Shi Yurou looked at Su Nuannuan with resentment: "Sister-in-law, I know I was not good in the past and offended you, but I think I have been very considerate these days. Can't you sympathize with me? Even if you pretend, do you have to look so excited and ready to gloat over other people's misfortunes?"
"Hmm! Is it obvious?" Su Nuannuan touched her face: "I think I'm in control pretty well."
Shi Yurou was speechless for a while, then nodded angrily: "Bah! Your smile is almost overflowing, and you still have the nerve to talk about control?"
"Be content, I just didn't put on a good expression. I haven't used words to stab you in the heart." Su Nuannuan laughed, but heard Shi Yurou say faintly: "Your expression is more hurtful than words."
"That's nonsense. At any time, the offensive power of words is n times greater than that of expressions." Su Nuannuan said seriously, "For example, if I say now, sister-in-law, if you have anything that makes you unhappy, please tell me and make me happy. Tell me, how would you feel when you hear this?"
Shi Yurou: ... "I want to vomit blood."
"That's right, so you say, are words more hurtful than expressions?" Su Nuannuan laughed: "What's more, I haven't asked Honglian Xiangyun and the others to bring some melon seeds, pine nuts, snacks and tea, so what else are you not satisfied with?"
"This...what's the explanation?" Shi Yurou asked cautiously. She knew in her heart that it was impossible to get Su Nuannuan to say anything good, but she couldn't help but be curious. People are sometimes so mean.
"Do you even need to ask that?" Sure enough, Su Nuannuan gave her a look that said "you're so stupid" and then chuckled, "Pearl seeds and tea are must-haves when listening to a book in a restaurant. It's really comfortable to eat pumpkin seeds and drink tea while listening to a book."
Shi Yurou: ...Okay. Sure enough, she was right. Asking such a question was just asking for trouble.
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I was really wrong."
Shi Yurou was not a pushover either. After a moment of silence, she murmured in a particularly sad tone. Su Nuannuan thought she was going to gossip, but she looked up and looked at her sincerely. She said sincerely, "I used to laugh at and despise my sister-in-law's hypocrisy. Now that I think about it, it's really wrong. The hypocritical sister-in-law always looks cute and gentle. Now this person who speaks the truth just wants to be punched and kicked."
Su Nuannuan: ... "So, you are expressing your true feelings? It turns out that telling the truth is not pleasant to hear."
The two looked at each other unconvinced, and after a while they couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then they burst into laughter until Su Nuannuan had finished laughing. Shi Yurou was still there, bending over with her belly in her hands, laughing until tears came out, leaving Su Nuannuan on the other side speechless, thinking that this second grandma's sense of humor was too low. Is it that serious?
After a while, Shi Yurou finally stopped laughing. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "That's great. Since I was old enough to understand, I have never laughed so hard. Now that I have finished laughing, I feel that the depression that has been in my heart for so many years has disappeared by more than half. No wonder Aunt Jing and Aunt Jiang were conquered by you. Even someone like my elder brother is devoted to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is really a wonderful person."
Su Nuannuan yawned and said, "I said you were a little too gloomy on weekdays. It turns out that you have never laughed heartily. This is not good. You must know that a smile makes you ten years younger. Life must go on. You frown for a day, scheme for a day, and finish housework with a smile for a day. Why don't you make yourself happy? Do you think that if you frown every day, people will sympathize with you? If you avoid and shrink, your life will be better? I don't think so. Especially in this big mansion, it is the place where people are bullied the most. If you don't find ways to be happy, others will not care whether you live or die."
These words were a bit messy, but they were exactly what Shi Yurou was thinking. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her head and smiled, "Sister-in-law is right. I was the one who made the mistake. You look a little tired, so I won't disturb you to rest. I'll leave now."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out, leaving Su Nuannuan stunned. After a long while, she finally called out, "Hey! How can you just leave like that? At least you should tell me why you came to hide here. I've already kept you waiting, but you just walk away and leave? How can that be so unfair?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Honglian came in and said with a smile, "Second Madam left long ago, so who are you telling this to, Grandma?"
"That's right, don't do that." Su Nuannuan covered her chest in frustration, "Next time you see her coming over, just close the door and let her attract money. She's pissed me off."
Honglian covered her lips and smiled secretly, then continued, "Okay, grandma, don't be curious. I just heard from Guizhi about the matter of the Second Madam. She said that Madam Min intended to marry her distant niece to the Second Master as a concubine because the Second Madam couldn't give birth to a child. So the Second Madam is worried about this matter."
"Are you upset about this? I have two concubines in my main room, but I'm not upset." Su Nuannuan really felt strange: "Besides, your Second Master is not a lovesick person, right? Aren't there several maids in his room?"
Honglian smiled and said, "Are you confused, grandma? How can a maidservant compare to Madam Min's distant niece? The maidservants' lives are in the hands of the Second Grandma. She can give birth if she wants them to, and die if she wants them to. If she makes the Second Grandma unhappy, she can ask a trafficker to come in and sell them. But can Madam Min's niece do this? She will be a concubine when she enters the house. Once she gives birth to a son, she will probably be a co-wife. Do you think the Second Grandma will not be upset? She is also very capable. She has been dragging this matter, but now it is obvious that she can't drag it on any longer. Madam Min is not as easy-going as our Madam. Otherwise, the Second Grandma would not hide in our Chunfeng Garden today."
"I see."
Su Nuannuan resolved her doubts and finally felt refreshed. She smiled and shook her head and sighed, "Mrs. Min is also a person who doesn't learn from her mistakes. How did she and Tingye suppress the first wife back then? Besides the fact that the master was busy with government affairs outside and didn't care much about the backyard, wasn't it because the first wife, concubines, and mistresses were fighting among themselves, which gave them the opportunity to take advantage of them? Now I am the only one who controls the first wife, but she wants to split up. She doesn't even understand the principle of one side gaining while the other loses, and she is still busy playing house fighting."
Honglian smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry about other people's affairs. Second Grandma is not an easy person to deal with. Let them make a fuss as much as they want. If they make a fuss, we will have some peace here." After saying that, she covered Su Nuannuan with a thin quilt. Suddenly, Su Nuannuan smiled and said, "Yes, I don't worry about other people's affairs. I only worry about my own family's affairs. Let me ask you, has Mother Liu complained about me secretly?"
