After staring at her grandmother to finish the ceremony, she immediately helped her grandmother up, helped her to sit on the marble stool on the side, and then said to the group of people behind her, "You all stand down, don't gather around here for what you should do, this palace wants to talk to grandmother alone." ”

"Yes, Princess."

After everyone retreated, Xiao Liangyun held his grandmother's hand, "Have you been feeling better lately?" ”

"Okay, it's all good, it's just that I'm getting older, some things will inevitably be a little powerless, the old body has been talking about you these days, if the mother is well, the old body will be fine."

"Grandmother, it's because you're not sensible, it's because you're not good enough that you've suffered so much here." Inadvertently, she accidentally rolled up the sleeves of the old lady's clothes, and saw that the old lady's body was still dirty, and even red and swollen, "This is?" ”

Seeing this, the old lady hurriedly put down her sleeves, and then sighed, "Since the last time you came back, a lot of things have happened, your sister Qingqing was married to a big business family, surnamed Wu, who was interested in making water, and now she is the wife of the main house, although she is not as good as you, but she is also at ease." Later, your father married another woman, who had a hard temper and cleaned up your second mother, maybe because the mother's family behind your second mother fell. Speaking of this, she sighed, "I don't care who my father married, how did you get hurt?" ”

Hearing this, her eyes suddenly dimmed, "Well, it was your fifth aunt who made it, and you can't blame her entirely, it's my old bones that can't move!" As she spoke, she actually coughed, Xiao Liangyu frowned, stared at her face carefully, and then took the pulse of her right hand.

"No way, it's only been so long, why has your body become so bad?" Xiao Liangyun still felt that something was wrong, the old lady was a few years younger than the Queen Mother, why did she look at the situation now, but it seemed that her body was much worse than the Queen Mother.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're fine. The old body wants to say, some time ago, I heard your father say that you and your prince intended to rebel, I was so frightened that I fainted, and when I woke up, I was always worried, chattering, let your father treat you better, let your father go and ask Your Majesty, but your father not only did not go, but also locked me in Cunshan Hall, until later I didn't know that your father's allegiance was not to His Majesty, but to the crown prince. Oh my son! You suffered. The old lady was full of tears, tearful, trembling and shaking back and forth while touching Xiao Liangyun's hand. Why are your hands so cold, is there no good doctor in the palace to treat you? Or did you have a hemorrhage that day and it wasn't cured?"

"Don't worry, grandmother, Hu'er is fine, Hu'er can take good care of herself."

"It's okay, it's okay. Come in and sit? Your second mother's illness is getting worse and worse, and now she stays in Furong Garden all year round, and your father doesn't let her out much. The family, big and small, is all your fifth aunt and help to take care of it. ”

"Fifth aunt? In terms of family status, you should also be the main family, even if you are old and in poor health, it is also about seniority. If my mother is not there, it should be Erniang to take care of it, although Erniang is a little misbehaving, but taking care of family affairs, you are not so bad for the old lady, besides, I remember that the eldest brother should get married, right? Since I am married, the position of the main family should be my eldest brother and sister-in-law, how can I talk about her fifth aunt? What is the origin of these five aunts? Xiao Liangyun's eyes were cold, and he turned to question the maid who was waiting next to the old lady, and the maid said tremblingly, "Back to the princess, yes, it is the second daughter of the Inspectorate Zuo Governor Yushi, Miss Xie, Xie Rong." ”

"Wait? Wait, wait, how old is she? ”

"Eight out of twenty."

"Since you know that she is twenty-seven years old, you still call Miss Xie? The eldest lady is sixteen or seventeen years old and has not yet come out of the cabinet, she is twenty-seven, and she has not yet married, so she married my father, and she still calls Miss? It's almost time to call the old mother, right? ”

"Poof." When the servants of the Xiao Mansion behind him heard this, they couldn't help but secretly sneer, "Yu'er! The old lady motioned for her to restrain herself a little, "Grandmother, you have a good heart, I'm not, did I say something wrong?" Isn't she just an older unmarried person who was picked on? I said that my father's brain is not good lately, and it is not good to choose a young girl, and it doesn't matter if you choose such a big one, well, it doesn't matter if you choose such a big one. He is a dignified general from the first rank, even if he is now transferred and demoted, he will actually be at the mercy of a concubine who is a fourth-rank superintendent of the imperial history? It's ridiculous. ”

"Presumptuous! Who are you? Dare to go wild on my general's mansion? At the end of the corridor, a woman wearing a bright golden robe embroidered with mountains and rivers came out, and her face didn't look very easy to get along with, and scolded Xiao Liangyun.

