333: Defection
At that time, Xiao Yuanxi was staring at Xia Wen in the courtyard.
Xia Wen looked at Xiao Yuanxi with an arrogant face, and couldn't help but be sarcastic in her words: "I heard that you are deaf in your right ear, and you are still dumb?" It's really pitiful. β
Xiao Yuanxi took a step back and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Xia Wen, "What are you afraid of?" I won't eat you again. Today, I also sent pastries to my third cousin for my second aunt, but I was unlucky and saw something I shouldn't see. β
In the past few days, the Li family has suffered from the cold, but he is worried that Xia Ruan will not eat well, so he asks people to send some delicious food every day.
Xia Wen begged Li for a long time today, saying that she wanted to come to see Xia Ruan. In addition, Cuiliu had to take care of the children who had a high fever, so Li had to ask Xia Wen to personally send pastries to the Marquis of Chang'an.
In this regard, Xia Wen was naturally overjoyed.
She wanted to come to the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an somewhat selfishly, since she had seen Xiao Jiu once, she had never forgotten Xiao Jiu, who was handsome and elegant.
In her eyes, Xiao Jiu is like an immortal who came out of an ink painting, unstained with a grain of dust in this world.
It's just that such a dazzling and excellent man actually has such a clumsy sister.
Xia Wen pursed her lips helplessly, let go of Xiao Yuanxi's hand, and looked disgusted, "I'm joking with you, you won't be angry with me, right?" Sister Xiaoxi. β
Xiao Yuanxi hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he would not be angry.
She really has nothing to be angry about, because what Xia Wen said is the truth, and she is indeed deaf and dumb. She had heard all the words that were a hundred times worse than Xia Wen's mouth, so she didn't pay attention to these words at all.
The third sister-in-law once said to her: "It is not necessary to be angry with those who are not worthy of anger." She doesn't have much to do with your life. No need to be too mediocre. If you're really unhappy, you're doing well. Your good life is the greatest punishment for them. β
Seeing Xiao Yuanxi's weak look, Xia Wen couldn't help but snort coldly, and turned around proudly and walked towards the main courtyard.
As soon as Xia Wen left, Chun'er's face turned a little pale: "Miss Thirteen, are you okay?" β
Xiao Yuanxi smiled and shook her head at Chun'er, if it was in the past, she might still care a little, but now she doesn't care at all.
It's just that. She had to tell her third sister-in-law. This girl named Xia Wen is not a good kind.
"The slave is sorry for you, the slave is sorry for Miss Thirteen." Chun'er's eyes couldn't help but turn red again, "The slave should have helped you just now." But...... She is the fourth lady of the Xia family. It is Madame's cousin. The slave and maid were afraid that the lady would blame the slave and maid. It's all slaves and maids who are useless, and slaves and maids should have a good talk with their mothers. β
Xiao Yuanxi looked at Chun'er as if watching a play.
Chun'er didn't notice Xiao Yuanxi's expression. "Miss Thirteen, next time you should tell Hou Ye, Hou Ye will definitely make the decision for you. Mrs. She...... After all, she is an outsider, and she won't hurt you like Hou Ye. β
Xiu'er was frowning on the side, and was about to help Xia Ruan defend when she heard footsteps behind her.
I saw Xiao Jiu standing behind them, raising his eyebrows and looking at the situation here, and the man who followed Xiao Jiu looked like he was smiling.
Chun'er has often seen Xiao Jiu over the years, but when she saw Xiao Jiu today, she was still attracted by Xiao Jiu's handsome face and couldn't take her eyes off, and forgot to salute for a while.
Not only Chun'er forgot, but even Xiao Yuanxi forgot to salute the four princes.
"The slave has seen Master Hou." Xiu'er hurriedly saluted Xiao Jiu, as for the people around Xiao Jiu, she really hadn't seen them once, so she didn't know who was coming.
Chun'er was awakened by Xiu'er's words and hurriedly followed suit. Because both of them lowered their heads, they didn't see Qin Shuo make a booing gesture at Xiao Yuanxi at all.
Qin Shuo had an elegant posture, putting his slender and white index finger to his lips, smiling as gently as a spring breeze in March, and shallow dimples were exposed on his cheeks.
He is already handsome, but at the moment, he looks a little more charming than usual.
Xiao Yuanxi nodded instinctively and did not salute Qin Shuo.
Xiao Jiu watched the movements of the four princes thoughtfully, and did not make a sound.
"Get up." Xiao Jiu saw the corners of Chun'er's reddish eyes, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?" β
Chun'er stood up and looked at Xiao Jiu with an aggrieved expression, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitiful: "Slave maid...... The slave maid followed the thirteenth lady to greet the lady, and who knew that she met the fourth lady of the Xia family. β
When Xiao Jiu heard Chun'er say this, a figure vaguely flashed in his mind, but he couldn't remember what that person looked like.
However, Xia Wen left a very bad impression on Xiao Jiu, because in Xia Wen's eyes, Xiao Jiu saw the same eyes as Princess Qinghe. For such a look, he was a little disdainful.
"I'm going back to the main courtyard too, so let's go together." Xiao Jiu ignored Chun'er's speechless eyes, and waved at Xiao Yuanxi, "Xiaoxi, come here for the third brother." β
Xiao Yuanxi smiled, his eyes as clear as a spring couldn't help but glance at Qin Shuo, and finally walked to Xiao Jiu's side.
Xiao Yuanxi didn't understand why the fourth prince stopped her from saluting, but since the fourth prince helped her keep it secret and didn't tell the third brother that she had recovered her voice, then she should be righteous enough not to tell the third brother that she and the fourth prince had met in private.
