Chapter Twenty-Five: Confusing Black and White
Bai Yueyu's words were clever, and when the Bai family heard it, Song Shiyang also had some thoughts about Bai Yueyu, but it was only because of Bai Yanran that he gave up. And she also knew her sister-in-law Qi's temperament, and when she heard Bai Yueyu say this, she thought that Bai Yanran was also such a strong character, and she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in her heart.
After leaving Chunhua Courtyard, it was almost dinner time, and Sun's mother was ordered to invite Bai's over for dinner. Before leaving, Bai Yueyu glanced at Mother Sun, and Mother Sun nodded secretly.
Bai is a person who can't hide things in his heart, and he can't stop probing his grandmother's tone on the road, wanting to inquire about Bai Yanran's temperament from his subordinates. Mother Sun was holding a grudge against Bai Yanran because she was punished for kneeling the day before yesterday, and at this moment she was seized the opportunity to take revenge.
Mother Sun looked at the front and back of no one, and pulled Bai Shi to the corner with a bitter look and said: "Auntie doesn't know, this second lady is spoiled by Mrs., but she is a powerful person, the old slave was slapped by the second miss for a little thing a few days ago and was punished for kneeling in public." Not to mention those of us who are subordinates, even the eldest lady often has to swallow her anger. ”
Bai frowned and said, "Are you serious?" ”
Mother Sun added fuel and vinegar: "It's naturally true! Don't hide it from Grandma Gu, in fact, the eldest lady and the young master are also in love, and the eldest lady is even willing to be a concubine, and the master also agrees. But the second lady has always been used to being domineering, so she simply went back to her grandfather's house with her wife in a fit of anger, and she came back two days ago when the master personally picked her up. ”
Bai Shi was worried about it, and he didn't use it much for dinner, so Qi only shirked and said that he was not adaptable. After dinner, Qi ordered to make a supper, and specially asked Bai Yanran to send it.
Bai Yanran naturally understood what the Qi family meant, and she just wanted to behave in front of the Bai family, so she obediently went. It's just that she sent the soup over, but the Bai family treated her very coldly, and didn't seem to like her very much, and Bai Yanran couldn't stay and talk.
On the way back, Su Xin said angrily: "Why is this aunt like this, how can I say that the young lady is also her prospective daughter-in-law, and she treats you as kindly as the eldest lady." ”
Bai Yanran was suspicious: "Do you say that my aunt and sister have a close relationship?" ”
Su Xin pouted and said: "At noon, the slave maid passed by the Chunhua Courtyard and saw that the aunt and grandmother were discussing the piano skills with the eldest lady in the courtyard. ”
Bai Yanran showed a sarcastic smile, she knew that Bai Yueyu would not give up easily, so she had hit her aunt with her idea. In her previous life, she saw that her aunt was a weak and credulous person, and she was afraid that what Bai Yueyu said made her so cold to herself.
"It's okay, don't tell your mother about it, and make her worried. In the end, this is my cousin's marriage, as long as my cousin has me in his heart. ”
Su Xin nodded happily when he heard this: "That's right, the young master has a deep affection for Miss, and he will definitely not let Miss be bullied if he protects Miss." ”
The next day, the Bai family returned to the Song Mansion and sighed all the time. She was originally a kind person, but she was troubled by her in-laws' sister-in-law for many years, so she naturally had resentment in her heart. Now that I heard that Bai Yanran was also a pampered and domineering person, I couldn't help but start worrying.
The next day, Bai Yueyu came to visit, and the Bai family was lonely, and it was naturally happy to have Bai Yueyu by her side to flatter. Bai Yueyu ran to the Song Mansion for a few days in a row, and she really put all her heart into coaxing the Bai family to be happy, which made Aunt Zhao feel a little uncomfortable.
Since she knew that the child in her belly could not be born, her spirit collapsed, and it was her daughter who had other plans before she continued to drink the tocolytic, but this pregnancy was really embarrassing, and she felt that she was much older.
Especially looking at the young and beautiful two new aunts, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but panic, and blamed Bai Yueyu and said: "Don't just think about pleasing your aunt, but also plan for your mother." Now that the child can't be counted on, your father is fascinated by those two foxes again, can't you ignore the little lady? ”
Bai Yueyu won the favor of the Bai family, and the wind blew in her ears every day, which made her more and more dislike Bai Yanran, and she was proud, and after listening to Aunt Zhao's words, she smiled and said: "Auntie, don't worry, my daughter has planned it." Daddy doesn't know that this child can't be born, so you go to give daddy a soft dress, for the sake of the child, daddy will naturally be kind to you. You talk to me again, as long as your daughter marries and wins her cousin's favor again, will the little lady still worry that she will have no support in the future? ”
Aunt Zhao thinks about it, now that her son is gone, she can only rely on her daughter, and only when her daughter marries well can she be regarded as having something to rely on.
So when Bai Zonglin was alone in the study at night, Aunt Zhao specially dressed up plainly, Bai Zonglin still remembered his love for many years, and saw Zhao's big belly and a haggard and weak appearance, and his heart softened.
"I'm still pregnant, why can't I take care of it?"
Aunt Zhao shed two tears of love at the right time, and said aggrievedly: "The concubine body is still a master, and the newcomer has forgotten the concubine body." ”
Bai Zonglin was a little weak-hearted, these days he did leave Aunt Zhao behind, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"What nonsense are you talking about, I didn't let you recuperate in the courtyard because you were uncomfortable."
