Chapter 054: Aunt Finds Fault
Xiao Yan knew that Li had committed suicide and scolded a few words after breaking his head, and he really didn't mention the matter of her leaving the waiting house, but every time he entered the inner courtyard and passed by the painting brocade garden, he always remembered Li's face, and he really felt troubled, so the day after Li woke up, he said that Li was seriously ill and needed to recuperate, so he drove her to Xiyuan. Last time, the Li family was able to pretend to be sick to win Xiao Yan's pity and leave Xiyuan, but this time he went in, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to come out again.
"White jade butterfly hairpin, jasper seven treasures exquisite hairpin, chrysanthemum pattern enamel color step shake, gold inlaid East Pearl earrings, red jade butterfly earrings, gold inlaid jade bracelets, coral bracelets...... Father, did she move the entire jewelry store to you? Xiao Xiyang looked at the jewelry sent by Xiao Yan and pulled the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Xi smiled and casually took a hairpin from the box of jewelry.
Maybe it's because of guilt.
"What's this? Just throw a few hairpins and don't pursue it! Xiao Xiyang raised his hand and pressed the hairpin in Xiao Xiwei's hand and threw it back into the box, his sword eyebrows twisted slightly, and there was obvious displeasure in his eyes.
Early that morning, he asked someone to ride out of the house, and if he was present at the time, whether his father agreed or not, he would definitely drive Li out of the house immediately! Such a vicious woman dared to hit his sister with her idea! It's not bad if he didn't strangle her on the spot, what are you doing in the house! I don't look upset!
"Maybe Daddy is afraid that this will affect my marriage with Xile." Xiao Xi said lightly.
"Nonsense! Zimu doesn't care about this! Xiao Xiyang retorted with a straight face.
"Zimu?" Xiao Xi's eyebrows raised slightly.
If she remembers correctly, Zimu should be Chu Xizhi's small characters? It's just, brother, how would he know? Moreover, listening to his tone, he seems to be very familiar with Chu Xizhi? But obviously my brother has only returned to the capital not long ago, and the cage has only seen Chu Xizhi a few times? When did they know each other so well enough to call each other's small characters?
"Oh! Zimu is a cherished little word, sister, you should know this! Xiao Xiyang said loudly.
"Brother, when are you going to be sorry...... Are you so familiar with the Seventh Prince? At the mention of Chu Xizhi's name, Xiao Xiwei's face was slightly hot, and his voice couldn't help but become a little smaller.
Seeing Xiao Xiwei's expression, Xiao Xiyang smiled loudly, "Sister, you shouldn't be shy!" β
"What nonsense are you talking about!" was poked in his heart, Xiao Xi was slightly annoyed and pushed his brother angrily.
Xiao Xiyang laughed louder instead, so angry that Xiao Xi turned his face away with a little indignation, and he restrained himself a little, "However, Wei'er, your vision is really good!" Zimu is a person to rely on! β
Xiao Xiwei's face unconsciously became a little hotter, and she pretended to be angry and glanced at Xiao Xiyang, "You still say!" β
"Okay, okay, don't I say it?" Xiao Xiyang reluctantly raised his hand and surrendered, "But Wei'er, do you really forget about the Li family's affairs?" β
When he thought of what the Li family had done to Wei'er, he always felt that it was a scourge to keep her in the mansion.
"Okay, brother, you don't have to worry about her business, anyway, she can't make any waves now. Besides, if I forcibly let my father divorce her, I'm afraid that Brother Ming will have sex with you and me in the future. Xiao Xi said slightly.
Xiao Xiyang frowned, "It's a pity that Brother Ming has such a mother." β
Thinking that Xiao Ximing was full of trust and affection to call her sister, Xiao Xi sighed faintly.
"There's one more thing, though." Xiao Xiyang's eyes suddenly lit up, and his gaze swept around Xiao Xiwei's body leisurely.
Xiao Xi glanced at him faintly, unmoved, and took a sip of tea casually, "Oh." β
"After a while, the martial arts camp will hold a martial arts test, and the sons and daughters of the nobles in Beijing will participate, Zimu asked me to ask you if you want to go?" Xiao Xiyang said, deliberately cleared his throat and looked at Xiao Xi playfully and smiled, "Sister, then you go or not!" β
Xiao Xi's face flushed slightly, "You guys are fighting and killing, I'm going to join in the fun with a girl." β
"Who said that you are just a girl, and the ladies of all provinces will go to see it when the time comes! However, if you don't go, I'll talk back to Zimu. Xiao Xiyang said, making a gesture to leave.
Xiao Xi glared at him slightly, walked to the couch indifferently and sat down.
"Sister, are you really not going?" Seeing that Xiao Xiwei was unmoved, Xiao Xiyang had to turn his head again.
Xiao Xiwei picked up the teacup again, took a sip of tea leisurely, and spit out two words lightly, "Don't go." β
"Poor Zimu, why did you put up such a fiancΓ©e like you? Alas! Xiao Xiyang sighed heavily, and when Xiao Xiwei smashed the teacup towards him, he quickly ran out of Shuyingxuan.
Looking at Xiao Xiyang's back in a hurry, the girls in the house couldn't help laughing.
"Miss, are you really not going?" Ziyan couldn't help but laugh and looked at Xiao Xi in a low voice.
Xiao Xi glanced at Ziyan slightly, then turned his face away, picked up the unfinished embroidery on the table and embroidered it.
Before she could embroider a few stitches, Biyun ran in in a hurry, "Second Miss, go out and have a look, the third aunt and the fourth miss have quarreled." β
When Xiao Xiwei arrived, he saw the third aunt dragging Xiao Xichun, and her face was not good.
