married daughter

Chapter 143 Unbearable
Ruan Yunting sat on the bed with her knees hugged, her snow-white feet exposed to the air, already freezing cold.Looking at the closed lattice window, through the screen, you can see the dark blue sky outside.It's already a quarter of the hour.

The old lady has been in the palace for one night, and there is no news so far.What is the emperor's intention?Ruan Yunting was very worried, the emperor definitely didn't want his relatives to cause trouble, and he would definitely give the Lu family an explanation.In the eyes of the emperor, she, Ruan Yunting, is nothing more than a mustard. When necessary, pulling a grass can appease the Lu family, why not pull it?
"Open the door, open the door, open the door!" At this very moment, someone outside the courtyard door was slapped deafeningly, and the mother-in-law was also shouting in a rough voice.

Ruan Yunting was taken aback. Could it be that the old lady has news?He hurriedly got up and put on a gown, pulled the embroidered shoes and pushed the door out.

The little girl outside had already gone to open the courtyard door, and saw a group of maids rushing in with lanterns, followed by Mother Chang who was next to the third wife.

Han Bin's family put on a jacket and went forward: "Why is Chang's mother here at this hour?"

"Masters are discussing matters in the Rongzhi Hall. Madam sent this old servant to invite Miss Ruan over."

Ruan Yunting felt that something was wrong. Chang's mother was also very respectable around the third wife. Usually, she would not care about such things as running errands. Since she came to "invite someone" in person, things must not be simple.

"Mother Chang, let me prepare later."

"Hurry up, girl, my wife is waiting." Chang's mother said impatiently.

Han Bin's family went to have tea with Chang's mother, Ruan Yunting went to wear a bright yellow jacket and skirt, her long hair was combed into a double bun, and she left the Jingsi Garden without makeup.

Han Bin's family was worried, so they left Hongdou to guard in the yard, and took Chanjuan to follow Ruan Yunting.

Rongzhi Hall is now brightly lit.The darkest hours before dawn are illuminated by lights as bright as day.As soon as Ruan Yunting stepped into the room, she felt that the atmosphere was very wrong.

The eldest wife, the third master, and the third wife sat according to their status, the second master and the second grandmother stood behind the eldest wife, and the third wife and young men stood behind the third wife and the third master.Xu Chengfeng and Ruan Junlan stood side by side on the left side.

It looked like the whole family was here.Could it be that there was news from the palace that something happened to the old lady?

Ruan Yunting felt chilly in her heart, saluted with blessings, and took Han Bin's family and Chanjuan to the last position of the sisters on the right.

Seeing that everyone was here, the third wife stared at Ruan Yunting with a smile that was not a smile, and said in a moderate voice: "The whole family is invited here at this time, and it is really because of a hurry. The old ancestor went all night and there is no news." , I was panicked. I couldn’t sleep all night after such a big incident happened yesterday.”

The eldest lady sighed, "Who says it's not, I'm still struggling with it, and I don't know what happened to my ancestor."

Hearing the words, the second mistress hurriedly patted the eldest wife's chest to calm her breath, and comforted her softly: "Madam, don't worry, the old ancestor will be fine."

"I hope so." The eldest lady rubbed between her brows wearily.

"Now that I think about it, our mansion turned out to be so good. The men's official careers are going well, and the brothers and sisters are well-behaved and sensible. Since I entered the Xu family's door, this is the first time I have encountered a battle like yesterday, and someone brought a weapon Come steal the house!"

The third wife's words brought back everyone's memory, and everyone in the room nodded their heads in embarrassment.Seeing this, the third wife felt complacent and sighed:

"I can understand the old lady's preference for her granddaughter. After all, my sister left early. Brother Lan and Sister Ting have no father or mother. It is very pitiful. However, some people just don't want to be loved by others!" The third wife Speaking of this, her voice suddenly raised, her eyes shot straight at Ruan Yunting like a knife, she stood up and pointed her fingers and said:
"In the past, we were unruly, troublesome, petty theft...we endured all these countless problems. We always thought that you were a child with a pitiful background, and ran to the old lady because it was your grandmother. If you visit the Xu family, you can't be cruel and ignore them, and you are tolerant of those mistakes. Are you talking about how the Xu family has treated your siblings all these years?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone turned their eyes to Ruan Yunting.

The third wife continued to scold: "It's delicious and easy to use, and I treat you just like we treat the girls and young masters of our Xu family. But what about you! After a few months of silence, let's burn incense and chant Buddha, thank you Bodhisattva for blessing You have changed it, but now you have learned to hook up with men after you have changed your small problem! You have caused trouble, not to mention, it has brought trouble to the whole family! You say this is not leading wolves into the house! Could it be that my Xu family takes in orphans just to wait? Do you want to be humiliated by others!"

The third wife's words were so serious that the blood on the faces of Ruan Yunting and Ruan Yunlan was completely drained.No one in the house said anything.

But Xu Chengfeng couldn't understand the domineering appearance of the third wife, and said in a lukewarm way: "Grandma took in her granddaughter, why did she become the Xu family's good deed to take in orphans? Didn't the third aunt regard sister Ruan as an outsider? You called us here, is it because you want the juniors to learn how to treat your own family harshly?"

