."
No man has a long relationship, and it will be nothing new after three or five years at most. She doesn't need to embarrass her grandson because of a woman.
However, people must not stay in the Ruan family. As for what Li Haitang thinks, it is not within the scope of consideration of the old lady of the Ruan family.
"Old madam, this old slave is just thinking, should we still ask the young lady for her opinion, if the young lady recognizes her ancestors and returns to the clan, then her status will be different, she is the ruler, we are the ministers!"
The old lady was still very jealous of Li Haitang's identity. It could be seen that the young lady was very loyal, otherwise she wouldn't rush to the door on the first day of the new year.
It's not a loss for Zhang Ruyi to have such a good sister.
"No matter how old she is, how can she deny my grandmother?"
Mrs. Ruan snapped off the lid of the tea bowl, and rubbed the center of her brows with her hands. If it wasn't for Li Haitang's identity, who would be polite to her?
Therefore, Mrs. Ruan took a step back and promised that as long as Ruan Pingzhi brought Zhang Ruyi to Zhuangzi, she would turn a blind eye and close one eye.
When one gets old, the greatest consolation is that the offspring are promising, the Ruan family is thriving, and the flowers are blooming. She doesn't care about the rest.
The old mama kept silent, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart.
Without any family ties, just relying on that level of kinship, can it really bring prosperity to the Ruan family? not necessarily.
After a long silence, the old lady was about to go out when she suddenly heard the old lady of the Ruan family say quietly, "You think I will keep Mrs. Wang? It's just a stopgap measure."
"It proves that the Xia family was killed tragically by the raped coachman and maid, maybe it was the Wang family's fault."
The Zhang family has been wanting to get accurate information on this matter. The Xia family provided evidence and was ready to confront, but the Ruan family would not get involved. How did that person die?
It was very strange to die at this stall. Combined with Mrs. Wang's calm entry into the house, Mrs. Ruan figured it out.
"This is really..."
The old mama trembled, not the most ruthless, only more ruthless, this time, even if Zhang Ruyi is not a bastard, she has to sit down.
In fact, it doesn't matter if it's adulterous or not. The important thing is whether the Zhang family believes it or not, and the rest of the people believe it or not.
Recognizing relatives by dripping blood is no longer critical, because the Zhang family gave up Zhang Ruyi.
…
The weather was just right, but Li Haitang's mood fell to the bottom. When he came out of the main courtyard, there was a servant girl leading the way, Ruan Pingzhi and Wang Shi followed behind, and the group came to the house where Ruan Shi lived before his death.
It has been unoccupied for about twenty years. Although the yard is often taken care of, it lacks a bit of popularity and looks gloomy.
After entering the door, a cloud of cloudy air rushed towards the face, and the room was dim, and there was no light.
"My aunt lived here before she got married."
Ruan Pingzhi sighed, no matter how well organized the house was, there was mold on the walls, small mold spots appeared.
In the inner room, there was a rotten smell.
"Cousin, grandma told you to live here, obviously it's not acceptable. Today, you should live in the guest house."
Wang wiped the dust with a handkerchief, coughed twice, her face flushed.
Li Haitang shook her head, she has a family in the capital, which is a thousand times better than the Ruan Mansion, why would she want to live here, making herself unhappy?
Too lazy to deal with Wang, Li Haitang turned and stared at Ruan Pingzhi, "Cousin, I have something to say to you alone."
Tomorrow, blood will be used to identify relatives. Zhang Zheng found a hundred pairs of people who are related to each other, and compared them with blood test. In fact, these are meaningless.
Zhang Ruyi is really besieged on all sides, and Li Haitang has the responsibility to protect her good sisters. If Ruan Pingzhi can't stand it, he can just say that no matter how difficult everything is, there is always a solution. She was afraid that Ruan Pingzhi would be firm on the surface, and in the end he would turn against him without saying a word, leaving Ruyi alone, alone. At least give her a little advance so that Li Haitang can be mentally prepared.
