Chapter 837: Red Face and White Face, Both Soft and Hard

The people in Zhao Shangshu's Mansion got the news the next morning. After getting the news, the concubine of Zhao Shangshu's Mansion came over and made a visit in person.

Mrs. Zhao met Mrs. Zhao in the flower hall. Shao Caihuan and Shao Wanru came with Mrs. Zhao from the Xingguo Palace, and Zhao Xiran came with Mrs. Zhao from her side.

After everyone was seated, Mrs. Zhao did not drink tea. She looked at Mrs. Zhao coldly and asked: "Excuse me, what do you mean? If you don't like Ran'er, our two families don't have to get married, so why bother?" When something like this happened, it was originally said to be a small courtyard, but now it’s even gone?”

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was here to ask questions, Mrs. Zhao kept her posture very low and said with a smile: "Why are you dissatisfied with Miss Zhao? Such a beautiful girl, I have seen her since she was a child, and she How could you not like it, but this is really an accident!”

"Accident? An accident can burn all the furniture in Ran'er's dowry. This is the furniture that we have prepared for more than ten years. It has been prepared since Ran'er was young. I didn't expect that it would be destroyed like this before it was used. Yes, you... you..." Mrs. Zhao coughed loudly.

Zhao Xiran hurriedly stood behind Mrs. Zhao and patted her back gently, which made her Mrs. Zhao recover. Seeing her calm face and peaceful expression, Shao Wanru's watery eyes condensed slightly. , and then slowly lowered to the ground in front of him.

Listening quietly to the quarrel between the two ladies above.

Shao Caihuan was a little anxious. She knew what happened last night early in the morning, and even knew that Shao Wanru was involved again, but she didn't know the details. When she met Shao Wanru, she remained silent and leaned over. Lai asked with concern: "Fifth sister, are you feeling unwell?"

Shao Wanru shook his head and said nothing.

"If fifth sister feels any discomfort, she should go to rest first. I will stay with my grandmother here!" Shao Caihuan became more and more concerned. She felt that Shao Wanru's face was not looking good today.

Shao Wanru's face was indeed not very good. She didn't fall asleep immediately after returning yesterday. She thought about everything first, and then analyzed Wen Xichi's temperament and felt that it didn't look like Wen Xichi in any way. Shouldn't he be proud of what he can do?

Speaking of which, this matter actually has nothing to do with Wen Xichi. Wen Xichi is not the kind of person who would take the initiative to intervene, but he intervened and stood on his side. This is Shao Wanru I couldn't figure it out, so I fell asleep after thinking about it, but I kept dreaming all night.

There are those in the past life and some in this life, and they always end in nightmares. The last scene is still the same bloody one, with so many dead women. Is this crazy? Why was this happening? There was an answer in her mind that she couldn't believe.

Despair and darkness?

Was he dead at that time? Those eyes that were blinded by despair and thick darkness? A person like him doesn't even care about his own life, so how can he care about other people?

Suddenly waking up from a nightmare, Shao Wanru has not fallen asleep. He no longer thinks about Wen Xichi and tries hard to think about what happened after he entered the palace in his previous life. What happened to him after entering the palace and how to follow him? Chu Liuchen is an acquaintance. Do you know Chu Liuchen, or have they really known each other?

The memory was full of confusion. She couldn't remember it. She had a headache. She had a dull night. Today, her face was as pale as snow. It was obvious at a glance that she was not in good spirits.

Shaking his head slightly, Shao Wanru declined politely: "I have nothing to do, thank you third sister!"

While the two were talking, Mrs. Zhao had calmed down, picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip, "Just tell me, this matter is settled now!"

"Naturally, we need to choose a good yard to prepare for the marriage again. Don't worry, Miss Zhao will not be wronged. The things purchased will only be of good quality. As for the part that was burned, we will definitely compensate according to the original price. You will be satisfied!" Madam promised again and again.

"Choose a good courtyard? I heard that this courtyard was burned down because a young lady in your family lost it. I also heard that this courtyard was picked by the second lady in your family." Mrs. Zhao put down the tea cup. Said sarcastically.

It's not easy to find out what happened last night, but it's not a secret that Shao Jie'er chose the yard.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zhao. Since you are here, I will ask Mrs. Zhao to help you choose this time. As long as you are successful, there will be no problems in our house!" Mrs. Xingguo repeatedly patted her chest and promised.

Shao Wanru's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes were filled with coldness. Sure enough, he came here for his father's courtyard. The trouble was actually caused by the Zhao Shangshu Mansion and the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion joining forces to occupy the Quhuan Courtyard where his father was the heir apparent. Already, the current drama is just to silence grandma.

If it was confirmed by Shao Jie'er yesterday that he had indeed sent someone to talk to Shao Jie'er, this matter would have fallen on him. What if it was because of the fault of a young lady in the house that this fault would fall on him. Grandma arrived At that time, even if I wanted to help myself push, I couldn't say it.

