After a few more days, the Chinese New Year's Eve of this year was still spent in Yuyang.

Afu herself felt unhappy in her heart, and she couldn't rest for a few more days, so she was in a hurry to return to Beijing with Shuyu.

Jin Qing knew that after Zhu Shuomeng was sold into the army, he made a few hysterical troubles, hanged himself against the wall, and even tried jumping into the well, which made Mrs. Mu, who was not well well, so distressed that she washed her face with tears every day.

When Afu left, she forced herself to go out to deliver it, but the whole person was much haggard and thinner than before, and she didn't look like a person anymore. Mentally tortured, completely lost his former demeanor, holding Afu's hand, his lips moved but he couldn't make a sound, just burst into tears.

Afu's heart ached, the two of them were crying face to face, and Shuyu didn't know how to persuade him.

The streets are full of lights and beams, and there is only one big house in front of this one, and there is a gloomy cloud.

In the end, it was Jin Shao's wife Lu Ziyi who came forward: "Sister Fu, don't worry, A-Niang has me and my sister-in-law at home, it's okay." ”

Afu nodded tremblingly: "A-Niang, you're okay, I'm leaving." ”

Everything is normal, and no one noticed that Afu subconsciously changed her name from "godmother" to "A-niang".

On the second day after the two arrived in the capital, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Afu was summoned into the palace by Mu Shuyuan in a small sedan chair.

The matter involves Mu Liangren's biological mother Zhu Shuomeng, and Afu really doesn't know how to talk to the two Mu Niangniang, and the two of them have been waiting for several days, and they didn't give Afu a chance to write a manuscript at all, and it was directly "presenting evidence in court".

The matter was too big, and Afu told her about it one by one, and the palace fell into a long-term embarrassment.

Mu Shuyuan lowered her head to count the floor tiles, Afu pinched the veil and didn't dare to make a sound, Mu Liangren's gaze crossed the window sash and fell far, far away.

No one knew what to say, and in the end, it was Mu Liangren who broke the silence in a man-like voice: "Why didn't my sister and Fumei speak?" ”

Afu's scalp was numb, and she didn't dare to say a word.

Mu Shuyuan said embarrassedly: "Sister, the second brother's handling... Indeed..."

Mu Liangren didn't embarrass his sister for too long, and Lili said: "Sister, don't think about it, that woman has nothing to do with me Mu Ying in this life, I only have one mother in my life, and that is Ah Niang." If my mother thinks that the blood on my body is not clean, I will let it dry."

The horrified Afra stopped her and said, "Second sister, what are you talking about!" We grew up together, the talent and morality of the second sister, and the mother-daughter relationship between the second sister and the godmother, how can we turn a blind eye? But blood and family affection are difficult to give up in the end, so it is normal for sisters to have concerns..."

In the end, it was her biological mother who claimed to have been dead for many years, and she had personally fed her back then, Afu thought, she would always miss it a little bit, and she was a little embarrassed.

Who knew that Mu Liangren reacted greatly: "What kind of blood and family? I only have one sentence, my aunt is a lady. Yes, you are all concubines, if you want to isolate me, I have no choice, I have no defense. But don't force this mother into my arms! ”

"Even if she gave birth to me and did a good job, ruined my brother's reputation like this, and didn't take my situation to heart, what is there for me to remember? I can't choose whose belly I am born in, but I can always choose who to respect, who to respect, and who to be filial, right? ”

Mu Shuyuan, who had never opened her mouth, held the hands of her two younger sisters and said softly: "Okay, stop arguing." Between sisters, the original heart is not the original, we have also been together since childhood, Ah Ying, you know Fumei's heart, don't you? Sister Fu, since your second sister has made it clear, you will keep it in mind. From then on, there was no such person as Zhu Shuomeng in this world. Your second sister is also in the family tree. ”

Afu nodded, a little surprised.

It's not that she thinks that blood must be greater than the grace of nurturing, for example, she is now closer to her godmother than to her mother;

In the final analysis, she still regards Mu Liangren as Mrs. Mu's adopted daughter, which is one level lower than their orthodox concubines. On weekdays, these sisters are still treated differently.

Afu also thought that she was a carefree person who didn't pay attention to etiquette the most, just like Ming Yan's brother who was as otherworldly as her brother, it seemed that she really overestimated herself.

It was so stiff, she didn't want to stay in the palace for a long time, so she talked a few words and went back.

