Chapter 21: Who Wins?

"Hey, this woman is really heavy, it's been a few days, and the bruise hasn't completely dissipated." In the Stargazing Pavilion, Lin Xiaoyou tilted his head sideways in the mirror, complaining dissatisfiedly about the remaining marks on his neck.

Lan Yu looked at the person in the mirror behind him, and said dotingly: "Miss, you apply a hot compress on time every day, and rub the medicine sent by the prince, but now you can't see it at all if you don't pay attention to it, it's already very good to have this effect, what are you not satisfied with." ”

Sitting on the stool and turning around, he watched Lan Yu slyly hum and laugh twice and returned to his original state, "Of course I'm not satisfied, it hurts to eat, it hurts to breathe, and it hurts even more to move my neck, which always reminds me of what they did and my mother." Sister Lan, what do you think I should do? Lin Xiaoyou had a meaningful expression, and asked with something in his words.

"Well, it's a bit tricky, so what should I do, miss?" After Lan Yu nodded as if she didn't understand, she asked her very innocently.

Lin Xiaoyou sighed faintly, knowing that this was the result. These days, no matter how she asks Lan Yu about her mother's affairs, she always avoids it very lightly. If she continues like this, she will need the Year of the Monkey to understand her mother's past, to understand the revenge of the past, and to find her senior brother and master.

As each side is today, they don't know where they are doing something. Compared with now, it is still the previous life that is more suitable for her, thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyou unconsciously smiled on his face. Before this, she had always felt that she was lucky, even though she did not have the care of her parents, but she had the protection of her master and brother. Maybe it was because I had used up all the luck in my life before, so now I was forced to separate from them and return to that home to experience all the unbearable things of this qiē.

Whether this is what she wants or not, it has already happened, then all she can do is face it and fight back. Right now, if you can't get out of the blue rain, the dark will come to the light.

"Sister Lan, I"

"Miss, I see that your hand should also be changed, you wait, I'll go see if you have the love medicine." As if seeing through her thoughts, Lan Yu opened her mouth at the right time to change the topic. turned around and went out, leaving Lin Xiaoyou sitting in the room helplessly.

Looking at Lan Yu's stiff attitude, he didn't eat soft and hard, and he didn't eat oil and salt. Lin Xiaoyou has a headache, I really don't understand why she is like this? What the hell are you hiding? She is her mother's personal maid, and her relationship is so good. Now that she wants to help her mother avenge, she should be happy to help herself, why did she deliberately hide the truth.

Just as she was thinking, a commotion outside cut through the peace and disturbed her thoughts.

At the door of the courtyard, Su Zixin took Xie Yunsha and Ye Mengfei to visit, but was blocked by Lan Yu, who happened to go out.

Looking at the menacing man, Lan Yu frowned slightly, worried that her young lady would suffer, and after saluting, she asked hesitantly: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Get out of here, and don't look at your identity, we can't report to you what we do." Su Zixin's face sank, and she reprimanded sharply.

"Of course the slave knows her identity, but this is the Stargazing Pavilion, and without the permission of the princess, no related person is allowed to trespass." Lan Yu leaned over and replied without being humble or arrogant.

"Presumptuous, you are just a lowly girl, and you dare to contradict us like this. Lian Qi, open your mouth for me, and train this who doesn't know how to be polite and has no one in her eyes. Lan Yu's words angered Su Zixin. It has only been long since the main master entered the door, and these subordinate girls began to despise her, how could there be a place for her in this palace in the future.

"Hmph, this princess's sister doesn't know how to discipline her subordinates, she doesn't distinguish between respect and inferiority, so she can only ask for her own hardship." Ye Mengfei deliberately whispered sarcastically.

Xiangqing, who was not far away, came over with the medicine and white cloth for Lin Xiaoyu to change, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly trotted over, and stopped Lian Qi's hand before it was about to go down: "Slow"

"Oh, isn't this fragrant, what, do you want to stop us from going in?" Xie Yunsha saw the person coming and asked in an unkind tone.

Xiangqing saluted and said: "Xiangqing doesn't dare, but I don't know what mistake Sister Lan has made, which upset the ladies and wants to punish her?" ”

"Hmph, we kindly wanted to go to the princess to say goodbye, but she was rudely stopped at the door, do you think we should be punished?" Su Zixin asked rhetorically.

