"What does mother think is wrong?" Compared to Sun's sudden panic, Gong Liangshan was only a little surprised, and subconsciously asked, Tang Lihua said calmly, "Of course there is nothing wrong, Yuan'er is the Hou's mansion." Miss Zhengzheng, I won't allow you to confuse the public with this for the sake of Song Jing's reputation."
In the soft voice of her mother-in-law, Sun stood up all of a sudden, her eyes widened, and she looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief.
Her hands turned white from being pinched, it was just years of upbringing that made her hold back, she was not rude, Sun managed to calm down, and forced a smile, "How can the old lady say that, doing this to Jing'er Well, Yuan'er's reputation can be preserved..."
Before she finished speaking, Tang Lihua shot her sharp eyes like a sharp sword, and Mrs. Sun paused, feeling that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry.
"Yuan'er's reputation? How do I know when Yuan'er's reputation will be damaged?" The temperature in Tang Lihua's eyes completely cooled down, and she looked at Sun with a half-smile.
Sun shuddered involuntarily, feeling that her mother-in-law's eyes gave her a chill, and said in a low voice, "Daughter-in-law doesn't mean that."
Tang Lihua asked back, "Then what do you mean? Is that what you mean by bringing Yuan'er together for Song Jing's sake?"
Sun took a step back involuntarily, but her calf bumped into the stone chair, and there was no way out.
Gong Liangshan was not stupid either, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he came out to smooth things over, "Mother, don't get angry, if mother feels something is wrong, what should I say?"
Seeing that he deliberately changed the subject, Tang Lihua didn't continue to make things difficult, and resumed her indifferent appearance just now, "You should ask yourself this matter. You are now the master of the family, and it's time for you to decide for yourself."
Gong Liangshan immediately felt a headache. When his mother was teaching him homework when he was a child, he used the facts of the past to test him. When he said what he understood, his mother said it was wrong again and asked him to say it again and again until she was satisfied. .
When he grows up, he will ask his mother to make decisions about any important matters in the mansion, and the same is true for her mother.
In fact, Gong Liangshan has been used to it since he was a child. It's just that his mother doesn't care about things for several years, and he has to make many decisions by himself. It has been a long time since he felt this way.
But since the mother said so, it is necessary for him to come up with a charter that satisfies the mother.
Gong Liangshan thought about it carefully. After all, it was his father. In the past, Gong Liangshan also loved Gong Liangjing's daughter, but he was more sensible, knowing that Yuan'er was his own, and he loved them equally.
But as the Marquis of Ningyuan, Gong Liangshan still pays more attention to blood. If he was asked to choose between his own daughter and adopted daughter, he would definitely choose his own.
It would be better if we could have the best of both worlds, that's why Gong Liangshan made his previous proposal.
Gong Liangshan didn't know what happened today, but he knew that his mother punished Sun and Jing'er yesterday.
Looking at her mother's attitude now, she was leaning towards Yuan'er, so she had to think about it a little bit more. Seeing that Gong Liangshan was really lost in thought, Mrs. Sun became even more anxious.
But under the authority of her mother-in-law, she dared not speak again, deeply afraid that she would say the wrong thing again.
Tang Lihua didn't urge anyone, and fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hands. Mrs. Qian came over from nowhere and whispered a few words in Tang Lihua's ear.
The indifference on Tang Lihua's face disappeared completely, and there was a smile in her voice, "Take a bowl of lotus seed soup from the small kitchen, and more sugar, so that the girl will sweeten her mouth after drinking the medicine."
Mrs. Qian also smiled, "The old lady is still caring, and the old slave will be sent away."
"You talk too much."
Mrs. Qian bent over and turned to leave, when she suddenly thought of something, seeing that the old lady didn't shy away from Mrs. Hou Yehou, she just said, "Perhaps you didn't call the second girl over, the old slave looked at her a little bit listlessly."
Tang Lihua heard the beads in her hand, "Tell her to rest well, and come to my courtyard tomorrow morning to say hello."
Mrs. Qian knew that this was the old lady's connivance, so she agreed with a smile and withdrew.
I was planning to let the servants go there, but now I changed the main point and plan to go there myself.
Tinglanyuan, originally full of disappointment, saw Mrs. Qian bring lotus seed soup from the grandmother's courtyard, and Gong Liangyuan turned happy.
It didn't matter too much, so she lifted her skirt and walked to the door, looking at Mrs. Qian expectantly.
Mrs. Qian handed the bowl in her hand to Mrs. Wang, and said to the second girl who was looking at her with bright eyes, "The old lady misses the second girl, and asked the old slave to bring lotus seed soup. After the second girl drank the medicine, she used the soup to sweeten her mouth." .”
Sure enough, after hearing this, Gong Liangyuan narrowed her eyes with a smile, and even the inconspicuous dimples appeared, and her heart softened a little when she saw the three women in the room.
"Then did grandma say anything else?" Gong Liangyuan asked again after the loss in her heart was filled.
"The old lady told the second girl to have a good rest at night, and I will go to pay my respects to the old lady in the morning." Mrs. Qian said with a smile.
Although she didn't get the word that she could see her grandmother now, Gong Liangyuan was still very happy to see that her grandmother missed her, and even Mrs. Qian came over by her side.
Besides, since she will be able to see her grandmother again a long time ago, Gong Liangyuan thinks that the medicine she will drink later will not be bitter...it's strange.
Under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Qian, Gong Liangyuan gulped down the medicine, her whole face wrinkled in pain.
