Chapter 230: After the Cutting of the Domain
Xia Huaiqing, who had just finished handling official business, had a headache, and many powerful people in the court had a new tendency to climb after the emperor cut the domain. Who can say for sure what is going on in this court except for the emperor? Although he is a marquis, the marquis of Qi and the king of Yunnan were both pulled off the horse, not to mention themselves?
Only by doing his part can he really make Xia Huaiqing feel at ease.
"Master, the eldest lady is here to bring you ginseng soup."
Xia Huaiqing's head hurt even more, this Xia Zhiqiu has been thinking of ways to please himself recently. Xia Huaiqing really couldn't figure it out, wasn't it good to wait quietly for the marriage with the nineteenth prince? Why do such a thankless task. At the previous dinner table, in front of the face of the nineteenth prince, he could quarrel with Xia Zhixue and the two of them, completely ignoring his old father's face, why has he changed his face now?
Some little things just want to please themselves, no way!
Xia Huaiqing waved his hand, "Tell the eldest lady that I am busy with business now and have no time to drink this ginseng soup." ”
Xia Huaiqing's personal maid asked again, and then returned to the door of the room with a bitter ginseng soup. Xia Zhixue stood at the door in plain clothes, the breeze gently blew Xia Zhiqiu's hair, and the maidservants on the side were stunned.
The personal maid cleared her throat, "Miss, please go back." The old man is busy with business now, and he has no time to drink ginseng soup. Such a good thing, the girl herself can take it. The old man said that he had already understood this intention. ”
Originally, Xia Zhiqiu didn't expect Xia Huaiqing to give him a good look, and he already understood what he knew. These words are just not wanting to lose face, and the servant girl herself said to herself.
"Then please let Daddy drink it before going to bed. Zhiqiu stayed up all afternoon, presumably his father also felt sorry for Zhiqiu's heart, and he wouldn't give Zhiqiu this face. Before the maid could react, Xia Zhiqiu slipped away, leaving only a group of people with a graceful and colorful back, "Then Zhiqiu won't bother." Retirement. ”
Xia Huaiqing's personal maid was at a loss for what to do with the ginseng soup, so she simply returned to Xia Huaiqing's study, "Master, the eldest lady left this and left." ”
Xia Huaiqing glanced at the black ginseng soup and frowned, "Forget it, let her go." If only you didn't give me plain trouble. Let's put the ginseng soup there first, and then drink it when I'm done with what I have at hand. ”
The maidservant obediently put the ginseng soup on the table a foot away from Xia Huaiqing, she knew that Xia Huaiqing had never liked this kind of big tonic thing, let alone the daughter who didn't invite her to bring it.
It was already midnight after Xia Huaiqing, who was addicted to official business, was busy with it, and the bright moon outside hung high in the sky, accompanied by gusts of breeze, gradually blowing away the sorrow in Xia Huaiqing's heart. Sure enough, the ancients said that it is true that a charming scenery can relax people's mood.
Back in the house, Xia Huaiqing had forgotten all the good things sent by Xia Zhiqiu during the day, drank tea and slept in loose clothes.
"You said you didn't move?" Xia Zhiqiu took the case and asked Xiaomei angrily. Book every day
Xiaomei just asked from a maid in Xia Huaiqing's courtyard, although she had expected Xia Zhiqiu's reaction, she was still taken aback by her appearance. "Don't be angry, girl, maybe the master just forgot about it for a while."
"Forgot? I think he forgot about my daughter! Xia Zhiqiu casually picked up a teacup on the table and smashed it on the ground. The crisp sound is exceptionally clear at night.
Xiaomei frowned and helped Xia Zhiqiu to sit on the bed, "If the old man hears it, isn't all your efforts for so long in vain?" ”
Xia Zhiqiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, finally calming down. During this time, Xia Zhixue was proud, and her own father didn't give her a good look, how could she bear this breath?
"He knows eccentricity! Seeing that Xia Zhixue was proud for a while, she completely ignored the life and death of this daughter! "No, you must let Xia Huaiqing see herself.
The anxiety in his heart made Xia Zhiqiu beat his chest, expressing his unwillingness. It's so cheap to send ginseng soup, I have to let him really see that there is still my daughter!
Xiaomei gave Xia Zhiqiu a smooth breath next to her, speaking of ginseng soup, Xiaomei disdainfully wanted to roll her eyes, obviously Xia Zhiqiu didn't have any strength at all, what nerves are you still having here in the middle of the night? Xiaomei turned her sore wrist slightly, since she followed Xia Zhiqiu, she had no free time. I thought I could escape from Shen Wei's poisonous woman's hands, but I didn't expect to meet a more powerful character.
Xiaomei thought about the time when she was working in Shen Wei's courtyard, and Xia Chengdao always did something to the maids like them who were a little bit beautiful. Of course, Xiaomei, who is not very bad-looking, inevitably had some physical contact with Xia Chengdao.
She knew how distracted Xia Chengdao was, but she couldn't decide that heart. Even though she was forced by Shen Wei to do some hard work every day, she was willing. But one day, suddenly Shen Wei sent herself to Xia Zhiqiu's courtyard with a few excuses.
originally expected Xia Zhiqiu to be Xia Chengdao's own sister, and she could always get rid of Shen Wei's constraints and take a good look at her Chengdao brother, but she didn't expect Shen Wei's calculations, nor did she expect that even if she was her own sister, Xia Chengdao would inevitably come to see Xia Zhiqiu once a month. Xiaomei's heart was like ashes, but she didn't dare to have a seizure because of Shen Wei's identity as the master.
"That's right, Xiaomei. I have something to tell you. Xia Zhiqiu suddenly came out after a long day of silence.
Xiaomei nodded suspiciously, although this master is not as cunning as Shen Wei's old treacherous and cunning, he is still ruthless and vicious in doing things, and he is better than Shen Wei. In Xiaomei's eyes, Shen Wei is bad in her heart, while Xia Zhiqiu has nothing left, only the ruthlessness in her bones.
"Shen Wei sent you here to spy on me. Or, more accurately, instigation. instigated me to bring Xia Zhixue down. Xia Zhiqiu bluntly named the topic. In this case, if you are talking in a roundabout way, it is just a waste of time.
Xiaomei was 10,000 shocked in her heart, Shen Wei had indeed talked to her before she came. But when Xia Zhiqiu really asked her, she didn't know how to speak. I wanted to deny it, but I knew that Xia Zhiqiu must have known something to ask so. But how could she admit such a situation?
Do you want her to tell Xia Zhiqiu in person, yes, I was sent to monitor your fine work? I'm afraid that after saying that, how can there be a place for her in the huge Houfu? Xiaomei had to admire Shen Wei's methods in her heart, if she didn't do a good job for her, when Xia Zhiqiu found out what she had reported to Shen Wei before, Xia Zhiqiu would not let her go no matter what.
Xiaomei really understands the truth that it is difficult to ride a tiger now, maybe she should have been more fierce at the beginning, even if she has been staying by Shen Wei's side and being a person, it is much better than being scared now.
