Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 531

Li Wan took out a handkerchief and wiped away his tears, his eyes were filled with desolation, and he covered up the ridicule by bowing his head in salute: "The grandson-in-law will go back and think about it carefully, let the old lady worry about the grandson-in-law's fault, the grandson-in-law's Retire."

Seeing that Li Wan had returned to his previous appearance, Mother Jia nodded with satisfaction: "Go back and rest well. Let your mother-in-law come to see me when you have figured it out."

Li Wan replied "Yes" and retreated.

Figured it out?That's the flesh that fell from her body, how should she figure it out?Anyway, Mother Jia had already said that there was no need for Li Wan to worry about the housekeeper's affairs for the time being, so Li Wan took advantage of the situation and hid in his yard without seeing anyone.

About five or six days passed like this. On this day, I heard that Mrs. Li's family came to visit Li Wan. Li Wan moved lazily, but still wanted to see his mother. Mother brought Princess Nan'an.

All the eyes Li Wan looked at his mother were full of betrayal, and those eyes seemed to be accusing: the people in the Jia family are not my blood relatives, so it's fine if they want to take my son away, but you are my biological mother, how can you not? Became a lobbyist for Princess Nan'an?
Mrs. Li saw Li Wan like this, so she couldn't feel her resentment, she just took a step forward and held Li Wan's hand: "Good boy, mother knows that you feel uncomfortable, and I'm here to make this knot for you today. What's the matter, just listen to the concubine tell you in person, if you really don't want to after listening, then no one can make things difficult for you, even if it is the Nan'an palace, even if the Li family offends them completely, Lan'er will not be allowed to go with them This is not only the meaning of the mother, but also the meaning of your father!"

"Mother?"

This time Li Wan couldn't understand, what does mother mean?Didn't she persuade herself to agree to let Jia Lan be their adoptive son on behalf of Princess Nan'an?how……?
Princess Nan'an sighed deeply: "Daughter-in-law Zhu, I know that I was reckless before, so I shouldn't have told the old lady about admitting my adopted son without saying hello to you. Now I have come here to apologize to you."

No matter how angry Li Wan was, she didn't dare to accept the gift from Princess Nan'an, she could barely avoid the gift by turning sideways, Li Wan said coldly: "Princess, please sit down."

After Mrs. Li and Princess Nan'an returned to their seats, before Li Wan could speak, Princess Nan'an apologized again: "Daughter-in-law Zhu, I didn't think about everything, so please don't be angry anymore. Every time I see Lan'er, I think of my poor Hao'er, Lan'er looks so much like my Hao'er when I was a child!"

Having said that, Princess Nan'an seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and burst into mourning.Who can understand the torment in her heart, losing her husband and child, the days are so long, and the moonlight is so cold every night, she really wants to die like this, but she thinks that this family business is a Several generations of the Gu family sacrificed the lives of countless hot-blooded men in exchange for it, and she felt that she had the responsibility to guard them for them.

But!No one is there anymore, there is only an empty mansion and a meaningless name, even if she works hard to manage this family property, she will die one day, so what is the purpose of all the hard work?
The first thing Princess Nan'an wakes up every day is to think, should she continue to live today, or just understand her own life like this?In such a time of repeated entanglement, Princess Nan'an couldn't get up to live at all, until that year, she saw Jia Lan who looked very much like her son at Jia Mu's birthday banquet.

Seeing the little childish smiling face, Princess Nan'an felt extremely happy. She seemed to have returned to that time when Hao'er was still young, her husband was still there, and their family was happy and harmonious.At the banquet that day, in a corner where no one noticed, Princess Nan'an smiled for a long time.

Princess Nan'an cried for a long time, although Li Wan was angry, but she was also a mother, how could she bear to see her like this?If he moved to another place, he might not even have the courage to live.In this way, he sighed lightly, and couldn't help comforting him softly.

"Princess, don't cry, it hurts your body if you cry for a long time."

Princess Nan'an also knew that she had lost her composure, so she finally stopped her crying, but pulled Li Wan and said, "Zhu'er daughter-in-law, please be considerate of me, it's really boring to be alone in this world, I... want to recognize Lan'er as a Adoptive son, not for anything else, just to spend more time with him. Although I know that Lan'er is Lan'er, he is not my Hao'er, but every time I see Lan'er, I can't tell clearly The ground is warm, you are also a mother, you should be able to understand my mood, right?"

Seeing Princess Nan'an crying like this, Li Wan would be lying if she said she was not soft-hearted, but she also has her own principles.

"Princess, if you like Lan'er, you can come to Jia's house often, and you can even let Lan'er be your adopted son. But, you can't let Lan'er leave my biological mother, let alone let Lan'er's future child be named Gu. Not to mention that Lan'er is a descendant of the Jia family, and the blood of the Jia family is flowing on her body. It is absolutely impossible to deny her ancestors. It is the power and wealth obtained by your Gu family's loyalty. How can you allow people with foreign surnames to get involved? , it’s better not to get confused.”

After hearing Li Wan's words, Princess Nan'an's eyes lit up: "Zhu'er daughter-in-law, then... you agree to let Lan'er be my adopted son?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "Wangfei speaks so earnestly that she wants to show me her heart. Can't I forgive you? As long as Wangfei won't let me snatch her son, what does it matter if my Lan'er is hurt by one more person? It's just that Lan'er won't get involved in the title and money of the Gu family, for the sake of the blood of the Gu family, the princess should choose a suitable boy from the side branch of the same surname as her stepson."

In fact, Princess Nan'an's greed from beginning to end is just to get close to Jia Lan, who looks very similar to her own son.The Jia family and the Gu family have been related for several generations, and Jia Lan can be regarded as a distant relative of the Gu family, not a complete outsider, so it is not surprising that Hao'er looks like her.

But Jia Lan is Li Wan's son after all, since Li Wan is so unwilling, why should she bother, as long as there is a chance to get close to Jia Lan, wouldn't it be great?

Princess Nan'an smiled bitterly and said: "Since Hao'er died in the battle, the emperor has not asked the descendants of the Gu family to go to the battlefield. The men of the side branch have also married many concubines since then, and they have been single-minded. Ye. It's just that there hasn't been any suitable candidate, and there is no other way, anyway, I just have to wait."

Li Wan sighed and sighed, and ordered Suyun to redress the princess, and then ordered someone to call Jia Lan.

"Pearl's daughter-in-law, you?"

"It's his blessing that the concubine likes Lan'er. From now on, come and sit down when you're free. I'll ask Lan'er to recite ancient poems for you."
