Chapter Ninety-Seven: Strike (Double Shift in One)

An Wenyan sent Meng back to Xinyue Yuan and unexpectedly ran into Xue.

"Madame, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Meng's slightly pale face, Xue Shi hurriedly greeted him with concern.

For Xue, Meng has mixed feelings.

She naturally doesn't like this woman who covets her husband, but at the same time, she pities this woman's deep love, after all, not everyone can keep an unresponsive relationship without regrets, not to mention, this woman also paid the most precious youth.

However, pity could not offset the guilt in her heart, she remembered that not long ago, this woman had tried to get close to her husband, although he later explained to her that it was a misunderstanding, and she also firmly believed in his affection, but it was a fact that this woman had caused their husband and wife to conflict.

Yes, she didn't really want to see Xue.

However, as a wife, she must be virtuous and tolerant, so she has to accept Xue's invitations every day.

Fortunately, her husband is as gentle and considerate as ever these days, and Xue is also very tame and respectful, and gradually, she is not so resistant.

In the face of Xue's concern, Meng nodded tepidly, and Xia He replied on his behalf: "Madame is fine, it's just a little chilly." With that, he helped Meng Shi from An Wenyan's hands and walked towards the East House Warm Pavilion.

Xue's face froze, he glanced at An Ruoxian, who also had a bad face, and quickly followed.

Entering the warm pavilion, Xue quickly set up the backrest and pillow, helped Xia He to sit on the warm kang together, and then poured hot tea. Respectfully presented to Meng Shi's eyes.

"Madame drink hot tea to warm up." Xue Shi smiled faintly, not looking courteous. It also reflects the care.

Meng's heart moved slightly, took the tea and took a sip, and said with a smile: "I'm tired." ”

As if he had received a great favor, the Xue family raised his head and said happily: "It is the honor of a slave to serve the lady. ”

In front of An Shiyan, she can call herself a concubine, but in front of the Meng family, she has always called herself a slave, so that she can appear more humble and tame. In order to make Meng more assured.

Meng Shi was obviously very respectful of Xue's respect, the smile on her lips deepened a little, and she made an exception to say a few more words to Xue.

"You're here to see Xian'er?" She asked.

Xue hung his head slightly. Standing humbly by the kang, he replied softly: "Madame loves Miss Xian very much, and the slave maid is very grateful, and the slave and maid are here to serve Madame today." Just take a look at Miss Xian by the way. ”

Xue knew that Meng was resistant to him. It was because she deliberately called An Ruoxian a young lady, in order to distance herself from An Ruoxian, so as not to have a bad relationship with An Ruoxian.

In fact, this was completely her thoughts, Meng did not mean to anger An Ruoxian at all, and even, after hearing her call An Ruoxian so estrangedly, Meng became more and more fond of An Ruoxian in her heart, and was even more dissatisfied with her indifference to her own daughter.

Although there are some inconsistencies. But Xue's purpose was achieved.

In An Ruoxian's view, Xue's cousin is to sell women for glory. She was already depressed because of An Wenyan's indifference, but her face turned cold on the spot, and mockery flashed in her eyes.

Meng Shi was rarely keenly aware of An Ruoxian's emotional fluctuations, and when he saw her with a small face, he thought that she was hiding her sadness, and he couldn't help but feel more pity in his heart, and even gave birth to a feeling of sympathy.

Her daughter didn't understand her good intentions, and Xian'er's well-behaved and sensible was not cherished by her own mother, and she was hurt by her loved ones, and they came together because of this pain, and they were quite fateful.

It's no wonder that Xian'er is so close to herself, it turns out that she lacks her mother's love, even so, why doesn't she treat Xian'er as her own daughter, so that they can comfort each other?

Meng was happy with his decision. She even forgot what she had said before that she would not raise An Ruoxian as a concubine, and began to think about how to discuss with the old lady about raising An Ruoxian as a concubine.

