Chapter 402: Crazy
The Fang family was caught off guard in this incident.
By the time Mrs. Fang woke up and was in better spirits, and the entire Fang family had settled down under the old lady's rectification, it was already two days after the incident.
Mrs. Fang seemed to be more than ten years old all of a sudden, and her white hair sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Compared with Mrs. Fang, Fang Jingyan's situation is much better. Because no one dared to say what was happening outside in front of her, and the old lady had been comforting Fang Jingyan in her ear for the past two days, reassuring her that she would definitely let her join the Li family in peace and be her young grandmother.
But when a beautiful lie meets reality, it is shattered again. Fang Jingyan hadn't seen her mother for two days, and her grandmother had always come to see her, and she felt a little strange. went to find Mrs. Fang in the evening.
Of course, along the way, the people in the Earl's Mansion naturally didn't dare to look at Fang Jingyan's face under the old lady's tutelage. But when I arrived at Mrs. Fang's courtyard, I happened to hear the conversation between Mrs. Fang and the old lady, who had just gotten out of bed.
“…… Now it's all over! My poor Yan'er, what will I do in the future? Those who draw pictures and write poems should be cut by a thousand cuts! Mrs. Fang still couldn't help crying.
The old lady comforted: "Don't cry. It's going to get better, but what if it falls down again? Yan'er, let me think about it again, I won't allow her to be a concubine unless I have to. ”
The curtain of the door was slammed open, and Fang Jingyan's pale and bewildered face appeared in front of Mrs. Zai and Mrs. Fang: "What portrait?" What to be a concubine? Mother, grandmother. What are you talking about? ”
The old lady was startled, and turned her head to reprimand the person guarding the door outside. But I thought that I had something to discuss with my daughter-in-law just now, and I had sent all the attendants away, and there was no one at the door. And the people guarding the courtyard naturally didn't dare to stop Fang Jingyan from letting her in.
When Mrs. Fang saw Fang Jingyan, she couldn't help crying with sadness. Fang Jingyan looked at her mother who had not seen her for two days in disbelief, but she had already grown some gray hair on her head.
The old lady glared at Mrs. Fang. Glared at her. hurriedly came up again to pull Fang Jingyan.
"Good granddaughter, why did you come out? Didn't you tell you to have a good rest? You don't have to worry about the things outside. Where's your maid? Why don't you wait around? The old lady was a little weak-hearted, and she couldn't help but talk a lot.
Fang Jingyan shook her hand and avoided the old lady's hand. Turning his head to look at her, he stubbornly asked, "Grandmother, what is the portrait you just mentioned?" Who is going to be a concubine? ”
The smile on the old lady's face was a little stiff. However, she immediately adjusted her complexion, smiled and said to the other party: "Oh, your mother and I were just talking about your uncle's concubine." ”
Fang Jingyan suddenly burst into tears: "Grandmother, what happened?" Don't hide it from me anymore. If you don't tell me, I'll ask the maid outside. If they don't speak, I'll have them beat the board until they tell the truth. ”
"......" The old lady opened her mouth, but she really had no way to say it, so she couldn't help but avoid Fang Jingyan's gaze. In front of her children and grandchildren, the old lady is completely different from outside. Her momentum is not even as good as that of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fang.
Mrs. Fang cried and spoke: "Mother, what's the use of hiding it from her until now?" I had to let her know. This misfortune was also caused by her own lack of self-respect. And how? Yan'er, listen, the matter of your private meeting with that Li Yuan has spread outside the mansion, and I am afraid that your situation will be ...... in the future."
Before Mrs. Fang could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Fang Jingyan's screams.
Mrs. Fang and the old lady were taken aback by her. The old lady immediately hugged Fang Jingyan in a thousand ways, and shouted while comforting: "My son, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”
Fang Jingyan leaned on the old lady's arms, but said hysterically: "Where do I have a private meeting with someone?" If others don't believe me, even you don't believe me! That night, I just finished my meal and went for a walk in the garden. I didn't expect to meet Li Gongzi either. She just didn't know what her psychology was, so she didn't run away immediately.
"We only spoke a few words, and suddenly we heard someone coming, and for fear of being seen and misunderstood, we hid in the rockery."
"Don't cry, don't cry, grandmother believes in you." The old lady hugged the person, and she was distressed to death. No matter what Fang Jingyan said, she believed it.
Mrs. Fang sat at the head of the bed, but she was a little skeptical when she heard this: "What about your maid?" Why is it just you? Didn't a maid beside him follow? ”
Fang Jingyan calmed down a little and sobbed: "I went for a walk in the garden, and I always only brought two maids to serve, this is something that everyone in the house knows." But when I got to the garden, a maid saw that I was thinly dressed, and that the wind was blowing again in the evening, so she turned back and brought me a cloak. After that, I met two little maids who came to the garden to pick flowers, I saw a few maids talking behind and didn't care, who knew that I was left alone while walking, the maids were gone, and I was afraid to come, so I saw Li Gongzi. ”
"Gone?" Mrs. Fang was stunned.
