Chapter 157: Missed
Wang Ruofu looked like he didn't belong to the gods, and turned a deaf ear to the conversation between Mrs. Wang and Xie Yanhe.
Old Madam Wang frowned secretly, and said in a deep voice: "Ruofu, why are you so rude today? ”
Old Madam Wang's tone was not heavy, but Wang Ruofu subconsciously trembled, and a shallow smile appeared on her somewhat pale face, but this smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. "County Lord, I'm distracted, and I ask the county lord not to worry about me."
Xie Yanhe pursed his lips and smiled, his naturally upturned eyes revealed a trace of tenderness, and his sparkling eyes were full of urgency: "Look at what Sister Ruofu said, am I such a stingy person in your heart?" ”
Wang Ruofu gave birth to a delicate heart in the past, and his treatment of people and things is like a spring breeze. But now, she is like a puppet with a string, and her whole person is full of stagnation and stiffness.
Wang Ruofu smiled reluctantly: "The county lord said that he was joking. ”
Xie Yanhe raised his eyebrows, this Wang Ruofu is too ignorant to lift up. He gave her steps several times, but Wang Ruofu was indifferent, is the Wang family planning to tear his face with himself?
Xie Yan and Dai frowned, and said leisurely: "Old lady, this flower has also been appreciated, and the time is not early, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”
"The county lord stays!" Old Madam Wang threw an angry look at her eldest granddaughter, then got up from the stone bench and bowed slowly to Xie Yanhe: "County lord, I really don't hide it, the old man invited the county lord to be a guest today because he had something to ask for." ”
Xie Yanhe's face did not change and accepted the gift of Mrs. Wang, her red lips were slightly curled, the streamer in her peach blossom eyes flashed, and she said slowly: "Old lady may wish to say your request first, it's not a matter, I can help." ”
The coldness in Xie Yanhe's words made Old Madam Wang's face stiffen, and immediately, Old Madam Wang's face showed a thick wry smile, and she said with a dejected face: "The county lord, they are all the granddaughters of the old body, which makes the old body break his heart. Now the ladies who are the same age as her are married to women, and the old body originally planned to marry her to a good family, but it's a pity that ......"
"Old lady." Xie Yanhe interrupted Mrs. Wang's words unhurriedly, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and the corners of her upturned lips revealed a bit of ridicule: "I'm a woman who hasn't left the cabinet, it's not appropriate for the old lady to talk about marriage in front of me, right?" ”
Old Madam Wang seemed to be stuck in her throat by Xie Yanhe's attitude, and coughed violently a few times. Seeing this, Wang Ruofu and Wang Wanrong saw this, and the two sisters helped Mrs. Wang to smooth her breath, and the other fed Mrs. Wang water, and it took a while to stop.
Wang Wanrong's gaze at Xie Yanhe was not surprised, but a little more blameful, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Yonghe County Lord, grandmother, she is old, even if you look at your aunt's face, you shouldn't contradict her old man." ”
"Wanrong, you shut up for me!" Old Madam Wang's face turned red, and she reprimanded angrily: "Don't make amends to the county lord of Yonghe." ”
"Grandmother!" Wang Wanrong stomped her feet, but under the unquestionable eyes of Mrs. Wang, she could only endure the grievances in her heart, and reluctantly apologized to Xie Yanhe: "County Lord, I'm sorry, it's all my words." In the last sentence, the girl's expression was already full of tears, and even the end note brought out a touch of choking.
Xie Yanhe really didn't expect that the first person to attack himself was an innocent little girl.
Although Xie Yanhe had a good impression of Wang Wanrong, Wang Wanrong took the initiative to provoke first, and Xie Yanhe would never let a little girl bully him.
For Wang Wanrong's apology, Xie Yanhe not only did not accept it, but got up directly from the stone bench, her eyes fell lightly on the ancestors of the Wang family, her eyes drooped slightly, and she said slowly: "If it weren't for giving my sister-in-law face, do you think I would be at the door of your Wang family today?" Seeing the wind turning the rudder and the treacherous villain, I have always been ashamed to be with you! ”
Xie Yanhe's words did not show any mercy to the Wang family.
Mrs. Wang's face was flushed, and she only felt that she had lost most of her life's face today. But every sentence of the county lord of Yonghe was a fact, so she couldn't refute a word. What makes Mrs. Wang even more sad is that even the life of the eldest granddaughter is tied to the thought of the county lord of Yonghe.
"The county lord stays." Mrs. Wang endured the sourness in her heart and called Xie Yanhe, she knelt on the ground tremblingly: "County lord, it was the Wang family who failed the Xie family back then, and the old body knew that it was useless to say anything now, and the old body was ashamed......"
Xie Yanhe looked at the old man's slightly rickety figure, and her eyes with fine lines at the corners of her eyes were very similar to her sister-in-law, she couldn't help but feel a little compassionate, sighed lightly, and said softly: "Old lady, I said, let the past pass." ”
Xie Yanhe motioned to Cherry to help Mrs. Wang up, but she never said the word "forgive".
In the past, the person who was hurt the most was his sister-in-law, and he was not qualified to forgive her.
If the sister-in-law is still willing to rebuild the old friendship with the Wang family, then Xie Yanhe will choose to accept the Wang family even if she is very displeased with the Wang family; If the sister-in-law refuses to forgive the Wang family, Xie Yanhe will also stand firmly on his sister-in-law's side, even if in the eyes of the world, the crime of unfilial piety is extremely serious.
Mrs. Wang was restrained by the maid of the county lord of Yonghe, and suddenly felt that the strength of the maid's hand was ten thousand pounds, and she easily lifted her heavy body from the ground.
