Chapter 21: The bet was right
This was the first time they had officially met.
I don't know, I thought she had secretly bullied her.
Look at this, you don't really have to measure it.
Let the tailor take a symbolic look, and go back with a huff.
In the room, Nan Xiruo slowly straightened her back, and Xiaotong slowly raised her head.
The two glanced at each other and closed the door tacitly.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I don't know how she broke in. ”
"How's your face?" Nan Xiruo sat down at the table, pinched the cake and took a bite: "Calculate the time, the medicine should be running out, right?" ”
Xiaotong brushed open her long hair on the left side, and two shallow pink scars were reflected in the candlelight.
"Thank you, Miss, it's almost ready."
A month ago, Nan Xiruo suddenly took some ointment to her, but she was instructed to wipe her face on time, and she didn't say anything else.
"Miss, I, there's something I have to tell you."
Xiao Tong's fingers twisted the corners of his clothes and whispered.
"When the eldest lady rewarded me to you, she said...... If I can find out any secrets from you, she, she will return the deed of sale to me. ”
"Hmm." Nan Xiruo was eating cakes and fruits, and his eyes were indifferent.
Xiao Tong raised his head in surprise: "You, Miss, you ......"
She, why is she so calm?
"You are my father's concubine, and though you are in name, you are a maid by my side...... There are so many maids in the family, why did they choose you? Naturally, someone deliberately arranged you by my side, as for why you were chosen? ”
Nan Xi Ruo was in a daze, and the corners of his lips faded into an evil smile.
"Your face was injured by the eldest lady, and her leg was broken by her, no matter what happens in the future, no one will believe that you are the person she installed!"
“…… You know all about it? ”
"What I didn't expect was that you didn't tell the eldest lady about me pretending to be stupid."
Xiao Tong's eyes instantly filled with hatred: "I hate her to the bone, she framed me, harmed me, turned me like this, and wanted me to be her lackey...... She didn't treat me like a human being at all! ”
That day, it was the eldest lady's henchman who pushed hard behind her, and she hit Aunt Liu, causing her to slip.
And the eldest lady took this opportunity to cut her face twice, broke one leg, and threw her in the firewood room to die.
"I know that even if I do what the eldest lady says, she will not let me go, in this case, I would rather die with a clear conscience and integrity!"
Xiaotong is timid, not stupid.
Especially after seeing Nan Xiruo pretending to be stupid, he realized even more that his life-saving straw may be in this inconspicuous little girl.
And it turns out that she was right!
Nan Xiruo didn't say anything, and even gave her a magic ointment to fade the scars.
It also made her die for her!
——
Wearing new clothes and decorating the house during the New Year, as the sixth lady of the Nan family, she was also taken care of.
It's just that on the night of the family reunion, when the old lady asked her to invite Nan Xiruo to the reunion dinner, she lied that she had a cold, and she didn't dare to give the old lady her illness, so she shirked it.
is already a dispensable person, but the Nan family just doesn't want to see her, so no one is polite anymore.
The two mothers-in-law in the yard went home for the New Year, Xiaotong closed the courtyard door early, packed up a table to eat, and sat opposite Nan Xiruo on the warm kang, and ate until the second half of the night before falling asleep.
Early the next morning, Hua's mother came to pass the word, saying that there were distinguished guests at home in the past few days, and if there was no big event, Nan Xiruo was not allowed to go to the front yard.
