The next day, it was the day of the fifteenth day to greet Shu's mother, Ning Xi deliberately got up early and went to Shu's mother with Shu Heng for dinner.

When he got there, he didn't see Ouyang Ling, and Ning Xi was very satisfied.

Shu Mu saw that the expressions of the two did not change much, and after waiting for a long time and not seeing Ouyang Ling coming, Shu Mu frowned and asked people to take a look, and then called Ning Xi and Shu Heng to sit down and the three of them had breakfast first.

Could it be that when Ouyang Ling was not there, Ning Xi happily drank the millet porridge and tasted it, well, it felt much better than the porridge used here before, Shu Heng looked at Ning Xi with a look like a cat who had stolen the fish, smiled, and put a silver silk roll in Ning Xi's bowl.

Ning Xi raised her head and thought about it, and also gave Shu Heng a chopsticks and vinegared shredded potatoes, Shu Heng raised his eyebrows, it seems that the little girl is really in a good mood today, I haven't seen her eat for herself before.

Shu Mu watched quietly from the side, a smile flashed in her eyes.

Before the three of them had eaten a few bites, the maid next to Shu's mother hurriedly ran back.

"Old lady, it's not good! Miss Cousin her, she killed herself! ”

Hearing this, the three of them had no appetite at all, and looked at the maid together.

Ning Xi frowned, Ouyang Ling would kill herself? No matter how you think about it, it feels impossible.

"What did you say happened to Miss Table?" Shu Mu's tone was already tinged with urgency.

The maid also seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "When the slave maid passed, she met Miss Biao who wanted to commit suicide, but was rescued by the people around her, and she is still lying on the bed at this time." ”

Ning Xi laughed secretly, it was really a coincidence.

Shu's mother didn't need to eat at the moment, she got up and walked out, Ning Xi also got up and planned to go over to take a look, although she didn't like Ouyang Ling, but what did she say about this Zhongyi Hou Mansion now is also in charge of the house, if this kind of thing happened in the mansion, she had to go and see it on the bright side.

Shu Heng originally planned to go over, but was stopped by Ning Xi.

"What, are you caring about Ouyang Ling?" Don't tell her that Ouyang Ling had an accident, Shu Heng realized that he cared more about his cousin than he imagined.

Shu Heng knew that Ning Xi wanted to be crooked again, and poked her head: "You little vinegar jar, aren't I afraid that Ouyang Ling will stumble on you at my mother's place." Otherwise, he wouldn't bother to care about Ouyang Ling.

Ning Xi shrugged her nose, this is about the same, but Ouyang Ling still can't stump her: "It's not too early, you go to the court, Ouyang Ling can handle it alone." ”

Shu Heng raised his eyebrows: "Sure." ”

Ning Xi glanced at him, of course, how could she say that she was also a dignified county lord, and she would be afraid of Ouyang Ling.

Shu Heng shook his head, since the little girl wants to solve it by herself, then he won't interfere, anyway, he will support her in the end.

After sending Shu Heng away, Ning Xi went to Ouyang Ling's yard, and as soon as she entered the house, she heard Ouyang Ling crying and complaining to Shu's mother, from the loss of her father and mother since she was a child to the time she ate a sour orange yesterday, Ning Xi was stunned for a while, and Shu's mother was good-tempered and listened patiently, if it was her, she would have turned her face a long time ago.

This Miss Ouyang also takes herself too seriously, the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion doesn't treat you badly for you to eat and drink, you are still wronged, since you don't want to send someone under the fence, you can go out and set up your own door, or marry yourself early, lest she see Ouyang Ling all day long.

Ouyang Ling talked for half an hour, and finally stopped, Ning Xi estimated that she was tired.

Seeing that Ouyang Ling had stopped crying, Shu's mother hurriedly asked someone to bring water up and feed her.

"Good and dignified, what are you thinking, the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is your home, you stay here because you are my niece, who dares to chew the root of your tongue." Shu Mu patted Ouyang Ling's back and comforted her.

Hearing this, Ouyang Ling's eyes flashed again: "However, my cousin-in-law doesn't seem to like Ling'er, yesterday, Ling'er was accidentally looked at by His Royal Highness King Zhou, and wanted to draw me, my cousin-in-law not only did not protect my reputation, but also asked me to stand there and not move, and let me leave after King Zhou finished painting, although Ling'er is just an orphan girl, but it is also an innocent girl's family, even if my cousin-in-law doesn't like me anymore, she shouldn't insult me so much, how can I live." ”

Ning Xi raised his eyebrows, yes, finally got to the point.

When Shu Mu heard this, her eyes flashed, and she asked, "But really?" ”

What Ouyang Ling said is also a fact, but if one thing is put in a different way, the nature is completely different.

Ning Xi also restrained his expression, and said seriously: "Yesterday, Miss Biao wore a thin shirt and stood in the pavilion, it happened that King Zhou was obsessed with painting ladies recently, and accidentally saw Miss Biao and came to the inspiration to draw Miss Biao, and when I learned about this incident, King Zhou had already painted half of it, and I didn't know what scenery Miss Biao looked at so fascinated, and I didn't find anyone behind me for so long, I thought that Miss Biao was dressed so beautifully, maybe it was deliberate"

In the latter words, Ning Xi did not say it, but had a deeper meaning. Ouyang Ling naturally heard it, and said hurriedly: "Ning Xi, you are spewing blood!" ”

Ning Xi raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Oh, it turned out that I misunderstood Miss Biao's purpose." After speaking, Ning Xi also made a look of annoyance, "Alas, I thought that Miss Biao was interested in King Zhou and wanted to help, but I didn't expect that she did something bad with good intentions." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Ouyang Ling was really anxious this time, although she went there for a purpose, but it was also for Shu Heng, that King of Zhou, she didn't know at all, seeing Ning Xi splashing dirty water on her, she couldn't explain it, at this moment, Ouyang Ling only felt extremely aggrieved.

