Chapter 60: I'm Worried

"Cough, cough ......" Yueying probably wanted to speak eagerly, but forgot to cover the rice in her mouth, so she choked and coughed non-stop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Slow down." I said angrily, got up and poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

Yue Ying covered her mouth with a handkerchief, relieved for a while, and said: "Guan Niang values the eldest lady of the Jiang family very much, over the years, the eldest lady of the Jiang family has done a lot of things with Xuan Niang by her side, so Xuan Niang wanted to hand over the grange to the eldest lady of the Jiang family to take care of in the future, and suddenly this happened, Xuan Niang was very surprised......

As she spoke, she became at a loss and muttered, "However, can't the eldest lady of the Jiang family help Guanniang take care of the grange after she gets married?" Why? ā€

It's not that it can't, it's just that it's not very convenient. If she is married, she is the daughter-in-law of other people, and she has to play two different roles in order to manage both the family and the entire grange. She was to establish authority throughout the grange, and she was to obey the rules of husband and wife, and to be obedient to her husband. It's not easy to deal with that.

Moreover, her marriage to Liu Shilang will definitely cause controversy for her, and if you want her to take care of the Grange in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.

My heart opened up a little, and I couldn't help but be a little curious about the eldest lady of the Jiang family. It's just that I was busy all day today and didn't see her by Guanniang's side. But there are so many maids, could it be that Guan Niang deliberately didn't introduce her to me. It stands to reason that Xuan Niang should let her follow.

"Have you ever seen the eldest lady of the Jiang family?" I asked Yueying.

"I didn't see it, Guixiang said that she was sick and it was inconvenient to come out to meet people."

I took a mouthful of rice and chewed it slowly in my mouth, thinking to myself, it's fake to be sick, and it's true that it's inconvenient to see people. After all, it is on the cusp of the storm, and it can cause less controversy behind closed doors. But in this way, isn't Liu Shilang the only one carrying it outside?

"Then is the eldest lady of the Jiang family also willing to marry Liu Shilang?" I asked.

"It should be, otherwise why did Liu Shilang say that he had a relationship with the eldest lady of the Jiang family?"

"People didn't come out to say anything." I said.

"Sooner or later, Xuan Niang will go to the eldest lady of the Jiang family tonight." Yue Ying paused after speaking, and asked me again, "Which side will Zhu Niang stand on?" ā€

This is not something that can be solved by taking sides. I told Yueying, "We can't talk nonsense. Since people are looking for Xuan Niang, it will be handled by Xuan Niang. If Guan Niang felt that it was necessary, she would naturally tell me. ā€

"Uh-huh." Yue Ying nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, Zhu Niang, I won't keep my tongue open." ā€

The meal took longer than usual, and when the meal was over, a little maid brought another bowl of soup stewed with white fungus, lotus leaves and barley, saying that it was prepared by Xuan Niang.

Guan Niang is really careful and proper. I beckoned to the little maid and said, "Give this soup to Guanniang as well, she has been running with me during the day, and she has to work hard at night, so she should take care of her body." ā€

When the little maid saw that I had rewarded Xuan Niang, her expression immediately became very happy, and she happily responded and went down.

Early the next morning, I freshened up, and I didn't sit in the hall for long, when Yueying told me that Guanniang came to me.

I wondered a little in my heart, after a busy day yesterday, most of the affairs of the Grange were over, and the rest was nothing more than to tell me about the accounts on the Grange. And it's all written down in the ledger, and you can take it back with you when the time comes.

She also had to take care of some of the daily things of the Grange, and she didn't have to come to see me so early.

With these doubts in mind, I asked Yueying to invite her to the upper room.

After Guan Niang entered the door, she greeted me and thanked me for the bowl of soup she gave her last night.

She was so relieved about such a trivial matter, and she came over early to thank me. I was amazed and a little admired, so I sat her down and talked with her about some of the morning's arrangements.

But Guan Niang seemed a little absent-minded, and seemed to have something else in her heart.

Sure enough, without saying a few words to me, she said: "There was an incident in the Zhuangzi yesterday, and I haven't had time to tell the young lady yet, so I will explain it to the young lady today, and the young lady can help me get an idea." ā€

I vaguely felt that she was going to tell me about Liu Shilang and the eldest lady of the Jiang family, and I couldn't help but wonder that I hadn't asked about it, how could she take the initiative to mention it to me?

Guan Niang sat on the chair, her expression was a little uneasy, and she told me about Liu Shilang and the eldest lady of the Jiang family in detail, which was more detailed than what Yueying told me yesterday.

Speaking of later, Xuan Niang said: "When the young lady asked the maid to bring me soup last night, I was at the eldest lady of the Jiang family, because I was worried that it would disturb the young lady too late, so I didn't talk to the young lady yesterday." After that, he raised his eyelids and looked at me again, and said, "Please don't blame the young lady." ā€

I suddenly understood that the reason why Guanniang came here so early was mainly to make amends with me.

She thought I was reminding her that I was not hiding it from me by bringing her the soup last night. After all, in her opinion, she is the master of the grange, and I am her master, and I, the young lady, have the right to know what happened.

But I can pat my chest and say that when I asked the maid to bring her soup, I definitely didn't think about it. I just understand that it is not easy for her to take care of the Grange as a woman, so I did that.

But she thought I was beating her up and giving her a boost, so she came to me to make amends.

I suddenly felt a little crying and laughing.

Since she has said everything, I naturally want to reply to her well.

Yue Ying brought the tea and stood aside.

I pursed my lips and smiled, and said to Xuan Niang: "Xuan Niang is too worried, I don't mean to blame you." The people of the Liu family want you to deal with this matter, so naturally they want you to come forward. Besides, I've just come to the Grange, and I'm not very familiar with the affairs of the Grange, so it's up to you to decide these things. ā€

Qian Niang's face looked a little embarrassed.

I said gently: "You went to see the eldest lady of the Jiang family last night, so what did she say?" ā€

Guan Niang replied: "I asked, and she said that she didn't want to marry Liu Shilang. ā€

Oh? Don't want to. So there is also a reason for her illness?

Although I don't know what the relationship between the eldest lady of the Jiang family and Liu Shilang was before, I think, if the two have nothing to do with each other, how could Liu Shilang tell his father and mother for no reason that he asked for the eldest lady of the Jiang family?

And Yueying also told me that others think that the two are secretly getting along. This shows that there is still affection between them.

Is the eldest lady of the Jiang family really unwilling to marry Liu Shilang?

I tapped the bowl with my fingers for a while, but there was no sound for a long time.

Qian Niang probably expected this to happen, so she said again: "The eldest lady of the Jiang family also came with me, just outside the courtyard." ā€
