After Dong Jisheng left, Mrs. Lin became silent, while Dong Yuzhen looked at the bowl of eight-treasure porridge with a sad light in her eyes.
"Zhen'er?" Mrs. Lin woke up from silence and saw her daughter's somewhat sad expression.
"Ah, mother." Dong Yuzhen looked at Mrs. Lin with a forced smile. "This porridge is a bit cold. I'll have someone heat it up." In order to prevent Mrs. Lin from seeing the sadness on her face, Dong Yuzhen wanted to turn around and go out.
"Zhen'er, don't be busy. Mom has something to tell you. Come and sit here." Mrs. Lin pulled Dong Yuzhen to the couch aside and stroked her hand lovingly.
"Zhen'er, there are some things you can't force. Although mother doesn't want you to be disappointed." Dong Yuzhen raised her head after listening to Mrs. Lin's words, her eyes sparkling. "Mother, my daughter just can't figure it out." She couldn't understand.
Why is it the same as the daughter and the father's attitude?
Why is there such a big difference? Whenever Dong Jisheng faces Dong Yuyao, he always shows a kind smile to her, and also asks her about her diet and daily life cordially. When he gets good things from outside, he also lets her choose first, which is euphemistically called
Let Dong Yuzhen give way to her sister.
"You have grown up, and you can understand many things without telling me. These are not your fault." Mrs. Lin sighed in her heart. She didn't know her daughter's grievances. When Dong Yuzhen had low self-esteem because of her appearance, she didn't see how Dong Jisheng comforted her.
Pass her, always holding that
He looked at her with an "unsatisfactory" look. If Dong Yuzhen was completely better than Dong Yuyao in appearance and character, he would still be lukewarm towards her. Although she was closer than before, she could still feel that he was perfunctory. Dong Yuzhen was very
Sensitive, of course you can detect it.
What made Mrs. Lin the most angry was that Dong Jisheng came over and asked what made Dong Yuzhen change so much, and asked her to take it out for Dong Yuyao to use. When she heard this request, Mrs. Lin was so angry that her nails dug deeply into her flesh.
, just looked at it coldly
She looked at him, and when Dong Jisheng was about to become irritated by her gaze, Mrs. Lin slowly told him that this was a secret that was not passed down to others. It was because Dong Yuzhen fell in love with her that she made an exception and helped Dong Yuzhen.
, I’m afraid others are out of luck.
In Mrs. Lin's sarcastic tone, Dong Jisheng couldn't express his anger, so he had to leave with a red face. Because of this, he was careful and indifferent to Mrs. Lin, mother and son for a long time.
Mrs. Lin thought of this and what Dong Jisheng said just now, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. Could it be? "Zhen'er." Mrs. Lin looked at Dong Yuzhen solemnly, "You have to take good care of the things that Miss Xiaozhu sent you.
Except for mother and your brother, no matter who comes to ask for it from you, you cannot give it to them. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Lin's words made Dong Yuzhen very confused. "Mom, why is this?" "Mom just figured it out." Mrs. Lin patted her chest gently. She was also startled by her suspicion just now. "Just now.
Mom may have guessed the origin of the special white rice your father is looking for."
"Where is it?" Dong Yuzhen became excited upon hearing this. She was also very curious. "Do you want to tell dad?" She stood up excitedly.
"Sit down." Mrs. Lin quickly grabbed her, "You can't tell your father about this." "Why?" Dong Yuzhen stood still and turned to look at Mrs. Lin.
"You also know this person." Mrs. Lin thought it was better to tell her daughter. Of course, she should also tell her the seriousness of the matter, otherwise she would say it carelessly. The consequences of the matter may be difficult for her to accept. "Your
Your body is much better than before. Don't you have any ideas? And this porridge?" Mrs. Lin glanced at the eight-treasure porridge on the table. "Don't you think it tastes better than all the porridge you have eaten before?
"
"Mom, you mean, Sister Xiaozhu?" She was so surprised by the sudden news that she couldn't close her mouth. Mrs. Lin looked at her and nodded.
"Where's the father?" Dong Yuzhen looked outside the door. "I think it won't be long before he can guess it. It's just that Miss Xiaozhu is under the care of Muyue Trading Company, and your father can't do anything to her for a while? What if?
It won’t be easy to say as time goes by. As soon as the news gets out, many people will definitely get wind of it, and then your sister Xiaozhu will be in danger."
"Mom, what do you mean, do you mean to blame yourself for the crime?" Dong Yuzhen guessed the key point at once. Mrs. Lin nodded. "You go to Miss Xiaozhu's house and tell her about this matter so that she can deal with it. Don't
You are blindly following other people's opinions."
Dong Yuzhen also understood the seriousness of the matter. Although she didn't want to admit it, she also knew that if Dong Jisheng figured it out, he would definitely make some difficult demands on her and Lin Zhu because of her good relationship with Lin Zhu, or even threaten her.
Not sure.
"Well, I will remind Sister Xiaozhu when I see him." Dong Yuzhen nodded sadly.
"Mom, I know it's a little difficult for you," Mrs. Lin patted her hand, "but some things can't be thought of too simply. If your father did something to Miss Xiaozhu, Muyue Trading Company wouldn't let it go.
If you quit, then not only will your father's purpose not be achieved, but it may also cause unnecessary disasters."
