Chapter 746 Discord

Mrs. Zhen held Xiao Fuyuan's hand and, surrounded by several daughters-in-law, followed Xiao Mrs. Li to the old lady's yard.

From a distance, I heard faint voices coming from inside.

"This is the yard where my grandmother used to live."

Mrs. Zhen introduced the courtyard to Xiao Fuyuan and several daughters-in-law.

In fact, along the way from Xiao Li's yard to the old lady's yard, Zhen made constant introductions to Xiao Fuyuan, Xie Chuntao and others.

Little Fuyuan knew that her mother had stumbled under a strange stone, she knew which tree was planted by Mrs. Zhen herself, she knew which bush of flowers was planted by Mrs. Zhen...

It can be said that every plant, tree, flower and stone in the entire Zhenguogong Mansion is filled with Zhen's memories.

Little Li felt uncomfortable all over.

I feel more and more like a dove occupying a magpie's nest.

Originally, Mrs. Zhen was invited to be a guest, but Mrs. Zhen became the guest instead.

"It's rare that my aunt still remembers it. Aunt, you will stay at home for a few days. This is your home anyway."

Little Li's daughter-in-law, Tong, didn't know the twists and turns of the Zhen family's second and eldest houses, let alone how Zhen was sold by her grandmother and father-in-law.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhen cherished the garden so much, and thinking of Mrs. Zhen's experience of living abroad, she felt quite sympathetic, so she warmly invited her.

"Yes, aunt, why don't you take your little cousin to stay at home for a few days?"

The romantic Zhen Zhixia, like Tong, is also unaware of the evil things her grandmother and father did to Zhen, so she helps Tong invite her.

She felt that her eldest aunt, her younger cousin, and several cousins-in-law were more lovable than her second aunt, mother and son, and even more lovable than her biological aunt Zhen Ping and cousin Fan Lingyi.

Zhen smiled and did not refuse or agree.

"This courtyard is now occupied by the old lady." Mrs. Li said to Mrs. Zhen.

Mrs. Zhen nodded and said: "Yes, this courtyard has always been lived by the old Fengjun. Now that the eldest aunt has become the old Fengjun, she has to live here."

Little Li felt a prick in her heart. She didn't know whether Zhen said this sarcastically or if she really thought that way.

While talking, the Bai family followed Mr. Li through the hanging flower door surrounded by wisteria flowers, and then passed through a long corridor to the old lady's main room.

Nanny Zhang came out and called Mrs. Zhen, "Miss."

Zhen nodded.

Grandma Zhang opened the curtain and invited Zhen and others in.

Xiao Fuyuan followed her mother to the main hall, and everyone in the room stopped talking instantly.

Xiao Fuyuan saw a room full of familiar people.

Zhen Ping, Fan Lingyi, mother and son, and Aunt Chen, mother and daughter.

In addition, there were some ladies and ladies that Xiao Fuyuan didn't know.

Everyone gathered around the old lady.

The old lady was wiping her forehead and leaning on the couch. A maid behind her was squeezing her shoulders and rubbing her legs.

"Old madam, the eldest sister is here." Little Li said with a smile.

The old lady raised her eyelids and said, "Here we come."

He leaned firmly on the couch and waited for Zhen and others to salute.

Mrs. Zhen did not salute, but praised: "Auntie is in such a good mood."

When Aunt Chen and Zhen Ping saw Mrs. Zhen, their faces froze.

They did not welcome Zhen's arrival at all.

Zhen Ping, in particular, looked at Tian Maimiao, wishing that Tian Maimiao would disappear on the spot.

The ladies sitting around were basically the daughters of various families when Zhen was a child in the capital, and everyone had met them when they were children.

It's just that they haven't seen each other for so many years, and they are very strange to each other. When I learned that Mrs. Zhen was back, some people sent people to give gifts, and some people were watching. This was the first time I saw Mrs. Zhen face to face.

Some are curious, some are excited.

"Hello old lady."

