104 The Hidden Secret(1/2)

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw Mrs. Gan being helped by her maid Qiongyao.

"Why did my mother come?"

Gan Ling stepped forward and helped her, but was avoided by Mrs. Gan with a cold face.

"I have something to ask you!"

Gan Ling was stunned and smiled and said, "My mother has something to say, so let Qiong Yao come over and say it. I will go to find my mother immediately, so that I can avoid getting tired and taking more trips."

Mrs. Gan sat down at the table, and Qiong Yao stood behind her.

"If I don't come here in person, you might have to avoid seeing me."

"What is my mother saying? When my mother comes to search for her, how dare I avoid my daughter-in-law from seeing her?"

"Okay, I don't want to hear you say those words of coaxing people. I ask you, did Sister Yue cause trouble outside before she came back?"

Gan Ling gradually calmed down her smile, "What does the mother asked, what does it mean?"

Mrs. Gan's face looked bad and said in a deep voice: "Don't think I'm old, just use words to make excuses me. Today, in front of everyone in the front hall, I don't want to ask the old man, but here you have to make it clear to me."

Mrs. Gan has not lived in the Duke of Wei since the first month of the year, but moved to Hanchan Temple in Renfang, west of the city.

Several young men from the Shen family are going to take the next month's scientific examination. Mrs. Gan is eagerly hoping that they will be the top scholar in high school and shine on the Shen family. She has long asked Duke Wei for instructions. After moving into Hanchan Temple, she chanted scriptures and chanted Buddha's name day and night, added oil and lit incense, and prayed devoutly for them.

After the news of Shen Biyue waiting at the East City Gate came, Shen Qi hurriedly sent someone to the temple to pick her up, and specially told Uncle Feng to go around the road to the Duke's Mansion and not to run into Mrs. Gan, in order to demonstrate the Shen family's importance to this legitimate daughter.

Of course, there are other purposes for taking a detour back home.

The people sent by Shen Qi said it was an urgent matter and had to wait for the Duke of the People to explain it personally. Mrs. Gan had to hurry to clean up. On the way back to the Duke of the People's Mansion, she accidentally heard the people talking about the Shen family's legitimate daughter, and she felt confused.

When she arrived at the front hall, both houses were there, and Shen Qi's face was not good-looking, so she couldn't ask openly. It was not until she saw Shen Biyue appear that she finally understood.

It turned out that this trip picked her up just to welcome the Shen family's legitimate daughter, Shen Biyue, who was sent to the Shen family's outer village by her.

"I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that my mother came for this."

Mrs. Gan's face looked ugly, "Why isn't it a big deal! Qiong Yao, go out."

"Yes, old lady."

Qiong Yao retreated, and Gan Ling also held back the maid waiting in the room.

After everyone was gone, Mrs. Gan said coldly: "I sent Sister Yue to Fengshuizhou, but I didn't expect her to come back. Now that she is not only back, she also has to wait for the elders of the Shen family to welcome her in the front hall. What is this? As long as everything I did at the beginning is a joke? It would be fine to answer, but it is necessary to make the whole Yong'an City talk. No matter what they are talking about, now that she has returned to the Shen family, everyone knows how she will send her out in the future!"

When Gan Ling heard this, she noticed something was wrong. She saw that there was anger in her eyebrows. She was present just now and was still under pressure. Now she was completely angry.

She reached out and poured a cup of tea and handed it over, but Mrs. Gan didn't answer.

She took back her hand, held the teacup in her hand, and comforted softly: "Mother, Sister Yue is the daughter of our Shen family. Now she has been taken back by her father. Why are you still thinking about sending her out?"

"Hmph, that girl is born an unknown thing. I sent her away back then because I wanted her not to harm the Shen family again. Now, the old man is still rushing to take her back before Xuan'er and the others' scientific exams. Is this going to take the entire Shen family to die with her?"

