Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 429 - 350: Yet Before Long, Yun Xiu Unexpectedly Returned on His Own

But Ruan Mian pressed down on her hand, feeling her kindness, how could she bear to leave her behind?

"It’s okay, no one knows I took you with me, apart from you, no one else knows I went to the master’s study, you won’t tell anyone, right?"

The maid quickly nodded, "Of course not! Don’t worry, miss."

Ruan Mian felt a bit sorry for her, her frail body had fainted before due to malnutrition and overwork, and now she was standing up for her.

With this in mind, Ruan Mian told her to rest well here and leave tomorrow at the latest.

Outside was chaotic, no one could manage anyone else.

The little maid initially wanted to leave, but couldn’t refuse Ruan Mian, and she directly locked the door, leaving her no choice but to stay temporarily.

Ruan Mian said she would go to the small kitchen to find some food, but in fact, she took some dried goods from her space, simply stir-fried some preserved meat, and cooked a lean meat egg soup to bring to her. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The little maid was stunned seeing so much delicious food, her eyes immediately filled with warmth, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.

Later, after Ruan Mian inquired, she learned that while living here, she usually only had vegetable leaf soup, almost no meat or fish.

Forget about meat, they didn’t even have eggs.

Seduced by the fragrance of the food, she couldn’t resist and began to gobble it down.

Who knows how long she had been starving.

"Take it slow, if this isn’t enough, I can bring you some more."

The little maid was sobbing and swallowing at the same time, feeling immensely grateful to Ruan Mian.

Not in a hurry to talk to her, while the maid was eating, Ruan Mian went to the side and wrote a letter.

Once she finished her meal, Ruan Mian asked her: "Are you full?"

The maid was about to speak but couldn’t help but burp, blushing in embarrassment and lowering her head, "Sorry... sorry miss, I ate too much."

Ruan Mian smiled, "What’s your name?"

"My name is Hong Ni, I’m the master’s cleaning girl, just turned fifteen this year, sold into the mansion eight years ago."

Ruan Mian didn’t expect her to quickly recount her family’s background, she smiled slightly then asked.

"You entered the mansion quite early, you must know some things about your mistress and the master?"

Seeing her stunned, Ruan Mian reassured her, "I am the guest your master invited, worried that the mistress might misunderstand, so I want to know some things about the mistress and the master. If an accident happens, I can have a way to respond."

No matter what Ruan Mian said, the little maid had great trust in her.

Without hesitation, she honestly told her, "I don’t know much, just that the master and mistress don’t get along well, they quarrel every day. The master even said not to let the mistress into the study, but... but I don’t know why the mistress came today."

"Maybe the mistress knew the master went out for drinks and felt upset, so she came here to vent. And all the maids around the master have been beaten by the mistress, yet... yet it doesn’t stop the master from bringing new maids every month."

Ruan Mian noticed a lot of bruises and wounds on her, and realized life here must be very hard.

Especially under Qin Fu’s oppression and the mistress’s unreasonable behavior.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mian took out some broken silver from her purse. Hong Ni realized what she was doing and quickly waved her hands, "Miss! How can I accept this? I’ve already received your medicine, I’m very grateful!"

Ruan Mian simply said, "When I was your age, I also faced despair and hardship, hoping someday a good person would descend from the sky to take me out of this predicament."

"But I didn’t have that, I struggled until the brink of death before meeting someone noble who gave me a second chance."

"Hong Ni, meeting you is fate, in this residence, your status is low, this small amount of silver is not much to me, just use it to buy some good food, take care of yourself, maybe when you leave this mansion, you’ll have better days ahead?"

Recalling the original owner’s past experiences, wasn’t it also tragic?

Before I came through, the original owner suffered greatly at the Qi Family, she had no one to rely on, didn’t dare return to her family, felt inferior, timid, until her death.

So, Ruan Mian took what she could do as a way to redeem the original owner, to accumulate merit for her.

Hong Ni could not refuse any longer, and deeply bowed her head to Ruan Mian.

Ruan Mian helped her up, "You can return to where you live tomorrow, hide this little broken silver well. In a few days, something will definitely happen at the Qin Mansion. If you can protect yourself and leave, and have nowhere to go, you can head to Wuheng City, and find Ruan Family people in a place called Jinsha Village."
