Entering the mansion, a young man walked over, Nian Yingxi didn't take it to heart, but the man nodded respectfully towards Nian Yingxi, "Second Miss." ”

Nian Yingxi was stunned for a moment, and then when the man passed by, she smelled a very familiar smell, looked sideways at the man's distant back, and asked in a low voice, "Qianqian, who is this man?" ”

"This person's name is Wang Shengzi, he is the distant cousin of the second lady, and now he is the bookkeeper in our house, don't look at it as a relative of the second lady, he is very enthusiastic, and he has no frame at all." Qianqian said, her eyes showing softness.

Qianqian's words made Nian Yingxi want to laugh, how can a person's good or bad be seen by looking at the surface? Snorted again, Nian Yingxi hooked the corners of her lips, she didn't believe that a man who was full of the smell of other people's wives would be a good person.

……

Fukume-in.

An Zhimei had just cleaned herself up, and she heard the news from her subordinates, saying that Nian Gengrong was walking towards her yard with Nian Yingchun, An Zhimei didn't expect Nian Gengrong to come back and actually arrived in her yard first, overjoyed, and hurriedly walked out of the house and took her subordinates to greet her in the yard.

She thought that Nian Gengrong came over in such a hurry to praise her for doing a good job, but as soon as Gengrong entered the courtyard back then, An Zhimei felt that things might not be so simple, if Nian Gengrong really came to praise herself, then how could the anger on his face be explained?

Restraining her thoughts, An Zhimei stepped forward with a smile, "The master came back early today, are you tired?" As he spoke, he turned his head sideways and beckoned to the maid beside him, "Liu'er, hurry up and prepare tea for the master." ”

"Humph!" Nian Gengrong glanced at An Zhimei coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked up the steps and walked into the house.

Nian Yingchun, who was following Nian Gengrong, pulled down An Zhimei's sleeve, winked at An Zhimei, and signaled An Zhimei to be careful. Don't come in yet! ”

An Zhimei was stunned, pulled Nian Yingchun's cold palm, and walked in with a smiling face, "What's wrong with the master?" Why is it so angry as soon as you come back? ”

Nian Gengrong thought about Nian Yingxi's dress today, and then looked at the good fabric on An Zhimei's body, the anger didn't come out, how can I say that Nian Yingxi is also his daughter, her face sank, and her voice fell, "Is this how you usually take care of the backyard?" Today, Xiaoxi is on a blind date, how can you make her swagger through the market like a begging for food? It's good that my mother didn't see it, otherwise how would you explain it? ”

An Zhimei was stunned when asked, she obviously sent someone over to dress up Nian Yingxi today? Glancing sideways at Nian Yingchun, who hung her head, An Zhimei closed her eyes in frustration, it seemed that her daughter must be the one who was the obstacle.

"Master, I really have to explain, but it's ...... Woo woo woo ....... An Zhimei said, lowering her eyes and wringing the handkerchief in her hand, and actually cried, "It's all because I don't have much power in this backyard that I let such a slave dare ignore my explanation, and I also lost people to the master, woo woo woo ......"

An Zhimei cried while carefully looking at Nian Gengrong's face, she has always been cautious, and has been carefully serving Nian Gengrong, otherwise she would not have the favor she has now.

Today, Nian Gengrong said that he came to Xingshi to ask about the crime, but in fact, she could still hear that he was facing herself, otherwise why would he come by himself? How easy is it to directly hand over this matter to Wang Wanxiu to deal with?

Nian Gengrong was silent, he just came today to give An Zhimei a wake-up call, and now seeing An Zhimei's pitiful appearance, and then thinking that the backyard of this Nian Mansion has always been his mother pressing her, his face couldn't help but ease.

"Master, Master Sima is here, saying that he has something important to negotiate with the master." A small interjection at the door interrupted the somewhat dreary atmosphere in the room.

Nian Gengrong walked in front of An Zhimei, patted her shoulder gently, and softened her tone, "I have taken a step in advance, don't take today's things too seriously, rest early, I will feel distressed if I cry my eyes." ”

An Zhimei wiped her tears, nodded, and reluctantly watched Nian Gengrong walk out of the house.

Nian Yingchun, who had not spoken, stared at her eyes in surprise, she didn't expect that her mother was just a few words, so she put this matter aside.

It wasn't until Nian Gengrong's figure disappeared outside the courtyard that An Zhimei turned her head to look at Nian Yingxi, "Tell me what's going on today?" At this moment, An Zhimei's eyebrows are cold, her eyes are fierce, where is there still a little grievance just now?

After being surprised, Nian Yingchun whispered everything that happened today to An Zhimei, afraid that An Zhimei would blame herself for today's events, and specially explained that she didn't see the two old women when she went.

After listening to Nian Yingchun's words, An Zhimei's heart became suspicious, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Liu are people in her yard, and they will never fail to do things for her, and they don't have the courage to do it, but now they not only failed to do it, but they haven't come back until now, this matter may not be so simple.

"Mother, do you think the matter of those two old women has anything to do with Nian Yingxi?"

