Jiu'er went to call in response, and Xia Mengning smiled at Chen's mother: "The weather is so hot, mom sit down and have a cup of tea." Mother Chen hurriedly waved her hand, but Xia Mengning said to Zhu Lian, "Why don't you pour tea for Mother Chen?" ”

Zhu Lian poured the tea, Chen's mother didn't want to excuse herself, so she had to take it and take a sip, Xia Mengning looked at Chen's mother's appearance and said with a smile: "Mother Chen, let's sit down, Mother Xin won't be able to come out for a while." ”

Mother Chen was so shocked that she spilled a few drops of tea and asked, "What did the third lady say?" ”

Xia Mengning smiled, "Mother Xin is the person in front of my grandmother, my garden is so big, Jiu'er can do the rough work on weekdays, and she only likes Zhulian when she serves me closely, after all, Zhulian grew up serving me since she was a child, and I am not used to changing anyone." Xin's mother may be angry with me for this, after returning from the mountain, she locked herself in the house, just now when I had lunch, I sent Jiu'er to shout, maybe I was tired of climbing the mountain, Xin's mother was taking a nap. ”

Chen's mother 'ah', the teacup didn't hold it steady, it rolled on the ground, the garden was sandy, the teacup was not broken, but the tea was spilled on the ground.

"Mother Chen, what's wrong?" Xia Mengning hurriedly asked, giving Zhu Lian a look.

Zhu Lian hurriedly walked over and helped Chen's mother up, and sighed: "Mother Chen, don't blame Miss, Miss has a gentle temperament since she was a child, and she really doesn't like others to interfere in her close affairs, Xin's mother is not happy, and Miss is in a hurry." ”

Mother Chen hid the embarrassed look on her face, bent over and said, "The old slave is rude, the third lady forgive me." ”

Mother Xin was invited out at this moment, sleepy-eyed, as if she hadn't figured out the situation yet, Xia Mengning shouted: "Mother Xin can sleep well, Mother Chen has come to invite you to go with grandmother's words." ”

Mother Chen walked to Mother Xin and pinched it hard, Mother Xin woke up immediately, and when she saw Xia Mengning's smiling eyes, she only felt a trace of coldness in her heart.

"Mother Chen, let's hurry up and do what my grandmother explained, and by the way, I apologize to my grandmother for Ning'er, Ning'er neglected Mother Xin, and asked my grandmother to forgive her."

The two walked out, Xia Mengning sat upright, a beautiful face showing a little smugness, and her shining eyes were full of cunning agility.

On the big tree in the Prime Minister's Mansion, a white and a black two people looked carefully, and the man in white said: "Leng Xiao, what do you think of the third young lady?" ”

The man in black looked at it and said, "According to the eyes of his subordinates, these three young ladies are afraid that she is a scheming person with a city government, and she is not like a woman in the past. The man in white is the eldest grandson Yun, he returned to the mansion and put down the painting and called his secret guard Leng Xiao to go to the prime minister's mansion again, Xia Mengning was well-behaved and generous in front of the people, of course he knew how to pretend to it, but why was he willing to indulge in this unreal tenderness at that time, Changsun Yun didn't know, but when he approached her, the faint fragrance on her body, her jade-like skin, her shy expression, and her rebuttal of righteous words in the face of other people's provocations, all made people intoxicated.

I have never met such a woman, who can affect her joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and make herself like a hairy boy, who actually does such a thing as voyeurism in broad daylight.

"If it's easy to control, then what's the use of me marrying, the woman who can stand by my side in the future must be someone who is superior in appearance and wisdom."

The man in black was silent for a while before he said, "But this third lady, after all, is a concubine, and the prince is there, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with." ”

At this moment, Xia Mengning seemed to feel something, and the eyes that were still smiling just now instantly looked here, and the cold breath made Leng Xiao who was hiding in the tree shiver.

How could this woman find herself? Leng Xiao was thinking about it, and Changsun Yun laughed, "It seems that I underestimated her, not only is she scheming, but she also knows martial arts, such a person is really getting more and more interesting." ”

The two left quickly, Xia Mengning saw it, picked up the teacup and smiled, Changsun Yun really took the bait, and even such a voyeuristic thing could be done.

He doesn't know martial arts, he just writes the method of nourishing qi, in his previous life, Changsun Mo couldn't protect himself, and he stupidly thought that he couldn't let himself drag him down, it was too late to practice martial arts at that time, so he could only concentrate on cultivating some methods of nourishing qi, although he couldn't fight and kill, he could deal with one or two people, and avoid chasing, it should still be okay.

Changsun Yun is not a person to fool, Xia Meng knows in his heart that he is just gambling, betting on his feelings about himself, and gambling on his life.

Xin's mother and Chen's mother went back to Rongfutang, Chen's mother told Xie the reason for the matter, Xie's face was pale, she grabbed a teacup and threw it on Xin's mother's head, where did Xin's mother dare to hide, she could only take it stiffly.

