The old lady looked her up and down, and when she saw that she had come back without missing arms or legs, the big stone in her heart was finally put down. But he still had a straight face, "You still know to come back." ”

"Grandmother, I was wrong, I won't dare next time......" Xu Jiayi flattered and behaved, coquettish, the old lady could hold back at first, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, raised her hand and nodded Xu Jiayi's eyebrows, "You girl, you can't be angry......"

The old lady was pretending, where was she willing to really punish Xu Jiayi.

Xu Jiayi accompanied the old lady to prune some flower branches, and personally inserted a bouquet of flower arrangements to give to the old lady to please, seeing that the old lady was tired, she came out of Wan'an Hall.

When she got out of the courtyard gate of Wan'an Hall, the smile on Xu Jiayi's face disappeared immediately, and she couldn't help but sneer lightly, and quietly lifted her injured foot.

Xiangqiao hurriedly stepped forward to support Xu Jiayi, and said distressedly, "Just now, the girl has been holding back and not letting the old lady see it, but now I'm afraid that the injury is more serious." Girl, the slave will help you back. ”

"It's okay," Xu Jiayi felt that the pain had subsided a little, "Go back quickly." ”

As soon as she returned to Jiaxi Garden, Xiangqiao took off her shoes and socks for Xu Jiayi, and when she saw that her ankles were swollen even more, she couldn't help but gasp, "Girl, the slave maid should go and ask a doctor to come and take a look at you." ”

Before Xu Jiayi could object, Xiang Qiao hurriedly added, "Don't worry, girl, you won't let others look at you." ”

Xu Jiayi shook her head, her eyes fell on the porcelain vase on the dresser, and her mind suddenly recalled the man she met outside the city today, and she was a little dazed. It wasn't until Xiangqiao called her a few times that she reacted, raised her finger and pointed, "Just smear some of the medicine in that porcelain bottle." ”

Xiangqiao followed Xu Jiayi's line of sight and saw a white porcelain vase resting on the dresser. Glancing back at Xu Jiayi's expression, seeing that she was in a trance, he nodded and took the porcelain bottle, carefully applied it to her ankles, and slowly kneaded it to let the medicinal effect fuse.

Xu Jiayi had fallen asleep in bed not long after dinner, and I don't know if it was because she was too tired or injured. When Xu Jiayi woke up in the early morning of the second day, it was already three poles of the sun, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she felt that the sun was dazzling, and she subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes.

After a few moments, he adjusted to the intensity of the sunlight, and then slowly removed his hand.

"The girl woke up," Yuan Xiang came in with hot water, soaked the handkerchief and twisted it, and handed it to Xu Jiayi, "The girl was tired yesterday, and she didn't have to go to school in Chunhui Hall today, so she explained to the maids below to prevent them from disturbing the girl's rest." ”

Xu Jiayi took the handkerchief, wiped her face and handed it back to Yuanxiang, lifted the quilt and sat up, inadvertently swept her ankle when she put on her shoes, and found that the swelling had subsided, and her ankle didn't hurt anymore, so she couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

It worked well, and the man didn't lie to her.

After getting up, I walked around the yard, and saw that the flowers and plants in the yard were quite savage, so Xu Jiayi asked Yuan Xiang to come over with scissors and prune the flowers and plants with her own hands.

The flowers and plants in the yard are planted according to Xu Jiayi's preferences, in addition to watering and fertilizing on weekdays, Xu Jiayi does not allow others to prune, and will only tidy up when she has time. Over the years, Xu Jiayi has also cultivated a different scenery.

Xu Jiayi's flowers and plants were only one-third of the building, and Lan Xue in Wang Yunxiu's house hurriedly ran in from outside. It wasn't too hot today, but she was sweating profusely.

Seeing that she was so tired that she hurriedly went into the house and poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, telling her not to worry, and then talk slowly after drinking tea. But Lan Xue shook her head and rejected Yuanxiang's kindness, and knelt on the ground with a pop, her eyes filled with tears, "Cousin, please go to the Splendid Pavilion to persuade my girl." ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Jiayi continued to prune the flower branches, but when she heard Lan Xue's voice was wrong, she turned around and saw that her face was not right, so she hurriedly asked.

"Early this morning, the prince of Gu Hou's Mansion is going to come to find the eldest lady, because the eldest lady returned to her parents' house yesterday and has not returned to the house. The prince came to the Splendid Pavilion to see my girl. ”

"Who knew that as soon as the prince met, he kept saying that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage, and said that he already had a sweetheart, and he didn't want to be wronged and deceived my girl. said that if my girl is a wise person, the marriage will be nullified. In addition to these, he also said a lot of poignant things. My girl didn't have time to say a word, and the prince turned around and left. ”

Now the girl has been crying in the house for a long time, and she will not speak to us. The slave and maid really have no way to come to your cousin, my girl has the best relationship with you in the past day, and my girl will listen to your advice. ”

Hearing this, Xu Jiayi's brows tightened, and she didn't pay attention to the scissors in her hand, and accidentally pierced her palm, and the scissors fell to the ground quickly as soon as she shook her hand. Xu Jiayi subconsciously reached out to catch it, the scissors slid through her fingertips, and fell directly to the ground without catching it, making a crisp sound of "pop".

