Chapter 6 Shameless
The result of the bet was of course that He Ran won, so He Shuyun told what happened in the mansion according to He Ran's questions.
Less than half a year after Lao's death, Mr. He married Yan because he wanted to marry Yan and take care of his poor daughter.
For this reason, after a big quarrel between Lao's family and the He family, they never had any contact with each other again, including their granddaughter.
However, Yan regarded this stepdaughter as her own. In He Shuyun's words, she had envied her eldest sister since she was a child. Compared with her eldest sister, she was like her stepmother's child.
The Yan family later gave birth to two more sons and one daughter. The eldest son He Shuming and the second daughter He Shuting were twins. They are also 11 years old this year, only a few months older than He Shuyun. The youngest son He Shuqiao is only six years old.
"Because of that incident, the eldest uncle was worried that the eldest sister could not bear the blow, so she asked the eldest brother and the second sister to accompany her to her maternal home. If they were in the house, they would definitely come to see you now, eldest sister. very good."
The "thing" He Shuyun mentioned was of course the fact that Miss He was a fake.
He Shuyun always called her "big sister", but she called He Ran "you". He Ran didn't care at all.
"Does the old lady also love your eldest sister the most?"
The corner of He Shuyun's mouth slightly lowered: "Except for the third uncle and the second brother, my grandmother doesn't love anyone. Don't think that you can sit back and relax as long as you coax your grandmother well. That is someone else's family, not ours. Our grandmother, except for Except for the third uncle and the second brother, no one can coax him."
Just now at Chunhui Hall, He Ran already knew that there was another Mr. He San in the He family. The Sanfang family went to celebrate his father-in-law's birthday, but he was not really sure and would not be back until two days later.
He Ran was curious: "When grandma gets angry, can't your eldest sister comfort her?"
"Of course I can't coax her. Even though the eldest sister is favored, I have already said it in front of my uncle and aunt. Except for my third uncle and my second brother, my grandmother doesn't love anyone. Why don't you understand? "
He Shuyun was impatient, but facing He Ran's clear and stupid eyes, He Shuyun decided to do one good deed every day.
"I'm telling you, you must never say it was me who said it."
He Ran nodded quickly: "Yes, I promise not to tell."
Seeing her being so successful, He Shuyun was satisfied. She looked around and saw that she and He Ran were the only two people in the room.
He Shuyun then said: "Apart from third uncle and second brother, what grandma cares most about is her private property, her dowry, her private money, and the things in her house. As long as it is in her private account, no one can Don't even think about it. You may not believe it. During the Chinese New Year, when we kowtowed to her, she didn't even give her any money. As long as the money and things passed through her hands, it was definitely a meat bun and a dog. Once it was gone No return.”
The latter sentence was often used by the second wife to scold the old lady behind her back. He Shuyun heard it too much and said it without paying attention.
Fortunately, He Ran was used to hearing foul language and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"No wonder, my grandmother rewarded me with this."
He Ran took out the bracelet that the old lady had rewarded, and He Shuyun recognized the brocade box at a glance: "This is the birthday gift my mother gave me on my grandmother's birthday the year before last year. It was still the filial piety period at that time, so there was no big event, but the birthday gifts were all in every room. I gave it to you, yes, it’s this box. I recognize it, but this bracelet is not the same. The bracelet my mother gave me is very good, and it cost 50 taels of silver. It’s not such a bargain."
He Ran laughed. She just said that this brocade box looked much more valuable than the bracelet.
He Ran asked about his biological mother, Lao Shi, but He Shuyun didn't know. She was young and when she was born, He and Lao's family had already turned against each other and had stopped contacting each other.
He Shuyun was young and knew only so much, but He Ran also knew everything she wanted to know.
"When I entered the city, I saw many people on the street and the road was so wide that four carriages could walk abreast."
He Shuyun thought to herself that Yan'er was right, this person really had never seen the world.
"Although Zhending is prosperous, it can't compare with the capital city."
