A year ago, Murong invited monks and Taoist priests to the Hou Mansion to practice chanting, and she hid from An Ruolan and took An Ruolan around the dojo, but nothing happened.

An Ruolan faintly sensed the thoughts of the elders, but she knew that the elders were just asking for peace of mind, so she obediently cooperated and pretended not to know anything.

After the Weiguo Mansion invited the deadline, the Hou Mansion was busy again, preparing for the wedding wine.

An Ruolan couldn't be leisurely anymore, and began to be a female celebrity in the house all day long.

Just as An Jia and the Wei family were preparing for their wedding, a rumor spread in the neighborhood.

It is said that the tenth lady of the Wenxin Marquis Mansion asked for the holy water of the goddess for her mother, and she was fortunate to get the enlightenment of the goddess.

The rumors were menacing, and soon became a household name, and the world envied Miss An Shi for her blessings and praised her filial piety and kindness.

In recent years, the deeds of the goddess to save people have been introduced to the ears of the world from time to time, and the status in the hearts of the people of the world has been repeatedly improved.

An Ruoxian became famous for a while.

In order to heal her mother's illness, the concubine prayed to God sincerely, and her filial piety touched the beautiful talk of the heavens.

At the same time, the county lord of Chenshuang, who "ignored his biological mother", was also moved out, and although the world did not dare to say anything in front of him, he had a distinction between superior and inferior in his heart.

And for other ladies in Shengjing City, this is not a good thing, after all, it is enough for one person to be in the limelight, there is no need for two, they have been suppressed by An Ruolan, if they let the scenery of a lowly girl surpass them, where will their faces go?

So for a while, rumors about how An Ruoxian was arrogant and domineering when she was young, hypocritical and hypocritical, scheming, and unscrupulous in order to compete for favor also spread in aristocratic circles.

People like to praise, although An Ruoxian had already expected what kind of repercussions the news would have, but the public's praise still made her complacent, although this is not her purpose, but it can increase her reputation by the way, why not do it?

It's just that she didn't expect that slander and framing would follow.

Hearing the news from Du Juan, An Ruoxian's face turned blue with anger, she didn't expect that she would provoke those hypocritical and jealous young ladies of the family, which hindered her plan to win over people.

But she can't control so much now, so she can only complete the plan in front of her first.

An Ruoxian's request for holy water, the Wenxin Marquis Mansion naturally heard about it, some were convinced, and some were skeptical, but the old lady and the Murong clan had not reacted, so everyone had to watch from the sidelines.

The reason why the old lady was silent was because she was waiting, and she was waiting for An Ruoxian to explain to her in person. There is no doubt that the Murong clan is acting on the old lady's face.

And An Ruoxian was also waiting, waiting for the old lady or Murong to lose her breath and come to the door in person.

The two sides are at a stalemate.

An Ruolan is now deaf to what is going on outside the window, and is only dedicated to being a female celebrity, but this does not mean that she knows nothing.

On the contrary, she knew better than anyone else.

She knew that An Ruoxian had obtained the holy water in Tianyuan Temple, and she also knew that An Ruoxian had a private meeting with Zhao Qing in Tianyuan Temple, and asked Zhao Qing to help her liberate the Meng clan.

It's just that she doesn't have a clue about the elusive goddess. The only thing that can be determined is that the goddess is not a god, but a person with strong martial arts, and as for the detailed identity, the spies who monitored An Ruoxian could not find out.

It can be speculated that the power behind the goddess cannot be underestimated.

So is An Ruoxian related to the goddess?

If not, how could An Ruoxian be able to pick up the goddess as soon as she went to Tianyuan Temple?

An Ruolan twisted the needle and pondered, she had too many doubts about the goddess who did not exist in her previous life.

"Miss, miss?"

Bai Ling's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and An Ruolan, who was in deep thought, was startled and suddenly came back to his senses.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? All the time in a daze. Bai Ling frowned suspiciously.

An Ruolan shook her head with a smile and said, "It's just that I've been staring at the needle and thread for a long time, and my eyes are a little tired." ”

"Then let's rest first, it just so happens that Mother Liu made Miss's favorite pastry, Miss hurry up and eat it while it's hot." Bai Ling said, smiled and put the food box he was carrying on the small table, and took out the delicate and cute snacks inside.

An Ruolan smiled and put down the needle and thread, and said, "Call Mother Liu, the two grandmothers, and the four joys and eight yuan, and everyone will eat together." ”

"Huh!" Bai Ling responded happily and jumped out to call someone.

