from widow to dame

Chapter 71

Just when Su Huiniang was secretly melancholy, the person she was thinking of encountered trouble in the Yongping Hou Mansion.

In the old lady's room in the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, almost everyone in the Yan family had arrived. They sat on chairs in groups or scattered, and surrounded the big red figure indistinctly. No one spoke first. Shuangshuang kept scanning the person in the middle with eyes full of meanings.

"You bastard!" A gray-haired old lady stared at the man in the middle tremblingly, she seemed to be out of breath, and she cursed: "You crazy, Hongbo!" It's your elder brother, you actually pushed him into the water, you're going to kill him in this cold winter."

"Mother, Hongzhen wouldn't do this, there must be some misunderstanding." Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Yongping Hou, hurriedly stood up and defended Yan Hongzhen.

"Bullshit misunderstanding!" As soon as Qi's words fell, a tall and thin woman dressed in jewels jumped out immediately, crying and crying: "My poor son, this New Year's Eve is actually He was killed by someone, mother, Hongbo is the eldest grandson of our Yan family, he is lying on the bed now, and he does not know whether he will live or die, you have to decide for him!" Yu Shi, the wife of the first house of the Yan family, shouted loudly, After shouting, she quietly gave Hongbo's wife beside her a look. Hongbo's wife understood, and pinched the buttocks of the child in her arms with both hands. The child burst into tears in pain, and Hongbo's wife Kneeling on the ground suddenly, crying miserably: "Wuuuu, I hope grandma will be the master of my husband—"

"Brother Yi, don't cry, brother Yi, don't cry." Seeing that her favorite great-great-grandson was crying so miserably, the old lady immediately yelled heartily and hugged the child in her arms. After calming down, the old lady The wife's anger towards Yan Hongzhen also reached its peak.

"Look at the good deeds you have done!" The old lady scolded with a livid face: "In the past, you were disrespectful and caused troubles everywhere. I think you suffered a lot when you were young, so I accommodated you in every possible way. I didn't expect you to make more progress. You have done such a thing of mutilating siblings, this time, I will not allow you! Come on, drag me out and beat me hard, when will he bow his head and admit his mistake, when will he stop."

"Mother, please be merciful, Zhen'er is still a child, even if he made some mistakes, he shouldn't be punished so severely!" Qi's face changed slightly, and he pleaded eagerly.

"What are you talking about!" Yu said coldly, poking the corners of his eyes, "You are still talking about this bastard. Could it be that you have to wait until he kills the whole family before punishing him?"

"That was not what I meant……"

"Enough!" The old lady interrupted Qi's words, and said angrily: "You don't need to talk about the third family. If it weren't for your aunt who is not strict in teaching, how could he become like this? A child cares Not good, I think you, the mistress, are almost done."

Qi's face suddenly turned pale when she heard this, the old lady had already slapped her in the face when she said such a thing in front of so many people, why not embarrass her.Mother was humiliated, and Sister Lan beside her couldn't feel better, she couldn't help feeling angry and anxious.It's just that she still has some brains, instead of directly confronting the old lady, she vented all her anger on Yan Hongzhen.

This is the man!Since he came to this house, he has caused his mother to worry a lot, suffered a lot of grievances, but he is still a heartless white-eyed wolf, and he is not very close to his mother. A few steps ahead, he shouted at the big red figure: "You don't have to admit your mistake to the old ancestor. How far will my mother be implicated by you to be willing!"

"Admit what's wrong?" Yan Hongzhen's eyelids fluttered, and a cold arc was drawn at the corner of his mouth: "Then Yan Hongbo fell into the pool by himself, it's none of my business, why should I apologize."

"You are talking nonsense. The servants have seen it. It was you who quarreled with Hongbo on the stone bridge and finally pushed him down cruelly!" can eat him.

"That's probably because they read it wrong!" Yan Hongzhen suddenly giggled, but there was endless malice in what he said: "Actually, the truth of the matter is that Brother Hongbo just looked at the lotus in the pond, and looked at the lotus in the pond. I was so engrossed that I accidentally fell, and I went to pull it, but unfortunately I didn't pull it." Yan Hongzhen shrugged his shoulders, as if I had tried my best.

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she was even more annoyed. It's the twelfth lunar month. Where did the lotus come from? Isn't this talking nonsense?

"Okay, you don't need to waste your time with this vicious animal." The old lady said, "Didn't you hear what I said just now? Pull me out and beat me hard." As soon as she finished speaking, several servants came over to ask Take that Yan Hongzhen, however, before they got close, Yan Hongzhen sneered, raised his feet, no one could see what he did, the servants spat blood from their mouths, and slammed Hit the ground.

