The car stopped under the palace wall not far from the West Palace Gate.
Lin Yunyan did not get out of the car immediately.
Little Duan didn't move either. She hadn't recovered yet. If she took one step, her feet might be weak.
Grandma Ma went down first, put on the pedals, and stood aside to wait respectfully.
"Gonggong Xu's Mansion is pressing forward step by step. If we let them round and flatten them at will, not only will the eldest sister suffer, but our uncle's family will also be embarrassed." Lin Yunyan comforted the little Duan in a soft voice, "Now that we can draw a clear line with his family, You should be happy."
How could Xiao Duan not understand this? She was just angry.
Xu Guogong's mansion has also been very prosperous in recent years since the beginning of the dynasty. How could such a family do such a shameless thing?
If you put all your efforts into raising children, even if there are one or two who are disobedient and do naughty things, the little Duan can understand it, but their family is obviously in a crooked way.
"There's not even a trace of dignity left!" Xiao Duan commented.
"You are just thinking about respect," Lin Yunyan sighed, "If I talk about respect with his family, we will all be eaten until no bones are left."
Xiao Duan looked at her in surprise.
"Such a scandal happened to Su Ke. If they didn't force the eldest sister, how could they still find a girl of the right family?" Lin Yunyan directly pointed out, "They are really unscrupulous and too eager for quick success and quick success, so even Shan Fuyin can't stand it.
Why do you think those watching the excitement scolded Su Ke and Xu Guogong's government for being shameless? I gave you money!
Anyone who says, "The prodigal son will never be replaced by gold" will be blocked, and anyone who says, "You must be merciful and spare others" will be scolded.
The voice must be louder than the one in Xu Guogong's mansion. As long as the voice is loud enough and confident enough, the grass on the wall can be blown over. "
Xiao Duan:...
Lin Yunyan leaned forward and looked directly into Xiao Duan's eyes: "When we get to Cining Palace, you can't lose to Mrs. Xu Guogong."
Xiao Duan was thin-skinned. He would definitely not shake his head when Lin Yunyan stared at her like this, so he finally nodded.
After calming down, the two got out of the car.
A sedan was prepared at the palace gate, and they went all the way to Cining Palace.
Lin Yunyan closed her eyes and rested her mind.
These events were too sudden and unexpected for my grandmother, and she probably has not yet fully accepted them.
It would also be a good idea to let her come directly to see the Queen Mother.
Grandma would brace herself up and deal with the situation at hand with all her strength. Naturally, she had no time to think about the "excessive bullying" of Xu Guogong's mansion.
When the engagement is broken off, the bridge returns to the bridge, the road returns to the road, my grandmother will reflect on it afterwards, and the taste will be different.
It would not be like before, when General Xu Guogong's mansion choked him with a breath, unable to get up or down, and made him sick from anger.
Xiao Duan sat upright, thinking about these things in his mind.
Lin Yunyan's serious gaze was still reflected in front of her eyes. She was more concerned about what Yunyan said and did than what Xu Guogong's government did at the moment...
After thinking about it like this, an idea came to me.
Does the "black hand" that Duke Xu's government is looking for have anything to do with Yun Yan?
The family went to escape the summer heat, but something happened to Su Ke. If Yun Yan only found out about the incident when the Su family blocked the door, how could she have blown the wind back in just a few days, and had no trace of anything from the beginning to the end? Discuss with yourself?
Either Yun Yan took the initiative to plot, or she got advice from an expert.
The sedan stopped, and little Duan got down and looked at the door of Cining Palace.
No matter which way it is, her little Duan must be an old lady taking refuge in Xu Guogong's mansion, not an old lady who has been kept in the dark and didn't know about the situation until just now.
Grandfather and grandson entered the inner hall and saluted the Empress Dowager.
"Excuse me for bothering you," said little Duan, who was so embarrassed, "but I'm also blaming your ears with those nonsense things, eh!"
Mrs. Xu Guogong, who was waiting outside the palace, was also summoned.
As soon as she entered the hall, she heard Xiao Duan's words. She stopped in her tracks and froze on the spot.
The mess is her son, why is little Duan so embarrassed there?
This old lady has set such a high tone. When she meets the Empress Dowager, is the first thing she should do is to kneel down and apologize?
The Queen Mother caught a glimpse of her and said calmly: "Coming?"
Hearing this chilling tone, Mrs. Xu Guogong did not dare to hesitate any longer. She took two steps forward, knelt down, kowtowed and apologized: "My wife and my husband are not good at raising their children, so please forgive me the Queen Mother."
The empress dowager was not interested in being punished and motioned for her to stand up: "The Ai family will bear witness. You two can talk directly."
After breaking off the relationship in Cining Palace, naturally she couldn't throw Geng Tie over and pull her down. Mrs. Xu Guogong could only force herself to smile and talk to little Duan.
"Ke'er did something wrong. Your family doesn't want to get married, and we understand it very well."
Following her usual habit, little Duan was about to smile in agreement when she saw Lin Yunyan blinking at her with the words "Don't lose" written on her face.
A smile froze at the corner of her lips. Xiao Duan was silent for a while, and then she said a dry sentence: "It would be great if you really understand, then I would feel relieved."
Mrs. Xu Guogong was stunned.
In all these years, has anyone seen Xiao Duan’s cold face?
Anyway, Mrs. Xu Guogong has never seen it, let alone heard of it.
But now, there was no other way but to put her hot face on her. Even if she knew that she was smiling very reluctantly, she still had to smile.
Fortunately, there is no need to smile heartily, just chatting. She said: "It turns out that I sincerely want to get married. I really like Yun Jing. It's a pity that I don't have the fate of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with her."
This time, Lin Yunyan didn't need to look at her to remind her, and Xiao Duan's response was much slower.
After thinking deeply for a while, she said: "We are sincerely breaking off our relationship. Without this fate, you would still not like us, Yun Jing."
How can I continue to talk about Mrs. Xu Guogong's scene?
"I brought the Geng Post." She stopped trying to save face and handed the post to the Empress Dowager with both hands, "Please take a look at it."
Grandma Wang took it.
The Empress Dowager nodded after reading it, and then asked Xiao Duan: "What about her boy's share?"
"I didn't take it with me when I came directly from Zhuangzi to the palace. When I return home, I will send it to Duke Xu's mansion together with Dingli." After Xiao Duan finished speaking, he added, "According to the gift list, I can't believe it." There will be a shortage.”
The Empress Dowager said: "Of course the Ai family can rest assured when you do things."
As she spoke, her eyes moved from Mrs. Duan to Mrs. Xu Guogong.
Sharp and deep, full of warning.
Mrs. Xu Guogong lowered her eyes and did not dare to make any mistakes.
After the matter was settled, the Empress Dowager left no one behind and signaled them all to retreat.
Lin Yunyan helped Xiao Duan out.
Xiao Duan looked around and said in a low voice: "I have never spoken like this in my life. I feel uncomfortable all over."
Lin Yunyan burst into laughter.
Grandma was very old and walking on an unfamiliar road for the first time. Her feet were very sprained, so she walked straight.
Every sentence was true, highlighting one sincerity, but it made Mrs. Xu Guogong unable to cope with it.
"It's okay," Lin Yunyan said, "Say it a few more times and you'll feel at ease."
