When Song Luoyan heard this, she was embarrassed: "Time is too tight, I don't have time to exchange news with my brother, I hurriedly discussed it with the left and right before I started, I felt that the Su family had been powerful before, and I pulled over the servants such as Pu's mother, we don't know the specific situation of Jiangnan Hall, the Su family must be clear - how can we take this opportunity to let the Su family help us get everything back!" ”

Of course, the so-called "take it all back" is unlikely to be fully realized, after all, they don't know what Jiangnantang has at all, right?

What's more, they didn't dare to take Su Bofeng seriously, after all, the Song family's side branch was now not qualified to really turn against the Su family.

At most, it is to take this opportunity to knock the Su family on the line.

"It's good that you know what to do!" Song Yixiao also knows that in this kind of situation where they have scruples about each other and can't be ruthless, how much advantage they can take depends on the level of negotiation between the two sides.

And her purpose, the benefits from the Su family are secondary, mainly to repay the beating before the recovery of Shaoge, is that after listening to what the clan sister said, she pondered a little, and said slowly, "The Song family has really had a bad fate in recent years, and the heirs are out of power at this time, but fortunately, there are you by your side." But there are some opportunities, but after this village, there will be no such shop, not to mention that although Xuan'er is raised under my knees, in the end, it is your blood and blood - I believe you should know what to do for his sake. ”

Song Luoyan even claimed that it was, and when she saw that Song Yixiao had nothing else to say, she said goodbye.

She only left on the front foot, and the bell on the back foot came in to say that Jian Xubai had come back with the old lady Duanmu.

Song Yixiao hurriedly got up and went to the second gate to greet her, but before she was discharged from the hospital, she saw Ji Su trotting over.

Seeing Song Yi smiling, he hurriedly came up and bowed, and said with a smile: "Grandma, where are you going?" ”

"I asked this, I heard that my husband came back with my grandmother, where else can I go now?" Song Yixiao's heart moved when he heard this, he stood still, and said with a smile, "Naturally, I went to greet them." ”

"The slave guessed that was it!" Ji Su said with a smile, "But grandma is filial, but the old lady and the Hou Ye are also concerned about you!" The old lady just said, this is windy and snowy, and you are pregnant, so don't toss back and forth, and stay in the house, and Ming'er will go to Guansong Xiaozhu to talk to her old man's house - Hou Ye will come over later! ”

"What did the husband do when he went out today?" Song Yixiao heard this, and didn't say yes or no, just looked at his expression, and chuckled, "If you tell me, I won't go." ”

In fact, why did the old lady Duanmu send Ji Su to stop her from passing, she knew very well in her heart: after all, she had just returned to the mansion in vain, and I heard that the old lady Duanmu insisted on going to the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and before she could sit down, she chased after her feet - this time the two grandchildren and grandchildren came back, although they didn't know what the experience was like in the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, how could they not need to have a good talk?

I will go over and greet them, although it is a matter of duty, but I will delay them from speaking.

Song Yixiao didn't intend to be uninteresting, but during this time, the husband and wife went their own way, and they also needed to talk about it - now Jian Xubai had to take care of the old lady Duanmu first, Song Yixiao had nothing to do, and it happened that Ji Su came over to pass the word, so he naturally asked him by the way.

When she was interrogating Ji Su here, Jian Xubai was pushing Old Lady Duanmu into the hall of Guansong Xiaozhu.

The henchman looked at them with some worry and some reassurance, and under the frowning glance of the old lady Duanmu, she bent her knees, withdrew silently, and closed the door.

"Where the child is good at making claims, I hope that my grandmother will punish me!" There are only two grandchildren left in the room, Jian Xubai didn't say a word, knelt down in his robe, kowtowed and pleaded guilty, "No matter how grandmother punishes the child, the child is willing!" I just hope that my grandmother will be able to calm her anger, so as not to hurt her body! ”

The old lady Duanmu looked coldly at his kneeling figure on the ground - to be honest, when she knew what Jian Xubai did in private, the old lady was really angry!

