"Ah, sister-in-law, you, you want to take Sister Wu back?" Yang's face was full of shock, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
When asked by Yang, Chen felt extremely embarrassed.
Originally, she and Xie Zheng had planned for him to speak to the old lady after lunch, but she never thought that just after dinner, her second uncle took him to the study room, and she had to bite the bullet and speak on her own.
"Sister Wu, thanks to the hard work and care of her younger siblings over the years, now that the Crown Prince and I are back, there is no reason to cause any more trouble to my younger siblings." Mrs. Chen lowered her head and considered in a low voice.
Over the years, whenever she thought of Sister Wu, she would always feel guilty and uncomfortable.
Especially every time she came back, Sister Wu always looked at her with that distant and unfamiliar look. She felt that her heart was going to be torn. Now that she finally came back, she was naturally eager to save Sister Wu.
Take it with you and make up for what you have owed her over the years.
"How could it be? Sister Wu is the most well-behaved person. She has never made me worry at all in these years. Moreover, I have never thought that Sister Wu is troublesome."
Yang looked at Xie Wu with reluctance, only to see her standing quietly with her eyes lowered. Her long eyelashes cast a small shadow on her eyes, making it impossible for her to tell what she was thinking at the moment.
.
"Sister-in-law, actually Tinglan Courtyard and Cuizhu Courtyard are not far apart. It is very convenient for Sister Wu to go back." Yang murmured again.
"No, sister-in-law, Sister Wu is my daughter after all..." Mrs. Chen became a little anxious.
"So, you also know that Sister Wu is your daughter!" At this time, the old lady glanced sideways at Mrs. Chen and said coldly.
Mrs. Chen suddenly felt as if she had been slapped hard, her hands tightly holding the veil, her eyes turned red, "Mother, mother..."
The old lady snorted coldly, but without even looking at her, she looked directly at Xie Wu, "Sister Wu, what do you say?"
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, all the eyes in the room fell on Xie Wu.
Especially Mrs. Chen, the look she looked at Xie Wu not only showed a bit of guilt but also a bit of pleading.
But Xie Wu didn't seem to see Mrs. Chen's gaze. She turned her face to Mrs. Yang, looked at her earnestly and said, "Second Aunt, I listen to you."
In fact, no matter how she chooses, the final result will be the same.
Now that her father is back, there is no reason to leave her with the Yang family.
Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be one more thing to talk about after dinner in the capital.
Yang also knew in her heart that the reason why she refused to accept the objection just now was just a habit of playing tricks in front of her and trying to win her over so that she could use him. Xie Wu in her previous life was indeed easy to deceive.
As soon as the old lady told her to choose, she immediately grabbed Mr. Yang's sleeve and insisted on living with her.
But obviously, her words were of no use, and she was sent back to Cuizhuyuan early the next morning.
Instead, Yang took this opportunity to act out a drama in front of her, in which an evil mother seizes her daughter, and the aunt begs for mercy.
From then on, she became even more disgusted with Mr. Chen.
As for now, she wants to see how Yang's play can continue without her cooperation?
Yang obviously did not expect that Xie Wu would kick the ball into his arms.
"Brother and sister." Mrs. Chen, who had suddenly come to her senses at the side, quickly looked at Mrs. Yang eagerly.
"Second Aunt." Xie Wu was not willing to be weak and tugged on Yang's sleeve again.
The mother and daughter stood up Ms. Yang like this. Ms. Yang was a little confused for a moment, but fortunately she came back to her senses soon.
"Mom, I know that now that my sister-in-law is back, Sister Wu has no reason to live in my courtyard anymore. I have never thought about dominating Sister Wu, but my sister has been raised like this under my knees.
For many years, I have always treated her as a close relative. When my sister-in-law said that she would take Sister Wu away, my heart..." Mrs. Yang looked at the old lady and her eyes turned red.
She has been raising Xie Wu all these years, and she is more interested in her than Sister Yuan, isn't it just so that one day she can use her to drive a wedge between her and her elder brother-in-law?
