Chapter 588: Justifying Her Name
Thinking that she had been kept in the dark for the past ten years, caring for a girl who had nothing to do with her, and responding to her requests, Old Madam Shen felt a burst of fire in her heart.
What's more, over the years, that Gu Ruan is really not like words, she has given so much, but Gu Ruan has never truly loved her. Although she is old, she is not blind in her eyes or in her heart, and she knows very well what Gu Ruan does to her.
It's just that she always thought that it was her daughter's only bone and blood, so no matter how white-eyed Gu Ruan was, she didn't care about it. I just thought that her temperament was with the Gu family, and she didn't think much about it.
Now that I think about it, it turns out that she and Gu Ruan are not related by blood, so Gu Ruan can't get close to her, so Gu Ruan has no shadow of the Shen family at all.
Now that she knew the "truth", Old Madam Shen was immediately relieved of the regrets that Gu Ruan had always had in her heart.
It's just that in the end, she is a person who has been hurting her granddaughter for ten years, and Mrs. Shen doesn't know how to deal with it.
This man is old, and his heart is always softened.
What's more, in the version of the truth that the Tong family told her, Gu Ruan was just a role that the Gu family found to temporarily replace Lin Ruan to appease her.
Old Madam Shen thought about it for a long time, afraid that Lin Ruan would be angry, patted her hand, carefully considered her tone and said: "That Gu Ruan, although she has been enjoying everything that originally belonged to you with your identity all these years, she should not be aware of it, and she is quite innocent when it comes to this matter." Grandmother can't blame her, she can only see her in the future and no longer let her enter the gate of the Shen family, can you understand? ”
Lin Ruan smiled: "Of course I can understand, grandmother, thanks to her by your side for my filial piety and coaxing you to be happy all these years, even if there is no merit and hard work, how can I be so ignorant." ”
That Gu Ruan really doesn't know his true identity, speaking of which, they are all man-made sins, and Gu Ruan is really not wrong.
Moreover, Gu Ruan has been with Mrs. Shen for ten years as the granddaughter of the Shen family, and people are emotional animals, even if you raise a cat or a dog, you can give birth to love, not to mention a living person.
Even if Gu Ruan is a bastard, Old Madam Shen has really hurt her for ten years. It's good to be able to see her without seeing her.
When Old Madam Shen heard this, she suddenly cried out in a heartfelt manner: "You, what a lovely girl." At the same time, the more indebted and guilty I felt to Lin Ruan, no one is born sensible, if it is not for too much suffering and grievances, how can I develop such a sensible character.
For example, that fake Gu Ruan, under her protection, is so willful and frivolous that she is boundless, who dares to give her grievances?
Thinking of those granddaughters who should have belonged to her, but were occupied by an outsider, Old Madam Shen felt a lot less relieved of Gu Ruan.
Old Madam Shen immediately left Gu Ruan behind, and said to the Tong family: "Go and call all the subordinates in the mansion to the main hall, and I will announce Ah Ruan's identity in the mansion first." In a few days, there will be a banquet in the house, and I will officially introduce our Shen family's granddaughter to the whole of Kyoto! ”
Tong smiled and said, "Good mother, I'll do it." ”
Lin Ruan hurriedly said, "Grandmother, don't be so troublesome, right?" ”
Old Madam Shen's face was full of smiles: "No trouble, no trouble!" This is a must, I want the whole of Kyoto to know that the capable girl of the Fuyou County Lord is the child of our Shen family. She has been living abroad for ten years, and she has not insulted the glory of our Shen family. I also want everyone to know that from now on, you will have a family child, and no one will dare to bully you anymore! No one dares to look down on you anymore! ”
Lin Ruan's heart was warm, and he rarely showed the posture of a child, and leaned his head on Old Madam Shen's shoulder and rubbed: "Grandmother, it turns out that I feel at home, it's like this." ”
This feeling is completely different from being with the Lin family. When she was with the Lin family, although she was also very happy and had heart-warming moments, for her, it was more of a responsibility.
And the feeling that the Shen family gave her was peace of mind and dependence. There is a sense of solidity that even if the sky collapses, there are elders supporting you.
Old Madam Shen was made sour by these words, and hugged Lin Ruan and cried again.
Soon, people up and down the Dingguo Mansion, even the gatekeeper who watched the gate, were called to the main hall.
Although there are only two masters in the mansion now, the Dingguo Mansion is very large, so there are not many servants in the family, more than 100 people.
So many people stood together, and they all whispered curiously about what was going on, and the master would call them all.
While it was lively, the butler's voice came in: "The old lady has arrived." ”
The people in the hall suddenly fell silent, and they all bowed their heads respectfully and waited for Old Madam Shen to walk up to the main seat.
Old Madam Shen's health was not very good, and she didn't usually get out of bed and walk around, so Lin Ruan and Tong Shi hugged her alone.
When they sit down on the throne, they all kneel and bow.
Old Madam Shen spoke: "Calling you all here today is a big event that needs to be announced. All of you look up. ”
The subordinates all looked up obediently, and suddenly, the slightly older subordinates in the house all widened their eyes and shouted, "Grandma! ”
The younger subordinate stared at Lin Ruan with a curious expression.
Old Madam Shen took Lin Ruan's hand and said to her subordinates: "This is Ah Ruan, my daughter Shen Mengjun's own flesh and blood, and the only cousin girl in the Dingguo Mansion. From now on, she will be one of the masters of the Dingguo Mansion, and if anyone disrespects her at all, she will be sold. ”
These words shocked all the subordinates and couldn't react.
Even those who are a little older really don't understand what's going on.
This girl who looks like an aunt and grandmother is a cousin, but what about the cousin girl before? Isn't that one?
Old Madam Shen didn't explain anything to them, anyway, these people were quite good at inquiring, and within half a day, they would be able to figure out what was going on by themselves.
After announcing this matter, Old Madam Shen asked her subordinates to carry a soft sedan chair and took Lin Ruan to the ancestral hall to offer incense to Shen Mengjun.
Lin Ruan knelt on the soft cushion of the ancestral hall, holding three pillars of incense in his hand, and respectfully kowtowed three times to the tablets of Shen Mengjun and the ancestors of the Shen family. And assured Shen Mengjun's tablet in his heart: "Madam, if I occupy your daughter's body, I will definitely live well in her place, and as your daughter, I will filial piety to the second elder of the Shen family, and I will also seek justice for you and your daughter." ”
Old Madam Shen looked at her daughter's tablet, and couldn't help crying: "Mengjun, forgive my mother for being dizzy, for so many years, I have regarded a fish eye as a pearl, but I don't know that your child is suffering outside." Mother will definitely treat her well and make up for all the hardships and grievances she has suffered over the years. ”
