Chapter 24: Default
On the way back to the wing, Qi kept holding Suning'er's palm, and faintly let out a light sigh from time to time.
The four girls followed behind and only dared to be silent.
Su Ning'er glanced at her carefully, only to find that her face was haggard and ugly as withered, she was really distressed, and couldn't help asking: "A-Niang, what's wrong, why did you see Uncle Thirteen and Lang Jialang sighing like this?" ”
Qi couldn't help but shake his head: "Hey, you thirteenth uncle, how can you be so worry-free now, I heard your aunt mention him a while ago, A-Niang was restless, but I didn't expect to see him today It's really a lot of bad things." ”
"Oh, I haven't heard you mention Uncle Thirteen before."
"You still forgot a lot of things", Qi Shi's words were silent here, and when Qingchun pushed the door and led her into the wing, the mother and daughter sat on the edge of the bed, and then slowly narrated:
"When I was in Yangzhou, our Su family was mainly engaged in business business, your ancestor had an affair with a cheap woman when he passed by Yuhang, and saw that the woman was pregnant, and wanted to take it back to Yangzhou's house, but later your eldest mother learned that she was stopped back together with your ancestor, and the woman held a grudge, and together with her mother's family, she framed your ancestor, almost causing the Su family to fall into a catastrophe, and then the woman disappeared with the child in her womb."
Suning was stunned for a while when he heard this: "The child in the womb is the thirteenth uncle, right?" ”
"Since that's the case", Qi nodded, and his face became more and more solemn when he talked about this old incident:
"Your ancestor was infected with a chronic illness because of this incident, otherwise he would not have lost his life in his early thirties, but after all, the child is innocent, and when your ancestor was dying, he thought that the Su family was declining, and asked your father to find his own flesh and blood, your father was the most filial, and entrusted many people to find him in a countryside in Yuhang County."
"That being the case, why didn't Uncle Thirteen live with us in Chang'an City?"
Qi Shi and her looked at each other, and a strange look suddenly appeared in their eyes: "You girl, what can you say to A-Niang." ”
Suning'er immediately realized that something was wrong, and I am afraid that this matter is also related to herself.
Qi Shi took her arm and patted her lightly on the shoulder angrily: "You, you have always been at odds with your second aunt, but in this matter, you are connected with your second uncle and second aunt, and you and Ning Xiang's girl did it together to drive your thirteenth uncle out of the old house in Yangzhou." ”
"Huh?" , Suning'er was stunned, no wonder Uncle Fang Cai saw that he had always had that weird look, it turned out that he was still sulking at himself.
It's really embarrassing, and I did it for no reason.
Qi didn't mean to blame her anymore, but showed a faint smile:
"It's no wonder that you and Ning Xiang are talking about this, since you beat your father and left, your thirteenth uncle has been disheartened all day long, your second uncle is still obsessed with the things of the year, and Liuniang looks down on your thirteenth uncle's background, and the couple often speak coldly when they see him, your thirteenth uncle is angry with them, so as not to go out to spend all day drinking, throwing pots and gambling money, and gradually developed the appearance that it is now, which makes your second uncle and aunt even more intolerable."
Her words were very vague, and Suning'er also understood the meaning, when she entered the door before, she heard that this thirteenth uncle broke off with her own lady, and I am afraid that the woman also felt that this day was unsustainable, so she had this idea.
Qi Shi paused for a while, squinted lightly and sighed with emotion:
"When your thirteenth uncle followed your father to the north and south, your second uncle was still a young son who had not dried up, and he also did a lot of hard work to have the Su family's family business today, and your father's violent death in the Western Regions was also buried by your thirteenth uncle himself, they are all flesh and blood brothers, how can I, as a brother and sister-in-law, watch him become a lowly status."
Suning'er was moved when she listened, but saw her looking at her sadly, with a serious attitude: "Ning'er, now that your thirteenth uncle has come to Chang'an City, you must not treat him like in the past, he is your thirteenth uncle's after all." ”
Suning'er nodded seriously, and at this moment, she truly realized the meaning of "the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother".
Her mother is really not easy to live in the Su family, and she pities the hearts of her parents all over the world, and now she only hopes to solve her marriage as soon as possible, live a peaceful and stable life, and no longer let her be dragged down.
Regarding the matter of that Lang Zhai, she didn't know what this woman thought, anyway, she had promised to arrange the marriage by her before, and there was naturally no reason to regret it now.
After thinking about it a little in her heart, she didn't want to provoke this topic directly, so she just asked very vaguely: "Since the eldest man of the Lang family is the thirteenth uncle and nephew, why did he come to Chang'an with him?" ”
"These two uncles and nephews are both miserable people with the same disease", Qi replied: "Your thirteenth uncle was brought to the Lang family by his biological mother, and his biological mother became a concubine, and Xiaolang is not the biological flesh and blood of the head of the Lang family, so he is not welcomed, and his biological mother was driven out a few years after her death. ”
After thinking about it hesitantly, she was actually a little unsure about what was going to happen next:
"As for Da Lang's child, Ah Niang has only heard of some things in Yangzhou before, it is said that he was also born to a concubine, Da Lang's biological mother doesn't know what happened, and was beaten to death by his eldest lady, and then the big lady who made trouble in the public court was just beaten a few boards and then stopped, because of this matter, Da Lang's life in the Lang family is not good, your thirteenth uncle took pity on Da Lang, and later left him by his side and broke off the relationship with the Lang family."
As she spoke, she suddenly changed her face and asked with a happy expression, "What does Ning'er think of this big man?" ”
Suning'er pursed her lips and said lukewarmly: "It's really a responsible person." ”
"Ning Er can indeed rest assured of this", Qi Shi smiled: "Your thirteenth uncle and your father have a deep brotherhood, so I have to think more about you at this point." ”
"Well, as long as A-Niang thinks it's okay, Ning'er doesn't have any opinions."
She thought that this is probably the case for marriage in her life, and she would no longer look forward to Prince Qing's change of heart, and it was impossible to be a concubine with Zhao Sanlang.
has an obedient husband, who still comes in, even if he doesn't have deep feelings, but he won't add a lot of bad things to himself out of thin air.
If you marry into another court, with your current status as an abandoned woman, if you don't say anything else, I'm afraid you won't dare to say a word more than things like filling in the house and taking concubines, so you can only be at the mercy of others.
With such an opportunity, I can't guarantee that the concubine will be able to step on her head from this one day, and I am helpless to think about it.
