209. Trouble
Meng Shi returned with An Ruoxian, not only did he not get the so-called justice, but he also caused a big joke.
On the way back, neither of them said anything, and they were not as close as before.
Meng felt that she was implicated, because she complained about An Ruoxian, and An Ruoxian thought that she was implicated by Meng, because she did not come to Suotongyuan voluntarily, and the two complained to each other and were dissatisfied with each other, so naturally they had nothing to say.
Despite this, neither of them had a seizure in person, they only held it in their hearts, and they were still mothers and daughters on the surface.
Back at Xinyue Garden, as soon as he entered the door, the Xue family greeted him respectfully and saluted: "Madam, Miss Ten." ”
"You're here." Meng Shi replied tiredly, and was helped into the outer hall by Xia He, and sat down at the red lacquer carved round table.
An Ruoxian followed behind her, standing submissively to her left-hand side.
The Xue family also followed behind, and replied with a smile when he heard this: "The concubine thought that there was nothing to do, so she came to serve the lady." ”
As he spoke, he had already poured herbal tea neatly, raised it above his head and offered it to Meng Shi's eyes.
Looking at Xue's deferential and humble posture, Meng's mood instantly changed from cloudy to sunny, and she said: "I told you a long time ago that you are the concubine of the fifth master, and I can be regarded as sisters, so there is no need to be so polite." ”
But he took Xue Shijing's tea and took a sip lightly.
An Ruoxian pursed her lips in a word, looking down on Xue's flattering and despicable appearance.
Xia He, who was waiting on the side, was also full of disdain.
Long before Miss Six came to the big house, the Xue family often came to Xinyue Garden, and every time she came over, she was humble, saying that she wanted to serve her wife, but at first her wife did not want to see her. It's just that she will come over every day, scramble, and work hard for Madame, and after a long time, Madame will slowly accept her, and now she is allowed to serve in the room.
In the past two months, Xue has been particularly diligent.
Xia He knew it in his heart. The Xue family did not really serve the Meng family. She just wanted to curry favor with Meng Shi in order to show Xi àn in front of An Shiyan, and then win An Shiyan's favor.
Xia He persuaded and reminded Meng more than once. But Meng didn't believe her words, but said that she was serious, and even reprimanded her several times for this.
"Xue is docile and gentle, simple and kind. He is not a malevolent man who is well versed in intrigue and intrigue. These are the exact words of Meng. She is a firm believer in her vision.
I heard this many times, and Xia He didn't dare to say more, so he only kept an eye on himself.
And the reason why Meng came to such a conclusion was because Xue had comforted and accompanied An Ruolan from time to time after her death. also often talked to her about interesting stories about the country grange, as well as An Shiyan's biological aunt.
In front of the Meng family, the Xue family was indeed very docile and obedient.
I didn't care about Xia He's contemptuous eyes at all. Xue still smiled gently, and said, "Serving the lady is the duty of the concubine. ”
Meng Shi glanced at her with a smile. With a bit of intimacy in his tone, he said, "You, you're dead-eyed." ”
If it was in the past, even if she said no, Meng would still accept Xue's service, but today she went to Suotong Garden, she was really tired and annoying, she didn't want to get along with Xue, and now she just wanted to go back to her room to rest.
But if she directly lets Xue leave, it seems that she is too petty.
She had just returned from Suotong Garden, and if her attitude towards the Xue clan was different from the past, she would definitely provoke some gossip.
Thinking like this in his heart, Meng Shi pretended to be disgusted and said: "If you still think about serving me, don't come to me in the future, it won't make people think that I treat and oppress you harshly and treat you as a servant!" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare!" Xue's expression stiffened slightly, and he was busy explaining with fear.
I was shocked, how could Meng Shi know that she had this thought?
Xia He thought well, Xue had the intention of winning An Shiyan's favor with the Meng family, and at the same time, she also wanted to use this to discredit the Meng family and make people think that the Meng family was mean.
It can only be said that it was a mistake, Meng just didn't want Xue to stay, but he didn't want to just break Xue's careful thoughts.
Not noticing the panic flashing in Xue's eyes, Meng smiled and said, "Since you don't dare, then go back and rest." Her eyes swept to An Ruoxian, who was on the side, and she changed her words again: "Or, you sit with Xian'er, I think you also have a lot to say." ”
Without waiting for Xue and An Ruoxian to say something, she continued: "Xian'er, you can take Aunt Xue to your room to sit down." ”
At the moment, she didn't want to see An Ruoxian, not only to drive away the two people she didn't want to see at once, but also to show her own virtuous generosity, Meng Shi was very satisfied with the idea she suddenly came up with.
Although An Ruoxian complained a little about Meng at the moment, she was still more willing to stay with Meng than Xue, but Meng had already opened her mouth, and she couldn't do anything to disobey her mother, so she had to get up and bow her head: "Then Xian'er won't bother her mother, Xian'er will retire first." ”
Blessed with a blessed body, she was the first to go out.
Xue has always been "submissive" in front of Meng, and immediately left with An Ruoxian.
As soon as the two left, Meng Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It can be regarded as leaving." ”
Hearing this, Xia He half-lowered his eyes, and talked so much, it turned out that Mrs. just wanted Aunt Xue and Miss Ten to leave.
Meng Shi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior, but sighed: "Since Lan'er passed to the big house, I have fewer and fewer opportunities to meet and get along with Lan'er, and my sister-in-law looks at Lan'er very strictly. ”
The implication was that the Murong clan did not let her meet An Ruolan.
