CHAPTER XVIII

"It's Elder Qi who insists on not accepting it." Wencui said with a smile, "If the slave maid goes to the Xiangju to invite the lady to invite the lady, I won't greet the fifteenth lady, please take care of yourself." ”

Mei Ruyan smiled on her face, "Okay, you are busy, don't worry about me." ”

Wencui bowed slightly and left.

Mei Ruyan held her breath in her heart, but Wenbi was still by her side, and she couldn't vent it.

Wencui's posture is quite high, but Wenbi is silent, saying that she is serving her rather than spying on her, and she doesn't take Mei Jiu and her in her eyes at all. Helplessly, these two people are the personal maids of the old lady's side, and she can't afford to offend.

Mei Ruyan suppressed the grievances in her heart and decided to find an opportunity to inquire about the situation, "Wenbi, you go back and help me get the embroidery frame, I want to stay here for one night and take care of my sister personally." ”

Wenbi was about to tell others to do it, but Mei Ruyan interrupted her and said, "You go and get it yourself, I'm afraid that others won't be careful." ”

Seeing Wenbi's hesitation, Mei Ruyan said again, "I know that I have just arrived, and I am not qualified to call the people around the old man, but I only believe you." ”

Wenbi glanced at her and bowed, "Yes." ”

……

The afterglow of the setting sun reflects an orange red in the sparkling lake.

Lanterns had been lit in the center of the incense avoidance, and many moths were desperately swooping up, and the lake breeze blew, and the moths were knocked down by the swaying lanterns.

Mei Yanran sat motionless under the porch and stared at the moth that was still struggling on the ground, like a picture of a lady.

"It's stupid." The old lady's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Mei Yanran turned around and saw an old lady in a crow-blue gown, and her face that bullied the frost and snow didn't look older than her at all.

Mei Yanran got up and called softly, "Mother." ”

The old lady sat down on the guardrail and glanced at her, "You are like these moths, thinking about things that do not belong to you. She sneered, looking at the vanishing afterglow, "Not everything can be reborn in the fire, don't be delusional." ”

"My daughter has never taught Jiu'er martial arts, let alone taught her what it means to be strong, she is just a cowardly ordinary girl......"

The old lady chuckled, slowly stood up, and stared at her condescendingly, "Really? I heard that she shot a second-order martial artist and a third-order martial artist with an ordinary bamboo bow. ”

The martial arts level is from one to nine, from weak to strong, although the second and third orders are only low levels, but they can kill two people with that kind of tatter in an instant, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

"Impossible!" It was the first time Mei Yanran heard the news, "Jiu'er didn't even dare to kill a fish, it was impossible to kill anyone!" ”

The old lady smiled shallowly, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, even if she is full of cowardice in her bones, I will crush her bones and reshape them." ”

Mei Yanran only felt dizzy, she held on to the pillar, gritted her teeth and said, "I ask myself if I treat you like a mother, why are you pressing each other tightly!" If you have hatred, you can come at me, why embarrass my daughter! ”

The old lady is a step-room, and she is Mei Yanran's stepmother. Most of the relationship between stepmother and daughter is not very good, in the past, the old lady treated Mei Yanran well, although it was not very affectionate, but she fulfilled the responsibility of a mother, but unfortunately this relationship only lasted until Mei Yanran was sixteen years old.

"Don't struggle uselessly, otherwise the pain will be worse." The old lady seemed to be very kind and admonished.

There was a dead silence in the courtyard.

As soon as the old lady was about to leave, the maid came to report, "Old lady, Wencui is here." ”

She stopped, "Call her in." ”

"Yes."

……

After a while, Wencui hurriedly entered and saluted the old lady, "I've seen the old lady." ”

"What?" The old lady asked.

