406:Will count (30 pink+)
At noon on the second day, the news that Lu's mother and 'unintentionally' met Lei Liu reached Xia Ruan's ears.
Xiao Yuanxi, who was embroidering on the side, looked up and saw the angry face of his third sister-in-law.
She was slightly surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Who you off? β
Xiao Yuanxi is speaking more and more fluently, but in front of outsiders, she is still as silent as before.
Everyone thought that Xiao Yuanxi was still the same as before, a little mute who couldn't speak.
Xiao Yuanxi is a quiet person in her bones, so Xia Ruan instructed her not to tell anyone about things that she can already talk to. In this regard, Xiao Yuanxi was still happy to agree.
Moreover, now she seems to understand more and more why Xia Ruan would let her do this in the first place.
Except for Xia Ruan and Du Ruo in this house, there is no third person in this house who knows that she can speak.
Xiao Yuanxi's movements in her hand slowly slowed down, she was actually slightly surprised when she heard what Mother Lu and the head of the Lei family met.
Xiao Yuanxi knew about his mother and grandfather sending his third sister-in-law away.
Xiao Yuanxi used to ask for Aunt Lin's attention, but Aunt Lin's eyes were always on Xiao Yuanan's body, and over time, her mother-daughter affection for Aunt Lin faded. This time, Aunt Lin did such a thing, and Xiao Yuanxi didn't understand why her mother would treat such a good person as her third sister-in-law.
"Did Mother Lu make you angry?" Xiao Yuanxi threw the embroidered thing in his hand on the table, "I'll go tell the third brother about this." It's too much......"
Xia Ruan was still a little angry, but when he saw Xiao Yuanxi's angry appearance, he couldn't help laughing.
She pinched Xiao Yuanxi's cheek, and then said, "The third sister-in-law is not angry, you little girl." β
Xiao Yuanxi frowned slightly, Xiao Yuanxi's food and clothing were all arranged by Xia Ruan these days, so the little girl, who was originally thin, now looks a little better. During this time, Xiao Yuanxi slowly opened up, and Nan Xiao was born with a good face. Today's Xiao Yuanxi also looks like a little beauty embryo.
"Third sister-in-law......" Xiao Yuanxi was a little helpless. I'm not a kid anymore. β
Xia Ruan smiled and nodded: "Okay, our Xiaoxi is not a child anymore." Don't worry, the third sister-in-law won't be angry about this matter, it's just that the third sister-in-law wants to ask you. Do you think this thing is weird? β
Things in the house. Xia Ruan would never hide that something was wrong with Xiao Yuanxi. She will also let Xiao Yuanxi find out what is wrong by herself.
She and Xiao Jiu can't protect Xiao Yuanxi for a lifetime, and when Xiao Yuanxi grows up, she will get married. There will be their own home.
At that time, there will inevitably be open guns and hidden arrows in the house, and Xiao Yuanxi must learn to protect himself, and he must understand that those people are good people and those are evil people.
After all, where there are people, there is intrigue.
After Xiao Yuanxi heard Xia Ruan say this, he frowned and began to think about what was wrong in this matter.
Aunt Lin is now under house arrest, and if it weren't for Xiao Jiu's orders, the subordinates would never let Aunt Lin leave her small courtyard. It's just that as Aunt Lin's side to marry Mother Lu, it is different, and Mother Lu wants to decoct Mrs. Lin, so she lifted the grounding.
In fact, Xiao Yuanxi also understands that the fourth sister has a good impression of Lei Liugongzi, and she heard the fourth sister talking about Lei Liu in the courtyard of the fourth sister last night. At that time, the fourth sister had a smile on her lips.
The fourth sister hadn't laughed like that for a long time, at least in her memory, since the fourth sister came back from the Zhang family, she hadn't talked about someone so happily.
But the fourth sister has low self-esteem in her bones......
Xiao Yuanxi understands very well why the fourth sister has low self-esteem, she used to be so inferior, if it weren't for Xia Ruan's appearance, Xiao Yuanxi thought that she would be dumb for the rest of her life, and then she would never step out of her small courtyard.
If a woman is not perfect, then she will consider herself incomplete. Xiao Yuanxi is not young anymore, and she knows a little about these things, so when she saw her fourth sister having low self-esteem, she explained that the fourth sister should not despise herself.
The fourth sister's poetry and piano skills are top-notch.
It's just that there is a fact that can't be changed no matter what. Then it is her fourth sister, if she is stimulated, she will lose her mind. If the fourth sister loses her mind, she will attack people like a madman......
Although the fourth sister's condition has improved these days, this is also an indisputable fact.
