Although these were just momentary thoughts in Wang Qiaoer's heart, they were captured by Qiu Yujuan in her eyes.

Qiu Yujuan glanced at Qiu Ruolan, who was smiling obediently, and sighed in her heart: I originally thought that I had begged for a trick in this life, but now it seems that things are much more chaotic than in my previous life.

Not to mention the various hearts and minds of the Qiu sisters, only to say that after the guests left, Duchess Lu Guo wanted to calm down the anger in her chest, but because she thought that her son and outsiders deceived her, the anger in her heart did not decrease but rose, and she really couldn't sit down, so she didn't ask her son to come up, and went to her son's study in person.

Duchess Lu Guo, who was originally angry, walked to her son's study and looked inside, and most of the anger disappeared.

I saw that it was quiet in the study at this time, and An Shicheng was quietly crouching on the desk and painting.

Changqing stood beside him with a reverent face, waiting for the pen and ink, and Changzhu seriously burned incense on the stove beside him.

At this time, the incense mist has risen in the incense burner, but it is sandalwood overflowing, low and long.

Everyone was a little surprised, it turned out that An Shicheng had cultivated a thrifty temperament since he was a child, and he didn't do such a thing as burning money and bothering and being elegant.

However, Duchess Lu Guo guessed a few points in her heart, and quietly walked a few steps closer, and saw that her son was really painting the statue of Guanyin reverently, and she couldn't help but lose her anger in her heart.

It turned out that a few days ago, the Duchess Lu Guo suddenly came to her heart and wanted to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva at home, An Shicheng volunteered to help her mother paint a Guanyin statue to worship.

Duchess Lu Guo was extremely pleased with her son's filial piety, and wanted her son to be protected by Guanyin Bodhisattva, so she naturally agreed.

An Shicheng is not sloppy, according to his mother's request, first fasted for three days, today after bathing and changing, first lit sandalwood, in the heart of the recitation of "Nan Wu Great Compassion Relief Suffering Guanyin Bodhisattva" more than ten times, until the heart is like water, without the slightest distraction, and meditate on the Bodhisattva treasure, then wave the ink to paint.

An Shicheng first sketched the outline of the body, but for the sake of piety and prudence, he did not dare to draw the treasure of the Bodhisattva at will.

After the other parts were completed, An Shicheng stood up first and recited the Bodhisattva's holy name in his heart, and then when he wanted to fill the Bodhisattva's face, he found that his mother was already standing beside him.

An Shicheng put down the paintbrush, greeted his mother, and invited his mother to drink tea and talk in the next room.

Duchess Lu Guo looked at the Guanyin statue and was happy in her heart, and she didn't want to have a dislike for a woman and her son, and after drinking tea, she said to her son: "It turns out that you took Zhongqiu Ruyi early in the morning, why didn't you tell your mother clearly and clearly, you have gone around such a big circle in vain, if your mother didn't talk to you in advance, and directly hired someone else, wouldn't you be depressed for a lifetime?"

An Shicheng listened to his mother's unclear call, but he was a little confused.

Duchess Lu Guo saw her son's bewilderment, so she smiled again: "Qiu Ruolan's girl lost her words today, speaking of the matter of Xishan Temple, my mother knew that you have long been familiar with Qiu Ruyi, in this case, why don't you go home that day and say it early, and my mother doesn't have to go through the trouble to go to Qiufeng Villa to see your daughter-in-law one by one." ”

An Shicheng then understood what was going on, and when he heard his mother's promise to Qiu Ruyi's affair, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart.

An Shicheng was about to take the opportunity to do a good job with Qiu Ruyi in front of his mother, but his brain was agitated and he suddenly closed his mouth.

Because he suddenly thought that if he really acted like this, it clearly showed that he and Qiu Ruyi had an affair with each other before marriage.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, with the situation that the two of them quarrel every time they meet, he really doesn't feel Qiu Ruyi's affection for him.

As for whether he himself had any affection, An Shicheng straightened his face, and then thought that although he didn't like Qiu Ruyi's negligence in his heart, in all fairness, those were just a little flaw, and it had nothing to do with Qiu Ruyi's nature and virtue, and he would discipline himself diligently in the future.

But if Qiu Ruyi really had a personal affair with someone in the boudoir, it was with her husband, although she was later able to cover up the ugliness with a quilt, but there is no shortage of people in the world who are deaf and clear-sighted.

Don't look at the women in the capital who are now learning from the Liu family's independent and special behavior, and abolishing the etiquette, but really in the family, they take the rules more seriously than before, in order to show their true dignity and decency.

If he acquiesced at this time, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the rumors can be spread to his mother today, and they will also be spread to outsiders in the future, so how will Qiu Ruyi gain a foothold in front of the ladies in the powerful circle of the capital in the future?

It was the mother who reluctantly agreed to the family affair at this time because of her love for her son, but he did not dare to guarantee that her mother and Qiu Ruyi would be closer to mother and daughter in the future, if her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a disagreement, this matter not only became a thorn in her mother's heart, but also a magic weapon for her to fight Qiu Ruyi.

