Chapter 69: The Past

"Girl, do you remember?" Mama Chang looked at Liu Ruoxi and asked.

Liu Ruoxi nodded, and now, she remembered something vaguely. She remembered that at that time, with Liu Ruoyuan, Liu Ruojuan, and the eldest sister, several people with the grandmothers and little girls who were waiting for them were all playing under the wisteria. Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan seemed to have some kind of dispute together, and then they didn't hear the voices of the two people for a while, Liu Ruoyuan remembered that she looked up, Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan were no longer under the wisteria, and there were two people's grandmothers and two of their most confidant little girls.

At that time, Liu Ruoyuan didn't care, and then the eldest sister found that Liu Ruojuan was gone, and at that time, Liu Ruoyuan had already come back with someone.

Liu Ruojuan was rescued from the water, invited Lang Zhong to come, and picked up a life. After Liu Ruojuan woke up, she said that Liu Ruoyuan pushed her into the water. Of course Liu Ruoyuan didn't admit it, Liu Ruoyuan's grandmother and girls also testified, Liu Ruoyuan also said that she had always been with Liu Ruoyuan and the eldest sister, and had never left the wisteria trellis, and the eldest sister and the grandmother and girl who served the eldest sister confirmed this.

At that time, Mama Chang found an excuse to protect Liu Ruoxi, but she didn't know anything.

Liu Ruojuan said that she was pushed into the water by Liu Ruoyuan, if this statement, half of the people believed it, but Liu Ruojuan also said something else, which made people doubt the authenticity of what she said.

Liu Ruojuan also said at the time that Mrs. Liu was not her mother, and Liu Ruoyuan was not her biological sister.

It was this sentence that made people suspicious of Liu Ruojuan, and then they didn't know who brought it up. said that Liu Ruojuan may have been fascinated by something unclean in the garden. Next, it is to ask the master to do it.

"At that time. The second girl is not the character she has now. Mama Chang sighed, "That's really clever and sharp." Also loves to talk. ”

"Yes, it's not like now, like a shadow, I only know how to follow the big sister all day long. The big sister said east, she didn't dare to go west. I'm afraid that if the big sister says that the moon is square, she has to follow and say that it is square. Liu Ruojuan said, at that time, Liu Ruojuan often competed with Liu Ruoyuan, competing for favor in front of Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu.

The master who invited the practice. cut down the begonia tree, Liu Ruojuan subsided her fever, came to her senses, and didn't say that Liu Ruoyuan pushed her, and didn't say that Mrs. Liu was not her mother.

After that, Liu Ruojuan's temperament changed dramatically, and she became the taciturn person she is now.

"Mama, I remember, now follow the grandma of the eldest sister and the second sister. Aren't they the two grandmothers who nursed them before? Liu Ruoxi couldn't remember it clearly, so she asked Mama Chang for confirmation.

"The girl remembers right, what happened. The people around the eldest and second girls were punished. The two grandmothers who have served them since they were children were driven out, and a few little girls who served them were also sold. Now the people who serve around the eldest girl and the second girl are all reassigned by the eldest lady later. Mama Chang said.

That's why. Few people remember the events of that year, and they have never heard about it again. The truth/phase has long been submerged.

It's just that I didn't expect that it was Liu Ruoyuan who brought up this matter again.

"It's a pity for that begonia." Liu Ruoxi said.

"Shh Mama Chang hurriedly motioned to Liu Ruoxi to whisper, "Girl, don't mention these two words again." Don't ask why, the old slave doesn't know. …… It's not that the girl should know, or she doesn't know. ”

"Mama, I see." Liu Ruoxi nodded, "Out of this room, I won't say it again." ”

Begonia is almost the forbidden language of the Liu family. Since Liu Ruojuan was bewitched by the begonia flower demon and fell into the water, the Liu family somehow also spread rumors that the garden was haunted. It wasn't until later that a master was invited to do it, and after the begonias by the wisteria trellis were cut down, the begonia trees in several other places in the house were also uprooted one after another, and other flowers and trees were replanted.

It's just that the place next to the wisteria trellis, since the begonias were cut down and any other flowers and trees were planted, they have never been able to survive. In the end, there was no choice but to move a piece of lake stone and press it on the ground. Liu Ruoxi remembered in a trance that she had heard someone say that there were other things pressed under the lake stone.

After moving the lake stone, Liu Ruojuan was naturally already well, and the rumor that the garden was haunted disappeared.

It's just that begonias are still forbidden.

When she was a child, Liu Ruoxi listened to the whispers of her rough mother-in-law in the garden in a trance and mentioned begonias. It's just that the begonias they are talking about are not flowers and trees, but a person, who is the most powerful girl around Mrs. Liu, and her name is Begonia.

That begonia, Liu Ruoxi has never seen it, and she has never heard anyone mention it positively, and a person seems to have disappeared like that, as if it never existed.

