Seeing that Mu Xinping was humiliated, Tourmaline naturally couldn't help but help, so she said without yin or yang: "Mama is too big, when will it be your turn to put your beak in the matter of the old lady?" Doesn't Mama feel that if she has face in front of her wife, she can intervene in the affairs of the whole house, and even manage the affairs of the master? ”

Mama Du's face was blue and white when she was said by tourmaline, but she didn't dare to refute, tourmaline was silent on weekdays, but she was an idea, and she had the trust of the old lady, and even the purple jade was not as good as her. Then he said curtly: "Don't dare, I just think that Miss Mu is a guest after all, how can you let the guest come to serve the grandfather, say it, people treat Miss Mu harshly as our family!" ”

Tourmaline sneered and said, "This doesn't bother Mama, since the girl has come to the house, she is her own family, and she is not a guest!" She is sympathetic to the old lady and the grandfather, but it is just a gesture, how can you say that the old lady treats the girl harshly? ”

"Mama is serious, I really feel embarrassed to say this, I am willing to share my aunt and cousin's worries, how can this little thing be regarded as harsh on me?" Mu Xinping also echoed at the right time.

Mama Du listened to her singing and harmonizing, so she put out the intention of arguing, and only hoped that Steward Luo could come out soon, so that she could invite her grandfather to Ningxiangyuan to see how they could send snacks!

It happened that Steward Luo came out, saw Mu Xinping first, and said with a smile: "Miss Cousin is here, but is there something?" ”

"It's not a big deal, my aunt asked me to bring some snacks to my cousin, I'm afraid that he will be hungry in the afternoon to deal with official business!" Mu Xinping smiled lightly at Steward Luo, her voice was soft, and the people who listened to it were comfortable.

Steward Luo has always known how to observe words and feelings, and this Mu Xinping is not the first time to come back to the study, looking at the attitude of the grandfather, he knows that he is interested in this cousin, and naturally he will not do such things that make the master unhappy, so he said: "It's just right, the master just said that he was a little hungry, Miss Cousin should send it in quickly!" ”

Mu Xinping smiled gratefully at Steward Luo, and was about to go in, when Mama Du saw this, she hurriedly asked, "Steward Luo, can you tell Grandpa?" ”

Seeing Mama Du's appearance, Steward Luo restrained the smile on her face, and said lukewarmly: "Mama Du go back, the master is busy, saying that he will visit Madame when the matter is dealt with, so that Madame can recuperate!" ”

Mama Du was annoyed by Steward Luo's different attitudes, Steward Luo's attitude naturally represented Bai Shizu's attitude, it seems that the grandfather is really annoyed with Madame, so he will avoid it, she can't break in, she can only hurry back and let the Lu family think of a way.

Mu Xinping saw Mama Du hurrying away, the corners of her mouth showed a slight smug smile, wanting to stop herself from approaching her cousin, and she didn't see if she had that ability, but fortunately, Bai Mujian reminded her today, so she came to the study before her cousin was invited away by Mama Du.

However, from this, she also knew that Bai Mu Hibiscus was exquisite, but as long as she was on her side, it would be beneficial and harmless, anyway, there was no conflict between herself and Bai Mu Hibiscus, and it was the Lu family that they had to fight together.

Mu Xinping entered the study, first obediently saluted Bai Shizu, and smiled softly: "Cousin, you should be hungry, the old lady asked me to bring you a snack, you can taste it!" ”

As soon as Bai Shizu saw Mu Xinping, he smiled, got up and took the food box in her hand, and said with a smile: "There is Cousin Lao, I am hungry, and you are here, it is really like timely rain!" ”

Mu Xinping lowered her head, slightly ashamed, Bai Shizu looked at her with burning eyes, so that she couldn't help but feel like a deer, I have to say that Bai Shizu is a beautiful man.

Bai Shizu saw her shy and timid, his heart was hot, and he hated to have to take her into his arms regardless of etiquette, but because the tourmaline was still on the side, and he was afraid that he would surprise the beauty, he endured this impulse, opened the food box, and ate a piece of almond crisp to divert his attention.

Mu Xinping saw that he was happy to eat, so she didn't bother, and looked at the furnishings in the study by herself, the paintings hanging on the wall attracted her attention, and she went over to admire it with great interest.

Seeing this, Bai Shizu asked, "My cousin also likes to paint?" ”

"Well, when I was at home in the past, my father also loved to collect paintings, but it was not as precious as my cousin here, the artistic conception of this painting is really beautiful, it can be said that there are poems in the paintings, there are paintings in the poems, rare masterpieces!" Mu Xinping praised sincerely.

When Bai Shizu heard this, the brilliance in his eyes was even greater, and he said in his heart that this cousin is really a beautiful woman who is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she has the same interests as herself, and it is really rare to know how to paint like this.

"If my cousin likes it, can I give you a few paintings another day?" Bai Shizu's gentle voice could almost squeeze out water.

Mu Xinping turned her head, looked at him with a smile, shook her head and said: "Thank you cousin for your kindness, but such a good painting must be worth a lot of money, how can I accept it casually, if my cousin is willing, let me appreciate one or two, Xinping is already satisfied!" ”

When Bai Shizu heard this, he felt that Mu Xinping was not greedy for vanity, and her character was noble, and his love for her went deeper into that heart from her appearance.

"Well, I have a lot of paintings here, if you want, come and see it when you have time, and you can look at it for as long as you want!" Bai Shizu looked at her and said stupidly.