"Indeed, it should be punished!" Before Xiangqing could answer, a voice spoke. Everyone followed the reputation, but they didn't know when Lin Xiaoyu was standing in the middle of the courtyard, looking at them expressionlessly. Then he walked over and said, "It's just that this rule is set by this princess, and if you neglect your sisters, you should be punished from me!" As he spoke, he gave Lan Yu a comforting look.

Seeing her coming, the three of them were startled, put away their arrogance just now, and bowed down. Su Zixin said with a smile: "Sister, where is this, I heard that my sister is sick, so our sisters made an appointment to come to visit, please forgive me for the disturbance." The seemingly humble and polite words were secretly sarcastic because she didn't know what to do.

Lin Xiaoyou snorted coldly and didn't care, as the so-called "Nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, she wants to see what tricks they can play" "Thank you, sisters, my sister is really ashamed." The cold tone of the response was silent, and a few people were left to dry, and they were not allowed to sit in, and the three of Su Zixin were embarrassed for a while, neither standing nor walking.

"Well, why don't you see the princess's sister walking around more on weekdays, but I'm afraid that we will steal the prince's favor by touching your light?" Xie Yunsha half-jokingly and half-seriously opened his mouth to break the deadlock, without hiding the sourness and jealousy in his words, and after speaking, he elegantly picked up the handkerchief and lowered his head to cover his mouth and chuckled.

What are these words, Lin Xiaoyou was a little speechless and funny, looking at the three bewitching beauties with heavy makeup in front of him, they wanted to have a figure and a good look, and they really deserved to be the people carefully selected by the Queen Mother. No matter which of them robbed Xiahou Yichen's favor, it was something they couldn't ask for, but now they don't know how to eat her vinegar here, and it's hard not to laugh.

"My sister laughed, even if the prince spoils my sisters, it should be. Why would my sister worry about this? If that's the case, even if you don't blame it, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother won't let me go lightly! As he spoke, his gaze swept over the three of them, and he unexpectedly caught a little smugness in their eyes. Lin Xiaoyou pretended not to know, she would not be stupid enough to be jealous of Xiahou Yichen's women, which would affect her business, as long as they were not too excessive, they would deal with things with a blind eye.

Hmph, you are interested, Su Zixin thought, and said with a satisfied smile: "Actually, we came today to tell my sister something, and at the same time, we are here to ask for sin." ”

"Why?" Lin Xiaoyu asked.

"Even before my sister entered the door, the affairs inside and outside the palace were all taken care of by me and the housekeeper Uncle Zhang, and it was supposed to be handed back to you immediately after you and the prince got married, but because you were busy with affairs when you got married, there was no time to tidy up until today, and there were a lot of gossips in the house. Now that I have returned all the ledgers and keys of my income and expenses to the account office, I will work hard for you to manage it in the future. Su Zixin tried her best to suppress the unhappiness in her heart and explained the truth in a calm tone.

Even if there is too much unwillingness in my heart, due to the current situation, I clearly realize that my identity and status will not be able to get any benefit if I am entangled, and I will only make myself a laughing stock for others. Instead of this, it is better to take the initiative to hand over the rights in her hands, and it also shows that she is generally sensible, and the prince will not dislike her because of this. In short, she will have to take it back sooner or later, so there is no need to rush at this time.

Ye Mengfei and Xie Yunsha looked at each other and secretly smiled, their identities were different from Su Zixin, they were often ridiculed by her, and they suffered a lot. Looking at her like this now, the two of them are somewhat gloating.

Lin Xiaoyou listened quietly, taking in the expressions of the three of them with different thoughts. During this time, she was bent on planning her own affairs, and thus neglected the affairs of the palace. With her current status, it's no wonder that some harsh gossip will be provoked.

It seems that what Xiangqing said to herself before was not wrong at all, and there are really many people who are worried about her position as a princess. Not to mention the other unknowns, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the three in front of you, if it is not handled properly, it is a big hidden danger, how can you do other things with peace of mind?

"My sister is shrewd and capable and takes care of both inside and outside the palace in an orderly manner, and my sister is only shallow and can take on important responsibilities, I think it is better to leave those things to my sister to continue to take care of, are you willing?"

"What?" After hearing this, the three of them all exclaimed in unison, looking at Lin Xiaoyou incredulously.