Gan Ling said calmly: "Jess Yue is just a girl in her teenage years old. She looks well-behaved and beautiful. She looks exactly the same as Sister Ru back then. She is very likable. What kind of ability to harm people? Where should I start? If it comes to her appearance, the term "scaredness" makes sense, but for the other part, the daughter-in-law really can't tell that she has any powerful abilities. My mother said this and wrongly accused the other girl."

Gan Ling said it later and brought some jokes. Mrs. Gan snorted and didn't continue, "Tell me honestly what happened before? Why are people outside talking about the Shen family's legitimate daughter? Could it be that the old man took her back because of this?"

Although Chen Qi issued a death order, the people in the mansion were not allowed to mention Chen Biyue's incident again, but Mrs. Gan insisted on asking questions. Gan Ling had no choice but to tell her everything about Chen Biyue's life outside the Shen family, including the later Xuemei protecting the master.

Mrs. Gan's expression began to change when she heard it. When she heard it, she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"This girl! This girl was indeed born to defeat our Shen family!"

"Why is my mother so prejudice against Sister Yue? According to my daughter-in-law, Sister Yue is a good child. Although she is a little timid, she is also simple and kind, and is not a person who can cause trouble."

Mrs. Gan looked very ugly. She reached out and patted the table a few times, but now she didn't even say anything.

Gan Ling didn't go to make trouble for Mrs. Gan at this time, so she didn't speak and waited quietly beside her.

Mrs. Gan pursed her lips and tried to suppress her anger. She calmed down for a while before saying, "Forget it! Since she is back, it is not easy to send it away. I will go back to Hanchan Temple later. During these days when I am not in the mansion, you should stare at her for me and don't let her cause any trouble. It is best to be locked in the yard. Also, remember not to let her contact Xuan'er."

Gan Ling hesitated for a moment, "Mother, Brother Xuan and Sister Yue are brothers and sisters. Since Sister Yue has returned home, she should go to see her brother and not let them meet. It's inappropriate."

"What's wrong with it? Brother Xuan is busy preparing for the scientific examination, so why was she disturbed? Anyway, I live in the mansion in the future and will see him sooner or later. What's the matter? If the old man asks, you can tell the truth, he won't say anything for Brother Xuan's future."

"The daughter-in-law understands that there is another thing, there is a family dinner tomorrow night. I heard from my husband that Brother Xuan will come together. They will definitely meet you at that time. What should I do?"

When the legitimate daughter was welcomed, the Shen family must hold a family banquet. Mrs. Gan didn't like her from the bottom of her heart, so she naturally ignored this matter. Moreover, when she came back this time, she didn't hear Chen Qi say that there was a family banquet, and her face immediately became dark.

Seeing that her face looked ugly again, Gan Ling advised: "Actually, mother doesn't have to worry so much. Brother Xuan has always been cold-hearted, and the brother and sister have been separated for many years. Even if they meet at a family banquet, they will not be very enthusiastic. The daughter-in-law feels that it's okay to meet once."

Mrs. Gan didn't say anything, and thought for a while before saying, "Forget it, I'll stay tonight and wait until the family dinner is over before returning to Hanchan Temple."

Gan Ling was stunned and saw Mrs. Gan calling Qiong Yao in and helping her leave.

After Mrs. Gan left, Madam Liu Su came in and saw Gan Ling sitting at the table with a thoughtful expression on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Just just now, the old slave heard some noise outside. Did the lady start arguing with the old lady?"

Gan Ling came back to her senses and smiled and said, "No, it was because I accidentally bumped into the table. I was so adult and still so careless. My mother said a few words to me."

"Where does the lady hit? Is it important? Why don't you ask the doctor to come and see?"

"It's okay, nothing serious. By the way, the old lady is going to live in the mansion tonight. You go and ask the kitchen to make some light meals and send some fresh fruits. The old lady lives in the temple in the past two months and is used to vegetarian food, so it is not advisable to eat greasy food anymore."

"Madam is so careful, I'll go now."

Gan Ling took a sip of tea and raised a meaningful smile on her lips.

Mrs. Gan's abnormal words and deeds made her suspicious. There must be some ulterior motive between Chen Biyue and the old lady. This secret may be her bargaining chip for solving Chen Biyue.

