"Do you dare not answer or can't?" cried the old lady sharply. Shen Jiaolan's bold and reckless behavior has made her heart fall into the ice cellar.

"Grandmother, my granddaughter accidentally fell into the water and caused the Hou Mansion to be dusty, is it my granddaughter's. But the second sister accused me of deliberately framing others, and my granddaughter didn't dare to admit such a crime. Shen Jiaolan looked at the old lady with an aggrieved look, and then looked at Chunlan heartbroken, "Second sister, but my sister has offended a lot in Su Ri, so she has caused such dissatisfaction with my sister?"

"What do you mean by that?" the second lady glared at Shen Jiaolan angrily, "I didn't admit what I did, and I still want to accuse others of slandering you?"

Shen Jiaolan pursed her lips and was silent. The meaning is obvious, the second lady's mother and daughter have long seen her unhappy and took the opportunity to accuse her.

He Mingyu, who had been standing on the side and listening for a long time, finally couldn't stand Shen Jiaolan's shamelessness anymore, and stepped forward a few steps forward and said, "Grandmother, I am also here today. It wasn't the third cousin's fault that he strayed into the outer courtyard. When Chengjun Wang Shizi and others entered the pavilion, the third cousin was polite and polite and answered questions with the same person and learned that Gu Shizi was going to come for a drink, and he didn't leave with my second cousin, which was a thoughtful courtesy, and she was right. Kindly reminded me that if I dropped the sachet and would fall into the hands of a foreign man, it was the love of a whole sister, and she was right or wrong. Falling into the lake and accidentally climbing and grabbing Gu Shizi and falling into the water together, it was survival instinct, human nature, and it was not her fault. Today's granddaughter's sachet fell into the hands of the prince of Chengjun, which is the fixed number of granddaughter's fate, and it is not the fault of the third cousin. After speaking, he turned around and took Shen Chunlan's hand, "The second cousin is for my good, and I received my wishes, but I don't have to bear the charge of being narrow-minded and framing my sister for me." ”

He Mingyu's small face was slightly flushed with resentment, but his eyes were clear and shining looking at Shen Chunlan.

These words were indignant with a bit of helplessness. Everyone was shocked when they heard it. The scene was quickly restored. The old lady raised her crutches and slapped Shen Jiaolan's body hard. said angrily, "Evil obstacles, I hurt you in vain!"

Shen Jiaolan's beaten body trembled, and a red and swollen mark quickly appeared on the back of her white hand. The old lady trembled angrily, and her breath was unsteady, "Do you admit your mistake?" ”

Since she has carried it to this moment, how could Shen Jiaolan easily admit her mistake. She knelt on the ground and called out her wishes. Such brazenness disappointed the old lady to the extreme. He closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice, "At this step in the field, you still blindly argue between right and wrong, which is really a waste of the teachings you have received over the years. The old lady glanced at Second Master Shen, "My Ningyuan Marquis Mansion can't tolerate such a girl, so I announced that I died of illness and sent it out of the capital overnight!"

When Shen Jiaolan heard this, her body fell to the ground weakly. Second Master Shen was shocked, "Mother, Jiao'er ......"

"Shut up!" the old lady interrupted Second Master Shen sharply.

Shen Jiaolan climbed to the old lady's side with her hands and feet, hugged her legs, and said with tears in her eyes, "Grandmother, grandmother, you can't send your granddaughter away." Everyone saw that the granddaughter fell into the lake with the prince of Zhenguo, if the granddaughter disappeared so inexplicably, Yu Zhenguo Mansion would not be able to explain it. ”

Shen Jiaolan raised her head, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain made people feel very distressed to watch. In the end, it was her own flesh and blood, and the old lady had long lost the decisiveness of her youth, reached out and touched her head, choked and closed her eyes.

Seeing that the old lady's expression seemed to be loose, Second Mrs. Shen stepped forward to pull Shen Jiaolan away. "If the Zhenguo Mansion really wanted to take responsibility for this matter, I am afraid that it would have sent someone to discuss how to solve this matter a long time ago. Miaolan, don't ruin the entire Hou Mansion for your own selfish desires. ”

When such a thing happens, the Zhenguo Mansion must be very angry. If you are still silent, you must not want to be responsible for this matter. The old lady withdrew the hand that was placed on Shen Jiaolan, "Go ahead, let's get this done quickly." I'm tired, it's time to rest. ”

Shen Jiaolan still wanted to struggle, but was dragged out of the house by the two rough envoys called by the second lady, one left and one right.

If Guerlain can marry into the Zhenguo Mansion, it will be beneficial to the second master Shen and harmless. The second old man knelt down and begged the old lady, "Mother, let's wait and discuss this matter." Before the exact news of the Zhenguo Mansion, it is not good to dispose of Guerlain like this. What if the government wants to marry Guerlain?"

"That's the prince of Zhenguo, and Guerlain is just a concubine, second child, are you confused?" The old lady looked at Second Master Shen helplessly, holding her forehead, and didn't want to say a word.

Second Mrs. Shen glared at the second master viciously, and scolded Shen Jiaolan in her heart. The third aunt was still upset about her daughter's affairs, but seeing Guerlain end like this, she finally vomited out a bad breath. Chunlan was the laziest to take care of her father, and turned around to support the second lady. Seeing that the old lady obviously didn't want to be bothered by this matter anymore, everyone withdrew.

As soon as everyone went out, someone came to report that someone from the Zhenguo Mansion had passed the word, and the Zhenguo Mansion recognized the family business. After the draft, the wedding date will be finalized.

Everyone was shocked, and for a while the needles in the house could be heard.

When Shen Jiaolan got the news, it was already the second day, and Shen Jiaolan was confined to her own yard and was taken care of by someone sent by the old lady herself. Under the persuasion and comfort of the second lady, the third aunt who lived in the guest house still smashed several sets of tea bowls in anger. He Mingyu hid in the house and never went out, and Shen Chunlan accompanied her to enlighten her.

When Shen Miaolan stepped into He Mingyu's boudoir with a three-layer red sandalwood carved food box, she saw her lazily leaning against the window, looking out with her cheeks back. Shen Chunlan sat aside, lowered her head and stroked the moire embroidery on the hem of her skirt, and muttered in a low voice, "I inquired with the second brother, and the prince of the Chengjun Mansion is an excellent person. He has not yet married. If he really came to the door to ask for marriage, it would not be a good marriage. ”

He Mingyu pursed his lips tightly, as if he hadn't heard it, and still looked out the window. Chunlan was a little anxious and wanted to persuade a few more words, but turned her head to see Miaolan standing at the door. As if grasping at a life-saving straw, "Fifth sister, you're here." Help me convince my cousin, she hasn't eaten all day. ”

Shen Miaolan fixed her eyes to look at He Mingyu, who turned her head, but one day, the little girl's face turned pale and colorless, and people looked very depressed. Miao Lan only felt sour in her heart, and personally picked up the food box in the lark's hand and walked over and put it on the table. smiled, "I knew my cousin hadn't eaten, so I made some delicious snacks." ”

As he spoke, he opened the food box and introduced the contents layer by layer.

He Mingyu looked at it with interest, and said in a dumb voice, "I'm tired of my fifth cousin, I really can't eat it." ”

"Cousin, what are you worried about?" Shen Miaolan sat opposite He Mingyu, "Are you afraid that because of the sachet, you will be courted by the prince of Chengjun?"
