MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 27
An Ruochen made quick calculations in her heart. She glanced out the window, Long Da, Xie Gang and Zong Zeqing seemed to be talking in the distance, although they didn't look into the room, they could see her and Aunt Lu clearly when they turned their heads.
"Ma'am." An Ruochen leaned forward, getting a little closer to Aunt Lu. She guessed that Aunt Lu might be worried that this is a military site.
She said softly: "There is nothing wrong with this money. I promised to work for the general. I was paid. General Zong knew that I was penniless, so he lent me some money first. I will pay him back in the future. The generals know that I miss my nanny." , Allow me to ask my aunt for help. My aunt will never be in trouble if she takes this money. Except for a few generals, no one else knows about it. General Zong invited aunt to come here, and it must be hidden from others. See you, aunt Don’t let it go outside.”
After hearing what she said, Aunt Lu took the silver off the table and held it in her palm. The fist fell back to her knee, and An Ruochen couldn't see it anymore.
An Ruochen breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you, aunt."
"Girl." Aunt Lu didn't accept An Ruochen's courtesy, and she didn't look like she was going to say goodbye. She glanced out of the window again, turned her head back to stare at An Ruochen, and lowered her voice again: "Young lady should know, I My husband's family is a military household. I married a man from my family. We get together less and leave more, but he treats me very well. I gave birth to a son, and he was very happy. He said that having a son is good, and it is a good material for protecting the country. He also He once joked that he was just a corporal, but maybe our son could become a general."
Aunt Lu smiled when she said this, "Of course it's just a joke. I just want to say, I don't know what to do with other families. The military family is bitter, but my man is happy. He is proud of being able to serve the country, even if he is just a pawn. He is also proud. My son is also like this. He is young, but he is like his father. He looks alike and has a similar temperament. In that year, neither of them came back. Buy a dowry and find another family, otherwise you will be lonely for the rest of your life. We poor people are not as good as your lady, and I still have to consider my livelihood. But I don’t, I can live well myself, and I can’t be sorry for my man. I Don’t be afraid of things, as long as it’s the right thing, you can help and do what you need to do.”
An Ruochen listened quietly, guessing the meaning of Mrs. Lu's words, she was quite moved.
"Girl, the last time I rented a house, I guess the girl wanted to rent it herself. I thought the girl was afraid of being abused and beaten after marriage, and wanted to keep a back hand and have a place to live. I took the money from the girl to teach Don't worry, girl, I'm afraid that if she doesn't believe that I will do it well, she will entrust it to others. It will not be good if others go around talking about it and cause trouble for the girl."
"Ma'am." An Ruochen's eyes were hot.
"I'm not doing it for money, I haven't touched any of the money." Aunt Lu reached out from under the table, grabbed An Ruochen's palm on her lap, and stuffed a cloth bag. "Miss, are you in trouble? But you have been persecuted? Apart from passing a message to your old nanny, what else can I do for you? It is not easy for me to go into Ziyun Tower. You may as well speak up if you have something to say."
An Ruochen's nose was sore, what virtue and ability did she have, to meet such kind and good people all the time.
"Auntie, I can't take this money." She pushed the cloth bag back to Aunt Lu, but Aunt Lu quickly withdrew her hand.
"Take it. No matter what, it's okay if you don't have money by your side. The money belongs to the girl. Ruo..." Aunt Lu glanced out of the window quietly again, "If the girl still plans to leave or find a place to hide, you always need Some money. When the old nanny leaves the city, what excuse can the girl use to let me in? After all, she has to find a way to make herself well."
An Ruochen blinked hard, holding back tears. "Ma'am, General Long is a good man." She glanced out the window, where the three were still talking. "They just happened to be talking there, and they didn't want to monitor me. If they really guarded against me, they would find someone to watch in the dark."
Aunt Lu thought about it and thought it made sense. "How did the girl get here, and what are her plans in the future, can you tell me?"
An Ruochen shook his head: "Ma'am, it's a long story, but you don't have to worry about me. I'm really good here, General Long saved me, and I will do something for General Long. I won't run away again, I My sister is gone, I want to find her."
"Four girls?"
An Ruochen nodded.
Aunt Lu said: "Well, I will also take care of the young lady. If I find out about the fourth young lady, I will come and tell the young lady."
An Ruochen said gratefully, "Thank you, aunt."
"It should be." Aunt Lu calmly replied: "At first, the girl saved my life. I didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, I understood all the things. The girl is so kind, I will keep it in my heart."
An Ruochen's tears finally fell: "Ma'am." Since she had figured everything out, she should understand that the owner of the house surnamed Chen and her were both implicated by An Ruochen. And Mrs. Lu didn't blame her at all, and thanked her for saving her life.
An Ruochen said: "I am sorry for you."
"I don't blame you." Aunt Lu said: "It's those wicked people who do evil things, what's the matter with you?" She paused, and asked: "Those people, are they careful?"
An Ruochen nodded.
"You heard their secret, didn't you?"
An Ruochen nodded.
Aunt Lu was silent for a moment: "Then I won't say anything more. I will find an opportunity to talk to your old nanny, don't worry. I will also help to pay attention to your fourth sister's matter. You keep the money, you are alone Here, there is no helper around me, who knows what will happen in the future, there is always something close to me. If you need me, you can find me again. I have nothing to worry about in this world, but I am not afraid of trouble."
An Ruochen choked up and nodded.
Aunt Lu looked out of the window again, stood up, and bowed to An Ruochen: "Miss, my man is a rough man, but he said that anyone who values love and righteousness, even if he is a pawn, is indomitable. I deeply think that Yes. I think this can also be said. Anyone who values love and justice, even though she is a woman, is upright. I admire you if you are unwilling to get married, and you dare to escape. You go to beat the drums in the middle of the night to complain, in order to find your sister, I admire you. You know that old man Chen is dead, and you are thinking about my safety, trying to find someone to save me, I am grateful to you. I wish you all the best, please take care."