An Wenyan also followed all the way into the warm pavilion, and when he saw that the Meng family was no longer in the way, he arched his hand and said: "Since the mother is no longer in the way, the son will leave." ”

As if he had just discovered his existence, Xue Shi saluted in a panic and said: "The slave is worried about Madame, and she didn't notice it for a while, but she didn't know that the third young master was also there, and she hoped that the third young master would forgive me." ”

An Wenyan didn't have much feeling for the Xue family, only nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Seeing this, An Ruoxian's heart was on fire again. can be kind to a lowly concubine, but she is so cold and ruthless to her, where did she provoke him?!

After thinking about it, An Ruoxian decided that An Ruolan had slandered herself in An Wenyan's ear, and her heart became more and more resentful.

She won't admit defeat, she's going to decide this brother!

Meng Shi heard An Wenyan say that he was leaving, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Yan, our mother and son may not have spoken for a long time, so you can stay with your mother." ”

There was pleading in her tone, and a pair of autumn eyes were even more watery, An Wenyan couldn't open his mouth to refuse, so he had to glance at Xue's and said euphemistically: "Mother is unwell, let's rest, my son will come to accompany his mother another day to gossip." ”

With his father's concubine present, it was indeed inconvenient for him to stay longer.

When Meng saw him looking at Xue, she knew what the problem was, but she couldn't open her mouth to drive Xue away, and she was embarrassed, so Xue took the initiative to speak: "Madam and the third young master have a deep relationship between mother and son, so the slave and maid will not bother." She respectfully blessed herself, "The slave will come back another day to serve the lady." ”

Meng Shi was very satisfied with her knowledge, so he smiled and said: "You have a heart, since you are here, why don't you go to Xian'er's room and sit down, presumably your mother and daughter also have a lot to say." ”

She has a simple idea, since the Xue family gave her a chance to get close to her son, then she should also give the Xue family a chance to get close to her daughter, and besides, she also hopes that An Ruoxian can get along well with her biological mother.

It's just that she never thought about whether An Ruoxian was willing to get along with the Xue family.

Almost at the moment when her words fell, An Ruoxian's face became a little gloomy, and Xue's heart was happy, but she didn't dare to express herself, so she only bowed her head lightly: "Thank you, madam." ”

Seeing the two of them react like this, Meng Shi thought that the gap between them was too deep, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Meng Shi pulled An Wenyan and asked for warmth.

took the Xue family back to the east wing and dismissed the maid. After An Ruoxian closed the door with a "bang", she walked straight to the table and sat down, and said coldly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." There was utter impatience in his tone.

Xue frowned. Displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he said, "What kind of attitude do you have?" Did I provoke you? ”

During this time, her daughter became more and more weird, if she didn't know that the person in front of her was really her daughter, she would have suspected that her daughter had been dropped, and her daughter would never be so rebellious to her.

An Ruoxian just sneered when she heard this, squinted her eyes and said: "Isn't it a young lady who doesn't care about herself, and now what kind of shelf are you putting up." ”

"I'm also trying to prevent the Meng clan from being angry with you!" Xue was annoyed.

"You think everyone is as narrow-minded as you are?" An Ruoxian mocked without thinking. I just want to send all the resentment in my heart to the Xue family.

It's just that after the words came out, she regretted it a little, and she would have to fall out with the Xue family in the future. What should Xue do if she no longer sues her about her plan to murder her mother?

Thinking of this, she quickly eased her tone and said, "Meng's mind is very simple, and everything is under my control. You don't have to worry about her taking her anger out on me. ”

Naturally, it was impossible for the Xue clan to assume that he had not heard that sarcastic remark. She was aggrieved and heartbroken, and reprimanded: "Yes, I am indeed narrow-minded, but don't forget who gave birth to you!" ”

Hearing this, An Ruoxian sneered in her heart.

