Chapter 186 Cold Heart
She lost her child and almost lost her own life. Extremely sad and indignant, she vowed to find the murderer, but what's the use of finding it? The master didn't believe her at all, and even thought that she was deliberately slandering Aunt Shen and deliberately pulling Aunt Shen into the water.
How ridiculous? She was so miserable that her man didn't believe her at all.
A heart slowly became cold. Since he insisted on not believing in her, it was the fate between them that came to an end on that day, and from then on, they went their own way, and it was irrelevant!
It was also from that day that she finally made up her mind to go to the capital. It is said that she helped Master Hao serve Mrs. Hao. In fact, she just didn't want to stay in Taihe County. She didn't want to see those two people again.
In so many years of companionship, she has been serving the old lady attentively. Now, the old lady has treated her as well as her own daughter. Thinking about it, the old lady thought that she had delayed her youth and her time with Master Hao, so now when she comes back, she tries her best to make do with them.
It's just that people's hearts are dead. How can they be resurrected?
In the late winter night, it was so cold that she almost suspected that she was walking on the road in thin clothes. In the cold, she couldn't help reaching out and hugging herself. Just like twelve years ago, she could only hold herself tightly, give herself some warmth, and could do nothing else.
"Wanniang, I know I was wrong back then. Can you give me another chance? And my mother really wants us to be together now. Master Hao said in a low voice.
A bitter smile appeared from the corners of Wan Niang's mouth. It turned out that until now, he was with her just because he didn't want to make the old lady sad.
That's right. Twelve years ago, she was so young that he was not attracted to her. Now that she is old and yellow, how could he pity her?
"Sir, I said that the past is over. The only thing I want to do now is to take good care of the old lady and don't think about anything else. After a hundred years, I will escape into the empty door. I have nothing to miss in this world.
Wan Niang said in a quiet tone, as if she had already taken the world lightly and would not care about anything anymore.
Master Hao was silent. A man with his status has admitted that he was wrong. What else should he do? What else should he do? At that moment, Master Hao's face also became ugly, and the two of them went to the west wing silently.
The west wing is where Wan Niang lives. Since the old lady specially asked Wan Niang to see Master Hao off, she naturally hopes that Master Hao can stay in Wan Niang's room tonight. Master Hao and Wan Niang are well aware of this. Although Wan Niang doesn't like him, she doesn't want to let the old lady down.
After skillfully tidying up the bed and asking the servant to bring hot water. After serving Mr. Hao to wash up, Wan Niang said, "Sir, you can rest first. It's still early. I'll go to the old lady's place to have a look."
Looking at the indifferent woman in front of him, it was difficult for Master Hao to think that she was the gentle and beautiful woman more than ten years ago.
He wanted to reach out and hold her far away figure, but as soon as his hand was raised a little, he forced him to hold it down. Who is he? He is Hao Zhongyi! A person who can shake everyone in Taihe County by saying a word in Taihe County, how can he bow his head in front of a little girl? What's more, he has admitted twice that he is wrong. What else do you want him to do?
There is never a shortage of people who flatter him in the world. Since she is so ignorant, forget it!
Master Hao lay down firmly, slowly closed his eyes, and let Wan Niang leave.
In the hall, the banquet is still going on. Hao Lingwei is the youngest, but her mouth is the sweetest. At a young age, she knows that she makes the old lady extremely happy, which makes the old lady like her more and more. Originally, because of Aunt Shen's relationship, the old lady was a little prejudiced against Hao Lingwei, but the old people like sweet-mouthed children. Besides, Hao Lingwei is so sensible that it is difficult for the old lady not to like her.
Ding's page is very calm. The meeting gift given to her by the old lady is very illustrative. For her daughter-in-law from a poor background, the old lady is not very happy. If she pretends to be stupid again, it will make the old lady hate her even more. It's better to adapt to changes, laugh when it's time to laugh, and don't talk when it's not. Anyway, although it doesn't have any advantages, at least it can't say what's wrong with her.
After serving Master Hao to rest, Wan Niang did not really go back to the hall again. If she goes back now, the old lady is bound to ask why she was not with Master Hao. At that time, she would not know how to answer. It's better to stay in the side room first, and wait until the banquet is over, and then go to see the old lady.
Having been with the old lady for so many years, not only does the old lady regard her as her own biological daughter, but she also really regards the old lady as her own mother and has been taking good care of her. That's what the so-called heart is.
