No matter how doubtful he is in his heart, the most important thing in front of King Jin now is to win the position of envoy of Hengji Island.

Emperor Wanhua gave him a mandatory task, and if he didn't want to change the dynasty, he had to go to it, and he had to fight with King Gong to the end.

Even if he had a lot of concerns, King Jin had no choice but to fight King Gong to the death.

After the blood confession, the situation in the court changed suddenly, and the Jin Wang faction, which had been suppressed and almost unable to turn over, rose rapidly, not only restoring its original status, but also faintly having a tailwind.

Every morning in the court, the two factions are arguing, but King Jin and King Gong rarely speak, quite immovable, and the neutral faction is watching the fire from the other side, seemingly helping both sides, but in fact adding fuel to the fire.

Emperor Wanhua rubbed his fingers, sat and watched the civil and military officials arguing, secretly calculating the timing.

Not to mention how the court is turbulent, the backyard of the Marquis Wenxin's mansion is also turbulent.

After the so-called truth was revealed, Meng was judged to have lost his mind and was completely accused and imprisoned.

It is also ridiculous to say that in this incident, in addition to Meng Shi, the culprit, An Ruodan, who has nothing to do with it, was also implicated.

She was originally scheduled to get married in the second half of the year, but she was withdrawn.

Engaged to An Ruodan is the second son of Master Li, the servant of the household department-Li Luo, who said that this family affair can be settled, it is still stained with An Shiting's light, but now it is redundant to say that these are all redundant.

As early as when the Meng family "injured" Yan Li's family, the Li family had the idea of withdrawing from the family, and deliberately postponed the marriage.

The reason is very simple, saying that An Ruodan has a close relationship with the Meng family, and they don't want such a girl.

An Ruolan later learned that Yan Guogong's granddaughter-in-law, Yan Li, was a girl of the Li family, and she and Li Luo were cousins and brothers, and the relationship was very close, so it was no wonder that the Li family would hold a grudge against the An family and did not want to marry again.

The reputation of the girl who was divorced was ruined, An Ruodan cried so much that she cried so much that she went to Xinyue Yuan and scolded Meng, Rao was so angry that she was still angry, so she asked the maid to carry a basket of small pebbles and throw them at Meng Shi in the window.

Now Xinyue Garden has become a courtyard where the Meng family is imprisoned, and few people have come, and the courtyard that used to be quiet and delicate is now a barren, only the little girl who guards it.

An Ruodan led the maid to throw stones outside the window, and Meng Shi was scolding inside, An Ruolan rushed over when he heard the news, and saw such a chaotic scene.

"Stop!" Grabbing An Ruodan's hand, An Ruolan was furious: "If you dare to throw a stone into it again, I will break one of your fingers!" ”

No matter how hateful and chilling she is, she can't help outsiders treat her biological mother like this.

After being named the county lord, An Ruolan's momentum became more and more majestic, in the past, An Ruodan dared to play tricks with her, but now she is weak when she sees her.

Hearing this, An Ruodan hurriedly withdrew his hand, with a little flattery, and said weakly: "Sister Lan, I am also avenging you, if it is not her, how can you be criticized by the world?" After all, we sisters were all harmed by her. ”

Saying that, he glared at Meng Shi viciously and scolded at the window.

How could An Ruolan not hear that she was looking for excuses, so she lowered her face and said coldly: "Poor people must have something to hate, you took the initiative to associate with the fifth aunt before, and now you have fallen into a bad situation, how can you blame the fifth aunt?" As for my grievances with the fifth aunt, you don't have to worry about it. ”

An Ruodan's face was blocked so blue and white that he shook his hand and snorted coldly: "Good intentions are not rewarded, no matter what!" He muttered in a low voice: "What kind of compassion and kindness are you pretending to be, and you may be gritting your teeth with hatred in your heart." ”

Throwing the stone in his hand into the flower bed, An Ruodan was not in a hurry to leave, just stood aside, since An Ruolan wanted to pretend to be a good person, she wanted to see if Meng received this love!

An Ruolan originally came to stop An Ruodan, and when she saw her stop, she didn't want to stay longer.

Turning to Meng Shi in the window, she said, "Fifth aunt take good care of herself, Ruolan will leave first." ”

Although Meng Shi was locked up, he said to the outside world that she would be left in the backyard to recuperate.

Where would Meng Shi let her leave lightly, waving his hands and shouting: "Lan'er, you are really the county lord!" It was your mother who abandoned you, if you don't believe it, I can accompany you to the King of Jin to verify! ”

Hearing this, An Ruodan burst out laughing, held her waist and said, "Fifth aunt, you are really crazy, otherwise why don't you even know your own daughter?" Sister Lan has already confessed her relatives with the fifth uncle in front of the saint and the civil and military officials, Sister Lan is the daughter of the fifth uncle, and now, you still have to open your eyes and talk nonsense, no wonder your grandmother wants to lock you up, hahaha! ”

There was no schadenfreude for An Ruolan in his words.

