Chapter 063: The Wine of Reparation
Xiao Xiyang was personally selected by the Holy Lord to join Yan Yunwei, and Xiao Yan was really ready to hold a congratulatory banquet for him. But at the same time, Xiao Yan also knew that Chu Yanzhi was taken away from the position of deputy commander of Yan Yunwei, which made him wonder if this was a warning from the Holy Lord, reminding him which side he should stand on, if he still wanted to please both sides, then he was afraid that neither side could please in the end. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with Xiao Xile.
This daughter is really the same as the Li family, she can't figure it out, and she does everything she can to damage the Hou Mansion.
Xiao Yan's thoughts, Xiao Xiwei didn't know, she was just doing her best to handle the trivial matters of this congratulatory banquet.
"Second Miss."
was busy when a voice suddenly sounded behind his ears.
Xiao Xi turned his face slightly, and saw that it was Mama Liu, and the corners of her lips did not raise a smile, "Mama Liu, you are here, this time for the congratulatory banquet for my brother, is grandmother coming?" ”
Mama Liu glanced at Xiao Xiwei, and then shook her head, "The old lady said that she would not come, and said that there was nothing uneasy about the second lady in the Houfu to take care of her." ”
Xiao Xi's expression darkened slightly.
She knew that her grandmother had never liked the fight in the back house, but she didn't expect that she would close herself in the quiet garden because of this.
"Mama, grandmother, she ...... Is she still blaming me? Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice.
Grandmother has always been shrewd, she will not be ignorant of her little actions, and she has never intended to hide from her, but grandmother has been silent, just ignorant. Now that I think about it, my grandmother is now enclosed in the Quiet Garden, and many of them are because of the Li family, but she, perhaps, is also in it because of her.
"The slave maid thought, since the old lady handed over the entire Houfu to the second lady, she naturally believed in the second miss." Mama Liu said, carefully taking out a bunch of keys from her sleeve, "Second Miss, this is the key to the warehouse." Most of the dowry of the first lady was in it. The old lady said, now that the second lady has grown up, she has also completed the entrustment of the first lady, and will personally hand over her dowry to you, and ask the second lady to take good care of it. With that, he solemnly put the set of keys into Xiao Xiwei's palm.
The key in the palm of his hand still had a faint body temperature, and Xiao Xiwei suddenly felt that his eyes were a little moist.
In the last life, until she got married, the old lady gave her the key because of her poor health, but for some reason, most of the dowries in the treasury, especially the expensive jewelry, were replaced with gold-filled jewelry. At that time, she thought it was the old lady's doing, so she has always been worried about it. However, now that I think about it, Xiao Xile was shining gold when she got married, and you still carried a whole box of jewelry, with Li's background, she couldn't get so much dowry, and those dowries could only be moved from her mother's treasury. At that time, she remembered that her key had always been kept by Mama Cui.
"If the second lady has no other instructions, the slave will return to the Jingyuan." Mama Liu bowed her head and said respectfully.
Xiao Xiwei nodded to her and personally sent her out.
Not long after Mama Liu left, Biyun walked in.
"Miss, as you expected, someone from Xiyuan went to Huajin Garden, but they were driven out by Hongxiu next to the second lady."
Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly, looking at the blue sky above his head, and a cool smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
It will be night, and people will come and go in front of the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion.
When Xiao Xile entered the main hall, the hall was already full of guests who had come to congratulate him. And Xiao Xiwei wore a light blue wide-sleeved fairy skirt, and was surrounded by all the ladies and ladies in the middle, and no one saw her. Looking at Xiao Xiwei's smiling face, Xiao Xile only felt that his chest seemed to be being scratched by a wild cat, and his heart was full of resentment and jealousy, and the little apprehension in his heart disappeared in an instant.
As long as she is dead, then she is the only concubine of the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion! Then all this scenery is hers!
Only, she's dead!
She glanced at Hongxiu beside her with cold eyes, Hongxiu lowered her head in a panic, and didn't dare to look at Xiao Xile at all.
"After this matter is done, I will give you your deed of sale, otherwise it will ......" Xiao Xile's eyes crossed a trace of ruthlessness.
The threat in Xiao Xile's words made Hongxiu tremble, she raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Xile in horror, and finally had to grit her teeth and nod her head very lightly.
Xiao Xile retracted her gaze with satisfaction, she took a deep breath, and then walked towards Xiao Xiwei step by step.
"Sister......
Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly, looking at Xiao Xile's somewhat restrained and panicked appearance, his eyebrows were slightly twisted, but he still smiled and nodded, "Sister, you are here." ”
Xiao Xile twisted his handkerchief with both hands, raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Xiwei timidly, and then said in a trembling voice, "Sister, my sister did something wrong in the past, here, my sister has made amends to you, please ...... Please also ask my sister not to worry about me. ”
"What's going on?"
"To scare Miss Xiao San like this, it seems that the second young lady of Zhongyong Houfu is not simple!"
"No, I heard that now the master mother of the Zhongyong Houfu is seriously ill and recuperating, and the entire Houfu is controlled by this second lady, can such a person be simple."