After An Ruolan recovered from his illness, Sixi and Bayuan did not leave, but stayed in the Hou Mansion in the name of their personal maids, which was regarded as the dowry given to An Ruolan by Zhong Siye, and they would marry to the Weiguo Mansion in the future. Therefore, after the green vulture was transferred, the Murong clan did not arrange a new maid for An Ruolan.

A room full of people happily finished eating snacks, An Ruolan was going to take a nap, but Mama Qin found her talking alone.

Mama Qin didn't beat around the bush either, and asked directly, "What does Miss think of the rumors circulating in the market today?" ”

An Ruolan was stunned, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Xian is indeed very filial to the fifth aunt. ”

Don't say much on the side, after all, it is a secret that she asked her father-in-law to spy on An Ruoxian, and she doesn't want to involve the people around her.

Mama Qin bowed her head and said: "The old slave has the same idea as the young lady, otherwise the tenth miss would not voluntarily take the blame for the fifth lady." Immediately, his tone changed, and he asked solemnly: "Does Miss think the holy water can work on the fifth lady's illness?" ”

Hearing this, An Ruolan looked at her in surprise, and frowned: "This has nothing to do with my thoughts, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, it depends on whether others believe it or not." ”

Mama Qin lowered her head and said, "The old slave understands." There is one more thing, the old lady feels that the fifth master is serving and wants to take a concubine for the fifth master, I don't know what the young lady thinks of Miss Fang? ”

An Ruolan's heart jumped unconsciously, she roughly guessed what her grandmother meant.

After a pause, she asked rhetorically, "Why Miss Fang?" ”

To be honest, she doesn't have a good impression of Fang Bining, although Fang Bining is excellent, but she is quite scheming, if Fang Bining becomes her biological father's concubine, and her biological mother's "illness" is cured under the treatment of holy water, you can imagine how lively the fifth room will be, and it will be the biological father who will be embarrassed at that time.

She already knew that her biological father knelt in public in order to invite the old lady of Yanguo to be the guest of honor for her, so she naturally couldn't bear to see her biological father embarrassed.

Mama Qin replied: "It's not that the old lady likes Miss Fang, but that the fifth master and Miss Fang are in love, and Miss Fang is very affectionate, if she can't get what she wants, I'm afraid that something ugly will happen to the Hou Mansion." ”

The implication is that this is for the fulfillment of the two people who have affection, and it is also for the reputation of the Hou Mansion.

But it can also be seen that there is selfishness in it, the old lady wants Fang Bining to contain the Meng family.

An Ruolan understood, it seemed that her grandmother had been sending someone to keep an eye on Fang Bining, and Fang Bining must have had some inappropriate plan because of the recent rumors.

But if you don't like it, you don't like it, and she won't be involved in it.

said indifferently: "It's the fifth uncle who takes a concubine, and it's not me who takes a concubine, I have nothing to say, it depends on what the fifth uncle means." ”

The words have been said very clearly, one qiē is based on An Shiyan's wishes.

Mama Qin bowed down and said with a smile: "The old lady also said, Miss doesn't have to interfere in this matter, just wait for the marriage with peace of mind, if the young lady wants to say something to the fifth master, the old lady will not be angry." ”

"Hmm." An Ruolan nodded indifferently.

Mama Qin stepped back.

After this short conversation, An Ruolan couldn't calm down, and after thinking about it, she still decided to give An Shiyan a wake-up call.

That night, An Shiyan asked the old lady to come out, but was stopped at the gate of the courtyard by An Ruolan.

"Fifth uncle, I have something to say to you." An Ruolan was wrapped in a thick fox fur, standing alone at the gate of the courtyard, and I don't know how long she had been standing.

An Shiyan was taken aback at first, and then scolded sharply in disapproval: "It's still cold, why are you standing here at night, what if you get caught the wind and cold again?!" ”

Although he said harshly, An Ruolan was not afraid at all, and said as a matter of course: "I'm waiting for you." ”

An Shiyan couldn't help crying or laughing, so she gently gathered her cloak and said, "You can also go to the study and wait for me, it's better than standing here blowing the cold wind." ”

"It's a long way from here to your study, and it's not the same as blowing the wind all the way, so I might as well save some effort." An Ruolan's reasons are very strong.

couldn't take her, An Shiyan had to admit defeat and said: "Okay, you're right, then what are you looking for me?" ”

The words are slowly spoiled.

