Looking at the changes in the demeanor of the old lady and the old man Xu Yuanjiang, Xu Ruoqing already had two vague guesses in her heart.

So seeing this Wang's warning eyes, Xu Ruoqing was not angry but happy.

With a slight exclamation, Xu Ruoqing looked at Wang in surprise and said, "Aunt Wang, what are you talking about?" Heavenly Spirit Grass is so precious, how could I possibly have eaten it? ”

"Shut up! Xu Ruoqing! Wang didn't expect that this abandoned girl, who had always been cowardly and did not dare to resist, would rebel against her at this point.

Damn it! This Xu Ruoqing really ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts, and dared to say such things without listening to her threats.

"I treat you like my own daughter, and these medicinal herbs are also divided among you by the old lady and the old man! I send someone to send it to you every time, why don't you say no! ”

"Hmph, didn't you take the medicinal materials allocated to you by the mansion out of the mansion to sell them privately?"

The more Mrs. Wang spoke, the calmer she became. She felt that as long as she insisted on her own statement and blamed all the faults on Xu Ruoqing, she would be safe.

Thinking of this, Wang's tone became even tougher.

"Ruoqing, now that the old lady and the old man are listening, you should explain honestly by yourself."

"Enough!" The old lady's face was gloomy, "Today is a family banquet, what kind of noise is it like this!" ”

Looking at Wang and Xu Ruoqing coldly, the old lady held back the anger in her heart.

"Don't mention this matter now, I'll ask after the family banquet in a while."

"Yes, old lady.

"Yes, my granddaughter will definitely cooperate."

Wang bit her lip a little unwillingly, but she didn't dare to say anything more about the old lady's order.

Xu Ruoyan was thoughtful on the side. In the past, this old lady always wanted to understand this kind of thing related to the rights and interests of the house.

She also knew something about her mother's private seizure of medicinal herbs. This has already violated the old lady's bottom line, and it stands to reason that it is not so easy to suppress, but according to the current situation, it seems that there must be an inside story that is not clear to you.

At the moment when she heard the old lady say that she wanted to ask clearly, Xu Ruoqing knew that her first step had been successfully taken.

Although she really doesn't understand how the medicine has anything to do with her, it seems that the connection is quite large.

It's not fun to explore things without secrets.

At the dinner table, everyone finished the family banquet with different thoughts.

At the end of the banquet, the old lady really stopped Xu Ruoqing and Wang.

The old lady's courtyard is located in a better place in the Zhongshuling Mansion.

The cloister cornices, the pavilion flows.

The old lady, the Chinese scholar Ling Xu Yuanjiang, Wang, and Xu Ruoqing sat in the hall.

The old lady waved her hand to make all the maids in the hall retreat. Then he picked up the tea he had just served, gently plucked it twice with the lid of the cup, and took a sip.

"Wang, are you dissatisfied with my handling of the family banquet?"

Wang was taken aback and tried to calm down: "Old lady, how can it be? Fortunately, thanks to the old lady's handling, the family banquet went so smoothly, and I am ashamed to be ......."

"You're still a little introspective. But did you know that I didn't leave you for this purpose? ”

"I know ......"

"Did I ever tell you that you are not allowed to withhold Ruoqing's medicine?"

"Said ......"

"But you still moved your mind that shouldn't have been moved, and swallowed the medicine that should have belonged to Ruoqing's girl."

"Old lady, I don't! This is all Xu Ruoqing! ”

"Bang!"

The old lady put the teacup in her hand on the table with all her might.

Wang opened his mouth and did not say the next words.

"Wang Fen, are you fools to me and Yuanjiang!"

Wang's hand on his lap clenched.

"You can't tolerate Ruoqing, you've been mean to her all these years, and I've promised all this. But I have already made it clear to you, but you still turn a deaf ear. ”

"Are you, don't you take me seriously?"

Wang's hand on his lap clenched tighter, and his nails were almost embedded in the flesh of his palm.

Feeling the pain from the palm of his hand to the tip of his heart, Wang took a deep breath and said, "Old lady, you know that I respect you. That Xu Ruoqing, she is just an abandoned girl, how can she be qualified to enjoy such a precious medicine! ”

Wang stretched out a hand and pointed at Xu Ruoqing, who was sitting silently on the side, with a fierce look in his eyes.

With the skills of the old lady and the old man, she knew that it was useless for her to hide it now, so it was better to take advantage of this opportunity to ask the question that had been backlogged in her heart for a long time.

The old lady sneered, as if she knew that the Wang family would ask such a question, and was about to mention a few words.

Xu Yuanjiang gave the old lady a gesture and a look at him at this time, signaling for him to answer by himself.

"Fen'er, this is not something you can know."

Wang was silent, staring at Xu Yuanjiang's eyes and telling him that this was not the answer she wanted.

"What you did this time was too much, even if the waiter of the Ministry of Rites came forward, I'm afraid I can't forgive you." Ignoring Wang's questioning eyes, Xu Yuanjiang told the truth.

The Wang family was shocked in her heart, and even her mother's father could not forgive her mistakes...... What the hell is she .....

