Mama Du took the order and left, preparing to go straight to Bai Shizu's study to invite someone, if it was late, I was afraid that he would go to Tangli Garden again, so there would be no chance.

Every afternoon, Bai Shizu will definitely deal with some official business in the study, or read books, under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to disturb, so when Mama Du came, the housekeeper Luo who was guarding the door stopped her, and smiled and refused Mama Du's idea of disturbing Bai Shizu.

Mama Du frowned, put on an unhappy expression and said, "Steward Luo, Madame has something important to see Grandpa, don't delay me!"

"Mama, Grandpa has explained, there is something important to deal with today, no one is allowed to disturb, you better wait and talk about it first!" Steward Luo has always been a person trusted by Bai Shizu, so he doesn't eat the Lu family, he is only loyal to Bai Shizu.

Although Mama Du was angry, she didn't dare to really disobey Bai Shizu's intentions, otherwise she would anger him, and she was afraid that she would ruin the Lu family's plan, so she endured it and said flatteringly: "Trouble Steward Luo to go in and spread the word to see if it is convenient for the grandfather to go to Ning Xiangyuan!"

Seeing that her attitude was a little better, Steward Luo nodded and said, "Then you wait here, I'll ask my grandfather!"

Mama Du naturally didn't dare to trespass, so she could only guard outside, and after a while, she didn't wait for Steward Luo, but saw Mu Xinping coming over with the maid tourmaline beside the old lady carrying a food box.

When Mu Xinping saw Mama Du, she nodded, and greeted her with a smile: "I didn't expect Mama Du to be there, my aunt made some snacks, and I came to give them to my grandfather to taste!"

Mama Du never expected Mu Xinping to come to the study, and looking at her appearance, it seems that it is not the first time she has come, and she is familiar with it, as if she is already a woman of Bai Shizu.

Mama Du didn't show up in the interview, but she was already unhappy in her heart, but she didn't expect that this Miss Cousin, who seemed to be knowledgeable, was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she smiled and stabbed: "It's really annoying girl, after all, these are things that people should do, how can the old lady let Miss Cousin do such a thing? Why don't you just hand it over to the slave maid and let the slave and maid send it in?"

Mu Xinping listened to her meaning, and mocked herself as a slave who served people, and her heart suddenly became uncomfortable, biting her lower lip, and said aggrievedly: "I am just an orphan girl who came to Ningguo Mansion to defect, although my aunt feels sorry for me, but I can't just be too high, it is my blessing to be able to do something for my aunt, grandma said such things, doesn't it make me feel ashamed?"

Seeing that Mu Xinping was humiliated, Tourmaline naturally couldn't help but help, so she said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Mama is too big, when will it be your turn to put your beak in the matter of the old lady?"

Mama Du's face was blue and white when she was said by tourmaline, but she didn't dare to refute, tourmaline was silent on weekdays, but she was an idea, and she had the trust of the old lady, and even the purple jade was not as good as her. Then he said curtly: "Don't dare, I just think that Miss Mu is a guest after all, how can you let the guest come to serve the grandfather, say it, people treat Miss Mu harshly as our family!"

Tourmaline sneered and said, "This is not bothering Mama, since the girl has come to the house, she is her own family, and she is not a guest! She is sympathetic to the old lady and the grandfather, but it is just a gesture, how can you say that the old lady treats the girl harshly?"

"Mama is serious, this really makes me embarrassed, I am willing to share the worries of my aunt and cousin, how can this little thing be regarded as harsh on me?" Mu Xinping also echoed in a timely manner.

Mama Du listened to her singing and harmonizing, so she put out the intention of arguing, and only hoped that Steward Luo could come out soon, so that she could invite her grandfather to Ningxiangyuan to see how they could send snacks!

It happened that Steward Luo came out, saw Mu Xinping first, and said with a smile: "Miss Biao is here, but is there something?"

"It's not a big deal, my aunt asked me to bring some snacks to my cousin, I'm afraid that he will be hungry in the afternoon to deal with official business!" Mu Xinping smiled at Steward Luo, her voice was soft, and the people who listened to it were comfortable.

Steward Luo has always known how to observe words and feelings, and this Mu Xinping is not the first time to come back to the study, looking at the attitude of the grandfather, he knows that he is interested in this cousin, so naturally he will not do such things that make the master unhappy, so he said: "It's just right, the master just said that he was a little hungry, Miss Cousin should send it in quickly!"

Mu Xinping smiled gratefully at Steward Luo, and was about to go in, when Mama Du saw this, she hurriedly asked, "Steward Luo, can you tell Grandpa?"

Seeing Mama Du's appearance, Steward Luo restrained the smile on her face, and said lukewarmly: "Mama Du go back, the master is busy, saying that he will visit Madame when the matter is dealt with, so that Madame can recuperate!"

Mama Du was annoyed by Steward Luo's different attitudes, Steward Luo's attitude naturally represented Bai Shizu's attitude, it seems that the grandfather is really annoyed with Madame, so he will avoid it, she can't break in, she can only hurry back and let the Lu family think of a way.

