Chapter 386: Leaving Liufu and staying in Yuncang Water Pavilion
The reason why Bingyan exclaimed was because when she was moving the pot of chrysanthemums, she was accidentally scratched by the edge of the pot, and no one thought that the flower pot that came out of the palace actually had a little flaw, and a small and somewhat sharp water chestnut protruded, which cut Bingyan's fingers.
Although Bingyan's fingers were scratched, there was actually only a small wound, but Bingyan didn't know why, she felt that the stinging pain was a little unbearable at that moment, so she couldn't help but make a sound.
Seeing that Ling Qingrui was disturbed, Bingyan hurriedly withdrew her finger embarrassedly, lowered her head and said, "Miss, I'm sorry." ”
Ling Qingrui retracted the brilliance in her eyes, took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, threw it to Bingyan and said, "Send the flowers to the carriage, and I'll go to my grandmother's side." ”
"Why did the young lady go to the old lady?" Bingyan couldn't help but stomp her feet, the old lady treated the young lady like that, and the young lady was still thinking about the old lady all the time, she was really angry!
Ling Qingrui didn't say anything, she just got up and went outside, she didn't go to the old lady, how could she confirm her guess?
The old lady was in Ronghua Hall, lying on her side on the couch, Mama Chen was rubbing her forehead, she seemed to be muttering to herself, as if she was talking to Mama Chen, and said: "Did Rui'er hold a grudge against me, so she returned all the things, I ...... Am I going too far? ”
Mama Chen listened to the old lady's words, her face was also complicated, she almost always followed the old lady, she watched everything in Liufu with her own eyes, the old lady used to be decisive and fair, even when the eldest lady and the second lady were still there, although she couldn't protect Mrs. Ling and Miss Rui openly, she also secretly took care of them.
How many times, when the Shen family and the two young ladies wanted to bully Mrs. and Miss Rui, the old lady was not in the house, and the old lady went to relieve the siege, and on the surface, she reprimanded and taught the lady, but in fact, she protected the lady from being bullied by the Shen family.
Since when did the old lady start to get confused? Treat Miss Rui coldly, it is better for a granddaughter than for Miss Rui...... broke Miss Rui's heart again and again, and this time the old lady begged the old man to send Miss Rui away for the sake of the heirs of the Liu family!
The old man is filial, but he also values affection, it is impossible to give up his wife, the reason why the old man agreed to marry the stepfamily is only because he is filial, not because he fell in love with Miss Nasufu, the old lady has been wise all her life, but this time she didn't see it.
The old man will not do ruthless and unrighteous things if he gives up his life, why doesn't the old lady understand?
Mama Chen didn't speak, and the old lady didn't expect her to answer, but she was sighing and nagging there, at this time, a maid came in to report, Ling Qingrui came over, the old lady was startled at the moment, and hurriedly sat up, but for a while she didn't know how to face Ling Qingrui.
After Ling Qingrui walked in, her eyes swept over Mama Chen's face, and Mama Chen immediately understood, kicked the maids out, and personally guarded the door, leaving the old lady to talk to Ling Qingrui.
"How come Rui'er has time to come over, isn't she packing up something?" The old lady's face was a little dumbfounded, and she was even more embarrassed after speaking, no matter how she sounded this, it sounded like she was driving Ling Qingrui away.
Ling Qingrui didn't seem to notice it, but her eyes looked at the old lady's room, and finally fixed on a pot of pothos placed in the corner, but her face was silent, she slowly withdrew her gaze, and then knelt in front of the old lady.
Ling Qingrui's move shocked the old lady, and she hurriedly wanted to stay to help Ling Qingrui, but Ling Qingrui stretched out her hand and pressed the old lady back on the couch, and then solemnly kowtowed to the old lady three times.
"Rui'er, what are you doing here?" The old lady asked hurriedly.
"Grandmother, Rui'er thank you grandmother for taking care of her for more than ten years, if there is no grandmother, Rui'er may not be alive now, not to mention the matter of honoring the county lord and restoring the identity of the Ling family's concubine."
The old lady hurriedly took Ling Qingrui's hand and patted it gently, "Grandmother knows that Rui'er is a filial person. ”
After a pause, the old lady said: "Grandmother also knows that it is really difficult for you to support the portal alone at such a young age, if Rui'er doesn't care, can you continue to live in Liufu?" ”
Hearing the old lady say this, Ling Qingrui's heart was also warm, but she still shook her head slowly and said: "The emperor's decree has been issued, Rui'er's current identity is no longer suitable for continuing to live in Liufu, and with Rui'er here, I'm afraid that Sufu will not rest assured that Miss Su will marry her uncle." ”
"Rui'er......" The old lady was also embarrassed, feeling sorry for Ling Qingrui on the one hand, and thinking about the affairs of Su Mansion on the other.
