Mrs. Ran reached out and signaled her maid to put the food box on the table. She looked at Ran Min's thin clothes, and Zou Mei said with some concern, "The courtyard is windy at night, remember to wear more clothes next time you go out."

Ran Min just replied indifferently, "I understand, thank you for your concern."

Mrs. Ran seemed to not feel the coldness in Ran Min's words at all. She still opened the food box and carefully put a small bowl of sweet soup in a spoon on the table in front of Ran Min. "I heard that Xiao Cui said that you have a bad appetite. I think it was because of the heat. My aunt specially stewed your favorite lotus seed soup, so you can 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 it at night, so she felt sorry for her and advised her again: "Eat more, your body is weak, and now it's time to grow your body."

Ran Min showed an impatient look on her face, and pushed the bowl away heavily, but unexpectedly she fell under the table with too much force, making a loud "bounce" sound, which seemed 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 gaze and felt a little regretful. Xiao Cui's maid beside her looked at each other and hurried forward to clean up the ground.

Mrs. Ran looked a little and said, "Min'er, I know you have always misunderstood me, but I am also your concubine. Your mother and I have been in love with each other since childhood, and my sister is also very good to me. Think about what is the love I loved you when I was a child that was not sincere?"

Ran Min replied coldly, "It is indeed the deep sisterly love, so deep that she wants to work together as a husband."

Having said that, Ran Min's meaning was already very sarcastic. Mrs. Ran left without a miracle and tried to persuade her, "You also know that your aunt will never be able to have children in this life. Before leaving, my sister entrusts you to me, and you are my daughter. Even if you resent me and disgust me in your heart, you shouldn't be in trouble with your own body, right?"

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

Mrs. Ran suddenly became silent. She knew that Ran Min had already determined that her mother's depression and finally had nothing to do with her, her concubine. Therefore, she has been completely unfair to her over the years and is extremely cold. No matter how she does it, she will not be able to untie the knot.

In fact, after all, she was always feeling a little guilty about her sister's death. After all, her sister's depression ended up with her joining the Min family. It was precisely because her husband's love was taken away by her, her own sister that she felt even more depressed. In addition, she was disturbed by her old illness, so she died young in less than 30, leaving behind the young Ran Min.

Mrs. Ran’s real name is Dou Yi. She was born into a wealthy family with her sister Dou Lian. She had a good relationship since childhood. Later, Dou Lian was attracted by Ran Bian and became a couple. After marriage, she was very loving and respectful to each other. The couple followed her. Dou Yi was not yet married and often went to Ran’s house to chat with her sister. After a while, she became very familiar with Ran Bian’s brother-in-law.

Ran Bian was also a romantic talent when he was young. He was born in a scholarly family and grew up with a handsome talent and gentle person. He was naturally very lethal to a little girl like Dou Yi who had just started to fall in love. Over time, the two of them fell in love over 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 one husband. Therefore, although Ran Bian respected his wife very much, he did not think that there was anything wrong with putting his sister-in-law in the account. However, he did not expect that although Dou Lian was gentle and virtuous, he reacted extremely fiercely to this matter. After Dou Yi married into the Ran family, she rarely laughed and was depressed all day long. In addition, she had an old illness when she was a child, but she failed to cure her for a long time and passed away three years ago.

It is precisely because she feels guilty towards Ran Min that Mrs. Ran repeatedly accommodates Ran Min's willfulness and follows her in everything. Moreover, she cannot give birth to her due to physical problems, so she also regards Ran Min's niece as her biological daughter, and she usually pampers her and lets her do anything.

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 told Xiao Cui to pay more attention to the lady, and then she left with confidence.

Seeing Mrs. Ran walking away, Xiao Cui saw that Ran Min was in a bad mood, but smiled and posted it up, changing the topic, "Miss, are you having fun with Mr. Zhao today?"

Ran Min was indeed distracted. Seeing Xiao Cui’s smile on her face, she clearly meant to make fun of her. Don’t say angrily at her, “You ask what you do more.”

Xiao Cui smiled and said, "You are a lady and I am a maid. If the lady wants to marry, the maid will definitely have to be married. This is related to Xiao Cui's lifelong happiness, so naturally you have to ask more clearly."

Ran Min was very embarrassed and waved her fist and was about to hit her. Xiao Cui hurriedly smiled and avoided. Ran Min was both ashamed and angry, pointing at Xiao Cui and said, "If you say such shameless words again, I will ignore you in the future."

Xiao Cui was familiar with her since childhood. She was named Master and servant, but she was actually a sister. Naturally, she would not be afraid of her. After smelling it, she just smiled. She paused and said seriously, "Miss, I know you have always been arrogant and disdainful to those crazy bees and waves who came here for fame, but Mr. Zhao is different. Although I only said once to him, I felt that he was a person of the most affectionate nature. At least he was sincere in treating others. Unlike the children of the aristocratic families who were greasy and frowned, who deliberately pretended to please you, Miss."

"In terms of origin, he is a royal family member, and his family situation, his father is the inner history of the dynasty, and his mother is the legitimate daughter of the Li family of a large clan. He was even young and became the commander of the Yulin Commander with military merits. He was deeply appreciated by the Lord's father. With these conditions, he is already the first young man in Zhao State. Miss, why don't you fall in love with him?"

Ran Min was silent for a long time. In fact, Xiao Cui said that she had thought about it, but she was always inexplicably scared. After thinking for a long time, she spoke slowly. "Human hearts are the most difficult thing in the world. 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?"

"Besides, as you said, since he is so outstanding, he will definitely have many wives and concubines in the future and pursue them countless suitors. If I want me, Ran Min, share the love of my husband with others, it would be better to marry someone who has poor conditions but will only treat me wholeheartedly."

Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment and said again, "Miss, it is a very common thing for men to have three wives and four concubines. Look at the doctors and generals in the court, who are not wives and concubines, and countless maids. Even ordinary people, if they have developed and have some money, must take concubines, and even the children of other people's families will be born."

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

In terms of eloquence, Ten Xiaocui is not Ran Min's opponent. She was speechless by Ran Min's words. She was still a little unwilling to give up and said, "But Miss, women are going to find a home after all. I'm afraid that you will miss Mr. Zhao, and no one with such good conditions will appear in the future."

"It's okay." Ran Min turned around and said lightly to Xiao Cui: "At worst, I just don't marry. Why do I have to commit myself to someone I don't like?"

Xiao Cui was shocked when she heard this and said, "Miss, don't joke, how can a woman not get married?"

"Why can't women not marry?" Ran Min retorted; "Who stipulates that women must rely on men to survive, and it's not the same to rely on themselves."

Although the master and servant have been used to the idea of ​​being a fool of themselves for many years, in Xiao Cui's opinion, Ran Min's words are still undoubtedly incredible. She knew that Ran Min seemed weak and was indeed strong and tight, so she could not convince her, so she stopped persuading her.

After walking around for a day, Ran Min was a little tired, so she washed up and went to bed.
