"That girl is also kind-hearted, but she has a miserable life!" Speaking of Shui Ruolan, the old lady sighed again, and her face darkened.
"Grandma, have you told Aunt Shui?" Qin Wanru asked carefully.
"Your Aunt Shui... she won't be able to get over the hurdle in her heart after all!" The old lady shook her head. She actually didn't know how to explain this clearly. There must be no evidence.
"Grandma, I'm going to persuade Aunt Shui!" Qin Wanru said.
"You?" The old lady looked suspiciously at the little granddaughter in front of her, who still looked like a naive child. This look was really unconvincing.
"That's right, grandma just let me try it! I like Aunt Shui." Qin Wanru coquettishly took the old lady's hand and shook it for a few times. The look on her face dimmed and she said with a hint, " My mother doesn’t seem to like me... I also want someone to love me!"
She bit her red lips in grievance, and her tender little face showed a heart-wrenching sadness. Her big black eyes looked like they had been tempered with ink, full of water and expectation, which really made people feel sad. Reluctant to say no.
The old lady's heart softened, and she still refused to agree, "Okay, okay, then you can just go and try it!"
"Grandma, I'll go find Aunt Shui now!" Upon hearing the old lady's agreement, Qin Wanru stood up excitedly.
"Go!" the old lady said kindly.
"Grandma, I'll come see you later!" Qin Wanru saluted the old lady, saw the old lady nodded, and then turned and left.
"This girl... is also pitiful. Di's heart is really cruel. She actually wants to destroy this girl. No wonder this girl wants to find another elder to love her!" Looking at Qin Wanru's leaving figure, the old lady said Sighing, she truly felt sorry for this child.
"Madam... it's also for the eldest lady!" Aunt Duan made another cup of tea and said cautiously.
"For Yuru, can Zhuo Zhuo's reputation be exchanged? She didn't even think about it. If it weren't for Zhuo Zhuo's biological father, how could Huaiyong survive? His father's life was exchanged for her own glory and wealth, but now she has turned against her. She no longer recognizes the person and wants the person’s daughter to pay the debt for her daughter.”
The old lady snorted coldly and said that she had long seen that Di's treatment of Qin Wanru was just superficial. As long as Qin Yuru's incident happened, Qin Wanru's status would definitely retreat, but she used to think that it was just a matter of superficiality. Some material things and daily preferences may aggrieve the little granddaughter a little, and I will supplement them here. I can't let the little granddaughter be too wronged.
I didn't expect that this time I would have such evil thoughts.
"Madam, what you did is really too much!" Grandma Duan also knew about Qin Wanru's life experience, and couldn't help but sigh at this time.
Other people in the house also knew that the second young lady was not Mrs. Di's biological child, but they all thought that she was just an orphan picked up. They never thought that it was the second young lady's biological father who saved the general, otherwise the general would have died at that time. Ningyuan General's Mansion would not have the current glory.
It can be said that everything in the General's Mansion is the result of the second young lady's biological father risking his life. It is really vicious and callous for the madam to treat the second young lady like this.
"If Zhuo Zhuo can persuade Ruolan this time, she will give Ruolan a good position no matter what. Di Shi really thinks that she is the only one in the general's mansion, and she will scheme against whoever she wants, and she will take advantage of whomever she wants. Whose reputation is your reputation?" The old lady snorted coldly, with a stern look in her eyes.
As a legitimate mother, she couldn't tell Qin Huaiyong some things, so she could only watch Di's cowardly behavior, and she couldn't interfere too much. But if she really did it, don't blame her. She used her aunt's method for once...
The family temple is located in the northwest corner of the backyard of General Ningyuan's Mansion. The place is very remote and no one comes there on weekdays. The so-called family temple is just a small courtyard.
Qin Wanru pushed open the ajar door of the yard and smelled the smell of fireworks. She picked up her skirt and walked in. She saw Shui Ruolan's maid Qionghua cleaning the yard. When she saw Qin Wanru coming over, she hurriedly put down her hand. Broomstick, salute to Qin Wanru.
"Where's Aunt Shui?" Qin Wanru looked around and asked.
"Bake incense inside!" Qionghua replied, "I will go and inform the lady!"
Qin Wanru shook her hand, "No, Qionghua, I have something to ask you!"
"Second Miss, please tell me!" Qionghua said.
"That... night when the accident happened, where did you go? Shouldn't you be guarding Aunt Shui?" Qin Wanru asked without rushing into the house to persuade Shui Ruolan.
"I don't know what I ate that day, but my stomach was full. The young lady saw that my stomach was not full, so I didn't let my slave keep watch."
Qionghua lowered her head and her eyes were red. Her young lady was so wronged now that she had to hide in her family temple. Qionghua felt that she had a great responsibility because she failed to protect her. If that day, she If your stomach is not upset, you will not leave. Then when the general barges in drunkenly, you will find out and stop him.