Xia He had learned enough lessons, and he didn't dare to interject rashly at this time, so he only responded with silence.
Meng Shi disagreed, frowned deeply, and said worriedly: "Now that Lan'er has handed over all the private rooms to my sister-in-law for safekeeping, I am always a little worried. ”
Xia He didn't dare to answer these words, and only answered vaguely.
Meng Shi also spoke energetically, and said: "Look at the sister-in-law is good to Lan'er, but I don't know what will happen in the future, the heir is not the same daughter after all, I just hope that the sister-in-law can have some intentions for Lan'er." ”
I believe that Mrs. Shizi will be more attentive than Mrs. Fifth - Xia He replied silently in his heart.
"Sister-in-law loves Lan'er very much, but she is too spoiled and too maintained, and in the long run, Lan'er's temperament will definitely become more domineering. This is not a good thing, as the saying goes, 'parents are sons, and they have far-reaching plans', the sister-in-law did not think about Lan'er, thinking that blindly maintaining love is good for Lan'er. ”
Thinking about what happened to Fang just now in Suotong Garden, dissatisfaction flashed quickly in Meng's eyes, and the well-shaped willow eyebrows furrowed slightly. The autumn-like eyes floated with sorrow.
She thought. Lan'er is not very willing to listen to her now, if she is disciplined by her sister-in-law in the future, I am afraid she will not even be able to scream.
How can Lan'er continue to listen to her?
She really didn't worry about letting her sister-in-law keep her private room for Lan'er. She was worried that those things would become Sister Jin's dowry in the future.
Meng Shi fell silent, full of thoughts.
Xia He remained silent and stood quietly aside.
On the other hand, An Ruoxian took the Xue family back to the east wing of Xinyue Garden.
An Ruoxian hadn't been alone with the Xue family for a long time. Since he met An Wenjun outside the house, he was warned by An Wenjun. The Xue family also alienated her, and it was obvious that An Wenjun asked the Xue family to do this.
She wasn't sure if An Wenjun was recklessly reckless, and she had been very worried in her heart. I was afraid that An Wenjun would shake this matter out, until now, because An Wenjun has not moved. She slowly relaxed her heart, and was suddenly alienated from the Xue family. She didn't care, and even, she couldn't wait to draw a line with the Xue family like this, and never get along.
She was afraid of An Wenjun and looked down on the Xue family at all.
Back in the room, standing on her own turf, An Ruoxian felt much more relaxed, she retreated, walked straight to the table and sat down, did not greet Xue, and asked directly: "If you have something, just say it, go back if it's okay." ”
The tone was full of impatience and disdain.
Xue squinted at her, and a gloomy color flashed in her eyes, but she didn't break out, only suppressed: "In this case, I'll go back." ”
With that, turn around and leave.
"Wait!" An Ruoxian suddenly stopped her.
Even if he didn't want to deal with it, but in the end it was his daughter, Xue still stopped, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
An Ruoxian didn't look at her either, lowered her eyes and slowly turned the teacup in her hand, and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that my brother is very good at reading, and he has been very popular with his grandfather recently?" ”
"So what?" Xue frowned.
"......" An Ruoxian pursed the corners of her lips vigorously, as if she was trying her best to endure something, and then said in a low voice: "Brother is enjoying happiness in the front yard, don't you care about my aunt and me?" ”
The hand on the table clenched into a fist, if it weren't for the difficult situation now, she didn't want to bow her head to Xue and An Wenjun.
Grandfather punished her to go back to the room for reflection, that is, she banned her feet, and there was no time limit, she couldn't stay in the room all the time and couldn't do anything!
Xue Shi looked at her deeply, and for a long time evoked a sneer, and said, "When you first entered the Hou Mansion, your situation was many times better than your brother, have you ever pulled your brother?" ”
Without waiting for her to answer, Xue continued: "Wen Jun has already told me that the Tao is not the same, since you brothers and sisters have different opinions, you will take care of each other in the future and do not interfere with each other." ”
"But he's my brother!" An Ruoxian was angry and stared at her eyes in disbelief.
In the original text, An Wenjun took such a big advantage of An Ruoxian, and now An Wenjun doesn't care about her?! Anyway, the body she is using now is still the original, so she is An Wenjun's sister by blood!
"Didn't you tell Wen Jun to leave you alone?" Xue asked mercilessly, his heart dripping blood.
At some point, she became more and more estranged from her daughter, and by the time she found out, her daughter had completely changed and became a person she didn't even know.
An Ruoxian couldn't refute, gritted her teeth, and she screamed: "In the final analysis, we are all here to revitalize the Xue family, as long as the Xue family can stand up, even if what I do is different from what I originally planned?" My brother doesn't care about me, don't you care either? If you do this to me, uncle, they won't agree! ”
I thought that if I moved out of the two uncles of the Xue family, the Xue family would regress and say good things to An Wenjun for her, but I didn't want the Xue family to be fooled at all, and said sharply: "Don't use your two uncles to press me!" Wen Jun finally got the appreciation of the old marquis, I won't let his efforts fall short, and I believe your two uncles won't agree! ”
Flicked his sleeves and left, Xue had no nostalgia.
An Ruoxian bit her lower lip hard, the red satin table top was wrinkled by her, she gritted her teeth and said, "One day, you will kneel and beg me!" (To be continued) R655
