Chapter 158: The Old Lady Speaks
"Sister Ruoxi is really joking, I know that Brother Xuan is good to me because we grew up together with affection, and besides, he has always been so good to me since I was a child. ”
"Really, I really haven't heard the second brother talk about you?"
A trace of anger appeared on Zhao Ningxin's face, but Zhao Ningxin knew that he couldn't turn his face with Liu Ruoxi now, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled, "I think Brother Xuan doesn't want to tell others the secret that I and him have to be told to others." ”
"Then Ning Xin is fine, I'll leave first, I still have to hurry. Liu Ruoxi didn't want to talk to Zhao Ningxin anymore, and it was not interesting to talk too much.
Zhao Ningxin hesitated for a long time and said, "I came today to tell Sister Ruoxi that I will go back soon." ”
Liu Ruoxi was puzzled, the Shangguan family had already withdrawn from the court and settled down in this summer resort, why did he want to go back to the imperial city?" "Is the Shangguan family going back to have a look?"
Zhao Ningxin shook his head, "No, my grandfather decided to stay in the imperial city in the future, saying that Brother Xuan had just returned to the palace If there is no backer behind him, life will definitely be very difficult, and he wants to go back to save face for Brother Xuan." ”
Liu Ruoxi can also understand Shangguan Xiande's approach, after all, he has been in the court for so long, and he has long understood that there is darkness inside, if a prince has no backing, it will definitely be a difficult time.
"Sister Ruoxi, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Ning was pleased to see that Liu Ruoxi lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't speak.
Liu Ruoxi reacted and said, "It's okay, then I'll wait for you in the Imperial City." ”
"Well, then I wish Sister Ruoxi a smooth journey. Zhao Ningxin originally wanted to see if Xiao Wenxuan had sent a letter to Liu Ruoxi, but Liu Ruoxi's reaction should not have been, Zhao Ningxin was relieved now, Brother Xuan did not write to himself, nor did he write to Liu Ruoxi, indicating that in Brother Xuan's heart, he was the same as Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi and Zhao Ningxin said goodbye and got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly ran forward...
Ziyi asked worriedly, "Miss, what did Miss Zhao Ningxin say to you?"
"I didn't say anything, I just came to show off that my second brother had asked her doctor to see a doctor. Liu Ruoxi said funny.
"Huh?" Ziyi was a little surprised, she didn't expect that Zhao Ningxin was so weak that she also had a scheming heart, and wanted to provoke the relationship between the master and the young lady. "Then young lady, don't care what she says, the master asked her for a doctor because she saved the old lady. ”
Liu Ruoxi knew that Ziyi had misunderstood herself, so she smiled and said, "I didn't think about it that much, I think the second brother knows what he does, and I believe in him." ”
Ziyi nodded, "Miss, it's an honor for the master to have you." ”
Liu Ruoxi smiled and glanced at Ziyi, "When will Ziyi say sweet things?" Look at the time Qingmei has taken you badly. ”
Qingmei became unhappy when she heard this, "Miss, why do you say that I brought the purple clothes badly, I am bringing the purple clothes better and better, you see how good the purple clothes are lively now." ”
"Okay, you're the best. ”
Qingmei became proud, "It was meant to be." ”
As soon as Qingmei's voice fell, everyone in the carriage laughed, and Liu Qingyang, who was riding a horse outside, couldn't help but smile when he heard the laughter, the whip shook the horse's buttocks, and the horse ran forward desperately in pain, Liu Lin saw Liu Qingyang run forward with the carriage, and also threw off the whip, and the carriage also chased in the direction of Liu Qingyang...
When the Li family and they arrived at the Dingguo Mansion, it was also in the afternoon, and the Li family got out of the carriage and hurried to the old lady's courtyard with Liu Sewu and Liu Xiyue, everyone knew that the Li family was coming back today, and they all sat at the old lady and waited.
Li Shi entered the house and took Liu Sewu and Liu Xiyue to bless the old lady, "Mother, we are back." ”
The old lady waved her hand, "Let's all get up, didn't I send you a letter a few days ago, why did you come back?"
Seeing that the old lady was angry, Li Shi said worriedly: "Back to my mother, there is still a little delay over there, but I rushed back after I finished dealing with it." ”
Liu Sewu explained for Li: "Grandmother, my mother didn't have time to rest after dealing with those things, and she took us all the way without stopping and hurried back. ”
"Yes, my grandmother sat so tired that I was exhausted. Liu Xiyue complained.
Xiao Wang also stepped forward and said, "Mother, my sister-in-law is tired from riding in a carriage all the way, so don't blame her." ”
The old lady glanced at Xiao Wang unhappily and sighed, "Since I have said so, then I won't say anything." ”
Li glanced at Xiao Wang's gratefully, and said to the old lady again, "Thank you, mother." ”
Liu Baiming said: "Mother, now that the Li family is also back, you can say whatever you want." ”
The old lady looked at everyone sitting and said, "I came to you today for Xiao Wenxuan's matter, you also know now that he is the prince, and I also heard that the emperor is preparing to hold a banquet for him during this time, I want to hear your opinion on this matter?"
