Zhou Mengli's tears fell suddenly, and they landed on the back of Shen Lansui's hand.

"Cousin-in-law, are you here to see my jokes?"

She choked up and said, regretted it after speaking, and wanted to push Shen Lansui away and leave.

Shen Lansui held her wrist tightly and said in a low voice, "Don't you want to talk to me?" Don't you want to know why I let you go, knowing what you're here for? ”

Zhou Mengli was stunned and looked at her and stopped talking.

*

The maid came in and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Guanchun sent two cups of tea, and then withdrew with people.

Shen Lansui and Zhou Mengli sat on both sides of the square table, Zhou Mengli was like a frosted eggplant, lowering her head and silently shedding tears.

"Cry, cry out all the grievances, don't cry anymore after crying." Shen Lansui handed her a handkerchief, Zhou Mengli was not polite, took it and wiped her face, sniffed and asked in a dumb voice, "Did you ask your cousin to talk to me about those words?" ”

"I originally wanted you to be alone for a while, to see how you reacted, although I know why you came, but I don't like to convict people because it didn't happen, if you don't mention it all the time, don't do anything out of the ordinary, I won't do anything to you, but San Lang is a person who doesn't like trouble, so he directly broke your mind, and what he said may be a bit heavy, don't take it to heart."

Shen Lansui picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, calm and calm.

Infected by her, Zhou Mengli's mood gradually stabilized.

"Actually, what he said didn't mean anything at all, but I felt ashamed of myself." Zhou Mengli's clear vision blurred again.

"I know, you feel like your mind is being seen through, you can't hide, you're embarrassed and embarrassed, right?"

"Isn't it?" Zhou Mengli said a little excitedly: "I thought that only my aunt and I knew about this matter, but I didn't expect everyone to know, and I thought she was just saying it casually, it turned out that I was stupid." ”

Shen Lansui looked at her and shook his head: "It's not stupid, it's that you have walked a dead end." ”

Zhou Mengli raised her head in confusion, "What dead end?" ”

"Let me think about what the Grand Lady said to you." Shen Lansui tapped the corners of his forehead with his fingertips, and said in a low voice: "Does it mean that your identity can marry into the Guogong Mansion and be a concubine for the Hou Ye, which is already Gao Pan?" She also said that she is your aunt, she will not harm you, and in the future, under one roof, she can protect you, and your good days are still to come? ”

Zhou Mengli was taken aback, her eyes widened, "How do you know?" ”

Shen Lansui chuckled: "Guess, I know what kind of person she is, and I also know what your current predicament is, think about it, it's not difficult to guess." ”

"I don't want to analyze with you whether her words can be realized, I just ask you-" Shen Lansui looked at Zhou Mengli, "Do you think she is really good for you?" ”

"It's really good to you, how can you be willing to let you be a concubine? Your mother is a concubine, but you are a concubine, why can't you be on the stage? If you can't marry into a high-ranking family, isn't it bad to marry a noble family? As a concubine, she has to serve her mother-in-law and husband, and live on others all the time, even if her mother-in-law is her own aunt, how much can she interfere in the affairs of the house? ”

Zhou Mengli was shocked, her brain seemed to be beaten by someone, and the "buzz" made her trance for a while.

Yes, according to the status of the eldest lady, it is not difficult to tell her about marriage, right?

Why did you make her a concubine?

Zhou Mengli was dazzled before, but she didn't expect this.

Shen Lansui looked at her expression, stopped at the point, didn't say more, picked up the light cyan cloak from the side, got up and walked behind Zhou Mengli to put it on for her, and said softly: "Zhou Mengli is Zhou Mengli, it shouldn't be the so-called Zhou family in the backyard, don't envy others, as long as you stand up yourself, life will be fine." ”

At that moment, Zhou Mengli suddenly woke up, held Shen Lansui's hand, and turned her head to look at her.

Shen Lansui held her hand, her palm was warm and dry, and it was very comfortable to hold.

She said, "You wear this cloak beautifully. ”

Zhou Mengli's nose was sour, and she choked and nodded, "Thank you." ”

*

Zhou Mengli slowed down for a while and finished drinking a cup of tea before leaving.

Back in her room, she stood in front of the mirror and took a good look.

The pale cyan cloak is embroidered with large pear blossoms, which is very elegant and beautiful.

The maid also praised her: "Miss, where did this cloak come from?" It's for you. ”

"Suitable?"

Zhou Mengli looked at herself in the mirror and said with relief: "It's very suitable." ”

What identity does what, what identity marries whom, is it not right to be in the right household? Why do you have to climb high branches?

The scenery on the high branches is indeed good, but it can also be blown down by the wind at any time.

The scenery below is a little worse, but it's bland and tranquil, and it's not a good place to go.

She herself knows that she is not a smart person, and those twists and turns do not understand, and she is really not suitable for intrigue.

With a long sigh, she laughed with relief.

Early the next morning, she wore this cloak to meet the eldest lady.

*

"What did you say?" The eldest lady was dressing up at that time, and as soon as Lotus Horn inserted the hairpin into her, she turned her head, and the hairpin almost scratched her eyes, and Lotus Horn quickly raised her hand and wiped her face.

The eldest lady "tsk", and the lotus horn immediately knelt down and said in fear: "The slave didn't mean it, Madame forgive me!" ”

The eldest lady didn't have the heart to worry about her now, so she waved her hand to let her get up and looked at Zhou Mengli, "What did you just say?" Say it again. ”

Zhou Mengli was still a little stunned in the face of her, but she thought about it for a night, and felt that she still didn't want to intervene between Lu Xingyue and Shen Lansui, and said firmly: "Auntie, I don't like the third cousin, he doesn't like me, I don't want to contact him anymore, I want to go home and discuss the marriage with my father, thank you aunt for your hospitality these days, Mengli is grateful." ”

She owes a debt, but her posture is respectful.

The eldest lady gritted her teeth, "Did someone tell you something?" Didn't we say it before? Why did you suddenly regret it again? ”

Saying that, her face changed, and she asked in a cold voice, "Did Shen Lansui say something to you?" She can't tolerate you, can she? ”

Zhou Mengli didn't expect her to react so much, and she was speechless in fright for a while.

This appearance fell in the eyes of the eldest lady, and she acquiesced, and immediately became angry, "He Chu, you go and call Shen Lansui over to me-"

"Wait-" Zhou Mengli hurriedly stopped He Chu and said hurriedly: "It has nothing to do with my cousin-in-law, I don't want to!" ”

"You don't want to? Why wouldn't you? They really didn't force you? I heard that you went to Pinglan Temple yesterday and cried when you came out? Don't be afraid, if they really dare to bully you, you tell your aunt, and your aunt will definitely make the decision for you! ”

She said it sincerely, but Zhou Mengli only felt cold, how did she know that she went to Pinglan Courtyard yesterday? How do you know she came out crying?
