Chapter 24 Gaining the Initiative
"What?!" Shen Pingcheng stood up with a bang, "I don't agree to this marriage, I won't marry Sister Lan into the Qi family." ”
The old lady has lived for most of her life, and few people dare to refute her, she suppressed her chest angrily, and said, "You! You're going to me off! She talked about the background of the Qi family, and pointed at Shen Pingcheng: "Are you confused, in a family like the Qi family, Sister Lan can't find it with a lantern, I have carefully considered this matter, you don't care about Sister Lan as a father, I still feel sorry for my granddaughter!" ”
"Oh my mother, you don't understand this. You can know why the Qi family went back to Jiangbei to choose a daughter-in-law. Shen Pingcheng sat down again, hugged the old lady, and his tone gradually softened.
"The ancestral home of the Qi family is Jiangbei, and the old man has also returned to Yong'an City, so this daughter-in-law naturally wants to pick here." The old lady glanced at Shen Pingcheng and said reasonably.
"No, it's because Second Young Master Qi is seriously ill, this time Young Master Qi is in such a hurry to get married, it's for Second Young Master Qi! Chongxi! ”
The old lady was silent for a moment, her expression was stern, this kind of thing, Shen Pingcheng would not joke about it, she stabilized her voice: "Have you inquired about this matter clearly?" Don't chase after the wind. ”
Seeing Shen Pingcheng nodded, the old lady thought carefully: "This matter will be handled by my mother, if the Qi family really has such a matter, I will naturally not agree." ”
The old lady moved, and Shen Pingcheng went over to help her up, only to hear the old lady continue: "Now that you have been promoted, you will take care of a few more brothers, this glory and loss, you should understand these truths." ”
"Eh, I made a note of it." Shen Pingcheng helped the old lady walk around the house for a while before leaving Fuhua Courtyard.
As soon as Shen Pingcheng left, Mama Gui entered the house tightly, kneeling in front of the old lady with teary eyes: "Old lady, the old slave knows his mistakes, the old slave should not be cautious about the third girl, the old slave should be beaten, and he should be beaten." ”
"Okay, what happened to you will toss people and call the eldest lady over." The old lady waved her hand, the older the person, the more she wanted to keep a confidant by her side, although Mama Gui did a lot of dirty things on weekdays with her identity, but she was waiting by her side when she was a girl, and she should turn a blind eye to some small things.
"Old lady, you forgot, the eldest lady led Sister Hui and Sister Lan back to her parents' house today." Mama Gui secretly glanced at the old lady and whispered.
The old lady nodded, she really couldn't give up the Qi family's family business, she sighed slightly, and let Mama Gui help her into the east room.
It was close to dusk before Shen Lan came back from outside.
Shen Rong copied the big characters on the big kang near the window in the west room, and there was a sudden movement outside, she looked at the window, and saw Shen Lan's face colorless, and her lips were white, and the dress she was wearing was clearly not the willow blue hibiscus feather gauze skirt that Mama Li prepared for her.
Something was wrong, she frowned slightly, and got off the kang.
She put on a small jacket and went out of the west room, and Dongmei came in with the curtain first.
She took a step closer and saw Dongmei's pale face, and her voice couldn't help but rise: "Something's wrong!" ”
"Damn it! Slaves and maids should be damned! Dongmei "banged", knelt heavily on the ground, and kowtowed three times in a row.
"What the hell is going on!" She stabilized her breath, helped Dongmei to get up first, and asked her to talk well.
"The slave didn't know, it was originally on the way to Yang's house, and I didn't know what was going on, but when I arrived at Qi Mansion, the second girl didn't seem to know anything, and I followed Mrs. Qi all the way, and the slave and maid were guarding outside, and when they came out, the second lady of Qi said that she wanted to lead the second girl to Qi Mansion to go around, and I don't know how the second girl fell into the lake, the slave and the maid don't understand the water, it's all the slave's fault."
Dongmei said intermittently alone, and she didn't know what she said.
Shen Rong was confused: "Later." ”
"Later, the eldest young master suddenly appeared, and he saved the second girl......" Dongmei paused, and opened her mouth: "The second girl is wearing thin today, but she has entered the water again......"
This is to destroy Shen Lan on Qi Yuedong!
She regretted that she didn't know about this incident in her previous life, she thought that with Dongmei here, she could protect it, but now that she thinks about it, even if she follows herself, she may not be able to stop this matter.
If this matter spreads, it will be difficult for Shen Lan to marry a good family.
"It's all slaves and maids who are not good, and they don't protect the second girl." Dongmei said with a sad face.
Shen Rong took two deep breaths, "Dongmei, I can't blame you for this, you go back to the house to rest first." ”
She herself went to Shen Lan's house.
The maids and mothers-in-law were all sent out of the house, and Mama Li was no exception, and Mama Li didn't dare to speak when she saw Shen Ronglai this time.
Shen Rong lifted the curtain and entered the house, there was silence in the room, the air seemed to be frozen, she took two steps inside, and heard Shen Lan's angry voice coming from the inside: "Didn't I say it, no one needs to wait, go out!" ”
Shen Rong strode closer, "Sister, it's me." ”
She went directly into the inner room, Shen Lan sat on the edge of the bed with her back, and the brocade quilt of the bed was crumpled into a ball.
"You're right, it's nothing good today." Shen Lan smiled self-deprecatingly, remembering what the eldest aunt said to her in the carriage: "Your aunt suddenly sent someone over, and she told me if she had something to say, we all left the mansion, and there was no reason to turn back, so I went to the Qi Mansion to take a look." ”
"Sister, you go to your grandmother first, it's better to say it yourself than to say it by others, and if others say it, it may change the taste." She was afraid that the eldest lady would be one step ahead of Shen Lan, and she didn't care if Shen Lan agreed or not, so she would go first and then talk about it......
"What?" Shen Lan staggered up and looked at Shen Rong strangely, as if he didn't quite understand Shen Rong's words.
She didn't mean to resist Shen Rong, because she had already lost confidence in the Yang family.
"You go to Fuhua Yuan now, just cry, grandmother asks you, you still cry, don't say anything, cry for a while, the eldest aunt should come." She told again: "When the eldest lady comes, when the old lady wants to ask, you cry and ask the eldest lady, why don't you go to the Yang family, but go to the Qi family." ”
The more Shen Lan listened, the more confused she became: "What if the eldest aunt doesn't come." ”
"Don't worry, you'll come." She pushed Shen Lan out hard, and Mama Li, who was guarding the door, wondered, she was about to ask, but saw the second girl walking out in a hurry.
"Second girl, where are you going?" As he spoke, he was going to chase after him.
"Mama Li!" Shen Rong, who came out of the house then, called out to her and raised his eyebrows: "Mama knows why I've been sick these days." ”
