The Forensic Doctor's Daughter-in-law

Chapter 40 Grandmother's Suspicion
In this atmosphere, Dou Zihan had a subtle feeling that she would not live in the Cui family for too long, and it would be difficult for her to regard the people here as her relatives.

At the end of the Qingshi Avenue, there is a screen wall. Passing around the screen wall in a sedan chair, and walking westward for about ten minutes, and passing through a long corridor, turning around a corner, the servants encountered are getting more and more too much.

After turning a corner, I came to a courtyard that looked a bit solemn.

Someone had already smiled and said: "My cousin is here, hurry up and tell the ancestors that my cousin is here."

Then, more daughters-in-law, maids, and women came up to welcome them.

This courtyard is the residence of the Yue family, the ancestor of Cui Guogong's mansion.Ancestor Cui's father was the crown prince and Taifu of the current dynasty, and he was also a well-known scholar in the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, how could the Cui family, a family of seven surnames who always pay attention to the marriage of the family, marry the Yue family? The surname is not a very noble surname, but Yue's grandfather and maternal grandfather were both well-known Confucian businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Yue's dowry was a sensation in the capital at that time, and the royal princess may not be able to match it.

Dou Zihan got off the sedan chair, this time he didn't let Mama Ping or the two maids support her, but waited for Xiaodou Sprouts to get off the sedan chair, and walked towards the door of the main house with his hand.

Before reaching the door, three women in brightly colored clothes and colorful flowers came out. The one in the lead seemed to be only in her forties, with a relatively wide forehead, a slightly fat body, and a smile on her face. It can be seen from the appearance that it is probably Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui stepped forward and took Dou Zihan's hand, and said with a smile: "Good boy, it's here. Ever since your cousin Lanchi found out about you, my aunt and ancestors have been looking forward to your coming day and night!"

"Sister-in-law, you can say what my younger siblings and I said first, let's go into the house!" Mrs. Cui continued.

As for Mrs. Cui San, she didn't say anything.

Entering the Nuan Pavilion, there was an old lady. She said she was an old lady. In fact, the old ancestor Cui was not very old.

An old lady was sitting on the couch in the middle of the warm pavilion. She was wearing a blue dress for the elderly, and she only wore two solemn-looking jewelry on her head. Dou Zihan couldn't tell what the name of the jewelry was.

In short, compared with the colorful flowers in the house, the ancestor of the Cui family looked much more simple on the surface. Later, Dou Zihan realized that she was not very knowledgeable. Don't look at the simple dress of the ancestor Cui now. A thread of the thread may be a very valuable thing.This is called low-key luxury.

Through the veiled hat on his head, Dou Zihan's gaze fell on Ancestor Cui's face. As soon as he touched Ancestor Cui's gaze, Zihan's heart skipped a beat. There was no warmth in this Ancestor Cui's eyes, nor Like Lin Daiyu entering Jia's mansion, Mother Jia hugged her and cried non-stop.

The scene that should have appeared in her imagination did not appear, and Dou Zihan even felt the vague indifference and guard of Cui ancestor.

Could it be that ancestor Cui didn't like her as a cheap granddaughter, didn't it mean that this granddaughter was the only direct blood relative of ancestor Cui?Or was it the elopement of that cheap mother back then that made the old lady still hold grudges?
When Dou Zihan's thoughts turned around, Mrs. Cui said in a warm voice: "My good boy, we have already entered the door. It's time to take off this hat." The hood was removed.

Then, everyone's eyes fell on Dou Zihan's face.

Although Dou Zihan felt that Mrs. Cui was a little more courteous, the expression on her face didn't change much.

The expression on Ancestor Cui's face was still so flat, and the atmosphere in the room was a little delicate for a while.

"Old Ancestor, look, this girl is indeed the daughter of Third Sister, she looks so similar!"

"Yes, old ancestor, seeing Biao girl is like meeting grandma Sangu." On the right side of Yue Shi, a woman dressed as an aunt stood behind Old Ancestor Cui and said.

"Three ladies, girls, young masters, the ancestor wants to have a few words with his cousin alone, you go back first." An old mother in her 50s beside Cui ancestor said.

"That's right, the ancestor must have a lot of private things to say when he first met Biao girl, so we won't be an eyesore here." Mrs. Cui Er also said with a smile.

Ancestor Cui issued an order to evict guests, and the relatives of Cui's family who were present all brought their people out of Ancestor Cui's yard.Only Xiaodou Sprouts, Mama Ping, and two servant girls, A Lian and A Rong, were left in the room.

"Ping'er, take the young master to the next room to have some snacks. We, grandparents and grandchildren, have something to say." Ancestor Cui said to the mother Ren who greeted her at the door.

"Yes, old ancestor, young master, please come with your servant." After speaking, he went to pull the arm of little bean sprouts.

"No, I don't want to leave my eldest sister." Little Bean Sprouts is only six years old, but he is also very smart. He has already felt that after entering this room, the expressions on the faces of these strangers are very strange, so he doesn't Don't worry about leaving Dou Zihan here alone.

"Doudou, you go and wait with this mother and a few older sisters next door, and the older sister will go to find you later." By now, Dou Zihan has more or less understood the situation he is going to face. Obviously, Mrs. Cui The ancestor was still very suspicious of her granddaughter who appeared out of nowhere, that's why he didn't immediately recognize relatives when he faced the other members of the Cui family just now.

I really don't know what the Cui family is doing, and it's not her who wants to recognize relatives with a white face, but they are the ones who come to the door, okay?

"Okay, big sister, Doudou is waiting for you next door." The big sister has already spoken, and he will still be obedient.

"Aren't you so good, Alian, Arong, you stay with the young master." Dou Zihan turned around and said to the two maidservants.

"Yes, Miss."

Mother Ren took Xiaodou Sprouts by the hand and went to the next room, followed closely by Alian and Arong.

After Ren's mother, Little Bean Sprouts, left, only Dou Zihan, ancestor Cui, and that mother-in-law were left in the room.

"Your girlfriend's name is Zihan, 15 years old this year?" After a moment of silence, ancestor Cui finally spoke.

"Yes, the girl's boudoir name is Zihan." Since this grandmother didn't welcome her, and hadn't admitted her identity in front of the Cui family, her title was very special.

"Oh." Ancestor Cui responded lightly. When he heard her claim, he didn't refute, but he still frowned.

Then there was silence again.The atmosphere in the room was very depressing, which made Dou Zihan feel that this trip to visit relatives was full of a weird smell.

"How did your mother get there?" Ancestor Cui became concerned about her dead daughter, who was Dou Zihan's cheap mother.
