Su Ruan looked at the winter melon candy on the table and was stunned.

What did Shen Tangxi give her this?

"What did he say?" Su Ruan asked.

Cai Qian shook his head: "Young Master Cousin didn't say anything, just asked the slave to hand this over to Miss, and then left." ”

Su Ruan was even more puzzled when he heard this.

She reached out and pinched the melon candy, and the syrup wrapped in it fell to her fingertips, pricking her hand slightly.

Su Ruan remembered that the relationship between Shen Tangxi and Xie Qingheng seemed to be very good, and they were close cousins and sisters, could it be that he wanted to bribe her with this winter melon candy, so that she wouldn't scold Xie Qingheng too hard next time? Or just buy her with sugar?

Su Ruan was amused by his thoughts, turned his head and saw Cheng'er looking at the candy cubes intently, and said, "Want to eat?" ”

Cheng'er hurriedly shook her head: "I don't want to!" ”

Then he swallowed.

Su Ruan's eyes bent slightly: "If you want to eat, take it." ”

"Won't Miss eat?"

"I don't like winter melons."

"Why?"

Su Ruan raised his eyebrows: "Probably, because it's stupid." ”

Cheng'er is at a loss, is the winter melon still stupid?

Seeing Cheng'er's stupid appearance, Su Ruan chuckled, turned his head to Cai Qian next to him and said, "Collect it here, my Buddhist scriptures are almost finished, you go and get a basin to come over, so that you can burn the Buddhist scriptures to my father." ”

Cai Qian nodded hurriedly and touched Cheng'er, and Cheng'er stepped forward to clean up the winter melon candy on the table, but her mind was still thinking about why the winter melon was stupid?

……

Su Ruan kept filial piety in the room, and at the beginning, Xie Qingheng and the others thought she was just talking, but then for two consecutive days, she stayed in Bihe Garden, neither going out, nor being as publicized as before.

The gate of Bihe Garden was closed, and except for Old Madam Xie, even Xie Yuan couldn't get in half a step.

Xie Qingheng listened to the news brought by the people in the house, and he didn't know what to think, so he stepped up to find the materials to make the tablet for Su Xuanmin.

Ordinary tablets are made of pine or chestnut wood, but before that, Mrs. Xie personally spoke, asking Xie Qingyang to find Lingmu to rebuild the tablet for Su Xuanmin.

Xie Qingheng didn't want to talk about this matter, and was grabbed by Su Ruan, so after going to several shops that made funeral goods, he finally found a piece of good sandalwood for making Buddha statues, and after making a tablet, he wrapped it in a black cloth and brought it back to the house.

When he went to Bihe Garden, there was no one guarding the door, Xie Qingheng looked around after entering a little strangely, but he didn't see Su Ruan's two maid rings.

He frowned, and after standing in the courtyard for a moment, he thought about leaving first, but as soon as he turned around, he heard a low cry coming from the room.

"Ruan Ruan, do you really refuse to forgive your mother?"

The voice was like water, obviously crying, but it was thin as if there was no temper.

Xie Qingheng immediately heard that it was Chen's voice.

He paused, not wanting to eavesdrop, but Su Ruan's voice came again.

It's not like the smile when she mocked him that day, and it's not the sadness when she was in the outer courtyard, her voice was cold and indifferent, even if she didn't see her expression, Xie Qingheng could still hear it, and there must be no smile on her face when she spoke.

"I've already said it, I don't blame you, so where can I forgive?"

Su Ruan was a little calm and excessive.

Chen's eyes were red: "You are blaming me, blaming me for marrying Xie Yuan, blaming me for hiding it from you." ”

Tears rolled down her face as she lifted her head slightly.

"If that's not the case, why would you agree to the old lady's words and tell others that you are not my biological daughter?"

Chen looked at Su Ruan with teary eyes.

"Ruan Ruan, I know you blame me, but I just want a stable life, I just don't want to be displaced anymore, I don't want to live a precarious life, I wake up every day and face those disgusting eyes, and I face those days of constant hunting."

"When I was in Jingnan, I dragged you down everywhere."

"I know I'm useless, I don't have the ability to protect you, I don't want you to become angry in order to protect me, and I don't want you to stain your hands with blood one day in order to protect me..."

"I don't know anything, I only have this face, I can only use myself to find someone who can shelter you."

Chen's voice was choked and sobbing as he spoke.

"You believe me, I really didn't know he was Xie Yuan when I was in Jingnan, after he saved us that day, I just thought he was an ordinary rich and noble son, he followed us for two months, I just thought he was enough to protect us."

"After coming to the capital, I knew his identity and knew that he was the Marquis of Xuanping, but at that time he directly entered the palace to ask for a decree, and the palace gave me a marriage, so I couldn't refuse it......"

Su Ruan looked at Chen and listened to the words that came out of her mouth.

A word of no blame was on her lips, but she couldn't say anything.

She doesn't like Chen's weakness, she doesn't like her only tears, and she doesn't like her blind flattery and indulgence in her last life because she concealed it.

The Chen family was pampered by the Chen family in the boudoir since he was a child, and later after marrying Su Xuanmin, he was also held in his heart and reluctant to let her suffer a little.

She has always lived a rich and stable life, even as a wife and mother, she has not learned how to take care of herself, let alone take care of her young daughter after losing her asylum?

In Jingnan's year, she tried her best to protect Chen, but Chen would only hug her and cry.

entered the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Xie let her not enter the second room, Chen didn't know how to resist, didn't know how to argue, didn't know how to question, but still only cried to her.

It was probably after that day that she understood.

Chen's is just a silk flower, she can only rely on people to live.

Su Ruan was wearing plain clothes, her face became whiter and whiter, she looked at Chen for a long time before she spoke:

"I know you can't refuse, and I know what you married Xie Yuan for, you want peace, you don't want me to work so hard, and I'm even more afraid that the disaster caused by my father's death will kill our mother and daughter, I know all this."

Her voice paused before continuing:

"Although you are your father's wife, the court has not explicitly ordered your husband not to remarry, and you have no obligation to be a widow for him after your father leaves."

"Putting aside the grievances between Xie Yuan and Daddy, he is indeed a good person, who can protect your future, and it is understandable for you to choose him."

"Then why don't you call me mother?"

Chen looked at Su Ruan: "Since the day I entered the Marquis of Xuanping, you have never called me again, and now you have promised the old lady to tell the outside world that you and I are not mother and daughter, Ruan Ruan, don't you want a mother?" ”

Su Ruan was stunned, looking at the uneasiness on Chen's face, but she lost the ability to appease her, she just lowered her eyes and said: "Dad still has a few days of filial piety, you just got married, it's unlucky to come here, go back, take good care of the Xie family." ”

Chen's face turned pale in an instant, and seeing Su Ruan turn her head away and stop talking, she covered her mouth tightly and cried, and in a moment got up and walked out of the door.
