Nangong Xiu silently dialed walnuts for Mrs. Jiang on the side, but after listening to her unceremonious criticism of Nalan Bing, there was no too much surface, and the momentum and presence of the whole person were very low.

The old man listened to Mrs. Jiang's words, and felt quite unhappy, it was she who took the initiative to recruit Nalan Bing to sit beside her, this Mrs. Jiang, on the surface, criticized Nalan Bing for not understanding the rules, but in fact, it was just the main reflection of her, the old lady's face changed slightly.

For a long time, because Mrs. Jiang was friendly with the Queen Mother, and she was holding the dragon head crutch given by the first emperor, and she was indeed heroic when she was young, plus the Nangong family's own family background did not know how much higher than the Nalan family, the old lady always felt inferior to her in front of her, this feeling made the old lady look down on Mrs. Jiang for a long time, and now coupled with the harm that Nangong Ning and Nangong Yao had done to the Nalan family, the old lady was eager to get along with her old and dead, but because of the number of etiquette and the face of the loyal and brave marquis, she had to treat each other with courtesy, I didn't expect people to appreciate it at all, and they spoke unceremoniously.

Nalan Bing smiled coldly, no matter how smart and shrewd a person is, he has his own flaws and weaknesses, these flaws and weaknesses usually don't feel anything, but once they are mastered by the enemy, they will become a sharp weapon in the hands of the enemy, she thinks she probably knows the flaws and weaknesses of Old Taijun Jiang.

Nalan Bing patted the old lady's hand, signaling her not to be angry, and walked lightly to Nangong Xiu's side with an empty plate from the small table beside the old lady, pretending to be unintentional: "Mother, grandmother also likes to eat walnuts, mother pulls it for grandmother, and Xiao Wu dials it for grandmother." ”

After finishing speaking, he divided half of the walnuts on Nangong Xiu's table and put them on the empty plate in his hand, then turned around and returned to the old lady's side, ignoring Jiang Lao Taijun's white eyes and Nangong Xiu's slight startle, and said while pulling the walnuts: "Grandmother, don't blame Xiao Wu for not understanding the rules. Xiao Wu grew up beside his mother since he was a child, and his style of behavior completely obeyed his mother's teachings, and over time, it was inevitable that he would behave like his mother. After more than ten years of hearing and seeing, if you want to be a girl who understands the rules again, you can't do it overnight, hey, Xiao Wu is also very distressed. ”

The old lady listened to Nalan Bing's words, swept her gloom, happily took the walnut kernels sent by Nalan Bing, and chewed them carefully.

When Mrs. Jiang heard her words, she breathed a sullen breath in her heart. She naturally knew that the mother Nalan Bing was talking about was her dead daughter Nangong Ning. Nangong Ning's death, because the evidence of her poisoning the old lady is conclusive, no matter how sad she is, no matter how sad she is, she can't find the fault of the Nalan family, and there is no way to seek justice for her daughter. For many years, no one dared to be so presumptuous in front of her, even if the emperor saw her, he had to call her a prince, what is she.

Mrs. Jiang lightly stomped the dragon head crutch in her hand, "What a clever little girl." As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the daughter born of pheasants is hugged to the phoenix's nest, but it is only a pheasant. ”

When the old lady heard Mrs. Jiang sarcastically mocking her Nalan family's ancestral root pheasant, her face was embarrassed and ugly, and she just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Nalan Bing with a look.

Then Nalan Bing smiled as if he had heard some funny joke and said proudly: "Hmm! That's a good saying, Zugen. It seems that the reason why the phoenix will die in prison and in the palace is also because Zugen is like this, and he will kill himself if he commits many injustices. It is precisely because of this that the pheasant is content to be a pheasant, disdainful of learning from the phoenix, not obediently reborn in Nirvana, always delusional to transform into a dragon, trying to master everything, but never thought that in the end, he lost his knot, lost his life, and it was a void. Then she deliberately emphasized, "Hey, Zugen is like that! ”

After listening to Nalan Bing's words, the old lady wanted to laugh and felt that she still had to save some face for Mrs. Jiang, so she could only hold back her smile and look at Mrs. Jiang's face that was instantly blue.

Nangong Xiu didn't expect that Nalan Bing, who had always been polite, would speak so unceremoniously today, and was a little surprised, but he still didn't say anything.

Old Taijun Jiang finally raised her eyes, suppressed her anger, and looked at Nalan Bing, she was quite beautiful, but compared to Yu'er and others, it was still a little worse, but between her eyebrows and eyes, she was heroic and extraordinary. She is as tricky and eccentric as the legend, but she reacts extremely quickly.

Old Taijun Jiang sneered angrily, "Huangkou Xiaoer, dare to be so rude, without any family education, looking at you, you can know what the family style of the Marquis of Zhongyong is."

Mrs. Su, it's not early today, the old body is going back, Xiu'er will be handed over to you, and now she is also a first-class woman, your Nalan family can't deceive her.

We'll see you in three days, and I hope the pheasant will have the courage to step into the phoenix's nest.

Leave! ”

After Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, she turned around and left without looking back.

The old lady was annoyed that she was too arrogant, and she didn't get up to see her off, but just watched her leave slowly with great dissatisfaction.

It was Nangong Xiu, who saluted the old lady and hurriedly sent the old lady away.

Nalan Bing looked at the old lady with some puzzlement and said, "Three days later? ”

The old lady took out a delicate gilded invitation, and after Nalan Bing took it, she hurriedly glanced at it. It turned out that three days later was Mrs. Jiang's 60th birthday.

Nalan Bing looked at it carefully, gently put down the invitation, thought for a moment and said: "Xiao Wu is a little strange, such an invitation Nangong family can just send someone to come, why would Mrs. Jiang personally send it over." ”

Hearing Nalan Bing say this, the old lady also looked at the invitation card quite strangely, and then thought for a while: "It should be for Nangong Xiu!" If she hadn't come today, how could her grandmother have lifted her ban so easily. ”

Nalan Bing shook her head, her intuition told her that it was not, if she really wanted to lift the ban on Nangong Xiu, she didn't have to invite her, with the identity and status of Mrs. Jiang, she only needed to call her father to Nangong's house, no matter how kind she said, her father would not refuse, why did she need to go on this trip. Especially the words before she left, it was clear that she was motivated to go to her birthday banquet, was it for another purpose, or was it just a coincidence?

The old lady looked at Nalan Bing's thoughtful appearance and wondered, "Xiao Wu thinks that's not the case?" ”

Nalan Bing nodded, "Xiao Wu always feels that something is wrong, but don't be afraid, the soldiers will come, the water will come to cover the earth, and in three days, Xiao Wu will accompany his grandmother to go together." ”

The old lady nodded silently.

Three days flew by.

Nalan Bing got up early in the morning to freshen up.
