Chapter Twenty-Three: The Snub of My Mother's Family (Part 1)

Qian Ning took a deep breath, she couldn't mess up at this time. Now there are so many more people around than before, staring at themselves. If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that it will be difficult to establish majesty in the future.

Qian Ning thought about it again and again, and first said to Mo's mother: "Mom, you go to Yongmei Zhai to see the situation and see if you can inquire about the situation of the prince and Mrs. Shizi." Xiaolinden is young, so he is afraid that there will be a disobedience. ”

called Mother Li in again: "Mother Li, you go to your mother's place, tell her that the son will return late, and see what your mother says." ”

The two mothers took the order and walked out quickly.

Qian Ning then glanced at the four maids standing in a circle: "You all go down first, there is dew waiting here." ”

When they retreated, Dew couldn't suppress the worry in her heart: "Grandma, how is this good?" Why did Mrs. Shizi make such a fuss at a critical moment, I don't know if it was true or deliberate......"

"Dew! Don't talk nonsense. Qian Ning glared at Dew. Lu immediately swallowed her words, but she was still anxious and concerned: "Grandma, if you miss the door, I'm afraid that your reputation will be damaged in the future......"

"Don't worry, this matter is not only affecting me, it is not good for Changfang, and even for the Hou Mansion. Mother will not sit idly by. And I, no matter what I do now, I always have to make people unhappy, either the prince and the wife of the prince, or the long house, so I simply wait and see what happens. ”

Qianning's words made Lu's heart settle down, and she was no longer anxious, but stood quietly next to her, accompanying Qianning to wait for news.

The first to come back was Mother Mo, and the situation she heard was roughly the same as what Xiao Lin said, but Mother Mo found something in the gossip with Yongmei Zhai's subordinates, and Lian Chengmei specially asked people to bring incense this morning.

People who have served Lian Chengmei know that she doesn't sleep well, and she has to light a special incense to help her sleep, and this incense recipe is unique and not easy to make, so Lian Chengmei cherishes these incense very much, and only lights it when she sleeps. And this trip back to the door, Lian Chengmei actually brought it, did she plan to rest at her mother's house before leaving?

If this is the case, then the so-called physical discomfort is only deliberately done by Lian Chengmei.

Qian Ning smiled bitterly in her heart, she was still in a showdown with Lian Chengmei in the carriage, it seemed that she was still unwilling to let go of herself, and she was pressing step by step. In the future, I am afraid that I can only be her.

It's just that she has taken the lead in returning to the door today, and the incense is just speculation, and there is no full evidence to prove that she did it on purpose, so she can only endure it for now.

Qian Ning smiled at Mo's mother: "Mom has worked hard, go back and rest first." ”

After Mother Mo finished telling everything she knew, she quietly waited for Qian Ning's reaction. It's just that Qian Ning's face is calm, and she doesn't even speak, and there is no trace of being affected by this information at all.

Mother Mo secretly said in her heart, can't this young grandmother hear her own words? Or is she deep in thought and invisible? If it's the latter, then you have to be more cautious about doing things yourself.

With this thought, Mo's mother's attitude became more humble, and she bowed her body and said, "Grandma is still waiting for news here, how can the old slave rest assured?" Let the old slave wait for the letter here. ”

Qian Ning nodded, which was an agreement.

After a while, Li's mother also came back and invited Liu over.

Liu did not make any comments on Lian Chengmei's discomfort in staying at her mother's house, only said that she could not make a mistake when she returned to the door, and Zhao Luoyan and Yu had two rooms that everyone knew, even if she did not return to Lu's house at the same time as Qianning, it was reasonable. Therefore, let Qianning go back first, and then rush to Lu's house to meet after Zhao Luoyan returns.

In the end, he was afraid that Qianning would be unhappy, and Liu Shi was relieved: "It also happened suddenly, otherwise Yan'er would have to go back with you." When I get to my mother's house, you explain it to your in-laws and make amends for me. ”

"Mother, where is this, my husband didn't deliberately not accompany me, there is a reason for it, I think my father and mother will understand."

Liu looked at Qianning's well-behaved appearance, and his heart was also comforted: "You are such a good boy, go quickly, don't let your family wait for a long time." ”

Qian Ning said goodbye, brought dew, Li's mother and Xiao Linden, got into the carriage, and drove towards the Lu family.

