455. The Old Lady's Secret

"Who are you?" Nan'er's puzzled voice came, breaking Yan Lian's thoughts, and when she saw that the person Nan'er questioned turned out to be the old lady, she was anxious to step forward, afraid that Nan'er would suffer, but was secretly stopped by Beichenqing.

Yan Lian can't deny that she hasn't seen her for a few years, the old lady is a lot older, and even looks older than Xie and the others, as if the traces of life aging are sent from the inside out, and she feels sad for a while.

For this old lady, she naturally can't get close, even if she didn't know Shi'er's identity at the beginning, she shouldn't threaten people with a child, this kind of practice is very shameful.

However, seeing her looking at Nan'er with kindness on her face at the moment, she found that any resentment and dissatisfaction had disappeared cleanly.

After all, it's not a real relative, so why bother others. Beichen Ao was with him when he didn't know that Shi'er was his biological son, which was indeed an unacceptable thing.

She can forgive Beichenqing, so why embarrass an old man who is about to die.

"I'm your grandmother, dear," the old lady saw the delicate Nan'er, the corners of her mouth trembled, and her eyes turned red inexplicably.

"Grandma?" Nan'er was stunned for a moment, remembering Grandma Yu she hadn't met, so she tilted her head and asked, "Will you be good to Nan'er?" ”

"Your name is Nan'er?" Seeing that the three grandchildren ignored herself, only this little girl who looked very similar to Beichen Ao when she was a child looked at her, and the elf's eyes kept staring at her, which made her nervous for a moment, afraid that the child would not be willing to take care of herself.

"Yes, my big name is not abandoned, my small name is Jiangnan, and my name is Nan'er," Xiao Jiangnan is a big ghost, and after introducing himself well, he continued to ask: "Will you be good to me?" She wondered if Grandma Yu, who was so good to her eldest brother, would be the same as Grandma and would be good to herself.

When the old lady saw Nan'er's delicate and cute appearance, she thought of something in her heart, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she nodded and said, "Okay, grandma will be good to Nan'er, very good, very good,"

The old lady didn't know that Nan'er was willing to talk to her, it was entirely because of the blessing of the deceased Grandma Yu, who had only heard the name but never met in her life, otherwise, the little girl would not be willing to deal with her.

"Really?" Xiao Jiangnan's eyes lit up and he said happily.

Seeing such a scene, everyone was speechless, and they also wondered where the old lady's excitement came from.

The old lady said well, it's really good, it's really good, it's good, Yan Lian's face is full of black lines - Beichen Ao owes Nan'er, so after coming back from the north, Nan'er is lawless. As long as Nan'er holds her mouth and her face is full of grievances, even if she wants the stars in the sky, I'm afraid she will climb up and pick them up.

She thought that the old lady said good to Nan'er, but she was just perfunctory, and what she wanted most was for the three grandchildren to return to Beichen Mansion, at least to call her grandma.

But to her surprise, the old lady really loves Nan'er, no matter what Nan'er asks, she is nervous and people are ready, leaving the twins aside, and the two little guys are not satisfied.

Why is everyone so good to Nan'er?

The dishes on the table are all Nan'er first, and more than half of the things are what she said, requested, and made Yanlian grit her teeth, this has one more person who loves Nan'er, and she is naturally happy. However, is it really good to be so petty?

The old lady and Yan Lian didn't talk about the old things before, as if they were covering up with each other, as if they were just a family who had been out for a long time and came back, and nothing unpleasant happened, and the atmosphere during the meal, because of Nan'er, was quite good.

Shi'er saw that her mother didn't speak, thinking that over the years, she had gone through so much, as long as her father was good to her mother and their brothers and sisters, she didn't want to say anything anymore. However, it is really difficult for him to open his mouth and shout "grandma".

In this life, he will never forget the humiliation he suffered here, and he thought of the heartbreaking appearance of crying on his skin, which was for his mother, and broke his heart for himself.

