Chapter 5: The Eve of the Family Feast

After a long time, Xue Qiaoling finally showed her teeth and smiled, and her delicate and lovely jade face was full of hypocritical smiles.

"What my sister said is very true, although you and I were not born to the same mother, you can say something in my heart, you and I are both daughters of the Xue family, and we will support each other when we enter the palace in the future. As she spoke, she owed Xue Hainiang again, "In the past, I was my sister and I was ignorant, so my sister should not hold a grudge." ”

Xue Hainiang smiled and saluted back, "Where did you say, even if you and I had deep grievances in the past, but when we enter the palace in the future, we are all named Xue people......" Xue Hainiang was lightly perfunctory, her lips stained with lipstick rose slightly, but her lowered eyes were cold.

After all, it was the humiliation and pain suffered in her previous life that wiped out her edges and pride.

Seeing that the two only shook hands and made peace, Fuzi could only be in a hurry.

He really didn't know why the second lady, who had always been quite scheming, would believe Xue Hainiang's words......

After Xue Hainiang and Xue Qiaoling parted ways and returned to their respective courtyards, Fuzi went to the Lin family's courtyard without thinking about it, and put the cause of the incident into the Lin family's ears through the original truth, of course, it inevitably added some of his slightly biased opinions.

As Fuzi expected, when the Lin family heard that Xue Qiaoling actually listened to Xue Hainiang's slanderous words and became an ally with her, they were shocked and angry for a while, and their carefully maintained slender hands slapped fiercely on the rosewood square table next to the chaise longue.

"How could Ling'er be so confused, she was actually in the company of Xue Hainiang, who was in the same room as the Li family!" Lin's chest rose and fell, and her beautiful eyes were full of anxiety and anger.

Fuzi bowed his head and echoed: "Miss is still young, and her mind is not careful enough, so it's good for you to give advice, madam." ”

Lin took a deep breath, he had calmed down a little, and he was quite satisfied with Fuzi's loyalty, "It's good that you can come and report to Mrs. Ben, so it seems that it is indeed wise for Mrs. Ben to point you to serve Ling'er." ”

Fuzi didn't dare to take credit, and his posture became more and more humble for a while. "The slave has the favor of the lady, and now it is the duty of the slave to serve the lady carefully. ”

The Lin family gave another instruction, and what he said was nothing more than to tell him to serve Xue Qiaoling for a good life, and if there was any change, he would have to come to report it as soon as possible.

Fuzi nodded yes again and again, and then respectfully retreated.

Hibiscus Garden

Xue Hainiang, who 'escaped', was already out of breath when she returned to Furong Garden, and her jade face like mutton fat and jade showed a little weak whiteness.

The calm and composited look in front of Xue Qiaoling before was what she tried her best to disguise, the purpose was not to make Xue Qiaoling suspicious.

A Xue Qiaoling, coupled with the little girl Fuzi who seems to be thin but actually quite skilled, if it weren't for her previous threat, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to return to this Furong Garden.

After thinking about it, Xue Hainiang had already walked into the house.

"Sea Ladyβ€”"

The amiable and gentle female voice came into her ears, and she immediately recalled Xue Hainiang's fugue thoughts.

Xue Hainiang turned sideways and saw Li standing in front of the door with a tray and smiling gently.

Where is the deepest memory of the mother's mother who is so bright and beautiful now, now that I think about it, she was really unfilial in her previous life, so she gradually forgot the appearance of her mother when she was young after entering the palace.

She can't forget the last time she saw her before her mother's death in her previous life - her mother hoped that she would return to the door several times, but she never took her mother to heart because of the plan to usurp the throne for Nan Jiuxi.

The mother couldn't, so she had to enter Nan Jiuxi's mansion to meet her, if she was more careful that day, she would definitely be able to find that the mother's body had already shown signs of decay at that time.

Later, she received the news that her mother had died of illness.

Thinking of this, Xue Hainiang's beautiful eyes were already dyed with a layer of tears, and the corners of her eyes slipped quietly.

"Hai Niang, my mother stewed your favorite lotus seed and lily soup, hurry up and eat it while it's hot. With that, the Li family had already stepped into the inner hall.

Xue Hainiang hurriedly turned around, wiped away her tears, and turned around again, already with a happy face.

Xue Hainiang jumped into Li's arms, gently hugged Li's slender waist, and rubbed her cheeks against her.

Li couldn't cry or laugh because of her childish behavior, smiled indulgently, put the lotus seed lily soup on the pineapple wood coffee table, sat down on the pineapple chair, and pulled Xue Hainiang to her side and sat down by the way.

"You, you, how old are you, you are still like a child, when you enter the palace, it is no better than at home, you can't be so squeamish. Li took Xue Hainiang into his arms in distress, and stroked her black and bright hair with a warm palm.

Xue Hainiang said with a smile: "Now in front of my mother, Hainiang is naturally a child, and when she enters the palace in the future, she naturally abides by the rules." ”

Li only thinks that she is purely casually talking about it, how she doesn't know the flesh and blood that fell from her body, although Hai Niang is older than Qiao Ling, but her heart is still simple, yes, Li is afraid that she will be bullied when she enters the palace draft, especially the palace has many rules, and she is afraid that she will not be able to stand it.

"After a while, it will be a family banquet in the house, you have to be more restrained, don't lose your sense of proportion in front of the old man and the old lady. Li did not forget to mention a few words.

Xue Hainiang was slightly slight, and it took a while to come to her senses.

She actually forgot that the Lantern Festival will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and every Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xue Mansion will hold a family banquet, and no matter who in the mansion has to participate in the grand participation.

In the past, Xue Qiaoling couldn't wait to overpower Xue Hainiang at such a major family banquet, just to steal the limelight of her eldest daughter and win the old lady and Master Xue's other eyes.

The Li family has nothing to do except for Xue Hainiang, the eldest daughter, because it is not valued by the old lady and the old man Xue, and the Li family is already old and yellow, and the elegance is no longer there, so it is naturally far inferior to the concubine Lin who has always paid attention to maintenance and has white skin and beautiful appearance.

Although both of them gave birth to a daughter, Master Xue's mind was biased towards the Lin family from beginning to end.

But fortunately, although it is biased, it will not spoil the concubine and kill the wife, yes, in recent years, although the Lin family is arrogant, although the concubine Xue Qiaoling is arrogant, she still does not dare to exceed half a point of etiquette on the surface.

"My mother is too worried, Hai Niang is not small, Hai Niang can share her worries for her mother, Hai Niang will definitely protect her mother and not let her mother be bullied. Xue Hainiang hugged Li's waist, which had become more and more delicate in recent years, and her tone became more and more firm.

"You, don't let my mother break my heart for you, my mother will be satisfied. Although he complained, the upturned corners of his mouth and the doting in his eyes fully demonstrated the happiness and joy of the Li family.
