Chapter 193 Rejection (2)

The second aunt Lin is a flower girl, wearing a hollow flower hairpin inlaid with emerald green feathers and rice beads, and wearing a pine green ruyi cloud pattern beanie, with a slender and graceful figure.Her beautiful eyes were foggy, and her willow eyebrows were slightly frowned. When she entered the room, she greeted Madam Sheng first, and then asked in a soft voice: "I heard that Madam's old illness has relapsed, and this concubine is very disturbed. Madam is feeling better now?"

The Second Aunt Lin, with her delicate and coquettish Liu Fufeng, her watery and porcelain-white skin, and her charming demeanor, is a very beautiful beauty.Compared with her, Mrs. Sheng is very old.This kind of oldness made Dong Yuan's eyes sting a little.

Such a young concubine, such an old wife.

No matter how much means, no matter how much kindness there is, it will not be able to withstand the passage of time, right?What could be more ruthless than time taking away the tenderness of the skin and leaving mottled wrinkles on the face?

Dong Yuan looked at Second Aunt Lin and then at Mrs. Sheng, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.Although it had nothing to do with her marriage, she was still a little short of breath.

She couldn't help thinking of herself 20 years later.

Will Xue Dongyuan 20 years later be compared to such an absolutely young woman?
If she had made a mistake at the beginning and entered the palace to become Emperor Yuanchang's concubine, maybe ten years, maybe three years or two, she would have been able to see more outstanding beauties than herself filling Emperor Yuanchang's sight and replacing her status.It's like she entered the palace and took the place of other concubines.

Married into the Sheng family, she became Sheng Xiuyi's successor, and maybe someone will replace her in the future, but her situation and status will not be too bad.She already had a son, with the affirmation of the family.

Thinking about it this way, even if he is compared, Dong Yuan's life is not the worst.

Thinking this way, it was not the worst outcome for him, Dong Yuan's breathing became a little smoother.

These thoughts instantly entered Dong Yuan's mind, which caught her off guard.She didn't know why, when she saw her father-in-law's concubine, she would think of so many things and have such pessimistic predictions.

Gathering his mind, Dong Yuan heard Madam Sheng's voice and said to Second Aunt Lin wearily: "...It's just an old illness, the imperial doctor has seen it, and it's all right. Grandma is here to take care of it, you can go back first."

Second Aunt Lin stood up, bowed to Dong Yuan, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Grandma."

Dong Yuan smiled lightly.

Second Aunt Lin didn't leave. She stood by Madam Sheng's bed with her head down. After thinking about it, she knelt down to Madam Sheng, her voice choked slightly: "Ma'am, this concubine has something... I don't know if this concubine should talk about it..."

Mrs. Sheng was a little irritable, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, and turned sideways into the bed.Her attitude was obvious and she didn't want to hear it.

Second Aunt Lin's words were stuck on her lips.

Dong Yuan understood, and said to Second Aunt Lin: "Madam is not feeling well, if you have anything to say, I will report it in a few days."

Second Aunt Lin raised her eyes and looked at Dong Yuan sadly, her eyes shouted deep prayers.Dong Yuan's flowery face is reflected in her beautiful eyes.Xue Dongyuan is obviously as delicate and charming as a girl, but his eyes are shrewd and transparent, making it impossible to hide.

Second Aunt Lin knew that Dong Yuan didn't like her.

She panicked for a while, then calmed down again, and her gaze became even more mournful.

Dong Yuan has already turned his eyes away from her.

The room suddenly fell silent, so quiet that even Second Aunt Lin's slight choking sobs were so clear.

Mrs. Sheng opened her eyes after a while, looked at Second Aunt Lin quietly, and said: "Now I am the housekeeper of Grandma, no matter what you have, please report to Grandma first. Grandma will make the decision for you."

Dong Yuan turned his eyes to Mrs. Sheng, and found that she was resting with her eyes closed again.

Dong Yuan had no choice but to say yes in a low voice, tucking up the quilt for Mrs. Sheng at night.Madam Sheng didn't open her eyes, she said to Dong Yuan in a weak voice: "You go too, it's getting late, go back and rest."

"Mother, I'm going back first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow morning." Dong Yuan said softly.

Mrs. Sheng hummed lightly.

Second Aunt Lin also saluted Mrs. Sheng, and followed Dong Yuan out of Yuanyang Pavilion.

Dong Yuan walked to Mrs. Sheng's Dongji room, and after she sat down, she asked the servant girl to move the brocade bamboo for Second Aunt Lin to sit in.After the two sat down, Dong Yuan asked her what was going on.

"... Tomorrow is the anniversary of my aunt's death. The concubine wants to burn some paper money for her, and pay homage to her. It can be considered... It can be regarded as fulfilling the sisterhood." Second Aunt Lin's voice choked up, and then she thought of Dong Yuan Being unfriendly to her, he hastily stopped crying.

At the beginning, Aunt Lin just said that she died of illness and had nothing else to do. When it comes to her death day, it doesn't matter to pay homage.Although she left no heirs, she was also the good concubine of Marquis Sheng Chang, and her tablet was placed in the ancestral hall of the Sheng family.

Seeing that it was just this matter, Dong Yuan said cheerfully: "Since that's the case, ask the mother in charge to give some paper money to my aunt tomorrow, and my aunt will go to the family ancestral hall to pay homage."

Second Aunt Lin paused.

She got up, knelt down in front of Dong Yuan, fell on the ground, and cried softly: "Grandma's great kindness, the humble concubine will never forget it! Ever since the humble concubine entered the Sheng family's door, she has treated the Marquis, Madam, The son and grandma have never had two hearts, thank you grandma for your kindness, allowing the concubine to worship for my aunt...just..."

