After Chen fainted, Su Ruan was forcibly taken to Jintang Courtyard by Old Madam Xie.

Su Ruan originally thought that she would be able to go back after staying for a while, but who knew that Old Madam Xie directly sent her directly into the cross-courtyard next to Jintang Courtyard on the grounds that after she went back, Xie Yuan, who might have her brain in water and needed to dry, would go to her for trouble.

Su Ruan looked at the cross-courtyard, which was very close to the Jintang Courtyard and was larger than the Bihe Garden, and said, "Grandmother, I have to go back to keep filial piety for my father......"

"Shouxiao is the same wherever you go, everything is complete in this courtyard, I will order to go down and not let people disturb you."

"But ......"

"It's nothing."

Old Madam Xie said: "That Bihe Garden is remote, it is too inconvenient to come and go, I have to walk a few miles to see you, and although this place is close to Jintang Courtyard, no one dares to make noise here." ”

"I asked you to stay in Jintang Courtyard to accompany me before, but you didn't want to, now it's okay to live in this courtyard, or do you dislike me as an old woman and nag, and don't want to live next to me, and accompany me more on weekdays?"

Su Ruan hurriedly shook his head: "No." ”

Old Madam Xie interrupted and said, "No, then stay, it's decided." ”

She didn't give Su Ruan a chance to object, and directly raised her voice:

"Mother Liu, let someone move all the things in Bihe Garden, and let the girls from Bihe Garden also come over to serve. From today onwards, Nguyen Nguyen lives here and tells the people below that they should not come and disturb him. ”

Mother Liu hurriedly said, "The slave maid will go." ”

Su Ruan saw that Old Madam Xie had arranged everything, and Mother Liu also went out directly to Bihe Yuan to instruct, how could she not know Old Madam Xie's thoughts.

Old Madam Xie was afraid that if she continued to live in Bihe Garden, she would not be able to protect her, and she was even more afraid that today's incident would happen again.

Su Ruan's eyes were slightly red, and he inhaled and suppressed the sourness that came to his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, grandmother." ”

Old Madam Xie turned her head and saw the appearance of water vapor in her eyes, and said distressedly:

"What are you crying about, they don't protect you, grandmother protects you."

"The kindness of your parents cannot be forgotten, and your bloodline will never be broken, but there are some things that you have to obey. You are a good boy, you have done all the things you can, your mother will have the Xie family in the future, and the Xuanping Hou Mansion, and it will not be your turn to carry it for her. ”

"What Xie Yuan said just now, you should think he was farting, and don't listen to that mallet."

"The next time that mallet dares to talk nonsense to you, you will come to me and see that I can't clean him up."

Su Ruan pursed her lips lightly and said "um" in a thick nasal voice.

……

Old Madam Xie whispered a few words of comfort, and then rubbed the soft hair on her forehead and left.

Su Ruan stood in front of the door for a while before returning to the room, and when he sat down at the table, he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

In fact, she was angry, and even when Xie Yuan said that the Chen family had committed suicide, she had hatred in her heart.

Even if she desperately told herself that she couldn't blame, she still couldn't help but be angry, and the illusion of trying her best to cover it up was torn apart by someone, and the broken blood was dripping.

She wanted to ask Chen, she had the courage to commit suicide, why didn't she have the courage to protect her?

She wanted to ask Chen, when she stabbed herself in the chest, did she ever think that she was desperately trying to protect her and desperately wanted to live?

She's dead, what will she do?

If she hadn't died, what would she have done?

A girl who doesn't know anything, has lost all her protection, and has lost her only care, can she still live?

If Old Madam Xie hadn't appeared, if Old Madam Xie hadn't scolded her for her, Su Ruan really didn't know what she would do, some things had been suppressed for a lifetime, even if she had understood everything else, she still couldn't understand the Chen family.

Su Ruan looked at the sugar that Old Madam Xie gave her in her palm, and the gloom that had accumulated in her eyes gradually dissipated.

Su Ruan stuffed the sugar cube into her mouth, felt the sweetness spreading out of her mouth, and remembered the warmth of Old Madam Xie holding her and saying, "Grandmother protects you", and her face slowly regained its calm.

She's not without nothing, either.

……

Old Madam Xie came out of the courtyard and asked someone to call Xie Yuan over.

As soon as Xie Yuan entered the door, as soon as he called his mother, Old Madam Xie slapped him in the face.

Xie Yuan received a slap in the face, but remained silent.

Old Madam Xie's voice was tinged with anger:

"Su Ruan is not your daughter, she has never entered the second room, don't forget that you still owe her father a life!"

"You are the Marquis of Xuanping, not the tongue woman of the queen, those in the court are what you should do, and you love the woman you like, I don't bother to care about you, but don't think about taking a child to make a raft!"

Old Madam Xie was unceremonious when she spoke, and Xie Yuan, who was scolding, couldn't raise her head a little.

Old Madam Xie said with frost in her eyes: "If you want the Chen family to be stable, and you want the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to be less troublesome, you will take care of the affairs between their mother and daughter in the future, and let the Chen family stay in your second room safely." ”

"Don't force Su Ruan to really hate her."

Xie Yuan is actually not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, but when people's hearts are biased, they are more biased in their words and actions.

He whispered, "My son knows. ”

Seeing that Xie Yuan finally had some brains, Old Madam Xie didn't say that she was really nonsense for the sake of the Chen family, so her tone softened a little, and said to him: "I originally thought about letting her learn the housekeeper after she entered the mansion, but now I don't have to learn it anymore when I see her like this." ”

"In the future, she will take care of you and Qingheng, and leave the affairs of the house to the Wu family, what do you think?"

Xie Yuan pursed the corners of his mouth.

He understood that the Chen family couldn't stand up by himself, and he didn't have the ability to take care of the house, so he nodded directly and said, "Mother is in charge." ”

When Mother Liu opened the warm curtain and came in, she didn't seem to know what was going on inside, and she didn't look at Xie Yuan's face, she just said, "Old lady, the eldest prince is back." ”

Old Madam Xie restrained her anger and said, "Let him in." ”

After Mother Liu took the words and went out, Xie Qingheng came in, and after entering the room, Xie Qingheng saw Xie Yuan at a glance, although Xie Yuan's skin was not fair, but Mrs. Xie was angry when she slapped her, and the slap marks on Xie Yuan's face were still obvious at this time.

Xie Qingheng hurriedly avoided his eyes and said to Old Madam Xie, "Grandmother." ”

"You didn't go to Guozijian, why did you come back again?"

Xie Qingheng said: "I came back because I had something to tell my father. ”

He turned his head to look at Xie Yuan: "Just now after I went to Guozijian, I met Qi Saijiu, Qi Saijiu said that he was going to visit his father in the mansion tomorrow, and I was afraid that I would delay the business, so I came back first to tell my father." ”

Xie Yuan raised his head when he heard this: "Qi sacrificial wine? You say Qi Wenfu? ”
