At this point, the old lady spread out Xianchen's hand and put it in her palm, hit it on her palm, turned Xianchen's hand over, and hit it on the back of her hand, and asked with wet eyes: "Does it hurt on either side?" ”

Slim Dust nodded.

The old lady continued: "Chen'er, you are the meat in the palm of your grandmother's hand, and they are also the skin on the back of your grandmother's hand, no matter who of you hurts whom, it hurts your grandmother's heart, grandmother is old, she can't stand the toss, I don't want to see white-haired people send black-haired people anymore, grandmother begs you to let Yao go, okay?" ”

Xianchen was shocked, and then his mind was blank, like a night wandering soul wandering in the void space and could not find a way to come and go, and the surroundings were white and vast, empty and directionless.

No, avenging her mother is her direction, and for a moment, Xian Chen shook her head with tears and said, "No, grandmother, Chen'er can't do it, Chen'er can't let it go!" ”

The old lady was already in tears, she nodded, and held Xianchen's hand tightly, "It's an honest child, he won't deceive people, he won't do things that go against the law, and grandmother didn't hurt you in vain." ”

The old lady stroked the tears on her cheeks for Xian Chen, "Good boy, who wants me to let go of my hatred so quickly, I don't think I can do it, it's just Chen'er, Yao's family forced your mother to death back then, and she was also punished, God took away her unborn child, and deprived her of the opportunity to become a mother again, she has not lived happily all these years, can you just let her go?" ”

The old lady is kind, and the reason why she tolerates the Yao family so much is that she feels that the initiator of all this tragedy is actually her son, and it is her son who is sorry for her two daughters-in-law, and she doesn't want the tragedy of the Shen family to repeat itself.

"People often say, when is the time for retribution? It is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, not to mention Chen'er, you and the Yao family are both from the Ran Mansion, and we are all a family. ”

The old lady paid special attention to the wording, Xian Chen's emotions were excited, she was trying her best to avoid provoking Xian Chen, so she didn't directly say that you and the Yao family are family, if that is the case, Xian Chen will definitely be hysterical and say, I am not a family with her!

"When a family fights, there is only one final result, and that is to break the family to pieces, are these what you want to see? Chen'er, do you think that if the Ran family is defeated by you, will you really be happy in your heart? ”

Xianchen only felt that her brain was buzzing, every word of the old lady seemed to touch the depths of her soul, she just wanted to defeat the Yao family, but if the Yao family collapsed, would it implicate the Ran Mansion, would it implicate the grandmother? …… These were questions she had never considered.

"The palms and backs of the hands are all meat", this sentence echoed in Xian Chen's mind, lingering, she understood her grandmother's heart, her grandmother loved her and loved Ran Jacaranda and Yao, grandmother would protect her mother and herself back then, and now she will protect Yao and Jacaranda, these people are relatives to her.

However, Xianchen also has her own insistence, Yao's hatred of forcing her mother to death, she has not forgotten it for a moment in the past twelve years, and these twelve years of hard work are also to avenge her mother, how can she let go?

"Grandmother, I can't let it go, I can't do it!"

Hearing Xian Chen's firm answer, the old lady took a deep breath, looked up to the sky, and took back the tears in her eyes alive, not letting it flow.

"Dust, you know what? Although my grandmother has given the Yao family a lot of things over the years, she also has her own insistence, I insist that I can't abolish your mother's position as the eldest lady of the grandmother, and insist on keeping you the eldest lady of the Ran Mansion, and my grandmother just wants to protect you.

Because grandmother knows that once your mother is no longer the eldest lady of your mother, you will become a concubine from a concubine, and the status of a concubine is sometimes not as good as a girl, and she can be slaughtered by others, and grandmother can't see you being slaughtered by others, so no matter what your father and Yao do in front of me, I insist that your mother is the eldest lady of my Ran family.

Now that you have grown up, your grandmother knows that you have a seven-trick heart, you can see everything, lay out everything, no one in the Ran Mansion is your opponent, and no one can slaughter you, you are the one who can slaughter others, and grandmother believes that you can live well without your grandmother's protection.

The old lady immediately closed her eyes, "Chen'er, there is a debtor, your mother's tragedy, your tragedy and Yao's tragedy are all caused by your father, and the real culprit is my old wife, I gave birth to a son who is not a thing, it is my wife who did not educate this son well, so that he has become a mercenary and selfish villain, if you want to take revenge, you should first end my old woman!" ”

There was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, as if thousands of lightning had shattered Xianchen's heart, and it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe, how could she, how could she hurt her grandmother?

"Grandmother, why, why? ……”

"For you are all my children, and all are my flesh." Saying that, the old lady hugged Xianchen, and the grandparents hugged each other and cried together.

Xianchen knew that if she hadn't sent her back to Jiaozhou without her grandmother's decisiveness, she would have died long ago, and her grandmother did her best to protect herself, and she still remembered when she was a child, when her grandmother defended her mother in front of her father.

Grandmother is fair, she doesn't favor anyone, grandmother bought her a dowry shop, and also bought a dowry shop for Ran Huaying, when Ran Jianqiu grows up, grandmother will also buy a dowry shop for Ran Jianqiu, in the eyes of grandmother, they are all her granddaughters and have no concubines.