Liu Ruoxi rested for a while, and when she saw that the hour was not early, she went to Mrs. Liu's house. Second Master Liu had already returned and brought Liu Yuwen from the front study. Liu Ruoxi played chess with Liu Yuwen, and the second master Liu went to the small study to write a letter, and the second wife called Chang Mama to the side, and spoke in a low voice.

“…… The eldest girl suddenly mentioned this in front of the old lady, I am afraid that she has not discussed it with the eldest lady. Mama Chang frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Just now I asked the fifth and seventh years of the junior high school to go out to inquire, the eldest lady's side, it is very unusual......"

As Mama Chang said, at this moment, the atmosphere in Mrs. Liu's room is different from usual.

Liu Ruoyuan had red eyes and was sitting on the kang to wipe her tears, Liu Da/Grandma couldn't stop comforting her, and Mrs. Liu was sitting opposite Liu Ruoyuan, but her face was red with anger.

“…… You are getting bigger and bigger now, what can you say casually in front of the old lady? Don't talk to me first. Those words are true! Seeing Liu Ruoyuan crying like this, if Mrs. Liu was usually soft-hearted, but today is different, Mrs. Liu is angry, and she is not so easy to soften.

“…… I didn't say anything, it was true, and I didn't make it up. Liu Ruoyuan was not convinced, and was still arguing, "I'm also for the good of the big guy." The second sister went crazy like this today. Although my mother taught her a lesson, I looked at her and was not convinced. It's hard to guarantee that you won't go crazy again next time. If she is outside, she will not live second. All of us have a blank face. Could it be that she became the one and lost all of our family. ”

Liu Ruoyuan was full of words, she felt that she was doing the right thing.

"You, are you for the big guys, or just for yourself?" Mrs. Liu said angrily, "Ask yourself what the hell is it for." It's just that I'm afraid that your sister will get ahead of you and ruin your good deeds. ”

Mrs. Liu usually favored Liu Ruoyuan very much, and counted them unceremoniously like now. is very little. Liu Ruoyuan was told that she was in her heart, so she couldn't stand it, and she cried more and more. She carried Mrs. Liu behind her back and said those words to Mrs. Liu, indeed with the intention of cutting off Liu Ruojuan's back road, afraid that Mrs. Liu would refuse. Yooda/Grandma's kind words of persuasion on the side did not work at all.

"Why are you so anxious!" Mrs. Liu frowned, "Isn't it true that my mother doesn't count in her heart, so she will naturally make arrangements." The best nature is for you. Your second sister won't get in your way, and your mother will make other plans for her. …… As soon as you say this, the old lady won't let your second sister see anyone, what will happen to your second sister in the future. You don't want her to see people. But have you ever thought that if this matter spreads, she will not say goodbye. You, you girl. I'm. ”

Mrs. Liu told all the thoughts of Liu Ruoyuan, and Liu Ruoyuan was inevitably a little weak in front of Mrs. Liu. And she's done it. Mrs. Liu had such an order, and Mrs. Liu was also powerless. Liu Ruoyuan felt that there were no worries, and the joy in her heart was inevitable.

Liu Ruoyuan's cry gradually lowered.

“…… I just mentioned it, and I didn't let my second sister go out for the time being, so that she didn't give up, and everyone who wanted to make trouble was shameless. After a while, I'll talk to the old lady again, and I'll be fine. Liu Ruoyuan whispered.

Mrs. Liu sighed, her brows tightened, and she was not slightly relieved by Liu Ruoyuan's words.

"I don't know how thick the sky is! How many years have you suddenly brought it up, who knows what will happen! Truly my injustice. Mrs. Liu said, and instructed Mrs. Liu/Grandma, "You go and make arrangements, although the old lady has spoken, we can't relax." Don't let today's events get out of the way. …… Pay some money from the bookkeeper, no, don't go to the bookkeeper, out of my private ......"

As she was talking, she heard footsteps in the yard, and the little girl reported that the eldest / master had returned.

Mrs. Liu immediately sat up straight, and hurriedly called for Liu Yujiang to come in.

"How's it going, what's the news?" Waiting for Liu Yujiang to come in and salute Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu couldn't wait to let Liu Yujiang sit down, so she couldn't wait to ask.

"There is no rumor of it, it took a lot of money to spread the word from the eldest princess's mother, who was serving ...... closely, and the little marquis accompanied the eldest princess to the temple to make merits, and has been kneeling for the eldest princess in the apse. I knelt for a long time, and when I got up, I accidentally hit ...... corner of the table, and the rest was fine. Liu Yujiang hurriedly replied to Mrs. Liu.

"Inquiring?" Mrs. Liu listened to it and hurriedly asked again.

"It's true." Liu Yujiang glanced at Mrs. Liu before continuing, "As far as I guess, I'm afraid I also know that we are going to probe the wind, and deliberately let the confidants spread such words to calm our hearts." ”

"I'm relieved." Mrs. Liu said with a sigh of relief.

When something like Liu Ruojuan happened, the Liu family wanted to cover up the past, and it had to depend on what the eldest princess meant. Now it is certain that the eldest princess does not want to pursue this matter, but only if this incident did not happen. This is naturally in line with Mrs. Liu's heart.

