Chapter 266: Knocking
Any thoughts?
Naturally, there is no idea.
If she says yes, she won't be untrustworthy, and besides, if she runs to see him, won't she be left behind?
Even if she took the initiative in this relationship, she couldn't lower her status like this.
She refused too simply, which surprised Zhong Siye.
Touching his chin, Zhong Siye gasped and praised: "It is worthy of being my Zhong Siye's daughter, just to be so arrogant!" โ
"I don't understand what you're saying." Knowing that he was ridiculing himself again, An Ruolan didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Okay." Zhong Siye raised his hand to cover the top of her head, and grinned: "Since you don't want to see that kid, we won't see you, but your Uncle Xiang and Mr. Yi, you always want to see him, right?" You don't know, Mr. Yi cried and shouted yesterday for me to take you back to Qianxunju to live for a few days, he misses you. โ
"Nonsense, Mr. Yi won't be like that." An Ruolan was amused.
She knew that he was looking for a step for her, so that she could go to see the guard in the open, and not be left behind, this thoughtful care, whether it was her biological father or her heir father, had never given her.
Bloodline aside, Zhong Siye is a father who meets her ideals.
In the end, he couldn't resist the desire in his heart, and during this time, the Hou Mansion was very dull because of the rumors, An Ruolan thought that he could take this opportunity to go out and relax, so he went down the steps given by Zhong Siye.
She didn't forget to tell her mother, but when she went to Murong's room to ask for instructions to leave the house, Murong didn't see her at all, so she only asked the maid to pass the word and asked her to ask the old lady for instructions directly.
Such a perfunctory and cold attitude is not the first time, it used to be only occasional, but in the past two years, it has become more and more frequent, especially after An Ruojin's marriage was decided, such a situation is even more common.
said that she didn't care, it was naturally fake, but even if she was uncomfortable, An Ruolan didn't take it to heart, or rather, she was used to it and looked away.
What's more, now that the rumors are spreading, the heir mother is worried about Sister Jin's marriage, and it is normal that she has no heart to take care of herself, and she even thought that it may be that the eldest brother said something when he persuaded the heir mother to do his best to set Sister Jin's marriage, so that the heir mother had a mustard for her.
Whatever the reason, she told herself not to care.
When she went to Songhetang to report to the old lady, An Ruolan lied, and she used the excuse of staying in Zhongfu to get the old lady's consent.
The old lady may not be able to see that she is lying, but with the previous exchange, the old lady didn't want to detain her anymore, so she closed her eyes and nodded in agreement.
The so-called children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the old lady has also figured out a lot, as long as the children and grandchildren do not make too many mistakes in the future, she can no longer be too restrained.
But that doesn't mean the old lady doesn't care about her.
After An Ruolan left, the old lady immediately asked people to call the Murong clan over.
The Murong clan came quickly, she was always dignified and graceful, but today she looked very haggard and pale, with a faint circle of blue under her eye sockets, and bloodshot eyes, obviously she had a bad time these days.
The old lady knew that she was sad about the rumors, and she couldn't sleep well at night, and the dissatisfaction that was originally blocked in her heart instantly turned into helplessness.
With a low sigh, the old lady said, "Sit down." โ
Murong Shi thanked and sat down, she first took a sip of tea to cheer up, and then asked with a smile: "What is the matter with the mother calling her daughter-in-law?" โ
The old lady did not answer, but comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, I know the temperament and character of Yuqing and her family, and they will not dislike Sister Jin because of this." โ
Hearing this, Murong was moved for a while, but he still couldn't hide his worries: "It's not that my daughter-in-law doesn't believe in my cousin and grandmother, it's just that the Zhou family still has Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou. As he spoke, he wiped away tears.
"It's useless to be in a hurry." The old lady flicked the tea lid, her eyes were deep, "The only way now is to refute the rumors." โ
"The daughter-in-law knows, but the question is how to refute the rumors?" Murong clan's eyebrows tightened, he looked at the old lady expectantly, and pleaded with tears: "Mother, you can think of ideas, if this continues, Sister Jin'er's body will collapse!" โ
Although it has been several years since she took over the backyard of the Hou Mansion, she is still ashamed of herself compared to the old lady's wrist.
"Don't worry, I've figured it out, but it depends on how you do it." The old lady motioned for her to be at ease.
Hearing this, Murong Shi's eyes welled up with joy, and he was busy wiping away his tears, and said respectfully: "Please also ask my mother for advice." โ
Seeing her so happy, the old lady didn't know whether she was sad or happy, and couldn't help but let out a long breath, but she changed her words and asked in a low voice: "Sister Lan was taken out of the house by Fourth Master Zhong again today, do you know about this?" โ
Murong's heart jumped, and after thinking about it, he remembered that there was such a thing.
It was earlier that Sister Lan went to ask her for instructions to leave the house, but at that time, she was worried about Sister Jin'er's affairs and didn't have the heart to deal with it, so she directly asked Sister Lan to come to the old lady.
In an instant, the old lady wanted to reproach her for neglecting Sister Lan.
She immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "My daughter-in-law is at fault, I shouldn't ignore Sister Lan because of Sister Jin's marriage, and ask my mother to punish her!" โ
The old lady waved her hand and said earnestly: "I mentioned this to you, I didn't want to blame you, Sister Lan is not the first time to go out of the mansion, this Hou Mansion is very stuffy, and there is no one who really knows her cold and hot, plus Zhong Siye loves her so much, it is normal for her to be close to Zhong Siye." It's just that she is the young lady of our Hou Mansion after all. โ
Hearing this, she didn't like or get angry, but Murong knew that the old lady was beating her, and she was busy.
The old lady took a sip of tea and said: "I can understand your embarrassment, after all, it is a step-daughter who has been in the future, and if you manage it strictly, outsiders will inevitably say that you are strict, and you are too loose, and you can't get over it in your own heart." So you just have to be so loose and tight, neither good nor gossiping. It was okay before, since the boss has risen step by step, Brother Sheng's examination room is proud, and your mind has become more and more. โ
Hearing this last sentence, Murong Shi's face turned pale, and his eyes flashed with the wolf bรจi who had been seen through.
She had no way to defend herself, so she hung her head silently, looking like she was humbly repentant.
Seeing this, the old lady lowered her eyelids, and still said lightly: "Brother Sheng and Sister Jin, you are biased towards Brother Sheng, Sister Jin and Sister Lan, you are biased towards Sister Jin, and you are biased from your belly, both of them are biased, this is not a belly, and it is understandable to be biased, as long as it is not too excessive." โ
Speaking of this, the old lady paused and sighed: "I'm also wrong, I should have mentioned these words to you a long time ago, so now, Sister Lan is still obediently in the house." โ
Murong was startled, immediately knelt on the ground, and said in a panic: "It's the daughter-in-law who is stupid and failed to understand this, but it has caused the mother to worry and be sad, it is the daughter-in-law's fault, please don't blame yourself!" โ
She solemnly promised: "My daughter-in-law will definitely not treat Lan'er lightly in the future, and will love and discipline her as her own daughter!" โ
"I don't need your assurance." The old lady shook her head, helped her up personally, patted the back of her hand and said: "The children are all older, and it's too late to discipline now, but fortunately, the sisters are all well-behaved and polite, and they don't worry about it, you can have a snack on Sister Lan in the future." โ
Murong naturally responded in a row, and then remembered An Ruojin's matter, and couldn't help but say, "That Jin's sister's matter ......"
The old lady was helped by Mama Song to sit down again, and said, "Sister Lan has to go to the Jin Palace." โ
"Go to the Jin Palace?" Murong was full of doubts.
"Not bad." The old lady bowed her head solemnly and said, "Do you remember that Sister Jin was seriously ill back then, and it was Sister Lan who took her to the Jin Palace, and invited Dr. Zhang to diagnose and treat her, so that her illness was cured?" โ
Speaking of this period of the past, Murong couldn't help but feel guilty, and said ashamedly: "My daughter-in-law remembers it." โ
In the past few years, the spring breeze has been proud, so that she almost forgot that it was Sister Lan who saved her daughter's life, and it was Sister Lan who let her son try again and again in the examination room, and she also swore at that time that she would treat Sister Lan as her own, but she didn't do it, did the old lady say that she didn't want her guarantee, it turned out that she had already lost her credit.
The deeper she thought about it, the more she couldn't lift her head.
The old lady glanced at her, knowing that she remembered An Ruolan's goodness, and did not break her, but said: "Although the rumors that are spread now are not groundless, they have no real evidence, instead of blindly justifying, it is better to admit it generously." โ
"But once you admit it, won't you confirm the rumors?" The Murong clan was worried.
"Wrong." The old lady smiled slightly, "We just admit that Sister Jin was really sick back then, and as for whether she damaged her body, it was up to Imperial Doctor Zhang to decide." โ
Murong was stunned, and immediately came to his senses, and said ecstatically: "The daughter-in-law understands what her mother means, and the daughter-in-law will go to find Lan ......."
"Sister Lan has already left the house." The old lady interrupted her unhurriedly, glanced at her with hatred, and said, "You can appease Sister Jin first, and then talk about it, Imperial Doctor Zhang, wait for Sister Lan to come back." โ
When Murong was in a hurry, where was he willing to wait, and said: "It's better to let your daughter-in-law go to the Jin Palace, and beg the King of Jin to ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to come forward to explain......
Before finishing the words, he swallowed back into his stomach under the old lady's cold gaze.
"If you think that the old woman is harming you, you can go to the Jin Palace, but when the time comes, you will be talked about again, saying that the Hou Mansion bought Imperial Doctor Zhang to commit perjury, so don't come to me to cry!" The old lady warned sharply.
Murong's expression changed, and he snorted: "It's the same for Sister Lan'er to go......"
For the first time, the old lady found that her dignified and capable eldest daughter-in-law was so stubborn and stubborn, she was so angry that she couldn't speak, patted her chest and eased for a while before she spoke again: "Since I proposed to let Sister Lan go, I have my plan, and I also said it, if you don't worry, you can think of something else!" โ
The old lady directly put down the cruel words.
Where did the Murong clan dare to refute again, he didn't dare.
The old lady held her forehead with a headache, couldn't bear to look at her anymore, waved her hand and said: "Instead of worrying about it here, it is better to find out where the rumors came from, you can know it so clearly and carefully, I don't think it is an outsider." โ
"The daughter-in-law can save it, so people will inquire." Murong Clan's voice should be. R1152