"You!" The third wife was very angry, and taunted: "Brother Feng likes to talk, is it true that when the second brother is at the border and didn't teach Brother Feng to speak to the elders, the younger generation has no right to intervene?"

Xu Chengfeng blushed, unable to say a word, and shook his sleeves in silence.

The third master looked down on the third wife, even if he felt that the third wife was right, he still wanted to argue with her, so he reprimanded: "Okay, at this critical point, what are you talking about?"

"Don't say it, can it be done if you don't say it? The old lady loves her granddaughter and can't bear to punish her. Is it impossible for everyone in our big family to be buried with an outsider? Sister-in-law, tell me, if there is no Ruan Yunting for this matter, it will become How is it now? Yesterday you almost followed the old lady into the doorpost! Don’t tell me we have to put up with it if we hurt us like this?”

The words of the third wife are in the heart of the eldest wife, how many women in the inner house can bear the thrilling scene yesterday?Everyone has lingering fears.

It's just that she doesn't say everything like the third wife, and she will never be the first bird.At this moment, he sighed and said: "Hey, the old ancestor is not in the mansion now, the situation in the palace is not yet known, it will not be too late to make a decision after her old man returns to the mansion."

"Sister-in-law, you are so kind-hearted." The third wife said excitedly: "Today, something happened to the young master of Lu Guogong's family, and he brought people to search the house, and tomorrow she might offend some powerful person , Maybe we will lose our lives at that time, where can we buy the medicine that we regret! The old lady is all about her granddaughter and is reluctant to deal with it, but our Xu family has a century-old foundation. Do you still have the face to face your ancestors?!"

The eldest wife said: "Then according to the third wife's wishes?"

"The old lady is soft-hearted. We are both the Xu family, and we can't let things go on like this. According to me, our Xu family has already done their best."

The implication is to drive Ruan Yunting and brother away!

Ruan Yunting closed her eyes. This is the so-called family affection. Although she has tried her best, she still has to bring Brother Lan down.The Lu family is eyeing her fiercely. If she loses the protection of the Xu family, she doesn't know if she can protect Brother Lan's safety.

"Sister, let's go!" Ruan Junlan strode up to Ruan Yunting, took her cold hand and walked out.

"Brother Lan!"

Ruan Yunting hurriedly broke away, and looked at Ruan Yunlan with tears in her eyes. Because of the background of the Xu family, Ruan Yunlan was able to study in Fengxian Academy and make friends with the children of the famous Zanying family, paving the way for the future. Regardless of whether the Lu family has ambitions or not, Brother Lan's future is completely ruined!

"The old man hasn't come back yet!"

"Sister, you didn't do anything wrong!" Ruan Yunlan turned around and looked at the people in brocade clothes sitting on the main seat with a sneer, "Mother's last wish was for us to come back to serve our ancestors, but the current situation is not that we don't want to stay , but they don't allow us. I don't think mother will blame us!"

Ruan Yunting shook her head: "No, the ancestor hasn't come back, we can't leave like this!" After leaving, wouldn't the third wife and others arrange them? !
Seeing this, Han Bin's family also came out to persuade him, "Master Lan calm down, the third wife is just angry, and she spoke a little louder..."

Ruan Yunlan laughed, pointing at the people on the main seat and said: "Mother Han, you can see clearly today, these elders are clearly going to pick themselves out when they see something wrong!" Pulling Ruan again Yun Ting's hand went out: "Sister, let's go, we can beg all the way to find them all the way at the age of six, I don't believe that we will starve to death when we go out at such an age, and we can't live without them?! Go!!"

"Brother Lan, calm down!" Ruan Yunting shook her head, but her strength was no match for Ruan Yunlan, and she was dragged far away, so she couldn't do anything, so she could only whisper: "Now that I'm gone, I can't say anything clearly ! Talking about it is a dead end!"

Ruan Yunting had no choice but to speak out, like cold water pouring on Ruan Yunlan's head, he stopped in his tracks.

They left, how would the third wife and the others tell the old lady in order to shirk responsibility?It must be unintelligible and cheap for others.Talking about Lu Guogong's posture, if they leave Xu's house, their siblings are afraid that they will be beaten so that there will be no bones left.

"We still have Uncle Shui, he..."

Ruan Yunting shook her head, and gently squeezed Ruan Yunlan's hand.

"Brother Lan, why do you lie to yourself?"

They all understand that Shui Qiuxin may not be credible. From his appearance to now, there are too many mysteries. No one can figure out his details, and can't judge whether his performance is acting.He may really have admiration for Ruan Lingyue, but he is not related to his siblings, so why should he accept this mess and become an enemy of the emperor's relatives?
More importantly, people who are related by blood can't be completely trusted nowadays. No one can predict what kind of life a person without blood relationship will bring them without knowing the roots.In comparison, a foreseeable and difficult living environment is far better than an unknown future, because if you go out, you may even lose your life.

Seeing their siblings arguing, the third wife sneered and said, "You treat Xu's family as an inn, so you can leave as soon as you want? But your aunt has taught you a few words, and you just put on such a face, I don't know, it seems that I won't allow Like a human being, I don’t know how to repent when I make a mistake, and contradict my elders, come and ask me for family law!”
