Chapter 044: Retirement
"yes." Mother Zhong nodded, "I look at the Ji family, this time I am determined to punish the eldest wife." β
Wang Ruolan laughed angrily, "It's not a pity to die for such a person." β
As long as she thought of Ji and Pei Jiao setting up a plot to frame Gu Yaolian, she was so angry that she couldn't wait to draw her sword and cut Ji and Pei Jiao, and break their bodies into thousands of pieces.
Chen Laosi didn't want to say anything a few days ago, but later because Yuan Twelve found his wife and children, he recruited everything.
It turned out that Chen Laosi's wife and children were seriously ill and needed a large sum of silver. In order to save enough money, he will act for the Ji family with a clear conscience.
It's just that Chen Laosi can't bear to tarnish/defile Pei Jiao, who is the same age as his daughter, so he just ruined Pei Jiao's appearance, thinking that a daughter's family was seen naked and disfigured, at least one life could be left.
It was also because Chen Laosi still had a little kindness left in his heart, so Pei Yu sent Chen Laosi into the cell, but he also saved Chen Laosi's wife and children and placed them in Zhuangzi.
Gu Yaolian knew very well that the Ji family would give up the Ji family, but he didn't expect the Ji family to want to end the Ji family's life so quickly, just like the Ji family was not the daughter of the Ji family at all.
The Ji family does this? What is the purpose? She thought about it, but she didn't have a clue.
"Mrs. Jiang and the second son are here." After Mother Zhong comforted the Ji family, she passed it on, "The third wife of the Jiang family said that she wanted to talk to you about herself. β
Wang Ruolan nodded and asked Gu Yaolian to go back to Chang'an Courtyard to rest first.
As soon as Gu Yaolian left, Mother Zhong said, "Madam, this thing is actually not easy to do!" β
"Although Mama Lan won't spread the word, I'm afraid that Mrs. Jiang San won't mention this family matter again."
"If this family business doesn't work, forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet." Although Wang Ruolan felt that it was a pity to have this family affair, she also tried to talk to Gu Yaolian in private.
Gu Yaolian didn't mind, and trusted her very much, and told her that she hoped that her husband in Japan would be as good as her uncle.
Wang Ruolan smacked her tongue, thinking in her heart where Jiang Wensheng could compare with Pei Yu?
She doted on Gu Yaolian, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Yaolian saying this.
"Anyway, I don't look down on this kid of the Jiang family." Wang Ruolan stood up, "You let Shen Xi in." β
"I won't embarrass her, she's a pathetic person."
This time Shen Xi came to see Wang Ruolan, it was indeed to apologize and to retract her previous words, in order to show sincerity, she also specially brought Jiang Wensheng, saying that she wanted Jiang Wensheng to be Wang Ruolan's righteous son.
Two families can't get married, but they can't make enemies either.
Jiang Wensheng is considered to be the most top-notch among the juniors of the Jiang family, and he must have a bright future in the future.
Although Shen Xi wanted Pei Yu to help Jiang Wensheng, he hoped that Jiang Wensheng would remember Wang Ruolan's goodness and be more filial to Wang Ruolan's stepmother in the future.
As a result, Jiang Wensheng, who has always been well-behaved, did not agree to call Wang Ruolan a stepmother, and Wang Ruolan did not force him, and said with a smile, "I watched this child grow up, and I know his character best." β
"Even if I'm not his stepmother, if I need his help in the future, he will definitely not say a word." Wang Ruolan waited for Jiang Wensheng to go out before saying to Shen Xi, "I also know that since your husband died, your life in the Jiang family has been very difficult. When you proposed this family business, the old ladies and concubines in the family were afraid that they would also feel sorry for you. β
"But under pressure, you said that you must let your brother marry a virtuous and courteous wife. I know that although you like to pity girls, you are more thinking about the relationship between our sisters in the past. You want me to live comfortably, and no longer worry about my sister's family affairs. β
"I know, I know." Wang Ruolan held Shen Xi's hand, "Don't feel embarrassed, anyway, I didn't nod my head about this family business, I just didn't mention it." β
"In the future, we don't have to be unfamiliar with each other, I like to talk to you, you can come to see me more and accompany me to relieve my boredom."
