Chapter 60: Peace

By the time Ran Ning woke up, it was already noon. Zhong Su was still lying beside her, and it seemed that he hadn't been awake for long.

Seeing her open her eyes, Zhong Su touched her cheek and asked, "Are you hungry?" My mother had chicken soup brought to me. ”

"Is Mother awake?" Ran Ning felt that the Tan family should be more tired than her.

"Well, the maid who brought the soup said she woke up an hour ago." Zhong Su said.

"Oh, let's go to my mother's after dinner." Her mother brought her soup, which was also a sign of closeness.

"I'll talk about it when you're rested." Now that Ran Ning is back unharmed, Zhong Su feels that the most important thing is to rest, and the rest will wait until the rest is good.

After the two got up and washed, Bizhu took the maid to put lunch on the table. She had something to say to her young lady, but now was not the time to speak, so she had to wait for Ran Ning to slow down. Anyway, she was now sure that Ran Ning was safe and sound, and the big stone in her heart had also fallen.

"What should I do if something like this happens and my grandmother's sacrifice is delayed?" Ran Ning was a little worried. The deep affection of Zhenbei Hou for his deceased wife is well known to everyone in the house, and now that the sacrifice has been delayed, Ran Ning always feels uneasy.

"Grandfather said that when you and your mother are rested, you will worship directly at home." Zhong Su helped Ran Ning blow the soup cold, and said, "No one expected this kind of thing to happen. Now you and your mother are fine, and your grandmother blesses you. Wait for Yun Qing'an to give some more sesame oil money, and let them send scriptures for their grandmother, and we will sacrifice at home the same. ”

"Okay." As long as you don't delay, it's good to find a compromise.

"Those who stand in the way to kill us, do you have eyebrows?" Ran Ning asked. This is the most important concern of everyone after they come back safely, and Ran Ning is no exception, she always wants to know who wants her to die.

"There is no news yet. Lord Xu is checking on the surface, and my secret guard is checking in private, and someone will inform me immediately if there is a result. Zhong Su was a little dissatisfied with this efficiency, but there was no way, it always took some time.

"Hmm." Ran Ning nodded, sandwiched a piece of ribs for Zhong Su, and said, "Recently, I will stay in the house and not go anywhere, so you don't have to worry too much." ”

"I'm watching over you." Zhong Su said.

Ran Ning smiled, "There's no need, there are so many masters in the house, you can be busy with your business." ”

No one expected this kind of thing when they went out this time, so they didn't bring any secret guards or anything like that, but this doesn't mean that there are no masters in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion who can protect her.

"I'm not at ease." After this incident, Zhong Su felt that only by staying by Ran Ning's side was the most reassuring.

Seeing that he looked serious and his tone could not be refuted, Ran Ning did not persuade him again, this was Zhong Su's intention, and she just accepted it.

After lunch, someone from Tan's side came and asked Zhong Su to come over.

Zhong Su looked at Ran Ning, meaning to ask if he wanted to go together

Ran Ning could probably guess what her mother was going to say when she looked for Zhong Su, smiled and shook her head and said, "You go over, I'm still a little tired, I want to lie down for a while and go back at night." "Their mother and son talked, Ran Ning felt that she should not participate.

Zhong Su didn't say anything more, got up and went to Tan's place.

As soon as Zhong Su left, Bizhu entered the house, looked at Ran Ning, his eyes turned red, and he sobbed and said, "Young lady, it's great that you're okay." When the carriage fell, it really scared Bizhu to death. ”

Ran Ning pulled Bizhu to her side and sat down, she knew that if something happened to her, except for Zhong Su, only Bizhu was the most anxious, and she didn't cry as soon as Ran Ning came back, which was already very good.

"It's okay, don't worry." Ran Ning touched her hair and comforted her: "There is a waterhole at the bottom of the mountain, I fell into the water and was not injured. The purse you prepared for me has also helped me a lot, otherwise I would have gotten frostbite. ”

Bizhu wiped his eyes and said, "Really? Seeing that you come back safely, Bizhu has nothing to ask for. The purse was prepared by her according to Ran Ning's instructions, and she felt a little better if she could help.

"Hmm. In the future, if we go out with more people, this will not happen again. Ran Ning felt that this matter must be taken seriously, even if this situation will not happen again, it must be prevented.