"I asked you to go over to spy on her, but you were beaten by her Tai Chi, why, do you think that Miss gave you face, you are really the master? They are all old people, so they can't even see the relationship clearly. ”

Xie Shi was angry, thinking that he was exposed in front of Xia Mengning, he only felt embarrassed on his face, Xin's mother knelt down and said nothing, she didn't know what was wrong with her, why did she go back to the house to sleep inexplicably, and she was so rude.

Xie Shi finally calmed down the anger in his heart, waved his hand, and said: "Third Miss can't let you go anywhere, tomorrow I will let Ya Pozi come and choose a maid for her again, Mother Chen, you go and arrange it." ”

Both of them went down, Xie twisted the jade ring in his hand, this Ning'er, I'm afraid it's really hard to deal with, she wants to make trouble about other things, how to say that she and her grandmother are also handkerchiefs, but this is related to the honor and disgrace of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so you can't take it lightly.

Xin's mother didn't come back until dinner, Xia Mengning was served and rinsed her mouth, picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth; "What's the matter, have you inquired clearly?"

Jiu'er hurriedly said, "The slave maid went to inquire about the maids in the front yard in the afternoon, and I heard from them that the old lady was so angry, and when Mother Xin came out, blood was still coming out of her head." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "Grandmother sent this Xin's mother to spy on me, but she wanted to manipulate me, I may not dare to resist before, but now, it is my grandmother who is here, and what can I do, grandmother is the same as my father, the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the most important." ”

Zhu Lian said worriedly: "Miss, this matter is still inconclusive, will you offend the old lady like this?" ”

Xia Mengning smiled, got up and asked Jiu'er to clean up, Zhu Lian handed over the sweat towel to wipe her hands, and Jiu'er, who had just gone out, hurriedly ran in.

"Miss, Miss is not good."

Xia Mengning sat up, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiu'er hurriedly said: "There was a lot of commotion outside just now, and I heard that the eldest lady hanged herself." ”

Yes?! Xia Mengning covered the corners of her lips in disbelief, and then sneered: "What kind of trick are you playing, won't it be my grandmother's birthday in a few days, this juncture is really a pig's brain." ”

Jiu'er asked on the side: "Miss is going to take a look, a few young ladies and the old lady have gone, and even the old lady has gone." ”

Xia Mengning thought for a while, "If you make such a big move, you can't go if you don't want to, so as not to fall into people's tongues, go and take a look." ”

Putting on her clothes and shoes, Xia Mengning casually pulled half of her hair in a bun, and rushed to Fangfei Garden with Zhu Lian with a sleepy look.

As soon as she arrived outside Fangfei Garden, she saw the lights in Fangfei Garden from a distance, and there was a commotion inside, Xia Mengning frowned, and walked in with Zhulian.

A mother-in-law shouted, "The third lady is here." ”

Xia Mengning walked into the house, and what she saw was Xia Mengxi being supported by the maid, and the two knelt on the ground together, Xia Chuanyuan and Xie sat on the top, Xia Chuanyuan looked angry, Xie was similar, and there was Fang with an angry face standing next to him, the fourth aunt with a calm face, the fifth aunt Wei with a calm face, and the seventh aunt Ning who gloated.

The fifth aunt Wei is the daughter of the richest man in the capital, because she is a concubine, so she became a concubine, the fifth aunt is quite scheming, otherwise she would not have given birth to a son under Fang's nose, the fifth aunt's son Xia Zhishen is a fresh candidate, although he is quite talented, but he is still below Fang's son Xia Zhihan, Wei is a person who can forbear, this can be seen.

The seventh aunt Ning is a Qinglou woman, beautiful in appearance, at that time she was the Oiran of the Qinglou, Xia Chuanyuan was also unruly when she was young, the two of them are also a good story, Ning's pregnancy has two daughters, the second girl died when she was a child, and the rest is the fourth girl Xia Mengyou, Xia Mengning thought, this Xia Mengyou's temper is really like her biological mother, despicable and stupid.

Walk to the front and salute, "I've seen my grandmother, I've seen my father and mother." ”

Xia Chuanyuan's attitude towards her was abnormal, and a smile barely squeezed out of his originally angry face, "Why did Ning'er come, it's windy at night, why don't you wear more?" ”

Xia Mengning stood up, "Ning'er thanked her father for her concern, and she won't be in the future." ”

Fang Shi saw it in his eyes, he was angry, and he couldn't wait to rush forward and tear that face fiercely, it was because of her that Xi'er couldn't think of wanting to hang herself, her Xi'er was the eldest lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, what was that Xia Mengning, she was just a lowly concubine.