The old lady probably saw Shi'er's resistance, and didn't dare to ask for anything directly, only saying that he was the eldest son and grandson of Beichen Mansion, even if he didn't want it, he couldn't erase his identity, so he asked him to go to the study left by the old man in Beichen to take a look, maybe something could be used.

As soon as the old lady said this, the two Beichen brothers were shocked.

"Mother, like this...... Not okay!? Beichen Qing was the first to speak, and Yan Lian glanced at Beichen Ao suspiciously-what's going on?

"After my father died, my mother ordered someone to close my father's study, and even our two brothers never went in," there are a lot of things left in Daddy's study, and I don't know why my mother has to close it, so she doesn't want to open it, saying that she is not going to open it unless she is." But now, in order to open it for the sake of Shi'er, he and his eldest brother are up and down, and they don't know what his mother's idea is.

When Yan Lian heard this, she nodded suddenly, but she felt that things would not be so simple, so she kept silent and waited for the old lady's answer.

"What's so bad?" The old lady glanced at him, sighed slightly, and said: "When your father went out that day, he repeatedly told me not to open the door of the study, and warned me that you were not allowed to enter, so over the years, my mother has always kept in mind your father's instructions and did not allow you to enter the study......"

Beichenqing and Beichenao glanced at each other, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, not understanding why their father did this.

They remembered that when their father was still there, they were allowed to move at will in the study, and only some important ones would be hidden by their father, and even if they wanted to find them, they would not find them.

Knowing the shock of their two brothers, the old lady said a little sourly: "One day, after your father went out, I kept jumping my eyelids, let people lock the door of the study, and ordered no one to enter, and whoever wanted to go in was waiting to be killed...... But in the end, what I waited for was that your father was seriously injured in order to save the emperor, and finally he was powerless to return to heaven - since then, the door of the study has not been opened, I think, your father, when, maybe he will be back! ”

Yan Lian heard the loneliness and expectation in the old lady's tone, for so many years, it was not easy for her to support a Beichen Mansion by herself.

Suddenly, Yan Lian felt that the old lady was not so hateful and hateful.

Everyone has their own difficulties, they don't know the pain of others, so there is no need to hate too deeply.

The two Beichen brothers looked at each other, and some didn't know how to answer.

After all, it's not a daughter, you can't be coquettish, you can't persuade. And the old lady's two daughters-in-law are all scared by her, don't say close, even speak carefully, who can persuade them.

"Grandma doesn't cry," just when the old lady's eyes were full of tears, Xiao Jiangnan's sticky voice came to mind, solving everyone's embarrassment. "Nan'er is good to grandma,"

"Good, good," the old lady saw so many people in the house, but no one said anything, but the little granddaughter who met for the first time opened her mouth to comfort herself, and the mixed feelings in her heart may only be understood by himself.

Hang Qingqing and Yan Lian glanced at each other, and a trace of helplessness flashed in their eyes - the fragile old lady in front of them was unfamiliar to them, who knows if the old lady will remember the embarrassment now in the future and settle accounts with them.

"This is the key to the study, I have hidden it for so many years, and it can be regarded as a matter of heart," the old lady took out the key that she had always carried with her, and handed it to Shi'er by the maid on the side.

Shi'er took the key and glanced at his father, and when he saw that his father nodded slightly, he clenched it, and then bowed to the old lady, but did not open his mouth to shout.

"Go," Shi'er did not refuse, and the old lady felt that she was content.

What happened back then, it was indeed that I was sorry for him. As long as he can enter Beichen Mansion and admit his identity, it doesn't matter much if he doesn't call him his own.

Shi'er went to the study with no regrets, and the rest of the people sat down to accompany the old lady, and they didn't know what to say, the atmosphere was extremely weird.

"Let Nan'er and Bao'er stay with me, you all disperse," the old lady saw her two delicate granddaughters, thinking that if she had had had one more daughter, maybe she wouldn't be like this now.

has a daughter who is intimate and easy to talk to.

