Chapter 385: Manqi's Grudge
readx;? That night, Su Nuoyu lay on the bed, but tossed and turned, and did not feel sleepy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that Cheol-hoon is not in the capital, if she leaves the palace, she will definitely have to return to Xiaoyao Valley. Before going back, I still wanted to wait for Qingran to enter the palace and discuss with her.
It's just that Su Nuoyu doesn't know that Qing Ran has a lot of trivial matters in the past two days, and he has no skills at all. Since Ruan Zhong led the troops to the battle, Qing Ran would regularly return to Ruan's mansion to accompany the Jiang family to talk and talk. Ever since they heard Yeli talk about Ruan Tianhao, Qing Ran often went back to visit the Jiang family.
On this day, she went back to Ruan's Mansion alone and accompanied Jiang Shi for a walk in the mansion: "Mother, you don't seem to be looking good in the past two days, is there anything uncomfortable?"
Jiang glanced at Qingran lovingly and praised: "Good boy, it's rare for you to be so careful. If it was Tiance's kid, he would definitely not notice so much. As the saying goes, a daughter is a mother's intimate little padded jacket, which is true at all. If my mother has a caring daughter-in-law like you, it is like getting a good girl. It is also Tiance's filial piety to his mother. ”
Qingran was a little embarrassed to be praised, and lowered his head shyly: "My mother praises me like this, but I am very ashamed! Tiance is too busy on weekdays, but in fact, he is also thinking about you." ”
"My mother knows, my mother knows. Tiance is a good boy, and you are also a good boy. Tiance is busy on weekdays, but with you by his side, my mother can rest assured. "Jiang Shi is extremely satisfied with Qingran.
Although Qingran's life experience is a little bumpy, her character and temperament are not picky, and she is not inferior to everyone's ladies. This family affair really made her happy. In comparison, it is more hearty than Tianhao's county lord!
Qingran's temperament has always been straightforward, but in front of the elders, he can't let go. Especially in the face of Tiance's father, she was even more ashamed. She has no father and mother since she was a child, and now in front of Jiang, Jiang's love just makes up for her lack of maternal love since childhood. Therefore, her filial piety to the Jiang family is not entirely due to heavenly policy, but more from the heart.
"Mother, Tiance over there, with me, you can rest assured. In fact, we are more worried about you, now that your father is not at home, and we can't be by our side every day, you have to take care of yourself!" Qingran said emotionally.
Jiang Shi sighed and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself." ”
"You also said that when I came to see you two days ago, your complexion was much better than it is now! Is it because you have a bad appetite? Or is it not good to rest?" asked Qing Ran worriedly.
Jiang shook his head: "I don't know how to do it in the past two days, I always feel that this heart is not in decline, there is no ...... in decline."
Hearing this, Qingran chuckled in her heart, but her face was always as calm as water, and she listened patiently to her story.
Jiang and Qingran were walking like a mother and daughter, and the scene was seen by the passing Sun, who saw her standing there and watching for a long time, and then snorted in a sour tone: "For fear that others don't know that she has a daughter-in-law, she has been walking around this mansion all day long! Who is this showing off?"
"Second lady, don't be angry with the eldest lady, we can't do it!" the maid beside her persuaded, "No matter what, our young master Tianhao is married to the county lord of the palace." But the one from the eldest young master is just an orphan girl!"
The maid's two words really made Sun feel comfortable to listen to, and a smile bloomed on her face: "Hong'er, if you talk about it, for so many years, you are the best by my side." ”
Hong'er showed a touch of pride on her face, and then said: "Second lady, if the slave and maid help you to see the county lord, right? Now that the lord and the young master Tianhao are not here, if you walk around with the county lord often, aren't you also as close as a mother and daughter?"
When Sun heard this, the smile on his face froze: "Like a mother and daughter?"
Hong'er didn't see her face change, and said blindly: "Yes." In fact, the county lord is also a good person, he never puts the county lord on the shelf, and treats his subordinates gently and kindly. ”
"Hmph!" Sun snorted, "I used to think she was an honest person, but I don't want to learn to buy people's hearts now! Even the people around me say that she is good, is it that I am not good?"
Hong'er finally realized her anger, restrained her smugness, and said cautiously, "The slave said the wrong thing. I also ask the second lady for forgiveness. ”
Sun glanced at her coldly and walked away.
Hong'er stood in place, hating to slap herself twice. I can't say anything, but I want to mention the county lord here with the second lady, alas......
In fact, it can't be said who is right or who is wrong in this matter, not long after the lord of Manqi County came to the house, one day he was walking in the garden and happened to meet the eldest lady. Xu is like-minded, but the two talked for a while, and it happened that they were seen by the second lady at that time. At that time, the second lady was still bent on entrapping the county lord, so that she could be proud in front of the eldest lady. Unexpectedly, in private, I saw the two talking happily.
