Grandmother Xiao's attitude made the scene awkward.

"Is there a misunderstanding on my grandmother's part?" Xiao Lei quietly glanced at the stone vines, staring at a corner with impermanence, not knowing what he was thinking. People who don't know her character will find her temperament eccentric, cold and unapproachable, and often easy to offend people. Only Xiao Lei knew that she was emptying herself again.

"Sun Niang, you say." Grandmother Xiao didn't have that much strength to explain.

Sun Niang's face was full of anxiety and chagrin, how could she forget to tell her ancestor about it. It's good now, it's going to be a joke.

After Xiao Lei returned to the Xiao Mansion, the Xiao family was in a mess. Afterwards, Steward Zhang, who is Sun Niang's husband, told her about the matter in court, so Sun Niang knew that Shi Manman disappeared the day after Xiao Lei's accident to find evidence for Xiao Lei, not as unbearable as Xiao Yuan guessed.

But Grandmother Xiao has been in a state of waking up, and she doesn't have time to mention it at all. It just so happened that Grandmother Xiao's spirit was much better today, and Xiao Lei came to visit with Shi Manman.

Sun Niang couldn't let her master lose face, and said to Xiao Lei and Shi Manman with a smile: "Childe said that he was laughing, what misunderstanding can the family have." The ancestor is sulking at home for the sake of the stone girl, after all, it is the benefactor of the Xiao family, how can there be no reason to treat the benefactor well, but let the benefactor find witnesses to save people. ”

Sun Niang's explanation was far-fetched, and Xiao Lei seemed to understand why Grandmother Xiao had such an attitude towards Shi Manman. After Shi Manman left the Xiao family, some people speculated about the reason for Shi Manman's departure, afraid that he had slandered Shi Manman's intention to let his grandmother hear it. And the real reason is that Grandmother Xiao doesn't know yet, so she made a little oolong.

Grandmother Xiao glared at Sun Niang as if she was confirming the authenticity of her words, Sun Niang's face turned red instantly, and she was ashamed to make such a mistake by Grandma Xiao's side for many years. Seeing Grandmother Xiao's eyes, Sun Niang bowed slightly.

"Ahem...... Grandmother Xiao coughed hard, as if she had used her strength to make her cheeks red.

"Grandmother still rests more, and grandchildren don't bother." Xiao Lei could see that his grandmother was hiding her embarrassment.

Without waiting for Grandmother Xiao to agree, he pulled the puzzled stone vine out of the room.

"Sun Niang!" Grandmother Xiao's voice trembled a little. She really lost face in front of the juniors this time.

"The ancestors atoned for their sins, but the old slave was not thoughtful." Sun Niang knelt on the ground, looking remorseful.

"Get up and tell me what's going on." Grandmother Xiao waved her hand weakly and asked Sun Niang to get up.

Sun Niang relayed what Steward Zhang told her to Grandmother Xiao word for word, and Grandmother Xiao listened quietly without interjecting, she closed her eyes as if she was asleep.

It wasn't until Sun Niang finished speaking that Grandmother Xiao opened her eyes, and her pupils seemed to be cloudy because of this serious illness.

"Confused~confused~" Sun Niang didn't know if Grandmother Xiao was lamenting herself or someone else.

"Call the master to see me." Just when Sun Niang thought that Grandmother Xiao was going to rest again, Grandmother Xiao spoke.

……

After Xiao Lei and Shi Manman visited Grandmother Xiao, they went to the Liuye Mei Courtyard again. Because Liu Yemei is a concubine in the Xiao family, she is not qualified to live in Xiao Yuan's courtyard. She didn't care, but thought it was good.

"Auntie's foot injury is getting better?" Xiao Lei glanced at the feet of the willow eyebrows hidden under the hem of the gold-cut hundred butterfly skirts.

"I can walk a few steps slowly, and I can walk normally after three days of medicine. Just a little more attention. Liu Yemei smiled, seeing that Xiao Lei had recovered, she was happier than her own foot injury recovery.

