The old lady of Pingguo made a gesture and picked up the jade walnut she was playing with and was about to throw it on Ruan Chuxiao's head.

An Ruyi was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug the arm of the old lady of Pingguo, and said repeatedly: "Don't be angry, old lady, maybe there is some misunderstanding inside?" The third brother has always been self-disciplined and rigorous, and Ruyi believes that the third brother will not do ridiculous things. ”

The girl's voice was soft, with a coquettish spirit, the old lady of Pingguo sighed in her heart, put down her hand, and her eyes swept over her strange-looking son, as well as her grandson with a serious face, and finally the girl who followed in.

The girl stood not far behind Ping Guogong with her head down, and the whole person was hiding in the shadows, unable to see clearly.

The old lady of Pingguo and An Ruyi couldn't help frowning.

It's just that people live to the scene of the old lady of Pingguo, people are in a high position, their children and grandchildren are filial, and the family is also smooth sailing in the court, and there are no waves, so naturally you can do whatever you want, without any scruples, laughing and scolding, all from your own heart.

The old lady of Pingguo's eyebrows could be slightly wrinkled to express her dislike, but An Ruyi didn't dare to show it, but she wrinkled slightly for a moment, and immediately erased the playful smile, turned her head to the old lady of Pingguo and continued: "Old lady, it should be that girl, right?" I don't look like I'm very old, but I can't see it clearly, and I think it's the friend of the third brother. That sister, come, don't be afraid, the old lady is very amiable. ”

Fang Hanniang sighed slightly in her heart, this playful and lovely An Ruyi girl is really good at talking, on the premise that the old lady doesn't like her, she has to shape her into a "afraid old lady", this is to make the old lady have a bad impression of her before the first meeting.

However, Fang Hanniang is still not afraid of this kind of little trick, she already has a grandmother who regards her as a thorn in the flesh, and she doesn't care about another grandmother who doesn't like her.

For so many years, she has also lived with her younger brothers and sisters with her head held high, and she will not be worried.

Fang Hanniang raised her head with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

An Ruyi was slightly shocked.

She prides herself on being the number one in the capital, and those who are more beautiful than her are just between the two of them, and she is still very confident after a little dressing. Who would have thought that when she saw this strange girl who came with Ruan Chuxiao today, An Ruyi's long-standing belief collapsed a little, and this girl was born too beautiful......

An Ruyi bit her lower lip lightly, thinking to herself, what if she looks good, looking at the clothes on her body, she should be the daughter of an ordinary family, and it is impossible to marry the third brother as a wife.

With a reluctant smile on her face, she looked at the old lady of Pingguo, ready to say a few more words.

As a result, before he could speak, he saw the old lady of Pingguo staring at Fang Hanniang's face, with an extremely disheartened look of disbelief on her face, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to have piled up to the center of her eyebrows.

Before An Ruyi could react, he saw the old lady of Pingguo and said, "You, you go forward, I'm old and I can't see clearly." ”

There was no prestige of a super-grade duchess in the words, and some were just an elderly woman's slightly trembling request.

Yes, request.

Ping Guogong felt sad for a while.

Ruan Chuxiao's heart was also uncomfortable, and shouted: "Grandmother......"

"Shut up!" The old lady didn't look at Ruan Chuxiao impatiently, and roared, so shocked that Ruan Chuxiao opened her mouth slightly in amazement, and couldn't spit out half a word. The old lady simply leaned on the handle of the chair and stood up.

Her body is actually quite strong, and her legs and feet are also very sensitive. It's just that after all, the old lady is old, and she has come to her for illness and pain. A few days ago, I just had an illness, and although my spirit is fine, my body has not yet recovered.

The old lady stood up so suddenly, not only scared An Ruyi, but also scared Ping Guogong and Ruan Chuxiao, and several people wanted to go up to help, but the old lady waved her hand eagerly, and she took a step forward.

No matter how hard-hearted Fang Hanniang was, her eyes were a little hot when she saw this scene, she hurriedly took a few steps forward and said softly: "Old lady, Hanniang is here." ”

The old lady of Pingguo grabbed Fang Hanniang's hand, her eyes looked at Fang Hanniang's face eagerly, as if she wanted to find something from Fang Hanniang's face, the back of her flabby hand collapsed a little tightly, and the blood vessels were clearly visible.

Fang Hanniang ignored the pain of being grabbed fiercely, supported the old lady of Pingguo, and said softly: "Old lady, let me help you sit down." ”

The old lady of Pingguo didn't speak, let Fang Hanniang help her back into the chair, only stared at Fang Hanniang's face, and only opened her mouth with a trembling cry for a while: "My Qingqing, ......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, tears flowed across his eyes.

The old lady of Pingguo and the deceased old Pingguo have been in love all their lives, and they have four sisters-in-law under their knees, and none of them have a concubine. This is the couple's only regret is that they don't have a daughter. Later, when the old lady of Pingguo was nearly forty years old, she became pregnant again. Because the old lady was too old and the risk of childbirth was extremely high, the imperial doctor persuaded the old lady to kill the child, but when the old lady heard that the one in her belly might be a daughter, she fought hard to save the child.

