Chapter 304: Resistance
Tao Xiushui wanted Ah San to stop and listen carefully, only to listen to the words of these people: "Do you know what happened in the palace that day? I heard that General Chu was going to ruin the marriage this morning, and I thought that she and Miss Xiao were so compatible, but I didn't think that I would let a fox spirit hook up, it's really a pity." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"It's not like that, these two people are so compatible, I didn't expect this to happen, that vixen is really damned"
"Yes, yes"
Everyone echoed, Tao Xiushui was angry when she heard it, and hurriedly asked Ah San to leave.
Although there were a lot of rumors about her before, she didn't care about it at that time, because it didn't hurt the people she cared about.
But now it's different, people will definitely bring Gongming Daru with them when they talk about her, and then she will really disgrace the master.
Tao Xiushui was a little depressed, blaming her for why she had to get sick that day, and let Chu Yi hug her back at that time.
But it can make this person who makes the rumors go through a lot of harm, and now things are beyond imagination and have become irreparable.
Could it really be as Chu Yi said, she can only marry him.
Later, when she thought about it, it was not right, after she got married, wouldn't anyone say that both of them had ulterior motives? No, it must be more serious than this statement.
Thinking of this: "Ah San, you can send someone to investigate carefully, who released this rumor?"
Ah San replied outside: "Miss Tao, the young master told you not to worry, he will find a way, and he is also investigating that person."
"Okay, I know, I'm just worried that these things will affect my master."
"No, don't worry, girl"
"I hope so!" Tao Xiushui sighed, I don't know what the master will do when he hears these words, and he won't doubt that he really accepted such an apprentice!
No, no, she has lived with Master for so long, she should believe in Master's.
Tao Xiushui settled down, she had to think about what to do about this matter?
After a short time, the carriage finally drove into the Xiao family's courtyard.
She hasn't been to this courtyard a few times, and it seems that she has been busy since she arrived in the capital.
Ah San knocked on the door and reported his name, thinking that it was the same as every time, and let him enter the house directly.
As a result, the porter unceremoniously said, "Please wait outside."
Tao Xiushui didn't need to get out of the car to know that the Xiao family's attitude towards herself was different now, maybe it was the intention of the master, otherwise no one would make the decision to her like this.
Could it be that something happened to Xiao Lan'er? Or is it because of the rumors outside, and the Xiao family has an opinion about her?
She felt that it was possible to think left and right, and her heart became more and more anxious, she wanted to meet Xiao Lan'er to see what happened?
After a short time, the porter opened the door again, "Miss Tao, come in!
Could it be that Mrs. Xiao wants to see her? Why? She obviously came to find Xiao Lan'er?
Tao Xiushui was puzzled, so she had to enter the house full of doubts.
The mother-in-law beside Mrs. Xiao was standing in the door, and when she saw Tao Xiu, she said calmly: "Miss Tao, my wife is waiting for you, please go with the old woman!"
Tao Xiushui was suddenly a little unhappy, anyway, she came to find Xiao Lan'er, what happened to this Mrs. Xiao seeing her privately?
He smiled and said, "Mama, Lan'er is not at home, if she is not there, I will come back another day."
The mother-in-law smiled mysteriously, "My young lady is at home, but my wife has something to say to the girl."
"Oh! No matter what Mrs. Xiao's purpose was, for Xiao Lan'er's sake, she couldn't refuse, so she had to follow to meet her.
The mother-in-law led Tao Xiushui into the second gate, and when she got to this side, Ah San couldn't follow her anymore.
When she left, she specially told Ah San not to worry, it was fine.
At most, Madame Xiao would say something to her, and she would not do anything else.
Ah San nodded his head, although he also felt so, but today's events still made him full of strangeness, and he had to nod when he heard Tao Xiushui's instructions, but he still stood at the intersection outside the second gate and waited.
Tao Xiushui followed her mother-in-law into Mrs. Xiao's yard, until she entered the house, and when the little maid brought the tea, she sat on the side and drank the tea at both ends before she saw Mrs. Xiao come out of it.
She didn't see this lady very much before, and when she and Xiao Lan'er stayed in the small courtyard before, she didn't see this lady come to take a look, and now she didn't even let her see Xiao Lan'er I don't know what it meant.
Mrs. Xiao looks much older than before, and her demeanor may be much more serious than before, and her appearance resembles Xiao An.
"Mrs. Xiao, you look for me"
Tao Xiushui greeted him first with the courtesy of the younger generation.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Tao Xiushui for a while before she said, "It's okay, I just want to talk to you, sit down!"
