Jiu'er withdrew her hand, looked at Cai Wei and said, "Why?" You are just a slave maid, you dare to be presumptuous in front of the young lady, and you don't call yourself a slave in reply, who gave you so much courage? ”

Cai Wei was stunned for a moment, knowing that she didn't expect this, but her performance in Rongfutang that day, these three young ladies should have seen it, she made it clear that she was the old lady's person, why did these three young ladies dare to move themselves.

Xia Mengning picked up Juan Pa and covered her mouth, frowned and said: "I am in charge of the affairs of the house under my father's orders, if I can't even manage a small slave and maid, I'm afraid it will annoy my father, since your rules are not good, then practice diligently from now on, when you practice well, when you will go back." ”

Cai Wei was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Xia Mengning meant, Jiu'er looked at her and said loudly: "Didn't you hear what the third lady said, practice the salute here, when the action is standard, you can go back." ”

Xia Mengning watched Cai Wei Fu half-squat, then turned around and walked back, Jiu'er also followed behind, turning around from time to time to look at Cai Wei who was still half-squatting.

After returning to the Bamboo Branch Garden, Xia Mengning changed into a cinnamon green full-breasted brocade skirt, wore a blue satin pinch placket, and recombed her simple and refreshing bun, and then set off with Jiu'er to Shangshu Mansion.

Sitting in the carriage, Jiu'er couldn't help but ask: "Miss, that Cai Wei dared to be so arrogant in front of you because of the support of the old lady, if you punish her today, maybe tomorrow the old lady will deal with you?" ”

Xia Mengning smiled disappre一门ly, "For the sake of a girl who doesn't know if it can work, Xie will not be so stupid, this Cai Wei is just a chicken I use to set an example to the monkey, the little slave and maid, dare not take me in my eyes like this, if you connive at it, when Kang'er grows up in the future, she will not be respected." ”

Jiu'er nodded, Shangshu Mansion and Prime Minister's Mansion were not far apart, and they had arrived after a while, Xia Mengning and Jiu'er got out of the carriage, Jiu'er asked the coachman to wait outside, and the two walked to the gate of Shangshu Mansion.

There was a guard at the door who stretched out his hand to stop it, and Jiu'er took out the post and said: "This is the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am here to find Miss Shangshu." ”

When the nurse heard this, his originally cold face immediately laughed, and he said flatteringly: "It was the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the younger one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the eldest lady has been waiting for a long time, you should go in quickly." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, and walked in with Jiu'er, the nursing home led the way in front, and when he came to a corner, he bumped into Xia Zhihan, who was about to go back.

Xia Mengning frowned, and walked over from the side with Jiu'er, obviously not wanting to greet Xia Zhihan, but Xia Zhihan stopped his steps all of a sudden and said, "Third sister." ”

The nursing home was stunned, not knowing what the situation was, Xia Mengning frowned, "Let's go." ”

But he said to the nursing home, and didn't pay attention to Xia Zhihan.

Xia Zhihan didn't expect Xia Mengning to ignore himself, and glanced at Xia Mengning's back coldly, then turned around and left.

The three of them continued to walk forward, and when they entered a courtyard in front of them, the courtyard stopped their footsteps, bent down and said to Xia Mengning: "The front is the eldest lady's garden, and it is inconvenient for the small ones to enter and exit, please forgive me." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "Okay, let's go down." ”

Jiu'er took a silver ingot of five taels from his sleeve and handed it over, and the nursing home immediately smiled, took it with a thousand thanks, and then turned to leave.

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er stepped forward together, and there was a girl in a pink jacket skirt standing at the door, and when she saw Xia Mengning's master and servant, she hurriedly saluted and said, "The slave has seen the third lady." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "I'm here to see your eldest lady." ”

When the girl heard this, she immediately responded: "The third lady came with the slave maid." ”

With that, he turned around and walked inside, followed by Xia Mengning and Jiu'er, and entered the garden together.

This garden is built elegantly and chic, because it is winter, many places are not exposed, but they are covered with a thick cloth, but even so, this garden is still very good-looking, which shows that Liu Shihan is very much loved by Shangshu.

The curtain was opened, and the girl who led the way shouted, "Miss, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is here." ”

Xia Mengning heard a slight sound from inside, followed by a few coughs, "Come in." ”

Xia Mengning tidied up her dress, let Jiu'er wait outside, and walked in by herself.

As soon as she entered the room, Xia Mengning smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, because she was familiar with pharmacology, Xia Mengning quickly judged Liu Shihan's illness, which should be like Wu Qing's investigation, Liu Shihan is indeed deficient.

Liu Shihan leaned on the bed, her little face was pale without a trace of blood, and when she saw Xia Mengning coming in, Liu Shihan reluctantly pulled her cheeks and smiled, and said softly: "Dongzhu, quickly show the third lady a seat and make tea." ”

Dong Zhu said 'hey', and hurriedly walked down, Xia Mengning reached out and took off the cloak and hung it aside, walked to Liu Shihan's bed and sat down, holding Liu Shihan's hand, and suddenly shed tears.

Liu Shihan also shed tears, and held Xia Mengning's hand, Xia Mengning looked down to see that Liu Shihan's little hands were already skinny, because they had not seen the sun for a long time, their skin was seriously dehydrated, and they felt a little prickly.

Xia Mengning shook her hand lightly and said, "Don't tell me what happened, you all know it from other people's mouths, do you still take me as a friend." ”

Liu Shihan smiled, stretched out her hand and gently flicked the tassel on Xia Mengning's head, and said, "Ning'er, your hairpin is so beautiful......

