The people in Dongyuan deliberately concealed Leng Yan's marriage completely, and from top to bottom, they all kept their mouths tightly sealed.
So much so that Leng Yan was going to marry to Dongyuan in three days. Not many people in the family knew about it, let alone outside.
Those who knew still kept their mouths shut, for fear that Shi Qingxue would find out what they were talking about.
Leng Yan had been dreaming about a beautiful aunt since Shi Junhe agreed to get married, but she didn't expect that in a few days, there wouldn't be many people congratulating her and fawning over her. Even if she bumped into someone on the road, her joking eyes would look like they were watching a good show. All her clothes were taken off.
Make her embarrassed and depressed.
However, after Mo Shujun promised Shi Junhe not to publicize the matter, she really let it go and was indifferent to seeing her being laughed at by others.
Leng Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and a poisonous plot flashed in his heart.
She deliberately ran to Mo Shujun, pretending to be obedient and asked: "I heard that the eldest lady has not come back to her parents' home these days. I will marry the eldest master soon. If the main wife is not present, the marriage will be unavoidable." Somewhat unseemly.
If word spreads outside, those who know about it will say that our eldest husband doesn't like to keep public, so he didn't notify the eldest lady who returned to her parents' home. Those who don't know about it will probably accuse our eldest lady of being jealous and intolerant. "
Mo Shujun was very discerning and could immediately tell what Leng Yan was planning.
However, she didn't expose it, and asked pretending not to know: "Oh? So what do you think is the best way to handle this matter?"
"It has been some time since the eldest lady returned to her natal family, and it is not a problem to live there all the time. Therefore, I suggest that our family should send someone to bring the eldest lady back, so that when the slave and the eldest master come to visit, they can also It's not like the mistress of the house is not here, it's against the rules." Leng Yan licked her face, walked around in circles, and finally revealed her purpose.
Mo Shujun was a little stunned when she heard that Leng Yan was actually going to Dong's house to bring Dong Hui back. She thought to herself: Is this girl really so sensible and well-behaved that she doesn't worry about their wedding if Dong Hui returns to Shi Guogong's mansion? Whether it can continue is still a question.
But she looked at Leng Yan carefully for a while, until she saw the faint light flashing in the corner of his eyes, and she suddenly understood everything.
However, he still pretended to be touched and spoke in unison: "It's rare for you to be so sensible and knowledgeable, Yan'er. I'm very relieved. Since you are determined to bring Mr. Dong back to witness your marriage, I will help you with this." Once again, can I personally accompany you to the Dong family and bring you back?"
Leng Yan was so startled by Mo Shujun's unexpected answer that she didn't even respond.
She originally expected that the best result would be that Mo Shujun agreed to let her go to the Dong family to pick up someone, but she didn't expect that Mo Shujun would be willing to condescend to go to the Dong family
Could it be that Mo Shujun suddenly remembered Dong Hui's kindness and wanted to take her back
Leng Yan glanced at Mo Shujun quietly, but saw that the other person's expression was as if painted on his face, every inch and every point was perfectly grasped, and there was no trace of falsehood.
But such a cold look made him even more suspicious.
Not only did she secretly say: It turns out that even those who are watching the excitement don’t think it’s a big deal.
Mo Shujun obviously wanted to watch the fight between her and Dong Hui with her own eyes.
However, this suited her perfectly, so she remained silent.
The two of them had their own secrets, but they happened to have the same goal, so they drove to Dong's house in high spirits.
In the Dong family, Dong's mother Ouyang Yuxin was scolding Dong Hui angrily.
"You said you! You ran back to your parents' house without saying a word. Do you really think that you are a girl and you can do whatever you want? Are you lawless?" Ouyang Yuxin came from a family of military generals. She did not imitate all the ladies' manners, but The loud voice of a family of military commanders has learned a lot.
When the scolding began, people came with guns and sticks, until Dong Hui was demoted to be worthless.
