Chapter 68: Accountability

Zhuyu led Gan Peilin directly into the inner courtyard.

When I arrived at the bottom of the corridor, I heard Gan Jilu's dripping cry like a yellow bird, which was a little pleasant.

"Okay, okay, Jilu, don't cry, grandmother's heart makes you cry." Mrs. Gan coaxed her in a gentle voice.

This slowed down Gan Peilin. Grandmother never seemed to speak to her so lovingly. Even when I was a child, I came to the Zen Heart Institute to be taught, and although my grandmother smiled, she was never so intimate.

"Old lady, the eldest lady is here." Zhu Yu opened the curtain as he spoke.

Gan Peilin just walked into the door, and saw Gan Jilu, who was lying on Mrs. Gan's lap, stood up and walked in front of her in three steps and two steps: "Sister, who is that girl today?" Why did His Highness take her away in public? Whether you know her or not, don't hide it from me. ”

Maybe it was a series of movements that were too violent, and after Gan Jilu said this, the person began to shake, obviously unable to stand on his feet.

Gan Peilin naturally wants to help.

"Hirolu." Mo Yan walked over with red eyes, swept away her hand, and yelled at her in disgust: "You eat things inside and outside, and you actually help a woman to rob your sister's husband." Gan Peilin, three years after your mother's death, I have been treating you wholeheartedly, even if you don't appreciate it, you can't take revenge, right? Did your conscience let the dog eat? ”

"Uh-huh." Mrs. Gan coughed so that Mo Yanqing would not continue to say such ugly words.

"Mother, in the past three years, how you have treated your daughter, my daughter knows it." Gan Peilin's bright eyes are as clear as sparkling lake water. Although it was calm, the ripples reflected a little light, so that people could not see her true heart. "Mother is really worried."

"yes." Mrs. Gan continued her words and said, "When will your anxious temper change?" Pei Lin will not be as unbearable as you say. Things haven't been asked clearly, you scold like this, where do you have the demeanor of being a housewife? I don't know, in the past three years, you have taken care of your concubine like this, and you have tarnished the reputation of Ganfu. ”

Mo Yanqing almost couldn't hold back her mouth, but it was Gan Jilu who grabbed the hand hidden in her sleeve. Thousands of words converged into one sentence, and Mo Yanqing gasped: "What my mother taught me was that my daughter-in-law was reckless." ”

"When I cry like this, my grandmother's heart is in turmoil. Not to mention you. That's it. Mrs. Gan's tone softened slightly, and her eyes turned to Gan Peilin: "What the hell is going on, Peilin, you can say it well." ”

"Back to my grandmother's words, in the market today, the girl who was taken away by His Royal Highness King Shengqing was actually Princess Qingning of Shi Ye Kingdom. Princess Qingning's silver ticket was snatched by a few bastards on South Street, and Her Royal Highness happened to pass by, and she was upset. I was afraid that those people would go and come back to attack the princess, so I took the princess and left. After all, it is related to the diplomatic relations with Shi Ye Kingdom, so His Royal Highness didn't care about talking to the second sister. Gan Peilin glanced at Gan Jiaolu with some confusion.

"Was the second sister there at the time? That's dangerous. Gan Peilin deliberately exposed her thoughts: "At that time, those bastards surrounded me and Qingning Gongzu, which was really terrifying. Fortunately, you didn't see the second sister, if you squeeze in, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

As soon as Mrs. Gan heard this, she immediately understood. Obviously, Gan Jilu can see King Shengqing take Princess Qingning away, and she must also see her sister being besieged by gangsters. But she didn't say a word about it, and her harmful intentions couldn't be more obvious.

"When I went, I saw His Royal Highness pull the princess on the horse......" Gan Jilu suddenly burst into tears: "People on the side of the road say what kind of hero saves beauty." I wanted to call my sister and ask what was going on. But at that time, my sister was already on the back of the eldest son of the Ao family. ”

"Ho." Mo Yanqing sneered, and her eyes fell on Gan Peilin's face again. "Mother, you heard it all this time. People outside complain that our eldest lady has a lot of eyes and high means! This time it was the governor of the capital, and for a while it was the eldest son of the Ao family, and for a while he gave the second son of the Ao family a sachet, and I heard that when he was in the Shengqing Palace, even the champion Lang was very close to our eldest lady. Are all the best sons in the Imperial City like you? ”

Gan Peilin thought to herself, Mo Yanqing has worked hard to inquire about her.

But in front of her grandmother, she didn't need to be reckless, and as soon as her eyebrows furrowed, her tone softened. "Mother, you misunderstood your daughter."

"Misunderstanding?" Mo Yanqing sneered again and again: "Why did you misunderstand?" It's not that you shamelessly stick into the pile of men, how can there be so many rumors and rumors spread everywhere? As a daughter's family, you don't want to be honorable, and you can't lose the face of Ganfu. ”

"Mother." Gan Peilin stared into her eyes, her dark pupils turned slightly, and tears flashed in her clear eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. My daughter really hasn't done anything that hurts her reputation. If you don't believe it, just ask the second sister. ”

Gan Peilin bit the words "detrimental" very hard, and sure enough, Mo Yanqing and Gan Jilu's faces changed.

It's just that Mrs. Gan still didn't react. Thinking about it, even if she knew about the Star Picking Building, she would deliberately pretend to be confused in front of the mother and daughter. After all, if the ugly thing is pulled out, the faces of people in the whole house will be dull.