"Well, young lady, don't be too restrained when you go out in the future, safety is the most important thing." Bizhu said to Ran Ning very seriously. They usually go out without anyone, and they are safe and sound. And this lesson can wipe out all the previous safety, there is always no harm in going out with more people, not afraid of 10,000, just in case. If this time the mountain is not a waterhole, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

"yes, I know." Ran Ning is not ready to treat this matter sloppily anymore, it must be put on the agenda.

After pouring a cup of tea for Bizhu, Ran Ning saw that her feelings had calmed down a lot, so she asked, "How did you escape back home?" What happened to the others? "No one has mentioned this to her since she came back, probably because she doesn't want her to worry about it, but she can't ignore it, so it's the most direct thing to ask Bizhu, when she came forward in the water, she was also worried about Bizhu's safety, but at that time she was completely powerless, and she could only hope that Bizhu would be lucky.

"After you and your wife fall down the mountain, those bad guys will kill us. A few of us maids ran around, and the coachman and the family tried desperately to stop them. Not long after, the girl from the Xue Mansion also happened to go to Yunqing Nunnery to make incense, and she brought a lot of guards with her. I didn't know it was her at the time, but when I saw someone coming, I stepped forward to ask for help, but when Miss Xue saw that it was me, she ordered someone to save us. We escaped, the coachman and the family were seriously injured, and the maids were fine. The bad guys couldn't kill us anymore, so they ran away together. Miss Xue asked me to send me back to the house to report the news, and the injured were carried to the nearby hospital, and I heard that my life was saved, but I would probably lie down for a long time. Bizhu told Ran Ning about the situation at that time.

"Xue Nianzi?" Ran Ning asked. She didn't have much contact with Xue Nianzi, and she was very grateful for her help.

"Yes." Bizhu nodded.

"Wait for me to rest for a few days, prepare a generous gift and personally come to thank you." Ran Ning said.

"Yes." Bizhu responded and continued: "After I came back to inform the house, my uncle asked me to report to the official, and then I took someone to look for you. After hearing what happened to me, Lord Xu immediately sent someone to meet with my uncle and find you and Mrs. together. ”

Ran Ning nodded. Zhong Su asked Bizhu to report to the official, and Ran Ning felt that he had done a very good job. How they are secretly the same thing, on the surface, they must go through this formality to be reasonable, and others can't find fault with them. The Houfu tree in Zhenbei is a big move, so it is the wisest choice to judge calmly and make the most beneficial decision for the overall situation.

Here Ran Ning was talking to Bizhu, and Tan was already in tears when he was holding Zhong Su's hand, and he was saying sorry for Zhong Su, and his remorse was overflowing.

learned from his mother that Ran Ning had told her about the events of the year, Zhong Su was not angry, but felt a lot more relaxed. The mother had no intention of leaving, nor was she decadent because of it, which Zhong Su was happy to see.

"Why are you so stupid?" Tan Shi hammered Zhong Su's back and said, "I know you are worried about me, but if it weren't for Ning Er, would you want to hide it from me for the rest of my life?" My mother is indeed high-hearted, and your worries are understood, but if you let your mother misunderstand you so much, how can my mother bear it? ”

"Mother......" Zhong Su lowered his head, not knowing how to comfort her.

"It's all my mother's fault, my own son, I don't believe you, it's all my mother's fault......" Tan cried.

"Mother, it's all over......" Now Zhong Su also feels like he has been freed from a layer of constraints, and he won't have to carry this burden in the future.

"You......" Tan hugged Zhong Su and cried bitterly.

General Chung stood outside the door and did not go in. He was originally afraid that Tan and Zhong Su would not get along well, so he was about to come over to have a look, but when he stood at the outer door, he heard Tan say that Ran Ning had sued her. Seeing that Tan was really distressed about Zhong Su and could figure it out, he was relieved and was not ready to go in and disturb the rare relationship between their mother and son.

Dinner was used by the family to go to Zhenbei Hou together, Zhong Jin and Li also came, no matter if they really cared or pretended to go out, Zhong Jin's Li family comforted Tan and Ran Ning, and they were okay on the surface.

At the dinner table, Zhong Su sat next to Tan, and Ran Ning was next to Zhong Su. Tan kept sandwiching dishes between the two, calling "Ning'er" one by one, and everyone present understood that this was Tan's approval of Ran Ning, and the mother-son relationship with Zhong Su also returned to closeness. Li and Zhong Jin didn't know how Tan figured it out, but everyone else knew it in their hearts and was happy to see it.

