Chapter 282 Refusal (1)

Aunt Yang's words were thoughtful and sweet, and Empress Dowager Yide's frown gradually relaxed. Perhaps she thought of something, and slowly burst into a smile: "You are right, the days are always getting better, It’s because Ai’s family is confused. This is a good thing, Ai’s family has nothing to worry about. After the sun went down, Ai’s family asked Hong’an to talk about it.”

Jiang Ruan didn't know what happened in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, but things in this world are predestined in the dark, even if it is a coincidence, it is easy to collide. In Xiao Shao's mind, someone also thought of going with him.

At the mansion of the Chief Soldier, Gu Yi dismissed the servants and was about to sneak out of the mansion when he reached the gate of the yard, when he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Yi'er, where are you going?"

Gu Yi's complexion collapsed, and he turned around embarrassingly, and sure enough, he saw Mrs. Gu standing behind him, walked up to him in a few steps, and reprimanded him: "It's so chaotic outside now, where do you want to go?"

Gu Yi rolled his eyes a few times and had an idea: "I...I want to go to the palace to see my cousin."

Gu Yi's cousin is a talented person in the palace, and the relationship between the two siblings was pretty good at first, but since the cousin entered the palace, Gu Yi hasn't seen her for a long time.

It's just that this reason is a bit far-fetched, Madam Gu raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Looking for my cousin, don't you want to look for Princess Hong'an?"

"Mother—" Gu Yi was a little anxious: "I, she and I are friends anyway, and now she is in an embarrassing situation, so I have to ignore her. I just want to care about her."

Mrs. Gu looked at her with hatred: "Caring about her? Now is the time when the storm is on the cusp. You don't want to die. Even if you don't want to die, don't involve the whole house. It's hard to say what is going on with Jiang Xinzhi now. Be careful of being dragged into it by others, our mansion is clean, we can't get involved in these things for no reason."

"I just want to comfort her. No mother thinks so complicated." Gu Yi said anxiously: "Mother, I can't be a villain who changes the direction of the wind."

Mrs. Gu sighed, looking at the persistent son in front of her, she didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow. The son has grown up and has his own opinions, but Mrs. Gu is very clear about Gu Yi's thoughts, and she is thinking about Jiang Ruan in her heart. I thought it was a temporary liking of the children's family, but it hasn't let go after such a long time, it may not be a good thing for Gu Yi.

Seeing Mrs. Gu's expression softened, Gu Yi was overjoyed, and said flatteringly to Mrs. Gu: "Mother, I will go with my aunt to deliver something to my cousin, and I will be back soon."

Mrs. Gu didn't say a word, it was the default meaning, Gu Yi hurriedly asked the servant to prepare the horse, turned around and left the yard.

The nanny next to him said: "Madam let the young master go away like this?"

"Princess Hong'an is a smart person," Madam Gu said indifferently, "Let him go, it's good to stop his thoughts."

...

At the same time, Jing Zhaoyin's residence was on.

The maid handed over a small cup of stewed pears with water and sugar. The sugar water was boiled until it became sticky, and it looked very beautiful in the crystal clear crystal cup. The maid put the sugar water aside, and reached out to help the person curled up on the couch: "Girl, get up and drink some sugar water."

"No." A weak voice came, which seemed to have a strong nasal and crying voice. The servant girl was a little embarrassed, and gently advised: "Girl, don't worry too much, the matter hasn't come to light yet, maybe it hasn't reached the worst point, so why bother your body."

The person lying on the couch seemed to be aroused by these words, his shoulders shrugged, and he became more and more sad. After a while, she sat up slowly, revealing a haggard and pale face, it was Dong Ying'er.

Dong Ying'er was wearing a honey-colored jacket, her hair was only combed in a simple bun, and the rest looked messy behind her head. There is no longer the light and delicate appearance of the past, but at the same age as Hua, he has a haggard state. Her eyes were swollen from being soaked in tears for a long time, and the hair on both cheeks was wet into locks and strands, which looked pitiful.

She licked her dry lips and asked, "What time is it?"

Outside the house, Master Dong and Mrs. Dong were very worried. Master Dong put the teacup in his hand on the table and sighed heavily.

"The matter has come to this, Ying'er has no other choice." Madam Dong's eyes were unusually firm: "Don't get involved with that Jiang Xinzhi. Once this happens, Ying'er can stop thinking about it."

"Ma'am," Master Dong shook his head, "Ying'er is gentle on the outside, but extremely stubborn on the inside, I'm afraid she might do something stupid."

"Daughter, I understand better than you." Mrs. Dong said: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. It is better to be sad than to indulge in impossible things for a lifetime. Besides, you know what is going on in the house. You are the best. Now there is only this way. Let's go." She stood up, as if she had made up her mind: "I'll go in and persuade you."

Dong Yinger sat blankly on the couch, like a lifeless clay doll. Madam Dong saw this scene as soon as she entered the room, and couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart. He waved the maid to go down, walked to the edge and sat down. He called out in a warm voice, "Ying'er."

After a long time, Dong Ying'er seemed to come to her senses. She turned her head to look at Madam Dong's face close at hand, met that loving gaze, and felt mixed feelings in her heart. After calling "Mother", she was speechless again. Come, fall on Mrs. Dong's body and cry bitterly.

Who could have known the shock and great pain she felt in her heart when she heard the news that Jiang Xinzhi was defeated and captured at the border. If it wasn't for her daughter's family, I'm afraid I would like to fly to the border to see what it looks like. Thinking of how such a wise and handsome man turned into a piece of loess on the battlefield like countless soldiers, Dong Yinger felt unbearable pain.

The poor bones beside the Wuding River are still the people in the spring girl's dream. She hasn't expressed her anxiety to him yet, and he doesn't know her intentions yet, so heaven and man are separated forever. In this way, all the hardships she suffered for Jiang Xinzhi and being grounded in this mansion were all in vain! There is one of the saddest things in the world, which ends before it begins.

The obsession in Dong Yinger's heart is Jiang Xinzhi, now that Jiang Xinzhi has ended up like this, how can she not collapse.

Mrs. Dong held Dong Ying'er in her arms, patted her on the back distressedly, and comforted her as before: "It's not your fault, it's only God's will. Now that Vice General Jiang has ended up like this, but you Don't waste your body. Father, mother, and your brother love you dearly. If you get hurt, mother will feel sorry for you. Seeing you hurt, mother will also feel pain in her heart. "

"Mother," Dong Ying'er cried bitterly, "I feel so miserable——"

"Mother knows that you are suffering." Mrs. Dong held Dong Ying'er tighter: "Mother is not suffering. You only know that Vice General Jiang was defeated, but you know that the forces in the court are becoming more and more complicated. Our family is to maintain neutrality. Yes, but Vice General Jiang was defeated, and some things have come to the fore, and the peaceful days in our mansion are coming to an end. Your father and your elder brother are either advancing or retreating, and everything will be lost if they are not careful. Our mansion Isn't it roasting in the fire?" She caressed Dong Ying'er's long hair: "Vice General Jiang really died on the battlefield, and the general was shrouded in horse leather. That's a well-deserved death. I'm afraid that he died in a daze, hey."
