www.lnmao.org, the fastest update is the latest chapter of "Suddenly Yandere"!
Mrs. Lin finally got a handle on Yu Xiang. Even if she offered to send her to live alone in the countryside, the old lady and Yu Pinyan couldn't say anything. How could a daughter be so eager to embezzle her mother's dowry? In other words, if even her mother's dowry can be misappropriated, what else can stop her greed?
Such poor conduct is enough to make Yu Xiang unable to lift his head! Even if the old lady and Yu Pinyan insist on protecting her, she won't be able to be arrogant in the future!
The more she thought about it, the more proud she became. She walked quickly and arrived at the entrance of the main courtyard in the blink of an eye, with Yu Miaoqi following closely behind.
Nanny Ma, who was standing on the porch, saw the two of them and quickly entered the house, saying in a low voice, "Old madam, they are indeed here."
"Hmph~" The old lady gently twisted the beads and spoke slowly, "I only waited an hour to find it. I was so impatient. I'm afraid I didn't even look at the account books at the back."
Mama Ma lowered her head and did not dare to answer, knowing that there would be a noise in the room later, so she winked at Wan Qiu, suggesting that she should get rid of all the idle people.
"It's making trouble, making trouble, how many troubles have been caused in the two days since I came back? Let me count." The old lady put down the prayer beads and pinched her fingers to count, her smile became colder, "He is indeed a mourning star, take it back. There is no peace in the family. I thought she could persuade Mrs. Lin to calm down, but I didn’t expect her to be even more restless. She only wants to fight for favor and family property. Isn’t Lin’s pampering enough for her? She also dares to target the family property. Where did you put my Yan'er? If I had known this, I shouldn't have taken her back in the first place."
The old lady shook her head and sighed.
Mother Ma comforted her softly, "You are not that hard-hearted. How could you see your granddaughter wandering around and not pick her up? She is also young and frivolous. You wake her up and then slowly train her. , a new look can be cut out within a year or two."
"Teaching her? With her inferior character, it will be useless even if I teach her for hundreds of years. This is because of a bad root, and she got the true inheritance of the Lin family. After all, it is all my fault. , It’s my fault that I didn’t know people well back then, so I welcomed such an unknown person into the door, and gave birth to a baby boy, which made the family no longer peaceful.” The more the old lady talked, the more frustrated she became, and she just waited for Mr. Lin to come in. Cook her.
Mama Ma was about to chat when Wan Qiu announced outside the door, "Old madam, madam and the second young lady are here. They say they have something urgent to see you."
"Let them in." The old lady waved her hand with a very impatient tone.
The two of them greeted each other slowly after entering the house.
"Come on, if you have any questions, just tell me, don't salute me, I'm afraid of shortening my life."
Before Lin made a complaint, the old lady scowled angrily, and she hesitated for a moment. Yu Miaoqi knew that she had no room to interrupt at this moment, so she picked up a stool and sat down, and secretly tugged on Lin's sleeves.
Ms. Lin quickly calmed down, sat down next to her daughter, and said, "Mom, let's wait until Yan'er and Yu Xiang arrive. This is a serious matter, and I'm afraid someone will say that I wronged her behind her back."
The old lady laughed angrily and asked, "Do you want to call Siyu too? Since the matter is serious, I simply ask the whole family to listen."
"That's fine." Lin was still a little guilty, but thinking about those account books that had been emptied out one after another, she felt a rare moment of strength.
The old lady waved her hand to Wan Qiu to call someone, then closed her eyes and twisted the beads.
Nanny Ma, who was standing by the door, looked at the mother and daughter with a look that was both pity and ridicule, and then lowered her head to reduce her presence. Even the Marquis was summoned, and this was not the way to seek death. Fourteen years of seclusion have drained away all his shrewdness and ability, leaving only a head full of mush.
You can hear the quiet needle drop in the hall, and the light and elegant Buddhist fragrance lingers in the air. The smell should be refreshing, but it makes people feel a bit depressed for no reason. Yu Miaoqi rubbed her chest, feeling a subtle but unignorable feeling of unease in her heart.
You clearly promised to take your time and slowly gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion, but you took away the power of the family the next day and then competed with Yu Xiang. Is it too much? I'm afraid this eating appearance may look ugly to others, right?
Her heart skipped a beat, and she realized that she had been blinded by jealousy and had made the wrong move. It should be slower, at least after winning over the old lady and Yu Pinyan. However, even after it has come, we can only carry out our mistakes to the end. Yu Xiang's fault was simply greater, and the old lady and Yu Pinyan knew that there was no way to condone it.
If you can even take Lin's dowry, then the middle-aged man must also embezzle a lot. If I had thought of this earlier, I should have read all the accounts of the central government and brought them over together.
The more Yu Miaoqi thought about it, the more mistakes she made. Her rosy face gradually began to turn pale, and she couldn't help but pinch the purse around her waist.
The sound of tearing and tearing caused the old lady to open her eyes and look, raising her eyebrows and saying, "Have you finally worn this peace charm?"
"Grandma gave me something, so naturally I should carry it with me. I was wearing it before, but I was a little reluctant to part with it. Who knew this one was worn out, so why wouldn't Grandma ask me for a new one? Grandma loves her granddaughter with all her heart. Don’t dare or forget.”
These words are so sweet that they can drip with honey. The old lady's face showed no joy at all, she only looked at her with a gloomy, depressing, and creepy gaze.
