Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the old lady finally returned from Putuo Temple.
I just don't know whether it was because the old lady was too tired from traveling all the way, or because it was too much effort to see her family all at once.
The old lady looked very tired. When Sang Nianyue came to see her, she was looking depressed and her complexion was a little sallow, as if she had just suffered a serious illness.
Sang Nuanyue's heart beat a few times, and she asked the old lady with concern, "What's wrong with you? But you're tired. I see that you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
The old lady was breathing heavily, but she still comforted Sang Nianyue, "I'm not tired, nor am I feeling unwell, I'm just angry with that evil!"
Sang Nuanyue didn't know who the evil obstacle the old lady was talking about was, but she soon found out.
The old lady was filled with righteous indignation and said, "We agreed to go on a blind date, but the villain fooled me. It was just a formality, and nothing happened after that. I asked him what was wrong with that girl Kong Yu? She was lively and smart, She has a beautiful appearance and outstanding family background and character. She is a very nice girl, so if she is willing to marry him for a second marriage, he can have fun secretly, but the result is great, and he is still picky about her young age. "
The old lady slapped the table, "Ningyue, you are one of our own, and I am not afraid of your jokes. Do you think what Dalang did is serious? Since he despises others, why did he agree to meet me?" Isn’t it a waste of effort to make gold locks in the blacksmith shop?”
The old lady groaned angrily, closing her eyes and having an unbearable headache.
Because of this, she didn't see that Sang Nianyue's expression at this time was much more complicated than usual.
Her slender fingers stretched out and clenched, clenched and then stretched out. This shows her inner anxiety, uneasiness, uneasiness and guilt.
Sang Nianyue thought about it again and again, but still didn't know how to comfort the old lady. She had never been good at talking, so she could only say indifferently, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Please be careful, you may not be able to tell the Marquis." Fate lies behind."
"I don't expect him to have any fate. Just don't offend everyone with his outbursts. The Marquis Wu'an Mansion has always been very popular among the powerful, but don't make it because of him. He's annoying, I can't afford to lose that person."
The old lady babbled a few more words, and suddenly remembered Sang Nianyue's adventure at Putuo Temple. She immediately stopped nagging Shen Tingjun, and instead held Sang Ningyue's hand with lingering fear.
"How dangerous it is. If the two bodyguards you hired weren't smart enough to know that they couldn't be defeated, they quickly went up to the mountain to ask for help. Otherwise, if it were later and someone took you to Yu County, would you still be alive by then? "
The old lady had just recovered from her shock, and Sang Nianyue tried her best to smile. In fact, even now, when she recalls the danger of that day, she still feels terrified.
She murmured, "Thanks to Mr. Hou."
"Everything he does is what he should do. He is in charge of Dali Temple. He has to take care of all the injustices in the world, and he should do what he should do to help you. But you girl, why are you so arrogant? You know those people You don’t have good intentions, and you still want to catch everyone in one fell swoop. Don’t think about the fact that if something goes wrong, it will cost you your life.”
Sang Nianyue was wrong in this matter.
It was also her fault for being careless, thinking that it was really Sun Zhu and four scoundrels who were following her. But who would have thought that Wang Xu was impatient and felt that Sun Zhu was not doing well, so she sent eight more people to help. Moreover, these eight people are not ordinary Xiaoxiao, but villains with life-related lawsuits against them. This meant she was saved. Otherwise, those people would have sent her to the Wang Xu family, and what awaited her would have been more than just losing her life.
The old lady complained a lot about Sang Nian Yue, and then scolded Mrs. Wang Xu, "I have never seen such a person as an elder. There is absolutely no reason for such a person." She is completely crazy. Who would deal with such a mother-in-law is really unlucky. I have been suffering from bloody mold for eight lifetimes.
Fortunately, the old lady's mind was spinning quite quickly and she didn't say the last sentence. But when she thought about the mad dog-like Mrs. Wang Xu who was not Sang Nianyue's mother-in-law, the old lady felt pity for Sang Nianyue even more.
No wonder the girl collapsed as soon as she entered the Hou Mansion. At that time, she was still muttering secretly, wondering if the girl was too weak. Now that I think about it, it was his ability to escape from such a mother-in-law, and it was even more lucky that he was not tortured to death by her. With this kind of ability and luck, this girl will never be any different.
