The dark clouds blocked the light of the moon, and a dim halo emanated like a lifeless disk, and the whole earth fell asleep, in a state of silence.

At this time, the discussion in a house in the backyard gradually came out.

"Miss, what do you mean by the eldest young master giving that peasant girl to the old lady?" Mei Xiang crawled on the table with her head down, boredly playing with a brown teacup, and asked such a sentence coldly.

Su Mengyao shook her head in confusion, this was also a question she couldn't figure out. It stands to reason that today is my grandmother's birthday, even if my grandmother repeatedly emphasized that she should not be extravagant and wasteful, even if she just gathered the family for a meal, but the peasant girl was an outsider after all, and in any way, it was not her turn to participate in this kind of occasion. However, in fact, she participated in another capacity~ She became a gift from her cousin to her grandmother?

This reason seems ridiculous, but it is also reasonable, and it took a lot of thought for my cousin to think about it. What is unthinkable is that my cousin unceremoniously said nothing to my aunt who had been opposed to it for the sake of that peasant girl? And the uncle's expression at that time was also very strange, as if he knew the peasant girl, and looked at him as if he did not object to the peasant girl staying with his grandmother. What is even more strange is that her grandmother actually said in front of so many people that she liked the gift given to her by her cousin, which is tantamount to saying that she likes the peasant girl.

Today's birthday banquet is like eating a homely meal, plain and ordinary, and there is nothing outstanding at all. To say that it is worth mentioning is the second cousin and the second aunt to give the grandmother the "Pearl Guanyin map", although I went late, but also saw the "Pearl Guanyin map", it looks like a big deal, although it is not a priceless treasure, but it is indeed worth a lot of money, presumably the second aunt is bothered to think about it.

It's just that Su Mengyao doesn't understand why the second aunt, who is so careful and careful, would be so generous at her grandmother's birthday banquet and give a pair of such a precious "Pearl Guanyin Picture"? also made her grandmother praise her and her second cousin throughout the banquet. This has never happened in previous years, isn't it that the second aunt is stupid and learned to shoot his grandmother's ass?

and the appearance of the peasant girl, Su Mengyao always felt that there must be some "conspiracy" where the peasant girl appeared, this was originally a family banquet, and the cousin pushed away all the partners who intended to lend it to her grandmother for her birthday with the intention of settling with the Long family, but she got the peasant girl out. If her cousin didn't have other thoughts, Su Mengyao couldn't believe it, she grew up with her cousin since she was a child, so she naturally knew her cousin, and her cousin never did meaningless things. It's just that now, I can't guess my cousin's thoughts!

Mei Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and a faint smile appeared on her palm-sized little face, and she said, "Miss! We can think about it this way, the eldest young master will never be as simple as giving that peasant girl to the eldest young master as a gift! Hypothesis...... The slave is saying hypothetical, miss, don't take it seriously! Mei Xiang was afraid that her young lady would misunderstand, so she explained anxiously, looking at Su Mengyao and nodding, Mei Xiang smiled, and dared to continue, "Suppose the eldest young master likes that peasant girl......"

"Mei Xiang, what did you say, you said that my cousin likes that peasant girl?" Mei Xiang's words were suddenly interrupted by Su Mengyao, who grabbed Mei Xiang's arm with an excited face and asked loudly.

Mei Xiang smiled bitterly, stared at Su Mengyao motionless with big round eyes, sighed, and said as if she was coquettish: "Oh, Miss, what the slave said is hypothetical, hypothetical, huh?" ”

Looking at Mei Xiang's sincere eyes, Su Mengyao slowly came to her senses, her nervous little face suddenly relaxed a lot, and raised an embarrassed smile: "Hypothesis, hehe, hypothesis?" ”

Mei Xiang sighed lightly, her heart was sour, and she felt very sorry for Miss. For the sake of the eldest young master, Miss is no longer a normal person, she has become nervous, she is going crazy. However, the eldest young master......

"Mei Xiang, you say, I promise not to interrupt what you say." Su Mengyao smiled, stretching out her index finger as if she was swearing.

Mei Xiang laughed out loud, and then continued: "Assuming that the eldest young master likes that peasant girl, wouldn't it be any good for him to put her where the old lady is?" Or what is his purpose? ”

Mei Xiang's words reminded Su Mengyao, and these four words kept wandering in her mind, "benefits"? "Purpose"! "Purpose", "benefit"?

Suddenly, Su Mengyao's eyes lit up as if she understood something, her face was shocked, and she said slowly: "My grandmother is kind by nature, and now she is devoted to Buddha, she has to look at the soles of her feet when she walks on weekdays, and she is reluctant to step on an ant to death, she can't see any fighting in the house." Although my grandmother no longer asks about anything in the house, as long as she speaks about the affairs of the house, no one will obey her uncle, aunt, second aunt, or cousin.

In this way, there is only one explanation for my cousin to put her in my grandmother's place, that is, to make her the grandmother's person, so that her status in the house is different, everyone knows that the slaves around the old lady are equivalent to half masters, and ordinary maids and servants don't dare to treat them at all? In this way, it was her cousin who found her a shelter barrier! Look, my cousin is really well-intentioned! ”

"Miss said that, it seems to make a lot of sense! But in this way, if Miss wants to deal with her in the future, she can ......" Mei Xiang frowned and wanted to stop talking, but what she meant, Su Mengyao understood.

It seems that my cousin still hasn't let go of the previous thing, although he didn't say anything in front of him, but what he did was guarding himself all the time. This Dragon Mansion is really still the head of the family surnamed Long, after all, he is an outsider compared to them, and now his cousin has moved the old lady out for the sake of that peasant girl, and I am afraid that my life will not be good in the future.

Xiwei Temple

"Mother, don't you think today's events are strange?" Long Tianwei sat on the chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked suspiciously.

"Wei'er refers to the matter where the dragon scales fly to give gifts?" A trace of indifference swept over his plump and fair face, Xu Zhiling raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.

"My mother is really smart!" Long Tianwei slowly took a sip of tea, and did not hesitate to praise his mother, which is why he can get along with his mother.

Xu Zhiling glanced at his son and smiled disdainfully: "Even a fool can see that there must be something greasy in this, but it's a pity that Tian Xue's old woman is still in the dark, and she doesn't know that her son has a heart for a peasant girl?" ”

"What, my mother said that the eldest brother likes that peasant girl?" Long Tianwei was stunned, and looked at Xu Zhiling with wide eyes, what his mother said shocked him.

Xu Zhiling just wanted to speak, when he suddenly saw a middle-aged man walking in angrily, his face changed suddenly, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.
