Chapter 282: Bone and Flesh Centrifugation

Duan said: "Grandma thinks I instigated her? But I was wronged because the Duan family told her a family matter, she didn't want to, begged me, I saw several decent families for her, and cheekily said things for her, but she still didn't think it was good enough, and actually hit the idea on your head, so I said those bastard words to you"

Wen Xian glanced at her, her face expressionless, but there was obviously half-belief in her eyes.

Duan secretly gritted his teeth, lowered his head and gently wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said: "In the end, I didn't discipline this niece daughter well, and almost called her hurt you, I know that I am at fault, but I never instigated her to do such shameless things, and after I knew it, I almost fainted in anger, thinking that if the old lady and the old man knew, I don't know what she would think of me." I also have no shame to protect my niece anymore, Hengzhi has told her about her family affairs at home, I am an aunt who married outside, why should I have to fight against my mother's family for a girl who doesn't know what to do? He ordered her to go down, find a reliable boat family, and then pick a few honest family members, and send her back to her hometown in a few days, which also saved her from staying in the capital for a long time, and her heart was also big, and she dared to think of the young master of a high-ranking official family without looking at her identity."

She sighed, raised her eyes to look at Wen Xian again, and said sincerely: "Grandma, I am telling the truth, for you and the Gu family, I will send Kerou away ruthlessly." You must also understand my hard work, and you must no longer listen to her nonsense and alienate her relatives. You are now married, although you are in your aunt's family, being a daughter-in-law is not as good as being a daughter at home, without the support of your mother's family, your life will not be easy"

Wen Xian lowered her head: "Why doesn't my daughter understand this truth?" Rest assured, madam, I know what to do. But I sighed in my heart, this stepmother is really ruthless, even her niece and nephew are abandoned, I still have to be more vigilant, as long as I do enough work, I can't let her hold the handle, otherwise she will be asked to calculate. What she said just now was clearly threatening herself

It's just that I pity the cousin of the Duan family, although she has bad intentions, but most of what she told herself is true, if it weren't for her reminder, after she entered the Liu family, her eyes were black, maybe she would have to ask those cheap maids to calculate. It's a pity that I can't intercede for her, so I can only hope that after she returns to her hometown, the Duan clan will find a good family for her.

Duan Shi saw that she no longer said anything to question herself, but when she listened to what she said, but looking at her bowed head and silent appearance, it didn't seem to be really convinced, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but after thinking about it, Wen Xian had a knot in her heart, how could she turn the corner so easily? It can only be drawn slowly.

Thinking of this, Duan remembered the old lady's instructions again, hesitated, and asked, "You and Brother Ning have been married for three days, how do you get along?" I want to hear the truth. ”

Wen Xian was very vigilant in her heart, and said slowly: "Naturally, it is good." Mrs. asked what this was for? ”

Duan Shi repeated the words of the old lady Yu and said, "This is what the old lady meant. You see when it's convenient, try to ask Brother Ning, right? Your father has an official position, and you have a bright face, so you have a more stable foothold in the Liu family today. Even if it doesn't work, it's just a private conversation between young couples, and it's not in the way. ”

Wen Xian was very skeptical that this was really what her grandmother meant, so why didn't her grandmother tell her directly? She raised her eyes to look at the Duan family, with some suspicion in her eyes: "This is a matter in the court outside, how can I, a woman in the inner house, meddle in it?" Come to think of it, my father already had a charter. ”

Duan Shi frowned: "The master has been in Beijing for so long, in addition to giving you a wedding, he is busy with this matter, and you have also seen the results." It's not that I really want you to ask your father-in-law for an official, but it's just to find out with Brother Ning in private, what's so difficult about this? ”

Wen Xian remembered Liu Dongning's attitude towards herself, and wanted to say it directly, but she was worried that she would lose face, so she pursed her lips and did not answer.

Duan only thought that she was still wary of herself, sighed, and said listlessly: "If you don't want to, I can't either." If you ask your grandmother and father directly, you will know that it is not my own opinion. ”

When Wen Xian heard this, she had some doubts, thinking that her stepmother's words were true? I planned to listen to my father's meaning first.

However, when it was time for the family to reunite and eat, Second Master Gu didn't mention it.

He was embarrassed to mention it. This so-called reunion dinner is actually two tables of banquets in one room, one seat is for the man and son-in-law of the Gu family, Liu Dongning, and the other seat is for the Gu family's daughters and Wen Xian. Before the banquet, he and his son-in-law had been chatting for a while, and they knocked on the side several times, but Liu Dongning was a talented man who loved elegance and poetry and books, and he didn't even hear the slightest hint, and he didn't want his son-in-law to seek an official for himself. He has begged countless people in the past two months, and he just whispered to those officials, and he did the same to his son-in-law and nephew, what dignity did he have?

