Chapter 211
Lou Yingyan took her son Mo Ge'er back to the capital from Runan. She was a child born in the first month of last year. The eldest princess went to Runan in person and stayed there for a few days before returning to the capital. Mo Ge'er's full name is Jiang Mo. He is old in the month and one year older than Xun Ge'er, but he looked like a little adult. He got off the carriage with Sister Yan, and was a little unfamiliar with the surroundings and was not very open-minded. However, his face was chubby and cute.
Seeing that Xue Chen was holding Xun Ge'er in his hand, he dared to leave his mother's side and walked towards Xun Ge'er.
Brother Xun was holding a leather rattle in his hand and was chewing in his mouth. Recently, Brother Xun had four upper and lower teeth in his mouth and bite them. Sometimes, Lou Qingyun put his finger into his mouth, and he was not polite at all, let alone the things on his hand. Xue Chen was not careful and he stuffed the things into his mouth.
Mo Ge'er walked over, his small body, wearing a gray silk, scattered flowers, and looked like an old-fashioned gentleman, completely incompatible with his cute appearance. He respectfully shouted to Xue Chen: "Auntie."
When Xue Chen saw him staring at Xun Ge'er, he asked him to sit beside him and put Xun Ge'er in the middle. Mo Ge'er reached out and took away the rattle from Xun Ge'er's hand. Xun Ge'er was chewing, and the things in his hand disappeared. His first reaction was to look at Xue Chen. Seeing that Xue Chen ignored him, he didn't cry, so he planned to reach out to grab it himself, but how old he was. Mo Ge'er is over three years old, because he is old, equivalent to a four-year-old child. Xun Ge'er could not rob him. Mo Ge'er also thought that Xun Ge'er was fun and deliberately robbed him. Xun Ge'er seemed to be aroused of fighting spirit. One hand didn't work, but on both hands, Xue Chen had to guard against him not to grab Mo Ge'er's face.
Brother Xun looked at him, but he was very strong. He stood up with Xun Ge'er's arm hanging, opened his mouth and bit Mo Ge'er's arm. Brother Mo hurt and started crying: "Wow—"
Xue Chen quickly separated the two children and placed Xun Ge'er on the Arhat bed, let Xia Zhu look at him, walked over, looked at Mo Ge'er's arm, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at him, it was a little red, but fortunately there was no tooth mark, Mo Ge'er was just scared. After crying for a while, he felt that it didn't hurt much, so he stopped crying. However, his crying still brought Yan Jie'er and Han Jie'er over, and Xue Chen said to Yan Jie'er:
"The children were having fun, but I didn't watch it. I asked Brother Xun to bite Brother Mo. I'm sorry for my sister and Brother Mo."
Sister Yan was not unreasonable either. She smiled and said, "What's wrong with me! He must have been bothering Brother Xun. He has been restless since he was a child and bullied people in the mansion. Today, he finally met his opponent."
Previously, Sister Yan talked to the old lady and the eldest princess there, but now because of the two children, Sister Yan and Sister Han sit in the inner room and talk to Xue Chen.
It turned out that Yan Jie'er came back this time for Rou Jie'er's marriage. The King of Runan had a good-looking cousin. It is said that he was old and had outstanding character and appearance. The old princess of Runan mentioned Rou Jie'er. The Jiang family seemed very satisfied, but they were afraid that the Lou family was too high and they could not stick to it. After all, they were not the main branch of the King of Runan, so they asked Yan Jie'er to go back to the capital and ask about the Lou family's meaning.
"I told my mother before, but she didn't have much objection to the family. The key is to see if the child is good. If he is a good character, my mother will not dislike him as a branch of the Jiang family." Lou Yingyan said truthfully.
Xue Chen controlled Xun Ge'er, who was crawling around, and saw that although Mo Ge'er was bitten and leaned against his mother's arms, his black eyes were still staring at Xun Ge'er. Xue Chen waved to him again. After Mo Ge'er hesitated for a moment, he came over again. Xue Chen took off his little boots for him and asked him to go to the Arhat bed, so that the two brothers would play.
"The side branches are nothing. The key is to rely on Sister Rou. After all, Runan is a little far away."
Xue Chen is the eldest sister-in-law, so she is naturally qualified to talk about Lou Yingrou’s marriage. After hearing Xue Chen’s words, Yan Jie'er nodded and said, “Oh, I know this. If it were me, I wouldn’t be willing to let Rou Jie'er marry that far away. Although I am also there, after all, she is a wife. Unlike being a girl at home, I have no choice. My mother-in-law asked me to come back and ask, but I couldn’t push her for my sister without asking. I thought I hadn’t come back to see my parents and you for a long time, so I took the opportunity to come back and have a look.”
Lou Yinghan also laughed and said, "It turns out that this is my sister's purpose."
Lou Yingyan didn't deny it and said, "Hmph, you don't go to see me on weekdays. If I don't come back, you all forgot that Runan has me, my sister."
After talking for a while, Madam Jin came to call Xue Chen to talk, saying that the old lady had something to discuss with her. Xue Chen thought that it should be said that Sister Rou had a marriage, so she handed Xun Ge'er to Xia Zhu and the others to watch and entered the screen over there.
In the screen, the old lady's face was a little solemn, and the eldest princess was frowning. There were Han and Bao next to her. Madam Sun, who was standing in the middle, saw Xue Chen coming in, Bao took the initiative to help her sit next to the old lady, and then sat down next to Xue Chen. Seeing that everyone's expression was a little wrong, Xue Chen asked:
"What's wrong? I'm all frowning?"