Yu Miaoqi lowered her head as if she had been electrocuted, and her heartbeat suddenly beat as fast as a thunder drum. She vaguely realized that she had said the wrong thing, but she couldn't find a clue after thinking about it. Could it be that the old lady already knew that I burned the peace charm, so she tested me several times?
The thought made her breath stop as soon as it emerged. In this way, it will be very difficult to win over the old lady in the future! I am afraid that in her mind, I am already a duplicitous, hypocritical and pretentious character! Wrong, wrong, wrong, why is every step wrong? Is this step wrong again?
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Miaoqi seemed to be sitting on a nail board, wishing she could fly away.
At this moment, Yu Xiang was pushed into the door by two girls and nodded to several people one by one.
Mrs. Lin snorted coldly and looked at her like a sharp knife. The old lady patted the soft couch beside her and called, "Xian'er, come and sit with our ancestors."
The two girls carried her onto the soft couch and adjusted her skirts.
Yu Xiang leaned on the kang table, turning the small kang screen with one hand and holding her chin with the other, and asked lazily, "Ancestor, what happened at home? I was getting ready to take a nap, and now I can't keep my eyes open. Open."
She blinked her black and white cat eyes, a few strands of water vapor clinging to her thick eyelashes, looking both innocent and cute. The old lady rubbed her head and said, "Let's wait until your brothers and sisters come. Your mother has something big to announce."
The old lady's tone seemed calm, but in fact there was a sinister chill hidden in it, causing Lin and Yu Miaoqi to move uneasily.
Yu Xiang nodded, moved the plate of peanuts on the kang table closer to her, and started peeling them. He didn't even eat it after peeling it off, he just raised his red lips and blew off the red inner layer, leaving the round peanuts behind.
In the quiet hall, the only sound for a moment was the crunching sound of peanut shells breaking, and the crimson wrappings rolled up and fell to the ground, like a light snowfall. The cold and solemn atmosphere quietly dissipated amidst the bursts of crisp sounds.
The old lady looked at her granddaughter who was working heartlessly, and her stern face softened slightly. She also saw her stuffing a handful of peanuts that she had worked so hard to peel into her hands, and persuaded herself to eat them quickly, even if He smiled and pinched her cheek lovingly. Although Yu Miaoqi is her biological granddaughter, she is not as good as the one she raised by her own hands, and there is a layer of emotional separation between her.
At this moment, Yu Miaoqi finally realized that it was impossible for her to get over Yu Xiang and please the old lady. There was originally a chance the day she came back, but she burned the old lady's peace charm and burned the gentle image she had worked so hard to build beyond recognition.
The blame lies in not clarifying the situation in the Hou Mansion. Mrs. Lin is not the mistress of the family, but her position is awkward, neither above nor below. Except for Grandma Jin, everyone else in her small courtyard might have become the spies of the old lady and Yu Xiang.
It’s just that the husband is dead, but it’s like the sky is falling. It’s really useless!
The more Yu Miaoqi thought about it, the more she hated her, and she also hated Mrs. Lin.
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Nanny Jin was ordered to invite the Marquis. Now she was standing at the door of the study tremblingly. Just when she was about to open her mouth, she was frozen by the cold and indifferent eyes of the Marquis. She quickly lowered her head and caught a glimpse of the portraits in the room from the corner of her eye. , the tip of my heart trembled hard.
She is very familiar with the people in the painting. They are all Yu Xiang's extremely bright faces. From the age of ten to fourteen, they are crying, laughing, happy, sad, sitting or lying down, with various expressions. The posture is so vivid and lifelike, and there is a strong feeling of attachment flowing out from each stroke, which even people who don't know how to appreciate at all can't ignore it.
Nanny Jin thought that her master wanted to deal with Yu Xiang today, so she asked the Marquis to come and make a decision. She was afraid that she would not be able to do so. Not only can't he get what he wants, but he will definitely have to put a gap between him and the Marquis. Mother and son are not close at all, and may develop into a quarrel with each other in the future.
Thinking about this, she regretted it more and more. However, her master had a destiny and had to obey, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue to wait.
Yu Pinyan stood behind the desk, with an unfinished portrait spread out in front of him. A pair of beautiful eyes had already shown a brilliant light under his repeated sketches, leaving only a little bit of cherry lips that had not been colored.
He diluted the cinnabar, dipped it on the paper next to it and tried the color. If he thought it was still too rich, he diluted it a little more. After trying the color again and again, he dared to lightly apply the appropriate shade of cinnabar on the small mouth of the cherry. superior. The small mouth that he had rubbed countless times with his fingertips in real life was also so tempting in the painting that he couldn't take his eyes away.
He stared at it for a while, waiting until the paint on the tip of the pen was almost dry before he looked at Aunt Jin and asked, "What's the matter?"
Nanny Jin shook her head and whispered, "Back to the Marquis, Madam, please go to the main courtyard and say that we have something important to discuss."
"No." Yu Pinyan refused very simply. As he said this, he dipped his pen into the pen wash and stirred it.
Nanny Jin took a deep breath and continued, "Back to Mr. Marquis, it concerns Miss Third, please be sure to..."
Before she could finish speaking, the handsome young man had already put down his pen and walked away with his hands behind his back. He glanced at her lightly as he passed by. There was no trace of popularity in his deep eyes, which seemed to have been tempered for countless light years. The storm is about to come, cold and severe.
Nanny Jin really regretted it. She shrunk her head and followed him fearfully. Seeing that the main courtyard was approaching, she actually felt a lot of timidity.
