Chapter 290: Cousins

"Why did Mrs. Yang leave so early?"

Xie Lingyun was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Xue Renjie to suddenly ask about Mrs. Yang, remembering that Mrs. Tai had instructed her not to tell Xue Renjie about Xie Rongyue going to the Wei Mansion to be a concubine, she pondered for a while, she knelt on the bed and made the quilt, and said with her back to Xue Renjie:

Mrs. Yang seemed to be in a bit of a hurry to deal with, so she hurried back. โ‰ฎFull text without pop-up window reading .โ‰ฏ"

Xue Renjie was originally drinking tea, frowning slightly when he listened to her words, and then saw her making the bed, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"There is a group of maids at home who eat dry rice?"

That's a big jump.

Xie Lingyun paused, turned his head to look at him, and felt a little unable to keep up with his thinking. Just now I was talking about Mrs. Yang, Chapter 29o Why did my cousin pull it on the maid again, and it seemed that something was wrong when she heard the words, she couldn't help but ask cautiously:

"What do you mean?"

Xue Renjie glared at her, feeling that she was knowingly asking, so he didn't get tired of raising his finger and pointing to pull out the bed, "Why do you want to make it yourself?" โ€

Feelings: This guy doesn't want to see himself laying out the quilt?

Xie Lingyun twitched the corners of her mouth, although she felt a little joy in her heart, feeling that he was caring about her, but she didn't want him to annoy Baoqin a few times, so she quickly explained:

"They were tired from a busy day, so I told them to go down and rest."

"Aren't you tired?! The maid is more delicate than the master, isn't it?! Xue Renjie was very angry, he usually didn't like her when he saw that she didn't have the majesty of the master in front of the maid, but now it's good. intensified, and even let the maid go down to rest, but she, the master, did the maid's work.

Xie Lingyun rolled her eyes in her heart, it seemed that she had stepped on a minefield. Or this uncle is in a bad mood today, afraid that he will be angry and punish a few people, she followed up and said:

"Not really. Today, my mother is greeting guests who come to the house, I just say hello to the side, and I'm not tired, besides, I usually spread the quilt by myself Chapter 29o Cousin, this little thing can still be done by myself. โ€

Xue Renjie heard her say this, and suddenly remembered. It seems that as long as she does what she can, she really rarely asks the maid to do it. didn't know so, he thought of her identity, and the anger in his heart instantly turned into pity. Looking at her, his eyes softened a lot.

"Don't do it yourself in the future, after all, there are so many maids at home." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but say sternly: "You have to remember your identity, how can there be a reason for the master to do it, and let others see what it looks like?" โ€

The little joy in his heart just now, because his last sentence became bitter, it turned out that he was afraid that she would lose his face.

Xie Lingyun said calmly: "The concubine is wrong, and she won't be in the future." โ€

"You" Xue Renjie frowned and looked at her under the candlelight, her expression was gentle. I don't know how to look at her with a calm expression, but I feel that she is not happy at the moment.

Xie Lingyun didn't plan to pay attention to him anymore, pretended not to hear, and silently lowered his head and laid the quilt that had been laid out a long time ago.

Xue Renjie also stopped talking, neither of them spoke, and a strange and oppressive atmosphere spread in the air.

Half an hour later. In the end, it was Xue Renjie who spoke:

"Mrs. Yang left early this morning, Yang Duwei was worried, and he didn't stay long and left in a hurry, what happened to the Yang Mansion?"

In fact, he had nothing to say, although it was very strange that Mrs. Yang left in a hurry, so that Yang Duwei couldn't sit still and left. But he, who has never cared about other people's family affairs, casually found such an excuse in order to break the silence between the two.

Yang Duwei went back early, Xie Lingyun knew, or she found the carriage arranged by Manager Wan, because the carriage on Yang's mansion carried Mrs. Yang back first. However, seeing that he repeatedly struggled with Mrs. Yang's early return, she couldn't help worrying about whether he heard something, and she couldn't care about being angry with him anymore, and asked:

"Mrs. Yang was in a hurry when she left, and she didn't say anything to the concubine, master, have you heard anything?"

"What can you hear?" Xue Renjie looked at her funny.

Xie Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but because she lied to him, she was a little weak after all, and she was afraid that he would ask Mrs. Yang about it, so she hurriedly said:

"It's not early, sir, let's rest."

"Hmm." Xue Renjie looked at her deeply, stood up, took off his shoes and went to bed, and then naturally took her in his arms......

