The plum of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is not Ling Xue Hanmei, but the spring plum after the snow. On this day, the sky is beautiful, the spring is bright, the spring plum blossoms are in full bloom, and it is a good day to enjoy the plum blossoms.

The Xuanping Marquis Mansion belongs to the upper class family in the capital, so most of the people who come up to enjoy the plum banquet are dignitaries and celebrities. They are in groups of three or two, appreciating plum blossoms and paintings, chanting poems, and making beautiful scenery in the plum blossom forest.

As the main family, the county lord of Qi'an was accompanying a few distinguished guests in the pavilion at this time, and while he was talking, Li'er came in to report.

"Madam, the eldest lady is here."

Before the official banquet, the eldest lady Wei Yuxiao was late.

There are no secrets in the circle of the capital, Wei Yuxiao returned home a few days ago, these people naturally know, and they also know what today's plum banquet is. So they also have a lot of curiosity about the eldest lady Wei Yuxiao, who has disappeared in the circle of the capital for five years.

"It's coming."

With the words of the county lord of Qi'an, a graceful girl came in.

About the prime of his life, with a goose egg face, peach blossom eyes, and a touch of signs, his complexion is not good, his face is pale, and there is a sick breath between his eyebrows, and he looks like he has not recovered from a serious illness. She combed her hair in a hanging bun, wore a phoenix hairpin on her head, and wore a gorgeous Yingluo collar around her neck, these things were all good things, but Wei Yuxiao wore them more and more to make Wei Yuxiao thin and weak, and she couldn't suppress these. Dressed in a pink dress, the fabric is high-quality brocade, and the workmanship is meticulous and exquisite. However, Wei Yuxiao was dressed very ill-fitting, this dress was obviously big, and it seemed to be someone else's clothes.

That's interesting.

The county lord of Qi'an has always flaunted himself for his kindness and benevolence, and today is still to clarify the rumors of the past few days, but Wei Yuxiao's current appearance has confirmed the rumors.

The county lord of Qi'an was surprised by Wei Yuxiao's sick and crooked appearance now, and he reacted to Wei Yuxiao's intention in an instant.

"Yuxiao greets Madame."

The first thing Wei Yuxiao did after coming in was to greet the county lord of Qi'an in a weak voice, his eyes were full of fear of the county lord of Qi'an, and his behavior and demeanor were more unbearable than a concubine.

"Yuxiao is late, please punish Mrs."

In just two sentences, the eyes of the people present looked at the county lord of Qi'an. If the county lord of Qi'an didn't do anything to Wei Yuxiao, they didn't believe it, and it seems that the rumors are not rumors.

"What nonsense is this kid talking about, what is not to blame. I see that your complexion is still not good today, so it can be seen that the wind chill has not healed a few days ago. Yesterday it looked good, but today it is serious. Alas, after being sick these days, you have lost a lot of weight, and even your newly made clothes do not fit. Another day, let Master Qian, who is wishful of splendor, cut a few more clothes for you. ”

The county lord of Qi'an looked at Wei Yuxiao, his face was full of kindness, and then he smiled helplessly and said to the ladies in the pavilion: "I'm not afraid to make you laugh, Sister Xiao is a person who is about to get married, but she is still a child." When she first returned to the capital, it snowed heavily at night, and the next day she saw the snow in the courtyard, so she pulled the maid to play in the snow. She has been weak since she was a child, and no, she has contracted the wind cold.

Speaking of which, a few days ago, some people took advantage of this incident to spread rumors, saying that I was mistreating her, which is really ridiculous. Although I am not her biological mother, I regard Sister Xiao as my own, how can I be willing to treat her badly in the slightest. The purpose of those people is to separate me from Sister Xiao'er, which is really hateful. Fortunately, all of you sisters know me and will not believe any nonsense. I also took advantage of today to clarify the rumor. “

In a few words, the county lord of Qi'an resolved the crisis brought to her by Wei Yuxiao in this way, and explained the rumors by the way, killing two birds with one stone.

Old fox.
