Fall in love with your enemy

After the last episode, the matter between Yu Ting and Fu Yunqin basically came to an end. After I emoted for a long time, I remembered something that upset me.

I also have to meet my beautiful but venomous second grandma and give her the silk scarf that my cousin carefully selected for her.

I patted Gao Xinci, and he wanted to go with me without saying a word. Well, it’s not bad. I’m shy, but when it comes to serious matters, I can act quickly. I can let go of my shyness, but this will accompany me up the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire. The opportunity cannot be delayed by half a minute, but! I was finally moved, but Gao Xinci was still speechless.

His expression at that time was like the funny face in the WeChat emoticon package. He leaned into my ear and said something very obscenely: "I mean, people who usually sleep until the afternoon don't get up. Why did he get up today without being called?" Oh, it turns out there is a mistress behind you who forces you to get up..."

I immediately used my unique martial arts skill, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and burst out a series of "hate, hate, hate", which always offends me!

I returned to the living room, thought about my second grandma's extremely feudal thoughts, and then looked at the suspender skirt on me. Well... I chose to honestly find a jacket and put it on.

Wearing such "revealing" clothing, I would definitely be beaten up in the mistress's courtyard. Thinking about the unforgettable experiences I had in the past, I'd better not act like a monster.

Taking the scarf, I looked back at Gao Xinci. He was still looking in the direction of Hanlu's room, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say. Of course I understood his thoughts, so I looked "tragic" with him. Lookout.

Look at the watch, it's only around seven o'clock. Lu Chengcheng will definitely be thrown over his shoulder when he runs to wake Han Lu up... I don't know if this child will still be intact when we see him again later. But, this crime Now that the younger brother has already suffered, the elder sister and brother-in-law will not join in the fun. One less person will be beaten, right?

Gao Xinci and I looked at each other and decisively chose to abandon Lu Chengcheng! Let’s go find the second grandma together, hand in hand!

As soon as we went out, we bumped into Uncle Li who had just brought the horses from the stable. Although I didn't know that Uncle Li, as the housekeeper of the entire old house, had so many things to do every day, he still always showed up. For reasons in front of me, but out of politeness, I took Gao Xinci to say hello to Uncle Li first.

Uncle Li saw my thoughts at a glance and told me the reason before I asked. Uncle Li nodded slightly: "Miss, before you came, the second master and Mr. Fu had already said hello to me. Take good care of me, miss. Mr. Fu also specifically asked me to keep an eye on you if you don't know the way. I'm afraid you might get lost. So Xiao Liu, who was in charge of sweeping the yard this morning, called me as soon as he saw you awake. Called me over."

I was at a loss for words.

Mr. Fu specifically asked me what the hell was wrong with not knowing the way!

Of course this "little Mr. Fu" is my cousin, and my cousin is still as bad as ever! I am indeed a road addict, but I wouldn’t say anything specifically to others! I don’t know the way… There are so many people at home and I don’t know how to ask!

I was so angry that Gao Xinci's face turned red while he was suppressing laughter.

But what can I do! Just think that my cousin is thinking about my safety... Second Grandma’s yard is so remote, it’s okay if Uncle Li brings the horse over, so I don’t have to walk.

I bit my lip and accepted my fate, slapped Gao Xinci on the back of the head to tell him to stop laughing, and quickly picked me up on the horse.

The second grandma never liked crowded places, especially after she fell ill, so many relatives living in the old house were noisy every day. The second uncle once thought about taking her out of the old house and buying a separate apartment. The yard was for the second grandma to live in, but she was used to watching the clouds flowing in the mountains and hearing the chirping of the apes and birds. She refused to leave the old house no matter what. The second uncle had a headache thinking about it, and finally gave up. We could only spend money to expand the old house, and found a vacant land on the mountain to build a house. For the convenience of the second mistress who suddenly wanted to go out, we built a road.

It's just that for so many years, the second mistress has never left the old house for a day.

I sighed, my poor second grandma was heartbroken by my heartless grandpa after all. What else could be the reason for her unwillingness to leave the old house? Grandpa's tablet is enshrined here. She can live in peace of mind. What's the reason why she doesn't want to be crowded with everyone? Isn't it just that among the bunch of relatives crowded in the center of the old house, there is also the third grandmother, grandpa's "love of his life"? My uncle also comes back occasionally to pay homage to his ancestors, which is embarrassing.