Therefore, she was eager to send Xie Wu to Cuizhuyuan, so how could she refuse Chen.
But if she asks Xie Wu to go back with Chen now, depending on Xie Wu's temperament, she might think that she doesn't want her, and wouldn't that mean she would create a rift with her?
"Okay, it's just this courtyard, and it's not like we can't see it anymore, so let Sister Wu move back to Cuizhu Courtyard." Finally, the old lady made the final decision.
Yang had a look of reluctance on his face, but in the end, as if he couldn't resist the old lady, he had no choice but to bow his head and agree.
"Thank you, mother." Mrs. Chen, however, swept away her awkwardness and embarrassment and saluted the old lady happily.
Yang took Xie Wu's hand over with an apologetic expression, "Awu, actually it would be good for you to go back to your mother. In the past few years, the second aunt has been busy with the trivial affairs of the palace, and she always neglects you and makes you suffer.
When you are wronged, now that your mother is back, she will definitely protect you, and she will never be like the second aunt..." Yang's tears rolled down as she spoke, and she quickly let go of Xie Wu's hand.
Hands, turned away from face sadly.
Compared with the actors on the stage, the women in the backyards of these houses are actually better at acting.
Just like now, after what Yang said, Chen felt even more guilty towards her.
Fortunately, Xie Wu had watched too many of Yang's plays in her previous life, so she just lowered her head and didn't hum.
"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely take good care of Sister Wu and never let her suffer any injustice." Mrs. Chen vowed to Mrs. Yang in front of everyone.
Xie Wu, who lowered her head, slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
She hated Mrs. Yang for using her to instigate her against Dafang, but if Mr. Chen had not abandoned her in the Hou Mansion and left her under Yang's care, how could Mr. Yang have used her to instigate and use her?
When she was young, she had earnestly hoped that she would take her to Ningxia for reunion countless times, but what she waited for was disappointment again and again.
Fortunately, she is no longer the Xie Wu who stopped eating sweets completely because she couldn't get them. Time has long erased her expectations for Mrs. Chen. Even though she knew that Mrs. Chen had her as a daughter in her heart, she still believed that she would always
She missed herself so much, but in the end, she still couldn't compare to her husband and son.
She is not the most important person in her heart.
She accepted this long ago.
Now that Xie Wu's matter was settled, the old lady couldn't bear to see Chen's face again, so she waved them all out.
Seeing the old lady let out a deep breath, Aunt Zhu hurriedly smiled, walked to her, squatted down, and pinched her legs, "Are you tired, old lady? Do you want me to help you go to the bed and lie down?"
.”
The old lady glanced sideways at Nanny Zhu and snorted coldly, "You are so generous."
Aunt Zhu smiled and said, "Isn't this generosity of slave just because of you, old lady? Don't you often tell me that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and it's best for us to take care of ourselves."
"Are you speaking for her?" The old lady frowned slightly, with a slight displeasure on her face.
Even after so many years, Mrs. Chen still has a thorn in her heart that cannot be pulled out no matter how hard she tries.
It would have been fine if she had been willing to stay in the Hou Mansion and learn the rules, but she was such a person that she could even abandon her daughter, so that that year the Hou Mansion almost became the laughing stock of the entire capital.
Over the years, the entire Marquis Mansion has followed the rules and kept a low profile, and it was difficult for this incident to be forgotten from everyone's eyes.
But now, this unattractive thing is back again.
When she thought of this, the old lady felt a throbbing pain in her heart.
"I am not speaking for the Crown Princess. I feel sorry for the old lady. I am afraid that you are just talking about it. Then you turn your head and try your best to give advice to the Crown Princess." Aunt Zhu said with a smile.
"You do know how to speak, but even if I am willing to teach her, she may not be willing to listen." Although the old lady's voice was still a bit cold, her face had softened a lot.
No matter how much she hated Mrs. Chen, as long as she was still the princess of the Hou Mansion, she could not let her lose the face of the Hou Mansion.
