Chapter 633: Discord and anger of the Duke

Author: A Lotus Essence

Xian'an Hall.

There was a table of sumptuous dishes, and two people were sitting in front of the table. The old man with gray hair and beard unconsciously traced the dark lines on the corner of the table with his hands. He sat upright, but his eyes drifted outward from time to time.

Mrs. Yan looked amused: "You are so impatient, why did you let Chang'an go? Why don't you go and pick him up yourself?"

"That won't work."

The old Duke stared at her and said seriously: "Whenever my granddaughter-in-law comes to visit, the elders will pick her up in person. There are no rules."

"What other rules are you talking about?"

The old lady poured him a glass of warm water and handed it over, and murmured: "This marriage is too rushed and violates filial etiquette. It has to be done so tightly, and I am not afraid of wronging the two children."

“Opportunities must not be missed and they will never come back.”

The old father-in-law glanced sideways at his wife and said angrily: "Besides, the days are rushing in a hurry, but I have everything I need. Don't think that I don't know. After considering the price of the things I ordered to buy, you still stuff it in private."

A lot of stuff went in."

"Do you dare to say that you are not expecting your granddaughter-in-law to come in quickly?"

After hearing this, the old lady blushed and murmured: "It's not that I just feel sorry for Ayun alone. The child is suffering so much. I always hope to treat him better and better."

"It's a pity that he has a cold temperament and doesn't want to stay in the old house."

There are maids, uncles and aunts here, and her grandmother, who can at least take care of him a little more, so that he won't be so lonely.

"It's not just me. There are also many additions to the first and second bedrooms. They feel sorry for this nephew the most."

"Yes, uncle and aunt still know how to care for others."

The old Duke was pleased, his eyes suddenly darkened a little, and his voice was not as brisk and casual as before, but more serious: "Where are they?"

She didn't say anything, but the old lady knew who "they" referred to without thinking, and her body stiffened subconsciously.

He paused for a moment and shook his head.

"Oh, if that's the case, why are you coming back?"

A sneer filled with sarcasm and disappointment broke out from the depths of the old Duke's throat. His fingers rubbing the lines on the corners of the table were clenched into fists, as if he was trying to hold back his anger.

His chest was rising and falling violently, and it was hard to swallow the bad breath.

"Boom!"

The old man punched the table, startling the old lady next to him. She quickly stretched out her hand to hold his breath and said earnestly: "What are you doing? Why are you so angry?"

Worth it."

"Can I not be angry? Look at that couple, that is their biological son, how could they let go of him!"

The old lady's eyes dimmed and she pursed her lips and did not answer.

The old Duke was still furious, "If I had known this, it would be better not to come back and cause trouble for me."

"Talk angrily again."

The hand that was holding his breath patted his chest gently, and the old lady was also a little angry: "Whether it's a crown ceremony or a wedding, Ayun's parents are still here, so how can they not attend?"

"In this case, how should outsiders discuss this marriage, and how should they view A'luo, the imperial concubine?"

"Do you really think it was your message that brought people back?"

The old lady was in a hurry and was stunned for a moment after she finished speaking. Then the old man heard clearly, "What do you mean?"

Faced with his persecution, the old lady also knew that there was nothing to hide, so she said: "I heard that Ayun later went to Daxiangguo Temple, and then the third son and his wife returned home."

After learning that Yan Yun had found the girl he liked, although he was told not to leak it to anyone, how could Duke Yan not be happy alone.

He told his wife the next day.

Therefore, the old lady was also one of the insiders. She was very happy for her grandson when she could marry the girl she liked, so she asked the old people around her to go to Daxiangguo Temple to fulfill her wish. Who knows where she saw Yan Yun, and she was heading towards that remote place.

direction...

No one dared to come forward to say hello, so he informed her when he returned home.

Later, when her son and daughter-in-law came back, after thinking about it for a while, the old lady guessed the whole story.

"This, this is really..."

The old Duke took two deep breaths and didn't know who to scold for a while. After thinking about it, his angry voice was mixed with some unspeakable sadness: "Ayun really puts that girl on the top of his heart. These years,

, no matter how seriously ill he was, no matter how serious something happened, he never had anyone send a letter there."

"Now I have done everything for her."

Listening to his sour tone, the old lady couldn't help but laugh: "You, as a grandfather, are really getting better and better. Are you not happy that he treats your daughter-in-law well?"

"Don't you always hope that he can have someone by his side who knows both cold and hot feelings? You personally arranged the marriage for the little girl from the Su family. You also said that the girl has the character of the Xie family. How can you be so jealous?

.”

"You don't understand."

The old man stroked his beard and shook his head with a deep look, as if he wanted to throw away all the complicated thoughts in his mind.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, the old lady didn't ask any questions and waved her hand in front of him as if to ward off mosquitoes.

"what you do?"

The old man looked at her in surprise.

The old lady said with a smile: "I'll help you dissipate the vinegar smell, so that your granddaughter-in-law won't laugh at you, and no one will help you then."

"Humph, she dares."

Having said that, the old prince couldn't save his face, and even after being angry for a long time, he couldn't help but laugh.

He raised his hand to pat the annoying hand in front of him.

"Stop shaking, it will make me dizzy."

"Excuse me?"

"Nonsense."

The two were laughing and playing around. This was what Surao and Yan Yun saw when they came in. Through the half-hung carved window, they were smiling and playing like children.

Surao suddenly remembered a poem, "I wish to win the heart of one person and never leave each other."

Many people know that Duke Yanlao never took any concubines in his life.

His three sons are all descendants of his wife, Wen.

Husband and wife are harmonious, and they raise eyebrows together.

They undoubtedly loved Yan Yun very much. At this time, Surao suddenly remembered a problem. The Yan family's sisters-in-law were harmonious, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in love. When they talked about Yan Yun, they always defended and praised Yan Yun, and they were proud of it.

This kind of family atmosphere was different from what she originally imagined.

That being the case, who inflicted Yan Yun's poison...?

Or is it that what she has seen so far is all an illusion?

Doubts lingered in Surao's mind.

The old steward Chang An also saw this scene and pretended to be serious by raising his sleeves and saying "cough cough" twice to remind the people inside.

When the old man and his wife heard the noise and saw several people standing in the courtyard, their faces turned red.

Fortunately, it was illuminated by a burning candle, and there were so many light and shadows that I couldn't see clearly for a while.

"The old slave is right outside. If you need anything, Your Majesty, just give me your instructions."

The old steward stopped outside the house knowingly. Yan Yun nodded slightly and entered the house with Surao. Surao obediently greeted the two elders.

Before she could exchange greetings, the old lady came up to her with a smile, grabbed her hand, sat next to her, and started talking nonstop.

"You and Ayun look like a golden boy and a beautiful girl when you stand together, a perfect match for each other."

"Come on, are you hungry? Eat quickly. These dishes are all specially prepared by the kitchen after I asked Ayun. They are all what you like."

"From now on, you don't have to be restricted when you come to Xian'antang. We are all one family."

All the words Surao prepared in advance were of no use. He responded to the old lady with a smile. When she asked why he came back so late, Surao didn't wait for Surao to blame him.

The old Duke dug out his eyes at Yan Yun and said, "Why else? He must be delayed by something again. Ah Yun, today is different from the past. You are about to have a family, so you have to spend more time with me."

Aluo."
