Chapter 8: Temple Blessings
Zhang Ningyu was shocked when she heard this, "You mean, Mu Wan'er did it on purpose, just to want the third sister to go instead of her?" But wasn't she sick at the beginning? ”
Zhang Lan shook her head and didn't speak, and after telling Zhang Ningyu not to make a noise, she thought about it for a while and asked Mama to see what Mu Wan'er was doing.
After a short time, Mama came back and told Mu Wan'er that she was in the middle of nowhere, and the more Zhang Lan thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was strange, and she was ready to test Mu Wan'er.
Walking slowly to the door, I saw Mu Wan'er repairing flowers with Xiaotang, the originally desolate and dilapidated yard has been renovated after tidying up, and Mu Wan'er, who lives here, has no complaints.
"Ma'am." Xiaotang was the first to see Zhang Lan and got up to owe a blessing.
Zhang Lan asked Xiaotang to make tea, and retreated from the subordinates behind her, leaving herself and Mu Wan'er alone.
Mu Wan'er invited Zhang Lan to sit down on the stone bench, put the snack in front of Zhang Lan, and behaved generously and appropriately.
"Do you still like living in the house now? Is there anything missing? Zhang Lan asked gently.
Mu Wan'er was stunned, and looked at Zhang Lan in some surprise, not understanding what Zhang Lan meant for a while.
Zhang Lan pursed her lips and smiled, "You just came back some time ago, I was worried that you had a lot of things here, so I didn't come to see you, you shouldn't blame me, right?" ”
"Don't dare." Mu Wan'er thought in her heart, and her face didn't show it at all.
Zhang Lan played with the jade bracelet on her wrist, said a few words to Mu Wan'er softly, and when Xiaotang came over with tea, after taking a sip, she said unintentionally: "I know that Qian'er is a little more public, and Xu is also a little prejudiced against you, but she is your third sister in the end." ”
"What's more, Qian'er just punished your maid, and now Xiaotang is also fine......"
"Mother, what do you want to say, just say it." Mu Wan'er interrupted Zhang Lan's words.
Zhang Lan's face suddenly turned cold, and she raised her eyes to look at Mu Wan'er, "When you fell into Ling Chi, you did it intentionally, and then you didn't get sick, and it was you who stunned me and Qian'er, right?" ”
Wen Wanmu Wan'er was confused, "Wan'er doesn't know what my mother means, and Wan'er has never wronged anyone." ”
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.
"I'm not blaming you, but I want to understand the situation, and if you tell me the truth of the matter, I certainly won't blame you." Zhang Lan was holding back the fire in her heart, but she was afraid that Mu Wan'er would bite to death and not let go.
Mu Wan'er's eyes were already red, she looked at Zhang Lan pitifully, choked and shook her head, "I haven't done this kind of thing, how can I do this to my sister who I saw for the first time?" Mother, you really wronged me. ”
Mu Wan'er looked innocent, and Zhang Lan, who originally thought it was hers, was also a little confused for a while.
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Zhang Lan took away the gentleness on her face, stood up and glanced at Mu Wan'er deeply, and returned to her lofty appearance, "You'd better be sure that this matter has nothing to do with you, if I find out that these things are all because of you, I will definitely not let you go!" ”
After that, Zhang Lan walked away, and Mu Wan'er snorted coldly, her eyes full of disdain.
She is no longer the Mu Wan'er she used to be, and she will no longer admit everything because she is afraid of their eyes!
A few days later, Zhang Ningyu went to Dongyuan, and when he passed by the garden, he heard someone whispering.
"Have you heard? Now the second girl is dancing in the city, which amazes many people, and many families know that there is a girl in our Mu family, and they are vying to come to the door to marry the second girl. A pink-clothed maid said with a smile.
The maid next to her echoed, "I also heard that Mrs. has received several people today, including many nobles." ”
“……”
Zhang Ningyu, who was standing in the dark, clenched his fists, and his nails were deeply embedded in his palms, and he didn't care.
She has been looking at others recently, and at this time, Mu Wan'er stole the limelight from herself, making it clear that she was targeting herself, and she didn't want to find a good husband.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, feeling that all this was Mu Wan'er's fault.
Angrily hurried to Dongyuan, and when Mama opened the door, she saw Zhang Ningyu crying heartbroken, "Ouch, cousin, what's wrong with you?" Why are you crying so sadly? ”
Zhang Ningyu wept and didn't speak, and Mama hurriedly pulled her in and led her to find Zhang Lan who was sitting in the house.
Zhang Ningyu threw herself into Zhang Lan's arms, choked up and complained, "Mother, you must be the master for me." ”
Zhang Lan frowned and patted Zhang Ningyu's shoulder with relief, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Ningyu told Zhang Lan what she had heard, and Zhang Lan also happened to have a headache because of this incident, and now when she heard Zhang Ningyu crying, she became more and more distressed.
took out Jinpa, wiped away the tears on her face, and whispered a few words of comfort, Zhang Ningyu stopped her tears.
"Mother, you must think of a way, if you continue like this, who can still take a fancy to me? For them, I am just Miss Mu Jiabiao, and Mu Wan'er is a young lady, after such a comparison, who else can see my existence? Zhang Ningyu tugged at Zhang Lan's sleeve and shook her tears.
Zhang Lan was also worried that Mu Wan'er's matter would hinder Zhang Ningyu's marriage, and Mu Wan'er would be known to outsiders at this juncture.
"What do you want me to do?" Zhang Lan asked.
"I don't care, you drive her away, the farther away the better, it's better to throw her back to the countryside!"
"Nonsense, let her think about it at this time, others will definitely be suspicious, how will we explain it then?" Zhang Lan frowned and asked.
Zhang Ningyu was dumbfounded, her lips moved, and after a while, she asked aggrievedly: "Then mother, what do you say we should do?" Could it be that Mu Wan'er hindered my marriage in the house? ”
Zhang Lan patted the back of Zhang Ningyu's hand, "Don't worry, my mother will definitely come up with a way." ”
She pondered for a long time, and then noticed in her heart.
Summoned Mama and asked Mama to go and find Mu Wan'er, Zhang Ningyu finally stopped her tears after hearing Zhang Lan's plan.
Not long after, Mu Wan'er came to Dongyuan, and after committing herself to the blessing ceremony, she looked at Zhang Lan with clear eyes.
Zhang Lan leaned on the soft couch, stroked her sideburns and said to Mu Wan'er, "I'm a little unwell, I don't know what it is, you have nothing to do, it's better to go to the temple to pray for me." ”
Mu Wan'er's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile, "Praying for blessings should be, mother, you command, I naturally won't refuse, but mother, what's wrong with you?" Have you ever seen a doctor? ”
"Are you questioning your mother?" Zhang Ningyuxiu frowned slightly, and asked dissatisfiedly.
"Cousin, you misunderstood, I'm completely worried about my mother's aggravation, and now that the weather has not fully warmed up, what happened?"
"Also, how about you go with me, cousin, to pray for blessings? Maybe cousin, you can still get a good marriage. Although Mu Wan'er lives in the boudoir, she can still hear the gossip outside.
Zhang Ningyu's face sank, "I also want to accompany my second sister to go, but my mother has to have someone to guard here, don't you say?" ”