After saying so many good things, one sentence is just, and it is completely denied.

Dong Yuan's eyes became a little cold.

She rested her hand quietly on the Kang table, waiting for Second Aunt Lin's next words.

"...It's just that the concubine dared to beg for the grace of the aunt and allowed the concubine to go to worship at the village where the aunt died... The concubine and the aunt were born as siblings, and they were connected with each other since childhood. When the aunt was not good, the cheap The concubine was not feeling well for a few days. All the servants in the room knew this. The concubine did not dare to lie to grandma with nonsense. These days, the concubine was not feeling well, and she often dreamed of her aunt. She always said that she missed the concubine Concubine, I want to see the concubine. Grandma, concubine still wants to keep her body, serve the lord, wife, grandma, concubine does not want to die... Concubine wants to go to Zhuangzi to have a look, even if... even if It fulfilled my aunt's heart to meet my concubine..." Second Aunt Lin kowtowed, she couldn't help crying, but she spoke clearly.

To put it so seriously, it is really unbearable to refuse.

But, why go to Zhuangzi?Dong Yuan was quite puzzled, what happened to Zhuangzi?

She was an aunt who was raised in a deep house in Shengfu, and she was brought back from the Northwest. None of her brothers and sisters were in Shengjing, so what was she going to do?
Dong Yuan looked at the slender figure kneeling in front of him in doubt, and the light in his eyes changed.Her heart was spinning quickly, but she called out to the two maidservants beside Mrs. Sheng: "Help Auntie get up..."

Two maids went to help Second Aunt Lin.

However, Second Aunt Lin crawled to Dong Yuan's feet, refused to get up, and begged softly, "Grandma... Please help me."

Dong Yuan didn't push her away, but said in a calm voice: "No."

Second Aunt Lin was startled, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at Dong Yuan.Her face was full of tears, adding to her delicate demeanor. It was the peak of a woman's full moon, and her own charm poured out from the tip of her brows.

Looking at Dong Yuan's peaceful and unchanging eyebrows, she thought she had heard wrong, and murmured in a daze: "...Grandma..."

"No." Dong Yuan repeated, his voice more calm and peaceful than before, "Auntie, there is no such rule, the rules at home are set by Lord Hou, Auntie is not allowed to go out, let alone go to Zhuangzi. Auntie asked this Words make me embarrassed."

Second Aunt Lin Fangfo was hit by the electric shock and her body froze.

No...

Just say it, no!
She had paved the way for so many reasons, Xue Dongyuan didn't even think about it, and just said no.Second Aunt Lin was stunned.She seemed to see another shadow from Xue Dongyuan's peaceful and handsome face: Marquis Shengchang.

When Sheng Changhou refused, he was always so decisive.

Second Aunt Lin was still in a daze, but Dong Yuan had already got up, and said: "It's time to wake up, I have something to do in the yard, so I'll go back first. Auntie, please go ahead, the mother who will be in charge tomorrow will send paper money to Auntie, if Auntie still wants to worship , it’s the same when going to the ancestral hall.”

She bypassed Second Aunt Lin, got up and walked out.

Mrs. Sheng's eldest maid, Citron, has been serving by her side, and she also sweated for Dong Yuan.Hearing Dong Yuan say no, Citron let out a sigh of relief.

This big grandma makes people feel happy.

Although the stern face was a bit selfless, Citron just felt very happy in his heart.

Second Aunt Lin stayed there, and she got up after a long while, supported by her maid, she walked back to her yard.Grandma's words no way echoed in her ears.

The word "No" was clear and short, and Second Aunt Lin's ears buzzed.

What should she do?She had racked her brains and tried her best to wait for such an opportunity.Second Aunt Lin knew very well that if she told Sheng Changhou, Sheng Changhou would definitely reject her; she told Mrs. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng would also say: I want to ask Lord Hou about this matter.

It was tantamount to pushing it to Marquis Sheng Chang.

Second Aunt Lin has no chance.

Finally, when Mrs. Sheng fell ill, she didn't have the energy to take care of it, so she would definitely hand it over to the new housekeeper's grandma.And the eldest grandma is a young daughter-in-law, so she will naturally act softer.

Second Aunt Lin made up her mind to have a hard time with Grandma, and she must get Grandma's approval.

The eldest grandma is the housekeeper, so she probably doesn't want to offend anyone.She is young, a girl who is only 15 years old, if she speaks more touching things to make the grandma feel sorry for her, and then praises the grandma, the grandma will naturally nod her head.

As long as Grandma nods, Marquis Sheng Chang probably won't refute Grandma's words.

Grandma is the housekeeper, if Sheng Changhou rejects her matter, what prestige will Grandma have in the future?
Second Aunt Lin saw everything in the family, and she was sure that this was an opportunity.Even if it doesn't work this time, at least let her know that Grandma's place is a breakthrough, and there will be another chance next time.

She never expected that the grandma would answer her like this: No!

Second Aunt Lin thought of Aunt Tao in Grandma's yard, the biological mother of the dead Second Young Master.The second young master passed away, and the Shizi was also very sad. The servants and aunts all thought that Aunt Tao had another chance.The son's reluctance to the second young master is Aunt Tao's opportunity.

But in the end, after the second young master went to the funeral, Aunt Tao was sent to Zhuangzi.

Second Aunt Lin heard a lot of rumors and guesses.Only now did she understand: this must be Grandma's trick.

That woman has such a beautiful face, but hides such a vicious heart.
