Shen Tangxi was a little distracted by Mrs. Xie's words.

When he looked at Old Madam Xie, he saw that her eyes that were full of smiles were full of darkness that he couldn't understand.

Shen Tangxi couldn't help but ask: "Is the old lady bitter?" ”

Mrs. Xie took a bite of the lotus cake, and the starch candy melted in her mouth, and her mouth was full of sweetness.

"What am I suffering for?"

She bent her eyes slightly, with a smile on her white and fat face, as if the loss just now was dazzling: "My son is Xuanping Hou, I am now a first-class fate, the head of the house is prosperous, the son and daughter-in-law are filial, what do I have to suffer." ”

"I'm just making an analogy with you."

"Ruan Ruan's child has suffered too much, so she has sharpened her body, but in fact, she has a very soft heart."

Shen Tangxi raised his eyebrows, remembering that Xie Qingyang had not been able to get out of bed so far, and was a little noncommittal.

Seeing this, Old Madam Xie snorted: "What, do you think I'm eccentric?" Then let me ask you, what would you do if someone smashed the tablet of your Shen family ancestors and disturbed their peace? ”

Shen Tangxi was stunned.

How is it?

I'm afraid I didn't just kill that person...

Shen Tangxi saw Old Madam Xie staring at him without turning an eye, as if waiting for his answer, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Old Madam, I didn't say anything about her, and you are unreasonable to protect her to come to me like this." ”

Old Madam Xie glanced at him: "You didn't say it, you thought about it in your heart." ”

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking about one by one, I can tell you today, Su Ruan is now my granddaughter, then she is Miss Xie's family, count me as your half cousin."

"I don't care what Heng'er and the three of them say, but you give me some restraint, don't help Heng'er and them bully Su Ruan, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"

Shen Tangxi hurriedly said: "You are protected like this here, where do I dare to offend her?" Don't worry, you said she was my cousin, and I wasn't in the habit of bullying my family. ”

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she gave up.

Shen Tangxi sat for a while, talked with Mrs. Xie for a while, and then got up to say goodbye and leave.

After he left, Old Madam Xie collapsed.

"One by one, I don't care."

She muttered, got up from the couch, walked to the dresser, and groped for a small long box from the top of the cabinet on one side.

The box is only the size of the size, but there is no ash on the surface of the cabinet, after opening it, I saw a wooden hairpin lying inside, the hairpin looks some years old, the color is very old, and the peach blossoms carved on it have been somewhat smoothed out of the edges and corners.

Mrs. Xie watched quietly for a while, then she held the oiled paper bag in her hand and took a bite of the lotus cake in it viciously.

"Dead old man, let you not listen to me, let you have to go to Jump, die, and leave a mess."

"At the beginning, I still disliked that the old lady came out of the bandits' den, and said that I was too strong, but let me tell you, if it wasn't for the old lady in town, your Xuanping Hou Mansion would have been called a person a long time ago."

"I can tell you, you go down early and forget it, the silver has to be saved for me, and you are not allowed to spend it indiscriminately, now I have to eat, drink and enjoy it, and I also recognize a good granddaughter, and when I get tired of it, I will go down to find you, and all your silver must be handed over to me, and the silver that my son and granddaughter burned for me will not be used for you."

"I'm jealous of you!"

The hibiscus crisp melted in her mouth, and Old Madam Xie raised her eyebrows and said nonsense.

There is a sense of banditry on his body.

"I'll tell you, your bastard son is just like you, he is shrewd on weekdays, but he can't walk when he sees a beauty, you said that when you married me, you almost broke your father's leg, if you are still here, maybe you can become a confidant with your son."

Old Madam Xie remembered Chen's appearance and snorted:

"But the daughter-in-law there is really good-looking, and she was a little bit worse than when I was young, so it's understandable that you stunned your son."

She touched her not-so-smooth skin, glanced at the bronze mirror next to her, and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful."

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps approaching outside, Old Madam Xie quickly shut up, she closed the box and stuffed it back into the corner above the cabinet, and then the fierce color in her eyes instantly dissipated, and she returned to her previous white and kind appearance.

"Old lady, the things you just said have been ordered, and when the little lady is out of the filial piety period, the slave maid will let someone send her over, but the starling brother doesn't know what's going on, and he doesn't know where to learn nonsense, and the slave and maid think about whether to train and send it to ......."

Mother Liu came in and said while lifting the warm curtain, but who knew that as soon as she looked up, she saw the oil-paper bag that Mrs. Xie was holding in her hand.

Her eyes widened suddenly: "Old lady, why are you stealing food again!" Isn't it that the young master is secretly sending you something again! ”

Old Madam Xie hurriedly hugged the oil paper bag, closed it in two by three and two and hid it behind her.

"You're dazzled, where did you get something?"

Mother Liu looked shocked, can you wipe your mouth first when your old man is lying, the pastry crumbs are still hanging!

Mrs. Xie ignored Mother Liu, neatly wrapped the oiled paper into the gown, and then patted the gown that couldn't be seen because it was wide, and glared at her as a matter of course:

"You are not allowed to talk nonsense, the doctor said that you are not allowed to eat sugar, I am already very obedient to the rules, you have wronged me so much, I really went to eat."

Mother Liu: "......"

I believe in your wickedness!

……

After Shen Tangxi went out from Old Madam Xie, he was about to leave the mansion, but after listening to Old Madam Xie say that Su Ruan was good, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and walked towards Bihe Yuan.

I wanted to use the excuse of congratulations to see the girl who could coax Mrs. Xie, but when I went, I was closed.

Knowing that Su Ruan was guarding filial piety for Su Xuanmin, Shen Tangxi was stunned, but didn't say much, just took out a small purse and handed it to Cai Qian, asked her to hand it over to Su Ruan, and then said goodbye and left.

Cai Qian flipped the purse, feeling that there was some weight in it, but he didn't know what was inside, so after thinking about it, he sent it directly to Su Ruan.

Su Ruan was wearing filial piety clothes, kneeling at a low table and copying Buddhist scriptures, and couldn't help but be surprised when she heard someone send something: "Who did you say sent it?" ”

"It's the young master of the Shen family."

"Shen Tangxi?"

Su Ruan was already a little vague about this name, and he only vaguely remembered that the young master of the Shen family burned his face when he was a child, and then he always wore a mask on his face, and he had a very good relationship with Xie Qingheng, but it seemed that there was an accident later.

She couldn't help but wonder how Shen Tangxi would send her something.

Opening the purse, Su Ruan poured out the contents of the purse, and after waiting to see clearly what fell on the table, she couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.

Winter melon candy?!
