"Mother." Cui Yi entered the door and saluted to the old lady Cui on the first seat, and Xie immediately followed suit.

The old lady hummed lightly and pointed to the position beside her, "Ah Yi, come and sit." ”

Cui Yi answered and sat next to the old lady, but Xie didn't dare to sit, just stood at the bottom of the hall, waiting for the old lady to ask.

"You went to Yang's house? How so? The old lady lifted her eyelids and looked at Xie.

"Back to my mother, the Yang family didn't blame me, it seems that they don't know about this matter yet!" Xie Shi glanced at Lu Qinghuan and said, "I'm afraid that this matter is just two little girls messing around!" ”

With a "snap", Mrs. Cui put the teacup in her hand on the table in front of her, which frightened Xie's eyes, and only heard her scold: "No matter what, we can't bully others and pretend not to know!" No matter what the cause of this incident is, since it is the lady of his Yang family who suffers, then our Cui family must come to apologize! ”

Mrs. Cui's meaning is very simple, no matter who picks the matter first, but Lu Qinghuan beat someone and lost reason, so she must admit her mistake and apologize.

Xie Shi didn't dare to argue, so he responded in a low voice, and pleaded with the old lady again: "Qinghuan only came to the house after all, and she doesn't understand the general rules, this time, just spare her!" ”

"I'm provincial." The old lady said lightly, and her eyes fell on Lu Qinghuan, her eyes were like cold air, condensed into frost: "Qinghuan, you live in the Cui family now, every word and deed represents the face of the Cui family, no matter how the Yang family's fifth mother provokes you, you can't be so reckless?" Remember? ”

"Remember."

"Good. This time, I will punish you lightly, if there is a next time. Not only you, but all the maidservants around you will be punished! Got it? ”

"Yes, grandmother." Lu Qinghuan gritted his teeth and endured the grievances, nodding silently, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

She knew that she was in Chang'an. is like an ant that everyone can crush to death, if she dares to offend the old lady, she will definitely live in Chang'an in the future. It's going to be tough.

"Excellent! Let's go, go to the ancestral hall to live for a few days, and temper and temper the mind. Old Madam Cui waved her hand and gave an order.

Cui Yi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, frowned slightly. What do you want to say. Seeing that Xie shook his head almost undetectably, he sighed to himself, and finally said nothing.

In this way, Lu Qinghuan innocently entered the ancestral hall and was confined.

It was said to be a few days, but the maid who sent her in said that the minimum confinement was seven days, in other words. She's going to stay here for at least seven days.

Looking at the gloomy and dim ancestral hall, Lu Qinghuan couldn't help but secretly curse for being unlucky. If it weren't for Yang Bijun's guy pestering her to compete, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

That's it, what comes is safe.

Lu Qinghuan looked very open, anyway, there was less than a month before the exam, so she took the opportunity to review the dossier prepared for her by Pei Yuan in the past few days, so that she could take the exam calmly.

Lu Qinghuan was sent to the ancestral hall, but Yingge was not allowed to accompany him, so he had to go back to Cuiguangyuan to pack up some clothes and belongings, and took all the files prepared by Pei Yuan and sent them to the ancestral hall.

Let's say that Lu Qinghuan was led to the ancestral hall by the maidservant, and only Cui Yi and Xie were left in the old lady's room.

Cui Yi said lightly: "Why is my mother so strict with Qing Huan? ”

"You think I'm deliberately making things difficult for her?" The old lady snorted coldly in displeasure and said, "Isn't she determined to enter the government and the opposition?" Offending the Yang family at this time, is it difficult or a good thing? Also, with such a reckless and impulsive temperament, there is only one way to die when she enters the officialdom, and if she doesn't get it right, she will even affect the Cui family! ”

said so much, in fact, it was indeed for Lu Qinghuan's good, although this kind of goodness was all because he was worried that Lu Qinghuan would affect the Cui family.

As soon as Lu Qinghuan entered the mansion, Mrs. Cui has been worried, worried that this granddaughter, whose reputation has long spread all over Chang'an, will ruin the Cui family's reputation!

This incident was deliberately made by her to make a big fuss to show her vigilance!

Cui Yi didn't understand the truth in the meantime, but he couldn't stand Lu Qinghuan, who had the same eyebrows as Cui's, and was treated like this.

Since the old lady has said so, what else can he say?

sat with Mrs. Cui for a while, had dinner together, and waited until Mrs. Cui was about to take a nap, and then left with Xie.

Xie Shi followed behind Cui Yi, the two were unhurried, always separated by a step, and seemed to be within reach, but Xie Shi knew in his heart that the man in front of him would always be beyond her reach.

She lowered the corners of her eyes bitterly, secretly mocking herself, and even hoped that she could use her warmth for many years to impress Cui Yi.

But she knew that Cui Yi's heart was as hard as iron.

Back then, she resisted the opposition of her family, almost broke with her mother, and insisted on marrying into the Cui family and becoming the sister-in-law of the Cui family. She thought that with her close relationship with Cui's, Cui's might be able to accept the reality slowly, but she didn't expect her to leave Chang'an and go to Jiangnan.

This time it has completely become a gulf between her and Cui Yi.

Seventeen years!

In the past seventeen years, Cui Yi has been indifferent to her, and she can't say badly, but she always feels like something is missing.

But just now, she clearly found what she was missing from the way he looked at Lu Qinghuan, which was a kind of heartfelt concern and pity.

If you say that you don't hate or jealousy, how can you be? But as long as he thought of such a wonderful person, because he got married, and finally left the country, Xie's heart was full of remorse.

She knew that Cui Yi didn't love her, why did she marry in? forced Cui's to go to Jiangnan, but Cui's died, and Cui Yi's heart also died.

The memories made Xie unbearable, she closed her eyes and wiped away the moist feeling in her eyes. At this time, Cui Yi in front of him suddenly stopped, Xie Shi didn't notice it, and hit Cui Yi's back headlong, and couldn't help but snort in pain.

"What's wrong? What do you want to get into the mind like this? Cui Yi turned around and spoke lightly, when her eyes fell on Xie's reddish eyes, she was slightly stunned, and stretched out her hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and her tone softened: "What's wrong?" But is it because your mother is too you? ”

Xie Shi shook his head, his lips pursed tightly, trying to remind himself not to sink into the warmth that Cui Yi occasionally revealed, but he still softened his heart in his eyes.

"It's okay, it's just that the sand is blinding......"

Cui Yi glanced at Xie Shi carefully, and the cold water droplets remaining on the tips of his fingers made him feel ashamed, and he couldn't help but say softly: "You have worked hard in the past few days, and I happen to be fine today, so I will stay in the house to accompany you!" ”

Xie Shi's heart trembled slightly, and he replied with a red face: "Okay." (To be continued.) )
