Chapter 660: In the Heart
On the side of the Confucian Mansion, the news of Xie Yuanniang's return also spread, causing an uproar in Jinling City.
Back then, Gu Yuan's wife was snatched away by the traitorous party, who doesn't know, but now she suddenly came back, where have she gone all these years? The chatter slowly spread.
Xie Yuanniang was in the mansion and didn't know anything about the outside at all, on the contrary, Xie Jiangyuan and Brother Ming in the Xie Mansion knew the news and went to the Confucian Mansion that night.
When they came, Xie Yuanniang was eating, and when she saw Xie Jiangyuan, Xie Yuanniang was also stunned, she opened her mouth, but before the words came out, on the other hand, Xie Jiangyuan strode in and called someone first.
"Yuan Niang."
"Second sister."
Brother Ming was already a teenager, his body was elongated, he faded from the posture of a teenager, and looked at Xie Yuanniang with an excited expression, and his eyes were slightly red.
"Father, Brother Ming." Xie Yuanniang thought that her father and Brother Ming would be happy when she came back, but she didn't expect them to come over so late.
Xie Jiangyuan calmed down as soon as possible, after all, there was still Xiao Shu's here, and his identity as an adoptive father and uncle was also embarrassing, "You can do it well." ”
Brother Ming only looked at his sister and didn't speak.
It was Brother Heng who squeezed into the middle of the three and looked up at the three of them, which broke the sad atmosphere between the three of them.
"Is this the kid?" Xie Jiangyuan looked at Brother Heng excitedly.
Xie Yuanniang patted Brother Heng's head, "It's called my aunt and grandfather." ”
No matter what, with his mother here, Xie Yuanniang didn't want Brother Heng to call him his father and grandfather, Xie Jiangyuan also understood, he squatted down and held Brother Heng's shoulders with both hands.
"The little one is really strong."
Brother Heng likes to hear others say that he is strong, he thinks that he can protect his mother in this way, and he also laughed at his aunt and grandfather in front of him, "I am learning kung fu now, and I will be stronger in the future." ”
"Okay, well, when you grow up, you will protect your mother." Xie Jiangyuan smiled and ripped off the jade pendant from his waist, "I'm in a hurry, and I don't have time to prepare, you take this first." ”
Xie Yuanniang didn't refuse, knowing that this was his father's intention, so she asked Brother Heng to accept it.
Even though Xiao Shu's family doesn't like the people of the Xie family, Xie Jiangyuan's brother-in-law is really good, so he interjected at the right time, "Come here at this time, you haven't had dinner yet, and you're not an outsider, just add a pair of chopsticks and use them together." ”
Xie Jiangyuan also knew that he was too excited, so he thanked him embarrassedly, and at the same time refused, "It's not early, I know that Yuan Niang is back, and I really can't help but want to take a look, now that we see her, we can rest assured, and we will come to the door another day, and we won't bother much today." ”
"It's okay, then I'll have someone send a post in advance another day." Xiao Shu's can also be regarded as giving Xie Jiangyuan face.
Kong Cheng sent people away, and was interrupted in the middle of the meal, Xie Yuanniang was also hungry, and Xiao Shushi was also emotional, and asked his son to take Brother Heng and Brother Zhan out to play, and the mother and daughter stayed in the house to talk.
"You also saw Sister Yan's appearance today, it wasn't me who was a mother to embarrass her, it was her heart that had long been crooked, and she couldn't break it."
"Mother is old, you don't have to think about these anymore, the family relationship between two people also depends on fate, God is destined for how long, no matter how much you force, it's useless." Xie Yuanniang was also very helpless, she really didn't know that Bai Pin had such thoughts about her.
In fact, if she was in Sister Yan's position, she might also treat her coldly like Sister Yan, after all, the woman her man cares about in her heart, no one can accept it calmly.
"You can think about it, Sister Yan can't see it, she and we are pretending to be stupid, even I, the mother, are far away, why am I still picking on these? Let her go. Xiao Shushi didn't want to mention this, her daughter just saw it, "The news of your return, now I think it has spread, and there will be people in the house in the next few days, you see how to deal with it." ”
"It's still gone." Xie Yuanniang smiled, "But there are a few people who can meet them, Miss Wang who married into the Gu Mansion, and Sister Yu." I heard that Sister Yu married into Mafu, and she became pregnant just in time, and it seems that she is living well in Mafu. ”
"Okay, then I'll know." Xiao Shushi talked about the letter sent by Jiangnan today, "Your father is also coming, I persuaded him not to come, he didn't listen, he asked him to come with me at that time, but he refused, and now he is old and looks like a child." ”
Xie Yuanniang said with a smile, "Why bother my father, I will go back to Jiangnan with you if I have nothing to do in the past few days, and I will be able to see you then." ”
"You really don't think about it?"
Xie Yuanniang shook her head, "It's good now, let's go back and see my grandmother first, stay with you for a few days, and then talk about it." ”
The daughter didn't bite to death, and Xiao Shushi saw hope again, but he also knew that he couldn't persuade anymore.
At night, Xie Yuanniang coaxed the children to blow out the lights early and go to bed, but no one in the Gu Mansion could sleep.
Gu Tingzhi sat in the study in a daze, Shu Mi didn't notice it when she came in, and she didn't realize it until there was more steaming soup in front of her.
"Thinking that you didn't stop, I'll bring you some soup." Shu Mi smiled and lowered her eyes, "Today, the county lord of Nanyang went to grandmother, he should be talking about Sister Yuanniang, and she hasn't come out for this hour, do you want to go over and take a look?" ”
Gu Tingzhi looked at the steaming soup, "Forget it, there is a second uncle here, so we don't need to go over." ”
"Then I'll go back first." Shu Mi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
The door of the study was closed, and Gu Tingzhi called Xingwang to come in, "You can take this soup down and drink it." ”
Xingwang quietly took the soup, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart, the eldest grandmother always sent soup to the study, and knew that the uncle never drank it, but he sent it like this for three years.
In fact, the eldest grandmother is also very good, she has been left out in the cold and has never asked her mother's family to come forward, and Xingwang doesn't know how to persuade the uncle, I just hope that one day the uncle can figure it out himself.
In the courtyard of Old Madam Gu, the county lord of Nanyang had red circles, and Old Madam Gu sat on the top, her lips pursed tightly.
"County Lord, it's not early, the old lady hasn't confirmed with the second master about the second lady's return, and after asking the second master, he will definitely give the county lord an explanation." Seeing that the old lady had a tired look on her face, Mama Dong stepped forward and persuaded, "At this time, the second master has not returned to the house, it is not early, so the county lord should go back to rest first." ”
The county lord of Nanyang wiped the tears on her face, since she came over in the afternoon, she has been wiping her tears, only saying that Xie Yuanniang came back and asked the old lady what to do, but she didn't say what she thought.
At this time, seeing that the old lady was driving away, she said, "I know it's useless to ask the old lady about this, it's just that Xie Yuanniang and the second master have had a relationship, and Brother Zhan, the eldest son, is here, but I and the second master are married by the saint, and I can't resist the holy decree, I don't mind Xie Yuanniang coming back to the house, but I'm afraid that she will feel wronged and follow his wife as a concubine." ”
