Chapter 04 See Through

Ran Ning didn't know why Shen Lian appeared here, but whether it was intentionally found or unintentionally encountered, Ran Ning didn't care.

"Shen Gongzi." Ran Ning quietly pulled out the arm that was grabbed by Shen Lian, and her face was calm.

Even though it was late and the light was dim, it still couldn't hide Ran Ning's stunning color, Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, only to find that Ran Ning's name for him had changed to "Shen Gongzi", and Ran Ning used to call him by his name directly.

Bizhu stood behind Ran Ning, staring at Shen Lian with fierce eyes, in case Shen Lian dared to be disrespectful to Ran Ning, she would definitely rush up to grab Shen Lian's handsome face.

"Ning'er, listen to my explanation." Shen Lian withdrew the hand hanging in front of him into his sleeve and said, "This time it's all my father's will, and I am also my father's fate." Please believe me, I really have you alone in my heart. ”

Ran Ning looked at the anxious person in front of her, but she couldn't mention any sympathy, "The matter between you and your sister should be decided, right?" That being the case, you will be my brother-in-law in the near future, I am young, I hope that Shen Gongzi will not take it to heart if there is anything wrong before, and I will respect you as a brother-in-law in the future. "Ran Ning's meaning couldn't be clearer, that is, it is good to gather and disperse, and there is no need to mention the past.

"Do you really want to be so ruthless?" Shen Lian glared at Ran Ning, as if he didn't believe that this was what Ran Ning was thinking.

"It's not that I'm ruthless, I can't stay together, so why bother?" She doesn't want to be trapped by love like ordinary women, it's not worth it.

"Ning'er, although I have no choice but to marry Ran Xiao, but you wait for me, and when I get famous, I will accept you into the mansion and raise you as a noble concubine, how about it?" Shen Lian looked at Ran Ning eagerly, he admired Ran Ning's beauty, and every time he saw him, he couldn't extricate himself.

Ran Ning chuckled, with a little disdain in her smile, "Shen Gongzi wants to emulate Empress E, but did you ask me if I want to?" The eldest sister Lan Zhihui is very compatible with Shen Gongzi, I hope that Shen Gongzi will cherish the eldest sister and don't have any more ridiculous thoughts. ”

Ran Ning felt that she might really mislook at Shen Lian, although filial piety is the foundation of people, but if you give up what you want for filial piety, you will give up more one day. If she can give up, she doesn't necessarily like it much, so why should she bother with such a person? Moreover, even if she is a noble concubine, she is just a concubine. Although she Ran Ning did not dare to hope to become a wife, she would never marry a man who looked down on him.

"Ning'er, why can't you be considerate of me? Now that the Zhao family is getting the holy will, if I get fame, I will inevitably ask someone to bring me a few points, and it just so happens that the Zhao family is also interested in me, and we are just mutually beneficial. Shen Lian said.

"Shen Gongzi doesn't really need me to be considerate of anything. I wish Shen Gongzi a prosperous career and a prosperous official fortune. Ran Ning didn't want to say anything more to him, so she turned around and was about to leave.

Shen Lian still didn't want to give up, so he immediately blocked her way and said, "Ning'er, do you really want to ignore my sincerity to you?" ”

Wholehearted? Ran Ning wanted to laugh very much, Shen Lian's sincerity was probably as true as her hypocrisy.

"Shen Gongzi, it's getting late, I'm afraid it won't be reasonable for you to stop me again." Ran Ning had seen enough of Shen Lian's face, she might have been a little sad before, but now, if Ran Xiao likes it, just take it.

There were a lot of people on the road, and Shen Lian didn't dare to be too presumptuous, he was also afraid that if people saw him pulling and pulling with Ran Ning, and it reached the ears of the Zhao family, his plan would be ruined.

Ran Ning didn't pay attention to him anymore and left with Bizhu.

In the ancestral hall of the Ran family, the Yu family was sitting at a small table transcribing the women's rules. Because the ancestral hall is a clean place, it is not suitable to wear heavy makeup, so Yu simply coiled his hair and brought a plain silver hairpin, and his plain face was a little haggard than usual, but the posture of the master mother did not decrease at all.

The door opened from the outside, and Ran Ji walked in with a food box, and couldn't help but blush when she saw her haggard mother.

Yu Shi looked up and saw Ran Ji, put down the brush in his hand, and said with a smile: "Ji'er is here?" Come over here, let Wei Niang take a look. ”

"Mother." Ran Ji walked over quickly, knelt beside Yu, and the food box was put aside, "My daughter is not filial, so I can't let my father let you out for the time being." ”

"It doesn't matter." Yu smiled and touched Ran Jiao's delicate face, and said, "Mother is also here to be pure." ”

Ran Ji blinked back her tears and said, "Mother, I brought some new snacks from the kitchen, you can taste them." As he spoke, he opened the food box and placed the contents on the table one by one.

Even if the Yu family is grounded, it is also the mother of the house, as long as the name is still there, the people do not dare to slack off, but in this ancestral hall, food and clothing must be vegetarian, in order to show respect to the ancestors. It was forbidden for Ran Ji to come to visit, but she was a girl, and no one really dared to stop her, as long as the things she brought did not violate the rules, the servants would turn a blind eye and get by.

Yu Shi ate a piece of dim sum and didn't move anymore, Benguan is here and the weather is hot, she already has a poor appetite, and eating a piece is just to reassure her daughter.