"Yes" Tao Xiushui also knew at this time that this lady's purpose when she saw her was not pure, otherwise she would not have taken Qiao in front of her like this.
She and Xiao Lan'er haven't seen each other for a long time, and Xiao An has seen them a few times when she first came to Beijing, and she hasn't seen her since, and she doesn't know what this mother wants to say when she comes to her.
"It's okay for Madame to have something to say to Xiushui"
Mrs. Xiao smiled, "Actually, I don't have anything else, it's just that there are some rumors outside during this time."
Tao Xiushui knew what he meant when he heard this, and said there: "Does that lady believe it or not!"
"I ...... Of course I don't believe it, it's not a short time since I've known the girl, but it's just ......"
Mrs. Xiao stopped halfway through speaking, took a sip of the tea in front of her.
"Madame has something to say, and Xiushui doesn't have to be polite"
"Well, then I'll say nothing, please understand my feelings as a mother."
……
Tao Xiushui came out of Mrs. Xiao's courtyard with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth.
Is she now a rat that everyone shouts at? I can't even see my friends.
Mrs. Xiao was afraid that she would affect Xiao Lan'er's reputation and told her that she wouldn't have to come over if she was fine, saying that Lan'er was very good, and she was about to say goodbye, and she didn't want to affect her reputation because of other things.
Tao Xiushui understood a mother's hard work, and didn't blame her, nodded and said "yes" and left.
Mrs. Xiao may also feel that her words are too much, and she will explain a few words when she is leaving, but Tao Xiushui did not listen.
It's just that when she walked to the door, she ran into Xiao An.
I haven't seen this person for a few months since I first met him in the capital.
Xiao An helped her a lot, and Tao Xiushui saluted "Xiao Gongzi" first
"Well, are you here to see Lan'er?" Xiao An was stunned when he saw the person in front of him at the beginning, and then immediately reflected it.
Tao Xiushui nodded, "Well, the folk girl still has something to do, so I will leave first."
She didn't want to expose Mrs. Xiao, after all, it was understandable for a mother to think about her children.
Xiao An was still wondering, and said there, "Didn't Lan'er come to see you off?" Every time Miss Tao came, Lan'er would reluctantly send her out of the gate, and she didn't turn back until the carriage was out of sight.
"Oh! I didn't let her send it, goodbye"
Tao Xiushui didn't want to say more, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Xiao Anxin was surprised, and wanted to say something more, but he didn't know how to say it, he was now busy opening the shop, so that he could gain a foothold in Beijing, and everything else was put aside.
He didn't see Miss Tao coming over for a long time, he walked out of the gate quickly, and saw Tao Xiushui who was about to get into the carriage and shouted, "Miss Tao, wait"
Tao Xiushui almost fled out of the door, and if she was a little faster, she would be able to take the car and leave, and she had to stop when she heard the shout, "Xiao Gongzi is still in trouble"
Xiao An rubbed his hands uncomfortably in the back and said: "I haven't seen Miss Tao come over for a long time, why don't you leave after eating, I happen to be fine today, I can send Miss Tao back later."
Tao Xiushui was chuckling, this first son still had to stay for dinner, I don't know what this mother who wants to know his mother will think if it is better to never get away from her, and said with a smile:
"No, Xiao Gongzi, I still have something, say goodbye"
Mrs. Xiao had just finished talking to her, how could she still have such a thick skin to go into someone's house to eat!
Xiao Anhu felt that Miss Tao was too cold, and she still had a sense of alienation compared to before, could it be that she quarreled with Lan'er?
He watched the carriage disappear into the distance, and then hurried into the house to find Xiao Lan'er.
Xiao Lan'er was holding a book at this time and was looking at it in a daze, looking at it from a distance, she was really reading a book, but when you get closer, you will find that no matter how long her book has been held, a page has not been turned.
Xiao An didn't look at his sister when he entered the house, so he said, "Lan'er, what's wrong with Miss Tao?"
Xiao Lan'er was awakened, "Brother, why are you here?"
"Let me ask you, why did Miss Tao leave when she came?"
Xiao An didn't listen to his sister as soon as he saw him, and said again: "Miss Tao is here, why didn't you leave her for a while?"
Xiao Lan'er understood what her brother said, threw the book away, sat up from the bed and said in surprise: "Brother, what did you say?"
Xiao An also realized that the situation was not quite right, and looked at his sister and said, "Miss Tao is here, I met her at the door just now"
Xiao Lan'er walked over with a brisk step, "Brother, did you say Xiushui is here?"
