(291) Once prosperous and confused
Wang Qiaolan thought a lot, so her steps were much slower, and when she entered the courtyard, Lin Mengyao had already sat down. Mother Ann and Cuizhu served on the side, one poured peach blossom tea, and the other put peach blossom cake.
"Oh, Sister Mengyao is really blessed, even those who drink tea and eat are served!" Wang Qiaolan laughed crisply, then sat down by herself, reached out and took a piece of peach blossom cake and ate it: "It's delicious, I've been here for so long, it's the first time I've eaten it!" ”
Wang Qiaolan's words are full of accusations against An's mother.
Lin Mengyao knew what she meant, but she didn't hear it, she motioned to Mother An to take a pair of chopsticks to Wang Qiaolan, and said, "Sister-in-law Lan, don't worry, there are a lot of peach blossom cakes." And, let's use this anyway, it's clean—"
Lin Mengyao said this sentence with a lot of laughter, but it was like a slap in Wang Qiaolan's face. Her face turned red, and the peach blossom crisp in her mouth was naturally as hard to swallow as wax, and she was embarrassed to stuff the piece in her hand into her mouth.
Thinking that she really didn't look like a rich family at the moment, Wang Qiaolan immediately felt the gap between herself and Lin Mengyao. In fact, this is also the purpose of Lin Mengyao's words: she wants to beat Wang Qiaolan - you, Wang Qiaolan, are brought back by us, just guests, and you have to know how to respect yourself in many things!
Lin Mengyao's thoughts will inevitably make people think that she is intolerable, but in fact, she is really kind. At the beginning, in order to prevent Wang Qiaolan from committing suicide in grief, Lin Mengyao specially sent her to Taohuawu. But as a result, how could this Wang Qiaolan have a trace of the sadness of a new widow? Not only did she not have sadness, but she also became vain, but she was afraid that Du Zhuang had long been forgotten by her.
Lin Mengyao's good intentions, this Wang Qiaolan didn't know. What she thought in her heart was that Lin Mengyao looked down on her, and it was Lin Mengyao who deliberately cut her face in front of her subordinates. Because, pretending to be noble, he raised his orchid finger and sent the peach blossom crisp in his hand to the plate.
"Sister-in-law Lan, just use this!" Lin Mengyao sent another saucer over, put her peach blossom crisp on the plate, and still put it in front of her.
In this way, Wang Qiaolan's face became even more ugly.
"What's wrong with Sister-in-law Lan, isn't it unappetizing again?" Lin Mengyao saw her complexion, and when she didn't know: "Alas, look at me so carelessly, Brother Du has only been in the ground for a long time, how can Sister-in-law Lan have an appetite!" ”
When it comes to Du Zhuang at this moment, it is really not what Lin Mengyao wants, but seeing that Wang Qiaolan, who is still in widowhood, has already taken off her filial piety, dressing up in a fancy way, and forgetting her own - Lin Mengyao is really a little chilled by the dead Du Zhuang.
That Wang Qiaolan suddenly heard Lin Mengyao mention Du Zhuang, and was stunned for a while. After a long time, a few tears were squeezed out.
"Woo woo, Sister Meng Yao, how are you letting me live? I was going to forget the thin affection, but I didn't think about it, and you came to recruit me again...... Brother Zhuang, why are you so kind...... Woowoo...... How can you just leave me alone...... Although you let Gu Gongzi take care of me...... But people have families and rooms, melon fields and plums, how can you take care of me......"
In this way, Wang Qiaolan actually cried loudly, and even pulled Gu Beichen between crying.
Lin Mengyao smiled dumbly, this Wang Qiaolan actually used this trick in order to rely on Gu Beichen?!
Only, behind this loss of laughter, is pity for Wang Qiaolan. It's not because Du Zhuang's death made her widowed and pity her, but because she still deceives her in the name of Du Zhuang and feels pitiful.
At the beginning, when Gu Beichen solved the problem of the man in black and entered the house again, it was only a blink of an eye. If the man in black used Du Zhuang as a coercion to force Wang Qiaolan to lure them into the house, and then saw that he failed and murdered Du Zhuang, then how could the blood on the ground coagulate so quickly!
Du Zhuang has been dead for a long time!
