Chapter 105: I Can't Escape My Fate (5)
Ruoxi turned around from behind the screen, without any waves on her face.Before she could salute, the old lady called her to sit down.However, she saluted politely, and then slowly moved over.

"Don't be surprised, you have the style of being a housewife! It's a pity..." The old lady took her hand and said, with regret and pity flashing in her eyes.

Ruoxi's eyes turned red when she heard the words, she forced a smile and replied: "Just now the granddaughter came to pay her respects to the grandmother, and heard the uncle talking inside. I didn't know that the grandmother had painstakingly arranged everything for the granddaughter, so I couldn't help crying. "

"Since I heard it, I won't hide it. For the sake of the Han family and your second brother, I can only wrong you!" The old lady has always liked Ruoxi's straightforwardness, and now that the matter has come to an end, she is not afraid to speak out, "Although I will help you plan, But after all, you still have to sacrifice your happiness. I once said that you have suffered a lot, and I will give you a happy future in the future, but I made a mistake! If you have resentment in your heart, just go to grandma, your uncle and the others There's no other way. I'm just an old woman in her dying years, and all the evil things I do are blamed on me, and I'm not afraid of losing my life!"

After hearing this, Ruoxi stood up and knelt down, and replied with tears in her eyes: "The granddaughter dare not resent, and she has no reason to resent. I was given the surname 'Han' since I was born, and my body, hair and skin are all treated by my parents. A bowl of porridge and a piece of thread are bestowed by the elders. Now that the family is in trouble, I can’t shirk it if I can do my best! If I get married, I can solve the problem of my second brother, I am willing! I know that it is enough for my grandmother to think hard about me This honor is the only one among all the sisters, and it is worth all the hardships and sufferings. Besides, the Hou Mansion is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Not being able to have fun at my grandmother's knees, I really miss my grandmother!" After saying that, tears rolled down her face.

"Good boy!" The old lady hugged her and cried, "It's too late for me to love you, and I feel aggrieved when I think of giving you to someone else to be a noble concubine!"

Mother Liu couldn't help wiping away her tears, and quickly tried to persuade her.After a while, the grandfather and grandson gradually calmed down, and the old lady helped Ruoxi up herself.

She sighed and said: "This matter hasn't been settled yet, as long as you know it in your heart." Ruoxi nodded and agreed.

Mother Liu ordered the girl to fetch water, she personally waited on the old lady Jingmian, and Lue came in to serve Ruoxi.After a simple wash, the girl made tea, and the grandfather and grandson were speechless.

Perhaps because of Han Hao's matter, the old lady's spirit has improved a lot.She stayed Ruoxi at Rong Shan Tang for dinner, and actually ate a few more mouthfuls than usual.

When Ruoxi left and returned to Qingfengtang, the sky was getting dark, Guiyuan sent the little girl to welcome her to the garden with a lantern.After entering the backyard, Ruoxi saw Guiyuan looking around on the porch, and when she came back, she hurried up to greet her.

"It's not like I'm going to grandma's side. What are you doing while you're sending the girl to pick me up, and waiting outside nervously?" Ruoxi entered the room, asking while untying the belt on the cloak.

After hearing this, Guiyuan replied: "If the girl is tired, go to take a hot bath. The maidservant has told them to prepare the water. After a while, the maidservant will make a cup of honey tea and put some dried flower petals in the smoker. Don't try to get a good night's sleep."

Ruoxi nodded when she heard the words, she was indeed a little tired, her heart was tired!When she heard that she was sent to the Hou Mansion as a concubine as a deal, she suddenly felt cold all over.Hearing that grandma said that she wanted to betroth herself to Liu Huanchen, her heart warmed up again, which also complicated her mood.

She boasted that she had a prosperous life in the Han family, from being despised at the beginning to being respected now, every step was within her plan.But she had calculated thousands of times, but she missed the most important thing after all.She is fourteen years old, and has reached the age of marriage. In this age of parents' order and matchmaker's words, it is impossible for her to influence her own marriage.

Originally thought that the third wife had lost power, and the old lady liked her somewhat, so she should be able to choose a similar family for her.But the world is difficult, no matter how scheming she is, no matter how high-minded she is, she still can't resist the tease of fate.

She knew that there was no room for turning around this matter. Although the old lady was crying and scolding, she couldn't destroy the Han family for her!Since she has to marry no matter what, she might as well put on a high profile.

But is she going to marry Lin Yixuan?How should she face the second grandmother who treats her like a sister?Being obedient seems to be the condition proposed by the general, that is to say, it is what my sister means.Why marry a noble concubine to your husband, or your own sister?
Ruoxi's mind was in a mess, she simply didn't think about anything, she slowly slid into the water and held her breath.I didn't get out until the chest tightness was about to suffocate, and I took a long breath and felt more comfortable.

"Girl, the water will hurt you when the water is cold, so come out." Seeing that she hadn't come out after washing for a long time, Lu E came in to urge her, wrapped her hair with a big towel, and brought clean underwear.

Ruoxi dried her body and put on her clothes, and said: "There are several farms in our house, who are taking care of them, you check them quietly and report back to me."

Since the old lady said that she would marry according to the standard of the main family, she would definitely accompany her with a farm.She showed such generosity and general knowledge, on the premise of the old lady, it is estimated that it is not a problem to want any one.What she needs to know right now is the situation of each farm, and she can't have a farm that has to worry about labor and lose money!
Lue nodded hurriedly when she heard this, and looked for ways to inquire the next day.Originally, the maids in the inner courtyard seldom go out to the second sect, let alone contact outside.But the current comprador, Wang Wu, was promoted by Ruoxi, and Lue had met him a few times, knowing that he was a loyal and honest master, so he entrusted this matter to him.

Although Wang Wu was not born in the family, he had been hanging out in the outer courtyard for many years, and he remembered those messy things in the mansion when he heard them talk about it.Later, Qin Da took him by his side to teach him, and he learned more and more, and he knew more and more clearly about the situation in the mansion.Now he has become a comprador, so he can move around easily.Within two days, he found out all the news that Lue wanted.

It's just that he doesn't know many words, so he can only report back in person, so he asks Lue to meet near the second gate.

Seeing him bowing his head and stuttering while talking, Lue said displeasedly: "Now you are a comprador anyway, how can you do things if you can't speak well in front of people? Could it be that the girl misjudged you?"

"No." He waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this, "I'm a rough person, and I was afraid that I would offend my sister if I said something wrong, so I was a little panicked."

"Just tell the truth, what's right or wrong? Besides, you look like an old man, who is your sister?" Lue frowned and looked him up and down.Seeing that his clothes are tidy today, his shoes seem to be new, but he is unshaven and looks like a man in his thirties.

Hearing this, Wang Wu didn't know what to call Lu'e, his usual cleverness was gone, and Lu'e didn't like being dumb.After listening to him stammering out what he had found, he told him not to tell anyone else, then turned and left.
