Since Mrs. Liu came back from Lei Mansion, this Ansheng's mood has not stopped struggling for a moment. She couldn't understand why she went to Lei Mansion for help? Why do you want to agree to the alliance proposed by Master Lei that Du Lei's two families will become one? is so stupid as to push his dearest niece into the fire pit of hell on earth.

When the Du Mansion, which used to be the sound of brocade clothes and jade food and swallows, ended up in this sad and cold silence now, Mrs. Liu's scattered heart had not had time to settle down, and the cigarette smoke on the Buddhist hall once again brushed her trembling lips. From the moment she humiliated herself and stepped into Lei Mansion to save Du Qingfeng, this gloomy and melancholy mood had never really left her. On the contrary, in her heart, she felt more and more intense, more and more confused.

"Mother, Brother Qingfeng is back, Brother Qingfeng is back, come out and take a look." Du Ruyan hurriedly walked to the Buddhist hall in the backyard, and exclaimed happily.

"Is Aomine really back? Where is it, let the mother take a look, take a look. Mrs. Liu was like a young girl who was so happy that she burst into tears, and she couldn't hide her excitement for a while.

"Mother, my brother is at the gate of Du Mansion, and at this time, Steward Wu is gathering his subordinates to make a brazier for his brother and sprinkle peach branch water, and the filth and humiliation on his body are gone. Let's hurry to the gate, don't sulk in this backyard and get yourself lucky. Du Ruyan hurriedly urged Mrs. Liu, for fear that she would miss this grand ceremony to remove bad luck and enter the house.

"Alas, go, go, don't rush anymore. Mother's heart has been destroyed by you, isn't it just your brother coming home? There's no need to be so anxious. Besides, mother's heart, after this incident, I don't want to spoil you in the future. I have to let you learn from Sister Yanzhi's girl the scriptures of life and pay for the suffering of the world. Lest your father and mother always shelter you from the wind and rain, you seem to be accustomed to nature, not only do you not go to school, but you go everywhere to provoke right and wrong, and you will cause trouble at home. Mother's heart, it's almost broken by your brothers and sisters. Mrs. Liu said sadly, and walked with Du Ru to the gate of Du Mansion.

Du Ru was so frustrated and angry by her mother, but she didn't dare to refute it, but she just lowered her head and supported Mrs. Liu silently. She knew in her heart that she and her brother had indeed overdone it sometimes, and there was still a little bit of everyone's beauty and son-in-law.

In front of the gate of Du Mansion, Steward Wu was instructing two or three subordinates to be busy driving away the defilement for Du Qingfeng. I saw a small pot building a tall brazier, and Steward Wu drove Du Qingfeng to step over the brazier with his feet, and a girl ring in front of him held the pure water soaked in peach branches, and kept throwing it on Du Qingfeng's body.

At the moment when Mrs. Liu stepped out of the gate of Du Mansion, she suddenly saw this scene in front of her son, and she exclaimed: "Feng'er, Feng'er, come to my mother's side." Let my mother see that you have suffered and suffered all these days. Have you ever injured your body and moved your muscles and bones in prison? What did the people in prison do to you? When Mrs. Liu saw Du Qingfeng, the heart of her beloved son in her heart still did not decrease by half a point. In other words, what he said verbally just now and what he shows now are completely two different things. The origin of the hearts of poor parents in this world seems to have a law.

Du Qingfeng suddenly ran to Mrs. Liu's face and called 'Mother' quickly like a child who had been wronged and had nowhere to vent, and immediately threw himself into Mrs. Liu's arms and cried loudly. Mrs. Liu was also like holding a newborn baby, coaxing Du Qingfeng in her arms with love in her eyes. The mother and son became a ball in front of everyone for a while, one was the mother's heart, and the other was the son's heart. The unforbidden sorrow also made the subordinates on the side tainted with a depressed and sighing voice.

Du Ruyan saw the current situation, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Mother, it's good for my brother to come back." It's not necessarily that my brother is missing an arm and a short leg, so why should you hurt yourself like a tearful person, and hurt your liver and intestines. I see, it is a blessing for my brother to be able to return safely, and my mother will be spared the sadness of this meeting. Anyway, it's safe and sound right now. Why do you have to look so haggard, it's really embarrassing. ”

Steward Wu also replied: "Madam, I think we should go back to the mansion first." It's always not good-looking for a family to stay at the gate, and the people who know the matter are good to say, but the people who don't know the matter still think that our Du Mansion has changed something big. I'm afraid that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and the more I describe, the darker it becomes. ”

"Alright, let's go back to the house." Mrs. Liu finally lowered her desolate pity and said slowly, turned around and walked away, without replying again. The subordinates didn't say anything more, and followed Mrs. Liu into the Du Mansion silently, and with a squeak, the two vermilion lacquer doors closed heavily, leaving not even a gap.

