Chapter 36: Self-Knowledge

Song Lingyue recuperated for a few days, and finally got a good idea, so she took the time to go to the backyard of the main house, although she couldn't see the eldest lady, but she heard her still lively and powerful shouts outside, and she was clamoring to go out, it seems that she is all right, and Song Lingyue can finally rest assured.

Early this morning, Song Lingyue still followed everyone to the main room to ask for peace, a few times, Song Lingyue was already familiar with it, the so-called please peace, in fact, is very simple, but everyone has arrived, together to say hello to the old lady and the old lady, the old lady and the old lady are in charge of family affairs, and take advantage of the people to ask about the affairs of each hospital.

The old lady had nothing to explain, and left the main hall after saying a few words, and went out for a walk, after the old lady finished speaking, she was about to let everyone disperse, Song Lingyue was about to turn around and leave, so she heard the second old man in front of her ask the old lady with a sharp voice.

"Mother, this Miss Song has been coming to our house for a long time, and she has also asked for peace a few times, but I always feel unreasonable, the people we invite are all the children and grandchildren of the family, what is the identity of this outsider?"

Everyone who was about to disperse suddenly stopped, and looked at Song Lingyue one after another, Xia Yeqing was not ready to leave, but when he heard this, he said to the second master with a smile: "Second uncle, since Xiaoyue came to ask for peace, she is naturally the same generation as us, can't the second uncle tell the difference?" ”

"I ......" The second master was choked for a moment, his eyes stared for a long time, and finally he figured out a sentence, twisted his neck and said: "Yeqing, what you said, second uncle, I can't tell the generation?" I'm talking about identity, outsiders are outsiders, whether to treat them as a lady at home, or what to treat them, there must be something to say! ”

Xia Yeqing's ink-colored coat opened the collar, and one hand was inserted diagonally into his pocket, looking at him for a long time, "What does the second uncle want to think of her, I also want to hear it." ”

The second master saw him obstructing three times and twice, and suddenly became impatient, and said with a sigh: "I said Yeqing, I asked your grandmother!" What do you mean by always interrupting me, you are trying to protect her, you are a man with a wife, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

Xia Yeqing frowned, what he said made him quite disliking to listen, and before he wanted to say something, the old lady stopped him, "Yeqing, what your second uncle said is also true, Miss Song is so happy every day, it is indeed inappropriate, and my wife can't stand it, in my opinion, from tomorrow, I won't use it, just stay in your east courtyard with peace of mind." ”

"Grandmother!" Xia Yeqing gritted her teeth, and her tone was obviously impatient.

The old lady raised her voice, "Okay, for the sake of an outsider, let your uncle and nephew have a dispute, don't be afraid of people watching jokes, it's nothing, let's disperse!" Yeqing, go to the backyard to see your mother, don't rush back. ”

Xia Yeqing was helpless, so she had to nod, "Yes, grandmother, I'll go now." ”

Song Lingyue watched it for a long time as if she was watching a play, obviously talking about her, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with her, as if she was a person who could be disposed of at will, which made her extremely uncomfortable, and she moved forward, wanting to take the opportunity to talk about her leaving, after all, the old lady agreed, and she could talk about it when she knelt in the snow.

"Old lady, I want to ask ......"

"What do you ask?" Xia Yeqing's cold gaze swept over her, cut off her words, and said in a tough tone: "The old lady is tired, you want to rest, you go to see the eldest lady with the warm pavilion in my backyard, you are in trouble, don't think it didn't happen." ”

The old lady was very satisfied with Xia Yeqing's disposition, nodded, turned around and went to the back, and never had a chance to talk to Song Lingyue again.

Song Lingyue stood in place, looking at Xia Yeqing with resentful eyes, complaining about him, and interrupting anyone's words, he was really used to being an official.

The second master walked out with his wife and children, and when he passed by Song Lingyue's side, he said to Song Lingyue in a strange manner: "Miss Song, don't blame me for being more serious, our Xia family has many rules, I'm afraid you won't understand, this is also for your good." ”

Song Lingyue couldn't understand his words, but seeing his shrewd face, the corners of his mouth raised with a hint of sarcasm, knowing that there was definitely no kindness behind him, he smiled stiffly, "What the second master said is that he has been taught!" ”

The second old man was stunned, and his mouth "hissed", and the second wife saw that he was confused by a little girl's words, so she couldn't help but glance at him, pretending to be disgusted with him, but in fact she was telling Song Lingyue.

