Chapter 263: Covetous

Xiao Yunling was able to commit suicide by hanging the beam, but Aunt Mei really didn't expect it.

She stared at Xiao Yunling angrily and frightened, and Xiao Yunling was lying flat on the bed, even though she was slapped by Aunt Mei, she was still silent.

"Why don't you listen to it?" Aunt Mei staggered and sat down on the edge of the bed, and said to Xiao Yunling, who was not in the oil and salt. "I've locked you up for months, and you've only started to stop making noise in the past few days, I thought you figured it out. Do you know what day it is? ”

Xiao Yunling looked at the top of the bed with a pair of empty eyes, as if she hadn't heard Aunt Mei's words.

"Today, most of the people in the mansion have gone to Princess Zhaoyue's mansion." Aunt Mei simply continued. "Princess Zhaoyue's child is full moon today, and Princess Zhaoyue's mansion holds a full moon banquet. Why do you still look down on Duan Shaolan, who you took the initiative to dedicate yourself to five years ago, and can still look up to you today? ”

Xiao Yunling listened to Aunt Mei's words, and still didn't speak, but her body trembled slightly.

Aunt Mei had no choice, and despite the dissuasion of the maids, she dragged Xiao Yunling, who was lying on the bed, and dragged her off the bed, pulled her to the dressing table, and put her head against the bronze mirror.

"You take a good look in the mirror and look at yourself?!" Aunt Mei was so angry that her voice was a little hoarse. "When it comes to background, appearance, and age, what point can you compare with Princess Zhaoyue. Duan Shaolan was not bewitched by you five years ago, but now that he has a princess and an eldest son, he doesn't look down on you! ”

Xiao Yunling's face was pressed against the cold bronze mirror, and she couldn't help but shed tears when she looked at her distorted face in the mirror.

Aunt Mei didn't continue to speak, but Xiao Yunling took advantage of her unpreparedness, and pushed Aunt Mei away from nowhere, Aunt Mei didn't have any defense against Xiao Yunling suddenly making a move, and Aunt Mei was pushed to the ground.

"Stop Miss!" Aunt Mei's body fell to the ground, half of her body and arms touched the ground, she didn't have time to exhale pain, and out of the corner of her eye, she had already caught a glimpse of Xiao Yunling rushing out.

The banquet ended, and Xiao Xuan held the child and Duan Shaolan to see off the guests outside the hall.

"Big brother, sixth brother, come back to my house another day." Xiao Xuan said with a smile.

"Okay." Without waiting for Xiao Yu to speak, Xiao Jun agreed with great interest. "I've been there for a few months before I come back, and my father will reward me with a few more days off, and I'll definitely come over to see my little nephew when the time comes."

"Don't think about how many days off your father gave you." Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Jun and reminded him. "It's not that you'll be fine when you return to the imperial capital, and you have to write the excerpt of the debriefing."

"Alright, alright." Xiao Jun was so upset by Xiao Yu that she had a headache, and hurriedly took the Zhao family next to her to get into the carriage.

When the guests dispersed, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.

The child, who was already drowsy in his swaddling clothes, was startled and opened his eyes crying.

"Let's take my brother back first and coax him." Listening to the movement in front of him, Xiao Xuan had no choice but to hand over the brother in his arms to the nurse to hold. "Dan Tang followed the nurse to send my brother back, and Lvlin went out with me to have a look."

"Why don't you go out?" ushered in the whole day, Duan Shaolan knew that Xiao Xuan was tired. "I'll take a look."

"It's okay, I'll take a look." Xiao Xuan shook his head and said.

"Alright, let's go together." Duan Shaolan stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Xuan's left hand, and the two walked forward hand in hand.

As soon as Duan Shaolan and Xiao Xuan arrived at the gate of the mansion, Xiao Xuan immediately recognized who the person who was stopped was, it turned out to be Xiao Yunling, who had a relationship with her before giving birth.

Xiao Yunling's clothes were loosely dressed, and her hair was scattered on her body.

As soon as Duan Shaolan appeared, Xiao Yunling suddenly stopped her movements and stood stunned looking at Duan Shaolan.

When Xiao Xuan saw Xiao Yunling in the Zhenguo Mansion before, judging from the reactions of Duansu County Lord and Duan Shaolan, he knew that something had definitely happened between Xiao Yunling and Duan Shaolan.

In addition, almost all the unmarried ladies in the Xianwang Mansion came to the banquet with the elders of the family today, Xiao Xuan noticed that Xiao Yunling did not come with him. It stands to reason that Xiao Yunling is the oldest among the unmarried ladies in the Xianwang Mansion, and she left the imperial capital for five years before coming back, and today's occasion is the most suitable for her to appear, but she is the only one who has not arrived.

Xiao Xuan's explanation at that time was vaguely remembered by the princess of Xianwang, and she thought that Xiao Yunling's mother had fallen ill for many days, so she couldn't come.

"Green Forest, go and invite Miss Ling in."

Although the guests in the house have dispersed at this time, there are still many people coming and going on the street. No matter what reason Xiao Yunling came to Princess Zhaoyue's Mansion for what reason, it was obviously not suitable for making trouble outside.

Lu Lin understood, and stepped forward to invite Xiao Yunling into the mansion.

Xiao Yunling looked at Xiao Xuan, who was standing with Duan Shaolan at the gate of the mansion, and didn't say anything, just followed the green forest and walked in.

