Chapter 008: Humiliation by the Poolside
Xiao Xiwei smiled when he heard this, "Since that's the case, then let's go together." ”
"Then sister, you wait for me, I'll freshen up and come out immediately." Xiao Xile smiled, and then quickly sat down in front of the vanity mirror, not paying any attention to the sudden change in the face of Mama Cui behind her.
At this moment, her heart was full of the man who had come to save her on horseback.
Xiao Xi looked sideways at the crimson on Xiao Xile's cheeks, and a sneer crossed his lips unconsciously.
That feeling of anticipation and happiness was once upon a time, but when the truth was revealed, she fell from heaven to hell in an instant......
Xiao Xile, one day, I will let you taste the taste of falling from heaven to hell.
Now, just enjoy it.
"Miss, the slave maid will go and take care of it first, so as not to bump into Miss with some insightful eyes." Cui Mama said.
Xiao Xi nodded slightly and waved his hand at Mama Cui, "Go ahead." ”
As soon as Cui's mother left, she reached out and slowly put it on Hongyu's hand, and then turned her face and whispered a few words into her ear. Hongyu listened, his face froze, and then quietly retreated.
It is rumored that the daughter of the former Chao'an Temple was in the pool behind the Chao'an Temple and accidentally bumped into the emperor who went out on patrol in micro-clothes and thus walked smoothly into the world of mica.
It is the early summer, the marriage pool is a pool of green, the round lotus leaves lie quietly in the water holding a few budding stamens, the breeze blows, the faint fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose and is indescribably fresh and pleasant.
As soon as Xiao Xile arrived, he quickly looked around through the veil.
It was already evening, and there was no one by the marriage pool.
"Sister, didn't you say that the four princes came to the marriage pool?"
"The back mountain is so big, maybe we haven't encountered it in other corners." Xiao Xi said lightly, and as he spoke, he picked up a big stone next to him and sat down, "Sister, it's not too early, why don't we go back." ”
"What's the matter, I haven't seen ...... yet" As soon as the words came out, Xiao Ranle immediately noticed that something was wrong and stopped, she glanced at Xiao Xiwei and paused before continuing, "I mean, it's hard to come out, let's take a walk." ”
"I'm a little tired, it's better for my sister to play, I'm waiting for you here." Xiao Xi said slightly.
Xiao Xile thought about it.
That's fine, she has outstanding appearance, and if she is there, she may be able to divert the attention of the four princes from herself, so it is better to stay here.
Thinking like this, Xiao Xile smiled sweetly at Xiao Xi, "Okay, sister, you can wait for me here!" I went and came back. With that, he led his two personal girls and left here quickly.
"Mama Cui, how long have you been in the mansion?"
Suddenly, Xiao Xi turned his face slightly to look at Mama Cui and said softly.
Mama Cui was stunned, "Miss, it's been fifteen years since the slave maid entered the mansion. ”
"Oh." Xiao Xi nodded with a sudden realization, "Oh, isn't that Mama Cui that you are taking care of me as soon as you enter the mansion?" ”
"Yes."
"Oh." Xiao Xi replied faintly, don't look away.
Mama Cui looked at Xiao Xi's quiet and delicate face, only to feel confused, and there was a faint uneasiness in her heart.
The second lady asked this brainlessly, I really don't know what it means?
She was thinking about it, but there was a sharp rebuke from the girl. She hurriedly looked over, only to see that a lewd man on the opposite side of the pool was reaching out to stop Xiao Xile and the two girls, and while she was not paying attention, he also reached out and pulled out a broken hosta from her head.
"Third Miss." Mama Cui screamed, her face turned pale with surprise, and she hurriedly ran towards the opposite side of the pool.
She had already let the man go back, so why did she appear here again? Moreover, he was also entangled with the third lady?
A cold smile gradually appeared on the corner of Xiao Xiwei's lips, she stood up holding Biyun's hand, and her voice was a little indescribably cold, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
"Where did the madman come from, is Chao'an Temple also a place where you can go wild? Don't get out of here! As soon as Mama Cui passed, she immediately protected Xiao Xile behind her.
But after half a day's work, Xiao Xile was insulted like this by a strange man for the second time, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable and aggrieved at the moment, and his tears fell straight down.
If this news spreads, her reputation will be ruined.
As soon as she thought of this, her face became more and more pale.
At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared on the path, one of them, whose face was like a crown of jade, handsome and elegant, was Chu Yanzhi, the fourth prince of the dynasty.
Xiao Xile was overjoyed at first, but then he thought of his current situation, and he was ashamed and eager to plunge into the pool.
"What kind of madman, it's obvious that the third lady of your family asked me to meet here, what are you an old slave yelling about......" The man looked down and smiled obscenely at Xiao Xile.
"You, you talk nonsense." Xiao Xile was anxious and angry, stretched out his hand and pointed at the man speechless for a long time.
Mama Cui also spotted Chu Yanzhi's figure at this time, she hurriedly glanced at the girl next to her, and then scolded fiercely, "Okay, you little hoof, it's a shame that the third lady trusts you so much, you shamelessly carry the young lady behind your back and pull and pull with a man in a place like Chao'an Temple, if it affects the reputation of the young lady, what crime should you be guilty of!" ”
Listening to Mama Cui's words, Xiao Xile reacted with a stirring spirit.
