Chapter 58 The real daughter, she quit (4)

Zhao's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.

It's a pity that Haiyao didn't intend to give her this chance, just like when she was in Liuliyuan, she took out her handkerchief and raised it, sobbing softly again: "Mother, my daughter is stupid, this is making sister Jinrou unhappy again. ?"

"It's no wonder that I was at the Wang family before. My mother... No, my adoptive mother always scolded me for not doing enough. She brought me food, so I wanted to treat her well. Does my sister despise me?"

"Why would Jinrou dislike you? You are the eldest lady of the Wu family, who in the whole family would dare to dislike you?" Mrs. Zhao felt a throbbing pain in her forehead, and her original thoughts of pity for Wu Jinrou were blurred by the words just now .

"That Mrs. Liu, does she often scold you? Does she treat you well?" She frowned delicately and asked eagerly.

"..." Mentioning Mrs. Liu, Haiyao shrank her shoulders unconsciously, then pursed her red lips slightly, and nodded lightly: "The adoptive mother is very good to me, it's all because of my daughter's wrongdoing." That's why I got scolded."

All of her subconscious reactions were seen by Mrs. Zhao, and she suddenly felt a little depressed.

Wu Jinrou has spent so many years in Wu's family living a life of luxury and luxury. Even Wu Xiuyuan, a staid scholar-bureaucrat, seldom reprimands him on weekdays.It's nothing more than 16 years of unrespectable life for my daughter, so the Wang family and his wife still don't love her?
At present, Mrs. Zhao hasn't thought about it more seriously. After all, Mrs. Liu only found out after returning to Beijing a few days ago that the two had embraced the wrong child in the ruined temple. Mrs. Liu has always raised Haiyao as her own daughter for so many years. .No matter how much a mother doesn't love her child, it shouldn't be so bad.

In the following time, the mother and daughter were a little silent, and when the somewhat depressing dinner finally ended, Haiyao left.

When they returned to the Liuliyuan, the three people who had been standing in the courtyard and whispered together knelt on the ground the moment they saw her. According to the memory of the original owner, she confirmed that the one who was kneeling at the front That maid was Lilac sent by Wu Jinrou.

"The slave is guilty, Madam has already punished the slave, please forgive me." Ding Xiang put her forehead on the ground, looking very humble.

Seeing this, the other servant girl and the foster mother also followed suit and shouted, "I'm guilty of my slave."

I don't know if they were frightened by Zhao's way of dealing with the sweeping woman in the afternoon. The three of them looked very well-behaved now, and there was no slightest contempt in their words.

"Get up." Haiyao just glanced at the three people on the ground, and then walked straight to the main house: "Get water, I'm tired."

"Yes." Ding Xiang got up, exchanged glances with the maid and mother behind her, and then went to work separately.

It passed peacefully for a few days.

Early in the morning, Haiyao was sitting in front of the bronze mirror and combing Lilac's hair when suddenly the mother nun came in quietly.

"Miss, madam sent someone to tell you to go to the front gate quickly. It seems that the young master and old madam have returned from their hometown in Raocheng, and they have already entered the gate of the city!" After a pause, he added another sentence: "It's the letter from the old lady who asked the accompanying servant to ride back to the house first."

Um?In the original owner's memory, he hadn't seen the old lady and Brother Cheap in this mansion until he got married, why did these two people come back?

After thinking about it, I realized that if she hadn't occupied this body, Wu Haiyao would have had a 'scandalous incident' in the Minister's Mansion that day.Naturally, Mrs. Zhao would send someone to report this kind of thing to her hometown in Raocheng. She guessed that the old lady was impatient to see this granddaughter who tarnished the family's reputation, let alone come back to accept the ridicule of others, so she did not return to Beijing for a long time.

"understood."

When Haiyao brought Ding Xiang to the front yard, she saw a group of people standing outside the door. Mrs. Zhao waved at her, and she obediently went to the other party's side.

"I'll be able to see the elder brother I mentioned to you later. I've already sent a letter to the old lady to tell you about you. I'll remember to call someone later." While speaking, Mrs. Zhao raised her hand lightly. Gently stroked her temples: "Zian must be very happy to see you."

Wu Zian is the eldest son of Wu Xiuyuan and the Zhao family. When Wu Xiuyuan went south with the pregnant Zhao family, he was only three years old. Because he was too young to endure hardships, he was taken back to his hometown in Raocheng to be raised by the old lady.

Even if he had a vague memory back then, what he remembered was Zhao's big belly, and the two of them had never even met each other... Haiyao felt that the other party might not be happy with this younger sister who appeared suddenly.

Thinking of this, she turned her face slightly, and saw Wu Jinrou who was a few steps away.

I don't know if it's because Mrs. Zhao has been focusing on her from the beginning, so the girl looks unhappy. Although she is trying her best to control it, if someone observes carefully, she will find that the expression on that pretty face Still very awkward.

After breaking up in Qingsongyuan that night, speaking of it, this is the first time the two of them have been in the same space in the past few days.

Perhaps Haiyao's gaze was too naked, Zhao's gaze also forgot to follow the direction she was looking at, then smiled and waved towards that side.

