Chapter 8: The Mask of Human Skin

Who knows, the Marquis of Rong'an was alert, looked up and saw a figure reflected in the window, walked to the door quietly, and opened the door suddenly.

Marquis Rong'an saw that it was Xie Changan, looked at Xie Changan holding the food box in his hand, and asked stiffly, "What's the matter?" ”

Xie Chang'an Xu was weak-hearted, and involuntarily bowed his head and said, "Father, I made flat meat soup for my mother." ”

The Marquis of Rong'an had the heart to eliminate the estrangement with Xie Changan, and said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”

Xie Changan was surprised, the Marquis of Rong'an did not question her, but let her into the house, presumably there was something else to tell him, Xie Changan nodded, and entered the house generously.

When Xie Changan entered the house, the Marquis of Rong'an looked around, ordered his henchmen to guard the door, and closed the door.

Xie Changan saw that Lin was still depressed, so he put the flat meat broth in front of Lin, and was about to speak, but saw that there was still an object on the table, if she guessed correctly, it was a human skin mask.

Xie Changan's face changed, and he looked at the Lin family fixedly,

Lin was relatively speechless, and called softly: "An'er......"

Xie Changan just looked at the Lin family, as if he was questioning the Lin family with his eyes.

Lin sighed and said, "An'er, this is a human skin mask made in the appearance of your sister. ”

Xie Changan looked at the human skin mask expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Mother, are you so eager for me to become Xie Changning?" ”

Lin argued humbly: "An'er, this human skin mask is just in case, if you find Ning'er, you naturally don't have to ......."

Before the words fell, Rong Anhou on the side snorted coldly: "I can't help if she wears it or not, as a person from Rong'an Hou's Mansion, she should think about Rong'an Hou's Mansion." ”

One sings with a red face, the other sings with a hundred faces, Rong Anhou and his wife are afraid that it is good to sing!

obviously promised to give her time and wait for her to think clearly, but secretly he hid from her to make a human skin mask, obviously he had arranged everything, but he was still hypocritical and wronged on his face.

Xie Changan is not a man of temperament, and said bluntly: "You have already arranged it, right?" Since she eloped with someone, where would she plan to come back? Moreover, even if she comes back, will she still be Huang's daughter? How could Yan Shizi accept a woman who had been defiled by others! ”

Since they are ruthless, why should she be righteous Xie Chang'an, and it is only a matter of time before she tears her face.

"Xie Chang'an! What nonsense are you talking about? You keep saying that she is your sister-in-law! Rong Anhou blew his beard and glared, pointing at Xie Changan and scolding.

Seeing that the Marquis of Rong'an insisted on defending Xie Changning, Xie Changan smiled instead of anger: "Since this is the case, then you will get her back!" Why bother messing with me, bastard! ”

Glancing at the steaming flat meat broth on the table, Xie Changan laughed at himself and walked away without looking back.

Xie Changan, who returned to the room, only felt that her heart was mixed with flavors, and a sullen breath was blocked in her heart, she was really panicked, at this time she just wanted to vent, and when she caught a glimpse of the sword hanging on one side, Xie Changan took it down and went to the other courtyard.

Xie Changan's eyes were sharp, he raised his sword and cut it, cutting the branches of the plum blossoms in an orderly manner, and after a while, the trunks of the plum blossoms were already scarred and full of hideous cuts.

The depression in his chest dissipated, Xie Changan threw the sword aside like a force, stopped and stared at the trunk that was injured by him, Xie Changan was in a trance, the trunk was her, and he who was dancing his teeth and claws was Rong Anhou, Xie Changan's heart moved, stroked the mottled bark, and murmured: "Will you also hurt?" ”

Being able to return to her parents used to be what Xie Changan was looking forward to the most, but unfortunately reality gave her a resounding slap in the face, and she was able to return just because they needed it.

Xie Changan smiled bitterly, she thought that she had already been invulnerable, but she didn't want to be easily injured to the ground.

The snow was falling in a frenzy, and the winter in the capital was like a lifetime, and the pervasive cold gradually froze her heart.

"Miss! Miss! How did you get out on your own? It's cold, let's go back inside! ”

"Grab your sword." After the words fell, Xie Changan walked straight away.

Xie Changan, who returned to the house, wrapped himself in a quilt, and the red copper hand stove was naturally carried in his arms.

Seeing this, Qingshuang knew that it must be the Marquis of Rong'an who persecuted Xie Changan again, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and then said softly: "Miss, you can rest, I'll cook a bowl of red dates and ginger soup to ward off the cold for you." ”

Xie Changan was silent, and hid in the quilt with his head bored.

As soon as Qingshuang left with her front foot, Ziyun ran to Xie Changan's house with her back foot, still holding a human skin mask in her hand.

"Miss, Madame told you to put on this human skin mask." Ziyun said as he put his hands in front of the bed with the human skin mask.

Xie Changan poked his head out and shouted coldly: "Where did the maid come from so unruly?" Get out! ”

Ziyun forcibly held back his fear and said, "Miss, madam, please put on a human skin mask." ”

"Pear white, palm mouth!"

When Li Bai heard this, he stepped forward and slapped Ziyun's face hard, Xie Changan didn't say to stop, Li Bai could only keep beating with a ruthless heart.

"Alright, let her tell me why you want me to wear this human skin mask?"