I am afraid that he will be soft-hearted and let his years of hard work be ruined; I am afraid that he will be self-righteous and spoil the good future he has arranged for him.

However, after Song Yixiao's mediation in the middle, although the old lady Duanmu was still in a bad mood, she reflected on it alone because she felt that she was at a loss, and she was a little unhappy at the moment.

So he frowned for a long time, snorted coldly, and said, "Get up and talk!" ”

Jian Xubai thought that she was still angry, so she refused to get up, kowtowed again, and said more and more earnestly: "Please let my grandmother calm her anger!" ”

"If I'm still angry with you, I won't go back to this Yanhou Mansion with you!" Old Mrs. Duanmu said angrily, "Everything has been done, and the wood is done!" What kind of filial son and grandson are you pretending to be with me now?! ”

Speaking of which, seeing that Jian Xubai was still hesitant, it seemed that she was a little unsure whether she really didn't care - the old lady saw this situation, and her heart ached: If it weren't for the fact that the ancestors and grandchildren had been separated for many years, so that although they were related by blood, they had only met in the past two years, how could their own relatives and grandsons not even be able to figure out their own temper?

Thinking like this, the old lady's heart softened, and she said in a gentle tone, "What are you kneeling in the winter?" Kneel down again and you'll let me out!" ”

Jian Xubai breathed a sigh of relief and got up according to his words.

When he was raised by the Empress Dowager before, although the Empress Dowager had ulterior motives for his upbringing, it was precisely because of this ulterior motive that he was very spoiled. So he noticed that the old lady Duanmu was not particularly angry, so he became lively, personally stepped forward to make tea for the old lady, and said with a smile: "Of course the child is not a real filial son!" People say that loving mothers are more defeated, you and your father are both kindly elders, you say that children are not angry, but there is no way? ”

Old Mrs. Duanmu laughed angrily: "You are not filial and complain about us?!" ”

"What's the blame for you two?" Jian looked at her face blankly, quietly moved his steps, rubbed behind her, squeezed her shoulders, and said with a smile while pinching, "Speaking of which, the reason why I dare to hide from you this time is that I don't know that you won't really care about me?" If the people below didn't know this, how would they listen to me? What can I do in that case? ”

"You didn't use all the manpower I and your father gave you this time, did you?" Old Madam Duanmu let him pinch his shoulders, glanced at him obliquely, and said expressionlessly, "Otherwise, I won't be able to guard against you, and I can still be hidden by you?!" ”

Jian smiled and vaguely asked the question: "I can't hide anything from you - speaking of which, you are going to soak your feet?" I just came back from outside, but don't get cold! ”

"Call the people below to serve at night!" Old Madam Duanmu was very satisfied with his attitude, but, "You have to pinch my shoulders or something, there are people who come to wash your feet, and I am only one of your grandsons, how can I let you do such a thing?" ”

"It is a matter of course to serve your own parents, what is there to be noble or low?" Jian Xubai didn't care much about this, not to mention that he was trying his best to make the old lady happy, so he said, "Let's talk ...... again."

Who knew that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old lady who suddenly changed color: "Don't tell me, the Qiu family and the two sluts of the Jin Kingdom asked you to wash their feet before?!" ”

Seeing that the old lady was almost crazy, Jian Xubai hurriedly reassured: "No, no!" Grandmother, you don't know, they want to raise me to be innocent and squeamish, so of course there are a bunch of people around me, how can I serve them by myself? ”

Speaking of this, I saw that the old lady's face was still gloomy, so she said with a clear conscience, "Speaking of which, I haven't pinched their shoulders a few times!" ”

Old Madam Duanmu snorted and said, "After so many years, it is the first time that I have enjoyed the service of my grandson!" ”

Jian Xubai's lips moved when he heard this, but he didn't ask: Since you want your grandson to serve so much, why didn't you tell me the truth earlier?!

But looking at the old lady's old appearance, he sighed secretly and decided not to say anything.

