married daughter

Chapter 54
Ruan Yunting took a carriage and hurried back to Xu Mansion.He entered the back corner door before Youshi.After talking about that matter with Han Wenyuan, I feel extremely happy in my heart, and my steps are much lighter along the way.However, Ruan Yunting still did not forget to try her best to imitate Ruan Yunlan's every move.He just put on a cool face, just like when he was out of the house, he just nodded with a cold face when he met someone who greeted him.

The closer it is to Lance Academy.The faster she walked, as long as she went back to her own place and finished changing her clothes, this trip would be invisible.

Pushing open the green-painted courtyard door, Ruan Yunting was a little surprised to see that there was no one in the courtyard.He walked quickly to the east wing, opened the door and stepped inside.Close the door behind you.The heart was settled in an instant.He smiled and said, "Red Dou. Chanjuan, I'm back. Hey, get me some tea."

"Would you like some snacks for you?"

The majestic voice of the old lady came from inside.

Ruan Yunting's heart skipped a beat, it's over...

"Old ancestor..." With great difficulty, he moved his legs filled with lead to the back room, and saw the old lady sitting on the Luohan bed, standing beside Han Bin's family and Ruan Yunlan.Hongdou, Chanjuan, Ke'er and Xiao'er all knelt on the ground.

Seeing her come back, Hongdou and Chanjuan looked up at her, then lowered their heads again.

Ruan Yunting's heart suddenly rose to her throat.Liao Yipeng fell to his knees and said with a trembling voice:
"Ting'er asked the ancestor Jin'an."

"Not bad, really good." The old lady stood up, walked up to Ruan Yunting, looked her up and down, and said, "You are smart, you look pretty good!!"

Ruan Yunting shuddered. The old lady's voice was as gentle as usual, but no matter how she heard it, she felt creepy.It seems that people's good luck also has a time to run out.Just now, the "snare" hit nine times on the wrong side, no, he was caught when he returned to the mansion.

"Ting'er knows she's wrong." Ruan Yunting kowtowed.

The old lady didn't speak, she glanced at the people in the room, and everyone felt chills down their backs.

After waiting for a long while for the old lady's answer, Ruan Yunting raised her head, unexpectedly meeting Ruan Yunlan's cold eyes.My heart skipped a beat.It was so hard for her to mend her relationship with her younger brother. Could it be because of this failure?The look in his eyes scares her even more than the impending punishment of the old lady.

When she was in a daze, the old lady took out her handkerchief, bent over to wipe off the red spots on her forehead, and said, "I have a smart granddaughter who knows how to dress up as a man when she goes out of the house, and knows how to use her face well." Just now I heard Madam Cao say that you are not well, I came to see in person, but I didn’t want to see the girls kneeling down on the ground nervously.” The old lady’s tone became severe, and she scolded: “Speak up! What are you doing out there! Is there anything that servants can’t do for you! Have you learned all the rules in vain? All your progress these days is just for show?”

Ruan Yunting's ears turned red from embarrassment, and Ruan Yunlan's sword-like eyes made her feel uncomfortable all over.But no matter what, she has to pass this level.

With a flash of thought, Ruan Yunting stretched her trembling hand into her bosom, and touched the small triangular cloth bag hanging by the red string around her neck.It was the peace talisman that Ruan Yunlan specially asked for from the Ping'an Temple a few days ago.If she took out the peace talisman to the old lady, saying that she disguised herself as a man and went out of the house to ask for the peace talisman for her, the old lady would be angry at her leaving the house without authorization, but she would also be touched by her filial piety.

Holding the magic talisman tightly, Ruan Yunting was about to tear it off, but suddenly let go, and knocked her head on the ground, "I beg my ancestors to punish me, Ting'er is wrong, she shouldn't be playful, and go shopping pretending to be Brother Lan Temple fair. Really, it's really because I've been studying with Madam Cao these days, and I've been bored for too long, so I want to go out and have fun. Ting'er is naughty, let the old ancestor down."

As she spoke, tears fell like broken beads.She can't treat Ruan Junlan like that.So what if he was punished by his ancestors?At worst, they will be locked up for a few days, or starved for a few meals, and then they will be beaten.She can bear these hardships, and she deserves them. Even if she is punished, it won't have much impact on her future, because the ancestors really love her.However, if some things in this world are lost, they will never be found again.In the past, the owner of this body hurt Ruan Yunlan a lot. If she did the same, wouldn't she become a real scum like Ruan Yunting?She can't trample on Ruan Yunlan's sincerity.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yunting choked up and lowered her head, no longer distinguishing herself.She went out of the house to make money, no matter what, she went out secretly, and she deserved the punishment. How could she not pay the price for doing things?

The old lady sighed, in fact, Ruan Yunting has improved a lot.She was very happy.But a mistake is a mistake, one cannot be exempted from punishment just because everyone's emotions are involved, there is nothing to be done without rules, as the head mother of the Xu family, she will never set this precedent.

"From Han Bin's family, take Miss Ruan to the ancestral hall. Kneel for twelve hours in front of your ancestors before you come out." Looking at Ruan Yunting, he said sternly, "Think about it, what is wrong with you!"

The faces of Han Bin's family were reluctant, but they still saluted and said: "Yes."

Ruan Yunting calmed down, kowtowed and said: "Thank you for the reward and punishment, old ancestor." But she didn't say that she would not commit the crime again.Because she can't guarantee whether she will be caught when she leaves the house in the future, and she still has to earn money.

The old lady glanced at the four kneeling girls with stern eyes, and said in a toneless voice: "The slaves in this room, if they don't report what they know, they should all be sent out."

"Yes." Han Bin's family answered yes.

When the girls heard this, they burst into tears and kowtowed for mercy.

Ruan Yunting hurriedly knelt down and grabbed the hem of the old lady's clothes, crying and begging: "Old Ancestor, Ting'er knew it was wrong. This matter is my own idea. They are all serving me. There is no other way." Listen to my words, beg the ancestors to be merciful, and don't punish irrelevant people. Only punish me."

"No, it's just such an ignorant and evil slave who has exhausted the girl. The Han Bin's family, what are you doing in a daze! Let my mother come and pick up all the children, and the bought ones are handed over to Zhou's family, and they are sent out quickly."

"Please forgive me, old lady, please forgive me." Hongdou and Chanjuan kowtowed repeatedly.

Ruan Yunting kowtowed and choked up: "Ancestor, Ting'er is willing to be punished, please forgive them, you can punish me any way you want. They are all innocent, it is not easy to find a job, and I have been involved for nothing. If they go out of the mansion and have a bad reputation in the future, who else will use them? Wouldn't that cut off their way of life! The ancestors are bodhisattvas, so let them be spared."

"Old ancestor." Ruan Yunlan, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward, knelt down side by side with Ruan Yunting, and said, "I didn't let them report it to you just now. It's all my fault, and it really has nothing to do with them. Please The ancestors spared them, punish me."