"You can't blame Peilin for the affairs of the Metropolitan Governor." Mrs. Gan said thoughtfully: "He saved our Gan Mansion once, but he owes him a favor." On the surface, it is natural to get by. ”

"That's what Mother said." Mo Yanqing nodded again and again: "The Metropolitan Governor also helped the master once." He is the benefactor of our Ganfu. But even so, there are always some boundaries between men and women. I heard that the Metropolitan Governor purchased gifts just to go to Ao Mansion to propose marriage, and it was a sure thing, and everyone else knew that if there were any branches, it would not be good. ”

Mrs. Gan was very reluctant to hear what she said. "Haven't you mentioned it yet? How is it a certainty? ”

"yes." Gan Jilu thought of the appearance of King Shengqing when he hugged Princess Qingning, and then remembered the night when he picked up the star...... She and Princess Qingning, one in the sky and one on the ground, why did King Shengqing have to choose her? "Mother, what can I do......"

She threw herself into Mo Yanqing's arms, tears falling like rain. "You help your daughter, help your daughter!"

Mo Yanqing gritted her teeth, and glared at Gan Peilin with resentment in her eyes: "How did you get acquainted with Princess Qingning?" And why did you provoke those bastards on South Street? In front of your grandmother, make it clear, otherwise don't blame me, a mother, for not tolerating you. ”

The butler walked in at the right time, with a happy look on his face.

"How?" Mrs. Gan glanced at him and couldn't help frowning.

"Back to the old lady, someone from outside sent a cart of gifts, saying that it was for the eldest lady." The housekeeper smiled and said, "It was Princess Qingning who sent it from the post house." also sent a message, saying that he would visit in person another day and be a guest in the eldest lady's room. ”

"Princess Qingning......" Mrs. Gan couldn't help but look at Gan Peilin in surprise. How did you become friends with the princess? ”

"On the day my grandmother let us go out, Peilin met the princess on the street. The princess liked Peilin's sachet and gave it to her. Gan Peilin said slowly: "Today, when the princess revealed her wealth and was targeted by gangsters, and was rescued by King Shengqing, Peilin knew the true identity of the princess. There was no intention to hide it from my grandmother and mother. ”

"I see." Mrs. Gan thought about it for a while: "It's only a matter of a few days for the envoys to enter the imperial city to ask for peace. Pei Lin has never been to any Shiye country, and it is impossible for him to marry Princess Qingning early in the morning. I think today's events have nothing to do with her. ”

Gan Jilu heard her grandmother say this, and hurriedly saluted Gan Peilin to apologize: "It's all my sister's fault, I misunderstood my sister, and I cried and cried to my sister to hold me accountable, but it turned out to be just a coincidence." Sister, don't take it to heart. ”

She is the best at doing these superficial skills, and she doesn't know how to hate herself in her heart.

Gan Peilin smiled faintly, his face bright: "Good sister, look at what you said, how can I care." You are the most compatible with His Royal Highness King Shengqing. Naturally, it is to make a good story. ”

Gan Jilu's cheeks were slightly scarlet, and there was a little bit of light in her crying red eyes: "Sister Cheng's noble words, I hope that heaven will follow people's wishes." ”

"Alright, alright." Mrs. Gan breathed a sigh of relief at this time: "The other party is a princess, and His Royal Highness King Shengqing must protect him wholeheartedly." After all, when it comes to the relationship between the two countries, this thing is right. You don't have to worry about that. You are the daughter of Ganfu. ”

The last sentence contains a lot of meaning.

Gan Jilu nodded: "Grandmother's words, Jilu remembers." It's all bad for my grandmother, which annoys my grandmother. ”

"Okay, you go back and wash your face, get a good night's sleep, and don't think about it." Mrs. Gan smiled at her gently.

Mo Yanqing glanced at Gan Peilin with sharp eyes: "Mother, my daughter-in-law accompanied my sister-in-law to go back, so I retired first." ”

Seriously, Mo Yanqing's appearance of maintaining Gan Jilu can remind Gan Peilin of her mother. Every now and then, she always feels a little sour in her heart that is hard to say.

"Peilin." Mrs. Gan's voice was slightly cooler, and her tone was not as gentle as she had just now.

"Grandmother has something to say to Peilin?" She stepped forward and moved closer to Mrs. Gan.

"Ganfu has the rules of Ganfu, you are the eldest daughter. Even if King Shengqing proposes to Ganfu and asks to marry Ji Lu, her wedding date will be arranged after you. Mrs. Gan frowned slightly: "Your father is now out on a war and can't plan for you." If you have a good candidate, just tell your grandmother. Grandmother will be sure to prepare it for you. ”

"Thank you, grandmother, for your kindness." Gan Peilin shook his head a little disappointed: "Peilin hasn't ...... yet"

"The old lady of Mrs. Zhou's family came to the imperial city a few days ago and invited her to Zhou's mansion as a guest." Mrs. Gan raised her eyebrows slightly: "In two days, you will go with me." ”

"Yes." Gan Peilin didn't know which Zhou family his grandmother was talking about. I don't remember which Zhou family Gan Fu had any friendship with. Besides, grandmother didn't always want her to be closer to Jiang Yu, why did she change her mind temporarily?

Gan Peilin didn't ask much, and when he returned to the Star Tower from the Zen Heart Academy, he suddenly remembered that this Zhou's family should not be Zhou Yuanqi's family, right? Zhou Yuanqi has been married to the girl of the Qin family since he was a child, and he will not choose another wife at this time, so what is the intention of grandmother?