Madam Sun specializes in taking stock of gifts. Her husband is the housekeeper Liu Bo. The couple has been working in the Duke's Mansion for some time and has many rules in cooking. Xue Chen has been the housekeeper for so many years and is quite acknowledged the ability of the couple. Seeing Madam Sun coming here at this time, she should be busy organizing the gifts that Sister Yan brought back from Runan in the office, but for some reason it appeared here.
A bad premonition arose in his heart. Sure enough, the old lady waved her hand, and Madam Sun took a wooden tray beside the old lady to Xue Chen. Xue Chen looked down and saw a red booklet on it. Under the booklet was pressed by a pair of mandarin ducks and buckled jade pendants. She was suspicious in her heart. When she looked at the old lady, she sighed again, and the eldest princess rarely showed a displeasure on her face.
Xue Chen opened the red book and looked at it twice, frowned, and asked Madam Sun, "Where did this thing come from?"
Madam Sun replied in a low voice: "Yes... it is hidden in the gift brought back by the eldest lady."
This red book is nothing else, it is the Jiang family’s appointment letter and Jiang Wulang’s eight characters Geng letter. The book states that this is a token of love. The Jiang family came to propose marriage three months later.
If they took this thing in a daze and ignored it, three months later, when the Jiang family came to propose marriage, the Lou family would not argue. In order to preserve their reputation, they had to marry Roujie... What a dirty and despicable method...
Xue Chen recalled Yan Jie'er's previous attitude and obviously didn't know about this. She was being used by the Jiang family to plot against her parents' home. The old lady slapped the table and said coldly:
"The Runan Prince's Mansion is too disregarded by our Lou family."
No wonder the old lady would be angry, because anyone would be angry when it was put on this matter. Xue Chen lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said:
"I'm afraid I have to check this matter. Who is the meaning of it? If the third wife of the Jiang family makes the decision without authorization, it is impossible to blame the King of Runan and the Old Princess. But if the King of Runan and the Old Princess know about this matter, then our family must think about what to do."
The old lady has a bad temper: "What should I do? What can I do? I just want to deceive our Lou girl in such a confused way? How can I do such a cheap thing in the world? It's a thank you to the Jiang family that can do it!"
Xue Chen stepped forward, supported the old lady and comforted him, "Don't be angry, don't be anxious. This matter has not been investigated clearly, and it may not be what King Runan knew about it."
"Does he know that it was all done by their Jiang family? It's so insidious. Even if Jiang Wuro is a good one, our family will not marry her daughter! Even if she loses her reputation because of this, she will never marry such a despicable family."
Xue Chen was also angry, but he didn't show as excited as the old lady. When the eldest princess heard this, she couldn't help crying.
The Jiang family's approach is actually the most harmful thing about her mother. Whether it is to ruin the reputation of her three daughters or to offend her eldest daughter's son-in-law, in short, her two daughters are just going to suffer and be implicated.
After the old lady said anger, she finally calmed down. Han stood up and said, "Look, it's not a solution for us to do this here. I'd better call Sister Yan to ask. Wouldn't you know whether the King of Runan knows this?"
Bao also agreed and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, King Runan is Yan Jie'er's husband. They both will never hide anything. You will know if you ask."
The old lady didn't stop her, and Han knew that she went out and shouted herself. After a while, Sister Yan was called over again. Seeing that everyone's faces were not right, the eldest princess actually sat there crying. When the old lady saw her confused appearance, she was angry and anxious. She was so angry that she was not smart and did not make progress. What was anxious was how she would face the Jiang family in the future.
Madam Sun asked her to take the thing and tell Sister Yan again. Sister Yan didn't understand what it was at first, but later she looked at the words in the red booklet and the Geng Post in it, and she was stunned. Looking at her expression, everyone knew that she didn't know that she had been stumbled by the Jiang family all the way back.
After closing the booklet, Yan Jie'er frowned and her eyes turned red, but she was so strong that she didn't cry. Instead, she sat aside and realized that the old lady was asking questions.
"You are talking! Do you not know about this at all? Who prepared the gift you came back for you? Is that boy Jiang Zhidao?"
The King of Runan was named Jiang Zhidao. Sister Yan shook her head and said, "No, it's not him! Yes, it was prepared by my mother-in-law. I was anxious to come back, and I only knew to check the things around me. But the mother-in-law prepared these things and told me that they were local specialties brought to you, but she didn't tell me that there was such a thing hidden in it!"
After hearing this, the old lady finally closed her eyes and sighed: "You! You are also confused about this kind of thing."
Sister Yan sat there at a loss, finally unable to hold back, and tears fell down. Obviously, she knew what the consequences would be if this matter was done.
Han said for Yan Jie'er: "Don't calm down, this is not our Yan Jie'er intentional. Who would have thought that the old princess would do this with her? It's hard to guard against the thief at night, let alone the old princess deliberately hides it from her. Yan Jie'er has been honest since she was a child, so how could she understand the scruples here?"
Sister Yan cried even harder.
The eldest princess couldn't bear to cry as soon as her daughter came back. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. The old lady sighed again at the crying mother and daughter. Even if she wanted to scold her, she could not scold her. She had never known that the eldest granddaughters of the Lou family were not that powerful. Yan Jie'er was the strongest among their sisters, but when facing these secrets, she was still not scheming and was rushed back with a whip to plot against her parents' home.
