Chapter 289 Facing the bleak reality
Rong Jingqiu stopped and turned around and looked at her with a smile, "Why did your sister-in-law chase after me?"
Compared to her, the mother and son there needed more comfort. She thought Rong Ma would stay there for the aftermath. With Rong Hong's temperament, he could not solve anything.
Rong Ma held Rong Jingqiu's hand, "We sister-in-law and sister-in-law, I don't worry if you have your brother there."
Anyway, no matter how much my daughter-in-law kisses her, she can't kiss her own son. Rong Jin's mother-in-law should leave it to Rong Hong for trouble, and she happened to have a break.
Rong Jingqiu did not comment, so he walked leisurely with Rong Ma in this snow-white world.
"By the way, did your brother do something bad?" Rong Ma asked. Although he was Rong Hong's nominal wife, she could not pretend to be unaware of anything.
Rong Jingqiu reached out her hand mischievously and flicked the snow on the hanging branches. Seeing the snowflakes falling down, she smiled happily, then turned her head and said simply what Rong Hong had done. Hearing it, Rong Ma's brows kept frowning. She didn't expect Rong Hong to be so close and inseparable, right and wrong.
Rong Ma looked at Rong Jingqiu seriously, "Miss Three, I apologize to you on his behalf. I don't know he would do such a thing. I will mention it to my sister-in-law..."
"Why did his sister-in-law apologize on his behalf for what he did? It should be him who apologizes. Sister-in-law should not worry about him." Rong Jingqiu said, she was a clear person's grudge. If anyone owes her, she would ask the master for it and would not easily affect others. So she said, "No need to say anything about the eldest sister-in-law, so that they can avoid quarrels and then spread anger to us so that they will not cause this bloody body."
Rong Feng couldn't control Rong Peng, so he told her that this was meaningless, and it would cause trouble instead.
Rong Ma sighed, "It's just a difficult time for the third girl."
She really didn't expect Rong Hong to be so immature. She didn't persuade others to be kind without the hardships of others. Rong Hong never understood this principle. He always handled things with self-righteousness, and the end result was a mess.
"What's the difficulty? Anyway, I'm angry and I feel relieved if I don't hold it in my heart," Rong Jingqiu smiled, and then seemed to think about something, so he hurriedly asked, "By the way, the personal maid who used to serve Rong Jingdong seems to be called Liuyun. Is it still with your sister-in-law?"
She didn't see this person in Rong Hong's yard today, so she might still be in Rong Ma's place.
"You said Liuyun, it's really still here with me. I'm not going to give her two girls to your brother. I'm not going to send her to you as well. I plan to wait for the New Year before I'll send her to your brother's yard to serve him. What? The third girl wants her, so it's easy to deal with. I'll transfer her to you now."
"It's not that I want her, but that I have something to ask her. My sister-in-law will lend me a while first, and I will return it to you later."
"Our sister-in-law said this and then she was separated." Rong Ma said, then turned to instruct the woman who followed her, "You go back and pass on my words and let Liuyun go to the third girl's yard to serve for a while."
The woman responded "Yes" and stepped down to do the job.
The topic stopped and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law talked about other things.
But before he could turn back to the East Cluster Courtyard, the maid in Rong Hong's yard hurriedly came, "Mrs. Second Young Master, it's not good, Aunt Wen seems to have an abortion..."
Rong Ma frowned and glanced at the breathless maid, "What's going on?"
Rong Jingqiu didn't say anything, but just raised her eyebrows and looked at the maid, obviously waiting for her next sentence.
The maid tried to breathe, "Reply to the second young master's words, it was Yuelan and Yuexiang who collided with Aunt Wen. Now the second young master was so angry that he shouted to kill him. The lady was stopping the second young master, and then ordered the servant to find the second young master to go over..."
Rong Jingqiu asked with confusion, "Who are Yuelan and Yuexiang?"
Rong Ma sneered, "It's your brother's new favorite."
