Text Chapter 186 The heart is cold
She lost her children, and she almost lost her own life. Filled with grief and indignation, she vowed to find the murderer, but what was the use of finding out? The old man didn't believe her at all, and even thought that she was deliberately slandering Aunt Shen and deliberately pulling Aunt Shen into the water.
How ridiculous? She was miserable to that point, and her man didn't believe her at all.
A heart slowly became cold, since he insisted on not believing her, it would be okay, just when the fate between them came to an end that day, from then on, they went their own way, and they were irrelevant!
It was also from that day that she finally made up her mind to go to the capital, and she said that she was helping Master Hao serve Mrs. Hao, but in fact, she just didn't want to continue to stay in Taihe County, and she didn't want to see those two people again.
In so many years of companionship, she has been serving the old lady with her heart, and now, the old lady has treated her as well as her own daughter. Come to think of it, the old lady thought that she had delayed her youth and delayed her time with Master Hao, so now after coming back, she tried her best to make do with them.
However, the human heart is dead, how can it be resurrected?
The night in the middle of winter, so cold, so cold that she almost suspected that she was walking on the road in thin clothes, and she couldn't help but reach out and hug herself. Just like twelve years ago, she could only hug herself tightly, she could only give herself some warmth, and nothing else could be done.
"Wan Niang, I know I was wrong back then, can't you give me another chance? And my mother really wants the two of us to be together now. Master Hao said slowly in a deep voice.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Wan Niang's mouth, it turned out that until now, he was only with her because he didn't want the old lady to be sad.
That's right, twelve years ago, she was so young, he didn't feel moved by her, and now that she is already an old man, how could he pity her?
"Master, I said, the past is in the past, and the only thing I want to do now is to take good care of the old lady, and I don't want to do anything else. After a hundred years of the old lady, I will escape into the empty door. I don't have anything to be nostalgic for in this earthly world. ”
Wan Niang said in a quiet tone, as if she had already looked down on the world and would not care about anything anymore.
Master Hao was silent, a man of his status, he had already admitted that he was wrong, what else? What else do you want him to do? Immediately, Master Hao's face became ugly, and the two of them went to the West Chamber silently.
The West Chamber is where Wan Niang lives, and since the old lady specially asked Wan Niang to send off Master Hao, she naturally hopes that Master Hao can stay in Wan Niang's room tonight. Master Hao and Wan Niang are well aware of this, although Wan Niang doesn't like him, she doesn't want to disappoint the old lady.
Skillfully made the bed, and asked the next person to bring hot water, and after waiting for Master Hao to wash up, Wan Niang said: "Master, you rest first, it's still early, I'll go to the old lady to have a look." ”
Looking at the indifferent woman in front of him, it was difficult for Master Hao to think that she was the gentle and delicate woman more than ten years ago.
He wanted to reach out and grab her distant figure, but as soon as his hand was raised a little, he forcibly pressed it down. Who is he? He is Hao Zhongyi! A character who can make everyone in Taihe County tremble three times when he says a word in Taihe County, how can he bow his head in front of a little woman? What's more, he has already admitted twice that he was wrong, what else should he do?
There has never been a shortage of people who flatter him in this world, since she is so ignorant of lifting, forget it!
Master Hao lay down steadily, slowly closed his eyes, and let Wan Niang leave.
In the hall, the banquet continued, Hao Lingwei was the youngest, but her mouth was the sweetest, and she knew that she was very happy to coax the old lady at a young age, making the old lady like her more and more. Originally, because of Aunt Shen's relationship, the old lady was a little prejudiced against Hao Lingwei, but the old people like sweet-mouthed children, and Hao Lingwei is so sensible, it is difficult to make the old lady dislike her.
Ding Yezi is very calm, and the meeting gift given to her by the old lady is already very revealing, and the old lady is not very happy about her grandson and daughter-in-law from a poor background. If she pretends to be stupid again, it will make the old lady hate her even more. It's better to respond to all changes with the same, laugh when you should laugh, and don't speak when you shouldn't speak, anyway, although there are no advantages in this way, at least you can't say anything bad about her.
Wan Niang didn't really go back to the hall again after serving Master Hao to rest, if she went back now, the old lady would inevitably ask her why she didn't stay with Master Hao, and then she wouldn't know how to answer. It is better to stay in the side room first, and wait until the banquet is over, and then go to see the old lady.
has been with the old lady for so many years, not only does the old lady regard her as her own biological daughter, but she also really regards the old lady as her own mother, and has been taking care of her with her heart, the so-called heart-to-heart is like this.