"Did you eat the leftovers from your Aunt Shui that night?" Qin Wanru asked. Although the maid also had her own portion, the lady from the aristocratic family didn't use much, and the dishes were better than those of the servants. Personal maids often use leftovers from their own ladies.
"No, I didn't use the lady's food that day, I used my own share!" Qionghua thought for a while and shook her head, then explained, "I didn't want to take my share that day, but the lady's portion of the food that day was It was really a bit missing, so a woman in the kitchen advised the slave to bring her own portion, so that the lady’s portion would not be too small and not enough to eat!”
"Why is Aunt Shui's food so small that it's just enough for her to eat?" Qin Wanru keenly grasped the key, and she was sure there must be something fishy in it.
"The slave also asked that day and said that the dishes ordered by the young lady were not much today. The madam also ordered the same ones. After being divided into two portions, there was naturally a lot less. There was only enough for the young lady." Qiong ikebana.
It is such a coincidence that Aunt Shui wants these dishes, and Mrs. Di also needs them. In fact, even if they are needed, it is impossible for each dish to be so small if divided into two portions. It is such a coincidence that every dish is the same. It is really too A bit of a coincidence.
"Qionghua, you should know the woman who persuaded you to take your case, right? Now go find out who she is and what her background is. There should be no problem, right?" Qin Wanru said.
"Second Miss, don't worry, I will go now!" Qionghua nodded.
Qin Wanru asked her to leave, and turned around and entered the middle room, which was the family temple in the mansion. There was a deserted Buddha statue in the middle, and the incense burner in front of the Buddha statue was emitting clear smoke.
A slender figure kneeling in front of the futon in front of the Buddha was chanting prayers devoutly with his hands clasped and his head lowered, as if he had not heard the footsteps approaching from outside.
"Aunt Shui!" Qin Wanru whispered.
The figure on the futon slowly turned around. It was a beautiful beauty in her twenties. Although she was wearing coarse clothes, she had a reassuring gentleness.
"Aunt Shui!" Qin Wanru's tears fell. It had been a long time since she had seen Aunt Shui. In her memory, this gentle woman gave her a kind of maternal love that was missing. She protected her wholeheartedly, even when she was pregnant. She was pregnant and couldn't protect herself, so she tried to protect her again and again.
The past life passed by like a dream, but this friendship only existed.
"Wanru, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Come here and let Aunt Shui see why you are so wronged!" Shui Ruolan stood up with her hand on the table, almost falling down because of her anxiety.
Qin Wanru hurriedly took two steps forward to support her. When he smelled the familiar smell on her body, tears fell down one by one. He hugged Shui Ruolan and threw himself into her arms.
It's great that Aunt Shui is not dead yet, not due to premature birth. In this life, she must protect this poor woman.
Shui Ruolan almost fell down due to such a pounce by her. Fortunately, there was an altar table behind her. She stumbled but managed to stand firm. However, she was hit hard on her lower back, which made her frown in pain.
Feeling her body stiffen, Qin Wanru came to her senses, hurriedly reached out to hold her and stepped back, stretched out his hand to rub her lower back: "Aunt Shui, does it hurt?"
"No, with such a little force, it won't hurt Aunt Shui!" Seeing the girl's dark eyes with mist, Shui Ruolan's heart softened, and she reached out and patted her back gently. He said, "How can Aunt Shui be so delicate? Nothing is wrong!"
This child is so good-looking and well-behaved. It would be great if I had such a daughter! But even if she is not her own daughter, Shui Ruolan is willing to raise this child as her own.
"Is there really nothing wrong?" Qin Wanru sniffed and asked.
"If anything can happen, it will be nothing!" Shui Ruolan said with a soft smile.
"Aunt Shui, don't lie to me. If nothing happened, Aunt Shui would come here? The house here... has never been occupied, how can it be inhabited!" Qin Wanru raised her head and looked at Shui Ruolan and said.
She knew that Shui Ruolan had been living here these days, and even a few days ago no one was allowed to visit.
"Here... it's actually quite nice, quite quiet. You know Aunt Shui always likes cleanliness!" Shui Ruolan felt that it was better not to talk about that kind of thing to children, so she brought up the topic briefly.
"No! It's not good here!" Qin Wanru shook her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said firmly, "Aunt Shui, let's get out of here."
"Wangru, don't lose your temper. Aunt Shui thinks this place is very good. If you miss Aunt Shui in the future, come here to see Aunt Shui!" Thinking that Qin Wanru was having a child's tantrum again, Shui Ruolan coaxed her softly.
"Aunt Shui, someone wants to harm us. Grandma and I both need you!" Qin Wanru looked at Shui Ruolan and said, her voice was not as calm as a girl of her age should be, and her eyes were flashing. The bits of gold and sharpness make people feel inexplicably frightened when they see it, and they have to face what she said.
No matter what, she would not let Mr. Di get her wish. Since some causes are sown, they must have results. The reincarnation of cause and effect must be paid back in the end!
