The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 309 Meeting Grandma
"Actually, it wasn't so sudden. I've lived here for so long, and my brother has always wanted to take me back to the Xiao Mansion, so..."

"Since you've lived here for so long, why can't you wait until Lu Heng gets married before leaving? That girl, Heng'er, needs you."

Lu Hanrui frowned to keep Xiao Ruan.

At first he used this excuse to bring Xiao Ruan into the Lu residence, firstly he wanted to temporarily rescue Xiao Ruan from the fire and water, and secondly he wanted to use Xiao Ruan to warn Huo Xun.

But no one thought that the two would really reconcile in the end.

Now that Lu Heng's wedding date has not yet arrived, Xiao Ruan is in a hurry to leave. He subconsciously thinks that Xiao Ruan feels guilty because he knows the reason why the prince was imprisoned by the emperor.

But seeing her deny it outright, Lu Hanrui had no choice but to use other ways to keep her.

"No, the person my cousin needs most now is the crown prince. As long as the crown prince is fine, she will be fine too."

Xiao Ruan shook her head lightly, a self-deprecating expression suddenly appeared on her face: "As for me, just let me leave with dignity..."

Decent?

Upon hearing this word, Lu Hanrui hurriedly tried to persuade him, but Xiao Ruan interrupted him before he could open his mouth.

"Cousin, you don't need to comfort me. I already know that Huo Xun leaked the prince's secret. Now that the prince's confinement has not been lifted, and Lu Heng's wedding is not sure whether it will go smoothly, how do you want me to face her? Lu Heng forgives me, and I feel guilty too!"

"Don't think like this, the casino incident was indeed done by Huo Xun, but you have nothing to do with him now. Neither the crown prince, me, nor Lu Heng will have any complaints against you..."

Xiao Ruan lowered his head, the expression of shame and self-blame on his face made Lu Hanrui extremely distressed, he stepped forward to gently embrace Xiao Ruan in his arms, but Xiao Ruan avoided him.

"Cousin, let me beg you, okay? Do you know how sad I was when I saw Lu Heng just now? I...I need to be quiet..."

Xiao Ruan's voice suddenly became choked up, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were already red, and there were still crystal tears in the corners of his eyes.

Lu Hanrui couldn't see Xiao Ruan's appearance the most, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes pityingly, finally nodded in agreement, and personally sent someone to send her to Xiao's residence.

"Ruan'er, you haven't visited grandma for a long time, but grandma has been thinking about you. No, your old yard, grandma has ordered someone to clean it up for you!"

As soon as Xiao Ruan returned to Xiao's house and settled down, Mrs. Xiao sent someone to invite her to her room to talk.

Different from the situation when Xiao Ruan left, today's Xiao family has been refurbished up and down because of Xiao Zhongheng's promotion step by step, like a dead tree in spring.

Mrs. Xiao greeted Xiao Ruan with a smile on her face, the wrinkles on her face stretched into a chrysanthemum, looking extremely kind.

"Thank you grandma for your compassion, Ruan Er is very grateful."

Facing Mrs. Xiao's gaze, Xiao Ruan's face was submissive.But at this moment, Mrs. Xiao's eyes flashed, and she turned her gaze to her stomach.

"How many months old is the child in your tummy now? Grandma probably is about to give birth, right?"

Following her line of sight, Xiao Ruan took a look at her own high belly, and nodded slightly: "Grandmother's words are right, the child in my granddaughter's womb is seven months old now, and will be born in two more months. "

"That's right, that's right! Even in the future...you won't be too deserted if you have a child by your side."

Mrs. Xiao's words were vague, but Xiao Yuan could hear several different emotions from it. The corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, and she quickly nodded in agreement: "Grandmother is very true. Granddaughter also feels that after the child is born, the future life will be more difficult. It’s bound to be a lot of fun.”

The grandfather and grandson seemed to be in harmony, but after Xiao Ruan's words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little subtle.

"Ruan'er, it wasn't grandma who said you. I heard that when Huo Xun waited for you outside the gate of Lu's house for a whole day, you didn't see him. Could it be that you really want to make a clean break with him? And your grandfather, he just Didn't persuade you?"

Mrs. Xiao wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, staring straight at Xiao Ruan, her voice seemed suspicious,
Xiao Ruan heard the other party's temptation, her fine and slender eyelashes trembled, and a cold feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

It has been a year since she married into the Lu family. Many things have happened during this year, but the only thing that remains the same is everyone's character and position.

Mrs. Xiao said she was Xiao Ruan's biological grandmother, but her first consideration was always the interests of the Xiao family.

When she married Huo Xun back then, Mrs. Xiao wished she could have contact with her every day, so as to let everyone know that Xiao Zhongheng had a close relationship with the Lu family and belonged to the prince's party.

But now, Huo Xun broke with the prince, and she has also reconciled with Huo Xun. Not only did Mrs. Xiao not ask the specific reason for their reconciliation, but she kept asking tentatively whether the two would be in contact in the future, and even worried. The problem of the birth of the child.

