Chapter 31: The long-awaited showdown
Su Jinyin knew that as long as he nodded at this time, he could gain the great favor of Old Madam Zheng.
However, she didn't want to admit it.
"It's my brother. The elder brother decided to go to the border gate. His news stimulated his mother, who fainted on the spot, and his father was ashamed, so he didn't indulge Aunt Zhao anymore. Su Jinyin hid what he had done.
At this time, she naturally asked the question she had always wanted to ask: "Grandmother, am I really like my mother? Am I really my mother's daughter?"
Old Madam Zheng froze. She looked at Su Jinyin and didn't speak for a long time.
Su Jinyin picked up the tea on the side of Mrs. Zheng's hand and brought it to her grandmother: "Grandmother, I am not the only one who has such thoughts. After my mother's scissors were taken away, I was locked up in the ancestral hall. My brother, my brother, came over, and he wanted me to run away. ”
"Ming Jin!" Old Madam Zheng felt that Su Jinyin's words today surprised her too much. She expected that Su Jinyin had something to hide, so she left Su Jinyin to speak alone. But Mrs. Zheng never thought that at her age, she would be affected by such an impact.
The granddaughter has little contact, but the grandson, Mrs. Zheng is still very concerned.
Su Mingjin, the character of the eldest grandson, Mrs. Zheng thinks she understands it quite well. Such a taciturn and calm child actually did something to ask his sister to abscond away from home.
How much I don't believe that my family will protect this sister?
Mrs. Zheng really wanted to go to the capital immediately and ask her daughter why she did this. But her sanity told her that it was impossible.
As a mother-in-law, suddenly entering Beijing, it is easy for Su Keli, who is a son-in-law, to think more. What's more, there is such a vicious vixen beside Su Keli.
Old Madam Zheng has no good impression of the Zhao family at all now. After all, she has lived in the inner house for so many years, and just because the Zhao family can continue to slander after being interrupted three or four times, Old Madam Zheng knows that this is a powerful character.
Isn't her second daughter-in-law, who pretends to be smart, also have no power to fight back today? Zhao has never had such a panicked time.
Mrs. Zheng knew very well that her daughter had won this time. If he hadn't fainted, if Su Mingjin and Su Jinyin's children were not there, if Su Keli had forgotten his old feelings, a random change would be enough to make his daughter suffer a big loss this time.
Mrs. Zheng personally helped Su Jinyin up, and wiped Su Jinyin's tears with her own handkerchief. She said categorically: "Jinyin, you must not fall for the Zhao family. You are definitely your mother's biological daughter. When I gave birth to you, your grandmother and I were there. I've hugged you myself, how could it be wrong?"
"Besides, your eyebrows and eyes are exactly your mother's childhood. How could you and Ming Jin have such a ridiculous idea?" Old Madam Zheng carefully looked at Su Jinyin's eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips, and became more and more sure that she was not wrong.
Zheng Xiangsi is her daughter, before Zheng Xiangsi came out of the cabinet, isn't it what Su Jinyin looks like now?
Mrs. Zheng couldn't understand her daughter's behavior, so she could only appease her granddaughter first. She put the tea that Su Jinyin was holding back on the table, and personally pulled Su Jinyin to sit next to her, and then asked, "Then where is the mistake of Su Fuser slandering you?"
Old Madam Zheng didn't think that with the status of this granddaughter, she could protect herself in the Su family with just a word of denial, and let Su Fuser go to Liangzhou.
Even with Su Mingjin's help, it would not be possible.
Su Jinyin knew that her grandmother was a really smart person.
She did not completely conceal this point, and made it clear: "As early as when I left home to recite sutras for my mother in the nunnery, I heard from the maid that Fusse was wearing exactly the same clothes as me to meet my second cousin. I deliberately left a mistake to lead my mother to find out. Later, when I was suddenly picked up in the temple, I deceived Fusse once. ”
"How did you deceive yourself?" asked Old Madam Zheng with interest.
Su Jinyin lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "It's just that Fusse thinks that when she imitated me, she left traces of her own handwriting." ”
"When you are young, you are still only smart. Old Madam Zheng raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Jinyin, quite a pun.
Su Jinyin knew that Mrs. Zheng had completely figured it out, and knew why she would let Liu's design come to this point. As an elder, of course, I don't like the younger generation to calculate myself.
She stood up and said with a blank face, "Grandmother, I was wrong. I'm too worried about myself. ”
This attitude of knowing mistakes and changing them pleases Mrs. Zheng very well. After all, after knowing the situation of her daughter Zheng Xiangsi, Mrs. Zheng was out of reach, and the fastest helper she thought of was the granddaughter in front of her.
Old Madam Zheng stood up, pulled Su Jinyin to sit beside her again, patted her hand, and said, "Grandmother understands you. If a person can't even protect himself, let alone protect others?"
"You are a good boy, you have suffered a lot of grievances in the past, this time, just stay in Usucheng for a few more days. Let your grandmother compensate you well. Old Madam Zheng gave Su Jinyin a promise.
Su Jinyin knew that until this moment, she could be regarded as having truly passed the test of Old Madam Zheng.
Will such a clear-sighted old lady really allow the Liu family to cover the sky with one hand? Su Jinyin suddenly felt that she should go and ask to see her eldest aunt Wang again.
What I didn't expect was that Su Jinyin hadn't looked for the Wang family yet, and the Wang family's people came to the door first.
The maid who came was a little eye-catching, but very active.
First of all, put the token of the Wang family into Su Jinyin's hand, and then the maid asked: "Miss Biao, please play the song that our lady played at the old lady's place again!"
Su Jinyin's face was puzzled.
The maid was afraid that she would not be willing, so she knelt down and kowtowed, "Miss Cousin, the slave begs for you." The slave and maid kowtow to you, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, Miss Cousin, please move once. ”
The maid kowtowed without any discount, and after only two or three strokes, blood was seen on her forehead.
Su Jinyin asked Zhuyue to help the maid up, and asked, "You have to make a clear statement before I can make a decision." ”
"Don't hide it from Miss Cousin, Madame's illness, the doctor has not been able to find the reason. The slave and maid also did not know medical skills, but the slave and maid knew that the lady slept the deepest in the old lady's courtyard today. The maid did not hide it, and told the story that the Wang family wanted to leave Mrs. Zheng's courtyard today, but rested in the side room for a while because she was unwell.
The maid looked at Su Jinyin with tears on her face, and pleaded: "This is really something that hasn't happened for a long time. Please also ask Miss Biao to play another song for Madame. ”
"You came to me, does your lady know?" Su Jinyin asked, holding the jade bracelet that the maid had presented earlier.
She had already remembered where the familiarity Wang had given her came from.