Liu Xinzheng said: "Mother, what do we think, he is now the prince, and he doesn't look at our Dingguo Mansion in his eyes, so we will have nothing to do with him in the future." ”
The old lady looked at Liu Baiming, "What about you, Baiming?"
Liu Baiming said: "Mother, I think about the same as my second brother, he is not grateful to Dingguofu, and then our Dingguofu has nothing to do with him." ”
The old lady shook her head when she heard this, and looked at Li expectantly, "What do you think of Li?"
Li can also see that the old lady let herself come back because she wanted to ask her what she thought, after listening to Liu Baiming and Liu Xinzheng's words, seeing that the old lady was not very satisfied, Li thought about it and said: "Mother, I don't know if I'm right or not, just listen to it." ”
As soon as the old lady heard this, she knew that the Li family must have a different idea, and said excitedly: "The Li family is okay to say. ”
Li said: "Xiao Wenxuan was very good to Liu Ruoxi when he was not a prince before, except for Liu Ruoxi, he has always been cold and indifferent to others, and now he is a prince, not to mention anything else, he has lived in Dingguo Mansion for so long, even if he is not grateful, he will not hold a grudge." But the things that the emperor rewarded Liu Ruoxi by name, I think we have to consider his intentions. ”
The old lady nodded, not to lose everyone's beauty, and always think about things deeply," Li continued. ”
Li nodded, and then said: "Xiao Wenxuan asked the emperor to do this, I think he also wanted to give us a hint. After all, when he was in Dingguo Mansion, he saw that Liu Ruoxi had suffered a lot of grievances, and I think he did this to defend Liu Ruoxi in disguise. Li said, Liu Ruoxi was wronged, and deliberately glanced at Liu Xiyue.
Liu Xiyue lowered her head in a loss, Xiao Wang saw that the old lady's face was not good-looking, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, just talk about it, what do you mean by looking at Xiyue? I think Ruoxi, this child, is no longer angry with Xiyue, otherwise he will not intercede for Xiyue." ”
Li said: "Brother and sister, I didn't say anything about Xiyue, what are you doing in such a hurry? I'm just talking about things, if it's wrong, you just listen to it." ”
The old lady glared at Xiao Wang, "Okay, the Li family didn't point it out and said that it was Xiyue's fault, so you don't have to quarrel." The old lady looked at Liu Baiming and Liu Xinzheng and said, "You two big men haven't figured out what a woman from the Li family thinks, you will treat Ruoxi well in the future, I don't think Xiao Wenxuan will treat you badly." ”
Liu Xinzheng saw that his wife and children had been said, and he was also dissatisfied with the Li family, "Mother, I don't think what the sister-in-law said is completely right, if Xiao Wenxuan thinks that what we did is not good for Liu Ruoxi, then why didn't he come out to say it before, I think his meaning should not be like the sister-in-law." ”
Liu Baiming felt that what Li said was also reasonable, but because his mother belittled herself because of what she said, her self-esteem was hit, and she didn't look good at Li's face, "Mother, what can a woman in the Li family understand, don't believe her words too much."
Li felt that Liu Xinzheng said that he still understood, but his father-in-law was also like this, Li was a little disappointed in Liu Baiming, and sighed, "Mother, I just said, you just listen, don't take it too seriously." After Li finished speaking, he stopped talking.
The old lady was really a little disappointed with her two sons, and said ruthlessly: "Actually, I have the same idea as the Li family, I also put cruel words here today, I don't care what you did to Ruoxi before, I hope that you will give me a measure in the future, don't cause any trouble at that time, no one will be able to help you at that time, and if you are careful in the future, you will use it in a normal place for me, and don't do anything embarrassing." After the old lady finished speaking, she also deliberately glanced at Liu Xiyue.
Liu Xiyue felt the old lady's fierce eyes, her head lowered even more, the hands in her sleeves were clenched together, her palms were pinched and bloody, but she didn't feel the pain, and her hatred for Liu Ruoxi in her heart was even stronger, and she secretly swore in her heart that she must make Liu Ruoxi look good in the future, so that she could be wronged today.
Xiao Wang saw that something was wrong with Liu Xiyue, and secretly pulled Liu Xiyue's sleeve, Liu Xiyue looked at Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang shook his head, and Liu Xiyue realized that he was still here with the old lady. Suppressing the hatred in his heart, he smiled reluctantly at Xiao Wang.
After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at everyone's faces, and found that they all lowered their heads, pondering something, and the old lady felt a little comforted in her heart, as long as she could listen to it, she would not be in vain.
"Okay, I'm tired too, you all go down. ”
Liu Baiming took them together to salute the old lady and withdrew.
As soon as he walked out of the old lady's yard, Liu Xinzheng said a few words to Liu Baiming and left with Xiao Wang and Liu Xiyue, Liu Baiming saw that there was no one, and turned his head and glared at Li, "You said that you are a woman, what do you think, it's really embarrassing." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
Liu Sewu walked up to Li's side worriedly, "Mother, are you okay?"
Seeing Liu Baiming like this, Li was really disappointed in him, and he really didn't know why he was soft-hearted and married him, but seeing Liu Sewu's worried eyes, Li smiled and said, "Mother is fine, I'm used to it." ”
