Back in the bamboo branch garden, Xia Mengning unloaded her head full of pearls and emeralds, and leaned on the small couch a little tiredly, Zhulian approached and was about to pick up a fan to fan her, Xia Mengning opened her mouth to stop her: "No need, I just sweated, this time I fanned again, I'm afraid it will cause a cold." ”

Zhu Lian hurriedly put away the fan, Xia Mengning Su touched the mahogany table with her hand, and said softly: "Call Jiu'er in, you can go and get busy." ”

Zhu Lian walked out in response, and Xia Mengning added, "Wu Qing is back, let her come to see me immediately." ”

Soon, the door curtain was lifted, Jiu'er respectfully walked up to Xia Mengning, saluted, Xia Mengning waved his hand, "Don't be polite, you know today's events, right?" ”

Jiu'er nodded, Xia Mengning sat up and looked at her, "Jiu'er, as soon as today's incident is over, I will treat you as my own person seriously, you are a smart person, you know my current situation, if you are willing to follow me sincerely, I will treat you like Zhulian, you think about it yourself." ”

After Xia Mengning said this, she was also a little apprehensive in her heart, Jiu'er is a good girl, and she is also a person who can endure and understand how to advance and retreat, if she can follow her sincerely, it is naturally good, but if she doesn't want to live in this deceitful prime minister's mansion, she will not be strong.

When Jiu'er heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The third miss is the benefactor of the slave maid, and the slave maid has long lost her father and mother, so she is only willing to follow the third miss." ”

Xia Mengning hurriedly let her get up, her heart was a little more moved, but her face was still faint, "In this way, you can go down, I will tell the housekeeper there, promote you to be my close maid, Yueyin is the same as Zhulian, okay?" ”

Jiu'er nodded and said happily: "Thank you, Miss San, thank you, Miss San." ”

Xia Mengning felt that the burden in his heart was a little less, but he still did not forget to remind, "Today's matter, Fang's mother and daughter will soon know that you dropped the bag, Fang's heart is vicious, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to you, you stay in Zhuzhiyuan for a few days, Wu Qing will protect you, unless I or Zhulian personally call you out, don't go to know?" ”

Jiu'er was grateful in her heart, she had grown so big, and it was the first time she was cared for like this, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and nodded with tears in her eyes.

Although Xia Mengning is thirteen years old, after all, she has been a human being for two lifetimes, and her mental age and physical age add up to a lot, looking at the little girl in front of her who is only eleven years old, she only feels extremely distressed in her heart, and she can't help but reach out and touch the top of her head and smile.

At this moment, a figure broke into the door, Xia Mengning unnaturally put down her hand, and whispered to Jiu'er: "You go out first." ”

Jiu'er walked out, Wu Qing walked over in a few steps, and Xia Mengning hurriedly asked, "Is it okay?" ”

Wu Qing's face was proud, "I'll do something, don't worry, the eldest lady's cheeks are flushed, I'm afraid that the effect of the medicine has not dissipated, and now the prime minister has no choice but to marry her to Cheng Gu in order to save face, she is very happy, but she is pitiful Fang, she fainted when she heard the news, and she is still not awake." ”

Xia Mengning put down the teacup in her hand with interest and looked at Wu Qing with a smile, "Oh? It's really surprising that my father was able to marry my eldest sister to Cheng Gu. ”

said, and smiled again, "This Fang clan is such a precious daughter, just looking forward to marrying the prince and grandson, and glorifying the lintel, but now he is married to such a poor gambler with no name and no wealth, it's strange not to be dizzy." ”

Wu Qing casually picked up the cup on the table and poured tea, "I don't think that Fang clan is easy to deal with, she must be reluctant to marry her baby daughter, that Cheng Gu, I'm afraid she will be wronged to be cannon fodder." ”

Xia Mengning thought about it, and felt that this possibility was really big, the Fang family cared so much about his eldest daughter, he definitely couldn't let Cheng Gu's small role be ruined, and now the only way was to kill Cheng Gu and keep Xia Mengxi.

Thinking of this, Xia Mengning stood up and called Zhulian, and Wu Qing asked, "You also want to join in the fun?" ”

Xia Mengning turned her head and glanced at Wu Qing, "My mother is sick, how can I, as a daughter, not visit." ”

Putting on her clothes, Xia Mengning tidied up her hair slightly, and did not forget to remind Wu Qing when she went out, "You have to take care of this bamboo branch garden these days, especially the girl in Jiu'er, help me protect her, as for Yilan Garden, just look at it, don't act rashly." ”

Wu Qing nodded, and took a piece of osmanthus cake from the small plate on the table, which made Zhu Lian roll her eyes.

