If there is no special reason, before the wedding of Yichen and King Fu in June, Su Xun, who is a brother, should be married before the ceremony, and then the turmoil in Xiapu Yuan in the old year, the eldest princess also realized that the Zhen family is not dead - although Zhen Mo said that he was dissatisfied with Dong Yin's "coldness", and he was not angry for a while before he became malicious, this excuse can only fool people who do not understand, the eldest princess knows quite well that this matter is not as simple as it seems, Zhen Mo didn't mention it, the crown princess and Mrs. Zhen were not as innocent as everyone understood, if there was no indulgent support from the crown princess, where would Zhen Mo dare to act recklessly.

Therefore, although the time is very short, both the Wei Guo Mansion and the Dong Mansion are in favor of getting married as soon as possible.

There is also Su Lian, who is already higher than Su Xun and Yichen, and the marriage is naturally set before the two.

Su Lian's wedding date is set for March in the spring of the season.

This three happy events in a row naturally attracted busyness, and compared with it, the fact that Aunt Erfang Mei was pregnant was not a big deal.

Especially the Huang family, who is in charge of the feed, is of course more busy than others, but fortunately, the third lady Xu has returned to Kyoto and can also help from the side, at first because of this, Li was very dissatisfied - they are all direct wives, why can't she be the only one who can't interfere in housework? But after the incident of Aunt Mei, Ritchie naturally didn't have the heart to pay attention to these anymore.

At the busy juncture, Jianning Houfu sent someone to come - originally at the beginning of the year, the order of Aunt Long of Houfu has been issued, after handover and rushing, the Long family finally arrived in Jinyang Beijing three days ago, on this day, Mrs. Long Juanniang went back to her parents' house to visit relatives, and Mrs. Tai asked people to invite a few sisters of Yichen to get together.

Huang is the sister-in-law of Juanniang, and the sisters have not seen each other for many years, even if the housework is heavy, they cannot be absent from such a long-term reunion, although Mrs. Houfu did not "invite" her.

Yichen is not familiar with this aunt, it is really because when Juan Niang left Jinyang, she will be six years old, not to mention the sixth mother below, and she has no impression of her aunt. Only the beautiful scenery, because of the memory of the previous life, does not feel unfamiliar.

As soon as the mother and daughter met, they couldn't help but hug their heads and cry, and everyone persuaded them slowly, but instead of having an effect, they let Mrs. Hou and several concubines also cry with them, and the maids and mothers-in-law on the ground were all red-eyed, until the Huang family came.

Yi Jingcai followed Huang into the room, and felt the sadness that had not yet dissipated inside, raised his eyelids and looked, and saw a woman with a round bun, pinching a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, the corners of her lips were the smile that had just been piled up, although it was a little hasty, but the eagerness was not reduced by half.

"Chen'er Jing'er, come over quickly, let your aunt take a good look." Mrs. Tai was still choked, and the corners of her eyes were even redder, and she beckoned to Sister Yichen.

Mrs. Tai once again subconsciously neglected Liuniang.

Today, Sanniang and Banniang did not come, Liuniang was so snubbed, it seemed a little lonely, Mrs. Hou had no choice but to come forward, and the Huang family had a cold noise, and let their daughters accompany Liuniang to talk.

Yijing looked at her aunt, and when she saw her, she was even more haggard than she had in her impression, and the red brocade dress on her body could not modify the dark color of her cheeks, two bruises under her eyelids, and silver threads were even mixed between her temples.

It is said that the aunt has a difficult life in her husband's house, looking at this situation, it is indeed the case, but in the impression of the beautiful scene, I have never heard the aunt complain half a sentence, the aunt treats their sisters very much, and only the stepmother, so that there is some estrangement and defense.

Yijing sighed in her heart, her heart was no longer like an ignorant child, and she and her aunt were goodbye in the next life, so she naturally gave birth to attachment and sympathy, and couldn't help but have some red eyes.

"It's all my fault, but it makes Jing'er sad." Seeing that Yijing was depressed, Juan Niang broke into tears and smiled, rubbed Yijing's cheeks regretfully, and then comforted Mrs. Tai: "Mother, don't be sad, the family is finally reunited, and it should be happy." ”

Only then did the Huang family pull Liuniang forward, and first asked Liuniang to salute the elders, and then chatted with Juan Niang: "Is the third sister still going smoothly on the road?" ”

Juan Niang glanced at Huang, tilted her cheek slightly, and ignored it.

