Minglan smiled and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I'm just telling the truth. If this junior has any inappropriate words, please don't blame me. Just point it out and I will definitely change it next time!"

Mrs. Wang looked kind-hearted, secretly exhaled, and finally felt a little more comfortable, and said loudly: "My in-laws don't have to worry about my family. All the girls in my family, no more, no less, just got married last month! Now the Lao Sheng family

The only one who is waiting for marriage is my fat granddaughter who is more than ten days old, and she is still very early to get married."

After saying that, there was a burst of laughter in the room. Seeing that the atmosphere had relaxed, the female relatives quickly started laughing and joking.

Mrs. Yuan looked at Ru Lan who was showing her teeth and was about to scold, and then at Ming Lan who had a warm look on her face. One of them was in a bad situation, and the other was a smiling tiger. She knew that she would never get away with it today, so she simply stopped talking; because she was angry in her heart, and she even

He didn't stay for lunch, he only complained that he had a headache and felt unwell. When all the female guests saw that the Yuan family had issued an eviction order, they all left one after another.

Minglan watched with cold eyes and saw that many of the female guests were slightly dissatisfied, and a few simply made sarcastic remarks, knowing that Mrs. Yuan's popularity was not very good.

As expected, brother-in-law Wen came to pick up Ru Lan. Ming Lan suspected that he had been secretly waiting nearby and came specifically to make Ru Lan look good. Under the envious eyes of everyone, Ru Lan left happily and proudly, just as Ming Lan was about to leave too.

, suddenly a boy from the Yuan family came to deliver a message:

"The second master said that he will come back with Governor Gu in a while. I just heard today that Mr. Bo's wife is ill, so I asked Mrs. Gu to stay for a while until the second master and the governor return home."

Visiting a sick person."

Bo Tianzhou has been in semi-retirement since he returned the military talisman. He has been living in a village on the outskirts of Beijing to take care of himself, which is close to Uncle Zhongqin's house. Minglan pondered for a moment, then went to see Mrs. Yuan and said with a smile: "This is amazing.

What to do?”

Mrs. Wang quickly added firewood: "If it's inconvenient for my wife, my Minglan can wait at the door."

Mrs. Yuan was very angry today, and she almost suffered from cerebral hemorrhage. If Minglan really waited at the door today, then the Yuan family would become the laughing stock of the whole capital tomorrow. She gritted her teeth again and again, and finally endured it.

He yelled at the girl next to him: "Why don't you prepare tea for Mrs. Gu!"

…

14th floor

Minglan walked slowly back to Hualan's house. Hualan had already believed it. She smiled and asked her sister to sit next to her. While asking the maid to serve tea and fruit snacks, she kept asking Minglan how she would be after her marriage. After Minglan heard

Hualan Napa covered the corners of her eyes and was happy for her. When Minglan mentioned the troubles, she gave her some bad advice. The two sisters talked affectionately for a long time.

Minglan looked around, motioned Cui Chan to go to the door to look, and whispered: "Sister, what's going on? Are you really not going to say anything? Since Mrs. He told you about important matters, are you going to

You will neglect yourself during pregnancy."

Hua Lan was stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly moistened. Remembering that a mother who gave birth could not cry, she quickly held it back and choked out: "I knew...it's just other people, but you, I can't hide it."

"What's going on!"

Hua Lan suddenly said loudly: "Cuichan, go and fetch Brother Shi, and then bring Sister Zhuang; Sister Yin, keep a close eye on the doors and windows!"

There was a response from outside.

Hua Lan held Minglan's hand tightly, her voice choked with sobs: "That, that... that damn old woman! She is so deceiving! Ever since I became pregnant, she has proposed that Brother Shi should be raised in her house.

!”

"Really?" Minglan exclaimed.

Hua Lan said bitterly: "In ordinary people, it is common for grandmothers to raise grandchildren; but, but...that damn old woman has been deliberately teasing me, how can I rest assured?!...Your brother-in-law also refused, so he just kept procrastinating.

It was so perfunctory that two months ago, this damn old woman suddenly pretended to be sick, and even found a Taoist woman. She kept telling her that Brother Shi's horoscope was very popular with her, and if she wanted to get better, Brother Shi must be raised in the house.

