"That's right. How did I forget this stubble? ”

At dinner, the Yuan family wanted to ask, but Su Haoran drove her away, so she didn't even know if the other party was marrying a wife, and what else did she mention.

"It's okay, I'll ask tomorrow."

It seems that today's trip to Qingyun Temple was not in vain, so they worshiped the Buddha and burned incense, and God sent them a son-in-law candidate.

Yuan's heart was excited, and Su Wanqing was secretly happy.

At that time, the Yuan family finished washing, and Su Haoran had not come back yet. Yuanshi asked Mama Yang to take a look.

Mama Yang went for a while before coming back: "Madam, the master and the eldest lady are talking in the study. ”

Yuan Shi frowned: "It's so late, what do you have to say for so long?" ”

Mama Yang walked to Yuan's side and whispered back: "I heard that the eldest lady and the master entered the study after dinner, and the slave maid planned to go up to investigate, but the pomegranate girl was guarding the door and didn't let her move forward. ”

"You go and explore again, I don't know what the purpose of that girl's coming back now is." Don't come back and ask for money from the master.

"Yes." Mama Yang had to order her to leave quickly.

On the roof of the Yuan clan, a black shadow also disappeared......

Front yard study.

Su Muling carefully explained the matter of the damned mother of the Yuan family that he knew in his previous life to Su Haoranzai.

“…… The death of the mother was planned by the Yuan family. Daddy, this is a wolf by his side! ”

Su Muling's words exploded in Su Haoran's ears like a thunderbolt from a sunny day.

"What you said is true?" Su Haoran's words were trembling, and his eyes were shining with tears as he looked at Su Muling.

Su Muling nodded: "I know that if I tell my father so rashly, my father must be suspicious for a while." Tomorrow, I will take my father to meet the two of them, and my father will know that what Ling'er said is true. ”

Liu's death back then was indeed very puzzling. When Su Haoran returned from Donggu Island, the Liu family had already been buried, and he never suspected that the Liu family was killed.

Su Haoran stared at Su Muling and gritted his teeth and said, "If you really hurt your mother, I will kill her with my own hands." ”

"Daddy, killing her is cheaper for her. The daughter asked her father to keep quiet and let her daughter avenge her mother. After Su Muling finished speaking, he got up and knelt down at Su Haoran, and when he looked up again, tears glistened with tears.

Su Haoran hurriedly helped him up: "Ling'er, get up quickly, Daddy promised you." ”

Su Muling got up and threw herself into Su Haoran's arms.

……

That night, Su Haoran did not go back to the house and stayed in the study. The light in the study was on until dawn.

At breakfast the next day, neither Su Muling nor Xiao Wenxuan appeared.

Yuan asked puzzledly, "Why didn't the eldest lady and cousin come?" ”

"They eat in their own rooms." Su Haoran didn't raise his head.

"Oh!"

The Yuan family was disappointed, and originally wanted to take the opportunity of the meal to ask the young master if he was married.

Su Wanqing didn't see Xiao Wenxuan and drooped her head, and only drank a few sips of porridge and left.

After the meal, Su Haoran went back to the house and changed into clothes for going out.

Yuan thought he was going to the shop. Flatteringly, he asked, "What do you want to eat at noon?" I'm going to get the kitchen ready. ”

"Ling'er and I went to Liu's house, and we won't come back to eat at noon." After Su Haoran finished speaking, he went to the study again.

Yuan was stunned on the spot. Although the Liu family is not her mother's family, it is also related to her, and Su Haoran brought her to the Liu family as a guest in the past. Now that the eldest lady is back, Su Haoran not only didn't give him a good look, but he didn't even call her when he went to Liu's house, and the Yuan family was angry in his heart.

Su Muling had breakfast in the room, and also changed into guest clothes and came to the study. Su Haoran instructed the housekeeper to prepare the car and took Su Muling to Liu's house.

The father and daughter of the Su family went out head and foot, and the Yuan family came to Xiao Wenxuan's door with their hind feet.

Without a shadow, the Yuan clan was at the door, and he went into the house to report.

Wuying had quietly told Xiao Wenxuan what Yuan and Su Wanqing said last night, and as soon as Yuan entered the door, Xiao Wenxuan knew the purpose of her trip.

Let people into the house, Xiao Wenxuan got straight to the point: "What is the reason why Madame came?" ”

Yuan Shi drank tea with a smile, looked at Xiao Wenxuan a few more times, and then opened his mouth: "Is my cousin still used to living here?" ”

Xiao Wenxuan replied lightly: "Uncle is merciful, everything is ready." You'an is grateful. ”

Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to live habitually." Before I finished speaking yesterday, your uncle let me go because he was afraid that I would be tired. I'm here today to ask you...... Can you take a wife? ”

Xiao Wenxuan raised his eyes and glanced at her, but there was still not much expression on his face: "Marry a wife...... The family did arrange one. Xiao Wenxuan deliberately paused.

Yuan's face froze instantly, but unfortunately he couldn't hide it.

"But, before they got married, they died...... So now it's still one person. ”

Yuan's face was flushed again.

"I see."

"What are your cousin's plans for the future?" Yuan's words around the bush set Xiao Wenxuan's words.

Xiao Wenxuan smiled: "Although my parents are gone, I want to trouble my uncle about marrying a wife and having children." ”

"Great. Then I won't say more useless words. I think you also know that the Su family only has two daughters. The eldest lady is already married, and the second lady should stay in Su Muling to inherit the Su family's huge estate, so she wants to recruit a son-in-law to help in the door. I think you are a real relative, and you know the roots. So...... Are you willing to join the Su family? Yuan looked at him hopefully after speaking.