The Huang family didn't care, but the second lady of Houfu on the side saw it - she saw that the sister-in-law had such a meaning to Wei Guogong back then, but who could complain? It's not that Mrs. Tai is unwilling to let her daughter be her stepmother! After many years, she is not doing well now, and she can only blame luck, who can she show with a cold face!

The second lady sneered a few times in her heart, pulled Huang into the chair: "The second sister is a busy person, I finally went home, I should rest for a day, don't stand." ”

Mrs. Tai seemed to have just seen Huang, so she only glanced at her and ignored her.

The atmosphere is slightly subtle.

Juan Niang didn't even seem to want to sit with the Huang family, only said that she brought back some things from Zuohai, pulled Yichen and Yijing to the inner room, first picked out a few exquisite ones, and asked the maids to send them out to Liuniang, so she withdrew everyone, and asked how Huang had treated them in the past ten years.

Yichen was very embarrassed, and was busy saying good things for his stepmother: "Aunt is relieved, my mother has always regarded us as if we were relatives, and she has never treated us badly, and even the sixth sister and the third brother are not as good as our three brothers and sisters, and there is also a grandmother on top, where will I be wronged." ”

Yijing was very puzzled, and so was her aunt in her previous life, she didn't care, but now that she thinks about it, her aunt has a gentle temperament, and she is not like those narrow-minded and suspicious women, why do she treat her stepmother so indifferently and guarded? He never followed Yichen's words about the benefits of the Huang family like in that life, but pretended to be naïve and asked: "Did my aunt have any misunderstanding with my mother in the past?" ”

Not to mention that Juan Niang was stunned, Yichen was also startled, but since the incident with the orchid hairpin, her eldest sister was obedient in front of Yijing, and subconsciously, she did not stop the blame at this time.

"I see that my aunt was very cold to my mother just now, so I think so, aunt is not strange." Yijing smiled sweetly again: "As the eldest sister said, my mother has never treated us badly, I was ignorant in those years, and I repeatedly argued with my sixth sister, my mother was protective of me at all times, but the sixth sister was reprimanded a lot, and now I feel ashamed when I think about it, it is rare that the sixth sister is relieved and does not care about me, and now it is okay." ”

Juan Niang smiled and said: "Jing'er is praising yourself for being reasonable and sensible now, you are not modest." ”

Yijing didn't let go of the question just now: "Auntie, just tell us, did you have a dispute with your mother before, and we should listen to interesting things, and we will not talk much in front of our mother." A curious look, a pair of bright eyes staring at Juan Niang.

"There are some things that have passed, and it is useless to mention them again." Juan Niang sighed lightly, her eyes gloomy: "I only remember my aunt's words, you can't trust others too easily, some things are not as they seem, you have to have your own ideas, as the saying goes, you have to guard against people, and you will not suffer if you are cautious." ”

Yi Jingshen thought so, and saw that his aunt didn't want to say more, so it was difficult to ask.

was gossiping, Jiang Yue was unwilling to be lonely and came in, and plunged into Juanniang's arms: "When my aunt saw Ah Chen and Ah Jing, she forgot about me, and only talked to them, I didn't accept it." ”

Being cut off by this, Yijing was even more difficult to follow, and only asked Jiang Yue: "Why don't you see the fifth sister today?" ”

"Don't mention it, because that monk spouted nonsense, in order to be safe, the fifth sister didn't even dare to go out of the courtyard, and my aunt went to see her earlier and persuaded her to come out and disperse, but she didn't want to." Jiang Yue sighed: "It's a good marriage, because of this, it makes people panic." ”

Since Juan Niang heard about this, she also felt that something was strange in her heart, but she thought that Huang Wuniang was not too cautious, so she proposed: "Wu Niang also feels depressed, it just so happens that your sisters are here, so go talk to her." Then he led a few girls out of the outer room.

Said Huang again, seeing that Juan Niang and Yi Chen sisters were talking privately, they were a little panicked, until this time, seeing that there was no change in the love of the two step-goddesses, they sighed lightly, and saw Juan Niang take a few juniors to see Huang Wuniang, and hurriedly followed, along the way, regardless of Juanniang's cold face, just pretending to be enthusiastic with her.

