Chapter 39 Invitation
The old lady smiled coldly and said, "Don't argue. Brother Wen has a good character. How can he offend others in the court?" He stood up, stamped his feet, and said, "If it weren't for the reason of your Yun family, how could Brother Wen be implicated?"
"Ancestor, I respect you as an elder, but you can't say this to wrong me." Changping took a deep breath, had no expression in his eyes, and said, "Our Yun family is just a small business family. How can we have that ability?" Now that the matter is clear, she has nothing to take care of. "Since ancient times, merchants have never participated in the government, and their ancestors also know it."
"Hmm." The old lady snorted and said, "Brother Wen is your father-in-law. He is good and you are good. If something happens to him, what can you do?"
"What the old lady said is reasonable. What can I do if something happens to my father-in-law?" Changping hooked the corners of her mouth, turned around and left. The old lady was simply inexplicable.
My aunt hurried up, pulled Changping and said, "Ping'er, don't be annoyed. Tell your aunt, what's going on?" With that, he left with Changping.
After Changping left, Shen Ran stepped forward with a worried look on his face and said, "Don't worry, ancestors. I think this matter may really have nothing to do with her." His eyes turned a little red. "It's just a pity, my father-in-law. He is a weak scholar. What should he do in a place like that in prison?"
"Good boy, don't cry." The old lady looked a little gloomy, patted the table fiercely, and said angrily, "It's really against the sky. How can my He family repair such a daughter-in-law!" With that, he patted Shen Ran's hand and said, "Brother Wen must have been implicated by the Yun family." Looking at Shen Ran frowning and saying, "You were right before, the wealth of the Yun family may be the source of this matter." The old lady stared angrily, "Although my old lady doesn't know the government, she also knows that money can make ghosts." With that, he patted the bed fiercely and said, "He is the head of Yunfu, but he has an operation on my brother Wen!"
"Ancestor..." Shen Ran sighed, but for a moment, he didn't know what to sigh, sad and happy. On the one hand, she was sincerely worried about Ziwen, but on the other hand, she was really happy about the bad influence of Changping in the old lady's heart. He came to his senses and hurriedly said to the old lady, "However, ancestor, Even so, you can't treat her like this.
"What? Can't she be a junior?!" The old lady frowned and her anger surged a little.
"What can I say, my mother is my sister's aunt." Shen Ran squeezed his lips and said softly, "What's more, now you still need to rely on your sister for your father-in-law's affairs..." Shen Ran secretly looked at the old lady's increasingly ugly look, sighed and said, "Ancestor, Ran'er also knows that this is too unfilial to the old lady, but..." Ran'er can't help it. My sister doesn't like me. But the minister...the minister...he is innocent!" Some of them fell down in tears, and their shoulders shrugged, which was so pitiful.
"..." The old lady frowned. After a moment, she said calmly, "You're right. In Beijing, our He family really has nothing to rely on. We can only rely on the Yun family." There was some hatred in his speech, and he waved his hand decadently and said, "Well, you go and rest first. Brother Shuo has already gone to the prison with money. It should be good. You should relax first."
"But..."
"Okay, okay, go ahead, good boy, you have a heart." The old lady waved her hand again and lay down. Shen Ran answered, squeezed her lips and looked at the old lady again. Then she came out of the room, looked at the high crescent moon, sighed secretly, and walked in the garden in the moonlight.
"Miss, it's getting late. Please rest early." Fanghui couldn't help persuading.
Changping waved his hand and said, "But it's a little annoying to come out and turn around. It's okay." With that, he went to the garden. Because two things happened to the He family in a row, the garden seemed a little depressed at this time. It was not as prosperous as before. Only the lanterns in the distance hung high, and it seemed quiet here. Changping took the lantern from Anu's hand and carried it slowly in the garden, but his mood was There was a big difference just now, and it was very calm.
Maybe she should admit that she is really not very good at pleasing people.
"I didn't expect you to have such a good mood to visit the garden?"
The sudden voice stunned Changping for a moment. Then he realized it, smiled softly, turned his head, threw the petals in his hand into the flowers, clapped his hands and smiled, "Yes, the moonlight can always make people calm down."
"Is that so?" Shen Ran hooked the corners of his mouth without saying anything, looked up at the curved moon in the sky, squeezed his lips and said, "We haven't spoken so calmly for a long time."