After eating, the Liu family sent someone to urge Dongning and his wife to go back early. Neither Old Madam Yu nor Second Master Gu had the opportunity to talk to Wen Xian in private.

Wen Xian had been waiting for her grandmother and father to speak for a long time, and when she saw that they didn't mention it for a long time, although she knew that it was inconvenient in front of everyone, she also suspected that it was Duan's lying, thinking that since she didn't mention it when she returned to the door, her mother's family would always send someone to say it again in the future, so she didn't take it to heart.

Who knew that after Wen Xian returned to the door, first Mrs. Yu had a small cold because of the cold wind on a rainy day, and then Jiang Shi was tired of two happy events in a row and fell ill, Master Gu found that the direction of the stroke was a little wrong, and found an excuse to go home to recuperate, and Wen Xian also used the excuse that the newlywed did not go to the yamen, and stayed at home to study every day. At the same time, the Duan clan finally found a trading firm that had personal relations with the Duan clan in Kangcheng, and persuaded them to take Duan Kerou with them when they set off south three days later. Gu Er recently got acquainted with an official of the ministry, and they had similar temperaments with each other, and they ate wine and talked about poetry in one place for three days. Everyone in the Gu family has something to do, so they didn't care about Wen Xian's side for a while.

Seeing this, Wen Xian concluded that the incident was just a stepmother's own assertion for selfishness, thinking that there was already an official in her mother's family, and her uncle was an official in the Ministry of Rites, and wanted to find an official position for her father, where could she ask for her father-in-law? This is obviously a trap dug by the stepmother, to make her in-laws look down on her, her husband Dongning is the most tired of fighting for power and profit in his life, if she really opens this mouth, he will be more and more displeased in the future. So Wen Xian put this matter behind her and didn't mention it.

The second master Gu waited and waited, and he didn't wait for his daughter and son-in-law to send back a word, thinking that several new friends he had met recently were not slippery, and he refused to show his mouth at all, and he refused to promise at all, and he was also a little anxious, and asked his wife again and again: "Did you really tell the fifth girl that day?" It's not vague, is it? That kid has always been a little honest, maybe you didn't understand enough, she didn't figure it out? ”

Duan Shi said with some grievances: "Master, I did say it, it was clear, but looking at the look of the five girls, she didn't seem to be very happy, saying that this is a matter for men outside, and she is not easy to interfere with as a woman in the house." I'm not her mother, how dare I say anything about her? Thinking that no matter whether she likes it or not, she will always give a clear word to her mother-in-law and master. Where did you expect that she still hasn't heard back? Maybe you forgot? Shall I send someone to ask again? ”

"Go quickly, go quickly" The second master Gu was impatient, and personally watched his wife call the capable mother-in-law, and explained word by word, and watched the mother-in-law go out with his own eyes, but after half a day, the person came back and asked in person.

The mother-in-law said: "My aunt said, this is a matter for men outside, she doesn't dare to ask in the inner house, please don't bother with it, the master must have his own charter." ”

Second Master Gu was stunned, and glared at her in disbelief: "You say it again?" ”

The mother-in-law repeated it carefully, and the second master Gu's face turned dark, and he slapped it on the table with one palm: "If an unfilial girl climbs a high branch, she dares to deny her father?" ”

Duan quickly sent the mother-in-law and the other girls out, thought about it, and asked carefully: "Maybe my aunt and grandmother have some misunderstandings?" She has a lot of suspicions about me as a stepmother now, maybe she doesn't believe that this is what the master meant? Why don't you tell her personally? ”

Second Master Gu snorted coldly: "Tell me to whisper to my own daughter?" She was not afraid of folding Fushou" was angry for a long time, and finally threw her sleeves and went out to find her mother to complain, and asked her old man to send someone to say it again.

Duan Shi watched her husband go out, his face immediately became gloomy, he sat for a long time, suddenly sneered, and said in a low voice: "Confused things" Then he got up and went out of the door, turned into the backyard back cover room from the small door on the side of the house, walked to the front of the westernmost room, and asked the mother-in-law guarding the door in a cold voice: "Can you be honest these days?" ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Back to the second wife, Miss Biao has been much more honest these days, except for the occasional cry, she doesn't dare to make trouble again." ”

"Open the door, I'm going in."