Sister Lan'er was the first to exclaim, and then Mrs. Yu, the old lady and others also showed dumbfounded expressions.

"Want to hit me?" Yan Hongzhen sneered: "Are you qualified?"

As he said that, he ignored the crowd, turned around and left, frightened by his power just now, there were so many people in the flower hall, but none of them dared to step forward to stop him, just watched him leave in a swaggering manner.

"It's wrong, it's wrong..." The old lady's eyes darkened in anger, and her whole body trembled like a convulsion.

Yan Hongzhen left the flower hall, did not return to his own yard, and went straight out of the Hou Mansion.At this time, it was the night of the New Year, when every family was reunited. There were not many people on the street, and it seemed empty and tight. The gorgeous corners of the eyes looked even colder.

"Master..." At some point, Xiao Shunzi chased up from behind and complained to him, "Wait for a slave."

Yan Hongzhen snorted and ignored him.

Xiao Shunzi knew that his young master was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to take the tiger's beard, but in this cold weather, there must be a place to stay. Of course, the Yongping Hou Mansion might be closed for a while. I can't go back, let's talk about it after avoiding the limelight.

"Master, why don't we go to Huo's house?" Xiao Shunzi asked tentatively.

Impatientness appeared in Yan Hongzhen's eyes. He wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought that there was really no place for him to go except there.

The red lanterns hanging high on both sides of the street are swaying in the wind, today is the New Year...

"Master?"

"What are you arguing about!" Yan Hongzhen bound his hands and strode forward: "That's not my house. It's the New Year's Eve, so why go to someone else's place to make trouble."

His home is in that far away place, where there are people who really love him and love him, that's his home.

After the fifteenth day, the first month came out, and the year was completely over.

Because the weather was still very cold, Su Huiniang stayed at home except when necessary to go out. On this day, she was leaning over to fiddle with her abacus when Mu Xiang opened the curtain and walked in.

"Miss, someone posted a post for you."

Su Huiniang raised her head in doubt when she heard the words: "What post?"

"It's a post from Mrs. Lu Yuanwai in the town, inviting you to come to his house to appreciate plum blossoms in three days."

Su Huiniang took a look at the post, and it turned out to be the case. She had heard of this member Lu before, and he was considered a first-class big family in Pantao Town. It's just that the two of them have never had any contact with each other, so why would they suddenly give it away? She posted it.

"Miss, this servant remembers that his family gave us New Year's gifts during Chinese New Year."

With such a reminder, Su Huiniang also remembered this point, so it was hard to refuse.

Three days later, Su Huiniang really showed up for the appointment on time.

The residence of the Lu family is actually not too far away from the Su family. It is only a street away, so Su Huiniang didn't even sit in the car, and just walked over. catch.

"I've heard for a long time that Ms. Su is capable. I saw her today, so she's just like that." As soon as she entered the hall, a middle-aged woman wearing a purple printed cotton trousers and an emerald hair mask came over with a smile on her face. , behind her were several young girls, all looking at her curiously.

Su Huiniang thought that this person should be Mrs. Lu.

"Madam praised me, but Hui Niang would like to thank Madam for the invitation." She replied with a smile.

The two parties saw the ceremony and sat down respectively.

In fact, the two families only met for the first time, and they were not familiar with each other, but Mrs. Lu was unexpectedly very good at talking, but in a short while, the atmosphere became very friendly, which made Su Huiniang relax a lot.They said it was a "Plum Appreciation Banquet", but Su Huiniang looked around and found that the other party didn't seem to invite anyone other than herself, and Su Wen was mentioned a lot during the conversation, and then she looked at the little girls around her , Su Huiniang had a score in her heart.When we were talking happily, a servant came to report that the plum garden had been properly arranged, and the ladies and ladies were invited to enjoy the plum blossoms. So the group put on capes, held the stove and held the stove, and the wood fragrance was also there. Su Huiniang put a paper umbrella on her head.

The Lu family is the most famous wealthy household in the town, but they are only wealthy households after all. Although a so-called plum garden looks like a lot of flowers, its area is not large. As far as Su Huiniang is concerned, there is really no sense of shock.Mrs. Lu, who has always been proud of this, saw her not only not angry, but even more happy. I heard that the Su family is related to the Earl's Mansion in the capital. Seeing this normal look, she must be used to it of.

For a moment, the thought in my heart couldn't help becoming more and more hot.
