Chapter 459: Discovering the Truth
Being questioned by Dongfang Qi in person, Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi unnaturally stopped what they were doing, quietly glanced at each other, and then subconsciously avoided each other's eyes.
Nalan Jin didn't want to explain too much, so she kept lowering her head and drinking the soup, even if there was no soup in the bowl, and the spoon and the bowl bumped and crackled, she still kept stuffing air into her mouth.
"Mother, are you okay, do you want to drink or not?" Dongfang Qi deliberately stared at Nalan Jin.
"Of course I'm drinking, I'm drinking, yes, I'm drinking soup." Nalan Jin replied incoherently.
"People who don't know still think that Nalan Mansion has no money, so let Niang keep gnawing on empty bowls." Dongfang Qi deliberately stimulated Nalan Jin, "If my mother can eat the bowl, it will save a lot of money." ”
Dongfang Qi has come into contact with a lot of businessmen, and the words persuaded at a young age are as mature as adults, which makes Nalan Jin surprised when he listens.
"Qi'er, when did you learn to be so sharp-tongued?" Nalan Jin put down the empty bowl and looked at Dongfang Qi embarrassedly, "But in special times, it is not impossible to eat bowls." ”
Nalan Jin Shi seemed to remember some things in the past, when Nalan Mansion was lonely, Nalan Jin's suffering was not easier than eating a bowl.
Dongfang Yi felt extremely harsh when he heard Nalan Jin speak, it was sarcastic intentionally or unintentionally, and it seemed that by talking to the child, he gradually insinuated some things.
He knew that the events of that night had broken Nalan Jin's heart, and even if he said anything at this time, it was irreparable.
"I'm afraid that if you really want to eat the bowl, some people will feel distressed." Dongfang Qi looked at Dongfang Yi reflectively, "I'm afraid that it will hurt not only the heart, but also the stomach and intestines when the time comes." It's a lifetime of trying to make up for it, but I can't make up for it. ”
Dongfang Qi didn't know where he learned the emotional counselor, and he was full of confusion about what Dongfang Yi said to Nalan Jin.
"Children don't get too involved in the affairs of adults, you don't have a growing relationship with yourself, how much can you understand? Don't listen to someone say a sentence or two, and you will take it out of context. Nalan Jin pointed to Dongfang Qi's head and taught him to be nosy.
Dongfang Qi looked at Dongfang Yi helplessly, he was full of joy to support Dongfang Qi's approach, and quietly gave a thumbs up under the table to cheer him on.
How could the father and son's caution hide from Nalan Jin, she glanced at it, immediately stood up and left the table, and patted Dongfang Qi on the head when she left, disgusted that he was nosy.
Watching Nalan Jin leave, Dongfang Yi was very anxious, stood up and wanted to catch up, but he didn't have the courage, so he could only watch her leave.
"Dad, what happened between you and your mother, how can you feel like enemies?" Dongfang Qi looked at Dongfang Yi puzzled.
"Like your mother said, it's hard to talk to children about things between adults, but I really don't want something to happen between us, understand?" Dongfang Yizi is poor and doesn't know how to explain it.
"Even if I don't understand, and my father doesn't know how to say it, but my mother is angry, and my father is going to coax me, this shouldn't be something that children can't know, right?" Dongfang Qi hinted that Dongfang Yi should act quickly.
"Good son."
Dongfang Yi happily patted Dongfang Qi's head, and then hurried to catch up with Nalan Jin's pace, no matter what, the matter has not reached the point of no return, he will not give up easily.
"It's really a husband and wife, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, happy people, unhappy people, they all like to pat my head, Mr. said that always patting my head will not grow tall!"
Dongfang Qi hugged his head and shouted loudly, but the two adults didn't seem to take his words as a child to heart at all.
really responded to that sentence, there is no humanity of the opposite sex, and now there is no son even anymore.
Seeing that Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi did not get along, Dongfang Qi's heart was also uncomfortable, and he didn't have the heart to study well.
The so-called, if the parents have something, the son will be on it.
Dongfang Qi wants to know how they have always had a good relationship, how they can be so good that they will make trouble. Moreover, this time it seems to be different from the previous couples' awkward quarrels, and it is calm and scary.
"Let me ask you, do you know what happened between my mother and my father?" Dongfang Qi asked the subordinates who followed him.
"The slave doesn't know very well what happened between my uncle and the young lady, at least I heard what others said." The maid lowered her head and cautiously replied to Dongfang Qi.
"Say whatever you know." Dongfang Qi closed the doors and windows.
"I heard the maid next to Miss say that it was because my aunt had a treat the night before, and Master Lin's mother complained to my uncle in front of the outside, saying that Miss treated her badly and cried very sadly, so my aunt promised to give her a shop to ensure that she would spend her old age in peace."
The maid told Dongfang Qi everything she heard, "It turned out to be Master Lin's mother." ”
Dongfang Qi whispered silently, and the maid saw that he was a little thoughtful, so she found an excuse to leave.
