Chapter 352: Halfway to the Kill, Bite the Gold
Stopping between Ji Ruyan and the bedpost, it turned out to be the next person, he hugged Ji Ruyan who fell to the ground, and said distressedly: "Ruyan, Ruyan, how are you?" Ruyan, why are you so stupid, if something happens to you, how can I live......"
Ji Ruyan was speechless in pain at this moment, she actually used a lot of strength to hit the pillar before, although it would not be killed immediately, but the injury was inevitable, she knew that as long as she was injured and showed the appearance of blood flowing, it would definitely make the old lady soft-hearted.
However, she never thought that she had just hit the middle of the road, and she only felt a numbness in her waist and legs, so she unloaded her strength and fell to the ground, looking as if she didn't want to hit the pillar at all, and she didn't understand the posture, but who knows, at this time, she was crying with back pain, and she didn't even have the strength to say a word, let alone push away the person who was holding her.
Everyone naturally didn't know the situation, but they saw that the subordinate had a deep affection for Ji Ruyan, and Ji Ruyan also fell into his arms, crying secretly but had no intention of avoiding it at all, and really thought that the two of them were really happy with each other.
Although the old lady was trembling with anger, she didn't want to lose too much face in front of the ladies of Lin and Su, so she only said with tears in her eyes: "You are confused like smoke!" Although you are just an old man who knows his righteous granddaughter, as long as you speak, how can the old body stop you, as long as you are happy, how can the old body not allow you! How can you do such a thing! β
The old lady saved face for Ji Ruyan, and didn't say anything between words, otherwise with Ji Ruyan's behavior, she would be scolded for fornicating with others, and her shameless words would be light.
Ji Ruyan wanted to refute, but she couldn't open her mouth, but Ping'er on the side, after a few struggles, broke free from the clamp of the maid-in-law, suddenly pulled the cloth in her mouth, and shouted: "Miss is wronged!" The slave maid serves by the young lady's side every day, the young lady doesn't know this man at all, the young lady is really miserable, everyone doesn't treat you as a young lady at all on weekdays, secretly bullying, openly mocking, the young lady has endured it because of the old lady's kindness, and she still refuses to tell the old lady, but today's incident, it is obvious that the old man bullied the young lady, but they found such a person, it really doesn't give the young lady a way to live......"
Ping'er's noisy crying made the old lady's face even more difficult to look at, didn't she mean that the old lady gave up recognizing her granddaughter because the matter involved her son?
Just when the old lady was angry and didn't know what to do, a voice with a little indifference and doubt came: "Master? Can it mean me? I heard in the front yard that something happened to Miss Ji, so I rushed here, did something happen that involved me? β
When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and saw a man in a green shirt, although he was a little indifferent, but extremely elegant, it was Liu Wenzhe.
When Ping'er saw Liu Wenzhe, her eyes were fierce but she quickly covered it up, and only cried: "Master, how can you be so ruthless, bullying Miss, and now pretending to be innocent, how can you let Miss live?" β
In the face of Ping'er's accusation, Liu Wenzhe was displeased, but he was not angry, but just reprimanded: "Presumptuous! I have never been to this side courtyard at all, how can I bully Miss Ji? What are you talking nonsense, you girl? β
Without waiting for Ping'er to say anything, Liu Wenzhe stretched out his hand to help the old lady, and said in a softened tone: "Mother, it is the son who is not filial and cannot always be by the side of the bridesmaid, so that the mother will have the idea of recognizing a daughter and grandson around the knee and always accompanying, but now it seems that maybe Miss Ji is a good one, and this maid may not be able to stay in the house, so as not to give birth to right and wrong." β
The old lady took Liu Wenzhe's hand, choked and couldn't speak, why did she accept Ji Ruyan as her granddaughter because her son couldn't accompany her? Why don't you know that his son is a person who does great things, how can he live in the back house every day and accompany her? The son said this, just to save some face for her.
The old lady couldn't speak, but it didn't mean that Ping'er was willing to calm things down, she struggled and shouted: "The master said that he had never been to the side courtyard of the young lady, but the slave maid saw the master come here with his own eyes, the slave and the maid dared to ask the master, who can prove that the master is not lying, but don't say that it is the little guy around the lord as evidence, the little guy is the henchman of the lord, and naturally speaks to the lord." β
Liu Wenzhe looked at Ping'er coldly, pursed his lips and said nothing, I don't know if he disdains arguing with a little maid, or if it is as Ping'er said, except for the little guy around him, there is no one to testify.
Just when the ladies of Lin and Su and the maids were guessing in their hearts, a soft voice came.
"I can testify for Lord Liu."
As the voice fell, a young lady walked out from behind, with a slender waist like a willow, delicate eyebrows, and a light green dress, which added a bit of tenderness to her.
"Shuang'er!" Mrs. Su changed color, because the young lady who came out was her daughter, Miss Sufu, whose name was Shuang.
