Chapter 98

That night, Dongfang Lan and Yu Wenqing continued to keep watch.

Mrs. Dongfang was very worried and called Liu Yuehua into the room.After shouting, I didn't know what to order.The two were silent for a long time, Liu Yuehua broke the calm first, "Auntie, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Yuehua, are you free tonight?"

"Well, Auntie has something to tell me."

"Then you go to guard the spirit for the Second Young Master. You see, he was also tired for a long time, busy in and out."

Liu Yuehua paid attention to Mrs. Dongfang's expression, saw her hesitant to speak, extremely disturbed, and asked speculatively: "Auntie is worried about something."

"No, I didn't." Her eagerness to defend made Liu Yuehua even more suspicious.She rubbed her hands vigorously, as if she wanted to deny something.

"Auntie." Liu Yuehua called softly, with a kind and dependable smile on her face. "What's the matter, just tell me, I'm a nephew, others can't be trusted, don't you trust me anymore?" With these words of proposing marriage, Mrs. Dongfang let go of everything in her heart, let alone her now She desperately needs someone to listen to her, the emotions in her heart.

"How could I not believe in you, Yuehua, you are like my own son, if nothing happened later, you and Lan'er would have been married long ago, and you definitely have no regrets today."

Liu Yuehua said cautiously: "Auntie don't have to be angry about me. It's been ten years since this matter happened. No matter how much I don't want to part with it, there's nothing I can do about it. There's nothing I can do about it. My cousin and I don't have a good relationship, so I can't blame others." He shook his head, lamenting that his fate was bad, and he was not blessed to marry Dongfang Lan, but Mrs. Dongfang supported him.

"Don't talk about Yuehua like that, it's because I didn't try my best to stop it back then. If I persisted for a while, you would have returned by then, and you wouldn't marry Lan'er to the Shangshu Mansion." Liu Yuehua listened to these words. Feeling remorseful, she said in her heart, "What exactly happened, how auntie regretted it, shouldn't it be..."

"Auntie doesn't need to blame herself, everything is God's will. It's just that my family is harmonious now, and seeing my cousin alone, I really can't bear it. I have one thing to let my aunt know, the second son of Shangshufu..."

Madam Dongfang interrupted in horror, "Second Young Master, what?"

Liu Yuehua became even more suspicious, "Auntie also knows?"

Mrs. Dongfang slapped her thigh wanting to cry but without tears, "Shame on me, even you know that Lan'er and Second Young Master have feelings for each other."

These words were like a bombshell, and Liu Yuehua's face was blackened.He didn't move for a while, and asked uncertainly: "Auntie, are you kidding me? Or are you telling the truth?"

"I don't have the time to joke with you. I'm almost dying of anxiety now. The master is gone. I didn't expect such a thing to happen to Lan'er. If others know about it, I won't even dare to leave the gate."

"Does my aunt have conclusive evidence?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Liu Yuehua said: "My aunt is old, so there are some mistakes. If this is the case, we should find a way. The cousin is confused, so we should help her go back to the original path. I know that the Shangshu Mansion is now looking for the second son. Zhang Luo's marriage, this marriage is also a matter of time, regardless of the situation, if the second young lady enters the door, there will be nothing to do with Lan'er. She is a young widow who is unemployed and has nothing to do under her knees. You son, the two old men in the Shangshu Mansion hold her in their hands, but it is Lan'er, who is worse than a poor girl. There is an old saying: There are three unfilial acts, and the greatest is to have no descendants."

Every sentence of Liu Yuehua's truth pierced Mrs. Dongfang's heart.She sighed: "So, what should be done, what should be done."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I have a suggestion for this matter. How about this? Let's secretly visit a reliable family and tell them about Lan'er. If they don't dislike Lan'er's widowhood, there will be some merits in this matter." Be sure, discuss it with Master Yuwen in your capacity, I don't think he is a ruthless person who delays Lan'er's happiness in vain, what does Auntie think?"

Mrs. Dongfang felt that Liu Yuehua's analysis was quite reasonable, "It's just..." She hesitated, "It's a second marriage, no one would dislike it. If there is someone who knows the basics, it’s okay, but if there is someone who is not good, then things will get worse and worse, and her father just left, and she has to observe filial piety for at least three years, even if there is such a family, I’m afraid I can’t wait.”

"If you really like your cousin, I'm afraid it's okay to wait for three years."

Mrs. Dongfang stared at Liu Yuehua earnestly, Liu Yuehua knew it well, and he asked knowingly: "What reliable candidate does Auntie think of?"

"Yuehua, what if it was you? Would you dislike Lan'er's second marriage?"

Liu Yuehua retreated and said: "Auntie, you are making a big joke, why did it come to me? It's not like you don't know that I'm married. If Lan'er gets married, she will be an ordinary wife at most. If Yang Qing No way, you can only lift it to a concubine, so much wronged Lan'er."

"I just ask you, are you willing?"

"If my aunt insists on doing this, my nephew will not dare to disobey her order, for fear of wronging my cousin."

"It's okay, if you are willing in your heart. I am relieved. After a hundred years, Lan'er will always have someone to take care of her. This woman has no man to protect her. She will have to be wronged. With a reliable person like you in front of me, this is another Not too bad."

"I have to ask my cousin about this."

Mrs. Dongfang said: "I will ask her when I have time, but if you agree, you will always have to wait for your uncle's filial piety to pass. At least it will take three years. Are you willing to wait for three years?"

"Auntie said this and then she met someone else. I have been waiting for more than three years."