Wang looked at Xu Ruoqing in disbelief. Isn't this girl an abandoned girl who doesn't want to be a master......

She had always wondered why the mansion had allocated so much medicine to this abandoned girl, and she had only thought that it was to recuperate this concubine, who had been weak since birth, so as not to let her die so soon.

Later, I saw that this abandoned girl was jumping around, and I thought that even if I didn't have medicine, I could breathe a sigh of relief, so I gradually reduced the medicine allocated to her.

Wang's mind fluctuated, and she suddenly remembered a rumor in the mansion about Mrs. Zhengpai of Zhongshu Lingfu, as if she had understood something, Wang looked at Xu Yuanjiang in horror.

"The mistake has been forged and cannot be changed." Xu Yuanjiang said lightly. It's not that there is no chance of remedy, it's just that this Wang family needs to learn a lesson.

The old lady also looked at Wang with a cold face, and the anger in her heart did not subside.

Xu Ruoqing silently looked at everything in the room and lowered her eyes. She didn't understand what these people were saying.

I thought I could get more clues by coming in, but it seems that she actually got less than she thought.

A bunch of old foxes.

Let this Wang family's heart be turbulent, and the old lady no longer pays attention to her. turned to look at Xu Ruoqing.

"Ruoqing girl, grandma knows your inner doubts." The old lady looked kindly, "You don't know much about this, do you?" ”

Xu Ruoqing shrank her neck a little fearfully and replied, "Yes." ”

"After today's family feast, you will be almost 14 years old, and you will become a big girl. There are some things you should know. ”

"You have always wondered why the government keeps giving you so many medicines for you to eat, but not for other young masters. Grandma can only tell you that it's for your own good. ”

"This matter has to do with your mother. Leaving your mother a few years after you were born is also a pain in the hearts of me and your father. ”

“......”

Xu Ruoqing lowered her head and listened quietly to the old lady's statement.

In the old lady's statement, her mother had been infected with a strange poison in her early years, which had not been detected earlier, so she had a seizure a few years after giving birth to her.

As a daughter, she was also affected by some poison when she was in her mother's womb, so she needed various medicines made of natural treasures to regulate her body.

It stands to reason that after so many years of continuous purchase of so many heavenly and earthly treasures, even the Zhongshu Ling Mansion can't hold it, but the strange thing is that every year, unknown people send these heavenly and earthly treasures to the mansion, and the good name is to repay the kindness of Mrs. Zhongshuling that year.

Hearing the end, Xu Ruoqing was more calm and silent in her heart, but she still had to make a worried mother on her face.

"Old lady, what about her?"

"The poison has been hidden in her body for too long to be removed."

Xu Ruoqing bit her lip tightly, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing.

She believed the old lady's words. In the section she said before, she peeled back the cocoon, looking for real clues, but there were really not many.

The old lady sighed and said, "Ruoqing girl, in the end, it is still a little neglect of you in the house, which makes you look thin and weak now." ”

"Wang!" The old lady suddenly changed her words and said in a stern tone, "Do you know what's wrong?" ”

"I know I'm wrong."

"You have to pay back a lot of the bad treatment of Ruoqing girl over the years, including those medicines. Now that the end of the year is approaching, you have to hurry, you know? ”

"I see." Wang's face turned pale, and he unexpectedly did not refute.

Xu Ruoqing frowned slightly, always feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Not only is this old lady's words very strange, but what is even more suspicious is the attitude of this Wang family.

"It's just what you should repay, and I'll discuss the rest with the Ministry of Rites." Xu Yuanjiang waited for the old lady to finish speaking, and then continued to speak.

"Also, before the Yang Fire Festival, I won't allow Ruoqing to be treated unjustly anymore."

"Yes." Wang secretly gritted his silver teeth and could only respond.

When Xu Yuanjiang said this, it was equivalent to knowing everything she had done before. The reason why she is so tolerant now is only because of her mother's family.

Because she still has the value of being used.

Wang's heart was full of tears of bitterness, and she didn't know why it was like this. I don't understand why the man who was supposed to love her did this to her.

But if she had to choose again, she was afraid that she would do it again. She never regretted that choice.

"Okay, it's getting late, presumably Ruoqing is also tired, so let's go back and rest early."

Then, at the signal of the old lady, a maid pushed open the door and stepped forward.

"Second Miss, please go back with the slave."

Xu Ruoqing nodded, and after saying goodbye to the old lady, she returned to her courtyard with the bright maid.

Pushing open the door, I saw a worried Midori walking around the house.

Seeing that Xu Ruoqing finally came back, Xiao Lu immediately stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry so much." Pinching Xiao Lu's face, Xu Ruoqing smiled, "Your young lady is not so easy to bully now." ”

Xiao Lu breathed a sigh of relief and let Xu Ruoqing rub her face.

Xu Ruoqing looked at Xiao Lu's stupid and cute appearance, and felt that except for the mother who had not yet met in this house, Xiao Lu treated her so sincerely.

This feeling, she will remember.
