married daughter

Chapter 319

The candles in the room were flickering, and half of the old lady's face was hidden in the shadows. The red sandalwood carved screen on the right side of the Arhat bed reflected her rich figure. With the antique decorations in the room, it looked a bit gloomy.

Ruan Yunting bowed her head and stood in front of the old lady, "What orders does the old ancestor have?"

The old lady pursed her lips, holding the blue-and-white carp water cover bowl in her left hand with a jade finger. Because of the force, the bowl cover and bowl body made a small sound of ceramic friction, which was even more harsh in the silent room.

Suddenly, there was a sound of broken porcelain, and the blue and white carp playing water tureen that was intact just now was already in pieces at Ruan Yunting's feet.

"You kneel down for me!"

I knew the old lady would be angry.Ruan Yunting took two steps back calmly, raised her skirt and knelt down.

The old lady pointed at Ruan Yunting: "Do you really think that this little cleverness can fool the emperor and the world?"

Ruan Yunting smiled wryly: "Ting'er didn't want to fool anyone."

Seeing that she was neither afraid nor regretful, the old lady was even more angry: "If you don't want to fool me, then you are deliberately and blatantly playing tricks on the Holy Majesty? Tell me, is the retiring of the engagement or the safety of the Xu family more important? You are not afraid of getting anxious." Your Majesty, the whole family has been implicated!"

Ruan Yunting raised her head, her eyes as bright as stars were crystal clear, and her voice became high-pitched, "Should Ting'er be abandoned by others, and be chewed by the world as a chat after dinner? Let everyone know that De Ming In order to marry the noble princess, regret the marriage and abandon me, a humble person with an unknown biological father? Then I will lose face and see no one in the future!"

"Then you can't ignore the interests of the Xu family!" The old lady thumped the table angrily.

"For the benefit of the Xu family, I should have the reputation of being an abandoned wife in the future?!" Ruan Yunting was extremely chilled, and her voice was a little choked up.

The old lady said fiercely: "As the Xu family, you should have this awareness!"

With her heart like a cold cellar, Ruan Yunting was completely chilled from the inside out, but her anger was instantly ignited!She stood up abruptly, no longer wronged herself to make a humble gesture, and changed from looking up to the old lady to looking down: "I have paid enough for the Xu family!"

"you……"

The old lady pointed at Ruan Yunting, never expecting that she would talk back.

"Old Ancestor, when I came to Xu's house, I put the interests of the family first. Every time I encountered a problem, I would bear it, bear it again, and I would not pursue the same things. For the sake of the family's reputation, For the sake of the family's reputation, for the sake of the unity of the family, I have endured everything I can bear, and I have eaten enough of the losses! Besides, things are different now, and this matter has a bearing on whether I can hold my head up for the rest of my life! Is it for Clan, my life doesn’t matter anymore?!”

"It doesn't matter if you sacrifice alone, it's better than bringing the whole family with you!"

Ruan Yunting laughed back in anger: "Ting'er can't learn the ancestor's deep understanding of righteousness!"

"Sinister! My Xu family's tutoring is all in vain!"

"My tutor has always been given by my mother!" After saying that, she turned around and left!
Ruan Yunting was so angry that her mind went blank, and she rushed all the way back to the Jingsi Garden.

Hongdou, Chanjuan and Zhao Linmu's family knew that the emperor issued an imperial decree to praise Ruan Yunting, and they couldn't bear to wrong her as a concubine. They were all free to marry in the future, and they were all happy for her. They even prepared congratulatory speeches. Unexpectedly, when Ruan Yunting came back, her face was pale with anger, and the three of them dared not say anything more, quietly went to prepare hot tea and snacks for her, and retreated to the door to guard.

Ruan Yunting sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, drank half a cup of tea, and finally calmed down.

She was so mad that she was able to yell at the old lady who was the head of the family, and dared to throw her face away.She felt right and dared not do such things before.However, the old lady didn't care about her life, and actually hurt her interests. Such things can be tolerated. Wouldn't the people headed by the old lady have to intensify in the future? !
After getting angry, he said what was in his heart like a cannonball, and he really felt much more comfortable.But after calming down, she also felt that she had done too much.In the future, she and Brother Lan still have to live in the mansion and rely on the old lady, so why did they have a direct conflict with others? It's really irrational to be stunned by anger.

The most urgent thing is to ease the relationship with the old lady, otherwise life will be difficult...

Ruan Yunting held the teacup and thought hard, until the tea was cold, she didn't think of a feasible solution. If people's hearts are hurt, it's not easy to coax them over. If they don't protect people's hearts, the next best thing is to use checks and balances .There is no way to check and balance for a while.

At this moment, Hongdou's voice came from outside: "It's so late, why is Mother Han here?"

Then there was a slightly serious voice from Han Bin's family: "Did the girl fall asleep?"

"Not yet."

The door of the house was pushed open with a creak, and Han Bin's family came in slowly carrying a black lacquered tray, on which was a white porcelain cover cup with a nasturtium border.

"Mother Han." Ruan Yunting stood up, smiling and polite as usual.

