"The meeting gift for the Xiao family has been prepared." Zhou Xiya asked Mama Zhou.

"It's all ready, I inquired about the preferences of those young ladies before, and they were all specially prepared, so I won't lose my manners." Mama Zhou nodded.

"Okay, give them all to them when the time comes, secretly think about these people of the Xiao family, and see who has good intentions and who has malicious intentions."

"Okay" Mama Zhou should be, the news she inquired about is not always so accurate, and they still have to find out what the situation of the Xiao family is.

"Miss, can you wait with the slave for a while?" Fu Jiayue walked in and said a little flatteringly.

"What are you doing, I didn't see anyone in the afternoon, we just arrived at Xiao's house, you walked around, if something happened and it affected Miss, can you take care of it?" Mama Zhou's school motto.

"Miss, don't be angry, I'm not idle, this is not going out to contact people and find out the news." Fu Jiayue didn't care about Mama Zhou's cold face at all, since she wanted to use the power of others, it didn't matter if she said a few words, in this Xiao family, there was nothing more secure than the people around the second young lady of the Xiao family.

"Oh? What did you inquire about? Zhou Xiya sat aside and picked up a cup of tea.

"Marquis Xiao's eight sons, except for the two sons-in-law, the others are concubines, five daughters, one has been married, the relationship between the eldest son and the third son is good, although the eldest son and the second son are brothers-in-law, but they are not harmonious, for the relationship between the two sons, Mrs. Xiao is helpless, and Marquis Xiao ignores it."

"I know all you say, if that's all you can bring me. I really doubt the value of having you with me. Zhou Xiya raised her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

"Miss, don't worry, if you only know this, I naturally won't show off in front of you, Mrs. Xiao is old and decrepit, and she is not loved by Marquis Xiao, now she just has the position of a lady, and it is also because she has two sisters-in-law, and now Marquis Xiao's favorite is Aunt Xu, and the most favored is the three-year-old son born by Aunt Xu. Probably an old man. Marquis Xiao likes this little son very much, Mrs. Xiao hates mother and son to the core, as far as I know, this Aunt Xu was arranged by the eldest son to the master. You said that if Mrs. Shaw knew about it, it was a good thing done by his good son. What will happen to Mrs. Shaw? Aren't you looking for trouble with the eldest son? Fu Jiayue reminded.

"Are you asking me to stir up discord between my mother-in-law and my eldest son? What a joke. No matter what people say, it's also a mother and son, and one of my daughters-in-law is saying this. Mrs. Xiao was angry, what good fruit can my new daughter-in-law eat. Zhou Xiya sneered, she felt that this idea was stupid.

Although Aunt Xu is the eyeliner and pillow wind arranged by the eldest prince next to Marquis Xiao, Mrs. Xiao and the eldest prince are mother and son, and no matter how dissatisfied they are, they are better than her, an outsider.

"Of course I don't tell Mrs. Xiao, I'm not stupid to this point, this is a private matter, my people checked for a long time, only to know that Aunt Xu is the eldest son's person, no one would have thought that the woman who flaunts her power all day long and doesn't put Mrs. Xiao in her eyes was actually arranged by the eldest son, what will happen if this matter is told to the second son, you are for revenge, who is not taking advantage of it, anyway, their brothers are fighting, you might as well stir the water more muddy, aren't you good at fishing in troubled waters?" Fu Jiayue shook her fingers, a little dissatisfied with Zhou Xiya's suspicions, she is not stupid, okay.

"Tell Xiao Jingqing? Do you want him to follow the example of his eldest brother and arrange for a man to be a spy next to his father? To be honest, these days, she can see Xiao Jingqing's sincerity to her, she has used Xiao Jingqing to marry herself, she has a chance to enter the Xiao family, she doesn't want to use him anymore.

"This is up to Xiao Gongzi himself, if Xiao Gongzi wants to prepare early, this step must be taken, if Xiao Hou Ye does not have anyone around him to help him speak, it will be very unfavorable to Xiao Gongzi."

"Why, do you want to be the person who was installed in the past" Zhou Xiya looked her up and down, wouldn't it be that she thought of Xiao Houye's side, although Xiao Houye is in the prime of life, but after all, he is middle-aged, although he is in a high position, he is bloated, and he flatters a man who accompanies him every day, can a teenage girl stand it? Not to mention that Fu Jiayue still considers herself a princess, and she will not surrender herself to this point.

"Zhou Xiya, I am wholeheartedly cooperating with you, but you can't humiliate me." Fu Jiayue stood up angrily and glared at Zhou Xiya.

"Since your eyes are not on Marquis Xiao, I am relieved, you just think, I am reluctant to send you a girl like a flower to the old man." Zhou Xiya smiled and waved her hand to let Fu Jiayue sit down.