There was not a trace of joy at the door of Lu's house to welcome the new aunt and grandmother back to the door, and no one was waiting at the door, but a small guard was left as usual.

Seeing the carriage of the Hou Mansion coming, the janitor stepped forward and asked, "But the second aunt and grandmother are back?" ”

Dew jumped out of the carriage: "Little pockmark, don't you remember our grandmother if you haven't seen you for a few days?" ”

Xiao Mazi saw her acquaintance and laughed: "It's Sister Dew, Xiao Mazi is clumsy, don't mind." ”

"Why are you alone? Our grandmother is back today, you can go in and report it. ”

Xiao Mazi looked embarrassed: "Sister Lushui, Mother Zhao guarded the door for a while, and when she didn't see her aunt come back, she went back to serve Mrs. first, and before leaving, she specially told the little one, saying that if your aunt and grandmother come, she can go directly to the door and ask for peace." ”

Girls who have always been married return to the door, relatives at home are waiting at home, and if it is inconvenient for the female dependents of large families to come out to greet them, they will send their personal mothers or maids to greet them at the door, and even more to set off firecrackers and hang red lights to tell the neighbors that their aunts and grandmothers have returned to the door. And another purpose of such a mobilization is to show the in-laws the importance that the mother's family attaches to the married daughter, so as to support the daughter.

Now there is not even a housekeeper mother at the door of Lu's house, it is deserted, and those who don't know think that Qianning is not going back, but being driven back to her parents' house.

The dew is not good: "What do you mean by this! Where did anyone greet their aunts and grandmothers like this? Xiao Mazi, go in and report, it must be that Zhao's mother is lazy, and Mrs. will not treat our grandma like this! ”

Xiao Mazi was in a dilemma, and he didn't know what to do.

Qian Ning was in the carriage, and she had already heard the conversation outside clearly.

The stepmother's contempt and dislike for herself were taught as early as the day she got married, but she didn't expect that she would be so faceless on the day she returned. If Zhao Luoyan came with him, seeing such a scene, I was afraid that I would look down on myself even more in my heart.

However, even if Zhao Luoyan didn't come, he brought the Zhao family over, and he didn't know what kind of words he would spread when he went back.

Qian Ning glanced at Mother Li, who was sitting on the other side, and saw that her face was still solemn, as if she hadn't heard any movement outside.

Qian Ning sighed, no matter how embarrassed she was, she couldn't hide it, not to mention the embarrassment given by her blood-related relatives......

Stiff-headed, Qian Ning said outside the carriage: "Dew, since Mother Zhao has something to go back, I think I can't be separated, let's go in directly, it's not early, it's important to ask my father and mother for peace." ”

"But......" came the dew's hesitant voice.

"Sister Dew, let's go in quickly, it's time to block the door in a while." The voice of the linden also rang out.

The Lu family is not like the Hou Mansion, the family is big, and it occupies a street, but a mansion in the corner of an alley, although there are not many people coming and going on weekdays, and it is quite quiet, but the carriage has been here for a while, presumably someone is coming over.

Lu realized that if the stalemate continued, it would only embarrass her grandmother's face even more, so she hurriedly asked Xiao Mazi to open the middle door, and the carriage entered the Lu family through the middle door.

After entering the house, Li's mother helped Qianning get out of the carriage.

Aunt Chu brought the maid's mother to greet her: "Second aunt, you have arrived, old lady, lady has been waiting for a long time." ”

asked Aunt Chu to come forward again, and her stepmother really put on a good show.

Qian Ning sneered in her heart, and replied softly on her face: "There is Aunt Lao." There was something at home that was slightly delayed. ”

Aunt Chu led the way in front, and saw that Qianning only brought a mother and two maids, and Zhao Luoyan didn't see them, so she also had some plans in her heart.

When I arrived at the Jingbai Garden, the garden was quiet, and no one came out to greet him.

No matter how thick-skinned Aunt Chu is, she can't hold back her smile: "Mrs. Xu has not gotten up for lunch break, I will go and report it, and my aunt and grandmother will wait in the hall for a while." ”
