Chapter 246: Relatives
After Wu Zhi left, Zheng Lingyi was still sitting in the same place, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a reason.
Zheng Changchang saw that Wu was gone, so she dared to come in. Yesterday, she felt embarrassed to make such a thing in front of her brother-in-law, and when she recalled it a little, she immediately curled up in embarrassment, and her face was red.
Zheng Lingyi only raised her eyes and glanced at her, and this glance made Zheng Changchang understand that her sister was still angry in her heart.
Last night, she honestly told everything about it, and Zheng Lingyi counted Mi Jiyue for a long time, saying that he seemed to be upright, but he was actually a prodigal in his bones.
It turned out that Zheng Changchang and him had met many times in private, and they kept it from each other like this.
Zheng Changchang was like a quail and let Zheng Lingyi reprimand, as soon as she heard the word prodigal, she argued a few words for Mi Jiyue with a loud urn, Zheng Lingyi smashed a teacup as soon as she raised her hand, so scared that Zheng Changchang didn't even dare to come out.
Still green and bold, relying on his love for growing up with the two sisters, said: "Madame, don't you know your own sister-in-law?" Where is Sister Chang'er the kind of girl's house, you don't know the Mi family, how can you do anything out of bounds? ”
"There is no such thing as being rude." Zheng Changchang said with red eyes.
Zheng Lingyi glanced at her and said, "Even if Mi Jiyue returned home, she immediately said to the Mi family that she wanted to marry you, and getting married is a big deal, Mrs. Mi must be asking in detail, where does this come from?" Is it just a few faces, so deep-rooted? If he is in the past, it will be fine, if he can't be rounded, and tell the two of you that the two of you once met in private, what kind of person do you think Mrs. Mi will think of as you? ”
Zheng Lingyi's words frightened Zheng Changchang, not because Zheng Lingyi was alarmist, but because what she said was precisely the most likely situation.
Zheng Changchang didn't want to cry so embarrassed, but tears are not something that can be held back. Zheng Ling thought that she cried like a tearful person, and she couldn't say any more, so she had to coax for a long time, until Zheng Changchang was tired of crying and fell asleep groggily.
When I got up this morning, the sisters didn't say anything when they ate together, and at this time, Zheng Changchang packed up her mind and took the initiative to show weakness.
Zheng Lingyi's anger was originally worried about her sister, where is the need for her to please her, just frowned and stared at her, sighed, and said: "I'm also confused, I don't remember that you are also a big girl now, you always have some ideas of your own, if it is a long sister and a short sister, wouldn't it become a wooden braincase?" ”
Zheng Changchang was touched by her sad look, and only felt very sad, and hurriedly said: "Even if I am seventy or eighty, I still think about my sister." It's just, it's just, I was a little dizzy when I met him, my sister said last night that what I said was right, and I didn't know what I was thinking. ”
"Love always has this effect." Zheng Lingyi's tone when he said this was like a pure-hearted old monk with few desires.
Zheng Changchang stared at her for a while, as if she had a question lingering in her heart for a long time, and said, "Sister, what about you and your brother-in-law?" What's going on? Is it just because he saved you? ”
Zheng Lingyi was a little stunned, she didn't say anything, but Lu Nong said quickly: "Naturally not!" ”
Zheng Lingyi looked at Lu Nong with wide eyes, and Lu Nong also blinked at her.
The master and servant stared at each other with wide eyes, and Zheng Changchang walked back and forth between the two of them, and said, "That? Be? ”
Zheng Lingyi didn't know how to answer for a while, so he put on the majesty of the eldest sister and said, "I'm discussing your matter now, and it's up to me what to do." ”
Zheng Changchang pouted a little unconvinced, and whispered: "Have you seen it a few times in private?" ”
Zheng Lingyi twisted her cheek, and didn't let go until Zheng Changchang screamed in pain, Zheng Lingyi's heart was inexplicably 'pounding', but his face pretended to be a little angry, and said: "I have met a few times, he saved me when I asked Lu Shiyu to go to the Fox Immortal Temple as a sacrifice, and he also saved me when I was left in the palace, but it is the same as yours?" ”
When Zheng Changchang heard this, she didn't care what she was talking about, and said hurriedly: "The incident in the Fox Immortal Temple, was my brother-in-law who saved you?" ”
Lu Nong was also very surprised, thinking about it carefully, but he felt that it was a mysterious fate.
Zheng Lingyi recalled the past, and then realized that she and Wu Punishment had been so deeply entangled so long ago, as if an indescribable force was pushing them together.
"In this way, my brother-in-law is really our real benefactor." Zheng Changchang muttered: "Isn't Gansong also because of his brother-in-law, so we met?" My aunt was also able to give birth to her younger brother safely because of the medicine of Jatamansi. ”
"yes." Zheng Lingyi said with emotion, "I still have no conscience, and I have never solemnly thanked him." ”
"Ma'am, this can't be done." Lu Nong said, "Husband and wife have to say thank you solemnly, it seems to be a lot of life." ”
Zheng Lingyi didn't expect this, she felt that when she was by Wu Punishment's side, she should be gentle and gentle, and she should be coquettish, which should not make him feel alienated.
