Chapter Seventy-Eight: Punish the Ancestral Hall, and figure it out
The person who came was Mrs. Su.
Su Man knelt up straight, turned his head to look at Mrs. Su, and grinned a reluctant smile: "The granddaughter knows that the grandmother is blaming her granddaughter for giving face to the Duchess in front of many ladies, so that others will see the jokes." ”
"Confused!" Old Madam Su stretched out her finger and pointed at Su Man's forehead, "Are you here to punish you for others?" ”
Su Man pursed his lips and thought, isn't it?
Mrs. Su understood what Su Man was thinking, and she was not in a hurry, so she only asked Mother Zhou to put a Taishi chair beside Su Man, and she sat on the Taishi chair slowly.
Su Man knew that Mrs. Su was in a posture of wanting to have a long talk with herself, she hung her head, put her hands on her knees, and knelt upright.
Old Madam Su looked at Su Man, who was silent, and felt pity and annoyance in her heart. She gasped for a long time, then sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "You have grown up by my side since childhood, I think even if you are lazy, but your mind is very transparent, and many things can be figured out by yourself even if you don't have to tell you." ”
Su Man pinched the embroidery thread on his skirt with his fingers, but he didn't even raise his head, and only replied sullenly: "My granddaughter disappointed my grandmother." ”
"You really disappointed me, you disappointed me!" Old Madam Su shouted in a deep voice: "Do you think that you have just lost the face of the Duchess of that country, and this marriage will not be completed?" ”
Su Man was a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to directly push the old lady's mouth, so he only muttered in a low voice: "Could it be that she still wants her granddaughter to enter the door?" ”
Old Madam Su was so angry by Su Man's words, she stretched out her finger again, and poked on the top of Su Man's head: "I always think you are smart, why are you stupid to this point now!" ”
"When you get married, the Duchess of Dingguo says she is willing, and she can marry you smoothly? When your mother thinks that the second brother of the Wei family is a good one, she can marry you? ”
"Your mother is ignorant, thinking of using the marriage on the side to avoid you entering the palace, I can understand, but why are you so breathless and can't understand?"
Su Man was a little stunned by Mrs. Su's words, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at Mrs. Su: "What does grandmother mean by this?" ”
Old Mrs. Su looked at her granddaughter's white little face full of doubts, and finally sighed, suppressed the anger in her heart a little, and said in a low voice: "Blame me, I always feel that you are still young, and I don't want to talk to you about these things, if you understand, there will be no such thing today." ”
Su Man was even more puzzled, she held Mrs. Su's knees with both hands, and her tone was full of anxiety: "Grandmother, what do you mean by this?" ”
Old Madam Su patted Su Man's little hand, sighed lightly again, and said: "What do I have to do with the royal family, you know this in your heart, now the emperor calls me a cousin for my mother's sake, in fact, my relationship with the royal family has already been three thousand miles, and the current emperor has no affection." ”
"But in the eyes of others, they don't think so, they always think that I am the only daughter of the eldest princess, and the emperor always treats me differently from others."
Su Man didn't know why Old Madam Su suddenly said this, but she still knelt on Old Madam Su's knees and listened quietly.
"You may have heard others say that your grandfather tried to protect the emperor when the emperor ascended the throne."
Su Man nodded slowly, Old Madam Su sighed lightly, raised her hand to caress her hair, and continued: "Your father is still valued by the emperor, and most of it is because of your grandfather's kindness. ”
"Our Su family is now like cooking oil on fire, with my royal cousin who is not far away, and your father has 200,000 military power in his hands, which noble family does not look down on us."
"It is this high opinion that puts our Su family on the fire, if we make a wrong step, I am afraid that we will be doomed."
Listening to Mrs. Su's words, Su Man suddenly remembered what the original owner had said, and remembered the catastrophe five years later.
Su Man only felt that she was indeed as Mrs. Su said, she was really stupid, the crisis had never been far away from her, but she thought that things were still far away, and she was living in such a mess.
Old Madam Su looked at Su Man's face full of shock, thinking that her words had scared Su Man, so she patted the top of Su Man's head comfortingly and continued.
"I may have said this more heavily, but now, this is indeed the case in our Su family."
"The emperor will summon you into the palace, I think I want to use this to knock our Su family, if there is anything wrong with Liaodong, the ladies of our Su Mansion are still in his hands."
"The emperor is suspicious of his father......" Su Man was silent for a long time, and finally muttered.
Old Madam Su did not deny it, but continued: "The most difficult thing in this world to control is the human heart, he may have been really grateful to the Su family at the beginning, and now he is really afraid of the Su family." ”
Su Man pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and asked: "Kedingguo Mansion is the outer family of the first prince, if I marry the second lang of the Wei family......
Seeing that Su Man had understood, Mrs. Su nodded with relief and said in a low voice: "That's why I said, it's just that your mother doesn't understand, and you can't hold your breath like this." ”
Su Man only felt that her heart was sore and unbearable, in the past few years in the Bofu, life was too comfortable, so comfortable that she even forgot that she still had so many distant worries and near troubles.
"Grandmother, granddaughter knows wrong."
Su Man really knew that she was wrong at this time, and said that impulse was the devil, and she really felt the horror of the devil at this time.
Old Madam Su stopped talking, only slowly stood up and walked towards the outside of the ancestral hall.
Su Man was still kneeling on the futon, but he didn't even turn his head.
Old Madam Su walked to the door, but her footsteps were stunned, and then Su Man heard Old Madam Su's slightly tired voice sound: "Do you still remember the Yang Wu girl at the third baptism ceremony of Sister Qian'er?" ”
Su Man was slightly stunned and turned around.
Mrs. Su was holding on to the door frame, but her back was straight, and the setting sun shone in from the outside, hitting her body with a layer of golden red.
"Today, I heard from a lady who is familiar with the Marquis of Changqing Mansion that the fifth girl Yang had a sudden illness a few days ago and is gone."
After Mrs. Su said this, she didn't look at Su Man's expression, and walked straight out.
The door closed again, blocking the last rays of light, and the ancestral hall was once again gloomy and quiet.
When Lu Yan came back, he saw Qingyuan standing at the gatehouse with an anxious face, he only felt bad in his heart, and took two steps forward and asked in a low voice, "But what happened?" ”
"Childe, the girl has been punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and she has been kneeling for two hours."