Xiao Wenxuan smiled: "Mrs. Xie loves her, but unfortunately, I already have a happy girl in my heart." ”

Got someone in your heart? Yuan was sorry but unwilling: "What kind of family? Can it be better than our second miss of the Su family? I advise my cousin to think about it, the Su family is a wealthy family in Songjiang, and there are only a handful, not to mention this ten thousand family wealth, it is ......"

"Madame needn't say any more. Let me abandon my beloved, impossible. Xiao Wenxuan didn't want to hear anything more from her. Interrupted her coldly.

"You? Well, you don't want to have a good future, you deserve to suffer. Yuan's proposal was rejected, and the old man was ashamed and angry, and slapped the table and left.

Xiao Wenxuan snorted coldly behind her: "I can't help myself!" ”

******

Su Muling returned to her parents' house for the first time after becoming married, and the Liu family treated them cordially.

As soon as she heard that Su Muling had reconciled with Song Mingjie because the Song family treated her badly, she sighed that her daughter's life was thin.

After having lunch at Liu's house, Su Haoran and Su Muling resigned from the Liu family and did not return to Su's house, but came to a teahouse private room.

asked for a pot of Tieguanyin and a few snacks, and the father and daughter sat at the window, looking at the people coming and going outside the window, each with their own concerns.

For about half an hour, Su Muling looked at a carriage not far away, and his eyes were refreshed.

The carriage stopped at the door of the teahouse, and Liu Baimao and Pomegranate went upstairs with a ragged woman and an old woman.

When the woman raised her head in front of Su Haoran, Su Haoran was stunned.

"You? Are you the girl from Yuanfang? ”

The woman knelt down and bowed her head: "Yes." I'm Miss Yuan's girl Li Qinglian. ”

"You...... Aren't you dead? Su Haoran was surprised.

"I'm not dead, it's because Miss is afraid that I will tell me about her killing Mrs. Su, so she said that I was dead."

Li Qinglian had already been coerced by Su Muling and had to tell the truth.

Su Haoran stared at her with clenched fists: "How did your young lady kill my wife...... You said! ”

So, Li Qinglian explained the truth of the matter to Su Haoran again.

After Su Haoran listened, he got up and came to the window, trembling all over.

"Daddy, this Granny Du was the midwife who delivered my mother back then, and the situation at that time was not clearer than that of my mother-in-law."

Su Muling knew that Su Haoran must be heartbroken at the moment, but she still wanted Su Haoran to fully understand Yuan's behavior before she could completely die to her. After all, the Yuan family has been with Su Haoran for so many years, and he also gave birth to a daughter for him.

Su Haoran paused for a long time and turned around, his face pale.

"There's an old man."

Then, Granny Du told what happened in the delivery room on the spot again.

When Su Haoran heard Granny Du say that the Liu family tried her best to give birth to the child, and even entrusted the child to the person who killed her, she couldn't control her emotions anymore and cried on the table.

The person next to the pillow turned out to be the murderer of his beloved, Su Haoran hated himself for having no beads in his eyes, and regretted not being at the beginning!

……

Su Haoran returned home and never came out after entering the study, and he didn't even eat dinner.

The Yuan family brought him a well-prepared meal, but Su Haoran didn't let her in. The Yuan family didn't know why Su Haoran was like this, but he could only go back helplessly.

At night, the Yuan family tossed and turned, Su Wanqing's family affairs were not going well, Su Haoran and Su Muling didn't know what they were doing behind their backs for the past two days, Su Haoran had another attitude towards her, and the Yuan family had an ominous premonition......

The next day, it was the Midyear Festival.

Su Haoran got up early in the morning and took Su Muling to Zhuangzi in the east of the city to pay tribute to the deceased Liu.

Yu Ping'an, the steward of the east of the city, knew that the owner would come on this day every year, so he had people prepare in advance and greet him at the door.

Su Haoran and Su Muling were dressed in plain clothes, and the people behind them came to Liu's grave with offerings and paper money.

After setting up the offerings, Su Haoran personally cleaned and wiped the tombstone.

Waving everyone away, Su Haoran knelt in front of the grave, and while burning paper for the Liu family, he said softly: "Jue'er, I came to see you......"

Su Haoran choked: "Jue'er, I'm sorry for you." It wasn't until yesterday that I didn't know that I had left such a villain as the Yuan clan by your side, and I killed you...... It almost hurt Ling'er...... Jue'er, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Ling'er......" Su Haoran couldn't help but burst into tears for a while.

Su Muling knelt aside, took out a handkerchief and handed it to him: "Daddy, don't worry, Ling'er will clean up that poisonous woman for her mother." ”

On that day, Su Muling and Su Haoran sat at the grave, and Su Haoran chattered with the Liu family for most of the day.

Until noon, Su Muling was worried that he would suffer from heat stroke if he continued like this, so he called Yu Ping'an to carry him back to Zhuangzi.

At night, Su Haoran didn't want to face the Yuan family, and wanted to live in Zhuangzi for a while. So Su Muling quit Su Haoran, and took the girls to Nanhu to put on the lights before returning home.

In the house, Xichun had already prepared bath water.

Su Muling soaked in the water and closed her eyes and asked Xichun, "Are you ready?" ”

Xichun nodded: "Miss, don't worry, everything is ready according to your requirements." ”

"Mother Liu also knows." Su Muling asked again.

Xichun hung his head weakly.