Aunt Zhao snuggled weakly in Bai Zonglin's arms, and said timidly: "The concubine knows that the master still has the past in his heart, and he won't take the concubine seriously." ”
The two of you and I talked about love for a while, and Aunt Zhao led the conversation to the main topic.
"A few days ago, my aunt and grandmother returned home, and the concubine didn't go to greet her when she was unwell, but she didn't want her to fall in love with Yu'er, and asked Yu'er to go to the Song Mansion as a guest, and she looked more affectionate than the second lady."
Bai Zong Lynch said, "Oh, is it really something? ”
Aunt Zhao looked at his expression and continued: "It's true, master, you also know that Yu'er has always been likable, and it is reasonable for aunt and grandmother to like Yu'er, if you can let Yu'er be by your side every day, it would be the best." ”
Bai Zonglin pondered for a moment and said, "I know your thoughts, but you also know that Madame and Yan'er attach great importance to this matter, and they have made trouble once before because of this, I'm afraid it will ......."
Aunt Zhao begged: "Master, Yu'er is also your daughter, you can't help but plan for her." And the matter of taking concubines is the Song family's business in the final analysis, and Mrs. and Second Miss can't all make the decisions. Now that my aunt likes Yu'er so much, it's better for the lord to ask my aunt what she means, if this matter is raised by my aunt and grandmother, then Mrs. and the second lady will have no choice. ”
Bai Zonglin looked at Aunt Zhao's bulging lower abdomen, and finally sighed for a while: "Okay, then I'll try again." ”
Bai Yanran didn't know that Aunt Zhao had moved Bai Zonglin again, but even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart. After all, no matter who nodded in this matter, as long as Song Shiyang cared about her, Bai Yueyu would not be able to enter the door of the Song family.
And she, there are more important things to do.
On the sixth day of the fifth month, the sky was gloomy when I woke up in the morning.
Bai Boren started to eat as usual, and then went to the yamen with his father. This day seems to be no different from the past, but Bai Yanran knows that today is Bai Boren's fate, so she must help her brother avoid this catastrophe.
Just after the hour, it began to rain in the sky, and the rain became heavier at the solstice, but Bai Yanran was about to go out at this time.
In the heavy rain, it is not advisable for chariots and horses to gallop, so some are unhappy. When the carriage passed by a street corner, Bai Yanran lifted the curtain of the carriage, and sure enough, she saw a young woman wearing linen and filial piety kneeling on the ground.
But Bai Yanran only had a coldness in her eyes, and she really couldn't sympathize with this woman named Zhu Rouyun.
In his previous life, his brother had to come back in the rain to get the file, and on the way he saw a weak woman selling herself in the rain to bury her father, so he sympathized with the silver and asked her to go back to live and settle her deceased father, but she was entangled by this woman and harmed her brother's life.
My brother is a benevolent and righteous person, and helping him is just accumulating virtue and doing good deeds without asking for anything in return. But this Zhu Rouyun saw that her brother was dressed and talked extraordinary, so she had the idea of clinging, and she wanted to repay her brother's kindness as a slave and a maid as an excuse, and she had to be entangled, and in the end, her brother had no choice but to let her enter the White Mansion as a slave.
But Zhu Rouyun really wanted to be a house slave after all her efforts, and soon found an opportunity for an older brother to get drunk and climbed into bed, and the matter was well known. My brother had no choice but to accept her as a concubine, and because of this, a good marriage was delayed.
is extraordinary, but she was bought by Bai Yueyu and secretly colluded, and put the evidence of framing her brother for colluding with King Jianwang in her brother's study, causing her brother to be imprisoned. Such a scheming and ungrateful person must not be allowed to harm her brother again in this life!
Seeing Zhu Rouyun's figure disappear behind the carriage, Bai Yanran smiled coldly and lowered the curtain. The carriage finally stopped outside the palace gate, and the master and servant got out of the carriage with umbrellas, but were stopped by the guards when they arrived at the palace gate.
"The palace is important, and you are not allowed to enter without an edict."
Bai Yanran said softly: "My brother Bai Boren is the head of the Ministry of Rites, and today he accidentally left an important file at home, so he came to return it in the rain. I can't get in, so I'll bother you both. ”
The two guards saw that there was so much silver to take out just an ordinary errand errand and have so much silver to take, and they immediately became overjoyed, one of them glanced at the other, and then said to Bai Yanran: "Miss is polite, but it's a trivial matter, I'll go back when I go." ”
Bai Yanran smiled: "That's the best." ”
Seeing that person entered the imperial city, Bai Yanran did not leave, and was still standing in the rain at the palace gate.
The guard protected the file in his arms, and ran to the Xianwen Academy of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, but he met King An who was going out, and couldn't help but shrink his neck. He should have been on duty at the gate of the palace now, but he came to this Xianwen Academy to run errands, and he happened to be bumped into by King An, so he was naturally weak-hearted.
"See His Royal Highness King An."
Ji Lingyun himself was a freewheeling person, and he didn't care about these little things at all, but when he saw that the guard seemed to be carrying something in his arms, he asked casually: "Get up, what is this thing in your arms?" ”
