Xiao Tao carried a silk handkerchief in his sleeve, and he had a mind in his heart. Reluctant to leave the house, they returned to the other courtyard. It's already close to dusk. Xiao Tao had just helped move the things in the carriage into the courtyard, and the maid had already come to pass the second lady to invite her over.

Xiao Tao touched the silk handkerchief in her sleeve, and her steps became heavy.

Under the leadership of the maid, Xiao Tao went to the second lady's boudoir for the first time. The tent in the house is heavy-dimensional, and the bead curtains are rolling, which is extremely luxurious. Xiao Tao didn't dare to look closely and saluted the second lady. The second lady raised her chin and asked, "Did Si Pa send it out?" ”

"Sent out." Xiao Tao's head was lowered, "But ---- Qi Gongzi sent it back again." Xiao Tao held the silk handkerchief in her sleeve in front of the second lady with both hands.

"What?" The second young lady's voice suddenly turned as sharp as Bingfeng, and she pulled the silk handkerchief over and stared at Xiao Tao tightly, "Who sent it back?" ”

The second lady's expression was a little ruthless, and she looked surprised. Xiao Tao tried his best to keep his voice steady and said, "Qi Gongzi personally sent it back." He said that he received his heart, but he couldn't accept it, for fear of tarnishing Miss's reputation-----"

Before Xiao Tao finished speaking, the second lady was already angry and shouted, "Okay! Gritting his teeth and whispering, "Get out!" ”

Xiao Tao was stunned, her words were not finished yet. But the second lady was about to tear off the silk handkerchief in her hand, and Xiao Tao was a little timid, and retreated with her head down. As soon as I went out, I heard the clanging of things on the floor in the room.

Xiao Tao patted her chest, and the second lady looked at the person who was like a flower and jade, and her temper was really big. Xiao Tao went back along the way she came, and just turned the two lotus ponds, a maid came out from the side of the rockery, with no expression on her face: "You are Xiao Tao?" ”

Xiao Tao nodded: "Where are you?" ”

The maid still didn't have any expression: "Come with me to the eldest lady." The young lady has something to order. Xiao Tao was stunned, there is still an eldest lady in the He family? What to do with her? This one can't be more tempered than the one just now, right? Xiao Tao was worried, but she didn't have the slightest choice, so she had to follow the maid to the eldest lady.

Although they are both Miss He, the places where the two live are far apart. Xiao Tao followed the maid and maid to walk a stick of incense, and went around a few cloister paths before arriving at a courtyard on the east side of the courtyard that stretched out to the north. It's very quiet, full of bamboo forests, and it took a long time to walk through the bamboo forest before I arrived at the eldest lady's room.

Different from the luxurious room of the second lady, the room of the eldest lady is simple and plain, with a small and delicate celadon incense burner burning on the incense table near the window, and green smoke curling on it. In the cabinet next to the incense desk, there are many books. Further back is the bedroom. Xiao Tao stood at the door and waited for a while, the door of the bedroom opened, and two people walked out, the one in front of him was wearing a flying fairy bun and a light lotus skirt, with a hint of dust in his hair. is different from the brightness of the second lady, this one is elegant. I think this is the eldest lady, and the one in the back is a little older, with a shrewd and capable face.

When the eldest lady saw Xiao Tao, she was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the older woman behind her: "Yun Niang, I said that you don't have to call her here, but you are making your own decisions again." ”

The woman called Yun Niang bowed down and said, "Miss, you also have to know yourself and your opponent so that you can know in your heart." ”

Xiao Tao didn't understand what dumb riddles they were playing, so she quickly bowed down and saluted the eldest lady. Yun Niang walked up to Xiao Tao and asked bluntly, "Did you send a handkerchief for the second lady today?" ”

Little Peach nodded. The news in this house spreads so fast. How many pairs of eyes are staring at you behind your little movement? Thinking of this, Xiao Tao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Did Mr. Qi accept it?" Yun Niang continued to ask.

Xiao Tao shook her head, she couldn't figure out the relationship between them, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Why?" Yun Niang's voice had an urgent urging, and Xiao Tao's mind was blank by her urging, and she didn't know how to answer for a long time.

"Alright." The eldest lady suddenly spoke, "Don't ask again." It's good not to take it, and ask what the irrelevant ones do. ”