Mu Xinping saw Mama Du hurrying away, the corners of her mouth showed a slight smug smile, wanting to stop herself from approaching her cousin, and she didn't see if she had that ability, but fortunately, Bai Mujian reminded her today, so she came to the study before her cousin was invited away by Mama Du.

However, from this, she also knew that Bai Mu Hibiscus was exquisite, but as long as she was on her side, it would be beneficial and harmless, anyway, there was no conflict between herself and Bai Mu Hibiscus, and it was the Lu family that they had to fight together.

Mu Xinping entered the study, first saluted Bai Shizu obediently, and smiled softly: "Cousin, you should be hungry, the old lady asked me to bring you snacks, you can taste it!"

As soon as Bai Shizu saw Mu Xinping, he smiled, got up and took the food box in her hand, and said with a smile: "There is Cousin Lao, I am hungry, you are here, it is really like timely rain!"

Mu Xinping lowered her head, slightly ashamed, Bai Shizu looked at her with burning eyes, so that she couldn't help but feel like a deer, I have to say that Bai Shizu is a beautiful man.

Bai Shizu saw her shy and timid, his heart was hot, and he hated to have to take her into his arms regardless of etiquette, but because the tourmaline was still on the side, and he was afraid that he would surprise the beauty, he endured this impulse, opened the food box, and ate a piece of almond crisp to divert his attention.

Mu Xinping saw that he was happy to eat, so she didn't bother, and looked at the furnishings in the study by herself, the paintings hanging on the wall attracted her attention, and she went over to admire it with great interest.

Seeing this, Bai Shizu asked, "My cousin also likes to paint?"

"Well, when I was at home in the past, my father also loved to collect paintings, but it was not as precious as my cousin's here, the artistic conception of this painting is so beautiful, it can be said that there are poems in the paintings, there are paintings in the poems, rare masterpieces!" Mu Xinping praised from the bottom of her heart.

When Bai Shizu heard this, the brilliance in his eyes was even greater, and he said in his heart that this cousin is really a beautiful woman who is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she has the same interests as herself, and it is really rare to know how to paint like this.

"If my cousin likes it, I'll give you a few paintings another day?" Bai Shizu's gentle voice could almost squeeze out water.

Mu Xinping turned around, looked at him with a smile, shook her head and said: "Thank you cousin for your kindness, but such a good painting must be worth a lot of money, how can I accept it casually, if my cousin is willing, let me appreciate one or two, Xinping is already satisfied!"

When Bai Shizu heard this, he felt that Mu Xinping was not greedy for vanity, and her character was noble, and his love for her went deeper into that heart from her appearance.

"Okay, I have a lot of paintings here, if you want, come and see it when you have time, and you can look at it for as long as you want!" Bai Shizu looked at her and said stupidly.

Mu Xinping's face flushed when she saw this, and she couldn't help lowering her head, but she looked up at him with nostalgia, this time her little daughter's delicate state was vividly displayed, making Bai Shizu almost unable to help herself.

He raised his eyes to look at the tourmaline, and saw that she was standing on the side with her eyes and nose, and did not pay attention to it, and knew that Old Madam Bai did not object to her and Mu Xinping's matter, so she couldn't help but walk over and hold Mu Xinping's little hand.

Mu Xinping nervously retreated, looked at the tourmaline, and whispered: "Cousin......"

This kind of attitude of wanting to refuse and welcome made Bai Shizu itch for a while, at this time he really wanted to exchange everything for the heart of the beauty, he secretly made a decision, tonight to ask An to mention Mu Xinping's matter to his mother, although he can't marry her as a wife, but he can also give her the name of a side room, if he can give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, he will be promoted to a flat wife and will not wronged her.

Just thinking like this, I heard a commotion outside the door, and Lu's voice came in, with full arrogance: "Steward Luo, who gave you the courage to dare to block Mrs. Ben's way?"

Steward Luo seemed to be very embarrassed, and explained: "The master has explained, no one is allowed to disturb, Madame should wait first, and wait for the slave to pass it on!"

"Hmph, when did I go to see my grandfather, do I still need someone to pass it on? When did this rule? I heard that someone was coming, so my grandfather invited me in directly, isn't it that I am not even as an outsider?"

Steward Luo knew that Bai Shizu was talking to Mu Xinping now, if he was bumped into by his wife, he would naturally not have good fruit to eat, and it would also make Bai Shizu annoy him, so he refused to let the Lu family in, so he said: "Madam, you will spare the slave, and you must not break in, otherwise the grandfather will blame him, and the slave will not be able to eat and walk around!"

Where was the Lu clan willing to listen to him, and said angrily: "Isn't there something unsightly in it?

Steward Luo saw that her speech was becoming more and more difficult to sound, and he was also panicked, he didn't know how to explain it, Bai Shizu's heart he knew best, if he let the Lu family see him and Mu Xinping together at this time, he would definitely be jealous and make a fuss.

But before the Lu clan could break in, the door opened from the inside, and Bai Shizu looked at the Lu clan with a displeased expression and said, "What kind of body is it that you are shouting outside?"
