The gazebo is still smiling.

There are a lot of guests who come today, some of them are of high status, and some of them are of low status. Whether it is the seat in the flower hall before, or the small talk in the pavilion at the moment, or the garden on the other side, people only accompany people who are equal to their status.

On such an occasion, Mrs. Ning is naturally the kind of person who is rarely dealt with. However, Mrs. Shen, who is usually high-spirited, didn't talk to others much.

Ever since she saw Zhao Xiang'e fall out of her sleeve that jade pendant, Mrs. Shen noticed that something was wrong, and then saw the strange behavior of Old Lady Gu and Second Grandma Gu, Mrs. Shen knew that something was wrong. She wanted to go to Zhao Xiang'e to ask what was going on, but Zhao Xiang'e had been surrounded by several women, and she was chased to ask questions about clothing and makeup, so that Mrs. Shen couldn't find a chance.

Mrs. Shen was sitting on pins and needles, uncomfortable, and irritable. When others saw her strange complexion, they naturally thought she was unwell, so they didn't bother her.

At this moment, a maid from the Gu Mansion hurriedly walked towards the pavilion, Ning Ningqing was bright-eyed and bright-hearted, and stood up immediately, Zi'er beside him put down the melon and fruit in his hand, raised his little face and asked puzzledly: "Where is my sister going?" ”

When Mrs. Ning, who was chatting with a businesswoman, heard this, she also turned her face to look at Ning Ningqing, who explained with a smile: "Mrs. Shen's face is not very good, it may be uncomfortable, it is hot today, she may be suffering from heat stroke." There are so many guests now, and the maids in the Gu Mansion can't take care of it for a while, so I'll go over and take a look. ”

The businesswoman who didn't know the inside story immediately smiled and said, "This girl is really careful enough, Mrs. Shen is really blessed to have such a good daughter-in-law!" ”

Mrs. Ning first said a few polite words, and couldn't help but look at Mrs. Shen's side, remembering Mrs. Shen's arrogant appearance of ignoring her love when she was in the flower hall just now, and then thinking of the Shen family's regret and resignation, Mrs. Ning couldn't help but feel angry. However, now is not the time to settle accounts, it is better to let Qing'er care in the past, but it seems that Qing'er is polite and sensible, so Mrs. Ning said: "Mrs. Shen's face is really not very good, you go over and take a look." ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled and nodded, and then walked towards Mrs. Shen.

"What's wrong with Mrs. Shen? Isn't it too hot today, heat stroke? A gentle and warm voice reached Mrs. Shen's ears.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen was already like a frightened bird, and when she heard this voice, she couldn't help but be startled, and almost didn't throw away the fan in her hand. As soon as I looked up, I saw the face I didn't want to see the most, it was Ningxia Qing who was smiling and smiling.

"You ......" Mrs. Shen's face suddenly showed a look of extreme disgust, and she was about to scold her to get out of the way without thinking about it, but the noble lady next to her suddenly said: "This Miss Ning is really filial, she hasn't passed the door yet, so she cares about you like this, Mrs. Shen, you are blessed!" ”

Several other ladies were also on the side to help. They all heard it just now, this Ning girl is the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, although it is said that with Miss Ning's identity as a businesswoman, the Shen family is a little low, but at this moment, seeing this Ning girl is so polite, the contempt in her heart is a little lighter.

Hearing those ladies praise herself, Ning Xia Qing smiled faintly, lowered her head and said a few words of modesty.

This made Mrs. Shen not speak out, nor did she make a sound. She was so angry that her eyes turned black, and she glared at Ning Ningqing angrily, but she didn't dare to let others see her hatred. But Ning Xia Qing was still smiling respectfully, as if she didn't notice Mrs. Shen's disgust at all.

Those noble ladies saw that Ning Xia Qing was not only filial, but also generous in every word and deed, and did not have the childish spirit of a merchant girl, so they flattered one after another: "Miss Ning is so polite, Mrs. Shen is really good at picking a daughter-in-law." ”

Mrs. Shen was even more annoyed, and she had fire in her heart but nowhere to spread it.

