C171 You shouldn'st have hidden it from me
You shouldn't have hidden it from me
Wu Niang's eyes were fierce, she was in a daze, her heart suddenly felt that the woman was terrifying, then she suddenly remembered what happened before, and asked: "Why do you hate the Song Family so much, it was you who asked me for the person, and the one who was in a difficult situation was the woman your brother forsaken, right?"
His words caused scars on the faces of the three people, tofu hyacinth and the Elementary Scholar were a little uncomfortable.
However, Wu Niang only sneered: "Whenever I think of this person, I will remember my birth. "How did you get changed in the first place?"
She saw the past as a disgrace. As long as the Song family was around, she would never forget this disgrace. It was as if the poverty and embarrassment from before had always surrounded her.
The Elementary Scholar returned to his room, cleaned himself, changed his clothes, and sent Zheng Dahu out.
The two at the door addressed each other as brothers, acting as if they were good friends. Zheng Dahu's subordinates had already dispersed the spectators.
Seeing that he had come out, a servant came over with a horse. Zheng Dahu jumped on the horse and walked over, "Brother Zheng, the days are numbered, I hope you can make a decision soon."
Zheng Dahu looked at him, nodded his head seriously, and left the place on his horse.
After a few days, A Yunniang made a trip back to the city, and when she came back, she brought them back, and directly went to look for Mian Niang, entering Madame Song's house. When Madame Li saw Mian Niang, her expression darkened, but because of A Yunniang, she did not directly chase him out, and could only stand by the door.
The cotton shoes that were half made on the brick bed had already been thrown to the side, the new shoes in his hand was Song Zhien's shoes.
A Yunniang flipped the small basket over and said, "Your needlework is still so good."
When Madame Song saw Mian Niang, her heart was filled with anger, and even her tone towards A Yunniang was unfriendly: "Her sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it, no need to keep on beating me up."
Her words were unpleasant to listen to. A Yunniang only made two "tsk tsk" sounds, and realized that there were too many disturbing truths about her family. He did not take it to heart, and only told her what he had heard from the county city.
"Mei Family has already sold the house, and all the servants have been sent away, the entire family has moved away. As for the matter between Zheng Dahu and the Zheng Family, the reason Zheng Dahu went to the Mei Family was to befriend that Elementary Scholar, and to begin with, he and Wu Niang were innocent. It's all because someone made it up to frame them. "
Mian Niang was unwilling to believe it: "It's not the first time that those two people have flaunted the market, I've also seen them before."
Song Li looked at Mian Niang suspiciously. She had initially suspected that she was spouting nonsense, but when she recalled it again, the one who told them all these things was still A Yunniang, so she couldn't just be spouting nonsense.
"Who knows? There must be something behind this. Do you know who the man who took Wu Niang away was?"
The mother and daughter looked at each other. Madame Song Li quickly cast a glance over, but didn't say a word.
Mian Niang thought for a while, then said honestly: "Prince Rong!"
"How do you know?"
This time, it was A Yunniang's turn to be shocked, and Madame Song Li was also looking at her daughter reproachfully. She did not know whether or not she should tell A Yunniang the truth, but she had already decided that as long as it was Mian Niang's decision, it would all be wrong.
Mian Niang only felt that since A Yunniang was so focused on helping her family find information, if he were to continue hiding this from her, it would not make sense.
"If he was not from an illustrious background, how would Wu Niang have let him go? We already knew about it when Ah'ge was in trouble, it's just that we didn't dare to say it out loud because we were afraid of implicating everyone."
A Yunniang was a little unable to stand, he supported himself and sat down on the edge of the brick bed, his gaze sweeping across Lady Song and Mian Niang a few times, "At that time, did your family know about it?"
Mian Niang bit her lips and nodded.
"Heh heh, that's true, I remember now, back when we were in the court case, the young master of the Gu family was also there. If it wasn't for the fact that his identity was higher, his family background was better, and his authority was higher, how could your family's Dalang be unbalanced?"
Madame Song Li didn't know how to explain.
She only used her eyes to look at Mian Niang.
Mian Niang sat over there, pulled A Yunniang's hand and called out, "Aunt."
He said sincerely: "If you are blaming us for hiding this from everyone, you should be hitting them, cursing them, but the things that happened at that time were not something we could decide, then you saw Prince Rong, you saw it yourself, it was only a matter of one sentence, he did not reveal his identity, if the news were to spread from us, the whole of Tian Jia Wan would not have a good ending."
"I know, but even if I did, I would still be angry. It's fine if you're hiding it from others, but why are you hiding it from me? If I didn't find out about it today, would you be hiding it for the rest of your lives?"
"I don't know." Mian Niang shook his head, and said: "It may depend on the situation, but if we were to say that it is not good for the people from Tian Jia Wan, we will have to hide it for the rest of our lives."