Rong Jingqiu looked at her conscious look. She just left Rong Hong's yard and met Aunt Wen. Who knows if there is any trick in the fight between the new and old loves? However, she didn't plan to go there in this muddy water. She asked Lin Lan'er to call Wen Ruyi before to criticize Rong Hong. She wouldn't have been crazy about dealing with an unborn fetus and falling out of the way.
"Since there is a mess there, my sister-in-law will go over and deal with it first. I recognize the way back, so my sister-in-law doesn't need to send it."
Rong Ma could only spread her hands helplessly, and then said a few words to Rong Jingqiu, and then rushed back slowly. She was not interested in dealing with the battle between Rong Hong's concubines. She was just a wife with a straight wife, and her attitude of not being concerned was not advisable, so she could only endure the discomfort and go over and take a look.
Rong Jingqiu continued to walk back to the East Cross Courtyard slowly. She was not interested in Rong Hong's private life, so she was not very curious about the results of the handling there. Anyway, it would be right to just hold on with her business.
When Rong Ma arrived, the newly hired doctor had already diagnosed Aunt Wen's pulse, and then said with a dissatisfaction, "My aunt's body is a little weak. She has been repaired before, but her body is weak and she is not replenished. The supplements she took are not very effective. Now that she has a fetal aura, it is afraid that it will be difficult to protect..."
"Get out, don't curse my baby here." Rong Hong was furious.
The new doctor in the mansion was immediately unconscious. The second young master looked like he wanted to eat people, and he immediately regretted telling the truth.
"Brother Hong, don't do this, you can't protect the fetus in Aunt Wen's belly like this." Rong Jinshi didn't care about the sadness and immediately comforted her son, then turned to the new doctor in the mansion, "Just prescribe fetal pills, try to protect the child."
The new doctor in the palace responded quickly and then went to write the prescription, not daring to say anything more.
Rong Hong ran out in anger and kicked Yuelan and Yuexiang, two new favorites kneeling on the ground, each kicked them in the hearts. The two women couldn't stand it and immediately vomited blood, then kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Neither of them expected that Wen Ruyi would be so despicable. Since she used the fetus in her belly to frame them, she knew that she was wronged, but no one believed her. Now, seeing the second young master's scary look, they both dared not defend themselves. They just waste their energy.
When Rong Ma came, she saw Rong Hong committing violence against the two girls. Seeing the two girls in a messy manner, she couldn't help but frown and stepped forward to look at Rong Hong who was still kicking people with her feet and said, "What are you doing? It's useless to beat them to death, let alone who is right and who is wrong and has not yet been found out?"
When Yuelan and Yuexiang heard the second young lady's words, they immediately cried to Rong Ma's words and said unjustly, and then begged for mercy.
Rong Ma did not look at the two of them, but continued to look at Rong Hong who was so angry that he was crazy. "You were just preaching to the third girl righteously, saying that you should eliminate grudges with a smile. Okay, now that the matter is on your head, why don't you remember to persuade yourself to forgive others and eliminate grudges with a smile?"
Rong Hong was now angry. When he heard Rong Ma's sarcastic words, he immediately shouted angrily, "Fuck!" Then he realized that it was wrong. He was slapping himself in the face, so he pointed at the two girls in anger and said, "Can these two things be confused? What they are trying to kill is my descendants. You are so good, you are talking sarcastic here. Ma, whose wife are you?"
Rong Ma raised his eyebrows and said, "I will help you with your relatives. Besides, the one who Ye was trying to kill the third girl that day was also the offspring of the third girl. This is a hundred times more vicious than the current situation. You can just smile and eliminate your grudges when you touch your lips. You should do it first to ask others, otherwise you will be hindsight."
Rong Hong was so sad that his wife was unable to speak. After all, the matter did not fall on him, so he could naturally say a lot of empty words to persuade others. Looking back now, he couldn't help but blush with shame. It was the first time he admitted that he had missed his words before. It was not a big mistake for Rong Jingqiu to react so fiercely.
