Chapter Fifty-Eight
Zhen all knelt down, Du Yunru and Du Yunluo couldn't sit there as wood, glanced at each other, and knelt behind Zhen in a proper manner.
Old Lady Xia's gaze swept over the two silk flowers on Du Yunluo's head, her face was expressionless, and she didn't scream.
With such a posture, the hearts of a room of people are becoming more and more bottomless.
Miao tilted his head and sighed, even Du Yunluo, who couldn't beat the heart and liver that couldn't be beaten by the eight poles, was accompanied by Du Yunluo, and the rest of them could escape?
The maids and ladies were transparent, silent, and kneeled on tiptoe.
In the east room, except for the two who were sitting on the Luohan bed, the rest of the people were kneeling.
When the three brothers of Du Yunlang got the news, they didn't dare to hold it up, so they went to Lianfu Garden together.
There was such an atmosphere inside, the little maid who opened the curtain did not dare to report it with a bitter face, and the brothers did not embarrass her, and knelt on the corridor in front of the main house.
This kneeling was half an hour, and it was not until the Western clock struck that Du Gongfu cleared his throat.
Mrs. Xia understood, picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea that had been cooled, and said lightly: "Get up and explain the matter." Laneige, you let Yunlang and them in. ”
Laneige got up and hurried out to summon someone.
After Du Yunluo got up, she and Du Yunru helped Zhen up, knelt down for a long time, her knees were sore and painful, but in front of Du Gongfu and Mrs. Xia, no one dared to rub them, so they could only grit their teeth and endure it, sitting and standing according to their seniority.
Miao was worried all night, he didn't sleep well at all, and he knelt for half an hour as soon as he came, and the whole person was a little dizzy.
She pressed her eyebrows and said, "Old lady, old lady, yesterday was ......"
"You went with you yesterday?" Old Madam Xia directly raised her voice and interrupted Miao's words.
Miao lowered his head: "No." ”
"You didn't go, what can you explain?" Old Lady Xia snorted coldly, her eyes turned on Du Yunying and Du Yunnuo's faces, and said, "You two say it yourself." ”
Du Yunnuo bit his lower lip, his eyes were shining, he opened his mouth, and did not spit out a word.
Du Yunying saw it in her eyes, and said in her heart that Du Yunnuo was still so frightened, but she was afraid that Mrs. Xia would lose her temper again, so she secretly evened out her breath and said, "Grandfather, grandmother, this is the case." When we got to the river, it was already crowded.
Originally, my brothers were with us, but when we got to the shore, we met many sisters, many of whom were acquaintances, so I went over to say hello. ”
Du Yunying paused when she said this, and turned her eyes to look at Du Yunluo, Du Yunluo was a little inexplicable, and only heard Du Yunying say: "The county lord of Anran is also here." ”
The four words of An Ran's county lord made Du Yunluo frown subconsciously.
Could it be that it was the county lord of Anran who embarrassed Du Yunying and Du Yunnuo, so much so that he burned the river lantern?
The thought crossed his mind, and Du Yunluo denied it first.
The county lord of An Ran is also Du Yunnuo's cousin, the Liao family and Aunt Liao have moved around a lot, and no matter how arrogant the county lord of An Ran is, he will not burn Du Yunnuo's hair.
"She is the county lord and the niece of the fourth aunt, so we came forward to say hello, and the county lord was not very happy to see us, and then ......"
According to Du Yunying's statement, the county lord of An Ran went with many good friends, and when she met Du Yunnuo and Du Yunying, she was annoyed, but she still cared about the faces of her relatives, and did not embarrass them, and two girls who were familiar with Du Yunnuo even invited them to put river lanterns together.
Du Yunnuo did not refuse, and Du Yunlang's brothers couldn't stay among the girls all the time, so they left far away, leaving only the mother-in-law and maids to take care of them carefully.
Then, they met Lord Huijun.
Between the county lord of Hui and the county lord of Anran, there has always been a disagreement between face and heart.
Seeing that Du Yunnuo and An Ran County Lord said a few words, Lord Hui County covered his lips and smiled: "Sister An Ran is really generous, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to leave this face." ”
What kind of temper is the county lord of An Ran, such a mocking sentence fell in his ears, and he trembled with anger.
For Du Yunnuo, An Ran County mainly cares about Aunt Liao's face, but for the county lord of Hui, she is not so particular, and immediately stabbed her teeth and mouth.
The two quarreled, which one dared to stop them? There are also those who have the courage to persuade openly and secretly, and they are out of control.
The county lord of Hui raised his hand to hit the county lord An Ran, and when the two of them moved, they knocked over the river lantern in the hand of the maid and lit the collar of Du Yunnuo's green makeup and gauze long jacket.
Du Yunnuo was stunned and didn't come back to his senses, and the people around him suddenly screamed and dispersed, and even the two initiators stood there stunned.
Seeing that Du Yunnuo's hair hanging on his back was burning, Du Yunying rushed over in a panic, waving her sleeves to extinguish the fire for Du Yunnuo, and she didn't even feel pain when her fingers were burned.
Du Yunying moved, the maids and daughters of the Du family came back to their senses and hurriedly helped put out the fire, and Du Yunnuowa cried.
When the Du Yunlang brothers heard the movement, they were dumbfounded, afraid that if the hair burned again, something serious would happen, so he took out a knife from his arms and cut off the smoking hair.
The frightened Du Yunnuo was helped back to the carriage, and they had no intention of putting on the lights again and returning home.
After Du Yunying finished speaking, the whole person couldn't help but shudder, she lowered her eyes and looked at her still red fingers, only to feel a wave of pain surging up in her heart again.
When she came back last night, Miao asked her why she rushed over to put out the fire like crazy, she and Du Yunnuo were not heart-to-heart sisters at all, and there were so many maids and women, why did she bother.
Du Yunying didn't answer a word, and her mind was blank.
When she saw the collar burning on the back of Du Yunnuo's neck, her mind was also blank.
She didn't think about anything at all, she just instinctively pounced.
It wasn't until the fire was extinguished that she stood by the river and looked at the group of frightened or stunned or indifferent noblewomen, she thought that no matter what her relationship with Du Yunnuo was secretly, they were both surnamed Du, and she didn't want to make them laugh in front of these people.
After listening to Du Yunying, Mrs. Xia said, "Yunnuo, is that the case?" ”
Du Yunnuo hung his head and nodded slowly.
Liao Shi took out a handkerchief, pressed the corner of his eye, took out a brocade handkerchief from the cuff, opened it and held it in front of Mrs. Xia with both hands: "This is Yun Nuo's hair that Yun Lang cut off yesterday, and I brought it back." ”
Du Yunluo looked over, the long black hair, where one end was near the top, burned yellow and dry, and even had a burning smell.
Seeing the broken hair, Du Yunnuo instinctively raised her hand to touch the back of her neck, and when she touched the hair that was a lot shorter, she bit her lip and wanted to cry again.
Mrs. Xia motioned for Liao to put away her things and said, "After the matter is over, do you know what went wrong?" ”
Du Yunnuo looked up in amazement, it was clear, it was clear that she and Du Yunying were both victims, the county lord of An Ran and the county of Hui took the initiative, what was wrong with them?
