23. 023: Turbulent
The big drama was still singing on the stage, but the scene here was completely cold.
Looking at the people at the table again, following Zhao's eyes, they began to look at Xia Ruan.
There was a faint smile on the corner of Xiao Yichan's mouth: "Third sister-in-law? ”
There is a provocative tone in this statement, which makes it seem a little inappropriate to answer or not.
After all, although the Xiao family is not as good as before, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Xia family can compare there.
"Xia Ruan, I called you, why shouldn't I be. It seems that the daughter of the Xia family is nothing more than that. Xiao Yichan slowly walked to Xia Ruan's side and continued, "Do you really think of yourself as a golden branch and jade leaf?" ”
Everyone secretly took a breath of cold air.
Over the years, Nan Xiao's people have become more and more arrogant, and today Xiao Yichan is even more arrogant. Even if Xia Ruan is not, he shouldn't make trouble on the table. Such behavior has completely offended the Wen family, not to mention, if there is a happy event in the future, where will anyone dare to invite the Xiao family?
When Xia Ruan heard this, he knew that he couldn't escape, so he turned his head to look at Xiao Yichan. Although there was a smile on his face, he finally had a little contempt, "I don't know if Xia Ruan has offended Miss Fifth before?" If there is, then Xia Ruan will compensate Miss Five today, and I hope that Miss Five Haihan will be compensated. ”
After finishing speaking, Xia Ruan slowly got up and gave a blessing to Mrs. Xun, "Everything is Xia Ruan's fault, Mrs. Xun, please forgive me, Lord Wen's birthday is actually ......"
Xia Ruan's words were not spoken, but no one could see her expression clearly when she lowered her head, but she looked a little pitiful and somewhat sympathetic.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that Xia Ruan, like the Li family, is a timid and fearful person. has been in the house for many years, how can he offend Xiao Yicicada if he doesn't go out of one door and two doors. Now she has taken all the faults down, nothing more than hoping that the big things will be small and the small things will be nothing.
It's just that Xiao Yicicada dares to be so arrogant, and Xia Ruan's apology can't solve the matter at all.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful here, I came to you today, but I just want to ask you, what does it mean to withdraw from the marriage after receiving three hundred taels of silver from our family." Xiao Yician sneered, "Now that I have made a little money, I dare not give the Xiao family face." ”
Xia Ruan was a little helpless, this is planning to force marriage?
Since Xiao Yichan dared to stand here and say these words today, someone must have instigated her behind her. Otherwise, a young lady in the boudoir, even if she has a little temperament, would not dare to mess around like this.
However, if today's event is that Nan Xiao wants to establish power, then it is another matter.
The Wen family has earned enough limelight in Dongyang County over the years, and it has also frustrated Nan Xiao's spirit, and the two families have long been at odds. Secretly, I don't know how many bad things Lu Dao said about the other party and how many villains he stabbed.
Today, the Wen family's birthday invited Nan Xiao's people to come over for a drink, just to show off his wealth. But the people on Nan Xiao's side are not stupid, where will they give the Wen family a chance? So when Wen Ruyan showed off her bracelet, Xiao Yichan appeared.
I have to say that Nan Xiao has invested enough money this time. The pair of bracelets in Xiao Yichan's hand must be expensive. As soon as the banquet disperses tonight, who will look down on the people in Nanxiao's house like before?
It's just that Xiao Yichan did it too obviously this time, even if she helped Nan Xiao Liwei, her family affairs in the future will be a little hanging.
sacrificing a concubine in exchange for the reputation of a 'rich and famous family', Nan Xiao's people are really ruthless enough and have enough means.
When Xia Ruan thought of this, there was a faint smile on her lips, but Xiao Yichan really found the wrong person tonight, and she would not let Nan Xiao's people get their wish.
"Three hundred taels of silver? Fifth Miss, you are really good at laughing, my mother has never told me that she has received three hundred taels of silver from the Xiao family. Xia Ruan laughed. She said that these are as reminders, nothing more than wanting to be a personal favor, and I think the next one will be more exciting.
Xiao Yichan's eyes rolled, as if with a murderous aura, "Will I still wronged you?" ”
But Xia Ruan still had that lukewarm expression, as if he didn't realize it.
Mrs. Xun kept looking at Xia Ruan's expression, and after seeing what she wanted to see. Mrs. Xun couldn't help it anymore, although it was a housework of other people's families. But as the owner, she has already been disgraced by Xiao Yichan. Then he preemptively said: "There is an IOU for borrowing money, I don't know if Miss Lu Daowu has any evidence?" ”
There are IOUs for borrowing money. If the gift money is accepted for courtship, there will be a gift list. After all, this is not a gift, and everyone will have more eyes.
"Naturally." After Xiao Yichan finished speaking, she took out a list from her cuff and threw it on the table, "Take a look for yourself." ”
Xia Ruan always believed in her heart that her mother had never received anything from the Xiao family, so when Mrs. Xun picked up the gift list, the expression on her face changed from indifference to sneer.
"This ......," Mrs. Xun's face began to soften, "I remember that Miss Xia San made her surname Xia Fucheng, but the name on it is not like this...... I said that the third lady made a lot of silver a few days ago, and she would look at this mere three hundred taels of silver. ”
Xiao Yichan listened to Mrs. Xun's words, and her heart was even more unhappy, but she couldn't speak ill of each other, "This silver was accepted by Mrs. Zhao, and it is the seal of the uncle of the Xia family." The gift list is clearly written, is Mrs. Xun talking nonsense with her eyes open? ”
The excitement has completely changed from Xia Ruan and Xiao Yichan to Mrs. Xun and Xiao Yichan, and the matter is getting bigger and bigger.
"Presumptuous." Mrs. Xun's anger could no longer be suppressed at this moment, and her voice raised a little, "This family affair is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, the second master and Mrs. Li are still here, and there is a need for outsiders to do a lot of things." You are the fifth lady of the Xiao family, and you have not yet left the cabinet. It's okay to talk about these things in private, but now you don't know any shame, and you still use this thing to force people, really think that this Dongyang County is the world of your Xiao family? ”
Mrs. Xun couldn't help but make Xiao Yichan tremble.
At this time, the male guest not far away seemed to be noisy, and the sound of smashing things was heard, and everyone was even more surprised, what the hell is going on?
Of course, Xia Ruan knew what this was for.
At the time when Xiao Yichan and Wen Ruyan quarreled, Mrs. Xun had already sent her personal mother-in-law to the ward of the male guest, but unfortunately Xiao Yichan did not have long eyes at all.
Moreover, the momentum of the Wen family in the future will not be too small, she remembers that there was a favored concubine next to the fourth prince back then, who was surnamed Wen.
"Someone, send off."
As soon as Mrs. Xun's words came out, a few family members came out of Xiao Yichan's side, and without saying a word, she pushed Xiao Yichan and let her leave. At this time, Xiao Yichan completely lost the momentum just now, and escaped in embarrassment.
Nan Xiao originally wanted to stand up and step on the Xia family and the Wen family, but he never thought that this time is different from the past, where can Dongyang County let them be presumptuous.
In this gambling game, Nan Xiao lost completely, and he will never be able to raise his head.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xia Ruan is really an unlucky guy this time.
But Xia Ruan didn't think like this, in her opinion, the most unlucky person today was not her, because she gave Mrs. Xun a favor, and Mrs. Xun would remember it to some extent. The most unlucky, in addition to Nan Xiao's people who made trouble just now, there are also her eldest uncle and eldest aunt who turned pale at this time.