Rao Xiao Ruan wanted to comfort himself that Mrs. Xiao asked this question because she cared about her, but the other party's urgent appearance still made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Huo Xun had an affair with another woman without my consent, and wanted to marry that person into the family. How can my granddaughter swallow this breath? My grandfather's family has always loved me, and they don't want me to be wronged. Naturally, they support me this time." I made peace with him. As for the child in my womb, I can give birth to it and raise it myself.”

At the beginning when Xiao Ruan reconciled with her, Xiao Zhongheng expressed support for all her decisions, but she felt uncomfortable and did not personally inform Mrs. Xiao of this matter.

When Mrs. Xiao asked about it face-to-face, she spoke out her rhetoric to the outside world, implicitly expressing that she did not want anyone to interfere with her decision.

It's a pity that Mrs. Xiao didn't seem to understand Xiao Ruan's implication, and actually put on a preaching posture.

"That's what's wrong with your child. You always like to make up your own mind about everything, even your own grandmother doesn't believe it. Did I warn you before? If you were willing to listen to your grandmother and arrange a room for Huo Xun, how could it be?" What happened today?"

Because of Mrs. Xiao's words, Xiao Ruan's previously forgotten memories suddenly appeared in her mind.

Not long after she and Huo Xun got married, Qian was busy stuffing people into her room. This incident was reported to her good grandmother, but the other party not only didn't help her think of any countermeasures, but even pretended to be good for her I also had the idea of ​​sending someone to her room.

After that incident, Xiao Ruan has been completely cold-hearted by Mrs. Xiao.If Mrs. Xiao hadn't reminded her today, she would have almost forgotten that she intended to put someone in her room at the beginning.

For a moment, a sarcasm flashed in Xiao Ruan's eyes, no matter what Mrs. Xiao said, she would remain silent.It wasn't until Mrs. Xiao saw the abnormality that she finally softened her tone.

"Grandmother used to say that you are a blessed person, but who would have thought that your life would be so rough? But, again, it may not be a good thing for you to reconcile with Huo Xun. Now he has broken with the prince. There will inevitably be a catastrophe in the future, so it's better to separate from him in time."

Xiao Ruan silently listened to Mrs. Xiao's words, still nodding in agreement, but thinking in her heart that since she already knew that the prince and Huo Xun had a stalemate, why bother to repeatedly confirm whether she was disappointed in Huo Xun?

"Grandmother said very well, Huo Xun bullied me, if I still miss him, even Ruan Er will look down on me. From now on, he and I will naturally go our separate ways, and there will be no other contact. "

"You're right if you think so now, it's just that the child in your stomach is in some trouble..."

Mrs. Xiao was halfway through her sentence, as if she suddenly realized that her words were a bit inappropriate, she coughed twice, and took the initiative to hold Xiao Ruan's hand.

"Your brother and I have always wanted to take you back to stay for a while. Now that you are willing to come back, it will save us from worrying about you. Our family is finally reunited."

What Mrs. Xiao said after that, Xiao Ruan no longer remembers, but the phrase "stay for a while" in the other party's words is deeply imprinted in her mind.

According to the customs of the Jin Dynasty, if a woman is abandoned or divorced by her husband's family, most of them will return to her natal family and live there until she gets married again.

She believed that even if she lived in the mansion for a lifetime, Xiao Zhongheng would not refuse, but Mrs. Xiao specifically mentioned "living for a while" just now, which seemed to be implying something.

"The young master is here!"

Suddenly there was a servant's communication sound outside the room, and Xiao Zhongheng's figure flashed in from outside.Mrs. Xiao's eyes lit up, and the look of love on her face became a little bit stronger, it seemed a little bit more.

"Heng'er is done with business?"

"Going back to grandma, my grandson has already finished his work. Hearing that sister Ruan came to see grandma, grandson naturally rushed to find her."

After Xiao Zhongheng finished speaking, he immediately turned his gaze to Xiao Ruan, looked at him carefully, and the smile in his eyes grew a bit more.

When Lu Hanrui sent Xiao Ruan back to Xiao's house, he notified Xiao Zhongheng early, but Xiao Zhongheng couldn't come back in time because of the unfinished business in the palace.

Xiao Ruan was no longer in the mood to continue dealing with Mrs. Xiao, but when she saw Xiao Zhongheng came back, she just managed to pull herself together, but after a while she felt a little tired and went back to rest.

And Xiao Zhongheng didn't know if he saw something, and apologized to Xiao Ruan on the way to send Xiao Ruan back to the hospital.

"Ruan'er, it's all my fault today, I failed to bring you back in person, if your grandmother just said something to you that made you uncomfortable, don't mind."

As he said that, Xiao Zhongheng showed a hint of helplessness on his face: "Grandmother is always old, you and I don't want to argue with her, just be obedient on the surface."

Xiao Ruan turned her head back, her eyes were full of gratitude, but her face was indifferent: "Brother is worrying too much, grandma cares about us, how can I not understand her difficulties?"

Xiao Zhongheng stopped and looked into Xiao Ran's eyes for a while, then suddenly sighed, and raised his hand to cover her shoulder.