Grandpa has been partial to his uncle all his life, especially to his younger uncle, leaving all the best to him. Even if the second grandma complained and tried her best to fight for the second uncle, all she got in exchange was grandpa's rejection. Now, even the second uncle has begun to dislike the second grandma for being too noisy, which is actually quite pitiful.

But compared to the overt and covert fights between the second grandma and the third grandma, why do I feel that my old man is the most pitiful!

My husband was the eldest son of his first wife, but he turned out to be the one that my grandfather despised the most. Isn’t it because my own grandma has no ideas and has lost her beauty in old age? The most pitiful thing is that my grandma passed away early, which made grandpa very angry with the three thousand beauties in the harem...

Well, my old man is the most pitiful, and it’s all my fault for being such a scumbag!

I whispered "breathing fragrance" all the way, and Uncle Li turned around to look at me after a while. I was still thinking that my voice was so low that he shouldn't be able to hear me. Just when my heart was trembling, he said something : "Sit down, miss. You keep moving around. This horse is also uncomfortable. It has pushed me several times."

amount……

Okay, this is the problem that has been causing trouble for a long time. I quickly sat up straight.

About a quarter of an hour later, I heard the sound of opera singers not far away, and knew that my second grandmother's house was coming soon. I reminded Gao Xinci who was beside me. Gao Xinci straightened his clothes and looked very energetic. .

Uncle Li led the horse to the entrance of the small courtyard. Several servants from Mistress's courtyard rushed forward to help us get off the horse. I glanced back and saw "The Flower of the Emperor" was singing on the stage at the entrance of the courtyard. ”, but the Second Grandma was nowhere to be seen in the seats in front of the stage. Before I asked, Aunt Cui, who often followed the Second Grandma, had already spoken and told me that the Second Grandma was tired and had gone back to the house to rest.

"Then the second grandma is not here, why are they still singing? Why don't they take a break?" I asked.

Aunt Cui smiled lightly: "Miss, as long as this play starts to be sung, it cannot be stopped even if it catches fire in the middle. This is a rule, but it is the rule of other theater troupes, not our courtyard. We also want to Let people rest."

Aunt Cui's words cleared up my doubts and made me less embarrassed.

I nodded and showed the box in my hand to Aunt Cui.

"My cousin asked me to bring this as a gift to Second Grandma. I wonder if I can send it in now. Is it convenient for Second Grandma?"

"It's convenient. The children are here. No matter what time it is, my wife is willing to meet them." Aunt Cui took the box in my hand and asked someone to take me into the yard.

I felt a little uncomfortable hearing what Aunt Cui said, "My wife is willing to see the children when they come." Aren't her children also willing? sure? I smiled bitterly.

I was led through the door by the servant.

The second grandma's yard is an enclosed layout, which occupies not a large area. The carved doors and windows look very simple and simple, giving rise to a depressing atmosphere inexplicably, which is somewhat similar to the second grandma's own temperament.

It is said that the entire courtyard was designed by the second uncle himself, and the materials were specially selected by the second uncle. Sure enough, the son knew his own mother. It is said that when the second uncle invited the second grandma to visit her new yard, the second grandma was very angry. She almost didn't stand up. You must know that she was already paralyzed at that time. She was so angry that she almost performed a medical miracle. But we don't know the specific reason for the quarrel, and we don't dare to ask. Just ask. Looking for a fight, I only remember that when the old man told me about this matter, he laughed so hard that he couldn’t breathe. He said that the second mistress didn’t admit her own character, so I didn’t know the rest. Ah, yes, yes, yes, I have no idea.

I pulled Gao Xinci and followed the young lady who led the way through small flower beds and lotus ponds. After passing several thresholds, we arrived at the backyard open-air teahouse where my second mistress often stayed.

The second grandma is still the same, sitting in a wheelchair looking at the sky in the distance and the wild flowers blooming in the mountains. She is wearing a hand-woven dark blue cheongsam with a small blanket covering her legs. Such a hot summer is no exception. I look at it from the side and behind Looking at her is like looking at a painting, it is so beautiful.

But it soon became less beautiful. An out-of-place figure broke into such a beautiful landscape painting, and I recognized this person at a glance.

"Uncle Qi?"

I couldn't help but read out loud, and Gao Xinci also looked towards the man in suit and ties like me.

Qi Cheng came out of Second Grandma's room and personally handed her a cup of tea. Unfortunately, I stopped him before the cup of tea was delivered to Second Grandma.

