Xia Mengning put down the teacup and gently tapped the corners of her lips with a juanpa, her posture was elegant, wearing a gauze skirt with smoke green ripples and clear water patterns, lining the girl's tall figure and temperament as warm as jade.

"The fourth sister's unfilial hat, my sister can't stand it." Xia Mengning said, looked at Xia Mengyou, and said with a smile: "Since my sister said that I don't worry about my father, then I have to ask, the fourth sister's Qingyou Garden, the fifth sister's Xixiang Garden, and my Bamboo Branch Garden, which one is closest to Daddy's Yong'an Hall?" ”

When these words came out, Xia Mengyou suddenly became dumbfounded, indeed, his Qingyou Garden was very close to Yong'an Hall, but he came behind Xia Mengning again, so Xia Mengning said this, deliberately making his father think that he didn't care about him.

Although Xia Mengning asked Xia Mengyou when she said this, she also quietly pulled Xia Mengran into it, she and the fourth aunt were not favored before, so the Fang family took the initiative to return the quiet garden where she lived to Xia Mengyou, and she was replaced with the smallest bamboo branch garden in the corner.

Xia Mengyou is used to currying favor with the Fang family and Xia Mengxi, and after winning the Qingyou Garden, he was not less proud in front of him, remembering that in his previous life, he was ridiculed and ridiculed by them together, Xia Mengning blinked, and there was no change.

If you were to be the self before you were reborn, you wouldn't be able to expose this kind of thing with a smile anyway, and maybe you would feel embarrassed, but now, you can reveal all this with a smile, not because you have let go, but because you have learned to hide it.

Hide your mind and be unfazed, so that you can surprise and put the other party to death.

Xia Mengyou hated in her heart, but she couldn't say anything to deal with it, so she turned her head to Xia Chuanyuan: "Daddy, look at the third sister, she is saying that You'er is not good, but You'er is thinking about her father, otherwise she wouldn't have hurried over." ”

Xia Chuanyuan's face was pale, Ning'er lived farther away than the two of them, but he still came as soon as possible, and reminded himself of many important things, it was nothing, and he didn't expect other daughters to remind him, but this You'er just wanted to talk about this matter, Xia Chuanyuan felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart, although he was born to his aunt, how could he be such a narrow-minded person, jealous of his sister, it was already disrespectful, but he was still unforgiving, Xia Chuanyuan suddenly remembered the expression on his face when Ning sent her personal girl yesterday, There was a faint discomfort in my heart, such a mother, naturally I couldn't give birth to a daughter who was so good, thinking of this, I said coldly: "Presumptuous, as a sister, disrespecting my sister, it's really disrespectful, go, give your sister tea and admit your mistake." ”

Xia Mengyou was incredulous by Xia Chuanyuan's reaction, and when she saw Xia Mengning's arrogant appearance sitting there, she said unconvinced: "Daddy is biased, why should he ask his daughter to admit her mistakes, where did her daughter do wrong, her daughter didn't follow, her daughter didn't follow." ”

Xia Chuanyuan turned to the side suddenly, shook off Xia Mengyou's arm wrapped around him, and said, "Bold, if you dare to disobey me, do you also want to go to the ancestral hall and kneel?" ”

Xia Mengyou was taken aback by Xia Chuanyuan's appearance, her eyes turned red, and she wanted to justify herself a few words, but when she saw Xia Chuanyuan's cold face, coupled with the punishment of going to the ancestral hall, she turned around and slowly walked to Xia Mengning, and fell to the ground with a plop.

"The third sister is young and ignorant in my sister's youth, spare my sister this time." As he spoke, he raised his hands above his head and handed a cup of tea to Xia Mengning.

Xia Mengning covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, glanced at Xia Mengyou with disdain, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, get up, when did my sister complain about you, it's just our daughter's family, what to say and what not to say, are all exquisite, if the fourth sister always can't remember, it is better to copy the two books of women's morality, Nu Ze and Nu Xun, you will definitely benefit a lot." ”

said that it didn't matter, but it still made Xia Mengyou's apology complete, and at the end he didn't forget to add a word of instruction, it seemed that his sister was bitter, but in Xia Mengyou's ears, it was unspeakable sarcasm.

Xia Chuanyuan touched his chin and nodded, "What your sister said is reasonable, the two books of female rule and female training are all about women's cultivation and morality, if you have nothing to do in the future, you will copy some quietly in the house, and regularly send it to your third sister to see, and take a good look at your words and deeds." ”

Xia Mengyou bit her lip and slammed her head on the ground, "Yes, my daughter must follow her father's teachings." ”

Xia Mengning smiled and took a sip of tea, but her eyes glanced at Xia Mengran, who was standing on the side.

Although Xia Mengran was silent, he hated Xia Mengning in his heart for his arrogant and proud appearance, and when he saw Xia Mengyou kneeling on the ground, an idea suddenly appeared in his heart.

