Chapter 498: Almost had a heart attack

Zhulan stood there for a while, and only spoke after Rongchuan finished writing. This child was so focused on writing. "It's well written. Can you give it to me?"

Rongchuan was admiring the calligraphy when he heard the voice and was startled. Then he noticed the aunt beside him, "Aunt, when did you come?"

Zhulan picked up the paper. She had practiced calligraphy a lot. Her writing was not very good, but just average. If a modern grandfather saw this piece of calligraphy, he would definitely be very happy. "I've been here for a while. I saw that you wrote seriously and I didn't have the heart to call you. I'll take this piece of calligraphy."

Rong Chuan was a little embarrassed, "As long as Auntie likes it, it's just that what I wrote is not particularly good."

He is still not satisfied.

Zhulan, "........it's already very good."

This kid is definitely a genius in modern times!

Rong Chuan said embarrassedly: "I have only practiced this calligraphy for a short time, and there are still many places where the writing is not natural."

Zhulan couldn't see it, so she put down the paper in her hand and took the calligraphy from Mrs. Song, "This is for you, your uncle's new calligraphy."

Rongchuan took it with surprise and flipped through it quickly, then he felt embarrassed. He heard Changzhi say that his uncle got the calligraphy, and Changzhi had been talking about it for a long time. If he had not been afraid of his uncle, he would have wanted to steal it. Now it is his. Rongchuan could imagine that after Changzhi knew about it, the calligraphy would not be kept.

Afterwards, Rong Chuan felt warm in his heart, "Auntie, no one has ridiculed me recently."

He changed a lot of things he used, and he knew that this was his aunt's way of protecting him.

Zhulan smiled, "I know, but I heard that you took leave for calligraphy, and I brought it to you because I had something new at home."

Rong Chuan couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Song. Nothing at home could be hidden from this woman. "Thank you, Auntie. I will study hard."

"You also need to balance work and rest, and don't overwork yourself."

"Um."

Zhulan was worried that her son would wake up soon, so she said, "I'll go home first."

"I'm sending my aunt off."

Zhulan returned to the yard and found her son had woken up and was crying. Zhulan held her son in her arms and coaxed him for a while before he stopped crying. This child was the most attached to her.

It was Zhulan who gave Rongchuan the calligraphy personally. This was no secret. Although the other rooms would not inquire about Zhulan's news, they would still pay attention to her movements.

First wife, Li is used to it. Mother has always been very good to Rongchuan. Li just let it go and focused on choosing clothes to wear tomorrow.

The second wife didn't care at all, as Mrs. Zhao was obsessed with the concubines.

The only ones he was concerned about were Sanfang and Changzhi. When Changzhi got the letter, he killed them directly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Dong was moved, "Mother-in-law really dotes on Rongchuan. She gave the calligraphy that father-in-law wouldn't let her husband touch directly to Rongchuan."

After hearing this, Dong Lin couldn't eat her lunch, even though the dishes on the table were all her favorites. Looking at her eldest grandson who lowered his head even more, Dong Lin felt even more upset.

Mrs. Dong didn't notice her mother's expression and continued to sigh, "My father-in-law praised Rongchuan, and even my husband praised him!"

The chopsticks in Dong Liao's hand fell, and Dong noticed it, "What happened?"

Dong Lin saw that she could no longer hide the truth, so she signaled the maid to leave, and then told her what happened in the morning. Seeing that the lady's face turned pale, Dong Lin felt even more upset, "That's what happened."

Dong Liao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, "Grandma, did you and Grandma Yang hear this together?"

Seeing her grandson's frightened look, Dong Lin felt distressed. "Go and apologize to Rongchuan later. We will be back in a few days."

Mrs. Dong had recovered from her shock. She was so angry that she held her handkerchief tightly. She understood that the boy wanted to stay. Everyone has ambitions, but one should not be so stupid as to offend others and think that he is bullying those who are easy to bully. There is no one in the entire Zhou family who is easy to bully.

Dong was pregnant and had an irritable temper. Chang Lian protected and doted on her, and her mother-in-law was sensible. Dong had never been angry before. If she got angry today, how would she live in the future? She saw how much her younger sister was doted on and how much Rongchuan was loved by his parents. Dong thought of the time when she was punished by her mother-in-law. She glared at Dong Liao and couldn't help but slammed the table in anger.

Dong Lin was shocked. "You are still holding it in your heart. Calm down."

Mrs. Dong was furious. She was already under a lot of pressure with her fourth brother's wife as the county lord, and her own nephew was holding her back. Mrs. Dong thought of her second sister-in-law. Although her mother still treated her equally, she could see clearly that her mother was not sincere to her second sister-in-law. "Mother, you should talk to father and take good care of the household."

After seeing Dong Liao's reaction, she no longer expected anyone from the Dong family to stand up and support her. She just hoped that they would not cause her any trouble.

Dong Lin's expression froze. Why was she unwilling to go to the eldest daughter's house? Not only because the eldest daughter was marrying for the second time, but also because her status was higher than hers. Even if she respected her, sometimes her unintentional actions made her uncomfortable.

She really loves the little daughter, but the little daughter looked too much like the eldest daughter just now. She looked at the little daughter carefully and found that she was not only the wife of a scholar, but also the third wife of the Zhou family. Her future son-in-law's official career was guaranteed. The little daughter might even be awarded an imperial title in the future. The daughter no longer had to rely on her family. Instead, it was the Dong family that needed her.

Dong Lin sighed inwardly, "I know."

After Zhulan coaxed the child to sleep after dinner, she learned that Dong Liao had gone to make an apology, and that Dong Lin had spent money to buy calligraphy and paintings as an atonement, and that she had bled.

Zhulan did not wait for Mrs. Dong, and this is where Mrs. Dong was smart. She said it was a matter between the two children, and now it was up to the two children to solve it themselves.

The next day, Zhulan accompanied Dong Lin to the temple as planned, but the atmosphere had completely changed after yesterday. Although they still communicated, they could no longer find the feeling of intimacy.

Dong Lin asked for a fortune. Zhulan didn't ask, but from her expression, it was definitely not a good fortune.

On the way back to the city, Dong Lin said, "I wanted to stay a little longer, but I miss my family so much that I will be back in three days."

Zhulan sincerely pleaded, "Please stay a little longer. We have only just arrived."

Mrs. Dong Lin felt heavy-hearted when she thought of the signature. Her eldest grandson had become restless. For the sake of the Dong family, it would be better for him to go home. "No, Chuchu and the child are both fine. I have nothing to worry about."

It’s a pity that I missed such a rare opportunity to maintain our relationship. I don’t know how my dad will get angry when I get home!

Zhulan was silent for a moment, "Then I won't stay any longer."

Dong Lin was surprised and said that luckily the daughter-in-law would be able to go back next year, so she was not afraid of not seeing her. She could just go back to see her in the future, as she would not come out again.

After returning home, Dong Lin said she was tired and went back to rest.

Zhulan coaxed him for a while, and then waited for Changlian to come back. Changlian came in and naturally took over the younger brother, "Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhulan, "Your mother-in-law will be back in three days, you should get ready."

Chang Lian held his brother and sat down, "It's better to go back, so that Dong Liao won't be impatient and lose his sense of propriety."

Today he and Shi Qing went to the study and heard even more, especially Dong Liao's flattering words, which made him so angry that he almost had a heart attack. The person Dong Liao was flattering was the young master of the Bai family, and the Bai family almost plotted against his sister!