You can't be around her! How can your brother-in-law resist when the big hat of 'filial piety' is pulled off?!"

Ming Lan was silent, this move is so shameless!

The attack happened when Hualan was at her weakest. She didn't know whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl. Brother Shi was Hua Lan's only son. Taking Brother Shi away, Hualan had to worry day and night about how to take good care of the fetus.

"How dare she disobey her mother-in-law's orders?"

Hua Lan wiped her tears and continued with a sad expression: "I don't know how I spent those two months. Whenever I closed my eyes, I dreamed that something happened to Brother Shi. I couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep.

, almost going crazy!”

Ming Lan felt pity and held Hua Lan's hand and stroked it gently. Although she knew that Mrs. Yuan might not be harmful to her grandson, if there was an emergency, could she still ask her grandmother to pay for her grandson's life? It was just an oversight.

It's over, this mute will definitely suffer the consequences.

"About ten days ago, there was a sudden noise in the front yard. When I asked, I almost died." Hua Lan looked bleak, "The evil-hearted mother-in-law actually let Brother Shi take a nap alone without leaving anyone to watch. They

They all went outside to drink tea and chat! Brother Shi is now very good at crawling. After he woke up, he crawled all over the bed. There was a smoker placed next to the bed. The child didn't know it, so he knocked over the smoker and rolled it down.

Under the bed, the ashes from the incense burner fell on Brother Shi!"

"Ah!" Minglan exclaimed, "Are you hurt?!"

"My poor brother, I cried for a long time and no one paid attention to me." Hua Lan's voice was full of fear and she trembled, "Fortunately, Sister Zhuang..."

"What's wrong, Sister Guanzhuang?"

Hua Lan felt a sense of shame on her face: "...It's all my fault. I only cared about my brother Shi and neglected her. This child knew that I was worried about him, so he often left her wet nurse and sneaked to the front yard every day.

Look at her brother, she is young and not alert to others, so no one notices her. When her wet nurse came to complain, I was upset and scolded her severely. That day, Sister Zhuang ran away secretly again, and she heard

Brother Shi was crying in the room, so she quickly ran in and saw her brother rolling on the ground crying, with blisters all over his head and face! Sister Zhuang couldn't hold her brother, so she had to put her brother's body on fire.

All the ashes were dusted off, but her hands were burned in several places...Ah, come in quickly, Sister Zhuang, come and see your sixth aunt!"

A little girl ran in hurriedly. Minglan hugged her and kissed her hard on the forehead: "Good boy, ask aunt to look at your hands."

Sister Zhuang's childish face also showed the fear that only adults have. She timidly stretched out her two little hands. There were several dark rose-colored spots on the short white fingertips. The little girl retracted her fingers shyly,

A childish voice: "Aunt, I don't feel any pain anymore. My brother is so hot."

Minglan hurriedly looked at the boy in Cuichan's arms. He was sleeping soundly. On his delicate and fair face, he saw an alarming red swelling on his forehead, which should have come from a fall. Along his right eyebrow and down his cheek,

There was a row of tiny crimson burn scars, the most shocking of which was right on his right eyelid! If there had been an emergency, one of his eyes would have been damaged!

The boy seemed to be awake and whined twice. Sister Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward and patted her brother twice, coaxing her baby in a sweet voice: "Be good, be good..." The little boy seemed to know that it was his sister's voice.

, fell asleep again.

Minglan felt distressed for a while and couldn't bear it anymore. She hugged Sister Zhuang hard and her tears couldn't stop flowing down. Hualan looked at the two children and felt sad. She lay on the bedside and cried muffledly.

After getting up, Cuichan quickly handed the boy to the wet nurse next to her, and hurriedly helped Hua Lan to wipe her tears, saying repeatedly: "Second Grandma, you must not cry, this will make you suffer for the rest of your life!"

Minglan quickly wiped her tears, picked up Sister Zhuang, and said with pride: "Good boy, you can take care of your mother's worries and save your younger brother. You are a very good daughter and a very good sister. Aunt Six is ​​very proud of you."

