Chapter 422: Peace
The third wife's attitude reversed too quickly, and the fast An Rong couldn't resist it.
Looking at the hand that was clenched by the third wife, An Rong was puzzled.
Didn't the third wife be hostile to her because of the Jade Pavilion?
Will the hostility diminish just because she's pregnant?
But the third wife's happiness is not like pretending.
She was so happy.
The old lady was also in a very good mood, she glanced at the third lady a few times and said, "Don't be surprised, I'm scared." β
The third wife said yes again and again, and then let go.
An Rong and Xiao Zhan stepped forward to say goodbye.
The old lady looked happy, her eyes swept over An Rong's lower abdomen, fell on her face, beckoned, and asked An Rong to step forward.
An Rong stepped forward.
The old lady held An Rong's hand, and An Rong sat down beside her.
The old lady smiled, "I have wronged you before, and so is your child, and I don't tell you about such a big thing, and it is understandable that a pregnant person is sleepy and has a bad mouth, don't be too thin-skinned, what you like and what is missing, even if you open your mouth, don't be wronged by the child in your belly." β
An Rong blushed and nodded to write it down.
The old lady patted An Rong's hand.
Her eyes swept over An Rong's wrist.
Looking at the red jade bracelet, the old lady was slightly stunned.
Didn't Grandpa Guo say that the wooden bracelet was in her hand, why didn't she see it?
Such a big thing, Grandpa Guo wouldn't lie to her, could it be that the broken wooden bracelet became a red jade bracelet?
The old lady was puzzled, but she didn't ask.
If she can't wear a wooden bracelet, she has no right to ask.
An Rongneng wore a wooden bracelet and was pregnant again, and her status in the Guogong Mansion could not be underestimated.
The old lady patted An Rong's hand and said, "The return ceremony is ready, the carriage is bumpy, but you must be careful." β
An Rong replied one by one.
The third lady over there was a little impatient, and said, "An Rong is pregnant, so she can't be too tired, Yu ......." β
Before the third lady finished speaking, the old lady interrupted her and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, I will talk about it when the grandfather of the country comes back, the hour is not too early, don't delay Anrong to return to the door." β
An Rong was slightly stunned.
The third wife was happy because she was pregnant, and she couldn't work too hard to take care of the Jade Pavilion, so she felt that she could take the opportunity to take it back.
Not really happy because she's pregnant.
But why did the old lady stop her from speaking?
The third wife was also depressed, she felt that it was easier to start from An Rong than to persuade Xiao Lao Guogong.
As long as An Rong and Xiao Zhan are persuaded and take the initiative to give up the management rights of Yujin Pavilion, Grandpa Guo will not disagree with An Rong and the child in her belly.
The old lady glanced at the third lady and sighed slightly in her heart.
There are some things that she doesn't know how to say to the third wife.
The Jade Jin Pavilion was opened in the hands of Mrs. Tai, and Grandpa Guo handed her over to An Rong, who could wear a wooden bracelet, and he must have had his plans.
The third wife wants to run the Jade Pavilion, and it is understandable to make some money, but she also has to do what she can.
An Rong's business talent is indeed above her, and it is a good thing for the Guogong Mansion to make the business of Yujin Pavilion boom.
Besides, if An Rong didn't give up the operation of the Jade Pavilion, the right to operate the Jade Pavilion would definitely fall into her hands.
What Grandpa Guo wants to do, no one can stop him.
An Rong and Xiao Zhan got up to say goodbye.
As soon as he came out of the Rosewood Courtyard, An Rong saw Xiao Jin'er coming over.
Several people thanked each other.
"Sister-in-law, the hot spring water you sent has a special fragrance, and the feeling on the face is also very special, I was going to go with you before, but unfortunately you are pregnant, you will definitely not be able to go, we decided to go today, where is the hot spring?" Xiao Jin'er asked with a smile.
ββ¦β¦ It is a hot spring deep in the plum forest of Jokhang Temple. β
An Rong's tongue was a little knotted.
The thought of so many people knowing that she was lying made An Rong feel uncomfortable.
If General Xiao knew that he had fooled his daughter, he wouldn't be angry, right?
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Xiao Jin'er smiled and thanked her, her face delicate and brilliant.
And her words made An Rong feel a little uneasy.
Because Xiao Jin'er said that the maid said that An Rong gave them all the hot spring water, thinking that she couldn't go to the hot spring, they would bring her some more.
After Xiao Jin'er and the others left, An Rong began to stare at the bracelet on her wrist.
Xiao Zhan shook his head and pulled An Rong towards the gate of the Guogong Mansion.
