The third lady nodded, she didn't know how sad it was to settle down.

She knew that after the death of her uncle in battle, when the second sister-in-law took over the affairs outside the house, the county lord regretted marrying the second sister-in-law and her as a daughter-in-law.

Over the years, the county lord has trained and instructed them, but the second sister-in-law and her are not the housekeeper's material at all, and their hard work will never enter the eyes of the county lord.

In the end, the county lord was forced to manage the shipyard and take over all the general affairs outside the prefecture.

It wasn't until her husband died in battle and the four siblings entered the door that the county lord breathed a sigh of relief.

For so many years, in the eyes of the county lord, she and her second sister-in-law will never be as good as the eldest sister-in-law and the fourth brother and sister.

It's no wonder, judging from Anping's marriage, the sister-in-law understood the meaning of the county lord early, and then took the initiative to send her niece away.

And she and her second sister-in-law still held on to that impossible hope, and kept dragging them with a dead face, which made everyone ugly.

The third lady was in a trance, and she got up and walked to another place.

She didn't even say goodbye to the eldest lady.

Seeing the third lady like this, the eldest lady hurriedly shouted not far away: "Su Xin, take care of your wife." ”

Su Xin bowed, turned her head and chased after her, she didn't dare to step forward, let alone speak.

In this way, the two of them walked to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion one after the other.

The third lady stopped and stopped outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"Su Xin, in fact, I have a premonition that Wanru has no hope for her. Just when the county lord asked the uncle to vacate the garden. But I don't give up, I've been planning for so many years. I plan to let the uncle and Wanru grow up together, maybe when the uncle is older, Wanru will not marry; I thought that after waiting for a long time, everyone would find that there was no one more suitable to be the uncle's daughter-in-law than Wanru; I even thought that if Wanru lived like this until he lived, then the uncle would have to marry Wanru.

But today...... Suxin, I'm not reconciled. I've been busy for so many years, how could this be the result! ”

Su Xin looked at the third lady with tears streaming down her face, and didn't know how to answer her.

The third lady didn't seem to mind, and continued to talk to herself: "I don't blame the county lord, nor do I blame the fourth brother and sister, what the sister-in-law said is right, I didn't understand the situation of the An family." ”

Over the years, what she has been thinking about is to let Wanru marry Anping, and now the three of their widowed wives are looking at the scenery, and that is because they are housekeepers.

But if the county lord dies, the fourth lady takes over the An family, and she marries a powerful daughter-in-law, then the eldest lady not to mention, just the second lady and her, it will definitely be seized power.

That's why she found a niece with a good temperament from her mother's family, so that she could treat them well in the future. She self-righteously thinks that the eldest lady and the second lady will care about her future life, and they will like and support Wanru to marry Anping.

But she forgot that it was the county lord who was in charge of the An family, and it was Mrs. An who married the daughter-in-law. When they choose a daughter-in-law, how can they only choose a good-tempered one.

She thought about what she had to say, and then she walked towards the courtyard gate.

Mother Yang walked out of the house with a small wooden stool in one hand and a needlework basket in the other, and it seemed that she was going to embroider flowers under the porch.

As soon as she sat down, she felt someone look at her, and when she looked up, she met the red and swollen eyes of the third lady.

She was shocked, hurriedly put down the things in her hand, got up and saluted, and said, "The slave has seen Madame." Then he lifted the curtain and shouted, "Mademoiselle, Madame is here." ”

When Yan Wanru heard Mother Yang's words, she suddenly felt a little strange.

This is the first day of the new year, and it stands to reason that the third lady should be at the county lord at this time.

The third lady's master and servant walked in, Yan Wanru was also shocked when she saw the appearance of the third lady, and then looked at Su Xin.

Su Xin hurriedly saluted and said, "Miss Cousin, please persuade our lady quickly." ”

Yan Wanru saluted with a gentle smile on her face: "Auntie, what's wrong?" How did this time come? ”

She thought that the third lady was angry with the county lord, so she came to her at this time.

Su Xin saw Yan Wanru's appearance, glanced at Mother Yang with a little sympathy, and then went to the door together.

The third lady looked at Yan Wanru's little face that had lost a circle, and if she had just thought about it, she couldn't say a word at the moment.

She turned her head to wipe away her tears and sobbed softly.

Seeing this, Yan Wanru suddenly felt an inexplicable panic.

She stepped forward and helped the third lady to sit on the couch beside her.

He asked softly, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Tell Wanru that Wanru's illness has been cured, and the doctor came yesterday and said that Wanru doesn't need to take medicine anymore. ”

Yan Wanru has automatically changed her words since she heard that the one in Hongxiangyuan is also called Sister Ru, so she doesn't want to have the same name as others, especially if that person is something she doesn't like.

The third lady looked at Yan Wanru's sensible appearance, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

She sobbed and said: "Wanru, good boy, it's all my aunt's bad, our long pain is better than short pain, you promise your aunt that you must be good." ”

After the third lady finished speaking, she cried quietly.

It's called an inexplicable one, what is this? And the long pain was better than the short pain, and she suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

She endured the impatience in her heart and continued: "Auntie, don't cry, tell me Wanru, what do you mean? Have you been wronged? You're so... But I'm going to die in a hurry. ”

Yan Wanru also wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief as she spoke.

After hearing this, the third lady directly hugged Yan Wanru and cried.

She cried out all the grievances of being a widow over the years, the hard work of the housekeeper, and the bitterness and hardship of these years.

The third lady was crying in the dark. Wan Ru frowned tightly, sat upright, her clothes were wet, and she didn't even want to say anything at the moment.

When the third lady had cried enough, Yan Wanru asked obediently, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" You're so scared. ”

She wiped the corners of her eyes as she spoke, looking self-reproachful for doing something wrong.

The third lady looked at such a Yan Wanru, sighed, and said in her heart: "What the sister-in-law said is right, Wanru's temperament is indeed not suitable for a family. ”

Yan Wanru has been in the An family for several years, as the county lord of Annan said, the wives of the An family are very busy, and they rarely have time to teach Yan Wanru.

After Wanru tried to use her well-behaved, sensible, and self-blaming appearance to successfully frame and squeeze out other cousins, she preferred to act in front of others.

She felt that it was a good feeling to play with everybody between applause.

Just like now, she once again used her performance to make the third lady speak.

The third lady wiped away her tears, "Wanru, you listen to your aunt, in a few days your aunt will send you home, return home, and learn the way of housekeeping with your mother. ”