Walking out of the bamboo branch garden, Zhu Lian didn't forget to complain to Xia Mengning, "Miss, look at that Wu Qing, she hangs all day long, it's just that she doesn't follow the rules, she is still so presumptuous in front of Miss, the slave and maid say a few words to her, and she is still giggling." ”

Xia Mengning held Juan Pa in her hand, stretched out her index finger and tapped Zhu Lian's smooth forehead, "Why has Zhu Lian been getting more and more broken recently, is it time to find her mother-in-law?" ”

Zhu Lian's cheeks were red at Xia Mengning's words, and she stomped her feet shy and anxious: "Miss, there are no slaves, slaves and maids just can't get used to Wu Qing's way of becoming, so Miss dislikes slaves and maids and breaks their mouths......"

Xia Mengning looked at Zhulian with a pitiful look, and immediately softened her heart, countless midnight dreams, she remembered that she protected herself at the last moment in her previous life, thinking of this, Xia Mengning couldn't help but stop and said softly: "Zhulian, Wu Qing's nature is like this, not to mention that her martial arts are very high, she can protect us in Zhuzhiyuan, she was born in the mountains and forests, and she doesn't have so many rules to talk about, but her nature is not bad, isn't it?" You have to look at her strengths more and mind less about her shortcomings, so that you can get along amicably. ”

Zhu Lian listened to Xia Mengning's words, and the red tide on her face was even worse, "Zhu Lian was confused, and she actually asked Miss to reason with herself, Miss, you don't have to go to your heart......"

Xia Mengning pulled her collar for her, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I originally treated you as my sister, Zhulian, you are good to me, I know, don't say such things in the future." ”

Zhu Lian nodded with tears, Xia Mengning picked up Juan Pa and wiped the tears on her face, and joked with a smile: "Zhu Lian pear blossoms bring rain, I really feel pitiful." Zhu Lian was embarrassed, but an arrogant voice came from here.

"Who did I say, it turned out to be the third sister."

Xia Mengning turned around and happened to see Xia Mengyou and Xia Mengran.

Xia Mengyou was wearing a yellow dress, wearing a few bright peony flowers on her head, and her bright makeup made Xia Mengyou, who was still young, look a lot older, Xia Mengning looked at it and said, "The fourth sister and the fifth sister also went to visit their mother?" Xia Mengyou snorted disdainfully, turned around and swayed forward, Xia Mengning didn't care, just lowered her eyes, held Zhulian's arm and continued to walk forward.

"The third sister stays."

Xia Mengran stepped forward and looked at Xia Meng's body.

Xia Mengning looked at it and asked, "Is there something wrong with the fifth sister?" ”

Xia Mengran smiled, "The third sister is acting rigorously today, and the eldest sister is still under the control of the medicinal effect, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to wake up for a while." ”

Xia Mengning was shocked, but her face was still faint, as if Xia Mengran's words were just casual greetings on weekdays, "Why don't I understand what the fifth sister said?" ”

Xia Mengran secretly observed Xia Mengning's face, surprised that she was not afraid after hearing her secret, and at the moment she just secretly admired Xia Mengning's mind, "Third sister, let's not talk darkly, today's abnormal state of the big sister, I'm afraid it's not so simple." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, tied a knot with Juanpa's fingers lightly, and said slowly: "What does the fifth sister want?" ”

Xia Mengran was happy in her heart, this Xia Mengning was really scared, and she just smiled and said at the moment, "My sister is not as smart as my sister, I just ask my sister to mention my sister more, so that my sister's life will be better." ”

Xia Mengning laughed out loud, "Where did the fifth sister say, you and I are both daughters, where is there a reason for someone to help whom, if the fifth sister wants to improve her life, she should be like the fourth sister to slap her mother and eldest sister, I don't mind a concubine, how can I help anything?" ”

Xia Mengran's smug look had not yet dissipated, and she thought that she could use this matter to threaten Xia Mengning to let her help her, and finally manipulate her and let herself marry into the Shizi Mansion, but how could this Xia Mengning say such a thing, in a hurry, Xia Mengran couldn't help blurting out, "If I report this matter to my father, you will definitely not be able to escape." ”

Xia Mengning covered the corners of her lips with Juanpa, supported Zhulian's arm, and said with a smile: "I thought that the fifth sister was a smart and lovely person, but why is it confused today, if the fifth sister is completely sure of getting rid of me, just give it a try, my sister is waiting here." ”

After speaking, he walked forward with Zhu Lian, not caring at all about Xia Mengran's expression behind him.

Xia Mengran stomped his feet, and after thinking about it, yes, maybe his father wouldn't believe it at all, but he knew this secret, and he couldn't use it to get rid of Xia Mengning, at least he had to kill her sharpness.

After thinking about it, Xia Mengran called the maid beside him, whispered a few words in his ear, and saw that the maid nodded and retreated, Xia Mengran slowly tidied up her dress and walked in the direction of Yilan Garden.
