Chapter 43: Frightened
"This rain is annoying, and I feel tired and panicked, but I didn't expect the old sister to come, which makes me happy." Old Lady Xie held the maid's hand and came out of the back room, and smiled and asked Old Lady Mo and Mo Li to sit down quickly, and asked people to serve tea and fruit.
"Ben also thought about coming back after the rain stopped in two days, but this girl said that it was just right to come over today, saying that you might be looking forward to it." Old Mrs. Mo smiled, and asked Mo Li to send the things, and then continued, "I thought about it, on this rainy day, whoever stays at home is bored, so it is better to come out and run around the door, and I just got a few jars of fresh raspberry jam from Foguang Temple yesterday, thinking that you also like to eat this, so I brought some to you by the way." ”
After Mrs. Xie suddenly heard the three words of Foguang Temple, the smile on her face froze slightly for a moment, just at this time, Mo Li got up and handed over the raspberry jam in her hand, and looked at Mrs. Xie and smiled implicitly: "It's not a good thing, don't dislike it." ”
Old Mrs. Xie came back to her senses and hurriedly asked the maid to take it: "Look at what I said, there are still a few people here who can have this heart, and I really haven't eaten this for a while." Old Lady Xie pulled Mo Li to sit down next to her as she spoke, and then asked Old Lady Mo, "Old sister went to Foguang Temple yesterday?" ”
"No, it was this girl who suddenly became hungry a few days ago, and she grinded me hard, so I asked her to let the guys at home prepare some gifts and go to the temple to live for two days, and then help the monks of the temple pick raspberries by the way, so that I can get these things." Old Mrs. Mo smiled as she spoke, then looked at Mo Li and added, "This girl, when I rarely see her so greedy, I have to rely on her this time." ”
Mo Li lowered his eyes and said embarrassedly: "Actually, when I went to the street with red beans to buy candied fruit that day, I happened to meet Yang Gongzi chatting with people in that store, and talked about the raspberry jam in the Foguang Temple, so I remembered it." ”
However, Mrs. Xie was taken aback when she heard this, but Mrs. Mo was stunned, so she said: "Oh, it turns out that you went out that day to meet the child of the Yang family, why didn't you come back and hear you talk about it." ”
Mo Li paused first, and her face showed a little embarrassment, but it just so happened that the maid of Xie Mansion presented tea to Mo Li, blocking Old Lady Mo's sight, so the expression on her face at this moment was clear only to Old Lady Xie.
After Mo Li took the teacup, her face returned to normal, and then she chuckled and said, "It's not an important matter, what is worth saying." ”
Seeing Mo Li's faint look, Mrs. Mo thought that her granddaughter was unhappy about the Yang family's resignation, and she didn't want to mention it, and this was in the Xie family, so she didn't ask more. But Mrs. Xie had another thought in her heart, Mo Li actually met Yang Ming during this time, and then the Mo family asked the family to go to Foguang Temple, you must know that her Xie family's Slender Lake Courtyard is next to Foguang Temple. A little night ago, the matter of the four girls just fell, and today they braved the rain to visit, could it be that they know something!? Otherwise, why did this Mo girl show such a demeanor just now, but then cover it up?
It's really said that you don't do bad things, and you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.
The more Mrs. Xie thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, after all, there was no impermeable wall in this world. Mrs. Yang's status in her heart has dropped again and again, and Yang Ming has already become an unreliable person because of the matter of the jade pendant last time, so if this matter is really accidentally revealed by Yang Ming, Mrs. Xie feels that it is completely possible.
Old Mrs. Xie's face was impassive, her heart quietly turned a few times, then she glanced at Mo Li, and then smiled at Old Madam Mo: "I really regret that I didn't make a decision with my old sister earlier, but now such a good person is from another family." ”
Old Mrs. Mo was a little uncomfortable on her face and didn't want to talk about it, so she only smiled on her face and didn't answer, and Mo Li also lowered her face appropriately and didn't squeak. So the attitude of the grandparents and grandchildren made Mrs. Xie even more suspicious, could it be that she really knew something, so she came to the door today?
