"Early in the morning the day before yesterday, I went to see Madam Bo again." Mrs. Yao said, "I know that my sister-in-law received an invitation from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and asked you to go to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to celebrate the wedding of the second lady. My sister-in-law brought you I went with my three younger siblings, but they didn’t ask me.”
Yao stared at Ruan, as if staring like this would make Ruan feel guilty.
Ruan didn't feel guilty at all. She was about to speak when she heard Yao say again: "The invitation is for you, sister-in-law. You can take whomever you want to take. Sister-in-law, I am not a brainless person, so I will go." I found Mrs. Bo and hoped that she would let you take me to the Zhenguogong Mansion, but she didn’t see me. I know that you, sister-in-law, will be uncomfortable hearing what I did, but I came here today to confess everything. I hope my sister-in-law can help me. I am a poor mother who has lost her biological daughter for more than ten years and finally found her but cannot recognize her. Please help me."
Yao said, suddenly stood up, walked to Ruan's side in a few steps, sat on the chair next to her, leaned towards Ruan's body, and held Ruan's hands tightly with both hands.
Ruan was startled by her sudden and fast movement. She subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but she tried hard, but she didn't.
"Mom, second aunt!"
"First aunt, second aunt!"
Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen appeared at this time.
Geng Xingshuang always asked Jinbao to pay attention to the movements in the main room, and asked her to call him if she found something was wrong.
Jinbao felt that the second wife was about to pounce on the eldest wife, something must be wrong.
Ruan finally withdrew her hand. She was about to stand up and stay away from Yao when she saw Yao immediately sitting up straight, picking up the handkerchief and gently wiping the corners of his eyes.
"Sister-in-law, I... I feel really uncomfortable. Did I just... scare you?"
Ruan ignored her, waved to Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen, and asked, "It's so late and you haven't slept yet?"
Geng Xingshuang said: "I was about to go to bed, but when we heard that there seemed to be some movement in my mother's place, we felt uneasy, so we came over to take a look, and then we realized that the second aunt was here."
Mrs. Yao showed an extremely ugly smile to Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen, "Sister Shuang, Second Aunt knows that you have a good relationship with the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace. Can you do Second Aunt a favor?"
Before Geng Xingshuang could answer, Mrs. Ruan had already said: "Second brother and sister, Sister Shuang is just a girl who has not left the court. How can she help you?"
"Sister-in-law, Sister Shuang is very capable. She is truly capable, unlike Geng Xingbing, ha..."
This word "ha" shows coldness and alienation, even disdain.
"I don't ask for anything else. Although the second girl is not a bloodline of the Zhenguo Palace, the Zhenguo Palace recognizes her and wants to be her natal family. They are comfortable. The biological ones have gone back, and the adopted ones have also recognized her. As my mother-in-law, they only let me...let me..."
As he spoke, Yao's eyes turned red again.
"Brother Lou's father has gone. Brother Lou has also been sent to the North. I don't know when he will come back. Geng Xingbing...she should have known about her life experience for a long time. Since last year, her attitude towards me has changed. It has gradually changed. Although Yueniang is back now, she has too much time to take care of herself. Our house is like a house without a backbone and can collapse at any time. The only people I can rely on now are you, my sister-in-law."
"Second Aunt, my grandparents are still here!" Geng Xingshuang reminded.
Mrs. Yao looked at Geng Xingshuang, "Uncle and Mrs. Uncle...after your second uncle left and your eldest brother went to Beidi, they never took care of our second room, sister-in-law, Sister Shuang, and Sister Chen." , I don’t ask for anything else, I just want to see Zhu Ni, that... that is my biological daughter after all, I just want to see her, maybe... maybe she is also willing to see me, just like me, It’s a pity that we don’t have a chance to meet.”
Yao looked at Geng Xingshuang expectantly.
Geng Xingshuang said helplessly: "Second Aunt, although I have a good relationship with Miss Zhu, I haven't had much dealings with Miss Zhu. Besides, she doesn't live in the Zhenguo Palace now."
Mrs. Yao showed a disappointed look and opened her mouth. She wanted to plead again, but Geng Xingshuang said again: "Actually, today is the day when Zhu Ni comes back on the third day. If the second aunt really wants to see Zhu Ni, she can go The only road from Dingguo Palace to Zhenguo Palace is waiting for you. If Zhu Ni is willing to see you, he will naturally get off the carriage and meet you."
Yao was stunned for a moment, and then a look of regret appeared on his face, as if he was annoyed that he had not thought of this method and missed the opportunity to see Zhu Ni.
"But...she must have returned to Duke Ding's mansion now."
At this time, it was natural to go back.
Geng Xingshuang thought for a while and said: "Second aunt, don't worry, Zhu Ni will always go back to her parents' home. The next time she goes back to her parents' home, I will ask Miss Zhu to tell me. You can just find a chance to see her on the road again." "
In other words, she still had to run to the road and get stuck in traffic.
Yao's face was stiff and she wanted to say a few more words, but Geng Xingshuang said: "Second Aunt, that's all I can help. If you don't need it, forget it."
Ruan also said: "Second brother and sister, if you are not satisfied with this method, why not go to Prince Ping's Mansion to find the fourth aunt's grandma, she should have a solution."
Yao had never thought of this method, but for some reason, whenever she thought of going to Geng Xingbing, she could immediately think of Geng Xingbing's cold face, and she could even predict what kind of words she would use to reject her.
Why bother with that?
"Thank you very much, Sister Shuang."
Yao came over at night, not wanting Geng Xun to know about it, but Geng Xun still found out.
Geng Xingshuang didn't know if Geng Xun said anything to Yao, but at noon the next day, Geng Xing unexpectedly called Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen to come over for lunch together.
"Sixth sister, you guessed it right!"
On the way to Yideyuan, Geng Xingchen said with admiration.
Last night, after Yao left, Geng Xingchen asked Geng Xingshuang why he agreed to help Yao. After all, the second wife had not been kind to them when she was in power.
Geng Xingshuang's answer at the time was that because Geng Xun didn't want Yao to see Zhu Ni, she wanted to help Yao.
After she said that, Ruan and Geng Xingchen did not react for a while.
But gradually, the two of them understood what she meant.
"I think grandpa will come looking for us." Geng Xingshuang guessed last night.
"Sixth sister, tell me, if the fourth sister suddenly falls out of favor, or makes some mistakes and is punished by Prince Ping, what will my grandfather do?"
Geng Xingchen asked languidly.
Geng Xingshuang glanced at her, "Didn't you already guess it?"
When the two of them arrived at Yideyuan, food was already placed on the table. The dishes were exquisite and not the skills of the chefs in the mansion.
"I heard that you like the food at Ruyilou. I sent someone to buy it from Ruyilou." Geng Xun gently greeted the two of them to eat.
"But grandpa, the cook we like is no longer in Ruyilou."
Geng Xingchen said and blinked at Geng Xingshuang. Geng Xingshuang smiled slightly and said: "Grandpa probably doesn't know. After all, he has been living in retirement for a long time and has ignored everything. He is like a wild crane in idle clouds. Seventh sister, we have to do it too." Only by learning from your grandfather can you live an open-minded and comfortable life.”
Geng Xun felt that these words sounded like they were mocking him.
But he couldn't find any evidence.
During the meal, Geng Xun said nothing else and only asked the servants to help them prepare the dishes, as if they were his granddaughters whom he had always loved.
