Chapter 247： They are not just friends

Chapter 247 They are not just friends

After she came out of the space, she walked around the house, and the three little oceans followed behind her.

Go to the old lady to report first, the old man's eyes sharpened, and he immediately felt the difference in Qiao Mai.

"Girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you up to?"

"Research something, how are you doing at home"

"Don't worry, we'll watch over you, nothing will happen, I've got that kid at home and haven't come back for a while"

Qiao Mai sat on the edge of the kang, and the old lady poured her a cup of tea with a smile.

"If he doesn't come back, you won't go?"

"How good is the family, I don't want to move paralyzed"

"Haha, we are too, we are used to staying with you and don't want to go anywhere"

"Then will you return to Fucheng this year?"

"I won't go back. We are so old and don't want to go back and forth. We will celebrate the New Year with you. We have agreed with Zong Sheng. They said that if there is no heavy snow this year, we will come to you."

"Okay, it happens that there are so many people"

The old lady looked at Qiao Mai with relief, "Thanks to you, Zihan recovered very well, and is ready to end next year."

"Really, that would be great, I remember he was eighteen?"

"Eighteen years old, although he started late, but the husband said he has potential."

"Of course, it doesn't matter whose grandson or son Zihan is?"

The old man and the old lady were delighted to hear this, and burst out laughing.

While talking, the woman reported outside the door, "Old man, old lady, a letter has been delivered from Fucheng."

"Bring it in"

The woman came in and handed the letter to the old man with both hands. After he opened it and read it, his originally happy face suddenly became gloomy.

The old lady asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with the old man?"

"That girl Jiaru is over there with a pair of children"

The old lady immediately became happy when she heard that, "Oh, that's great, let's tidy up and go back and have a look. I haven't seen my Ru'er for many years."

"Do you know why she came back?"

"Did something happen in the capital?"

"What can happen in the capital? It's Li Longji's concubine, or two at once. Her in-laws dislike her and her stomach hasn't moved in the past few years. They want to spread branches and leaves for the Li family. Jiaru has a big fight with them. , went back to her mother's house with the two little ones."

Hearing this reason, the old lady was silent.

"It's impossible to stop the concubine from the Li family. They can tolerate Jiaru for several years, which is already pretty good. Isn't there a lot of women in the backyard of the royal family and nobles?"

"She provoked this marriage, and she also agreed to it. No one forced her. It doesn't do any good for her to make such a fuss now."

"Well, if she wants to come back to live in Duan, she can come back and live in Duan. Zong Sheng's wife will persuade her."

Qiao Mai listened to it without humming. To marry into the family of the royal family and nobles, one must be mentally prepared for this.

It was so cold, so she ran back with the child like this. If something happened along the way, she would not regret it for the rest of her life. It was really impulsive.

The reason why she didn't even ask was very simple. It had been several years. At the very beginning, she wrote a few letters to her family, most of which were asking here or there.

After that, there was no more news. Qiao Mai regarded her as a friend, and whenever she needed, she would satisfy her.

Wang Jiaru seemed to be here for her things.

When she got married, she gave her so many expensive gifts, and even saved her in time.

I really don't know if Wang Jiaru regards her as a friend.

The old man found that Qiao Mai didn't say a word, so he looked at her who bowed her head in silence.

"Girl, your grandmother and I want to go back to Fucheng"

"Shouldn't you come back years ago?"

"If Jiaru stays at home for the New Year, she probably won't come back"

"Okay then, I'll prepare New Year's goods for you,"

She didn't mention Jiaru at all, the old man sighed in his heart, afraid that Ru'er would hurt her heart, they were not only friends, but sworn sworn brothers.

It has come to such a point, when I see Ru'er, I must talk about her well.

That afternoon, Qiao Mai prepared the new year's goods for them, a total of five cars, the old man and the old lady also packed up and saluted that day, and left after breakfast the next morning.

From the beginning to the end, she never mentioned Wang Jiaru.

The two old people left Tianshui Town with five New Year's goods, and it took half a day to return to the royal residence in Fucheng.

The purpose of Wang Zongsheng's letter is also to invite the two old people back.

After arriving home, the two old people went back to their own yard to rest. After all, they were getting old, and it was very tiring to handle the cart on wooden wheels.

Wang Zongsheng and his wife sent someone to call Wang Jiaru, and the two of them were serving the old man.

"Father, mother, you came back so fast."

"Received your letter, Mrs. Qiao prepared the New Year's goods on the same day, we will not leave this time when we come back, we will spend the New Year with Ru'er before leaving."

When Ru'er was mentioned, the couple became a little unhappy, "Father, mother, what do you think should be done?"

"What can we do? This is the case in the royal family, can our family still twist our arms through our thighs?"

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears, "Father, mother, but Ru'er is very sad."

"I told her a long time ago, and it's not like she didn't know. Now that she's sad, she doesn't care. If you have the skills, why don't you think about how to manage the palace, and don't let those vixens fascinate the little prince."

"Mother, I heard that the women who entered the mansion were all good-looking, how could Ru'er compete with them?"

"Iser serves people, it won't last long, after all, she is the young prince's first love, and they fell in love at first sight"

Several people talked in the room for a long time before Wang Jiaru brought her two children over.

As soon as he entered the house, he took his son and daughter with him, and gave a gentle salute to the two old people. He didn't sneak into the old people's arms and act like a baby like before.

The old man just thought she was sad at the moment, and didn't care about it, but the two babies were like carved jade, very gratifying.

The old man was afraid that they would be cold, so he asked them to take off their shoes and get on the kang. The whole family sat around the kang table and drank hot tea.

Old Madam Pang looked at her, "Ru'er, you haven't changed at all, you're still the same as before"

"It's the same as before, the prince doesn't like me anymore, what can I do?"

While wiping her eyes with a handkerchief as she spoke, Mrs. Pang glared at her.

"You should know when you marry into his family. What's the use of crying?"

"Then what should I do?"

"Go back, as soon as you leave, the place will be vacated for those vixens. After a long time, the little prince will recognize who you are?"

"Is there no other way?"

"Tell me, what do you want us to do? We all listen to you, are you going to sue the imperial court, or follow the woman who sent people to surround and kill the palace?"

"I, woo woo woo woo"

Old Madam Pang didn't want to talk to her. In the past few years of her marriage, she felt that Ru'er was putting on airs and wasn't close to them at all.

She ordered her maid and mother-in-law to bring some snacks, and wanted to show them to the children.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jiaru hurriedly stopped her, "Grandmother, you can't let the children eat the food outside. What if they get sick after eating? They are the future little princes and princesses."

Old Madam Pang glared at her, "You often do this, but have you ever gotten sick from eating it?"

"Granddaughter doesn't care, children can't eat this anyway."

The old man watched for a long time without humming, and only now asked, "These are from your sister-in-law's family. You used to write letters to ask for them."

"That was before, the Wangfu ate fine food, and the children have been eating it since they grew up."

"Then you mean the things in your step-sister's house are rough?"

"Grandfather, granddaughter really doesn't mean that, I just think the child is too young."

"It's really Jingui, Ling'er from your righteous sister's family grew up eating these things."

"She is used to it, but our children are not used to it."

The old man gave her a blank look, "Forget it if you don't eat, let's keep it for ourselves."

Seeing that grandmother and grandfather Xiao stopped, Wang Jiaru was secretly relieved.

Today is the fourth day of Xiaoyang. I feel like I have come back to life. For three days in a row, my whole body hurts and I have a fever. God, and I, am only now feeling better.
