Chapter 31 The Second Aunt's Visit
"Xiao Zijun and Xiao Zichuan?" Xiao Yiran frowned, "When did they come back?" ”
"Not long after you left, the second young master rushed to you not long after he came back, saying that he wanted to teach Miss you a lesson for the fourth young lady!"
Heh~ This Xiao Zichuan and Xiao Yiling are brother and sister! Xiao Yiran hooked his lips sneeringly: "In this case, why did he leave later?" ”
This thing in the Yuge Pavilion is no different from when she left, even Xianglan was not discovered, it seems that this Xiao Zichuan must have returned in vain, and he came for nothing.
"Yes, it was the eldest young master who pulled him away."
Xiao Zijun? Xiao Yiran was slightly stunned, she never expected that he would stop Xiao Zichuan. It stands to reason that Xiao Zijun and Bai Huaping are biological mother and son, so they shouldn't be so kind to help her.
"Did you hear what they said as they left?"
"The eldest young master persuaded the second young master not to spoil the harmony between the brothers and sisters, besides, what happened last time was that the fourth young lady was wrong. The second young master should not blame the young lady, but should go back and persuade the fourth young lady. ”
Good to know the general word! Xiao Yiran touched her chin, could it be that this time she was a villain's heart? Bai Huaping is hypocritical, doesn't it mean that she can't teach her upright son?
"Pandan? Have you ever met the eldest young master? ”
"The slaves and maids have been in the house for a relatively short time, and the young masters usually study in the country, so they have never seen each other."
In that case, let's take one step at a time! Under the same roof, people and ghosts will always meet, right? Xiao Yiran breathed a sigh of relief and went to the inner room to change clothes.
"Yikes! Miss, why do you have more scars on your hands? Xianglan exclaimed as she tied her belt.
Xiao Yiran flipped over his palm, this was thrown when he just received the whip, but now it was about to heal. She hadn't been hurt for so long, and she had forgotten about her powerful healing abilities.
"This was accidentally scratched by a broken piece of porcelain before." Xiao Yiran said. The less people know about her secret, the better, only then can she be safer.
"But the slave remembered that you didn't have it when you left!" Pandan muttered strangely.
"It's because you didn't pay attention before." Xiao Yiran smiled slightly, not planning to continue the topic: "It's okay, it's all over." ”
Although Xianglan was still strange in her heart, she didn't pay attention to it anymore when she saw her say this.
After getting dressed, Xiao Yiran slowly drank the tea poured by pandan, and then a little girl hurriedly reported: "Miss! The second lady is here! ”
Zou? Xiao Yiran and Xianglan glanced at each other, and they saw the doubts in each other's hearts.
"Miss, why did these two ladies come suddenly?" Xianglan hesitated.
"Won't you know if you invite her in?" Xiao Yiran got up calmly, straightened his sleeves, and went out the door.
The Zou family, who had not yet reached the middle, saw Xiao Yiran come out, hurriedly took a few steps and held her hand and said with a smile: "You child, you are all from your own family, why do you come out to greet you so politely?" ”
Xiao Yiran's eyes inadvertently swept over the few maids holding boxes behind her, with a soft smile on her face: "Although it is a family, the etiquette cannot be invalidated." The second aunt didn't let me come out because of pity, and I came to greet you as a tribute. ”
"Yo!" The smile on the corner of Zou's lips deepened, and he pulled her into the room and praised loudly: "Look at this little mouth, it looks like it's smeared with honey!" It's so much better than the two in our family! ”
"The second aunt praised it falsely, the cousins read and practiced all day long, and they want to serve the court in the future, where can I compare with them?"
There is no parent who doesn't like to be praised for their children. Hearing this, Zou smiled with his eyebrows: "That is, your mouth is sweet!" ”
Xiao Yiran smiled embarrassedly, then asked her to sit down, and asked the little girl to make tea.
The more Zou looks at this niece now, the more satisfied she becomes, and feels that she is not only not like a hillbilly who has lived in the suburbs for more than ten years, but is a lady who knows etiquette and can talk, but she is much better than Xiao Yixian's two sisters! Think about the two little girls who saw her every time they saw her, didn't they all look perfunctory?
She turned to the maids who came with her and said, "Put your things down." ”
After receiving the order, the maids put all the objects in their hands on the table, and the four boxes were neatly arranged in a row.
"Auntie, this is?" Xiao Yiran was surprised.
Zou retracted his gaze and said to her, "You also know that your cousin Ziyang ...... last time" She paused and didn't continue, "Thanks to the medicine you sent, he is almost fine now." ”
This thank you to Zou is sincere, and she didn't pay attention to the medicine Xiao Yiran sent last time. But the doctor he invited said that it was a rare healing medicine, and he couldn't see the specific ingredients even if he practiced medicine for decades. Later, she gave it to Xiao Ziang with a skeptical mentality, and it really worked wonders.
Zou found that he couldn't understand this little girl, why did a little girl who had been detained in the suburbs all the year round have such a good thing?
Xiao Yiran felt the meaning of inquiry in her eyes, and the smile on her face remained unchanged: "It's just an ordinary bottle of healing medicine, where is it worth the second aunt to give me so many things?" ”
"Whew! It's not valuable. Zou came back to his senses and waved his hand, and the maid hurriedly opened the boxes one by one when he saw this.
Zou explained: "These two boxes are special snacks sent by my mother's family, and there are a few flowers in this box. And ......" pointed to the other two boxes and said, "Here are two pieces of cloth, which are used for clothes." She patted the back of Xiao Yiran's hand and sighed softly: "Poor sister-in-law Chu left early, and no one usually thinks about many things for you." ”
"The second aunt is too worried, and the mother is ...... Treat me well. Xiao Yiran lowered his head to hide the glimmer in his eyes.
At this time, the maid brought tea, and Zou poured a cup and sent it to her, and then waved: "You go down first, you all go down first." Glancing at the maids in the room, Zou commanded.
"Yes." The maid immediately rushed out, and Xianglan also retreated under Xiao Yiran's signal.
The room was empty all of a sudden, and Zou replied earnestly: "You don't have to hide it from your aunt, your cousin Ziyang told me about the fourth girl last time, it was you who were wronged, but the sister-in-law only punished the fourth girl, and she didn't even have a word of comfort for you." If it's really not biological, where will it be on the tip of my heart? ”
Seeing that Xiao Yiran's head was getting lower and lower, she continued: "Look at your second sister again, beat the fourth girl like that, but the Bai family covered it up for her, which shows that she is eccentric." ”
"The second sister is out of her mother's house, and she should suffer more." Xiao Yiran raised his eyes and smiled.
"You kid! How can this be? Zou was anxious: "As the main mother, it should be fair and selfless to be in charge of the inner courtyard." The Bai family used his authority to cover up for his own daughter, isn't this equivalent to treating you lightly! ”
After listening to it for a long time, Xiao Yiran finally understood that this Zou family was desperately trying to provoke his relationship with Bai Huaping in order to deduct her reputation as unfair now! It seems that the Zou family can't hold back and wants to reach out to the inner courtyard.
When she was really sleepy, she came to send a pillow, and she was thinking about how to help the Zou family seize power!
