Chapter 206: Begging for a beating
After waking up, An Ruolan didn't dare to fall asleep again, tossing and turning until dawn.
As soon as the sky was bright, she couldn't lie down anymore, so she called Bailing and the vultures to come in and freshen up.
Sitting in front of the dresser, looking at the childish face in the bronze mirror, what came to mind was his face when he grew up, so cold and arrogant, rejecting people thousands of miles away.
She tried to squeeze out a smile, trying to look cheerful, but tears welled up in her eyes.
The vision is hazy, and the smile in the mirror is stiff and distorted.
The past is unbearable, she endured the sourness in her eyes and hid the sadness in her heart.
After freshening up, An Ruojin came over and called her to ask for peace together.
First go to Suotong Garden to ask for peace to the heir, and then go back to Yirong Garden to greet the grandmother, they arrived not early, when they entered the Songhe Hall, the second lady and the fourth lady were already there.
The fourth lady had An Ruoyun by her side, and looking at the behavior of the two, they were already a little close.
However, it is still a little unnatural to look at each other between the second lady and An Ruoyan.
After inviting the old lady to An, An Ruolan followed An Ruojin and sat down behind Murong Clan.
As soon as she started to speak, the third lady came with the young lady of the third room, and after a while, Meng Shi came late with An Ruoxian.
For the fifth daughter-in-law who always comes to ask for peace last, the old lady is no longer surprised.
When everyone sat down, everyone talked about homely things, and the atmosphere was quite warm and harmonious.
An Ruodan has been strictly disciplined under the second lady for a few days, and now she is much more peaceful, and when everyone speaks, she doesn't always interject and beg like before, she only sits with her eyebrows down.
Her quail-like posture made An Ruoxian, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, very heartbroken.
An Ruoxian and An Ruodan had a good time for a while, but later An Ruodan was locked up and disciplined by the second lady, and their relationship gradually faded. An Ruoxian knew that An Ruodan had lost the favor of An Erye, so she naturally didn't want to waste time and energy on her, and she had been trying to get close to An Ruoyun in the past few days.
She didn't fall in love with An Ruoyun's identity as a concubine, but wanted to get close to An Siye, she knew that An Siye was a little bit thoughtful and could cooperate.
His gaze swept over everyone present. Listen to trivial things that don't have the slightest nutrition. An Ruoxian pouted disdainfully, the woman in the back house is ignorant and boring, she must not be such a useless woman.
I was contemptuous in my heart. I don't know who mentioned it, and when it came to the matter that Fourth Master Zhong wanted to recognize An Ruolan as a righteous daughter, An Ruoxian immediately pricked up her ears and didn't miss a word.
The third lady couldn't hide her words. asked Murong directly: "Sister-in-law, what do you think about this?" β
Hear the words. An Ruoxian curled the corners of her lips mockingly, thinking that the third lady's mouth was so unstoppable, sooner or later she would offend people.
Murong Shi held the teacup in his hand, but he was not as angry as An Ruoxian expected. She said softly: "It depends on the meaning of the prince, and it also depends on whether Sister Lan is willing, I don't have much thought." β
She said and glanced at An Ruolan gently.
The old lady looked at YiqiΔ in her eyes. She was very satisfied with her suppleness and virtuousness, and smiled slightly: "There is no urgency about this." Even if they all respond, they will not be able to count until Shiting returns. β
Everyone said yes, what the old lady said.
Meng Shi stroked the silk handkerchief, looked at An Ruolan with a smile, and asked softly, "What does Lan'er think?" Let's talk about it. β
An Ruolan was immersed in her own thoughts, her feelings were not high, and it took a while for her to react, and she said respectfully: "I listen to my father and mother." β
She looked at the Murong family, and it was self-evident who her parents were referring to.
Meng Shi, who was originally happy and proud because of her answer, instantly fell into an ice cellar, and his face turned slightly pale.
Seeing this, the third lady sneered in her heart.
The old lady glanced at Meng Shi, drooped her eyelids, and said, "It's not too early, let's go back." I ordered An Ruolan's five daughters-in-law to stay and dine with her.
Then everyone got up and took their leave.
All morning, An Ruolan was not in good spirits, absentmindedly accompanied the old lady to have breakfast, she planned to go back to the room to rest, but was told that Zhong Siye was here to see her, so she changed her route to the front yard.
In the past few days, Zhong Siye often came to the Hou Mansion to see her, and every time he brought a lot of food, clothing and playful objects, each of which was exquisite and extraordinary, which showed that a lot of thought was spent and full of sincerity.
She didn't dare to accept it, but she couldn't refuse, and the things sent by Zhong Siye were very much in line with her heart, so she had to accept it both moved and helpless.
The so-called cannibalistic mouth is short, and the hand-to-hand is short, and she has received so many gifts from Zhong Siye, she has unconsciously favored Zhong Siye.
Thinking that this time Zhong Siye had collected some novelties to bring over, An Ruolan walked to the front yard happily, but as soon as she went out of the second door, she saw An Ruoxian.
An Ruoxian stood alone in front of the second door, obviously waiting for her.
Frowning imperceptibly, An Ruolan did not stop at his feet, intending to bypass An Ruoxian and leave.
"Sister Lan." An Ruoxian opened her mouth to call her, took two quick steps, and blocked in front of her.
