The eldest man of the Ding family sat opposite his wife, and the husband and wife were relatively speechless. The people waiting in the house had already avoided it, and no one dared to come forward at this time, for fear of touching the captains' heads.

The chiming bell rang punctually, and the doctor raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

"What the hell are you thinking? How can you make your mother so angry that she leaves home? Still leaving the words to leave you? The eldest man sighed heavily, patted the table and asked his wife in a deep voice.

The eldest lady whimpered, "I'm just...... Looking... I can't bear to look at it! "The eldest lady thinks of the beautiful girl who was raised by her side, and now she is thin and pale and skinny, and she feels heartache." You don't see it, she's all out of shape......"

"What if you can't bear to look at it? You remember! How determined was she when she left? Even if the person sent by her own mother doesn't allow her to see us for the last time, can't she leave a letter for us? That's a girl with no heart! ”

Speaking of the adopted daughter, the eldest lord and the eldest lady feel very complicated, the child was entrusted to him by her own father back then, but the county lord of Xiuning then sent someone to take care of the child, as if he didn't believe in their husband and wife, put the child in their house, in the name of their daughter Ding Xiaoqing, but they were not allowed to discipline the child.

What a kid was taught crookedly!

"Don't forget, she's not our child anymore!" Thinking of what his mother told them about his adopted daughter after she arrived in Huzhou, Master Ding felt ashamed.

The eldest lady sobbed softly, of course she knew that her adopted daughter was dead. Now she has nothing to do with her family, but ...... "When I look at her, I think of my daughters who died in natural disasters." I...... Master! After all, she called our father and mother for more than ten years! ”

Be. She has indeed been raised under their knees for more than ten years, but she has never been filial piety in front of her mother, and she annoyed the old man as soon as she met at the beginning of the year. If there is a slight disturbance, it will be noisy and noisy, and the old people will not be at peace.

Their husband and wife had a nurturing grace for her. She left fashionable and cold, and she was abandoned by others, so she wanted to come back? Even if the two of them are willing, can the rest of the Ding family be willing?

"Father?" Ding Xiushu and Ding Xiugang brothers walked side by side.

"Why are you here?" The eldest lady asked her son while wiping away her tears. As soon as the second son Ding Xiu walked to his mother's side, "As soon as I got out of the office, I heard my grandmother leave her cruel words and leave with the third aunt and thirteenth sister, so the third uncle asked us to come back quickly and ask why, what is going on?" ”

Brother Ding Xiushu had actually been listening outside for a while, and when he saw that his parents didn't get to the point, he was in a hurry to enter the door.

"Mother, don't be sad! The fourteenth and tenth sisters are now cared for by their ancestors. You should be happy for them. ”

"I ......" The eldest lady took her eldest son's hand and wanted to say something, but Ding Xiushu didn't let her mother say it. Instead, he said bluntly, "Don't you think it's strange? She is not familiar with life in Beijing, even if she is expelled from the Dou family, how do you know that you are in Beijing? ”

The eldest lady was stunned, she didn't ask her adopted daughter, "Maybe the county lord told her...... This is so much that even she didn't believe it, when she picked people up. I won't even let you see them, as if I was afraid that they would get entangled and ask for benefits. Will the county lord tell her daughter that her adoptive mother has entered Beijing?

The county lord of Xiuning is ruthless and selfish, and he does not abide by women's morals, and he is very bold and reckless, just ask if there is a woman in this world, who dares to ask her husband to recognize the illegitimate daughter born of her red apricot out of the wall, she dares! It is no wonder that General Pingliao counterattacked and took advantage of his unpreparedness to record the children born in the outer room on the family tree.

"Is the eldest son of the Nanjing Bo family really so unbearable? The Dou family refused to admit it, and would rather endure the green cloud cover and recognize his wife's illegitimate daughter than let his own daughter marry? ”

"Uncle Nanjing's eldest son is a cripple, his legs were crippled when he was young, he is almost twenty years old, Uncle Nanjing has not invited the prince, a clear-eyed person can see at a glance that this title is afraid that it will fall on his younger brother, and the eldest son who can't bear the title of the lord is the most embarrassing in the family, and after marrying, the decree and title have nothing to do with himself and the son born to her, and the Dou family naturally refuses."

The eldest man took a sip of tea, "Besides, this family affair is equivalent to the old Nan Jingbo coerced his life, even the old Pingliao Marquis is not happy!" But he couldn't open his mouth and regret it, but they saved his life! Wouldn't he be ungrateful if he repented? ”

Ding Xiugang sneered, "Lao Pingliaohou has never said it explicitly before his death, this family affair fell on the head of the granddaughter in the house at home, if he is sincere, he will set his name early, and there will not be so many things." ”

"From this, we can know the temperament of the Dou family, I'm afraid that the former Pingliao Marquis Shizi will not be able to please him after he comes back, right?"

The title of the Marquis of Pingliao is rewarded for merit, after the death of the old Marquis of Pingliao, according to the law of etiquette, the prince of Xiuning does not want her husband to be pressed by her mother-in-law, mother and son, so she insists that King Lu and the Queen Mother join hands to put pressure on the emperor, but now, the title of Marquis of Pingliao has been demoted, along with her own county lord position has also been reduced, it is considered to be stealing chickens and rice, and now the two husbands and wives are still reconciled!