Su Hanshuang has been smart since childhood, and when she grew up, her appearance was also middle-class, but unfortunately when she and Lu wanted to discuss marriage, she suffered the death of the old lady of Sufu, and Su Hanshuang kept filial piety for her grandfather for three years.
After six years, the little girl who had just reached the end of the year has also become a twenty-one-year-old woman, in this Tianli Dynasty, it is extremely difficult to find another family business, and the blow of clinker fate to Su Hanshuang has not stopped.
Su Fu found a family affair for Su Hanshuang, although it was not a good match, but the other party was also young and promising, and it was inevitable that he wanted to glorify his ancestors in the future, but this fiancΓ© did a foolish thing, and he was eager to take a concubine before he married a wife, or to accept a Qinglou woman.
Su Hanshuang is usually weak, but after encountering such a thing, she is tougher than her mother, Mrs. Su, and desperately retreats from this family business at the risk of ruining her reputation.
The other party lost face, so he naturally spread the bad words of Su Hanshuang everywhere, and the rumors went on for a long time, and everyone couldn't tell the truth from the false, and no one came to propose to Su Fu, and now Su Hanshuang is twenty-six years old, still alone, I heard that if it weren't for her parents who repeatedly blocked it, this Su Hanshuang would have escaped into the nunnery and been with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for a lifetime.
In the middle of this, Ling Qingrui naturally found out clearly and understood that Su Hanshuang was a good woman, so she would invite her and her mother, Mrs. Su, into the house, I don't want what else happened between Su Hanshuang and Liu Wenzhe?
Everyone's eyes fell on Su Hanshuang, Su Hanshuang's cheeks were slightly red, but he didn't flinch in the slightest, walked in front of everyone, politely greeted the old lady and Ling Qingrui, and then stood beside his mother, and said slowly: "The little girl is abrupt, and I hope the old lady and the county lord An Jin will forgive me, but just now I said that I can testify for Lord Liu, and I am not talking nonsense." β
"Shuang'er, don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Su was slightly angry, although she came with the intention of getting married this time, but this matter has not been brushed up, and she can't let her daughter get involved in the family affairs of Liufu no matter what.
Su Hanshuang glanced at his mother slightly apologetically, but said in a firm tone: "Mother, I didn't talk nonsense. My mother and Mrs. Lin went to visit the old lady, and I was bored there, so I thought about walking around the willow mansion and looking around, and then for some reason I walked into a garden, and I couldn't find the path, and it happened that Lord Liu passed by there, so I was led to the pavilion on the side to rest for a while. β
Speaking of this, Su Hanshuang may have realized that there was some ambiguity in her words, and hurriedly explained: "Lord Liu is very polite, just a gesture from a distance, and never approached me, and then Lord Liu stayed outside the pavilion, and ordered someone to find a maid to guide me." As soon as we walked to the place where the banquet was located, someone came to report that something had happened to the old lady, and Lord Liu hurried over. It took more than half an hour. β
The last sentence seemed to make the whole thing settle, because it was only three quarters of an hour before Ping'er cried and went to Ronghuatang to beg the old lady, unless Liu Wenzhe knew how to do the trick of separation, it was impossible for him to do anything wrong, while being with Su Hanshuang, he came to this side courtyard to behave against Ji Ruyan!
Ji Ruyan and Ping'er didn't expect that they would bite the gold halfway, and their faces were like ashes, but they still didn't give up, and they still wanted to struggle to justify, but how could Ling Qingrui give her a chance, and with Su Hanshuang mixed in, Mrs. Su couldn't stay out of it.
At that moment, Ling Qingrui ordered someone to gag Ping'er and dragged it aside, and Mrs. Su also said coldly: "This Miss Ji won't still say that my Shuang'er and Lord Liu are accomplices, and they have discussed it to bully you together, right?" This is the first time my family has come to this Liufu and the first time I have seen Lord Liu. β
Ling Qingrui also had the same eyebrows on her face, and said: "Ruyan girl, the lord of this county has seen clearly, although you and your lover are in love, but they don't like his subordinate status and poverty, the lord of this county thinks that you have served by your grandmother's side for so long, and it has also made your grandmother happy, so in addition to his slave status, he will give some dowry and marry you to him." However, if you still slander the county lord's father, or even dare to implicate Miss Su, you will not blame the county lord for being ruthless, and directly detain you into the official mansion! β
Immediately, Ling Qingrui made a look, and the next person helped Ji Ruyan and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you for the success, thank you for the success, thank you for the old lady and the master!" Even the people in the house know that the old man never comes to this side courtyard, because Ping'er is jealous that Ruyan can have a good marriage, so he is messing around, wanting to make Ruyan unable to live, and hoping that the old lady will give Ruyan the decision and sell this Ping'er. β
Everything is reasonable, and since Ling Qingrui dared to say that Ji Ruyan would be sent to the official mansion, it naturally showed that there was really no Liu Wenzhe in the middle, so that she could be so frank, and Mrs. Su breathed a sigh of relief.
And Ling Qingrui said a word to the old lady, which immediately made the old lady's face turn cloudy and bright, and she smiled and laughed.