Don't say that she is not the real An Ruoxian, even if she is, she doesn't owe anything to the Xue family, because the Xue family gave birth to her just to use her. And not out of a mother's true love for her daughter!

What's more, in the original text, the original body has already repaid the grace of the Xue family's nurturing.

She just stumbled into her original body by mistake. She simply didn't want to have such a selfish and hypocritical mother!

Once again, she hated God for not letting her directly cross into An Ruolan, so that she could be by her mother's side justifiably, why suffer so many sins?

Of course, she could only think about this qiΔ“ in her heart.

Seeing Xue's calm face, An Ruoxian couldn't help but curse in her heart.

Suppressing the disgust in her heart, she pinched her thighs fiercely, forced out a few tears, and then ran over to hold Xue's hand, sobbing and coquettishly apologized: "Mother, I was wrong, just forgive me, I just suffered a loss in front of An Ruolan and An Wenyan, so I will be extremely angry with you for a while, don't be angry with me, I know that you love me the most, and I am also anxious about our plan......"

With a soft emphasis, a pleading tone, and moist eyes, Xue's heart softened at once.

Yes, her Xian'er is still so young, but she has to worry about their future, and now Xian'er is just angry to vent to her, why is she angry? Xian'er has already suffered a lot.

As soon as her heart softened, Xue thought of all kinds of excuses for An Ruoxian, she wiped the corners of her red eyes, picked up An Ruoxian, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Okay, my mother doesn't blame you, but your temper should also be changed, if it is known by others, it will definitely be criticized." ”

Xue is a typical hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, even if he is not angry and distressed, he is still his lips.

An Ruoxian couldn't feel her care, and pursed her lips disdainfully where she couldn't see, and said, "I know, I'll pay attention to it in the future." ”

Xue nodded, put her on the chair, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her tear-stained cheeks.

An Ruoxian was unmoved, just thinking that the Xue family was using a warm offensive to win herself over.

Xue wiped away An Ruoxian's tears, and then cared about her recent situation in Xinyue Garden, and then got up and planned to leave, but before leaving, she hesitated again and again, and still asked: "Xian'er, what do you think my mother can do to get Meng's favor and trust?" ”

Really.

An Ruoxian curled the corners of her lips mockingly.

I hit a wall with An Shiyan, so I want to start with my mother?

She really didn't misunderstand this selfish woman.

Recently, she has heard a lot about Xue's going to the study, and she was worried at first, but then she slowly felt at ease, because An Shiyan was indifferent to Xue's flattery.

An Ruoxian somewhat understood why the Xue clan changed her strategy, thinking that she was forced to be in a hurry.

As long as she thought that Xue's hard work was useless, her heart was extremely comfortable. But what made her care more was An Shiyan's attitude.

An Shiyan would be indifferent to Xue's flattery, which was really a big surprise to her.

In the original text. Although An Shiyan loved Meng deeply, he was also moved by Xue, just because Xue had always coaxed Meng to treat her like a sister, so that he could enjoy the blessings of Qi people in peace. However, after An Ruolan followed Wei Xing, the balance was broken, and An Shiyan was sad while seeking comfort from the Xue family. also began to gradually snub the Meng family, and when the Weiguo Mansion was rehabilitated, the Wenxin Marquis Mansion was implicated in An Shiyan and Meng's lawsuit against the Weiguo Mansion. In the end, the title of the Marquis was taken away, the fifth room was expelled from the family, and An Shiyan reluctantly sent the Meng family to the nunnery under remorse. With Xue for the rest of his life. Meng's was depressed.

The reason why An Ruoxian is disgusted with An Shiyan is because she feels that An Shiyan blamed An Ruolan's death and the harm to Weiguo Mansion in the original text, and she thinks that An Shiyan is a person who has no responsibility and is not lucky.

However, after these few days of observation, she found that An Shiyan was not hopeless.

As long as An Shiyan has not been tempted by Xue, she is sure that An Shiyan will be single-minded towards her mother.