"Look at you, the second master of the dignified Xia family, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette, what are you talking about with the eldest lady of the family, you have nothing to do?"

The second master glanced at Song Lingyue contemptuously, and walked away with his wife arrogantly, Xia Ke followed closely behind, but he didn't say anything.

Xia Yejin followed behind, and originally walked to the door, half of her body leaned back, looked at Song Lingyue, and said with bad intentions: "Miss Song, you are really capable, your face has become like this, and you can let my eldest brother protect you, hehe!" ”

Song Lingyue looked at this strange family, and shook her head helplessly, sure enough, it is not a family that does not enter the door, but this summer night hibiscus is far worse than Xia Yeqing, not to mention that there is no similarity in appearance, and there is no similarity in personality, but it is very similar to his father, full of philistines.

The people in the hall dispersed, and several young children didn't know what was going on, and they said goodbye to Song Lingyue very enthusiastically before leaving, but they were dragged away by their mothers, for fear that if they were contaminated with Song Lingyue, they would be contaminated with misfortune.

Song Lingyue stood in the hall, at a loss, she just came to ask for peace as usual, and she didn't know who to provoke, as if overnight, she became the enemy of everyone, everyone looked at her unpleasantly, and if she didn't ridicule her, she would suffer.

Xia Yeqing walked over, glanced at her with a frown, threw his coat to her, and said coldly: "What are you doing in a daze, help me take my clothes and go to the backyard." ”

Song Lingyue nodded indifferently, hugged his coat, and followed out of the main hall.

It was very cold outside, Xia Yeqing was only wearing a cashmere shirt, his body was straight, as if he couldn't feel the slightest cold, his long legs were walking fast, and Song Lingyue couldn't keep up with the trot all the way.

"Chief Xia, I don't understand, why don't you let me tell the old lady? I would have had a chance. Song Lingyue was still thinking about what had happened just now, and asked out of breath.

Xia Yeqing suddenly stopped, Song Lingyue almost hit him, and he stumbled for a moment before he stood firm, Xia Yeqing turned around, stretched out a finger and pointed at Song Lingyue's forehead, and said fiercely: "How many times have I told you, that incident strangled me to death in my head, do you know the meaning of the old lady's words?" ”

Song Lingyue shook her head, "Isn't it just that you won't let you ask for peace?" What will it mean. ”

Xia Yeqing stroked her forehead weakly, "In this mansion, except for my mother and wife, only the subordinates don't need to ask for peace, you have no qualifications to go to the main hall, and if you want to talk to the old lady about leaving, don't even think about it." ”

"Huh?" Song Lingyue was deflated, hugged Xia Yeqing's coat, took a few steps back, and leaned against the courtyard wall, it turned out to be this meaning, no wonder Xia Yeqing wanted to defend her, it seemed that she had wronged him.

She is not afraid of people at the moment, but if she doesn't have the opportunity to meet the old lady, isn't there no hope for leaving?

Xia Yeqing looked at her disappointed eyes, and felt unhappy for no reason, is it so uncomfortable to stay in the Xia family? One hand against the wall, enclosing Song Lingyue in front of him, he didn't even realize that this posture was a little too intimate.

"I find you really interesting, sometimes you seem to be very shrewd, sometimes you are a stupid mess, I raided an underground exchange a few days ago, I know most of your things clearly, if I were you, I would find a way to stay in the Xia family, no matter how bad the Xia family is, it is much better than being sold again."

Xia Yeqing seemed to be in too much of a hurry, so he couldn't help but stop, turned his head sideways and took a deep breath, turned around again, and his gaze became deep, "Next time I am sold, maybe I won't be so lucky." ”

Song Lingyue tightly protected the coat on her chest, looked at him with big watery eyes, and looked at him up close, his facial features were more refined, with a faint green stubble on his chin, highlighting a hint of masculinity, a pair of sharp eyes, the whole person was cold, and handsome and extraordinary.

When he spoke, his body approached unconsciously, and a faint man's fragrance on his body floated into Song Lingyue's nose, Song Lingyue's heart panicked, and subconsciously avoided his gaze, and his heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't calm down.

Xia Yeqing didn't notice her abnormality, took a step back, and tilted her head to her, "Okay, don't hesitate, follow me to see my mother, and then stay in the East Courtyard honestly." He walked over.

Song Lingyue stood outside for a long time before she calmed down, secretly feeling that she was thinking too much, he was the chief of customs, she was just the daughter of a down-and-out family, she should be self-aware, and she would not humiliate herself, shook her head, shook off her chaotic thoughts, and trotted in.