The charcoal fire in the charcoal basin was crackling, but her mind was extremely clear, and the past was vivid, even if more than ten years of time had not been wiped out, how could she be unconcerned about what had happened again?
Once, she almost had a child of her own and almost became a mother. But now, she can only watch Aunt Shen's two children begging in front of the old lady, she is not a saint, how can she not hate it at all?
In the quiet room, there is obviously no wind, and the candlelight is still flickering and flickering, occasionally flickering on Wan Niang's face, and the indifference and alienation make people feel extremely reluctant.
After the banquet was dispersed, Ding Yezi and Hao Ling went back to the east courtyard, the weather was too cold at night, Hao Lingzhu did not join in the fun, and Wu Zi took the maids back to the north courtyard.
Aunt Shen flattered the old lady a few words with her heart, and after Wanniang left, she also gave the old lady some vegetables, wanting to sell them in front of the old lady. It's a pity that the old lady didn't buy her account at all, although it didn't embarrass her, but she definitely didn't give her any good looks. So as soon as the banquet ended, Aunt Shen asked Hao Lingwei to send the old lady back under the pretext of arranging the rest of the things.
Seeing Aunt Shen deflated, Ding Yezi and Hao Lingzhu were extremely happy, and there was finally someone in the house who could suppress her.
Aunt Shen still doesn't know the old lady's instructions to Master Hao, and she didn't expect Wan Niang to help Master Hao to the west chamber. But when she returned to the room, she didn't see Master Hao lying on the bed resting, and a bad feeling suddenly floated in her heart. She immediately asked people to call the mother-in-law who was guarding the door today, and when she asked carefully, as expected, Wan Niang actually helped the old man back to her room.
When Aunt Shen heard about this, she was really angry, thinking when she had suffered this kind of secret loss?
Hum...... What a little slut, she actually abducted the master when she wasn't paying attention, and it was when the master was drunk!
Where can Aunt Shen allow Wanniang to ride on her head? But she is not the kind of impulsive person, and she will not just rush to the West Chamber to find someone so recklessly. After thinking about it carefully, he asked Shen's mother to prepare a bowl of decanting soup and a cup of old chicken soup, and then took it and went to the West Chamber with her.
With this excuse, even if it is an old lady, she can't say that she is not.
Before leaving, Aunt Shen deliberately changed her slightly brighter clothes, put on makeup again, and then rushed to the West Chamber with people. Of course, when she arrived at the West Chamber, she deliberately slowed down, not wanting people to know how she rushed over there in a hurry.
said that at the beginning of the banquet, there was already a little maid who had been instructed by Wan Niang earlier to go to Wan Niang, telling her that the banquet had been dispersed and that the old lady was coming back. Wan Niang made preparations in advance, was busy with her mind, and went to stay by Master Hao's side.
Although she still has a pimple for Master Hao in her heart, she can't be known by the old lady.
When the old lady entered the courtyard, Wan Niang pushed the door out of her room at the right time, making the old lady think that she had always been by Master Hao's side.
"Old lady, seeing that you are in such good spirits now, you must be very happy at the banquet tonight, right?" Wan Niang stepped forward and grabbed one of the old lady's arms, and asked with a light smile.
I haven't seen my second son's family for a long time, and the old lady is also very worried in her heart, and now she can finally get together at a table to eat, and see that her children and grandchildren are doing well, how can she be unhappy?
The old lady's expression did not hide her joy, and she smiled and said, "Isn't it?" It's rare to eat with them, and now that I'm finally back, the days to come will be long. ”
Speaking of this, the old lady inadvertently patted Wanniang's hand, and the meaning was self-evident.
Wan Niang was silent and did not answer the old lady's words. She understood the old lady's intentions, but she couldn't force herself. It's just that she knows these things in her own heart, and she doesn't have to be known by the old lady.
The old lady didn't hear Wan Niang's reply, and said, "Wan Niang, you better go to Zhongyi's side to accompany you, how boring is it to follow my lonely old woman?" I have Qiuyun on my side and they are waiting, but you are waiting here, you can go back quickly. ”
Wan Niang insisted on sending the old lady back, and said with a light smile: "What did the old lady say, it is my blessing to be by the old lady's side, how can it be boring?" Besides, I want to come to the old lady and hope that I can accompany the old lady more. ”
"Your little mouth is the sweetest! Okay, I know what you want, go back quickly. The old lady smiled lightly and urged again.
No, Wan Niang had no choice but to listen to the old lady's words and go back to the West Chamber.
