Lan Ying ran back to Cao's courtyard, leaned over to Ai Lu's face, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on inside?" ”

Ai Lu said coldly: "What else? That Mrs. Shen has no one in her eyes, no tutor, she just said some unpleasant things, which are similar to what you heard before. ”

Lan Ying looked worried, leaned over to listen, and heard Mrs. Shen's voice coming from inside: "Sister-in-law of the Ning family, why are you so angry?" The Shen family didn't want to rob the young girl as a concubine, they just wanted to discuss it with the Ning family in a friendly manner, if the Ning family didn't want to, why bother blowing their noses and glaring at the Shen family? ”

Lan Ying continued to listen, but she didn't hear Cao's words, she could only hear Cao's gasping sound, as if she was so angry that she couldn't breathe.

Mrs. Shen's voice was still extremely arrogant: "Isn't this your Ning family's fault. The Ning family is just a small business, and our Shen family master is a dignified six-grade official, do you think the Shen family's door is so easy to enter? I was thinking of the friendship between our two families for many years, and I didn't want to be separated from your family, so I proposed to let the young girl be a concubine for Zhiyuan. ”

Suddenly, there was Cao's intermittent angry voice while panting: "Mrs. Shen, you get out of the Ning family for me!" I...... I'm not dead yet, and it's not your turn to abuse my daughter! Don't blame me for daring to say such humiliating things about my daughter again...... I'm fighting with you! ”

Mrs. Shen sneered, and her tone was extremely harsh: "If you don't want to forget it, why do you react so much like a mouse that has been stepped on by its tail?" The Ning family is unwilling to quit their relatives and unwilling to be a concubine, so do they have to let the young girl be the wife of the Shen family? I'm also a little greedy, but it's really a shameless thing for a family! ”

Lan Ying's face was so anxious that she couldn't listen anymore, and wanted to go in to persuade her, but at this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Mrs. Shen walked out proudly, Lan Ying almost collided with Mrs. Shen!

Lan Ying was startled, and quickly shrank aside to stand up, Mrs. Shen glanced over contemptuously, and said with a sneer: "The things of the small family have no rules even for the maids who have been trained!" With that, he walked away without looking back.

Lan Ying and Ai Lu hurriedly walked into the inner room, and saw that there were broken cups on the ground, and the Cao family had fainted on the ground!

Lan Ying and Ai Lu hurriedly helped Cao Shi to the couch, but fortunately, Cao Shi probably fainted only when he was in a hurry, and soon woke up, Lan Ying accompanied Cao Shi while crying, and Ai Lu went to clean up the mess on the ground.

Cao said: "Lan Ying, help me up." ”

"Mrs. ......" Lan Ying cried while obediently helping Cao up.

Cao Shi walked out with a white face and trembling.

Lan Ying was stunned: "Madam, where are you going?" ”

Cao Shi didn't speak, and at this moment, Ning Xia Qing arrived.

"Mother......" As soon as Ning Xia Qing saw this scene, she knew that Mrs. Shen was probably gone, and when she saw Cao's face as white as paper, walking swayingly, like a crumbling paper kite, Ning Ningqing was speechless for a while.

Cao Shi pulled out a smile that he tried his best and said, "Qing'er, listen to my mother, you go back and rest first, my mother is going to talk to the old lady." After saying that, he stubbornly walked towards the old lady's courtyard.

"Mother......" Ning Xia Qing screamed softly, and followed behind the Cao family step by step, seeing such a stubborn Cao family for the first time in his life, Ning Xia Qing didn't dare to go up to help.

Lan Ying, Ai Lu, and Cuiyu all followed behind Ning Ningqing, and no one dared to go up to help the trembling Cao family.

Cao stumbled into the old lady's room, startling the old lady. The old lady, Mrs. Chen and Shuangxi were playing with Zi'er, and when the old lady saw Cao's appearance, she was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Mrs. Chen, you take the second girl and Shuangxi to play outside." ”

Mrs. Chen nodded, holding Zi'er in one hand and Shuangxi in the other, and walked out with the two dolls.

Although Zi'er is young, she also knows how to read people's faces, and when she saw Cao's appearance, she was immediately very frightened, and was held by Mrs. Chen's little hand and walked out, but she turned around three times in one step, and her little eyes glanced timidly at Cao's side.

As soon as Mrs. Chen and the others left, Cao knelt down with a "plop", and her already crying face couldn't hold back, and she cried out all of a sudden.

The old lady sighed and said gently, "What's the matter?" I heard that Mrs. Shen is here, what, is Mrs. Shen angry with you? ”

"The old lady, the daughter-in-law is useless, and she can't give birth to a son, and she didn't give birth to Qing'er until she was almost thirty. Qing'er is the meat of my heart, whoever wants to be trampled on, I will fight with whom! It can't go on like this, if it goes on like this, the Shen family doesn't know what other ridiculous things will happen! I just want Qing'er to stay by my side for the rest of my life, and I will support her for the rest of my life! ”

Seeing this, the old lady already knew the final outcome of this marriage, and said in a low voice of relief: "What is the one who raises Qing'er for a lifetime, this kind of thing can't be said nonsense." ”

"Old lady, I mean the truth! From now on, even if the Shen family doesn't want to quit, I must quit! Even if because of this incident, no one will come to the door to ask for marriage, and Qing'er will not be able to marry for the rest of her life, I will admit it! I'll raise her for the rest of my life! Old lady, this family must be retired, I am Qing'er's mother, I can make a decision on this matter! ”

The old lady got up, helped Cao up with her own hands, let Cao sit down, and said, "You are not in good health, how can you kneel on the ground?" Sit down and talk to me, what did Mrs. Shen say? ”

Cao whimpered and told the old lady everything that had just happened.

