How could Xue Hainiang do what the old lady wanted, she stepped forward to owe herself to show her dignity and etiquette, and when the old lady Xue saw this, she also hurriedly got up and saluted her back.

Xue Hainiang said eloquently, her words were humble but did not lose the dignity and dignity of the superior, "This concubine grew up in the Xue Mansion since she was a child, and she naturally knows every flower and tree, grass and tree in this Xue Mansion, and now, although she entered the mansion as an outsider, her grandmother also treated the concubine and Her Royal Highness as a greeting guest, but in fact there is no need for this." In Hai Niang's heart, whether Hai Niang is married or not, Hai Niang is a person in Xue's mansion, so there is really no need to do this to guide the way. ”

Xue Hainiang's words were appropriate, it was really impossible to find a trace of mistakes, Mrs. Xue was stunned by her words, and wanted to refute, but she didn't know how to speak, she only knew that this time she must not easily ask Xue Hainiang to leave alone.

"The old body doesn't regard you as an outsider, but, according to etiquette, the old body should also let Cai Wei give the side concubine a ride-" Old Madam Xue played the emotional card with Xue Hainiang.

When Xue Jingzheng heard this, he subconsciously twisted his sword eyebrows slightly, and he didn't know whether he was annoyed because of Old Madam Xue's stubbornness, or because Xue Hainiang was angry because he didn't know how to cater to Old Madam Xue's intentions. In short, Xue Jingzheng opened his mouth at the right time, "Hai Niang, you don't need to be so polite to your own family, since the old lady treats her so warmly, you just accept it." ”

When he said this, he was determined to stand on Mrs. Xue's side. That's right, although Xue Jingzheng is said to be negative, he is extremely filial to his mother, and he is also a well-known filial son among the hundred officials in Beijing.

If it weren't for this, as early as when Xue Jingzheng snubbed his wife and married the Lin family as a concubine, he would have been drowned by the spittle of the neighbors in this market, where could he sit here so high-soundingly.

Xue Hainiang thought about it, Rao is now Cai Wei is close by her side, and it is not impossible to find a reason to branch it out later...... Therefore, Xue Hainiang responded with great enthusiasm but generally agreed, and after giving a salute to Mrs. Xue and Xue Jingzheng, the money was withdrawn.

Bringing Ah Ling and Cai Wei to the outer courtyard, Xue Hainiang pondered for a long time, and had an idea in her heart.

Since Mrs. Xue had the intention not to let her meet the Xu family, naturally, the Xu family should not live in the former courtyard now, and it must have been secretly moved by Mrs. Xue.

She has been away from the mansion for many days, and now it is like a newcomer, and naturally no one in this mansion will fight to disobey the old lady's wishes to tell her the truth, Xue Hainiang couldn't help but fall her eyes on Cai Wei who followed her, and only smiled after a while: "Cai Wei, I remember that you didn't follow the old lady to serve in the past......"

But this is the case, before she left the house, she did not see such a number one person as Cai Wei by Mrs. Xue's side. Come to think of it, it must have been sold into the mansion by Ya Po later, and it was carefully sent to the old lady to serve.

Cai Wei glanced at Xue Hainiang timidly and then hurriedly lowered her head, before, the aunt beside the old lady had already told her a thousand times, do not have close contact with the Xue family daughter in front of her, if it is really close contact, then you must be careful and careful, so as not to be confused by her.

Although Xue Hainiang didn't know what Cai Wei was thinking, she couldn't help but smile when she saw that this delicate and well-behaved girl was very nervous, and asked again: "What's the matter?

This question seemed to be mixed with the coercion of the superiors, and Cai Wei was overwhelmed for a while, and the sentence 'report truthfully' also made her face almost change. Cai Wei hurriedly leaned down and replied, "Yes, the slave knows her mistake." The slave was sold into the mansion by Ya Po and signed a death deed in the second year after you and the second lady left the house. ”

Xue Hainiang raised her lips and smiled, but she didn't know if it was mostly ridicule or confusion, "This concubine remembers that the girls around her grandmother are very clever, well-behaved and intelligent. You're an exception. ”

The implication is to accuse her of being a little clumsy and demented compared to many girls around the old lady.

How dare Cai Wei refute, she replied again and again, "Xu is old lady feels that the slave maid is more eye-catching, so she stayed." ”

Xue Hainiang sneered, and did not refute it face-to-face, but her eyes subconsciously moved to Na Caiwei's face, which can barely be called beautiful and lovely, but you must know that this kind of appearance is not top-notch in the huge Xue Mansion, at most it can be regarded as middle and upper-class.

Cai Wei saw that Xue Hainiang was silent, and hurriedly said: "Didn't you say that you want to go to the toilet...... Slave, slave and maid will lead the way for you now, please come here. ”

Xue Hainiang raised her hand to stop it, but walked to a marble table in the outer courtyard and sat down, "Don't worry...... The concubine just felt very depressed inside, and wanted to come out to breathe. ”

Cai Wei was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to deal with it. The meaning of this concubine's words is that it is very impatient to greet the old man and the old lady and Aunt Xu and others inside?

When Cai Wei was thinking about whether to tell the old lady the truth in the future, Xue Hainiang said slowly, "This mansion ...... Now it's completely Aunt Xu's world. She laughed a little sarcastically.

Cai Wei really didn't know why Xue Hainiang had this feeling, although she agreed with her heart, she didn't dare to echo on her face, and shook her head again and again, "I can't say that, although Aunt Xu is now the heir of Xue Mansion and is favored by the master, she is only a humble concubine, and this mansion is still the master and the old lady." "It seems that the word 'madam' is emphasized, consciously or unconsciously.

Xue Hainiang said in her heart that although Cai Wei looked cowardly and stupid, she shouldn't say anything, but she didn't say anything at all. Obviously, it is extremely difficult to talk about it. Xue Hainiang was not worried, but looked at her slowly and methodically: "Madam? This is strange, when there was no Aunt Xu in this mansion before, it was not the turn of the concubine's mother to call the shots, why now, my father is enlightened?"

When he said this, he couldn't help but raise his lips and sneer. How could she not know that if it weren't for his dignified father, who was bent on maintaining his reputation outside, I am afraid that he would have abandoned the Xu family long ago, and now let the Xu family stay in this mansion in the position of 'lady', just to prevent the people of the market and the neighborhood from judging in the back. scolded him for being an ungrateful man in private and abandoning his wretched wife.

But now, what is the difference between placing the Xu family in the Xue Mansion so casually and being imprisoned?

Looking at the faces of Old Madam Xue and Xue Jingzheng day and night, I have to wonder from time to time whether Xue Jingzheng's favorite concubine will climb on her head to show off her might.
