"This must be Marquis Zhenyuan who came back from the border."
Cuicui stretched her neck and looked forward, "If Madam had arrived earlier, we could have seen what he looks like."
Shen Qingluan remained calm.
She has a photographic memory. She has seen Jun Chengsong several times in her previous life, so she will not forget it.
In terms of appearance, Jun Chengsong and his nephew Jun Hongbai are somewhat similar in outline, but their eyes and the temperament exuding from their bodies are completely different.
Jun Chengsong's eyes were gloomy and fierce, with a trace of cruelty that could sink the boat, making people feel as if they were drowning in a pool of stagnant water, making it difficult to breathe.
In the previous life, Shen Qingluan only thought that this second uncle was too difficult to get along with, but now that he thinks about it...
The Marquis Mansion of Zhenyuan seems to be grand and elegant, but there is a rude and powerful stepmother in the palace, a nephew who covets his title, and a code of ethics and filial piety that exceeds that of the emperor. How can he, an upright military commander, not be able to deal with it.
He should be walking on thin ice every day, so it's not surprising that he has such a gloomy and silent temperament.
The moment she was distracted, Cuicui patted her chest again and whispered in her ear:
"He can be so frivolous and uninhibited at the gate of the elders' courtyard. He is not easy to deal with. Let's come later tomorrow to avoid encountering a dispute between mother and son. Madam, which one are you helping?"
The tips of Shen Qingluan's ears twitched.
Mother and son quarrel?
History books say that wherever there are disputes since ancient times, there are always interests to be pursued.
There was no chance that she and Jun Chengsong would get together.
It seems that tomorrow, I will come to Fushouyuan early.
Shen Qingluan quickened his pace, and just as he was walking to the door, he heard an old voice inside filled with anger: "Get him out of the Marquis' Mansion, you unfilial son! I don't need him to serve me like an old man!"
Shen Qingluan's heart skipped a beat.
broken.
Lu Ming must have been taught by the bastard Jun Hongbai for a long time, and with Shen Qingluan as a mallet who could hit wherever he wanted, pretentiousness had become an instinct engraved in his bones.
Who did she think she was scolding? Are they ordinary descendants?
She was scolding the owner of the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, and she was chasing a distinguished and meritorious official in the court!
After having been domineering and domineering for so long, he actually regarded all the men in the world as weak and incompetent like Jun Hongbai.
Just wait, today's words are not just ordinary parents scolding their children and grandchildren, they will definitely cause quite a stir in the capital.
Shen Qingluan felt something strange in his heart.
Jun Chengsong in his previous life was violent but direct, which was very different from his behavior in this life, and gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
Shen Qingluan wanted to investigate in detail, but he had no choice but to spend too little time with Jun Chengsong, so he finally gave up in frustration.
Several people entered the Fushou Hall. This time, Mr. Lu did not refuse the request of Shen Qingluan and others. Shen Qingluan was finally able to see Ms. Lu after many days.
This sight shocked her.
In just a short period of time, Mr. Lu seemed to have aged ten years!
Her originally dark hair exuded fine white strands, and the ends of her eyes were covered with fine lines.
Shen Qingluan only glanced briefly and then looked away.
Jun Qian and Du Mianmian stared at Mr. Lu in disbelief, their mouths open as if they could eat an egg.
Mr. Lu originally wanted to bring bad luck to Shen Qingluan, but when he saw these two idiots, he couldn't help but divert his anger.
"What are you looking at? Are you looking at when I will die?"
Lu's voice was so rough that it seemed as if it had come out of the underworld. Jun Qian and Du Mianmian were frightened by her old appearance.
Hearing this, he became even more timid and hurriedly knelt down and said he didn't dare.
Mrs. Lu didn't even look at the two of them, and just let them kneel like this in the room, staring at Shen Qingluan with sharp and cloudy eyes, "Granddaughter-in-law, you are enjoying yourself these days."
After saying that, she waited for Shen Qingluan to plead guilty, just like Jun Qian and Du Mianmian.
She couldn't afford to offend Jun Chengsong in this huge Houfu, and she couldn't bear to teach Jun Hongbai and Jun Qian, so Shen Qingluan could be her punching bag.
She had been so angry and depressed from Jun Chengsong's place. She hadn't let it out in the past few days, but she had to let it out today!
Shen Qingluan had been with her for many years, and he could tell just by looking at her when she lifted her legs that she was going to hold back something bad.
If in the previous life, Shen Qingluan was deeply educated in filial piety and Confucianism. He would respect her as an elder and just take advantage of her once or twice, just to keep the family happy.
Now.
Shen Qingluan calmly straightened the large skirt of her clothes, "Grandma probably doesn't know how to deal with things when she's not a householder. My grandson-in-law has to take care of the general affairs of the house, and she has to discipline two children with no talent, and she also has to take care of two delicate concubines for the uncle. , which can not be said to be enjoyable.
If she didn't have the word "responsibility" in her heart, why wouldn't her granddaughter-in-law not want to be sick and live in peace and quiet? "
"Shen Qingluan!"
Mrs. Lu was so angry at these unscrupulous words that her ears were filled with smoke. She hammered her chest with one hand and slapped the mistress on the bed with the other hand, shouting angrily.
He only yelled once but it was followed by a series of violent coughs.
Jun Qian and Du Mianmian both shrank in shock, and both glanced at Shen Qingluan from the corner of their eyes, eager to see her tremblingly kowtow to beg for mercy.
However, Shen Qingluan calmly picked up the teacup beside him, picked up the lid and took a sip, then frowned slightly and put the teacup down again.
Then he sat still as if nothing happened, listening carefully to see when Mr. Lu would finish coughing.