Xiangqiao's face changed suddenly, and she exclaimed, "Girl! ”

The surrounding maids were also startled by this sound, and Lan Xue's face turned pale in shock, "Cousin girl......"

Xu Jiayi came back to her senses, waved her hand expressionlessly, and asked the maid to clean up the scissors and residual flowers on the ground.

Xiangqiao hurriedly stepped forward to check Xu Jiayi's palm, and was relieved to see that she was not injured, "The girl can't do this next time, what if she is injured." ”

Xu Jiayi didn't care if her hand was injured or not, and after listening to Lan Xue's words, she laughed angrily, "He Gu Tong doesn't want to marry his cousin, and I'm not happy for my cousin to marry him!" Now that he has deceived Shangshu Mansion, he really can't do it when there is no one in Shangshu Mansion! ”

Now no one in Yanjing City knows that the Hubu Shangshu Mansion and the Guhou Mansion intend to marry.

The two families even took the birthday of both parties quietly and combined, just waiting for Wang Yunxiu and Xu, Gu Houfu will come to issue a letter of appointment.

Unexpectedly, my cousin's ceremony has not yet been held, but Gu Tong has come to Shangshu Mansion to withdraw from the marriage!

Xu Jiayi's mind suddenly thought of her titular father Xu Mingda, and her face was even more ugly, but the man really didn't

There's a good thing!

Let Lan Xue go to the Splendid Pavilion to serve first, and after pruning the flower branches before, she soiled her clothes, and after Xu Jiayi went back to the house to change one, she rushed to the Splendid Pavilion non-stop.

Gu Hou Mansion

Mrs. Gu Hou was talking with her grandmother in the house, and a maid came in outside to say that the son of the world had returned.

Seeing Gu Tong coming back, Mrs. Gu Hou was a little surprised, stood up with a smile and pulled Gu Tong to speak, "Today is not the day of rest, why didn't you come back from studying in Guozijian, but what is the important matter?" ”

"Yes, the son has one thing he wants to ask his mother." Gu Tong nodded, and after helping Mrs. Gu Hou to sit down, he knelt in front of Mrs. Gu Hou with a "poof", which made Mrs. Gu Hou stunned, "What do you tell your mother about, what is this?" Get up. ”

The son was raised by himself since he was a child, and his temperament couldn't be clearer, seeing Gu Tong kneeling, he knew that this matter was not simple, and it must be a big deal.

Gu Tong refused Mama's support, knelt on the ground and said stubbornly, "If the mother agrees to her son's request, the son will get up again." ”

"Tell me what it is." Glancing at Gu Tong, Mrs. Gu Hou waved her hand slightly and let Mama retreat. He reached for the hot tea on the table and took a sip.

"Mother, the son wants to ask his mother to dissolve the marriage contract with the girl of the Wang family in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion." As soon as Gu Tong's words fell, Mrs. Gu Hou's face changed instantly, but Gu Tong continued as if she hadn't seen it, "My son already has someone to rejoice, and now she has her son's flesh and blood, and her son wants to take her back to the house." ”

After listening to what Gu Tong said, Mrs. Gu Hou had already drunk half of the tea in her mouth so frightened that she vomited back, half choked in her throat and kept coughing, and put the tea cup on the table, making a heavy muffled sound. Such an impolite action, if it weren't for Mrs. Gu Hou's anger at this time, she would definitely not be able to do it.

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" waved her hand to let the maid who was comfortable with her retreat, and Mrs. Gu Hou stared at Gu Tong who was kneeling on the ground with a fierce face, "What did you say?!" ”

Gu Tong said again, "Mother, Peony is pregnant with Liujia, and it is inconvenient to be outside, so it is better to take people back to the house to take care of them earlier." ”

"Who is Peony? Which girl? ”

Mrs. Gu Hou's chest rose and fell angrily, and she went through the time in her mind which girl's name was Peony. However, even if she thought about it again, she couldn't figure out who this peony was.

What kind of girl was taught to do such a self-depraved and shameless thing!

hasn't left the cabinet yet, but even has a child!

Gu Tong paused, and only replied slowly under Mrs. Gu Hou's fierce face, "Peony is not the daughter of any family, she is the singer of Qingyue Fang." ”

Gu Tong knelt on the ground, making it clear that if Mrs. Gu Hou disagreed, she would kneel on the ground and not get up.

"Son! You son of a! Mrs. Gu Hou stretched out her hand and pointed at Gu Tong who was kneeling on the ground, she was so angry that she couldn't stand steadily, and was supported by the maid next to her, "How did I give birth to a son like you!" You are now threatening your mother like this for the sake of a fireworks woman! ”

"Mother!" Seeing that Mrs. Gu Hou was angry, Gu Tong was a little worried, but after hearing her last sentence, she swallowed back her words of concern, and replied with a wooden face, "Peony, she has an innocent background, she is clean, and she is not as unbearable as you said." ”

After a pause, Gu Tong added again, "My son knows that his mother will not agree, so before returning home, he has already gone to Shangshu Mansion to make it clear to the girl of the Wang family that I want to divorce her." ”

Hearing this, the maid who was waiting in the house knelt down in fright, but Gu Tong always stiffened her neck and said to Mrs. Gu Hou, without feeling that she was wrong at all.

"Son! If you don't want to be embarrassed, I still want to be embarrassed, you dare to go to Shangshu Mansion to mess around! ”
