Chapter 100: Interrogation
The apprehensive Du Yuexian was cautiously glancing at Ran Linzong, she was speculating about Ran Linzong's mood at the moment with extremely complicated feelings, racking her brains to think about how to answer his question. But Ran Linzong didn't seem to care what she was thinking, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Can you tell me, why did you go to the Blue Mansion to propose?" ”
The tone was extremely soft, as if it were a kind of care between lovers. Du Yuexian raised her head in surprise, she looked at Ran Linzong, and when her anxious gaze met Ran Linzong's sharp look, Du Yuexian knew that she was wrong. This is not concern and greetings, this is the calm before the storm, this is the temporary calm before the storm!
Du Yuexian's brain was running rapidly, she wanted to find a suitable excuse, she wanted to find a perfect reason, but just when her heart was beating wildly, she heard a voice that made her almost desperate, "If you think that I, Ran Linzong, am a fool and a good bully, then please tell me some high-sounding reasons." If not, it's better to tell me the truth obediently! ”
Du Yuexian suddenly stirred, she held her breath and looked at Ran Linzong, the man who had shared a bed with her and gave birth to two children for him suddenly became extremely strange. She looked up to meet his gaze, and found that there was not only seriousness but a slight displeasure in it, and indeed he had warned her that he would indulge her if she did not go too far.
However, people seem to be easily carried away, and when they tried to touch Ran Linzong's bottom line one after another and found that they were always safe, Du Yuexian also turned Ran Linzong's sutra into a deaf ear. Now it seems that it is still not possible to get carried away.
Du Yuexian was rarely well-behaved and submissive, she pinched her clothes like a child who had made a mistake and was questioned by her parents, and bit her lip with her teeth from time to time. Hesitating, apprehensive, uneasy, hesitating, Du Yuexian felt like a year in a minute and a second, when the four eyes looked at each other and found that Ran Linzong was a little impatient, Du Yuexian was still defeated after all, she knew that everything about herself was nothing more than a fox and a fake tiger, what people cared about was the man behind her Du Yuexian, and what she was afraid of was the same.
"For the Du family!" This is Du Yuexian's most honest answer, and it is also the most honest answer.
Indeed, it is for the Du family, to be precise, for Du Shifan, who caused trouble, if it were not for Du Shifan who indirectly killed Zhong Shiwei's daughter Zhong Mu'er, her Du family would not have made a feud with the Zhong family, and if she did not make a feud, Du Yuexian would not take the initiative to send the news of Xiao Zheng's return to the capital, and at the cost of promising not to fall into the well, she would be consistent with the Zhong family. If it weren't for the Du family, she wouldn't have brazenly taken the initiative to greet her, and took the initiative to make friends with the Lan family to get greater protection!
But is it really wrong for his mother's family? Is it really unforgivable even if there is a little bit of selfishness? If...... If he Ran Linzong treats himself sincerely and gives himself safety, how can she, Du Yuexian, defend her mother's comfort zone like this?
In Du Yuexian's view, she is not only safeguarding the interests of the Du family, but also her guarantee. She knew her weight in Ran Linzong's heart, and she was also very aware of her status in the Ran family. Everything is not at all as magnificent as it seems to outsiders, and her carefully stacked prestige is just an illusory bubble. As long as he Ran Linzong moved a finger slightly, everything would collapse. And will Ran Linzong move this finger? Du Yuexian didn't have the slightest grasp in her heart.
Du Yuexian is like a mole who is planning ahead, trying hard to repair her comfort nest into a sturdy edifice, it can not be so long, it is only enough for her to enjoy this life!
Perhaps, there is nothing wrong with this thinking, and no one wants to survive in an insecure home. But Du Yuexian's mistake was that she was looking in the wrong direction, maybe she didn't think that Ran Linzong was her direction at all.
Ran Linzong glanced at Du Yuexian contemptuously, and he also seemed to feel that Du Yuexian was very strange. The strange Buddha is not as good as the women he saw for the first time in the place of wind and snow. He knew that she was a person who forgot her righteousness. The reason why he married her back then may have a lot to do with her forgetfulness of profit.
It's not that Ran Linzong masochistically hopes to find such a wife, it's just that in his heart, his emotions have been sharply reduced with the departure of his first wife, and the only little remnant has been lost with the loss of his daughter. This kind of Du Yuexian is very in line with his characteristics, he doesn't need to pay too much emotion, as long as he gives material comfort, everything can go naturally.
Therefore, Ran Linzong was not disgusted with Du Yuexian's detached way of getting along with husband and wife. However, Ran Linzong's investment also needs to have a boundary, when blindly mentioning it can't change the Du family's parasite-like lifestyle at all, no one can say it frankly, I'm as happy as I am!
