Magnolia Garden has always been the old lady's heartache.
After so many years, Magnolia Garden is not open, and she doesn't have those nightmares.
Magnolia Garden opened, and her nightmares followed one after another.
The most important thing is that someone saw the same scene as her dream.
"It's all nonsense. I think you are just following what others say and are confused."
Mother Zhao scolded the little girl.
"Only Aunt Zhou has a child in the house. The princess and Aunt Lin have not given birth yet. Who would hold the child and wander around Magnolia Garden in white clothes in the middle of the night?"
"It's true, Mother Zhao, I really saw it!"
The little girl has said everything she can, but she doesn't know how to say it more convincingly, so she can only keep repeating this sentence.
"Old madam, don't believe this girl's nonsense, I will drive her away right now," Zhao Ma said.
However, the old lady shook her head and ordered, "Ask Lin Gui to stop working and stop touching every plant and tree in Magnolia Garden. Seal Magnolia Garden again and no one is allowed to enter."
"But old lady, I can't explain this to Aunt Zhou..."
"What should I explain to her aunt?" The old lady looked worried.
Zhao Ma's lips lit up with joy.
Sure enough, the next day, Zhou Yao got the news that the renovation of Magnolia Garden had been stopped and the gate would be closed again.
"Manager Lin, what's going on?"
Lin Gui is honest and dull. He does not have his wife's desire for power, nor does he have the thoughts of his daughter Biyu.
Therefore, besides making Biyu look embarrassed, Zhou Yao still trusted Lin Gui to do his work.
Lin Guidao said, "Aunt Zhou, a girl saw a ghost in Magnolia Garden last night, so the old lady asked the door to be temporarily locked and no more construction work to be carried out."
"How is it possible?" Zhou Yao didn't expect, "It's so good, how can there be a ghost?"
And it was clear that in a few days, Magnolia Garden would be repaired and she would be able to live in it.
This time it was better, but suddenly the door was closed again and no one was allowed to enter.
If she had known this was the case, she would not have been picky or make things difficult for Lin Biyu and others. She should have moved in directly as soon as the door of Magnolia Garden opened and then tidied up slowly.
Haunted?
It's not like he died unjustly, so where did the ghost come from?
Besides, Aunt Lan has been dead for more than ten years, why is it now haunted?
There must be someone playing tricks behind the scenes.
Soon, Zhou Yao came to Biyu's room and angrily said, "What good will this do to you?"
"benefit?"
Biyu pretended to be dumbfounded, "What's the benefit? What are you talking about?"
"You must be very happy that Magnolia Garden has been re-sealed!"
"Why should I be happy?"
Biyu said, "I wish you wouldn't be in my yard. I don't want to see you. Do you want to see me every day?"
After hearing Biyu's words, Zhou Yao felt confused again.
This is indeed what both parties are saying. It is true that the two of them work together as one husband, but who wants to live next door to a competitor?
Could it be that she guessed wrong and it wasn't Biyu who was causing trouble?
Seeing that Biyu had no results, Zhou Yao could only go to the old lady to seek justice in person.
If Chen Shaoan hadn't gone out to socialize today, she would have dragged Chen Shaoan to the old lady's presence.
"Old madam, you clearly promised to give Magnolia Garden to me, why did you seal the Magnolia Garden again?"
The old lady was teasing the child in her arms. She said without raising her head, "Didn't you hear the rumors in the house?"
"But old lady, that's just a rumor, not true!"
"What's not true," Zhao Ma said from the side, "Aunt Zhou, even the girls have seen it with their own eyes."
"The ghost of Aunt Lan is still living in Magnolia Garden."
"Just renovating Magnolia Garden has already made Aunt Lan unhappy. If you are allowed to live in it again, then Aunt Lan still doesn't know how to make trouble?"
"Old lady..."
Zhou Yao still wants to fight for herself.
She didn't believe it was haunted at all, and believed that someone was secretly causing mischief.
The old lady said impatiently, "Okay, I didn't mean not to give you Magnolia Garden on purpose, it was really forced by the situation."
"An'er always praises you for being considerate, can't you understand my difficulties?"
"And..." The old lady looked at Zhou Yao coldly, "As an aunt, what qualifications do you have to bargain with me here?"
"Is it to make An'er fall in love with you again, so you have the courage?"