Lan Yu and Xiangqing are anxious on the side, the status and real power of the princess are what many people dream of, who would be stupid enough to only hang a false name there, but give up the real power to others.

"Princess, what are you talking about? Are you sick and confused, or the slave will help you go back to rest. Xiang Qing said incoherently dissuasion.

"Miss, you have to think clearly."

Lin Xiaoyou waved his hand at the two people who didn't know why, knowing their worries very well. It may seem ridiculous, but it's not a good thing for her. After all, she and Xiahou Yichen are only in a cooperative relationship, to put it bluntly, they are sent under the fence, not to mention that these things will bring a lot of trouble, and they can't do their own things wholeheartedly. Of course, I also have a little selfishness, and I don't want to have too much to do with Xiahou Yichen when I leave in the future. It's just that it's inconvenient to tell them about the twists and turns.

"What else do you need to think about this, wouldn't it be nice to be a princess of leisure? I don't know what the sisters think? ”

Not long after I was happy, when I heard that Lin Xiaoyou was going to transfer the real power to Su Zixin, Ye Mengfei and Xie Yunsha were willing to obey, and hurriedly stopped: "Of course not, during this time, it was because my sister did not take over the affairs of the mansion, and the people talked behind their backs, saying everything." ”

"That's it, Sister Princess doesn't want Sister Zixin to be poked in her backbone and scolded her for being noisy after she does her best to take care of the palace!" Immediately following Ye Mengfei's words, Xie Yunsha echoed and said.

Lin Xiaoyou looked at it with interest, and sure enough, none of them were fuel-efficient lamps, and they were quite good at justifying. "It's okay, I think my sister shouldn't mind so much for the sake of the overall situation!"

Su Zixin listened, first glanced at the two of them a few times in a haze, and then smiled proudly: "Since it is my sister's order, then my sister is better to obey her fate than to be respectful, and she should do her best and live up to her trust." It's just," he said, lowering his head and pausing as if embarrassed.

"Just what?"

"It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that the prince's side will not be easy to explain, and the people in the house will definitely not obey me." raised his eyes to look at Lin Xiaoyou, and said what he thought in his heart worriedly.

Lin Xiaoyou snorted, he really hit the snake and went down the pole, and when the benefits were exhausted, he kicked his nose and face. He actually wanted to use himself to help her clear the obstacles on the road and strengthen her position. In this way, even if she falls out in the future, she has enough excuses and reasons to prevaricate herself.

"Don't worry, I will talk about it on the side of the prince and Uncle Zhang, as for whether others obey you or not, it's up to my sister to be my own."

Su Zixin was smiling like a flower at the moment, very proud. Originally, when I came, I was in a bad mood, but in a blink of an eye, this real power fell into my hands steadily, which can be described as an unexpected gain. As long as she goes to the prince's place, she won't pay attention to other people.

In addition to being happy, he bowed respectfully and replied: "Yes"

"Okay, if it's okay, let's all step down!"

"Then my sister won't disturb my sister's rest." Su Zixin said with a smile, saluted again, glanced at the two people next to her with her head held high, and left alone.

Ye Mengfei and Xie Yunsha looked at each other, their angry faces were like ashes, and they had no choice but to lower their identities, so they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

Lin Xiaoyou was a little clear, "The two sisters don't have to be like this, it's better for you to supervise Sister Zixin in the future, if she doesn't do well, you can come and sue me, how about it?" ”

"Is that okay?" Lin Xiaoyou's words gave them some hope, at least they wouldn't be bullied by Su Zixin at will.

"Of course."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their faces finally got better, and they bowed and left.

Seeing them leave, Lin Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to face the two bitter gourd faces. Shaking his head helplessly, "It's time to change the dressing for my hand." ”

"Miss, you are really smart, use them to contain each other." Although Lan Yu didn't know Lin Xiaoyu's intentions, he also saw some fame in the end, and after praising him casually, he sighed: "Hey, after one thing, I have grown wise, and I have indeed grown up." ”

Xiang Xiang looked at Lin Xiaoyu for some reason, and then at Lan Yu, and said in frustration: "I only know that I will have a sad life in the future." ”

Seeing that they were all worried about themselves, Lin Xiaoyou was very moved and comforted: "Don't worry, who is the winner, we'll see." ”