After getting into the carriage, he went straight to the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
Seeing the familiar gate of the Hou Mansion, An Rong's nose turned pantothenic.
Even though I had only been away for three days, it was as if I had been away for a long time.
Especially when I saw the gate, the green willows were spinning and looking at their tiptoes.
Seeing the carriage of the Guogong Mansion, she shouted happily, "Girl, the fourth girl is back!" β
When the carriage stopped, An Rong lifted the curtain, and saw Shen Anxi carrying her skirt and stepping out of the threshold of the Hou Mansion, with an impatient expression.
But she didn't go down the stairs, just waited there.
Waiting for Xiao Zhan to help An Rong out of the carriage, Shen Anxi came over to help An Rong and said, "Fourth sister, I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come back." β
An Rong was moved in his heart, and said softly, "I got up late in the morning, so I kept you waiting." β
Shen Anxi pouted and said, "Of course I've been waiting for a long time, I've been waiting for you to return for three days." β
From An Rong to the sedan chair, she looked forward to An Rong returning to the door.
"You don't know, after you got married, I couldn't find anyone to play in the Hou Mansion," Shen Anxi said lonely.
An Rong patted her hand and said, "No one will play in the future, you can go to the Guogong Mansion to find me, or you can find the county lord of Yiyang and the county lord of Qinghe to play." β
"I want to too, but my mother won't let me go out," Shen Anxi shrugged and sighed.
Mentioning the third wife, An Rong asked Shen Anxi, "Is the third aunt okay?" β
Shen Anxi nodded, "I don't know if it's good or not, my mother will gag every day, and my grandmother said it was a normal reaction." β
Saying that, Shen Anxi said again, "By the way, Fourth Sister, is it true that they said that you are also pregnant?" β
An Rong hummed softly.
Shen Anxi's eyes lit up instantly when she looked at An Rong, if it weren't for Xiao Zhan on the side, she wouldn't dare to move her hands and feet, she probably would have to touch An Rong's belly.
Along the way, Shen Anxi was talking to An Rong.
An Rong thought she would talk about Shen Anxiao's death, but Shen Anxi didn't mention it.
An Rong took the initiative to ask, "Where is Brother Xiao'er buried?" β
Shen Anxi shook his head, "I haven't been buried yet, but I just entered the coffin, saying that I would wait for the eldest uncle to come back and deal with it, for this matter, the second uncle has looked for his grandmother a few times, but yesterday, he came back from the prison of the Criminal Department, and he still remembered this injury all over his body." β
Shen Anxi felt that the second master was too concerned about Shen Anxiao's death.
Moreover, the more he was like this, the more angry his grandmother became.
Originally, my grandmother and my mother had discussed and buried him first, but because he came to the Hou Mansion, my grandmother was angry, and then the matter was hanging.
"A wound?" An Rong raised her eyebrows slightly, she glanced at Xiao Zhan, and her eyes were inquiring.
Xiao Zhan shook his head.
It wasn't what he commanded.
An Rong was puzzled, it wasn't Xiao Zhan's order, how could the second master be injured?
"The second uncle is very badly injured?" An Rong asked Shen Anxi.
Shen Anxi nodded like pounding garlic, "It's not an ordinary Yan zhΓ²ng, it's covered in blood, I heard that when he beat him, a jailer ruthlessly sprinkled salt ...... on it." β
Sprinkle salt on other people's wounds, and it hurts to think about it.
An Rong became more and more puzzled, it wasn't Xiao Zhan, so who else had so much hatred with him?
Shotsuru-in, main house.
The old lady sat on the pear blossom wood soft couch, looking forward to it.
The third lady sat down and was eating sour fruit.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the third lady hurriedly put down the fruit and glanced at the screen.
The first thing I saw was Xiao Zhan, who was dressed in dark blue, wearing a mask, with a tall posture and a majestic demeanor.
An Rong was half a step behind and followed Xiao Zhan, An Rong looked much petite.
As for Shen Anxi, he was extra petite.
Seeing the three of them, the third wife had an idea.
The daughter has to make up for it.
is only one year younger than An Rong, but it looks like he is two years younger, what kind of thing is this?
The old lady's face was still the same as before, there was no blood, her expression was kind, and her eyes were still a little red.
An Rong had the urge to cry in the old lady's arms.
Mother Sun brought a futon and placed it in front of the old lady.
Xiao Zhan gave An Rong enough face, and knelt down with An Rong to give tea to the old lady.
The old lady was satisfied.
Originally, she was afraid that she would not be willing to marry because of An Rong, and she would withdraw from a kiss once, Xiao Zhan would respond in her heart, but now she saw it with her own eyes, and she was completely relieved.