Dong Hui's eyes were filled with tears. She was aggrieved and unwilling, and couldn't help but retort: "In that case, what else can my daughter do except return to her parents' home? Junhe suspected that I was having an affair with another man, and I tried so hard to explain to him. But he refused to listen no matter what. I... Do I still want to stay there and be humiliated by him? "
"This is your fault in the first place! I warned you at the beginning that since you want to marry into the Shiguo Duke's mansion, you must completely break up with the strict rules. It is best not to see each other again forever, so as to avoid being blamed. , You treated me well back then, but look what you have done over the years?" Ouyang Yu cursed with hatred.
Dong Hui's neck shrank, but she still didn't feel that she should be blamed. She steeled herself and retorted sternly: "My daughter has already said that Senior Brother Yan and I are completely clean and have absolutely no personal relationship. That time was just because Senior Brother Yan hadn't seen me for a long time. , and you chose to meet in the middle of the night because you were afraid of being criticized. How did your daughter know that someone would see her? If you didn't scold those nosy gossips, why did you scold your innocent daughter instead? "
Until now, Dong Hui had not realized that her private meeting with Yan Lu was wrong in the first place, and she put all the blame on the second and third parties who discovered the matter.
It seemed that as long as the people in the second and third bedrooms didn't find out, the private meeting between her and Yan Lu wouldn't exist.
Ouyang Yuxin was also furious at her weird public opinion, but there was nothing she could do about Dong Hui.
Fortunately, at this time, a servant came to report that the eldest princess was visiting.
The two women in the room were both shocked and looked at each other, unable to speak for a long time.
You know, even when Shi Junhe wanted to marry Dong Hui and the bride price was sent to the Dong family, Mo Shujun maintained her noble status and never visited the Dong family.
But the Dong family didn't even send invitations, and Mo Shujun actually came to the door by herself.
Is the sun rising in the west
Dong Hui really didn't like Mo Shujun, so she couldn't help but frown and said displeasedly: "What is she here for?"
Ouyang Yuxin slapped Dong Hui hard on the back and scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? She is the one you call mother! Why don't you go out and greet her!"
"I'm not going! She has never liked me, and she even tried to divorce me several times and marry me a new wife. It's definitely not good for me to come now. I'm already back home, and I have to go out and be humiliated by her for whatever I do. "Dong Hui seemed to have her butt nailed to the stool and refused to move.
Ouyang Yuxin was so angry at her that her face turned red and her neck thickened, and she wanted to hit her again. Then an idea flashed in her mind, and she stopped moving her hands. She then looked at Dong Hui in surprise: "I know what she is here to do!"
"What?" Dong Hui replied without interest.
Ouyang Yuxin was so excited that she didn't even notice Dong Hui's emotions. Instead, she pulled Dong Hui over happily and analyzed happily: "It must be that Duke Shi knew that your mistress was not at home and felt uncomfortable. I couldn't help but beg you to go back, so I asked the eldest princess to take action.
He must think that as long as the eldest princess comes and doesn't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, even if you are angry with him again, you still have to show some face to the eldest princess. "
The more Dong's mother talked, the more she felt that this was the case. She nodded repeatedly and concluded firmly: "Daughter! The eldest princess has personally come to beg you to go back!"
"Isn't it possible?" Dong Hui had been fighting with Mo Shujun for so many years, and she thought she knew Mo Shujun's temperament very well. She didn't think that Mo Shujun would really do this for her.
However, Ouyang Yuxin's explanation was indeed 'reasonable', which made her a little moved.
"This must be the case. I won't be wrong! Why don't you get up quickly? Let's go to the hall and take a look. Then we will know what's going on?" Ouyang Yuxin picked up Dong Hui and led her to the hall. bring.
Although Dong Hui was still a little reluctant, she couldn't help but look forward to Mo Shujun's visit.
By the time they reached the hall, the servants had already served Mo Shujun tea.
Dong Hui hadn't seen Mo Shujun for a long time, and suddenly she saw her sitting and drinking tea with a peaceful face. Her expression seemed to be no longer as cold as before, and her original resistance was less.