But after all, it was too old, the child was born prematurely at the age of seven months, and the old lady of Pingguo Gong had snow ginseng slices in her mouth, and she gave birth to the child for a day and a night.

It's just that when the child was just born, he was bruised all over his body, and he couldn't cry, and the midwives from the palace shook their heads and said that the child was out of breath, so that Ping Guogong prepared a small coffin to bury the child.

At that time, the rule was that children who died early could not enter the ancestral grave, but could only become lonely ghosts forever.

Where was the old lady of Pingguo willing to suffer such a tragic thing for the daughter she gave birth to, she was not allowed to take the child away by the midwife, and cried for half an hour while holding the child, and the child suddenly let out an extremely weak cry.

The old lady of Pingguo was ecstatic, and heard that it was easy to feed by a cheap name, so the old lady of Pingguo named the girl Qingqing, hoping that she would have tenacious vitality like a weed and be lush forever.

Ruan Qingqing was very weak when she was a child, and the fortune teller Taoist priest said that she should be kept in the deep boudoir and not let out to meet people in order to stay healthy forever. Therefore, the Pingguo Mansion carefully raised this little daughter, and did not dare to let her go out to socialize, nor did he dare to let her go out to meet people.

In this way, although there were constant small injuries and pains, Ruan Qingqing still lived to the age of fourteen, and she was born with a beautiful appearance, especially a pair of eyebrows and eyes, which were extraordinary.

The one who came outside to propose his relatives almost broke through the threshold of the Pingguo Mansion.

If it weren't for the back, there was a lantern festival one year, the lanterns outside were really beautiful, Lao Pingguo couldn't stand his daughter's bitter pleading, and allowed her to follow the family out to see the lanterns, and she wouldn't let her, who was naïve and ignorant of the world, be poisoned by a kidnapper......

At that time, the news of Ruan Qingqing's disappearance was transmitted back to the mansion, and Lao Ping Guogong vomited out of his heart, if it wasn't for the belief in finding his daughter to support him, maybe Lao Ping Guogong would be bedridden at that time.

Until he died, Lao Ping Guogong couldn't forgive himself.

Those dark years are memories that the people in the Pingguo Mansion do not want to recall for a lifetime.

……

At present, the old lady of Pingguo actually saw the girl who was born like a god with her daughter who had already "jumped into the river and died", where could she still control it, and all her feelings were hooked, and the boss was old, and he shed tears in front of outsiders in complete disregard, which shows a love for his daughter.

Pingguo Gong Rong Ma half his life, seeing the old lady crying so sadly, the iron-beaten man couldn't help crying, turned his head and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Ruan Chuxiao's voice was also a little choked, and she persuaded: "Grandmother, don't be sad, this is a happy event......

Fang Hanniang also had a little tears in her eyes, I don't know if it was the original owner's emotions that affected her, or if she remembered the grandmother who raised her as an adult, she shed tears, and her voice was trilling: "Old lady, my mother has been dead for many years, don't worry too much." ”

When the old lady of Pingguo heard this, she verified the conjecture in her heart, the girl in front of her was Qingqing's daughter.

The pain of losing a daughter is heart-wrenching, the old lady of Pingguo suffered it more than ten years ago, and now this is equivalent to another encounter, this time she didn't resist, and she fainted from crying.

There was chaos in the Fuyuan Hall, chickens and dogs jumping, and maids of all sizes running around the hall, some going to call the doctor in the house, and some going to get the medicine used by the old lady on weekdays.

An Ruyi was squeezed aside by a few capable maids, and she was very anxious on the side.

Even if the old lady of Pingguo fainted, her hand tightly grasped Fang Hanniang's arm, and she didn't let go for half a minute, Fang Hanniang couldn't, so she had to follow the old lady who was picked up by Pingguo Gong like a pendant to the inner room.

Ruan Chuxiao, who was also squeezed aside, picked up the corner of her robe and wanted to follow, An Ruyi pulled Ruan Chuxiao with an anxious face, and said eagerly: "Third brother, can I help with anything?" ”

Ruan Chuxiao wanted to introduce Fang Hanniang to the old lady peacefully, but who knew that An Ruyi led the topic to Fang Hanniang, so she was caught off guard and let the old lady see Fang Hanniang, although An Ruyi couldn't be blamed, but Ruan Chuxiao became more and more indifferent to An Ruyi, he nodded to An Ruyi, and said, "Thank you Miss An for your kindness." But now that my grandmother has a sudden illness and the family is in chaos, I really can't entertain Miss An, so I ask Miss An for forgiveness. ”

Directly placed an eviction order!

An Ruyi bit her lower lip, she also knew that there was such a thing now, and she wouldn't look like she would stay here any longer.

“…… Third brother, I know I'll be disgusted if I say this, but I don't want you to be deceived. An Ruyi hesitated, but still said, "There are a lot of imaginary people in the world, and the third brother must be careful about this kind of blood relationship." After all, the Pingguo Mansion has a big business, and there are many people with ill intentions......"