An Ruolan hesitated for a while, looked up at his eyes and said, "Grandmother said that she would give you a noble concubine, that is, Miss Fang, are you happy?" ”

Hearing this, An Shiyan was stunned at first, and then asked rhetorically: "What about you, what do you think of Miss Fang?" ”

Although he covered it up, An Ruolan saw the surprise and expectation that flashed in his eyes.

She already knew his mind.

After being silent, An Ruolan still told the truth and said: "I don't have a good impression of the other girl, but I don't object to you marrying her, the important thing is that are you sure that this woman can give you the life you want?" ”

This question filled An Shiyan's eyes with surprise and surprise.

He couldn't help but smile with relief: "Lan'er, you have grown up, it's time to get married." ”

sighed in his heart, even if he was reluctant, his daughter had grown up, and it was impossible for her to stay by his side for the rest of her life.

An Ruolan looked at the sadness in his eyes, pursed the corners of his lips and did not speak.

An Shiyan stroked the top of her head and said with a smile: "Maybe I'm only suitable for love, not marriage, I know that Bi Ning is a girl who is not simple-minded, but what does it matter?" My marriage is destined to be a mess, and since she chose me, she must have realized it a long time ago, and I really fell in love with her. ”

"So even if the fifth room is in a miasma, you don't care?" An Ruolan was a little surprised by his thoughts.

An Shiyan smiled and nodded, "Because women can't influence me, my body and mind are in the court." Of course, if they go too far, I won't tolerate them. ”

"......" An Ruolan was dumbfounded, the person in front of him was full of confidence and ambition, he was no longer the useless person in his previous life who was constrained because of a woman and would only escape from reality, but like this, did he become cold and hard?

She couldn't tell which one was good.

Seeing that she was silent, An Shiyan patted her on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Lan'er, the woman in the backyard seems to me to be just a dispensable existence, but I hope you are different, if you are the first, indispensable, and only one in the heart of Wei Xing, I hope you can be free and not bound by the high-walled compound, so you need more help, and I will do my best to help you." ”

Instinctively disliked these words, An Ruolan frowned and said, "Since they are all women, why am I different?" And what about grandmother, is it dispensable for you? ”

"Of course not." An Shiyan shook his head, "You are my daughter, my mother is the one who raised me, you are naturally different, the woman I am referring to is my wife and concubine." ”

"In other words, only those who are related to you by blood and who are kind to you are different?"

This was originally a reasonable statement, but An Ruolan just felt disgusted, as if to say that love is dispensable, and only blood and kindness are the same.

"What about An Ruoxian, she is also your daughter, so it is also different? I remember when she first came home, you loved her very much. She just wanted to refute his arguments.

An Shiyan's answer was unexpected, "I have no feelings for her." ”

An Ruolan suddenly felt cold, "Don't you think your words are contradictory?" ”

An Shiyan shook his head without hesitation and said, "Lan'er, you are still young, and now you think that love is the most beautiful, just like me back then, but when you see the result, it is not as beautiful as you imagined." In comparison, blood kinship and career are eternal. I used to love Meng's, so I loved Wu and Wu, I loved you and Wen Yan, but this kind of love is illusory, I ......"

"I don't want to hear that from you." An Ruolan frowned and interrupted him, turned his head and said, "It's just your idea, I don't want to understand, not to mention that you just generalize." With such thoughts, do you dare to say that you are a girl who likes Fang? ”

She suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Fang Bining.

An Shiyan didn't laugh angrily, "Maybe." ”

An Ruolan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute him, so he could only turn around and say, "I shouldn't have come to tell you this, I'll go back." ”

Then he passed him and left without looking back.

An Shiyan smiled helplessly and advised: "The snow has not completely melted, be careful under your feet." ”

An Ruolan ignored him.

The man's smile was still gentle and polite, but she knew that his heart had really changed.

Not surprisingly, the conversation between the two reached the ears of the old lady word for word, and the old lady was silent for a long time, and said: "The fifth will be more and more promising." He also said: "Tell Miss Fang what the fifth child said as it is, if she is still willing to be a concubine for the fifth child, the matter will be settled." ”

Mama Song should be.

And Fang Bining's answer was: "I am willing, as long as I can be the person of Fifth Brother An, I can endure it, even if he doesn't have me in his heart, even if he can only look at him once a month, even if he shares a husband with other women." ”R1152