She has decided to protect her mother in the future. I also have to train An Shiyan, a cheap father, after all, my mother's happiness is closely related to this cheap father.

The more you think about it, the farther you go. An Ruoxian even saw the scene of her father and mother loving each other and treating themselves as treasures.

Oh, by the way, it's still a brother-in-law, and I will definitely treat her like a jewel in the future!

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Xian'er?" Xue Shi looked at his daughter who was suddenly smirking in a daze, and called out in a scorching voice.

An Ruoxian came back to her senses in an instant, and when she saw Xue's suspicious eyes, she packed up her feelings, pretended to be casual and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xue frowned, glanced at her deeply, and asked, "What are you thinking?" Laughing so happily, you didn't hear your mother call you several times. ”

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I was a little excited when I thought that the better days were not far away." An Ruoxian's eyes wandered and said perfunctorily.

Seeing that Xue was suspicious, she quickly changed the topic and asked knowingly: "Mother, you just asked me how I can get a mother...... Meng's favor and trust, what are you going to do? ”

As soon as it came to business, Xue Shi was immediately diverted.

She sighed and said, "I think you have also heard that your father has always been very cold to me, and I have no choice but to start from the Meng family, and your uncle can't wait." ”

Uncle? An Ruoxian's heart jumped, and she quickly searched in the memory of the original owner, and then remembered that the uncles of the original owner had already arrived in Shengjing before the original owner entered the Hou Mansion, and now, the uncles of the original owner were waiting for them to gain a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion, so that they could borrow the resources of the Hou Mansion to break out of the world in Shengjing.

Because her previous attention had always been on her mother and An Ruolan, she ignored that there were so many other people.

She carefully browsed the memories belonging to the original owner in this body, and found that the purpose of the Xue family's forbearance for more than ten years to enter the Hou Mansion was not only to get An Shiyan, but also to pave the way for her mother's brothers.

It seems that she still underestimated Xue, this woman is far more ambitious than she learned from the original text.

It was not said in the original text that Xue entered the Hou Mansion in order to revive her mother's family, and she always thought that Xue was a woman who was crazy about love.

In fact, several uncles of the original owner were also mentioned in the original text, because those people were the more powerful assistants around the villain, but I didn't expect these little villains in the original text to rely on the original owner to make their fortunes at the beginning, which is really unexpected.

However, she is no longer the original An Ruoxian, and it is naturally impossible to cultivate power for the villain, but she still has to help these so-called uncles, of course, these people she is prepared for the male protagonist.

It's really sleepy and someone sends a pillow, she is worried that no one will call, and it is inconvenient to do things, so cheap labor will be sent to the door.

But-

If she easily agreed to help Xue calculate her mother, she would not be able to do so.

A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and her eyes lit up slightly, there is!

With a roll of her eyes, An Ruoxian slightly hooked the corners of her lips and said, "Mother, I have a way to gain Meng's trust and favor for you, but you have to agree to my request." ”

When Xue heard her say that there was a way, he was overjoyed and asked, "What way?" If the request is reasonable, I will naturally agree. She wasn't stupid enough to say yes.

After all, the change in her daughter made her feel wary.

For Xue's reserved answer. An Ruoxian was very dissatisfied, narrowed her eyes, and said slowly: "Mother." It was not easy for me to gain Meng's trust, you also know how much Meng cares about his father, since you want to get her favor, then you should get less close to your father in the future, otherwise I won't be able to help you, and even, I may be affected by you. ”

Her words were direct. Hearing this, Xue Shi was stunned.

After a strong ideological struggle, Xue slumped into his chair. Liu frowned, and asked with a hint of anticipation, "Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?" ”

You tell me? An Ruoxian asked with a sneer in her heart.

As the old saying goes, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and the Xue family is still too greedy.

Look at her look. Xue knew the answer. His face turned pale in an instant.

