Yan Ronghua smiled anxiously and said, "It was my mother who asked me to come over."
"Really?" Pan Lan sneered and said, "How did I hear that I talked to your mother-in-law for a long time at the second gate? Did you complain to your mother-in-law? Do you think the Marquis's treatment of you is not good?"
"No, no!" Yan Ronghua said anxiously: "How dare I!"
"Ha," Pan Lan sneered: "Yes, Prince An won't support you, and His Highness won't even see you. No matter how much you talk to your widowed mother, what can she do?"
Yan Ronghua said anxiously: "I really didn't say anything!"
Pan Lan put down the book and stood up.
She was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly. Pan Lan said with a smile: "I didn't tell you to say it, just say it if you want to say it! Saying that you are lustful, begging, dissatisfied and missing a man, saying that your husband can't feed you enough..."
He smiled and lowered his head, as if whispering: "But you, my husband, came here with all your calculations. Who told me at that time... The young man is as gentle as jade, and as soon as he saw me in the daytime, he fell into the dream of being a concubine... Hahaha
Ha ha!"
He spoke in a high-pitched voice, imitating her, which was really scary. Yan Ronghua's hair stood on end, and she let him pull open the skirt of her clothes in vain and stepped on it.
Yan Ronghua screamed, struggled suddenly, and burst into tears.
Sun got fifty taels of silver.
But she is also the daughter-in-law of the palace, and Meng Min often helps her out, and she has monthly money in hand. Although Dong is mean, she will not go too far for Meng Min's sake. She has lived a lifetime of good clothing and fine food, and now...
How long can these fifty taels of silver be spent?
So a few days later, she came to see Yan Ronghua again.
Yan Ronghua had no choice but to exchange it for jewelry and gave her forty taels.
After a few days, it was gone, and Mr. Sun had no choice but to come back again.
This time, it took more than an hour for Yan Ronghua to come out and said anxiously: "Mom, what's the matter?"
Mrs. Sun cried: "My mother has no money again, and she needs money in the shop! How long can forty taels last? You should also think about my mother!"
Yan Ronghua closed his eyes: "Go and borrow some from my aunt."
Sun said anxiously: "How could she lend me a loan? If I go, she will definitely tell me to go find Meng Min! But how dare I go..."
Yan Ronghua said: "You have several shops, sell one first!"
"No!" Mrs. Sun cried: "I am a widowed woman, and my shop is my only source of confidence! How can I sell this!"
Yan Ronghua said anxiously: "Didn't Ernie give you so many good clothes? You can't let others steal these too? It's better if you take a few of them as an emergency!"
"No way!" Mrs. Sun still cried: "If I serve as a dresser, my servants will know about it and ask me how to control them in the future!"
Yan Ronghua was a little irritable: "Then what do you think we should do!"
Mrs. Sun sobbed and carefully held her hand: "Hua'er, I only have you as my daughter. After all, you married into the Hou family. I also gave you a lot of dowry back then. My mother-in-law doesn't ask for much, so you give it first."
I have two hundred silver, I will deal with this situation first before talking about it."
Yan Ronghua looked at her quietly.
This is her biological mother. Are you trying to force her to death by going back and forth this time?
Pan Lan had to hold on to her dowry, and she was careful when handling fifty taels. How could there be two hundred taels for her!
Why did God treat her like this? Not only could her parents not help her, but they also wanted to kill her?
Yan Ronghua looked at her for a long time, and suddenly became gentle: "Auntie, you go back first, I will take some time to come back to you, and we will talk in detail."
Mrs. Sun was startled, "Then now..."
"It's not convenient now," Yan Ronghua said, "I'll go back tomorrow, and you'll have to wait one more night." She pushed Sun and said coquettishly, "Auntie, go back first."
Then she turned around and left.
Mrs. Sun looked at her for a while, but had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Yan Ronghua returned home the next day.
Mrs. Sun burst into tears as soon as she saw her. Yan Ronghua comforted her for a while, then whispered, "Auntie, I have an idea."
She has always been smart and full of ideas, so Sun asked: "What?"
