Aunt Chen turned around in her mind several times, but she couldn't think of the lady who called her Sister Rong.

"I have seen Mrs."

Although Chen Jing'er also didn't know the lady in front of her, she could call her mother her sister. Looking at her dress and the respectful look on her face, her mind immediately thought that she must be the current Mrs. Zhen Guo.

Little Li nodded to Chen Jing'er and said with a smile: "This is my niece, I am your aunt."

Sure enough, she guessed correctly, Chen Jing'er called "aunt".

Only then did Aunt Chen realize that the person in front of her was the cousin-in-law of her cousin Zhen Chen's family.

"I've met my cousin-in-law." Aunt Chen saluted.

"Sister Rong, you don't recognize me anymore. I hugged you when you were little." Little Li looked at Aunt Chen with a smile.

It is difficult to connect the middle-aged woman in front of her with Zhen Rong in the past.

Time is like water. It not only causes people to grow old, but also causes their appearance to change. Aunt Chen does not look like Zhen Rong when she was a child.

Although Xiao Li didn't have much affection for Zhen Rong, she still felt a little comforted when she saw that she was still alive and had two daughters.

Aunt Chen looked at Mrs. Zhen Guo, but she still didn't recognize Mrs. Li.

"I am your cousin-in-law now, but I was your sister Qi in the past." Little Li said with a smile.

At this time, Aunt Chen suddenly realized that the little Li in front of her was actually the eldest aunt's niece Li Qi.

At the same time, there was disdain in my heart. How could He De, the daughter of a poor family who often came to Zhen's Mansion to play in the autumn breeze and didn't even have any decent clothes, be able to become the mistress of Zhen's Mansion.

At Xiao Li's greeting, Aunt Chen, mother and daughter took their seats.

Xiao Li's daughter Zhenzhi, Xia Zhenjiqiu, daughter-in-law Tong and Aunt Chen met one by one.

"I just learned that my sister returned to Beijing, so I didn't have time to visit her," said Xiao Li.

"I just returned to Beijing a few days ago. Qian'er went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother's aunt. Today I came here specifically to pay homage to the eldest aunt." Aunt Chen said while taking a sip of tea.

"The Queen Mother has been thinking about you and Fu'er." Little Li said.

It's probably because I miss my sister.Aunt Chen felt sour in her heart.

"You came to Beijing with Fu'er, right? How is she now?" Little Li was curious about Aunt Chen's uninvited appearance, so she took the initiative to ask Zhen.

"My sister and I are two families, my sister is my sister, and we are ours. Although we go to Beijing together, we all live in separate places in Beijing." Aunt Chen expressed her attitude towards separation from the Bai family.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li understood in her heart that she was afraid that sisters Zhen Rong and Zhen Fu would have a big conflict.

This can also explain why Zhen Fu was quite indifferent when she received the post from the Zhenguo Palace, but Aunt Chen rushed to see her mother-in-law.

"...Did my sister go to Beijing alone with her two nieces? Where do you live now?" Little Li asked calmly.

"Yes, it's just my mother, my sister, and I at home." Chen Jing'er said first because she was worried that Aunt Chen didn't mention the divorce between mother and daughter.

These words made Mr. Li mistakenly think that Aunt Chen was a widow living alone with her two daughters, and she couldn't help but sympathize with Aunt Chen.

However, Zhen Rong's two daughters were born well. Although they have the aura of a small family, their appearance is very outstanding.

"Now we live in Tianshui Lane. My aunt gave us the yard that the old man had built for us to live in." Aunt Chen answered.

Little Li nodded, feeling that the Queen Mother had really put a lot of effort into giving her a house.

"What did the old lady say?"

Seeing the nanny sent to deliver the message to the old lady's room come out, little Li asked.

"Back to madam, the old lady invites the second aunt and the two cousins ​​to go in and talk." "Let's go, I will take you there." Little Li stood up.

Aunt Chen, mother and daughter followed Xiao Li through several corridors and came to the old lady's room.

Aunt Chen is very familiar with this house. The old lady of the Zhen Mansion, her great-grandmother, lived in this house back then.

The old lady has nothing to do on weekdays, and often summons the juniors to talk and laugh with her.

Although Aunt Chen is not as lovable as Mrs. Zhen, she will still be asked by the old lady to sit aside and join in the fun.

Now this house is actually cheaper than the eldest aunt.

The room was quiet, there was no sound at all.

Aunt Chen, mother and daughter didn't dare to look around.

Walking inside, a curtain appeared in front of you.

I saw the old lady lying on the pear wood couch under the curtain, surrounded by a group of maids and women. On the couch, there were two maids with outstanding looks waiting on her, one pinching her legs and the other beating her feet.

"Mom, Ronger and the niece are here." Little Li whispered forward.

When the old lady heard the noise, she raised her eyelids and glanced sharply at Aunt Chen, mother and daughter.

This look in her eyes was different from that of the kind aunt from before. Aunt Chen felt as if she was feeling needle-pricked all over.

"Auntie, I brought the children to see you." Aunt Chen thought about the purpose of her trip and spoke proactively with a smile.

"Here we come." The old lady nodded and was helped by the maid beside her to sit on the couch.

"Sit down." The old lady pointed to the stool in front of her.

Aunt Chen, mother and daughter thanked each other and took their seats.

"Is the old lady okay? My mother has been looking forward to seeing you these days. I heard that you have been in poor health these past two days, and my mother has been worried." Seeing the silence in the room, Chen Jing'er took the initiative to speak.

Little Li couldn't help but look at Chen Jing'er.

This girl from the Chen family doesn't seem to be that simple.

"Looking forward to seeing me? Didn't Qian'er already meet me in the Queen Mother's Palace?" the old lady said leisurely, her lowered eyes roaming around Aunt Chen, mother and daughter.

Chen Jing'er's face was stunned.

"Because of the etiquette in the Queen Mother's Palace, my mother was not able to express her true feelings to you, and she has always felt regretful." Chen Jing'er said with a sudden thought, "My mother has many personal things to talk to you about. After all, you are her most important person in the world. Trusted elders.”

Chen Jing'er believes that if she wants the old lady to let down her guard, she must make it clear from the beginning that we are seeking refuge with the Zhen Mansion, not against the Zhen Mansion.

Sure enough, the old lady smiled when she heard the confession in these words.

"Madam, please go down first. Just leave my niece and two children with me. Ronger and I haven't seen each other for many years, and we have a lot to talk about." The old lady sent Little Li out, leaving Aunt Chen alone. The three women are in the room.

"Tell me, what are your plans?" After Xiao Li went out, the old lady smiled lightly and asked straight to the point.

Aunt Chen was about to speak, but Chen Jing'er preempted her and said: "Old madam, we have never dealt with my aunt's family. The Zhenguo Palace is half of my mother's natal family, and you are my mother's elder. We orphans and widowed mothers want to rely on you. The sect has established itself in the capital."

Chen Jing'er thought that since she had decided to form an alliance with the Zhenguo Government, she might as well express her attitude and intention early.

As soon as Chen Jing'er said these words, the room fell into an eerie silence again.

The old lady closed her eyes, and when Aunt Chen and her daughter thought she had fallen asleep, she suddenly said: "You also know that you are an orphan and a widowed mother, and you have taken refuge in my Zhen Mansion. What help can you bring to my Zhen Mansion? Unlike the Bai family, you have the number one scholar and the village head, so you are somewhat valuable to our Zhen Mansion. What do you have?"
