Chapter 21: The Yellow Mansion (II)

"Get up" Half a sound, a loud male voice like a morning bell and a dusk drum sounded on Nalan Qi's head, and she felt a torch-like gaze on her, burning her from trembling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She seems to have returned to her previous life, that rainy day.

"Nalan Qi, don't deceive yourself! Look at your Nalan family, your grandmother is sick and seriously ill; Your uncle died on the battlefield, and his bones were gone; Your third master retired to the mountains and forests, and there was no news! Your Nalan family has fallen apart and is vulnerable. Look at yourself again, and your face will be ruined, and your face will be as if there is no salt. Our Huang family is also willing to marry you because of the fate of our in-laws, who pity you! What if my grandson is an idiot? Nalan Qi, this is your life, the life of your Nalan family! “

Nalan Qi clearly remembered that that day, the sky was as if it had collapsed, and the overwhelming rain poured down wildly, hitting her head, body and heart. And Huang Shangshu stood in front of her with a dignified manner, smiling and saying those shameless words. His voice was as deep as it is today, even with a hint of compassion, as if it had given her a great favor.

She ran, screaming, and even if her shoes fell off, she ran barefoot in the rain desperately, but there were people on all sides, and she couldn't escape. And the one who was going to ruin everything for her was just standing under the eaves and looking at her like a little beast or a plaything.

"Qi'er, you kid is so clever on weekdays, why are you so scared today?" The new lady's soft voice sounded, and Nalan Qi came back to his senses violently.

"The dragon in this house is burning, the warmth is thick, I just got a little rain, and suddenly entered the house and rushed with this heat, a little dizzy, it was Qi'er who was presumptuous." Nalan Qi's legs were stiff, her heart couldn't stop beating because of anger, she almost couldn't control herself, to tear off Huang Shangshu, tear off the entire Huang family's sanctimonious skin. But in the end, she just embedded her nails deep in her palms, sobered herself up from the pain, lowered her head and explained softly.

"Yi Lian, you are really blessed, you have such a well-behaved and lovely daughter for no reason. Bitter and sweet, happy for your father. Huang Shangshu took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Father, don't say it, I love Qi'er as soon as I see it. Look at the nose and eyes, don't they look like I gave birth to them? The new lady hurriedly stood up, pulled Nalan Qi to sit down beside her, and smiled.

"Grandfather, you're really eccentric. You often teach the sages to be punctual, and the unscrupulous to keep their orders. We have always asked for a visit to the elders in the country before noon, Sister Qi'er is almost a quarter of an hour late today, and you praise her for being well-behaved and cute. Nalan Yu, who had been sitting quietly in the chair, suddenly covered her mouth and smiled.

"Concubine, don't talk too much! Your sister is also visiting your grandfather's house for the first time, and it is understandable that she is a quarter of an hour late. The new lady glared at her daughter anxiously and whispered.

If it was in his previous life, Nalan Qi would definitely think that his stepmother really loved him and solved the siege for himself. But now, no, she clearly saw the smugness in her stepmother's eyes, the mother and daughter were just playing double reeds.

"There has always been no rule in our house to visit elders." Mrs. Huang, who had been sitting silently in the pit, spoke indifferently, and Nalan Qi raised her head and met a pair of warm eyes. "When I see you child, it is like seeing an old friend, and my heart is really happy." As soon as Mrs. Huang's words fell, the room suddenly fell silent, but she turned a deaf ear and beckoned Nalan Qi to come closer.

"Your eyebrows and eyes are really like my father." The room became more and more silent, Madame Huang's father, Xuanyuan's criminal minister, his name was taboo in the entire country of Tammo.

"Madame is sick again! No one will take her down yet! Huang Shangshu frowned and commanded sharply.

"The servants of Lord Shangshu are busy, I have my own legs and can walk." Madam Huang raised her eyebrows slightly, and Yun smiled lightly. She and Nalan Qi's grandmother are the same age, but their temples have long been gray.

This woman has gone through too many hardships and ups and downs in her life. When she was young, she was sent to a bitter cold place with her husband; In the following ten years, I broke my fingers day by day, guarding the children to grow up; When she was about to live out her old age, her family rebelled, and her husband carried a butcher's knife and killed her parents and brothers.

"Be careful, in this world, there is no shortage of cows, ghosts, gods and snakes." Madame Huang walked forward as if talking to herself, and Nalan Qi watched her back disappear little by little at the curtain.
