Chapter 209: benefactor
Chapter 209 Benefactor
The second day after Ruan Ye and his son came back was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Ruan Youqing and Ruan Youning woke up early again this morning, planning to go out with a few maids to buy some things for the festival.
But this time, Zhao Di actually offered to go with her.
Because it was not an excessive request, Ruan Youqing and the others naturally had no choice but to agree.
"Youqing, I heard that the dim sum in Ruifuxuan in the capital is the best. Why don't we go there directly to see if there are delicious mooncakes and preserves."
Ruan Youning said excitedly, and Ruan Youqing smiled back at her gently: "Let's go wherever Sister wants to go."
「You dote on me like a younger sister.」
Ruan Youqing listened, but just smiled and said nothing.
Zhaodi, who saw everything in her eyes, lowered her head and followed behind the two obediently.
Although she came out this time begging to be together, but after she came out, she returned to the timid look before.
After coming out of Ruifuxuan, Ruan Youning and Ruan Youqing were chatting vigorously. Therefore, the two didn't notice... Zhaodi who suddenly separated from them.
It wasn't until she was about to go back home that Ruan Youning realized that a little tail was missing.
"Where is Zhaodi?"
Ruan Youning looked at Ruan Youqing in panic, Ruan Youqing also had a dignified expression, and frowned slightly: "Just now we only cared about talking...it was..."
Before he finished speaking, Ruan Youning turned to look for her.
Seeing this, Ruan Youqing naturally hurried to follow.
"Sister, don't worry, we didn't go to other places when we came out of Ruifuxuan. There are only three trails on the road from Ruifuxuan to our mansion. We should find it in time."
Ruan Youqing comforted her gently, but in her heart... there were other considerations.
She and her elder sister are both martial arts practitioners, and their hearing is very good. If there is any movement, it is impossible for them to know nothing.
And this little girl disappeared without a sound...
It's kind of weird...
Ruan Youning pursed her lips tightly, and grasped Ruan Youqing's hand with a little force, as if Ruan Youqing was her life-saving straw at this time.
「Youqing...I...I can't let her have an accident...She is also my sister...If something happens to her...I...I'm sorry for that person..."
She was talking about Fu Zhi, of course. Since Fu Zhi came to Ruan's Mansion, although Ruan Youning gradually accepted Zhaodi and Debao, she always wanted to avoid Fu Zhi habitually when facing Fu Zhi.
Therefore, she never called each other mother.
Ruan Youqing saw that Ruan Youning was really panicked. After sighing, the two of them grabbed her tightly and started looking for someone along the same road.
But the two of them didn't take a few steps, Ruan Youqing saw two figures, one big and one small, coming towards them.
It's just that one is trotting, and the other seems to be limping.
When they got closer, Ruan Youqing could confirm that one of them was Zhaodi.
"You girl, why are you running around? You can't scare me to death!" Ruan Youning pulled her over without saying a word. Although she was scolding, her face was full of worry.
With red eyes, Zhaodi pointed behind her, her voice was trembling like a kitten's, "Sister Youning... Just now... It was this... uncle who saved me. Otherwise... Zhaodi might... lose her innocence it's..."
Ruan Youqing listened, then raised his eyes to look at the man Zhao Di pointed at.
Dressed in a coarse cloth jacket, with dark skin and good looks, he seems to be a good person.
Just…
Ruan Youqing smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle, for helping our little sister."
Ruan Youning on the side also came over, and said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle! You are our benefactor!"
The man scratched his head and smiled, his voice was a little hoarse: "Seeing the road is rough, draw your sword to help! Just now I saw this little girl was bullied by a few hooligans in an alley. As a man, I naturally want to help her."
alley? Hooligans?
Ruan Youqing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Zhaodi with deep meaning in his eyes and said, "Zhaodi, you're so good, why... you suddenly ran into an alley?"
Zhaodi rubbed her little hands uneasily, and said cautiously: "I... I heard a puppy barking miserable in the alley... So I wanted to see what happened..."
It is a reason to say the past.
At this time, Ruan Youning looked at the man with inconvenient legs and said, "I don't know the uncle's name? Where does he live? We will send someone to take you back later. And uncle, if you want to thank you, just say it, as long as... as long as I can do it."
The man smiled a little embarrassedly: "My name is Zhao Gao, but...I am not from the capital. I just came here today and wanted to find a place to do a part-time job. As for the place to live...I...haven't found one yet. place... But this lady, you don’t need to give me any thanks. I save people because of my conscience, not for gain.”
「Just came to the capital?」
「Yes... If Miss knows any places that are recruiting part-time workers, can you introduce me there?」
Ruan Youning listened, pondered for a moment, and said, "If uncle doesn't dislike it, why not come to our house? We happen to be short of people in our house. Uncle, you saved our little sister. We must repay uncle. Right now, uncle may be the most in need. This is the place to live." Ruan Youning said solemnly.
The man named Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, and then he said embarrassedly: "Is...is this okay? If the ladies are in trouble, there is no need to bother! After all, I can help this little girl with a little effort."
「No trouble no trouble, our mansion is nearby!」
「Then...thank you ladies!」
At this time, Ruan Youqing didn't ask any more questions, but just watched with a faint smile.
It wasn't that she lowered her vigilance.
But at this time, she just wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.
Because she didn't miss it, when Ruan Youning asked him to go back home with him, the man's and Zhaodi's eyes intertwined.
Although he didn't stop, Ruan Youqing still felt very keenly that these two people must know each other.
After Zhao Gao returned home with Sister Ruan Youqing, Ruan Youning immediately eagerly sought someone to arrange his residence and work.
Ruan Youqing looked at Zhaodi who had been drooping and saying nothing, and said softly, "Zhaodi, you go and take this uncle for a stroll around the house first."
Zhaodi nodded in agreement.
Looking at the backs of the two who were far apart, Ruan Youqing slightly raised the corners of his lips.
Fan Er gently rubbed her shoulders, and said curiously: "Miss, how can you rest assured that a person of unknown origin will come to our house?"
Ruan Youqing narrowed his eyes, and slowly replied: "The origin may not be clear, but it is possible to have ulterior motives."
"what do you mean…"
"Go and investigate Fu Zhi to see if her husband has passed away for real or a fake death. I wanted to see them in peace and order, so I didn't want to investigate prematurely. But now it seems that the more calm the situation, the more The undercurrents below are even more difficult to ignore."
"yes."
On the other side, Zhao Di took Zhao Gao to the gate of a small courtyard. At this time, she still looked timid, but when she looked at Zhao Gao, she had some other emotions.
「This is... This is where I live with my brother and mother.」
"You guys are having a good time."
Zhao Gao smiled, but he was different now.
The man's face... was full of violence.