That's right, the most important thing at the moment is to put everything away from yourself, and don't let the four princes misunderstand anything.
"Tao Xing, in vain I trust you so much, how can you do such a thing."
"Three...... The third lady ......" Tao Xing suddenly knelt on the ground and looked up at Xiao Xile in a daze.
"What's going on?" At this time, Chu Yanzhi's voice happened to sound.
"The Four Princes." Xiao Xile saw Chu Yanzhi, her voice was surprised and happy, she turned sideways and blessed him with a dignified blessing, "Thank you for your concern." Just now I saw this sneaky man pulling and pulling with my girl, so I gave her a few words. ”
As soon as Xiao Xile's words fell, he saw that the man pushed the girl next to him hard, turned his head and picked up a path and ran.
"Your Highness, do you want to bring him back?" The attendant next to Chu Yanzhi said.
"No need." Chu Xizhi waved his hand, his gaze crossed Xiao Xile's body, and finally landed on Xiao Xiwei, who was standing quietly not far behind her.
"Sister...... Sister. Following Chu Yanzhi's gaze, Xiao Xile also saw Xiao Xiwei, her face turned pale, and her voice had a slight trill.
When did she stand behind her? How long has it been? If she had been standing there, did that mean she had seen the scene just now?
The corners of Xiao Xiwei's mouth slowly raised an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, she glanced at Xiao Xile lightly, but in the end, she just turned her face sideways and said to Biyun lightly, "It's not early, let's go back." With that, he turned away.
Seeing that she was leaving, Chu Yanzhi hurriedly took two steps forward, and was about to call her, but was tripped by Xiao Xile.
"Fourth prince, didn't you come to this marriage pool to ask for marriage?"
was blocked by her like this, Chu Yanzhi had to watch Xiao Xiwei's back drift away. He was a little annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't speak when he thought of his identity, so he just dealt with her casually and hurriedly left with the guards.
Xiao Xiwei returned to his room, then sat back on the table and continued the Buddhist scriptures that had not yet been copied. Biyun looked at Xiao Xi's slightly quiet side face while grinding ink, and his stomach was full of doubts, but he didn't know how to speak.
When the Buddhist scriptures were halfway copied, Mama Cui came in with tea.
"Mama, where have you been?" Xiao Xiwei copied the Buddhist scriptures without raising his head.
"The slave has gone to make tea for the young lady." Cui Mama said as she poured a cup of tea for Xiao Xiwei.
Xiao Xi smiled faintly, put down the pen, took the tea handed over by Mama Cui and took a sip, "By the way, how is my sister?" ”
Mama Cui casually continued, "The slave maid just served the third lady and rested ......" As soon as the words came out, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She is the second miss's slave, how can she be so concerned about the third miss's affairs? She hurriedly raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Xiao Xiwei's expression, but saw that her expression was as usual, as if she hadn't noticed anything, and felt a little more at ease at the moment, so she continued, "The second miss cares so much about the third miss, it is really a deep sisterhood." ”
Sisterhood?
Xiao Xiwei couldn't help but sneer a few times in his heart.
"Yes, my sister and I were not born to the same mother, but we grew up together, and I will give her my things as long as she likes them. If my sister thinks that Mama Cui is happy and comfortable serving her, I don't mind Mama Cui going to her to wait. ”
As soon as Xiao Xiwei's words fell, Cui's mother broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down, crying and mourning, "Second Miss said this, but it's not good for the slave to wait?" If the second lady dislikes the slave and maid, just send the slave and maid out, and she must not say such things to poke the slave and maid's heart! The slave maid can be entrusted by the first lady, and she has done her best to take care of the second lady over the years, and she does not dare to slack off, if the second lady is annoyed by the slave maid, please ask the second lady to sell the slave maid! As he spoke, he pulled his sleeve and wiped away his tears.
When Biyun next to her heard Grandma Cui's words, she suddenly felt a little unbearable, so she turned her face and pleaded for her, "Miss, for the sake of Grandma Cui who has been taking care of you all these years, don't send her to the second miss." ”
Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Biyun.
Take good care of it. She did take good care of herself, and she was so careful that she told the Li mother and daughter everything about herself, and even drugged her own tranquilizing soup. This care, she will remember it forever in her heart, and she will not dare to forget it for a moment.
"I'm just talking, Mom, what are you doing here?" Xiao Xi hooked the corners of her lips slightly, got up and walked to Mama Cui and helped her up, "I don't dare to forget for a moment how my mother has taken care of me all these years, and in the future, I will repay my mother for a while." ”
Mama Cui looked up at Xiao Xiwei, obviously she spoke softly and smiled like a flower, but why did she only feel a slight coldness in her heart when she looked at it.
Is it a delusion? Why, she always felt that this eldest lady seemed to be a different person?
"Second Miss, what are these words, taking care of you is what a slave should do."
Xiao Xi smiled and patted Cui's hand, then turned away.
Mama Cui just breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Xiwei suddenly turned her face, "By the way, Mama, is it really Tao Xing who just pulled and pulled with a strange man in the marriage pool?" ”
Mama Cui was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously, "That's right, it's Taoxing." ”
Xiao Xiwei looked at Mama Cui's eyes for a long time before she smiled, "I'm fine, Mama can go back to rest." ”
Mama Cui breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retired.