Although Mama Lan is Shen Xi's personal old mother, she has also served Mrs. Shen.
Shen Xi didn't agree to quit her family, but who knew that Mama Lan told the old lady of the Shen family about it, and the angry old lady Shen personally came to the door to scold Shen Xi for being selfish.
Mrs. Shen said that the Shen family was a scholarly family, how could she tolerate an outstanding grandson marrying a woman who had a lax family style and would lose her reputation in the future?
Shen Xi was persuaded by Mama Lan and reprimanded by Mrs. Shen, she was under too much pressure.
"I'm sorry." Even if Shen Xi wiped rouge, he still couldn't hide the haggard face. Her eyes were red and swollen, "Sister, you know, I really like to pity my sister." β
"Don't talk about it again. If you are afraid of misunderstanding, you will say to the outside world that the third master likes to give birth to a brother, and occasionally comes to him to talk about poetry. Wang Ruolan sighed, "In this way, no one will gossip." β
Wang Ruolan's thoughtfulness made Shen Xi feel even more guilty, she finally couldn't hold back and cried in front of Wang Ruolan.
At that time, Jiang Wensheng rushed to the outside of Chang'an Courtyard desperately.
Because there were maids and mothers-in-law outside the hospital, he didn't see Gu Yaolian as smoothly as last time.
When Xiangwei heard this, she stomped her feet angrily, "What does this Jiang family mean?" also said that the generations of scholars are fragrant, and the sons of the family are so ignorant of the rules. β
"Don't see him, girl. Then the slave and maid went to find the twelve and sent him away, so that he would not be standing outside the courtyard all the time and cause people to criticize him. β
"I'll go." Gu Yaolian doesn't like to drag mud and water, and he didn't refuse Jiang Wensheng last time, because he didn't want to hurt the feelings of Wang Ruolan and Shen Xi. Now that the Jiang family has taken the initiative to give up this family business, she doesn't want Jiang Wensheng to change Shen Xi's mind again.
As soon as Jiang Wensheng saw Gu Yaolian, he hurriedly said, "Sister, listen to me, I won't agree to my mother, I ...... I...... I have you in my heart. β
"Jiang Gongzi said cautiously." Gu Yaolian frowned, and waited for the little maids to retreat before saying, "You should listen to Mrs. Shen's words carefully, she is really for your good." β
"If she's really for my good? How could you give up this family business? Jiang Wensheng lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you really not have me in your heart?" β
Gu Yao smacked her tongue pitifully, she had never had Jiang Wensheng in her heart in her two lives, "No." β
"In the world, it is not only the love of men and women that is called liking." Gu Yaolian said, "If Jiang Gongzi really has me in his heart, don't come to see me again." β
After Gu Yaolian finished speaking, he turned around and beckoned Yuan Twelve to personally send Jiang Wensheng away.
Jiang Wensheng was stunned by Gu Yaolian's 'no', and when he wanted to speak, he saw Gu Yaolian walking in another direction.
If he guessed correctly, Gu Yaolian should go to Pei Yu's study.
Pei Yu is quiet, he has no way to catch up, and then stay outside Pei Yu's study like he is outside the Chang'an Courtyard, and then explain it to Gu Yao.
He didn't dare to anger Pei Yu.
Gu Yaolian walked fast, but as soon as she walked a few steps, she heard a faint dog barking.
"WangβWangβ"
She stopped and looked around.
Xiangming was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with the girl?" β
"There are voices." Gu Yaolian said, "It's the sound of a dog barking." β
"Nope." Xiangming explained, "Aunt Ren's squirrel dog doesn't come to our hospital. β
As soon as Xiang Ming's words fell, he saw a small orange meat dumpling rushing towards Gu Yaolian, making a "Wang" sound.
"Eleven?" Gu Yaolian was a little surprised, "Why are you here?" β
