Chapter 262 Refusal
The old lady's words are generally not listened to, and even the Marquis of Anyang will back down.
Mrs. Anyang Hou's heart has changed from boiling and passionate at the beginning to cold ashes.
However, the disheartened Mrs. Anyang Hou still did not give up and continued to persuade the old lady.
"This is my daughter, no matter how much you oppose me, old lady, I will adopt her, write her name on the family tree, and give her a home."
Mrs. Anyang Hou's tone suddenly became very tough, and this hardness made Anyang Hou startled.
The usually gentle and well-informed lady is so unruly in front of the old lady today.
This is the first time in the thirty or forty years that they have been married, Anyang Hou has felt that his wife still has such a side.
However, Anyang Hou still understood in his heart that his wife dared to resist his mother for the sake of Qin Liusu.
"How dare you talk to me like this today, you are the only lady in the house, and there is still me in your eyes."
The old lady was also very angry and walked out angrily.
"Madam, I know that we are all very sad to lose our daughter, but you have to control your temper and don't be angry with your body."
An Yanghou supported his wife and patted his wife's shoulder, as if he was silently comforting.
At this time, Mrs. Anyang Hou suddenly ran out, wanting to go to Qin Liusu and tell Qin Liusu about what happened today.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Qin Liusu'er, are you there?"
Qin Liusu opened them, so he looked at the very haggard Mrs. Anyang Mansion in front of him. He asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Child, I have wronged you, the old lady's ideas are too feudal and superstitious, and I always feel that it is a very inappropriate thing to adopt you, so I ......"
Mrs. Anyang Hou didn't say any more, because she was sad and didn't want Qin Liusu to become empty and happy.
Mrs. Anyang Hou also knew that it was not easy for Qin Liusu, a child, and she had no relatives, so she longed to be close to her wife.
"It's okay Madam, as long as I can be by your side, it doesn't matter what my identity is, I just want to do a little bit of my filial piety to repay you for saving your life."
Qin Liusu stroked his wife's hands, a little lonely, but still looked at Mrs. Anyang Hou happily.
"Son, no matter what, I will still convince the old lady to let you enter the family tree."
"You have a good rest, I'll go get busy first."
After the lady finished speaking, she walked out of Qin Liusu's room and walked in the direction of the garden alone.
In the garden, it is said that it is a walk to enjoy the flowers, but it turns out that the drunkard does not mean to drink.
Mrs. Anyang Hou didn't have the slightest idea of appreciating the flowers, and now all she was thinking about was how to get the old lady to agree to let Qin Liusu enter the family tree.
In a distraught, he accidentally found that the old lady's maid and Qin Liusu's miscellaneous maid didn't know what they were talking about.
Madame tried to get closer and hear what they were saying, but she was too far away to hear her.
"The old lady said that you should find a good way to give the young lady some medicine, so that she can get some vicious illness and send her out of the house."
The old lady's maid told the truth word by word.
"Ah, that's not good, Miss is my master after all now, how can I poison her"
The maid was still very soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and did not agree.
"The old lady also said that if you don't do it, your seventy-year-old grandmother and your young brother will be..."
"I beg you to spare my grandmother and brother, I am the two of them." The maid immediately panicked, and didn't know what to do.
"This is the old lady's order, and I am just a messenger, you are a smart person, what to do, you know in your heart."
The old lady's maid looked around, and when she saw that there was no one, she walked away quickly.
The maid didn't know what to do, and scratched each other's hands.
The scenery in the courtyard is still good, after all, it is a big family, how can you lose your dignity.
Two small colorful butterflies are like a pair of little lovers, dancing in the middle of the flowers, carefree.
All kinds of flowers compete for beauty, fragrant and lush, as if competing for pets.
The lotus leaves in the pond are also blooming very beautifully, and there are still a few drops of crystal clear dew on the round lotus leaves, which are like pearls under the sunlight.
In addition to butterflies, a few red dragonflies occasionally fly in and flutter on the surface of the lake, causing small circles of ripples on the surface of the lake.
The breeze was blowing, and the flowers, grass, and trees were swaying and rustling in the wind.
When Madame returned to her room, she had been pondering what had just happened in the courtyard, and it was so mysterious, but there was certainly nothing good about it.
This made Madame even more upset.
In desperation, he could only discuss with An Yanghou.
Mrs. Anyang Hou came to Anyang Hou's study and told him what she had seen in the garden today.
But An Yanghou didn't care at all, and also said: "Maybe there is some small conflict between the two of them." ”
"Or some other private matter, not as serious as Madame thinks."
Anyang Hou lowered his head again and continued to deal with official business, but Mrs. Anyang Hou still felt uneasy, left the study, returned to her room, and asked her subordinates to call Qin Liusu over.
"Madam, is there anything you want me to do?" Qin Liusu was very respectful when she was beside her wife, and her lady pulled her over and comforted her to sit down beside her.
"When I came out of your place not long ago, I went into the courtyard, and I saw a little maid in your room walking with the old lady's maid."