The next day, Xie Lingyun got up early, Xue Renjie had already gone to the practice room, she sat in front of the dresser, pondered for a while, and suddenly said to Huqin:

"Don't do anything today, go back to Xie Mansion and see if there is any movement in Xie Mansion?" I don't know if Mrs. Yang is looking for the eldest wife?

Baoqin has been by her side for a long time, and she also knows about Xie Rongyue, and when she heard it, she knew why she wanted her to go to Xie Mansion, and she didn't say anything, so she complied.

Because she was going to the Guogong Mansion to pay New Year's greetings today, Xie Lingyun deliberately chose a light orange-red long gauze skirt, with a jacket of rose red brocade jacket, and the corners of the coat were sewn with snow-white rabbit fluff, and the brocade-like length was not pulled up at will as usual, but was tied into a knot with a red jade coral hairpin, which was more charming and graceful. Then she personally painted light makeup on the beautiful jade face, and the original delicate face faded the immature youth because she became a woman, showing a trace of charm, seducing the soul, and the other man suddenly lost his soul, and even Xue Renjie, who had just come back from practice, squinted, and only reacted after a while.

"It's all set."

Xie Lingyun saw him standing at the door, and said with a smile: "Master, is it okay to dress up like this?" I asked him this mainly because of what he said last night, lest he say that she would lose his face again.

Xue Renjie looked at her without blinking, and was shocked by the beauty of her face again, but intuitively he didn't want her to dress up like this, at least he didn't want her to dress up for others, because of this little caution in his heart, God made a ghost and said:

"Just to pay a New Year's greeting, you don't need to dress up deliberately."

Is this saying that she is overdressing?

Xie Lingyun frowned, feeling that he was picking bones in eggs - there was nothing to find fault with. I looked down at my outfit. Although he deliberately dressed up, it was not overdone, looking at his expression, it really affected her good mood.

Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence. She didn't talk to him about her outfit anymore, but talked about something else:

"Let's go to the Guogong Mansion, can we rush back before noon?" The Sixth Lady has not yet returned. She was worried that there would be no one to entertain her at home.

Xue Renjie nodded, gave a lukewarm "um", and then went to the clean room to freshen up.

The two of them had breakfast in the courtyard of Mrs. Tai, and then took a carriage to the Guogong Mansion.

When he arrived at the Guogong Mansion, the butler who greeted the guests at the door saw that it was the carriage of Prince Jane's Mansion, and hurriedly let people unload the threshold. He asked the little guy around him to report to the master quickly, and he greeted him warmly.

Xue Renjie got out of the carriage first, Xie Lingyun took the carriage and went directly into the Guogong Mansion, and only after the carriage stopped, she got out of the carriage.

At this moment, the Duchess and Liu Guogong are already waiting here. Seeing Xue Renjie and his wife, the two greeted each other with a smile and greeted each other, and then Liu Guogong invited Xue Renjie to the living room of the outer courtyard, and Xie Lingyun was welcomed into the main house of the inner courtyard by Mrs. Guogong.

"I didn't have time to thank you when I left yesterday, thank you for your hospitality, I and several ladies are full of praise for the princess." The Duchess said enthusiastically.

When Xie Lingyun heard it, she smiled modestly and said softly:

"You're so polite. I just took over the affairs of the house, and there are still a lot of things I don't understand, so if you neglect it, please forgive me. โ€

"Where." Duchess Guo's smile was a little more cordial, took her hand, and said sincerely: "Your mansion was really thoughtful yesterday. When I came back, I praised the princess to our grandfather. โ€

The two of them greeted each other and entered the main room, but Xie Lingyun saw that Mrs. Wei was sitting in the main room.

She's here now.

Xie Lingyun was very unhappy about seeing Mrs. Wei here, but she didn't show it on her face, she greeted Mrs. Wei gently, and she didn't care about Mrs. Wei's perfunctory attitude of reluctance to return the salute, anyway, she told Xue Renjie in the carriage that she wouldn't stay long in the Guogong Mansion.

Duchess Guo watched, lest Xie Lingyun misunderstand that their family was friendly with Mrs. Wei, so she quickly explained:

"I was going to Mrs. Zhao today, but unfortunately Mrs. Wei came, hehe, it's fortunate that I didn't go to Mrs. Zhao, otherwise the princess is here, but I'm not at home, it's really rude." While speaking, she had already asked the maid to serve refreshments, and sat beside Xie Lingyun with a smile, as if she wanted to prove something, and she was very indifferent to Mrs. Wei.

