Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 24 Old Mrs. Shen's Advice
After lunch, the old lady of the Wang family and her little grandson left the house.

During this period, Ye Lingwu stayed in the dormitory, feeling very happy and at ease. She was about to go back to the bed for a nap, but she didn't want Rongxiu to knock on the door suddenly, saying that it was Jiang Lanshu who made the old lady Shen angry, and asked her to go to the main room to have a look.

Naturally, Ye Lingwu couldn't go there empty-handed, so she walked around the small kitchen, brought a bowl of hot soy cheese, and before she stepped into the main room, she heard a choking sound from inside.

"Old lady, I just want to stay by your side. Regardless of whether the Wang family is good or bad, Lan Shu just wants to serve you by your side and won't go anywhere!"

"Lan Shu, you will be sixteen this year. You are the only daughter of my mother's sister. How could I keep you by my side!"

Listening to Mrs. Shen's slightly excited tone, one can imagine how stiff the atmosphere inside was.

Jiang Lanshu kept crying, "But Lan Shu doesn't like that Uncle Wang, even if she can stay in the capital after marrying the Wang family, Lan Shu doesn't want to marry."

When Ye Lingwu heard the cry, she almost recited it.

In a trance, she seemed to return to that dream again, her heart seemed to be pinched by a pair of invisible hands.

After a while, Ye Lingwu took a deep breath, walked in boldly, pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Old lady, the hot sour cheese in the small kitchen is ready, you can try it!"

The room suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Lanshu knelt beside Mrs. Shen's legs, sobbing in a low voice, but Mrs. Shen turned her face away and didn't look at Jiang Lanshu, who was already in tears. Her complexion was extremely ugly.

Ye Lingwu lightly put the hot soy sauce on the table, and was about to leave when old lady Shen suddenly said, "Since you're here, why did you leave without saying a word?"

Ye Lingwu turned around and said in a low voice: "Go back to the old lady, just now the envoy told me that you are angry, I just wanted to serve you a bowl of hot soy cheese to taste it, I don't think you are doing it for Lan Shu I'm angry about my sister's marriage, and it's a matter of Lan Shu's life, so it's hard for me to speak up."

Old Mrs. Shen picked up the hot soy cheese, and put down the bowl heavily before reaching her mouth. With a bang, Ye Lingwu and Jiang Lanshu trembled in fright.

After all, she was a female general who had led the army and fought in battles. Although Mrs. Shen's face was ugly, what made people even more fearful was the awe she had on her body.

After a while, Mrs. Shen sighed and said earnestly: "In that case, let me make it clear."

Old lady Shen raised her eyes and gave Ye Lingwu a wink, "Sit down and listen together, and don't have any wrong thoughts in the future."

Ye Lingwu didn't dare to answer, fearing that she would offend Mrs. Shen and make Jiang Lanshu feel unhappy with a word, so she just nodded and sat down peacefully.

"Old lady, although I am old, my eyes are not blind and my ears are not deaf. I know how many people in the capital are thinking about the boat, but I will put my words here today. Whether you really want to accompany me or not, this Ningbei Even the Hou Mansion will not be your final destination."

Ye Lingwu paused for a moment, raised her eyes calmly, and then lowered her eyes lightly.

Whether it's the mother, the Wang family, or the poor scholar mentioned in "she" in the dream, it is the best to marry in the heart of old lady Shen.

But it's fine to tell anyone about it, and it's unnecessary to tell her. Ever since she entered Ningbei Hou's Mansion, she never thought about being able to climb the high branch surnamed Shen.

It's their business that other people like it, Ye Lingwu can't eat this sweet pastry at all.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingwu only felt that it would be better to stay away from the boys of the Hou family in the future, so as not to be misunderstood.

Jiang Lanshu, who had been exposed, cried again, "Old lady, Lan Shu knows that she is not good enough for Lord Hou, but... But Lan Shu is willing to be a concubine."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Shen interrupted in a cold voice, holding her forehead in anger, not knowing what to say.

After a long time, Mrs. Shen said: "You are a child of the Jiang family. I brought you up by my side, just because I was afraid that you would follow the family..." She paused, then continued, "Do you know what to do?" The concubine's difficulties, how many people will stare at her!"

