After lunch, Lan can finally say goodbye and go back to the room to rest, this entertainment is strange and tiring, she reclined on the recliner and closed her eyes to recuperate, holding the handle of the Xiangfei bamboo bone lady fan in her hand and shaking it slowly, in order to relieve the heat, think about the past in the Zhou Mansion, there must be Mu Qing and himself fan, the two of them commented on the book, so unhappy, and now she can only sit here alone and think about it.

The door was open, as quiet as pushing the door in. She looked around, the decoration of the new house had not been removed, it was still mainly red, the curtain and bedding were still festive, and the furniture was carefully selected by Shaowen, which was Shaowen's vision and style.

Looking at what should have been her groom, what should have been her wedding room, she sneered: "Sister Lan, shouldn't you explain it to me?" ”

"Explain what?"

"You know I like Brother Shaowen, why do you want to snatch him?"

"Ru sister, where to start with this, from beginning to end, it was your Brother Shaowen's wishful thinking." Zhilan said coldly, "Please figure it out, it was you Brother Shaowen who took the initiative to pursue me, I can't break free, I can't do anything!" ”

"You're such a good sister, and I know I've liked him for many years. It's a good sentence to be helpless, you know that I don't have much to gain in life, and I only need Brother Shaowen, but I didn't expect you to snatch him away so raw, and you are still here to defend me. Oh, you're helpless, and I don't have anything, are you fooling me with me! My Brother Shaowen is not the overlord's hard bow, he chases you, if you don't want to care about me, can he still force you? In vain I treated you as a good sister, and that's how you repaid me? You have had whatever you want since you were a child, why can't you give me Brother Shaowen? Jingru became more and more angry the more she spoke, and looking at Zhi Lan's pitiful appearance, she stepped forward directly and slapped her coldly! Smoke and frost were shocked.

"Zhou Jingru! Please go and ask you what kind of tricks Brother Shaowen played to marry me into the door, why are you sprinkling in my room? You're not the Li family yet, and I'm the rightful young grandmother in this family! You're still here to question me! This is my room, Frost Blossom, please Miss Cousin out. This slap aroused her temper, and she got up and shouted angrily, "Besides, what if I rob it?" What if you don't grab it? Now I'm here. Can you still change? Honey in your eyes, don't think I like it too! You're angry enough, this slap is what I owe you, there is no sisterhood between us from now on, since you don't treat me as a sister, I don't need to climb you as a sister. Get the hell out of here! She glanced at her.

"You don't need to give an eviction order, anyway, I will be a member of the Li family soon. Zhou Zhilan, you show me a walk. After speaking, Jingru was about to slam the door and leave, but she didn't expect to be tripped by something halfway, and she fell to the ground with a "plop".

"If you are like a sister, you can leave as soon as you go, and you don't have to make this big gift." Zhilan shook the fan unhurriedly, but her mouth eagerly ordered Shuanghua, "Why don't you hurry up and help Miss Jingru up?" ”

Shuanghua woke up like a dream and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Jingru, Zhilan's body didn't move, and her mouth was still asking: "Oh, where did you hurt Sister Ru?" The threshold of my room is high, such as sister, you have to be careful when walking. ”

There was something in the words, Jing Ru didn't understand, she turned her head and glared at Zhilan, and slowly walked out of the room with the support of Shuanghua. After Jingru left, Zhilan and Yancui looked at each other and smiled. Yancui, a little clever ghost, deeply understood the look in his handover and really made a move. Yancui was about to say something to her, but was stopped by Zhilan's silent gesture.

Shuanghua entered the room, and Zhilan asked a few words calmly, but said that Miss Jingru had broken a little skin on her knee, and the injury was fine. Zhilan knows that Jingru has a good face since she was a child, and she must not say much about how she is hurt.

It just so happened that Li Shaowen was going to Nanjing on a business trip for a few days, as the saying goes, "the boss marries a businesswoman, and the businessman values profit over separation", Zhilan felt a lot more relaxed, and she and him have not yet found a balance, especially in the matter of husband and wife. Li Shaowen was not there, Zhilan knew that she was not welcomed, she abided by the family rules arranged for her by Wan Xinqiao, greeted her in the morning and dusk, usually did not say much, and tried her best to be a virtuous daughter-in-law.

