Chapter 373 How cool and ruthless
Cui looked at Jinning, "Is there something wrong with the young lady? Are you feeling unwell?"
The old man said angrily: "Look at her complexion, where is she sick? Even if she is really sick, as long as she is not so sick that she can't walk, she should go back. Where is the reason why my grandmother died of illness and became a granddaughter who didn't go back to attend the funeral? It's not that she can't go back in less than half an hour. No reason is the reason."
Jinning lowered his eyes, without any intention of justification, "I'm not sick, and there's no other reason, I just don't want to go back."
"You..." The old man was angry, looking at her expressionless face, and asked calmly: "There will always be your reason if you don't go back, right? Tell me your reason."
Jinning shook his head, "No."
She was blessed, "If grandfather had nothing else, I'll go back first."
After saying that, she left without waiting for the old man to speak.
The old man was angry and said, "It's great unfilial, it's great unfilial!"
Cui also found it strange. Although outsiders had heard that she and the family of the Duke's Mansion were a little unhappy, the person was dead, so what was wrong with her? She didn't look like the kind of person who held a grudge against small things?
"She still hated the old lady and the Duke who sent her to the village back then?" Cui said.
When the old man heard this, he said angrily: "This is all a thing in the past. Besides, even if the family affection is cold and everyone has left, how can I be the younger generation not go to the funeral?"
"Don't be angry, if she doesn't go, we still have to go." Cui looked at his angry face and comforted him.
The old man was filled with anger and he dealt with it for a few casually and then put down his chopsticks.
"Then will we go?" Cui asked.
"I originally wanted to help, but since I didn't even care about her, I won't go there today and I'll go there until the mourning hall is set up tomorrow." The old man said.
He thought for a while and ordered Uncle Ming, "You go and see what you need to help with in the Duke's Mansion. Whether it is money or manpower, if you lack it, come back and say a word to the Hou Mansion."
"Yes!" Uncle Ming took the order and left.
Cui knew that he always believed that the dead were the most important thing and attached great importance to the things behind him. Perhaps because he was getting older, he became much more sensitive to this matter.
He sighed and said, "It's not necessarily good before death. I don't even worship after death. What's the use of such unfilial descendants?"
Cui said: "I heard that this old lady is not good to the young lady. Maybe it's because she has accumulated grudges. The young lady is still young and has not been able to overcome the grudges."
"What are the grudges? It's not the grudges of killing your father, nor is it the grudges of killing your body." The old man actually heard of some grudges between the grandparents and grandchildren. However, no matter how deep the grudges are, they are still a family. Jinning was a Zhuangzi in Qingzhou before. When she came back, the old lady was in the southern country again. It was not long before the two really met, so how could there be deep grudges?
And as a junior, you cannot hold a grudge against your ancestors. Isn’t the thoughts and concerns of your ancestors and parents for the younger generation?
The old man became more and more angry the more he thought about it. She is now from the Hou Mansion. She is so cold and ruthless that when it is heard, she only says that it is the Hou Mansion.
"Come on, I'll go to the General's Mansion and say that the young lady will not go back to attend the funeral. I'll ask the general or the old lady to teach you a lesson... to persuade you." The old man shouted.
"Yes!" The servant outside the door went there after order.
The old man snorted: "I thought that Zi Yan didn't like his wife now, and the wife was very biased in her behavior. She wanted to ask the young lady to take charge of the affairs of the inner house. Fortunately, I haven't given this order yet. Who would have thought that she would have misjudged the person?"
Cui didn't say anything, just drank porridge quietly.
"Does Ziyan know about this? He has always loved the young lady and has not treated her as his own daughter. If he knew, he would be disappointed." The old man suddenly asked.
Cui raised his head, took his hand and whispered: "We need to look at this again, so we should not make a judgment too early."
"What else can I see? You tell me, where are the descendants who don't attend the funeral of my grandmother?" The old man still held this point and refused to let go.
"Also, could Jingting let her go?"
After talking like this for a long time, Cui was annoyed. She sat aside to embroider the flowers and was too lazy to speak.
After a while, Uncle Ming came back and said, "Old Master, the general said he knew about this."
"When will the general come?" the old man was excited and asked.
"The General didn't say it, nor did the old lady say it."
"Didn't say it? Then what do they mean?" The old man was stunned.
"I haven't said anything else. After I reported it, the general and the old lady said they knew it, and then sent me back." Uncle Ming said.
"So strange?" The old man thought to himself.
Cui said lightly, "Maybe you're busy, and you may not be sure to come here at night."
"Yes, the general is busy with military affairs, so he may not have time to come now." The old man nodded and said.
Uncle Ming said, "No, the general and the old lady seem to be planning to go out for a few days. When I went there, I was packing my luggage."
"How many days are you going out? You still have to pack your clothes? This... isn't even General Zhen's side? This is my in-laws!" The old man was surprised.
Uncle Ming said: "When the old lady looks very bad, I guess she is an old and sick person. The general has always felt sorry for the old lady, and is afraid she is unwilling to let her go to the funeral."
"Yes, I heard that the old lady always got sick when she was in the border town. I didn't expect that she had not recovered when she returned to Beijing. Yes, they were old and now they were of the same generation, so they were inevitably distracted. The general took the old lady away for a few days to relax his energy. It was reasonable, but the younger generation below had to help with the company. Alas, this young lady is really disappointing."
Seeing that he had found a reason for explaining to others, Cui kept holding on to the young lady and said, "This funeral is about the intention. If you don't have this intention, it will be useless to go there. Why bother to force me?"
The old man snorted, "I don't even have this intention, you can imagine how cold and ruthless she is."
On the other side of Ningse Pavilion.
Madam Qian saw the old man's attitude.
The old man is stubborn and scheming, and attaches great importance to ethics and education. He is also a follower of the emperor's benevolence and filial rule. His reaction is so great that it shows how much storm will be caused once this matter starts.
She glanced at Jinning who was embroidering eggs, and didn't want to say anything to increase the pressure on her. Instead, Jinning put down the embroidery and said, "Let's go and inspect the store."
"Okay, go out for a walk and relax!" said Madam Qian.
Jinning called Ke Ling Keli, and the master and servant walked out. When they came out of the door, they saw Mr. Chen walking in.
Mr. Chen walked straight past, as if he didn't see Jin Ning. Jin Ning naturally ignored him and passed by him.
When he left the door, he said coldly: "I'll give you 2,500 or 80,000 yuan, it's like we owe him."
Madam Qian said, "What do you care about? Let's go."
"I don't care, but I'm too arrogant. When the dog enters the door and barks the owner, he knows how to wag his tail. He's fine!" Ke Ling was really angry.