So she helped the second lady to walk over, and the eldest lady saw that the second lady was coming, and said a few words lightly, so she excused herself to leave. This is a common thing, and it is not worth being angry about. The key is the county lord, who was originally smiling, but when she saw the eldest lady leaving, she also calmed down.
This incident made the second lady angry, she always felt that the county lord was above the top, and she couldn't look down on her status as a partial house, and she was bent on climbing the main house. After that, he was seen by the second lady a few times, and each time he was the county lord who had a good conversation with the eldest lady, but after seeing the second lady, he talked a lot less.
After many times, the second lady took this matter to heart, and gradually alienated the county lord......
Today, I also blame her, how can I be happy for a while, so I mentioned the county lord in front of the second lady! Isn't this an obvious attempt to poke the second lady's heart? Hong'er blamed herself for her face, didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly followed the second lady and left.
The Sun family, who was angry with the Jiang family, did not go back to the side courtyard directly, but went to Manqi.
Since Ruan Tianhao left, Manqi has become more and more lonely in this mansion. The palace can't go back, and there is not even a person to talk to in the Ruan Mansion, and life is indeed difficult.
Speaking of which, Manqi's temperament is not like King Pingnan, she is gentle and demure, and she has that noble and elegant temperament. In the past, in the palace, I was either busy with female celebrities or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or I occasionally went out of the house to go shopping with other ladies, although the days were monotonous, but they were better than now.
When she got married, she still felt that her mother was good to her, and she rarely had a mother-in-law as enthusiastic as her mother. For Manqi, who lacks maternal love, it is tantamount to directly arousing the deepest desire in her heart.
But within two days of such a harmonious day, my mother seemed to be a different person, and her speech was no longer so polite, and she began to become bitter and mean. Every month, when she was not feeling well, she would run around and gossip a lot, with the aim of accusing her of not getting pregnant sooner.
But how can she be blamed for all this? Doesn't she want a child? God knows, she even dreams of wanting a child! But where can she decide this kind of thing? During that time, I don't know what Tianhao was busy with, he went out early and returned late every day, and rarely touched her.
Occasionally, she would endure her shyness and take the initiative to bring it up, but whenever that time, Tianhao always looked at her with such surprised eyes, as if she had said something deviant. More often, Tianhao will find all kinds of reasons to explain that he is tired and has no energy to cooperate with her......
How can she get pregnant on such a day? But how can she talk to her mother-in-law about these boudoir matters? So every time she faces her mother-in-law's disgusting tone, she can only helplessly say nothing.
At the same time, the mother-in-law is an extremely strong person, and she will always count the eldest mother's in front of her, or say that the father-in-law is eccentric. But in her eyes, the eldest mother is more like the mother in her memory! the same gentle, kind, approachable, the same full of poetry and books, full of economy.
During that time, as long as she had time, she would go to talk to the eldest mother, but after being bumped into by her mother-in-law a few times, she said something insinuating or referring to Sang scolding Huai, which derogated the eldest mother very badly.
Later, slowly, the eldest mother began to avoid her as if she had nothing to do with her, trying not to have anything to do with her. As a result, she became even more lonely......
"County Lord, it's not okay for you to always be bored in the room like this, the weather is good today, the slave maid will accompany you out for a walk!" Lian'er saw her sitting there, with a sad face, and couldn't bear to persuade.
Manqi raised her head, looked at Lian'er, and asked faintly: "Lian'er, Tianhao has been gone for so long, why didn't he send me a letter?
"County Lord, don't worry, my uncle won't have an accident. Two days ago, the eldest lady also received a letter from the master, which stated that everything was fine. If there is really something wrong with my uncle, how can I not tell the eldest lady!" Lian'er Kuan explained.
After hearing this, Manqi nodded slowly: "That's good." Maybe Tianhao is outside, too busy to take care of it. After finishing speaking, he looked out the window in a daze.
Lian'er stood beside Manqi, looking at her like this, she was really distressed and angry in the bottom of her heart! The county lord is really too good, how can he think of so many reasons for his uncle every time? My uncle is just busy, but he is just a general, and I don't know how much more idle he is compared to the old man. But even if it is between the lord and the eldest lady, they can receive letters every ten days, but my uncle has not even heard from him in the past few months.
But the county lord is bent on protecting her uncle, and she is really powerless. In fact, it turned out that she also felt that her uncle was good, upright and brave, especially when they met for the first time, he drew a knife to help him when he saw injustice, and saved the county lord in danger, which was really moving. It was from that time that the county lord began to secretly promise his uncle.
But after the wedding, the uncle seemed to be a different person, and he didn't say anything to the county lord, and he didn't seem to respect the prince very much. Even the second lady also started, and it was not the county lord who picked on him everywhere! The county lord had a good temperament, never quarreled, and always lowered his head to listen to those unbearable numbers. If it were her, she would definitely be severely punished!
