After a long time, the girl's crying stopped for a while, and Wan Shi sighed heavily and said, "Rui'er, my uncle and grandmother should have told you what you should pay attention to, how to do it, and how to live here...... The day after you came, my uncle and grandmother told you everything, didn't they? ”

Xue Rui sobbed and said, "Yes, uncle and grandmother, Rui'er knows that she is wrong. It's just that the grandmother ...... her."

"Let's not talk about your grandma yet." Wan Shi interrupted her, raised his hand and pressed the corner of his forehead, his face full of exhaustion: "Just talk about you, how do you want to make yourself like this?" ”

Xue Rui raised his head on the ground and looked at Wan Clan mournfully.

Under the messy hair, her facial features have been hidden, and only her skin is bright and snowy, and her jaw is sharp.

Yu's gaze swept over her, and a trace of pity instantly crossed her face.

Judging from the color and contour of her complexion alone, she, the niece on the outside, is far superior to all the girls in this house.

It's a pity that the body is already dirty.

"I know, grandmother." Xue Rui's voice trembled very much, but she still tried her best to make every word clear: "It's just that Grandma has only been beaten ten boards, and now the injury has not healed, and a new injury has been added, and she will burn early this morning and start talking nonsense, I ......"

"You want to find a doctor, I know that." Wan cut off her voice for the second time, put down the hand that stroked her forehead, lifted the handkerchief to cover her lips, and coughed softly a few times.

Seeing this, Yu on the side carefully took a cover cup from the hand of the maid next to him, offered it with both hands, and said softly: "Old lady, drink ginseng soup." ”

Wan Shi lowered his head and drank the ginseng soup with Yu's hand, and then wiped his lips with a handkerchief, and his voice became more and more tired: "Ah Rui, I know that you have always been close to your grandmother, which is understandable. But why did you rush ahead? ”

Her voice was not harsh, but the eyes that looked at Xue Rui were extremely cold: "Do you know what day it is?" Do you know who you are? ”

Xue Rui's body shrank obviously, and her voice lowered: "I...... I know. As she spoke, she raised her head again, and tried her best to argue, "But ...... But my grandmother burned so badly that I begged my mothers outside, but they all said they were not free today. ”

"They are right, from the morning until the end of the day, there are not enough people in this house." Wan's voice didn't rise and fall, just like her cold face: "Even if you live in a different place, but in terms of food and clothing, I don't owe you too much." ”

As she said this, she stretched out a well-maintained hand and nodded around: "Look up yourself, and see what is wrong with you, the furnishings, the curtains, and the bedding?" When you came, you had a few clothes, and you had nothing, all of which were arranged by your uncle and grandmother, and for fear that you would not be used to living, I also plucked half of my own charcoal for you, and you said, what am I for? ”

At this point, a deep color suddenly crossed her eyes, and her voice suddenly rose: "Am I just asking you to slap me in the face in front of the guests today?" ”

Before she could say anything, she was already coughing violently, and Yu Shi on the side hurriedly stepped forward to calm her down.

Xue Rui knelt on the ground, trembling slightly, her hands clashing at the ground, her face so white that there was no trace of blood.

After coughing for a while, Wan Shi relieved himself and said again: "I ask myself if I treat you well, in addition to these things to eat, your grandmother is old, and she should have been sent to the outer gate, and even more so to be sent to Zhuangzi for the elderly." Just because I saw that you couldn't live without her, I allowed her to live with you, take care of your daily life, and let you have a caring person to accompany you. ”

Her face was not pale, and she turned into a deep heartache: "I have done everything I should do, and my uncle and grandmother are also responsible." But what about you? Have you ever thought about your uncle's and grandmother's suffering? Ever thought about the face of your uncle and grandmother? Have you ever thought about the lintel of Uncle Zhongyong's house? ”

She seemed to be getting angrier and angrier the more she spoke, a flush broke out on her cheeks, and she said in a trembling voice: "This is the first time this year that our mansion has been entertained, do you know how difficult it is for the prefect's wife, who only arrived last year, to be invited?" Now that people are willing to appreciate their faces, the first one went to our family's banquet, you say, should you show up at this time? ”

Xue Rui's head had been completely lowered, as if it would be lowered into the dust in the next moment.

This sentence after sentence was like a steel whip on her body, making her face like ashes.

Her head hung almost to the ground, but her eyes flashed with unwilling flames, and the hand holding the ground was too hard, and the fingertips were worn out, and the blood stains seeped into the green bricks.

"Don't be angry, old lady, beware of hurting yourself." Yu Shi persuaded in a low voice, turned to Xue Rui, and said softly: "You kid too, knowing that there is a banquet in the mansion today, you should stay in the courtyard alive." If it weren't for Fang Caijiang's mother and their quick hands, I am afraid that you will collide with the distinguished guests, and at that time, what will be the face of our uncle's mansion? ”

Xue Rui's body moved, as if she was about to get up, but her body was still firmly pressed by someone, and she couldn't move, so she had to whisper: "Uncle and grandmother forgive me, Ah Rui knows that she is wrong." ”

"If you know something, you should take care of the face of our uncle." Wan's voice was extremely flat, so there was a kind of bitter coldness: "Even if you don't care about Bofu's face, you have so many sisters and sisters, you can't bear to let them be burdened by you?" ”

Xue Rui's body trembled violently, and a deep resentment crossed her lowered face.

Yu Shi had already seen that her fingers were worn out at this time, and she seemed to be unbearable, so she turned around and persuaded: "Old lady, tell Rui girl to get up and talk." ”

Wan frowned, noncommittal.

Yu waved to the mother-in-law: "You go down and wait first." ”

Those mothers-in-law should have said yes, but their eyes only looked at Wan, and their bodies were motionless.

It wasn't until Wan Shi said "hmm" in a low voice that the mothers-in-law let go of Xue Rui and retreated outside the house to listen.

Soon there were only three people left in the room, one sitting, one standing, one kneeling.

Yu slowly lowered his head and tidied up his clothes.

At that moment, no one saw the self-deprecation in the depths of her eyes.

As the mother of a house, she can't even support a few of the most inferior mothers-in-law, who will believe it?

"Uncle Xie's grandmother, Xie's cousin." Xue Rui was still holding her hands on the ground, and her voice was extremely humble.

This attitude seemed to please Wan's, and she nodded with satisfaction: "This is a good boy who knows the rules." After speaking, he leisurely fiddled with the Jinpa in his hand and asked, "Do you have anything to do?" ”

"Yes, Uncle Grandmother." Xue Rui's voice was a little more eager, but her voice was still low, and her attitude was still humble: "Please send a message from my grandmother and call a doctor to take a look at my grandmother." ”