Jiang Lanshu lowered her head, probably willing to endure hardships, and cried softly: "As long as you can marry someone you like, even if you are blinded by others, Lanshu will recognize you, old lady, I beg you, Lanshu, please, you Just because I have served you for so many years, please help Lan Shu!"

"I will fulfill you?" The old lady Shen frowned, "How can I fulfill you? Even the little princess of the Shunchang Palace doesn't look down on that boy Wanzhou, let alone you? Let alone him, I just want to make you happy." If you force it, his mother, Princess Jiayi, will agree?"

Jiang Lanshu froze for a moment, her face ashen.

Ye Lingwu couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but said: "Sister Lanshu has a good family background and good character, she is a person who can be a decent lady. Although the Wang family has just entered the capital, the family background is meager, but I look at the second brother of the Wang family. He is very honest, and his brother will definitely not be needed in the future."

At least better than thinking about being a concubine.

Jiang Lanshu wiped away tears, choked up and said, "Since sister Lingwu thinks that the second brother of the Wang family is good, why not wait until next year when you Jiji get engaged to him?"

Ye Lingwu paused for a moment, then smiled suddenly: "That's good, the old lady of the Wang family is a straightforward person, the second brother of the Wang family is good-looking, and his elder brother was promoted to an official position at a young age, so parents who can teach such a son , presumably there is always nothing wrong with dealing with people."

Jiang Lanshu clenched her hands into fists and gradually tightened them, a string in her head cracked, she snorted coldly: "Sister Lingwu is standing up and talking without pain in her back, you clearly know in your heart how much the old lady loves you, that's why you said such a thing The remarks."

"..."

She said this seriously.

In the future, when you get married, you can't just depend on whether you like it or not. It's good to live a good life.

What's so good about marrying into Ningbeihoufu?I can only hold back when I am wronged, and I will be bound by the word "love" for the next few decades. Now I feel good but I haven't really suffered.

Old Mrs. Shen took a breath and said, "You will say that your sister Lingwu is not, but I think she can see it more clearly than you."

Jiang Lanshu said aggrievedly: "I didn't mean that, I just... I was a little out of proportion just now, please don't take what my sister just said to heart, and don't be angry."

How dare Ye Lingwu be angry, she is struggling in this room now, it is better not to speak.

Not long after, Mrs. Shen waved the two of them down, leaving the marriage aside.

Ye Lingwu supported Jiang Lanshu and limped out of the house.

I don't know if it was intentional to avoid suspicion, but as soon as the two of them stepped out of the main room, Mother Xuan, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, appeared. Seeing Jiang Lanshu in a panic, she went straight into the main room without asking a word.

Seeing Old Madam Shen sitting on the chair in a daze, she smiled and said, "The old lady is not even in such a hurry for her own grandson."

Mrs. Shen came back to her senses and sighed: "It's because she was raised by her side that she thinks more. I know she has always admired Wan Zhou in her heart, but she also doesn't want to think about Wan Zhou's mother. She is so precious. Princess Yichang, how could she allow the daughter of a guilty official in the family to marry in?"

Madam Xuan looked serious.

The Jiang family used to be a well-known Qingliu family in Yinyue City, and there were several champions and Tanhuas in the family.

The root cause of the decline of the Jiang family was that when the first emperor was alive, the princes were vying for the throne, and Tanhua, surnamed Jiang, falsely argued that he was still the second prince's sage at that time.

Later, if Princess Jiayi hadn't interceded, the Jiang family would be doing hard labor in the frontier now, and even the North Ninghou Mansion would not be able to stay out of it.

"The old slaves who the old lady said understand, but Miss Lanshu is still young, how can she think so much?"

Old Mrs. Shen took a sip of the hot soy cheese on the table, and said unhurriedly: "Whether she wants to understand it or not, it's better to make it clear earlier, lest I have the idea of ​​being a concubine again, Ridiculous."

Mother Xuan said: "Yes. But there is a saying that twisted melons are not sweet. It is better for the old lady to wait for the second brother of the Wang family to get acquainted with Miss Lanshu before mentioning this marriage."

Mrs. Shen was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Then just wait."