No matter who is right or wrong, it is not interesting to care about it when it comes to this day - why bother asking it to make the old man sad?

But he didn't plan to care about the past, and the old lady was silent for a while, but asked, "When did you get started?" ”

“…… It's only been a few months. Jian Xubai gave her the hand to squeeze her shoulder, and Fang said calmly, "That time I told Shanyao about things, and Shanyao said that she heard Xuepei talk about my biological mother, which was inconsistent with the answer my father told me. But when I went to ask you, you wouldn't tell me! ”

Old Madam Duanmu was stunned: "So you decided to check it yourself?" But how did you find out about my plan? Who revealed such important news to you? Lu Qinghong? Or is it your dad? ”

"I didn't think to look up my background." Jian Xubai considered the wording, "Because I knew at that time that Shanyao's relaying of Xue Pei's words was true. ”

Old Madam Duanmu frowned: "Why?" ”

"Because you won't tell me anything." Jian Xubai chuckled, "I think there are two possibilities: one is that you don't think it's time to tell me the truth; The second truth is something you don't want to talk about. This kind of speculation is based on the fact that you have no ill will towards me, but I think that even if you have just returned to the imperial capital, you have been estranged from Yanhou Mansion for a while, but you really have no ill will towards me. ”

When the old lady heard this, she was not moved by her grandson's trust in her, but sighed: "Do you think I have no ill will towards you, but because when you were poisoned in Wuhuan, I sent someone to detoxify you?" You are so naïve, as the saying goes, if you want to take it, you must give it first, if I am not your grandmother, I can't say that I have another plan to save you in the first place? People's hearts are unpredictable, not everyone who has helped you will definitely be good to you! ”

She was thinking that this grandson was really naïve, but she heard Jian say in vain: "Grandmother misunderstood!" I thought my grandmother had no ill will towards me, not only because she had saved me, but also because she didn't say anything to me – and if she had bad intentions about me, you could have made up a perfunctory statement to mislead me. But you know that I am suspicious but you still refuse to say a word, so I know that you have no ill will towards me. ”

Old Madam Duanmu was stunned.

After a while, she smiled dumbly and said, "Am I showing my own flaws?" ”

I don't know what kind of mood she was feeling, the old lady shook her head and wondered, "You think I have no ill will towards you, and then why do you want to change my plan and make me angry?" ”

"Does my grandmother think that I am suspicious and distrustful of you by making an assertion this time?" Jian sighed in vain and said helplessly, "I just want to share your worries - I didn't know what you wanted to do at that time, but I always felt that you didn't tell me anything, just to protect me, but I'm not a child anymore, how can I continue to hide behind, look at your age, and charge ahead?" ”

When he said this, because he was standing behind the old lady and pinching her shoulders, the old lady could not see his expression.

But with the experience of the old lady, how can she not hear that these words are actually half-truths and half-truths?

Jian Xubai may really have the idea of sharing her worries, but more importantly, she must be unwilling to accept her arrangement, right?

After all, he is a man who has become a father, let him follow the will of the elders like a puppet, even if the elders are well-intentioned - anyone with a little self-esteem must have an opinion.

And to put it simply, he thinks that Old Lady Duanmu doesn't tell him anything, but it is a sign that there is no malice towards him, in fact, he really has no idea and is not dissatisfied with such a practice?

It's just that he doesn't want to say it!

"No wonder this kid just said so simply to let Jin Guo die!" Old Lady Duanmu thought in a complicated mood, "It turns out that he doesn't care about the past at all—so he doesn't even bother to question me now, and he doesn't bother to tell him about the pain and shock of hearing the truth at first glance after all these years of being concealed!" He...... The reason why he is trying to please me is just to go through the motions and let things pass! ”

Hatred welled up in her heart—she knew why the painful memories she couldn't forget were light and light for Jian Xubai!

The reason why Jian Xubai and the Lord of Yishui have never gotten along is just one of them!

The most important thing is that he has been raised under the knees of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and the empress dowager over the years...... There has never been a lack of maternal love.

