Chapter 17: Evil Begins with Envy

Xiao Shuangshuang glanced at her, his eyes looked straight at Xiao Siwen, and sneered, "Father, why are you and your mother unhappy?" Isn't the power of Prince Zhao enough to consolidate your position in the court? Or do you dislike Shuangshuang's low status as a husband and want Yan Yan to be the supreme queen of the Ninety-Five, so you can cling to it and be a prominent national ruler? ”

Xiao Siwen reprimanded sternly, "You bastard! Unfilial son! How can I, Xiao Siwen, have a daughter like you! He was furious, his chest heaving, and he was panting. Mrs. Xiao hurriedly stroked Xiao Siwen's chest and calmed his breath.

"Okay, okay, both of them are angry words, don't count." Mrs. Xiao explained in a low voice.

"I'm telling the truth, Zhao Wangfu will come to propose marriage in a few days," Xiao Shuangshuang's voice was raised higher, the dark night sky, the dim lantern firelight, her eyebrows and eyes became colder and colder, "Father and mother, your second elder will be angry and upset when he sees me, after I get married, you will be out of sight and out of mind, and please please remember the blood and family affection, and back up the dowry for Shuangshuang, after all, the daughter is carrying the name of Xiao Mansion." ”

It sounds like a deal between strangers.

Now not only Xiao Siwen, but Mrs. Xiao's heart also cooled, "You still remember that we are your father and mother?" What do you have in your eyes? ”

Xiao Siwen's anger did not subside, and he pointed at Xiao Shuangshuang, "Bone and blood family? How do you treat your sister? How do you treat your parents? From now on, you are not allowed to go anywhere! Come on, lock her in the room, and don't give her food or drink," Xiao Siwen glared at Xiao Shuangshuang angrily, "Look how you stepped out of the Xiao Mansion and married into the Zhao Wangfu!" ”

The two attendants approached Xiao Shuangshuang, Xiao Shuangshuang glared at them, the attendants took a step back, Xiao Shuangshuang said coldly, "In my father's eyes, I can't see Shuangshuang's good?" She walked haughtily back to her room, followed by her attendant and then at the door.

Xiao Xuan and Yelu slanted as they watched the pale pink figure fade away and disappear into the ink.

Xiao Siwen brushed her sleeves away, Mrs. Xiao shook her head sadly, and she waved her hand to signal that everyone was dispersed.

The lights in the courtyard are extinguished, the night sky is silent, and the night is slightly cool, like a heart that has lost its true feelings, it is always cold.

The next day, Xiao Siwen took Yelu out to visit the high-ranking officials of the court, and Mrs. Xiao rested on the couch. The courtyard was empty.

Xiao Sui opened the window and looked at Xiao Shuangshuang's room opposite. The door of her room was shut, and the two attendants outside the door did not move. Xiao Sui closed the window again.

Xiao Sui was pacing in the room, and the maidservant Ah Yu brought lunch and set up the dishes and chopsticks, "Miss, it's time to eat." ”

Hearing the reminder of Ah Yu, Xiao Sui remembered, "It's already noon, and the second sister hasn't eaten for half a day..."

Arabic said, "Miss, doesn't the food fit your mouth?" Isn't that your favorite food? ”

"Ayu, put the food in the food box." Xiao Sui suddenly came to his senses and stood up in high spirits.

Xiao Xuan stood by the window with Ah Yu, pointed to Xiao Shuangshuang's door from afar, and whispered to Ah Yu. Arabic "Oh", "Huh? Replying, Xiao Xuan slapped her on the head angrily, "Follow me for so long, why don't you have the guts?" ”

Ah Yu looked at Xiao Xuan, who was not good-looking, and reluctantly bowed respectfully, "Got it, Miss, I'll go now." ”

Xiao Xuan smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "Good Ayu, Miss Ben will not treat you badly, she will definitely point you a good husband!" Xiao Xuan quipped.

Ah Yu blushed and withdrew.

