Chu Yan's words made the old lady feel that there was a sense of disgust in this, this west courtyard is not as good as other courtyards, and there are a few big trees planted in this courtyard, and a fence has been built around it to make a vegetable garden, which looks like a vegetable farmer, no wonder Chu Yan would say such a thing.

Any courtyard in this Xiao Mansion is much stronger than this West Courtyard, but Xiao Changge wants to live here, she must have done it on purpose!

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, let's go and sit in the hall, it's a little shabby here."

The old lady laughed awkwardly a few times, and looked left and right along Chu Yan's line of sight.

Chu Yan withdrew his gaze from Xiao Changge and nodded.

After only taking a few steps, he looked back at Xiao Changge, who was standing motionless in place, and smiled.

"Why don't you come with Changge?"

Xiao Changle bit the corner of his lip, the corner of his lip seemed to be about to drip blood, his nails were embedded in the palm of his hand, and he looked unwilling.

When did this little slut hook up with the prince, and why did the prince take care of her in every way!

It's like this once, twice, three times, and everything is inseparable from Xiao Changge.

Xiao Changge raised her eyebrows, even she didn't expect Chu Yan to speak.

Seeing Chu Yan say this, the old lady also stopped and turned to look at Xiao Changge, but the expression on her face was not as black as coal like Fang Cai.

But looking at Xiao Changge's eyes, it was a little weird, and the same thought as Xiao Changle appeared in his heart.

"Changge also come along, prince, let's please."

The old lady said with a cold face, and after speaking, she didn't even look at Xiao Changge, and took Chu Yan to the hall.

There are many female dependents in this mansion, and the old lady came to this west courtyard in a hurry this morning, which has already attracted the attention of people from other courtyards, so Chu Yan already knew about it as soon as he came, and there was only one thing that they couldn't guess, why Chu Yan came with Xiao Changge.

Could it be that the prince has taken a fancy to Xiao Changge? This thought came up from their hearts, and they paid a little more attention to Xiao Changge.

In the courtyard, when Xiao Yayan heard Chu Yan and Xiao Changge approaching, she sulked in the room.

If Chu Yan is with Xiao Changle, she is not as good as herself, but if she is compared with Xiao Changge, what is she not as good as her!

Except for the position of the concubine, she is better than Xiao Changge in everything, whether it is her figure, appearance or family background, what is not as good as Xiao Changge?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yayan became much more confident, since Xiao Changge can, then why can't she?

"Mother, why do you say this person has a different life?"

Xiao Yayan's eyes narrowed slightly and sighed, sometimes she really couldn't figure it out.

Hu Shi heard Xiao Yayan's words and hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Xiao Yayan, and showed a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Yan'er, what do you mean by that?"

Fang Cai Xiaoyuan told them about the prince's coming to the mansion, and now no one in the mansion knows that Chu Yan came with Xiao Changge, and the two of them are still talking and laughing.

She doesn't expect her daughter to marry the crown prince and become the crown princess or anything, she just hopes to find her a good family.

The position of the crown princess is not her daughter's turn, after all, there is still a Xiao Changle on her head.

Naturally, if there is no Xiao Changle, it will not be necessarily.

Her daughter's appearance is not lost to others, and when she swings on the stage, she must be an outstanding one.

"It's nothing, mother, if you married your father first, it would be great."

Xiao Yayan shook her head and said slowly, with a sense of complaint in her tone.

Hu Shi was silent, if she had agreed to this family affair first, then now the eldest lady must be her, and her daughter must also be the second lady!

It's just that Yan's little slut took it away first, and she was unwilling, but she did it herself, what can she do.

Back then, Mrs. Xiao took a fancy to the Hu family, and the dowry was carried to the Hu family, but her father disliked Xiao Yongde for being too upright and would suffer sooner or later and he was a small deputy general, so he didn't agree to this family affair for a long time, and she married her or did a second room, how could their Hu family endure it?

Later, Xiao Yongde made military exploits, and the first emperor remembered that he only had one wife, so he married Yan to Xiao Yongde.

The marriage given by the first emperor, even if you don't want to, what if you don't want to? can only get married.

As soon as the Hu family heard that Xiao Yongde had been reused by the first emperor, they began to regret it, and hurriedly called the matchmaker to come to the door to talk about the family, and in the end she became a third room, and she became a joke for the whole city.

A woman actually asked the matchmaker to come to the door to say that the matchmaker was the matchmaker, and when it was spread, she thought that she had no one to ask for it, but for the sake of the Hu family and her father, she could only endure this grievance.

Fortunately, Xiao Yongde is also a good man, but in his heart, there has never been a place for her.

This woman is all longing for a man to be hurt, she is also a woman, and she is no exception.

It's just that this love was given to others after all, and gradually even she was indifferent.

Love can be wanted, but what belongs to her must be fought for, and this is also for her daughter.

"Yes, if Ruoniang agreed first, you will be the second lady now."

Hu Shi's thoughts returned to the present, she sighed and said, and Xiao Yayan's heart softened when she heard Hu's self-blaming tone.

"I'm just casually saying, mother, don't take it to heart, it's a foregone conclusion, it's useless to say anything."