At night, Mu Qing rushed into the old man's room, and he must ask clearly.

"When I went to Echeng, what did you talk about with Lan'er?"

The old man looked up from the file and asked, "Oh? What did Lan'er tell you? ”

The old man raised his eyebrows quietly.

"It's not her, it's Mother Rong who is gone, who told me, she said that Miss told her before she got married." For the first time in his life, Mu Qing lied to his father.

The old man nodded: "What do you want to know?" ”

"Dad, you know my intentions, why do you ......?"

"You and her can't be, you're brother and sister! It is and will be in the future! She is the abandoned daughter of the Qi family, and she is still cursed, do you think it is impossible for the Qi family to let her recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors? As long as she is in Jiangcheng, she will always be my daughter of Zhou Shixiong, do you understand? In fact, this layer, with your wit, how can you not think of it? You don't dare admit it. The old man hit the nail on the head, "Her best destination is Li Shaowen." ”

"I can take her away and leave Jiangcheng." Mu Qing categorically said what he thought in his heart.

"Innocent! You read the newspaper every day, you should know the situation, right? The north side is already in chaos, and it is difficult to say that Jiangcheng can live a few years in such a stable life. If you leave Jiangcheng, you have lost the foundation of Wande, where can you start? Zhilan is even more Miss Boudoir, but I'm afraid that I don't know much about everything outside, do you know how poor couples mourn? Instead of suffering with you, do you want to talk about whether Li Shaowen is a good destination for her? The old man's words made Mu Qing speechless, this is an irrefutable fact.

"What I said to you after Lan'er's wedding is actually what it means, but it's a pity that you have been immersed in emotions and can't get out at all. In business, why would I agree and match Lan'er and the young master of the Li family? Lan'er married the eldest young master of the Li family, in addition to her worry-free food and clothing in the second half of her life, it is also very good for us Wande, how long has Wande been caused and suppressed? Moreover, Wande has not fully recovered from the last crisis, and it is only beneficial for her to marry her. “

Suddenly, Mu Qing read a conclusion from his father's words: It is still Zhihe who hinders Wande, as long as he has Wande, he can call the shots, as long as Zhihe is defeated, there is naturally a way for Li Shaowen to return Zhilan obediently.

Zeng Zhilan told him that he wanted him to really control the Zhou family, he still had various concerns at that time, the key was that he did not have a strong sense of urgency, and he planned to think in the long run, but now he really can't afford to wait. Zhilan is really a bystander, he and Yuehua are full of meat on the palms and backs of their hands, and Yuehua still has the support of his mother, even if they split up, his share is indispensable. In the crisis some time ago, although Li Shaowen no longer acted on the surface, Wande's weakness has not been solved - Wande has long offended Chief Sun because of Yuehua's romantic history, and he has always been unable to take the upper line, so he has to be restrained. At present, Wande's cash flow is too weak, and it is difficult to preserve it at the slightest disturbance, and he must change this situation.

Back in the Silver Building, Mu Qing experienced the Phoenix incident, and he was more wary of people, and he didn't dare to be credulous. He did everything himself, and brought all the drawings of Zhilan's design found in the drawer to the silver building to show the masters, and picked what could be done to bring forth the new. He is no longer like Mu Qing who used to be like a spring breeze to people, his former self often politely courteous to others, and he couldn't say a word, so far he has become more like a businessman who will give grace and power.

Jingru was brought in from the main entrance in a sedan chair on the afternoon of July 18. Shao Wu readily agreed to marry Jingru, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of his wish, when he was a child, Jingru always chased the little adult Shao Wen, and he preferred to catch up behind Jingru, and was willing to be her follower.

Since the date was set, the Li family has been revolving around Shaowu's new marriage. The eldest aunt, Wan Linglong, specially came to the Li Mansion in advance to give her a dowry.

Zhilan watched coldly from the side of the water pavilion and the maids and servants came and went, to say that it is not jealous is false, people are most afraid of comparison, the comparison will be superior, and it is good to say that people are terrifying.

The subordinates chatted and said that Jing Ru's mother, Wan Linglong, specially came to personally direct the subordinates to make the bed and fold the quilt, and even the young grandmother married without such pomp. Aunts Zhang and Feng came to join in the fun, and Zhang said: "It's the same Miss Zhou, what is the difference between this concubine." If the eldest young master marries Miss Biao, the style must not be more sufficient, and the new famous head will be even louder. ”

"Not really."