Xia Mengning obediently stepped aside, but Xia Mengxi spoke, "The third sister is so kind to come to see me, I'm afraid she came to see my jokes, right?" ”

Xia Mengning replied in a low voice: "What the big sister said, Ning Er never dared to laugh at the big sister in her heart. Xia Mengxi snorted fiercely, "Xia Mengning, you are just a humble concubine, why do you get the favor of the prince, even if you marry into the prince's mansion, it is just the life of a side room, and you can only be a subordinate person for the rest of your life." ”

"Enough!" Xia Chuanyuan slapped the table, "Have you said enough, a daughter who has not been out of the cabinet has to be ashamed to say these shameless words all day long." ”

Fang stood up, walked up to Xia Chuanyuan and said, "Master, Xi'er has already taken away the fright, why are you scaring her like this again." ”

Xia Chuanyuan frowned, "Fright? What kind of suicide is it that you don't sleep in the middle of the night, who is frightened, why don't you take care of your daughter, you can't settle down all day. ”

was told so mercilessly by Xia Chuanyuan, and the Fang family didn't care about any face, kneeling on the ground and crying, "Xi'er is the eldest lady in the house, but the master is thinking about the daughter who came out of the house, and all good things will be arranged for her first, so what is Xi'er?" ”

Xie Shi's face was pale, "What are you talking about, you are the head of the prime minister's mansion, all the children call you mother, you are so clear, are you biased in your heart?" ”

Fang didn't speak, Xia Mengxi saw that so many people were helping Xia Mengning, he only felt hatred in his heart, and rushed forward in a few steps to catch Xia Mengning, Xia Mengning was so frightened that he dodged left and right, and everyone in the room shouted and screamed.

Xia Mengning's eyes were quick and he hid behind Xia Chuanyuan, but Xia Mengxi didn't see it, his heart was already crazy, and a pair of sharp hands grabbed the face of the person in front of him.

"It's presumptuous!" Xia Chuanyuan was angry, covering his arm, if he hadn't blocked it with his arm, this face would have been really caught, and he would not have been laughed to death tomorrow morning.

"Smack!" A hard slap on Xia Mengxi's face, the latter was beaten to the side, Fang Shi hurriedly rushed over and hugged his daughter, Xia Chuanyuan's lips trembled, "You unfilial daughter, you dare to do something to your father, it's really hateful." ”

Xia Mengning walked to the side with a frightened face, picked up the teacup and handed it to Xia Chuanyuan, "Daddy, don't be angry, drink a cup of tea to dissipate your anger." ”

Xie Shi was very confused by this meal, slapped the table and said, "Xi'er, you say, why do you want to find a short meeting?" ”

Xia Mengxi was slapped in the face, and she was very aggrieved, but she still glared at Xia Mengning fiercely and said: "Grandmother, I am the eldest lady who came out, why does my father want to let the third sister get along with the son, and marry the third sister to the prince's mansion." ”

Xie's face sank, "Who said that, where is there such a thing?" "Xia Mengxi is busy talking about painting today, Xie Shi's face is not worried, this Xi'er is really a straw bag, doesn't this just let others know that she is a person who is only jealous of others who can't compare to others?

"Grandmother, she must have used some kind of fox trick to confuse Shizi, otherwise why would Shizi like her, obviously just like her mother, she is a lowly embryo."

Xia Mengning's hand in the sleeve tightened, Xie had a plan in his heart, this Ning'er must not be able to marry, since the king of Dingxi intends to make friends with the Prime Minister's Mansion, then why not marry Xi'er, Xi'er is worthy of being the concubine of the world.

Thinking of this, Xie Shi lowered his face and said to Xia Mengning on the side: "You are here today, so let's talk about it, what is going on?" ”

Xia Mengning bowed her head obediently, and a sneer curled at the corner of her mouth, her grandmother would not let herself marry her, and she naturally couldn't keep up with letting her granddaughter be a genuine princess, do you think it was someone from Dingxi Wangfu who came to ask for a kiss, Xia Mengning was fiercely disdainful, it seems that her actions towards Xin's mother today have provoked her grandmother, but the eldest grandson Yun has already expressed her position to herself, so she doesn't have to grovel to please them like before.

"Back to grandmother's words, Ning Er is a boudoir woman, these words are really hard to say, in the afternoon, my father is also there, grandmother might as well let my father say it."

Xie Shi was angry in her heart, she naturally knew these things, and let her say that it was nothing more than to cure her arrogance, but this girl actually pushed the matter onto someone else.

Xia Chuanyuan coughed, and Xie looked at Xia Mengning with a calm face, "Your eldest sister is your elder, no matter what, you shouldn't say anything." ”

This is to find a crime and put it on himself

？ Xia Mengning lowered her head: "Ning'er has never contradicted her eldest sister, grandmother Mingjian." Xia Mengxi was proud, grandmother was helping her, thinking of this, she stood up and walked in front of Xie Shi and said, "Grandmother, don't blame the third sister, she is also unintentional, she just wants to show herself when she sees the son of the world coming." ”

Xia Mengning's face was pale, "Big sister said this is so strange, the prince came to the mansion and didn't summon you, so you went by yourself, did the big sister forget that she was still grounded?" About painting, who is good and who is not good in the evaluation of the prince, the big sister still has questions in her heart, the big sister said that Ning'er contradicted you, then you can say, which sentence of mine contradicted you, which sentence made the eldest sister feel uncomfortable? ”
