Chapter 113: In Vain (2nd Update)

An Shiyan is not a good father, whether it is in the past life or in this life, this man is too weak emotionally and confused, but just like treating Meng, An Ruolan will complain, but he will not care.

So as soon as Qizhu asked someone to send the news to Yirong Yuan, she immediately asked Bailing to ask An Wenyan for help, and then sent a message to Qizhu to arrange Bu Yuan, and she hid outside the gate of Xinyue Yuan to pick up people.

The manservant is not allowed to step into the inner house, even if he only crosses the threshold of the second gate, he will be beaten to death with a stick if he is found, Qizhu took a lot of effort and spent a handful of silver before saying that he moved two bold family members to hide outside the second gate, and took the opportunity to sneak into the second gate to carry people, but fortunately, there was no danger, and the group was not discovered.

An Shiyan also has a place to live in the front yard, which is a small courtyard, and just behind the study where he usually works, Qizhu has already said hello and asked the two family members to send people directly to the study.

After turning the last moon gate, they arrived in front of the study, Mama Zhang and Qizhu had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the group coming back, they immediately greeted them.

When the step landed, Qizhu stepped forward to help An Shiyan down, and Mama Zhang picked up An Ruolan, who was out of breath, wiped her sweat, and turned around to send the two family members away.

The four of them went into the study.

Mama Zhang said: "I have people prepare hot water, Qizhu boy, you first serve the fifth master to wash and change clothes, soak in a hot bath to warm up your body, and then you can be refreshed." ”

Qizhu responded and helped An Shiyan to walk behind.

"Lan'er." An Shiyan stopped and looked back at An Ruolan.

An Ruolan didn't look at him. Lowering his eyes, he said, "Father, go quickly, it's not too late to say something later." ”

An Shiyan had no choice but to be reluctantly helped away by Qizhu.

An Ruolan didn't want to stay here longer, and An Shiyan left. She said, "Mama, I'm tired." ”

"Okay, Mama will take you back to your room to rest." Mama Zhang stroked the top of her head distressedly and raised her hand to hug her.

An Ruolan giggled and blocked her hand and said, "I'll just go by myself." ”

Mama Zhang smiled and held her hand instead.

After bathing and freshening up, An Shiyan was much more energetic. His head was no longer dizzy, his face was much better, and he returned to the study and didn't see An Ruolan. Then he asked, "What about Lan'er?" ”

"Xu is back to the room to rest, Miss Six has just run all the way, she must be tired." Keitake replied.

An Shiyan nodded rather disappointedly.

He hasn't thanked his daughter yet.

Remembering his wife's request, he walked over to the desk. While taking the letter paper and spreading it out. He said: "I want to write a letter to my mother-in-law, and you will have someone send it to Meng Guofu in a while, and remember to send the old ginseng I got a few days ago." ”

Qizhu nodded in response and walked to the side to help grind.

After the ink was polished, An Shiyan picked up the pen and pondered for a moment, and then put down the pen like flying, but in a moment, the letter was written. After writing, he read it several times. I didn't find anything wrong, so I folded it into an envelope and handed it to Qizhu.

"Go ahead." An Shiyan said.

Qizhu nodded, put the letter close to him, and helped him to sit down in the warm pavilion before turning around and going out.

When they arrived at the door, Qizhu opened the door, just as Mama Zhang raised her hand to knock on the door, the two looked at each other, Mama Zhang withdrew her hand and said with a smile: "Yo, where is the kid going in a hurry?" It's all this hour. As he spoke, he glanced at the sky outside.

Qizhu raised his eyes and found that it was already dark, and he was standing in the house, not even seeing the flowers and plants in the flower bed outside, and he didn't know when, snowflakes were floating in the air again.

Retracting his gaze, Qizhu hurriedly smiled and said, "Mama, please come in." He casually took the food box in Mama Zhang's hand and let Li let go.

Mama Zhang smiled and didn't enter the door, but said: "I was instructed by the sixth lady to bring dinner to the fifth master, and now that it has been delivered, I will go back, and the young lady is still waiting to serve it." ”

Qizhu nodded and said, "That kid won't keep his grandmother." ”

Mama Zhang bowed her head, bent down to pick up the umbrella leaning on the edge of the door frame, and said, "Okay, you hurry up and send dinner to the fifth master, don't be cold." ”

With that, he smiled and opened the umbrella in his hand, and slowly walked away with the lamp step by step.

Qizhu waited for her to go away before closing the door and carrying the food box back to the warm pavilion next to her.

An Shiyan was a little surprised to see him come back so quickly, so he asked, "It's done?" ”

Qizhu shook his head, put down the food box on the kang table, and said with a smile: "The slave ran into Mama Zhang when she went out, and her old man was instructed by Miss Six to bring dinner to the fifth master, and let me bring it in first." ”

An Shiyan was slightly stunned, thinking of his daughter running behind him with a red face, he smiled lightly, and said softly: "It turns out that it has been this hour, and it is really hard for her old man to bother." ”

And he said, "Since it is so late, let's send the letter tomorrow." ”

Answering in a low voice, Qizhu opened the lid of the food box and said with a smile: "Fifth Master, let's see what dishes Miss Sixth has prepared for you." ”

"Okay." An Shiyan nodded with a pleased smile, and when he looked at it, he saw that they were all light and easy to digest, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became bigger.

When Qizhu saw it, he smiled and said: "There is also black chicken and red date ginseng soup, which is just to make up for the fifth master, and the sixth lady is really thoughtful." ”

"Lan'er is filial, and it is rare to be delicate." An Shiyan's eyes were bent into crescents.