Old Madam Wang was stunned, but she didn't expect that even the maid beside the county lord of Yonghe was not a simple character.
"Old lady, you are the person that my sister-in-law respects the most. Sister-in-law is in my heart, just like my mother, for your sake, I will not be embarrassed by the Wang family. I also hope that you will not come to embarrass me at every turn. Xie Yanhe said lightly.
For Mrs. Wang's reliance on the old and selling the old, Xie Yanhe really felt bored. She thought, today's appearance in the Wang family, she must hide it from her sister-in-law, if her sister-in-law knows, how uncomfortable she will be.
Mrs. Wang has lived for most of her life, where is she not clear about the position of the county lord of Yonghe, and her heart is suddenly full of bitterness. In fact, she noticed from just now that if the county lord of Yonghe regards the Wang family as a good family, and his daughter is the eldest sister-in-law of the county lord of Yonghe, then Wanrong should also be honored as the aunt of the county lord of Yonghe.
But the county lord of Yonghe was a gentle sister, and he refused to call himself an aunt from beginning to end, so he was already able to explain the problem.
Mrs. Wang was upright all her life, otherwise she would not have taught a daughter like Wang Qingyun with a strong temperament, noble temperament but a soft heart, but unfortunately, Mrs. Wang married the wrong person. Her husband is a hypocrite who loves power and power, and even several sons have been taught badly by her husband.
Now Ruofu is like this again, Mrs. Wang feels sorry for this granddaughter, and she is desperate for the evening, and since the county lord of Yonghe entered the mansion, she began to test and compete openly and secretly, just to let her granddaughter achieve her wish.
But what Mrs. Wang didn't expect was that the lord of Yonghe County, who had always been known in the capital for his rudeness and domineering, was such a smart and transparent girl. Also, if the county lord of Yonghe is really as unbearable as rumored, how can he let his daughter treat him differently!
"County Lord, it's the old man who is not acting well, which makes you embarrassed." All kinds of tastes came to her heart, and Mrs. Wang's chest ached.
However, seeing the lost eldest granddaughter in the afterglow, Mrs. Wang's hesitation and struggle gradually turned into firmness, and she said with difficulty: "County Lord, the old man has a reluctant request: after you enter the palace, if there is a lack of someone to serve by your side, let Ruofu go to serve you tea and water, I don't know what the county thinks?" ”
Although Xie Yanhe had expected today's events, she didn't expect the Wang family to be so direct, her eyes widened, and she laughed horribly: "The old lady is not joking with me!" Lord Wang is the chief assistant of the dynasty. Let the eldest lady of your family be a slave, am I such a frivolous person in your heart? ”
Wang Ruofu suddenly raised his head and looked at Xie Yanhe's gaze very complicated. Her grandmother obviously didn't mean this, but she was misinterpreted by the county lord of Yonghe to let herself be a slave by her side, the county lord of Yonghe was so jealous, how could she be worthy of the position of the middle palace!
If it's your own...... If you sit in that position, you will definitely help Your Majesty take care of the harem, be generous, fulfill the responsibilities of the middle palace, and never let Your Majesty down!
Why?! Why is it that even the wise and martial majesty is fascinated by beauty?! Pretty in Pink, a hundred years later, she will just be a skeleton! And he has both ability and political integrity, and he is the most ideal candidate for daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law in the minds of all old ladies, why can't His Majesty see it!
Wang Ruofu's heart was sour, and his gaze at Xie Yanhe couldn't help but reveal a bit of jealousy and resentment that was difficult to hide!
"County Lord, Your Majesty's harem is empty so far. Since you have been elected as the middle palace, you should be an example of women in the world, virtuous and tactful, and respectful and prudent. For His Majesty, the concubines are widely selected, and the branches are scattered, so as to live up to the responsibility of the middle palace. ”
Wang Ruofu impulsively, poured out the words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, she stared at Xie Yanhe with burning eyes, with a little pleading, and said extremely respectfully: "County Lord, don't worry, after entering the palace, I will never compete with the county lord for favor." As long as...... As long as Your Majesty gives me a title......"
"Are you crazy?" Xie Yanhe's voice was extremely cold, her eyes were wide, and a pair of eyes as cold as snow looked back and forth on the body of the ancestor of the Wang family, her eyes were full of disdain.
"Old lady, is this the family style of your Wang family? But a woman who had not yet come out of the cabinet came to me, and offered herself a pillow with my future husband, and said crazy things that would not compete with me......"
Xie Yanhe snorted and said contemptuously: "Just by you, you still want to compete with me for favor?" Do you deserve it! Your Majesty has already made an oath in front of me, and I am the only one for the rest of my life, and if I violate this oath, the Wei family will not be protected......"
Xie Yan's flat tone was like a thunderclap exploding in the flat ground, making Old Madam Wang and the others dizzy.
Old Madam Wang suddenly seemed to be several years older, and her face crawling with fine lines became colorless. She looked at the county lord of Yonghe in front of her in disbelief, and there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, maybe the county lord of Yonghe was lying.
Wang Ruofu was even more mournful, she was stunned for a few breaths, and suddenly burst out with a piercing scream, and the whole person collapsed and shouted: "Impossible! No way! You must be lying to me! Your Majesty, he is a king, how can a king only guard one woman? I don't believe it! I don't believe it! ”
Wang Ruofu's expression was like a mad demon. Seeing this, Cherry and Basho hurriedly blocked in front of Xie Yanhe, and the two of them protected Xie Yanhe from wind and rain, always guarding against Wang Ruofu's sudden outburst.
"Old lady, is my granddaughter sick? You should find a royal doctor to treat her as soon as possible. Leave! Xie Yan curled his lips, and after saying this, he turned around and left without hesitation.
