After sending away the people from the Criminal Department, the Ye family is finally more peaceful, after all, no one who is good or decent wants to see the official, although those mothers-in-law and servants are usually very fierce to the little maid, in fact, if they really want to see the official, they will tremble like chaff.

Early this morning, Lu Zhu said to Luo Ning, "Miss, the slave maid heard that the eldest aunt and grandmother are here today. ”

The eldest aunt is the grandmother's eldest daughter, named Ye Meizhi, although the grandmother gave birth to three sons, but there is only such a daughter, and it is said that the pain is very tight.

After hearing this, Luo Ning groaned slightly, and said, "Oh, yes, today is not a New Year or a festival, how did the good aunt and grandmother go back to their parents' house, is it that she is having trouble with the eldest aunt again, or that the eldest cousin is in trouble again." ”

Luo Ning remembered that the relationship between the eldest aunt and the eldest aunt was not very good, the eldest aunt lived in the concubine's room all day long, but the concubine's stomach was angry, and she gave birth to three sons in a row.

At present, there is only one male left under the knees of the eldest aunt, but because there is only one male left, the whole family is spoiled tightly, and he has become the most typical disciple.

A few days ago, I heard that I also went to the men's wind hall, and the guests inside robbed a man named Ruoshui, and the guest was seriously injured, and now I just ended the lawsuit, and I heard that I accompanied someone with a lot of silver, and the eldest aunt was very disappointed in his sister-in-law.

Lu Zhu lowered her voice and whispered, "Miss, you probably don't know yet, the eldest aunt has set up an outer room outside, and it is said that she has given birth to a son." ”

"Why is there such a thing, if the eldest uncle likes that woman, just accept the room, why bother to put an outer room outside, isn't it embarrassing and conspicuous." Luo Ning put down the poetry in his hand and said.

Lu Zhu continued, "The slave maid went to send a portrait to Yue Qian two days ago, and told him to find someone, Yue Qian said that what he overheard was said to be the master of the old lady of the Zhou family, saying that he would be kept outside until he became an adult. ”

"Why is that?" Luo Ning lowered her voice to the lowest and asked, after all, there are still grandmother's people in this Jingyuan.

"I heard that Mrs. Zhou found someone for divination, saying that the child was raised outside, and it was not raised in the house."

"Ah, how can it be done, why can't it be raised in the inner house, isn't this a slap in the face of the eldest aunt and grandmother."

"It's just a slap in the face, a few days ago, I went to the street to buy some things, and I met a few servants of the Zhou family, and when they were drinking tea, they whispered that the concubines who died before were all done by my aunt and grandmother." After Lu Zhu finished speaking, he was sweating nervously.

"Ah, how is that possible." Luo Ning's eyes widened, she remembered that although her aunt and grandmother were arrogant, it was impossible to do that kind of thing, but thinking of the battle in this inner house, and her mother was assassinated several times, Luo Ning felt that there was nothing strange about it, and she had experienced less.

It has always been not easy for the aunt and grandmother to live with the Zhou family, no matter how ruthless she is, as long as she is still her aunt, she can't be afraid of anything.

"Then this week, the old lady is now helping the people in the outer house to deal with her own daughter-in-law." Luo Ning felt a little sorry for her aunt and said.

"Hey, miss, don't forget, the most important thing in a family like ours is the heir, although there is no evidence now, they just suspect it, but Mrs. Zhou has already had a dislike with the eldest aunt and grandmother, and now the Zhou family is also disappointed in the young master's lack of learning and skills, and they all say that it is a loser, and the whole family is looking forward to the concubine who is raised in the outer house can inherit the family business."

"It's so serious." Luo Ning listened to Lu Zhu's words, and felt that it was not so simple for the eldest aunt and grandmother to return to her parents' house this time.

At this time, Daylilies came, saying that the aunt and grandmother had prepared lunch in the Orchid Garden, and invited the ladies from each room to go to eat and gather by the way.

Luo Ning responded, saying that he would go over when he was ready.

When I arrived at Lanyuan, I asked my grandmother to say goodbye, and I saw my aunt and grandmother looking at me with a smile, and then said kindly, "Sister Luo'er has grown up, and she is so smart, come and see this golden step shake that my aunt gave you, with a good look." ”

While speaking, the eldest aunt and grandmother had already brought the golden step shake to Luo Ning, and she didn't ask Luo Ning if she wanted it, whether she liked it or not, so she turned her head directly and asked the old lady, and said, "Mother, you see that the golden step shake prepared by Sister Luo with her children is very good-looking." ”

Luo Ning listened to her as if she had something to say, but she didn't understand what she meant, so she could only turn her head to look at her grandmother, only to see her grandmother's face tangled, as if she wanted to say good for a while, and wanted to say bad for a while.