Qi Cheng looked back at me with a somewhat flustered look, but soon he returned to his previous demeanor around his second uncle, upright and serious.

"Miss, the second master assigned me to come over to check on the business here and see how my wife is doing."

Business? What kind of business? If there was really any business, my second uncle would have come in person. A few days ago, my cousin told me that my second uncle was so idle that he had to teach him archery. Qi Cheng was really telling lies.

"Uncle Qi, I haven't asked yet." I smiled.

Qi Cheng was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

I probably guessed something, but after all, Qi Cheng is not working under me. Even if I expose him in person, it will not do me any good, so I said nothing and just smiled. Go up to the Second Grandma.

"Second Grandma."

"Hey, isn't this the girl from the boss's family? She is also a rare visitor. Is there something serious?"

The second grandma glanced at me. There was no dissatisfaction or surprise in her eyes, but she didn't have the usual kindness when an elder meets a younger one. I don't know if it was because we were not related by blood, or because I had discovered a traitor.

The second grandma is also really calm.

I am also calm.

"Second Grandma, I don't have anything serious to do. My cousin misses you. Knowing that I will come to the old house to live for a while, he asked me to bring you something." I asked Aunt Cui to open the box.

The second mistress took the silk scarf out of the box with two fingers, took one look at it, and then casually put it aside.

"This kid always comes up with useless things to fool me." The second grandma's eyes moved into the distance again.

"You can't say that. No matter what I do, my cousin will always be filial to my second grandma, right?"

"Girl, do you have anything else to do?"

A cold word and a straightforward order to expel guests are really the style of the second mistress.

"No, then I'll leave first."

I bowed lightly to the second grandma and Qi Cheng, turned around and left with Gao Xinci, but I didn’t know whether the second grandma couldn’t hold back her anger, or whether she was telling me on purpose. I couldn’t even pass the first threshold. Before he could step out, the second grandmother's questioning voice came from behind.

"When did I say that I could let that girl into my yard?"

"The second wife said that as long as the children come, she is willing to see them at any time, right?"

"Okay, you are very good. My good son is really patient."

The voice that spoke to the second grandma was Aunt Cui. It turned out that she was the second uncle's. She had been with the second grandma for so many years and had been getting along day and night, but the second grandma didn't find out until today. She should be surprised too, judging by her tone of voice. Although he was still calm, the resentment in him was almost squeezed out of the yard.

However, she and her second uncle are on an equal footing, right? She has placed Qi Cheng beside her second uncle, and his second uncle has placed Aunt Cui beside her. They are truly a mother and son.

"Do you want to tell your second uncle?" Gao Xinci patted me behind me.

I smiled bitterly, not knowing whether I should talk more. Even if I should talk more, what should I say? Should I just tell my second uncle that Qi Cheng has rebelled?

But I saw Qi Cheng in Second Grandma’s yard. If I really said that, wouldn’t I be blatantly telling Second Uncle that I knew the relationship between mother and son was not on good terms? I can't get any benefits.

But if I don't say anything, when Aunt Cui tells the second uncle, or when Qi Cheng goes to plead guilty to the second uncle, no matter if any of them mentions my doubts about Qi Cheng being here, the second uncle will not let me go. You know, The second uncle, like Lao Fu, is also a very suspicious person.

"It's too deliberate..." I tightened Gao Xinci's hand.

I don’t know what happened to me in this life. I seem to have become suspicious. I wasn’t like this before. My life was quite easy at that time, but I can’t always be like that. I can’t give myself the ending of my previous life. A heads up? People will be stupid to death by themselves, so I have to think more when something happens.

"Xin Ci, please think of a way for me." I looked at Gao Xinci pitifully.

I can only believe and rely on him unconditionally. I don’t dare to believe anyone else, not even the second uncle who saved my life.

Gao Xinci thought for a while and then looked back at me.

"Does your cousin know about this?"

"what?"

I was stunned for a moment, but I quickly came to my senses.

My cousin probably doesn't know about the connection between Qi Cheng, Aunt Cui and the second grandma, otherwise he would never ask me to get involved, so I would just start with him.

I quickly sent a message to my cousin: "Brother, why didn't you tell me that Uncle Qi was coming to the old house? If I knew, I would have asked him to send me here! You don't know, this broken mountain road There were so many twists and turns that Uncle Li didn’t know which driver he called to pick me up. His skills were so poor that I almost got motion sickness even if I didn’t get motion sickness. I was so angry.”