It was already noon when Sang Nuanyue came out of the old lady's yard. The old lady originally wanted to keep her for dinner, but the servants next to the third master of clinker sent a message in advance, saying that the third master was unhappy when he saw the old lady, so he went to a newly opened restaurant outside and packed some signature dishes for the old lady to try. , and asked the old lady to wait for him and not start the meal first.
The old lady kept mumbling that her son was "unnecessary", but her face was filled with joy. She invited Sang Nuanyue to have a meal with her, but Sang Nuanyue refused and immediately got up and left Heyan Hall.
It wasn't until Sang Nianyue and his party left that the old lady said to Aunt Cui, "What a wonderful girl, why is she not lucky?"
Aunt Cui chuckled, "A person's destiny is uncertain in this life. Some people are miserable in the first half of their lives, but they may not be able to enjoy wealth when they grow old."
The old lady snorted coldly, "You said you were old. At that time, the loess was buried up to your neck. How many days can you live?"
The old lady was chattering away, her expression alternately bitter and sad. Aunt Cui knew she was feeling sorry for Sang Nuanyue, but...
"Don't worry about it yourself. Miss Sang has decided to have no interest in that person. Otherwise, Miss Sang would not have moved back to Qiangweiyuan the next day after returning home."
Isn't the old lady troubled by this matter?
She took her whole family to Xishan before. When she came back, she felt sleepy and exhausted. It took her two days of rest to catch her breath. Later, because of my son's blind date, I was so busy that I had no time to pay attention to anything else.
During this period, when the old lady was walking in the yard, she heard some gossip from the maids and women.
The center of the topic is the son's Qingke Shiren.
She had seen that Juren more than once. He was handsome in appearance and shy in appearance. Although he was 30 years old, he looked very young.
He is good-looking and values friendship. The first wife stayed with her for so many years, living alone with her widowed mother and daughter.
This is really a good family that is hard to find even with a lantern.
At that time, she murmured privately that she was lucky to be able to marry a woman from such a family, and she would definitely get a royal marriage in the future.
But who would have expected that when I came back from Putuo Temple this time, I heard from the maids that the marriage between the Shi family and the cousin of the Sang family had been blown! The cousin of the Sang family moved back to Qiangweiyuan as soon as she returned home. This made it clear that she wanted to draw a clear line with the Shi family. There was no need to mention marriage or anything like that in the future.
The old lady was confused and asked Aunt Cui, was the Shi family the Shi family she thought she was? Miss Sang's cousin, do you mean Nian Yue? The Shi family and the Sang family intended to get married. When did this happen? Why didn't she know? They also said that their marriage was blown, but why? Was there someone who was causing trouble, or was it all rumors before, and to prevent the rumors from getting too big, he moved back to Rose Garden after a long period of time?
After Granny Cui's explanation, the old lady found out that the Sang family and the Shi family had not discussed marriage. However, the grandma of the Shi family took a fancy to a cousin girl from the Sang family and wanted to recruit her as her daughter-in-law. It's just that Sang Nianyue didn't express his position, but the young master of the Sang family made several trips to the Shi family because he wanted to consult Shi Juren.
As for the marriage between the two families being blown away, there is a reason for that.
The night before Sang Ningyue and others set off to Putuo Temple, a demonic wind came from nowhere in the house. It was spread everywhere that the reason why Sang fell in love with Shi Juren was because she missed her old man - Sang's ex-husband. , is also a Juren, and his appearance is also delicate and elegant. Not only is he somewhat similar in appearance to the Juren, but he even has the same shy and gentle temperament.
This rumor reached Grandma Shi's ears, and she heard that Grandma Shi had been scolding her in the yard for several days. There is no way of knowing who was being scolded, but whenever someone mentioned Miss Sang, Grandma Shi's face turned livid, and she just threw up her sleeves and walked away without any shame. Shi Juren has been in a state of despair these past few days, and his whole body is visibly haggard.
Aunt Cui told the old lady all this, and the old lady angrily scolded those who spread the rumors for their evil intentions, and regretted that such a happy marriage could not take place. She was even moved and suggested that she be a matchmaker for the two families so as to facilitate their marriage. Fortunately, Grandma Cui stopped her, otherwise Sang Nianyue might have to face the old lady's "matchmaking" and "urges" today. Married".