Xiao Xile's arrogant temperament The ladies and ladies present had more or less heard of it, and now she was in front of so many people, panicking to make amends to her sister, thinking of the news that it was rumored that Li was seriously ill and moved out of the painting garden to recuperate, for a while, the ladies at the table were talking.
Xiao Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on the corner of his lips became more and more gentle, "Look at what my sister said, is it possible, what has my sister done that I can't care about?" ”
Xiao Xile was stunned, and saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him with her words, and he scolded a few times in his heart, but he had to pretend to be frightened on his face, "Sister doesn't dare." My sister used to be ignorant, and it was inevitable that there would be times when she offended her sister. Sister, my sister poured wine here in front of all the ladies to make amends to my sister, and asked my sister to read it for sisterhood, can you ...... I can not blame the past. Xiao Xile said, and the frightened Xiao Xiwei blessed his body. At this time, the girl next to her, Hongxiu, brought the wine up, she really poured the wine herself, and then picked up one of the glasses and raised it in front of Xiao Xiwei in fear.
Xiao Xi's eyes narrowed unconsciously.
Xiao Xile suddenly ran out to sing such a play, what did he want to do?
Seeing that Xiao Xiwei didn't accept the wine, but kept staring at him with cold eyes, Xiao Xile's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, "Sister, I know that my mother treated you in the past...... It's not good for you, but, but I'm ...... I'm ......," Xiao Xile said, his eyes gradually reddening.
"Second Miss, since the Third Miss has personally made amends, you can forgive her!"
"Yes, yes!"
Finally, the corners of Xiao Xi's lips curved a shallow arc, and she slowly raised her hand and stretched out towards the wine glass that Xiao Xile was holding.
Xiao Xile's eyes quickly flashed with a trace of joy.
Even if the joy was only for a moment, it was still captured by Xiao Xiwei.
Isn't there a problem with this wine?
Xiao Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on the corner of her lips was still there, but her outstretched hand pushed back the glass of wine in Xiao Xile's hand, "I received my sister's apology, but the wine is free." ”
"No, you must drink this wine!" Xiao Xile hurriedly said, as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong with her words, so she looked at Xiao Xi pitifully and whispered again, "Could it be that my sister still refuses to forgive me?" ”
Xiao Xiwei's heart suddenly coldened.
Now she is sure that there is definitely something wrong with Xiao Xile's glass of wine! She didn't want to poison her own sister in front of so many people! If that's the case, she's too bold!
"My sister doesn't know, I've always been a light drinker. Besides, there is still a lot to be done at today's feast, and it will not be good for me to get drunk. Xiao Xi said with a slight smile.
Xiao Xile's tears welled up, she looked at Xiao Xi sadly and whispered, "Sister, sister doesn't suspect that I put something in the wine, so ...... That's why I won't drink ......."
The hall that was still noisy suddenly quieted down with Xiao Xile's words.
Xiao Xi squinted her eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Xile, and for a while she couldn't figure out what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd at the moment. Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly swept towards Hongxiu, who had been holding wine with her head down.
As if sensing Xiao Xi's slightly introspective gaze, Hongxiu's body shook involuntarily.
There must be something wrong with this wine. Otherwise, she wouldn't have forced her to drink so urgently, and Hongxiu wouldn't have been so weak-hearted, but ...... Since this wine problem, why does Xiao Xile still pick it up?
"Sister......" Xiao Xile shouted with a crying voice, his eyes were sad and aggrieved, "If my sister is not at ease, I can take a sip first." As she spoke, she lowered her head with tears in her eyes and took a sip of the wine that was originally going to be handed to Xiao Xiwei.
"Looks like there's no problem with this wine."
"I think it's ...... too"
"Second Miss, since there is no problem with the third miss tasting this wine herself, the second miss might as well drink a lot of this wine as an adult, forgive her!"
"Yes! They are all their own sisters, and they should be and Meimei. ”
The ladies at the banquet spoke one after another.
Xiao Xile raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiwei with hope, "Sister." ”
Xiao Xiwei looked at Xiao Xile in front of him, and his eyes gradually deepened.
There must be something wrong with this wine, otherwise, she wouldn't have forced her to drink it again and again? It's just that in this situation, how can she refuse?
"Second sister, third sister......" At this time, a crisp voice sounded.
Xiao Xi turned his face slightly, and saw Xiao Ximing running in.
"Ming'er, why are you back?" Seeing that Xiao Ximing was covered in sweat, Xiao Xi smiled, took out a handkerchief and was about to wipe the sweat beads off his head for him.
"I knew I was going to celebrate my big brother today, so I secretly ran out of the academy! Second sister, don't tell the master! Xiao Ximing stuck out his tongue, and when his eyes fell on the cup in Xiao Xile's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Third sister, is the tea in your hand, give it to me!" I'm dying of thirst! As he spoke, he quickly snatched the cup from her hand.
"Don't ......" Xiao Xiwei just wanted to stop it, but saw that Xiao Ximing had already raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.
