Chapter 126 Daughter's Mind

Mrs. Ran stretched out her hand and motioned her maidservant to put the food box on the table. Looking at Ran Min's thin clothes, Zou Mei was a little worried and said, "It's windy in the courtyard at night. Remember to wear more clothes next time you go out."

Ran Min just replied faintly, "I know, thank you for your concern."

Mrs. Ran didn't seem to feel the indifference in Ran Min's words at all. She still opened the food box and carefully put a small bowl of sweet soup on the table in front of Ran Min with a spoon. "I heard from Xiao Cui that you have a bad appetite, and I think it's the heat. My aunt specially stewed your favorite lotus seed soup. Drink it while it's hot.

Ran Min just shook her head, gently pushed away the soup bowl, and said, "I appreciate my aunt's kindness, but I'm really not hungry."

Mrs. Ran didn't know that Ran Min had used the night. She felt distressed and advised her, "Eat more or less. You are already weak, and now it's time to grow up."

Ran Min's face showed an impatient look and pushed the bowl away heavily, but unexpectedly fell under the table with too much force, making a loud "jumping" sound, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

Mrs. Ran's hand stopped in the air, and her face suddenly became very ugly. Ran Min avoided her eyes and secretly regretted it. The maidservant Xiao Cui beside her looked at each other and quickly came forward to clean up the ground.

Mrs. Ran looked a little sad and said, "Min'er, I know you have always misunderstood me in your heart, but I'm also your own aunt. You and your mother have been deeply in love with each other since childhood, and my sister is also very good to me. Think about my love for you when I was a child, what is not out of sincerity?"

Ran Min replied coldly, "It's really sisterly, so affectionate that you want to work together."

At this point, the meaning of Ran Min's words is already very bitter. Mrs. Ran was not angry and left. She still tried to persuade her, "You also know that your aunt can't have children in her life. My sister entrusted you to me before she left, and you are my daughter. Even if you hate me and hate me in your heart, you shouldn't have trouble with your own body, right?

Ran Min replied coldly, "Auntie, you are so careful. You have been very good to me. You are a good wife and mother. No one outsider praises you for being gentle, dignified and good at home. Even the genealogies say that you are much better than my mother. How can I complain about you?

Mrs. Ran suddenly fell silent. She knew that Ran Min knew that she had identified her mother's depression and finally had nothing to do with her mother-in-law, so she had been colored and extremely indifferent to her over the years. No matter what she did, she couldn't solve the knot.

In fact, in the end, she has always felt a little guilty about her sister's death. After all, her sister's depression has something to do with her joining the Min family. It was because her husband's love was taken away by her own sister that she became more and more depressed. Coupled with the old diseases, she died young in her early age in her thirties, leaving the young Ran Min.

Mrs. Ran's real name is Dou Yi. She and her sister Dou Lian came from a small family and had a good relationship since she was a child. Later, Dou Lian was identified by Ran and became a husband and wife. After marriage, he also loved each other and always respected each other like a guest, and his husband and wife followed him. Dou Yi had not yet left the cabinet at that time. He often went to Ran's house to chat with his sister. He also became very familiar with Ran Ben's brother-in-law.

Ran Xuan was also a romantic talent when he was young. He was born in a scholarly family, and he was also a talented and polite person. Naturally, he was very lethal to a little girl like Dou Yi. Over time, the two of them also fell in love with each other for a long time.

In that era, it was very common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and it was not uncommon for sisters to serve a husband together. Therefore, although Ran Ben loves his wife very much, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with adding his sister-in-law to the account. However, she didn't expect that although Dou Lian was gentle and virtuous, she reacted extremely fiercely to this matter. After Dou Yi married into the Ran family, she rarely smiled and was depressed all day long. In addition, she had an old disease when she was a child, and she was incurable for a long time and died three years ago.

It was precisely because she apologized to Ran Min that Mrs. Ran accommodated Ran Min's waywardness again and again, and everything followed her. Moreover, she couldn't have children because of her physical problems, so she also regarded Ran Min, a niece, as her own daughter. She usually spoiled her in every way and let her fool around.

