At this time, Xiao Yiran already had an idea in her heart, she pretended to be sad and said: "I understand what the second aunt said, but even if the mother is partial, what can we do as children?" ”

Seeing her on the road, Zou was overjoyed: "There are always more difficulties than solutions." If you want, my aunt has a Dharma son here. ”

"What's the method?"

Zou leaned closer and said in a low voice: "The reason why the Bai family has no fear is entirely because she is alone in the Hou Mansion with one hand covering the sky, and no one dares to pick on her at all. But if someone divides her power, then she must be a lot more jealous. ”

"What does the second aunt mean?" Xiao Yiran didn't dare to be sure.

"Alas! I'm not one of those power-hungry people. Zou sighed helplessly: "But you also know that your grandmother is old and can't work hard; Your third aunt is a saw-billed gourd. Neither of these two people can manage the house, and I am the only one who can barely take over. ”

Xiao Yiran nodded: "The second aunt is naturally suitable, but ......" she said worriedly: "Mother has been in charge of the family for so many years, how can her status be easily shaken?" ”

Zou rolled his eyes, held her hand and said, "Although it is difficult, it is not impossible." We just have to catch her mistakes. ”

"Wrong?"

"That's right! Big mistake! Zou squinted shrewdly. Last time, she could have used the white painting screen to cover up Xiao Yijing's matter, but when she went to the ancestral hall to find Xiao Yiling as a witness, Xiao Yiling never mentioned it, thinking that she had been beaten by the white painting screen. Since the victim doesn't care anymore, then of course the others don't have much to say.

Thinking of this, Zou gritted his teeth with hatred for Bai Huaping's methods, if she hadn't found someone to drag Xiao Ziang and not let him go back to report immediately, how could she miss the best opportunity to make a mistake!

"The second aunt wants me to ......" Xiao was also embarrassed.

Seeing that she was a little flinching, Zou hurriedly persuaded her: "Aunt doesn't want you to do those unsightly things. It's just that our second room is separated from you by a wall after all, and it is not convenient to pass on the news. If you can keep an eye on my aunt in this house, and find someone to deliver the letter to me when it is critical, that will be enough. ”

Is it as simple as just doing her eyeliner? It seems that this Zou family didn't expect her to do anything important as a young lady who was not favored and powerless.

Xiao Yiran had a plan in his heart, but he still looked like he couldn't make up his mind.

Zou is an anxious person, and her mouth has long been dry after saying so many words, but the other party is still so cowering and hesitating, she is not only anxious but also impatient. But now is not the time to lose her temper, so she has to continue to lobby patiently: "Aunt knows your concerns, but now is not the time to hesitate. If you think about you, you will have to make a living under the Bai clan in the future. If she relies on the authority in her hand to wronged you in the future, then to whom will you complain about this injustice? Don't worry, I will be able to occupy a place in the inner house in the future, and I will naturally take care of you. ”

Seeing Xiao Yiran's expression becoming more and more shaken, Zou knew that he had to give her a fierce medicine: "Third girl, do you know what your father suddenly picked you back this time?" ”

Seeing that she suddenly mentioned this in a deep voice, Xiao Yiran's heart moved: "I don't know, I hope my aunt will tell me." ”

Zou Shi looked left and right, and then realized that the people around her had already been sent away by her, but she couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "You should know that you have a marriage contract with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, right?" ”

"Yes, yes."

"Aunt heard that, I don't know what pillow wind the white painting screen is blowing in your father's ears, and your father wants your eldest sister to marry you for you. This time, I picked you up, I just want you and the fourth prince to get out of marriage! ”

And so it was! Xiao Yiran sneered in his heart, it turned out that the couple had this idea. Although she doesn't like Bailizan, it doesn't mean that she is willing to let others handle it!

thought so in his heart, but Xiao Yiran showed a look of deep shock and disbelief: "No, it's impossible, I heard that my marriage was decided by His Majesty himself, how could he say that he would retreat?" ”

"Your Majesty has personally decided, won't Your Majesty order it to be lifted? Your father must have planned it a long time ago! Good boy, you have no way out, you should think about it for your future! Zou looked distressed.

Xiao Yiran's whole person looked shaky, and he lowered his head deeply. Zou is not in a hurry now, quietly waiting for Xiao Yiran's choice, because she knows that after her words of grace and power, the little girl opposite will have only one choice.

Sure enough, after a long while, Xiao Yiran finally raised his head and trembled his lips, and said with difficulty: "I promise you." ”

"Hey! That's right! Zou was ecstatic in her heart, her eyebrows were full of pride, as if she had stepped on the white painting screen under her feet, she held Xiao Yiran's hand and said, "I knew you were a smart child." ”

At this time, Xiao Yiran seemed to be still immersed in sadness, and when he heard the words, he just smiled reluctantly and said no more.

The Zou family is now happy, she has the heart to pull Xiao Yiran to set a trap, but seeing her expression, she had no choice but to swallow her heart-filled words: "After talking for so long, you must be tired, the second aunt will leave first, and I will come to see you again when I have time." ”

"Yes." Xiao Yiran got up and wanted to send it, but was held down by Zou, and then she left briskly alone.

After Zou left, Xianglan entered the room and saw Xiao Yiran sitting motionless on the chair as if thinking about something, she couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Miss, did the second lady say anything to you?" The slave seemed happy to see her gone. ”

Xiao Yiran came back to his senses and hooked the corners of his lips: "Of course she is happy, because she will soon be able to get a piece of the pie from this Zhongyong Marquis's mansion." ”

Xianglan was surprised: "Could it be that he is here to win over Miss?" ”

"Clever!" Xiao Yiran excitedly rewarded: "She asked me to do her eyeliner, and I agreed." ”

"This, but if this is discovered by the lady......"

"Do you think she can escape Bai Huaping's eyes this time today? Presumably, she has been wary of me since Xiao Ziang. ”

"How's that to be?" Xianglan is in a hurry, everyone in this Hou Mansion knows that Bai Huaping is the real ruler of the back house, if she offends her, how can there be any good fruit to eat?

"Don't worry! She doesn't dare touch me now. Xiao Yiran said confidently, "I'm still valuable!" Great value! ”

Although Xianglan didn't understand why her young lady was so determined, when she came into contact with her reassuring gaze, she couldn't help but relax.

"Can you see the Third Young Master these days?" Xiao Yiran's eyes swept over the row of gifts sent by the Zou family, and suddenly asked.

"Nope. Presumably still recuperating from his injuries. ”

"Then let's go see him tomorrow." Thinking of Xiao Zijing's attitude towards the white painting screen last time, Xiao also sighed. Maybe she can pull another ally.
