Chapter 200: The grievances are deep and in vain
Let's talk about An Yuanhou's side, he was originally going to take Lin Mei away on the second day, and this room was leading Zhou Yanxi and Lin Matchmaker to have breakfast in the main hall, but unexpectedly, I suddenly heard someone report that the eldest lady was not in her room.
"Wan'er is not here? Xu is going to play in the backyard again, you go to find it again...... By the way, let's go and see if the preparations are ready, I will rush to the capital today, but don't miss anything......" An Yuanhou didn't take it very seriously at first, drank a mouthful of lotus seed japonica rice porridge, and helped Mrs. Lin sandwich a piece of crisp cheese.
Lin Mei has always acted uninhibitedly, and An Yuanhou naturally knew about this matter, so he just thought that Lin Mei had gone to another place to wander around, and he didn't care much about it.
Hearing An Yuanhou's words, the little guy turned pale and knelt down tremblingly.
As soon as Mrs. Lin saw this, she knew that something was wrong, so she immediately changed her face, and said coldly, "Are the things in the eldest lady's house still there?" ”
After all, it was brought up by Mrs. Lin, looking at Lin Mei for more than ten years, what Lin Mei did Lin Matchmaker can no longer be said to be clear, and she immediately guessed that Lin Mei might have run away from home, if her things are gone, then she must have secretly left alone last night.
No...... There should be Shu Wangjin, otherwise Lin Mei would not dare to go anywhere else, at most she would go to Liu Yufei to hide for a few days, but if there is Shu Wangjin, I am afraid that there is no place in the world that Lin Mei will not dare to go!
When An Yuanhou heard Mrs. Lin ask, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and put down the chopsticks in his hand. looked at the kneeling guy seriously.
At this time, probably only Zhou Yanji was secretly happy in his heart. But she wasn't so stupid and showed it directly on her face, so she also pretended to be worried. frowned and asked, "My sister is ...... away from home."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yanxi deliberately looked at An Yuanhou's face, and sure enough, he saw his face turn blue.
"Back to Madame's words...... Lady's stuff...... Indeed, it is indeed not in the room anymore! The little guy replied in horror, and he couldn't figure out how Lin Mei could have such the courage to run away from home alone, and what made him even more incomprehensible was that it was not good to be the young lady of the Hou Mansion? I want to flee......
Look at Zhou Yanji, it's just an adopted daughter. I put the shelf so high every day, for fear that others wouldn't know that she was a girl from the Hou Mansion! However, in the eyes of others, I don't know how ridiculous this is......
It's not even a concubine, but he still wants to marry into another famous family, which really makes people laugh to death!
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin took a deep breath, so frightened that Marquis Zhou hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, and said with concern, "Wanrong." Are you okay...... Hey, Wan'er, this kid is really, it's so worry-free! ”
"I'm fine......" Mrs. Lin tightened her sleeves, her eyes cold. has a bit of Xiao Zijin's charm when he looks at people, cold and cold, as if he doesn't care about anything......
This is her truest nature. Blame it, all her tenderness. have been smoothed out in these more than ten years of difficult years, at that time. Even how to live is a problem, if you are weak, you will be bullied, over time, Mrs. Lin herself will not remember that she was once the lady of the Zhao family in the capital, and with a wave of her clothes, countless people want to break through the threshold of the Zhao family to marry her, and the gifts received by the concierge can be piled up into a hill every day......
"Wanrong, don't be too angry with Wan'er, she is still young after all, and she is too playful, and it will be better when she gets married in the future, let's talk about it...... With the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion supporting her, who would dare to bully her? An Yuanhou clenched Mrs. Lin's hand, and patted her back lightly with the other hand, for fear that she would blame Lin Mei.
Mrs. Lin only felt that her heart was like ashes, but what An Yuanhou sometimes did made her can't help but soften her heart, and she couldn't hate it at all.
"I'm not afraid of Mei'er, although she is arrogant and domineering, she is very timid...... When the time comes, Hou Ye will accompany me to Linshan County to have a look, if Mei'er is there, he will take her back to the capital, if she is not there, then ask Shu Gongzi when he left, if he is not there, presumably Mei'er must have followed Shu Gongzi ......"
