Luo Ran heard something was wrong from the words of his grandmother and aunt, and asked: "Grandma said that Duke Jingguo married Xie Nianyi because of her beauty. My aunt also said that the relationship between the two did not seem to be very good. Also, since Xie Nianyi concealed it at the beginning Her life experience says that she is an orphan, does the old Lord Jing agree with this marriage?"
In her eyes, the Fu family was profit-seeking from the very beginning, and it was impossible for the wife of the then crown prince to fall on an orphan girl.
Wang also shook his head: "Many people were wondering about this at the time. Later, not even a month after Xie's death, Fang came in, and Fu Shiheng was only less than two years younger than Fu Jin'an. Everyone guessed that Fu Yi He regretted marrying Xie Nianyi, but it was because the old Duke Jing didn’t dare to do anything. Not only that, just after the old Duke Jing died, he hooked up with the Fang family. When the Xie family died, the Fang family naturally became the wife of the Duke of Jing. .”
Thinking of himself in his previous life, Luo Ran couldn't help but sneer: "The Fu family really has this tradition."
"What did Ranran say?"
Mrs. Shen didn't hear clearly for a moment.
Luo Ran came back to his senses and said, "I said, Mrs. Xie is really pitiful."
Wang sighed and said, "Who says it's not the case?"
"Then what about the Emperor, doesn't he care?"
Luo Ran didn't know why he blurted out these words.
Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Wang both looked at her strangely.
Wang smiled and said: "You silly boy, what does this have to do with the emperor? As long as there is no scandal about doting on concubines and killing wives, and no one in the family comes forward, the emperor will turn a blind eye to these things. but,"
"But what?"
Luo Ran asked.
Wang sneered and said: "But Duke Jingguo's house can be regarded as retribution. The old Duke Jingguo was in good health, but suddenly he said that he could not be saved, and the old lady was also paralyzed. Duke Jingguo is now in his forties and has accomplished nothing. What is this but retribution? "
Mrs. Shen held Luo Ran's hand and said distressedly: "So, we didn't agree with you marrying into such a family at the beginning. But there was no way, the holy life was difficult. But fortunately, the emperor still cared about that young man working for him. For the sake of many years, I have given you a mansion. I heard that you haven’t kowtowed to their ancestors yet?”
In most families, on the second day after the bride enters the house, she would open an ancestral hall to recognize her ancestors, but the Fu family didn't know what was going on.
Luo Ran nodded: "Well, they didn't mention it, and I pretended not to know."
Mrs. Shen nodded: "That's fine. Look at it, the Fu family will split up sooner or later. If it doesn't work, we will set up another family. The Fu family is not a golden nest. I just wronged you."
Luo Ran couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong with this? I think it's very good."
Mrs. Shen thought she was trying to comfort herself, then sighed helplessly and asked, "Where's the Xie family..."
Luo Ran shook his head: "He didn't say anything. I just pretended that I didn't know anything."
Mrs. Shen nodded: "That's the truth. Don't worry, your aunt and I will pretend that we haven't heard anything."
Wang: "Naturally."
After having lunch at Shen's house and resting for a while, Luo Ran saw that the Qingning siblings had woken up from their nap, so he said goodbye to his grandmother and aunt and prepared to return home.
Chunyu came over in a hurry and whispered: "Madam, my lord is here to pick you up, right outside the gate."
Luo Ran raised his eyebrows, turned around and looked at Shen Yuzhi with a smile: "Cousin, please help me hug Qing Ning, okay?"
Shen Yuzhi nodded tenderly, opened his arms towards Qing Ning in his grandma's arms, and said with his eyes bent: "Ning'er, can uncle hug you?"
"Dou Dou Hug, Dou Dou Hug!"
Little Qing Ning stretched out her little arms and ran forward to exert herself.
Outside Shen's house, Fu Jin'an heard the movement behind him and turned around, and saw a man and a woman coming out of the house side by side.