So Mrs. Ran just sighed and was not angry. Seeing that Ran Min was in a bad mood and knew that it was not appropriate to talk to her at this time, she ordered Xiao Cuiduo to pay attention to the young lady, and then left at ease.

Seeing Mrs. Ran go far away, Xiao Cui saw that Ran Min was in a bad mood, so she smiled and posted it and changed the topic: "Miss, can you have fun with Mr. Zhao today?"

Ran Min was really distracted. Seeing Xiao Cui's smile on her face, he clearly meant to make fun of him. Don't let her say angrily; "Why do you ask so many questions?"

Xiao Cui smiled and said, "You are the young lady and I am the maid. If the young lady wants to get married, the maid will definitely dowry. This is related to Xiao Cui's lifelong happiness. Naturally, she needs to ask more clearly."

Ran Min was so ashamed that she waved her fist and was about to hit. Xiao Cui quickly smiled and dodged. Ran Min was shy and angry, and pointed to Xiao Cui and said, "If you say such shameless words again, I won't care about you in the future."

Xiao Cui has been familiar with her since she was a child. She is known as a master servant and is actually a sister. Naturally, she will not be afraid of her. After smelling it, she just smiled. After a pause, he said seriously, "Miss, I know that you have always been arrogant and disdain those wild bees and butterflies, but Mr. Zhao is different. Although I have only talked to him once, I feel that he is an affectionate person. At least he treats people sincerely, unlike those greasy children who deliberately put on airs to please you.

"In terms of origin, he is a royal family member. In terms of family power, his father is the internal history of the dynasty, and his mother is the direct daughter of the Li family. He himself became a lieutenant of Yulin at a young age with military merit and was deeply appreciated by his father. With these conditions, he is already the first person among the young people in my State of Zhao. Why don't you fall in love with him, Miss?

Ran Min was silent for a long time. In fact, what Xiao Cui said was not that she had not thought about it, but she was always inexplicably afraid. After thinking for a long time, he opened his mouth and said slowly, "The human heart is the most difficult thing in the world to figure out. We have only known Zhao Xin for a few days. Most of our understanding of him is from hearsay. How can we know his nature?"

"What's more, as you said, since he is so excellent, he will inevitably have a group of wives and concubines and countless suitors in the future. If I want Ran Min to share my husband's love with others, it's better to marry someone who has poor conditions but will only be dedicated to me.

Xiao Cui was stunned and said, "Miss, a man's three wives and four concubines are ordinary things. Look at the generals of the whole dynasty, which one is not a group of wives and concubines and countless maidservants. Even ordinary people, if they are developed and have a little money, they will definitely take concubines and other people's children.

Ran Min just shook her head and said, "Others are others, but I just want my husband to treat me wholeheartedly. Isn't it enough for me to fall in love with others so greedily?"

In terms of eloquence, ten Xiao Cui are not Ran Min's opponents. At present, she is speechless by Ran Min's words. I was still a little unwilling and said, "But young lady, women have to find a home after all. I'm afraid that you will miss Mr. Zhao, and there will be no one with such good conditions in the future."

"It doesn't matter." Ran Min turned around and turned her back to Xiao Cui and said faintly, "At worst, I just won't get married. Why do I have to surrender to someone I don't like?"

Xiao Cui was shocked when she heard the words and said, "Miss, don't laugh. How can a woman not get married?"

"Why can't a woman not get married?" Ran Min retorted and said, "Who stipulates that women must rely on men to survive? It's not the same to rely on themselves."

Although the master and servant have been used to the young lady's imaginative ideas for many years, in Xiao Cui's opinion, Ran Min's words are undoubtedly unimaginable. She knew that Ran Min seemed to be weak, and her heart was really strong and tight. She couldn't convince her, so she stopped persuading her.

After walking around for a day, Ran Min was also a little tired. After hastily washing up, she went to bed.

Lying on ** Ran Min, she was not sleepy at all. Wang Shang, who opened his eyes and straight eyes in the dark, couldn't help thinking of Zhao Xin's bad smile. I couldn't help feeling a little depressed, so I had to force myself not to think about it, but I was not sleepy at all. It was not until the dawn that he fell asleep drowsily.