"I'll ask clearly about this before making a decision..." Rong Ma felt relieved when he saw Rong Hong's face was ashamed.
"No need to ask anymore. I will sell these two people later. I don't want to see them again." Rong Hong was afraid that he would kill them in a flash. Although they were all slaves who bought them, it was a big deal to kill him, so he quickly gave an order while he was still rational.
Rong Ma did not agree. Since Rong Hong didn't want a truth, he would let him go, so he nodded and said, "I'll call the dentist."
His wife, who has always loved to sing against him, was so gentle and obedient, and Rong Hong looked at her with an unexpected look on her face.
Rong Ma did not want to waste his time and energy on Rong Hong's woman, so he ignored the two women who fainted on the spot when they heard the word "selling". He ordered people to carry the two of them down and then call the dentist to come. Today's work is done today.
Wen Ruyi, who had woken up in the room, cried and listened to the movement outside the room. When she heard Rong Hong say she wanted to sell the two bitches, she felt at ease. Unfortunately, she was not easy to show her pride now, otherwise she would have to laugh three times to the sky.
At this moment, she felt the pain in her stomach getting stronger and stronger, and her face twisted because of the pain. "My child..." Only then did she start to panic. This child was the foundation of her foothold in the Rong family, and she could not ignore it.
"Don't be anxious first, take this fetal pill and take a good rest." Rong Jin said on the side.
"Madam, my life is nothing, but please be sure to protect my child..." Wen Ruyi still did not forget to show weakness and make good impressions at this time.
Rong Jin was also worried about this concubine's grandson, so he comforted Wen Ruyi with a few words. Finally, he saw her drinking the pills to fall asleep, and then she sighed. They are all mothers, and she could understand Wen Ruyi's mood.
Rong Jingqiu didn't pay attention to what happened here, and she was naturally unaware of it. Her whole mind was on Liuyun now.
Liuyun was still worried when he first came to this East Cluster Courtyard. I wonder if the third girl was going to torture her? But as soon as he met, the third girl asked about the friendship between the fourth girl Rong Jingdong when she was alive.
This made her feel unreal for a moment, so she knelt stiffly there. Fortunately, someone pushed her, and she came to her senses. She didn't dare to look up and see who pushed her. She quickly said, "The most close contact between the fourth girl in her lifetime was Miss Wu..."
"I'm not asking about Wu Tingyu." Rong Jingqiu said coldly. She had already checked the Wu family, and no one stood up to avenge Wu Tingyu, so the Wu family could almost rule it out.
When Liuyun saw Rong Jingqiu's cold face, she did not dare to delay any more, so she reported several names. She finally escaped the fate of selling, but how dare she not cooperate now?
After listening for a while, Rong Jingqiu said to Mei'er, "Give her the four treasures of the study and let her write them all, the more detailed the better."
"Yes, girl." Mei'er responded, then withdrew and prepared.
Liuyun was a young waiter, and naturally he was literate. When he heard this order, he dared not bargain, so he quickly listed all the names of the people he remembered. Of course, she was afraid that the third girl would not know which girl this family, so she specially marked the positions of the girls in her family.
Things went smoothly, but Rong Jingqiu still didn't let Liuyun go back to Rongma's house. He deliberately kept the person and ordered, "If there is any missing, please add it after thinking about it."
Liuyun responded in a hurry. She dared not treat the people in Miss Third yard like before. After all, Miss Fourth has become an ancient person and no one can support her anymore.
Her biggest hope now is to be able to serve the second young master. If she can successfully become half of the master, she will turn over.
Rong Jingqiu personally compared the list provided by Liu Yun with the list sent by Liu Zhixuan. He was both the personal maid of Rong Jingdong during his lifetime. The contents of the call were similar, which shows that he was very reliable.
So she re-wrote the list and asked Shuncai to send it back to Liu Zhixuan immediately, asking him to check all the people on the list above, so that there should be no mistakes.