Xia Mengning stretched out her hand and pulled off the hairpin, ready to get up and put it on Liu Shihan's head, this time she leaned over, only to find that Liu Shihan's head did not have a bun at all, after thinking about it, Xia Mengning stuffed the hairpin into Liu Shihan's hand again, and said: "Take it if you like, I'm not used to being a stingy person." ”

Liu Shihan smiled, "...... you"

Laughing, she coughed gently, Xia Mengning had some tears in her eyes, but she couldn't bear to let it fall, just now and then the opportunity to shake hands, Xia Mengning had already given Liu Shihan a pulse, the toxins in her body have accumulated day by day, reaching the point where they can kill people, I am afraid that if the miracle doctor is reincarnated, there is no room for recovery.

Xia Mengning thought like this, a little sad, and asked softly, "Han'er, can you let the doctor diagnose your body?" ”

Liu Shihan smiled, her eyes were dark, "The doctor tells my mother about my condition every time behind my back, they think I don't know, but in fact, I know, after all, this body bone is my own, and I know best whether it is good or not." ”

Xia Mengning looked at the calm Liu Shihan and wanted to say something, but the words that had been prepared a long time ago couldn't be spoken.

Liu Shihan looked at Xia Mengning, who wanted to speak and stopped, smiled, reached out to hold her hand, looked at Xia Mengning's eyes and said: "Ning'er, I know what you want to say, about me and your eldest brother, we ......" Liu Shihan paused, but looked at Xia Mengning firmly, and said: "We really love each other." ”

Xia Mengning was stunned, "Han'er, you can't trust him......"

Liu Shihan shook his head and interrupted Xia Mengning's words, "If he hadn't accompanied me these days, I'm afraid I would have gone a long time ago, after so many days of getting along, I can feel that he is a good person, and he is also sincere to me, Ning'er, maybe you have some misunderstandings before, but this time, can you not stop me, I don't know how many years to live in my life, I don't want to die alone like this, you are my best friend, I very much hope to get your blessing." ”

Liu Shihan said, two lines of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, Xia Mengning looked at Liu Shihan who was in tears like this, and suddenly lost her words, just sighed softly.

This family matter has been approved by Liu's mother, Xia Mengning didn't know what to say, and she was speechless all of a sudden.

After a long while, Xia Mengning said softly: "Han'er, since you insist like this, I have nothing to say, but I still have to persuade you in the end, Xia Zhihan's purpose is definitely not as simple as you imagined, you will definitely regret it." ”

Liu Shihan listened, but shook his head firmly, "Ning'er, even if he will bear me in the future, I will not regret it." ”

Xia Mengning looked at Liu Shihan's expression, it was a firmness that had never appeared on her face, Xia Mengning was confused, Liu Shihan has never been a woman with ideas, this time she decided to tell herself about it. I don't know how determined she was, but since she insisted like this, she was obstructing it, which would only add to her troubles.

Xia Mengning thought about it carefully, after Liu Shihan entered the mansion, he would help him more, if Xia Zhihan was truly repentant, then it was not impossible for him to help him in Liu Shihan's face, if Xia Zhihan still did not repent, then he would also help Liu Shihan.

At this moment, Dong Zhu walked in with a tea tray, Xia Mengning looked at the bowl of black medicinal juice brought by Dong Zhu, stretched out his hand and said, "I'll come." ”

As he spoke, he scooped a tablespoon and put it to his mouth and blew it gently, and then tested the temperature again, and then handed it to Liu Shihan's mouth, coaxing softly, "It's not hot." ”

Liu Shihan opened his mouth and drank, and said with a smile: "Ning'er, speaking of which, you are two years younger than me, how can you seem to be two years younger than you in front of you." ”

Xia Mengning took the handkerchief and nodded the corners of Liu Shihan's lips, and deliberately straightened her face and said: "Listen, obviously you should take care of me, but now I really get cheap and sell well." ”

Liu Shihan smiled, a flush overflowed on her pale face, and said, "Ning'er, do you remember when you and I first met?" It's in your house, and that day is your grandmother's birthday. ”

Xia Mengning blew on the medicinal juice in her hand, nodded and said, "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Shihan smiled, raised her face as if she was missing something, and said: "At that time, when I saw you for the first time, I felt that you had a unique temperament, obviously a little girl, but she looked like an old dragon clock, I was thinking at the time, this little girl is really good at pretending to be deep." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, handed the spoon in his hand to Liu Shihan's mouth, Liu Shihan lowered his head and drank, and continued: "But later, as soon as you opened your mouth, I knew that I was wrong, you were really deep, you spoke and acted like you were in your twenties." ”

"You're talking about my old age." Xia Mengning smiled and said deliberately with disgust.

Xia Mengning fed Liu Shihan a few mouthfuls of medicinal juice one after another, and soon, a bowl of medicine was at the bottom, Dongzhu handed over a plate of candied fruit, Xia Mengning reached out and took one, Liu Shihan hurriedly opened her mouth to pick it up, but Xia Mengning stuffed it into her mouth, and said while eating: "Dongzhu is really careful, how do you know that I love candied fruit?" ”

Dongzhu was dumbfounded, but Liu Shihan gritted his teeth and said, "Xia Mengning, that's my candied fruit......"

Before she finished speaking, Xia Mengning quickly stuffed one into her mouth, and the two looked at each other, and they both laughed.

Mother Liu was walking outside the garden, and when she heard laughter coming from inside, she wondered, "Who is inside?" ”

The little girl next to her said, "Madam, it's the third lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion who is here and talking to the young lady inside." ”

Mother Liu looked at it, smiled with relief, and turned to leave.
