"Miss, why are you lying to help Miss Fifth today? Won't you offend Miss Six?" Back at Qingqiu Pavilion, Liu Se couldn't help but ask Rong Wan, "We are already having a hard time in this mansion, if we offend that master, I am afraid that the future will be even more difficult." ”

Rong Wan shook her head slightly, took the tea she handed over, and said, "I know Rong Zhao can't afford to mess with him, but if I don't say that today, I will offend the second aunt." The water was cold, the tea leaves were not boiled, and it was difficult to swallow a sip, but she had long been accustomed to it, and none of the maids around her were dedicated except for the willow color.

Putting down the tea, she took out a golden hairpin from her sleeve, and touched the beaded flowers on it with her fingers, "The second aunt is the aunt and grandmother of the Lin family, if I want to marry Zhong Xuan, I can't blame her, and I am helpless." ”

Liu Se sighed dejectedly, "Miss is about to be eighteen, but Madame has not intended to marry Miss for a long time." Now that Miss is finally with Young Master Lin, she has found a home. If you lose this marriage because of the second wife, it will be too worthless. ”

Rong Wan raised her head to resist the tears that she wanted to shed, "My aunt and I have been bullied in this mansion, if we can marry Zhong Xuan, we may be able to get rid of this fate." ”

She raised her head sharply and stared at Liu Se, there was a scorching flame in her eyes, and she grabbed her hand tightly, "Liu Se, I'm not reconciled, just because I'm a concubine, so I deserve to be at the mercy of others? ”

After a pause, he took a slight breath, "Although the Lin family is not a relative of the emperor, it is also a high-ranking family, Zhong Xuan is the eldest son and grandson, and the Lin family will be his in the future." If I marry him, why should I look at other people's faces everywhere like I do now? Although I offended Rong Zhao this time, I sold it to my second aunt, and I don't think she will embarrass me too much in the future. ”

Liu Se's face showed a look of injustice, and said: "But where is the second lady who has a good memory, I'm afraid that she still thinks that you are afraid of her." ”

She understands Miss's suffering, but the second lady is usually a bitter and mean lord, how could she look down on Miss because of this matter. What she is worried about now is Miss Six, Miss Six is like a Buddha in this mansion, who dares to provoke her? Now that Miss offends her, she may be retaliated against.

Liu Se couldn't think about how Rong Wan was, of course she knew what kind of person the second lady was, and she knew what kind of means Rong Zhao had.

She closed her eyes lightly and said, "I can only make a bet, if I win the bet, I have hope, if I lose, it's a big deal to be trampled under Rong Zhao's feet." Laughing slightly, Rong Wan's voice was low and slow, "Anyway, I'm already like this, are you afraid of being stepped on by her even worse?"

The eyes that are lightly closed under the eyelids are as dark as a deep pool under the ancient well, and the waves are turbulent under the calm waves. If you open your eyes at this time, you can see the blazing* bursting out of her eyes, and the gloomy coldness that cannot be hidden.

The next day, Mrs. Rong summoned everyone to her Heng Du Zhai, who knew that it was so coincidental that Rong Zhao and Rong Wan walked in the verandah to meet. Rong Wan smiled timidly at Rong Zhao, "Sixth sister." Her voice was as gentle as ever.

Because of yesterday's incident, Rong Zhao was still angry, and when he saw where she still had a good face, he snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Sister, yesterday I thought you and Rong Qing were sisters." ”

Rong Wan's face changed slightly, her expression was very embarrassed, her fingers kneaded the fur on her clothes, her bright eyes were rippling like water, and she wanted to cry, "Sixth sister, don't be angry with me, I was really afraid of causing unnecessary disputes yesterday." You also know that the second aunt is unforgiving, if I tell the truth, then she will definitely say that the two of us will join forces to bully Rong Qing, and we will definitely make trouble with the old lady. Yesterday was my grandmother's birthday, and I really didn't want to bother her about it. ”

Rong Zhao frowned, looking at her with a little surprise in her eyes, she was surprised that Rong Wan was so good at talking, and she said it so beautifully, why didn't she find it in her last life.

Although surprised, Rong Zhao has always been arrogant, even if he knew that she would become the princess of Chu in the future, he still didn't take her seriously. In her opinion, not to mention that Rong Wan is the princess of Chu, even if she still becomes a queen like in her previous life, she is just a down-and-out sparrow who has become a pheasant, and she can't become a phoenix after all.

"Angry with you? You're a concubine, and you're not qualified to make me angry. Rong Zhao's contemptuous gaze removed from her, brushed her shoulders and walked towards Heng Duzhai, walked a few steps, she paused at her feet, and said with a sideways face: "But if you play tricks with me again, you don't want to have a good life in the mansion." ”

Looking at Rong Zhao's back, Rong Wan was stunned for a long time, her fists clenched tightly, bursting out of white bone joints.

"Miss, Miss?" or Liu Se called her a few times before she came back to her senses, "Let's go in quickly, don't make the old lady wait for a long time." ”

Rong Wan nodded, didn't say anything, and followed into Hengduzhai.

In a short time, Mrs. Rong's room was full of people. This time, Mrs. Rong called all the people in the big room and the second room, and even the aunt in the two rooms was not left behind.

"The old lady called us all here today, I don't know what it was for?" Lin was wearing a garnet-red brocade jacket, a fallen horse bun, and a golden hairpin and emerald hairpin. Seeing that everyone had arrived, she didn't want to waste any more time, so she asked.

When they asked this, everyone looked at Mrs. Rong.

Mrs. Rong put down the tea, wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, glanced at the eldest lady Gao, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the New Year is coming now, and I want to discuss some things with you." ”

Gao's eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a hint of imperceptible arrogance on his face, "Old lady, don't worry, I have been taking care of the Hou Mansion for so many years, and the things of the New Year are the same as in previous years." She muttered in a low voice, very disdainful, "What is there to discuss with you." ”

The distance between her and Mrs. Rong is not far, and she listens clearly, although she is unhappy, but Mrs. Rong just pretends not to hear it, the smile on her lips is kind and kind, and she only said: "You are taking care of the Hou Mansion well, but this year is different from previous years, the official position of the third child is transferred back to Beijing, and their family will come back from Yizhou a year ago, and there will be one more person in this mansion." ”

"I remember in my heart that my third brother will come back before the New Year's Festival. "This old lady turned out to be thinking about her son. Gao secretly pouted, but said: "Don't worry, when the third brother comes back, I will take care of them, and I will not be wronged." ”

"That being said. Lin vaguely guessed what Mrs. Rong meant, smiled on his lips, and interjected: "One more person is not more than one more pair of chopsticks, but one more room is different, I don't know how many things will happen." Sister-in-law, I'm really afraid that you won't be able to do it alone. ”
