Lin Mumu took a sip of tea and stood up and said, "You haven't heard you mention it after following me for so long, so I asked curiously, it's almost time to eat, you eat less." ”

"The slave knows."

Lin Mumu nodded and explained a few words before walking out of the house.

……

After the banquet, the queen left Xie Xinru alone and asked her about Xie Zhenyuan, and then rewarded her with a lot of things before people sent her back to Xie Mansion.

"Little Miss is back." As soon as Xie Xinru returned to Xie's mansion, a maid greeted her.

"Hmm." Xie Xinru responded without being salty. "Where's my dad? Haven't been to Xijing yet? ”

"The slave was about to tell the little lady that the third master had come back and was waiting for the little lady in Ronghui Courtyard."

"He's moving fast, let's go."

"Yes."

A quarter of an hour later, the maid took Xie Xinru to Ronghui Courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Xie Xinru smelled a scorching smell, and she pursed her lips with some disgust. "This useless old man is tinkering with his useless stuff again."

The maid didn't dare to answer when she heard this, so she led Xie Xinru outside the house and withdrew.

Xie Xinru kicked the door of the house.

"Uh-huh!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, a puff of black smoke came to her face, choking her back several steps.

"What are you doing, old man?"

The smoke cleared, and a man with a sloppy robe on his face that was blackened and his body was sloppy walked out of it and looked at Xie Xinru with a dejected face.

"My elixir of immortality has failed again."

Xie Xinru snorted disdainfully and walked in.

There was a mess in the house, and half of the house was blackened.

"You've been back for less than half a day and you've ruined people's houses like this, and you're not afraid of being kicked out."

Xie Zhenyuan swept the robe that was no longer colored, and walked to the chair and sat down in a gentle manner, not affected by the embarrassment around him at all.

"If anyone dares, I will refine him into a medicine boy." Xie Zhenyuanyun said lightly, as if he was saying that he wanted to eat chicken today.

Xie Xinru sat down opposite him, and casually played with a mutton fat jade pendant given to her by the queen, this pendant looks small but the color is excellent, it is not ordinary at first glance, but this expensive pendant is like a peanut in her hand, throwing it up and down at will.

"Your aunt is in a hurry to recall you back to Xijing, is she running out of medicine?"

Xie Xinru pouted and said, "It's almost the same, and I asked you if you made a better new gadget and asked me to send it to her." ”

Xie Zhenyuan picked up the teacup on the coffee table and was about to take a sip, when he looked down and saw that the teacup was full of black powder, so he put the teacup back on the coffee table in disgust. "There's a new thing, but I don't have any good herbs in my hands."

"My aunt is very clear in her heart, and the medicinal herbs have been brought back by me."

Xie Zhenyuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Didn't she let you go to the palace just for this?" Xie Zhenyuan rarely cared about anything other than the medicine refining accident.

"Of course it's not all, my aunt wants me to marry the king."

"The King?" Xie Zhenyuan was slightly surprised, Rao is not fond of the idle affairs of your circle, and he has also heard of Zhao Xuanling's name. "You promised?"

Xie Xinru grabbed the jade pendant in mid-air and grinned, revealing a harmless sweet smile. "Zhao Xuanling killed my ashes."

Xie Zhenyuan would not be deceived by Xie Xinru's sweet smile, he only felt that this famous royal king was afraid that he would be unlucky.

"Well, be more restrained, don't kill people, that's not an ordinary person after all."

Xie Xinru pursed her lips disappreciatively. "Then it depends on Miss Ben's mood."

After Xie Xinru returned home, a maid reported to Mrs. Xie.

Old Madam Xie's illness has improved a lot after insisting on Lin Mumu's Fang treatment, and under normal circumstances, it will not get sick, and without the torture of illness, Old Madam Xie's spirit is much fuller.

When the maid arrived in Mrs. Xie's yard, Mrs. Xie was practicing a set of Bagua boxing.

"Old lady, the little lady has returned from the palace."

Old Madam Xie exhaled slowly, and gradually retracted her movements.

Seeing this, the maid who was waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward with a brocade handkerchief.

Old Madam Xie took the Jinpa and wiped it as she walked into the hall.

The maid served hot tea.

Mrs. Xie took a sip before letting the maid who was passing the word into the house. Wave

"When did the little lady come back?"

"Old lady Hui, I came back two quarters of an hour ago, and the queen sent someone back."

Old Madam Xie's eyelids lifted. "Where's her father?"

"The third master will arrive at the house today."

"Bang!"

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Xie slapped her palm on the coffee table. "It's true that my mother died, and I didn't know how to come and see it when I came back!"

The maids in the house were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and the people in the house knew that the old lady was very dissatisfied with the actions of the third master over the years, but the old lady was helpless, every time the third master and the little lady left, although the old lady didn't say anything, but the things she would always eat in those days would be less than usual, and it must be false to say that she didn't care about it at all.