Old lady Bai took the initiative to salute forward.

The old lady felt a little better.

"It's been so many years, but this place hasn't changed at all. When I was young, my mother-in-law and I came to say hello to the old lady. This is the courtyard. The old lady stayed with me and my mother-in-law for two days. Before leaving, the old lady gave me a fox fur. A big cloak, a big bag of clothes, and four sets of headgear.”

Old Madam Bai seemed to be chatting, but the old Madam of Zhen Guogong Mansion didn't like to hear what she said.

The "old lady" in Old Madam Bai's mouth naturally refers to the former old feudal lord, the old lady's mother-in-law.

"But later when the Zhen Mansion was in trouble, I pawned all the cloak, clothes and headdress, and the money I exchanged was used to redeem my daughter-in-law."

Old Madam Bai simply didn't like to pick up any pot. These words made the old lady lying on the beauty's couch have a sore neck.

What do you mean?

Is this an insinuation that she betrayed the Zhen family without mercy?

"Fu'er has a good life. I can't thank you enough for being taken care of by the Bai family." The old lady seemed to have not heard the irony in the old lady Bai's words and said with a slight smile.

"It's not worth it. Madam, don't blame me for mentioning the old lady's rotting sesame seeds. In fact, when I saw you, I thought of the old lady before. She has been dead for so many years. Our Bai family can successfully rescue Fu. My son, it's all her old man who is blessing me in heaven." Old Mrs. Bai had tears in her eyes and clasped her hands together.

The old lady's heart was ups and downs.

Is this old woman here to collect debts or just as a guest? Why does she always mention things from the past?

"You haven't been to the capital for a long time, and the current government office has also changed."

What the old lady means is that the Zhen Mansion in the past is gone, and the current Zhen Guogong Mansion belongs to their eldest son.

The ladies sitting around were eating melon steadily.

Everyone's thoughts are floating, fearing that there was something hidden behind Zhen's sale to Yangzhou.

"Sister, my nephew and daughter are tired of standing, please sit down."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xiao Li's face, and she stopped allowing Zhen to salute, and persuaded Zhen to take Xiao Fuyuan and sit down quickly.

"Sister, the eldest aunt in our family is our aunt. You should have come home a long time ago." Aunt Chen complained that Zhen didn't give the old lady face. At the same time, she accused Zhen of wanting to sell a good deal in front of the old lady. mean.

"There is only one elder? Where did you put the Queen Mother?" Zhen took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

Aunt Chen realized that she had lost her words and was speechless for a moment.

"Fu'er, you are too worried. The Queen Mother is a member of the heavenly family, and our family is divided into monarchs and ministers. We are one family, and Ronger hopes that the family will live in harmony. Auntie is very happy to have you here today, Let’s have a lively banquet today.”

The old lady found a comfortable position and stretched out her legs for the little girl to continue beating her.

"I'm also very happy to be able to come to my home." Zhen emphasized the word "home".

The old lady of Zhen Guo Gongfu sneered in her heart. She wanted to see Mrs. Zhen who has the final say in Zhen Guo Gongfu now.

She deliberately asked Mrs. Li to pick up Mrs. Zhen outside the third gate, and asked Mrs. Zhen to look at every step of the way. Every plant and tree she passed would irritate her. But so what, now every plant and tree belongs to her descendants.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting colder, Mrs. Li came up to adjust the atmosphere and said, "I invite you all to come today because the two younger sisters at home are back. I also want everyone to be happy for our Zhen family."

Only then did everyone start laughing again.

"Our eldest sister is now the mother of the number one scholar. This is Princess Furong. She is very popular with the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen."

Mother-in-law and Zhen's words contained a hint of discord.

When Xiao Li saw everyone's eyes falling on Zhen and Xiao Fuyuan, she hurriedly introduced them to everyone, hoping to divert everyone's attention.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Zhen family and the Zhenguo government are one.

What's more, the Queen Mother definitely wants everyone to be harmonious.
