Bai Mujian put down the book in his hand, hurriedly greeted him, and was about to salute when he saw Mu Xinping, Mu Xinping hurriedly helped her up and said, "Jin'er, we don't need these false courtesies!" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus didn't insist, stood up straight, and asked with a smile, "Why did Erniang have time to come to see me in Jinlan Garden today?" Jin'er is idle and a little bored, come in and sit! ”

Mu Xinping let her take her hand, walked into the room, sat down unceremoniously, and first pretended to look at Bai Hibiscus's room.

Bai Mu Hibiscus asked the mandarin duck to serve tea, and said enthusiastically: "Erniang, the weather is cold, you drink some tea to warm up your body!" ”

Mu Xinping took it with a smile, took a sip, put it down, and sighed again, looking very annoyed, but she didn't take the initiative to speak.

Bai Mujian didn't pierce it, only picked up the embroidery on the side, handed it to Mu Xinping, and said as if offering a treasure: "Erniang, take a look, the peony embroidered by Jin'er must have made progress before?" ”

Mu Xinping took it, but she didn't bother to look at it carefully, she only glanced at it cursoly, and said with a stiff smile: "Yes...... Nice, hey......"

Another dull sigh, Bai Mujian smiled secretly in her heart, Mu Xinping was still waiting for herself to ask, if she continued to pretend, I don't know how she would respond?

Bai Mujin happily took back the embroidery, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully before putting it aside, and then suddenly asked in surprise: "Erniang, what is wrong with you?" Why is your face so ugly? ”

Mu Xinping was a little comforted when she saw that she finally noticed her emotions, but she still pretended to be fine, frowned and said, "It's nothing, probably I haven't rested well, I'm just a little dizzy!" ”

Seeing that she was going to continue pretending, Bai Mujin couldn't say it directly, so she could only say with concern: "Since it's uncomfortable, then you should ask the doctor to come and take a look, Xue'er, how do you take care of Erniang, hey......"

Xue'er was blamed for no reason, so she could only pouted and defended: "Miss, the slave also advised the second lady to rest well, but she has something hidden in her heart, how can she rest well!" ”

When Bai Mujin heard this, he hurriedly looked at Mu Xinping nervously and said, "Erniang, what happened?" Is someone angry with you? ”

Mu Xinping shook her head, but her eyes were red, she sniffed, and said, "Where someone makes me angry, even if there is, then I should bear it!" ”

"If you say that, someone must have made you unhappy, no, let's tell our grandmother to go and let her call the shots for you! It's not good to find your father to call the shots, but your father loves Erniang the most! Bai Mu Hibiscus said with a huff.

Mu Xinping hurriedly grabbed her, glanced at her resentfully, and said, "Why are you so impulsive?" Ay...... Now that people have a backer, shouldn't I be a little angry? The old lady and grandfather also have to give her three points, not to mention me, a helpless person! ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus seemed to understand, and said: "So that's the case, no wonder Erniang is so upset!" It's just that now it's a helpless thing, the second uncle is soaring, she naturally follows the rising tide, and now that the limelight is in the limelight, you and I have to be more patient, and we don't have to fight with her for this moment! ”

"Jin'er, I don't want to fight with her for a while, I'm just a little snubbed at most! It's just that...... Do you know that the second lady is going to return home in a few days, and you have worked hard to manage the good situation for so long, but it will fall short! Mu Xinping seemed to be very uneven, and looked at Bai Hibiscus with a worried face, as if she was thinking about her.

Bai Mujin patted her hand, and then said indifferently: "Erniang, Xi'er is still my sister after all, and she can't stay in the family temple for the rest of her life, she has to come back sooner or later, what's the fuss?" ”

Mu Xinping didn't expect Bai Mu Hibiscus to be so calm, and looked at her suspiciously, thinking that it couldn't be a pretentious gesture, right? She saw how Bai Muhibiscus planned to send Bai Yunxi to the family temple, how could she let Bai Yunxi return home so easily?

It shouldn't, absolutely not! Mu Xinping said unrelentingly: "Jin'er, what else do you have to avoid with me?" I know your grievances, if the second lady is here, and now that the Lu family is infinitely beautiful, I am afraid that you will be suppressed by them everywhere in the future, will you suffer less grievances in the hands of their mother and third son? ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled slightly, took another sip of tea, and said slowly: "Erniang, you don't have to worry about Jin'er's affairs, it's just my life, no wonder others!" ”

Mu Xinping said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "Jin'er, when did you become so unproductive?" Is it up to them to make a comeback, and then come to harm you and Chen'er? You are the most noble eldest son and eldest daughter in the mansion, but once the Lu family recovers, the second young lady and the second young master will naturally have to take away the attention of the grandfather and the old lady again, and sooner or later you will be dragged down by them, and then this Ningguo Mansion will not even have a foothold! ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled bitterly, as if he was helpless, and said, "Then what is the way?" Now that she is relying on her mother's brother to gain power again, I am not her opponent, it is better to clamp her tail and be a man, it is better to go over and touch the stone with an egg! ”

If you want to provoke her to go-for-tat with the Lu family, you can't help but underestimate her Bai Hibiscus, right? If she touches Lu's moldy head at this time, she will be a fool!

