Chapter 54: What this kid has been through
Twilight lowered his eyes and said in a calm tone: "At home...... There is a father, a stepmother, and a grandfather who has little affection, and a pair of children from the stepmother. ”
She's like a question-answering robot, with no emotion.
The old lady's smiling face couldn't help but froze.
Stepmother, emotionless grandpa?
What did this child go through to introduce the people in his family in such a cold and detached tone.
Chen Huanru, who was on the side, couldn't help but lean towards the old lady and whispered: "Mother-in-law, you forgot what I told you just now, she is the illegitimate daughter of the Du family!" ”
She knew that her mother-in-law must not have listened to her, so she liked Twilight so much.
When the old lady heard this, she glanced at her daughter-in-law and suddenly realized.
Yes, just now my daughter-in-law said that she was an illegitimate daughter.
So growing up under gossip?
No wonder the character is so cold, it must have paid off the warm and cold taste of human affection.
She didn't say a word to her mother, and the old lady remembered the rumor that her daughter-in-law had said before.
It is rumored that she had a strange illness and accidentally killed her own sister when she fell ill.
Thinking of this, the old lady realized how wrong her problem was, and it was no wonder that her daughter-in-law looked at her with that kind of look just now.
She was obviously uncovering her heavy scar and pouring salt on her wound.
The old lady felt guilty and sorry in her heart, and naturally she couldn't bear to continue this topic.
So the conversation changed: "Come, Shenshen, try this braised pork, it's grandma's favorite dish!" ”
She took a piece of braised pork cooked to a soft and glutinous texture and put it in a twilight bowl.
"Thank you, grandma."
"Eat more, see how thin you are."
The old lady's eyes were full of love, thinking that she must have suffered a lot of sins under the fence of the twilight family.
Lunch is over.
After what happened just now, the old lady didn't leave her to come down to chat with her.
The child was covered in pain, and she was afraid that if she chatted, she would inadvertently touch her scars.
Twilight Shen took the 'meeting gift' given by Mrs. Zhai and returned to the West House.
For this meeting gift, Twilight Shen was not curious, and in fact, he didn't plan to really accept it.
It's just that because of the old lady's insistence, she can't keep refusing to accept it, so she plans to accept it for the time being, and then leave it when she leaves.
She doesn't belong here, and she doesn't have anything to do with Zhai Nanzi.
But......
As she went upstairs, Twilight remembered Zhai Nanci's reason for leaving her.
Obviously, this mansion is full of owners, but she wants an outsider to stay and help him take care of the house.
When she returned to the room, she gently placed the things given by the old lady on the bedside table, and lay down on it, staring blankly at the ceiling in deep thought.
Thinking about it, a wave of tiredness came up.
Xu is weather is getting hotter, and before I know it, I just lay down and fell asleep.
……
Wake up again.
It was nearly dusk.
Looking out the window at the slanting sun, I washed my face in the twilight, and then went downstairs.
The maids at the villa were still busy.
In the garden, cumin is watering the flowers and plants in the yard.
Seeing her coming, he greeted her respectfully: "Miss Dusk." ”
Twilight pursed her lips and said nothing.
There was a set of stone tables and chairs not far away, and she walked over and sat down, holding a copy of Sherlock Holmes that she had found in the study on the second floor in the morning.
In fact, she didn't read much before, and she wasn't interested in books at all.
