married daughter

Chapter 118

Ruan Yunting and Han Bin's family supported the old lady all the way, the evening breeze was blowing, and when they returned to Pine Age Hall, the old lady had calmed down.

Ruan Yunting looked at her worriedly. After all, in her impression, the old lady's ability to control had always been good, and she kept it very secret. Her emotional outburst like today can only be explained by her being out of breath.

After all, it is an old man who is over seventy years old. It is really wrong for the third wife to contradict her son and daughter-in-law so much.

"Old ancestor, sit down." Ruan Yunting carefully helped her to sit down.

Han Bin's family took the teacup from Huamei's hand and offered it, "Old lady, drink some tea to calm down."

The old lady took the teacup and returned to her usual appearance. She blew on the powdered tea leaves slowly, took a small sip to moisten her throat, then put down the teacup, sighed, and said, "As I get older, I can't control it more and more. Temper. Let people see the joke."

"Old lady, don't say that." Han Bin's family came up to him and comforted him softly: "After all, you are concerned, and you will be chaotic. The reason why you are really angry is because you care too much about the third master and the third wife. The third wife is young and vigorous. Temperament and stubbornness, the old lady must not take it to heart."

The old lady shook her head, and the tassels of the phoenix hairpin on her head swayed twice listlessly, shining dimly in the dim candlelight: "You have been with me for so many years. You don't know what kind of temper I am? The third wife..."

Before he finished speaking, the second half was swallowed by the old lady.Just now she lost control and got angry in front of the servants and juniors.But now I have tried my best to suppress my anger and regained my sanity.With Ruan Yunting present, how can she say that her third aunt is not?

"That's all." The old lady sighed, "I've been tossing and tossing for so long, and I'm hungry too."

Huamei smiled and said: "Old Ancestor, didn't you want to eat dumplings today? The servant has ordered the small kitchen to make fish and meat stuffing. It is probably ready now, so I will bring it to you?"

The old lady nodded with a smile, looked at Ruan Yunting and said, "Ting'er hasn't eaten yet, she's eating with grandma."

The old lady finally calmed down and was not angry. Naturally, what she said was what she said. How could Ruan Yunting disobey her, she nodded with a smile, and said sweetly: "The old ancestor loves Ting'er the most, how do you know I'm greedy for dumplings? ? My favorite is minced fish."

The old lady smiled and scraped the tip of her nose, knowing that she was trying to make herself happy, so how could she not cooperate?

Han Bin's family went to Zhang Luo for dinner with Huamei, while Ruan Yunting sat next to the old lady, pestering him to tell him some anecdotes about the academy in order to distract the old lady's attention.

Not long after, the dumplings were served.Ruan Yunting and the old lady sat opposite each other, and began to stutter.

After eating the food, the old lady felt better.She deliberately didn't think about the bad things about Sanfang, but felt that Xu's family was well received by her. Even if she was under the Nine Springs that day, she would still be worthy of her deceased husband.Thinking of it this way, the good mood was dyed a little gray again.

Ruan Yunting is not hungry, she can eat as much as she can, but just to accompany the old lady, she just wanted to persuade the old lady to eat too much, when Shu Cui entered the room, stood beside the ink lotus screen and bowed and said: "Go back Madam, Mrs. Jun is here."

"Oh?" The old lady put down the silver chopsticks, took the handkerchief from Han Bin's house, dipped the corner of her mouth, and picked up the tea bowl to rinse her mouth.Thrush took it with a delicate spittoon painted with gold.After everything was settled, the old lady stood up, "I'll go and see, Ting'er can finish eating slowly here."

"Yes, thank you ancestor." Ruan Yunting stood up and responded, and then said: "Mother Han, you can go with the ancestor. I'll just eat later and go back by myself."

The old lady had just been angry, and Han Bin's family was worried. Ruan Yunting's proposal was so considerate, how could she disagree?He smiled and agreed, and helped the old lady out together with Huamei.

Ruan Yunting was the only one left in the pearly eye shadow room.

The old lady ordered him to finish eating, and even if she couldn't finish it, she still wanted to eat some more.Never brushed the old lady's face.Secondly, it is also to avoid the chance of meeting the old lady of the Jun family.

It's just that at this time, the government has already reached the time to release the key, why did the old lady of the Jun family pay a sudden visit?Is there something urgent that can't wait until daytime?

After eating a few mouthfuls thoughtfully, Ruan Yunting chewed a lot of the old lady's house.

Opposite the Eight Immortals Table is a red sandalwood pedestal carved with an ink screen with peony patterns, and at the other end of the screen is an arhat bed for the old lady to rest.The brass crane-footed nine-candle stand stands beside the screen, with bright candles on it, shaded by silk lamps, covering the antique room with a soft halo.

Ruan Yunting put down her chopsticks, just as she was calling for someone, she suddenly saw a group of exquisite fans on the low table on the right side of the armchair directly opposite.

Standing up, I went to pick it up curiously, and there was a lively kitten fluttering butterflies embroidered on the fan.The octogenarian year means longevity.Seeing Wan Fan's familiar look, Ruan Yunting frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't remember where she saw her before.

