Chapter 39: What the hell is she thinking?
Qiao Jianghong came to Anhetang.
Old Madam Qiao sat on the soft couch, twisting the Buddha beads in her hand, looked at him meaningfully and asked, "What are your plans?" ”
Qiao Jianghong stood respectfully and asked, "What did grandmother say?" ”
He guessed one or two in his heart, but he still pretended to be confused.
Old Madam Qiao sighed, feeling that her grandson's brain was getting more and more mushy.
"Shuli, the recovery is good, this Hou Mansion is destined to not be able to keep her, don't go to her room again."
Qiao Jianghong's face sank, the old lady's tone was not to discuss with him, but to give an order directly.
He was reluctant in his heart, and put on his face on the spot, and his tone was still very deferential: "Grandmother, my grandson won't let Shuli go, my grandson has worked hard to find her, and he won't let her go." ”
Old Madam Qiao's face darkened, and she asked dishappily: "Are you disobedient to your grandmother for her!" What kind of ecstasy soup did this woman pour on you! ”
Qiao Jianghong said in a deep voice: "My grandson has a promise to her, and she will take care of her for the rest of her life, she lost her child for her grandson's unrestful night, although she doesn't understand the rules, but she is really single-minded to her grandson." ”
Mother Wu persuaded: "Shizi, now the rumors outside are very powerful, if you still keep her, I'm afraid it will catch fire!" ”
Old Madam Qiao's face was even more ugly: "I think you are fascinated by her, what is the crime of spoiling a concubine and killing your wife!" Are you ignoring the entire Hou Mansion for her sake! ”
Of course, Qiao Jianghong heard the rumors outside, and he was also scared, he had already decided to be kind to An Qien, as long as he paid attention to proportion in the future, everyone would forget about this matter when it was rumored.
"Grandmother, grandchildren will pay attention to proportion, and Shuli's grandson will not fail her."
Old Madam Qiao sneered and said angrily: "What if I insist on her sending her away!" ”
Qiao Jianghong looked at the old lady with a resolute face: "That grandson can only be unfilial, and the grandson can only make amends with death." ”
Old Madam Qiao was so angry that she almost couldn't get angry, she picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on Qiao Jianghong: "You are a rebel, you will use this set to threaten me!" ”
Qiao Jianghong knelt on the ground with a plop, lowered his head and confessed: "Grandmother, grandson knows his mistake, grandson will let grandma teach Shuli rules, please don't drive her away, half of grandson's life was saved by Qien, and half of it depends on her hanging breath, please be gracious." ”
Mother Wu frowned and gave Mrs. Qiao a relief, she glanced at Qiao Jianghong, and said, "Shizi, the old lady is all for your good, Aunt Shen's kindness to you is not as good as Mrs. Shang." ”
Half of Qiao Jianghong's shoulders were full of tea leaves, and his knees were full of broken ceramic slag.
He bowed his head and said nothing.
This usual trick, he tried every trick.
Mrs. Qiao was speechless angrily, and was helped to the bedroom by Mother Wu to rest.
Qiao Jianghong breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart sank very much.
He returned to Wenyuanju to change his clothes and came to Qiushuiju.
An Qien was reading and writing, and Qingbi walked in and picked up the curtain to report: "Madam, the prince is here." ”
She put down her pen and folded the book and rice paper, and Bai Lu removed the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and replaced it with Pu'er tea.
"Shizi." An Qi En is blessed.
Qiao Jianghong's face was dull, he sat on the couch, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea first.
An Qien's expression was faint, and he also picked up the tea and drank water.
Qiao Jianghong glanced at her and asked, "To be honest, do you want Shuli to stay in the mansion?" ”
An Qien put down the teacup and said with a slight smile: "The concubine never wanted to drive her away, and the concubine also saw that the prince really likes her, and it is not what you and I want to marry the prince, the concubine has nothing else to ask for, you can settle down in the Hou Mansion, the prince has people with the same heart, and the concubine is really happy for you." ”
Qiao Jianghong heard the answer she wanted to hear, she didn't fight or grab, she didn't ask for anything else. But the inexplicable Qiao Jianghong felt a little uncomfortable.
He is greedy, and in addition to wanting his wife's generosity, he also wants his wife's affection.
But he couldn't see a trace of affection on An Qien's face.
Qiao Jianghong's heart was very complicated, he looked at An Qien seriously, and said slowly: "I will also be good to you, you are my wife, this will never change." ”
An Qien smiled faintly, snorted coldly in his heart, disdainful of his words, I will also be good to you.
Qiao Jianghong continued: "You often go to that grandmother's these days, accompany her." ”
"Yes, Shizi."
An Qien had already guessed that the grandfather and grandson were in conflict, and he came for Shen Shuli's business.
Then this matter must have something to do with Shen Shuli, even if Qiao Jianghong doesn't come, An Qien will persuade Old Madam Qiao to stay with Shen Shuli.
The blood debt needs to be paid in blood, and she also needs to rely on Shen Shuli and .....
The next day, An Qien went to Anhetang to greet Mrs. Qiao, and she specially instructed someone to cook a bowl of lotus seed and red date porridge for the old lady to take.
After breakfast, An Qien helped Mrs. Qiao to take a walk in the lotus pond in the house.
Early in the morning, the air in the lotus pond was very fresh, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and Mrs. Qiao was in a better mood.
She asked bluntly: "Your husband asked you to be a lobbyist." ”
An Qien smiled slightly: "Nothing can escape grandmother's eyes." ”
Old Madam Qiao glanced at her and asked, "It's good for you that she's gone, why do you want her to stay?" ”
The two walked slowly around the lotus pond, followed by a few maids.
An Qien: "The prince has just recovered from a serious illness, and the book pear can make him happy, which is also a good thing, if the book pear is sold, the son of the world is an infatuated lover, and there will be heart disease, and there are not a few people who have been depressed since ancient times." The concubine finally snatched him back from the hands of death, and in the eyes of her daughter-in-law, except for life and death, it was all trivial. ”
Old Madam Qiao suddenly opened her mouth, her mood was all right, and the expression on her face was also enlightened.
She loves Qiao Jianghong the most, from childhood to adulthood, thinking of life and death, Old Madam Qiao completely dispelled the idea of betraying Shen Shuli and driving her out of the house.
She patted An Qien's hand and said gently: "You are still the most virtuous, the most profound, and the most thoughtful." ”
At this point, Old Madam Qiao sighed silently in her heart, and slandered: It would be better if there was a child.
An Qien smiled slightly, and walked with her for a while before going back.
Shen Shuli had ears on her side, and she learned for the first time that she had saved the day, but what she couldn't figure out was why An Qien would leave her!
This woman is obviously uneasy and kind, what the hell is she going to do!
Shen Shuli couldn't guess it, so she simply didn't guess, she is now concentrating on raising her body and giving birth to Qiao Jianghong again.
Qiao Jianghong is also much more restrained, he doesn't favor Shen Shuli, and he is much better for Qingcui, and An Qien's side is not only not staying overnight, but usually eats in Qiushuiju.
The days were quiet again.
Aunt Liang was very anxious here, and the Liu family introduced Liang Wanru to a few small merchants, but everyone thought she was from a bad background and was unwilling to marry a wife, but the concubine room was okay.
Liang Wanru was reluctant to be a concubine for a small businessman, and those people were not to her liking.