"I thought it was nothing good, so I called you over and told you to be more careful." Madame looked at Qin Liusu with a serious expression.
"Why do you say that, I don't have any holidays with the old lady, and the old lady won't harm me."
The kind-hearted Qin Liusu was still helping the old lady speak, but she didn't know that the old lady didn't hurt her as she thought.
"It's indispensable to guard against people, you pay more attention to that little girl's behavior."
Madame turned her head and sighed.
Qin Liusu returned to her room and carefully recalled what her wife had just said to her, and always felt that there should be no such thing.
The old lady didn't know what Su Suosuo said in the room, and the old lady's maid hurriedly walked out.
I just happened to meet Anyang Hou, who came to ask for peace after handling official business. "Why are you so flustered, have you forgotten the rules of the house?"
"I'm sorry sir, the slave knows it's wrong."
An Yanghou waved his hand and walked into the old lady's room.
"The son greets his mother, and his mother is fine recently."
An Yanghou smiled, and then found a place to sit down.
"There's nothing wrong with me, you pay more attention to your body." The old lady was still very upset.
"My son sees that the tone of your voice is a little wrong, is there something on your mind, can you say it and let your son enlighten you."
"What else can it be, isn't it that Qin Liusu, I will definitely not agree, unless I die."
The old lady's face was not good-looking, and An Yanghou didn't say anything more.
The old lady saw that Anyang Hou was so entangled, so she talked about why she refused to agree.
"Son, when I was a little girl who had not yet come out of the cabinet, my family was almost the same as now, and everyone grew up and was short every day."
"Let me live in a princess-like environment. But I thought I was going to be like this from now on, and that's when a person appeared. ”
An Yanghou listened to his mother's speech very carefully, and his eyes were very focused.
"One day, a little baby appeared in front of our house, and the housekeeper reported it to your grandfather, who didn't think much about it at that time, so he took her home."
"It is said that children grow up fast, and it is really like this, every day, this little girl makes everyone laugh, and she is happy."
"But until one day, your grandfather suddenly said that he was going to officially adopt this little girl, and the mother of the family also agreed, but I didn't agree at all at that time."
When the old lady said this, she paused slightly, as if to calm the feelings in her heart.
After a while, the old lady continued.
"Later, many people came to the house to congratulate and said that they would come to give gifts when the ceremony officially began."
"There are also some people who talk behind their backs, making irresponsible remarks, and their words are not good. But my father and mother ignored them and scolded them for being short-sighted. ”
When An Yanghou heard this, he probably understood what the old lady was going to say, but An Yanghou did not intervene and continued to let the old lady continue.
The old lady looked at An Yanghou and continued: "I didn't expect that the matter had only been spread for two days, and it would cause injuries. It was surprisingly quiet that night, and it was quiet up and down the house. ”
"After a while, I heard someone shouting that there was a fire, and the fire was coming from the backyard."
"The fire spread very quickly, and it didn't take long for it to reach the guest room. Everyone rushed to put out the fire, and no one came to save people. ”
"The fire in my room wasn't very far away, so it quickly spread to this side, and by the time I got up, I was surrounded by fire without getting dressed neatly."
"I couldn't get out, the beams of the house were burned off, I shouted for help, but no one came to save me."
"But I can't just wait to die, I can only wet the quilt with water, wrap myself, and squat in a small corner."
At this time, the old lady was extremely excited, and the whole person felt that she was about to fall into the memory.
An Yang held her hand tightly so that she could feel a sense of security.
The old lady still said to herself: "I heard someone outside shouting that there was a fire, but there were also people shouting for help. ”
"Cries for help were heard everywhere, and I didn't know what was going on outside."
"At this time, I have been worrying about the situation of my father and mother, maybe only on the verge of death do I know the importance of my family."
"I hope they live well, I hope they don't get harmed in any way. But it backfired, this was not the case, my father and mother were killed, and I was the only one in the house who survived. ”
When the old lady said this, An Yanghou in the room took a deep breath.
Because his mother had never told him about these things, he didn't know that his mother had suffered such a big blow.
The old lady continued to speak, the words were like pearls, like a knife that pierced deep into Anyang Hou's heart.
He didn't expect that his mother had suffered such a painful thing, which is no wonder why his mother had a strange temperament.
Even sometimes the words are so aggressive, the old lady is talking to her son, and the sky has become dark.
So, Anyang Hou retreated from his mother's room with a heavy heart.
At this time, Qin Liusu stayed in the room alone, even if it was already dark, he didn't light a candle, just quietly thinking about what had happened in the past few days.
For Qin Liusu, being rejected by the old lady for adoption was too big a blow to herself, although she smiled heartlessly on the surface.
But she is still very disappointed in her heart, and now she just wants to be alone and quiet, and she doesn't want anyone to disturb her.
Sometimes, however, things don't go as planned.
Bi Lian's voice rang out from outside, and said, "Miss, open the door and let Bi Lian go in and light a candle for you."
All of a sudden, things are a little out of control.