Changping smiled, turned his head, squatted down, picked up a petal, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, "Moonlight, flower fragrance, beautiful scenery, it turned out to be a picturesque scenery, but it was always failed."
"This painting scene is also like the scene of the heart. If the heart scene is desolate, this scene is naturally a depressed scene. How can you see the beauty in the moonlight?" Shen Ran said lightly, but also squatted down, looked sideways at his long cheek and said, "We shouldn't have been like this, should we?"
"..." Changping knew what she meant. They came from the same place. In this distant place, they should have walked hand in hand, not tit-for-tat because of a man. Changping sighed, tilted his head, looked at her and nodded, "You're right. We shouldn't be like this."
"But why did you ruin my happiness?" Shen Ran lowered his eyes and whispered, "You already have Su Yu, don't you?" With that, he raised his head, looked at Changping's eyes and said calmly, "You are really a selfish person. Because of your selfishness, you have killed an innocent girl. Because of your selfishness, you have destroyed a man who loves you. Also because of your selfishness, you have put everyone in pain."
"..." Changping turned around, looked at the open flowers that were too delicate, and whispered, "Really... is that really the case?" With that, he looked at Shen Ran and said, "If it hadn't been for me, would the He family really agree to let Shen Ran be his wife?" Wouldn't that girl have died without me? No, it's just that you're deceiving yourself." With that, she shook her head, broke the delicate flowers on the branches, and said, "Look how beautiful this flower is and attractive it is. Did she do something wrong? She is not wrong, but she can't escape the fate of being broken. Why is that? Do you know?"
"..." Shen Ran didn't say anything.
Changping continued: "That girl is like this delicate flower. No matter how beautiful it is, the owner likes her, but it is not what she should need in the garden, so she can only give up." Changping's words were plain, but it made Shen Ran's face a little pale.
Yes, in those years, even without her, the old lady of the He family would not allow Shen Ran to become He Ziwen's wife. The He family looked down on the Shen family's bodyguard warrior background. Even if Shen Ran had never practiced martial arts, and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were omniprehensible, but she could not change her family background.
However, the Yun family is different. Although the Yun family is a business family, there are many people whose children of the clan moved out of the genealogy to become officials. It was suitable for the He family at that time. Therefore, the old lady of the He family agreed to this marriage. She just didn't want to admit it.
Changping tilted his head and looked at her pale cheeks in a trance. After a long time, he whispered, "Why do you have such a deep obsession with He Ziwen?" Yes, obsession, in Changping's view, what she did was too incredible.
Shen Ran stood up and turned away, leaving only three words, "I love him."
Just love you and let her do so many things... Changping sighed, looked at Shen Ran's back, and whispered, "If it's such love, then I don't want it."
For three days in a row, Changping received invitations from the third prince's mansion. Every day was just enjoying flowers and having fun. No one mentioned He Ziwen. Changping was waiting. She knew that in the past three days, someone must have been observing her secretly, and she could feel that kind of gaze.
Now she can only pretend that she doesn't know anything. Everyone knows why she came here. Her father-in-law is still in prison. She can't let herself be too anxious, but she can't be too ruthless. There is a subtle degree in the middle, which will make her fall into Only when the dynamic situation is just right can it not only show their anxiety, but also make people feel that He Ziwen is so important to him.
After all, He Ziwen is a court official. Although he used the reason for his third aunt's example money, if it is really investigated, there is no evidence to prove that he has something to do with He Ziwen. Therefore, now he can only wait for the third prince to find him.
This process did not make him wait for a long time. On this day, as soon as Changping went out, he was stopped by a man and said only one sentence, "Our master invited his wife to gather in Cuige."
Changping narrowed his eyes and there was a smile in the corners of his eyes. Finally, he came.
Others may not know about this Lan Cui Pavilion, but Changping also knows that Lan Cui Pavilion is located in a restaurant on Changshui Street in Beijing. The business is very prosperous, and the master behind it is the third prince.
This is also the reason why Yunjia's winery was not selected in Beijing, but only built a wine shop in the bamboo forest in the suburbs of Beijing. The forces in Beijing are complex, and it is better to stay away from the forces in Beijing as much as possible.
