Volume 1 Crossing Chapter 17 Inquiry
The second aunt is deeply favored by Lan Peng, so as the daughter of the second aunt, even if she is a concubine, Lan Chunyu is also very favored by Lan Peng.
Lan Chunyu seemed to be really embarrassed, and said in a tangled way: "Yu'er wants to ask her father, my sister is about to get married, is it about to get married?" ”
"Yu'er, this is not something you should care about." Lan Peng suddenly said sternly.
Even if Lan Chunyu is favored again, how can a concubine have no right to ask about her daughter-in-law, Lan Peng is still very clear about this.
She was stunned for a moment, Lan Peng rarely spoke to herself like this. She couldn't help but flinch a little, and suddenly a voice in her heart said: I can't retreat, if Lan Lingxue is not removed, I will always be crushed by her, only if Lan Lingxue is not in the Lan family, I can come out.
Taking a deep breath, Lan Chunyu plucked up the courage and said, "Yu'er knows that this matter is not something that Yu'er can say, but Yu'er really feels sorry for her sister and her husband all day long. That's why I came to ask my father to marry my sister and husband as soon as possible, so that my sister didn't have to go to see my husband in private. ”
After listening to Lan Chunyu, a trace of joy flashed in Lan Peng's eyes, but Lan Chunyu lowered his head and didn't notice it.
"You said that Cher often secretly goes to see Mr. in private?"
Thinking that Lan Peng would be unhappy that Lan Lingxue was unruly when she heard this, she hurriedly added fire.
"Yes, I dragged Yu'er to go for the first few days, and after that, let Yu'er find an excuse to leave first. Yu'er is willing to cover for her sister and husband in order to get along with her husband in private. ”
What Yu'er said is not bad with what Lan Ping said before, but this is not enough to prove that Xue'er and Chi Xin had a private meeting, and there must be evidence. Lan Peng thought of this, and asked Lan Chunyu again:
"How do you know that Xue'er didn't ask Mr. for teaching, after all, Mr. is Xue'er's teacher. If you don't have evidence, you can't slander Cher and her husband's reputation. ”
As soon as she heard the evidence, she remembered the mahogany box that Fang Cai Chixin gave to Lan Lingxue, wasn't that the best evidence.
"Father, what I said today is true, and today I also saw my husband give my sister a token of love. Father, it's not easy for my sister, so you can fulfill my sister and husband! ”
She burst into tears, but Lan Peng couldn't hide her excitement.
Lan Ping, who had been listening, lowered his head and didn't make any movement until this moment, just looked at the eyes of the original ground, glanced at Lan Chunyu without a trace, and sneered in his heart: A concubine is a concubine, and he wants to frame his concubine in this way. The head of the family is also confused, and he even believes this kind of thing.
When Lan Peng heard Lan Ping talk about this time before, he thought that if Chi Xin could really take a fancy to one of his daughters, then he would be a big backer. Unexpectedly, I really let myself get my wish.
He waved his hand to let Lan Chunyu retreat, this matter had to be planned well.
Didn't get the desired result, how could Lan Chunyu be willing to leave like this, she knelt down with a plop and looked up at Lan Peng. Tears in his eyes said: "Father, please don't blame your sister, and please fulfill your sister, Yu'er really can't bear to see her sister suffer from longing!" ”
Taken aback by Lan Chunyu, he reached out to help Lan Chunyu up: "What is Yu'er talking about, when did I say that I blame your sister, if Xue'er and Mr. are really affectionate and righteous, how can my father be willing to beat the mandarin ducks?" It's just that I have to ask your sister and husband about this, so you can go back first! ”
Standing up, Lan Chunyu sobbed and said, "Then my father must fulfill my sister's wishes, and I must not make my sister sad." The rain retreated first. ”
After Lan Chunyu left, Lan Peng's eyes flashed, and he said to Lan Ping: "How much do you think what Yu'er said is true?" ”
Lan Ping's face was calm, as if he already had an answer to this matter in his heart, and only said, "This subordinate doesn't know!" ”
Lan Peng, who was on the rise, didn't care that there was anything wrong with Lan Ping, and asked Lan Ping to call Lan Lingxue and Chi Xin, he wanted to make sure in person.
Lan Lingxue heard that her father asked her to go to the study, and she was curious, her father rarely let herself go to his study, and she went to the few times, and she was also greedy for fun, how could she let herself go to his study today.
She didn't think much about it, and passed over with the small bridge. What is the matter, you will find out when you go.
When she arrived at the study, she found that Chi Xin was still sitting on the top in the study, Lan Lingxue bowed, and Lan Peng asked her to sit down on the side first.
Chi Xin had just arrived, but when he saw Lan Lingxue also coming, he was curious and looked at Lan Peng.
"Patriarch Lan, what's the matter?"
Lan Peng laughed, and was embarrassed to speak, how could he directly ask others if they were in love with their daughter? But this man has been invited, and he can't do without speaking. Simply, as soon as I hardened my head, I asked directly.
"Lan invited Mr. to come today, and there is indeed something I want to ask Mr. to explain."
As he spoke, he glanced at Chi Xin, looked at Chi Xin's questioning eyes, and continued: "Listening to Yu'er, Mr. has been very close to Xue'er and Yu'er in the past few days. ”
"Yes, Xue'er is my student, is there any problem?" Chi Xin was puzzled, what did Lan Peng want to say? Does he not want me to get too close to Cher, for fear of affecting the reputation of other little girls?