Ouyang Yuxin was still winking from behind, so Dong Hui just stepped forward, gave Mo Shujun a blessing ceremony, and said hello according to the rules: "I would like to say hello to my mother. How is your mother today?"
Mo Shujun rarely showed some kindness to Dong Hui, and replied calmly: "Everything is well in this palace. Huiniang, you haven't been home for a few days, right? Are you used to living in your mother's house?"
Just when Dong Hui was about to reply that it was okay, Ouyang Yuxin poked her waist first to stop her from talking.
He talked to Mo Shujun enthusiastically, "My mother-in-law hasn't been to our Dong family for a long time. I didn't greet her well. Please forgive me."
Ouyang Yuxin's original intention was to get closer to Mo Shujun, but she didn't expect that Mo Shujun was used to other people's honorifics. Suddenly she heard the other party call her by the title of a peer, and she frowned suddenly, and her dignified face became tense again. .
As soon as Dong Hui saw her, she knew that her mother had touched Mo Shujun's minefield. She quickly pulled Ouyang Yuxin behind her and apologized: "Mother is just too happy to see my mother. If it offends me, please forgive me." Forgive me."
Normally, Mo Shujun would definitely not forgive her, and might just throw up her sleeves and leave.
However, thinking of the purpose of her trip, she endured it and simply said: "It doesn't matter."
Dong Hui was surprised at how easy Mo Shujun was to talk. Ouyang Yuxin's analysis flashed through her mind again, and she couldn't help but have expectations in her heart.
She looked at Mo Shujun and asked, "I wonder why mother came here this time?"
Mo Shujun took a sip of tea and then said slowly: "I saw that you haven't been home for a long time, so I came here to ask, has your anger subsided? Can you go home with me?"
This was simply the most kind and touching words Dong Hui heard from Mo Shujun in her life.
Dong Hui's eyes immediately turned red, as if all the previous grievances had disappeared because of Mo Shujun's words.
Sure enough, Mo Shujun came to take her back for Shi Junhe this time.
Although the person Dong Hui most wanted to see was Shi Junhe, she also knew that Shi Junhe was proud and did not have to ask her husband to beg her before she would return to Shi's house.
Even if Shi Junhe asked his two daughters to pick her up, she might be shaken and go back.
Now Shi Junhe has invited Mo Shujun, which is a huge favor for Dong Hui.
Dong Hui was a little stunned.
When Ouyang Yuxin saw Dong Hui staying still, she quickly pushed her and reminded her in a low voice: "Hurry up and agree! Stop showing off..."
"Yes, yes..." Dong Hui stammered in response.
She was just about to say something special, don't make it appear that she is too willful and would not go home until her elders come to invite her.
Who would have thought that Mo Shujun put down the tea cup at this time and said leisurely: "As long as you are willing to go home! I am still worried that if you refuse to go back, who will take charge of the matter of taking concubines with my son in three days? Woolen cloth!"
"What?" Ouyang Yuxin screamed strangely, almost thinking that he heard wrongly.
She quickly turned to look at Dong Hui, only to find that the latter also had a blank look on his face, and his whole body was as stiff as a stone.
"Ah Hui, Ah Hui, are you okay? Don't scare me!" Ouyang Yuxin tentatively called Dong Hui twice, but received no response.
She was so scared now that she didn't even bother to ask what Mo Shujun meant by what she just said. She quickly helped Dong Hui sit down aside and beat her chest and heart for Dong Hui.
After a while, Dong Hui took a deep breath and regained consciousness.
Immediately, her tears fell.
Dong Hui looked at Mo Shujun in disbelief and asked word for word: "What do you mean by what you just said?"
Mo Shujun pretended to be surprised and asked, "Didn't He'er tell you?"
Seeing Dong Hui, he stared at her in silence and continued: "In three days, he will marry my maid Leng Yan. He agreed to this more than a month ago. I thought He told you, I didn’t expect this child to not tell you such an important thing. It’s really outrageous! I’ll go back to you... "
"My mother-in-law!" Ouyang Yuxin finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted sharply, interrupting Mo Shujun's strange words.