The woman hurriedly opened the door, Duan walked into the house, Duan Kerou, who was lying on the bed, raised her head quickly, her eyes burst out with excitement, and she immediately pounced, kneeling and hugging Duan's legs: "Auntie, aunt, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong, you spare me, I will be obedient, whether it's the Su family or the District family, whoever you want me to marry, I will never dare to complain anymore, please, don't send me back......"

Duan Shi glanced at her coldly, and saw that his nephew's little face was as pale as paper, with tears in her eyes, Chu Chu was pitiful, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, and quickly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes had already returned to calm.

Seeing that she was indifferent, Duan Kerou couldn't help but tremble, gritted her teeth and said, "Auntie, I really don't have a heart, I'm just ......" Her eyes flashed, "I'm just scared for a while, and I'm worried about the fifth sister, so I will talk nonsense, but I definitely don't mean to think about the fifth brother-in-law...... I...... It's Qiushui who doesn't like me and deliberately slanders, and ...... And the ninth sister," she raised her head suddenly, "It was Gu Wenyi who framed me when the uncle of the Liu family said that she was married, and Mrs. Liu took a fancy to me, so she was jealous, but she has always pretended to be generous, and only now has she found a chance to take revenge......"

"That's enough" Duan's gaze completely cold, "Do you think that if you climb on someone else, I will believe you?" How many chances have I given you? I didn't expect you to wake up to this day, and you still have the face to blame someone else."

Duan Kerou cried: "Auntie, please...... Your niece kowtows to you to make amends, don't marry your niece to that kind of person......"

"I'm not going to marry you to that kind of person."

Duan Kerou immediately stopped crying and raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise.

But Duan's next words made her fall into an ice cave: "I'm just your aunt, how dare I decide your marriage?" Your marriage is naturally determined by the Duan family, no matter who you want to marry, it is the Duan family's business."

Duan Kerou looked at her aunt blankly, and her trembling hands tightly grasped the hem of the other party's skirt: "Don't ...... Auntie, just spare me...... Didn't you say that the eldest young master of the district family likes his niece and daughter? If the niece is willing to marry him or Su Xiucai, after the niece passes the door, she will definitely say a lot of good things for her uncle in front of Mrs. Wan, and ask Master Wan and Mrs. Wan to help her uncle find a good job, if the niece marries the businessman, won't it be useless to the aunt and uncle......"

Duan Shi stared at his niece in disgust: "Do you think I will still believe your words and marry you into a good family, so that you will have the opportunity to rely on the power of your in-laws' family to turn around and pinch me?" Less daydreaming" paused, and softened his tone slightly, "You are obedient to me, and tomorrow I will follow the people I sent to set off back to Nannan to marry." I have inquired, and although your fiancé is older, he is a very shrewd man, and he has a big family, but he does not have a son who is angry. When you pass the door, you are a serious grandmother, and when you give birth to a son-in-law, you will have your own blessings in the future, and you will have to think about those who you are not worthy of, if you dare to move the slightest crooked mind, do not blame my aunt for being ruthless and the board that day may not fall on you."

Duan broke away from Duan Kerou's hand and turned away, Duan Kerou hurriedly chased after him, but the door panel that was quickly closed blocked the way, she screamed, sat on the ground and cried.

Duan Kerou was sent on a merchant ship heading south the next day and left the capital without a sound. Wen Yi didn't know anything about it, but a few days later, she unexpectedly welcomed two unexpected guests.

Mrs. Yu and Master Gu came back to Sheep Liver Hutong for the first time.

Wen Yi helped Mrs. Lu out to greet her, looking at the kind smiles on the faces of the two elders, and her heart was shocked.

Mrs. Lu was very calm, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is too rigid about etiquette, we are so old, and we are decades of old women, what kind of etiquette do you pay attention to?" ”

Mrs. Yu said with a smile: "It's boring to be bored at home all day. I heard that the nine girls cleaned up the house very well, so I came to take a look, and I also visited you once, I can't ask you to see me every time, right? ”

Old Madam Lu smiled slightly and looked at Master Gu: "Isn't the eldest nephew sick?" How can I be free today? ”

Master Gu said respectfully: "Mother is coming to visit Aunt Six, how can my nephew not accompany her?" Your old man came to the door several times, and your nephew was busy with official business, so he was negligent in the number of etiquette, and he happened to come to make amends to his aunt today. ”

Wen Yi raised her eyebrows, feeling more and more that something was wrong in her heart. When did the people in the long room become so polite to the sixth room?。.。