Things are easy to go by, Qiu Ruyi is afraid that she will not be able to wash away the sewage she personally poured on her in this life, with Qiu Ruyi's fierce temperament, wouldn't she have to die alive?

An Shicheng's mind changed rapidly, and he said solemnly: "Mother is afraid that she has misunderstood." That day was just because of his son's rudeness to Tang Chong, and the two quarreled a few words, and there was a private matter. ”

Duchess Lu Guo didn't believe it, so she smiled and said: "Shao Mu Zhiai, it's normal feeling, you don't have to cover it up like this, lest you make a mistake." Mother heard that you went in and out of Qiu's house several times later. ”

An Shicheng patiently explained: "That's because Master Huakong's energy is not good, so he introduced his son to Qiu Ruhai to ask Qiu Ruhai for advice on flower planting. When the son goes to him, he only goes to the outer courtyard, where can he see the young lady in his boudoir? The son not only goes to him, but also often goes to Qiu Mansion to discuss articles with Qiu Rucheng, is it possible that he also goes to his house to meet his sister? After that, if there are sisters in the family, in order to avoid suspicion, the son is not allowed to associate with him. ”

When Duchess Lu Guo heard her son say this, she secretly said in her heart that she was afraid that she really misunderstood her son, what a square person her son was, and how could he do such a criticizing thing.

Duchess Lu Guo thought about it for a while, and asked: "In this case, commenting on her three sisters that day, it is obvious that you are protecting her, if you are selfless, just peeping behind her screen is enough to make you dislike, how can you still help her speak." ”

When An Shicheng heard this, he secretly sighed in his heart, just because he and Qiu Ruyi met several times, especially when he later revealed his identity, Qiu Ruyi could still be curious about his appearance?

Although An Shicheng thinks that he can still be eye-catching, he is by no means the appearance of Pan An, which can make people still dream when they don't like it in their hearts.

An Shicheng was surprised on his face and said: "That day, my son was just talking about things, and he didn't have any selfish intentions. As for Qiu Ruyi's incident of knocking down the screen that day, although her son didn't know the reason, she dared to say that she didn't mean to peep at her son. We've met before, and we've had a very unpleasant time. Besides, there must be a girl in our house serving behind the screen that day, my son doesn't understand, in this case, she still does some frivolous and contemptuous behavior?"

When Duchess Lu Guo heard this, she couldn't help nodding frequently.

In fact, she also had doubts that day, but she didn't like Qiu Ruyi in her heart, and she made up her mind that she wouldn't give her a chance, so she didn't bother to pay attention to it, otherwise she would have called the girl to ask later, and she would have known the truth.

Later, after a long time, the subtleties of this matter were vaguely remembered, leaving only Qiu Ruyi's frivolous and unruly conclusion in his heart, and now that he thinks about it, he really wronged her.

Duchess Lu Guo lowered her head and thought for a moment, and sighed lightly: "Mother originally thought that if the two of you really had a private relationship, mother would be the beauty of adulthood, and she would save some effort. ”

When An Shicheng heard this, he pondered his eyebrows, and felt that today was a good opportunity to speak openly, so he said frankly: "Although the son and the young lady of the Qiu family have no selfish relationship, if the two families are really married because of repaying the favor, the son thinks that that Miss Qiu Ruyi is the best candidate." ”

Duchess Lu Guo was stunned, and An Shicheng explained: "It is undeniable that we saved our family that day, and we all relied on Qiu Ming and his family members of the Qiu family, but Qiu Ming's daughter is so good that people are puzzled, and for the sake of safety, the son does not dare to cling." And Qiu Rong's family also contributed a lot that day, especially Qiu Ruyi's diversion, which was the key to saving her life, since she herself was not bad, it was only natural to ask her to marry her, and it also saved her mother's work. ”

Duchess Lu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, of course she understood this truth, but she heard that Qiu Ruyi had a tricky personality, and she really let her enter the door, relying on the identity of a life-saving benefactor, wouldn't she have to trample the whole family under her feet, not to mention, this is still a family affair that she has begged for again and again, which makes her more and more satisfied.

An Shicheng said: "I know my mother's knot, I feel that I was rejected when I asked for marriage, and now that I am developed, I can't help but be disgraced. With all due respect to my son, our family was just a well-off family back then, and the names of the royal family were just good-sounding, and the real situation was known to everyone. Although Qiu Rong was also in white clothes at that time, he was one of the richest families in Shunyang City, and we were a little wishful thinking and a bit unworthy of the name at that time in order to repay the favor. And the son also understood the mother's hard work for her son at that time. ”

Duchess Lu Guo was pointed out by her son, and she couldn't help but blush.

An Shicheng continued: "Now that we are developed, we will go to ask for relatives again, so that we can show our sincerity in repaying our kindness." Even if it was at the Queen Mother, it was easy to explain, so that she could understand that we are not ungrateful. I also asked my mother to think about it. ”

Duchess Lu Guo was persuaded by her son, and she was speechless for a while, and said for a long time: "What you said is also reasonable, let my mother think about it slowly." ”

An Shicheng understood his mother's temper and knew that she would most likely want to come over, but it was just a matter of time, so he didn't force him, but smiled and talked to his mother about painting the Guanyin statue. (To be continued.) )
