Jiang Yingning grabbed Liu Ruyan's wrist.

Her eyes were slightly cold, and she said in a calm tone, "I really didn't know it was my mother last night, and I asked my mother to calm her anger." ”

"You put ......" Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth angrily, and almost swore a dirty word.

At this time, Jiang Yingning was only ten years old, a head shorter than her, and her wrists were slender and thin.

But the little hand of the young child grabbed her wrist steadily, so that her slap could not be continued.

Liu Ruyan had no choice but to withdraw her hand forcefully, and said viciously, "Let's go, come with me to the old lady now." ”

"No, I can't." Liu Mianmian immediately reminded in a whisper beside him, "If you make trouble in Shou'an Hall, Xianglian's matter will not be hidden." ”

Liu Ruyan said confidently, "That's right, let the old lady make the decision for Xianglian, and give it directly to Ruiqing." ”

Liu Mianmian hesitated a little, "Auntie, do you think the old lady will agree?" ”

Liu Ruyan thought for a while before she said with certainty, "Don't worry, she will definitely agree." ”

The group soon arrived at Shou'an Hall, but they didn't expect Jiang Ruiqing and the third lady to be there.

Liu Ruyan's expression changed slightly, did they know their plans?

Jiang Ruiqing saw Liu Ruyan's embarrassed appearance, stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward a little unbearably and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

The third lady, Zhou Wenzhuo, saw Zhou Xianglian following behind, and subconsciously frowned.

Liu Ruyan pushed away her son, knelt directly in front of the old lady and cried, "Mother, you must be the master of your daughter-in-law and Mianmian." ”

The old lady frowned dissatisfiedly, glanced at Jiang Yingning who was following behind, and then reluctantly asked, "What's wrong?" How did you make it look like this? ”

"Mother, this child is so unfilial that she even asked people to tie me up with Mianmian and Xianglian, and lock us in the firewood room." The willows are like smoke and tears are like rain.

Zhou Wenzhuo showed an incredible expression, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Ruyan, "Sister-in-law, you can go back with me to clean up first." ”

"No, you don't." Liu Ruyan said as if he was smoking, "If the old lady doesn't make us the decision today, I won't kneel here and get up." ”

She said and cried loudly, "What a failure of my mother, what has become of being bullied by my own daughter, and what face do I have to live." ”

"Alright." The old lady scolded coldly, "Don't cry, do you still look like a mother?" ”

She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Yingning, and her voice softened a little, "Yingning, you say, what's going on?" ”

"Grandmother, last night's incident was indeed abrupt." Jiang Yingning looked apologetic, "It's just that the mother and the three of them are sneaky, and they didn't even mention a lamp when they entered the eldest brother's yard, I thought they were thieves." ”

The old lady immediately asked, "Ruyan, what are you doing in Ruiqing's courtyard in the middle of the night?" ”

"Mother, daughter-in-law is not for Ruiqing's family business." Liu Ruyan looked like a mother's grievance, "These days, because of this incident, my daughter-in-law can't eat or sleep well." ”

The old lady didn't quite understand, "Ruyan, you can make it clear?" Do these two things have anything to do with each other? ”

"Mother, didn't my daughter-in-law say a few days ago that she wanted to arrange a room for Ruiqing?" Liu Ruyan wiped her tears, and then said, "Tonight is for this." ”

Jiang Yingning immediately looked incredulous, "Grandmother, my mother is clearly quibbling, there were only four of them who went to the eldest brother's yard at that time, could it be that my mother still wants to give the red plum to the eldest brother?" ”

The old lady suddenly frowned dissatisfied.

"Of course it's not Hongmei." Hongmei is old and her appearance is not outstanding, Liu Ruyan naturally knows that the old lady will not be satisfied.

She subconsciously glanced at Zhou Wenzhuo next to her before continuing, "Mother, the person I chose is Xianglian." ”

"What?" Zhou Wenzhuo's mouth opened wide in shock, and he looked at Liu Ruyan in disbelief, "Sister-in-law, how can you ......?"

She has a weak temperament, and when she heard such an unbelievable thing, tears immediately fell, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I should have sent Xianglian back to my hometown a long time ago, I hurt her." ”

"Aunt," at this time, Zhou Xianglian, who had been silent, took the initiative to explain, "Xianglian is willing to be a room for the eldest young master." ”

"You!" Zhou Wenzhuo didn't expect Zhou Xianglian to be so spineless, he staggered forward and slapped him, "What did you say?" ”

Zhou Xianglian was unkempt, covered her face and looked at Zhou Wenzhuo stubbornly, "My business, don't worry about my aunt." ”

"It's just nonsense." The old lady slapped the table, "Liu Ruyan, Xianglian is a young lady from a serious family, and a guest of our Hou Mansion, how can you make such a confused decision?" ”

"Mother, I made such a decision all for Ruiqing." Liu Ruyan said excitedly.

Jiang Ruiqing said with a dead heart on the side, "But if Xianglian really fills the house for her son, then the son can only flee back to the border, and he will no longer have the face to face the third uncle and three aunts." ”

Liu Ruyan looked at Jiang Ruiqing with hatred, "If Xianglian fills your house, you can marry a princess and come back, where do you still need to go to the border to suffer?" ”

"Mother is a dream." Jiang Ruiqing sighed helplessly.

Liu Ruyan immediately assured the old lady, "Mother, the queen has agreed to this matter, as long as Ruiqing marries Xianglian to fill the house, she will help Ruiqing find a princess to be his wife." ”

"The Empress agreed?" The old lady's tone trembled imperceptibly.

Jiang An'an naturally didn't know about it, but Liu Ruyan decided that if Jiang An'an was pulled into this matter, the old lady would definitely agree.

And on Jiang Anan's side, Liu Ruyan naturally had a way to force her to comply.

So, Liu Ruyan nodded without hesitation, "Yes, mother, the situation between the DPRK and China is not clear now, with more help, the position of the East Palace will be more stable." ”

She even took out the interests of the East Palace as a bargaining chip.

After Liu Ruyan finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Yingning confidently, and said as if asking for credit, "Everything my daughter-in-law has done is for the Hou Mansion and the East Palace, and also for Ruiqing's future career." ”

She was extremely aggrieved, "The daughter-in-law took into account the concerns of her mother and Ruiqing, so she acted cautiously last night, thinking about sending Xianglian over first and announcing this matter this morning, but she didn't expect ......"

She wiped her tears again, "I didn't expect Ying Ning to go to Ruiqing's room, and even asked the little maid to tie us up and throw us into the firewood room, mother, you must punish Ying Ning for this matter." ”

The old lady didn't speak, she believed what Liu Ruyan said, and the one in the palace didn't want to care about the life or death of the Hou Mansion for the benefit of the East Palace.

She was even more disappointed in her heart, and she couldn't say a word of sadness.

Jiang Yingning didn't expect Liu Ruyan to pull Jiang Anan in, but as far as she knew, Jiang Anan shouldn't know about it.

She looked at the old lady's expression and knew how disappointed the old lady was at this time.

Should she help Jiang Anan explain?