Only then did Mrs. Dongfang feel relieved, "With you here, I'm always at ease."

"Yes, thank you aunt for trusting me."

Liu Yuehua never thought that things would have such an unexpected ending. She thought that Mrs. Dongfang had misunderstood Dongfang Lan and Yu Wenqing and got him a bargain. , but also the benefits, how often do such lucrative deals happen in the world.

The next day, Dongfang Qing was buried.Everyone was busy for a while longer, the funeral in Dongfang Mansion ended in a regular manner, and everyone went back to their respective homes.Liu Yuehua took the whole family into the carriage, Madam Dongfang said: "Be careful on the road."

Liu Yuehua let the carriage go first, and he rode on the horse, majestic and even a little high-spirited. "Auntie, take care of yourself. If you need anything, just ask Weber to send me a letter."

"Okay, let's go, don't keep the children waiting."

Liu Yuehua said to Dongfang Lan immediately: "Cousin, we will meet later."

"Cousin, go slowly."

Liu Yuehua pulled the reins of the horse and rode on.It's just that his body is not as strong as before, and he wants to show the chicness of his youth, which has been greatly reduced. Even Yu Wenqing was very worried when he saw it, and whispered: "Mr. Liu was so handsome just now, did he show his waist? "

Dongfang Lan said: "Stop worrying about other people and tidy up."

"Will sister-in-law go back with me?"

"You go back first, I still have something to say to my mother."

Yu Wenqing was a little disappointed, she said: "Okay, protect yourself. Ayun, lead the carriage." Ayun went and pulled the carriage out. Yu Wenqing had nothing to pack, got on the carriage and waved to Mrs. Dongfang, "My mother Take care, Auntie, if you have anything to say, just ask Weber to bring a letter."

Mrs. Dongfang has a heart disease, she responded to Yu Wenqing's words with embarrassment on her face.She doesn't intend to be Yu Wenqing's mother-in-law.The wagon wheel turned, ran over the long mark on the ground, and slowly pulled it out for a long time.Yu Wenqing in the carriage stuck his head out of the car window, "Sister-in-law is back safely."

"Understood, go back quickly, don't make parents wait."

"Okay." Seeing the two saying goodbye repeatedly, Mrs. Dongfang felt very uncomfortable. She entered the room first, and said to Dongfang Lan when she left: "Lan'er, come in for me."

Dongfang Lan arrived shortly thereafter, and Mrs. Dongfang brought her to Dongfang Qing's memorial tablet. With a serious face, she said, "Kneel down!"

"mother?"

"I make you kneel."

"Yes."

Dongfang Lan lifted her skirt and knelt in front of her father's tablet.

Mrs. Dongfang said: "I have something to ask you today, you must tell the truth, if there is a lie, the sky will be struck by thunder."

"Mother, why is it so serious?"

"Don't ask, just repeat what I said."

Dongfang Lan had no choice but to swear to the sky with three fingers up. "I, Lan'er, will tell the truth. If there is a false statement, the sky will be struck by lightning."

Mrs. Dongfang said: "Okay, now I will ask you in front of your father's spiritual seat, do you have any bad feelings with the second young master?"

"No."

Mrs. Dongfang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the answer. "Lan'er, don't blame my mother for thinking about it. You are too close to the second son, so you can't help but doubt it. My mother also knows that you are wronged, so she chooses another marriage for you. After three years, I will go and marry you." Tell your father-in-law to let him set you free, so you don’t have to be a widow anymore.”

Dongfang Lan shouted: "Mother, how can you make decisions on me casually."

"Since ancient times, it's the order of your parents and the words of a matchmaker. And your cousin doesn't dislike your second marriage. You two had affection at first, and now things are going on. It's best to be together again."

"Father has just left, and mother thinks it is appropriate for her to say this. Even if my cousin agrees, I will never agree."

"Don't talk about your father. Mother is thinking about you. If the second son gets married and the second young lady gives birth to a young son, you won't even have a foothold in the Shangshu Mansion. Everything depends on others. Mother doesn't want you so hard."

"Mother, don't make me so miserable. I have hands and feet, and I can support myself."

"What can you do as a woman, not to mention that you have never suffered a little since you were a child. Mother does not ask you to marry any emperor or prince, but only asks you to have a safe and happy life. Lan'er, please understand Mother's painstaking efforts."

"My own life is my own decision. Thank you for your concern. Mother, take care. I have to leave beforehand." Dongfang Lan stood up and left without saying a soft word. Mrs. Dongfang kept calling behind her.

"Lan'er, Lan'er..."

Dongfang Lan felt sore in her heart, and really wanted to go back right away.Why did the marriage go wrong once, and the mother wanted to be naive for the second time, why did the cousin follow the mother to mess around?

This world really disappointed her, and made her want to escape.

She went back to the house and called Peony, "Peony, Peony."

"Miss, you are called a slave."

Peony came in from the outside.

"Yes, let's pack up and go back to the Shangshu Mansion."

"So fast?" Even Peony couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it's best right away." Her mother's words made her heartbroken.

The author has something to say: Qing'er rushes forward.

See you in the next chapter.

The rumor about Lan'er was known to the Shang Shufu.Mrs. Yuwen immediately suggested to "suspend someone", but Yuwen Palace disagreed. At the same time, this wind blew to the Imperial College, and Qing'er was ridiculed. Li Yue kindly comforted her, but Huangfu Jingyi was so jealous that she wanted to single out Qing'er...