He remembered that when he was looking for Nalan Jin before, he saw that she gave many of her beloved jewelry to the Lin family, which was not at all like what the maid said, let alone as inhuman as the Lin family said.
He realized that someone must be deliberately fabricating and distorting the truth of the matter, so Dongfang Qi planned to find Nalan Jin to ask the matter clearly.
Nalan Jin avoided Dongfang Yi all day long, didn't go to the workshop, and didn't appear in the same place as Dongfang Yi when he returned to the mansion, obviously deliberately avoiding Dongfang Yi.
"Mother, I knew that you were hiding here, things can't be solved by dodging, you usually deal with so many business things, and you also help others, how did you become evasive when you get to yourself?" Dongfang Qi slowly climbed to the height of the rockery.
Nalan Jin sat on it and blew the cool breeze, but when she saw Dongfang Qi climbing up, she was a little worried and hurriedly grabbed his arm.
"Why did you get up, be careful of falling, hurry down." Nalan Jin looked at Dongfang Qi nervously.
"I won't fall, and my mother is here, I believe my mother will protect me and won't fall." Dongfang Qi sat down beside Nalan Jin with certainty, "I've been hiding for so long, have you figured out how to solve it?" ”
Nalan Jin was a little dazed by Dongfang Qi's question, not knowing what he meant.
"Mother found that you seem to be a little mature lately, and it seems that it is time to change your husband. I really don't know what you read in a day. Nalan Jin began to divert the topic and question Dongfang Qi.
"Mother, don't talk nonsense, I've already heard what everyone said." Dongfang Qi cut directly to the question, "It's all Grandmother Lin who sued in front of your father, and you contradicted your father, but didn't your mother give her a lot of jewelry before?" Is she still not satisfied? ”
Nalan Jin stared at Dongfang Qi for a long time, "Don't listen to nonsense to Ireland. ”
"Dad can listen, why can't I listen, mother, what do you want, you can't always run away, what do you think about this matter?" Dongfang Qi looked sideways at Nalan Jin.
"Qi'er, listen, my mother knows what you mean, and my mother can understand it, but adult things are not as simple as children think, my mother has her own idea of doing things, you are still young, don't care about adult affairs, and don't participate in grievances between adults."
Nalan Jin doesn't want things between adults to affect the next generation, especially a smart child like Dongfang Qi, a glance can make him guess the general situation of the matter, and he can know the ins and outs of the matter with a little sentence.
Although Nalan Jin intends to let Dongfang Qi get in touch with the business of Nalan Mansion and wants to temper him, it is best not to let him contact things that affect Dongfang Qi's healthy growth.
"Hmm."
Dongfang Qi nodded as if he didn't understand, and sat with Nalan Jin for a long time before going back to rest.
Although Dongfang Qi was forced to participate in the affairs between adults, seeing that Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi did not agree, he wanted to help again.
So, within a day, the maids in the house began to talk about it, and they were all whispering about Nalan Jin's sending things to the Lin family.
"I can't see it, I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart."
"Needless to say, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they usually look at her kindness and generosity, but I didn't expect her heart to be so bad."
"People pretend to be very good, otherwise how would my uncle listen to her and quarrel with the young lady."
"Oh, don't say it, such a woman is really terrible in the house, the young lady has given her so many jewelry, she is not satisfied, she is really insatiable."
"Isn't it? I also heard that Master Lin's mother relied on her uncle's filial piety to her, so she asked the young lady for things without restraint, and the young lady also gave her the shop. ”
"I heard that she is very similar to my aunt's deceased mother, otherwise she wouldn't be so arrogant."
"I've also heard ......"
The maid was talking energetically, and her curiosity was completely aroused, when she heard Dongfang Yi's voice.
"Don't go to work, what are you doing here, don't disperse!" Dongfang Yi shouted, and the subordinates hurriedly dispersed.
When Dongfang Yi came back from the next dynasty, he heard someone talking about the matter between the Lin family and Nalan Jin, and he also wanted to know the ins and outs of the middle, so he stopped and listened quietly for a long time, and the more he listened, the more annoyed he became.
Unexpectedly, Nalan Jin has borne so many grievances these days, and what the Lin family did to her, Nalan Jin never mentioned it to Dongfang Yi. Even when Lin framed Nalan Jin in front of others, she didn't mention a word to refute it, even if it was to defend herself.
Dongfang Yi is still a little puzzled about the rumors in the maid's mouth, after all, the maids like to exaggerate when they spread gossip.
So, Dongfang Yi arranged for his own people to check those rumors, and in just a few hours, the next person came back.
"Uncle." The subordinate muttered in Dongfang Yi's ear for a while.
"So, what those maids said is the truth, but why did the godmother do it? Why did Jin'er do this, why did she refuse to accept it with me when she was wronged, she would rather bear it silently. Dongfang muttered incomprehensibly, not only reflected.
