15. Threats
When Mrs. Wen San arrived at the Chongning Marquis Mansion, the mess in the west courtyard had been cleaned up, and the courtyard seemed a little quiet, Mama Lu led Mrs. Wen San into the inner room, Mrs. Wen San glanced at Mrs. Wen who was sitting in the room with a gloomy face, pouted her lips secretly, and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Wen.
Mrs. Wen glanced at Mrs. Wen impatiently, and frowned and motioned for Mama Lu to serve tea.
Mrs. Wen San was stunned for a moment, stood up flattered, hurriedly thanked her, took the teacup, sat next to the chair, endured it, and asked cautiously: "Madam is in a hurry, I don't know...... What's going on? ”
"It's not a big deal!" Mrs. Wen took Mrs. Wen's words lightly, and explained while blowing tea, "A few days ago, I went to Kaiyuan Temple with Zhijian to take a look at the four girls in your family. Although Nizi's temperament is a little worse, fortunately, her appearance is quite Zhouzheng, and Zhijian is also interested, this matter has been pressed by me for half a month, and it just so happened that the Hou Ye came back today and mentioned it, I will tell you first. Hou Ye means that Zhijian has also reached the age when he should marry, and our Hou Mansion is thin, so let Zhijian get married as soon as possible, so that it will be easy to spread the branches. I thought that this matter should be sooner rather than later, don't delay, Ming'er will send that Nizi's Geng post over, and when the Hou Mansion is busy for a while, I will let people go to the Lu Mansion to give a dowry. ”
"This, didn't Mrs. say ...... before" Mrs. Wen San listened to Mrs. Wen's natural instructions in a daze, and the teacup in her hand was almost not steady, her eldest sister came back from Kaiyuan Temple and lashed at her head and face for a long time, saying that the people of the Lu family did not know what to do, and scolded her for not doing things well, but now she suddenly changed her face! When she is so good that she can't be bullied?
Mrs. Wen San opened her mouth, and she was only halfway through her words, and then suddenly remembered the rumors on the street today, her face changed a few times, and she thought of her son's future and the Shen family's Zhuangzi shops for a while, and it took a long time to barely stabilize her mind, endure the churning anger and schadenfreude in her heart, and looked at Mrs. Wen's face, her heart was horizontal, and she simply changed her words and admitted, "Mrs. is right, the uncle can take a fancy to that Nizi, and it is also her blessing!" I'll have someone send Geng Ti over when I go back! Madame rest assured! ”。
After sitting for a while, seeing that Mrs. Wen's face was not very good-looking, Mrs. Wen San hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and returned to the Lu Mansion, not daring to delay more, and hurriedly asked Mama Zhao, who was accompanying the room, to quietly take Lu Wan's Geng post and send it over.
Until the end of the day, Mama Zhao didn't come back, Mrs. Wensan's heart was up and down, and she gradually couldn't sit still, and she panicked and told the big girl Hongrui to go out to see people, but she waited for a while, and she didn't see Hongrui come in to reply, and the little girl in the yard didn't know where to hide and be lazy, and she didn't see a single figure.
Mrs. Wen San couldn't wait, so she had to hold her chest and slowly breathe a sigh of relief, suppressing the worries in her heart, and preparing to go to the second gate to find someone in person, but before she was discharged from the hospital, she met Lu Wan who was walking from the verandah with a girl.
Mrs. Wen San chuckled in her heart, looking at Lu Wan's smiling and tranquil face, she hesitated for a while, why couldn't she move her legs.
"Late sister...... What's wrong with it? Mrs. Wensan's voice was a little unstable, she looked behind Lu Wan, and saw that there was no one else except Lu Zhi and Yumo, her heart was settled, she barely stabilized her mind, and asked politely with a smile.
Lu Wan smiled very lightly, as if she was a little surprised, raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Wen San, and said with a calm smile: "Mrs. is really asking this question!" It's freezing on this day, everyone is lazy, but my wife is always thinking about me, I think my wife is good, so I naturally came to thank Mrs. Xie. ”
Mrs. Wen San thundered in her head, the smile on her face was not suppressed, and Lu Wan was flustered for a while, and she unconsciously took a step back, and turned around to call someone.