After the reception banquet of Du Mansion, everyone gradually left, and the originally lively family scene suddenly fell into the cold.

Steward Wu hurriedly came to report, and the subordinates of Lei Mansion immediately sent an invitation from Master Lei, and asked Mrs. Liu to see it in person before replying. Mrs. Liu knew what was going on, so she directly accepted the invitation handed by Steward Wu, squinted at it, and sighed lightly: "Alas, this sin, the heart-wrenching things in the world always have to come, and you can't hide from it." I am a sin caused by that life, and I am really ashamed to let a woman who has no father and no mother shelter my dignified Du family from the wind and rain. ”

On the side, after Du Ruhe and Dong Yanzhi paid their respects to Mrs. Liu, they just wanted to take a step to turn back to the garden courtyard, but Mrs. Liu took the lead in stopping Dong Yanzhi's footsteps. Dong Yanzhi stopped at the situation, raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Liu, who was about to speak and stopped, and felt that Mrs. Liu's confused eyes seemed to have a lot of topics to talk to her.

Dong Yanzhi then smiled peacefully and asked, "Auntie, do you have something to say to Yanzhi?" Aunt just said that Yan Zhi listened carefully. If it is a difficult matter, please also ask your aunt to say it, Yanzhi is now relying on her aunt's house, and it is a blessing to be able to share a share of her sorrow for her aunt. The rest, that's not what Yan Zhi dares to expect. ”

"Yan Zhi, if you don't have this natural voice and alluring piano skills, how good it would be! You won't be able to provoke right and wrong everywhere and live a peaceful life. Alas, but my aunt really doesn't know how to tell you about this matter, in order to save your cousin Qingfeng from prison as soon as possible, my aunt was confused for a while and agreed to the request of Master Lei of Lei Mansion: Du Lei's two families are merged into one, and you and Ruhe are selected to represent Du Lei's two families to participate in the 'Qin and Chess Festival' of Gaowang's Mansion. Look, isn't this a big problem for your aunt? Mrs. Liu was so ashamed that her face was full of shyness, and her head was as low as a semi-circular crescent moon and said, and her difficult gesture of saying words was very difficult to resist.

Du Ruhe heard it clearly, and exclaimed inexplicably: "Mother, you are lifting San'er, how can San'er represent Du Lei's two families in terms of piano skills." However, when my mother said this, San'er aroused the ambition in her heart, why did this great good thing fall on me and Sister Yanzhi? Can Master Lei really trust the people of our Du Mansion? ”

"Oh, He'er, you don't have to worry about that. This is the Lei Mansion Lei Mansion Lei Mansion's own decision, with our Du Mansion's prestige and ability, how can the mother instruct the Lei Lord's thoughts. You still calm down and concentrate on accumulating piano skills and practicing chess scores. I won't let you worry about anything else. I'm worried about whether your sister Yanzhi is willing to do this. After Mrs. Liu replied to Du Ruhe's doubts, she turned her tone and pointed to Dong Yanzhi, who was still standing in shock.

Dong Yanzhi was completely stunned by Mrs. Liu's words at this time. After she heard all the chatter of Mrs. Liu, a terrifying fear inexplicably rose in her heart, and a bloody scene of a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and nowhere to escape immediately appeared in her mind. It's just that Mrs. Liu didn't know that Dong Yanzhi's heart was changing magnificently at this time, and Dong Yanzhi's person and heart had become a kind of thick sadness under the protection of her relatives. She felt as if she had fallen into a dry well thousands of feet deep, and when she looked up at the sky, she could not see the light of the sun at the mouth of the well.