An Ruolan had to stop and asked patiently, "What's the matter?" β
An Ruoxian chuckled, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and her seemingly pure and bright eyes were full of contempt and mockery, she said: "Sister Lan, have you heard that the fate between people is limited, and once it is exhausted, there is no chance to make up for it. β
With a heartbeat, An Ruolan suddenly felt uneasy, she remembered last night's dream.
The hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched, she tried her best to keep her composure, and said softly, "What the hell do you want to say?" β
"Nothing." An Ruoxian shrugged her shoulders, looked up at her and looked at her with her eyes darkening, with uneasy eyes, her heart was very happy, and said: "I just want to tell Sister SΓΉlan that some things, once lost, cannot be recovered, even if you start again." β
She leaned into An Ruolan's ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "In this life, you are destined to be lonely and desolate, and the people you love will be harmed by you and leave you!" You evil star! β
The pupils contracted violently, and An Ruolan was shocked in her heart.
The dream scene suddenly burst into her mind, and helplessness and despair poured out, sweeping over her entire mind, making her tremble in panic.
An Ruolan knew that An Ruoxian was deliberately provoking her, but she still couldn't restrain the anger in her heart, and the forbidden area buried deep in her heart was violated. She couldn't stay calm anymore.
Her eyes were cold, she pushed hard and pushed An Ruoxian to the ground, and then the whole person pressed up, but before she could slap down, a scream sounded in her ears, and Huang Ying rushed over with the old marquis and Zhong Siye.
"What are you guys doing?!" The old marquis roared. Furious.
"Grandfather...... Woo woo woo ...... "An Ruoxian preemptively. Wailing aggrievedly, he began to cry.
Seeing her being pressed to the ground and looking unbearable, the old marquis subconsciously thought that An Ruolan had bullied her. couldn't help shouting angrily at An Ruolan: "You don't want to get up for me quickly!" β
secretly looked at Zhong Siye's face again.
Just now he was entertaining Zhong Si in the front hall, when a maid suddenly ran in in a panic, saying that Miss Six and Miss Ten were fighting in front of the second door, and asked him to come and have a look. He didn't want to come, but Zhong Si proposed to come and see. He had to bring someone over, who knew that he saw such a scene.
The old marquis regretted it, he knew that this was the case, he would not bring Zhong Si over no matter what. At present, I only hope that Zhong Si will not change his mind because of this, and dispel the idea of recognizing Sister Lan as a righteous daughter.
At the same time, An Ruoxian was also secretly looking at Zhong Siye's expression.
She did this on purpose. In order to make Fourth Master Zhong disgusted with An Ruolan, but he replaced him.
However, Zhong Siye did not go as she wished. A look of disappointment and dissatisfaction.
Zhong Siye's face was always faint, and he couldn't distinguish joy and anger.
As soon as the old marquis and Zhong Siye appeared, An Ruolan had already guessed An Ruoxian's purpose, although she had regained her composure, she did not get up immediately according to the old marquis's words, but slapped An Ruoxian twice before Shi Shiran stood up.
Her reaction startled everyone present.
An Ruoxian's eyes widened in horror, covering her face and making no sound.
With a cold face and stubbornly red eyes, An Ruolan bowed generously to the old marquis and Zhong Siye, "My granddaughter has seen my grandfather and Uncle Zhong Si. β
The old marquis was stunned by her calm and atmospheric posture, and exclamation flashed in his eyes.
With such a bearing at a young age, his granddaughter will definitely be able to do it in the future.
The anger in his heart was swept away, and the old marquis nodded appreciatively.
Zhong Siye still had that indifferent look, stroked the top of her head with a smile, and said, "I can't wait for you to pass over for a long time in front, it turns out that I am naughty here, tell me, why did your little sister provoke you, you want to fight?" β
As soon as you listen to his intimate tone, you will know which side he is leaning.
An Ruoxian came back to her senses, she almost exploded her lungs when she heard this, she worked hard to arrange this scene, and was slapped twice by An Ruolan, was it just in vain in the end?
Facing Fourth Master Zhong, An Ruolan softened her face and said, "She begged for a fight by herself, so I am naturally not welcome." β
Hearing this, An Ruoxian was even more angry, she choked back tears, and looked at the old marquis pitifully, hoping that the old marquis could stand up for her.
When the old marquis heard An Ruolan's arrogant tone, he was angry, but when he turned his head and saw Zhong Siye's doting look, his anger disappeared immediately.
As long as Zhong Siye still looks at the six girls, he has nothing to be angry about.
He eased his expression, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I've beaten and I've been beaten, and my anger has subsided, so hurry up and accompany your Uncle Zhong to go shopping in the house." β
I didn't even ask why.
"Grandfather!" An Ruoxian screamed in disbelief, this is the end of this matter?
The old marquis looked at her sternly and said, "Why don't you stay in the backyard, why are you running here?" You still dare to contradict Sister Yan, why don't you go back and reflect on it? β
After that, he sighed to Zhong Siye: "The little girl is not sensible, so the nephew laughs." β
Zhong Siye arched his hand and said with a smile: "Shibo has seen the outside, the children's family is just when they love to play, and it is harmless to be noisy occasionally." β
He didn't even look at An Ruoxian.
The two exchanged a few more words, the old marquis went to the study, and Zhong Siye pulled An Ruolan and wandered around the house.
An Ruoxian sat on the ground in a daze, unable to recover for a long time. (To be continued) R466
