004 Olive Branch
The night wind hit, the branches and leaves rattled, and the ancestor's body shook for a while, but it was only for a moment.
Mother Zhou almost thought that she was dazzled, but her hand was one step faster than her brain, and she reached over and hugged the old ancestor's arm like lightning.
The ancestor has always been strong, and if she is usually replaced, she will definitely step back.
But unexpectedly, this time the old ancestor did not refuse, but leaned over slightly, turned his back to Fang Fei, closed his eyes and concentrated, and said, "Fang Fei, do you have something to say to the old ancestor?" ”
"That's exactly what I mean." Fang Fei bowed, stepped forward, and gently grabbed the other arm of the old ancestor.
The corners of the ancestor's lips twitched, as if he was holding back something, but he didn't speak, but glanced at Mother Zhou on the side.
Seeing this, Zhou's mother hurriedly retreated from the people in the back garden.
At this time, the old ancestor couldn't help but bend down and cough heavily.
Zhou's mother was busy patting her on the back, but she refused, straightened up with difficulty, and said in a deep voice: "Help me go back." ”
The ancestor was appointed as the wife of the decree, and she was the backbone of the Zhao family, and she has been living in the main house, symbolizing her pivotal position in this family.
The ancestors did not like the dark, and the house was always brightly lit at night, and the candlelight was not allowed to be extinguished after sleeping, from the beginning of the lantern to the dawn.
Under the bright lights, the old ancestor who closed his eyes and recuperated looked even older and haggard.
Zhou's mother brought half a bowl of tea-colored decoction, but she didn't hand it directly, but handed it to Fang Fei, who was waiting on the side.
Fang Fei smiled gratefully, took the medicine bowl over, and said, "Ancestor, let's drink the medicine first." ”
"It's still hot, let it cool first." The old ancestor opened his eyes suddenly, and the weakness was swept away, and in the deep eye sockets, his deep eyes were shrewd and capable, "Xue Niang, you can go out too, there are some words, I want to talk to Mrs. Tai alone." ”
"Ah, yes." Zhou's mother responded, and Chong Fang Fei gave a look of 'you grasp it well', and retreated step by step.
The room was quiet, and Fang Fei, who was on the side, was as tame as a sheep, letting the old ancestor's deep eyes scrutinize, and his breathing was so low that it was almost inaudible.
After a long silence, the candle flame burst open, breaking the silence of the room, and the ancestor closed his eyelids, and when he opened his eyes and spoke, the sound was desolate as never before.
"Fang Fei, I am already a person who is about to enter the earth, and I can still manage the Zhao family for a few years, I hired you back to find someone to share, after I am a hundred years old, the Zhao family can also have a person in charge, so that it will not fall apart and ruin the family business passed down by the ancestors."
"In this situation, the ancestor knows that you are wronged, but the matter has come to this point, what else can you do, you are destined to be a member of the Zhao family, so you will accept your fate. The original intention of the ancestor has not changed, and he still wants to hand over this burden on his shoulders to you. ”
The most important thing is that I am afraid that because of the arrival of Chen Shizi, if he knows that the Zhao family has such an unethical thing as a granddaughter-in-law marrying, he will definitely not let go of the Zhao family.
Under the nest, there will be no eggs, the ancestor wants her to knock out her front teeth and swallow blood, and live with the identity of Mrs. Zhao's wife.
Fang Fei naturally knew the stakes in this, but when she returned from rebirth, she was naturally unwilling to accept her fate, because the Zhao family was going to destroy the Nine Clans and go to the guillotine in the future, and she didn't want the last scene of her death to be staged again.
In her previous life, her younger brother was burdened by her notoriety, he was full of knowledge but could not participate in the imperial examination, and lived a miserable life in the cold eyes of his stepmother, and was finally implicated by the Zhao family and went to the guillotine together.
In her previous life, she was not strong enough as a sister, and she would never be bullied again.