"Mother, your daughter is married, don't you love your daughter anymore." Mrs. Zhou, the eldest aunt, asked a little sadly.

"Don't talk nonsense, you can't change anything, you're my daughter." The old lady sighed and said.

When Mrs. Zhou heard her mother's words, she immediately smiled, looked at Luo Ning and said more and more kindly, "Sister Luo'er hasn't seen her aunt all these years, but she has separated from her aunt, and my aunt is worried about Sister Luo'er." ”

Luo Ning looked at Mrs. Zhou's bodhisattva-like kind face, and suddenly remembered what Lu Zhu had told her before, the deaths of several concubines of the Zhou family seemed to be related to the one in front of her.

Thinking of this, a chill floated in Luo Ning's heart, she remembered her previous life, at the church meeting on the seventh day of the seventh month of July, she was favored by Cousin Zhou, and her aunt and grandmother told her grandmother that she wanted to marry her to the Zhou family.

At that time, I also sighed that Yang Ming was like a god, but in fact, someone had already reported the news. But whether it is Yang Ming or Cousin Zhou, they are by no means her beloved, she will never be able to push herself into the fire pit if she lives again.

So Luo Ning smiled slightly, pulled out the hairpin on her head, handed it to Mrs. Zhou's hand and said, "Aunt is too polite, Luo'er can accept such a heavy gift from her aunt." ”

When the old lady saw Luo Ning's actions, she couldn't help but feel comforted, this was the daughter of her Ye family, and it was really Xiuwai Huizhong, who was out of order, and then glanced at her daughter, as if to say, Sister Luo was unwilling, and she couldn't help it.

Mrs. Zhou looked at the hairpin in her hand and thought, this Luo sister is really different from before, if it was before, where could she see this, originally she took a fancy to Luo Ning's identity.

Luo Ning is not only the daughter of the Ye family, but also the granddaughter of the Liu family's granddaughter, if such an identity marries into the Zhou family, then the old lady Zhou no longer likes herself, and she has nothing to do.

In the future, it will be more convenient to deal with the concubine in the outer house, but now this Luo Ning actually rejected her, which made her a little unexpected, but she was not annoyed, after all, this marriage matter, it is not Luo Ning's turn to be in charge, as long as her mother and brother agree.

Mrs. Zhou kindly put away the hairpin and said with a smile, "It seems that the style of this step is not in line with Sister Luo'er's thoughts, it doesn't matter, my aunt is asking people to send a better one another day." ”

Hearing this, Luo Ning understood that her aunt was not dead, she turned her head to look at her grandmother, as long as her grandmother didn't nod her head in this matter, her aunt had great ability, and she was helpless, but she found that her grandmother was avoiding her eyes.

So the grandmother still loves her daughter, and her sister-in-law is separated from her belly.

Seeing the disappointment on Luo Ning's expression, Mrs. Zhou became a little proud, and said, "Luo'er, if you have time to go to your aunt's to play, although the Zhou family is not as good as the Ye family, your uncle is now also from the household department, and your cousin Zhou is now also donating an official to the household department, we are originally a family, so we should move around more." ”

Hearing this, the old lady couldn't help coughing a few times, her daughter was too bold, Sister Luo was also the daughter of the Ye family, how could she be so foolish.

As soon as Mrs. Zhou heard that her mother was a little unhappy, she hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't be busy, it's the seventh day of the seventh month in half a month, doesn't my mother still have to hold a church meeting, and then let Brother Cheng come over, and be familiar with the sisters." ”

Luo Ning saw that her grandmother didn't say anything, so she knew that her grandmother was also thinking about it, but what she was thinking about was not her happiness, but the face of the Ye family, whether she could marry the Ye family's concubine to the nephew who didn't learn or know how to do it for her daughter.

"Grandmother's church meeting has been getting bigger and bigger in the past two years, and Luo'er heard from her mother that several sisters from her uncle's family are also coming over to be lively."

As soon as Luo Ning said this, the old lady's eyes widened, yes, there is still the Liu family, if Luo Ning marries Brother Cheng, I am afraid that I will offend the Liu family.

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she felt that this Luo Ning was the best candidate for her daughter-in-law, and her unsuccessful son just needed Luo Ning to be in charge.