Even if those two may not have good intentions towards him, whether they are in front of or behind, they have given him enough favor and favoritism.

Jian Xubai, who grew up in this situation, how could he have a deep desire and affection for his "mother"?!

And since he doesn't particularly need a "mother", how can he have intense emotions towards a biological mother he has never seen?

There is no need to look back, Old Lady Duanmu also knows that Jian Xubai's eyes must be calm at this moment.

Those grievances, those past events, those pain and hatred engraved into the depths of the soul, those despair and regret...... It is the old lady Duanmu, it is Jian Limiao, and it is also the empress dowager and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom.

But no, it's plain.

This young marquis is like a newborn tree in the field in spring, no matter how many years of grass and trees have sunk in the soil and fertility under his feet, but he has not yet gone through the autumn wind and winter snow, his upright body is full of vitality, without any scars.

And he wanted the clear sky above him, but he didn't care about the darkness and complexity of the ground beneath his feet.

Old Mrs. Duanmu squeezed the armrest of her wheelchair, and suddenly didn't know whether she should continue to hate the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom?

It is true that these two people raised Jian Xubai so that they could treat the revenge of killing their mother lightly, but it was precisely because of their practice that Jian Xubai did not have to be like Old Lady Duanmu and Jian Limiao, immersed in the grief of the death of the county lord of Yishui, even if they took revenge on the entire royal family, they would continue to suffer that kind of spiritual torture day after day - Old Lady Duanmu knew too well that kind of powerless pain!

And Jian Xubai, her only adult daughter and only heir, if she also suffered the same torture because she valued the death of the county lord of Yishui, would she feel relieved to the old lady Duanmu?

If there is a spirit under the spring of the lord of Yishui County, according to her temperament, she must rather forget her and be indifferent to her, rather than be sad and sad for her for the rest of her life, right?

"That's it!" Old Madam Duanmu thought about it, and suddenly burst into tears, crying and laughing, "You don't have to tell me anything, and I won't ask you these things again!" ”

——Born in Jinxiutang, one of the six valves in China, there was a girlhood that was envied by tens of thousands of people, and she was married to the nephew of the founding king, and she had such a brilliant first half of her life, but the second half of her life was tormented by the loss of her relatives one after another.

first sent away his parents, then one son after another, followed by his sister and daughter, and even his only grandson could not be raised by his side......

If it weren't for the two hatreds between her sister and her daughter that were too heavy and deep, to the point that the old lady Duanmu was unwilling to give up, most of the old lady would have followed the husband she didn't love but stayed with for decades when the Chengyang Mansion was destroyed.

Now that the enemies have been avenged one after another, she has also entered her old age.

Looking back on this life, the days of flowers are short to trance, like an unreal dream at midnight, sometimes the old lady will wonder if she has never had such a carefree time?

The thorns and darkness, intrigues and calculations that followed ran through most of her life - Old Lady Duanmu thought about her fate a lot, some of her wishes were fulfilled, and some of them fell short, but they were all regrets anyway.

After all, as the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom said: The lord of Yishui will not come back after all.

Her parents, her children, her sister, none of them could come back.

Her life is destined to be incomplete.

"But at least I have a grandson." The old lady turned her head, looked at Jian Xubai, who looked stunned, and sighed lightly, "No matter what you think of me, your father and your mother, I just want to tell you that from now on, I will not rashly make decisions for you: including what I just thought, I will not do it if I go back and send Qingjiang and the others down to see the Jin Kingdom." ”

She said softly, "I'm not angry with you, I just think that I should also enjoy the blessings and concentrate on making fun of my grandson!" ”

- This child could not relate to the hatred of his elders, and he obviously did not want to experience such hatred.

So, as a grandmother, why did she pull him into this hatred?

The old lady took out the handkerchief from her sleeve, slowly wiped the tears on her face, and said softly, "I, your father, am destined to be unwilling in this life. But at least, we can hope that you and that good boy can have a happy life in the future without any regrets! ”
