Chapter 110: The Ruby of Mystery

"It's not the right time to come, I almost disturbed the purity of the third lady, it's really a concubine!"

Before anyone heard her voice, even Xia Xue'er couldn't help but sigh at the calmness in her voice, afraid that there would be no one to find in this huge Hou Mansion.

But all the glamorous and beautiful women who can live in this wealthy mansion, none of them are simple, if there is no unparalleled wisdom, then there is a tough backstage like the Zhao family, and the White Lotus has never been suitable for living in such a complex environment! Xia Xueer is convinced of this.

It's just that foxes are also smart and stupid, and those who show their tails are not necessarily worth worrying about. The Liu family has no family support, and no children to rely on, but can stand in this turbulent Hou Mansion for twenty-five years without falling, if she says that her hands are clean, who believes it?

Xia Xue'er searched around in this brain, but she couldn't find that the two had the need to meet in private, so she had to wait and see.

Liu stepped into the door under the guidance of the maid, she rarely walked around in the backyard, let alone entered Xia Xue'er's house, at this time, she was also in order, and she never looked around. Although Xia Xue'er didn't see her figure, she still bent down and saluted, "Concubine, please see the third miss, the third miss is blessed." ”

"Auntie doesn't have to be polite, I won't be okay for a while, so I can only ask my aunt to find a place to sit down. The hospitality is not good, please don't blame your aunt. ”

Xia Xueer is not the "Xia Xueer" in the past, and her ideological concepts are very different, although she slowly accepted the old-fashioned traditional ideas such as the respect and inferiority of the concubine, but in her heart, regardless of the status, the elders are the elders, and they should be respected by the younger generations. Therefore, although the young lady is more noble than the aunt, there is no need to say these polite words when they meet, let alone return the courtesy, but Xia Xue'er will still put on a respectful attitude. Because of this, the old lady also specially left her down to lecture, thinking that she did not have the appearance of a concubine. However, Xia Xueer has a stubbornness in her bones, so she only pays more attention when she is outside, and when she listens to Yuxuan, what to do or how to do it, she really hasn't grown at all. I just heard that Liu was saluting outside, and he replied politely, not because he was close.

Only then did Liu Shi calm down, raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment, but he only took a cursory glance, and his heart was no longer good. For this legendary third lady, although she is often seen, she has never been deep, and she is still a little curious in her heart. Now that he heard these approachable words, Fang Cai's nervousness dissipated a lot.

I only heard that the voice came from the inside, presumably because I hadn't dressed up yet, so I had the courage to ask: "The concubine also has some skills in dressing, I don't know if I have the honor to serve the third lady once?" ”

Xia Xue'er smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, only floating faintly on her face, as if it was an illusion, and her heart trembled.

She never likes outsiders to come into her house, so there are only four people who can serve in the bedroom on weekdays, and the rest of the maids can only go to the outside room at most, and even the girls who go into the outside room are very few, and the ones who can go in are not ordinary maids, they must be Xia Xue'er's liking. This matter is an open secret in the Xia Mansion, and although the Liu family does not often move among the sisters, they are not fools. The mansion is so big, as long as it has ears, there is no public news that I don't know, let alone the news of her Xia Xue'er!

Liu's words were sincere, and he deliberately lowered his identity, Cuizhu thought that his young lady was not good at refusing, so he wanted to go out, but was stopped by Xia Xue'er with a look.

"So, I'm lucky today." After saying that, he raised his hand and asked Qiu Ju, who was tying his hair, to step back.

Liu Shi was stunned, she had made up her mind that Xia Xue'er would refuse, after all, for Xia Xue'er, she was a pure stranger, and she couldn't even resist a maid beside her, and she knew her habits. Just like the maid who just entered the door, she is also a second-class maid, but she can only carry a copper basin in the outer room, waiting for which of the four maids will come out and pick it up.

"Give it to me." Liu took the copper basin in Li'er's hand and carried it into the inner room in her surprised eyes.

There was incense burning in the room, but I couldn't smell what kind of incense it was, I just felt that the breath was smooth and refreshing. The Liu family sniffed a few more mouthfuls greedily, but when he thought of Xia Xue'er's identity, he couldn't help but lament himself again.

The Zhao family is rich and acute, although they are businessmen, they are not lowly citizens, and they have opened the first case since ancient times, with three bumper harvests of fame, wealth and status. If his mother's family is still there, he must be able to send boxes of gold and silver treasures, utensils and tea into the house every year, and he doesn't have to abide by the rules of the concubine room like he does now.

It was only a momentary sigh, but Xia Xue'er took it all into her eyes through the bronze mirror on the dressing table, and she couldn't help but have a touch of mockery. The Liu family, who seems to be indisputable, is actually very ambitious, and over the years, it has been hard enough to hide.

Liu came back to his senses, blinked, wiped away the undeserved look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "On weekdays, I see that the third lady always pulls a flying fairy bun, can you be interested in changing it today?" ”

Xia Xue'er saw Liu's dignified smile, quite a lady's style, presumably the family taught well when she was young, after all, she was also a descendant of a wealthy family. Although the Binzhou Liu family no longer exists, but this breath is remnant, if this Liu family is just a fox, if it is a fine, then it is no wonder that she has ruthlessly destroyed the last vein of the Binzhou Liu family!

Xia Xue'er lowered her eyebrows, silently concealed the ruthlessness under her eyes, and said with thin lips: "This mention is excellent, then there will be Aunt Lao." ”

"It's the honor of a concubine."

Liu Shi bowed, got up and handed the copper basin in his hand to Cuizhu on the side, and withdrew the armor on his little finger before taking the wooden comb in Qiu Ju's hand.

Xia Xue'er only looked at the qi qi that happened behind her quietly through the bronze mirror, and her eyes narrowed unconsciously when the armor shining with gold and rubies was placed on the dressing table.

Armor is an ornament that women in the backyard often wear to prevent damage to their nails, so there is nothing unusual, but Liu's armor is rare. The ruby inlaid on it is transparent, pure and flawless, and dazzling, if she is not mistaken, this gem and the piece that Mu Feiyang gave to her before the moon should be one!

Looking away from the armor, the corners of Xia Xue'er's lips hooked slightly.

It's going to be a battle of smart people. [To be continued]