Outside the door, Ningxia Qing wept silently.

She came here with the Cao family before, and before she entered the house, she met Chen Po who came out with Zi'er and Shuangxi. She wanted to enter the house, but was kindly stopped by Chen Po, Chen Po said: "Big girl, I think it's better for you not to go in first." ”

Ning Xia Qing said: "Mrs. is talking to the old lady about me, since it is related to me, I want to hear it." ”

Chen Po's face was a little embarrassed, she thought for a while, nodded helplessly, and wanted to leave with Zi'er and Shuangxi, but Zi'er stuck to Ningxia Qing and didn't want to leave, and Shuangxi stuck to Zi'er.

Chen Po had no choice but to leave a sentence, "The eldest girl can listen to it if she wants to, but please don't let the old lady and the lady notice", and then let Shuangxi retreat outside the courtyard, and then sent away the three maids who followed Ning Ningqing, leaving only Ningxia Qing and Zi'er sisters standing in the courtyard.

Ning Ningqing stood in place, listening to Cao's tearful voice, his heart ached.

"Sister, don't cry......" The cowardly children's voice sounded from below, and she pulled Ning Ningqing's sleeve by the way.

Ning Xia Qing lowered her head, and saw that Zi'er was already crying.

Ningxia Qing squatted down, took out a handkerchief and wiped Zi'er's face, Zi'er stretched out her chubby little hand and wiped it desperately on Ning Ningqing's face, trying to wipe away Ningxia Qing's tears that were still pouring out.

Listening to the movement inside, the Cao family may be coming out, Ning Xia Qing hurriedly took Zi'er out of the courtyard, and saw Shuangxi who was waiting outside the courtyard gate, but saw that Shuangxi was also full of tears.

Ningxia Qing was stunned and asked Shuangxi: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Shuangxi looked at Ningxia Qing and Zi'er, and Ningxia Qing and Zi'er were holding hands with each other lovingly, Shuangxi's eyes instantly showed a look of great envy, but he forcibly covered up that look, and whispered: "I...... I'm hungry......"

Ning Xia Qing laughed dumbly, Zi'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly whispered: "Sister...... I'm hungry too......"

Ning Xia Qing smiled softly, thought for a while, and said: "Sister is not greedy, there has never been a snack in her room, why don't I take you to the kitchen, I remember that the cook made mung bean cake today." ”

Zi'er suddenly burst into tears and laughed, and said to Shuangxi: "You like mung bean cake the most, let's go eat it." ”

Double Happiness blushed and nodded.

Ningxia Qing led Zi'er with one hand and Double Happiness with the other hand and came to the kitchen. Mrs. Chen has been helping to make dinner in the kitchen since she came out of the old lady's house, and when she saw the three of them coming, she asked in surprise, "Why did you come here together?" ”

Ning Xia Qing replied: "The two of them are hungry. Po Chen, find them a few pieces of snacks. ”

Chen Po took out the mung bean cake and said, "Each person can only eat two pieces, and you can't eat more, because if you eat too much, you won't be able to eat dinner." ”

Shuangxi picked the two largest pieces, gave them to Zi'er, and took two more pieces himself, the tears in the corners of the eyes of the two children did not dry, but as soon as they ate the snack, they instantly forgot what had just happened, and laughed happily.

Ning Ningqing handed over the two children to Po Chen, and said with a smile: "I'll go back first, Po Chen will take care of them." After saying this, as soon as she turned around, the smile just now disappeared instantly, and the tears could no longer be held back, flowing down quietly.

She is a person who has died once, she is not afraid of being humiliated, she is not afraid of being spurned, but she is afraid that the Cao family will be sad for her. Mrs. Shen just abused her, why did she speak so badly in front of the Cao family! made Cao's angry like this!

She was full of grief and indignation! But Zi'er and Shuangxi were right behind her, and she couldn't cry freely.

As she walked out, she cried extremely quietly, her shoulders not swaying or snotting. It's just that a few steps away, Zi'er and Shuangxi still didn't find out that Ning Xia Qing was actually crying.

At this moment, Ah Zheng suddenly carried firewood and walked from outside, Ning Xia Qing and Ah Zheng looked at each other, and Ah Zheng was stunned.

Ningxia Qing looked at Ah Zheng with teary eyes, Ah Zheng looked at her in shock, and then looked at Zi'er and Shuangxi behind her, immediately lowered his head, pretended not to see anything, and sent the firewood into the kitchen without saying a word.

Ning Xia Qing walked out casually, and just after walking a short distance, Ah Zheng chased after him from behind.

"What's going on?" Ah Zheng frowned, and his tone was rare panicked, as if he was shocked in his heart.
