After Xiao went out, he didn't go directly to see the eldest sister, but called the housekeeper mother and the eldest maid who were waiting beside his mother.

She is the best at pretending to be a ghost, and she is good at using dreams to achieve her goals, but the inexplicable rumor still makes Xiao Shi suspicious.

The Xiao family never wants to be treated the way others do it.

She asked carefully if anyone had been near her mother recently, and asked if there was anything unusual in the backyard.

The housekeeper's mother is used to Xiao Shi, and she is loyal to her, and she shook her head together and said, "Go back to your aunt and grandmother, everything is fine." ”

Xiao Shi looked over one by one, their faces were honest and humble, and they didn't seem to be lying, if she was really too careful?!

"My mother always likes to mention the past recently, I am afraid that she will say the wrong thing for a while, my mother loves to take the mistakes of others on herself, so that others misunderstand her. In the future, you will serve her more wholeheartedly, and when there are many people around her, try to let her say a few words. ”

"Yes, Grandma."

The Xiao family's words are holy decrees in the Xiao family, so naturally no one raised objections.

Xiao said: "Especially the eldest sister, she was lonely in her previous life, and finally returned to her mother's house, you should pay more attention to her and take care of her more, my mother will be uncomfortable when she sees her, and the eldest sister will not ask my mother for peace in the future." ”

Now the enemies of their mother and daughter are still alive, and only the Da Xiao family is left.

Xiao didn't want to keep her, but it felt too good to step on the former eldest sister, and Xiao was reluctant to let her die silently.

Before taking Da Xiao back to her parents' home, Xiao Shi made people carefully test her many times, and found that she had been tortured by the cruelty of life to the point of life.

Da Xiao has always been very grateful to her, and she doesn't even need to say much, Da Xiao said that his biological mother is **.

She was ashamed of her biological mother and couldn't wait to crawl out of Old Madam Xiao's belly.

Xiao also made people check that she had never worshiped her biological mother.

In this way, Xiao spared her life!

After explaining to the housekeeper's mother, Xiao Shi said lightly: "Let the eldest sister come in." ”

Without her orders, Da Xiao could only stand at the door of the courtyard.

A thin woman walked in, her eyes narrowed, and her shoulders seemed to be unable to straighten, the sequelae of years of needlework.

She's okay now, at least she can see people.

In a few years, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see people clearly.

She has an old face, her skin is like the bark of a dead tree, and she is dull, and she can't compare with the Xiao family, who still has charm.

It seems that she is only a few years younger than Old Madam Xiao.

She was dressed in a navy blue gown, which was extremely simple.

Xiao's eyes flashed with pride, every time he saw her, he would always be in a very good mood.

"I let my sister wait outside for a long time, and I just dealt with some things and delayed my efforts."

Xiao Shi said pretly: "My sister is also a dead eye, can't she go to the ear room to sit for a while?" We sisters don't need to be polite. ”

Da Xiao smiled timidly and flatteringly: "I didn't have to wait long, Mrs. Xiao is busy, I am a big idler, and it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer." ”

But not just for a moment, she stood outside the courtyard gate for more than half an hour.

"I saw my sister today less than a few days ago, but the people who served my sister were not satisfied?"

"It's because I don't have a good appetite lately, so I'm using it less."

Da Xiao narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to see Xiao Shi's expression clearly, and asked cautiously, "...... you called me here?"

Xiao Shi said: "In another month, it will be the death day of my sister's biological mother, I want to ask my sister is still the usual practice in previous years?" Even if your biological mother did something wrong, my sister refused to worship her all these years, which is a bit too much. ”

"If I don't go, I won't worship her."

Da Xiao gritted his back molars, and his dry heart was still very painful, "Such a woman is a shame for the Xiao family, and she is not worthy of sacrificial tribute." ”

Xiao Shi has been secretly observing her, and nodded slowly: "Since my sister said so, I can't be reluctant, this year will be in accordance with the practice of previous years." ”

Da Xiao snorted without being salty, as if he was full of hatred for his biological mother.

Xiao Shi said again: "There is one thing, I want to ask my sister for help." ”

Da Xiao said respectfully: "Please command." ”

"I heard that my sister's needlework is good, so I plan to ask my sister to help make some needlework."

"It's my honor to help you, just ask Mrs. Xiao."

Xiao Shi only wanted her to make a few pairs of shoes and socks for Zhen Guogong, but suddenly felt that this bit of needlework was too simple.

It's better to keep Da Xiao busy, and doing needlework all day long can also prevent Da Xiao from having bad thoughts again.

If she is completely blind, she is not to blame.

Xiao said: "The queen likes exquisite embroidery the most, if my sister is free, help me embroider a double-sided screen, I have a sample of the Qingming Riverside map, my sister can embroider according to the sample, so that it is good to show the prosperity of the empire, the back, after all, to dedicate to the mother, embroider a hundred birds and a phoenix." ”

Da Xiao bit his lip.

"But embarrassed sister? I know that embroidery hurts the body, but it can be dedicated to the queen, and I don't dare to be sloppy, and I can't believe in other people's craftsmanship. When I get the reward, I will naturally not forget my sister, and when the time comes, I can always ask my sister for a background, and I can also wash away the stigma on my sister. ”

"Since it is your command, I will do my best."

"I'll find two more embroidery girls to help my sister, I can't let my sister work alone, I won't be able to do it."

Xiao said affectionately, "In addition to embroidering the screen for the queen's mother, I also have a little thing to ask my sister for help, if I have my sister's hand of needlework, it would be good, and I don't always have to be ridiculed by Grandpa Guo to embroider it." ”

"At the beginning, I shouldn't have focused on reading, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I should have devoted some attention to needlework."

Da Xiao clenched his fists slightly, and persuaded him: "Needlework is insignificant, only piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are what girls should learn, and the Xiao family is not short of needlework people, Mrs. Xiao doesn't need to worry about needlework, if you can't trust the needlework people, I can do some embroidery work for you." ”

"Great, that's what I mean, my sister really knows my thoughts."

Xiao Shi hooked the corners of his mouth, "Grandpa Guo gave me a lot of things and jewelry, and I thought about giving Grandpa Guo a surprise, after all, Grandpa Guo lacks nothing, and the needlework I made with my own hands can always make him aware of my intentions." ”

"I don't want to embroider exquisite patterns like my sister, just don't be laughed at by him."

The deep affection and sweetness in Xiao's words are particularly piercing the heart of Xiao's unhappy marriage.

Her husband was not only reckless and incompetent, but also beat himself from time to time.

But Xiao's husband is the famous Zhenguo Gong!

Da Xiao said: "It's too late for Grandpa Guo to feel sorry for you, how can he laugh at you?" Mrs. Xiao will draw a picture for me, and I will be able to do it in a few days. ”

Xiao Shi got up and said, "I'm tired of my sister, I don't even want to go." ”

She pointed to the side, and the maid stepped forward with a gold-painted box, "Although I have brought these jewelry, they are quite exquisite, so my sister should take them." ”

"Thank you, thank you."

Da Xiao happily took the box and thanked Xiao again.