She lowered her eyes, not noticing the deep contemplation on Xiao Jiu's face at all.
Chun'er, who was standing on the side, never thought that Xiao Jiu would ignore her existence. Could it be that the aggrieved look on her face was not clear enough?
Chun'er looked at Xiao Yuanxi's appearance, Xiao Yuanxi was as well-behaved and not noisy as usual, and it seemed that he didn't plan to tell Xiao Jiu what had just happened. Chun'er stomped her feet angrily, if Xiao Yuanxi didn't take the initiative to talk to Xiao Jiu about this matter, then she wouldn't be able to provoke the feelings of Xiao Jiu and Xia Ruan.
After Xia Ruan came to the Marquis of Chang'an's Mansion, she wanted to go to the account office to get the silver, and once the three taels of silver passed, the account clerk would ask the housekeeper.
In the past, the butler turned a blind eye to this, but now the butler will ask what she is doing with the money.
Chun'er said sarcastically to Steward Xue: "Now that Steward Xue is powerful, Xiaocheng and Xiaohe follow Hou Ye to do things, which also makes Steward Xue more and more emboldened." β
Steward Xue's words to Chun'er. just said softly: "Xiao Cheng and Xiao He can serve Hou Ye by Hou Ye's side, which is a blessing that the Xue family has cultivated for several lifetimes. Miss Chun'er is the person that Miss Biao specially sent to Miss Thirteen, and what Miss Chun'er does is to represent Miss Table's meaning. Therefore, it is better for Chun'er girl to be careful when she speaks and acts. β
"You ......" Chun'er's eyes widened angrily at Steward Xue, "You wait and see." β
This damn old thing.
At the beginning, they were sent to Xiao Jiu from the Lin family together, she was the person next to Miss Biao, and Steward Xue would give her a little thin noodles in the past. But since Xia Ruan left the palace, he personally ordered Xue Cheng and Xue He to serve by Xiao Jiu's side, and Steward Xue completely stood on Xia Ruan's side.
There has always been no shortage of people around Xiao Jiu, if it weren't for Xia Ruan's intervention. Xue Cheng and Xue He naturally had no chance to show up beside Xiao Jiu.
Chun'er was angry at this. There is also some helplessness.
Mrs. Lin will not meddle in the affairs of the inner house at all, and Xia Ruan has the final say on all these things.
Moreover, Xiao Jiu was obviously confused by Xia Ruan, a fox. What did Xia Ruan say. Xiao Jiu won't say a word.
The tears in Chun'er's eyes couldn't help but roll out: "Master Hou......"
Xiao Jiu turned his eyes to look at Chun'er. The smile on his lips faded: "Why are you crying?" β
"It's the slave who is not good, it's the slave who is wrong." only heard a 'poof', and Chun'er knelt in front of Xiao Jiu. "The slave maid didn't take good care of the thirteenth lady, and begged the Hou Ye to punish the slave maid."
Qin Shuo couldn't help but laugh out loud at this time, revealing a look of watching a good show.
Xiao Jiu glanced at Qin Shuo and sighed helplessly in his heart: "Why do you say this?" β
Chun'er's crying pear blossoms brought rain, and her originally delicate face looked a little pitiful: "Miss Thirteen met Miss Fourth just now...... Fourth Miss She ...... She actually scolded Miss Thirteen. β
Xiao Jiu squatted down, with pity in his eyes: "She bullied you?" β
Xiao Yuanxi shook his head and gestured at Xiao Jiu a few times, the smile on his face did not decrease.
She could guess why Chun'er said these things in front of the third brother at this moment, Chun'er said these things not for her to be upset, but to provoke the feelings of the third brother and the third sister-in-law. Xiao Yuanxi didn't feel aggrieved about this matter, and he didn't take it to heart. After all, Xia Wen is Xia Wen, and she can't represent her third sister-in-law.
"I see." Xiao Jiu smiled softly at Xiao Yuan, "Next time the third brother is not by your side, if you are bullied, remember to tell the third sister-in-law." She loves you tooβ"
Xiao Yuanxi nodded, smiling and bending his eyes.
Xiao Jiu stood up straight and said to Chun'er: "I don't want to hear this kind of thing out of nothing, I don't want to hear it a second time." Chun'er, you have been serving by Miss Thirteen's side for many years, if you don't even know Miss Thirteen's temperament, then when your grandfather comes, you can follow him back to the Lin family. β
Chun'er looked at Xiao Yuanxi with a stunned expression, but Xiao Yuanxi's eyes were not on her side.
"Master Hou, what the slave said is true." Chun'er pointed at Xiu'er unwillingly, "If you don't believe in slaves, you should believe in Xiu'er." Miss Thirteen didn't dare to tell you this, but she just wanted to calm things down, but the slave didn't want Miss Thirteen to be wronged. β
Xiao Jiu raised his eyebrows, he knew that Chun'er's words were indeed true, and Xia Wen could do these things.
If Chun'er really likes Xiao Yuan, he will definitely appreciate it. But now that Chun'er said this, she just wanted to provoke his feelings with Xia Ruan, so Xiao Jiu wouldn't pay attention to Chun'er at all.
He believed in Xia Ruan.
From the day he married Xia Ruan and entered the door, he would not suspect everything Xia Ruan did.
Xiao Jiu believed that his vision would not go wrong.
At this time, Xiu'er also knelt on the ground, and Xiu'er guessed Chun'er's thoughts somewhat, so she quickly replied: "The slave didn't see anything just now." β
As soon as Xiu'er's words fell, Chun'er forgot her words in shock.
