Chapter 218: Breaking Branches (10)

Xi Gu'an already had the advantage of the plot, so he naturally knew what kind of person this Ning Wang Ling Xiqian really was. But she still pretended to be surprised, nodded and said, "Thank you, old lady, I will pay attention." She looked very well-behaved, and there was no hysteria, which made the old lady a little impressed.

Presumably this is the purpose of the old lady's visit this time, Xi Gu'an lowered his head, his eyes fell on the sandalwood that had been burned, and his focus was on the package next to him.

Xi Gu'an was stunned, is this a farewell before going out?

The old lady sighed: "I'm going to leave for a while, you still stay in your own house honestly during this time, you must protect yourself, don't go out, in fact...... It is a good choice for you to leave the Xi family. ”

If it were someone else, I am afraid that the old lady would take care of her son and the current second lady before she opened her mouth to comfort her, but Xi Gu'an knew that this old lady was the only one in the family who saw through and was sensible.

After saying goodbye to the old lady, she happened to see Yang Manqing hurrying over, a trace of imperceptible disgust flashed in her eyes, Xi Guan was unwilling to face this scheming woman, and after a respectful salute, she staggered and wanted to leave, but unfortunately Yang Manqing was willing to let her go, she immediately smiled and greeted her like a flower.

"An An, your body is very good."

Xi Gu'an suppressed the fear and hatred in the heart of the original owner, reluctantly raised his head, and showed a pale smile: "Thank you aunt for your concern, your body is no longer in serious trouble." ”

Yang Manqing's concerned eyes skimmed over Xi Gu'an, lingering on the other party's pale cheeks for a moment, secretly satisfied in his heart. It's just a sick man who doesn't have any scheming, so he doesn't have to be afraid, but he just thinks that this old woman has to do something before leaving.

Seeing that Yang Manqing was gradually getting closer, the old lady's gentle eyebrows and eyes just now changed and became sharp again. She raised her head, swept her cold gaze over Yang Manqing's face, and snorted coldly - but she has a little bit of a foxy ability to seduce people, and as soon as she enters the house, she turns this family upside down, which makes people very unhappy.

Yang Manqing also knew that the old lady had always looked down on herself, at first, she would use the weak set of kung fu in front of Xi Fangguo to try to brush a wave of favor in front of the old lady, but it was a pity, this old woman's mind was obviously clearer than him, she knew more than him, and she was not affected by this white lotus temperament at all, and gradually, Yang Manqing gave up, but began to scheming secretly provoke this already unstable mother-son relationship.

And this time, it seems that Xi Fangguo's greatest interests have really been touched, and he began to consider choosing the side that is most conducive to his own development.

Thinking of this, Yang Manqing showed a superficial smile and said, "Old lady, the carriage outside is almost ready, why don't we set off before it gets dark?" ”

Xi Gu sank with peace of mind, he didn't expect the conjecture just now to really come true, and the old lady was really yin by this woman.

The old lady was obviously reluctant to talk more, and kept her eyes closed and maintained a silent attitude.

Yang Manqing was so contemptuous that she almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, and her heart was not happy by his indifferent attitude, but then, she remembered that this old lady would soon be far away from them, and she couldn't help laughing out loud in her heart.

The old lady didn't have any special reaction, stood up, helped Mu Yuan and said, "Let's go." ”

When passing by the courtyard, she slowly walked in the direction of Mu Zhi and nodded at her: "Mama Zhang is fine, I will send it to the Mei Courtyard in a while, and the medicine will be wrapped and sent over together, you can leave now." ”

Yang Manqing's face instantly stiffened - now she is the mistress of the family, this old lady actually overstepped her authority and directly ordered her subordinates, not taking him in her eyes at all!

She took a step forward and persuaded: "Old lady, this girl is gossiping outside, there are no rules, we ......"

The old lady snorted coldly: "What, do you think my rules and punishments are not enough?" It's better to call Fang Guo over, and let's set up some rules. ”

Seeing that the old lady was about to get angry and invite the old lady to come, Yang Manqing's heart was a little panicked. At this time, the old man was entertaining distinguished guests in the study, and he could not be disturbed in any way, which was the reason why she was anxious to take this opportunity to send the old lady away. Every day she is in her heart, she is a thorn in her heart, and only by dealing with this matter earlier can she sleep more peacefully.

That's it, this time I will follow the old woman's wishes, lest there be any accidents before leaving!

Seeing off the old lady, Yang Manqing glanced at Xi Gu'an next to her coldly, and said lightly: "It's windy outside, the second lady should go back to the house early, so as not to be unable to maintain her body and spoil the auspicious time for next month." ”

Seeing the backs of these two groups of people leaving, Xi Guan helped Mu Zhi back to the house. March Chinese

……

Time flies, and it seems that it is the day when the wedding is approaching, and several brides are in and out of the house, and the joy around can be seen by anyone with a bright eye.