The maid of the Gu Mansion had already walked over and whispered, "Mrs. Shen, Second Grandma invites you over." ”

Ning Ningqing saw that Mrs. Shen's eyes flickered a little, and her lips trembled a little, but she still forced a smile and apologized to the women on both sides: "I am indeed a little unwell, go to the second grandmother's side to rest first." After speaking, he glanced at Ning Xia Qing and said, "Old Mrs. Ning is old, you should take care of Old Mrs. Ning." ”

Ning Xia Qing answered "yes", watched Mrs. Shen out of the pavilion, smiled at the lady next to her politely, and then returned to Mrs. Ning's side.

Her play has been sung, and then let the Shen family and the Gu family worry about themselves.

Looking at this, Mrs. Shen will definitely call someone to Ning's house again tomorrow at the latest. However, this time was different from the previous one. Now, the Gu family has also been dragged into this troubled water, and Mrs. Shen is already anxious. This arrogant Mrs. Shen has no confidence, and she can no longer show off her power in front of the Cao family as before.

However, she knew that Mrs. Shen would never give up, so she must not take it lightly. In addition, the reason why Gu Er's grandmother acquiesced to Gu Yimeng and Shen Zhiyuan's matter was of course not to fulfill Gu Yimeng's dream, but because she took a fancy to the future of the Shen family's father and son, and wanted to use this to form a good family, so Gu Er's grandmother would never give up her in-laws with the Shen family easily. In other words, she still has a lot of difficulties to face.

Ning Xia Qing lowered his head and looked at the teacup in his hand. The tea used by Gu Mansion to feast guests today is the best Biluochun, and the emerald halo lingers in the cup, dyeing her eyes reflected in the teacup with a layer of rippling blue, and her eyes look like a broken resoluteness. She took a sip, put down the cup and said, "Grandma, the sun is high, Zi'er should be tired, let's take our leave." ”

Old Lady Ning nodded in agreement, and then got up and prepared to leave. Ning Xia Qing got up, and at this moment, he happened to meet the gaze of the man in the pavilion.

Who is that man? is not only a relative of the Gu family, but also so close to Gu Huailang, why has she never seen it? In her previous life, she was not a stranger to the Gu family, and even often went in and out of this garden, but she had never heard of or seen this person, what was going on? Or was there something she had overlooked in the previous decade?

Gu Xuesong was walking under the rose trellis, and as soon as he looked up, Ning Xia Qing happened to look at him, and the eyes of the two inadvertently collided.

And the sticky Gu Huailang chased after him, and the two walked towards the pavilion, and the Ning family also happened to walk out of the pavilion under the guidance of the maid. Walking up to Old Lady Ning, Gu Xuesong bowed politely, but Gu Huailang immediately said hurriedly: "Hey, are Grandma Ning and Sister Ning going back with their little sister?" There's dinner in the evening, so stay a little longer. ”

The maid who led the way said, "Mrs. Ning is tired, so she has to go back to rest." Brother Lang, the third grandmother is looking for you everywhere, go over quickly, don't let the third grandmother worry. ”

Gu Huailang responded in extreme disappointment, but his eyes were always staring at Zi'er, who had already hid behind Ning Xia Qing, and said, "That's ...... Grandma Ning and Sister Ning must often bring their little sister over to play in the future, you must come! ”

Zi'er was angry with Gu Huailang in her heart, but she was very afraid of him, so she hid behind her sister, only revealing her little head, and quietly glared at Gu Huailang while Gu Huailang was talking to her grandmother and sister. Unexpectedly, Gu Huailang had actually been looking at her, and seeing her glaring at herself, Gu Huailang instantly showed a somewhat lost expression.