Seeing this, An Ruoxian's heart swelled with an inexplicable happiness, she saw her mother who used her as a pawn in her previous life and used her to please her stepfather, so she couldn't help but deliberately asked: "Mother, didn't you say that you are willing to do anything for me and my brother?" Do you regret it? Did you really enter the Hou Mansion for me and my brother? ”

asked three questions in a row, and deliberately asked in a trusting and naΓ―ve tone. Xue was almost overwhelmed by the question.

"I'm not only your mother, I'm also a woman......" under tremendous pressure. Xue couldn't help but hide her face and cry, tears of grief slid down her fingers and fell to the ground, but An Ruoxian only had the pleasure of revenge in her heart.

In the end, Xue still made a choice.

"I understand, I won't go to the study to find the fifth master again." Tears began to trickle down, she said.

When she goes out to the study, does she still have a chance to meet the fifth master?

No.

As she herself said, she is a mother, but also a woman, she loves An Seyan for more than ten years, but she has to temporarily let go of this relationship for the sake of her children and her mother's family, and she can no longer get close to him.

An Ruoxian just raised her eyebrows in surprise and said with a faint smile: "I understand, I will help you, mother." ”

Xue's heart is like a knife.

******

In the corner pavilion in the back garden of the Hou Mansion, the four sisters sat opposite each other.

It was the cold winter season, and the back garden of the Hou Mansion was covered with snow, with only a few flowers swaying in the cold wind.

An Ruolan propped her chin, looking at the petite flowers swaying in the ice and snow, her mind was full of flowers in the Weiguo Mansion, she thought about the eyes that were as bright as stars, and gradually lost her mind.

It's good to go up and say hello to him today, and I don't know when the next time we meet.

It's a torturous thing to know where he is, but not to see him all the time.

With a low sigh, An Ruolan gathered away thoughts.

An Ruojin next to her heard her sigh, and thought that she was sad about Fang Cai's matter, so she opened her mouth, but she couldn't hold it back, and comforted: "Sister Lan, don't be sad, you still have us." ”

An Ruoke held back for a while, and when she saw An Ruojin speak, she also comforted: "Yes, you have three of us, An Ruoxian only has one of the five aunts, you have two more than An Ruoxian, don't be sad." ”

"Oh, fourth sister, don't say it, it's really not comforting." An Ruoyan pushed An Ruoke and said angrily.

How can you compare cousins with mothers, and not more candy than anyone.

An Ruoke pursed her lips unconvinced, and said, "I'm not wrong, the three of us are more than the fifth aunt." ”

An Ruojin was amused by An Ruoke's innocence and innocence, and explained to An Ruoke: "We have a sisterly relationship with Sister Lan, and Aunt Wu and Sister Lan have a mother-daughter relationship, the two are different and cannot be compared. ”

"What's not to compare with," An Ruoke disagreed, and argued: "As long as it's all good for Sister Lan, it's done." ”

Hearing this, the other three were stunned, could it be that this is the legendary Great Wisdom and Foolishness?

An Ruojin didn't know how to refute.

An Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Let the three sisters worry, I'm fine, but Sister Ke is right, whether it is sisterhood or mother-daughter love, it is family affection, there is no need to be so clear, as long as you are sincerely good to each other." ”

When the three of them saw her smile, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and An Ruojin teased An Ruoke: "I didn't expect it, our sister Ke is so exquisite, it's really surprising!" ”

An Ruoke's face was slightly red, and she snorted: "I'm originally very smart!" ”

Hearing her words, An Ruojin and the three of them laughed unceremoniously, until she pouted and was about to get angry, she hurriedly stopped laughing, and said well: "Yes, yes, yes, our Miss An Si is the smartest!" ”

An Ruoke raised her eyebrows and smiled.

The four of them laughed and laughed, and their mood was clear.

An Ruolan is extremely grateful to be able to get such a group of sisters who treat each other sincerely, even if this life is full of suffering, she is not afraid. (To be continued......)