Seeing Chi Xin's affirmative answer, Lan Peng asked tentatively: "I don't know what Mr. has of the little girl?" ”
Hearing this, Lan Lingxue also glanced at Lan Peng strangely. What happened to my father today? How to talk babblingly, inexplicable.
Chi Xin glanced at Lan Lingxue and chuckled: "Xue'er is very smart!" ”
Hearing Chi Xin praise Lan Lingxue like this, Lan Peng was very happy! can be praised by Chixin, how many people are there on this Qingjie Continent. It seems that what Yu'er said is still true.
"Since Mr. thinks so highly of Xue'er, I don't know what to do with Xue'er?"
When Lan Ping heard this, he thought to himself: The head of this family is usually very shrewd, why is he so confused today. Didn't he see that Chi Xin didn't understand what she said at all? Hey, I'm afraid I'm going to make a joke in a while.
Lan Lingxue became more and more curious, what did her father say? Does my father still want my husband to continue teaching me? However, the gentleman only said that he played the flute, and I didn't hear anything else that he would.
Huan is as smart as Chi Xin, and he doesn't understand what Lan Peng means at this moment.
"What does Patriarch Lan mean by this, why can't I understand it? Cher has learned the flute very well, and I have taught everything I can. ”
Lan Peng was also very anxious, he didn't understand anything after talking for a long time, he was still pretending to be confused. Forget it, I'll just show this old face and ask directly.
"I mean, since Mr. and Xue'er are in love, Xue'er is about to meet, if Mr. is willing, you can book the family affairs first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Lingxue was first surprised: "Father, what are you talking about?" ”
Chi Xin's expression was cold, this Lan Peng was too whimsical. It wasn't until this moment that Chi Xin understood what Lan Peng's idea was, and he actually wanted to use his daughter as a bargaining chip to have a relationship with me.
In fact, even if he doesn't say anything, just with the days I've lived here, and the teacher-student relationship with Xue'er, if he has something, I will naturally not sit idly by. Unexpectedly, Lan Peng's ambitions are more than these.
At this moment, Lan Peng saw that Chi Xin was unhappy, could it really be that he had misunderstood? But Yu'er said it so surely. By the way, and Cher, is it Cher's unrequited love?
He turned to look at Lan Lingxue: "Xue'er, Yu'er said that you have affection for Mr., but is it true?" ”
Lan Lingxue's face turned red, but she was not shy, but anxious: "Father, what did you say?" Cher has nothing but respect for her husband. Isn't it that Sister Yu has always loved Mr., so she dragged me to Mr. all day long? ”
"What? Rain? What the hell is going on? Yu'er said that you ...... to Mr" Lan Peng turned his head and saw Chi Xin's cold eyes, and he couldn't say the words later.
"She also begged me to fulfill you, and said that you even have a token of love. Isn't it? ”
He's completely messed up at this point, who is telling the truth? By the way, Yu'er, just call Yu'er and ask.
"Lan Ping, you go and call Yu'er to ask clearly, don't misunderstand Mr."
Lan Ping should be, turned around and went out.
After a while, Lan Chunyu came in.
As soon as she came in, she saw Chi Xin sitting on the main seat, but now she was not allowed to think about it, she couldn't think of Chi Xin's true identity.
Seeing that Lan Chunyu was coming, Lan Peng hurriedly asked: "Yu'er, you just said that your sister and husband are in love, but is it true?" ”
I thought that Lan Peng came over because of this matter, and he already had a plan to deal with it.
"A few days ago, Yu'er and her sister went to Mr., my sister always spent a while alone with Mr. Yu'er happened to pass by the peach blossom forest and saw Mr. give my sister this mahogany box. Moreover, a few days ago, I asked my husband if he was in love with his sister, and he did not deny it. ”
Hearing Lan Chunyu say this, Lan Peng felt a little comforted in his heart, saying this, it is not a misunderstanding!
He looked at Chi Xin, but before Chi Xin could speak, Lan Lingxue said first: "Sister Yu, are you wrong, you happily let me accompany you to find Mr. all day long, and often ask me about Mr. ”
Lan Chunyu looked at Lan Lingxue and said aggrievedly: "My sister must be afraid that my father will blame me for saying this, my sister is relieved that my sister has asked my father, and I hope he must agree to my sister." Sister don't worry, although you say your heart to your father, I believe that with my father's love for my sister, I will definitely agree to my sister, although Mr. identity and sister do not match, but as long as Mr. is good to my sister, it is enough. ”
Hearing this, Lan Ping glanced at Lan Chunyu, and finally knew what Lan Chunyu's intention was when she said this today, it turned out that she wanted the eldest lady to marry an ordinary husband, but she couldn't imagine that this Chixin's identity was more than just noble.
Lan Lingxue listened to her true feelings, and probably understood: "No, my sister must have misunderstood, I always thought it was you who admired Mr., it seems that we all want to be wrong." ”
Hearing this, what else did Lan Chunyu not understand, his heart was completely messy, Lan Lingxue had no intention of Mr.? She had always been wrong, how could she not like her husband?
Lan Peng probably understood now, neither of the two daughters had any intention of Chi Xin. The hope that had just risen in my heart was completely shattered.
Lan Chunyu suddenly thought of asking Mr. if she was interested in Lan Lingxue, but Mr. did not deny it, she opened her mouth unwillingly and looked at Chi Xin: "But, isn't Mr. affectionate towards his sister?" ”