Mu Zhi and Mama Zhang were so worried that their hair turned white every day, but unfortunately Xi Gu'an still looked cold and idle, and had the leisure to comfort them not to worry.

After measuring the dress, Mama Zhang was so anxious that she kept spinning around the room: "What should I do, Miss, I heard that King Ning is a bad person, and there is also that kind of disease, Miss is like a widow when she marries, what happiness is there!" ”

Mu Zhi was also angry, the little girl was angry, and she wanted to make trouble again, but she was quickly dragged back by Xi Gu'an.

"Don't be impulsive, it's an emperor's marriage, not an ordinary marriage, not only will there be no result if you go like this, but it will affect Miss." Mama Zhang scolded sharply.

Mu Zhi also knew in his heart that this was the worst, and the way to deal with it was the worst, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

I have to say that the emperor's mind is too obvious, and he doesn't even give people time to breathe, which makes Xi Gu a little vigilant - I'm afraid that the person that the emperor is afraid of has made some small moves.

And just as she thought, Xi Gu'an overheard a few servants in the courtyard muttering, as if talking about the drought that the prince was sent by the emperor to investigate due to the rebirth of the northern disaster, plus the soup kitchen, secretly dealing with the affairs of corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

This is a chore, if it is done well, it is the will of the people, and if it is done badly, it will lose the support of the people, make the people disgusted, and it will also make the officials chill, maybe some radical corrupt officials will also use some means behind their backs when they are in a hurry, and I am afraid that they will have to worry about their lives.

It's just that this kind of thing, which is tricky at first glance, has been perfectly solved by this King Ning's ruthless means. The emperor gritted his teeth in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be grateful, held his hand and sighed for a long time, and gave a grand gift, but he did not mention the original private promise of adding officials to the knighthood.

It's just that King Ning didn't know whether he was jealous or really indifferent, and he didn't ask about this matter, he just regarded it as having completed his work task, and returned to the house with the reward he got after handing over the errand.

This time, the emperor also clearly felt how big the power behind this bloodless prince was, and how hard his methods were, so he didn't dare to use hard means to provoke in a short period of time, and because of this sign, the matter of marriage was put on the agenda.

This is also the reason why the bride and the preparers of all parties are so resolute.

After trying on the wedding dress, Xi Gu'an touched the gorgeously inlaid jewels on it, and said with a mouthful of words; "I said cutie, I sold this wedding dress that is worth a thousand dollars, can I elope with my lover? I was robbed by a mountain bandit on the way, can it be considered to have completed the plot? ”

The system was almost scared to death by him, and screamed: "This is a violation of the main quest, if the host escapes, the entire plane will collapse." ”

Xi Gu'an sighed faintly: "You group of single dog systems, if I am misunderstood, I can't get off the list, it's your pot." ”

The system also knew that this mission had touched Xi Gu'an, and it licked its face and said: "That big guy loves you so much, he will definitely listen to your explanation, it's really not good, there are also amnesia charms, love magic potions and other auxiliary commodities in my system mall, the host you are so beautiful, you will definitely be able to take him." ”

Xi Gu'an was about to cry stupidly by this little cutie, and just when she wanted to explain something, someone came to her unexpectedly.

Xi Ruorui has been very well-behaved these days, she should be mixing oil with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the status of the crown princess, how can she have time to come to this secluded courtyard today?

Seeing that she had a lot in her eyes, Xi Ruorui smiled happily, and said in a sincere tone: "Sister, congratulations, I'm going to get married so soon, I'm very happy." ”

Xi Guan dared to guarantee that this was the first sincere sentence that Xi Ruorui had said since he saw her.

Eyes swept over Xi Gu'an's pale face, Xi Ruorui also seemed to feel that such a straightforward remark was a bit overwhelming, she showed a slightly apologetic smile: "Sister, don't be afraid, those rumors should not be true, I heard that His Royal Highness King Ning is brave and good at fighting, handsome, is a rare good match, you will definitely be happy in the future." Moreover, this time, His Royal Highness King Ning made a meritorious service in front of His Majesty, and the people praised him. ”

Xi Gu looked at her calmly for a while, but instead of getting angry, she also smiled like her: "Sister, you have such admiration for His Royal Highness King Ning, why don't I ask my father to let you and His Royal Highness King Ning tie the knot?" ”

She was very unhappy in her heart, she was originally resentful of the world this time, but this white lotus hit her bottom line so directly, she decided, she was going to leave the Xi family anyway, even if she couldn't turn the situation around, she had to disgust this white lotus.
