Chapter Twenty-Six: Someone Else
Back in Tingyu Pavilion, Xianglan brought a cup of tea to Xiao Yiran without saying a word.
Xiao Yiran saw that her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but be a little stunned: "What's wrong with you?" โ
Xianglan raised her head, with an expression that wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry: "Miss! I didn't expect Miss Fourth to frame you. โ
Xiao Yiran was funny in her heart, this girl wouldn't be sympathetic to her, right?
Last night, she deliberately mentioned this dress in front of everyone so that the person who deliberately drugged it would automatically show her feet, and sure enough, when she heard that she was going to return the clothes to Xiao Yijing, the fourth lady Xiao Yiling couldn't sit still, and couldn't wait to come to her early in the morning to destroy the clothes.
In fact, the clothes were not the one sent by the painting screen for nothing, but she deliberately asked Murong Liang to find a piece of material with the same style before returning home, but fortunately, no one noticed the chaos at that time.
Although Miss told the slave maid last night not to act rashly no matter what happened today, the slave maid still couldn't help but feel sorry for the young lady at that time. The hearts of these four young ladies are also ruthless, they are obviously a family, and they don't know where she has so much hatred for Miss? โ
Family? Xiao Yiran sneered in her heart, she had never regarded the people of Xiao Mansion as her family, and presumably the people here were the same.
"No matter why she hurt me, anyway, now the mastermind has been punished." Xiao Yiran's tone was light.
Xianglan was startled and her eyes widened: "Mastermind? Could it be that there are other people who want to harm Miss? โ
Xiao Yiran smiled coldly, and asked instead of answering: "When you were in Fuyun Pavilion, what did you think of the people there?" โ
"There are clear hierarchies, and each has its own duties." Xianglan thought about it seriously and hesitated.
"Then do you think Xiao Yiling and her maid can avoid so many subordinates and sprinkle the medicinal powder on such precious clothes without realizing it?"
"What do you mean, Miss?" Xianglan's pupils shrank, and her heart suddenly brightened: "Someone deliberately connived!" โ
Xiao Yiran was noncommittal, with Xiao Yiling's babbling and unconcealed personality, if no one deliberately opened the back door, she probably wouldn't even be able to see the shadow of her clothes!
"But who dares to condone the fourth lady under the nose of Madame?" Xianglan was a little excited. They worked hard for a long time, but they never thought that they would not catch all those who had bad intentions.
"Guess? In Fuyun Pavilion, there is such a great power, and there are people who are not afraid of white painting screens. Xiao Yiran's eyes were sharp, and he hooked his lips and sneered.

Fuyun Pavilion.
With a straight face, Bai Huaping commanded the people in the room, "You go down first." Don't let anyone get near here. โ
"Yes!"
As the people came out, the atmosphere in the room gradually fell silent, Bai Huaping glanced at the Xiao Yixian sisters standing in front of her, and said lightly: "Do you have anything to say to me?" โ
Xiao Yijing cautiously glanced at her expressionless eldest sister Xiao Yixian, and took the lead in bowing her head unconvinced: "I know, I shouldn't have hit Xiao Yiling so impulsively." โ
"That's the only one?"
"Or what?" Xiao Yijing raised her head in confusion, and then her eyes widened as if she remembered something: "That Xiao Yiling won't say bad things about me to you, right?" After speaking, her pretty face sank, and she said ruthlessly: "That little slut really hasn't had enough of the lesson, and even dares to frame me!" See if I don't peel her skin! She rolled up her sleeves and was about to leave.
Bai Huaping slapped the table heavily: "You come back to me!" Haven't you done enough today! โ
Xiao Yijing stopped, she couldn't believe that her mother, who usually couldn't bear to even say heavy words to her, would be angry with her for Xiao Yiling, a little slut, she was full of resentment, but she still cried out aggrievedly: "Mother? โ
Bai Huaping pulled her face and was unmoved, she usually spoiled this little daughter too much to let her develop this kind of reckless temperament! For her, beating someone is nothing, but Xiao Yijing should never disregard her reputation and make trouble in public.
She snorted coldly: "Aren't you very majestic today?" In Tingyu Pavilion, he directly started beating people, and let Xiao Yiling's girl run around the garden in dirty clothes? โ
"Obviously she wants to take advantage of me!" Xiao Yijing shouted dissatisfied, "Just because she wants to beat me too?" deliberately soiled my Yunjin, and wanted to use my hand to hit Xiao Yiran's dirty bun, dream! โ
"Even then, you shouldn't have done it! So what kind of thing is Xiao Yiling, worthy of your anger? Is it worth your reputation as a concubine to teach her a lesson? If I hadn't found someone to silence the mouths of the people in the house, I'm afraid that the whole Kangtai would have spread the word that you were vicious and cruel and beat your sisters! With such a reputation, which son of a family in Beijing will dare to marry you in the future? โ
Hearing this, Xiao Yijing was a little panicked, she waved her hands and stammered: "No! No! I don't want that! Mother, I was wrong, and I will never again. โ
After all, it was her own daughter who was pregnant in October, and seeing her panicked appearance, Bai Huaping's expression gradually eased: "Now you know it's wrong?" Then remember what I said today, think twice before acting, if you have half of your eldest sister calm, then I will be satisfied. โ
Xiao Yijing sighed when she saw her, and her appreciation for Xiao Yixian was undisguised in her tone, she turned her head to look at her eldest sister, who had always been steady and elegant in front of outsiders, pouted, and a trace of dissatisfaction and disdain crossed her eyes.
"You can bring something to your third sister in a moment." Bai Huaping continued.
"Why?" Xiao Yijing looked reluctant, "I don't want to see that soil bun!" If it weren't for her, I would have worn that cloud brocade a long time ago, how could these things happen today? โ
Bai Huaping sank his face: "Shut up!" Xiao Yiyi can see what you are doing today, I can stop the mouth of the next person, but her mouth is not necessarily. So it's best for you to have a relationship with her and let her stop talking nonsense. โ
"Got it."
Bai Huaping's face finally softened, and he waved his hand and said, "You go out first, I have something I want to say to your eldest sister alone." โ
"What do you want to hide from me?" Xiao Yijing pursed her lips and muttered, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to retreat.
The door shut, and there was silence again.
Bai Huaping stared seriously at this eldest daughter who had always made her proud, although she was still as elegant and beautiful as ever, but somehow, there was a sense of estrangement in her heart.
"Xian'er?" She tentatively called her, "Don't you have anything to say to your mother?" โ
The smile on Xiao Yixian's face remained unchanged, and she sat leisurely beside Bai Huaping and poured her a glass of water: "Mother knows everything?" โ
"Does the Wick matter really have anything to do with you?"
"That's right." Xiao Yixian pushed the teacup in front of her and generously admitted it.
Bai Huaping's eyes were dark: "Are you the girl who intended Xiao Yiran?" โ
"Not exactly."