Dong Yanzhi stared at Mrs. Liu resentfully, without saying a word, and walked towards the small courtyard of the water pavilion in the back garden in despair. The previous glamorous appearance could no longer find half a fragmented shadow at this time, and Du Ruhe still chased Dong Yanzhi behind her without knowing anything and muttered gloomily: "Sister Yanzhi, what's wrong with you?" Sister Yanzhi, what's wrong with you? ”

The subordinates who sent the letter from Lei Mansion came one after another, and the invitation card of Master Lei finally became a heart disease in Mrs. Liu's heart. Since Du Qingfeng was released from prison and returned to his home, Mrs. Liu has still not been able to persuade Dong Yanzhi to willingly represent Du Ruhe in the 'piano and chess event' of the Gao Wangfu. Of course, this does not mean that Mrs. Liu has no way to complete it, it can only be said that there is still a last glimmer of hope in Mrs. Liu's heart. Instead of unscrupulously forcing Dong Yanzhi to obey, it is better to let her make the best choice by herself. As the saying goes, a hen doesn't float eggs, and even if she breaks off her legs, it's useless.

The opening day of the 'Qin and Chess Festival' held by Gao Wangfu is getting tighter and tighter, and the time is running out. Master Lei sat alone in the master's chair in the study with an annoyed expression, staring at the canary jumping in the cage in front of the window, and his eyes radiated a vicious cold light. The steward of Lei Mansion suddenly broke in with a bitter face, and reported in a low voice: "Master, master, no matter how the old slave sends his subordinates to urge Du Mansion, Du Mansion is as indifferent as a dead man. According to the old slave, since Du Mansion is going to die, we might as well send someone to the Mansion Taisun to give an order, and then go to Du Mansion to take the thief Du Qingfeng to prison, and see if she Du Mansion dares not to act according to the master's agreement. ”

"Hey, Steward Ma, we don't need to use Lord Futai Sun so blatantly. This time Du Fu wants to die, and the old man will salute first and then the soldiers will fulfill her. You go down to prepare a generous gift, take care of it, the old man will personally go to visit the Du Mansion, and see how the Du Mansion pushes the committee and speaks, and then we will make a calculation. Master Lei said with a gloomy and cold smile for a while, his hand had been clenched into a tight fist, the green tendons were watering, and his skin was like a dead tree.

In the living room of Du Mansion, Master Lei looked like he was not smiling, and his eyes were staring at some small flowers and plants outside the hall in a daze. Steward Ma is also like a divine eagle made of a tree, standing next to Master Lei, staring at Mrs. Liu on the left. He coughed lightly, and then cleared his throat like a male donkey in heat and said, "Mrs. Liu, you can say something." My lord has deigned to come to your mansion to wait for you to nod and promise, why do you shirk and delay three or four times, the day of the start of the 'Qin and Chess Festival' in the Gaowang Mansion is imminent. You're not in a hurry, Lord Lei Shuang is still in a hurry! Besides, you and Lei Xiangye also agreed to accept it. Why are you hesitant at this critical juncture? I'm sorry for you. ”

"Butler Martha, if you say this, you have wronged me Liu. If I didn't agree, I wouldn't have agreed to Lei Xiangye's proposal in the first place. You don't know, the three girls in my family are very happy, but the niece Dong Yanzhi is not allowed to live or die, and she doesn't want to set foot in Lei Mansion. Not only did she not listen to the arrangement, but she also let out cruel words, if she was allowed to enter the Lei Mansion, it would be better to let her die. You think that my old sister has only this little bit of blood and bones left, if I was forced to do something stupid that day, how can I be worthy of my deceased sister. Therefore, there is no way out of delaying it to this day. Mrs. Liu sighed again and again, it seemed that she was saying it to Steward Ma, and it seemed to be specially said to Lord Lei's hometown.

Master Lei finally couldn't hold his breath, and when he opened his eyes, he looked at Mrs. Liu and said slightly: "Mrs. Liu, having said that, you can't solve the problem in the end." Could it be that the Du Lei family will not be able to do it at the 'Qin and Chess Festival' in the Gao Wangfu? You can bear it, but the old man can't bear it. You Du Mansion doesn't care about face, I still have to ask for a signboard in Lei Mansion. The old man is here to tell you the truth, no matter whether Dong Yanzhi wants to represent Du Lei's two families in the competition, she has to be used by the old man, and there is no other way. ”

Mrs. Liu's face suddenly changed greatly, and she said in a trembling voice: "Master Lei, what if my niece is still unwilling?" What should I do? ”

Master Lei laughed a few times and said: "That's easy to do, arrest Du Qingfeng back to the prison again, Lord Futai Sun hasn't finished yet!" ”

Mrs. Liu was immediately startled, her eyes widened, and she couldn't say a word for a while.

Dong Yanzhi didn't know when she stood outside the hall door.
