Chapter 94 Close your eyes and jump into the river
Lin Zhixiu asked strangely, "How is that possible? You have been engaged for a long time! What do you mean there is no way?"
Ren Baihui's expression was slightly sad, "You don't know. That year, his mother passed away. A year after his mother left, his father remarried. He married a young... The woman gave birth to a son after entering the house.
.He will have a filial piety ceremony soon, and we will get married! As a result, for some reason, someone discovered that he and his stepmother's niece..." Miss Ren was ashamed and resentful.
"His stepmother said that his niece's innocence has been lost. If he doesn't marry, he will cause a huge stir, go to court and let the whole capital know about it. By then, his reputation will be ruined, his career will be lost, and his life will be over. His father, in the end,
He is stupid... he dotes on his little wife and refuses to even listen to the suggestion of taking that woman as a concubine. He comes to break off the engagement in person. He gets into trouble with my parents and says... So far, even if I entered the house, I would not
Have a good life."
Ren Baihui thought about the shock and humiliation at that time, and was stunned for a while. Lin Zhixiu looked at her without speaking.
After a while, Ren Baihui said, "He and I have known each other since childhood, and we have the same piano master... When we were young, we played chess and played the piano together. He was gentle and polite to me, and never exceeded the rules. Really, even
I have never made an inappropriate joke. My brother is familiar with him and knows how he behaves outside. We have an engagement, and he has not shown the filial piety of his mother. In any way, he cannot be with that woman...
What is it if it’s not a calculation?”
Lin Zhixiu sneered and said, "But, no matter how hard you think of it, someone got the handle on something he wouldn't do! If this matter is leaked, even if he marries that woman, his reputation will be ruined! In
The beautiful image in your mind is over. Therefore, the letter he gave you may have been made up for you to reduce his own responsibilities. No one believed it at all..."
"I believe it! I believe in his character." Miss Ren was even excited.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Okay, okay! Maybe there is nothing wrong with his character, but there must be something wrong with his behavior! His stepmother is almost the same age as him, and she lives under the melons and plums. Why doesn't she know how to avoid suspicion? Could it be that her stepmother can treat her niece's son?
Send it all the way to his bed? How many hurdles does that have to go through? He goes in and out with the servants following him, and there are a lot of maids and women in the yard. Even if he goes to greet his stepmother, how many maids and women must be there. How much does it cost?
Only then can he molest that woman? Isn’t that right?”
Lin Zhixiu's words were already outrageous, but Miss Ren was so excited that she couldn't care less about it. "You have a calculated plan but not a careless one, how can you escape..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Oh, you have a plan?! To be honest, when the stepmother came in and used three tricks and two tricks, he should have known who she was! Pulling her mother's adult niece to live in the house, no one was shy about it, this is
What kind of arrogance is this? Doesn’t he have a sense of security in his heart?! His stepmother gave birth to a son, which directly conflicts with his interests! Although he did not regard his stepmother and younger brother as his mortal enemies, he didn’t have any sense of defensiveness at all? He actually
He's so close to his stepmother! Haha! There's no fault on his part here? Is that woman good-looking?" Lin Zhixiu looked like she understood everything.
Miss Ren said blankly, "I've never seen that woman...but her stepmother is really good-looking..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Miss Ren, you see, my uncle is in Prince Qing's Mansion. The princess wants to know about the prince's affairs outside, so she often calls her uncle over to ask questions. But how can my uncle say anything? The princess wants to win over him, and she wants to know the things around her.
The female official was betrothed to my uncle. But my uncle is very smart! He felt over and over again that maybe the princess had this intention. He was not happy! Since then, he has found various excuses not to go back. There is really no other way.
, with the servant. The female official always picks up my uncle at the second gate, but my uncle never looks at her or talks to her. When the two of them leave together, they must stay four or five minutes away from her.
Stay far away, be courteous but keep a distance!! Let me tell you, as long as he talks to you, there may be a reason to talk about marriage. Therefore, these things often depend on yourself." Lin Zhixiu said.
sincere.
Miss Ren lost her mind, the matter...maybe just like what Miss Lin said, it was just because she didn't want to face it!
Lin Zhixiu said, "No matter what, it's over, it's over! It's over, Miss Ren! If you feel that he is innocent again, what can you do? Are you going to be his concubine? Or wait until his wife is tortured to death, and then
Are you going to fill in his house?"
Miss Ren frowned and said, "How is this possible?!"
Lin Zhixiu "Yes! Then what are you going to do? Stay with such a man for the rest of your life? When his daughter is about to get engaged, you still haven't found a place? Could it be that you want to become a family and a sister-in-law? That is worthy of your parents and worthy of you."
alone?"
Miss Ren couldn't do it if she thought about it left or right, and she felt a little desperate.
Lin Zhixiu said contemptuously, "Humph, this man! If he tells you that he did things improperly and forgot the rules when he saw a beautiful girl! He didn't keep the proper distance and behaved wildly, which will lead to disaster! He is a bastard
, I'm sorry for you. Xiu'er respects him as a man, at least he dares to do what he does! But he has obviously cheated you all his life... but he told you so many no choice but to do so. Over there he married a lovely wife and gave birth to a daughter, but over here he married a lovely wife and gave birth to a daughter.
But you are using your old friendship to tie you up. What is this?! Miss Ren, you are so stupid! If I were you, I would tell him and that bitch to go away!"
Miss Ren was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Miss Lin, you!" How could you say it so happily!
