Early the next morning, everyone had breakfast together in Shou'an Hall, and then went to the front hall together to chat with the old lady.

"Like smoke," said the old lady slowly, "in a few days, it will be your birthday." ”

"Yes, my mother remembers." Liu Ruyan smiled lightly and said to everyone, "This year is really fast, and in a few years, we will be old." ”

She touched her cheek as she spoke, looking really worried.

The third lady, Zhou Wenzhuo, immediately said, "Don't worry, eldest lady, even if you are really old, you still have charm, and the years are always very tolerant of beauties like you." ”

Liu Ruyan was immediately very useful when she heard this, and raised her chin proudly, in her opinion, whether it was Pan Feiyan or Zhou Wenzhuo, they were far from her in appearance.

"Like smoke," the old lady spoke again, "there is one thing that I have been thinking about, I will call everyone here today, Ruiqing and Ying Ning are also here, I will talk about it." ”

When everyone heard the old lady say this, they couldn't help but become serious and looked at it seriously.

"It's been eight years since Huai'an died." Every time she mentioned her eldest son, the old lady couldn't help but be moved, in her heart, it was her most beloved child.

Jiang Yingning stood beside the old lady, and when she saw this, she gently patted the old lady's shoulder and comforted the old lady.

The old lady turned around and smiled at Jiang Yingning, reassuring her, and continued, "Ruyan, our Hou Mansion is not a place without human feelings, but we have been thinking about Ruiqing and Yingning's family affairs before, so some things have been delayed and not mentioned, I think it's time now." ”

When Liu Ruyan heard this, her hands immediately clenched a little, and she almost guessed what the old lady was going to say.

Sure enough, I heard the old lady continue, "You are still young, and you can't live alone for the rest of your life, after so many years, you are worthy of the Hou Mansion, and you have to think about yourself in the future." ”

This happened suddenly, not only Liu Ruyan was stunned, but even Pan Feiyan and Zhou Wenzhuo were so shocked that they couldn't speak, but Jiang Ruiqing and Jiang Yingning looked indifferent, obviously knowing it a long time ago.

Liu Ruyan noticed the reaction of the two children, and guessed in her heart that the old lady should have asked their opinions, and they agreed before they came to tell themselves.

What is this? Do grandparents drive themselves away together? It's really a good calculation.

Liu Ruyan immediately got up, took a few steps forward and knelt down, "Mother, why did you suddenly say such a thing?" Over the years, Ruyan has never had two hearts for the Hou Mansion and the Hou Ye, and has never thought of remarrying, is the mother going to drive her daughter-in-law away? ”

"Don't worry." The old lady didn't believe half a word of what Liu Ruyan said, and said straight to the point, "In terms of dowry, the Hou Mansion will prepare well for you, no matter what, you are a first-class lady, the Hou Mansion will not treat you badly, and no one will look down on you." ”

Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth with hatred, how big is the family business of the Hou Mansion, the old lady is dead, she is the master of the Hou Mansion, and now she wants to send herself away with a dowry?

It's a dream.

She said with tears in her eyes, "Mother, my daughter-in-law really doesn't want to leave, and she never wants to leave, although Ruiqing and Ying Ning are both older, how can they be willing to leave them as a mother?" Mother, daughter-in-law will never remarry. ”

The old lady frowned, Liu Ruyan said so resolutely, it surprised her.

She glanced sideways at Jiang Yingning, who smiled and didn't speak.

"Mother," at this time, Jiang Ruiqing stood up, walked to Liu Ruyan's side and helped the person up, "Mother, grandmother's words are for your future consideration, even if you remarry, Ying Ning and I are still your children, and we will often visit you." ”

He said with a sincere face, "Mother, over the years, how boring it has been for you to stay alone in Jinhuatang, Ying Ning and I are getting older, and we don't have time to accompany you, we all hope that you can find a good home." ”

Liu Ruyan saw that Jiang Ruiqing was like this, and she really hated it, but she couldn't attack at this time, so she could only cry Pear Blossom with rain said, "Ruiqing, even if others don't understand, don't you understand?" How deep do I feel for your father, and how good can I marry someone else? ”

Hearing such words, Jiang Ruiqing only felt his head buzzing, and looked at Liu Ruyan's eyes that couldn't hide the incredulity.

"Ruiqing, you help your mother persuade your grandmother," Liu Ruyan didn't notice Jiang Ruiqing's reaction, she knew that Jiang Ruiqing was soft-hearted and would definitely help herself, "Mother don't remarry, mother will never leave the Hou Mansion for the rest of her life." ”

Jiang Ruiqing was completely desperate, he withdrew his hand, stood up in a reluctant position, and finally glanced at Liu Ruyan again, before leaving without giving up.

Liu Ruyan didn't know what was wrong with Jiang Ruiqing, and she didn't want to pay attention to it at this time, so she continued to say to the old lady, "Mother, please take back what you just said, Ruyan will not remarry in this life." ”

"Okay." In this kind of thing, the old lady couldn't force Liu Ruyan, so she could only nod and agree.

"Grandmother," Jiang Yingning suddenly said, "Mother is too great, she has paid so much for the Hou Mansion, let's celebrate her on today's birthday." ”

Although the old lady was reluctant, if Jiang Yingning proposed it, she would definitely agree, "Okay, then take care of it." ”

However, Liu Ruyan subconsciously refused, because she didn't believe that Jiang Yingning would be so kind.

She hurriedly excused herself, "No need, mother, these are all things that a daughter-in-law should do, it's nothing." ”

"No, the more my mother says that, the more we should arrange it for my mother." Jiang Yingning immediately said to the old lady, "Grandmother, this matter will be handed over to Ying Ning, and when the time comes, Ying Ning will invite Cousin Mianmian as well, my mother has not seen her for many days, she must miss her very much." ”

"Okay, it's all up to you, you can do it." The old lady said dotingly.

Liu Ruyan knew that she couldn't excuse herself, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "Mianmian is pregnant, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to come." ”

"Oh?" The old lady was slightly surprised, "This child is blessed, in this way, the Yan Wangfu should not treat her badly." ”

"But no, I saw the child yesterday, and Yan Shizi followed her every step of the way, taking care of her like a princess." Liu Ruyan looked proud.

"If that's the case, then she should be called back." Jiang Yingning suggested with great interest, "Let Yan Shizi come over, mother rest assured, I will let everyone be careful and not let anything happen to my cousin's child." ”

Liu Ruyan didn't understand what Jiang Yingning was going to do, but she was faintly uneasy in her heart, and she always felt that something was going to happen.

When everything was finalized, the old lady let the crowd disperse.

Out of Shou'an Hall, Liu Ruyan immediately revealed his true form, "Jiang Yingning, what the hell are you doing?" ”

"It's nothing." Jiang Yingning said with a smile, "Mother is about to celebrate her birthday, I have prepared a big gift for my mother, and my mother will definitely like it." ”

With that, she left with the people.