"Who does the wife want to call?" Lu Wan asked Mrs. Wen San with a smile, as if she didn't see the panic in Mrs. Wen San's eyes at all, and motioned to Yumo in a soft voice, "Help Mrs. Wen into the house." ”
Yumo smiled and nodded, and together with the two of them, they walked to the courtyard with Mrs. Wen San on the left and right.
Mrs. Wen San reacted suddenly, a wave of annoyance suddenly rose in her eyes, she struggled to shake off the jade ink and the green branch, stared at Lu Wan, tried to suppress the panic in her heart, and asked sharply, "What do you want to do?" I am your mother! ”
Lu Wan smiled, stared at Mrs. Wen San with a dejected face, and sneered word by word: "Mrs. has worked too hard these days, she is tired and sick, she has to take care of it!" ”
Mrs. Wen San's heart trembled violently when Lu Wan saw it, and finally realized that something was wrong, and asked in a trembling voice, "Where is Mama Zhao?" ”
"Mama Zhao is naturally where she should be! Mrs. rest assured. Green Zhi sneered and snorted, stupid like this, she dared to calculate their girls, she didn't know what to say!
The only remaining happiness in Mrs. Wensan's heart also disappeared neatly in the sarcastic smile of the green branch, and she was weak under Lu Wan's cold gaze, her face was blue and white, staring at Lu Wan, and she scolded in a panic: "I am your mother!" You are unfilial! You don't want fame anymore? How dare you—"
"What does my wife think I don't dare?" Lu Wan slowly intercepted Mrs. Wensan's words, and asked funny, "Mrs. has been married into the Lu family for so many years, what kind of character am I, Mrs. doesn't know?" After a pause, he looked at Mrs. Wen San, who was struggling in annoyance, and reminded in a calm tone, "Mrs. thinks about me, and I naturally have to think about my wife!" I heard that Brother Xin went out with someone today, and I don't know when I will be back. These days, there are a lot of people on the street, and it is easy to get lost if you are not careful. ”
Mrs. Wensan's face suddenly turned pale, her lips trembled, her eyes were quenched with a hint of cruelty, and she stared at Lu Wan, "The master is going back to the house in the next few days...... What do you want? Brother Xin is your own brother! He is the grandson of the Lu family! How dare you—"
Lu Wan paused, glanced at Mrs. Wen San with a smile, and said with a cold smile: "Brother Xin is my own brother, but Mrs. has to force me to deny my six relatives, what can I do?" The Lu family has many sons and grandchildren, and there are many of them. After a pause, he added slowly, "I have always had a bad temperament, I can't stand the grievances and can't suffer losses, since my wife doesn't know, I'll make it clear today - I have a very small heart, and I love to hold grudges, if I don't feel happy for a while, I naturally want to find someone to vent my anger, maybe my wife will never see Brother Xin in this life!" ”
Mrs. Wen San stared at Lu Wan blankly, and was so shocked by the chill in Lu Wan's eyes that she lost her mind, and shouted in a lost voice: "You dare!" Aren't you afraid of retribution? ”
"Retribution?" Lu Wan laughed lowly, met Mrs. Wensan's panicked gaze, as if she was a little surprised, slightly lengthened her voice, and sneered unhurriedly, "It turns out that Mrs. also believes in the word 'retribution'-" After finishing slowly, the smile on her face disappeared, her voice cooled down, and she continued to sneer, "It's a pity that Mrs. probably forgot, I am a person who died once, and I snatched my life from Lord Yama." What retribution will people fear when the ghost door is closed? What's more, my wife should also understand that there is a debtor who is wronged, and whoever causes it should naturally go to whom, and what does it have to do with me? ”
Mrs. Wen San listened to Lu Wan's words in astonishment and panic, only to feel that the cold wind in the courtyard had poured into her bones, and it was cold from head to toe, so she didn't stand still for a while, and collapsed directly to the ground with a plop.
Lu Zhi clapped his hands, looked at Mrs. Wen San who was sitting on the ground with disdain, and snorted coldly in his heart, why did he go so intimidated?
"My wife's illness seems to be a little serious." Yumo stood on the side without squinting, a step away from Mrs. Wen San, and asked Lu Wan with a smile, "Girl, do you want to invite a doctor to take a look?" Let's see if my wife wants to recuperate? ”
Lu Wan looked at Mrs. Wen San's frightened and confused appearance, frowned in annoyance, and was about to give orders to the green branch, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Zhu Qing hurrying over with her skirt, panting and replying: "Girl, the master is back-"