"Auntie, don't believe her, I really don't know that the person standing behind me is King Zhou."

"And who do you think it is?" Ning Xicai didn't want to let Ouyang Ling go, and then asked.

Ouyang Ling bit her lip, how could she say that she thought it was Shu Heng, her aunt paid the most attention to a woman's morality, if she knew that she coveted her married cousin, maybe her last support in this mansion would be gone, let alone marrying Shu Heng.

Shu Mu frowned: "Okay, don't fight, this matter will end here, Ning Xi, you go back first." ”

Ning Xi chuckled lightly and responded.

After Ning Xi left, Ouyang Ling pulled Shu's mother's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Auntie, Ling'er really doesn't have such a dirty heart, it is Ning Xi who is slandering me." ”

Shu's mother patted Ouyang Ling's hand: "I know that the two of you are not in harmony, and my aunt does not ask you to forgive each other, you will avoid her in the future, and you will not do what you are doing today, my aunt is old and can't stand your toss." ”

"Auntie, it's obviously her fault, no matter what I say, it's also your niece, even if it's for your sake, she should treat Ling'er better, but she is so ruthless with Ling'er, she just doesn't take you in her eyes at all."

Shu's mother's eyes became stern, and she pulled out her sleeve: "What does she say, she is also the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyi, the county lord of the emperor's own title, I don't want to hear this a second time, if you don't know how to restrain in the future, your aunt can only find someone for you to marry." ”

When Ouyang Ling heard this, she didn't dare to make any more trouble, but she hated Ning Xi more and more in her heart, why did everyone talk to her, even her aunt helped her, just because she was the county lord!

Seeing that Ouyang Ling was quiet, Shu's mother softened her expression and comforted her lightly.

After walking out of Ouyang Ling's courtyard, Ning Xi asked Shu Qing beside him: "The old lady really spoils Ouyang Ling?" ”

Shu Qing nodded: "Miss Biao grew up under the old lady's knees, and the old lady treats her like her own daughter, and their relationship is extremely deep. ”

Ning Xi frowned, is that so? She hadn't noticed it before, but today's matter, she felt strange, if it was really as Shu Qing said, the old lady treated Ouyang Ling like her own daughter, then she should be even more annoyed when she heard her explanation today, after all, that was clearly pouring dirty water on Ouyang Ling, which mother allowed her daughter to be treated like this, but the old lady not only didn't get angry, but also let herself go lightly, more like acquiescing to her words, didn't the old lady mind Ouyang Ling's derong was damaged at all, this is really weird. Ning Xi tilted his head, but in this way, it would be easier to deal with Ouyang Ling.

In the evening, Shu Heng finished his court affairs and hurried back to the house, for fear that Ning Xi would suffer a secret loss at Ouyang Ling's hands, but he didn't want to meet Ouyang Ling at the second gate.

Seeing Shu Heng, Ouyang Ling's eyes lit up and greeted him, Shu Heng frowned, but he didn't see it and walked around. Seeing this, Ouyang Ling felt more and more aggrieved.

"My cousin will avoid me when he sees me now, am I so annoying in my cousin's heart? Today, I was forced by my cousin to look for a short time, and my cousin didn't even come to see me, does my cousin really care about me at all? After speaking, Ouyang Ling's tears flowed, this time she was really sad.

Shu Heng heard Ouyang Ling slandering Ning Xi, his steps paused, and after thinking about it, he finally decided not to deal with Ouyang Ling, lest Ning Xi know about it and be angry with him.

Seeing that Shu Heng's footsteps paused for a moment, Ouyang Ling made persistent efforts and said: "I came to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion when I was less than two years old, and we have been staying together since then, for more than ten years, I have long recognized you as my only one, but what about you, cousin?" Doesn't I have a little weight in my cousin's heart, is it true that the relationship between us over the years has been fake, is this qiē all my thoughts? ”

Shu Heng frowned, turned around, and seeing this, Ouyang Ling was overjoyed, but heard Shu Heng say coldly: "You really think too much." Then he ignored Ouyang Ling's dejected appearance, and turned around and left without any hesitation.

Back in Evergreen Hall, Shu Heng saw Ning Xi looking at him with a smile, and Shu Heng's heart suddenly burst: "What do you want to ask?" ”

"Childhood sweetheart? More than a decade of affection? Sole? Ning Xi said angrily.

"You hear me." Shu Heng chuckled.

"Shu Qing sued me." Ning Xi betrayed his allies without care.

Shu Heng glanced at Shu Qing lightly, Shu Qing shrank her body, trying to reduce her sense of storage, she didn't eavesdrop on purpose, it was Ning Xi who told her to go to the second gate to pick up Shu Heng, accidentally bumped into it, Shu Qing wailed in her heart, why was she so unlucky!

"Don't listen to Ouyang Ling's nonsense, although she grew up beside my mother since she was a child, but I went to official school at the age of four, and the time to meet her is only during dinner, after the age of ten, I moved to the front yard to live, and there are fewer opportunities to meet her." Shu Heng explained.

"That's it, people think you're the only one, and my husband is really charming." Ning Xi continued to quip.

Ning Xi's sentence of my husband pleased Shu Heng, and Shu Heng picked up Ning Xi: "Your husband is going to starve to death, let's start eating." ”

Ning Xi accepted it when he saw it, and responded with a chuckle.