Mu Xinping's face flushed when she saw this, and she couldn't help lowering her head, but she looked up at him with nostalgia, this time her little daughter's delicate state was vividly displayed, making Bai Shizu almost unable to help herself.

He raised his eyes to look at the tourmaline, and saw that she was standing on the side with her eyes and nose, and did not pay attention to it, and knew that Old Madam Bai did not object to her and Mu Xinping's matter, so she couldn't help but walk over and hold Mu Xinping's little hand.

Mu Xinping nervously retreated, looked at the tourmaline, and whispered: "Cousin......"

This kind of attitude of wanting to refuse and welcome made Bai Shizu itch for a while, at this time he really wanted to exchange everything for the heart of the beauty, he secretly made a decision, tonight to ask An to mention Mu Xinping's matter to his mother, although he can't marry her as a wife, but he can also give her the name of a side room, if he can give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, he will be promoted to a flat wife and will not wronged her.

Just thinking like this, he heard a commotion outside the door, and Lu's voice came in, with full arrogance: "Steward Luo, who gave you the courage to dare to block Mrs. Ben's way?" ”

Steward Luo seemed to be very embarrassed, and explained: "The master has explained, no one is allowed to disturb, Madame should wait first, and wait for the slave to pass it on!" ”

"Hmph, when I go to see my grandfather, do I still need someone to pass it on? When was this rule? I heard that someone was coming, so my grandfather invited me in directly, isn't it that I'm not even as an outsider? After listening to Mama Du's description of going back, Lu was about to get angry with a mouthful of old blood, and suddenly lost his mind, and ran out by himself, he must see Bai Shizu.

Steward Luo knew that Bai Shizu was talking to Mu Xinping now, if he was bumped into by his wife, he would naturally not have good fruit to eat, and it would also make Bai Shizu annoy him, so he refused to let the Lu family in, so he said: "Madam, you will spare the slave, don't break in, otherwise the grandfather will blame him, and the slave will not be able to eat and walk around!" ”

Where was the Lu family willing to listen to him, and said angrily: "Isn't there something unsightly in it?" Well, why are you holding me back? ”

Steward Luo saw that her speech was becoming more and more difficult to sound, and he was also panicked, he didn't know how to explain it, Bai Shizu's heart he knew best, if he let the Lu family see him and Mu Xinping together at this time, he would definitely be jealous and make a fuss.

But before the Lu family could break in, the door opened from the inside, and Bai Shizu looked at the Lu family with a displeased face and said, "What kind of system is it that you are shouting outside?" ”

Mu Xinping was holding the food box and standing behind, her face was still a little shy and rosy, and when she looked at it, she knew that nothing good had happened in it just now, and the fire in Lu's heart was even more rising.

She glared at Mu Xinping fiercely, but she also knew Bai Shizu, so she didn't dare to attack, so she only said softly: "Husband, the concubine has something to do to see you, but she was stopped outside by this minion, what is the reason?" ”

Bai Shizu glanced at Steward Luo, nodded and said, "Steward Luo did the right thing, I asked him not to let people in casually, what is the matter with you, you have to see me now, don't you know that I am busy with official business?" ”

When the Lu family heard this, he felt angry and aggrieved, Bai Shizu would never say such things to himself in the past, it must be that he now has Mu Xinping in his heart, so he will treat himself like this, so he said in a weird manner: "My husband is so busy, why is Miss Cousin accompanying him in the study?" Isn't it that Miss Biao can share affairs for her husband, or does she add fragrance to her red sleeves, which is not interesting? ”

The latter sentence was already slapping Bai Shizu's face, Mu Xinping's face was red, tears were in her eyes, and she said with a humiliated expression: "My cousin-in-law's words really make me ashamed, I just came to deliver snacks for my aunt, I just came here for a while, why is the red sleeves fragrant?" When you say this, don't you say that I am not ashamed, and I ...... I...... No matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't tolerate such slander! ”

As he spoke, tears fell, rubbing his eyes with a handkerchief, the pear blossoms with rain, ashamed and annoyed, Bai Shizu was distressed, and suddenly glared at Lu Shi with red eyes, and scolded: "What are you talking about?" Did you talk to your cousin like that? After all, she is a girl who has not left the cabinet, aren't you ruining your cousin's reputation? ”

Seeing that Bai Shizu scolded himself so loudly, it was something that had never happened before, and it was for such a shameless woman, so he was even more furious, and shouted loudly: "Husband, you are so unreasonable, if it weren't for the two of you, why did you close the door inside and don't let me in, I'm afraid this kind of thing can be seen by those who have eyes, why should I hide it from me, I'm not a careful person, it's normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, if you like me, I will go back to the old lady and take Miss Cousin into the room!" ”

The Lu family was really jealous, and it was so hot for a while that they even forgot Bai Shizu's temperament. Although he did think so, this unclear thing was shouted out by the Lu family so clearly, or in front of several subordinates, so that he could not save face, and he attached great importance to Mu Xinping's feelings in his heart, seeing that she listened to Lu's words, the tears fell even more fiercely, and he was extremely annoyed with the Lu family.

Mu Xinping didn't wait for Bai Shizu to speak, and said with a shameful expression: "When my cousin-in-law said this, she was simply forcing me to die!" How could I have had a relationship with my cousin, I sent snacks in a dignified manner, and tourmaline was also in it, could it be that the old lady would send a tourmaline girl to watch the play? What do you say about receiving a house, I am not a slave of the Ningguo Mansion, and I can't humiliate people like this! ”
