Chapter Seventy-Four: Inexplicably Became Her Fault
Xin Nianyan came to the meditation courtyard, and the old lady was already waiting for her here.
Seeing Xin Nianyan come in, although her eyes flashed, her attitude was obviously much better than before.
"The smoke is back, come, come over and warm up the fire, it's not cold outside."
The Xin family used to be from the south, and they would burn a stove to keep warm in winter, and now it is no exception.
But the old lady burned here, and the other yards didn't burn.
Xin Nianyan sat down next to him and said obediently: "Fortunately, the sun is out today, it's not very cold, did grandmother have dinner?" ”
"Not yet, no, I heard that Yan'er is back, do you want to wait for you to come back and use it, Yan'er hasn't eaten with her grandmother for a few days." The old lady said.
"Yes, seeing that my grandmother is not in good health these days, Yan'er didn't dare to disturb her." Xin Nian flue.
She took the initiative to take the responsibility on herself, and sure enough, the old lady was just a good attitude of pretending, and she was a lot more sincere.
"Hehehe, Yan'er is a sensible person, by the way, I heard that you went out today, but you are in my country's mansion?"
Xin Nianyan: "Well, yes, I went to see Cousin Jinyu." ”
"Then Miss Jinyu's body is better, she fell into the lotus pond on such a cold day that day, and she didn't get sick, right?" The old lady asked again.
Xin Nianyan shook her head and said truthfully: "No, when Yan'er went to see it, Cousin Jinyu's face was ruddy, and she thought that there was nothing wrong with her." ”
"That's good." The old lady looked relieved, and sighed: "In the final analysis, this matter is also the bad of our Xin family, they rarely come once, and they make that kind of thing, can Yan'er have a grandmother to make amends to your grandmother?" ”
"Yes, my grandmother said that since my sister has apologized, then even if the matter is over, they will not care about it anymore." Xin Nianyan said.
"That's good, that's good, then do they have anything else to ask?" The old lady asked tentatively.
Xin Nianyan knew what she wanted to ask, so she thought about it hesitantly, and saw that the old lady frowned lightly, and then she shook her head and said, "I didn't ask anything else, just let Yan'er go over next time when she is free." ”
The old lady was completely relieved, patted Xin Nianyan's hand and said with a smile: "They are right, you should go for a walk often, after all, your mother died early, and you should also accompany her old man more for your mother." ”
"That's what Grandmother said."
The two talked casually, and when it was time for dinner, Xin Yuanwen also came back.
This time, without Xin Nianyan to speak, the old lady took the initiative to mention: "Wen'er, let you thoroughly investigate the loss of Shiying's dowry, how did you find out?" ”
Xin Nianyan paused for a meal, and hesitated: "Mother, that ......"
He glanced at Xin Nianyan, and stopped talking a little, the old lady guessed something, and immediately sank her face and said, "Is it that the Zhang family is unwilling to return it?" ”
Xin Yuanwen opened his mouth and finally nodded, but he explained: "Mother, after all, after so many years, Rou'er is also my daughter......"
In fact, none of those dowries were missing, but they were moved from Chen Shiying's treasury to Zhang Yunhui's warehouse.
When he went to see it, his eyelids jumped.
But Zhang Yunhui cried and made trouble in front of him, saying that after so many years, she told Rou'er that these would be her dowry in the future, and if she returned it, would Rou'er be sad and so on.
Thinking of the daughter he has always loved, and then seeing Zhang Yunhui's injury not lightly, he relented for a while.
But as soon as she heard what he said, the old lady knew what he wanted to say, and without waiting for him to speak, she slapped her chopsticks directly on the table, interrupting his next words.
"Wen'er, you are confused, Rou'er is your daughter, can our prime minister treat her badly in the future?" The old lady looked at him with hatred: "Those dowries are all left by Shiying, naturally they are all Yan'er's, if you give them all to Rou'er, what will outsiders think, will they think that our prime minister will work together to bully Yan'er, a child without a mother?" ”
"Mother, I'm ......" Xin Yuanwen stiffened his neck, unable to find words for a while.
"What are you, Zhang's eyelids are shallow, and you can't be shallow!" Thinking of Zhang Yunhui's childish appearance, the old lady was angry and ordered directly: "You must return those dowries, if you don't listen, don't recognize me as a mother!" ”
She was really going to be by this son.
For the sake of Zhang's two mothers and daughters, they don't even want their own face.
Seeing that Xin Yuanwen was still hesitant, the old lady directly came with a dose of fierce medicine.
"Okay, it seems that you are really fascinated by that woman of the Zhang family, since you don't even listen to me for her, then I will pack up my things and go back to the countryside now, you stay here and live with her, I can't afford to lose this person with you!"
With that, she stood up and looked like she was about to leave.
Xin Yuanwen was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed her: "Mother, don't you, my son didn't disobey you, I'll let people move those dowries back now." ”
As he spoke, he shouted outside: "Come on, you find two people, and move all the dowries in the storehouse of the lady's courtyard back to the storehouse of the first lady, and not a single one of them will be missing." ”
The old lady paused, and then sat down again: "It's pretty much the same." ”
Immediately, she sighed again, and reasoned with Xin Yuanwen in a serious tone: "Wen'er, my mother is not embarrassed for you, it's just that Zhang's is shallow-eyed and took something that doesn't belong to her, if Yan'er doesn't come back, forget it, now that Yan'er is back, if you don't return it, if this matter spreads outside in the future, what will outsiders say about you?" ”
Xin Nianyan, who had not spoken, flashed his eyes.
The old lady's last sentence didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, as if it had become her fault for some reason, and she shouldn't have come back.
"I know, mother." Xin Yuanwen said in a low voice, which showed that he was in a very bad mood.
On the other side, the housekeeper who got Xin Yuanwen's order took a few people and directly broke into the treasury of Huilan Courtyard, looking at the dowry full of the warehouse, the housekeeper didn't say a word, and directly asked his subordinates to start moving.
These things, as long as they are the old people in the mansion, can basically recognize them, and they are all the dowries brought into the prime minister's mansion by the first lady back then.
Now that they are all here, even the butler can't help but tremble in his heart.
Such a big movement of the housekeeper naturally attracted Zhang Yunhui's attention.
She had been recuperating well in the room, but when she heard that the housekeeper had brought someone to the storeroom to carry things, she was so shocked that she almost jumped out of bed.
But the whiplash she suffered last time was not healed, and she couldn't even get up, so she could only urge the personal maid: "Chunlan, hurry, hurry up and see, what is the situation outside, why did the housekeeper suddenly come to move things?!" ”