Now Ran Linzong has such an antipathy, Du Shifan's stirring up, the Du family's complacency, and the deteriorating reputation of the Du family in the capital makes Ran Linzong have a sense of guilt, he feels that the Du family can be so domineering, and he Ran Linzong also has an unshirkable responsibility.
At this time, Du Yuexian was saying that he was for the Du family, which aroused the nameless fire in Ran Linzong's heart, he angrily looked at Du Yuexian, and said coldly, "For the Du family!" Do you think that after so many years, my Ran Linzong has still treated the Du family badly? You don't hesitate to abandon the face of my Ran family, as well as the dignity of my Ran Lin Sect? Ran Linzong's words were loud, and every word was like a boulder smashed into Du Yuexian's heart.
Then there was a "bang", and a celadon ornament was smashed by Ran Linzong, and the emerald green celadon fragments burst out on the ground with many beautiful flowers. This crisp voice scared Du Yuexian to tremble, and also scared Xiao Cui and the others who were waiting outside into a ghost. It's been more than ten years since they came to the house, and few people have seen their master be so angry!
Ran Linzong is indeed in a hurry, he has been a low-key person and serious in his work for so many years, and he never likes to show off in front of everyone, but he is a lady, and he can be said to be out of the limelight everywhere under his banner. thought that she could get by with one eye open and one eye closed, but who knows, she actually has to make inches!
Ran Linzong couldn't forget the wind and rain in the city back then, and regretted that he didn't see the true face of the Du family back then. For so many years, if it weren't for the fact that his heart was dead, he Ran Lin Sect would have taken this Du Yue Immortal away thousands of times. But looking at the two lively and lovely children under his knees, Ran Linzong's hard heart softened.
"No, master, I didn't embarrass the master, I didn't disregard the face of the Ran family! I don't, sir, I really don't! Du Yuexian almost stumbled in front of Ran Linzong, her tears were like rain, she couldn't cry, she grabbed the bottom of Ran Linzong's middle coat and shook it violently, hoping to get a trace of forgiveness from this person's mouth.
Ran Linzong looked at the person in front of him blankly, her crying, her laughter, her ugliness, her beauty, it seemed that everything had nothing to do with him personally, and he couldn't arouse any sense of pity and pity. It's just that, as the head of the Ran Mansion, it is necessary for him to teach the people who are out of line.
Du Yuexian is such an existence.
Du Yuexian sobbed lowly, she was really scared. She never understood Ran Linzong's temper, and he didn't give her a chance to understand. The so-called perfect couple who raised the case back then had already disappeared with the departure of that exquisite man, and no one in the house did not understand her situation, and she Du Yuexian knew it well.
Du Yuexian is not a fool, nor is he a person with slow perception. She knows everything, but what about that? This is the birthplace of her glory and wealth, and it is also a refuge that she will not give up easily in this life. There is her enjoyment, her children, and her capital to show off. She covets these beautiful things, even if she puts her life in exchange for them!
At this moment, Ran Linzong is powerful, in Du Yuexian's opinion, this is not a simple husband and wife quarrel, this may be the prelude to ending her happy life. So, there's no reason why she shouldn't be worried, there's no reason why she shouldn't be afraid!
"I'm going to say goodbye to Xi'er, which is what my brother meant. What does that kid look like, I don't need to say more, you also know it, master. Presumably, it is impossible for the Du family to expect him to shine on the lintel, so the elder brother had to pin his hopes on Xi'er. Looking at the capital, the only person who can reassure my brother is Lan Yi of the Lan family. In terms of net worth and reputation in this capital, Lan Yi is impeccable. What's more, my brother and Lan Hongda had some friendship back then. But after all, it was me who made the mistake back then, as the saying goes, the bell must be tied to the bell, so ......" Du Yuexian cried and complained, Ran Linzong looked at it and listened, he suddenly felt very ridiculous, this world is surprisingly big, but this one turned around, but only to find that it seemed to be surprisingly small.
"I heard that you also found a master outside the world and asked for an antidote to cracking the poison Gu?" Ran Linzong didn't hear Du Yuexian's explanation, in a word, the crying Du Yuexian was completely dumbfounded, her half-sitting body on the ground completely lost her support, and collapsed there in decadence.
If you can tell the truth about going to the Blue Mansion to ask for relatives, then this matter is ...... Du Yuexian had forgotten to cry, and she didn't know how to defend herself, she just looked at Ran Linzong blankly.
"Madame, why is that? If I can find a master outside the world and crack the poison Gu, shouldn't I say hello to my wife? Perhaps, I should also go and meet that worldly master, and thank him with a lot of money, right? Why is Madame so alarmed? Ran Linzong glanced at Du Yuexian, in fact, her every move was completely in his eyes.
