Chapter 1224: The old lady doesn’t like the eldest lady?

The old lady was stunned, and Chang Qing was also stunned. Her body was facing the food on the table, but her eyes subconsciously glanced at Rong Yi.

The old lady also glanced at Rong Yi subconsciously, and then said: "No, I didn't shout to anyone today, just these two little babies."

Rong Yi didn't know why, she just smiled lightly and listened quietly. At this moment, how did she know that the eldest daughter-in-law they talked about would have something to do with her.

Seeing that Grandpa's face was wrong, Changqing intervened and said with a smile: "Auntie eats very early in the evening. Every time after dinner, she goes out for a walk. I'm afraid she has gone back from her walk now."

The old lady didn't speak, and the old man was silent for a while, and then he said: "Go and ask the eldest lady to come over for dinner. If she uses it, forget it."

At this time, the old lady was obviously a little unhappy. She said, "Didn't Qing'er already tell you? Her aunt usually eats early, so why do you need to go here?"

The old man didn't panic and just said: "It's not far away, so what if I just go and ask?"

Then he looked at Rong Yi, his tone softened, and said, "Are you hungry?"

Rong Yi said hurriedly: "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry."

The old man's expression became gentler and he said: "You don't need to be too restrained when eating here. Just treat it as if it's at home. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. If you're hungry, eat first. You're pregnant now and it's okay for one person to eat and two people to make up for it." No need to hold on."

How could Rong Yi, such a keen person, not notice the subtle atmosphere between the old lady and the old man at this moment?She didn't know why the old lady was a little unhappy. Could it be that she was afraid of being neglected because she was a guest?It can’t be that she doesn’t like her eldest daughter-in-law...

Asking for your own opinion now is just a step, just follow the instructions.

She said: "When I came here just now, I ate some pastries with Daqing in her courtyard. I'm really not very hungry. Let's have dinner together when the eldest lady comes."

After she finished saying this, the old lady glanced at her, exhaled slowly, and her mood became better. However, as soon as the old man spoke to her, she became serious again, which made her feel more confident. Rong Yi’s thoughts.

Could it be that the old lady really doesn't like the eldest lady?

This idea just flashed through her mind, and Rong Yi didn't think about it in detail. After all, it was other people's housework, and it didn't matter what she thought.

The people below came back not long after they left, but the eldest lady did not follow. When the servant came back, he only brought a few words, saying that the eldest lady had already had dinner and was ready to go to bed after reading for a while. .

The old man was not surprised to get this answer, he said: "Then let's start dinner."

Rong Yi glanced at the old lady subconsciously, but her expression was very complicated and she didn't look very comfortable.

However, it was only for a short while that she acted as usual and said with a smile: "On weekdays, the old man and I eat at home. Most of these dinners are light, but I see you like spicy food at noon. I asked the kitchen to prepare two spicy dishes. Take a look and see if you like any of the dishes tonight. Tell me what you like in advance so that I can prepare it in advance next time you come again."

The dinner is not sumptuous, but it is definitely enough for four people. Rong Yi thinks this is good, just like an ordinary meal for a family. If there are too many preparations, it will be a bit exaggerated.

Rong Yi said: "It's too troublesome for you. I'm not picky about food. I like to eat everything."

But the old lady said: "I think you are lying. If you really are not picky about food, why are you so thin?"

Rong Yi pursed her lips and smiled and said, "I am born with a good physique and it is not easy to gain weight." The old lady raised her eyebrows: "You are similar to me in this aspect. When I was young, I was as big as you, even after giving birth to a child. I haven’t gained much meat either.”

Rong Yi smiled and said, "If Rong Yi can be like the old lady, it will be Rong Yi's blessing."

Old lady: "Why is this little mouth so good at making people happy?"

They were talking and laughing, and the old man also added a few words in between, but the old lady didn't pay much attention to him, so he came to take advantage of the excitement and left the scene.

Changqing picked up the spicy chicken with chopsticks and said, "I heard that sour children and spicy girls, Rong Yi, you like spicy food, will this baby be a girl?"

Rong Yi said: "That's true, but I can't tell whether my son is a girl."

"Would you rather it be a boy or a girl?"

Rong Yi didn't hesitate and said directly: "I want a daughter."

Hearing this, the old lady looked at her and said with a smile: "This is strange. Nowadays everyone hopes to have more sons and thinks sons are blessings, but you prefer daughters at a young age."

Rong Yi: "Actually, sons and daughters are the same, and I feel the same pain for the flesh that falls off my body. I want a daughter more because I owe my little dumpling. When I gave birth to her, she was not born well. After birth, my body and bones were not as healthy as my brother's, so I thought that if I could give birth to a healthy daughter this time, I could give Xiaotuanzi a sister so that I could protect her in the future."

The old lady didn't smile, she just said: "Shouldn't it be a boy's responsibility to protect his sister?"

Rong Yi said: "It is the boy's responsibility and the responsibility of everyone in the family. I owe Xiaotuanzi, so I want to give her a younger sister and grow up with her."

The old lady's eyes were full of distress, and she said: "Don't think about whether you owe anything or not. When you give birth to a child, you are a person who has been through the door of hell. You were born with twins at the time. If you can give birth to a child, you will It’s already very difficult.”

Having said that, she is also a mother, so she doesn't understand the thoughts of being a mother. The child is the creditor in the previous life, and those who come to collect debts in this life always make the parents worried and afraid.

Looking at Rong Yi's petite appearance, it was hard for the old lady to imagine how she could have come here while pregnant with twins at such a young age.

This dinner was eaten quickly, and later the topic revolved around the child. Changqing and the old man couldn't get in the conversation, but every time the old lady said something, she would mention it to her and ask her to remember it, so that she would always use it in the future. Changqing was speechless.

After the meal, the old man who had been left out for a long time seemed to realize that he should leave for a while, so he excused himself to go back to the study to deal with some matters. Changqing glanced at the sky outside and wondered how late it was.

She clearly remembered that since her grandfather left the court and worked at home for decades, many habits had changed. For example... after dinner, he would no longer force himself to deal with official matters. He always said that he would do business all day long. Everything that should be busy during the day should be completed during the day, and you should have a good rest at night, especially when you are older and cannot stand the trouble.

She knew it all, how could the old lady not know?But without a word, Changqing just watched her grandfather walk away in despair.

The man who was once the most powerful figure in the court, and who made the capital tremble every time he stamped his feet, did not dare to raise his head in front of his wife, and how dare he be so tough.