"Mother, why are you doing this?" Ran Ji poured a cup of tea for Yu's family and said: "Ran Ning has no grandfather's support, that is, even grass mustard is not as good, why do you hurt your relationship with your father for many years for her?" ”

Yu sighed slightly, his eyes fell on the distance, "Every time I see Ran Ning, it reminds me of Yuan's slut, and my heart is as uncomfortable as being burned by fire." ”

"Then the Yuan family died early, and now I'm afraid there are no bones left, why should you care about a dead person anymore?" Ran Ji didn't have any impression of the Yuan family, but every time she saw her mother hating the Yuan family like that, she couldn't help but hate it, after all, if there was no Yuan family, her mother would not be so angry. And this disgust gradually spread to Ran Ning. But she still felt that her mother's approach was not worth it.

"Yuan's slut made me laugh at people, even if she died, I couldn't swallow this breath." There was lingering hatred in Yu's eyes.

Back then, the Yu family and the current Wan Ping Bo Ran Jing were married at the behest of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. Although Nanjing doesn't like the Yu family much, he is also respectful. After the Yu family became pregnant, because she couldn't serve Ran Jing, she gave him a concubine, which is now the Zhao family. The Yu family was jealous, originally Ran Jing was not very full of Zhao's family, but because she was still a childless daughter-in-law at that time, and the baby she was pregnant with did not know men and women, so she had to endure this breath and wanted to wait for her to give birth to a son and then clean up the Zhao family.

As a result, her son was born, but she was busy taking care of her son, and the Zhao family didn't deal with it, so Ran Jing carried the Yuan family into the door again. Yuan's is beautiful, and he is good at musical instruments, and Ran Jing's love for Yuan is even greater, and he can even be regarded as a special pet. Except for the first and fifteenth days of each month, he stayed in Yuan's room most of the time, and on the days when it was inconvenient for Yuan, Ran Jing usually went to Zhao's place, but not to Yu's, which made Yu's jealousy even heavier.

The Yuan family has always been low-key, but despite this, she is just a concubine, but Ran Jing's love for her was once rumored to be a beautiful talk, although there were occasional words about the concubine killing his wife, but Ran Jing did not mention the matter of Hugh Yu's family, and the Yu family was still in charge of their house, and the Yuan family had no power at all, so this kind of talk was quickly suppressed. As the main room, Yu's inevitably had to socialize with some ladies. Some people who are not used to seeing Yu's jealousy but pretend to be kind and generous will take Yuan's out to talk about things, seemingly envying Yuan's deep relationship with Ran Jing, but in fact, they are satirizing Yu's begging.

Although Yu was silent on the surface, this account had long been remembered by her. However, the Yuan family is also blessed, and he went not long after giving birth to Ran Ning. Yu originally felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect Ran Jing to announce that he would no longer take concubines, which couldn't help but make people sigh again Ran Jing's deep affection for Yuan, and Yu felt like he had been slapped in the face, which was painful and embarrassing, so Yu transferred his hatred to Ran Ning, but Ran Ning was protected by Lao Wan Pingbo, and she didn't dare to do anything recklessly.

As for the Zhao family, because the Zhao family has become more and more sacred, the Yu family does not dare to really take the Zhao family. even blamed the Yuan family for missing the good opportunity to clean up the Zhao family, and then hated Ran Ning even more.

Every time she thinks of these past events, she makes Yu feel like someone is slashing her heart one by one. Yu raised his hand and touched Ran Ji's face, and said, "That's about the end of my life." But Ji'er, your mother will never let Ran Xiao and Ran Ning live better than you, you have to fight for your mother. ”

"Yes, my daughter knows." Ran Ji responded.

At this point, Ran Ji has inherited the Yu family completely, she can't see that Ran Xiao and Ran Ning are better than her, although she can't say it, but every time she sees Ran Xiao and Ran Ning stronger than her, the jealousy in her heart grows like a weed like crazy, burning endlessly.

"By the way, mother, I heard from someone that the Shen family came to propose to Ran Xiao, and it seems that Shen Gongzi also came with him." Ran Ji said, "Then the Shen family is indeed a good one, if it really happens, it will be cheaper for Ran Xiao." ”

Yu Shi smiled and said, "Silly girl, it's not certain whether this thing can be done." ”

"What does Mother mean?" Ran Ji was puzzled.

"That Shen family's son likes Ran Ning. You said that you want Ran Ning to know, will it make trouble? Even if Ran Ning doesn't make trouble, Ran Xiao won't stop knowing it. Ran Xiao's temperament can't afford big things, but he is always self-righteous, and like the Zhao family, he thinks too highly of himself. Yu smiled.

Ran Ji looked at Yu with wide eyes, she really didn't know what was going on. After a long time, he seemed to have figured it out, and coquettishly hugged Yu's arm and said, "It turns out that my mother is planning this, and my mother is wise." ”

Both mother and daughter were complacent about this plan, but they didn't expect Ran Ning to guess it a long time ago.

After eating outside, I went to a few time-honored dim sum shops to buy some dim sum, and it was not early at this time, so Ran Ning walked back with Bizhu. Today, a new troupe has come to Beijing, and they are setting up a stage and babbling and singing on the street. Ran Ning didn't want to crowd with people, so she picked a small path.

Most of the houses on the side roads are home, and they may all go to the street at this time, but it is also quiet. Bizhu carried the lantern and followed Ran Ning back, the lantern was dimly lit, and only a short distance could be seen. Walking into a remote alley, the faint light of the lantern was on the ground, and the surroundings were very quiet, and suddenly a water stain suddenly entered in the faint light of the steps, but it did not look like water. Ran Ning was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to block Bizhu who was about to continue walking. Bizhu was also a little puzzled, and raised the lantern a little higher-

"Ahhh

In the scream, Ran Ning seemed to see a figure flash in a hurry, and disappeared into the darkness of the alley in the blink of an eye......