At the beginning, it was Wang Qiaolan who was greedy for life and afraid of death, so she came to lure them into the house; Later, they were afraid that Gu Beichen would be angry with her, so they deliberately took Du Zhuang as a shield. Of course, even if Lin Mengyao knew these things, she didn't want to pursue them, after all, if they hadn't gone to spend the night, Du Zhuang wouldn't have died so miserably! Poor Du Zhuang, his parents died early, and he was the only seedling in the family, and after he couldn't stay, the Du family was also cut off from the incense.
Because of the guilt of Du Zhuang, Lin Mengyao was determined to treat the poor Wang Qiaolan, who was widowed as a newlywed. It's a pity that the poor must have something to hate! Even if Du Zhuang had already died that day, how could he let Gu Beichen take care of her as a widow with his last words? !
Saying such words, Wang Qiaolan is really not afraid that Du Zhuang will climb out to find her!
Lin Mengyao watched Wang Qiaolan cry out and grab the ground, and Wang Qiaolan raised her sleeves and wiped her tears.
"Sister Mengyao, you don't know, Brother Azhuang has always been a warm-hearted ...... But how...... I didn't expect it...... In the end, he ended up with a tragic death...... Woowoo...... Sister Mengyao, sister-in-law, I don't blame you for implicating us, but ...... It's uncomfortable...... How am I going to live my life...... Brother Zhuang...... Who's going to take care of me for the rest of my life......"
This Wang Qiaolan cried more and more miserably, and said that she didn't blame Lin Mengyao and them, but in fact, she wanted Lin Mengyao to be responsible, no, her real purpose was to make Gu Beichen responsible. In fact, how could Lin Mengyao not know her true intentions?! At first, Lin Mengyao always warned herself not to think too badly of others, but what she saw and heard today did confirm Wang Qiaolan's thoughts-Wang Qiaolan, she really had crooked thoughts about Gu Beichen!
With a long sigh, Lin Mengyao wondered if she should go back and take care of Gu Beichen, Liu Shenxiang, Gu Ruyu, and now there is another Wang Qiaolan, and the peach blossoms are really unstoppable!
"Sister-in-law Lan, don't be sad, be careful!" Lin Mengyao knows that she can't make soft persimmons today, if she retreats today, I'm afraid that this Wang Qiaolan will really gain an inch. So, I asked Mother Ann for a cotton cloth handkerchief and handed it to her, and said, "Sister-in-law Lan, although this brocade and satin is good, wiping tears, it is useless, it is better to use Mother An's cotton cloth......
That Wang Qiaolan didn't expect Lin Mengyao to say this anyway. This is completely different from what she expected, she always thought that when she cried like this, Lin Mengyao would always express something because of guilt, no matter how bad it was, she always had to wipe a few tears. But as a result, she clearly saw Lin Mengyao looking at her unusually calmly.
For a while, Wang Qiaolan didn't know if it was time to continue crying.
Wang Qiaolan was stunned, Lin Mengyao hooked her lips, wiped her tears, and said, "Sister-in-law Lan has to take care, she always cries like this, but she lives up to such beauty?" Besides, Brother A Zhuang has only been gone for ten days, and this soul is always not gone, if I see you like this, how can I feel at ease? ”
Seeing Wang Qiaolan's face, Lin Mengyao looked at Wang Qiaolan's clothes carefully and said: "However, I think that Sister-in-law Lan is also reluctant to be sad for Brother Zhuang, otherwise, how can I wear my mother's new silk clothes in addition to filial piety." Also, the dead are gone, and the living must live well. Alas, when Brother Azhuang saw this, he should also be relieved—"
Wang Qiaolan didn't know the origin of this dress, but she completely ignored An's mother's obstruction and put it on without authorization, in order to make Gu Beichen's eyes shine. It's a pity that Gu Beichen is still being identified by Lin Mengyao as her mother's. The clothes of a woman in her thirties and forties, and she wore the clothes of a woman of her young age......
Wang Qiaolan blushed instantly, feeling ashamed, she couldn't wait to take off this dress quickly: "This clothes...... This ......"
"Sister-in-law Lan, don't panic, my mother died not long ago, if you like her relics, just wear them......" )