Seeing her get up, An Ruochen also got up quickly. Hearing her words, she shed tears and bowed deeply. "Ma'am, I'm not as good as you."
Aunt Lu smiled, said goodbye and left.
Zong Zeqing entered the room, and saw An Ruochen standing, holding in his hand the broken silver he lent her.
She handed him the broken silver, with tears in her eyes, but smiling: "General Zong, I'm so lucky, I always meet good people."
Zong Zeqing was stunned, he wanted An Ruochen to keep the money, but Long Da stared at him from the side, and he felt embarrassed again. It's one thing to lend some money to a girl in private, but another thing to give it to a girl in front of others, and there was something wrong, so I took it.
An Ruochen thanked him, and bowed to Long Da and Xie Gang to say goodbye. Walked on crutches.
Zong Zeqing rubbed his nose and held the small piece of broken silver, feeling a little embarrassed under Long Da's stare. I had no choice but to find something to say: "General, you see Miss An is really worthless. If someone does her a favor and doesn't want her money, she thinks that the other party is a good person. How can I deal with Xiaozuo if she is so ruthless?"
Long Da didn't reply.
Xie Gang said: "People like you have become generals, don't worry about Miss An."
Zong Zeqing stared: "What am I, I am brave and resourceful."
Xie Gang smiled: "Yes, yes."
Zong Zeqing was unconvinced: "Hmph, who are you kidding? Just wait and see, I will definitely train Ms. An to be a master and teach her to take down the secret work in one fell swoop."
Xie Gang continued to smile: "It seems that I have to leave it to General Zong."
Long Da nodded. Then he turned and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Xie Gang waited for Long Da to go far away, and then he said in surprise: "Hey, Master General said he was going to teach Miss An how to deal with Xi Zuo, why didn't he go?"
Zong Zeqing's face collapsed immediately: "Wait, have I been framed by you?"
"How could it be?" Xie Gang looked sincere, "You and I are good brothers."
Zong Zeqing: "..." Sure, he must have been framed.
On the second day, Long Da left Ziyun Tower again and went to the military camp outside the city. An Ruochen didn't see Long Da's face, and just continued to recuperate quietly and study hard.
On the day An Zhifu and An Ronggui returned home, Aunt Lu saw the old nanny. The two found a secluded place to talk in detail. After listening to Aunt Lu's words, the old nanny burst into tears. I just blame myself for being useless, unable to protect my girl, I didn't know her thoughts before, but now I'm still tired of worrying about her.
Aunt Lu took the opportunity to persuade her to find a chance to leave quickly and protect herself.
But the old nanny hung her head for a long while, but suddenly said: "I, I never thought that there would be a way out for women to be disobedient. My young lady married An Zhifu, and her life is not good. I advise her to first be patient, and second Show off the majesty of the mistress, so that you can control the overall situation and live comfortably. But she couldn't help it, she couldn't control it. I quietly invited the villain Daxianding to help her deal with those concubines and foxes, but Useless. My lady died of depression in the end. I feel sad and blame myself, but there is nothing I can do.
It never occurred to me that there would be another way. The eldest girl is married to Qian's mansion, I dare not tell the young lady, for fear that she will be sad in the world. I went to the temple to burn incense, cursed that Qian Pei would die early, and taught the big girl to learn how to please her aunts. At least I have to live in Qian's house, and I can endure it for a few years. Don't stop the old man from taking concubines and girls, just let him go , and even help him find more concubines. The older he is, the more ridiculous he is, the sooner he will die. I only think about these things..." She said here, wiping away her tears: "I only know that this is the only way to do this, but I never thought that the big girl would dare to think otherwise. It turned out that she never intended to give in, what was treachery to please, what was humiliation, I now understand that she was willing to do this in order to take another path. Another way that I have never thought of, dare not think of. "
Aunt Lu sighed: "Grandma, what's the use of talking about it now. Since the eldest girl has gone out, let her go. She cares about you, so you can teach her to feel at ease."
The old nanny shook her head: "My, I've been talking about going back to my hometown for the elderly, but where can I go? I only hope that I can take care of the eldest girl until she grows old, so that I can be worthy of my young lady. The eldest girl always urges me to leave, I thought She doesn't want me to see her marry into the Qian Mansion and feel sad. Now that I know how thoughtful and courageous she is, I can't leave."
Aunt Lu frowned: "How did you say that?"
"Sister, since the eldest girl entrusted you to come here, she must trust you. She used to talk to you all the time, and now I understand what's going on. I'm a useless person, so the eldest girl doesn't tell me if she has ideas. Knowing that I will definitely stop her, I will persuade her not to be reckless and not to think too much, just like persuading her mother. She doesn't want to do this, she feels that she can't rely on me."
Aunt Lu said anxiously: "Mommy, the eldest girl definitely doesn't think so. She doesn't want to drag you down and put you in danger."
The old nannie shook her head: "Don't comfort me anymore, I understand in my heart. I was wrong in the past. Now that the eldest girl has escaped, I am very happy. As for me, I am an old bone. It is not a pity to die. What else do I care for?" Old. I don't feel at ease when I leave. Let me tell you, that **** An Zhifu has a poisonous heart. He must hate her for running away like this, and she is still in this city. He hurriedly said: I went to Fu'an County to meet Qian Pei, and stayed for a few days. What did they discuss during these few days? How do they want to deal with the young lady? I have to stay in Anfu to keep an eye on the news, if they try to treat the young lady Unfavorable, I have to report to the eldest girl."
