Chapter 143: Questioning

The breeze blows, the water pavilion is as silent as death, and the lotus tips in the lotus pond are swaying.

Meng Shi's face turned white at first, then he covered his lips and cried bitterly, shook it, and held on to the piano table to stabilize his body.

An Ruoxian hurriedly stepped forward to help her, glaring at An Wenyan angrily.

A "snap" broke the silence.

An Shiyan withdrew his hand angrily, and rarely lowered his face and shouted angrily: "Rebel, who taught you to be so presumptuous!" ”

An Wenyan didn't move, and replied lightly: "No one taught me." ”

Hearing this, An Shiyan raised his hand again, and Meng Shi hurriedly jumped up and hugged his hand, crying and shaking his head and begging: "Fifth Master, Brother Yan doesn't have a heart, you spare him!" ”

An Shiyan's raised hand trembled slightly, and he himself was reluctant to do anything to his son who had always loved and valued, but he couldn't let his son-in-law be unfilial.

In comparison, An Wenyan was too calm.

He bowed respectfully, contrary to his excitement, and said indifferently: "The son has no intention of contradicting his father and mother, but the son really doesn't want to listen to his sister play the piano." ”

Meng's heart trembled.

She looked at her son, whose face remained unchanged in front of her, but made her feel completely unfamiliar, and after a while, she asked with a little uncertainty, "Did Lan'er say something to you?" ”

At the same time as the words came out, she had an answer in her heart, as if she had found a breakthrough, her tone became firm, and she asked loudly almost in grief: "Brother Yan, you know that Lan'er is prejudiced against Xian'er, why do you still listen to Lan'er?!" What the hell did she say to you to make you do this to your mother! ”

The sharp voice pierced people's ears, An Ruoxian's eyes rolled, she bit her lower lip cooperatively, and snuggled into Meng's side pitifully, looking wronged.

Seeing this, An Shiyan was furious, he pointed at An Wenyan angrily, and was about to speak, but An Wenyan took the lead.

An Wenyan still had an indifferent and calm look, and when he heard his mother's sad questioning, he only frowned slightly, and asked, "Why does my mother think so?" Lan'er didn't say anything to her son, but your mother, why do you think Lan'er stirs up right and wrong again and again? What gave you the idea of this? The son doesn't understand what Lan'er looks like in his mother's heart, which will make you think again and again that everything is her fault. ”

Speaking of this, a wave of resentment surged in his heart, and a voice in his head was shouting, making him want to ask loudly - is Lan'er really my own sister, why does Mother Yi treat her biological daughter like this?!

This question was too unfilial and disobedient, and he didn't dare to ask it after all, so he only pursed his lips and suppressed the impulse in his heart.

Rao was like this, and Meng Shi was also speechless by his question, his eyes wandered in a panic, and he didn't dare to meet him.

An Shiyan's heart sank, and a strange feeling rose in his heart, he remembered the cause and effect of his daughter's throwing into the lake, the previous incident of the concubine falling down the stairs, the matter of the maid Huang Ying, the dispute between the sisters and the copying of Buddhist scriptures, and many small things that are not worth mentioning on weekdays......

It seems that since her daughter can remember, her wife has been constantly talking about her daughter's ignorance, and telling how much effort she has put into teaching her daughter and how much she has suffered. He has always believed in it, and every time he carefully comforts his wife, at the same time, his impression of his daughter is getting worse and worse. But if you think about it, you will find that because all his free time is spent on his wife, he does not spend much time with his daughter, who has always been silent in front of him......

He can't even remember what his daughter looked like when she was three or four years old.

There was a shudder in his heart, he didn't dare to think deeper, his expression eased, and he explained: "Your mother is only excited for a while, so she will not choose to speak, she still hurts Lan'er, Brother Yan, you are too worried." However, he did not have the slightest confidence in this, and even he could not convince himself.

"Yes, Brother Yan, my mother is very sorry for Lan'er! She is her mother's only daughter, who does her mother hurt if she doesn't care? You say yes, right? Meng Shi hurriedly spoke to hide her panic, and at the same time, she secretly looked at An Shiyan's expression, feeling uneasy in her heart.

An Wenyan didn't respond, his eyes swept over An Ruoxian coldly, and said, "Lan'er has grown up, and she doesn't need to be disciplined from time to time, so mother should continue to bother teaching her daughter." ”

Such an attitude shows that he does not believe Meng's words.

Meng Shi felt that he was sarcastically ridiculed by his son, his face was hot, and he couldn't help but get angry, and said aggrievedly: "Do you want your mother to ignore Xian'er?" If so, what would someone say about Mother? Does Brother Yan want his mother to be criticized by the world? Sure enough, in Brother Yan's eyes, his mother is just not as good as Lan'er! ”

Saying that, he cried again, An Shiyan had a headache, and he didn't know how to comfort him.

An Wenyan frowned, looking at his mother strangely, this is the second time, his mother said such a thing, he couldn't help asking, "Why does my mother compare herself with Lan'er?" You are your son's mother, your son respects you, Lan'er is her son's sister, and her son loves her, and there is no comparison between the two. ”

Hearing this, Meng Shi was annoyed again, and said, "Why can't you compare? You're ...... anyway."

Halfway through her words, she realized that her words meant to compete with her daughter for favor, so she immediately stopped and looked at her husband for help.