"Slave maid, see Fifth Aunt." The subordinate who was still laughing just now, after seeing this woman, immediately saluted in a panic, but Xiao Liangyun and Qiluo did not, this move angered this woman, and quickly stepped forward and reprimanded, "There is no one in my eyes, full of rudeness, where is the person from in my general's mansion, you two don't salute when you see me?" ”

"This palace has never seen it, Zheng Yipin needs to salute with a concubine who has no position, she is the personal head of this palace, and she is dignified from the fifth grade, why should she salute with you?" Xiao Liangyun's eyes became more and more gloomy, and with a lazy tone, he slowly replied to her words.

"What is this palace?"

"Auntie, she is, Miss Xiao, the current Seventh Princess." In the house, a maid next to her saw that Xiao Liangyun's expression was getting more and more wrong, and she was a little panicked, and secretly reminded her. "What? The princess? At this time, her expression changed greatly, Liu Mei glared at her as if she couldn't believe it, and then suddenly realized that she had just said something wrong, and immediately knelt down and said, "The concubine is to meet the princess Niangniang, it is the concubine who has just had eyes and does not know Mount Tai, please forgive the concubine for the sake of the concubine as an aunt...... Yes! ”

With a snap, a hard slap on her face, Xie Rong still couldn't believe it, and raised her head to look at Xiao Liangyu in a daze, "Father is now old and faint, his eyes are not good, he doesn't know people, this palace can't be ignorant, this palace has lost his mother since he was a child, he grew up quietly in the house, he has lived for sixteen years, and he never knew what a fifth aunt is, don't climb relatives with me, you can also ask your brother how he got the official of the third grade, don't want to work hard, don't want to be rich and prosperous, Hongu will be able to let him go now. ”

"No, no, Niangniang, you misunderstood, the concubine has never seen Niangniang come back, so I don't know, I mistakenly think that some gangster came in and wanted to hold the old lady hostage, but she was just anxious and wanted to protect and take care of the old lady."

"It's good that you say this to my father, don't talk nonsense, you said that you take care of the old lady, is it true?"

"Ah, of course it's true, of course it's true."

"Then why does she have so many injuries on her body, her eczema is not good, and her legs and feet are inconvenient?"

"Maybe it's too old, right?"

"Old? I haven't even had five months since I last went home, and you tell me that people will grow old like this in the past six months? Will the damage increase automatically? ”

"Don't say it, shut up and call your sister-in-law. Qiluo, invite the sister-in-law over, and also, close the conference hall, and no one is allowed to enter. ”

"Yes, miss."

In the conference hall, a woman was slowly brought to the center of the hall, looking gentle and gentle, and she didn't look like she could take charge of things. "Folk woman Qi Mingyu, meet Niangniang."

"Don't be restrained, since you are married to my Xiao Mansion, you are from my Xiao Mansion, so you don't have to be so polite."

"Yes, sissy." Then, she sat quietly on the other side.

"What do you do at home?"

"The people's own family is a running hall and has opened a small restaurant."

Xiao Liangyun's expression seemed to understand, her brother originally married a nameless and penniless businessman without permission, but she still admired this brother very much, with Xiao Yu's temperament, he was able to marry in the end, which is also considered his greatness.

"It's good, I'm the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, my name is Liangyun, if my sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, but you can call me a girl, a girl, it's okay." Xiao Liangyu spoke to her gently, she knew that this sister-in-law didn't look so bold, and even a little cowardly towards herself, but now that the Xiao family's changes can't let Xiao Ling end up with nothing. "The women don't dare."

