Chapter Seventy-Three: Anger (Second Watch)

Seeing a pair of grandsons, Meng Guogong had a smile on his face.

Without waiting for An Wenyan and An Ruolan to salute and greet each other, Meng Guogong exempted the two of them from the courtesy, and beckoned the two to his side with a smile.

Mrs. Meng and the uncles in the house also stopped talking, and greeted the two of them to warm up.

Meng Shi was very happy to see that his children were so valued and loved by his mother's family, but then his heart swelled up with sourness, and he felt a sense of loneliness that was taken away from his love.

Mama Li was keenly aware of Meng's loneliness, looked at An Ruolan like the stars holding the moon, and became more and more determined in her heart to complain to Mrs. Meng for a while.

Not to mention what Meng and Mama Li are thinking, right now, there is a lively and harmonious atmosphere in the main hall.

The elder brother is polite, modest and gentle; My sister is contrary to the cold posture of the past, delicate and cute, and sweet and coquettish, the two brothers and sisters, you say a word to me, although it is not deliberately cooperative, but it is still a group of elders who are not together.

Meng Guogong looked at An Wenyan and nodded with satisfaction, and Mrs. Meng was reluctant to let go of An Ruolan, and her uncles and aunts, cousins and sisters were full of praise, and it could be seen that everyone really liked their brothers and sisters.

However, the more lively and cheerful the atmosphere, the more uncomfortable Meng Shi became. It's not that everyone snubbed her and ignored her, it's just that today's scene is very different from previous years, and her daughter, who always follows her silently, is even more eye-catching than her.

Looking at his daughter in his mother's arms, Meng Shi frowned imperceptibly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. Faintly, she had the illusion that something was about to break out of control.

After everyone laughed for a while, Meng Guogong led the young masters of the mansion and An Wenyan to the study, and Mrs. Meng took the Meng mother and daughter, and the ladies of the mansion to the main hall of Hanxin Courtyard, that is, Mrs. Meng's own courtyard.

On the way back to Hanxin Courtyard, Mrs. Meng called Qiao's side and asked in a low voice, "Can you prepare a place to live for Yuxia?" ”

The matter that An Wenyan's brothers and sisters would stay in Meng Guofu, the old lady had already sent someone to send a letter to Mrs. Meng, because Mrs. Meng had already arranged a place for her two grandsons, but she didn't expect that the Meng family would come over together, so in a hurry, she had to temporarily order Qiao's to make arrangements.

Qiao Shi expected that Mrs. Meng would have such a question, and when she heard this, she replied respectfully: "Mother is at ease, the daughter-in-law has already quietly sent someone to take care of it." The yard before my sister-in-law got married is still there, all the utensils are complete, and someone often cleans it, so you can live in it as long as you clean it up a little. ”

"Well, that's good." Old Madam Meng bowed her head with satisfaction, patted Qiao's hand and praised, "I don't have to worry about you doing things." ”

Qiao Shi only smiled meekly and modestly.

She knows in her heart that she is a daughter-in-law, and she can't compare to her mother-in-law's biological daughter. After all, my mother-in-law is only such a daughter-in-law, and she only got it at such an old age.

Although she was a little apprehensive in her heart, she was not confused because of this.

Not far away, Meng Shi, who saw Old Madam Meng and Qiao's demeanor, frowned.

After arriving at Hanxin Courtyard, everyone entered the Qingque Hall together, and after sitting down, they talked and laughed again.

Mrs. Meng originally wanted An Ruolan to sit with her - today she is very rare and well-behaved and sweet-mouthed granddaughter, but before she could speak, Meng Shi had already consciously and spontaneously sat next to her, which made her angry and annoyed, but after all, she couldn't bear to refute her daughter's face, so she had to let An Ruolan go to sit with the ladies in the house.

Meng Shi still didn't know it, and still talked with the sisters-in-law elegantly and softly.

It's not that she deliberately wants to sit next to Mrs. Meng, it's just that she is used to it, and she takes it for granted that the position next to Mrs. Meng is hers.

An Ruolan didn't think there was anything, and Huan Xi squeezed into the middle of the cousins.

She had already made up her mind to love her cousins.

In her previous life, when she was young, every time she went back to her grandfather's house, she was with her mother, because her mother didn't like her to run around casually, she always followed behind her mother, which made her rarely have the opportunity to get along with her cousins, which led to her relationship with her cousins in her previous life. It can be said that in her previous life, she was really alone.

But now it's different, after no longer treating her mother as the only one in her life, she feels that the world is much more open, and the regrets of her previous life, she has to make up for them all in this life, so she will try to cherish the one around her.

It's just that the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is not so wishy.

An Ruolan had just squeezed into the middle of the sisters and sat down, and before the chair was hot, she heard Meng Shi say, "Lan'er, come over and talk to your grandmother." ”

This was said deliberately by Meng Shi.

When she saw that An Ruolan was not following her as usual, but squeezed into the middle of a group of nieces, she was suddenly dissatisfied in her heart, so she found such an excuse to call An Ruolan back to her side.

"......" An Ruolan looked at her mother who was waving to her, and then looked at the little sisters beside her, and stood up reluctantly.

Seeing her face full of loss, Mrs. Meng immediately felt distressed, and hurriedly said: "If you can't talk where you sit, let Sister Lan sit with her sisters and sisters, and it is rare for their sisters to get together." ”

Old Madam Meng also knew that Meng detained An Ruolan and did not let her go out.

"Mother." Meng Shi called out disapprovingly, "Lan'er is still young, you can't let her mess around." ”

Hearing this, the faces of several ladies in Meng Guofu changed, and they couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.

Talking to their daughter is nonsense? Who is this to look down on!

It's not the first time they've been angry with their sister-in-law, and they are all used to it, but this time it's too much!

Old Madam Meng's face was not good-looking, and the anger that had been persuaded to be extinguished in the past few days came up again.

But Meng Shi didn't know how to look at people's faces, so he paused and said half-jokingly: "Lan'er is already pampered enough, and if she continues like this, no one will be able to cure her." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Meng couldn't hold back the anger in her heart anymore, and directly put the teacups on the table, and said coldly: "What's wrong with Sister Lan?" It's better than letting her be wronged! ”

The sound of the teacup and tea lid hitting was crisp and piercing, and the Qingque Hall was instantly silent.

Knowing that Old Madam Meng was really angry, everyone lowered their heads silently, silent, but this did not include the Meng family.

Seeing that his mother was angry, Meng Shi was very innocent and asked rhetorically: "Is there something wrong with my daughter?" ”

Old Madam Meng was almost upset by her, clutching her chest and panting.

Meng Shi was so frightened by this scene that his face turned white, and he stood aside at a loss, not knowing how to react.

Seeing this, Qiao Shi hurriedly stepped forward to ease her mother-in-law's breath, and gently persuaded: "Mother is not angry, she is worried about her body, my sister-in-law is such a simple character, she is unintentional." ”

Since ancient times, the daughter-in-law is an outsider, and the matter between the mother-in-law and the sister-in-law is not something she should mix, after all, it is not good to say a word, and it is the people on both sides who are offended, and they are all people she can't offend. It's just that she is a clan woman, unlike the concubine next to her who can find an excuse to stand by, especially her mother-in-law is already angry now.

Sighing helplessly, seeing that Mrs. Meng was relieved, Qiao turned his head and said to a group of girls, "Let's all go out and play." ”

Old Madam Meng answered with a straight face: "Sister Lan will go with you." ”

This time, Meng Shi did not dare to exit again. RS