An Ruolan looked at An Ruodan, who was smiling forward and backwards, and frowned.

Life experience is two words that she doesn't want to mention again, but Meng still wants to reveal her scars.

Although she was angry with Meng Shi in her heart, she couldn't get used to An Ruodan's actions, she pursed the corners of her lips, and she said to An Ruodan: "You shouldn't be like this to the fifth aunt, how to say it, the fifth aunt is also our elder." ”

An Ruodan stopped laughing and snorted coldly: "What kind of respect does a madman need, and if she can stay in the Hou Mansion, she should snicker." ”

Meng Shi heard An Ruodan's words clearly, shook his head at the window lattice and shouted: "Impossible! An Ruolan was not born to me at all, how could she be An Shiyan's daughter! You're not trying to lie to me! I want to see Brother Xu, you let me out! ”

He pointed at An Ruodan and scolded: "Don't be arrogant, one day I will get out of this cage, and I will definitely return today's humiliation a hundred times!" ”

An Ruodan was dismissive and sneered: "Let's talk about it when you go out from here, crazy woman!" Isn't it pretending to be very gentle and kind, what's the matter, don't pretend now? Revealed? ”

"You-" Meng Shi's dissatisfied, bloodshot eyes were about to split, and he glared at An Ruodan fiercely, but he didn't know how to refute it.

After all, she grew up with everyone's beautiful education, and the swearing words came and went just a few times, and she was still dirty when she said those outrageous words.

In the end, he just held back a sentence: "Get out of here!" ”

An Ruodan wanted to sneer a few more words, but when she saw An Ruolan's gloomy face, she closed her mouth and left with the maid first.

An Ruolan glanced at the hysterical Meng Shi, was silent, and finally reminded: "Those who know the times are Junjie, now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, if the fifth aunt still wants to live comfortably, what to say and what not to say, you can think about it." ”

He gestured and turned to leave.

"I don't need your fake kindness! If you still think about the mother-daughter friendship of the past, and have a little conscience, for the sake of the kindness I raised you, help me get out of here quickly, or I will never forgive you! ”

"Lan'er! Mother really loves you! You help your mother, your biological mother doesn't want you, I want you, I raised you, you can't leave me alone! ”

Meng's shrill shouts sounded behind him, and An Ruolan didn't look back.

Today's Meng, even if he is not really crazy, is not much better than crazy.

The cold wind was bitter, and the snowflakes fell silently.

When a simple carriage drove into the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion from behind, the Hou Mansion ushered in another wave.

Early in the morning, before she got up from the bed, the old lady asked someone to come over and pass the word, asking An Ruolan to accompany her to visit the old marquis.

Although the old marquis's illness did not continue to worsen, it did not get better, and now he is still lying in bed, and he may not be able to get up for the Chinese New Year this year.

An Ruolan was puzzled, she had also accompanied her grandmother to visit and take care of her grandfather, but she went with her, this was the first time that her grandmother asked her to come along, and it was still so early in the morning.

couldn't help but think about it, and the grandmother and maid below hurriedly waited for her to get up and change her clothes.

When I arrived at Songhe Hall, I first took off the big collar of my cloak when I entered the door, and then dried the moisture and cold air on my body by the smoke cage behind the door, and then I entered the warm pavilion on the east side.

Several concubines of the Murong clan were also there, and when they saw her come in, several ladies except for the Murong clan got up and saluted, An Ruolan hurriedly supported the three aunts, and said angrily: "Second aunt, third aunt, fourth aunt, are you trying to force Ruolan to run away from home?" ”

Since she was crowned the county lord, the three aunts saluted when they saw her, and she didn't dare to stay in the Hou Mansion.

The old lady smiled: "Lan'er is right, this is in her own home, don't talk about these fictitious things, it's not too late to pay attention to it outside." ”

The ladies accepted this and responded with a smile.

In turn, An Ruolan saluted several elders.

The third lady joked: "You are the county lord who deserves to be good and has no srest." ”

"The shelves are for outsiders to see." An Ruolan grinned, causing a room full of people to laugh.

After laughing for a while, the old lady left everyone to have breakfast together, and then said, "Today, you all go with me to the Hou Ye's place and recognize people." ”

These words aroused everyone's curiosity, but they didn't ask more, and only followed the old lady to the front yard.

The old marquis lives in the middle of the front yard Tingtao Garden, and most of the trees in the courtyard are pines and cypresses, which are still tall and verdant in the heavy snow.