Back in the sedan hall of Pei's mansion, Afu saw a splendid octagonal sedan chair parked next to her, and at first glance it was Pei Man's style, and said strangely: "The big girl is back?" ”

Today is the third year of junior high school, and it stands to reason that the girl who got married should return to the door, but Gu Yuansian has not allowed Pei Man to move around with the Pei family more before, and Afu didn't expect it.

The maid who was waiting in the sedan hall said: "Back to the second lady, it was the eldest girl and Miss Shuer who came, saying that they were going to have lunch in the house, and you were not there, so the eldest lady asked someone to prepare the dishes." ”

Afu had a headache when she heard Wang Xi's words. But fortunately, it was Pei Man who came this time, to see who listened to her Tang Seng chanting!

She approached lightly, and sure enough, she heard Wang Xi complaining: "The second brother and sister are a thousand pets, go back to this mother's house today, go to the godmother's house tomorrow to have a look, and go to talk to the little sister the day after tomorrow to talk to the little sister. ”

Pei Man smiled: "Ah Xi, how can I listen to what you mean, it's not good to be spoiled?" Afu can eat everywhere, and there will be helpers everywhere in the future, which is also helpful to our Pei family! ”

Wang Xi also smiled, and his voice sounded quite polite: "That's natural." The second brother and sister are naturally a lovely person, and they are exquisite outside, and I just want her to stay at home more. It's the New Year's Festival soon, and there are so many things at home, and the big sister is back today, and she can't welcome her..."

Afu pushed the door in, with a happy look on her face that was unadulterated: "Big sister is here!" ”

Unexpectedly, Shuyu was also sitting on the side, but he didn't say anything, so Afu, who was listening to the corner outside the door, didn't notice it and was shocked.

Pei Man smiled: "Yes, it's almost the New Year, I will personally come to send a gift for the festival, and by the way, I will also send this little girl over!" Shuer, who was sitting next to his elbow, said, "Quick, call the second aunt." ”

Shure stood up and called out in a clear and cool voice: "Second uncle! ”

Afu picked her up and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for half a year, Shure is so tall!" ”

She happened to touch the gadgets given by Mu Shuyuan in her sleeve, so she took them out and handed them to her: "Second aunt didn't prepare anything for you, there is a small peach wood carving here, you can keep it for fun!" ”

Shuer didn't see her anymore, so he took it warmly and said with a smile: "Thank you, aunt, Shure is disrespectful!" ”

Afu was surprised, I haven't seen her for half a year, this little girl is a lot more cheerful and lively, and she is a little different from the shy appearance of the past.

Pei Man propped up his chin, watched Afu and Shuer gossiping, and said with a smile: "The big girl who is about to go out is more pungent than when she was a child." ”

Shu Yu only then spoke: "Isn't this just following the big sister?" was killed by Pei Man with a look, and stopped talking with a smile.

Afu knew most of the time in her heart, and it was Pei Man who first asked herself to help Shuer find her in-laws. Gu Yuansian didn't allow her to have too close contacts with the Pei family, and it took a lot of effort to come over.

Wang Xi said: "Second brother and sister, seeing that Shuer should also go out, you will take her with you these days, and take her with you when you go out and walk around, and see each other more, it is not in vain that you float outside every day." ”

She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were rather cold.

Afu had already heard what she meant outside the door, but seeing that Shuyu didn't say it, she wasn't sure if her husband was also dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't dare to block her rashly, but she responded softly and weakly: "The eldest sister-in-law taught me a lesson." Afu didn't want to float outside, but she always wouldn't go back to others, for fear of offending them, so she was..."

Wang Xi interrupted her: "I'm not educating you, it's just that now that Shuer is following you, you have to consider everything you say and do." ”

Glancing at Shu Yu, who was bowing her head and drinking tea, she said again: "I'm a widow, and I can't be used..."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Man's face fell.

is a big family, which one is close to Zhongji, and she hangs on her lips every day, and she doesn't dare to miss for a moment.

"Alright, alright." She waved her hand, "Now that Afu is back, I'll go back." Afu, go to the heart, find a good home for your niece, listen? ”

Shu Yu didn't care about the eldest sister-in-law's face that was white and blue, and got up and said, "Sister, don't you have a meal here?" It's time for lunch..."

Pei Man had already stood up and walked outside the house, and said with a smile: "Are you still greedy for your family's meal?" ”

She squeezed Shure's hand: "Obediently, listen to your uncles and aunts in everything, and remember what A-Niang told you, do you know?" ”

Shuer nodded obediently, and grabbed Afu's sleeve with the other hand: "A-Niang, don't worry about going back, Shuer knows." ”
