Xiangtao knew what this meant, and her expression did not change. Instead, she walked towards the voice, stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open and entered.
"Grandma, I'm here to see you!"
The moment the door was pushed open, her voice trembled slightly.
Since Mrs. Ruan woke up, she may have seen through all the past, or she may be trying to redeem herself for the mistakes she made before. After seeing the Guanyin statue in this house, she peacefully eats and prays there every day. yyls
This was the place she originally rented, she knew it. As to why she could live here safely and with someone taking care of her, she had a vague guess in her heart.
It doesn't matter whether she is cowardly and escaping, has seen through the world of mortals, and doesn't care about worldly affairs, but she won't ask about it anyway.
At this time, she was kneeling on the futon as usual, with her eyes closed tightly, tapping the wooden fish with one hand, holding the prayer beads in the other, muttering something silently, immersed in her own world.
Suddenly the door was pushed open and a voice came from the doorway, which made her whole body stiffen and her eyes opened.
Xiangtao looked at the much older man kneeling there, the tip of her nose felt sore, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.
"grandmother!"
Seeing that she didn't turn around, Xiangtao couldn't help but shout again.
Mrs. Ruan stopped what she was doing and still knelt there. She didn't look back. She just stretched out her hand holding the beads and waved to her, indicating where she came from and where she was going back.
Knowing that Taozi was here, she was completely certain in her heart that it was because of who she could live here safely now.
What Taozi said to her in the past was still fresh in her mind. She was wrong and she kept making the same mistake again and again. She had no shame in seeing this girl.
Xiangtao walked up to Mrs. Ruan in three steps and placed the bundle on the altar table. She also knelt down and cried: "Grandma, you are so cruel, how could you bring her away without saying a word?"
When you came to the capital with Zhizhi, have you ever thought that my mother is also your daughter and my grandfather is your brother. What would they do if you left like that? When my mother was pregnant with the child, she had to worry day and night.
Have you suffered a lot outside?"
Xiangtao originally didn't want to talk about this. She wanted to spend two days quietly with her grandmother.
But I don't know why, the moment I saw her, I couldn't help but lose control of my emotions.
Mrs. Ruan looked at Xiang Tao and pursed her lips into a straight line.
In that situation, she no longer had a choice. Besides, the matter has reached this point, and talking about the past is useless and hurtful, so it is better not to say anything.
Xiangtao just wanted an outlet, and she didn't care about the expression of the person in front of her. She said to herself: "My mother has given birth to a son now, and our Ruan family also has a successor. It's just that they have been worried about you, but after knowing that you and
After Zhizhi pretended to be Shiqing sister, in order to prevent your identities from being exposed and the people who moved to Yangjiacun in anger, I took it upon myself to make them cut off their relationship with you. By the way, Ruanjiakeng also opened an ancestral hall and put grandma in the house.
Your name has been crossed out. Also, there is no place for your Yan family in Yangjia Village. Grandma, why do you think you are doing this? For people like Xuezhi, you gave up everything and hurt so many people.
Is it worth it?”
When Xiangtao said this, her tears burst out again. She couldn't bear to look at her grandmother's appearance, so she didn't want to overdo it.
Even though she was young, she knew what it meant to remove the name from the ancestral hall.
But she had to make such a request because she was really afraid that if something happened, her grandmother's family would be implicated in the entire Yangjiacun and Ruanjiakeng.
Mrs. Ruan, who was originally indifferent, seemed to be deflated when she heard Xiang Tao's words. She slumped down on the futon and stared at Xiang Tao with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
She guessed her daughter and brother's incomprehension, and guessed her lover's sadness and disappointment, but she didn't guess these.
By severing ties and expelling the name from the ancestral hall, does this mean that she will not be able to return to her hometown even after her death, and she will not even have a place to be buried?
Could it be that a hundred years later, she would be buried in a foreign land and become a lonely ghost?
Xiangtao cried for a long time before she heard the person in front of her say in a low and hoarse voice: "Whether it was worth it or not, has passed. Taozi, you did a good job!"
After she finished speaking, she felt that the Buddha's heart was really dead. She picked up the beads again, knocked on the wooden fish and continued to chant sutras.
It can be seen from her slightly trembling hands that she is restless.
Seeing this, Xiangtao took a deep breath, then took out the embroidered handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, picked up the baggage on the table, opened it, and took out a pair of embroidered shoes.
"Grandma, these are the shoes I made for you. You can try them on and they will still fit your feet. Also, there are these clothes. I used the floral cloth that Sister Shiqing gave me in exchange for it with a nun from the Duke's Mansion.
It’s made of cloth of this color, try it on and see if it fits you.”
When Mrs. Ruan finally heard Shiqing's name, she stopped moving her hands and her eyes became swollen.
Lover, it's really her.
So, is it because of Qing'er that she can live here with peace of mind now?
She was already like that, was it Qing'er who saved her?
That child, is he blaming her? Or why has she lived here for so long and never seen her come over to take a look?
Xiangtao shook the clothes in her hands and spread them out. She smiled with tears in her eyes: "Grandma came to try it on. It doesn't fit. I'm changing it. Sister Shiqing and I took two days off. We will be here these two days."
I'll stay with you."
Mrs. Ruan lowered her head and looked at the new shoes on the ground, then looked at the clothes on her body, then closed her eyes, and two lines of tears fell from her eyes.
Xiangtao was also sad. She had said everything she could say before, but it was useless to say it now.
After Xiangtao put on Mrs. Ruan's clothes and changed her shoes, she looked back and forth before nodding with satisfaction.
A little bigger, but no problem.
"Taozi, go back and don't come back again!"
After Mrs. Ruan said this, she reached out and took off the clothes and shoes she had put on before continuing to worship the Buddha.
Hearing this, Xiangtao was very angry. Her mind became hot. She put her hands together and bowed to the Bodhisattva. Then she snatched the things from Mrs. Ruan's hand and said angrily: "Grandma, escaping is not the way to solve the problem. You think you can just eat fast and chant the Buddha's name."
Do you want to make up for all the things you have committed in the past? Let me ask you, what happened to you in Zhenguo Hou Mansion, and where is Yan Xuezhi? Have you ever thought about what Sister Shiqing should do in the future after letting Xuezhi pretend to be Sister Shiqing?
What should I do? Grandma, have you always hated Sister Shiqing, that’s why you did this? If you did something wrong, let Sister Shiqing clean it up. Now that things have become big, you are avoiding the problem again, you are too giving in.
I'm disappointed. No wonder Sister Shiqing feels cold and doesn't want to mention you! Have you ever thought about the consequence of not saying anything, that Sister Shiqing might die because of it?"
Xiangtao almost yelled before she finally said this.