A Yunniang looked at her helplessly. He was angry but also felt pain, and for a moment, he did not know what to say. In the end, he could only point at Mian Niang's forehead and say a few words: "You, you, what do you want me to say, you family, what are you going to say?
Hiding the fact that everyone was not Mian Niang's family, the Minister did not even mention anything about his wife.
Naturally, Mian Niang would not say these words, she only looked at A Yunniang, and suddenly regretted it. She had never said these words, if the people from the Tian Jia Wan offend the Prince Tian Xiang without knowing, then it would be bad luck.
If you don't tell me, is this a mistake?
Mian Niang had no way of telling for a while.
Seeing her confused and uncomfortable expression, A Yunniang could not hold it in anymore. He patted her shoulder and comforted her:
"Don't think too much into it. Actually, if you think about it carefully, you really shouldn't talk about this."
"Aunt …" At a time like this, A Yunniang still wanted to console himself and his mother. Now, Mian Niang was truly surrounded by guilt and bewilderment.
"Don't think too much into it. We've lived in the east and west courtyards for so many years. Aunt, do you not know what you two are thinking?"
She turned her head to Madame Song Li and took her hand. She held it tightly in her own. "Sister-in-law, this matter is already over. Don't take it to heart. No matter what happened in the past, we still have to live, no?"
Madame Song and Li nodded. She also felt uncomfortable in her heart. To be able to bring up Prince Rong, to be able to bring up Gu Yan, it was as if her heart had been fried in a frying pan.
"However, the two of you, listen to me as well. If you bring up this matter again in the future, don't forget about the identity of that Prince Rong ever being known by both of you."
A Yunniang warned with a dark face.
"Why?"
"Why do you say that? Not everyone has the same thoughts as you, even though you're hiding it from everyone, aren't you hurting everyone's hearts as well? I'll tell you the truth, you already knew that Mian Niang had told me about it when I first heard it. I'm also very angry, but I feel that I should just be good to you guys for free.
A Yunniang's words were a little on Mian Niang's forehead.
Mian Niang bit her lips and did not say a word.
Madame Song Li also felt guilty and uncomfortable. She quickly asked, "Then what about you now?"
"It's useless for me to be angry now, even if you had told me that back then, I wouldn't have been able to help much, and being rash would have easily offended someone. If you had truly angered that Prince Rong, that wouldn't have been worth it.
'Sister-in-law, we're afraid of him. What is he, a prince from the heavens, a prince from a noble family with golden branches and jade leaves, even that young master from the Gu family doesn't dare to fight to the death with him. What do you think we can do? What should he do now that he had implicated his family and neighbors? "How can this poor man who has no money and no power use it to fight with others?"
The words that came out from her heart was like blades of steel, piercing towards Mian Niang and her daughter's heart.
The mother and daughter pair were brought to grief, the tears in their eyes could no longer be held back. A Yunniang never thought that he would lose so much skin, and instead cause the two of them to shed tears.
He sighed and began comforting the mother and daughter again.
Just as he was speaking, someone came in through the window, and through the window, he could not see the other party's face, so Mian Niang immediately wiped away his tears and walked out.
A Yunniang heard the voice coming from outside the courtyard, and advised Mrs Song Li: "Sister-in-law, old sister has been here for so many years, listen to my advice, no matter how much trouble Mian Niang has, she should still be your daughter right? Look at your house! It's all because of her now, so let's not talk about how far away we are. Let's just talk about how she went out to sell tofu, how much anger she suffered, and how much money she paid to be accompanied by smiles from the outside. We'll have to see how careful you have to be when you come home, even if you don't want to enter the house, if your elder brother goes, you'll feel uncomfortable. "Listen to my advice and don't make things difficult for that child anymore …"
Madame Song Li did not like hearing those words, so she could not reject A Yunniang in front of him. She could only helplessly nod her head: "I know what I'm doing."
"You know what you're doing. I can see that you don't …"
The voices in the courtyard were getting closer and closer, the two of them could tell that something was wrong. Mian Niang called her Second Aunt, which was extremely courteous, and her words actually had the intention of chasing her out.
The two of them looked at each other, they did not understand what was going on, but A Yunniang muttered, "Mian Niang is not this kind of person to drive guests out?" After getting off the floor, he walked to the door and pushed it open, just in time to bump into the other party.
"It's you guys?"
When Madame Song heard her tone, she quickly craned her neck to look and asked, "Who is it, her wife?"
Mian Niang was also outside. She did not ask her daughter about it, and had instead asked A Yunniang for confirmation.
A Yunniang's face was a little ugly, she turned to the side, allowing the other party to enter: "Look for yourself!"
Wu Niang's eyes were fierce, she was in a daze, her heart suddenly felt that the woman was terrifying, then she suddenly remembered what happened before, and asked: "Why do you hate the Song Family so much, it was you who asked me for the person, and the one who was in a difficult situation was the woman your brother forsaken, right?"