Speaking of which, Mrs. Lin's face looked better, Shu Wangjin was a reliable person, Lin Mei would not be bullied by others if she followed him, as long as Shu Wangjin was wholeheartedly devoted to Lin Mei, she would be relieved......
An Yuanhou's face froze, a little not good-looking, and he snorted coldly, "What kind of system is this!" The two are not married yet, so they are so presumptuous, if it spreads, maybe what others think of our Hou Mansion! No way...... It is necessary to chase Meier back! ”
Mrs. Lin glanced at An Yuanhou and knew that he was uncomfortable, Lin Mei was his biological daughter, but she was not close to him at all, every time she saw him, she was like seeing an enemy, so he was not sad; However, Lin Mei snubbed him, and instead got close to Shu Wangjin, an outsider, how could he be happy? Naturally, he wanted to do everything possible to bring Lin Mei back, otherwise, where would he put his old face?!
"Didn't Master Hou just say that he didn't force Mei'er? So soon to change the hexagram again? Mrs. Lin said lightly, but it made Marquis An Yuanhou break out in a cold sweat, you know, Mrs. Lin hasn't forgiven him yet, although the people call her Mrs. every time, but Marquis An Yuanhou has not been with her until now. House......
"Naturally...... Don't force Wan'er, it's just that this lonely man and widow, I'm afraid that Wan'er will ...... her" Marquis An Yuan said in a sneering manner, sighing in his heart that he had really done too much sin, otherwise how could he have fallen to such a situation now?
Mrs. Lin had a slight ridicule on her face, but there were huge waves in her heart, and she was alone...... If An Yuanhou really knew so much, then that kind of thing would not have happened back then!
"Hou Ye is right, this lonely man and widow is indeed not very good...... It's just that I believe that Shu Gongzi is a polite person, otherwise, after so many years, I haven't heard that he is in and out of Fengyue outside, and there are beautiful concubines at home! Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth and said fiercely, her eyes staring at An Yuanhou, this was just to say it to him alone!
Back then, Mrs. Lin was moved by An Yuanhou's pursuit. But after getting married, I learned that he had seven or eight concubines in his family, and. What's even more hateful is that one of them is already three months pregnant!
That is the later eldest son of the Marquis of Anyuan. Fortunately, because of the stupidity of life, there is no interest at all, and one or two little sons are born every year in the backyard of Marquis Anyuan, so this eldest son has no room to speak, and he is also very unpopular with the old lady and the old lady, which does not make Mrs. Lin take him to heart.
However, watching the male babies in the backyard be born one by one. His stomach has not yet reacted, and later, even Mrs. Lin herself became anxious, but it is a pity that Marquis An Yuanhou still loves her as much as she did back then, although she has a lot of pity for those young and beautiful concubines, but she has never rested in other people's hospitals, no matter how late she will insist on going back to her own courtyard to sleep, Mrs. Lin doesn't know whether to say lucky or unlucky......
There was even one time. There was a concubine who gave birth to two boys, and she had the audacity to hook up. Led An Yuanhou to say all the good things and wanted him to rest in his yard.
But what do you think, that night, An Yuanhou turned his face ruthlessly, and directly sent the two little sons she gave birth to to to Mrs. Lin. Say, if the lady is willing to adopt, she will adopt, if she is not willing to adopt. was sent to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, although Mrs. Lin did not want to see other people's children. But after all, he was soft-hearted, so he said. Sending him to another childless aunt quieted the matter.
And the old lady and the old lady don't care about these concubines, although Lin Matchmaker can't give birth, but there is also the support of the Zhao family behind her, not to mention, there are enough concubines in the Hou Mansion, and they are not bad for these two people; And why should he offend his own son for the sake of these two bookcases?
After this incident, other aunts naturally didn't dare to make a mistake, even if An Yuanhou didn't dare to be rude to Mrs. Lin no matter how much they pampered them.
And the aunt who sent her sons to someone else for adoption cried so desolately, knelt outside An Yuanhou's door for a long time and didn't let him change her mind, and it didn't take long for her to go crazy, and she was demented all day long, which made An Yuanhou even more disgusted, and never looked at her again.
