C10 Need Help

Madam Meng had always been a person who knew how to behave. Although Madam Meng did not say that she was close with Ruan Ping'er, the other girls in Su Family would definitely not be short of Ruan Ping'er. She only asked Old Lady Hee this question to back Su Mingyue up.

Ruan Ping'er had her own home, yet she was staying at Jingan Marquis Mansion and didn't leave. That was fine, but she was snatching the limelight from Miss Su Family everywhere. Who would like a girl like this?

Madam Meng had originally thought that since Su Mingyue was the direct descendent of Marquis Mansion, Ruan Ping'er naturally couldn't compare to her. However, she would follow Su Minglan and Su Mingzhu's example and get Ruan Ping'er a set of clothes and accessories so that she could attend the Hundred Blossom Banquet in a proper manner. However, this girl dared to apply medicine in front of the old granny, so don't blame her for being impolite.

Just look at Madam Meng's words, do you want to help arrange a set? Her tone was light, as if she was sending away a relative who had come to take revenge on the autumn wind.

If Madam Meng had not said so, she would have arranged clothes and accessories for Ruan Ping'er and let her go to the Hundred Blossom Banquet in a glorious manner. However, if she had said so, that would be a completely different matter as she was after all, the young miss of the Censor.

If word of this were to spread, Ruan Ping'er's status would be even lower. After all, who would be willing to marry a girl who could not even afford clothes and accessories?

If Ruan Ping'er's parents were not in the capital, then it would be alright. However, Ruan Ping'er's parents were sitting inside the Imperial Censor' Mansion, so what if their daughter was in Uncle's house? Moreover, Jing'an's Marquis Mansion was not controlled by Ruan Ping'er's direct relatives.

Just as Old Lady Hee was about to lose her temper, Ruan Ping'er spoke up first, "Second aunt, what are you saying? Ping'er's parents are already here, how can I trouble second aunt to arrange clothes and jewelry for her? My mother has prepared these long ago."

Ruan Ping'er definitely could not make the slightest mistake in this matter. She was relying on Jing'an's Marquis Mansion to slowly climb up, but she would never forever allow others to see her as a poor relative of Jing'an's Marquis Mansion.

She was the young miss of the Shangguan family, and had the qualifications to marry into a reputable family or even an imperial family.

"That's good. Since the nun has prepared it, I will just prepare it for the three girls." Madam Meng laughed.

No one liked the girls who stayed at other homes. The Imperial Censor' Mansion and the Jing'an Marquis Mansion were not far away, but Ruan Ping'er's father had come to pick her up a few times, so Ruan Ping'er was unwilling to go back.

Not only did he covet the riches of Marquis Mansion, he even had to put on an act to win his favor.

The smile on Ruan Ping'er's face was still as bright as ever, but it didn't look that comfortable anymore. "Sorry for the trouble, second aunt. I'll be fine with being with my sisters when the time comes."

"Naturally." Madam Meng also smiled politely.

"Second sister in law, please don't forget my Minglan." Madam Liu reminded Madam Liu. Although her relationship with Su Minglan wasn't that good and she might even think that this concubine was a bit of an eyesore, she was Su Minglan's mother after all. She had to be more concerned about her, even if this was just for outsiders to see.

"That's only natural. There are only three girls in my house, I'm sure no one will be able to pull them away. At that time, just let Minglan come to my room with Mingyue and the others to pick out the items." After all, Su Minglan was still the daughter of Su Family, so she would naturally not be negligent. Furthermore, even if Su Minglan was an eyesore, it would still hinder others, so why would she bother being such an evil person.

Madam Liu merely snorted and didn't have much respect for this sister-in-law. She was clearly Su Family's daughter-in-law, why was it that when Madam Wang left, Madam Meng would take charge of the family? Could it be that it was because Su Hee was a few years older than Su Han?

But in Old Lady Hee's opinion, there were only a few people in the room who were not in the way, except for Ruan Ping'er. Even Madam Liu was not at ease, and kept the men from having sons, so she waved them off.

Since there was nothing to say, they bowed and left, allowing Old Lady Hee to speak to her precious granddaughter in private.

"Sofia, don't worry, they won't get you any clothes and accessories. Grandmother will buy them for you, so you must attend the Hundred Blossom Banquet in high spirits." Old Lady Hee patted Ruan Ping'er's hand comfortingly.

Although Old Lady Hee didn't have the title of Madam Hou, she had been a madame for so many years. Naturally, she had a lot of responsibilities, so it wasn't a problem for her to elegantly get Ruan Ping'er a set of clothes and accessories.

"But, sisters …" Ruan Ping'er looked a little hesitant.

"Don't worry about them. Someone will worry about them." Old Lady Hee's expression did not change. She had given Ping'er things, did they dare to have any objections?

Although Su Minglan said she was his granddaughter, she didn't really like her. He would just give her something when the time came. As for Su Mingyue and Su Mingzhu, they had nothing to do with him, so why would she care about them?

"Grandmother loves Ping'er the most." Ruan Ping'er put her head in Old Lady Hee's arms and smiled.