"Send someone to the Xianwang Mansion to deliver a message, saying that Miss Ling has come to my mansion."

Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan sat upright, and after Xiao Yunling was introduced into the hall by the green forest, she refused to sit down and stood stubbornly in place.

Standing beside her, Lu Lin looked at Xiao Xuan with some embarrassment, Xiao Xuan waved his hand disapprovingly and signaled Lu Lin to retreat outside the hall to guard.

"I heard that Sister Ling is unwell and is recuperating at home." Xiao Xuan smiled dignifiedly and raised her eyebrows to look at Xiao Yunling. "What is Sister Ling'er doing when she comes to my princess's mansion at this hour?"

"I'm not here to see the princess." Xiao Yunling was born sweet, but her expression was sluggish at this time, and she only stared firmly at Duan Shaolan, who was sitting next to Xiao Xuan, and said. "I'm here for Cousin Lan."

"Looks like I'm thinking right." Xiao Yunling's answer was completely expected by Xiao Xuan, although Xiao Yunling spoke without measure, Xiao Xuan was not annoyed at all. "Mother treats people with nothing to do with her status, but she treats you, a young lady from the Xianwang Mansion, with a completely different attitude, with a little disgust in her indifference. On the day you first met the Zhenguo Mansion, you should have intentionally asked Sister Chu to take you back to the Zhenguo Mansion, right? ”

"If the princess knows what to expect, why do you ask me more?" Xiao Yunling looked at Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan, who were like a pair of beautiful people, and gritted her back molars and said. "Isn't the princess curious about what happened between me and Cousin Lan?"

"Sister Ling laughed, it's just an old thing, why should I know?" Xiao Xuan looked at Duan Shaolan, Duan Shaolan didn't speak, but just held Xiao Xuan's hand hanging by his side. "It wouldn't have been a good thing, and it didn't matter if I knew anything. But if anyone still covets my colt now, Sister Ling believes it or not, even if you don't need me to help, someone will naturally teach you a lesson for me. ”

"You!" Xiao Yunling was like a madman, and suddenly rushed forward two steps.

Duan Shaolan got up as soon as possible and protected Xiao Xuan's whole person behind him.

"Cousin Lan, why don't you even say a word to me when you see me now?" Xiao Yunling stopped her movements and asked with tears in her eyes. "Five years ago, weren't we almost married? If it weren't for my aunt and parents who didn't like me as a concubine, I would have been able to marry you back then, where would I let you lose the princess. ”

Xiao Xuan listened to Xiao Yunling's words, and suddenly couldn't react.

"Xuan'er, don't listen to her nonsense." Duan Shaolan immediately looked back and said to Xiao Xuan. "I'll explain it to you, it's definitely not as she said."

"yes, okay." Xiao Xuan looked at Duan Shaolan's eyes, nodded and said.

The people from the Xianwang Mansion came quickly.

"Third aunt." When the visitor was ushered in, Duan Shaolan recognized the visitor.

"The courtiers have seen the princess and the colt." After Xiao Yunling ran out, Aunt Mei immediately sent someone to tell the Han family the news.

If you want to come to Princess Zhaoyue's mansion to pick up people, it is obvious that Aunt Mei's identity is poor, and only the Han family, who is Xiao Yunling's mother-in-law, can come forward.

"The third aunt doesn't have to be polite." Xiao Xuan followed Duan Shaolan's seniority to call people, and seeing that Han was weak, he personally stepped forward to help Han get up. "You should have come to pick up Sister Ling and go home, right?"

"Yes." Han Shi looked up and observed Xiao Xuan's face, Xiao Xuan's face was not different, so she couldn't figure out what Xiao Yunling said after she ran over. "Sister Ling has been sick for a long time, and she has not rested and messed up her senses. I disturbed the princess today, and the courtiers apologized to the princess on her behalf, hoping that the princess would forgive her. ”

"Confused?" Xiao Xuan glanced at Xiao Yunling, who was sitting on the ground. "I see, then I don't have to take the crazy words she just said to heart."

"Yes, Princess." Han secretly hated in his heart.

"In that case, it is enough for me to hear these words once." Xiao Xuan straightened his expression and said to Han. "In the future, it is better not for me to hear anyone talk about my colt and other women, otherwise I will look good-tempered, but in fact hate people who think about me the most, and I really don't know what I will do when I am angry. Sister Ling is sick, just recuperate in the house, don't come out and run around again. ”

"The courtiers know." Han Shi galloped all the way, the carriage was very bumpy, her body was already unwell, and after listening to Xiao Xuan's words, her back was even more sweaty, soaking layers of clothes. "The princess commanded the courtiers to do so."

"That's for the best." Xiao Xuan nodded in satisfaction. "It's not too early, I won't leave my third aunt and sister Ling'er."

"The courtiers withdrew." Han brought someone here, and when he heard this, he immediately stepped forward and dragged Xiao Yunling up to leave.

Just as they dragged people past Duan Shaolan's side, Xiao Yunling grabbed the corner of Duan Shaolan's robe.

"Cousin Lan." Xiao Yunling was locked up for a few months, and it was easy to escape to see Duan Shaolan, how could she be willing to leave in embarrassment like this. "You and I grew up as childhood sweethearts, don't you really have any affection for me?"