Wu Jinrou quickly changed his expression, raised a sweet smile, and took advantage of the opportunity to move to Zhao's side: "Mother."

After that, she opened her mouth a little shyly: "Sister, I was wrong that day, didn't I frighten you? I just... just thought of many possibilities. I didn't cry because of you, sister, please ask my sister to give up. Don't take it to heart."

"The family doesn't speak the same language, so sister Jinrou doesn't have to worry about it." Haiyao also responded with a smile.

Mrs. Zhao was very pleased to see that the two were willing to "get back together", and was about to say something, but was interrupted by shouts from the street.

"The old lady is back! The young master is back!"

After the words fell, everyone heard the clatter of horseshoes, which was also mixed with the thud of wooden wheels rolling on the stone road.

Soon, two green-roofed carriages stopped slowly outside the gate of the Wu Mansion, and a young man got out of the front carriage first. He had sword eyebrows and stars, and was dressed in a blue-gray robe. Strong bookish atmosphere.

After jumping off the carriage, the young man quickly walked up to Mrs. Zhao, and bowed deeply: "My son greets his mother."

"Let me take a look!" Mrs. Zhao helped Qixu up, her eyes filled with joy of reunion: "Over the past year, my son has lost some weight."

"In my hometown in Raocheng, those cousins ​​often dragged me out for horse racing, so naturally I would be thinner." Wu Zian explained, and then helped Mrs. Zhao to the carriage behind with a wink.

The nanny who happened to be with the car raised the curtain, and Mrs. Zhao hurried forward and reached out her hand, and personally took the old lady down.

The old lady of the Wu Mansion looks a little thin, with deep wrinkles between her brows, she should have a serious personality.The other party was wearing a dark outer skirt with wide cuffs, his back was fairly straight when he walked, and there was a dark blue satin mop inlaid with white jade on his forehead. Very frighteningly serious.

"Greetings to the old lady!" The voices of more than a dozen people present sounded one after another, and all of them knelt as they should, and blessed themselves as they deserved.

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, and when she was walking to the door steps, she turned her head suddenly, stared at Haiyao who was bowing her face obediently for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "This is the letter you wrote in your letter." The one mentioned?"

"Yes..." Zhao's expression was a little embarrassing.

"Look at the foolish things you and Xiu Yuan did back then!" The old lady snorted coldly, without any intention of taking a good look at the lost granddaughter, and entered the house on her own.

Seeing this, the rest naturally didn't dare to procrastinate, and all followed her in.

The originally crowded front door quickly became deserted.

Fuyuan is located in the southernmost part of the backyard of the Wu Mansion, and it is one of the most spacious courtyards in the whole mansion. The old lady will live there whenever she comes back from her hometown in Raocheng.

Similar to the Qingsong Courtyard where Wu Xiuyuan and the Zhao family lived, there is a small and exquisite garden in the Fuyuan. Once you enter the courtyard, you will be facing a not-so-spacious main hall that is occasionally used for receiving guests.

On the right side of the main hall is the main room, on the left side is the side room, and on the west side of the courtyard are the servants' room and small kitchen.

At this time, all the people in the mansion seemed to be gathered in the main hall of Fuyuan, just waiting for the old lady to come out after changing her clothes, and the big guy greeted her formally again.

Haiyao glanced towards the door, and at this time there were two beautiful women standing there quietly, both of them were wearing women's buns, their identities were clearly revealed .

Speaking of which, these two concubines were only hired by Wu Xiuyuan after he returned to Beijing from the south. At that time, Mrs. Zhao had already had both children, and in addition to the fact that both of them had average appearances and identities, they turned a blind eye and closed their eyes. .

"Brother~"

The slightly enthusiastic call from the side successfully interrupted Haiyao's wild thoughts, and when she turned her head, she saw Wu Jinrou coquettishly complaining to Wu Zian: "It's fine if you don't think about me when you go back to your hometown in Raocheng. Why didn't you even bring me a gift when you returned to Beijing?"

"This time I went back to Rao City with my grandmother to repair the ancestral ancestral hall. My father was busy at court, so he really couldn't get away and let me go. Besides, Rao City is not as prosperous as Beijing, and there are not many people there. If you went back to the place where you had fun, wouldn't you become a wild girl who climbed trees in the mountains and went into the water all day long?" Wu Zian said, mysteriously pulling out two hairpins from his bosom.

"I knew brother you would never forget me." Wu Jinrou smiled and was about to reach out to grab it.

She didn't think about it but missed it. Facing her suspicious gaze, Wu Zian coughed lightly twice.

Afterwards, he gave one of them to Wu Jinrou in front of him, but the other one was directly under Haiyao's nose.

He raised his eyes in surprise, probably because he didn't expect Haiyao to look at him so bluntly, the young man's face turned red immediately, and his speech was a little sluggish: "Big...big sister, it's the first time we meet. And it can be regarded as a meeting gift for brother!"

It was just these two ordinary words that fell into the ears of the people next to them, and made Wu Jinrou's flattering smile instantly froze on his face.
