Chapter 78: Tattooed Inkstone
Just when Luo Qiyue's two mothers and daughters staged a drama from "mother and daughter turning against each other" to "mother-daughter love", Xiahou Ying had returned to the Lu family from the Guogong Mansion after the banquet.
"This inkstone was given to the eldest lady by the old lady of the Xiahou family, you can't take it!" As soon as she entered the courtyard, Xia Houying heard a noise coming from her room.
"Li Xue'er, you figure it out! This is something that the second lady has taken a fancy to, where is your turn?! Dongmei, the big maid in Xiahou Ying's room, reprimanded the little maid with an impatient face.
"But, but this is the eldest lady's thing, even if the second lady wants it, it should be the eldest lady's nod first, how can you take it directly?" The maid Xue'er said with a look of indignation.
"As long as it's something that the second lady likes, how can the eldest lady not give it, you're just doing it redundantly!" Dongmei scolded loudly.
"Sister Dongmei! You are also a person in the eldest lady's room, why do you turn your elbows out all day long? Xue'er couldn't persuade Dongmei, and couldn't help but be anxious.
"What can't be turned, you give me less and more nosy!" Dongmei, who was said to be weak-hearted, pushed Xue'er away fiercely, snatched the inkstone, and walked out.
"Ahh However, before she left the door, Dongmei saw Xiahou Ying who had been standing at the door for a long time.
"Big, Miss......" was arrested, and the current Dongmei humbly hid the inkstone behind her.
"Hmm." Xiahou Ying nodded lightly, and walked directly around Dongmei and walked up the stone steps.
However, after walking a few steps, Xiahou Ying suddenly stopped again, turned around and looked at Dongmei, "Where is Mama Lan?" ”
"She, she's gone out to buy things for Madame......" Dongmei replied in a voice like a mosquito.
"Oh." Xia Houying nodded, then turned around and continued to walk towards the house.
Dongmei saw Xiahou Ying turn back, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. This thing is also strange, she used to often contradict the eldest lady, but now just saying a word to the eldest lady will make her heart beat for a long time, why is this?
Just when Dongmei was thinking, Xiahou Ying stood on her feet again and looked at Dongmei.
"Dongmei." Xiahou Ying called out to the distracted Dongmei and pulled her back to reality.
"I heard that Chang'er will be back tomorrow, so you will send the inkstone in your hand to Mrs. in a while, and tell Mrs. that this is a gift from me to Chang'er." After speaking, Xiahou Ying didn't wait for Dongmei's reaction, so she directly lifted the curtain and entered the room.
Dongmei took out the inkstone from her back and couldn't help frowning. How did the eldest lady know that it was actually the lady who asked her to get this inkstone?
"Miss, you're back!" Inside the house, Xue'er immediately cried when she saw Xiahou Ying.
"Yo, who bullied our Xue'er?" Xia Houying looked at Xue'er who had a handful of snot and tears, and couldn't help but quip.
"Big, Miss! Yes, it was Xue'er who was useless, and she didn't look at the house, the house...... Lines, inkstones were snatched away! Cher said as she sobbed.
Looking at Xue'er's self-blaming appearance, Xiahou Ying couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her little head, and said softly, "Okay, I already know about this, don't blame you, don't cry!" ”
"Winter, Dongmei......" Xue'er pointed to the door and frowned.
Xia Houying held Xue'er's hand and shook her head slightly, stopping what Xue'er was going to say next.
"Don't cry, go wash your face first." Xiahou Ying patted Xue'er's hand and said softly.
