Chapter 100: The Dowry Turmoil
Wei Yanran stepped forward with a little apprehension, although Qin Yenan said that the old lady was a good person, didn't she see that the Liu family and Qin Wenxue wanted to shrink their heads into the ground? If they are really as amiable as they appear on the surface, why are these two people afraid of being like this?
Biting her lower lip slightly, Wei Yanran came to their side and bowed to the old lady, "Yanran has seen the old lady." ”
Qin Yenan raised his chin triumphantly, quite a bit of a show-off, "How about grandmother, my lady is good, right?" ”
Feeling a scrutinizing gaze on herself, Wei Yanran's body was slightly stunned, and then a wrinkled but not old hand gently helped her up, "Mo Yan is nervous, call my grandmother." ”
With a faint scent of sandalwood on her body, Wei Yanran quickly raised her head, glanced at the old lady in surprise, pursed her lips, and then called generously, "I've seen grandmother." ”
Qin Wenxue in the back bit her lower lip tightly, staring at Wei Yanran's back with jealousy, why did she get the old lady's love so easily? She is the granddaughter of the old lady, so it can be seen that she still has to call the old lady in a proper manner.
Such unfair treatment made her eyes red instantly, Liu quietly stretched out her hand and patted her hand, signaling her to come forward to ask for peace, as for herself, anyway, she couldn't look down on the old lady, so she simply didn't go to join in the fun.
Enduring the indignation in her heart, Qin Wenxue hesitated for a while, and finally came to the old lady's side at the urging of the Liu family, but-
"I'm tired, let's go in first." She seemed to like Wei Yanran very much, took her hand, didn't look at Qin Wenxue, who came to her, and in the slightly embarrassed gaze of the Duke of Yasukuni, she led a group of subordinates into the mansion.
Qin Wenxue really couldn't help it now, although the old lady didn't give her face in the past, but in front of her own family, now there is a Wei Yanran, how can she hold her head up in the future?
Tears couldn't help but roll in her eyes, and the Duke of Yasukuni sighed and patted her, "Your grandmother is just not used to it for a while. Okay, let's go in, don't upset Grandmother. ”
There is no way for the old lady to dislike Liu and Qin Wenxue, after all, the aspect is ......
Yasukuni sighed heavily, and walked into the mansion with his hands in his hands. Liu squeezed Qin Wenxue's little hand distressedly, and after comforting her a few words, the mother and daughter walked in with a disparate face.
Because the old lady of the Guogong Mansion is back, and there is one more young lady this year, no matter how reluctant the Liu family is, they have to prepare a family banquet, and they must prepare well, and they can't let the old lady find fault.
Wei Yanran was happy, since she married into the Guogong Mansion, the Liu family didn't mention letting her take care of the house, so she and Qin Yenan stepped on the old lady's courtyard, and after a while, the three of them were also late.
"Okay, sit down, it's a family feast today, don't be restrained." The old lady ignored Liu's ugly face, put Wei Yanran next to her and sat down, and Qin Yenan came over with a hippie smile, causing the old lady to stare angrily.
There is no rule of eating and not saying a word at the family banquet, Qin Yenan, who listened to the whole dinner table, gags from time to time, and Wei Yanran will also say a few words appropriately to liven up the atmosphere.
However, just after everyone put down the chopsticks, the old lady suddenly took a key from the grandmother behind her, looked at Wei Yanran lovingly, and handed her the key to her in front of everyone:
"Ye Nan's mother left early, her dowry has been kept by me for so many years, and now that he has become a relative, his mother's dowry will be handed over to you for safekeeping."
Wei Yanran's eyes widened without mistake, she never expected that the day when the old lady came back, she would drop such a shocking thunder, "Grandmother, I ......" She just wanted to say no, but was interrupted by the old lady.
"I'm old, and I don't have the strength to take care of these things, not to mention that the entire Yasukuni Mansion will be in charge of you in the future, so you should adapt to it in advance." The old lady's words didn't save any face for the Liu family at all, the corners of Wei Yanran's mouth twitched suspiciously, looking at the Liu family's forbearance appearance, she really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After worrying about this huge Guogong Mansion for half his life, but in the end he couldn't get anything, and the Liu family must have been dizzy at this time.
Sure enough, Liu, who had been acting as a background board, quietly pulled the sleeve of Duke Jingguo, cheered up and said with a smile: "Old lady, grandpa Guo, Yan Ran is still young after all, and she can't take care of the house, since the old lady is tired, why don't you leave it to me to take care of it temporarily?" ”
Qin Yenan's mother is a young lady of a big family, and her marriage Liu has been greedy for a long time, but she has no chance, and there is an old lady who blocks it, since she is relieved this time, she wants to seize this opportunity.
But how could Wei Yanran let her take advantage of it, not to mention that this may be a temptation of the old lady, just for Qin Yenan, she can't let the dowry fall into the Liu family's pocket.
Looking at the covetous gaze in Liu's eyes, Wei Yanran smiled coldly, pretending to be well-behaved and lowered her head, but her words were not polite at all, "Mrs. Hui, Yanran learned to be a housekeeper when she was in the boudoir. If the grandmother trusts her granddaughter-in-law, the granddaughter-in-law should do her best. ”
One is the old lady who loves Qin Yenan, and the other is the stepmother who wants Qin Yenan to die, this choice is very easy to make, isn't it?
Seeing that the Liu family still had to argue, the old lady frowned impatiently, "Okay, don't talk about it, I'm not dead yet, I can't do this little thing?" ”
Liu's face was ugly, but the Duke of Yasukuni was still adding fuel to the fire, "Mother, what are you talking about, as long as you want, you can do anything." ”
The old lady softened her face slightly, and when she saw Wei Yanran's somewhat apprehensive look, she paused, and gave Liu another heavy blow, "I heard that Yanran hasn't learned to be a housekeeper yet, so it's just a matter of following Mama Gui to check the family's accounts, which can be regarded as an experience." ”
At this time, the Liu family couldn't sit still at all, and hurriedly spoke at the risk of being blamed by the old lady, "Mother, this is not appropriate." ”
The old lady raised her eyelids, and a trace of ridicule was clearly visible on her face, "What? What is your opinion? Whether you can't believe Mama Gui and Yanran, or are you afraid that I have wronged you. ”
Gritting his back molars, Liu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Qin Wenxue, "Old lady, my mother has been worrying about the house for so many years, and you doubted your mother as soon as you came, is it too chilling?" ”
She thought she was right, raised her chin slightly, and made a fearless appearance.