Zi'er secretly glared at Gu Huailang, but she didn't forget to look at Gu Xuesong guiltily, and her little fat fingers kept stirring. Although she is young, she understands everything, she knows that it was she who caused trouble and broke other people's treasures, and this person not only blamed her, but also covered up the past for her.

Mrs. Ning said a few polite words to Gu Xuesong, and then left with her two granddaughters. Gu Xuesong and Gu Huailang looked at the figures of the Ning family in the distance.

Gu Huailang raised his head and asked, "Sixth Uncle finally came back once, won't he stay at my house for a few days?" ”

"Forget it, I'll live outside, feel more comfortable." Gu Xuesong replied, then looked at the pavilion, but didn't see Mrs. Gu, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Where did Auntie go?" ”

Hearing Gu Xuesong say this, Gu Huailang found that Mrs. Gu was gone, so he called a maid, and when he asked, he found out that Mrs. Gu was unwell and had just gone back to rest.

Gu Huailang took the opportunity to persuade again: "Since grandma is not feeling well, the sixth uncle will stay here for one night first." Grandma's health is not good, and Uncle Sixth can't rest assured, right? ”

Gu Xuesong smiled and didn't answer, but said, "I'll go see my aunt, you go to your mother's side quickly, so as not to make the third sister-in-law anxious." ”

Gu Huailang looked at the pavilion and saw that his mother was really looking for him, so he hurriedly said, "Sixth uncle, then I'll look for you again." With that, he ran to the gazebo.

Gu Xuesong went to Old Lady Gu's room alone.

"Mrs. Shen, even if the daughter of our Gu family can't marry for the rest of her life, she can't help but be played by others like this!" Before Mrs. Shen could finish explaining, Mrs. Gu couldn't listen anymore and interrupted Mrs. Shen unhappily.

Because Mrs. Shen was coming, Mrs. Gu had already asked the second grandmother and Gu Yimeng to stand up, but both of them lowered their heads and looked depressed, and Gu Yimeng even kept staggering, as if she would faint at any time. Mrs. Shen was interrupted by Old Lady Gu and was a little embarrassed, so she had to look at the second grandmother for help. Although the second grandmother was annoyed by Shen Zhiyuan's carelessness about the loss of the jade pendant, this was not the time to settle accounts with the Shen family, so the second grandmother had to smile and help: "The old lady doesn't need to be so angry, anyway, the family affairs of the Shen family and the Ning family will soon be gone." ”

Mrs. Shen hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, just these two days, we will immediately ask the Ning family to return the marriage certificate, and at that time, we will have nothing to do with the Ning family, and we will definitely come to the door to ...... the fourth girl immediately."

"Mrs. Shen." Old Lady Gu interrupted in a deep voice, her face was as cold as ice: "Whether the Shen family quits or not, it has nothing to do with the Gu family." I only ask Mrs. Shen for two things, first, return the Gu family's jade pendant, and second, don't talk nonsense outside. Once this matter spreads, my Gu family will not give up with you! After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she got up and walked to the inner room, and the meaning of sending off guests was extremely obvious.

The second grandmother was so anxious that she was like something, but she didn't dare to pull the old lady Gu, so she had to say to Mrs. Shen angrily: "Okay, you can go back first." ”

How could Mrs. Shen be a person who could give up? As everyone knows, Mrs. Shen has to fight for a few points whether she is reasonable or not, as long as her temper comes up, no matter who asks her to give in, she will not die. Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows and muttered in a low voice.

Although the voice was small, Gu Er's grandmother and Gu Yimeng heard it. Second Grandma Gu was stunned for a moment, her face instantly turned pale, and she angrily stretched out her hand to point at Mrs. Shen, and said, "Unexpectedly...... Unexpectedly". And Gu Yimeng muttered directly, and fainted immediately.

The old lady Gu in the back room heard that something was wrong, and immediately turned around and walked out. Outside the door, Gu Xuesong walked to the door, but just when he heard the word "unexpectedly" from Gu Er's grandmother, he frowned slightly and immediately stopped.