Yan Ronghua said: "Originally, this matter was really serious, but the second uncle is kind and soft-hearted, and I have been good sisters with you for many years. Besides, now Yan Shiyue is safe and sound. What happened back then and the resentment in my heart are all gone. Naturally, it is much less. Auntie just wants to think that it was Yan Liangchou who lost the person back then. Now, isn’t Yan Liangchou still known as the adopted son of the Yan family?"
Mrs. Sun couldn't help but nodded: "Yes. My son is right. So what should we do now?"
Yan Ronghua said: "I want to ask my second uncle to forgive you, but the ordinary method won't work. I think she can pretend to seek death."
Sun Shi shuddered: "Seeking death?"
"Yes, pretend to seek death," Yan Ronghua said: "First hang a rope in the room and pretend to hang yourself. Then I will go to Prince Taiping's Mansion to invite the Second Aunt... If she comes, I will ask outside. I Say, is grandma here? Second uncle is here!"
She spoke every sentence very clearly and looked at her: "That's it. Then my mother-in-law quickly pretended to hang herself. My second uncle and I came in and just saved my mother-in-law. If the second uncle's wife hadn't come, I would have done nothing. Don’t tell me, we’ll think of other ways.”
Mrs. Sun hesitated: "Is this possible?"
"There is no other way, only this one," Yan Ronghua said softly: "Aniang, otherwise, you will offend Yan Shiyue and Meng Min, and you will have no money in your hands. Aniang, do you want to eat everything in the future? Is it a bran-pharyngeal vegetable?"
Mrs. Sun couldn't help but grimace.
Yan Ronghua said softly: "Don't worry, grandma, it's just a play. Second Aunt and I will come in immediately, and everything will be fine."
After the mother-in-law discussed it carefully, Yan Ronghua went to Prince Taiping's Mansion to invite Meng Min.
Mrs. Sun got chili peppers, rubbed her eyes until they were red, then tied a strap on the eaves and tied it tightly. She stood on the stool, holding the rope with one hand, and waited anxiously.
Soon, she heard Yan Ronghua's voice.
Then she asked: "Are you here? Is your second uncle here?"
Yan Ronghua said, when you act, you have to be real!
As soon as Mrs. Sun heard the words "Second uncle", she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, put her head in the rope, kicked over the stool, and hung herself up.
Outside, Sun's maid said: "Madam is here, the second lady is not here!"
Yan Ronghua clearly heard a thud.
She gritted her teeth and said to her maid: "I understand, I'll go in and take a look, you can do your business."
Something has been wrong with Mrs. Sun recently, and the maid didn't dare to lean forward, so she responded and retreated.
Yan Ronghua entered the room, closed the door with shaking hands, and quickly turned around the screen. He saw Mrs. Sun hanging on the eaves, her eyes bulging, trying desperately to say something, but she couldn't.
Yan Ronghua burst into tears for a while.
She tried her best to suppress her voice, knelt down trembling slightly, and slowly kowtowed to Mrs. Sun several times.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, grandma, don't blame your daughter... My daughter also has no choice.
It is better for one person to die than for both people to die!
Now we are at a dead end, and the only way is to put ourselves to death and survive.
Mrs. Sun did indeed do something wrong, and she deserved to die. However, she was just a little baby at that time, so there was no way she could be blamed!
When a person is alive, he wishes she would die, but when she really dies... the resentment will be blown away by the wind.
Meng Min is soft-hearted and will definitely not criticize her too much.
And Yan Shiyue is very reasonable and will not blame her anymore.
Besides, it was Yan Shiyue who asked others to take away all the Sun family's money. She was forced to death by her! Yan Shiyue has always valued life very much. Even if she didn't say it with her mouth, she must have it in her heart.
A little bit of guilt.
But now, these traces of guilt are her only way to survive!
Yan Ronghua kept watching that Mrs. Sun had stopped struggling, and then slowly wiped away her tears, turned around and went out, saying to her maid: "My mother cried herself to sleep. Don't disturb her. Let's talk about it later in the evening."
The maid responded, and Yan Ronghua hid her face. (To be continued)
