Xia Ruixi groaned: "That **** escaped, did you find out when you went to wake me up after dawn?" ”

Wan'er shook her head: "That night, the slave maid had slept outside to keep vigil, the slave maid had always slept very vigilantly, and the slave and maid could hear any noise from the young lady, but she slept dead that night, and she didn't hear any movement." "The things of that day were full of strangeness, but the lord and the lady strictly ordered them not to make a noise, so they were suppressed. She, the first person responsible, was only scolded and fined a few months of monthly money.

Xia Ruixi noticed that this place was very strange, and she had witnessed Mrs. Xia's methods of governing the family. Mrs. Xia manages the backyard very tightly, not to mention during the day, there are several groups of mothers-in-law who patrol back and forth every night, and they will quickly report to her whenever there is any trouble. And Miss Xia Er's Sydney Xiaozhu is deep in the backyard of Xia Mansion, and there are several small courtyards separated from the nearest courtyard wall, the distance is long, and people come and go, it is very difficult to avoid everyone's eyes and ears, why can Miss Xia Er escape smoothly and unknowingly that day? Unless someone is helping her. This person, needless to say, is naturally Zhao Mingtao.

But something like this happened, the young lady had an affair with another man and ran away, shouldn't such a girl be killed? Why can Wan'er live well? Xia Ruixi asked, "You have always been by my side, and I am like Ming Gongzi...... Why didn't my father and my mother punish you, but let you stay with me all the time? ”

Wan'er's face changed rapidly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The lord and lady have always understood things and have never been angry with their subordinates. Miss has not liked slaves since she was a child, and she doesn't let them know anything. So the slave maid only vaguely guessed some before, and didn't dare to talk nonsense......, well, later, after the lord and the lady knew about it, they ordered the slave and maid to atone for their sins and guard the young lady. So ...... "It was from that time that she began to seek refuge with Mrs. Xia and report on Xia Ruixi's every move."

After Wan'er finished speaking, she saw Xia Ruixi looking at her with a smile, a little embarrassed, "Miss, the lord and the lady are all for your good." You didn't have a good temper at that time, and other people were a little afraid of you...... Well, slaves have been by your side since childhood, and they are more familiar with your habits than others, so, well, ......"

Xia Ruixi understood what Wan'er meant, that is, the temper of the predecessor was too bad, except for Wan'er who was willing to be angry with her, the other maids did not dare to serve her closely. She had to admit that Mr. and Mrs. Xia were very smart, and this kind of thing was an ugly thing, so naturally they didn't need superfluous people to know.

If Wan'er is killed, no one will care about the life or death of a girl, but she is the person who serves Miss Xia Er's side, and her death will cause a lot of speculation, which is not conducive to the reputation of the Xia family. And leaving Wan'er can get more benefits. First of all, Wan'er is enough to spare her life, and she will never dare to talk nonsense. Leaving her can not attract the attention of others and cut off rumors; At the same time, who better to spy on the predecessor without arousing the suspicion of the predecessor than her?

Xia Ruixi smiled: "You said that you don't know anything, but you told me that Zhao Mingtao is not a good person, what do you mean?" ”

Wan'er said: "The slave didn't know anything before. But didn't that happen? The slave and maid naturally have to pay attention, so that they can answer when the master asks. If the master doesn't know, isn't the slave useless? ”

Listening to Wan'er's far-fetched reason, Xia Ruixi laughed dumbly, this is indeed a good reason. Obviously, she was curious and wanted to know more about the situation that was useful to her, so she said it so high-soundingly.

Wan'er continued: "Master Ming, well, Zhao Mingtao, he is not sincere to Miss, the slave maid heard that he is interested in the Xia family's money and Uncle Xuan's Honglu Academy, so the slave maid said that he is not a good person." ”

It really makes sense, there is something strange in this whole thing. First of all, Zhao Mingtao is the eldest son of the palace, and it is possible to inherit the title and have a noble status, what kind of woman can't you get? Why would he provoke Miss Xia Er, who was avoided by others, and didn't come to the door to propose marriage while saying that she would not marry? didn't come to the door to propose, but helped Miss Xia Er escape from the house and have a private meeting with him. had a private meeting with him, and that was ill-intentioned, saying that he really loved Miss Xia Er? Not necessarily. In this era of valuing a woman's reputation for chastity, who wants to let the beloved woman they want to be with for the rest of their life elope on their back?

The only explanation is that the Xia family is rich and the Xuan family has people, these two are the things that the superior values the most, not so much that Zhao Mingtao is beating Miss Xia Er's idea, but rather the idea of beating the wealth of the two families behind her. And while he took a fancy to the strength behind her, others also took a fancy to it, and this person's strength should be on par with Zhao Mingtao, so Zhao Mingtao didn't want to come to the door to propose, but was stopped by someone. Master Xia refused to cooperate, and he couldn't marry Miss Xia Er through normal channels by his own strength, so he had to resort to such a despicable method to lure Miss Xia Er to run away, in a vain attempt to cook raw rice into rice, so as to achieve his ulterior purpose.

Xia Ruixi figured out the cause and effect, and also understood why Master Xia was so worried. You think that you know that a hungry wolf covets your property at any time and wants to swallow you at any time, but you can't kill him to prevent future troubles, you can only watch out for it behind your back, and that taste is naturally unpleasant.