When she thought of this, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything specifically, so she had to forget about it first.
"Ma'am." Lu Zhu walked in at this time, her face was a little bad, she glanced at Zheng Changchang first, then looked at Zheng Lingyi, and said, "Mrs. Mi Jia, I said that I want to invite you to tea." ”
Zheng Lingyi also glanced at Zheng Changchang, and saw that her face was pale, so he reached out and patted the back of her hand, and said to Luzhu: "I'm alone?" ”
Lu Zhu almost subconsciously shrank and said, "The maid who passed the word said that if you are a particular person, madam, you are naturally a guest and will not take people with you at will." ”
When Zheng Lingyi heard this, he knew that Mrs. Mi was angry, and she prepared words early to block her.
Zheng Changchang didn't cry, but she just had a white face and was silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
"I'll talk about it when I get back." Zheng Lingyi only said, got up and walked to Lu Nong's side, signaling her to take care of Zheng Changchang, and he went to Mi's house with Lu Zhu.
The mood of going to Mi's house today is naturally different from the past, Zheng Lingyi is a little nervous, she can guess Teng's current thoughts, knowing that she is dissatisfied, angry, and even feels betrayed.
If she can't handle this matter today, I'm afraid that not only will Zheng Changchang not be able to be with Mi Jiyue, but it will be difficult for her and Teng to get along again.
When Zheng Lingyi walked into Teng's tearoom, he had a calm face, but his heart was restless.
Teng's didn't hang her, she came soon, her eyes were blue and black, obviously Mi Jiyue couldn't bear it, and she came back last night and did all the tricks, so she didn't sleep well all night.
The two sat on the edge of the tea table, and were silent for a while, watching the servants busily serving tea and snacks.
After eating and drinking all the food, Teng said, "You all go out first." ”
She didn't deliberately keep her servant to humiliate. Zheng Lingyi said in his heart, Luzhu Road said that the maid who passed the word was a person around the Teng family, and he should also be trustworthy.
Teng glanced at Zheng Lingyi, lowered his eyes again, and seemed to be brewing something.
Zheng Lingyi opened his lips and called first, "Madam." ”
Teng Shi raised his eyes to look at her, Zheng Lingyi shook his head, and said dejectedly: "I don't know what to say." ”
The two were silent for a moment, not knowing what each other was thinking.
"I thought," Teng finally spoke, "My second son is a thin one, I never thought about it, but he is also a tendon." ”
"I thought my sister was still young, how could she understand this, but I didn't expect that she would know that she was hiding it from me." Zheng Lingyi didn't hide it and said very frankly.
Teng Shi glanced at her and said, "I was very angry, I think that in this matter, there are means for your two sisters to focus on management." But the second child said never, and when I said it again, he became anxious and said, 'Mother, do you really think I am a fool?' You can't tell the difference between sincerity and falsehood, if you heard how her sister scolded me last night, you should know that people didn't rush to ask my sister to climb our house! ’”
Zheng Lingyi's face suddenly turned red, and he naturally wanted to say something happy in his anger, but now that he was told by Teng's family, he was really embarrassed.
Seeing this, Teng knew that Mi Jiyue was telling the truth, and she said: "When I heard this, I was even more angry, but thinking about your usual style, you are indeed not a flatterer." Your sister is also a clean person, but my heart is ......
Teng didn't speak anymore, as if he wanted to ask Zheng Lingyi to carefully taste the deep meaning in her words.
Zheng Lingyi's heart sank, and she was a little annoyed, she looked up at Teng's family, and said, "But in your heart, you still feel that my sister is not worthy of your son." ”
Asking her to say it so bluntly, Teng was a little embarrassed, she stopped talking, reached for the teacup, took a sip, and took another sip.
"The second cousin is also at this age, and Mrs. doesn't think Gong Xinyu is suitable, so Mrs. has a candidate in her heart?" Zheng Lingyi also picked up the teacup, changed her gossip tone, and gave up completely, not planning to earn it for her sister.
Teng couldn't figure out Zheng Lingyi, thought about it, and said: "There are a few sisters who are of the right age, but the second child is stubborn and refuses." ”
Zheng Lingyi nodded casually, and did not answer, finding that Teng looked at him from time to time, and stopped talking.
Zheng Lingyi was stunned and said, "Madame doesn't want me to convince my second cousin." ”
Teng Shi was extremely embarrassed by the shocked look on her face, and saw Zheng Lingyi close her eyes again, and said in a deep voice: "Marriage is not a matter of two people, I know." The Mi family is a great place for my sister. But I also know that even if I cry and beg my wife to allow them to be a couple, my sister will always be a little shorter in her heart. I don't want to, and she doesn't necessarily want to. Madam, the identity of the concubine is a big shortcoming for you, but for me, as long as the background is innocent, there is nothing to blame, I have suffered a lot of crimes because of this identity in the past half of my life, but I never feel embarrassed. ”