Xiao Yayan saw Hu's self-reproaching appearance and hurriedly said, she also said casually that she had no other meaning.

It's just that I envy Xiao Changle, who grew up in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and is the pearl of the Xiao family, but she is nothing as the third lady.

Everyone else calls her a young lady, but most of them only know that there is a talented girl in the Xiao family named Xiao Changle, but they don't know the names of others, they only know Xiao Changle's brilliance but ignore that there are other young ladies in the Xiao Mansion.

"I heard that when the old lady went to the West Courtyard, it was as black as coal, and the old lady was angry, and no one could coax her except Changle."

Hu Shi said slowly, a gleam crossed in his eyes, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but crack.

She is waiting for someone to punish Xiao Changge, this is good, the old lady will take action herself.

Even she knew the news, how could the Yan family not know? But the Yan family didn't come forward for a long time, since the Yan family didn't move, then they naturally wouldn't participate, they just watched from the sidelines.

"Oh no, no, Madame."

Just as the Hu clan was rejoicing that Xiao Changge was about to be punished, Xiao Yuan hurriedly came again.

This one bite is not good, it is not good, it makes people think that it is a funeral, and it is very unlucky.

Xiao Yuan ran to Xiao Yayan, holding his stomach with his hands and panting heavily, his face was a little ugly.

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Yayan raised her eyebrows and didn't have a good airway.

"The old lady has come out of the west courtyard."

Hearing this, Xiao Yayan's eyes immediately lit up, and she looked at Xiao Yuan happily and asked.

"Really? What about Xiao Changge? ”

She, like everyone else, was waiting for the result of the old lady's punishment, seeing the old lady's face turn black like that, Xiao Changge's chance of escaping was very small.

"The eldest lady also followed the old lady in the direction of the hall, and it seemed that the old lady did not punish the eldest lady, but looked happy."

Xiao Yuan shook his head, thinking back to the details he had just seen.

Now it was Xiao Yayan's turn and the Hu family couldn't sit still, they thought that this time they would make Xiao Changge suffer a little, but they didn't expect the old lady to look at Xiao Changge happily.

"Are you sure you read that right?"

Xiao Yayan asked again in disbelief, she didn't believe that the old lady would let Xiao Changge go so easily.

Xiao Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Xiao Yayan and Hu Shi glanced at each other, and their faces were not as good-looking as Fang Cai, but a little darker.

There was silence in the air, and both of them sat in their positions with their butts in their places, and no one thought that the old lady would let Xiao Changge go.

"Mother, did you say that this Xiao Changge did some witchcraft on grandma?"

Xiao Yayan's ghost sent a messenger, and her father also began to look at Xiao Changge, and even the old lady who had never disliked Xiao Changge was not angry with her, this matter was really mysterious.

Could it be that the sun is coming out of the west today?

"Shhhh

Hu's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly reached out to cover Xiao Yayan's small mouth, shook his head at her and warned.

Xiao Yayan thought of Xiao Wanqing, who had been locked in the room now, and sweated in her heart, she didn't want to be the second Xiao Wanqing.

"Yes, Yan'er knows."

Xiao Yayan covered her small mouth and didn't dare to continue with Fang Cai's words, this is good for everyone, but you can't get involved with the old lady.

And who knows if the people in the other rooms have any informants planted in her?

Xiao Yuan's eyes rolled, and seeing that the two of them were silent, she also subconsciously lowered her head and took a few steps back, and quietly walked out.

Inside the hall

This deserted hall has not been so lively as it is today for a long time, and this is a blessing thanks to Chu Yan.

Xiao Changge sat next to Chu Yan, and Chu Yan sat in the middle, Xiao Changle was on the other side of Chu Yan, this sitting position was really a little strange.

The old lady and Chu Yan were chatting about family life, Xiao Changle interjected a few words from time to time, and Xiao Changge watched the whole time.

Chu Yan is very good at grasping people's hearts, and the things he asks the old lady are all trivial things, but often this kind of trivial matter can make the old lady have a lot of topics to follow, and this question turns around and turns to the temple, which is deeper in the old lady's heart.

Now you can know why the old lady likes Chu Yan so much, as long as Chu Yan comes to the house, the old lady is as happy as eating dates.

Xiao Changle's eyes glanced at Xiao Changge and snorted softly.

Xiao Changge noticed that the new maid beside Xiao Changle was gone, and she could see that she had left sneakily, and she was going in the direction of the back door.

"Last time Prince Ben went, Master Huici kept talking about you, old lady."

"Haha Master Huici really has a memory, I still remember my old woman, next time I go I have to talk to him."

……

Inside the Ink Mill

"Have you thought about it? Has the eldest lady of General Xiao's family in the city ordered peony flowers from you? I heard that it was only booked this morning. ”

Jun Shu took out a silver ingot from his bosom and put it in front of the little guy and asked softly, the little guy forgot everything when he saw this ingot of silver.

"What I said is true, we have a record of every account here, and when it will be delivered, it will be recorded in detail, don't you believe it?"

The little guy handed the account book to Jun Shu, Jun Shu's eyes flashed, he took the account book and flipped through it carefully, and he really didn't see Xiao Changge's three words.