Now that the third master and the little lady have returned, but they haven't come to the old lady to say hello for so long, it is not surprising that the old lady will be angry.

Mrs. Xie waved away the maids in the house, leaving only Mama alone.

"Don't be angry, old lady, the third old man thinks that something has stumbled, and he will definitely come to greet you in a while." Mama said with relief.

is as strong as Mrs. Xie, and now when facing her son, her eyebrows are also helpless. "I don't know what his temperament is, he is worried about my old mother, he will come over as soon as he comes back, where will he wait until now, Hui'er didn't let me know in advance when they returned to Beijing this time, if I knew her plan, I would never agree." The queen's single name is a Hui character, and Mrs. Xie will only call her that in private.

"The old lady is talking about the royal ......"

Old Madam Xie nodded, who in Xijing didn't know about the royal king's concubine banquet, and the queen asked Xie Xinru to come back at this juncture, it must be for this matter.

"The old lady doesn't want the little lady to marry the king?"

Old Madam Xie nodded again.

"I know what Hui'er is thinking, but the king is not something we should be tainted with." Mrs. Xie asked Mama to take pen and ink and write a letter.

"You have this letter delivered to the queen at once."

"Yes, the old slave will go."

After sending the things to Xie Zhenyuan, Xie Xinru returned to his yard.

Xie Xinru pushed open the door and walked in, it was now the time to raise her eyes the most in the afternoon, but Xie Xinru's room was extremely dark and cold.

As soon as the maid who led Xie Xinru opened the door of the house, she exclaimed in fright, and stood stiff in place. "Ahh

Xie Xinru, who was playing with the puppet's pigtails, suddenly jumped at the sound of surprise and accidentally tore off a hair on the puppet's head, and the puppet's pupils shrank in displeasure.

"Get out of here!"

The maid came back to her senses violently and knelt down in front of Xie Xinru. "Little Miss forgives, little Miss forgives ......"

Xie Xinru lifted the maid's face on tiptoe.

The maid was so frightened that her whole body trembled, she was assigned by the eldest lady to serve the little lady temporarily, she was quite happy at first, after all, she was just an inferior maid who did rough work in the backyard before, and now it is a great blessing to be able to serve in front of the master, even if the little lady was not often in the house before, but she is the daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion, how can she be better than her to do those rough work.

But the strange thing is that when the old man next to her learned that she was going to serve the little lady, his eyes changed when he saw her, and he kindly persuaded her to pretend to be sick and not come, and she felt that those people were jealous that she could serve by Xiaoxiao's side.

But today she suddenly understood what that person meant, the little lady seemed to be simple and harmless, but there was a terrifying aura on her, just like now, she felt like a dying person in the eyes of the little lady.

Xie Xinru lowered her eyes and looked at the maid's face, pouting with some disgust. "It's too ugly." With that, she kicked the maid in the face.

"Hmm!"

The maid felt that the teeth in her mouth were falling out, and her tears were bursting out of her eyes, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Xie Xinru walked past her into the house, a humanoid puppet dressed in black was facing the door, and a closer look could be found that the puppet's body was sewn with cotton cloth and fine thread, but the face looked like a real person, or rather, like a dead person.

When the maid opened the door just now, she saw the pair of eyes of the puppet that looked like a real person, and she was startled.

Xie Xinru walked up to the humanoid puppet and touched the puppet's face with a happy face. "It's beautiful."

"Reimaru." She went to the chair and sat down with her personal maid.

"What do you command, little miss?"

"You immediately go to find out who the woman named Zhao Xuanling Uncle Wang is today."

Lingmaru was a little surprised when she heard this, Xie Xinru had never cared about the affairs of those boudoir ladies in Xijing in the past, but this time she took the initiative to let her investigate, but although she was puzzled, she still responded obediently. "It's the little lady, the slave will go."

The matter between Zhao Xuanling and Lin Mumu was not a secret in Xijing, and Lingmaru quickly told Xie Xinru the news he had discovered.

"Ahahahaha, hahahahaha......" Xie Xinru laughed out loud after hearing this, the puppet in her hand shook gently with her trembling body, and the blood-red mouth also split an upward arc.

"Oh, hahahaha, I really laughed to death, laughed at me, my uncle and nephew almost got married, this is the most ridiculous joke that Miss Ben has heard in all her years." Xie Xinru laughed for a while before relieving herself.

She wiped the tears from her eyes and sat up from the bed.

"A gray hui who dares to kill Miss Ben, and a person who dares to tease Miss Ben, Reimaru, what do you say Miss Ben is going to do with them?"

"Who does the young lady want to deal with first?"

Xie Xinru gently stroked the puppet's hair and smiled harmlessly.

"Miss Ben likes to pick soft persimmons and pinch them!"