It must have happened that the fire in the yard was probably his own doing, otherwise the yard would not have caught fire after leading Shao Jie'er away.

Moreover, if it is confirmed that her maid has been involved, the wife will not investigate. On the surface, she means to protect herself, but in fact, she silently blames the matter on herself. This silent non-investigation continues. His attitude is the most harmful to others. Even if he wants to defend himself, he cannot defend himself.

And I have to express my gratitude to the madam.

She pursed her lips slightly, she wanted to see how they behaved today and how they took Quhuan Courtyard as their own.

Shuimu raised her head as if aware, and met Zhao Xiran's gentle eyes. Seeing Shao Wanru looking back at her, she smiled softly, which was very gentle and made people feel good.

Shao Wanru lowered his head and continued to watch them continue to act in front of him, a quiet listener. As for Miss Zhao, she did not seem to be a simple character.

"Should we choose by ourselves? I'm afraid that when I choose, I'll be told that this one is bad and that one is bad!" Mrs. Zhao sneered.

"How could it be possible? As long as it's what Mrs. Tai likes and it's vacant, any yard will do!" Mrs. Tai agreed repeatedly with a smile on her face.

His posture became lower and lower.

"Okay, that's what your family promised, don't regret it when the time comes!" Mrs. Zhao looked at Mrs. Zhao with satisfaction and said.

"That's natural!" Mrs. Tai looked calm and pointed at Shao Wanru and Shao Caihuan. "These are my two granddaughters, the granddaughters of the eldest brother and the third brother. Both of them are also Agree to this."

"Miss Shao San, Miss Shao Wu?" Mrs. Zhao didn't know anything about the two of them. Her eyes fell on the two of them, and the most important thing was Shao Wanru. She looked at them carefully and looked at them repeatedly. Nodding, "These two young ladies from your mansion are indeed as good as pearls and fairy dew. They are really good."

After saying that, he waved to the two of them, Shao Caihuan and Shao Wanru stood up together. Mrs. Zhao took off a pair of bracelets from her hands, put one on Shao Caihuan's hand, and the other held Shao Wanru's hand. To put it on, "It's the first time we meet, and there's nothing good to offer, so I'll give this bracelet to you two!"

His attitude was very gentle, completely different from the way he looked at the Dowager just now. He looked like an amiable elder.

As soon as he saw the bracelet, Shao Wanru knew it was worth a lot. Then he looked at the other clothes on the lady's body. Although they were expensive, they were not ostentatious. Only this bracelet revealed a different kind of splendor. At a glance, he knew it was specially made for young people. It was prepared by a girl, and the three rubies set on it dazzled everyone's eyes.

He was so soft on others, not to mention that Madam Madam just now had agreed on her behalf. If she took over this bracelet again, she would not be able to say anything else. Even if grandma comes over, she has her own promise. Grandma Can't say anything.

One is hard, the other is soft, it’s not just myself that I want to deal with, but also my grandmother!

Taking a step back and avoiding Mrs. Zhao's hand, Shao Wanru bowed respectfully to Mrs. Zhao, "I don't dare accept such an expensive gift from Mrs. Zhao!"

Shao Caihuan, who was looking at the bracelet in his hand with joy, was stunned, and hurriedly took the bracelet out of his hand and presented it respectfully: "Madam, this is indeed too valuable, we dare not accept it!"

Shao Caihuan tried hard to be consistent with Shao Wanru. Yesterday's incident had already made Shao Wanru unhappy, and she had no intention of rekindling their identity with Shao Wanru today.

Even though the bracelet made Shao Caihuan very excited, and even though the lady on the side seemed to appreciate her actions, Shao Caihuan still felt that it was better to be consistent with Shao Wanru at this time.

Mrs. Zhao's smile froze on her face. She held the bracelet in her hand and turned back to look at Mrs. Zhao. The smile on Mrs. Zhao's face was ugly at this time. Although she was smiling, she didn't look like she was really smiling. That's what she was talking about.

"Three girls and five girls are gifts from the elders. I dare not refuse. I have not thanked Mrs. Zhao!" Mrs. Zhao took a strong breath and suppressed the anger and irritability in her heart. This was very painful for herself. Face, he actually rejected Mrs. Zhao Futai’s advances in front of him. Didn’t this clearly mean that what he said before did not count!

Shao Caihuan hesitated, looked at the bracelet in his hand, and then at his grandmother's face. He didn't know whether he should follow his heart and listen to his grandmother's words this time.

But he was afraid that Shao Wanru would be angry, so he turned around to peek at Shao Wanru.

Shao Wanru raised his head and looked at Mrs. Tai with stern eyes, with a bit of coldness and anger in his expression.

The madam felt inexplicably bad, and she hurriedly lowered her face and said, "Fifth girl, could it be that you want to disobey grandma's wishes?"