Ziyun's mouth was swollen, and it was not good to speak, Libai listened to it for a long time before she replied to Xie Changan: "Miss, Ziyun said that the princess of Yanjun came to the mansion to see the eldest lady, but Madame couldn't, so she had to ......."

Xie Changan sneered and mocked: "Emergency? I'm afraid that this salvation will save me! ”

Li Bai was speechless, Ziyun was so anxious that she muttered on the side, Li Bai heard it clearly and said to Xie Changan: "Miss, Ziyun said that if Miss doesn't go out to meet guests, the Hou Mansion is afraid that there will be a disaster to destroy the door." ”

Xie Changan was silent, thinking in her heart, she knew that what Ziyun said was not unreasonable, if she offended the Yan Wangfu, how could the Rong'an Hou Mansion still have a way to live? Scold! As her father said, she couldn't wear it or not, and sacrificing her was a foregone conclusion.

Xie Changan got up and sat in front of the bronze mirror with a cold face, shivering with cold, Li Bai saw this and took a white fox fur and put it on Xie Changan, turned around and took the human skin mask in Ziyun's hand, and saw that Xie Changan did not make a sound, so he put the human skin mask on Xie Changan's face.

She looked at the face in the mirror in a daze, the country and the city, but it was very unfamiliar, it turned out that Xie Changning was born like such a fairy, no wonder Rong Anhou and his wife put it in their hearts, Xie Changan laughed at himself, he was really dispensable.

Seeing that Xie Changan was wearing a human skin mask, Ziyun began to mumble again, this time without waiting for Libai's translation, Xie Changan got up and walked out.

In the living room, Princess Yanjun was sitting precariously, accompanied by Mrs. Xie and Lin.

Princess Yanjun took a sip of tea, raised her eyes to look at the porter, and said with a smile: "Miss Xie's shelf is not small?" ”

Princess Yanjun came for Xie Changning this time, and the rumors in the market were all over the place, saying that her daughter-in-law, who had not passed through the door, really eloped with other men, and Princess Yanjun naturally wanted to come to see in person, are the rumors groundless?

Old Mrs. Xie and the Lin family were embarrassed when they heard this, and they were about to speak, but they saw the belated "Xie Changning" appear.

Xie Changan raised his eyes and saw a lady in gorgeous clothes sitting on a pineapple wood carved armchair, presumably this was the princess of Yanjun, Xie Changan walked up to the princess of Yanjun and said softly: "Changning has seen the princess of Yanjun." ”

Princess Yanjun raised her head, looked at it, and then asked, "You are Miss Xie?" ”

Xie Changan didn't know if Princess Yanjun knew Xie Changning, and he was afraid that he would make too many mistakes, so he only nodded lightly.

"She is worthy of being the first talented woman in the capital, and she is really born with a beautiful appearance and is extraordinary!" got an affirmative answer, Princess Yanjun did not hesitate to praise "Xie Changning".

When Xie Changan heard this, his tense heartstrings loosened, and he said, "The princess praised it falsely." ”

Mrs. Xie on the side hurriedly took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Princess Yanjun has won the award, our family Ning'er is just an ordinary boudoir woman, somewhat talented, but she is touted as the first talented woman in the capital by uninformed people, she deserves it!" ”

"Yes, our family Ning'er is just able to embroider and play the piano, just as a daily pastime." Lin echoed.

Hearing this, Princess Yanjun couldn't help but look at 'Xie Changning' a few more times, and saw Xie Changning standing quietly behind Mrs. Xie, who was generous, Princess Yanjun couldn't help but glance at 'Xie Changning' in her heart.

On weekdays, Princess Yanjun has also seen a lot of warblers Yanyan, this Miss Xie is really a different wonderful person.

"Even if her talent is touted by others, but this appearance is not available to others, and she is born so standard, it is no wonder that our family Qinglan has a soft spot for Miss Xie!" Princess Yanjun smiled lightly.

Princess Yanjun still remembers that day Yan Qinglan told her that day that she wanted to marry Xie Changning, the eldest lady of the Rong'an Hou family, her Lan'er was so big, and it was the first time she had a girl in her heart, and she naturally hoped that he could be happy.

At that time, the princess of Yanjun was quite in agreement with this family affair, not to mention that the Marquis of Rong'an and the princess of Yanjun were a good match, Xie Changning's reputation in the capital was excellent, and her appearance and talent were all first-class, and the princess of Yanjun happily married this family.

Who knows that the good times won't last long, there have been rumors about Xie Changning recently, and Princess Yanjun is really not at ease, so she went in person.

Now, this "Xie Changning" is standing in front of him, and the rumors are self-defeating, is it just groundless?

Princess Yanjun thought to herself, I heard that the Xie family still has a little daughter who is fostered in Fujian, and she has also returned to Beijing recently.

Princess Yanjun looked at 'Xie Changning' who was standing in an orderly manner behind Old Lady Xie again, and said to Old Lady Xie as if pointedly: "Why don't you see Second Miss?" ”

Lin's heart was beating wildly, and Mrs. Xie said in time: "The second girl has been playing in Zhuangzi these days, and she is not in the house. ”

Princess Yanjun let out a soft "oh", and then said: "Another day, I will definitely meet the second lady, I think it is also a wonderful person." ”

Old Mrs. Xie smiled and admitted: "That's nature!" ”

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Princess Yanjun didn't stay long, chatted a few words and went home.