Grandmother is old, her back is hunched, Xian Chen is unwilling to hurt this kind-hearted old man, she compromised, "Okay, grandmother, Chen'er promises you, as long as the Yao family keeps to herself from today onwards, before I leave the Ran Mansion, she will not make a move on me, I will not make a move on her, if she does something to me, grandmother, don't blame me, then she is to blame." ”

Xianchen's voice was cold, but also infinitely sad.

It seemed that Xianchen had exhausted all her strength to finish the sentence, and her soul seemed to be emptied, a soulless shell, stumbling out of the old lady's courtyard.

Xianchen's eyes were blank, and she walked towards her yard mechanically, the road under her feet was uneven, and she walked up with a shallow foot, carelessly, her feet were empty, and she bumped into a big tree, and her forehead instantly rose a big green bag.

Xianchen didn't seem to feel it, she didn't know the pain, she leaned under the big tree, and it was Ah Feng who carried the lost soul of Xianchen back to Guilan Courtyard.

On weekdays, when Xianchen went to the old lady's yard, Su's mother would accompany her, and today she went alone, because the last time she went to the old lady's yard, she felt that the old lady wanted to say something to her, so she didn't bring anyone this time, and went to the old lady's yard alone.

Ah Feng also saw that Xianchen didn't come back for a long time, so he thought about going to the old lady's yard to see Xianchen, where would he have thought that Xianchen would fall next to the big tree?

Xian Chen's eyes were dull, and when he returned to the courtyard, he locked himself in the room, no one knew what happened to Xian Chen in the old lady's yard, and the people in Guilan Courtyard surrounded Xian Chen's door like ants in a hot pot.

Similarly, in the old lady's room, the people saw the old lady and Xianchen's ancestors and grandchildren hugging their heads and crying together, and then Xianchen left as if he had lost his soul, and everyone didn't know what happened between the grandparents and grandchildren.

The old lady's eyes were full of hot tears, burning her heart, she understood the pain of Xianchen, because at this moment, her heart was as painful as Xianchen's heart!

Seeing her old master's tearful appearance, Mother Xue couldn't bear it, so she called hot water and wrung a hot water handkerchief to wipe away the tears on the old lady's face, "Old lady, what's wrong with you, why are you so sad?" You're an old man, you hurt your body once you are sad, you have to protect your body! ”

The old lady took the handkerchief in Mother Xue's hand, stabilized her emotions, and her eyes were gloomy, "Mother Xue, I'll come by myself, you go and help me call the Yao family." ”

"Old lady, can you?" Mother Xue stroked the old lady's shoulders and looked at the old lady's concern.

The old lady nodded, patted Mother Xue's hand on her shoulder, and said in a soft voice with relief: "I'm fine, go ahead." ”

Mother Xue left, and the old lady lowered her head in contemplation.

This is the first time that the old lady sent someone to call herself to her yard, Ran Huaying was punished and knelt in the ancestral hall, Yao's stomach was holding her breath, she looked at Mother Xue angrily, and asked impatiently: "That old thing, why did you call me over, do you know?" ”

Mother Xue lowered her head and shook her head, "The slave doesn't know." ”

Yao Shi rolled his eyes, and raised his head in a fearless manner, "Let's go, I'll go and listen, what does that old guy want to say to me." ”

The old lady knew that the Yao family hated herself, and she insisted on not letting her snatch the position of the eldest lady of the Shen family, and gave her the position of the second wife of the equal wife; It was also she who insisted on keeping the position of the eldest lady of the Ran Mansion who was in the dust, and she hated her for more than ten years for this Yao family.

When the old lady saw Yao enter the courtyard and ignored her, the old lady was not angry, and raised her hand with a humble face, "Sit down, I have something to say to you." ”

Yao's eyes rolled, completely ignoring the old lady's words, without meaning to sit down, he raised his chin and tilted his head, and spewed out a sentence from the gap in his nose, "Ying'er is still kneeling in the ancestral hall, if my mother has anything to say, say it quickly." ”

"Okay." The old lady answered Yao's and said to those subordinates: "You all go down." The subordinates didn't seem to hear the old lady's words, and they all looked at Yao.

The old lady didn't speak again, but also looked at Yao, the old man's eyes were burning, and Yao was uncomfortable, so she impatiently waved her hand to the subordinates, signaling them to retreat, and the subordinates withdrew with Yao's permission.

Yao stood in front of the old lady, condescending like a proud empress, the virtuous and virtuous lady in the eyes of outsiders on weekdays was gone, and in the face of the old lady Yao's heart, there was only dissatisfaction and disdain in her eyes.

She looked at the old lady coldly, "I don't know what happened to my mother calling her daughter-in-law over today?" This will be gone, just say it quickly, Ying'er is still being punished, you don't care about her, I can care about it. ”

The old lady pursed her lips, as if she had something unspeakable, closed her eyes and lowered her head to think for a moment before saying: "Yao, I know you are dissatisfied with me, but all these years have passed, and the Shen family is dead, you have always been the head of the Ran Mansion, managing the entire Ran Mansion, and I have never interfered in the affairs of the Ran Mansion, and the people in the Ran Mansion are all subordinate to you, isn't this enough, can't you let go?" ”

"Drop?" Yao Shi seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and laughed, she laughed wildly, laughed ridiculously, and her eyes spread with a raging fire of hatred, as if she wanted to burn the old man in front of her to ashes.

Slowly, she said without a trace of emotion: "Ran Xianchen is dead, I will let it go." Her voice had the coldness of the underworld, and her face was as treacherous as a ghostly monster.