"Third aunt, what's going on?"
Seeing Xiao Xiwei coming, the third aunt pulled Xiao Xichun hard, and the corners of her lips hooked up with a sneer, "The second lady came just in time, just in time to give me a comment." This time she smashed my pink jade crystal hairpin. This hairpin was given to me by the master, and it was broken by her for no reason, do you think she should pay for it. β
"Third aunt, it's obvious that you deliberately blocked my way, so I bumped into ......," Xiao Xichun said with red eyes.
Mama Xiao has been getting sicker and sicker recently, and she is not good after taking a lot of medicine, she was about to go to Shuyingxuan to talk to Xiao Xiwei, and wanted to go out to prescribe some medicine to Mama Xiao in person, but she didn't expect to meet the third aunt in the garden. Mama Xiao said that in the early years, her biological mother, the second aunt, had a gap with the third aunt, so she could avoid the third aunt if she could avoid the third aunt, but she didn't expect to bump into the garden so coincidentally this time.
"Yo! You are surprised to say this, this road is not yours, why can't I walk! Anyway, this hairpin was broken because of you, and you should pay for it! The third aunt raised her chin and stared at Xiao Xichun coldly.
"Second sister...... Xiao Xichun had to look at Xiao Xiwei with red eyes and asking for help.
The corners of the third aunt's mouth hooked, "Second Miss, the lord will leave the Houfu to you to take care of, I think, you won't favor anyone!" β
Originally, the Li family fell out of favor, and she was proud, who would have thought that Xiao Xichun would take Xiao Xichun's stinky girl in the blink of an eye and let her block it. That's all about it, what made her angry the most was that she secretly helped Zhou Shumei, who had a marriage contract, to be a concubine! Concubine! She has been in Houfu for all these years, and she is no worse than Zhou Shumei in terms of origin and appearance! Why did you help her to be a concubine and press her! That's not all, since Zhou Shumei entered the house, the master threw her into the corner again, and she didn't necessarily come once in ten days and a half months! Do you think she can not be angry!
"Naturally not." Xiao Xi smiled faintly, she looked down at the hairpin on the ground that was broken into a few pieces of pink jade and crystal, and pursed her lips, "I'm afraid that this hairpin can't be repaired, otherwise, my father just sent me a box of jewelry, why don't you go with me to see it?" β
The third aunt's face changed again and again, and finally gritted her teeth and said angrily, "The third lady is really good to the fourth miss!" Even such a thing has to stand up for her! It's just that it's obvious that the fourth lady dropped my hairpin, if the second miss is asked to compensate me, what kind of words will it be spread out! β
"Third aunt, we are all a family, so you don't have to worry about some things! Besides, the fourth sister has just returned home, how can there be any silver to pay for your hairpin. Xiao Xi smiled.
"Didn't she receive a reward in the palace? Just take one and get it. The third aunt sneered.
"The third aunt is confused, it's a royal gift, and you can't give it to others casually." Xiao Xi smiled slightly.
"Second Miss didn't say it just now, we are all a family, since this is the case, then I shouldn't be considered someone else!" The third aunt said.
Xiao Xi smiled slightly, "I didn't expect the third aunt to be a sharp-toothed person." β
"Second sister, forget it...... The third aunt's hairpin, I will pay ......," Xiao Xichun gritted his teeth and said.
Last time, Xiao Xichun won the first place at the Qixi Festival dinner, and any of the emperor's rewards were treasures, which was comparable to a pink jade crystal hairpin. The third aunt really dared to speak.
"No need, you can go back! Didn't you say that Mama Xiao's illness was not cured? Xiao Xiwei glanced at Xiao Xichun calmly.
The corners of Xiao Xichun's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something more, but looking at Xiao Xiwei's calmness, he finally bit it and led the girl away.
"Second Miss, what do you mean by that!" Seeing that Xiao Xichun was gone, the third aunt was really a little angry.
"Third aunt, the fourth sister should have no place to offend you when she just returned home, right?" Xiao Xiwei smiled faintly.
"It's hard to say!" The third aunt raised her eyebrows.
"Third aunt, you won't be angry with the fourth sister because of the second aunt, right?" Xiao Xi smiled and said.
Seeing her mention the second aunt, a trace of resentment flashed in the third aunt's eyes.
If it weren't for that slut, how could she have lost her child! Why is that slut's child alive and her son gone? Why!
"I remember when the third aunt fell into the lotus pond, the capital seemed to be very unpeaceful? I heard that someone exposed the rebellion of the six kings, and the saint was furious and wanted to deprive the six princes of their military rights? β
The third aunt frowned, with a puzzled expression, "Second Miss, what are you telling me about this!" β
What does this have to do with her being pushed into the lotus pond and the child dropped!
Looking at the puzzled face of the third aunt, Xiao Xiwei sighed in her heart.
No wonder grandmother said that the third aunt was an unclear character. No matter how she said it, she was also born in an official family, although she is a concubine, but she is not sensitive to these political affairs at all, no wonder her grandmother would rather let the Li family control the Houfu than pull her up.
"Auntie, you won't know that the second aunt is the daughter of the Xiang family! The Xiang family was a party of six kings at that time, and the six kings were suppressed by the emperor's suspicion, do you think the second aunt's life in the house will be better? At this time, it's too late for her to shrink her tail and become a person, do you think she will have the heart to deal with you? Aren't you afraid of attracting attention and burning her with a fire? Xiao Xi said slightly.
The third aunt was stunned.
Yes! At that time, the house was indeed secretly discussing whether the second aunt would be implicated because of the six kings, but it was just ...... She was really pushed into the water by the second aunt's sister-in-law!
