Mother Chen saw that Liu Xiangxue was a shrewd person, so she smiled and said: "Miss Liu doesn't have to be polite, the old slave is the personal mother next to the old lady, Miss Liu can afford the old slave, so she can call the old slave Mother Chen." ”

Liu Xiangxue nodded hurriedly, and said more and more deferentially: "Xiangxue has seen Mother Chen. ”

Chen's mother smiled, she knew Liu Xiangxue's identity, and naturally she was not humble, after receiving Liu Xiangxue's gift, Chen's mother spoke: "The old slave came this time on the order of the old lady to invite the young lady to go to Rongfutang." ”

Liu Xiangxue sighed in her heart, but her face did not change, she straightened up and nodded.

When the three of them arrived at Rongfutang, the sky had already darkened, and the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion was lit with glass lamps for lighting, and the green and red were reflected in the dark night sky, which was beautiful in a flash.

Liu Xiangxue didn't care about admiring the beautiful night, and knelt on the ground in fear, "Xiangxue has seen the old lady, the old lady is in good health, and she is blessed with a long life. ”

Xie squinted, leaned on the couch and looked lazily, "You are the broken official lady who gave birth to a child?" ”

Sure enough, it was not a good word as soon as she said it, a cold sweat broke out on Liu Xiangxue's back, although she had already prepared in her heart, she was still a little apprehensive, and nodded stiffly, "Yes." ”

Xie Shi said again: "How old are you this year?" ”

Liu Xiangxue hurriedly responded, "Back to the old lady's words, Xiangxue is fifteen years old this year, and she was in time last month." ”

Xie Shi had a cold face and said, "Raise your head and show me." ”

Liu Xiangxue's body trembled unnaturally, and then slowly raised her head, she gave birth to a delicate and soft face, and her facial features were average, but the beauty was beautiful in those pitiful big eyes, which were always as moving as if they were covered with a layer of mist, which made people have a strong desire to protect at a glance.

Xie Shi saw it, and snorted disdainfully, "Sheng'er said that your appearance is beautiful, in my opinion, it is an ordinary appearance, this kind of appearance may be good in your Longnan, but you have to be clear, now the place under your feet is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what kind of beautiful little family jasper has it, do you think that it depends on you, a shabby official lady with an average appearance, what qualifications do you have to stay in the mansion?" ”

Xie's merciless accusation made Liu Xiangxue feel uncomfortable, she didn't know about this, but it was too embarrassing to be said so unabashedly.

Liu Xiangxue secretly lowered her head, bit her lip, and tears flashed in her big eyes, "What the old lady said is that the quality of Xiangxue and willow is not worthy of ......"

Xie Shi frowned, "I called you here to tell you that our Xiangfu family has a big business, and it is no problem to raise you as an idler, but what is the identity of Sheng'er, is the second master of this Xiangfu, if you let me know that you dare to charm him privately, then you are welcome, you must know, I want to let a person die quietly, there is a way." ”

Liu Xiangxue's heart tightened, and she nodded hurriedly, "Xiangxue doesn't dare, Xiangxue doesn't dare ......"

Xie Shi saw her frightened look, and disdainful in his heart, but he was still relatively satisfied, if he was a scheming person, it would be trickier, and now seeing Liu Xiangxue was frightened by her words, Xie Shi was also sure that she would not be messing around.

"Okay, you just have to remember a little bit, so that you can stay in your own house, and there will be no shortage of food and clothing, but if you want to make a difference, what kind of moth is you, then you will only kill yourself."

After Xie Shi finished speaking, he saw that Liu Xiangxue kept kowtowing, and her forehead was red, so she didn't say more, and said lightly: "Go down." ”

Xiangyun hurriedly helped Liu Xiangxue up, and the two saluted again, and then walked out together.

Seeing that the two were gone, Xie Shi changed his posture, leaned on the couch again, and asked Chen's mother on the side, "How is the child?" ”

Mother Chen hurriedly said, "In Xuanming Hall, the second lady is waiting to take medicine. ”

Xie nodded, sat up sideways, took out a red belly pocket from the small cabinet on the couch, and kept rubbing it in his hand.

When Chen's mother saw it, she stepped forward and cut the heart of the candle in front of Xie's table, and said, "Old lady, I'm thinking about the past again." ”

Xie Shi sighed, "Seeing this girl just now reminds me of her, since the flood that year, I have lost contact with them, and it has been fifteen years in a blink of an eye, and if she is still alive, she will be fifteen years old." ”

Xie Shi said, he couldn't help sighing, his old fingers rubbing his belly pocket carefully, and his eyes were moist.