The charcoal fire in the charcoal basin is crackling, but her brain is extremely sober, and the past is vivid in her mind. Even if more than ten years have not been spent at all, how can she not care if nothing has happened again?
Once upon a time, she almost had her own child and almost became a mother. But now, she can only watch Aunt Shen's two children bey in front of the old lady. She is not a saint, so how can she not hate her at all?
In the quiet room, there was no wind, but the candlelight still shook brightly, occasionally flashing on Wan Niang's face. The indifference and alienation made people feel very reluctant.
After the banquet, Ding Niazi and Hao Ling returned to the East Courtyard. The weather was too cold at night, and Hao Lingzhu did not follow him to join the fun. He took the maids back to the North Courtyard.
Aunt Shen politely flattered the old lady. After Wan Niang left, she also put some vegetables for the old lady and wanted to sell it in front of the old lady. Unfortunately, the old lady didn't buy her at all. Although it didn't embarrass her, she absolutely didn't give her any good look. So as soon as the banquet was over, Aunt Shen asked Hao Lingwei to send the old lady back on the pretext of arranging the rest.
Seeing Aunt Shen eating, Ding Yizi and Hao Lingzhu were extremely happy. Finally, there was a person in the house who could suppress her.
Aunt Shen still doesn't know the old lady's instructions to Master Hao now, and she didn't expect that Wan Niang would help Master Hao to the west wing. However, when she returned to the room and took a look, she didn't see Master Hao lying on ** resting, and a bad feeling suddenly appeared in her heart. She immediately asked someone to call the woman who guarded the door today, and asked her carefully. As expected, Wan Niang actually helped the master back to her room.
When Aunt Shen heard about this, she was really angry. When did she suffer this kind of hidden loss?
Humph... What a little bitch, she actually abducted the master when she was not paying attention, and when the master was drunk!
How can Aunt Shen allow Wan Niang to ride on her head? But she is not that kind of impulsive person. She won't rush to the West Wing to find someone so rashly. After thinking about it carefully, I asked Shen's mother to prepare a bowl of sobering soup and a cup of old chicken soup, and then took it up and went to the West Wing with her.
With this excuse, even if it's the old lady, you can't say that she is not hers.
Before leaving, Aunt Shen deliberately changed her slightly brighter clothes and put on makeup again. Just then, she rushed to the west wing with people. Of course, when she came to the west wing, she deliberately slowed down and didn't want people to know how she rushed there in a hurry.
However, it was said that at the beginning of the banquet, Wan Niang had ordered the little maid who had ordered earlier to tell Wan Niang that the banquet had been over and that the old lady was coming back. Wan Niang made preparations in advance, quickly restrained her mind, and went to stay with Master Hao.
Although she still has a pimple on Master Hao in her heart, she can't be known by the old lady.
After the old lady entered the yard, Wan Niang pushed the door out of her room in time, making the old lady think that she had always been with Master Hao.
"Madam, you are so energetic now. You must be very happy at the banquet tonight, right?" Wan Niang came forward to hold the old lady's arm and asked with a faint smile.
I haven't seen my second son's family for a long time. The old lady is also very worried about it. Now she can finally come to a table for dinner. She looks that her children and grandchildren are doing well. How can she be unhappy?
The old lady looked happy and said with a smile, "Isn't it? It's also rare to have dinner with them. Now I'm finally back, and the days will grow in the future.
When she said this, the old lady inadvertently patted Wan Niang's hand, which was self-evident.
Wan Niang was silent and didn't answer the old lady's words. She understood the old lady's intention, but she couldn't force herself. However, she just knows these things in her own heart, and there is no need to be known by the old lady.
The old lady didn't hear Wan Niang's reply, and said, "Wanniang, you'd better go to Zhongyi's side to accompany her. How boring is it to follow me, the lonely old lady? I have Qiu Yun here to wait for me. If you don't want to wait here, you can go back quickly.
Wan Niang insisted on sending the old lady back and said with a faint smile, "What did the old lady say? It's my blessing to be with the old lady. How can it be boring? Besides, I think the master also hopes that I can spend more time with the old lady.
"Your little mouth is the sweetest! All right, I know what you mean. Go back quickly. The old lady urged again with a faint smile.
No, Wan Niang had to listen to the old lady's words and go back to the west wing.