After the meal, Tan asked Zhenbei Hou and General Zhong to allow her to change a small Buddhist hall in the courtyard, where she was going to send prayers every day, and asked the gods to bless Zhong Su and bless the entire Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

This kind of accumulation of virtue, Zhenbei Hou and General Zhong naturally will not object, and it will also be handled by the Tan family themselves.

As for the right of the housekeeper, Tan didn't mean to get it back, only said that Ran Ning had done a good job during this time, she was busy sending scriptures to the Buddha, and she was afraid that she wouldn't have time to deal with the affairs of the house, so the housekeeper was still handed over to Ran Ning, and if there was anything difficult to do, she would help from the side.

Naturally, this is the best, and the Marquis of Zhenbei is also a little more satisfied with the Tan family, and his daughter-in-law has finally changed back to the original well-informed appearance.

After dinner, Ran Ning and Zhong Su accompanied Tan to the garden for a walk, and Li and Zhong Jin went back to the courtyard first. General Zhong stayed in the courtyard of the Marquis of Zhenbei and drank tea with him.

"Ning'er, this granddaughter-in-law, is well married." The Hou of Zhenbei said with a smile: "It is indeed a great blessing for the Hou Mansion to pick the best time to tell the Tan family about this matter, and not let the Tan family make drastic moves." ”

"Yes." General Zhong nodded.

"In the future, you and the Tan family will also be harmonious, so that our Hou Mansion can be better." Zhenbei Hou nodded.

"Yes, don't worry, father."

"Hmm." Although his son is sometimes a little wooden, he is never sloppy in what he should do.

After accompanying Tan Shi to walk around the garden for a while, Zhong Su and Ran Ning sent her back to the room, and then walked to their own courtyard.

Zhong Su held Ran Ning's hand, although he didn't say much, he was always concerned.

"Xianggong, there is a sentence I don't know whether to ask or not." Ran Ning was a little hesitant, but felt that it might be the most appropriate to ask Zhong Su.

"Just ask." As long as Ran Ning asked, he was willing to answer.

"I saw that my father and mother had a good relationship, so how could my father accept my aunt in the first place?" She thinks that according to her father's character, she should not accept a concubine.

Zhong Su's expression did not change, and he said without any concealment: "Cong's mother and my grandmother grew up together, and they often corresponded after they got married. Later, the Cong family fell into the middle of the road, and they didn't go much water, and the family died in the fire. Cong's went out to worship the Buddha in those days and lived in the temple, so he escaped a catastrophe. As soon as the Cong family was over, the Cong family was homeless. Grandmother knew about this, so she took Cong over. At that time, my father and mother were not married, but they were already married. The grandmother knew that her father liked her mother, and she had no intention of letting her father marry Cong, she just wanted to wait for Cong's filial piety to prepare a rich dowry, so that Cong could marry a good family, which was worthy of her handkerchief friend. never thought that Cong took advantage of his father's return from a victory and celebrated his drunkenness, and had sex with his father. When the grandmother found out, she was furious, but Cong cried and begged, and the grandmother couldn't bear to drive her away because of her love for her mother. Who knew that just that time, the Cong family had a big brother. The mother was also angry when she found out, but the fault was not the father, so she could only admit the loss. The house still wants to marry his mother as the main room, but the Cong family failed to straighten it out, so he had to be a concubine. After her mother passed the door, she treated her elders with extreme filial piety and fairness, and her grandfather and grandmother liked her very much. And because of the previous episode, Cong's grandmother didn't like it anymore, but for the sake of the eldest brother's face, he didn't lack food and clothing. Not long after the eldest brother got married, Cong died of illness. ”

There seemed to be a lot of discrepancies between the Cong things in Zhong Su's mouth and the Cong family in Li's mouth before, in contrast, Ran Ning believed Zhong Su's words more.

"I won't take a concubine." Zhong Su assured Ran Ning again.

"I know, I just asked casually, and I didn't mean to mention you." She didn't want Zhong Su to think that she was an unreasonable wife.

"Hmm." Zhong Su clenched her hand, he wouldn't let this happen to him anyway.

Three days later, Lord Xu came to the door in person and informed him that the results had been found out, and those who chased and killed Ran Ning and the Tan family were a killer raised by the Jianghu organization, and it was Tan Ling, a girl from the Tan family, who paid them to kill Ran Ning and the Tan family.