Not to mention how sorry the old lady was, she just said that when they were about to reach the intersection of Qiangweiyuan, Sang Nianyue and Su Xin saw a person standing and wandering there in the distance.
Sang Nuanyue stopped immediately, and it took Suxin a moment to react, "Girl, is that Mr. Shi?"
"It should be him."
"Why did he chase us here? Yesterday, we moved early in the morning. Shi Langjun saw it with his own eyes. He didn't say anything at that time. Now he ran to the intersection to block us. If the maids and ladies of the Hou Mansion saw this, Well, you might be slandering the girl behind your back."
Sang Nianyue said, "You have a mouth to speak to others, so you can say whatever you like. I can walk upright and sit up straight, I have a clear conscience, and I am not afraid of them pointing fingers behind their backs."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Xingzhou seemed to have seen them. He saluted from afar, then stood up straight and silently waited for their master and servant to come forward.
Sang Nuanyue took a deep breath and walked over with Su Xin. When there were still dozens of steps away from Shi Xingzhou, Sang Nianyue stopped and said, "Is Shi Langjun waiting for us?"
Shi Xingzhou nodded.
He has lost a lot of weight visibly in the past few days. He was already thin, and looking at Xiao Su as green as a bamboo, now he gave people the impression of being as skinny and skinny as wood.
It was still the same cyan straight dress that Sang Nianyue wore when she saw him for the first time. It fit him perfectly at that time, but looking at it now, it felt like someone was shaking in the clothes.
He also had messy stubble on his cheeks, making him look haggard, lonely, old and tired.
Sang Nuanyue couldn't bear it and turned her head slightly.
Shi Xingzhou spoke in a hoarse voice, "Miss Sang...can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Sang Nuanyue wanted to nod, but in the end she had to harden her heart and said, "I have nothing to say to others. If Shi Langjun has anything to say, you can say it clearly." Then she pointed to Su Xin, "This is my personal maid, my business. She knows it all.”
Shi Xingzhou was rejected, and the smile on his face became more bitter. But a man should be able to put it down even if he can afford it.
Originally, he was stuck in wishful thinking and was so hot-headed that he didn't even notice Miss Sang's avoidance and refusal.
But rumors had been rampant these days, and he was devastated. He couldn't sleep all night. At that time, he couldn't help but think about all the appearances of Miss Sang in front of him.
She hardly smiled and always lowered her head to avoid his gaze. Even if she had forced eye contact, she was always cold and restrained. There was no reverie or shyness in those peach blossom eyes, but they were completely indifferent and resistant.
Shi Xingzhou is not stupid or stupid, he just doesn't want to face reality.
Now that he was woken up by reality, even if he didn't want to admit that Sang Nianyue had no intention of him, he still couldn't.
He was depressed, frustrated, wanted to give up on himself, and wanted to ask her what was wrong with him. But in the end, thousands of words turned into just one sentence, "Are I really similar to...?"
This question made him lose face. Shi Xingzhou covered his eyes with one hand, and suddenly felt that the virtues and cultivation of a gentleman over the past decades had collapsed in this moment.
He couldn't pass this level after all.
This seemed to humiliate him.
Sang Nuanyue was suddenly shocked and looked up to see Shi Xingzhou's dejected look.
She paused on the spot, as if thinking about someone. But that person was no longer clear in her mind, and she almost couldn't even remember what he looked like.
After a long time, Sang Nianyue replied, "No, you...are not alike at all."
Wang Wenju's facial features were mediocre and his appearance was not outstanding, but his brows were clear and picturesque, and when he smiled, his body was filled with warmth. And he has a cheerful temperament, smiles first when meeting people, treats people with sincerity at all times, and is gentle and approachable.
This is also Wang Xu's most caring son.
Unlike other families where the second child is a piece of grass, in the Wang family, the second child is Wang Xu's darling.
It was also because of this that after Wang Wenju drowned, Wang Xu abused her like a demon.
On the one hand, she was worried about her son being lonely and wanted Sang Nianyue to accompany him; but on the other hand, she was worried that Wang Wenju would blame her as a mother for not being able to take care of her son's widow, so Wang Xu wanted her to live.
Mrs. Wang Xu lived in struggle and pain, and Sang Nianyue was tortured to the point of becoming inhuman.