Xie Lingyun saw all this in his eyes and quietly picked up the teacup......

Sure enough, as Xue Renjie promised, Xie Lingyun didn't sit for long, and the little maid in the front yard came to report, saying that the prince was waiting for the princess to go back at the second gate.

Faced with the enthusiasm of the Duchess of the Kingdom, Xie Lingyun refused with a graceful smile.

After Xie Lingyun left, Mrs. Wei, who had been silent, gritted her teeth and said, "Look at her foxy look." โ€

The Duchess glared at her, and said angrily: "You can do it, let the princess see you here today, and you may not think much about the two of us." She took a sip of tea irritably and glared at her again.

Mrs. Wei was angry and retorted in a low voice: "Whatever she thinks, won't she know sooner or later anyway." โ€

"Sooner or later, you know what! Shut your mouth for me. The Duchess felt that she was about to be angry with her, and she didn't want to see her, "What are you doing early in the morning?" โ€

Mrs. Wei also thought of the right thing at this time, and she didn't dare to refute it anymore, but looked at the Duchess with a complicated expression, and said in a low voice:

"Cousin, what do you say, the eldest lady of the Xie Mansion came to my house overnight yesterday and said that she didn't agree with that matter, you said that you are not angry, I just came to ask you for an idea."

It turned out that Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Wei turned out to be cousins.

The Duchess was still worried about whether the princess would misunderstand or not, and when she heard what she said, she was a little confused, and asked:

"Disagree with what? What are you talking about? โ€

Mrs. Wei stomped her feet, "Oh, cousin, why did you forget, what I told you before, just to make that princess ugly, and let my grandfather's concubine of Naxie Mansion be a concubine." โ€

When the Duchess heard this, her voice rose by eight decibels, "You really did that?!" โ€

Seeing her shocked look, Mrs. Wei shrunk her shoulders, how weak her heart was, and said cautiously:

"Well, I, I went to Xie Mansion to mention it to the eldest lady, and I said it at the time, but I never thought that she came again last night and said that she regretted it, cousin, you said that she was not angry, and she promised a good thing, but she actually regretted it, I was really angry."

"You, you're still mad at me!" The Duchess pointed her finger at her angrily, "At that time, I just thought that you would just say it, but I never thought that you would dare to do this, do you know who you offended by doing this?!" โ€

"Who can I offend by doing this?" Mrs. Wei didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, smiled contemptuously, and said without knowing whether she was alive or dead: "I just want to make the concubine who robbed my daughter of the princess's position a little ugly, isn't she a princess, okay, then I'll let her sister come to my house as a concubine and live under my hands, I see where her face goes." As she spoke, a vicious glint flashed in her eyes.

The Duchess was really going to be angry with her, looking at her cousin who still didn't know what to fear, she said coldly:

"You are so capable, you dare to make the princess of the family ugly, do you know the consequences of your doing this, not only to make the princess ugly, but also to fall into the face of Prince Jian's mansion, this is not only, it is the Yang Duwei family who is about to become a family with the Xie Mansion, and it will also make you offended, good! Yes! I really didn't see it, you are still so powerful, you dare to offend Prince Jian's Mansion and Yang Mansion, okay, very good, you cousin, I can't afford to climb high, you better go, so as not to cause trouble for me. โ€

Mrs. Wei realized what she had done, but when she gave up, she was really unwilling in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel lucky, and said with a stiff smile:

"Cousin, it's not as scary as you say, I'm just doing this for that Xie Lingyun, what does it have to do with Prince Jian's Mansion and Mrs. Yang, don't be alarmist here."

Seeing that she was still obsessed, the Duchess sighed in her heart, and didn't bother to care about her business, now she remembered the eyes of the princess who glanced at her when she left, her heart was furious, and her body was swishing in a cold sweat......

Because of her irritability, the Duchess did not leave Mrs. Wei to eat at the house, and drove her away straightforwardly.

Mrs. Wei stood at the door of the Guogong Mansion and pondered carefully what the Duchess said, and then she was a little scared and left in a hurry......

And Xue Renjie and Xie Lingyun came back from the Guogong Mansion, and before the two of them could stand on their feet, Manager Wan trotted over and said a few words in Xue Renjie's ear.

When Xue Renjie heard this, his cold eyes lit up, a flash of surprise flashed on his face, and he turned to Xie Lingyun and said, "Master go to the outer study, you go to your mother's place first." โ€q๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ โ‰ฎYan Moxuan no pop-up adsโ‰ฏ .