Lin Zhixiu "Miss Ren, when my uncle went back that day, he said that he was not worthy of you! He said that you were as noble and beautiful as a swan, but he was a worldly person! He was so ashamed of himself that he stuttered when speaking in front of you.
I regretted it so much when I went back... What a lovely man he is! I laughed for a long time after hearing this."
Ren Baihui thought of that person that day... with a smile in her eyes.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Miss Ren, you should get rid of your original suffering and find a man who can make you laugh, take care of you, and help you get out of the embarrassing situation of the Ren family. You see, my uncle, although he has no official position,
He is tall, but he has the ability and money! The house he bought in Jinyu Hutong has four entrances! The garden is great. You should live there and enjoy the prosperity of the world!"
Ren Baihui stared at her helplessly, "You..." She didn't know what to say.
Lin Zhixiu went on to say, "If you marry my uncle, I guarantee that you will live a life of fine clothing, fine food, and the love of your husband. You will make those two bad guys who are sorry for you jealous for the rest of your life!"
Miss Ren was stunned and said, "You, what are you talking about?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Really, really! If you think about it again, I also promise you that my uncle will never take concubines in the future. I will give you all my money and listen to your words for the rest of my life. In the future..." She almost said
When I have nieces and nephews, I support them, but then I think, this is too far.
Miss Ren's face was as red as velvet, and she felt dumbfounded. She said, "Miss Lin, to tell you the truth... I am in a very bad situation. But my mentality is like this. If I marry someone else, it will be unfair to that person. Even in the future."
If I know, I will feel resentful and regretful. When the time comes, I won’t be able to free myself, but I will drag others into the water again. I can’t do that!”
Lin Zhixiu said, "Hey, you don't have to worry about such a thing! My uncle said that day that he would not get married again, and would go back to An's home to find a suitable child and adopt him... What do you mean?
What's this thing?! It makes me so angry! Look, one of you wants to become a monk and the other wants to have no future, so why not just deal with it. Even if your urgent need is solved, my uncle will also get what he deserves.
willing."
Miss Ren was a little dumbfounded, "How can this be done? It's so unfair to him. If they really get married, he feels awkward. Wouldn't that be even more tragic?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Oh, people are alive! If this road doesn't work, let's find another one! Miss Ren, okay? This matter is settled. I'm really afraid that the princess will open her mouth one day. It will be more troublesome."
It’s over!”
Ren Baihui became curious, "Then why does the princess have to do this?"
Lin Zhixiu: "Humph, the princess feels that the prince has too much money in his private house. Do you want to know the details? But my uncle just wants to do practical things, and these things should not be involved!"
Miss Ren said, "Your uncle did the right thing."
Lin Zhixiu was so happy that she simply acted like a fool and said, "Miss Liu, my uncle is really a good man that is hard to find in the world! And I promise you, my uncle will listen to you and will never save his private money like the prince!"
Let’s make it this way! I’ll go talk to Mrs. Ren and Aunt Liu!”
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Miss Ren was shocked and said, "Wait a minute, what do you mean it's settled? No, I haven't agreed yet! Miss Lin, come back!"
Lin Zhixiu ran out with a smile on her face.
Miss Ren chased her to the door, but did not take a step forward... She held on to the door and stood there blankly. Suddenly she felt... someone was forcing her like this. She closed her eyes and jumped. Then, everything... went with the flow.
nature?
She retreated silently, sat down, picked up her needle and thread, and started working without thinking about anything...
When Lin Zhixiu came back and told Mrs. Ren, Mrs. Ren was also dumbfounded.
Does your girl agree?
Will I have a son-in-law like An Ning?!
She looked at Lin Zhixiu's beautiful little face, full of pride and determination, and thought about Mrs. Liu's full praise of An Ning...and suddenly thought, if this problem could be solved, wouldn't it... be great?
Mrs. Ren has not asked her daughter's opinion yet, and only said to Mrs. Liu, "This is a lifelong event, and it cannot be settled like this. I will go to ask Baihui later, and I will discuss it with her father and brother when they come back..."
…I will give you news as soon as possible!”
Lin Zhixiu agreed, "That's right! Madam Ren, don't worry, we won't tell you if we don't get the exact information from you. No matter what, we are all good friends!"
Mrs. Ren just wants to laugh, where does "good friend" come from?
She sent Mrs. Liu and Lin Zhixiu away and hurried to her daughter's yard.
When Ren Baihui heard the urgent footsteps, she looked up and saw her mother...
Suddenly I felt like "this is good".
Because, although there was confusion and regret on the mother's face, there was a sense of relief.
His steps and expressions are much clearer.
She has been embarrassing the family for too long. Even her niece has to be careful when facing her, for fear of saying something that will make her sad.
When will such a day begin?
Now, it’s solved...
Mrs. Ren asked worriedly, "Why did you agree so suddenly? Hui'er, if you haven't thought about it well, don't worry. You can't make a rash choice in your life and make yourself regret it."
Ren Baihui said, "Mother, Miss Lin told her daughter a lot about her uncle. Mr. An is a mature and steady man. Although he is not of high origin, he has a noble character, is very capable, and has a rich family fortune. Xiu'er said that he is very
I value my daughter and promise to be together for the rest of my life. My daughter thinks that this may not be a way out."
Mrs. Ren's eyes were moist, "Good daughter, Mrs. Liu is saying that Mr. An is a good man...you, don't worry. If he doesn't treat you well, you can go home at any time."
"Mother, daughter, will live a good life with him." Ren Baihui also shed tears.