Thinking that An Rong was pregnant, the old lady hurriedly asked Xiao Zhan to help her up.
When you sit down, it's a matter of gossip.
Xiao Zhan has a cold temperament and lacks interest in those trivial matters, but he is extremely patient today, no matter what the old lady and the third lady ask, he knows everything and says everything.
An Rong's heart softened into a puddle of water.
In the house, there is a lot of fun.
But often on the head, there are always people pouring cold water.
No, the maid came to report, Princess Zhuangjun and Shen Anfu came.
At that time, the old lady's face sank.
The third lady was about to go out to greet her, but the old lady stopped her and said, "You are pregnant, just sit down and have a maid to greet you." β
This is not giving Princess Zhuang face at all.
In fact, the old lady didn't want to see Princess Zhuang at all, and she was not uncommon for Princess Zhuang to take the initiative to reconcile.
But when people come, it's hard to turn them away.
Soon, Princess Zhuang came.
Shen Anfu followed her diligently, looking like that, she really looked a little like her daughter.
The old lady who was supposed to get up to greet Princess Zhuang patted her knee and said to Princess Zhuang, "I'm getting older, my kneecap hurts, I can't give you a hello to Princess Zhuang, please forgive me." β
Princess Zhuang is not a fool, she knows that the old lady did it on purpose.
If your kneecaps hurt, you will go to bed to rest, and how can you sit in the main room and find sin?
Princess Zhuang said with a smile, "I heard Anfu say that you are not well, in addition to making amends and seeking peace, I also brought some supplements to the old lady, these supplements were specially sent to me by General Ao from the border pass, which is very good for my body." β
Princess Zhuang said, and the maid stepped forward with a bunch of supplements.
This is Princess Zhuang's sincerity.
General Ao Da loves Princess Zhuang very much, and the supplements sent to her by someone are definitely not bad.
is so sincere to apologize for peace, and if the Marquis of Wu'an wants to still hold the shelf, then it will be ignored.
The old lady frowned and said, "I have seen the sincerity of Princess Zhuang's request for peace, and I only hope that the two families can turn their rivalry into jade silk in the future." β
The word sincerity, when the old lady said it, her eyes were cold.
Princess Zhuang's sincerity in seeking peace is to make this known to everyone in advance, first gain a generous reputation, and then come to the door.
If the sum is not successful, it means that the Hou Mansion has not measured!
"Yes," Princess Zhuang smiled a little deeply.
As she spoke, Princess Zhuang changed her words and said, "In this way, I can recognize Anfu as a righteous daughter?" β
The old lady raised her eyebrows, "The Hou Mansion has been separated, and the second girl recognizes you as a righteous daughter, and her father and mother can take the idea." β
Shen Anfu stood aside and said, "Father said that he didn't dare to make an idea about such a big matter as resolving grievances between the two governments, and he listened to your intentions, grandmother." β
He will pretend to be filial.
The smile on the old lady's lips was a little sarcastic.
The third lady smiled, "Now that the grievances have been resolved, the second master can rest assured that he can make up his mind about this matter." β
The matter of recognizing the stepmother is a certainty.
Princess Zhuang's maid smiled and said, "Our princess can't wait to recognize the righteous daughter, second girl, why don't you hurry up and give tea to our princess?" β
Shen Anfu was very happy, waiting for the maid to bring the futon.
She didn't hesitate to toast the tea and say goodbye, and the stepmother called it very smoothly.
After she got up, she looked at An Rong and said, "Fourth sister, I have a few words I want to say to you alone." β
Shen Anxi looked at her vigilantly, "If there is anything to say, you can't say it to your face, the fourth sister is pregnant, so she can't walk around." β
Shen Anfu was a little dark, "I just said a few words to the fourth sister, what do you mean by that?" β
Shen Anxi snorted, what else can I do, I'm afraid that you will treat the fourth sister badly, just like the big sister did at the beginning, the child in the belly of the big sister who was almost harmed is gone.
Shen Anfu couldn't help but stomp her feet angrily, "I promise to just say a few words." β
Shen Anxi snorted, the fourth brother-in-law is here, if you dare to be bad, it will be strange if you can get out of Songhe Courtyard.
An Rong glanced at Xiao Zhan, got up and left with Shen Anfu.
I didn't go far, and I talked in the pavilion of Songheyuan.
When he sat down, An Rong asked, "If you have anything to say, you can just say it." β
Shen Anfu didn't hide it, and asked directly, "The salt on my father's wound was sprinkled by you?" β
words, albeit full of accusations and questions.