Xiao Yuanxi thought for a while before asking Xia Ruan, "Third sister-in-law, what did Mother Lu and Keyou and Lei Gongzi say?" β
"Yes." Xia Ruan smiled and waved his hand to let Du Ruo change a hot tea for Xiao Yuanxi, "Mother Lu gave medicine to your fourth sister, but accidentally bumped into Lei Gongzi." Lu's mother apologized to Lei Gongzi, and Lei Gongzi left without saying anything. However, Cher was fined a month's monthly silver. β
Xiao Yuanxi was a little confused, "It's obvious that Mother Lu bumped into Lei Gongzi, why did she punish Xue'er for her monthly silver?" β
Xia Ruan's gaze was still gentle, "Because Xue'er said the wrong thing, Xue'er told SΓΉ Lei Gongzi that this is your fourth sister's medicine." β
Xiao Yuanxi couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this, and his little face that had just opened was full of disdain, "Xue'er was brought up by Lu's mother, and Lu's mother has no marriage match, so she has taken care of Xue'er over the years." How can you blame Xue'er for saying the wrong thing? Moreover, Sister Du Ruo has always been in charge of the fourth sister's medicine, when will it be Mother Lu's turn again. β
Du Ruo, who was on the side, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and then took out a withered flower from his cuff, "Madam, Miss Thirteen, this is the wind box that the slave picked up in the grass." β
Xiao Yuanxi was slightly surprised, "Feng'er, what do you do?" β
"The wind box is a medicine, and when combined with a few other medicines, it can make people sleep." Du Ruo put the wind box in his hand on the table, "The fourth lady also had this smell of wind box in the medicine in the past. But these days, Miss Four's condition has improved, and Miss Four has not used a medicine like Wind Box that is too strong. β
Xiao Yuanxi listened to Du Ruo's explanation, and picked up the wind box that Du Ruo had placed on the table.
She watched for a long time. Still didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Could it be that the mother was afraid that the fourth sister would get into trouble, so she asked Lu's mother to send the decoction to the fourth sister?
However, coincidentally, Lu's mother met Lei Gongzi on the way?
Xiao Yuanxi pondered for a while before he tentatively said to Xia Ruan, "Mother is afraid that the fourth sister's condition will recur?" β
Du Ruo listened to it, and couldn't help but laugh out loud on the side.
Although Miss Thirteen is smart, she still can't see through many things.
Xiao Yuanxi was not annoyed that Du Ruo would laugh at her, but quickly turned around and asked Du Ruo, "Sister Du Ruo." Am I not right? β
"Miss Thirteen. The slave asks you a question. Du Ruo pointed to the wind box in Xiao Yuanxi's hand and said, "When you take medicine, is there any medicine residue in the bowl?" β
Xiao Yuanxi thought about it and quickly shook his head. "How could there be dregs. I'm eating ......."
Xiao Yuanxi said halfway. A pair of clear eyes widened, revealing a stunned look.
Who deliberately put a few flavors of medicine residue in the decoction when taking the decoction? The wind box is indeed a medicinal herb. But why is there a withered wind box in that bowl of decoction? This is not an obvious accusation to outsiders, there is actually a wind box in this medicine.
Medicinal herbs like the wind box, although rare. But anyone who knows a little about medicinal materials will know what the medicinal properties of the wind box are.
Seeing Xiao Yuanxi's surprised look, Xia Ruan couldn't help but take Du Ruo's words, "Although Young Master Lei is from a famous family in Shu, he has been walking on the rivers and lakes all these years. β
Xia Ruan didn't remind him too thoroughly, and this qiΔ had to be handed over to Xiao Yuanxi to think about himself.
She pointed out a way, and the next thing for Xiao Yuanxi to think about was for herself.
It's best to be able to figure it out, if you can't figure it out, then it proves that Xiao Yuanxi still doesn't know how dark it is in the house, and he needs to continue to work hard to learn to know these things slowly.
Xiao Yuanxi thought for a long time before saying, "I'll go and talk to the fourth sister." β
She got up to say goodbye to Xia Ruan and did not continue to ask.
After Xiao Yuanxi left, Du Ruo looked at the embroidery that Xiao Yuanxi put on the table before asking Xia Ruan, "Madam, will it be too early to tell Miss SΓΉ Thirteen about these things?" β
"Early?" Xia Ruan picked up Xiao Yuanxi's embroidery, and then shook his head, "In the past, if I had reacted earlier, then I wouldn't have had those things." Xiaoxi is not young, if she doesn't know anything sinister about the things in the house, then what will she do in the future? β
Du Ruo sighed slowly, "Madam, in fact, the slave maid doesn't understand why she wants to let Mother Lu move around." Hou Ye grounded Aunt Lin and Mother Lu, but ...... Madam, Mother Lu is the person who has served Aunt Lin the longest time. β
Mother Lu was actually grounded early in the morning, but Mrs. Lin often had headaches, and Mother Lu needed to decoct Mrs. Lin herself. Therefore, Lu's mother asked people to sue Xia Ruan, wanting to come out and walk around.
At that time, Du Ruo was against it.
But Xia Ruan thought for a while, and then agreed to Lu's mother's request.
Du Ruo didn't understand why Mrs. would let Mother Lu come out and walk around, Mother Lu would break a lot of things.
After all, Mother Lu is Aunt Lin's confidant and will help Mrs. Lin do a lot of things.
Xia Ruan looked at Du Ruo's panicked appearance and explained with a smile, "Many people in this house are from the Lin family, I can't drive them all out, right?" Some people grew up with Hou Ye, and Hou Ye is also a nostalgic person, although he won't say anything if he does this, it will hurt people's hearts. Now, I don't know what works and what doesn't. Lu's mother released it to see if those people couldn't use it. Moreover, it is also a good thing that Lei Liugongzi knows the condition of the fourth sister. β
She never thought of hiding the fourth sister's illness, so this matter had no effect on her.
Moreover, there are other reasons why she will let Lu's mother out.
Mother Lu is the wife of Aunt Lin, and has been loved by Mrs. Lin for many years, but she is unwilling to marry and has been following Mrs. Lin.
Is it loyalty, or is it for some other purpose?
Xia Ruan couldn't guess. (To be continued......)