Ling Qingrui smiled and said, "Grandmother doesn't have to be embarrassed, Rui'er will be fine." It's just that there is one thing that needs to be said to my grandmother today, and my grandmother must remember that she can't say it to anyone. ”
Seeing the puzzled gaze cast by the old lady, Ling Qingrui approached the old lady and said in a low voice: "Grandmother must also know that Rui'er is burdened with a deep hatred of blood, and who the enemy is Rui'er has already found out, but the enemy is powerful, Rui'er is afraid that it will be difficult to protect the safety of her grandmother and uncle, so she pretended to fall out with her uncle. ”
After thinking for a while, Ling Qingrui told again: "Rui'er has someone to keep on her grandmother's and uncle's side, in case the enemy does something to her grandmother and uncle, if he gets revenge on Rui'er in the future, he will come to her grandmother to fulfill her filial piety, if Rui'er doesn't come to tell her grandmother in person, grandmother must not show any kindness to Rui'er." ”
"Rui'er!" The old lady's voice trembled when she heard this, and the hand holding Ling Qingrui trembled even more.
She really didn't expect that what Ling Qingrui had done now was all for the sake of Liufu, but what had she done? For a while, the old lady felt guilty and rolled in her heart, choked up and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Rui'er, it's grandmother who is sorry for you! Grandmother is confused! The old lady spoke after a while, and tears finally slid down her face.
Ling Qingrui's heart also trembled slightly, as if two hearts were beating, which made her sad and almost cried, but she still controlled her excitement in the end, and comforted: "Grandmother is not sorry for Rui'er, it is Rui'er who has involved the entire Liufu." Grandmother, Rui'er is inconvenient to stay longer, this is leaving, grandmother must remember what Rui'er just said, and make a disgusted appearance in front of others. ”
After speaking, Ling Qingrui shook the old lady's hand vigorously, stood up, and suddenly raised her voice and said: "Old lady, I just came to see the old lady because I was happy to leave Liufu, the old lady was reluctant to even have a pot of pothos, did she really think that the county lord was easy to bully?" ”
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then understood, looked at Ling Qingrui deeply, but roared vigorously: "You go!" Don't let the old body see you again! ”
Ling Qingrui stretched out her hand to pick up the pot of pothos she had seen earlier, turned around and kicked open the door with a "bang", and said angrily in the stunned eyes of the maids: "You don't let the county lord take it, the county lord wants to take it, what can you do with me!" ”
Raising her feet, Ling Qingrui walked out, and the old lady rushed to the door, pointing at Ling Qingrui's back, but she trembled for a long time before she spit out an earth-shattering word "roll", and then she fainted with a roll of her eyes!
There were exclamations from Mama Chen and the others behind her, Ling Qingrui's footsteps paused invisibly, but when she turned her face, she looked indifferent, and her tone was even more cold and ordered the maid on the side: "Don't go and ask the old lady to come to the doctor, if the old lady makes a bad mistake, it is not rumored outside that it is the lord of the county, then the lord of the county is speechless." ”
The maid didn't know what was going on, and after listening to Ling Qingrui's words, she hurriedly ran to ask for a doctor, but Ling Qingrui left Ronghua Hall without looking back, but she didn't go back to Yusheng Xiaozhu, holding this green pothos and going straight to the carriage waiting outside the gate of Shangfu.
Bingyan looked at Ling Qingrui, who had a puzzled expression, and stopped talking, she couldn't figure out what was wrong with Miss.
After a long while, Ling Qingrui slowly exhaled a breath and said, "Bingyan, you go and ask the people guarding in Ronghua Hall if there was anything wrong with the enemy attacking today, especially in terms of details. ”
"Yes, miss." Bingyan was a little puzzled, but she also responded, looked at the stopped carriage, jumped straight down, and quietly returned to Liufu.
The General's Mansion had already been pocketed by Ling Qingrui, and someone had already taken care of it at this time, Bingyue followed Ling Qingrui, walked into the General's Mansion, and asked cautiously: "Does Miss want to live in the main courtyard, or ......?"
The main courtyard, originally General Ling and his wife, that is, where Miss's parents lived, it stands to reason that Miss is now supporting this general's mansion alone, so she naturally wants to live in the main courtyard, but Bingyue also knows that Miss looks cold, but her mind is the most delicate, if she lives in the main courtyard, I am afraid that it will evoke Miss's memories, and Miss will be sad, so Bingyue has this question.
Ling Qingrui stopped in front of the main courtyard and glanced at the plaque on it, there were four words on it, the handwriting was soft, and it didn't match the main courtyard, just because it was written "Yuncang Water Pavilion".
The water pavilion refers to a pavilion or an attic near the water, which is generally not used in the courtyard where the head of the family lives.
It's just that when she saw these four words, some fragments flashed in Ling Qingrui's mind, and in her memory, Ling Qingrui, who was young, stood here and looked up at the plaque, a tall man beside her, caressing her head lovingly, and said in a soft voice: "Rui'er, mother's words are beautiful?" ”
Xiao Ling Qingrui clapped her hands happily and cheered for her good looks, and a woman in the distance walked over, her face full of helplessness, but the tenderness in it was difficult to hide.
The words on the plaque come from the mother Mo Chuyun, the word Yuncang, the deep affection contained in it is self-evident, the name of the main courtyard is inscribed by Mo Chuyun, and Ling Qingcang's deep love for her is even more obvious.
The two of them had a deep love for a lifetime, but they ended up with a tragic death, but before the sadness in Ling Qingrui's heart swelled, she heard a sentence from behind her: "Qingqing, in the future, our courtyard will also be inscribed by you, okay?" ”