"Don't worry, mother, I will make it clear to sister Xiaozhu." Dong Yuzhen nodded solemnly.
Dong Yuzhen arrived at Lin Zhu's house full of worries. She asked the people around her to knock on the door, but the person who opened the door was someone they didn't know. "Who are you? Why are you here?" Dong Yuzhen looked suspiciously.
Looking at the tall and thick man in front of me, "Where's Uncle Chang Shi?"
"Miss Dong, why are you here again?" Before the person could answer, a surprised voice came from the door. "Chang Tianlei, I can come whenever I want. What does it have to do with you?" Dong Yuzhen and Chang Tianlei were born.
No, every time she came over, Chang Tianlei would laugh at her for eating too much, and not only eating but also taking away. He was often called a bandit by laughter.
Since Chang Tianlei knew them, the guards brought by the old doctor Zhang who opened the door just now invited them in without asking any questions. "Why did Miss Dong come here again this time?" Chang Tianlei looked at her, "Is it possible?
Are you fat again?" "Chang Tianlei," Dong Yuzhen was a little annoyed by what he said. He only made fun of her previous chubby appearance, which made Dong Yuzhen very angry.
"Haha, okay, you're just kidding, you're so stingy." Chang Tianlei also knows how to give up when he's ready. Otherwise, as soon as Dong Yuzhen complains to Lin Zhu, Lin Zhu will ask Chang Shi to increase his training, which will make him paralyzed from exhaustion.
That kind of thing is too much of a loss.
Chang Tianlei told her about the guests at home. "Oh, he is the godfather that sister Xiaozhu mentioned before. What official?" Dong Yuzhen asked curiously. "I heard that he used to be an imperial doctor. Although his official position was not
Gao Ke used to be very valued by the emperor." Chang Tianlei told her the gossip he heard from Chang's mother.
"Really? I'm going to pay a visit later." Chang Tianlei nodded and looked at her, "Not bad. I've learned a lot from Chang's mother for such a long time. I've made a lot of progress." "Humph, of course.
Who is like you? Rotten wood cannot be carved." Dong Yuzhen proudly raised her head and raised her chest. Chang Tianlei looked at her with a half-smile, as if looking at a child asking for praise from an adult.
Dong Yuzhen suddenly blushed at her sight and lowered her head in embarrassment. Suddenly she felt something was wrong. Why should I be embarrassed? "Lead the way." Her repeated expressions made the people accompanying her and Chang Tianlei laugh.
.It’s just that everyone is laughing.
Lin Zhu was reading in the study. Although the Zhang sisters were also here, they were doing their own thing and did not interfere with each other. When Lin Zhu heard someone reporting that Dong Yuzhen was coming, she quickly put down the book in her hand and went out to greet her.
"Sister Zhen." Lin Zhu called to Dong Yuzhen who was still teasing Chang Tianlei. "Sister Xiaozhu, help me teach him a lesson. He always bullies me." Dong Yuzhen trotted to Lin Zhu's side and told her about Chang Tianlei.
Lei's black shape.
Chang Tianlei sent her to the backyard. When he saw Lin Zhu coming out, he stopped going forward. He said hello to Lin Zhu and left, leaving the two sisters there chattering and counting his crimes.
The Zhang sisters, who had heard the commotion in the study, also came out and took a look. Zhang Manqing looked at Dong Yuzhen and Chang Tianlei talking familiarly, wringing the handkerchief in her hand with some jealousy, her eyes seemed to be on fire.
Staring at Dong Yuzhen.
"Sister Zhen, let me introduce you." Lin Zhu led Dong Yuzhen to the Zhang sisters. "They are the granddaughters of my godfather. They came here together to take care of my godfather. This is Sister Manyun. This is Sister Manyun."
This is Sister Manqing. You seem to be about the same age." Zhang Manyun and Dong Yuzhen are similar in age, only about half a year older than Zhang Manqing, so they only call each other by their first names.
"Miss Yuzhen, you have worked hard all the way. You and Sister Zhu talk to each other first, so we sisters won't bother you anymore." After exchanging greetings, Zhang Manyun politely pulled Zhang Manqing away, leaving the two of them in the study.
The Zhang sisters left, and Dong Yuzhen also let go of her temper and pulled Lin Zhu to sit on a chair. "I have something to tell you this time." She looked at Lin Zhu with a serious face, "What is it, so serious?
I asked you to come here in person." Lin Zhu looked at her funny, he had never seen her look so serious before.
So Dong Yuzhen relayed to her what the county magistrate Dong Jisheng said to her mother, Mrs. Lin, at home, and also mentioned a few of Mrs. Lin's conjectures.
"Sister Zhen, thank you for telling me this, and thank you Aunt Yu for thinking about me." Lin Zhu said touchedly. Since she had been with Dong Yuzhen several times, Mrs. Lin asked Lin Zhu to call her Yu as her niece.
Aunt, Mrs. Lin's maiden name is Yayu. "I will take this matter seriously." Lin Zhu nodded affirmatively.
"Sister Zhen, you are tired when you come here. I will take you to the room to have a rest." Dong Yuzhen came here without even drinking water, so he told her the news first. Lin Zhu saw that she was a little tired and quickly let her go.
Take a rest. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