"Then you inquire, to our family, to your eldest sister, what kind of tone does the eldest princess have to say?" Mrs. Liu then asked Liu Yujiang again.

"This ...... Not really. Liu Yujiang said, "Mrs. doesn't need to worry too much, with the appearance of the eldest sister, only the eldest sister picks people, who can pick her." Since the eldest princess doesn't have a bad tone, that's a good thing. ”

"I'm afraid, because of such a trouble, although the eldest princess doesn't care about it for the time being, she annoys us in her heart." Mrs. Liu said.

If this is the case, although there will be no major incident, the matter of marrying Liu Ruoyuan into the Hou Mansion will come to naught. That's what Mrs. Liu is worried about.

"Don't worry, madam." Liu Yujiang said, "What kind of person is the eldest princess, and I haven't seen anything like that." Let's take care of a big deal. The eldest princess may not be in her eyes. The eldest prince is mainly looking for a match for the little marquis, in this capital. is really worthy of a noble family, and there is such a good girl. There is no one else but our family. In my opinion, only the eldest sister has such a talent and can support the Hou Mansion. …… The Hou Mansion's edict is not so easy to do. ”

Liu Yujiang's words touched the hearts of Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyuan. Mrs. Liu showed some comfortable smiles on her face, and Liu Ruoyuan on the side had stopped crying for a long time, and her face was a little proud. Looking at Liu Yujiang, it became more and more pleasing to the eye and cordial.

After relaxing her mind, Mrs. Liu remembered to let Liu Yujiang sit while Liu Da/Grandma personally held the tea.

"Why is the big sister crying?" As soon as Liu Yujiang entered the door, he saw Liu Ruoyuan crying, and asked at this time.

"It's not because of the second girl." Mrs. Liu said lightly, and Liu Da/Grandma and Liu Ruoyuan also closed their mouths very tacitly, and did not mention anything about the other party's talents.

"Although the second girl did the left, the reason for this thing is still the third girl's trouble." Mrs. Liu said. "She wants to meet a guest, but she doesn't go. made such a fuss again, if the eldest princess holds a grudge over there, what kind of long room and three rooms can be divided. But it's all on the heads of our big guys. What's going on with these three girls, lately, I've become more and more incomprehensible. …… Don't you know what we're going to do. Want to break up this family business? ”

Because they wanted to hide Liu Ruojuan's affairs, Mrs. Liu and the others were not good at mentioning that Liu Ruojuan had hurt Han Qing. This time. Only then did they start talking about it.

"If you say you know what we're going to do, I'm afraid you do. But if you want to break up this family business. I don't look like it. Liu Da/Grandma said, "She didn't plan to go to the release forest, besides, who knew that she could meet the little marquis there." ”

"That's right." Mrs. Liu felt that what Liu Da/Grandma said was reasonable, and couldn't help but nod.

"It's always her who makes trouble." Liu Ruoyuan had already wiped away her tears at this moment, stood up her eyes and said, "Although it is not good at this time, if it is really because of her, our family has a bad relationship with the eldest princess, and sooner or later we will make her look good!" ”

Mrs. Liu glared at Liu Ruoyuan.

"You don't stop! What I told you was the wind in my ears. If there is anything else, if you do it without consulting me, you will not be spared. Mrs. Liu scolded.

Liu Ruoyuan stopped talking.

"Look, what do the three girls do to Brother Zhang?" Mrs. Liu asked Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma, "It's better to settle their family affairs as soon as possible." ”

"Brother Zhang likes the three girls very much, and the three girls look good to Brother Zhang. The little girl's family is always shy, what else can she do. Liu Da/Grandma said.

"Father and I have both probed the second uncle's tone to see what the second uncle meant, but we have to pay attention to it again." Liu Yujiang said.

"Brother Zhang is also arrogant, and he also said that he will come to propose marriage after high school." Mrs. Liu said, "I'm just afraid that there will be any changes at that time, so it's better to settle down earlier, and everyone can rest assured." ”

"Brother Zhang'er is easy to say here, after all, it will be in the meeting. Just look at the second uncle, the second aunt, and the third girl. Liu Da/Grandma said.

"The second master and the second wife said that they wanted to see Brother Zhang'er's talent and character again, but if the third girl was happy, then the matter would be done." Mrs. Liu seemed to say to herself, "If this matter is not settled early, I see that someone will come to the door to say goodbye to the third girl, in case it ...... Let's stop one, we can't stop all. ”

"It's to think of a way...... "Liu Da/Grandma, Liu Ruoyuan all thought about it.

"There is also the matter of the eldest / master's succession," Mrs. Liu said, "It is really dangerous for the third lady to stir up trouble like that today." As soon as she comes out, she will not stop......"

"With the third wife here, we are always tied up." Liu Da/Grandma also said, "It's too domineering, I don't have any face, I want to think of a way, if I can get rid of her, then everything else will be smooth." ”

"That'...... Let's start from the third wife......" (to be continued......)