You are happy! Don’t be afraid of bullying. You are the eldest daughter of the Yuan family and the eldest granddaughter of the Sheng family! Let’s see who dares to bully you!”

Sister Zhuang opened a small smile and nodded vigorously.

Cuichan took the two children out, and Minglan watched them go out. She turned around and said with a tearful smile: "My sister has raised her children very well. I will be lucky in the future! ... Well, what happened next?"

Hua Lan was also full of pride and smiled with relief. After calming down, she slowly said: "I feel guilty for being that damn old woman. Who would have thought that she would bite her back and say that Sister Zhuang knocked over the stove and was injured?"

It’s my brother’s fault! I’m going to punish Sister Zhuang!”

"Bullshit!" Minglan also swore, "Speaking of a thousand words, trouble will always happen when no one is waiting in the room. If someone is there, even if Sister Zhuang knocks over the stove, she won't be hurt.

Come on brother!"

"Who says otherwise!" Hua Lan smiled bitterly, "The house was in chaos. When your brother-in-law came back, he was so angry that he wanted to whip those women to death, but his mother stopped him and scolded him for being unfilial.

, and even said that he had to go to the ancestral hall to kneel to his ancestors! When the father-in-law found out, he immediately insulted those mothers-in-law and even sent them to the village to 'recuperate'; the mother-in-law didn't know where she learned the pickling trick, so she actually found a rope and wanted to hang herself.

, kept saying, 'There is no reason in the world to wait for a wife for the sake of a daughter-in-law', which made the father-in-law almost faint! This matter will be settled, and fortunately, I will finally come back..."

Minglan was speechless, and Hualan smiled slightly: "Your brother-in-law was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat when he saw Brother Shi's injuries. He was really angry and had nowhere to vent, so... haha," she laughed.

Weird, "That damn old woman sent seven or eight concubines to me. Your brother-in-law beat the two best ones that night, each with fifty blows, until they were half dead and threw away Uncle Zhongqin."

The gate of the mansion! Then they stripped the other two naked and made them kneel naked in the courtyard all night. They fell ill the next day and were moved out. The remaining ones are now very honest and even have their heads tied.

I don't dare to show it, for fear of making your brother-in-law angry."

Minglan laughed: "It's such a thing."

"After the dead old woman found out, she came to make another scene. I held a hairpin and pointed it at my throat. I said, 'If she dares to mention taking away my child again, I will die on the spot.'" She

I had no choice but to beat and scold her, until your brother-in-law's face was covered with injuries, and he couldn't go out to see anyone for several days."

After telling a thrilling story about the past, the two sisters were speechless for a long time, leaning head-to-head against each other, both feeling sad. After a long time, Hua Lan said: "When did this end? I'm scared all the time now.

What's wrong with her?"

"It's not that there is no way to cure it," Minglan said.

Hua Lan immediately stood up, her eyes were shining, she grabbed Minglan and shouted: "What can I do? Say it quickly! Say it quickly!"

Minglan was silent and silent. Hualan became anxious and kept asking questions, which made Minglan dizzy. Minglan wondered: "This is not a good thing, it's just a bad idea."

"What a bad idea! It's perfect for that old woman!" Hua Lan's eyes were blazing.

Minglan gritted her teeth, okay, the first large-scale conspiracy in her life had begun; she said: "Previously, I heard that something happened at home. My wife...she wanted to take a concubine for her eldest brother, and her eldest sister-in-law immediately asked

sick."

Hua Lan sarcastically said: "My younger siblings are so lucky. They are much better than me. They won't die even if they take concubines."

Minglan sighed in her heart, and could understand Hua Lan's mentality, and continued: "Not to mention that my brother was unwilling, my father also felt that my wife had nothing to do and was fooling around, so... ahem, he took in several girls from the same room."

Hua Lan seemed to understand a little and asked softly: "So...?"

Minglan spread her hands and said her final conclusion in embarrassment: "My wife has no time to take care of my sister-in-law now."

Hua Lan opened her eyes wide, she understood.

"Is this possible?" Hua Lan hesitated.

Minglan said calmly: "Is it possible that the Yuan family divorced your mother-in-law?"