After finishing this, she breathed a sigh of relief and lay tilted on the Arhat's bed without wanting to move. All she could do is wait for news.
When Rong Cheng returned to the mansion, someone reported to him that Rong Jingqiu and Rong Jin had broken off the relationship between mother and daughter. After hearing this, he just frowned, without any surprise. All of this was expected.
His eldest daughter is a stubborn person and his wife is not very smart, so this is reasonable.
Anyway, he doesn't want to take care of it anymore, so let them go.
As for the possibility of Wen Ruyi being miscarried, he didn't care at all. He was just a concubine, not that important, so he waved his hand, "You don't need to report such a small matter in the future, let the second young master deal with it by himself."
The trusted manager who came to report quickly responded to "yes", and suppressed his presence in his heart. There was no need to pay too much attention to the grandson who did not care about the Marquis.
The New Year is coming as scheduled, and after the cumbersome ancestor worship ceremony, it is a family banquet.
At the family dinner, Rong Fu specially arranged for Rong Jingqiu to sit next to her, which raised Rong Jingqiu's status a lot. This granddaughter had a quarrel with Rong Jinshi, and the happiest person was her. Now she was a little pleasing to Rong Jingqiu, and she even asked her if the food was suitable for her. If she didn't, she would ask the kitchen to make it again.
This behavior made everyone in the other three bedrooms see it. Everyone has different thoughts. Whether it is possible to look at Rong Fu's actions to flatter his granddaughter or not, his mind becomes active and he is more enthusiastic about Rong Jingqiu.
Even Rong Li, who told her daughter not to get too close to Rong Jingqiu, personally toasted Rong Jingqiu with a glass of wine, and she was angry that she had slimmed the right to give in her hands, and could not show it at this time.
Rong Jingqiu was very generous with her. Rong Li had never harmed her, so she had no disgust for her aunt.
Rong Jiang has always been alienated from Rong Jingqiu. She thought this girl was too cruel and was not a good person to meet. But when she saw Rong Li's favor, how could her family be willing to fall behind? So she also smiled and toasted Rong Jingqiu.
Rong Jingqiu raised her eyebrows and looked at her, smiled, and there was no difference in treating her.
Rong Jiang felt relieved. It seemed that he had no malice towards the Third Room.
The most unhappy person at the family dinner was Rong Jin. She was attending such an occasion with a tough guts and did not want to come, but Madam Hua advised her that she was the real hostess of the Hou's Mansion. If such a family dinner did not appear, the people below should gossip, and they would probably not take her as the female protagonist seriously in the future.
Because of these words, Rong Jin showed his face at the family dinner.
Seeing that her eldest daughter was good at everything and could talk and laugh with anyone, but she felt so sad and sad when she didn't look at her. Thinking of her intimate interaction with her when she first returned home, her heart felt uncomfortable like a knife cut.
Not only did the eldest daughter not get close to her, but even the two sisters-in-law deliberately ignored her. For the first time, she felt that she was indifferent to being behind and was indifferent to the power.
This is the first time since her daughter Rong Jingdong's death that she has truly examined the changing attitudes of the people around her. She has to face this bleak reality.
After the family dinner, Rong Jingqiu specially called Rong Lu to set off fireworks with her.
Rong Lu didn't dare to approach Rong Jingqiu for a long time, because she was afraid that others would suspect that he was willing to cling to him. Now that he heard Rong Jingqiu call him over, he hesitated for a while, and finally walked over.
As soon as Rong Jingqiu saw him, she reached out to pull him in front of her, then flicked his forehead, saw him covering his forehead with pain and looking at her with tears in her eyes, she smiled, "Do you deserve to punish me, how long has it been since you got to my third sister?"
"Sister Three, please calm down. I... I have a lot of homework recently and I can't take care of my third sister's place for a while..." Rong Lu looked aggrieved and looked at the reason.