Zhou Yao was speechless.
She is indeed a little proud to have Chen Shaoan back in her arms recently.
So much so that she forgot that the old lady never wanted to see her.
At this time, the baby in the wet nurse's arms made a sound of "yaaa". Listening to the tone, it seemed that she was calling "grandma".
After hearing the child's voice, the old lady hurriedly reached out to pick up the child in the wet nurse's arms.
Zhou Yao also opened her arms, "Chen'er, come here, let me hold you..."
She realized that it was a bit reckless for her to leave the child alone and go to Zhengyang Academy, but at that time, she did not know that it would be difficult for her to become pregnant again.
Now that she can't get Magnolia Garden and is despised by the old lady, the only one she can catch is the "eldest grandson" of the Chen family.
But she thought too simply.
This child was not her biological child.
She ran away for more than three months, and the child was raised by the old lady for more than three months. Now she is not familiar with her anymore.
Seeing Zhou Yao reaching out towards him, he just kept hiding in the old lady's arms.
The old lady is very satisfied with the choice of her child.
Zhou Yao's eyes were dim.
Did she do something wrong?
I shouldn't have left the child behind and looked for Chen Shaoan without hesitation.
Now Chen Shaoan's heart is back, but it is different from before.
The princess and Jasper are separated between them.
It's just a princess, she has no chance of winning, but Biyu is still pregnant with a child after all, and the two of them are the biggest competitors.
"Okay, the child is sleepy. I'm going to take him to sleep. If you have nothing to do, go back!"
The old lady didn’t want to talk to Zhou Yao anymore.
Zhou Yao couldn't explain how she felt when she saw the scene of the warm interaction between her grandfather and grandson.
It was her one move that was wrong.
Finally, the child's true identity was not exposed.
Although there is no way to get the child back from the old lady now, in name, this is still her Zhou Yao's child.
That's enough!
"Right..."
Just when Zhou Yao got up and walked to the door, the old lady called her again.
She said in a cold voice, "Although you contributed a lot to Shao'an's success this time, but this time he returns to Zhengyang Academy, you should not follow him again!"
She is old, but she is not blind.
She could tell clearly whether her son was tired from preparing for exams or from overindulgence.
Therefore, the reason why he was willing to follow Su Nianyun's words and agree to give Yulan Garden to Zhou Yao was simply to save face for his eldest son.
Therefore, when she ordered the magnolia garden to be sealed again, she didn't feel guilty at all against Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao nodded, "Old madam, don't worry, I won't cause trouble."
She had met Chen Shaoan before, when he was the most lonely when he was repeatedly failed in the rankings.
This time, Zhou Yao naturally believed that Chen Shaoan would not pass the exam.
Therefore, she, who wanted to win a man's heart, resorted to drugs.
Now that Chen Shaoan has passed the imperial examination, even if he borrows her courage, she won't dare to act recklessly.
Rather than being a concubine to a descendant of a noble family without fame, she wanted to be a scholar's wife or an official's wife.
She wants Chen Shaoan to have a voice in the Chen Mansion so that she can resist the old lady's tyranny and hegemony.
After leaving the old lady's yard, Zhou Yao fell into trouble again.
She felt unhappy when she thought that she had gone from being the one who bribed Biyu and promised her the position of concubine to living in the courtyard that belonged to Biyu.
If I had known this, I might as well have stayed at the princess's place.
When she thought of this, she felt extremely regretful.
Why did she make the princess angry? Otherwise, the princess would not be so decisive in driving her out.
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it. When Chen Shaoan came back at night smelling of alcohol, she begged in his ear to let him go to Tingfeng Court to apologize to Su Nianyun on her behalf.
"What did you say? You asked me to apologize to the princess for you?"
Chen Shaoan did not take the tea from Zhou Yao and was half drunk and half awake.
"Yes, husband, you are the person the princess cares about most. As long as you speak, the princess will definitely listen."
Zhou Yao puts a high hat on Chen Shaoan, but she knows the real situation best.
Su Nianyun's feelings for Chen Shaoan have long been exhausted by various ups and downs of events.
However, it would definitely be better for Chen Shaoan to come forward to raise this matter than to raise it herself.
She just wanted Chen Shaoan to try it, what if it was possible?