Han Bin's family took a look at Ruan Yunting, frowned and said calmly as if angry: "The old lady ordered the old slave to bring a cup of bird's nest to the girl. The girl was busy writing foreigners' music scores a few days ago. Thank you for your hard work." As he spoke, he handed the lid cup to Ruan Yunting, and took off the lid.

Ruan Yunting held the bird's nest and looked at Han Bin's house, feeling cold behind her back.Just ran into the old lady, why didn't the old lady blame her, but a celebrity sent bird's nest?Is the old lady trying to show her favor?No, how can the old lady's temperament bow to her?She was still thinking about how to please the old lady and calm her down. Why did the old lady send all the bird's nests here! ?Is it possible...

Could it be that the bird's nest is poisonous, the old lady wants to poison her to death, right? !

Ruan Yunting looked at the bird's nest in the lid cup, thinking a lot, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Girl, hurry up and take a good rest. The old slave is going back to his life." Han Bin's family reminded him, making it clear that he would not leave unless he saw Ruan Yunting use the bird's nest with his own eyes.

"Oh, good." Ruan Yunting picked up the spoon and stirred it hesitantly.

Just at this moment, I suddenly heard a gentle call from outside the door, "Ting'er!"

Ruan Yunting raised her head sharply, and saw Xu Xiangwan wearing a black cloak, walking quickly into her room. Because of her haste, the cloak bulged behind her, revealing her lavender skirt.Behind her were Bai Wei, the maid of honor, and Xu Chengfeng, who was wearing the official uniform of the Imperial Guard.

"Sister Wan?!" Ruan Yunting blinked in disbelief.

Han Bin's family, Zhao Linmu's family, Hongdou and Chanjuan hurriedly saluted, "Wangui concubine Jin An."

Xu Xiangwan stood outside and waved his hands, saying: "Get up, you all go down, don't reveal the matter of my coming, or watch your heads carefully!"

"Yes." Hongdou and others stepped back together.

Han Bin's family was a little embarrassed, "Girl, this bird's nest..."

Ruan Yunting knew that this bowl of bird's nest probably had something to do with Xu Xiangwan's arrival, so instead of answering Han Bin's, she asked Xu Xiangwan first: "What time is it? Why are you here?"

Xu Xiangwan took off his cloak and handed it to Bai Wei behind him, and said, "I've been here for a while, and I just came from the old lady." While talking, he sat down in an armchair beside him.

Ruan Yunting calculated the time, maybe Xu Xiangwan went there just after she left Pine Age Hall, Xu Xiangwan must have said something to ease the old lady's anger, or put pressure on the old lady, so this bowl came out. bird's nest.No matter what the reason is, it will not poison her to death.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yunting ate the bird's nest with peace of mind, and exchanged the empty lid cup for Han Bin's family.

Han Bin's family saluted Xu Xiangwan and Ruan Yunting politely with a tray, and retreated together with Bai Wei and Xu Chengfeng.

Xu Chengfeng came to the door and said: "My dear concubine, please rest assured, the humble position is not far outside."

Xu Xiangwan nodded with a smile.

Ruan Yunting smiled and said, "I've got my sixth cousin."

Xu Chengfeng winked at Ruan Yunting and closed the door for them.

There was no one else in the room, so Xu Xiangwan got up and went to Ruan Yunting's side, took her hands and said anxiously: "How is it, the old lady didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

Ruan Yunting was inexplicably moved, she shook her head and said, "I'm fine, how about you, why are you coming out of the palace at this time? Did the emperor allow it? Did my sixth cousin help you out?"

Xu Xiangwan said: "I comforted the emperor in the palace before I remembered this matter. After you return to the mansion, you will be held accountable by the old lady, so I begged the emperor to allow me to visit my relatives, and I came out tonight. Didn't the sixth cousin let me go privately?" came out, but was ordered to protect, you just relax."

"That's good." Ruan Yunting breathed out with a long beard, "What if you are tired because of my affairs? It's hard for you to gain a firm foothold in the palace."

"No, the emperor loves me, and he also understands that I am anxious for you, so he allowed me to come out secretly tonight. The ceremonial guard of honor for your concubine's relatives will arrive tomorrow morning, and then I will come back clearly." Xu Xiangwan Holding Ruan Yunting's hand, the two sat on the Arhat's bed together: "I went to the old lady's first, and she seemed to be angry. What's going on?"

When mentioning this matter, Ruan Yunting sighed helplessly: "Don't mention it, this time I really did something wrong on impulse. Just now I had a quarrel with the old lady."

"What?!" Xu Xiangwan said in astonishment: "You actually quarreled with the old lady?" Ruan Yunting is usually very calm, and has always been filial and polite to her elders. When would she do such a thing, let alone her The future is still tied to the old lady.

Ruan Yunting smiled bitterly, "I was just so angry that I spoke out on impulse. The old lady was furious. It was right for me to sacrifice for the Xu family. Just like when she forced you to eat lifelong infertility soup, nothing but disappointment is cold-hearted, so I... hey." Ruan Yunting sighed again.

Xu Xiangwan held Ruan Yunting's hand, and she felt her helplessness and sadness: "We people, how can we live for ourselves. Forget it, let's not talk about it, you have offended the old lady now, what's the next step?" What are your plans?"
