Chapter 266 Analysis
"Sister, sister, something bad has happened! Myna is back. I just saw him taking people directly to the ancestral hall." Ruan Shikang trotted into Ruan Qingqing's room.
Ruan Qingqing immediately ended the conversation with Yue Linlang.
"Just come back if you want! Why are you in such a hurry?" Ruan Qingqing looked at him with amusement.
"Oh!" Ruan Shikang stamped his feet on the ground, "What if he goes to the ancestral hall to save Third Aunt? Third Aunt is really something, she is not afraid of biting her tongue when making such vicious rumors. If we don't teach her a lesson this time, who knows what she will do in the future! Our eldest brother is really something, returning to Jialing Pass so early, if he had stayed at home for a few more days, even if my brother came back today, Third Aunt would not be spared from punishment!"
Ruan Qingqing rubbed his head, "Little guy, you worry about so many things! Don't worry! Myna is not a person who can't tell good from bad. He will give you, my elder sister, justice. Even if Myna stops the clan from punishing Third Aunt, I, your elder sister, have plenty of ways to make First Aunt never dare to say bad things about us again!"
"That's better! No, I also want to go to the ancestral hall to take a look. Big sister, I will give you the first-hand information then!" Before he finished speaking, the person ran away.
"Master, the weather is getting warmer, so let's set off early tomorrow! The carrier pigeon letter that Master Ge gave me told you to go back as soon as possible, as he is afraid that something unusual has occurred within the Mo Sect." Yue Linlang continued the previous topic after seeing that Ruan Shikang had already gone far away.
"Well, let's set off tomorrow morning!" Ruan Qingqing nodded.
"Master, don't you want to go to the ancestral hall to check out the situation?" Yue Linlang asked.
"No, I just need to know the result. My time and energy should not be wasted on this. Aren't the affairs of the Three Cities and the Mo Sect enough for me to worry about?"
Yue Linlang wanted to say something unconvinced, but when she saw her master bending over the desk writing and drawing, she immediately swallowed her words.
Ruan Qingqing really had something to do, she had to find a way to develop the three cities as soon as possible. Although the Zhou family was in power in Yunqing, she could not bring many days of peace to the three cities unless Zhou Zheng took over.
Before, they only wanted to support Zhou Zheng to take the throne, but they didn't expect that the one who took the throne in the end would be his father, which deviated from their expectations.
But Ruan Qingqing knew that if they wanted to have a long-lasting peace, it was more important to make their own power strong enough to deter the nine countries. In this way, the disciples of the Mo Sect could not just stay in the three cities, but had to expand their sphere of influence.
While she was thinking about how to expand, Ruan Shikang came back in a hurry, and with him came Ruan Wantie and his wife, as well as Ruan Susu.
"Sister, Third Auntie hit her head against the pillar in the ancestral hall and bled a lot!"
Perhaps because he had never seen such a scene before, his face turned a little pale and his voice sounded tearful.
Ruan Qingqing paused with the pen in her hand, "Is anyone okay?"
"I don't know. My brother asked someone to call a doctor. Sister, will my third aunt die?" Ruan Shikang asked with lingering fear.
"It's hard to say." Ruan Qingqing frowned, "How did it develop to the point of hitting the pillar? Didn't the starling stop it?"
"It was Myna who started to say that he would cut off one of his hands to atone for Third Aunt's sins, but was stopped by Third Aunt. In the end, she went to hit her head against the pillar, saying that everyone has the responsibility for their own actions, and Myna tried to stop her but failed." Ruan Shikang kept patting his chest.
"This... I'll go take a look!" Ruan Qingqing put down the pen in her hand and stood up. "By the way, where is Grandma Jiu? How did she deal with it later?"
"Grandma Nine was so scared that she went crazy on the spot..." Ruan Shikang glanced at Ruan Qingqing and stammered.
"Yes." Ruan Qingqing nodded, "I'll go to the old house first to check the situation."
When Ruan Qingqing arrived at the old house, she happened to see Ruan Wangang seeing off Doctor Li.
"Uncle San, how is Aunt San doing? Is she out of danger?"
"It's okay, the person has woken up. But he lost a lot of blood, it looks serious." Ruan Wangang sighed.
"Is it convenient for me to come in and visit?" Ruan Qingqing asked.
"What's the inconvenience for our family? Come in!"
When Ruan Qingqing came in, Ruan Shifu saw her first and called her "Third sister" in a hoarse voice.
"My dear brother, Third Aunt, because I am leaving tomorrow and time is urgent, I am here to tell you a few words from my heart. Before, Third Aunt asked me to find an official position for my twelfth brother in my jurisdiction, but I refused. At that time, I was afraid that it would scare you, Third Aunt, and I was also worried that you would not understand, so I refused directly. I refused on the grounds that my twelfth brother was not suitable and it would be difficult to manage if I forced him to do so without authorization.
I thought Third Auntie would be upset, but she would be fine in a few days. I didn't expect you to make up rumors and slander me, and finally cause these things. I'm going to talk to you about it today, and it just so happens that Bage is here too. There are some things you don't understand, but Bage understands.
Although I am in charge of three cities, it seems very glorious, but those three cities do not belong to any country. What is the concept? If my twelfth brother goes to my place to be an official, Yunqing can sentence him to treason if he cares. And once he becomes an official in my place, he can never come back to Yunqing in his life. Even if he comes back, he can only come back as an outsider or even a tourist, and cannot live there permanently.
If Yunqing and I come into conflict in the future, and Brother Twelve doesn't want to stay with me, then he will really be at a dead end. Can I agree to this?
Besides, what would the common people in Yunqing State do if they slandered and spread rumors about officials? Cut off their tongues! That's why Bage used his hand to atone for your sin. But I'm not your official, I'm the lord of Sancheng. If you slander and spread rumors about the emperor, you will be killed. If I really want to make a fuss with you, I will kill you directly, and no one can say anything wrong!
But I don't want to do this, because you are my third aunt, my relative, and my relative who has been through hardships together. You have the courage to hit the pillar, which means there is still hope, so I will say a few more words to you. Let's leave it at that for this time! I hope you will take care of yourself in the future!"
After saying that, Ruan Qingqing turned and left.
"Qingqing, this time it's Third Aunt's temper that got out of control. I'm sorry!" Li shouted.
"I heard it." Ruan Qingqing didn't look back, just paused for a moment and continued to walk out.
"Third sister!" Ruan Shifu chased her out and caught up with her all the way to the door.
"Third sister, I know you're having a hard time out there. The reason I came back early this time is because I heard you were back and wanted to chat with you."
Ruan Qingqing turned around and smiled at him, "Although the way we met again was a little unsatisfactory, I am proud of Bage from the bottom of my heart!"
"I have to thank you, Third Sister! If you need anything in the future, just tell Bahia. Bahia will always be your solid backing!" Ruan Shifu promised, patting his chest.