But Shen Anfu had an undeserved smile on her face, and seemed to be very satisfied with this approach.
An Rong's brows were furrowed, and she didn't understand what she was selling.
"It's not me," An Rong replied to her truthfully.
"Not you?" Shen Anfu was surprised, "How could it not be you?!" β
"It's really not me, if you don't believe it, forget it," An Rong was a little impatient.
Shen Anfu smiled, "Maybe my father offended someone again." β
An Rong looked up at Shen Anfu.
Shen Anfu shrugged and smiled, her smile was a little sad, "Do you think I feel sorry for my father and came to question you?" β
An Rong is noncommittal.
Shen Anfu laughed at herself, and said a little gaffe, "I feel sorry for him?!" Who will feel sorry for my younger brother who died young, who will feel sorry for my crazy mother, and who will feel sorry for me?! β
A series of rhetorical questions, An Rong was a little confused.
Shen Anfu seems to hate the second master a little.
But just now in the house, she was very attentive to Princess Zhuang.
"Are you willing to recognize Princess Zhuang as your stepmother?" An Rong asked.
Shen Anfu nodded, "I am willing, I recognize Princess Zhuang as my stepmother, as long as I please her, my father will not dare to do anything to me." β
I have to say that Shen Anfu is a little naΓ―ve.
An Rong shook his head and smiled, "I don't know if you really resent your father or deliberately lied to me, but I have to say that compared to your father, you are still too tender." β
Shen Anfu's face sank, "What do you mean by this?" β
An Rong shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Do you think it's a coincidence that you were picked by Princess Zhuang to be a righteous daughter in the Jokhang Temple?" β
As soon as An Rong asked, Shen Anfu's face became more and more unsightly.
The embroidered handkerchief in her hand was twisted fiercely, and her nails were eager to wear the embroidered handkerchief.
She bit her lip and looked at An Rong, "Fourth sister, what else do you know, you sue me, I'm going crazy." β
An Rong shook his head and said, "You ask me, I don't know, I only know that General Ao has a stupid son, I think, the second uncle only has you a daughter under his knees, so he won't send you to the fire pit, right?" β
If you are calm, the clouds are light and the wind is light.
Shen Anfu's face was like ashes, and she almost collapsed.
The gazebo was silent, only the sound of the wind remained.
An Rong couldn't sit still, she asked, "You shouldn't just ask me about your father's wounds, right?" β
Shen Anfu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled sadly, "I just wanted to borrow something from you to please Princess Zhuang before, but now I don't need to." β
After speaking, Shen Anfu smiled, "Go back to the house, stay for a long time, the sixth sister will worry about you." β
Shen Anfu got up and left first.
Looking at her lonely and desolate back, An Rong felt that she was pitiful, pitiful that she had a ruthless father.
Peony wondered, "What does the second girl want to borrow from the young grandmother to please Princess Zhuang?" β
An Rong was also curious.
What is there that Princess Zhuang doesn't have, she has a kind of big brother with heavy soldiers, and even the queen is on the pole to slap her, what can't she get?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Peony helped An Rong back to the main house.
As a result, as soon as he stepped into the house, two maids came behind him, one of whom was from King Zhuang's mansion.
She entered the door and said eagerly, "Princess, it's not good, the county lord's face is red and swollen!" β
Princess Zhuang stood up in shock, her face was extremely ugly, "If you talk about it again, how can the county lord's face be red and swollen?!" β
The maid shook her head and said, "The slave and maid don't know, the county lord didn't go out today, and the food was the same as usual, and the imperial doctor came to diagnose and treat it, saying yes, saying that it was ......." β
"Say what?!" Princess Zhuang was anxious to fan the maid.
The maid glanced at An Rong and said, "The imperial doctor said that there was a problem with the soothing ointment, and someone poisoned it." β
Princess Zhuang's face was gloomy, but she was very reasonable, "It used to be good, why is it poisonous now?" β
The maid replied, "The county lord used up the previous bottle, and now it is brand new." β
Princess Zhuang's face was like a haze when she heard this, and she glanced at An Rong, "What a Wu'an Hou Mansion, the soothing paste I bought for 10,000 taels of silver is actually poisonous, I won't give up on this matter!" β
After speaking, Princess Zhuang threw up her sleeves and left.
An Rong was speechless.
Did Princess Zhuang's head be squeezed by the door, or did she go out without a brain?
Just now she apologized for making peace, and now that the matter has not been clarified, she is stupid to buckle her hat indiscriminately, right?
The third lady shook her head and said, "I heard that after knowing that Prince Zhuang was playing with children, Princess Zhuang became moody, it seems to be true." β