Xiao An nodded, "She did come, why? Didn't she come to see you?"
Xiao Lan'er glared at her brother in surprise and said, "Xiushui, she didn't come to me, why didn't she come to Xiao's house?"
Xiao An knew that there must be something wrong there, so he hurriedly asked the little guy next to him to ask what was going on at the door?
After a short time, the little girl came back and reported that "Miss Tao came to find Miss Lan'er, but somehow she was called by Mrs.
Xiao Lan'er looked at Xiao An'an and cooled down for a while, "Brother, what's going on, why didn't Xiushui come to me at home, but went to my mother?"
Xiao An turned his head to look at his sister and said, "It must be what my mother said to Miss Tao?"
"What did you say, what did you say? I'll go to my mother."
Xiao Lan'er was already an anxious person, and when she heard that something was happening, she wouldn't go, so she turned around and left. ‘
"Wait, Lan'er" Xiao An stopped his sister and said, "I haven't figured out the ins and outs of the matter yet, what do you say when you go to your mother, if your mother thinks that this is instigated by Miss Tao, it won't be counterproductive."
"So what do you say?" Xiao Lan'er was in a hurry and didn't know what to do.
"Go find the mother-in-law next to her mother and ask before talking" Xiao An had a bad premonition, it must have been because her mother said something unpleasant, so Miss Tao left without even seeing Lan'er.
It didn't take long, and when the brother and sister got the news, they were a little sad in their hearts, and they couldn't imagine that their mother actually said these words to Miss Tao, no wonder she didn't even stop, and went straight to the car.
Xiao Lan'er's tears rolled in her eyes, and she said: "Brother, why did you say that my mother is like this, what does our matter have to do with Xiushui, I actually talked to her like this, and I didn't let her see me, you said that I would be so embarrassed to meet Xiushui in the future"
Xiao Anxin was angry, he didn't know what to say, only a thick disappointment echoed in his body and mind.
Miss Tao is kind to the Xiao family, how can her mother talk like this, so what should he say when he sees Miss Tao in the future.
Xiao Lan'er was angry and sad there, "Brother, what do you say is wrong with your mother, why did she change when she came to the capital!
Xiao An didn't reply no matter what his sister said, he was the eldest son of the Xiao family, and there was no father in the family, so he should take on the heavy responsibility, as the head of the family, how could he say that his mother was not, in that way:
"There may be a reason for it, I'll ask my mother in person another day."
The more Xiao Lan'er thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out, and suddenly stood up and said, "No, I'm going to ask my mother now why she did this to Xiushui, and Xiushui didn't offend her."
After she finished speaking, she left, not even listening to Xiao An's shouts.
When she arrived at Mrs. Xiao, she saw that Mrs. Xiao was showing off a handkerchief.
Xiao Lan'er has been pampered since she was a child, and she usually discusses anything with her mother, so she is not polite when she enters the layer, and says directly:
"Mother, why didn't you inform me when Xiushui came?"
Mrs. Xiao let go of the needle in her hand and said, "It was Miss Xiao who told you."
"No, it was my brother who met Miss Xiao at the door"
"That's what Miss Xiao said to your brother?" Mrs. Xiao asked again.
Xiao Lan'er said impatiently: "It's not, it's just ......"
"Just what?" Mrs. Xiao suddenly became very stern.
Xiao Lan'er straightened her back, took a deep breath and continued:
"It's just that Xiushui helped us before, it's not good to do this, besides, she's my friend, how can you talk to her like this"
She felt that her mother was not doing something right, so she said whatever she wanted.
Mrs. Xiao was annoyed when she heard this, and patted the table next to her and said:
"Is this the attitude you have when you talk to your mother? I just said what's wrong with Miss Tao, you must have listened to the comments about her from outside for so many days, and no one can say that her style is not good?"
Xiao Lan'er was also anxious, "Mother, Xiushui is not that kind of person, there must be some people who are jealous and chew their tongues outside, so she won't do that!"
Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she pointed at her daughter's head, "Can you use your brain, you should understand the truth that there is no wind and no waves, and you are not allowed to have any more dealings with her in the future, such a person is not worthy of being your friend"
Xiao Lan'er seemed to suddenly not know her mother, and it took a long time before she said: "Mother, how can you say this, have you forgotten that Xiushui helped us in Baicheng? I will not deny this friend, Tao Xiushui will always be my friend, you can't interfere with my personal freedom."
She was in a hurry, and after saying this, she ran first.