Moving lightly, Xia Mengran walked to Xia Mengyou's side, gently helped her up and said: "Fourth sister, don't be sad, what the third sister said also makes sense, you listened to your mother's words at that time and moved to Qingyou Garden, and the third sister can only live in a small and broken bamboo branch garden, and now you say these words like this, no wonder the third sister is angry with you." ”

There was a kind and persuasive look on his face, but he pointed the finger at Xia Mengning, and the meaning of his words was that Xia Mengning was deliberately embarrassing Xia Mengyou for the sake of moving the garden back then.

Although Xia Mengyou didn't know why Xia Mengran wanted to help him, in this case, he didn't have time to think about it, but his face was sad: "Fifth sister, don't say it, the third sister punishes me, I have nothing to say." ”

It's a deep sisterhood, Xia Mengning's eyes raised slightly, looked at the two people standing there, the corners of her lips smiled, she gently played with the tea lid with her plain hand, and said in a soft and glutinous voice slightly lazy: "Why did the fifth sister say this, is it possible, but also because my mother let you move the garden back then, and I feel a little resentful?" ”

At that time, the Fang family then rebuilt in the name of Xia Mengning moved to Zhuzhiyuan, and moved Xia Mengyou into Qingyou Garden, Xia Mengran was purely a foil, all the concubines moved, only she didn't move, which was naturally not good, so in this matter, Xia Mengran was a foil and a small role that should not be sacrificed.

Xia Mengran didn't know in her heart, but at that time, the Fang clan was in charge of the house, and she was not favored by her father, her aunt was a master who could forbear, and she had no one to help, so she could only endure it, and now that Xia Mengning was exposed, Xia Mengran was indignant, but she still didn't say anything, just lowered her head and did her part with a humble attitude.

Everyone was silent, but they all waited for Xia Chuanyuan to open his mouth to make a conclusion, Xia Mengning quietly raised his eyes and looked, Xia Chuanyuan touched his chin, and was about to speak, Xia Mengning quickly stood up, walked in front of Xia Mengyou and Xia Mengran, bowed down and said: "Daddy is already worried about trivial matters, you and I are both Daddy's daughters, so don't bother Daddy with these things, if the two sisters still feel unhappy, my sister will make amends to the two sisters, and at the moment of major events, don't use these trivial things to bother Daddy." ”

As she spoke, Xia Mengning really bent her knees and saluted the two.

Xia Mengyou didn't react yet, but he felt that Xia Mengran held his hand tightly, and after thinking about it, he also felt the taste, first deliberately made himself ugly, and then waited until his father opened his mouth to show his heart, this time, not only punished himself, but also interpreted the image of a good daughter in front of his father, which was really unfathomable.

When Xia Chuanyuan heard this, the little discomfort in his heart immediately disappeared, and he immediately put on a straight face and said: "What do you say to share my worries, how many can do it, only Ning'er, even if you don't hesitate to put down your body and apologize, you ......" said, just stretched out his hand and clicked a few times at the air, then sighed and stopped talking.

At this time, Xiao Liuzi walked in from outside and said to Xia Chuanyuan: "Master Qiyu, the little one has been checked, that Cheng Gu is a foreigner, and he has been in the capital a few years ago, and he has been a shopkeeper in the inn, but he is a good gambler by nature, and he often can't make ends meet, and he has no relatives by his side." ”

After hearing this, Xia Chuanyuan's eyebrows stretched, nodded and said, "Got it, you go down." ”

Xia Meng pondered for a while, walked up to Xia Chuanyuan and said, "Daddy, what are you going to do with that man next?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan put his hands behind his back and walked a few steps, "If you deal with it, you are afraid that others will know about it, and you will use it to make a fuss, but you can't handle it in accordance with the normal legal channels, I am afraid that you will fall into the mouth of your tongue and be told for no reason." ”

Xia Meng nodded, "It's indeed a tricky question, but Daddy, according to my daughter, it is not appropriate to make a public announcement in looking for the murderer, and this matter should be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, how can we guarantee that the news will not be leaked." ”

Xia Chuanyuan nodded, and walked a few steps randomly: "But now, there is really no way to get the best of both worlds." ”

Xia Mengning lowered her head, pretending to meditate, and after a while, she hesitated and said: "Actually, my daughter has a way, but it's just ......" Xia Chuanyuan's face was happy, and he hurriedly asked what method he had, Xia Mengning refused to say, his face was a little embarrassed, Xia Chuanyuan saw it, and understood what she meant, raised his head and said to Xia Mengyou and Xia Mengran: "You two go back first, remember to copy the women's training." ”

The two of them looked indignant, and they really didn't dare to say more, so they had to salute and walk out.

"Ning'er, what is the idea?" After the two left, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't wait to ask.

Xia Mengning looked embarrassed, "Daddy, although this method can solve the current emergency, it is not appropriate......"

Xia Chuanyuan's face was anxious, and he just said: "It's okay, you say it first, now that the matter is imminent, there is no other way, I will listen to you if you say it, and see if it is feasible?" ”