Just as she was about to put the fan back in the distance, she saw a delicate green sachet on the table.Cucumbers are embroidered on the sachet.Cucumber has many seeds and tenacious vitality, which has an excellent meaning in embroidery.

But the problem is, this sachet looks very familiar to her. In her previous life, she was inexperienced in embroidery and rarely did any work.This cucumber sachet is one of the few masterpieces in her previous life.

She clearly remembered that she put this sachet in the dowry box in Xiuningju's bedroom, why did she come back to the old lady now?
Picking up the sachet, the soft and cool brocade material was cold to the touch, Ruan Yunting frowned, as if she felt something in the sachet.Opening the bag, she saw a snowflake stick in the sachet. She was very familiar with the handwriting on it:

"Mother, since my daughter married Jun Zhaoyan, she has fulfilled the wishes of her mother and grandmother, but I have the life I want. Zhu Lang and I really love each other. Since our relationship cannot be separated from heaven and earth, I The only way to get rid of it is to die, and I ask mother and grandmother to forgive my daughter's unfilial piety." The inscription is Xu Ningxiu's last handwriting.

Ruan Yunting's eyes widened in astonishment. The handwriting is indeed hers. Her daily writing habit is to swipe horizontally upwards, and to make a stroke to the left. pride.

However, Ruan Yunting is 100% sure that she never wrote this "suicide note"!
What did she mean that something she hadn't written appeared in the old lady's place?
Ruan Yunting was full of thoughts, and all kinds of speculations made her very upset.Reason told her that she should not make any changes, and the old lady should not find out that she had seen this thing.For some reason, my hands were already shaking uncontrollably, so I put the snowflake stick back into the sachet with great difficulty, and then put it back on the desk according to the original arrangement.After completing this series of actions, Ruan Yunting felt that she had exhausted all her strength.Staggering back to the table of the Eight Immortals, he fell down on the embroidered dumpling and took a bite of the dumpling without taste.

What's going on, how could it be like this!
The people who have read her handwriting, except Mrs. Jun's account book, are her personal maid Suxiang, but the person who is most familiar with her handwriting is her husband Jun Zhaoyan from her previous life!

Who the hell copied her handwriting?She was obviously killed by someone, but because of the existence of this suicide note, everyone in the Xu family was convinced of the fact that she "had an affair", and felt that the Xu family was sorry for the Jun family and Jun Zhaoyan.

Thinking of Jun Zhaoyan who was drinking alone by the mirror lake that day, he clearly dodged a little. Is it really because of his deep love for Xu Ningxiu that he suffered so much?Or, he clearly knew something, but kept hiding it, and did something wrong?

Ruan Yunting took a few mouthfuls without knowing the taste, then got up and asked someone to wait for her to rinse her mouth. She tried her best to behave as usual, but only she knew that her palms were already covered with a thin layer of sweat .A cold air penetrated from the soles of the feet, and it was cold to the heart.

Back in Jingsi Garden, Ruan Yunting stepped back and lay alone on the bed. She kept asking herself, what should she do if Jun Zhaoyan really knew and imitated her handwriting?What did the Jun family do?
Up to now, Ruan Yunting's doubts about Jun Zhaoyan's three concubines have almost disappeared.

I couldn't sleep well all night, maybe I was thinking too much, or maybe there was an evil wind.Waking up early in the morning, Hong Dou found that Ruan Yunting had a low fever.

"Girl, either the servant has gone back to the old lady, you are not feeling well, you should rest in the mansion for a day."

Ruan Yunting shook her head wearily, and said: "It's okay. The matter of the third wife happened only yesterday. I'd better not mess with my ancestors. Make me a bowl of ginger soup later, drink it and drink it." never mind."

"The slave is going here."

Hongdou hurried to make ginger soup, while He Chanjuan from Han Bin's family helped Ruan Yunting change her clothes.

Ruan Yunting stood on the pedal in front of the bed, slightly opened her arms, her manner was elegant and noble, but her eyes were a little wandering.

Han Bin's family only thought that Ruan Yunting was ill, and said worriedly: "Miss, are you really okay? Do you want me to invite the doctor to take a look?"

Ruan Yunting smiled back, "Mother Han, I'm fine. By the way, Mrs. Jun came to see the old lady yesterday, but is there something wrong?"

Ruan Yunting's question was so straightforward that Han Bin's family was taken aback for a moment.Ever since she followed Ruan Yunting, she found that the girl was cautious and polite, but she would never do anything that would make the old lady unhappy, so she knew that she had a close relationship with the old lady, and she never asked about the old lady's personal affairs .

But today...

Ruan Yunting seemed to see what Han Bin's family was thinking, and said with a smile: "I'm just curious, Mrs. Jun is not at the mansion at night to rest, what is she doing in our mansion." The smile was innocent, and it seemed completely curious.

Han Bin's family did not suspect him, and said: "I didn't serve you at that time, so I don't know, but I guess it should be a very important matter."

Still can't fully use it for her?Ruan Yunting looked at Han Bin's house with a smile, and felt that her temples were throbbing even more violently.