Mother Chen naturally knew who Xie was talking about, but Mother Chen was also a shrewd person, and said, "The old lady doesn't have to mind, if you are destined, God will arrange for them to meet." ”

Xie Shi glanced up at Chen's mother, nodded, and said no more.

Liu Xiangxue and Xiangyun walked out of Rongfu Hall, Liu Xiangxue was already in a cold sweat, just now fortunately she was witty, and deliberately showed that she was scared, and the old lady was wary of herself, so she saved her life.

Liu Xiangxue thought to herself, Xiangyun also felt Liu Xiangxue's thoughts, and hurriedly comforted softly: "Miss, don't be sad, what the old lady said may not be good...... We still have a chance......"

Xiangyun was a little incoherent, but she still kept comforting Liu Xiangxue, the two grew up together, and even Liu Xiangxue changed Xiangyun's name, Xiangxue Xiangyun, how like a pair of sisters.

Liu Xiangxue grabbed Xiangyun's hand, a little moved, "Xiangyun, we will depend on each other in the future." ”

Xiangyun also shed tears, hugged Liu Xiangxue and cried: "Miss, Xiangyun will never leave you for the rest of your life." ”

The two were crying when they heard a familiar voice coming, "Xiangxue? ”

Both of them hurriedly raised their heads like frightened birds, and the person who spoke was Xia Chuansheng, who was worried about Liu Xiangxue, so he made an excuse to come out after drinking the medicine, wanting to visit Liu Xiangxue.

When Liu Xiangxue saw Xia Chuansheng, the thoughts in her heart turned back and forth, but in an instant, she made up her mind.

"Xiangyun, let's go!"

Liu Xiangxue glanced at Xia Chuansheng, and then pulled Xiangyun forward, Xia Chuansheng was stunned, he didn't know what was wrong with Liu Xiangxue, and hurriedly took two steps forward to stop the two.

"Xiangxue, what's wrong with you......" Before Xia Chuansheng finished speaking, he saw Liu Xiangxue's reddened forehead and red and swollen eyes.

Liu Xiangxue lowered her head and didn't make a sound, although Xia Chuansheng was stupid, he also knew the reason for the matter after thinking about it.

"Did your mother say something nasty to you?"

Liu Xiangxue shook her head, but Xia Chuansheng didn't give up, and continued to ask: "Xiangxue, tell me, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Xiangxue shook her head and cried: "Second master, please save Xiangxue." ”

Xia Chuansheng was startled and hurriedly said, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Xiangxue sobbed, "You are now the second master, where is Xiangxue worthy of you, the old lady is right, Xiangxue is just a broken official lady, not even a commoner, if the second master wants Xiangxue to live, don't meet Xiangxue again." ”

As she spoke, Liu Xiangxue raised her head and looked at Xia Chuansheng with a pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and she lost her three souls and seven spirits.

"Second master, it's Xiangxue who is not blessed, Xiangxue doesn't blame the second master......"

Liu Xiangxue sobbed lowly, the appearance of pear blossoms with rain is really pitiful to me, not to mention that Xia Chuansheng is a lustful person, and the desire to protect in his heart has soared, and he pulled Liu Xiangxue into his arms.

Liu Xiangxue was startled, and she was very disgusted, but she still leaned on his chest obediently, crying: "What is the second master doing, Xiangxue is not worthy of your ......"

Xia Chuansheng is a fool, and now he understands that it must be Xie Shi who said something ugly to Liu Xiangxue and threatened her not to be with him.

Xia Chuansheng was angry in his heart, and said: "Don't be afraid, I'll go to my mother to explain that I must marry you." ”

Liu Xiangxue was overjoyed, but she still grabbed Xia Chuansheng's arm and cried: "Second master, don't, you are the biological son of the old lady, the old lady will naturally not blame you, but the old lady will think that Xiangxue provoked the relationship between your mother and son, how can the second master protect Xiangxue from time to time, and if the old lady does something to Xiangxue, then Xiangxue will ...... But it's ......."