No matter what, An Shiyan felt sorry for his wife after all, so he had to stand up and change the topic and ask with concern: "There are already visitors in the front yard, why did Brother Yan come to the backyard?" ”

An Wenyan also knew that it would not be good to make trouble any longer, so he said: "My son heard that Lan'er was unwell, so he came over to take a look." ”

Speaking of his sister, anger rose in his eyes again, and he paused, and finally couldn't help but say: "Father also knows that there are guests in front of him, so why are you still playing the piano here?" If this matter spreads, I'm afraid that Yushi will impeach his father again. ”

An Shiyan was said to be embarrassed, both annoyed and ashamed.

Meng Shi couldn't see that her husband was sad, so she reprimanded: "Brother Yan, how can you talk to your father like this!" Your father is just a companion to your mother, so why not? Even if something happens, your grandfather is here, so what's there to worry about?! ”

Hearing this, not only An Wenyan, but even An Shiyan frowned.

"Brother Yan is right, I'll go back to the front yard." An Shiyan opened his mouth first.

Meng Shi thought he was embarrassed, glared at An Wenyan with disgust, and persuaded softly: "Fifth Master, you don't have to worry, such a trivial matter, as long as Father comes forward......"

"As a child, if you don't relieve your parents' worries, you really shouldn't add more troubles, my father-in-law has worked hard for me, and I can't make my father-in-law embarrassed." Ahn Shiyan interrupted her.

"But......" Meng Chu Chu looked at him pitifully, hoping that he would stay.

"You take Xian'er to practice, I'll go back to the front." An Shiyan didn't look at her pleading eyes, afraid that she would be soft-hearted.

Meng bit his lower lip and didn't open his mouth again, his well-trimmed fingertips clasped tightly on the table.

With a slight bow, An Shiyan left with An Wenyan.

Meng Shi was so depressed that she was on the low mound, her eyes were full of sadness and desolation, she didn't understand why things had changed like this, obviously her husband was still playing with her affectionately a moment ago, extremely gentle, why did she leave alone in a blink of an eye?

An Ruoxian obediently accompanied Meng Shi's side, her eyes flickered, she suddenly spoke, wiped the corners of her eyes and blamed herself: "It's all Xian'er's fault, if Xian'er can be liked by Sister Lan, Brother Yan will definitely not hate Xian'er...... Woo woo woo ......" he said and cried.

Meng's eyes lit up, yes, it's all Lan'er's fault, it's because of Lan'er, Brother Yan will become like this, and the fifth master will leave her, it's all Lan'er's fault! Why did she have such a daughter? I knew it was like this...... I knew it was like this......

The hatred in his heart surged, Meng clenched his fists, and his nails sank into his palms.

In the corner where she couldn't see, An Ruoxian quietly evoked a smile, since An Ruolan picked up An Wenyan so unknowingly, then don't blame her for being ruthless, now she, wanting An Ruolan to be ruined is just a matter of words.

Outside the pavilion, the blue waves ripple.

On the way back to the front yard, An Shiyan frowned, and he couldn't help but confide in his son: "I don't know what happened to your mother, she must be heartbroken, you are, you really shouldn't contradict her like that, and you shouldn't be ...... as a father."

An Wenyan said bluntly: "If the father thinks that the relationship between his children is more important, go back to accompany his mother, and the son should not see you." ”

This sentence instantly dispelled An Shiyan's idea of turning around, but he was still not at ease and worried, An Wenyan had no choice but to comfort him: "When the birthday banquet is over, it is not too late for my father to comfort my mother, as long as my father says a few words, my mother will definitely show her joy." ”

An Shiyan's face was hot, he was embarrassed, he coughed lightly and reprimanded: "Nonsense! ”

"My son is telling the truth." An Wenyan replied with a glance.

An Shiyan looked at him sideways, and always felt that he was yin and yang weird today, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you today, you don't talk big or small!" ”

Hearing this, An Wenyan's expression moved slightly, he pursed his lips and lowered his eyes: "This is the second time, when Lan'er is unwell, I see my father and mother loving and caring for my daughter, and my son feels sorry for Lan'er in his heart. ”

An Shiyan's heart was suffocated, and he asked urgently: "What's wrong with Lan'er?!" ”

An Wenyan shook his head, "My son doesn't know, the eldest brother told his son earlier that Lan'er was unwell, and it was his son who took the time to come to the backyard, but I didn't expect to meet the second sister and Lan'er on the rockery near the water pavilion." ”

"Rockery......" An Shiyan's heart jumped, and he instantly understood.

Lan'er must have seen that when she was sick, not only did they not know it, but they were also playing with their concubine in their arms.

After witnessing it with her own eyes, what will Lan'er feel like?

He didn't dare to think about it.

He also understood why his son was so angry.

An Wenyan looked at his father who blamed himself and felt guilty, paused, and finally said: "Father, my son has grown up, Lan'er has also grown up, we don't ask you and your mother to love and care for us more, we just ask you not to restrain us in the future, especially Lan'er, Lan'er...... He has more ideas than his son, and he is more transparent and intelligent than we think. ”

Thinking of the words he overheard, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Yes......" An Shiyan replied in a trance.

Growing up, before he knew it, his son and daughter had grown up, and he hadn't done anything...... R1152