In the house, Zhilan can hear and see. Since she married into the Li family, her temperament has actually been much more restrained. Every time I hear people talking, I quietly walk away, walking away doesn't mean that she doesn't take it to heart, who in this house doesn't look at the face of the eldest young master, the eldest young master is not there, who can protect her? Besides, Jingru, who is new to the house, hates herself so much that she hates it to the bone, even if she makes a small comeback. She knew better that the people of the Li Mansion saw themselves as just outsiders, and they were just guests for a while, and if they turned over and became the host, it seemed to stumble the nerves of the masters and refute their face. Zhilan completely felt the loneliness soaked in the bone marrow.

Li Shaowen and Zhilan both sat on chairs next to them to watch the ceremony. When saluting the new daughter-in-law's tea, Wan Xinqiao smiled and squinted, and deliberately sealed a big red envelope. Li Shaowen glanced at his mother, and he was unhappy. My mother hasn't given Zhilan a red envelope yet! According to the family rules, the second daughter-in-law must not surpass the eldest daughter-in-law when she marries into the door. My mother has always bowed to etiquette, doesn't she understand such a transgressive thing?

"Thank you, mother." was as quiet as a coquettish voice, which caused the onlookers to talk about Zhilan. Li Shaowen grabbed the armrest of the chair. He was a little angry, as quiet as entering the door, where did he put Zhilan? Although Zhilan's face was indifferent, Li Shaowen could feel her heartache, and he reached out in time to grab Zhilan's hand.

Zhilan looked at him and sighed, he is his own husband in the end, remembering what the eldest lady said to herself before leaving the pavilion, he is the sky in this family. No matter what kind of emotions she had held for him before, she had to reassess it carefully in her heart. Looking at the huge Li Mansion, only this man can be relied on at this time, since she has accepted her fate to come here, she should also be willing to gamble and lose. She took the initiative to respond to him, smiling at him, and her attitude eased a lot.

Li Shaowen was overjoyed, and in the chaos around him, there was only this woman sitting beside him. Before the ceremony was over, he suddenly chatted and the young man pulled Zhilan away.

Wan Xinqiao can stand it, originally she showed Zhilan what she wanted, and deliberately made it difficult for her, not wanting Li Shaowen to stand up for her and leave with her, and her resentment was recorded on Zhilan's head. Jingru didn't expect this to happen, looking at the empty position, she secretly pinched her nails into the flesh under the hijab.

"The last item, send it to the cave room." The master of ceremonies sang and sang in time. Everyone came back to their senses and continued to send the newcomers into the cave room in a lively and lively manner. Shaowu Jingru's new house is opposite to Shaowenzhilan, one in the west and the other in the east. Jingru was dragged into the west wing by Shaowu. Li Shaowu hugged the beauty, which can be described as a great joy in life.

Shaowen instructed the driver to prepare the car and go out for a walk, but actually wanted to take her away from the discussion at home. The two of them were just about to step out of the door.

"Stop! Where are you going today when your brother gets married? Wan Xinqiao's majestic voice sounded behind him.

"I have something to do with Lan'er, so don't wait for us at night." Shao Wentou didn't answer, he was at ease.

"No wonder he said that he forgot his mother when he married his daughter-in-law. I don't raise you as big as your daughter-in-law's words. Wan Xinqiao's nose was sore, and he wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

"Mother, speaking from my heart, don't you understand why I took Lan'er away? Do you have to tell me about it? ”

Wan Xinqiao didn't expect that his bowl of water was uneven, which angered Shaowen, and instead took his own army.

"Mother, if you don't respect Lan'er, you don't respect me, I know that choosing her didn't fulfill your wish, but she is the person I like, the eldest and youngest grandmother in this family, don't embarrass her in public like this in the future, okay?"

Zhilan kept looking at Shaowen, and her was moved by his words, which woke him up, he was his own husband! is the person she should rely on for the rest of her life. I never thought that Shaowen would unswervingly defend herself, and today she stands behind her like a big umbrella, so how can she not be moved?

Wan Xinqiao was speechless.

"Mother, let's go." Shaowen strode and pulled Zhilan, Zhilan hurriedly saluted Wanxin and followed Shaowen's steps.
