Serving Xie Shi to go to bed to rest, but Xin's mother came in, Xie took Xia Mengning's hand and said, "You have seen the situation today, your grandmother ......"

Xie Shi didn't continue, but Xia Mengning held her with both hands, "Grandmother, isn't Ning Er okay?" ”

The soft voice was a little hoarse, "Grandmother, Ning'er is fine, daddy and he...... I'm still worried about Ning'er. ”

This silly girl! Xie thought in his heart, and her mother and grandmother have the same temperament, thinking of this, Xie said to Xia Mengning: "There are few capable people in your courtyard, I will go and ask Ya Pozi to bring some girls in a few days, you can pick a few, how to say that it is also a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't be laughed at." ”

"Thank you, grandmother." Xia Meng said softly.

"I have a mother Chen by my side, this mother Xin has been with me for more than 20 years, Mother Xin!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to Mother Xin on the side and said, "You will go to Zhuzhiyuan to serve the third lady in the future, are you willing?" Mother Xin nodded, Xia Mengning was slightly surprised, "Grandmother, then ...... beside you?"

Xie shook his head and smiled lovingly: "Although my grandmother is old, her heart is not old, no matter how powerful the Fang family's mother is, she won't dare to do anything to me, don't worry." ”

Xia Mengning had no choice but to nod, and Xie Shi waved his hand, "I'll let Mother Xin go early tomorrow morning, you go back and rest first." ”

Xia Mengning carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for the Xie family, and said softly, "Grandmother, Ning'er wants to go to Jingming Temple tomorrow to repay her vows, and pray for her grandmother by the way." ”

Xie Shi smiled when he heard this, "Yes, you are already fine, you should go to the Buddha to thank the Buddha, go, let the house transfer a few more guards to accompany you tomorrow." ”

Xia Mengning thanked her for her kindness, and when she walked out of the door, she turned her head and smiled at Mother Xin: "Tomorrow is not just in time for Mother Xin to come to my garden, Mother Xin is a person who is a Buddha, let's go together tomorrow." ”

Mother Xin hung her head, "Thank you, Miss Three." ”

Seeing Xia Mengning walk away, Xin's mother walked back to the back room, Xie leaned on the side of the bed, "She's gone?" ”

Xin's mother stepped forward and picked up the cushion and put it on Xie's back for her to lean on, Xie coughed a few times, Xin's mother hurriedly asked, "Why is the old lady still coughing, didn't the doctor read it and said it was okay?" ”

Xie Shi looked at her: "Qiu Rong ......"

Mother Xin was stunned for a moment, raised her head to look at Xie, and didn't understand why she suddenly called her name.

"Qiu Rong, you can see it today, this Fang clan is a straight person, and he can't suffer any loss, Ning Er cut off her eyeliner, she will show her mother's power regardless of it, but that Ning Er is not a master to deal with......"

Xie Shi seemed to think of something, his face turned cold, "How can I not see her little bit of caution, she has endured it for the past few years, I'm afraid that it will finally come to an end, but this child is growing up more and more, and it is inevitable that she will take it lightly if she has not experienced the world, and now it seems that she even hates her father, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will be a big trouble." ”

Mother Xin comforted: "The old lady is too worried, don't you know what kind of character the third lady is, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, she is really forced to do it." ”

Xie Shi was silent when he heard this, and only after a while did he say, "No matter what, I will never let anyone endanger the honor of this Prime Minister's Mansion, Qiu Rong, Ning Er is a smart child, if she just wants to find the Fang clan for revenge, she will follow her, anyway, this Fang clan has no effect, you go and look at her, come and tell me anything." ”

After speaking, he looked at Mother Xin again, "You are the old man next to me, and you know what to do." ”

When she looked at Xin's mother, she was a little indifferent and arrogant, and Xin's mother understood what she meant, and lowered her head and said, "The slave understands." "Go ahead, I'll be alone and quiet."

Mother Xin lowered her head and retreated, closing the door softly, Xie Shi clasped his hands on his body, and a glimmer of light slowly flashed in his somewhat cloudy eyes, this Ning'er, I don't know whether to stay or not.

Xia Mengning returned to the Bamboo Branch Garden, Jiu'er was still standing at the door, seeing Xia Mengning coming back, with a smile on her face, Zhulian also smiled at her, "It's been so long, go down and sleep, and work tomorrow morning." ”

Jiu'er looked at Xia Mengning, and when she saw that the other party nodded, she bowed and retreated.