Wencui said, "The two ladies entered the family tree early this morning, and when they went to the lakeside water pavilion to steam crabs in the evening, the lady was emotionally unstable and fainted, and before fainting, she said that she wanted to see Yan Niangzi. ”

The old lady smiled, "Lady Yan, go and take a look, don't be too excited to turn over and become a famous lady, right?" ”

Mei Yanran ignored the sarcasm in her words and left without looking back. Mei Yanran knows the old lady too well, she is a tough woman, she has never known what it means to be soft-hearted, anyway, she has already torn her face, no matter how much she flatters her, it is useless.

She ferried alone and hurried all the way back to Yuweiju.

Mei Jiu had just woken up, was sitting by the window in a daze, and saw Mei Yanran from a distance, tears burst out of her eyes, and she rushed out of her skirt with her skirt, and threw herself into her arms, "Mother! ”

"My son, don't cry, tell my mother, which elder have you entered?" Mei Yanran asked anxiously.

Mei Jiu was stunned for a moment with tears on her eyelashes, and said, "Elder Zhi." ”

Mei Yanran's face turned pale and murmured, "How could it be, how could it be ......" She suddenly thought of the old lady's words, "Could it be that you really shot the martial artist with a bow and arrow?" ”

"I ......" Mei Jiu squeaked, now almost everyone in Meizhuang knows about this matter, and some people have seen it with their own eyes, she can't deny it, and she can't recruit An Jiu......

"You say!" Mei Yanran said hurriedly.

Mei Jiu was secretly anxious in his heart, "An Jiu, I will confess, if you want to take the bow and arrow test in the future, you will come out to take the test, okay?" ”

Yasuku did not answer.

Facing Mei Yanran's serious gaze, Mei Jiu had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, "Yes." ”

"You...... Alas! Mei Yanran sighed and looked up to force back her tears.

Mei Jiu thought that she was making her mother sad, and hurriedly explained, "Mother, I didn't mean to kill people, those people are chasing us, I ......"

"It's fine." Mei Yanran said.

Mei Jiu never dreamed that her mother would have such an attitude, "However, it is clearly written on the Song Law that killing people will pay for their lives." ”

Mei Yanran didn't say anything, but said, "Let's go into the house." ”

Mei Jiu then entered the hall uneasily and poured her a glass of water.

Mei Yanran took the water cup and put it on the table in front of her, "Tell me about what else has happened in the past few days in addition to entering the family tree and entering the apprenticeship?" ”

Mei Jiu easily believed the words of others, and the person she trusted most in this world was none other than her mother, so she told the second old lady of Qiqi and Mo Si that she could not be included in the family tree.

After listening to this, Mei Yanran looked at her seriously, and was silent for a moment before saying, "You are a little different from before." ”

Mei Jiu lowered his eyes weakly.

Mei Yanran reached out and gently stroked her hair, "Don't think about it, take care of your body, my mother has some things to think about, and I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”

"Mother, why don't you tell me about my father? Why don't you tell me about the Mei Mansion? Mei Jiu couldn't help but ask.

"Your father...... He was a good-hearted man. Mei Yanran got up, "My mother forgot a lot of things, and I will tell you after my mother thinks it clearly." ”

Mei Jiu followed her out and wanted to ask again, but when she looked up, she saw tears flashing in Mei Yanran's eyes, and swallowed it again.

When Mei Jiu was left alone in the house, she realized that An Jiu was silent, "Are you there?" ”

No one answered.

"Anjiu." Mei Jiu called softly again.

Still no one answered.

Mei Jiu was worried in her heart, in the past few days, she has become a little accustomed to An Jiu's existence, although most of the time that guy is talking cool things, but that guy is very powerful, like a protective shell, when she is scared, when she is bullied, someone can stand up to protect her.

"Anjiu ......"

"Are you abusive, get out of bed and sleep, don't bother me!"

Hearing An Jiu's irritable words, Mei Jiu finally put his mind at ease, called someone to come in and serve and freshen up, and obediently went to sleep.

The lights went out, and the room went dark.

The silence was alarming, and Mei Jiu heard many strange voices again, "An Jiu, shall we talk?" Are you in a bad mood? ”

"Get out!" Yasuhisa replied simply and crudely.
