Chapter 202: The County Lord Arrives
Wei Yining followed the Qin family to the Xiao Mansion.
The Xiao family is not prosperous, and the three generations have been passed down so far, and the eldest young master Xiao Yi's main room has given birth to a son, who is five years old this year.
The grandmother had a miscarriage last month, and now she is still recuperating in her room, so she can't come out to meet customers.
The Qin family couldn't wait for their daughter's illness to heal soon, so they led Wei Yining directly to Xiao Qingqing's room.
Wei Yining then saw this prospective princess who had never met before, and she was indeed sick and haggard.
Wei Yining remembered his father Wei Zongzhao, who had such a withered face and gloomy mood a few days before he died.
Xiao Qingqing supported Wei Yining to return the salute, she didn't take Tan Rui's suggestion seriously, but she couldn't bear to let her mother be disappointed, so she didn't open her mouth to stop it.
Wei Yining saw her open-mindedness not to force life and death, admired in her heart, and couldn't help but regret it.
It's a pity that I don't know how to do medicine, so I can only stand by and watch.
The Qin family invited her to accompany Xiao Qingqing, but the other party was seriously ill and naturally couldn't talk much, so Wei Yining sat quietly on the side.
Qin was afraid that she would be bored at first, but gradually found that she was not embarrassed at all, silent and quiet, and by no means pretending.
The Qin family couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, saying that there was no spirit, no talent, no courage, and no blessing.
This little girl is really a little outstanding, and when she thinks of what she did before, she feels relieved, maybe she will come and really restore her daughter to the same as before!
Xiao Qingqing was lying on the bed, her eyes closed but she didn't feel the slightest sleep, Wei Yining's quietness made her very comfortable, she didn't need to talk, she just wanted to be more peaceful.
But it backfired, and this moment of tranquility was quickly broken.
In the afternoon, the maid came in to announce that the lord of Duanmin County had arrived and had come to visit the sick at the behest of the queen.
The county lord of Duanmin has a noble status, not to mention that she came at the will of the queen, so she can't be seen.
Xiao Qingqing struggled to change her clothes, and was helped by the maid to sit up.
The Qin family took the others to wait outside, only to see that the county lord of Duanmin was wearing a purple cloud brocade dress and a cloak of bright yellow feather satin, and the two bright colors made her even more terrifying.
There were seven or eight palace people behind him, and there was also a young lady who followed, and Wei Yining recognized it as Yan Lanlan from the Wending Marquis Mansion.
When the Duanmin County Lord was not angry, he always had a condescending look, and he didn't look at anyone other than the Qin clan at all.
Yan Lanlan, who was behind her, kept staring at Wei Yining, like a cricket that was provoked to anger, ready to pinch her opponent to the death.
The Qin family diligently let the Duanmin County Lord and others into the house, the Duanmin County Lord had not seen Xiao Qingqing's face for half a year, and now he almost didn't recognize it, Xiao Qingqing was so thin that he lost his appearance, like a skeleton.
The county lord of Duanmin also felt uncomfortable in her heart, although she and Xiao Qingqing did not have a deep friendship, she always felt that she was a good person, she should be in the prime of youth, but who wanted to show her withering appearance.
If Yan Lanlan came alone, she would definitely not be able to see Xiao Qingqing, but she followed the county lord, and the Qin family was not easy to stop.
She heard that the Xiao family specially invited Wei Yining to come, just because she was brave and able to suppress evil spirits.
Yan Lanlan immediately expressed her dissatisfaction, what kind of thing is she Wei Yining?!
In the Shao family before, I proposed to compete with her several times, but she blindly dodged, obviously because she was weak-hearted.
Now he actually deceived Mrs. Xiao's house, it's really shameless!
Yan Lanlan knew that she would never see Xiao Qingqing by herself, but fortunately, the county lord also came today, and she just happened to be able to come in with her.
Xiao Qingqing's house was overcrowded all of a sudden, and it was the first time in half a year that it was so lively.
Wei Yining always looked like he didn't fight or grab, sitting in the corner and drinking tea quietly, ignoring everyone's conversation, and ignoring Yan Lanlan's provocative gaze.
The more she was like this, the more annoyed Yan Lanlan became.
A pair of eyes were staring at her all the time, and Wei Yining's every move was watched by her.
Yan Lanlan frowned slightly when she saw her, and then looked up at the beams.
Yan Lanlan also followed her line of sight and didn't find anything wrong.
Wei Yining raised his head frequently, Yan Lanlan followed again and again, and everyone gradually realized that something was wrong with the two of them.
Qin asked with a smile, "What did the two girls see?" ”
Yan Lanlan said: "It was Wei Yining who looked up with all her strength, and I couldn't help but follow along, I don't know what she was looking at." ”
Wei Yining said: "I think there seems to be something on the beam, like a snake." ”
As soon as she said that there were snakes, everyone in the house panicked, and there were few people who were not afraid of snakes.
The thought of a snake crawling overhead, and the possibility of falling from the beams of the house at any point, and the possibility of falling on themselves, made everyone feel terrified.
Duanmin County Lord said: "Do you see clearly? Is it a big snake or a small snake? ”
Wei Yining shook his head and said, "It's not certain yet." ”
Yan Lanlan suppressed the panic in her heart and sneered: "You don't scare people there, now it's the ninth cold day, where will there be snakes?" ”
"Yes, snakes hibernate," someone said, "probably rats!" ”
Wei Yining shook his head and said, "It's not like a mouse, I think it's a snake." ”
"So what to do?" Qin's voice trembled and said, "What if the snake hurts someone?" ”
"Ask someone to bring a ladder over," Wei Yining said calmly, "I'll climb up and take a look." ”
Qin hurriedly said, "Fifth girl, are you really okay when you go up?" Why don't you ask the daring maid to go up and have a look! ”
"Madam, it's better for me to go up. It's okay, don't worry. Wei Yining felt that his reaction was quicker than ordinary people, if the snake was poisonous, it would not hurt people.
Yan Lanlan had already decided that Wei Yining was grandstanding at this time, she deliberately said that there was a snake on it to make everyone afraid, and then volunteered to climb up, so that everyone would think she was brave.
When the time comes, she only needs to say that the snake has crawled away, and no one will know whether what she said is true or not.
After a while, the maids and maids really came in with a ladder and set it up on the spot.
Wei Yining lifted the skirt and was about to go up, but Yan Lanlan stopped her and said, "Why don't I go up and take a look." ”
Wei Yining's gentle eyes looked at her quietly, and said, "Sister Yan, what if there is really a snake on it?" ”
Yan Lanlan sneered: "Do you think that only you dare to catch snakes?" Tell you, I can do the same. ”
"Miss Yan, this is not a joke." The Qin clan hurriedly came up to persuade him.
"Madam, I really don't believe that there is a snake on it, this Wei Yining is used to playing tricks, I will demolish her today!" Yan Lanlan simply stated the purpose of her trip.
Wei Yining gently lowered the hem of her skirt, without anger on her face, and said calmly: "It's okay for Sister Yan to go up, but please be careful." ”
"You don't need to pretend to care," Yan Lanlan pushed her away: "If there is no snake on the top, you are a liar!" ”
After saying that, he stepped on the ladder angrily and climbed up with his hands and feet.