Fang Jingyan nodded: "She was led by two little maids to look at the flowers, and when she didn't pay attention to it, I was separated." ”
"How can such a thing happen? Why didn't you say it earlier? "Mrs. Fang felt that something was wrong, where was this kind of coincidence? The two maids were gone.
"Yan'er, is there someone who deliberately harms you?" Old Madam Fang was also suspicious.
Fang Jingyan opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, her face turned red first.
She actually felt strange at the time, but after seeing Li Gongzi, she realized that her maid just now was deliberately led away by the two little maids bought by Li Gongzi. Li Gongzi also admitted this himself. At that time, although she was also very angry in her heart, there were still some inexplicable emotions in it.
Fang Jingyan didn't know if she really liked Li Yuan, but every time she thought that Li Yuan was Fang Jingyi's future husband, somehow she was very happy in her heart.
When the Lady of the Earl's Court was still alive, even the old lady who is now has to stand aside. That's the real ancestor. But this old ancestor has only one Fang Jingyi in his heart, and he is very cold to her, who is also a granddaughter. From childhood to adulthood, she was envious and jealous.
In addition to longing for his great-grandmother, he also complained.
And this future husband of Fang Jingyi, who was chosen by her great-grandmother, liked herself. This greatly satisfied her vanity.
Seeing Li Gongzi currying favor in front of herself, just begging herself to look at him more, she didn't want to push people away. Sometimes it's so strange, something may not be really that good, but because it belongs to someone else, especially someone you envy or envy or hate, it will increase its value for no reason.
To put it bluntly, this Fang Jingyan fell in love with Li Gongzi without seeing it, she just wanted to make Fang Jingyi sad, but she didn't want to be sad in the end, but she became herself.
Mrs. Fang and Old Madam Fang were so angry that they couldn't say a word when they heard Fang Jingyan say that Li Yuan deliberately lured the maid away. If it weren't for the Li family's face, they would have even tore Li Yuan's heart. The culprit is him!
"Tomorrow someone will come and carry him back, no, let him go today." Mrs. Fang gritted her teeth and said.
The old lady stopped Mrs. Fang: "The matter has come to this, what can I do if I let him go?" In the future, we will always have to be involved with the Li family, so let's save some face. Besides, he's already injured, where can he be sent? The old lady said and glanced at Fang Jingyan, and reminded Mrs. Fang that Fang Jingyan would also enter the Li family in the future, no matter how much they hated Li Yuan and ruined Fang Jingyan's reputation, the matter had come to this point, but they couldn't do anything to him.
Mrs. Fang naturally understood this truth, and what she just said was just angry words. At this time, it is impossible to really drive Li Yuan out of the house, otherwise I am afraid that the rumors outside will become more and more ugly.
"Grandmother, mother, I'll ...... later. What to do in the future? Fang Jingyan's mood has stabilized, but she is still full of anxiety about her future, so she is very uneasy.
The old lady's heart seemed to have been stripped of a piece, and she was so uncomfortable that she was going to die.
"Don't be afraid, Yan'er, the matter has come to this point, grandmother will definitely want you to marry the Li family in a beautiful way." The old lady was as soothing as ever.
Fang Jingyan set her eyes on her mother again.
Mrs. Fang thought about it, but sighed and said, "Mother doesn't lie to you, the current situation ...... If you want to be a wife, I'm afraid it's difficult. Let's not say that Li Yuan has a marriage contract with Jingyi in advance. It is...... The Li family will not let Li Yuan marry another person casually. ”
Mrs. Fang's ideal is that now that Fang Jingyan's reputation is like this, how could the Li family let Li Yuan marry her? It's just that she still can't bear to say it.
Fang Jingyan understood, she had no way to accept the news with a white face.
Fang Jingyi...... Fang Jingyi...... It's her again! How is it always her? Fang Jingyan pushed the old lady away, shook her head and muttered.
The old lady was shocked: "Yan'er-"
Fang Jingyan turned a deaf ear, turned around and ran outside.
"Yan'er, where are you going? Stop her, stop her! "Mrs. Fang screamed hysterically, but the old lady had already sent everyone away, where was there anyone coming?
After the old lady was taken aback, when she saw Mrs. Fang in such a hurry, she also remembered: Yan'er can't think about it, she has to do something stupid, right?
She couldn't help but turn white, and while chasing outside, she didn't forget to scold her daughter-in-law: "You did a good deed!" I'll settle accounts with you when I chase Yan'er back! (To be continued)