After the group arrived, the old lady directly led the Murong family inside, and An Ruolan walked last.

The old marquis rested in the warm pavilion, the charcoal fire in the house was very strong, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt the heat wave gushing out from the gap in the curtain of the cotton door, and the group was immediately smoked red.

Along the way, her body was already hot, and after another smoke, An Ruolan couldn't help but sweat a little, Murong Shi hurriedly wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, and fanned her again, saving her from sweating for a while and her clothes were infected with wind and cold.

The old lady was calm, and as she stepped into the door, she beckoned: "Master Hou, the concubine has brought her four daughters-in-law and Lan'er to visit you." ”

Several members of the Murong clan hurriedly followed in.

The old marquis's voice sounded, a little lacking in energy, and said, "Lan'er is here, come and let grandfather take a look." ”

Turning the partition, he saw the old marquis lying on the kang, An Ruolan couldn't help but be surprised, but after not seeing him for five or six days, his grandfather actually changed his appearance.

Because of the illness on his body, the old marquis has been emaciated recently, and now he has almost become a handful of dry firewood, his pale and blue face, plus the bloodshot in his eyes, and the green shadow under his eyes, it is very scary to look at the past at a glance.

Not to mention An Ruolan, the concubines of the Murong clan were also taken aback.

The group was busy with salutes.

The old marquis was in good spirits, beckoning An Ruolan to his side, and asked for warmth.

Let the grandfather and grandson talk for a while, and the old lady said: "Master Hou, come here today, there is good news for you." ”

"Oh? What's the good news? The old marquis asked with a smile.

Because of his importance to An Ruolan, the old marquis even had a little gentleness towards the old lady who was close to An Ruolan.

The old lady smiled meekly and said, "Huijun is back." ”

The old marquis was stunned, and subconsciously raised his hand and pinched his ears.

The old lady covered the chill in her eyes, her smile became more and more gentle and supple, and said: "The concubine is also old, and she is not good at serving the Hou Ye, thinking that in the past, Huijun was the heart of the Hou Ye, and he also understood the Hou Ye the most, so she took Huijun back and asked Huijun to take care of the Hou Ye." ”

Hearing this, the old marquis was immediately overjoyed, but he could still maintain a little calm, and only bowed his head with relief and appreciation: "Madame is tolerant and generous, and I am fortunate to have a wife like this." ”

"Hou Ye has won the award, sharing worries for Hou Ye is what a concubine should do." The old lady squinted and smiled, making people unable to see the love in their eyes.

The third lady was in a hurry, and she didn't understand what she was talking about, so she bumped into the second lady next to her and asked quietly, "Who is Huijun?" ”

The second lady didn't marry into the Houfu before her, and she didn't know who this "Huijun" was, so she only shook her head when she heard the words.

The second lady and the third lady didn't know, and An Ruolan didn't know, only Murong was full of disbelief

The old marquis said a few decent words, and soon revealed the eagerness in his heart, and asked, "Then Huijun ...... now?"

The old lady smiled even more and said, "The concubine knows that the Hou Ye is worried about Huijun, so she has already asked someone to summon Huijun over, and she must be there in a while." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, an announcement came from outside the door: "Aunt Chu is here." ”

Hearing this, the old marquis's face was full of excitement, and he said repeatedly: "Let her come in!" ”

The old lady smiled silently.

An Ruolan leaned out without a trace, wanting to see who it was.

After a while, an old woman led two pretty maids in, and when the old woman saw the old marquis, she immediately wept and called out sadly: "Marquis! ”

The old marquis was stunned, who was this woman in front of him who was wrinkled, had sallow and rough skin, and gray hair, and looked older than him?

"......Forehead" An Ruolan was silent, I don't know if it was her illusion, under the background of the two pretty maids, the old woman looked more and more old and withered.

Although he wore gold and silver and dressed up well, he still couldn't hide his vulgarity, or rather, it was precisely because he was dressed up extremely luxuriously that he was even more vulgar.

The old lady smiled and said, "Master Hou, this is the Huijun you miss in your heart, don't you remember?" ”

The old woman also mourned: "Master Hou, I am Huijun!" ”

"Megumi ...... Huijun ...... "The old marquis rolled his eyes and almost turned his back on his anger.

"Master Hou!" The old woman hurriedly stepped forward and took the old marquis in her arms, and the old marquis saw her face full of furrows, and his face became even worse.

The old lady Shi Shiran got up and said, "Master Hou will be handed over to you to take care of, Mrs. Chu." ”

smiled and beckoned the four daughters-in-law to leave with their granddaughters.

An Ruolan glanced at his grandfather, whose face was blue, and suddenly realized, and couldn't help but be in awe of the old lady. R1152