Wan'er saw that she was silent in thought, and added: "The slave maid listened to the lady and the eldest lady." ”

Xia Ruixi reprimanded in a low voice: "Nonsense! How could Madame and Mademoiselle say such a thing? He is a royal family member and has a noble status, so what do you want? Will you want our family's money? And that Honglu Academy, what did he do with it? What are you trying to put our family in such a mess? You chew your tongue again, be careful that I pull out your tongue. ”

Seeing her suddenly turn her face, Wan'er was startled and aggrieved, what she said was the truth, it was after Xia Ruixi fell off the horse, she overheard Mrs. Xia and Xia Ruinan say in private, and today she deliberately said it to please Xia Ruixi, who knew that this fart seemed to be slapped on the horse's hooves. However, she understood Xia Ruixi's last threatening words, and she was not allowed to go out and talk nonsense, otherwise she would pull out her tongue. "Royalty, royalty." She suddenly came back to her senses, "Mom." She covered her mouth and looked at Xia Ruixi in horror, "The slave is really stupid. ”

Xia Ruixi nodded lightly: "I don't have anything to ask, you can step down." ”

Xia Ruixi was lying on the carriage, and the early spring sun shone on her through the curtain, which was warm and made her sleepy. Her mind was messy, and she finally figured out why Ou Sishao admitted that he injured her at the beginning, and when Mrs. Shang wanted to keep her to recuperate, a calm and upright person like Mrs. Xia would be so happy that she even forgot the etiquette rules, and she just wanted to paste her up and marry Ou Sishao immediately. It is only because of being remembered that only by relying on a family like the Ou family can it be possible to avoid a powerful and noble person like Shouwangfu.

This is also the reason why Uncle Xuan and Mrs. Xia are not happy that she married Xuan Wu, because this will only accelerate the demise of the two families. In such a society, sure enough, the family needs to marry in order to preserve itself, expand its strength, and be invincible. No matter what purpose the Ou family is willing to marry her, Master Xia and Mrs. Xia actually need to marry her to the Ou family. But they still indirectly rejected the marriage of the Ou family because she didn't like Ou Sishao, how many people can do this kind of loving daughter's parents' heart? Although she knew that people were good to her daughter, not to her, an impostor, she was the one who always got the benefits, Xia Ruixi's eyes moistened for a while.

rejected the Ou family, couldn't marry Xuan Wu, and was calculated by Shouwangfu, what kind of person could she find as a husband? What kind of people would dare to marry her? Would you like to marry her? She wants to marry a husband who is usually like her, has similar interests, and has a white head for a lifetime, will she be daydreaming? Perhaps, going to burn this incense stick is really her only way out and turning point.

Master Xia was also in a trance on the horse. Since Xia Ruixi fell and lost his memory, they are strictly forbidden to mention the past, and they are cautious to guard against the speculation of people with intentions, even if someone comes to the door to propose, they are also tightly guarded and do not let it out, for fear that Zhao Mingtao will ruin Xia Ruixi's marriage if he knows about it.

The Ou family came to propose marriage, God knows how happy he and Mrs. Xia were, but the two little enemies were reluctant, and they couldn't tie the two together. Fortunately, there was an unwritten rule at that time - the family proposed to each other, there were always likes and dislikes, in order to ensure that everyone's face is not damaged, not to hurt the peace, most of them are carried out secretly, only a very few parties know, the marriage is completed, will be officially announced to the public. If it weren't for that, I was afraid that Xia Ruixi's marriage would be even more embarrassing.

Now that the marriage of the Ou family has not been completed, the Xuan family is not suitable, and Zhao Mingtao has been targeted again, which is really moldy. Could it really be as the old monk said, this incense must be burned in order to break this bad luck and keep the whole family safe? But this incense, although he said that he was determined to get it, but he could burn it, but he couldn't burn it, and he didn't have any bottom in his heart.

Besides, Xia Ruibei, Xia Ruixi's punishment was not as severe as she imagined, she only received a few words of scolding, and even Wan'er's girl was only demoted by one level and slapped twice. This made her a little depressed, how could this person be so different from others? It is conceivable that if she is the one who does this today, she will inevitably be beaten, where is Xia Ruixi better than her? Xia Ruixi always causes trouble outside, although she herself has more things to do at home, she never causes any trouble at home outside, why do parents prefer Xia Ruixi? She doesn't understand, and she doesn't admit defeat, if she does it like Xia Ruixi, will she get more attention from her parents?

She thought of her bleak marriage and future again, in fact, deep in her heart, she also understood that Mr. and Mrs. Xia really felt sorry for her and were unwilling to let her marry into the Sun family to endure hardships, but they had no choice but to delay, everything could only depend on her own creation. In the midst of the frustration, she drove Yan'er away, lying alone in the empty car, watching the mottled changes of light and shadow outside the window, her heart was empty, sadness and despair were like two demons, making her world a mess. She wanted to scream, she wanted to cry, she wanted to run away from everything in front of her, but she knew she couldn't do that, that wouldn't help.

It's not a long-term solution to drag Xia Ruixi from getting married, even if Xia Ruixi doesn't get married, she can't be an old girl for a lifetime, right? Tou Zhu Xiang, Tou Zhu Xiang, maybe, Xia Ruixi burned the head of Zhu Xiang, she will also follow the transfer, not waiting for her to come back from the capital, the Sun family's tuberculosis ghost is cured, or it is not necessary to die. She also pinned all her hopes on Xia Ruixi's burning incense, silently praying in her heart that Xia Ruixi must burn this incense, thinking about it, she fell asleep in a daze.

For a while, the hearts of the Xia family's father and daughter were all occupied by this incense, and the beautiful scenery on the road was not in their eyes.