Xiao Sui held the food box in his hand, opened the door and saw that no one was paying attention, so he quickly walked to the corner from Xiao Shuangshuang's bedroom and hid.

Xiao Sui watched Ah Yu come from afar, with Xiao Sui's hosta in his hair, exquisite makeup, seductive eyes, and walked towards the guards in every way, looking so bewitching. Xiao Xuan hid her face and snickered, thinking that she hadn't found that Ah Yu was handsome before!

The two attendants had already become sleepy because they were guarding overnight, and when they saw Ah Yu coming, they suddenly came to their senses. Busy stepped forward to offer courtesy, "Sister Arabic, why didn't I see your delicate appearance before..."

Ah Yu covered his lips and smiled, his eyes were full of charm, "Look at my brother's way of talking, Ah Yu has always been like this, Miss Meng San raised her love, rewarded a few boxes of good rouge, and wiped them at will." ”

The other was not far behind, "Ah Yu, we are in the Xiao Mansion together, if there is anything that can be used by my brother, we must speak." ”

Ah Yu looked grateful, "Then I have to thank my brothers." Then she seemed to complain, "The third lady's temper became bigger and bigger, and she asked people to buy snacks on the street and sugar skewers at the end of the street within a quarter of an hour, she was obviously bullying me..."

The two attendants suddenly felt pity for the jade, and said in a loud voice, "Let's help you, don't be sad..."

Ah Yu wiped away her tears and smiled, "Really? The two brothers are so nice. But, the brothers still have to look at the second miss..."Ah Yu's eyes lit up, "Why don't the two brothers help Ah Yu and go to the streets to buy food separately, and I'll help the brothers guard here for a while, okay?" ”

The two attendants were a little embarrassed, and Ah Yu frowned, as if she was coquettish, "Aren't you still distressed by Ah Yu?" No wonder, Ah Yu is a rough girl, how dare she bother her brothers to worry! "Pretend to be angry and leave.

The attendant hurriedly grabbed Ah Yu, answered the sound continuously, and ran out of the house with a smile.

Seeing the attendant leaving, Xiao Xuan stepped forward with a smile, "The beauty plan really worked, it's really yours, Ah Yu." She pushed open Xiao Shuangshuang's door and walked in.

Ah Yu put away the coquettish smile of Fang Cai, put down a cold face, looked at the lacquered wooden door, and was extremely stunned in her heart, "She will always be a high-ranking young lady, but she can only be a maidservant, even the beauty has to deal with such a lowly attendant, why is the fate so unfair?" Can't I have a life like her in this life? ’

Jealousy is born, all evils arise, and the hearts of those who do not want to be satisfied are difficult to fill.

The windows in Xiao Shuangshuang's house were closed, and there was no sunlight in them, and the various colored beaded curtains and gauze tents were hidden from each other, and the light was very dim.

Xiao Xuan lifted layer after layer of moon-yellow gauze curtains, light pink bead curtains, and called softly, "Second sister? ”

Xiao Shuangshuang leaned on the side of the bed, closed her eyes to recuperate, she heard Xiao Sui's voice, her eyes widened slightly, her expression was lazy, she didn't get up, and said lightly, "What are you doing?" ”

Xiao Sui was very surprised when she saw Xiao Shuangshuang, and hurriedly sat down next to her bed, and put out the food in the food box, "I came here secretly, my sister must be hungry, let's eat some quickly." ”

Xiao Shuangshuang looked down at the dishes, all of which were Xiao Sui's favorite food, and she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Sui, who was busy holding dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Shuangshuang's eyes were moist and hot, and she thought: 'This stupid girl, she didn't eat lunch and kept the food for herself. ’

Xiao Sui handed the dishes and chopsticks to Xiao Shuangshuang with a look of anticipation. Xiao Shuangshuang didn't go against her will, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up some vegetables and ate a few bites in the bowl. These mouthfuls, along with the sourness and choking in the throat, were swallowed together.