However, before this, we should take good care of the family dinner tomorrow, and the Shen family will be lively in the future.

Prince Yu's Mansion

Between the green pond, a long stone corridor opened from both sides of the hexagonal pointed stone pavilion, like an iron chain, leaping on the water.

There is a quiet and peaceful scenery among the flowers, but there is a quiet and peaceful sound in the tranquility.

"Shhh, hit it down."

"What a bad idea! That's the master's favorite, go and fight!"

"Stop making noise! ​​Just use food to lure!"

"It's not so tempting to be a big meal! If she hadn't gone to the toilet, she wouldn't have let this ancestor hang out on the pavilion!"

"You just wait. The master must peel you from the skin when he comes back!"

"Share you! Don't think I don't know, it's the croton you put in the big tea!"

"I've put the wrong cup!"

Behind a bush of shrubs far away from the pavilion, three pairs of eyes of different sizes were exposed. They were staring at the top of the stone pavilion, staring at the same time and moving their mouths, not acting.

The distance was so far that they could only see a vague white shadow on the top of the stone pavilion.

"What are you doing?" The steps approached quietly, and the sinister voice seemed to be sandwiched in the gust of cold wind, which came from behind, causing the three of them to straighten their backs in an instant.

The three of them all turned around and immediately changed their faces when they saw the visitor, "Sister Dashi!"

"If you three don't guard your master's dormitory, what are you doing here!" The baby-faced girl, with big eyes, grew softly behind her head, tied into a bunch of braids, like a village girl, wearing gray linen clothes and gray cloth shoes, like a little nun.

In unison, "Master stays in bed, don't disturb me!"

"Believe in your nonsense! Where is Snowball! Where have you been brought to you!"

Looking at the sky unanimously, "I haven't seen it before!"

Dashi stroked the broken ears and smiled and said, "Then I'll go and help you get up and complain to you!"

Turn around and leave without any delay.

"Sister Dashi!" The three of them grabbed her pants' legs in a smirk and howled, and almost pulled her pants off.

"Let me go! You three bastards!" Dashi grabbed his pants tightly, gritting his teeth in hatred, and was about to raise his foot to kick.

Suddenly, a long "meow" sounded from the other end of the pool.

The three of them froze their fingers, and Dashi suddenly turned his head and looked at it. A white shadow on the top of the stone pavilion was slowly surrounding the six raised corners. His posture was very elegant and his body was very fat. He was shaking while walking, for fear that he would fall into the pool if he accidentally did.

Dashi was so angry that his braids were about to throw them up. He stretched out his legs and kicked the three of them away, pointing at Shiting angrily, "Take them back for me! Otherwise..."

Wan Er said aggrievedly: "It was not what we got on, it climbed up by itself."

"Nonsense! The snowball is so fat, how can I get up!" Da Shi kicked Wan Er into the pool and thumped.

Wan San smiled with a shy face and said, "Sister Dashi, we are so unfair..." Before he finished speaking, he was kicked into the pool with a second plop.

The cold eyes glared at Wan Yi, and he was so scared that he quickly took three steps back, "It's all a misunderstanding!"

Dashi was so angry that his head hurt, "Hurry up and get the snowball down for me. If something goes wrong, I will kill you three before my master!"

Wanyi wanted to explain that he didn't do it, but Wansan's, and he didn't do it to get the cat up, but it crawled up by itself, but Dashi didn't believe it!

With a sigh, he drew his steps, and his dantian was about to jump up and fly towards Shiting to catch the big fat cat, suddenly a figure jumped past him.

Faster and lighter than him!

His expression changed instantly. He heard Dashi behind him say "Master" and his legs almost became soft.

Shao Yanmo was loose, and a large-sleeved wool-collared cloak with black-bottomed thorn lotus on his body, his hands were placed in his wide sleeves, and he walked slowly. His face was pale, as if he had just woken up and was a little afraid of the chill.

A figure flew over and stood steadily in front of Shao Yan, holding a heavy snow ball in his arms, shrinking into a fluffy ball without making a sound.