Yan Lian saw that the old lady really felt sorry for Nan'er, so she didn't say anything, and left with them, so that the two granddaughters could comfort the old lady's tangled thoughts.

After a few people left the hall, walking on the garden path of Beichen Mansion, all four of them retreated from the maid Xiao Si beside them, walking, silent, and no one opened their mouths to break the silence.

"Your mother has changed a lot," Yan Lian thought about the old lady in the past, and felt that compared with the present, it was like two people, no wonder Beichenqing said that the old lady has changed a lot, and it turned out to be really big!

Beichen Ao didn't know how to answer, in the past few years, he has been in the north and Jiangnan, and he has not returned to Beijing at all, and he doesn't know that his mother is completely like a different person, which makes people sad and lost, and feels that he is a little unfilial.

"Yan Lian, you don't know," Hang Qingqing saw that the two brothers were not easy to answer, so he automatically took it over and said: "After the sisters of the Xiang family left, my mother made trouble for me all day long, and later, you gave birth to three sons, and your blessings were spread in the capital, and my mother wanted to see it, but you didn't allow it." And I'm afraid that my mother doesn't like Bao'er, so I guard against her, gradually, there is no one around her to talk to, and she doesn't want to go out, so after a few years, later, Bao'er took the initiative to tell me, saying that grandma gave delicious food, I was shocked to plant unconsciously, my mother has changed a lot, so I can't believe it! "Don't talk about her, even Yanlian can't accept it.

Such old ladies, they felt sad when they saw it, as if they couldn't bear it anymore.

Yan Lian was silent, not knowing how to answer. The old lady will become like this, completely lonely and lonely and has no fighting spirit in her heart, so she has become so negative, as if she has changed a person. However, if she wanted her to leave Nan'er or any child in Beichen Mansion to accompany the old lady, she still couldn't do it.

Even if she is not filial, she really can't trust the old lady 100%, and she is still wary of her.

"Big brother, is there something hidden in Dad's study? Why did Daddy give such orders when he was about to go out? Beichen Ao changed the topic, after all, he was talking about his own mother, whether it was good or bad, he had some bad feelings in his heart.

Hang Qingqing and Yan Lian both ignored this discussion in a timely manner, after all, it was their man's mother-in-law, which was a little unkind.

"It's all gone, it's useless," Beichenqing was also complicated in her heart, she always thought that her mother was unwilling to let their two brothers enter her father's study, because of those unreasonable reasons, and even felt that her mother wanted to transfer the good things that her father put in the study to the Xiang family, and she was a little disgusted with her mother.

But now, when I know that the truth is such a thing, my heart is really mixed, and I don't know what to say.

Over the years, my mother has hidden this secret, and she should feel uncomfortable!

And they, as sons, did not comfort her, and broke her heart.

The old lady's words made everyone feel down, and they didn't know whether to be happy or crying, so they couldn't bring up the mood, so they sat down at the small table in the garden and found a topic to divert it.

Now, the most deliberative thing for them is what happened yesterday.

"The second princess is also quite miserable, she is still pregnant, if she is really escorted to a bitter cold place, where can she bear it?" Not to mention a princess, even if it is another woman, the kind of work in the countryside can't bear it. If one can't get it right, you'll have to die two deaths.

Hang Qingqing's heart is soft, after all, Xuanyuan Hua didn't do anything that was hated by others, which made people hate.

"That's her life, who let her have a mother concubine with a lot of ambitions," Yan Lian could only be speechless about Xuanyuan Hua's stupidity, fools know that Jin Junrin did such a thing, and the emperor didn't judge it, in fact, it was for her good. But what about her, in order to covet Mei Yihong, and even to sabotage Mei Yihong's relationship with Xuanyuan Ying, she actually wanted to design the emperor and let the emperor kill Jin Junlin directly, which shows her viciousness.

After all, that is the biological father of the child in her womb, even if she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to be so ruthless. Even the emperor has left a hand, why should she work hard.