Jun Qian and Du Mianmian felt a burst of anger mixed with sourness, spreading from their chests to their brains, making their eyes turn red.
Shen Qingluan, this bitch, why can she be so showy, why can she be so elegant, why can she still stand when they are kneeling!
After Mrs. Lu finished coughing, when she saw Shen Qingluan's appearance, she was so angry that her head ached. She pointed at her and said angrily:
"You unfilial and dishonest scoundrel, is this how your Shen family teaches their daughter? She has taught her to be so sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. I want to go to the Shen family to ask questions!"
Shen Qingluan turned his head and smiled, which seemed to be sarcasm, but also seemed to mean nothing.
Her mind was clearer than ever.
People always get rid of the anger and grievance after being scolded, and then they regret why they didn't respond well.
Shen Qingluan didn't have this kind of trouble, because he had too many accusations like this in his past life.
So much so that she had already figured out how to respond.
She stroked her temples with her hands and said slowly: "Grandma wants to write a letter to the Shen family. Of course Qingluan can't stop her, but I don't know what grandma wants to write?"
Lu's brain shrank for a moment.
Why did Shen Qingluan react like this? Isn't she afraid?
What to write about?
She racked her brains and thought, and after a moment she said in a deep voice: "You are unfilial to your elders!"
Shen Qingluan pretended to be stunned and said slowly: "It turns out that it is unfilial to take care of the common affairs in Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, to educate children is unfilial, to take care of concubines is unfilial, and to say anything directly is unfilial.
My Shen family's family motto is to be loyal, upright, trustworthy and righteous. Unexpectedly, the Jun family does the opposite, adopting laziness, slander, flattery and envy, and being mean and unkind.
Forgive Qingluan for being incompetent and unable to learn from the Jun family's tutoring. When my grandmother wrote a letter back to the Shen family, why not ask Haosheng if the Shen family's tutoring can teach the Jun family? "
She smiled leisurely, like a peony in full bloom, indescribably beautiful.
In Lu's eyes, it was a demon demanding life, which made her almost unable to breathe.
Jun Cheng was so angry that his chest, which was already clogged, suddenly hurt even more.
"you you you!"
Shen Qingluan raised his eyebrows and listened attentively.
Du Mianmian, who was kneeling on the ground, listened to the two people going back and forth. An idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly straightened up and said angrily:
"How can Madam speak to the old lady like this? As the saying goes, old children are old children. The older the elderly are, the younger ones should be more obedient. If you say something to the old lady and you reply three or four times, how can you act like a junior? Got it!"
Lu's half-blocked chest finally breathed some air.
She said "ho" loudly, and said in a clear voice: "It turns out to be Mianmian. I'm sorry that I haven't been able to see you these days because I'm sick. You are Wen Niang's sister, and you are related to Hongbai.
Now that we have this new relationship, we should get closer in the future, and you should come to Fushou Hall more often. "
Du Mianmian was so excited that her fingers trembled.
After being depressed for so many days, she finally found a chance!
ha! You Shen Qingluan, you think you can cover the sky with just one hand in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, yet you dare to be so rude to the old lady.
Little did they know that although Mr. Lu was old, he was an unshakable support in the inner house.
Du Mianmian knelt down and walked a few steps to Mrs. Lu, and raised her head with tears in her eyes: "I always admired the old lady when I was in the boudoir, but now that I am my concubine, I love the old lady as my elder.
As long as the old lady doesn't dislike her, I am willing to serve the old lady every day, even if I am a cow or a horse. "
Mrs. Lu's face was moved for a moment, and she personally reached out to take Du Mianmian's hand and patted it twice, "Good boy, you are just like Wen Niang. Although you don't have the ability to speak clearly, the more you say it like this, the more sincere it is."
Cuicui rolled her eyes angrily.
Who is this talking about?
If she has no future, if she has the ability, she can tell her wife openly and honestly, and see if she can defeat them!
Shen Qingluan watched this scene with amusement.
Jun Qian and others thought she was scared, or regretted that she should not have spoken arrogantly to Mr. Lu.
Little did he know that Shen Qingluan was laughing so much that he fell down.
How could she not laugh!
In the previous life, Lu and Du Mianmian were enemies who could not stand each other.
It is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, but this statement also applies to Lu and Du Mianmian, the grandson-in-law with a shady reputation.
This is because Mrs. Lu hates Du Wenniang, and even more hates Du Mianmian who looks similar to Du Wenniang.
Du Mianmian, on the other hand, was arrogant and resented that Mr. Lu would always point fingers at her because of her elders' reputation. Whenever the two of them met, they would criticize her and choke on her words.
And every time Shen Qingluan intervened, she ended up being unlucky at both ends, and even had to be scolded by Jun Hongbai for stirring up trouble.
Unexpectedly, the two of them would act like a family now, but I don't know whether they are really as harmonious in their hearts as they show, or are they suppressing their disgust and disgust?
But Shen Qingluan got it right.
At this moment, both Lu and Du Mianmian felt nauseated and sad in their hearts.
Mr. Lu hated that Du Mianmian was a cheap concubine, and a low-class merchant girl dared to marry her.
However, Du Mianmian disliked Lu's old face and old hands, and even touched the back of her hand.
Just to fight against Shen Qingluan, the two of them had to suppress their disgust and act out an intimate drama with each other.
Du Mianmian cried a few more times, then turned to look at Shen Qingluan, "Madam, I respect your moral character and that's why I am willing to follow you, but you treat your elders like this, I really can't turn a blind eye.
Even at the risk of angering you today, I have to say this fair thing, you are indeed wrong! "
Shen Qingluan looked at her and smiled without saying a word.
