Chapter 40: Dangerous Moves

Mama Rui gave Bai Hibiscus a reassuring smile, of course she would not be stupid enough to harm her master with poison.

Bai Muhibiscus nodded, it was really a good thing, she put it here, and sent it to Bai Yunxi, naturally it would not arouse suspicion, if something happened to her, she didn't know anything.

"Then send someone to send it, by the way, I have a copy in this house, so as not to say that I am not sincere as a sister!" Bai Hibiscus said idly, with a soft smile on his face.

Mama Rui nodded, smiled silently, she is now more and more satisfied with Bai Hibiscus's performance, this little girl is an amazing character, she has such a city at a young age, and she is very human.

Bai Mu Hibiscus pondered for a moment, and then said: "The few maids I left behind, Mama help me pay attention to them, there should be a secret chess buried by the Lu family in them!" ”

Mama Rui frowned slightly, and said, "Miss is to keep them and lower the Lu family's vigilance?" ”

"Not all, these people will help a lot if they take advantage of it, don't you say?" Bai Hibiscus asked with a smile, a sparkle in his eyes.

Mama Rui wondered in her heart, it seems that she still underestimated Bai Mujian's scheming, generally people who dare to use enemies are people with absolute self-confidence, she should be confident, and dare to make dangerous moves.

"The old slave will pay attention and never let them take advantage of it!" Mama Rui said solemnly.

The corners of Bai Mujian's mouth turned up, shook his head, and said, "Mama is wrong again, the opportunity that should be given must be given, otherwise how can they explain it to their master?" ”

Moreover, if they didn't have a chance to do it, how could she drag Lu and her two sons and daughters into the water step by step, and then put them to death.

Mama Rui nodded and said, "What Miss said is reasonable!" ”

She suddenly felt that if this woman entered the harem, then the fierce competition for the rear position would end soon, such a woman was too terrible, obviously so deep hatred, but she could endure it quietly, and then continue to tease her enemies, like playing with mice, teasing those enemies who thought they were smart and applauding.

Even the pretentious old lady Bai was gradually led by her nose, and she was acting in the direction of her calculations step by step, she knew the human heart and human nature too well, so everyone in this mansion couldn't escape this girl's calculations.

sighed slightly, what kind of things have happened to make a little girl who is only thirteen years old become so scheming and calculating?

After several failures, the Lu family stopped, but this kind of silence made Bai Mu Hibiscus more cautious, because she knew Lu Shi's temperament too well, this is a very patient opponent, she can endure in the Xiangfu for more than ten years, please her mother and sister, in order to hit at the last moment.

The more she doesn't move, the more vicious her next actions will be, Lu is very smart, she will never fight with her again.

Old Madam Bai's movements were also very fast, and before a month, the cousin Mu Xinping entered the Ningguo Mansion with an old mother and a little girl.

Old Madam Bai also deliberately called herself over when she came, saying that she wanted to introduce her to know, to put it bluntly, it was to explore Bai Hibiscus's tone, after all, now Bai Hibiscus has some weight in the heart of Old Madam Bai, and the old lady doesn't want to make Bai Hibiscus feel bad because of helping Bai Shizu take a concubine.

Bai Mujin entered the door, and as soon as he saw this gentle and touching little jasper, he immediately saluted with a smile on his face, and shouted obediently: "Aunt cousin! ”

In fact, Mu Xinping was only eighteen years old, and she was called aunt by such a young lady who was not much younger than herself, and she was really embarrassed to blush, but she turned sideways very sensibly, without the full salute of thin white hibiscus, and said with a docile expression: "The eldest lady is polite, I'm embarrassed to call me!" ”

Bai Mujin glanced at Old Madam Bai, and then said, "Where is my cousin, you are your grandmother's niece, and you should have received a gift from me." In the future, I can also have more companions in the house, my grandmother mentioned you to me before you came, saying that you are excellent at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my aunt can teach me more in the future! ”

Mu Xinping was naturally happy when she heard this, and the smile on her face became cheerful, and Old Madam Bai was very satisfied with Bai Muhibiscus's attitude, and did not look down on her because Mu Xinping's family background was not high, but was courteous.

Mu Xinping smiled skillfully, her face flushed slightly, and said: "The eldest lady praised it falsely, my aunt's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are the best, and if I want to be taught by my aunt, the eldest lady should also be very good!" ”

"Don't call me the eldest lady and the eldest lady, just call me Jin'er like my grandmother, we are all a family, you don't need to see outside, grandmother, you say yes?" Bai Mu Hibiscus is innocent and well-behaved.

Old Madam Bai naturally liked it, and said with a smile: "Jin'er is reasonable, we will be a family in the future, Xinping, you should treat this as your own home, no need to be restrained!" ”

Mu Xinping suddenly had a good impression of Bai Muhibiscus, and felt that such a small relative who came to join alone was so close to the eldest lady of the Ningguo Mansion, and she didn't mean to despise her at all.

As soon as she saw Mu Xinping, Lu's face became quite ugly, but in the face of Old Madam Bai, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

Lu's forced smile looked a little distorted, and after saluting the old lady, he looked at Mu Xinping and said: "This is Miss Biao, she is really a Peugeot person, even I like it, the road is bumpy, it must be very hard, right?" ”

Mu Xinping also quietly looked at the Lu family, seeing that although she was not young, she was still beautiful, and she felt a little inferior in her heart, the Lu family was dressed in gorgeous clothes and full of pearls, and she looked a lot shabby, and the only valuable thing on her body was a pair of jade bracelets.