An Zhimei's eyes lit up, and she took her hand and cautiously lowered her voice, "Don't make a noise until this matter is investigated." Naturally, she won't tell Nian Yingchun what she is worried about, if something happens to these two old women in Nian Yingxi, it's okay to say, if Wang Wanxiu gets rid of these two old women with Nian Yingxi's hand, she will have to eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, after all, she doesn't have the strength to oppose Wang Wanxiu now.

"Mother, then forget it? You don't know that Nian Yingxi, that fool, told me that she wasn't stupid today! Nian Yingchun remembered that Nian Yingxi was everywhere today, and she couldn't wait to strangle Nian Yingxi now, she was really angry! In her own heart, no matter what virtue Nian Ying likes, she will never be able to stand with her!

"What does Chun'er mean, is Nian Yingxi telling you that she is not stupid?" clenched Nian Yingchun's hand, and her eyes showed the ruthlessness of revenge, even if her daughter was incompetent, she couldn't be bullied by others, and she was still counting on her daughter to marry a wishful husband, so that she could follow the wealth and glory.

Seeing the ruthlessness in An Zhimei's eyes, Nian Yingchun pretended to be pitiful and added fuel to the fire, "Mother, that fool not only said that she was not stupid, but also said that her mother and I were big fools. ”

Nian Yingchun's words reminded An Zhimei of her life in the Nian family for so many years watching Wang Wanxiu's face, if it weren't for the ghost of Nian Yingxi's mother in front of her, Wang Wanxiu would not stop Nian Gengrong and not straighten her out of the position of side wife.

The corner of her eyes fell on the silver lotus ear soup on the table, An Zhimei had a flash of inspiration, hooked the corners of her lips, and whispered in a whisper with Nian Yingchun, "Chun'er, we will be like this tomorrow...... It's ...... like this."

The more Nian Yingchun listened, the happier she became, and in the end, she actually laughed, or her mother had a way, she really couldn't wait until tomorrow, because she wanted to kill that waste directly, no one knew how much she wanted to rush up and tear that slut.

Her daughter was happy, An Zhimei's mood was also a lot better, she looked at the bowl of soup on the table again proudly, her eyes became more and more cold, she didn't care whether this current Nian Yingxi was really crazy or stupid, everyone who was against her would not end well, tomorrow she wanted to see who could stand up straight in this backyard!

……

The morning sun breaks through the clouds, bringing a hint of warmth to the cold air.

Although it was just the end of the day, the kitchen of the deputy capital was already full of smoke owls, and the huge kitchen was busy, picking vegetables and burning fires.

Qianqian stood at the door early in the morning with a small plate, just to help Nian Yingxi get back a few hot heads.

Because Nian Gengrong had already let go of the words, Nian Yingxi was not allowed to eat with everyone in the front hall, so it became Qianqian's task to come over to pick up food every morning.

"Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be Qianqian!" Listening to the unkind tone, Qianqian, who was standing at the door, turned around, and it was the little maid in Nian Yingchun's room who spoke.

With the support of Nian Yingchun, this girl has long been lawless and arrogant in the vice-capital mansion, Qianqian smiled at Rushui, and continued to twist back and wait for the steamed buns in the kitchen, and did not want to communicate too much with Rushui.

However, Rushui didn't plan to let Qianqian go like this, she didn't like Qianqian a long time ago, the reason is very simple, which of the maids in this house didn't nod when they saw her, and this Qianqian always ignored her with love.

The two of them just stood one after the other, and after a while, an old woman came out of the kitchen, "Qianqian girl, this is the steamed bun and porridge you want." ”

Qianqian looked at the steaming head on the plate and was about to bring it over, but was suddenly stopped by an arm, and the sudden extra arm not only made Qianqian stunned, but also surprised the old woman in the kitchen, raised her eyes to see that it was Rushui in Nian Yingchun's room, and hurriedly smiled, "Rushui girl." ”

Rushui looked at the steamed buns and porridge on the plate with cold eyes, and snorted, "Our house has always been orderly, but now that the master has not gone down to the court, why did he give the steamed buns to the second lady first?" ”

Qianqian knew that this Rushui was here to find trouble, and her heart was awkward, but she still had to soften her tone with a little flattery, "It's like this every morning, and the main dish of the lord and the young lady hasn't moved, I'm just here to get the white porridge and steamed buns." ”

When Rushui heard this, he sneered, "Oh, I forgot, the master once explained that you can't let a fool into the front hall." ”

Qianqian was stunned by the word fool, and her heart suddenly hurt fiercely, and her hands holding the tray held the tray tightly, gritted her teeth and bowed her head, and stopped talking.

Rushui naturally saw Qianqian's reaction, thinking that she was just a protector, so she mocked again, "What? Stupid, you're not happy anymore? Qianqian, the facts are the facts, even if no one says anything about your young lady, she can't change the fact that she is a fool! ”

The old woman stood at the door and watched this scene, although she felt some sympathy for Qianqian, but when she thought of her usual rampant and domineering, her sympathy was suppressed by fear, put the steamed bun at the door, and turned around to close the wooden door of the kitchen.