This dinner was the most comfortable and satisfying meal An Shiyan ate before the year and the New Year, and he almost didn't eat it.

Early the next morning, Qizhu sent the letter out.

Although An Shiyan's wording was already very cautious, downplaying Meng's illness a lot, Mrs. Meng was still anxious after reading the letter.

"The letter said that I have been sick for several days, how can it not matter!" Old Madam Meng frowned tightly and complained to her eldest daughter-in-law: "Shiyan should have sent a letter earlier!" ”

Qiao Shi could only comfort: "Mother relax, my daughter-in-law will let her prepare some good tonic herbs in a while, and personally send them to my sister-in-law, so that I can see how my sister-in-law is doing." ”

"Then I'll have to take you a trip." Old Madam Meng nodded to her eldest daughter-in-law.

However, after calming down a little, Mrs. Meng felt that something was wrong again. She pondered for a while, and then said to herself: "Look at what the letter says, it is that she was sick the next day after returning from the New Year's greetings. It's such a coincidence that this disease came by accident......"

Qiao's eyelids jumped, and he didn't answer.

Old Madam Meng's brows tightened a little, as if she had thought of something, her face became more and more difficult to look at, she waved her hand and said, "Zhilian, you don't have to go, I will go there myself." All are seriously ill. I can't favor one over the other, so that she won't say that I am more embarrassed in the future. ”

Zhilian is Qiao's boudoir name.

Qiao's didn't dare to object, so he only said, "Then the daughter-in-law will go and make some arrangements." ”

Old Madam Meng nodded. The face sinks like water.

Hearing that An Shiyan had already helped her send the news to Meng Guofu, Meng Shi was really relieved, she thought, since it was her husband who sent the letter for her. I don't think my mother will doubt it. In this way, she doesn't have to go to the Jin Palace.

Thinking of escaping the catastrophe, Meng was in a good mood, but unfortunately her good mood did not last long.

In the afternoon of the same day, Meng Guofu sent someone to send a letter to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, and the messenger said that Mrs. Meng was worried about the health of the fifth lady and would personally visit the house tomorrow.

The letter is a word of mouth, and it is first delivered to the old lady. The words were very earnest, overflowing with worry. However, the old lady still heard something strange from the tone of the messenger, and she knew that the fifth daughter-in-law must have been stupid again.

The old lady knew that Meng was sick, but she didn't know whether it was true or not, but now she knew it, and she didn't want to meddle in her affairs, so she asked the messenger to meet Meng.

When Meng Shi heard that her mother's mother was coming, she was naturally anxious, but the worried and concerned tone of the messenger made her feel a lot more relieved.

I guess my mother was just worried about her, so she came to visit her in person.

Alas, she is really unfilial, but she is also forced to do so, and she will not deceive her mother next time.

Thinking like this, Meng Shi was completely relieved, just waiting for tomorrow to disguise himself.

Because she wanted to pretend to be sick, Meng Shi deliberately didn't sleep all night, and when she got up the next day, her face was pale, her eyes were red, and the bottom of her eyes was blue, and she looked quite like that.

Looking at his haggard appearance in the bronze mirror, Meng couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his idea.

Mrs. Meng arrived at the Wenxin Marquis Mansion near noon, and after entering the door, she first talked to the old lady about the old days, and after having lunch in Yirong Garden, she went to Meng's room.

At that time, Meng Shi was leaning weakly on the head of the bed, and when she saw Mrs. Meng, she pulled out a pale and fragile smile, panted slightly, and said, "Forgive my daughter for being unfilial, and I can't get up to say goodbye to my mother." ”

After saying a few words, she coughed.

Old Madam Meng was really frightened by her appearance, if she hadn't seen the evening snow next to her and shook her head imperceptibly, she would have been deceived.

Wanxue didn't know if Meng was really sick, but from the observation of the past few days, she knew that even if Meng was really sick, she was not very sick, at least, there was no Yan zhòng who came out of the current table, and it was she who reminded Mrs. Meng.

Although she had vaguely guessed that her daughter was pretending to be sick yesterday, but after learning the truth today, Mrs. Meng was still uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't know whether to be glad that her daughter was safe and sound, or to be sad and angry that her daughter deceived herself, or maybe more, it was because her daughter refused to go to the Jin Palace.

Could it be that the two sisters are really like this in their lives?

Mrs. Meng did not want to see this result.

Suppressing all the tastes in her heart, Mrs. Meng sat down on the side of the bed, did not dismantle it, and sighed in a low voice: "If you are weak, you should pay more attention, I brought you some bird's nest lingzhi, you remember to eat it." ”

"Thank you, Mother." Meng Shi was grateful, feeling guilty, but more joyful, because her mother hadn't cared about her so much for a long time.

Mrs. Meng pulled Mrs. Meng to be soft and obedient, Mrs. Meng didn't look at her face, just sat on the edge of the bed and listened, occasionally admonishing a few words, and when she was about to leave, Mrs. Meng got up and said: "Since you are not in good health, my mother will not force you to go to the Jin Palace." ”

Hearing this, Meng's eyes lit up, but Old Madam Meng's words were not finished.

"Sister Lan will go back to Mengguo Mansion with me in a while, and after going to the Jin Palace, I will send her back, your mother-in-law has already responded to this matter, you don't have to worry, as for the servant, the concubine is also your daughter, let her serve the sick in the next few days."

The last sentence successfully blocked Meng's rebuttal that was about to be exported.

Meng Shi had tears in his eyes, his eyes widening in disbelief.