Fu Jiayue turned her head and ignored Zhou Xiya, she ran to Zhou Xiya's side as a maid as a princess, and she was wronged enough in the future.

"Alright, tell me what I think." Zhou Xiya got up and patted Fu Jiayue on the shoulder.

"What do you think is most important to a man? It's his face, if he knows that he has a green hat on his head, a man won't tolerate it, if we secretly do something to make Xiao Hou Ye think that that little boy is not Xiao Hou Ye's old man, but the son of the eldest son, it is Aunt Xu and the eldest son who stole it. The son born by love, what do you say will happen to Marquis Xiao? The eldest prince is definitely not good, although this matter is a little troublesome to operate, but as long as we want to do it, we can still do it, after all, there is really a relationship between Aunt Xu and the eldest prince, even if there is no evidence, you can find out the evidence, I have a person under my hand who is good at imitating people's notes, since your person has already stretched out his hand in the Xiao family, then go and get me the handwriting of the eldest prince and Aunt Xu, I want to play a big game of chess. Zhou Xiya's long eyelashes covered the calculation in her eyes.

Since she came to the Xiao family, she has to rely on her own strength to deal with Xiao Ruiqing to avenge Li Mu, so it can be regarded as repaying Xiao Jingqing, Xiao Ruiqing will go down, if Xiao Houye really seeks to seize the throne in the future, the heir to the throne will be Xiao Jingqing.

"Your plan is really poisonous, no matter whether the eldest prince and Aunt Xu have something to do, it will not end well in front of Marquis Xiao, and when the time comes, the calculation will not move the foundation of the eldest prince, and it can be regarded as folding Aunt Xu into it. Maybe she can sell one in front of Mrs. Xiao, no matter what she says, she also holds the management of the Xiao family, if she knows that her son is against her, I am afraid that she will also be cold, and she will also fall to the side of the second son when the time comes. Fu Jiayue nodded, very much in favor of this method, rumors that this thing will really kill people, there is no wind and no waves, then they will fan the flames.

"Is it such a big thing to tell the second son, with his help. It will be a lot easier. Fu Jiayue suggested.

"No need. Don't tell him just yet," Zhou Xiya shook her head.

In the evening, Xiao Jingqing came out of the study and came to find Zhou Xiya to go to the front yard to meet his parents and siblings for dinner.

When they arrived, these sons and ladies of the Xiao family had arrived. Only Marquis Xiao, Mrs. Xiao and his concubines have not arrived. That's right. The youngest boy didn't arrive either.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, I'm sorry, we're late." Xiao Jingqing said politely.

"It's not too late. It's not too late, you have just returned to Yingtian, you are tired from the journey, you should rest for a while, and your parents haven't arrived yet. Xiao Ruiqing smiled and patted Xiao Jingqing's shoulder, looking like a brother and a friend.

"Big brother, what you said is wrong, the second brother is a person in the army, and he is not afraid of marching and fighting, how can he be tired after such a little road, he must feel sorry for his new sister-in-law, but it is also right, the two are newly married, and they are naturally like glue, and they can get tired of it for a while." Xiao Yanqing. Laughed.

Some of the other brothers laughed, and some stood aside and watched coldly.

"Third brother, what is this talking about, the second brother and the second brother and sister should have a good relationship, unlike you, you have been in the middle of thousands of flowers, and the leaves do not stick to your body, who has the third brother and your ability, you don't love women, and you don't allow your second brother to hurt his daughter-in-law." Wang, who was standing on the side, also joked.

"Xiao Yanqing, I remember that you still owe me five thousand taels of silver, I just got married, and I am short of money, remember to send me the silver tomorrow." Xiao Jingqing suddenly spoke, hitting him straight to the death hole.

"Don't, second brother, you forced me to pay back the money, how can I make it up, besides, you married such a rich woman, how can you have no money in your hands." Xiao Yanqing immediately exploded, the money in his hand was used for enjoyment, or it was spent on women, he borrowed all the people in this family, and there were still a lot of foreign debts outside, he just followed the eldest brother and got some money from the eldest brother, so that he would not be too tight on hand and forced to repay the money, didn't this cost his life.

"My silver is to buy steamed buns and feed them to the dog, and the dog can still be exchanged for a dog wagging its tail at me, I collect debts naturally, my wife's money is hers, I Xiao Jingqing is not enough to use women's money, I will go to you early tomorrow morning, if you can't take it out, don't blame me for being unkind." Xiao Jingqing looked at Xiao Yanqing with a cold face, this person just has no face, he has no ability, and his stomach is broken.

"You dare to call me a dog, you ......"