The woman's features are picturesque and her skin is as good as snow. She is dressed in a yellow dress with a moon-white cloak. She looks so fresh and clean in this October windy autumn day.
Looking at the man next to him, he has a face like a clear breeze and a bright moon, dressed in blue and white brocade clothes. He is holding a pink dumpling in his arms. He listens to the woman's words intently, and then turns back to touch the forehead of the little baby in his arms. The eyes are full of doting, and they look like a family of three getting ready to go out. The husband and wife are in love, and the children are lively and healthy.
Picture: Xiao Qingning and uncle Shen Yuzhi
As soon as Luo Ran came out, he also saw that figure. He was tall, dressed in black brocade clothes, and had a handsome and cold face. He was so dazzling that he couldn't even pretend not to see it.
But she turned sideways and spoke to Shen Yuzhi first: "Okay, let's send my cousin here. Qing Ning, Jing Xing, see you uncle again."
Jing Xing was held in Mammy's arms, stretched out his little hand and waved it perfunctorily: "See you, Doudou."
Qing Ning hugged Shen Yuzhi's neck tightly and refused to let go, obviously reluctant to let go of her uncle.
Shen Yuzhi was even more happy to be liked by his niece, and said: "I'm fine anyway, I'll give you a piece of cake."
Both of them pretended that the person next to them didn't exist.
Fu Jin'an finally couldn't help it, hugged Jing Xing with one hand, and looked at Shen Yu with a smile, "Since Mr. Shen likes children so much, why don't you have one yourself?"
Shen Yuzhi responded with a faint smile: "Now I won't bother Mr. Fu to worry about it."
Holding Qing Ning with one hand, and supporting Luo Ran's arm to get into the carriage with the other hand, he did not forget to say: "Watch your step."
The two of them completely ignored Fu Jinan.
Fu Jinan's eyes narrowed slightly, until Xiao Jingxing saw his mother and sister getting on the carriage, and he was left outside, and he groaned unhappily, then he opened the curtain, but he had just stepped halfway, Just listen to Luo Ran's cold voice inside: "I'm tired and want to lie down for a while. You can ride back."
Then he asked Nanny to take Jing Xing, and he closed his eyes as expected.
Shen Yuzhi looked at Fu Jin'an who was stunned on the spot, and kindly reminded him: "If Mr. Fu wants to know why my cousin is angry, you should think about what you have done."
Fu Jin felt relieved, looked at Shen Yuzhi's smiling eyes, then looked back at the carriage that was tightly covered by the curtains, lowered his face, and said in a cold voice: "Could it be that you would rather believe outsiders than me?"
The corners of Luo Ran's mouth suddenly raised, but he still said in a cold voice: "My cousin is not an outsider, he will not lie to me!"
There was a smile in Fu Jinan's eyes, and he took back his foot that was about to step onto the carriage, and said: "In that case, I won't explain much, you can do it yourself!"
He walked away.
Before leaving, he took a deep look at Shen Yuzhi.
Shen Yu nodded imperceptibly.
The carriage slowly left, and Shen Yuzhi stood there and watched it disappear from his sight.
If before today he thought that Ran'er was forced to marry Fu Jinan, but just now, the tacit understanding between the two in just a moment could not deceive anyone.
Not sure what he was thinking of, Shen Yuzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, and finally murmured: "Ranran, you want to be happy."
"Sir, what did you say?"
The boy next to me didn't hear clearly and asked again.
Shen Yuzhi glanced at something inadvertently and said, "My cousin likes roasted chestnuts from the west of the city. Go buy some and send them over."
The boy Zhanger was confused: "Oh, yes, I'll go right now."
Here, as soon as Luo Ran's carriage arrived at the gate of Fu's mansion, he saw an uninvited guest.
She lowered her head and pretended not to see it, but Fu Shiheng stopped her: "Ran, sister-in-law!"