Mu Xinping continued to persuade bitterly: "Naturally, you can't do it alone, but now that you still have me and the old lady, I don't believe that we can't fight the Lu family alone, and ...... I heard that the old lady of the Lu family and Prime Minister Lu Cheng love you very much, this is your biggest reliance, no worse than the Lu family! ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus shook his head and said, "Erniang, Jin'er is not so impertinent. My grandfather and grandmother love me, but they will never help me deal with my mother, after all, she is also my grandfather's own daughter, I am still separated by a layer, as for the old lady, she also has to think about the Ningguo Mansion, the promotion of the second uncle is only good for the Ningguo Mansion, there is no harm to the Ningguo Mansion, she will not help us deal with our mother now! ”

After saying this, even Mu Xinping drooped her head in frustration. If you think about it carefully, it is also such a reason, after all, the Lu family is the daughter of Lu Xiang, and now that Lu Zhaoan has been promoted and made a fortune, she will only have a higher and higher status. As for Old Madam Bai, she couldn't count on it, otherwise she wouldn't have echoed Lu's words everywhere today, and she didn't care when she saw that she was being snubbed.

Thinking like this, Mu Xinping's face collapsed even more, and said, "Jin'er, do you just look at her so proud?" We really can't do anything about it? ”

Bai Mujin saw her like this, and knew that she had no idea, so she patted her hand lightly and persuaded: "Erniang, what do you have to worry about?" Now you are still the second lady of the Ningguo Mansion, and your father still has affection for you, as long as you firmly tie your father's heart, no matter how proud the Lu family is, what can you do? ”

Mu Xinping frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "But...... She is so beautiful, even my grandfather rests with her every day, how can I grasp my grandfather's heart? He didn't even enter the door of the Bishui Pavilion now! ”

"Huh...... The mountain is not just me, I am the mountain, has Erniang even forgotten such a simple truth? Do you still remember how you stepped up to the position of the wife of the Ningguo Mansion? Bai Hibiscus smiled meaningfully.

Mu Xinping suddenly realized, how could she sit in the position of the Duchess and forget her original ability? Men, in the final analysis, still like young and gentle, beautiful and moving women, although the Lu family still has charm, but in the end, he is old, and when it comes to talent, he can't compare with himself, Bai Shizu just looks at her mother's sake, giving her a little more face.

With her beauty and talent, how could she lose to the Lu family, who is already a flower of tomorrow? Thinking of this, Mu Xinping's eyes had a confident brilliance again, and she finally showed a long-lost smile and said, "Jin'er, you can still see it thoroughly, I'm so anxious, but I'm confused!" ”

"Erniang is not confused, Erniang is just messing with herself!" Bai Mu Hibiscus laughed.

Mu Xinping couldn't stop nodding, and her admiration for Bai Hibiscus went up to a new level, at a young age, she could be so unhurried and impatient, but it was not something that ordinary people could do.

Mu Xinping sat for a while, then got up and said goodbye, "I have to go back to make a bowl of ginseng soup, your father is busy with official business, but you have to pay attention to taking care of your body at any time!" ”

Bai Mujian didn't keep her, only nodded and said: "Erniang is really careful and thoughtful, my father has a wife like this, what more can my husband ask for?" ”

The two smiled heartily, and Mu Xinping took Xue'er out of Jinlan Garden and walked towards Bishui Pavilion.

Bai Mu Hibiscus saw her leave, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared at the corner of her mouth, Mama Rui saw it, and only smiled and said: "Master, your trick is really good!" ”

Bai Muhibiscus smiled, and then said: "I'm not all shirking, Mu Xinping wants to gain a foothold in the mansion, she can only rely on her father's favor, if she can't even do this, then it is really blind that I have sought the position of equal wife for her!" ”

Mama Rui nodded and said, "But the slave maid sees that this Mu girl is not a peaceful person, so she thinks about sowing discord at this time, and is afraid that she will ...... in the future."

After saying that, Bai Muhibiscus naturally understood, shook his head, and said calmly: "It's okay, if she is too peaceful, how can she be the opponent of the Lu family?" Only by being restless can we fight and lose both! ”

Rui Mama nodded, if you want to see the snipe and clam fighting, you must be a brave fisherman, and if you don't find an opponent for the enemy, how can you watch a good show!

The words were divided into two ends, and as soon as Mu Xinping returned to Bishui Pavilion, she suddenly realized that her original purpose seemed to be silently resolved by Bai Hibiscus.

She was a little annoyed, thinking that the little girl obviously didn't say anything, why did she bypass her so easily? But after thinking about it, I felt that it was not a big deal, and Bai Hibiscus at least had a right sentence. Grasping Bai Shizu's heart is the most important thing.

So I hurriedly ordered the small kitchen to eat ginseng soup, the mountain is not just me and I am the mountain, Bai Shizu does not take the initiative to come to Bishui Pavilion, can he not let himself go to him?

Thinking that when she was not married, she also often went in and out of Bai Shizu's study, and the two also established a deep relationship there, and now she continues to be a little low, serving him comfortably, can that man's heart still be iron?