Saying that, Liu Xiangxue seemed to be extremely scared, and suddenly threw herself into Xia Chuansheng's arms, grabbing his clothes tightly, "The second master has Xiangxue in his heart, Xiangxue is satisfied, Xiangxue doesn't want a name, so she wants to follow the second master like this, but the second master must also stabilize first, otherwise, how can we be together." ”

Xia Chuansheng listened to Liu Xiangxue's words and gradually calmed down, stretched out his hand to hug Liu Xiangxue's body and comforted: "I have wronged you, but don't worry, when I take over the power of this family, I will definitely marry you in the media, and my mother will not be able to stop you even if she wants to." ”

Liu Xiangxue got Xia Chuansheng's assurance, and stood up straight happily, "Really, Second Master?" ”

Xia Chuansheng smiled when he saw the beauty, it was really beautiful and moving, and he couldn't help rolling his throat, "Xue'er, I treat your heart, how can you still doubt it?" ”

Liu Xiangxue saw Xia Chuan's vivid appearance, and she was disgusted in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face, so she had to pretend to be shy, but she actually hid the disgust in her eyes.

"The second master should go back first, it's still inconvenient for us to meet recently, so as not to be seen by the old lady's people."

Xia Chuansheng nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first, you can also rest well, and let Xiangyun come to me if you lack anything." ”

Liu Xiangxue nodded, and Xia Chuansheng turned around and left.

As soon as Xia Chuansheng left, Liu Xiangxue couldn't help but walk to the side of the pond, lying on the railing and retching vigorously, Xiangyun was frightened, and hurriedly went over to help Liu Xiangxue pat her back.

After a while, Liu Xiangxue straightened up and was helped by Xiangyun to stand firmly.

Xiangyun was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Xiangxue's face was pale, her big eyes were round, her lips were pale without a trace of blood, and after a while, she slowly spit out a sentence, "Xiangyun, he, it's so disgusting, I ...... it myself It's disgusting...... too."

Xiangyun knew who Liu Xiangxue was talking about, and when she heard Liu Xiangxue say this, Xiangyun felt uncomfortable, crying and hugging Liu Xiangxue's body, "Miss, otherwise let's go, you were squeezed out by the Qian family when you were in Longnan before, and now you have to be squeezed by the old lady, Miss...... Let's go back to Longnan, at least we can live a peaceful and stable life, and the slave and maid will accompany you if they don't go anywhere, so they will accompany you......"

Liu Xiangxue smiled slowly, and gradually, firmness appeared in her eyes, "No, Xiangyun, let's not go, let's live well, let's live like this, and let those who bullied us in the past kneel and beg us." ”

Xiangyun cried and nodded, "Miss Xiangyun will accompany you no matter what, Xiangyun will not leave you......"

The master and servant held their heads and cried, but they still didn't dare to cry loudly, so they could only whimper and lick each other's wounds like wounded little beasts.

After crying together for a while, Liu Xiangxue wiped her tears, and then wiped her tears for Xiangyun with a handkerchief, and said in a dumb voice: "Let's go back." ”

Xiangyun nodded, and the two walked slowly back along the way they came.

Xia Chuanyuan accompanied Ge Shi to talk, coaxed Xia Zhikang to sleep, and hurried back to Yong'an Hall to review the official documents.

Liu Xiangxue unexpectedly met Xia Chuanyuan, who was in a hurry, and was almost knocked down by Xia Chuanyuan, but fortunately, Xia Chuanyuan's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly reached out and hugged her body.

Looking at each other, Liu Xiangxue was stunned, Xia Chuanyuan was also secretly shocked in his heart, Liu Xiangxue had just cried, a pair of wet eyes were extremely cute, and the delicate appearance was easy to arouse people's desire to protect.

"Sorry ......"

Liu Xiangxue hurriedly withdrew her body, she didn't know Xia Chuanyuan, so naturally she didn't know Xia Chuanyuan's identity.

Xiangyun hurriedly came over and helped Liu Xiangxue.

Xia Chuanyuan's palm tightened unexpectedly, and the warm and soft touch just now disappeared all of a sudden, but he was a little nostalgic.

Xia Chuanyuan shook his head, "It's okay, who are you?" Why do you still walk in the garden at night? ”

Liu Xiangxue was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Xia Chuanyuan, this man is about the same age as Xia Chuansheng, but his appearance is much more handsome than Xia Chuansheng, and his bearing is much better than Xia Chuansheng, Liu Xiangxue looked at it like this, and her cheeks were slightly red.