Mu Xinping smiled shyly and replied, "Cousin-in-law is polite!" ”

"It's the first time Miss Biao has come to the capital, right? That's a few more days to stay, let Jin'er and Xi'er accompany you around, the capital is a prosperous place, it's not easy to come to a trip, you must see enough to have enough fun to make this trip worthwhile! Lu smiled and said very enthusiastically.

But as soon as these words came out, Mu Xinping and Old Madam Bai's faces froze, and Old Madam Bai's face was even more frosty, but before Old Madam Bai could speak, Bai Yunxi also interjected and said: "Mother is right, Aunt Cousin, Ming'er, I will take you to the most famous Tianyi Pavilion in the capital for a meal, the wine and food there have even been praised by the emperor, and ordinary people from small families can't even enter the door!" ”

When Mu Xinping heard this, she couldn't pretend that she didn't understand anymore, her eyes were red, and she secretly said in her heart, the lady of a wealthy family looked down on people like this, she was from a humble background, but she was also a guest of the old lady, and they embarrassed her in person.

Old Madam Bai was about to have a seizure, but Bai Mujian stood up, took Mu Xinping's hand, quietly comforted her, and then said: "Mother, sister, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, my cousin didn't come to the house this time as a guest, she won't leave when she comes, as for what Tianyi Pavilion is, it's just a restaurant that was praised by some rich businessmen, and the real nobles don't bother to eat in it, so don't go!" ”

Lu and Bai Yunxi were dumbfounded by her, and they wanted to deliberately give Mu Xinping a dismissal, but they didn't expect Bai Mujian to help this woman speak.

Bai Yunxi immediately retorted: "Who said that Tianyi Pavilion was brought out by a rich businessman, I heard that it was King Xuan's industry, and the eldest sister is really lonely!" ”

"Oh? My sister is so well-informed, didn't King Xuan tell you personally? Bai Hibiscus asked curiously.

Bai Yunxi glanced at her with disdain, and said: "You know to stay at home every day, naturally you don't know anything, although King Xuan has not admitted it, but it is spread like this in the market!" ”

Bai Muhibiscus nodded, and said with some disapproval: "Sister, we are the young ladies of the Guogong Mansion, don't spread hearsay and gossip all day long, King Xuan himself refuses to admit things, don't care whether it's true or not, it's also his private matter, and the rest of the people are afraid that they will make him unhappy and lose their identity again!" ”

When Old Madam Bai heard this, she also glared at Bai Yunxi, and said, "I really don't understand the rules at all, and you can talk about the affairs of the nobles casually?" If it affects the Ningguo Mansion, can you afford it? In the future, run less and learn more rules, and lose the face of the Guogong Mansion! ”

When Bai Yunxi heard that Old Madam Bai actually blamed her, she was unhappy, and her face was also ugly, and she retorted: "How can a noble girl of a family have a door like her sister, that is the spirit of a small family!" ”

Old Madam Bai already saw her mother and daughter as an eyesore, and the words that mocked Mu Xinping just now annoyed her even more, and now Bai Yunxi actually contradicted her without knowing whether she was alive or dead, which made Old Madam Bai, who had always paid attention to respect and humility, suddenly angry, and reprimanded: "Do you still have elders and young in your eyes?" not only choreographed my sister, but also contradicted me, who taught you the rules, which noble girl has such a style? It seems that the last time you grounded your foot didn't let you learn to behave! ”

As soon as Lu Shi heard that the head was wrong, he immediately came out to play a round and said: "Don't be angry, the old lady is still a child's temper, I can't take it seriously, I will definitely teach her well when I go back!" ”

"Let you teach? Hmph, I'm afraid it will get worse and worse the more you teach! Old Madam Bai glanced at the Lu family with disdain, a woman who hooked up with her brother-in-law before she got married, and she was embarrassed to teach others the rules, she was not disgusting.

Lu's face changed when he was said, and his ears turned red, but he took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to get angry, this is her mother-in-law in front of her after all, even if there is a big resentment, she has to endure it, otherwise a charge of unfilial piety and disobedience can beat her back to her original form.

Lu bit the tip of his tongue, let the pain recall his senses, and said: "The old lady said that I am also the daughter of the Lu family, and my mother has also invited my grandmother to teach etiquette since I was a child, how can I teach my daughter badly!" ”

When Old Madam Bai heard this, she sneered and said, "That's really good teaching, I don't know if Old Madam Lu knows that she taught you such a good 'daughter'?" ”

Bai Mujian listened to it and wanted to laugh, Old Madam Bai made it clear today that she wanted to give the Lu family no face, and she was so critical of her in front of this cousin, it seemed that she had the intention to let Mu Xinping take the position.

She looked at Mu Xinping carefully, she looked like a gentle and obedient look, much easier to handle than the Lu family, if she was favored, then the old lady Bai could firmly control the power of the Bai family, this grandmother is indeed a calculating person.

It seems that there is a wonderful scene to watch, which is not bad, sometimes you don't need to do it yourself, you can make Lu and Bai Yunxi deflated, and she is also happy.

Lu Shi listened to Mrs. Bai's words, her face was blue and white for a while, but she could only endure it stubbornly, almost suffocating to the point of internal injury, she counted the account on Mu Xinping's head again, and thought to herself, even if she wants to come in to be an aunt, it depends on her face, and then she has a way to toss her!