"Okay, it's all my own brothers, what kind of quarrel, let my father know if it's time to be happy, second, you also know, the third brother doesn't have any serious errands, for the sake of the eldest brother's face, you give him a few days." Xiao Ruiqing had no choice but to come out to stop him, no matter how bad Xiao Yanqing was, he was also his pawn, and he could help say that he was inconvenient to come forward.

"The eldest brother's face is really valuable, but some face can be given, and some face can't be given, lest some people don't know their own importance, they are very arrogant, they forget their identity, and when they are younger brothers, they dare to talk about their brothers and sisters-in-law." Xiao Jingqing didn't care about the cynicism of these brothers before, but now he can't, he doesn't protect his wife.

"Third brother, don't you apologize to your second sister-in-law quickly, and don't care about your mouth, it's obviously a good word, it comes out of your mouth, it's so ugly, see that your second brother misunderstood, quickly apologize." Xiao Ruiqing glanced at the third brother.

"Second sister-in-law, I'm sorry, my brother owes, I really don't mean anything, second brother and second sister-in-law, you adults don't care about villains, just spare me." Xiao Yanqing clenched his fists and saluted and apologized, and the moment he bent over, he covered his gaze like a poisonous snake.

"That's it, I hope the third brother remembers his identity, the Xiao family is a family, and the most important thing is rules and etiquette, as children, we must always be vigilant and don't do anything that shouldn't be done, sweeping the face of the Xiao family." Zhou Xiya educated.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, all the younger brothers and sisters, Xiya has just arrived at the Xiao family, and she is not familiar with the family, if there is anything in the future, you can mention her more, today Xiya has prepared a meeting gift for you to talk about your heart." Xiao Jingqing ignored Xiao Yanqing's annoyed and angry face and changed the topic.

"Brother and sister are polite, since brother and sister are preparing gifts, then we are welcome." Wang saw that her husband was not doing well, so she had to come out to play a round.

Zhou Xiya and Mama Zhou distributed gifts to everyone, and everyone had them.

"Why didn't the eighth brother come?" Zhou Xiya took the last gift box left in her hand and asked casually.

"The eighth brother is young, and he has been following Aunt Xu, and he should come with Aunt Xu in a while." The third lady standing opposite Zhou Xiya said, with a hint of closeness on her face, she felt it, this second sister-in-law is very powerful, very stylish, she is not angry and arrogant, and she is really a match for the second brother, seeing that the second brother cares about the second sister-in-law so much, presumably this second sister-in-law is a good person, I hope it is better than the eldest sister-in-law.

"The master is here...... Lady to ...... Ladies and sisters, come to the ......" The maid said, Marquis Xiao and Mrs. Xiao and the aunts walked in.

The children stood on both sides to greet them.

"I've seen my father and mother" After Xiao Houye and his wife sat down, the children saluted.

"Excuse me, today is a family banquet, no need to be formal" Marquis Xiao smiled.

Zhou Xiya glanced at the people in the room, I have to say that the Xiao family is really prosperous, and Marquis Xiao has a lot of concubines, although I already knew how many concubines she has before, but so many concubines are standing here, it is really dazzling, it is really full of colors.

Looking at so many women, Zhou Xiya couldn't help sneering in her heart, lingering among women every day, she was not afraid that her body would be hollowed out, compared to her clean and self-righteous father, this Xiao Hou Ye was really not a good person, no wonder that Xiao Yanqing lingered in the flowers all day long, the power of this example is very powerful, fortunately, Xiao Jingqing does not have this problem.

Zhou Xiya saw the little boy who was held by the maid, standing in front of them should be Aunt Xu, no wonder they were standing so close to Xiao Houye, they were really favored, and Zhou Xiya cared most about the appearance of the child, but after seeing it clearly, Zhou Xiya smiled, God really help me, this eighth brother is really similar to Xiao Ruiqing, the brothers of the Xiao family don't imagine much, even Xiao Ruiqing Xiao Jingqing's brothers are not very similar, I didn't expect the two of them to be so similar, seventy percent of the similarity, especially the eyebrows, if she didn't know that she was going to calculate Xiao Ruiqing, she would have been a little skeptical that this child was really Xiao Ruiqing's.

"The second brother is back, the second daughter-in-law has just entered the door, everyone knows each other." Marquis Xiao began to introduce his concubines, and it was rare to introduce them in person.

"This is the second lady, no wonder you praise it, master, this young lady is different, she is extravagant, and the second son is really a match made in heaven, congratulations to Mrs. for getting a good daughter-in-law." Aunt Xu said delicately.

Mrs. Xiao didn't even raise her face, and directly ignored Aunt Xu. (To be continued.) )