She hadn't thought about him for a long time, but when she recalled it, Sang Nianyue was confused and her eyes were slightly red.
She lowered her head slightly, hiding her true emotions. Looking up again, all the sadness in his body was completely covered up.
Sang Nianyue looked at Shi Xingzhou and said apologetically, "These days have disturbed my husband. Qing'er will not be able to be educated under my husband's knees in the future... I hope that my husband will be ranked first in the imperial examination and high school in the future, and his official career will be prosperous and he will rise to the top."
Shi Xingzhou left in despair. Suxin tugged on Sang Nuanyue's sleeve and said, "Girl, it's a done deal. Don't look at it. Let's go back and have dinner."
Sang Nuanyue nodded and followed Su Xin in the direction of Qiangweiyuan and said, "It's ultimately my fault. If I could refuse Grandma Shi's intentions when I noticed..."
"Miss, did you not refuse? How many times have you refused openly or covertly, but Grandma Shi didn't take it seriously at all."
"But later, if I had made it clear that I had no intention of remarrying when I saw Shi Xingzhou, things would not have gotten to this point."
Su Xin asked, "Then how are you going to point it out? Why did you point it out for no reason? Are you afraid that Shi Langjun doesn't know that you are a hottie? Maybe Shi Langjun didn't have that thought at that time. If you say this out of the blue, Mr. Shi might think you are crazy."
Sang Nuanyue glared at Su Xin, "Don't make fun of me here... After all, it's all my indecisive fault that things have ended up like this."
Seeing that the girl was blaming herself, Su Xin blamed herself for all the mistakes. But what to say about this matter? The girl only met Mr. Shi three or four times in total.
They all noticed that Shi Langjun was interested in the girl, but the other party didn't make it clear, so they could only deal with it coldly.
But who could have expected that not only did the Shi family not give up, but Grandma Shi became more and more courageous.
It was also Master Qing'er who asked Shi Langjun for advice. The girl felt that since she had taken advantage of others, she could not harm others anymore, so she felt even more guilty and insisted on moving back to Rose Garden.
It doesn't matter if this matter is handled in such a cold manner. If we stay far away, no matter how hot the relationship is, it will cool down. But who could have expected that suddenly a demonic wind came, saying that Shi Langjun looked like his deceased uncle.
Isn't this insulting?
Su Xin muttered, "If you ask me, this matter is not the girl's fault, nor the Shi family's fault. The fault lies with the person who spreads the rumors with ill intentions. Why do Shi Langjun and my uncle look the same?" It was carved out of a mold, and some people believe this nonsense? Girl, in the entire Hou Mansion, only my cousin and her maid have met my uncle. If you say that this matter has nothing to do with your cousin, I won’t believe it even to death."
Sang Nuanyue was about to say to Su Xin, "Don't stay alive all the time, it's unlucky." But before she could say anything, she suddenly heard "cousin."
That voice was so familiar, with a hoarse magnetism and indifference. Listening to it, you can tell how cold and unfeeling the person is. Being named by such a big shot will definitely make you feel flustered and your scalp will be numb.
Sang Nuanyue was also flustered and her scalp was numb. Not only that, her hands and feet were weak and helpless.
But it's not because of fear, but an indescribable emotion. That feeling made her whole body soft and she could not suppress the shivers in her bones.
Sang Nuanyue paused in place, not wanting to look back.
Su Xin, who was chirping and jumping just now, was like a poor cat whose throat was choked by fate. Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was wide open. Her face was full of shock and fear, and she couldn't say a word in fear.
Sang Nuanyue could easily read what Su Xin wanted to say from her expression - when did the Marquis show up? Did he also see Shi Juren just now? Did he hear the conversation between the girl and the perpetrator?
For some reason, when she thought that Shen Tingjun saw Shi Xingzhou here, and perhaps heard her conversation with Shi Xingzhou, Sang Nianyue became more and more confused, and she also felt guilty and short of breath.
But it shouldn't be, everything she does is aboveboard.
Just like what she just said to Shi Xingzhou, there is nothing she can't say to anyone.
So, what if the Marquis knows?
She didn't hang Shi Xingzhou on purpose. She and Shi Xingzhou were innocent, and those rumors were all misunderstandings.
After thinking about this, Sang Nianyue felt more confident.