You really can't be too ruthless, otherwise, you don't know when retribution will come.

"Alas, being so disturbed by the second princess, the Dongda people originally wanted to ask the emperor for marriage when the emperor rewarded him, but it was also delayed," Beichen Ao thought of this and felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.

"He's going to marry Mei Yilan?" Beichenqing heard some of them, so he asked curiously.

Hang Qingqing's eyes widened even more, and surprise flashed in her eyes.

For divorced women, remarriage is basically impossible.

One is because of their special status, and the other is because they remarry, they can't be their wives, and they can't be wronged by their own identity, so it is rare to remarry with divorced women, so when they heard Beichenqing say this, they stared at Beichen's proud answer curiously, thinking that Mei Yilan would really remarry, what about Shangguan Hao? What will be the reaction?

Thinking of the dealings with the official mansion at the beginning, Hang Qingqing still felt a little regretful in his heart.

"Yes," Beichen Ao didn't hide it, but nodded directly.

"Will Dong Congrong's family agree?" Beichenqing was a little worried.

"The owner has three sons-in-law, and the lord of Dongcheng hopes that Dong Congrong will come to Beijing to develop, and it is fate to be able to marry Mei Yilan, but I don't know if Mei Yihong will agree after he knows," Yan Lian felt that Dong Congrong's method of cutting first and then playing was a little bad.

"That, Yan Lian, do people marry Mei Yilan as a wife or a concubine!?" Hang Qingqing couldn't help but be curious, and couldn't help asking.

"Naturally, it's a wife, and it's a wife," Yan Lian kindly explained to her: "Originally, the two of them could do their family affairs in Jiangnan, but Dong Congrong said that he wanted to give Mei Yilan a grand wedding, and tell the people of the entire capital that people are not rare Mei Yilan, he likes it, and he wants to give Mei Lan's name!" ”

This man is worthy of Mei Yilan's trust.

If it weren't for Dong calmly paying so much, it would be impossible for Mei Yilan to nod. You must know that women who have been hurt have their own protective film, which will not be torn lightly.

"Wow!" When Hang Qingqing heard this, he exclaimed: "Great, Mei Yilan has finally come out!" ”

"Hehe, Lan'er also thinks that it is best to leave the hypocritical place of Shangguan Mansion, these years, she has lived a very free life," Beichen Ao remembered Mei Yilan's confident and flamboyant appearance, and was also happy for her.

"Also, don't you know, I was idle in Jiangnan, so I came to a few restaurants, and they were all handed over to Mei Yilan to do, Dong calmly said, even if he gets married in the future, he will not restrain Mei Yilan, because he grew up in the north and knows best what people need, so as long as Mei Yilan is happy, he will not stop it!" This northern man is really a little different.

"She's bitter!" Hang Qingqing remembered Mei Yilan, who was not easy at the beginning, and couldn't help but redden.

Women, if you take a wrong step, then you take a wrong step, and there is no room for turnaround.

"This matter, let's talk to Mei Yihong first, I told the emperor directly without saying a word to him, it's a little inappropriate," Beichenqing thought for a while, and then said: "After all, Mei Yilan has been separated from each other, if she brings it up directly in front of all the ministers, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Shangguan Mansion?" The current Shangguan Hao is on our side, if it is too stiff, it will be difficult to stop! ”

This is Beichenqing, whatever he does, he is extremely calm.

Yan Lian and Beichen Ao glanced at each other, saying that she didn't want to care about this matter.

Dong Congrong is willing to ask for marriage in front of the emperor, which shows that he attaches great importance to Mei Yilan, what does it have to do with other people's face. As for what they think, she doesn't care, she doesn't ask, she doesn't interfere, it's okay.

If she was allowed to take care of it, she would not be able to help but refute Beichenqing's words.

People's face is important, isn't Mei Yilan's important?

At the beginning, how much grievances did she suffer.