On the way back, Fang Fei thought about it and could guess that the old ancestor would definitely not let her go, but he didn't expect that the old ancestor still wanted her to be the successor.
Leaving the Zhao family is inevitable, but not now.
Moreover, if she wants to go, she will also go openly, let the world know that she Fang Fei and the Zhao family have nothing to do with each other, even if the situation repeats itself in the future, it will not affect the Fang family.
At this moment, the old ancestor took the lead in throwing out an olive branch, Fang Fei naturally would not refuse, what she wanted was to ask for an equal quid pro quo.
"Ancestor, your mind Fang Fei understands and is willing to take responsibility. But there is one thing, you have to ask the ancestors to fulfill, the ancestors just said that the original intention will not change, Fang Fei will not change the original intention, what he wants to sit in the sedan chair is nothing more than the harmony of husband and wife, and the white head will grow old together"
At this point, the old ancestor only said that she still had thoughts about Zhao Rongzhao, frowned, and immediately interrupted the conversation: "You must know that you are now Rongzhao's grandmother, and it is absolutely impossible between you." ”
Fang Fei is affectionate to Zhao Rongzhao, so he lived so decadently in his last life.
This time, she has long stopped reporting any illusions, and she can't wait to clear up the relationship with the Zhao family immediately, even if she remarries in the future, her husband will never be Zhao Rongzhao.
immediately explained: "The old ancestor is too worried, and I have nothing else to ask for the eldest prince. ”
When the old ancestor heard this, he was half-convinced, and his deep eyes were imprinted on Fang Fei's face, as if he wanted to see into the depths of her heart.
Fang Fei couldn't help but sigh, and said calmly: "I am willing to be the arm of the old ancestor, all I ask for is one thing, when the Zhao family finds a satisfactory granddaughter-in-law in the future, Fang Fei begged the old ancestor to leave with a letter of resignation and let me go." ”
As soon as Mrs. Zhao died, in addition to the grandfather's mother, the ancestor, Fang Fei, who was the grandfather's main room, was the one with the highest rank in the family, and only the ancestor had the right to divorce his son's wife.
Hearing this, the ancestor was stunned.
She has also been worrying, after all, Fang Fei was widowed at a young age, if she has two hearts after becoming a family, and no one in the family can compete with her, what should she do at that time.
After thinking about it, I thought that I still couldn't completely entrust her, and it was the best policy to find an eldest granddaughter-in-law who could be a family as soon as possible.
didn't think about it, what Fang Fei thought was like this.
The old ancestor didn't say anything for a long time, Fang Fei guessed that she was still suspicious that she was still thinking about Zhao Rongzhao, and if she married into the Zhao family after the resignation, wouldn't she be smiling and generous? He immediately promised: "Please rest assured ancestor, even if Fang Fei wants to remarry, he will never re-enter the Zhao family, and his future husband will definitely not be someone related to the Zhao family." ”
The old ancestor thought for a moment, nodded silently, and muttered: "You are in your youth, this request is also reasonable, the old ancestor is not an unreasonable person, and he will answer you." ”
In this way, Fang Fei will not only not be embarrassed by the bride who is about to take charge of the house, but will do his best to assist her, the sooner the bride can take charge of herself, and Fang Fei will be able to leave the Zhao family as soon as possible.
Receiving the consent of the old ancestor, Fang Fei was overjoyed, but his face was silent, he picked up the decoction medicine that was put aside and handed it over again, and said, "Old ancestor, drink the medicine first, and then it will be cold when it is really cold." ”
The old ancestor didn't refuse again this time, he took the medicine bowl happily, drank it in three or two times, and sighed as if he could finally put down the heavy stone in his heart, and said: "Help me go to the couch and lean on, let Mother Zhou and them come in, I have something to explain to them." ”
Fang Fei nodded yes, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug the old ancestor who stood up tremblingly, only then did he realize that her body was much heavier, and her steps were light and fluttering, and she was a little vain.
According to her current situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to come out to preside over the overall situation this time, which may be because the ancestor compromised first.