With this case in the past, those who want to follow the example of the county lord of Xiuning and the king of Lu in the future, and want to pass the inheritance of etiquette, are afraid that they will not be able to do so!

The eldest lord vaguely felt that the matter of Pingliao Marquis justifying the name of the children in the outer room would make such a big fuss, it should not be a coincidence, but someone pushed behind his back, is it the emperor? Is it just because he was unwilling to be pressured by the Queen Mother and King Lu and did something against his will, so he fought back like this?

He turned his head to look at his wife, the eldest lady was still holding the hand of the youngest son, crying to him about how miserable the adopted daughter was, he felt sad when he heard it, but it was done by other people's mothers, and their adoptive parents now have nothing to do with the adopted daughter! Even if you feel distressed, what can you do? Can you really disobey your mother's will and bring people back? In what name? What identity?

"Mother, you sympathize with her, we all understand that the dogs and cats are in trouble, and we will be sad for a while if we know it, but this matter of her is a lifelong matter, and her mother doesn't care about her, how can we help? The name is not right, but she is a big girl's family, you have to be soft-hearted and act at will, if you don't get it right, you may damage her reputation, which can affect her lifelong events. ”

"If she is a confessor, give her an identity, let her stay incognito away from the capital, and marry a solid family in the countryside, and it will be the fate between us and her."

The eldest lady shook her head a little embarrassed, "She won't be willing, she still wants to come back to be a girl of the Ding family, marry into a high family, and look good for the Dou family!" ”

"The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper." Ding Xiugang coldly dropped this sentence, broke away from his mother's hand, and turned to sit down in the official hat chair on the side.

Ding Xiushu said: "Mother, you won't accept her, you want her to go back to Ding's house, right?" ”

"I'm so nonsense, no, no, it's just that when I think of her talking to your sister in the past, when she wants to marry someone in the future, she always says that she wants to marry a wishful husband, she wants to have a good family background, she is handsome and talented, and she has to be favored by her alone, a pair of people for a lifetime, no concubines, no room, only one spoiled her. But when I think of her now...... Not to mention the unknown identity, there is no parent to call the shots, there is no mother's family as a backing, and the bones of the body have been hollowed out again, how easy it is to get married! Not to mention finding someone who is really good to her! ”

Ding Xiushu turned around to make tea, handed the teacup to his mother, and touched his mother's cold fingers, he couldn't help but sigh, "You are a loving mother, but if you have to choose, do you choose her, or do you choose fathers and sons?" ”

"What are these words?"

"Think about it, the county lord of Xiuning has been hiding her, if I am General Pingliao, and now I have torn my face, I will definitely find the adulterer who is hiding, and beat him well, so as to eliminate the sulking of being cuckolded, don't you say?"

The eldest lady choked, "You mean that General Pingliao is likely to mistake your father for that ......" The eldest lady couldn't speak, but everyone knew what she meant by unfinished business.

"If not, then you must know who the adulterer is, otherwise who doesn't trust him, why is he fostered in our house?"

"But that man is already dead!" The eldest lady didn't expect that her reluctance to her adopted daughter might cause trouble for her husband.

Ding Xiushu looked at his mother's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Mother, she can go to her biological mother, why doesn't she go?" ”

"She said that she suspected that it was the county lord's people who drugged her, made her catch the cold, and there was a problem with the medicine she was given, so that her illness could not be cured, because the Dou family said to the outside world that she was weak since she was a child, so she was allowed to recuperate in Huzhou."

Master Ding sat aside, listening to the conversation between his son and his wife, and after a long time, he took the case, "If you are really reluctant, send the grandmother around you to see her, tell her what the brother said about her, let her change her name and surname, and arrange for her to marry as far away as possible, if she doesn't want to, let her go to her biological mother, we are benevolent and righteous, and the fate is over, so let's let everyone disperse well!" ”

If Ding Xiushu did not mention General Pingliao, the eldest lady might still want to fight for her adopted daughter, but she couldn't let her come back to Ding's house, arrange for her daughter to accompany her, and then treat her as a righteous daughter in the future, find a good family for her, with the Ding family, I believe that her in-laws will not dare to snub her.

But if, as his son said, General Pingliao drove her out just to catch out the adulterer of Xiuning County Lord, then she could only give her up for the sake of her husband and son! And in order to make her feel at ease, her husband also proposed to arrange for her adopted daughter to change her name and surname to let her marry, and the eldest lady felt warm for her husband's actions for her own sake.

"But I hope she can be smarter and promise us a tip."

Ding Xiushu's brothers exchanged glances, Ding Xiugang got up and said: "This matter is not too late, mother, you immediately send a grandmother to tell her, if she is willing, we will start to do it immediately, while the government has not yet sealed, hurry up and settle the matter, and everyone can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind." ”

The eldest lord appreciated the decisiveness of the two sons, "I'll go to your third uncle, and after you explain the matter to your grandmother, you will follow me to Fan's house to see my mother." (To be continued)
