Chapter 32: "A Loving Mother"
For a short period of time, the mother and daughter were speechless, and the atmosphere was silent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When they arrived at Yiliu Courtyard, Shen not only did not leave, but insisted on sending Gu Wanning into the boudoir. And he commanded the maids to stand down. Apparently there was something to say to her.
Gu Wanning watched coldly and quietly.
When only their mother and daughter were left in the room, Shen opened his mouth with concern and asked, "Guan Ning, are you having an awkward relationship with the prince? Why don't you ignore the prince today and embarrass the prince in person?"
It turned out to be for the prince of Qi!
At this time, Shen Qinglan had just had a crush on Wang Shizi, and she didn't dare to think about anything else. It was only later that the Shen family decided to plot for Shen Qinglan to marry the prince of Qi.
Now the Shen family cares so much about the affairs between her and the prince of Qi, but it is not all pretended.
No matter how prominent the Dingbei Hou Mansion is, it can't reach the Qi Palace. If she marries the prince of Qi, the relationship between the Gu family and the Qi Wangfu will be closer.
In the future, Gu Jinyan inherited the title and took over the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, and he would also have more help.
The Shen family really worked hard for this pair of children.
Where did my mother start with this? Gu Wanning replied lukewarmly: "The prince of Qi has a noble status, although he and I are cousins, we should not exceed the etiquette. Why make a fuss. ”
"It's just a matter of saying this in private, and it's better to say less in front of people. Lest we be ridiculed for acting frivolously in the Dingbei Hou Mansion. ”
Shen: "......"
This girl!
It's really cheap and good!
In the past, he talked and laughed with the prince of Qi and never adhered to it, but now it is completely clear.
Shen pressed his unhappiness, squeezed out a smile and said, "Now it's just our mother and daughter, what else can't be said." ”
After a pause, his tone softened again: "Guan Ning, I know you have a grudge against me in your heart. I, as a mother, really don't treat you carefully enough on weekdays, so it's no wonder that you are estranged from me. But you have to be considerate of me. ”
"Your father died young, and now the title has fallen to the longhouse. This housekeeper's affairs must not be snatched away by the long house again. I have to take care of the trivial affairs in the house alone, and I have to take care of Ah Yan's food, clothing and daily life, so I am really busy. You're thirteen years old now, and you've grown up. He is also intelligent and capable, and takes good care of himself. I've always been reassured by you, so I've been a little negligent. ”
"But that doesn't mean I don't care about you. ”
"You are a piece of meat that fell from my belly, a daughter I worked so hard to give birth to in ten months. I'm your mother, how can I not hurt you?"
Shen said as he took Gu Wanning's hand.
The expression on the face should be more loving and loving.
…… Gu Wanning not only didn't dare to move, but got goosebumps all over his body.
It's really hard for Shen to pretend to be a mother to coax her!
The Shen family ran away with Shen Qian that year, and was found by the Shen family after giving birth to a daughter. The Shen family threatened the lives of Shen Qian's father and daughter, and forced the Shen family to marry into the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
The Shen family was resentful, and they were also full of resentment towards Gu Zhan. Even if Gu Zhan treated the Shen family wholeheartedly, the Shen family still hated Gu Zhan. This hatred even continued to her daughter.
The Shen family did not have the love and pity that she should have as a mother at all.
At this time, no matter how beautiful and pleasant Shen Shi said, he couldn't impress her, who knew everything.
Gu Guanning didn't cooperate with Shen to sing a big drama of "mother-daughter love" at all, and withdrew his hand indifferently: "Mother came to my house on purpose, is this just to say this?"
"I understand my mother's 'heart' for me. Mothers don't have to stress anymore. ”
Shen Shi made up his mind to put down his body and coax this arrogant, willful and difficult daughter, and when he heard this, he was not angry, but laughed: "Mother and daughter are connected, it's good that you understand my mind." ”
"Either way, I'm here for your good. You are often angry with me in front of people, firstly, you made the long room and the third room lively, and secondly, it also hurt our mother-daughter relationship. Don't always lose your temper with me like this in the future. ”
Who said that Shen couldn't coax people?
These gentle and careless words, replacing the innocent self before, have long been moved to tears.
Gu Wanning simply remained silent, and coldly watched Shen sing and act well.
"You and the prince of Qi are childhood sweethearts, and their affection is far better than others. In terms of family background, you are the only concubine of our Hou Mansion, and in terms of appearance and talent, there is no better and more outstanding person in the entire capital. It is more than enough to be a princess. ”
"To tell you the truth, last year, Princess Qi sent a letter, revealing in the letter that she wanted to marry our Hou Mansion. Your grandmother was also happy to see it come to fruition. ”
"You were young before, and I never said anything about it in front of you. It doesn't hurt to say it now. However, it's good to know for yourself. In front of Sister Hua and them, don't say anything. so as not to provoke gossip. ”
Shen Shi exhorted earnestly.
Gu Wanning tugged at the corners of her lips, her expression cold: "Mother is so busy every day, and she has to worry about me, her daughter is really unfilial." ”
There was a hint of sarcasm in the words.
Shen's smile suddenly stiffened, and anger was ready to move in his chest.
Gu Guanning glanced at Shen and asked idly, "Does Mother have anything important to say?"
Shen pressed the stuffiness in his chest down, and continued to smile kindly: "Our mother and daughter gossip, it doesn't matter if there is anything. ”
"Speaking of which, I do have a little thing to tell you. ”
"In a few days, it will be Mrs. Fu's 80th birthday banquet. When the time comes, all the people who go to the banquet are dignitaries in the capital. Your cousin Lan is a newcomer and is very unfamiliar with everything. You're a cousin, but you have to take care of her. ”
Sure enough, it's still for Shen Qinglan!
Only for the sake of Gu Jinyan and Shen Qinglan will the Shen family patiently play a loving mother in front of her.
Even though Gu Guanning didn't have the slightest expectation for the Shen family, he still smiled self-deprecatingly when he heard this.
I don't know whether to laugh at Shen's partiality, or to laugh at the extravagant hopes that I shouldn't have in my heart.
Seeing Gu Wanning smile, Shen felt that she had listened to her words, and her heart was overjoyed, and her expression became more and more gentle: "Lan'er is my maiden niece, I always have to pretend to be nice to her in front of people." lest those subordinates who praise the high and step on the low look down on Lan'er. ”
"You are my daughter, and you are naturally the most painful for me. ”
"You will be better to Lan'er in the future. I'm a mother, please, okay?"
Under the bright candle flame, Shen's expression was loving and his eyes were gentle.
Gu Guanning only felt tired and desolate.
The woman in front of her is her biological mother. Her blood runs through her body. They are supposed to be the closest and closest people in the world.
But now, the two of them are wearing hypocritical masks and pretending to be perfunctory to each other.
How ridiculous this is!