"Really? Have you been to the capital? But Zhending Mansion is also very prosperous, much more prosperous than Wanchun County. I heard people say that there is a Zhuangyuan Building in Zhending Mansion, which is very big. Is it true?" He Shuyun He snorted: "Zhuangyuan Building? Is that still big? The largest restaurant in Zhending Mansion is Jinghong Building. There is also a Jinghong Building in the capital, but it is the Silver Building. I don't know if it is the same owner. I heard from my cousin that Baoding Mansion There is also Jinghong Tower."
He Shuyun was talking enthusiastically, and when she raised her eyes, she saw He Ranzheng looking at her with starry eyes, wow, you know so much!
The next day, Mrs. Yan sent someone to invite He Ran over. What He Ran was wearing were the clothes that Liu's mother bought for her in a clothing store, a light green coat, an emerald green skirt, and emerald green embroidered shoes of the same color. I looked down and saw that it looked like an onion, only the leaves were not white.
Mr. Yan was sitting in front of the Eight Immortals' table. Although he applied makeup, it still couldn't cover up the bruises under his eyes. Coupled with the red bloodshot eyes, it looked like he hadn't slept well.
He Ran saluted and called "Mother" obediently.
However, Yan did not respond or let her sit down. He glared at her fiercely: "Who are you?"
She didn't know if she had amnesia, but the person in front of her was definitely not the fool Yan'er said.
How could a fool make her lose face in front of Mother Shi with just a few words?
A fool could break her arm in just a few words?
Yes, Mother Liu is Yan's arm. Although she bought it, she can only place it outside. It is impossible to return home.
In the house, Yan's mother was missing, and nothing she did felt right.
Yan now wishes she could tear apart the fake in front of her. Compared to her Yuan'er, this is the real fake.
However, Yan's cold-as-a-dagger gaze was replaced by He Ran's innocent look: "I am He Ran. I am the daughter you and your father worked so hard to find. I am the legacy of the He family. Is it still the daughter of the He family?" The wife of the crown prince of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion who has never been married."
"You, you, you, you deserve it?" Yan felt that the fake in front of her was the most shameless person she had ever seen.
He Ran felt that she should behave more shamelessly so that Yan could completely remember her shamelessness.
So she looked at the golden hairpin on Yan's head with green eyes: "Mother, if the hairpin on your head is worn on my head, it will be more suitable for me."
"Get out!" Yan roared.
So He Ran decisively left.
But she didn't go back to her apartment, but went to the back door. She said to the back door: "My mother told me to go away. I can't stay in this house anymore. I'll find a place to hang myself."
Then, she slithered out from the door like a loach. When the door reacted, the newly minted young lady had disappeared.
Menzi was startled, God, something big happened. The eldest lady went to hang herself, but he was the one who let her out! No, the eldest lady just said that it was the eldest lady who asked her to get out. Yes, if the eldest lady really died, she was forced to death by the eldest lady. The stepmother forced her stepdaughter to death. This is a big deal. Go quickly. Report to the old lady and the second lady! Menzi met Yan'er on the road. Yan'er was looking for the eldest lady. When she went to the toilet, the girl disappeared. He Ran went to the pawn shop first and pawned the bracelet that the old lady gave her. She pawned the bracelet for two taels alive and four taels for the dead. She chose to pawn the dead bracelet and exchanged it with the pawn shop for a handful of copper coins. Carrying the silver and the handful of copper coins, she found a letter-writing stall, borrowed paper and pen, and wrote a few words on the paper.
She looked around and found that Zhending Mansion had changed a lot over the past few decades. Besides, she had been to too many places and it was impossible for her to remember the streets and alleys of every place.
She had no choice but to call a child and gave him two copper coins. The child led her two streets and pointed across the road: "That's Jinghong Tower."
He Ran tilted her head and looked at the building in front of her with a smile, satisfaction in her eyes.
It's well maintained. It's an old house that's been there for decades, but it still looks solid and majestic.
She handed the piece of paper with the writing on it to the child, took out two more copper coins, and played with them in her hand: "Give this paper to the shopkeeper of Jinghong Tower. These two copper coins are also yours."
