But after Lan Rui and his wife entered the house, he went upstairs to greet his parents as usual.
Shen Yimo went straight back to her room without greeting her parents-in-law.
She and her in-laws have already fallen out.
"lady."
As soon as Shen Yimo returned to the room, Aunt Ling came to find her.
"Madam, the old lady wants you to go to her room. She has something to say to you and the head of the family."
After a moment of silence, Shen Yimo turned around and walked out of the room silently without saying a word.
Aunt Ling seemed to want to say something but stopped herself when she walked by.
Shen Yimo stopped and said to Aunt Ling: "Aunt Ling, I know it's difficult for you too. Just do your job well and don't worry that I will misunderstand you. If I misunderstand you, I will be happy."
"Thank you, ma'am, for trusting me."
Aunt Ling is very grateful.
She is now being ordered around by the old lady, and what she fears most is that the lady will think she has sided with the old lady.
In the past, she always sided with the Madam. Now that the Madam and the master of the house have reconciled, she is even more on the Madam's side. Not to mention her, anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that in this big manor, the Madam is the real mistress.
Shen Yimo took Aunt Ling to the old lady's room. When she entered, the old lady and her husband were already sitting on the double sofa, and Lan Rui was sitting opposite the couple.
Seeing Shen Yimo come in, Lan Rui hurriedly stood up to support his wife, and the couple sat together.
Seeing that the couple were both old, and once they reconciled, they were still as happy as newlyweds, the old lady looked at her eldest daughter-in-law with complicated eyes.
Logically speaking, she felt sorry for Shen Yimo.
But she also resented Chen Yimo, thinking that it was because Chen Yimo refused to forgive her two younger sons that her eldest son sent his two younger brothers in jail.
"Huh."
The old lady sneezed.
She was really old. She caught a cold after being exposed to the cold wind for just a few minutes.
The old patriarch said to her, "Everyone said to call a doctor, but you were afraid of taking medicine and refused to see a doctor. They thought you were still young, but you are already old and can't handle it anymore."
"My hair is gray. I'm old and can't bear it anymore. My old bones are getting worse and worse. Sigh, I don't know how long I can hold on. Can I even see my great-grandson born?"
"I don't even have a granddaughter-in-law yet, and I'm already thinking about my great-grandson."
We can look forward to having a great-grandson, as Mu Qing is already pregnant.
The old couple talked to each other and made Lan Rui and his wife understand the intention of their parents calling them over.
However, the couple both had stern faces and serious expressions as they listened to the two old people acting.
After a while, the old lady finally got to the point. She sighed heavily and then said, "Lan Rui, your parents can't be blamed for knowing about the second and third children's affairs. It's just that we, as parents, can't help but feel sad."
"Mom is getting older and her health is getting worse. I've been very happy for most of my life. If it weren't for the second and third children's problems, I would have been happy until I died."
Lan Rui said nothing, his dark eyes fixed on his mother, waiting for her to continue.
"Our family has been through so much, and now the entire manor feels dead and gloomy. Your father and I are in a very bad mood. I suggested to you earlier that you and your wife match Lan Zheng and Xu Susu. How have you considered it?"
"I was thinking, if you and your wife have no objection, we should help the two youngsters get married as soon as possible. It would add a happy event to our manor and make me feel better. If I could hold my great-grandson in my arms before I die, I would die with my eyes closed."
The old patriarch took over the conversation, "Lan Rui, your mother just wants to hold a wedding to cheer herself up. You see, your mother and I are getting worse and worse. If we hold a wedding to cheer ourselves up, maybe our family will get better in the future."
Lan Rui sneered in his heart. His parents were really eager to take revenge on him and his son.
It's only been a few days since the two younger brothers were taken away by the police. The sentencing hasn't even begun yet, and the parents are already eager to seek revenge on their sons.
The parents thought that their son had brought them harm and pain, so they took revenge on their son by letting their father taste the pain as well.
"Dad, Mom, you're not feeling well. You should see a doctor. A wedding to bring good luck is useless. If it worked, what would we need a doctor for? Besides, Lan Zheng and Second Miss Xu have no feelings for each other. Lan Zheng doesn't like Second Miss Xu at all. Forcing two people without feelings to become husband and wife will only harm them and make them suffer for the rest of their lives."
The old lady just wanted to make Lan Zheng suffer for the rest of his life.
"Didn't I ask you to arrange for Lan Zheng to go to City A to develop business? Once he's there, he can develop a relationship with Susu. Susu and Qingqing will become good friends. If Lan Zheng marries Susu, Qingqing won't have to worry about any sister-in-law conflicts."
"Susu is the most suitable girl for Lan Zheng. Lan Zheng is too cold and hard, so he needs to marry a gentle wife like Susu, so that he can overcome his hardness with gentleness."
Lan Rui wanted to say something, but Shen Yimo quietly pulled her husband, and Lan Rui said, "Mom, this is Lan Zheng's marriage. The child is grown up and has his own ideas. As a father, I will not interfere in his private affairs. If you can convince him to marry Miss Xu, I have no objection."
The daughter-in-law comes home to live with her son. As long as her son has no objection, what objection can he, as the father-in-law, have?
"Call Lan Zheng now and ask him to come back. I'll talk to him in person."
The old lady looked like she couldn't wait for Lan Zheng and Xu Susu to get their marriage certificate.
Her purpose was very obvious, but she did not hide it.
The eldest son and his wife are not stupid, how could they not know what her real purpose is?
She just wanted to make Lan Zheng's marriage unhappy. The more they got married, the better. She wanted to use Xu Susu to tie Lan Zheng down for life. As long as Lan Zheng married Xu Susu, if he wanted to divorce, Mu Qing would ask her brother to think twice.
"Mom, there's no rush for this. Let's wait until Qingqing and Junbo's wedding is over. Qingqing's wedding is on the 26th day of the 12th lunar month, so it's pretty quick. However, it will be Chinese New Year right after Qingqing's wedding. After Chinese New Year, let Lan Zheng and Second Miss Xu get along well and see if they can develop feelings for each other."
"Huh."
The old lady sneezed again and said, "With my health like this, I don't know how much longer I can last. I'd better get their wedding done soon. I can rush through the happy event and maybe I can even live to see my great-grandson go to school."
Shen Yimo curled his lips.
I was complaining in my heart: Dream on!
Old lady: A scourge should live for a thousand years. In the eyes of your family, I am a scourge, so I must live for a thousand years to make you angry to death.
Lan Rui was silent.
Finally, under the repeated persuasion and urging of his parents, he had to call his son and ask him to come back quickly to discuss the important matter of his life.
After Lan Zheng received a call from his father, he flew into a rage. After hanging up, he happily sent a message to Xu Susu. The message read: "Susu, the old woman in my family couldn't wait to get revenge on me and asked me to marry you."
Xu Susu: “…”
