MTL - Make You Happy-Chapter 2 God's mercy
Chapter 2 God's Mercy
Although the vernal equinox has passed for some days, the sky is still a little chilly.
In a courtyard in the capital of Ningguo, by a pool with rippling clear water, a girl in a thin shirt was lying under a vine with her eyes closed, feigning sleep.
A little servant girl tiptoed over to the girl, and was about to cover her body with the thin blanket in her hand. But the other party suddenly opened his eyes, and the eyes were clear, not like someone who just woke up.
「Miss? Are you awake?」
Ruan Youqing sat up slowly, took the thin blanket from the little maid's hand and covered her lap, and then replied lazily: "I just had a nightmare, and I didn't sleep well."
That nightmare... nearly haunted the ten years since her rebirth.
God was merciful, after the dagger stabbed her heart, she woke up again.
Just woke up when she was six years old...
The little maid Fan'er continued to speak slowly: "Before I came, I heard the servant in the front yard say that the old general has returned from the palace."
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Ruan Youqing raised his feet and ran to the front yard.
I saw that her body was as swift as a gust of wind, and she didn't look like the rumor that she couldn't lift her shoulders and resist, and could be blown down by a gust of wind.
…
The old general Ruan Chong with gray temples just picked up the tea in his hand when a figure barged in from outside the door.
Although it is seventy years old, Ruan Chong's fierce and domineering eyebrows are still as fierce and domineering as when he bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield. However, after the beautiful figure stood firm in front of him, the sharpness in Ruan Chong's eyes was immediately dispelled by gentleness.
"My family is awake?" Ruan Chong looked at Ruan Youqing lovingly.
Grandfather always likes to call her what.
Every time she sees her grandfather who is still alive, Ruan Youqing's heart is filled with the sourness of regaining what has been lost.
Shrugging the tip of her nose, she walked behind Ruan Chong, reaching out to beat Ruan Chong's shoulders.
"Grandfather was suddenly called into the palace by the emperor, how could Youqing sleep soundly."
As soon as the words fell, Ruan Chong patted Ruan Youqing's hand with a look of relief, and said, "My family has grown up, and we all know that we are starting to worry about grandfather. Little girl, don't think too much, the emperor treats our family as usual. Take it seriously, nothing will happen easily."
"Father, mother, and older brothers and sisters are guarding the frontier. What excuses are you saying that you, grandfather, are old and need to recuperate in the capital. You want us to guard the country for them, but you are also afraid of us..."
Ruan Youqing recalled the events of his previous life, and his tone couldn't help being a little cold. And Ruan Chong's complex expression stopped her from continuing: "Hey, some things are not what you see and hear. You just need to know that our Ruan family has been loyal ministers for generations, and the emperor, he is a wise king."
"Youqing understands that no matter what others do, we have nothing to be ashamed of." Seeing her grandfather trusting them so much, although she felt miserable, she obediently complied.
I can't tell my grandfather that the Mingjun he was protecting was killed by his own son because of his blindness, and his "good son"...had ruined their Ruan family!
The dimness in Ruan Youqing's eyes was naturally seen by Ruan Chong, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Ruan Youqing saw the pity in his grandfather's eyes, and knew that he was caring for her again. In order to prevent her grandfather from saying those words that made her feel numb, Ruan Youqing hurriedly brought the conversation back to the beginning: "Why did the emperor call you into the palace?"
Ruan Chong touched his chin, with a meaningless expression on his face: "It's nothing, the emperor wants to marry you and the prince."
"What? Marriage? With the prince?" Ruan Youqing's face turned as white as a sheet of paper.
At this time in the previous life, the emperor did marry her and the prince. But... that was at her begging.
She has never been in contact with Li Yi in this life, why...won't she marry him suddenly?
Seeing that the precious granddaughter lost her composure, Ruan Chong stretched out his hand to touch her head, and said hastily, "Be good, don't panic, your grandfather rejected you." As he spoke, Ruan Chong puffed out his chest proudly, his eyes closed. It's hard to imagine how ruthless he is on the battlefield when he looks like he is waiting for praise.
At this time, Ruan Youqing didn't care about other things, resisted the doubts in his heart, and asked with some worry: "You directly refused...the emperor didn't blame you, did he?"
Ruan Chong grinned: "Your grandfather is such a reckless person? Naturally, I went to invite the Queen Mother to persuade the Emperor to withdraw his will."
Thinking about the extraordinary "worship" relationship between the queen mother and grandfather, Ruan Youqing felt full of emotions.
The queen mother is the best person in the royal family to their family, but because her old man was dissatisfied with Li Yi's style of work, she finally ended up as an ancient Buddha.
Seeing Ruan Youqing drooping his eyes and saying nothing, Ruan Chongqing coughed and continued: "By the way, in a few days, there may be a surprise for you."
"Eh?" Ruan Youqing was obviously very surprised that his grandfather wanted to surprise her. Although what curiosity is, it is meaningless to say something like surprise, so she wisely didn't ask, but rubbed the old man's shoulders harder.
After chatting with the grandfather and grandson for a while, Ruan Youqing saw that his grandfather looked tired, so Ruan Youqing let him rest well and went back to the other hospital by himself.
…
Before entering the room, the fan came out head-on.
"Miss, do you want to go out today?"
Ruan Youqing straightened his expression, and asked as he walked, "Grandfather is resting, so it's okay to go out for a while. Over there... what's important these two days?"
"all the best."
"Let's not go today for the time being. Going frequently will easily attract grandfather's attention. If grandpa finds out, then my hard work over the years will be in vain." Ruan Youqing lazily rubbed the space between his brows.
After her rebirth, she began to prepare for her own power.
I can no longer rely on my family for everything as in my previous life.
Since God favored her and allowed her to be reborn with memories...then she must cherish it, and in this life, she must protect her family!
Fan'er looked at Ruan Youqing who was in a daze with some doubts, and softly called Miss.
Ruan Youqing came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and pinched Fan'er's soft face, raised the corners of his lips and said, "We can take a sneak walk to the market."
…
The spring breeze was blowing green, and two petite figures were moving swiftly in the alley of the official house, one in front and the other in the back.
"I don't know if the golden lotus opal Buyao I saw last time is still there. If it is, I will buy it and give it to my mother." Ruan Youqing rubbed his hands, smiling and talking to the fan behind him.
These two figures are Ruan Youqing and Fan Er who just left the mansion. Because they sneaked out, the master and servant did not take a carriage when they went out. Fortunately, the busiest market was only two streets away from Ruan Mansion. Ruan Youqing didn't like bumpy carriages, so he avoided the protection sent by his grandfather After a few of her guards, she ran out with a fan.
"Miss, please slow down! Fan... Fan is going to be unable to keep up!" Fan took a deep breath and cried out bitterly.
Ruan Youqing narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Let you be lazy on weekdays."
Fan'er seemed to be recalling something terrible, and trotted before arriving in front of his young lady, tremblingly grabbing her sleeve, and said: "Miss, the old general... that time was really terrible! Normally, He loves and pampers you in every possible way. But now...he treats you like a different person."
Ruan Youqing listened, just smiled, but didn't say much.
She understood what her grandfather was thinking about her.
Just like the previous life, the royal family reused them, but guarded against them. Grandfather is old, and although she is a daughter, she is still a member of the Ruan family.
To the outside world, she said she was weak and sick, so that some people would feel at ease.
In her previous life, she didn't know how to restrain her edge.
To live a new life, she always needs to have a longer memory.
Frail and sickly...then be weak and sickly.