I want to ask, but it's hard to speak, and I'm worried that if I make a mistake, it will be self-defeating.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Mrs. Mo also noticed it, so she smiled and turned away: "Why didn't you look at your daughters-in-law today?" ”
Mrs. Xie smiled slightly: "On this rainy day, they mostly stay in their own courtyard, and I am impatient to have so many people around me all the time, and it is enough to have maids and wives to serve on weekdays." ”
Old Madam Mo nodded: "Yes, I see that the third and fourth grandmothers in the house are not very old, and it is estimated that there will not be much time to marry into this house, and the time to follow you will be even less." However, the second grandmother will follow you for a longer time, and when I came over on the day of the birthday banquet, I saw that you and the two daughters-in-law were thoughtful in everything, and the people were kind, which made me envious. ”
Mrs. Mo suddenly mentioned the Yan family, Mrs. Xie was shocked again, she looked at Mrs. Mo carefully, but the more she couldn't see anything, the more suspicious she became, so she had to smile and say: "Lili and her mother are not also the best, although you and I have broken off contact over the years, but your daughter-in-law I used to look very good, not only good looks and docile, but the most rare thing is that she knows how to be filial." ”
Old Mrs. Mo nodded, glanced at Mo Li, and it was inconvenient to say clearly, so she only sighed: "It's good, but you don't know what is in my heart." ”
Mrs. Xie was stunned, and pondered for a long time before turning a corner from the thing she was worried about, and it was easy to remember that Mrs. Mo didn't have a grandson by her side now, so she hurriedly comforted: "This matter is not in a hurry, maybe I will hear good news next year." ”
"It's also my fault, Lili's mother didn't keep her first child back then, and then she ......" Mrs. Mo sighed again, "I've always thought about it all these years, if that child was saved back then, I don't know what the situation is now, it is estimated that even the great-grandson can run and jump." ”
Old Madam Xie suddenly felt that her temples twitched, and her forehead began to swell, every word that Old Madam Mo said today seemed to mean something. Starting from this raspberry jam, everything that goes on sounds inseparable from Xie Yueniang.
Mrs. Xie pondered for a long time, and then glanced to the side, and the old lady who was waiting on the side understood, that is, let the maids in the house withdraw. Mo Li glanced at it, and her face was still silent, until Old Lady Xie coughed lightly and opened her mouth to say, "Old sister......"
"Grandma Xie is not feeling well, why does her face look not very good!" Mo Li didn't wait for her to finish, so she hurriedly said a word of concern and interrupted her at the right time.
Mrs. Mo just looked at Mrs. Xie and suddenly asked the maids in the house to withdraw, and she was puzzled, she heard Mo Li say this, so she looked at Mrs. Xie carefully, and really found that Mrs. Xie's face was not very good, so she said: "Yo, it's true, I just patronized and thought about my own business, and I didn't pay attention." ”
After this interruption, Mrs. Xie's heart that she wanted to ask clearly was also vented, so she had to say a few perfunctory words. Mrs. Mo only thought that she was unwell in the past few days, and she was a little rash to come to visit today, disturbing people's rest. Besides, now that Mrs. Xie is rich and noble, she can't run back and forth anywhere, so she cared a few words, so she asked Mo Li to get up and say goodbye, and said that she would come to visit another day when the weather was better.
Old Madam Xie didn't have much heart to keep people, she just wanted to call Yan back immediately at the moment, and ask what was going on, whether she really leaked the news!
However, when Mrs. Xie sent Mo Li and Mrs. Mo out of the door of the hall, Mo Li took advantage of the maid in front of her to help Mrs. Mo, turned around and whispered to Mrs. Xie: "Grandma Xie, don't worry, my grandma doesn't know about that yet." ”
Old Mrs. Xie gasped in shock, Mo Li just lowered her eyes aggrieved and helplessly, and then said loudly: "It's cold outside, Grandma Xie doesn't need to send it." After speaking, he turned around and grabbed Mrs. Mo's arm, and followed the maid of Xie Mansion out, but Mrs. Xie was stunned for a while and did not come back to her senses.
After getting into his carriage, Mo Li lifted the curtains and glanced at the wind and rain outside.
The unexpected encounter with Yang Ming a few days ago was secretly arranged by Li Yue'er. And she and Yang Ming just said a few polite words at that time, but under her intentional traction, they took advantage of the birthday banquet of Xie Mansion some time ago to point the conversation to the Xie family. Therefore, even if Mrs. Yang asks about it, and then it reaches the ears of Yan and Mrs. Xie through Mrs. Yang's mouth, even if they tell the truth word for word, both parties will definitely suspect that the other party is hiding something.
What kind of ending will be the two parties who distrust each other, coupled with ambiguous words?
There was a hint of ridicule in Mo Li's eyes, Mrs. Xie must have concluded that the reason why she knew about this was because of the Yang family's weak relationship, and the Yang family insisted on climbing this family under the attitude of the Xie family who was so dissatisfied, can the future road really go as desired?
Mo Li lowered his eyes: Xie family, I will give you a favor, and I will not make your hundred-year-old family lose face. So this matter, whether it is in reason or emotionally, your Xie family owes me the Mo family. The dirty things that I did at home, but in the end, my Mo family helped cover it up, and you have to accept such a favor.
Not long after, the carriage stopped at the door of Mo's house, Hongdou got out of the car with an umbrella, and just helped Mrs. Mo down, Mo Li leaned out, and before he could go down, a car chased after him.
As soon as the carriage stopped, a well-dressed mother-in-law came down, and when Mrs. Mo saw it, it was the grandmother beside Mrs. Xie. I saw that the mother-in-law first smiled and nodded at Mrs. Mo, and then turned to Mo Li, who was still in the car, and said, "Miss Mo, my old lady just forgot something, and she will only remember it, so let the old lady come over and ask the girl to come over again." ”