Juan Niang was very impatient, but in front of the juniors, it was not easy to say it directly, until outside the courtyard where Huang Wuniang lived, she let a few little ladies in, turned to Huang and said: "Second sister, don't go in, that Yunshui monk appeared strangely, maybe someone has malicious intentions......"

Seeing that the little ladies were not present, Huang smiled at the corner of his lips, but despite this, his expression was still gentle: "I know that the third sister is still in the past...... At the beginning, the third sister and I had nothing to talk about, and I knew your heart for Grandpa Guo...... Third sister, I really didn't think things would come out like this, to say that my mother was originally planning for you......"

"Ming people don't say dark words, the second sister knows what good things she did back then." Juan Niang sneered: "Things have changed, it's useless to say more, I only regret not being at the beginning, I didn't defend you at all, and told you everything in my heart, so that you have a chance." ”

Huang was very distressed: "My sister really misunderstood me. ”

"Misunderstanding?" Juan Niang sneered: "You heard me say that my mother didn't want me to be a stepmother, so I have an idea in my heart, let me ask you, why did the Long family come to the door at that juncture?" How did the poems I wrote end up in Ruoxu's hands? Who told him that I had a long-standing admiration for him? Second sister, don't say you don't know anything, it's all the second brother's doing. ”

Huang was stunned on the spot.

"If it weren't for the fact that I happened to see that letter, I asked in surprise, and I was still kept in the dark by your brothers and sisters, but it was just a coincidence that the Long family proposed marriage at that time, second sister, you should be really scheming, and you are still acting in front of me for so many years!"

In the face of Juanniang's fierce questioning, Huang finally couldn't insist on "misunderstanding" anymore, and explained stumblingly: "I was also desperate at the time, third sister, although you have a good impression of Grandpa Guo, and because of the children left by the eldest sister, you are determined to marry to the Guogong Mansion, but you also know that your mother will not agree, you are a concubine, your mother will not let you be wronged, but I am helpless, I was moved at the time, and I was afraid of delaying it any longer, Guogong Mansion changed its original intention, there are other choices, if you miss this marriage, Third sister, you also know that my mother intended to let me marry into the Yao family at that time, although that person was also widowed, but he was not confused by his age, and he had a rough temperament...... I really don't want to...... Long Jialangjun has a good impression of you, he is from a prestigious family, and he is talented, and he will not insult you, I admit that I used some means, and I was forced to do so, and I didn't mean to harm you. ”

"Didn't hurt me?" Juan Niang sneered: "So, should I thank you?" How much did you imitate my handwriting, copy my poems and 'show your heart'? Do you know that the eldest son and daughter-in-law that the old lady of the Long family liked at that time was her niece? Because if I mistakenly think that I have affection for him, and do not hesitate to disobey my mother? I didn't know why my mother-in-law was so critical of me until I saw that love letter! In the eyes of my mother-in-law, I am a wicked person who does not abide by women's morals, gives and accepts privately, and provokes their mother-son relationship. ”

Huang stammered: "I don't know ......"

"The second sister's hypocrisy is better to be restrained, after ten years, the dust has settled, and I am not willing to pursue these old things again." Juan Niang's eyebrows were solemn: "I heard Chen'er and Jing'er say that you treat them well, and I don't want to sow discord, just remember one sentence, treat the big sister's flesh and blood well, if there is anything bad about their three brothers and sisters in the future, I will not let you go." ”

After Juan Niang finished speaking, she ignored the Huang family anymore, turned around and walked quickly with a cold face.

On the partition wall of the corridor, the second lady Jiang came out, and snorted fiercely at Juanniang's back: "She deserves to be pleased, if she gritted her teeth and wanted to marry the Guogong Mansion, her mother-in-law may not be compromised, and it was not that she was moved by Aunt Long's outstanding talent." Sister, don't take it to heart, and follow me, the second master has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Huang smiled slightly, the shame and surprise at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were all retracted, and he only looked at Jiang: "Sister-in-law also heard it just now, since the third sister is suspicious, I am afraid that the eldest brother may not be defenseless." ”

"Sister is relieved, since the rumors spread, our house is not one step close to Wu Niang, even if they are suspicious, they will not be able to rely on us at that time." Jiang smiled sympathetically, pulled Huang and left.
