Chapter 217: The Outer Heart
What Min Hu didn't expect was that almost every letter from An hinted that Mrs. Min often made things difficult for her, and even framed her twice, which made the elders dislike and made her miserable. He occasionally returned to the capital, and An also complained a lot, and he loved to cry. Min Hu didn't believe it at all, and reprimanded her for being unvirtuous and unfilial, and the relationship between the two gradually faded. The year before last, An committed suicide, and Min Jia was stimulated and never spoke again.
But Mrs. Min is like a different person, and she is very keen on the family affairs of Min Hu. He was told of many girls, including the daughters of her brother, the daughter of her sister, or the daughter of her brother.
She also said conclusively, she always wanted her to have a lovely daughter-in-law because she didn't give birth to her own children in Minhu. Min Shangshu also felt sorry for her because Min Hu had no parents and connived at some of her behaviors.
Min Hu didn't want to hurt Mrs. Min's heart at first, and the people who said to her did not completely refuse. But the old lady of Min resolutely objected, saying that those girls were not worthy of being the daughters of the Min family, even if they were concubines and daughters-in-law. Min Hu secretly sent someone to investigate, those girls are really not good, not only the family, identity, but themselves, their parents and family have some problems, and they are not on the table.
Min Hu was dissatisfied, but for the sake of the past, it was not good to openly oppose her, so he could only refuse through the old lady. Later, it was discovered that Mrs. Min and the people around her said a lot of things to Min Jiapo that should not be said, which stimulated Min Jia's condition to worsen, and Min Hu began to be wary of Mrs. Min and saw her inadequacy......
A few days ago, Mrs. Min took advantage of the illness of the old lady of Min to persuade Min Shangshu to give one of her nieces who had just turned fourteen to Min Hu, and wanted to have a prelude to the first and then the prelude. It happened that Minhu returned home to know about this and tried his best to refuse. The old lady was so angry that she severely reprimanded Min Shangshu and Mrs. Min, and her health was even worse, so she terminated the family affair. The wound on Min Hu's forehead was caused by Min Shangshu beating him with a tea bowl......
"The eldest lady was really nice before, gentle and virtuous, not only good to me, but also to my younger brothers and sisters. Just because you didn't give birth to your own children, you became like this? Actually, I've always been reluctant to make her sad and don't want to openly turn against her......"
Mindo muttered, he really couldn't see the strong and unreasonable woman now as the gentle woman before.
Xu Lanyin thinks that twenty-six years old is the golden age for a woman to have a child, and if Mrs. Min can't give birth to a child, it shouldn't be too old, but it should be infertility caused by drinking too much shunzi soup.
She said, "Mrs. Min did this, is it because she can't give birth to a child, and she attributes the reason for not being able to have a child to Lord Min, so she is resentful and doesn't want you to have a good life?" From this point of view, it should be true that your wife said that she was mistreated and framed by Mrs. Min before her death. If this is the case, even if her niece and niece marry you, they may not be able to have a good life, and they will definitely make your husband and wife discordant. She doesn't want to rappa her brother and sister, but because those girls are not from a good family, she is better able to handle and use them better against you. ”
Min Hu had thought about it more than once before, and after thinking about it halfway, he quickly suppressed this thought, he really had the impression that there was too much love and care for him by Mrs. Min when he was young. He prefers to believe that Mrs. Min is meddling in his marriage because she wants to promote her mother's siblings. For Min Jia, it was because An Shi did that ugly thing and took his anger out on the child.
Now listening to Xu Lanyin say it directly, he has to look directly at this problem. He also had to admit that this was more likely. Perhaps, An's was mistreated by his mother-in-law and his husband didn't understand, so he had an external heart......
Xu Lanyin also said, "It is sympathetic for Mrs. Min that she did not give birth to a child, but it is not a reason for her to frame her stepson and daughter-in-law, mutilate Jia'er, and hinder the happiness of Lord Min in the second half of her life." Not only is it not wrong for Lord Min to openly turn against her, but it is also the responsibility that a father and a man should have. ”
Min Hu Chang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Miss Xu doesn't think that I don't remember my feelings and my approach is inappropriate?" ”
Don't remember feelings, don't remember gratitude, these are the words that Mrs. Min has accused Min Hu many times.
"Of course not." Xu Lanyin said, "Mrs. Min is a concubine, and if she can be your stepmother, Mrs. Wen has made a great effort, and she must have something to explain." It is the condition for Mrs. Wen to be good to you, and she also got what she deserved. For example, your dependence and affection for her, and the respect of your elders for her...... It's a pity that she tossed all these most precious things. Perhaps, if you understood your wife a little and helped her, she would not have died of illness at a young age. ”
Xu Lanyin brought the topic to An's again. Of course, she couldn't say that she knew that An committed suicide, but used the official news - died of illness.
Min Hu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and then said with difficulty, "I've always wanted to tell Miss Xu something, but I feel ashamed to say it." That's all for today. ”
His face turned red unconsciously.
Seeing Xu Lanyin looking at him calmly, he said, "This is the ugly thing of our Min family. An's her, she had an affair with her cousin, and when she and her cousin were hugging each other in the bamboo forest that day, they happened to be bumped into and called out by two girls and Jia'er and her nurse, and the eldest lady and others not far away rushed over. An's was so embarrassed and indignant that he hanged himself when he returned to the house. ”
He finished talking about the ugly things with difficulty, his face flushed, and his clenched fist smashed the coffee table, and the tea on the table jumped and overflowed a few drops of water.
It turned out that there were still witnesses, and Min Jia actually saw it.
Perhaps, An's is because of her mother-in-law's mistreatment and her husband's indifference. Perhaps, it is not called an external heart, but the heart is too helpless and sad, looking for a little comfort, just a hug and a comfort. In previous lives, a comforting hug from the opposite sex with whom the relationship was good was common, but not in ancient times.
Xu Lanyin said, "Actually, what some eyes see is not the truth. Lord Min is in charge of solving cases, and there will be this kind of thing, right? ”
Min Hu felt that Xu Lanyin was looking for a step for himself.
He smiled wryly and said, "Jia'er hasn't said a word because of that. At first, I would let go of my voice and cry, but then I didn't even cry, and then I didn't laugh, didn't cry, and didn't have any expression on my face, as if I was stupid. It's only after getting along with you that I gradually changed...... Mrs. Min is not kind to Jia'er, and other family members will not have any cooperation because of An's relationship. In this way, can Miss Xu completely untie Jia'er's heart knot? Don't worry, I have reached an agreement with my grandmother that before Jia'er gets married, I will try my best to be an official outside the home, and give her a happy and relaxed environment, and she doesn't need to go back to the house to be stimulated......"