Not wanting to be tortured mouthful by mouthful, Gong Liangyuan pinched her nose and gulped down the medicine in one mouthful. Because it was too bitter, she almost vomited it out.
Wiping the medicine stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, Mrs. Wang passed the lotus seed soup in her hand in due course, and Gong Liangyuan put a spoonful into her mouth. Sure enough, the bitterness in her mouth was completely covered by the sweetness.
Mrs. Qian waited for the second girl to use up the lotus seed soup and said something to Mrs. Wang before going back.
Here, after Mrs. Qian left, Gong Liangshan was already disturbed by the news just now. Listening to what his mother and Mrs. Qian said, could it be Yuaner
With this question in his heart, Gong Liangshan asked it out, not only her, but Sun Shi was equally curious.
After getting a definite answer, Gong Liangshan was even more surprised, "When did mother and Yuan'er hit it off so much?"
"Yuan'er is my granddaughter, and she fits my fancy, so I'm a little partial." Tang Lihua took it for granted.
Gong Liangshan shut his mouth, he has always been unable to see through his mother, but he has never seen her care so much about any junior, even for his own son, she is always indifferent.
Is it an intergenerational relative? Then why was it not the case with Jing'er before? Gong Liangshan could only use his eyes to convince himself.
At the same time, he actually felt a little envious of his daughter, aware of his own thoughts, Gong Liangshan shook his head amusedly.
"As long as mother likes it."
Sun opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say, she didn't know when she got up, and she lost the ability to speak in front of her mother-in-law.
Gong Liangshan didn't think too much, and the food on the table was cold after a long delay.
Guessing what his mother was thinking, Gong Liangshan tentatively said, "Then Jing'er is the daughter of Sun's distant cousin, because more than ten years ago, the cousin's family was in trouble and came to stay at home for a short time, but she was born with Sun on the same day. lay down the child.
Only Yuan'er is weak, and has been raising her body in the deep boudoir these years. After Jing'er's mother gave birth to her, she died of frailty, and our Hou Mansion has been raising her until now. "
What Gong Liangshan said was well-founded, and Tang Lihua looked at him appreciatively.
It's just that before she could speak, Mrs. Sun quit and objected. She had already sat back and grabbed Gong Liangshan's sleeve on the table, "Husband, Jing'er is also our daughter. If you say so , how will the outside world talk about it, and how will Jing'er get a foothold in Beijing?"
Sun's heart is to love girls, and Gong Liangshan also hesitated. What Sun said is not unreasonable. Originally, if Jing'er can bear the identity of the eldest lady of the Hou's mansion and marry a good family, it will also help the Hou's mansion.
Seeing that her words were effective, Mrs. Sun turned to her mother-in-law again, pleading with her eyes.
Tang Lihua didn't seem to realize it, and said to Gongliang, "Just as you said, change her to Song Jing, and make it clear to the outside world that someone from Song Jing's family will pick up her daughter, and let her leave Beijing soon."
Now not only Sun's reaction was great, even Gong Liangshan looked at his mother, "Is it wrong to do this?"
After all, it was the daughter that had been raised for fifteen years, and the Hou Mansion had done their best for her. If they sent her away, the previous years would be in vain, and Gong Liangshan himself was a little bit reluctant.
Unlike Gong Liangshan who can maintain reason, Sun stood up excitedly again, regardless of her mother-in-law's power, she couldn't believe it, "The old lady is so cruel, where is she going to send Jing'er, and then to that farmer's house?" Is it? The old lady wants Jing'er to die!"
Seeing her being so disrespectful, Gong Liangshan slapped the table, "Presumptuous, how can you talk to your mother like that."
Mrs. Sun was also angry. She looked at her husband with hurt eyes, "Jing'er is also your daughter. She has been calling you daddy for more than ten years. How can you be so cruel?"
"Our Hou's mansion has no worries about food and clothing for her. Now that we know that she is not the daughter of the Hou's mansion, it is only natural that we all return to their original positions. I want to ask you, why are you so cruel?" Tang Lihua's expression was calm.
"Yuan'er is now back in the Hou's Mansion, but what about the Song family's daughter, if it gets out, they will think that our Hou's Mansion is bullying others and forcing them to keep other people's daughters."
Sun's face turned pale when she said "don't ask", and she sweated the handkerchief in her hand. She thought quickly, "The Hou family has already given the Song family money, and the Song family only thinks that they have no daughter. No one will know."
"The Hou family is really kind. They raised other people's daughters as treasures. If their own daughters are abused by others, it's fine if they don't resent them. They are willing to give money to others for the sake of the treasure that cultivated their feelings. I really want to sigh for the benevolence of Mrs. Hou." Virtue." Tang Lihua's words were full of sarcasm.
Mrs. Sun felt as if she had received a severe blow when she heard this, she put her hands on her chest, lost her mind, and shook her head again and again, "It's not like that, it's not like that..."
Suddenly, she seemed to have caught something, and explained eagerly, "But Yuan'er was also raised by the Song family, if the Hou family held the Song family accountable, Yuan'er would definitely be sad."
Tang Lihua smiled, "Then you can ask Yuan'er, besides her adoptive mother, who else in the Song family has a little affection for, a grandma who beats and scolds you every day, and a grandmother who treats you as nothing and wants to sell you Going to do house filling for others, in exchange for money to give his son a wife, a younger brother who only knows how to instruct you to do things, and is lazy."
"Just these useless people are what you call accountable. Yuan'er will be sad? You really are a good mother, but Song Jing's good mother." Tang Lihua's eyes were full of sarcasm, and she looked straight at sun.
Seeing that, Sun's face was pale, and he had nowhere to escape.