"It's still Lei'er capable, and my aunt smiled when she saw you. On the contrary, I had to let my aunt say what was wrong and what was not right. With a weak voice, Xiao Jin approached from outside the door, she was wearing a light blue and silver Luo corset today, showing her waist and limbs. She wears a silver magpie bead flower in her hair, and she is bright and charming with her steps. But even so, she still had a sickly look on her face that couldn't be hidden.

"Poor mouth, come and let my mother take a look. The improvement is much better, I think we used to be too careful, and sure enough, it is still like the old man said, 'Raising a child in the groove is healthy.' Liu Yemei beckoned Xiao Jin to step forward, took her soft and boneless hand, and carefully examined her complexion.

"If it weren't for the fact that my aunt and grandmother couldn't handle household chores, I would still be in the courtyard every day to enjoy the flowers and the moon. How could it end up with my aunt's arrangement. Xiao Jin seemed to be puffing out and complaining.

"I heard that Miss Shi has been entertaining in Lei'er's study for the past few days, and those sour and Confucian book girls still read less. I have nothing to do and come to my courtyard to sit, and there is also a study in my courtyard, and the books in it are suitable for us women to read. Xiao Jin sat beside Liu Yemei and said to Shi Manman.

"Books are still divided into men and women?" Shi Manman asked sideways.

"It's not like that, my sister just prefers the beautiful poetry of Fenghua Xueyue, and she doesn't look down on the 'sour Confucianism' like the Great Dao World." Xiao Lei turned to look at Xiao Jin and said with a light smile: "What did Lei'er say?" ”

"My aunt also said that I was poor, and the really poor one was actually the son of the Xiao family." Xiao Jin Nunu mouth.

"Alright, one of you will not say a word. Jin'er is here this time, but what's the matter? Liu Yemei's eyebrows looked at Xiao Jin with doting.

Xiao Jin heard Liu Yemei mention it, and then remembered the purpose of this time. Restrained his smile and said: "The clan sent someone over, and I want my father to come forward and ask Ma Daochang, who is from Shengyunguan, to choose a good day for Xiao He's cousin." ”

Liu Yemei flicked the Tenghua card in the palm of his hand, and the smile in his eyes faded.

"Did you tell your father?" Liu Yemei asked.

"No, this little thing can be sent directly, and there is no need to bother my father." Xiao Jin replied calmly.

"Over the years, the people of the clan have become more and more greedy. What kind of identity Xiao He is, the master may not necessarily invite Ma Daochang, just choose a day, and he must be so excited. Liu Yemei's tone was a little heavier.

The Ma Dao Chang in Liu Yemei's mouth is almost unknown to everyone in Shicheng, and it is rumored that the imperial court sent someone to invite him to join the court to serve as the Qin Tianjian position, but he refused. He also said that he could pinch the Tao, and he also went to subdue the demons around the stone city from time to time, and there were other mysterious deeds.

When Ma Daochang is mentioned in Shicheng, no one calls him a god. The incense of the Shengyun Temple is also prosperous, and the occasional person who is instructed by the head of the horse road is all soaring. But Ma Daochang is often idle and wild cranes are outside, and rarely shows up, let alone a small day to trouble the fairy-like figure.

Xiao Lei also knew that Ma Daochang was a person, and before he met Shi Manman, Xiao Lei only thought that those illusory tricks were all deceptive tricks. But at this time, there was a living goblin sitting next to him, so when Xiao Jin mentioned the person Ma Daochang, Xiao Lei decided to keep the Xiao family away from this kind of person.

The warlock of the rivers and lakes is afraid, I am afraid that Ma Daochang has the same ability as cultivators like Xie Bingfeng, and he has discovered the identity of Shi Manman, how can he be an ordinary mortal to protect Shi Manman.

Therefore, Xiao Lei also agreed with Xiao Jin's decision, and the clan's request was dismissed.