Xiao Liuzi said: "The master asked you, why didn't you answer, which room are you a girl?" ”

Master? Liu Xiangxue was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What master?" ”

Xiao Liuzi frowned, and secretly said that this girl is so eye-catching, Xu has just entered the mansion, Xiao Liuzi thought of this, and said: "What, this is the master of our Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister, your master!" ”

Liu Xiangxue was completely stunned, and only after a while did she react, and hurriedly saluted: "The little woman Liu Xiangxue has seen the Prime Minister. ”

Xia Chuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and said, "I remember, you are the woman that the second brother brought back from Longnan." ”

Xia Chuanyuan's words were originally not malicious, just casually said, but in Liu Xiangxue's ears, it was not like that, Xia Chuanyuan said this, obviously he was hanging Liu Xiangxue and Xia Chuansheng together in his heart, Liu Xiangxue had a good impression of Xia Chuanyuan in his heart, how could he not defend himself now.

Liu Xiangxue lowered her head and said softly: "My father was good friends with the second master before his death, so when he was dying, he entrusted the little girl to the second master to take care of her, and the little girl has always respected the second master as an elder. ”

cleverly explained the reason why she followed Xia Chuansheng, and Liu Xiangxue also specially pointed out her reserved attitude towards Xia Chuansheng, just to prevent Xia Chuanyuan from misunderstanding in her heart.

When Xia Chuanyuan heard this, he was also a little relieved in his heart, a beautiful young woman like Liu Xiangxue would definitely be liked by men, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't avoid vulgarity, but he didn't say much because he was afraid of her identity.

"Okay, it's deeper, you go down first." Xia Chuanyuan said, and left with Xiao Liuzi.

Liu Xiangxue stood in place, looking at Xia Chuanyuan's distant back in a daze, until Xiangyun pushed her, and then she reacted.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? It's windy at night, so let's go back quickly. Xiangyun gathered Liu Xiangxue's clothes and opened her mouth to persuade.

Liu Xiangxue nodded and walked back with Xiangyun, but her heart was turned upside down.

Xia Mengrong got Liu's words, and on the second day, she packed up and took the gift that Liu gave her and walked to Zhuzhiyuan, Liu asked her to have a good relationship with Xia Mengning, she naturally understood the truth, if she wanted to marry the eldest grandson Yun, the first step was to start with Xia Mengning.

Xia Mengrong got up early in the morning, and when she arrived at the Bamboo Branch Garden, Xia Mengning had not yet gotten up, and after Liushuang died, there were only three girls in the Bamboo Branch Garden, who were Liuru, Liucui, and Liuyan. Liuru and Liucui are both honest people, they usually only work and are silent, but Liuyan relies on the fact that he is a little more beautiful than the other two, and he has to put on a high-minded appearance everywhere.

Xia Mengrong walked into the bamboo branch garden with the things that Liu gave her, and happened to be seen by Liuyan who was knocking melon seeds, Liuyan was startled, and thought it was Ge's coming, but when she looked at it, it was a woman with a raw face, Liuyan was puzzled, stood up and asked, "Are you?" ”

Xia Mengrong didn't have a waiting girl by her side, and she didn't dare to use the girl that Xie had just dialed down, and she was still carrying something in her hand at this time, so she was more like a girl than a young lady.

Xia Mengrong hurriedly smiled and said, "This girl, I am the daughter of the second master, ranking seventh. ”

Liuyan was startled, she thought that Xia Mengrong was just a girl who had just entered the house, but she didn't think that it was the seventh lady who had just arrived, although the sixth miss and the seventh miss were not the children of the old man, but no matter how they said it, they were also a master, even if Liuyan was arrogant, she didn't dare to get on the bar with Xia Mengrong, so she hurriedly saluted and paid for it.

"Liuyan has eyes and no beads, but I didn't recognize Miss Seven, please forgive Miss Seven."

Xia Mengrong saw Liuyan's panicked appearance, and felt a little relieved in her heart, she knew that she was not a serious master now, so naturally she couldn't put on a show too much, Xia Mengrong rolled her eyes, and saw that Liuyan didn't seem to be very happy, so she had an idea in her heart.

"What's your name?"

Xia Mengrong took a few steps forward and asked with a smile, trying to make herself look amiable.

Liuyan hurriedly responded, "The slave and the maid are beautiful, the flowing water, and the face is beautiful." ”

Xia Mengrong smiled, "It's really a good name, and the person is also exquisite, it's really good." ”

Like a sincere admiration, Liuyan was coaxed by Xia Mengrong's words to be a little unable to find the north, and shook her head again and again, "The slave doesn't dare to ......"

Xia Mengrong rolled her eyes and said, "Liuyan, I'm here to find the third miss, can you let me in and report it?" ”