After entering the house, Xia Mengning asked Zhulian to wait for washing, changed her clothes, sat on the bed with only her middle coat, looked at the red candle on the table and asked, "Zhulian, what do you think about today's events?" ”

Zhu Lian opened her mouth and said, "It's obviously the ghost of the eldest lady. ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "Zhulian, I'm afraid today's matter won't be so simple, although the Fang clan is vicious, but after all, she is a young lady, and the straw bag is not to be feared, if you want to survive under her nose with peace of mind, it is not difficult, but I heard that this Fang clan's biological mother seems to be dying soon, and the old general of the Zhenguo Gong wants to straighten out the young aunt, when the time comes, this Fang clan is afraid that she will lose her backer, and that aunt has two sons, both of whom are both civil and military, but because she is a concubine, she is not allowed to exert her fists and feet, and now, The power has to be reversed. ”

Zhu Lian was a little puzzled, and asked softly: "Since this is natural, the eldest lady has no backer, so the young lady doesn't have to be afraid of her, but the general of the Zhenguo Gong, he is still the eldest lady's brother-in-law." ”

Xia Mengning smiled slightly: "Don't worry about this, that aunt can give birth to two sons and grow up healthy, which means that she still has a mind, if she is carried out of the main room, then the title of General Zhenguo will definitely be changed." ”

Zhu Lian nodded, and asked worriedly: "Miss's incident today, will the eldest lady find out, I'm afraid it will be troublesome in the future." ”

Xia Mengning shook his head: "Even if I don't resist and endure humiliation and steal my life like before, the Fang clan will not let me go, instead of being passive, it is better to go out and fight for a future, many things, how can you know if you will succeed if you don't fight hard?" ”

Xia Mengning said, her palms clenched, "These things that happened when I woke up, my father, the Fang family and my grandmother must have seen it in my eyes, even if I am afraid, I have no choice, for today's plan, I can only find a backer to save my life first, and I don't want to worry about the rest." ”

Zhu Lian nodded, feeling sad for a while, Miss is a good person, why did she have to go through so many tribulations.

"Zhulian," Xia Mengning said, "No matter what happens in the future, you have to tell me first, and also, Jiu'er and Mother Xin, don't completely believe it." ”

Zhu Lian covered her mouth, "But Miss, that Jiu'er is not ......" "I know, it's just that the water in this house is too deep, and I don't have complete confidence in believing in one person, except for myself, that is, the fourth aunt and you, you two are the people I trust the most, so in the future, you must remember to talk to the two of them one layer apart,"

"Miss, you are like this, will you be too tired, then Jiu'er is in the garden, if you have any crooked thoughts, it is better to simply get out, and save us from guarding against it every day."

Xia Mengning sighed, "No, we don't know if Jiu'er is sincere or not, but if she is sincere, staying by her side will also be a test, and it will not be too late to reuse it then, if it is a chess piece, we will kick her out, and that person will try to send another one in, for the sake of today's plan, we can only put it on hold like this first, at least we are in Ming, and we will not be passive." ”

Zhu Lian listened to it, nodded and said, "The slave knows." ”

"Let's go down first, there will be something tomorrow." Xia Mengning said, Zhu Lian stepped forward to put down the tent for her, extinguished two candles, and walked out quietly.

Xia Mengning didn't feel sleepy, just lay on the bed and looked at the tent in a daze, she remembered the path she had chosen for herself now, it was very bumpy, maybe one wrong step would lead to no life, but what should I do, I can't forget how stupid I was in my previous life, I can't forget how insulted and framed myself by those people I treated wholeheartedly, and children, children who are so young, were tortured to death by a high fever, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and little by little they seeped into her hair, Xia Mengning closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, It's already clear.

Grandmother sent Mother Xin to herself, nothing more than to monitor herself, Xia Mengning thought, but there was no way, no matter whether her grandmother was sincere or false to herself, this Mother Xin asked for it by herself, just because if she could be around, she could block a lot of incidents, and she could also worry about it, as for her father's side, Xia Mengning thought, today I am afraid that it is not how important she is in his heart, just because I heard the news that this Fang's mother is going to die, after all, the title of official luck and prime minister is what my father cherishes the most.

Xia Mengning thought, her grandmother's birthday is close at hand, and then it is the queen mother's birthday, and she was promised to the eldest grandson Mo after the queen mother's birthday, it seems that time is very urgent, but how can I avoid marrying the eldest grandson Mo, Xia Mengning bit her lower lip, in this life, I only want revenge, marry someone and live a dull life, but who do you want to marry to protect yourself, after all, in this prime minister's mansion, the longer you stay, the more you change, you are just a concubine, and you have no power to fight against others, For the sake of today, the only way to find a backer is to find a backer first, Xia Mengning recalled the things in her previous life, who is the most suitable?
