Shuying took out a handkerchief from his waist, wiped his face gently, and with a drop of his hand, the handkerchief fell to the ground slowly.

An Yue leaned over to pick it up, but Shuying stopped her and said, "My face is dirty, which makes Miss Rong angry." The silk is dirty now, too, so you don't have to pick it up. ”

Then she smiled and saluted Xie Yujiao, and said without humility or arrogance:

"My sister can't compensate the fourth sister. I will carefully consider what my sister said, and I ask my sister to help me tell my eldest sister, saying that I am willing to discuss with the Nie family, but I have to let everyone come to make a statement and be a witness. It's not early, this small courtyard is really dilapidated, and it can't afford a fire, so my sister won't leave my sister and Miss Rong to eat! ”

The mother and daughter have returned to their quiet, delicate and weak appearance when they first came, but Lu Xiurong's restless eyes have been squinting, and there are still pitiful teardrops hanging in the corners of her eyes. Xie Yujiao covered her heart and let her subordinates help her away.

Seeing them off, Liluo and An Yue both hugged Shuying and sat down.

An Yue scolded the mother and daughter for not talking, and even talked about the night their master and servant first came, they were bullied so much that they couldn't even eat a bowl of hot rice, and they were not in good spirits the next day, which was a good thing for the second and fourth rooms. Liluo desperately held back her tears and whispered if Shuying hurt.

It was only a momentary pain, and the child's strength was small, so it didn't make Shuying suffer much. She shook her head and took the hands of the two, "Between you and my master and servant, we should be of one heart and one mind, not to mention that I regard you as my sisters, and I must share the same spirit and weal and woe!" Today I have lost face in front of outsiders, and I have also lost face in yours, which is my incompetence...... In the future, I will not let others trample on our heads again, and I will not let you be bullied! ”

Closing her eyes, all kinds of pain rose from the bottom of her heart, and she began to understand the truth that her mother taught her back then, if you don't fight or grab, people may not think you are kind and amiable.

Sometimes, repaying grievances with virtue is the biggest insult to oneself.

As expected, Xie Yuyuan connived at Nie Afu to make trouble in the Hou Mansion for many days on the grounds that Nie Afu heard that the main room was fierce and did not dare to see Xie Shuying, and put all the responsibility on her.

Since they are definitely dissatisfied with Xie Shuying's arrangement, the Nie family will definitely continue to make trouble, so why bother to defend themselves and make wedding clothes for others instead. Nie Shi stood on the opposite side of her, and even if he knew something, he wouldn't tell her half the truth, so this line was about broken. For now, he can only slowly approach the other people who are related to Lu Cheng, in order to find a breakthrough as soon as possible and get useful evidence.

As for that concubine, it's really a hard bone, so take your time......

An Yue is addicted to practicing calligraphy, and every time they send a letter to Shentu Mansion, she comes to write on behalf of Shuying. Shuying praised her calligraphy for her great progress, and if she continued to practice like this, it would not be a problem to be a female gentleman.

It's strange that they wrote three letters, but none of them replied to Shentuzhen.

If he suspects that this letter was not written by Xie Shuying himself, then he shouldn't be. In the past, An Yue helped her copy books and was discovered by him, and with his cleverness, he should have recognized An Yue's handwriting.

Now there are only two explanations that make sense, either Shentu is suspicious, or the people in the Hou Mansion are suspicious.

It was the second day of August, and the weather was much cooler than when she first entered the house in July. Shuying has always called herself sick and lives in a simple house, but Xiuqin knows Sister Ying's difficulties and comes to talk to her as usual.

Xiuqin saw that An Yue was writing again, remembered the interesting story that Shuying said last time, and said with a smile: "Sister Ying, this is lazy again!" ”

Shuying was making incense seals, and she couldn't use it for two purposes, so she had to stop, "Qin'er, we wrote so many letters back, but he didn't bother to reply a word, compared to him, I am still more diligent." ”

"From Yangshan to the city, it is only half a day's journey at most. It will be faster to send the letter over there, and when the concierge receives the letter, he will ask the little maid to send it to the second door immediately, and Mama Jiang will send someone to distribute it to each hospital. So your brother really didn't write to you! ”

She asks Riraku, who says that her mother never received a letter from Shadow Girl.

"Maybe we were delayed when we sent it out!"

Xiuqin denied it again, saying that the letter sent out during the day also arrived in half a day, and the people from the Youchu delivery shop would come to collect it again, for example, Shuying wrote the letter and sent it away immediately this evening, and it would definitely be delivered before the third watch. Because her mother Liu also often sends letters to the family, she is very familiar with it.

"That's amazing! Last time An Yue went to ask, the young man also said that he would send it the next morning. ”

"How so? Didn't my sister send it late and didn't have time to receive it? ”

"I guess, I'll have to go early next time."

Having said that, she knew it in her heart. Those correspondence between himself and Shentu Mansion should have been intercepted.

She gave An Yue a look, and An Yue put down the pen and said, "Girl, I've written it, I'll send it over, and I promise not to delay!" ”

"I'll go with you, so that I can ask for clarification, so that they don't have to hide it from us!"

She spread out the fragrant seal grass and asked the pears to fall and put them away, and then get them when they came back.

Xiuqin also said that she remembered that her mother explained that she went back earlier today to learn to settle accounts, and she couldn't stay in this yard longer. Shuying walked with her for a while, and when she entered the courtyard gate, she went to the gatehouse.

The young man in the porter's name was Xiaoshun, wearing a turban, and when he saw Shuying and them coming, he said that the master had gone to eat and drink, and he had anything to order.

An Yue talked directly about the delivery of the letter and asked him why he explained to her differently from others. Xiao Shun was secretive, his words flickered, he looked reluctant to talk to them, and there was something hidden under his hand. An Yuesheng struck east and west, snatched the letter in his hand and saw that it was the letter a few days ago, and the envelope was damaged, and it had obviously been opened.

Shuying took the envelope and asked him sternly who had opened her letter.

Xiaoshun tossed and turned over and over and only said that he didn't keep it well, and the letter was just stolen to see it, and then returned it while he wasn't paying attention.

She couldn't do anything about Xiaoshun, and said that she would go to the housekeeper to ask for clarification, and Xiaoshun was so frightened that she grabbed the letter.

At this moment, she suddenly felt the letter in her hand being siphoned off. Looking back, it turned out to be Lu Qi.

Without waiting for the shadow to explain the situation, he folded the letter a few times and tore it into many pieces.

Shuying didn't know whether to be angry or afraid for a while, and suddenly raised his head, just in time to meet his warning gaze. The cold light in these eyes was as cold as the star, as cold as the last time he was in the mourning hall, which made Shuying retreat slightly, and at the same time took a deep breath, slowly sorting out the thoughts in his mind.

After a while, Lu Qi turned his hostile gaze and said in a calm and low voice: "This matter must not be publicized, otherwise it will be bad for you." You can rewrite one and leave it to me. ”

"I don't believe you." Shuying actually knew that he was right, and indeed she was impulsive, and she shouldn't have startled the snake at this time and attracted the attention of the person in the shadows. But she really didn't want to rely on others, so she categorically refused it.

Lu Qi shook his head and sneered, noncommittal about her attitude, turned to Xiaoshun to explain his affairs, and handed over a letter to He Jianheng with both hands.

She heard Lu Qi mention He Jianheng, and saw that the envelope was really his name, so she blurted out in surprise: "Who do you know?" ”

Xiao Shun hurriedly replied: "The girl probably doesn't know yet, our little boy is a student of He Zi!" ”

Lu Qi didn't speak, only gave him a quick look.
