Jian Xiulin said that, and then Yao Man didn't see anyone for a morning, and no one sent the child over, so he slowly forgot about it after a long time.

It's just that when it was almost noon, an uninvited guest came to the Evening Bamboo Garden.

"Madam, my cousin has come here with the young master."

"Cousin?" Yao Man didn't realize who the "cousin girl" in Qinglian's mouth was at first, and she was stunned for a moment, but she soon reacted.

Yang Lanqing, the twelve girls of the Yang family.

When Qinglian came in to report, Yao Man was crookedly leaning on the Luohan bed to read a book, and put the book on the small table next to him while talking, and the person also sat up, "Hurry up and let the cousin come in, otherwise the house will know that the cousin has been wronged by me in a while." ”

Yao Man's voice was not deliberately suppressed, Yang Lanyang, who was standing outside the door, heard it clearly, she bit her lip lightly, the smile on her face remained the same, but her face was a little whiter than usual.

"Girl, how can the second lady say that?" The maid who followed Yang Lanqing was assigned to her by Mrs. Jian after she came to the Guogong Mansion, and she thought that she was the maid next to the old lady, and she felt that she was a level higher than the others, "What the old lady said is right, the second lady is really uneducated." ”

The maid's voice was low, and only their master and servant could hear it, but neither of them noticed that Jian Huan, who had been following along, suddenly raised his head and glanced at the two of them.

"Be cautious, the second cousin is joking, don't take it seriously."

"Girl, you're just too kind-hearted." The maid pouted, where is the second lady joking?

But the maid was not stupid, she kept her mouth shut and didn't say any more.

Seeing that the surroundings were quiet so quickly, a trace of disappointment flashed in Yang Lanqing's eyes.

It was just a matter of two sentences, and as soon as they quieted down, Qinglian came out, called "cousin", and turned sideways to signal them to go in.

Yang Lanqing naturally didn't come by himself, in addition to bringing one, he was also accompanied by Jian Huan, who refused to be hugged by his mother-in-law and had to go by himself, followed by a mother-in-law who was holding a child who was more than a year old.

When the group entered the door, Yang Lanqing saw Yao Man sitting lazily on the couch at a glance, and the faint sunlight behind her spilled in, which happened to fall on her, which made people feel dazzling for a while.

Yang Lanqing couldn't help but be jealous in her heart, she was just from a good background, and she was born as the daughter of the Yao family, but in addition to her identity, what point could she compare to this woman.

No matter how well she disguised it, she was so young that she inevitably showed a little bit, Yao Man saw her little caution clearly, smiled in her heart, and was about to speak, when she suddenly felt that her clothes were being ripped off.

lowered his head and looked at Jian Huan's fleshy face, looking at her with a pair of apricot eyes, "Stepmother." ”

Hearing Jian Huan's title, Yang Lanqing's eyes changed, and he hurriedly said before Yao Man: "Sister Huan, the second cousin is your mother, if you are not happy, you can't call your mother like that." ”

Yang Lanqing said as he used his spare eyes to look at Yao Man's expression, wanting to see her reaction.

However, Yao Man didn't notice Yang Lanqing's strange appearance, she lowered her head, her eyes fell on Jian Huan's face, although there were a lot of lights in the room last night, but it was not daytime.

Now she looked at Jian Huan's good complexion carefully, but she agreed with Qinglian's words.

Her deceased lobby sister was so kind.

Jian Huan is a concubine, her aunt had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her, and she was gone in her lifetime, so Jian Huan has been raised by her side since she was a child, and it is obvious that the other party has indeed raised her well.

Seeing that Yao Man didn't speak for a long time, Yang Lanqing's eyes darkened, and he spoke again: "Second cousin-in-law, Sister Huan is still young, don't worry about her, blame me if you want to blame." ”

"Huh? What do you say? ”

Yao Man raised his head, met Yang Lanqing's gaze, and gouged out his ears.
