Chapter 48. Something was overlooked
No matter how good Xue Zhenrao is, when he hears this, he will inevitably get angry, not to mention that it is just the surface.
"It's really a joke for my aunt to say this. The second cousin was originally a close relative, so what's wrong with coming here to see my uncle? The second cousin is a guest, I am the host, I just came to take a look, and I also respected it according to etiquette, is it possible to be like this with my aunt, in front of the guests, babbling and saying something that I don't have? I think my aunt must not have been so frizzy when she served by his wife's side, otherwise she would not have married into the Xue Mansion, and I was afraid that she would be kicked out if she was in the Wang family. ”
Xue Zhen's willow eyebrows were upside down, her apricot eyes were round, and in front of Xue Fu and the girls, she didn't save face for Aunt Zhou at all.
"Since they are close relatives, they do not distinguish between master and guest, and since they are guests, there is a difference between men and women. If it was a way of hospitality, why didn't the other girls rush over? The girl is older, and some worries are inevitable, so it's better to be reserved! Aunt Zhou shook her fan and looked at Xue Zhen with slanted eyes.
Seeing the anger on Xue Hao's face, she was proud, and she didn't pay attention to the words behind Xue Hao that ridiculed her as a slave, but laughed out loud twice, took Xue Fu and the girls, twisted her body and left.
Xue Zhen is not Xue Hui after all, and she can't do anything to go forward to fight people, so she can only watch Aunt Zhou leave the yard angrily and go staggeringly.
After a long while, Xue Zhen slowly calmed down the blood that was pouring into his heart, thought about it, and walked to the house.
Wang Muci was talking to Mrs. Wang, and when she saw Xue Zhen coming in, Mrs. Wang smiled first.
"But I met your fifth sister outside?"
"The fifth sister is okay, but my aunt said some crooked things again." Xue Zhen smiled. "I know, it's my aunt's temperament, I don't know, I thought it was our house, and my aunt was spoiled!"
"Since you know her character, just ignore her." Mrs. Wang didn't want to talk about Aunt Zhou in front of her nephew, so after saying this, she talked about something else. "You're here just in time, tomorrow, you will rest for a day, and then take your fifth sister out for a walk, and don't get bored in the house for the children."
When Xue Zhen heard Mrs. Wang say this, she knew that her mother didn't want to say more, so she should only say "yes", thought about it, and smiled again.
"Mrs. wants to let us rest for a day tomorrow, but I don't know if my sister has agreed with Miss Huo and Miss Fang again."
She didn't see Fang Jinyan today, but Fang Jinyan was in the pavilion just now, and Fang Jinyan was also there, so it can be seen that she still met Xue Rong.
Xue Zhen didn't think that she was too careful, she was really the girl from the Fang family, it was too obvious, and she couldn't wait to drag Xue Rong home for her brother immediately.
The people of the Zhongyi Mansion are simple and maverick, at least in the matter of children's relatives, unlike others, Xue Hui has to list Fang Jinyan and Fang Shuran as the biggest enemies.
"Oh, I'll have to ask her about this." When it came to the Zhongyi Palace, Mrs. Wang was also very upset.
If it really came to the point where the Zhongyi Mansion came to propose marriage, things would not be easy to handle, but her nephew is still not in a hurry.
Wang Muci sat aside, drinking tea slowly, while listening to Mrs. Wang and Xue Zhen gossiping.
Xue Zhen also mentioned that someone at today's incense party molested a woman from a good family and was saved by a son.
"There is such a thing!" When Mrs. Wang heard this, she frowned slightly. "People are getting bolder and bolder these days! Speaking of which, I wonder if the messenger of the Lord who assassinated you that day has been found. ”
"I heard the third brother say it in a trance, but I don't know exactly what happened. This matter has always been supervised by the third brother, and I didn't interfere. Wang Muci put down the cup, and a shadow flashed on his face.
He heard Wang Chaofu say that the person who was locked up in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion was rescued by his accomplices Li Yingwai, and there were also people from the other party in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion.
He said at the time that he had known that Jingzhao Mansion was so disadvantageous, so it was better to hand over the matter to the Criminal Department.
Wang Chaofu hooked his lips, and it was still the kind of smile that was colder than not smiling.
"Maybe there are assassins in the Criminal Department!"
"So what's next?"
"What can I do, I have ordered someone to draw a portrait to chase this person, as for whether I can get it, it depends on the ability of those people." Wang Chaofu was faint and didn't seem to be in a hurry about this matter.
Wang Muci really can't see through his third brother's temperament, he looks cold, and he doesn't blink his eyes when he kills enemies, but for some things, he is slow, and he is anxious when he looks at it.
For example, the mastermind behind the assassination was investigated.
For example, I like Xue Rong.
The former is okay, even if you can't find the mastermind behind the scenes, there may not be a second time, and even if there is, it won't be so fast. It won't be now, when people here are guarding against it everywhere, or maybe they won't use the same method at all.
Unless the Lord makes a man foolish!
But Xue Rong, if Wang Chaofu doesn't hurry up, I'm afraid that the cousin will be someone else!
Didn't you look at the prince of the Loyal and Righteous Palace, who was eyeing him?
"Alas, if the person behind this scene is not caught, it will not be able to make people feel at ease for a day." Madame Wang sighed.
"Aunt doesn't have to worry about this matter, send more people to take precautions, that's it." Wang Muci smiled.
Madame Wang nodded. After all, he came from the Wuhou family, and he was not so afraid of these things.
"Madam, the fourth girl has arrived." The little girl walked in.
Mrs. Wang frowned slightly. Although she was born, every time she saw Xue Yun, she still felt a little awkward in her heart, it was the kind of indescribable taste, a little disgusted, but also a little guilty.
After only a while, Xue Hui also arrived, although her face was reluctant and she came late, but she finally knew that when she came back from outside, she had to go to her mother's side.
didn't see Xue Rong, Xue Hui pouted, and wanted to say sarcastic, but swallowed it back.
Xue Hao was slightly strange.
Putting aside the usual, Xue Rong had already come over, definitely before Xue Hui. Don't look at Xue Rong's competitive and stubborn temperament, but he is still very willing to be close to his wife.
Although Xue Zhen was strange, she was not in a hurry, because she was not in a hurry when she saw her mother. What's more, now that her mind has changed, she once thought about letting her second cousin replace her third cousin to do this, but now looking at the appearance of her second cousin, she doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
Xue Rong counted the time, and after a while, he came to Mrs. Wang's side.
When Wang Muci saw Xue Rong, his eyes lit up and he didn't speak.
Xue Rong gave Mrs. Wang a salute, so he didn't say a word and sat down in his place. Almost as soon as he sat down, Xue Zhiting returned.
Xue Zhiting didn't often go to Mrs. Wang's side, sometimes he came, and he didn't go to see Xue Yuheng and leave, but today, Mrs. Wang ordered someone to pass the word early, saying that the cousin of the Jian'an Hou Mansion came to see his uncle, and Xue Zhiting came back, so he went directly to the main room, and as soon as he came, he sent Wang Muci to the study.
Xue Rong stood there, watching Wang Muci follow Xue Zhiting out, and squinted his eyes slightly.
She seems to be ...... Something was overlooked.