An Yuanhou heard Mrs. Lin say this, and also knew that she had a lot of complaints about herself in her heart, smiled bitterly and sighed a few times, waved her hand to let the little maid who was kneeling on the ground and the maid who was standing aside to serve go down first, and when she saw Zhou Yanxiao looking at herself, she nodded and motioned for her to go down as well, until there were only two people left in the room, she and Mrs. Lin were left, so she opened her mouth and sighed softly, "Wanrong, I know you have always had a grudge in your heart, but ......"
Mrs. Lin closed her eyes tightly, held back the tears in her eyes, and pretended to be calm, "Master Hou, those things have already passed, and the top priority is to go to Mei'er's room first." ”
An Yuanhou wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Lin had already walked out, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhou Yanxiao standing sneakily outside, and she didn't know if she was eavesdropping just now, as soon as she saw Mrs. Lin come out, she immediately changed her smiling face, held Mrs. Lin's hand kindly, handed over a folded white paper in her hand, and said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry, this is a letter left by my sister." ”
Though...... Zhou Yanji didn't think that this family letter seemed to be written by Lin Mei, but her stepmother was not easy to mess with, and she was a famous lady in the capital back then, if she taught it herself, the calligraphy on this letter would be understandable.
Mrs. Lin was very annoyed with Zhou Yanxi in her heart, but she had no choice but to create a peaceful appearance in front of An Yuanhou, so she had no choice but to accompany Zhou Yanxi to act......
"Wan'er left a letter?" An Yuanhou was naturally very curious, so he also came over to take a look.
Mrs. Lin's hands stiffened, and she was a little reluctant to show him Lin Mei's ghost-like handwriting, after all, she hadn't taught her well since she was a child, and she was not allowed to learn to match the bloodstone pair like Liu Yufei, at most, she was asked to recognize common words, which caused Lin Mei to become what she is today.
It's just that, looking at Zhou Yanji's appearance, if Mei'er's writing is too unsightly, I'm afraid that she would have shouted a long time ago, could it be ......
As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Lin was not nervous, and directly opened the folded letter in her hand, and as she expected, the handwriting on this letter paper was not Lin Mei's at all, although it was said to be dignified and beautiful, but she didn't remember that Lin Mei would write this silk flower font!
An Yuanhou's reaction was very different from Mrs. Lin's, he was a literati, and he naturally liked to write well, so he praised without even seeing the content clearly, "It's better to teach you well, Wan'er's words are quite contemporary everyone's style!" ”
Mrs. Lin was slightly embarrassed in her heart, and glanced at the handwriting on it, this was obviously the font of Ji Wuya who painted the Shilan diagram, and the Shilan diagram was said to be in the hands of the Shu family, from this point of view, this letter should have been written by Shu Wangjin...... Now she can rest assured, at least Lin Mei is still with Shu Wangjin.
This letter is written in a decent manner, and it is estimated that it is all the credit of Shu Wangjin's ghostwriting, otherwise with Lin Mei's writing, I am afraid that now I am afraid that An Yuanhou will be so angry that he will vomit blood.
"So, Wan'er followed Shu Gongzi to Los Angeles?" An Yuanhou stroked his beard, his expression was a little cold, he was still very hostile to Shu Wangjin about Shu Wangjin abducting his only biological daughter like this, and even the rare good impression before was polished.
Mrs. Lin folded the letter again, slowly put it into her sleeve, and replied softly, "It should be like this, otherwise, Mei'er alone will not have that much courage." ”
"Hmph...... There are so many princes and grandsons in the capital, even if I retire from this family business, I can't let Wan'er follow Shu Wangjin anymore! Otherwise, it may not be what will happen! Marquis Anyuan said hatefully, and completely blamed Shu Wangjin for Lin Mei's current rebellious behavior.
Mrs. Lin did not agree with An Yuanhou's idea, although Lin Mei was indeed the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, but she had been out of the capital for so many years, and she didn't know how to understand etiquette and didn't know a word, and the nobles in the capital who were above the top would not look down on Lin Mei at all.
"Master Hou, I still won't talk about this now...... Although Mei'er is not in Linshan County, I have been there for more than ten years, and it is estimated that it will be impossible to come back in the future, so I still want to go there again......" Mrs. Lin's face was full of nostalgia, it was only a matter of a few days, but it seemed that she had left Linshan County for decades...... Even for the capital, she doesn't have such a deep attachment. (To be continued.) )