Her expression was still so soft and weak, but she looked at Xiao Liangyun's eyes a little more, "Don't be afraid, my eldest brother and I are the same mother, I have been close to my eldest brother since I was a child, can you explain the matter of my absence here, 1510 and I will make it clear." ”

"Yes." Qi Mingyu nodded, and then seemed to fall into a memory, "When my husband married me, I didn't have any ten-mile red makeup, and the reason for marrying the coffin was because the general thought that Mingyu's identity was humble and unworthy of her husband, and it was difficult to get into the hall of elegance, for fear of staining the bloodline and ruining her reputation." So when my husband married me, it was held in the thatched cottage outside, and at that time, there were only two people, me and him, with heaven and earth as matchmakers, and when I married my husband, it was also the time when the general took a concubine. ”

"My brother is still so interesting?" Xiao Liangyun couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard this, Xiao Ling didn't like arranged marriages This is something she knows, but she is blatantly angry Xiao Yu, which she didn't expect.

"Yes, in fact, the old lady doesn't have a bad impression of me, and I don't have any misdeeds, but the fifth aunt felt that there was no one behind the second aunt's house, and she also suffered from soul loss, and her legs and feet were a little inconvenient, so she was not suitable to be a housewife anymore. And the old lady was old, and she didn't think it was suitable, so she asked the general for instructions and made her the housewife. Mingyu knew that his status was low, and there was no chance at all, so he thought that his aunt could take good care of the family as the position of the housewife, but Mingyu was blamed for being useless, and her husband was fighting outside, Mingyu could only watch her aunt abuse the old lady, deduct the money from Furong Garden, and give Aunt Bai the money for treating madness, all of which were gone. As she spoke, her tears flowed down her face.

"What? Doesn't my father care? ”

As soon as the general returned, the fifth aunt threatened others and the old lady, and the old lady covered her clothes and said that she was cold and could not see any injuries. As for the legs and feet, what she usually says is that the old lady is old, so the legs and feet are inconvenient, which is normal. ”

"Bastard, I can bear to deduct all the money to fill my greed, the old lady is going to die, but she is really a poisonous woman, but my father is not a good thing." In her mind, she suddenly recalled that before, He was framed overnight, and as a result, the people of the palace went to beg Xiao Mansion, and Xiao Yu actually closed the door directly, and blatantly went to help the prince and her good sister, regardless of her.

"Sister-in-law, I hope you can listen carefully to these things I am talking to you now, I see that you are not a bad person, and your status is not the root of inferiority. I believe in you, since the restaurant is so prosperous, it will not be much wrong to take care of the house, if you don't understand, the old lady in the house, the housekeeper, you can ask, I hope you can be strong, not for others, but also for my brother's child in your belly, and my brother. You are older than me, you should know those messy intrigues in the palace, and the same is true in the house, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden. If you don't get stronger, I didn't come to the mansion today, and it is possible that you, your children, and my brother will all be killed by Xie Rong, take me to Furong Garden. ”

"Okay."

Furong Garden is not what it used to be, it is only a year, but it has changed so much.

In the dim light, Wang lay on the bench quietly, his eyes seemed to be closed and open. "Yu'er, please say hello to the second aunt."

"Why are you here? Come and see my jokes?" In a daze, Wang Huiyan slowly opened her eyes and saw Xiao Liangyun's appearance clearly. "Hu'er doesn't dare, Hu'er just came to see if my aunt was doing well."

"Heh, can't you see it? Tell me, what the hell are you trying to do here? ”

"It's nothing, there are clouds since ancient times, sisterhood, and the same spirit. Sister Yu'er cares about me, not only about whether I marry well, but also about whether I have goods in my stomach, and what I do every day. As a courtesy, of course I have to come and visit you, right? ”

"What are you going to do to my daughter! I lost to your mother in the past, and my daughter has lost to you now, what else do you want!"

"It's what you want to do to you!" Xiao Liangyun's voice was even higher-pitched, "My mother and I have never thought about fighting with anyone!" Never! It's you guys who are inexplicable! Wang Huiyan, look at how pitiful you look now, look at why you can't stand up and scold me for being a slut? You are a young lady from a daughter, and you can bear to be ridden on your head by a concubine of a fourth-grade official!"

"Get up! Give me a good look at yourself!" Xiao Liang grabbed her hair violently and pressed her to the bronze mirror table next to her.

"Don't make me look in the mirror! Don't make me look in the mirror! Take! Take it!"
