The voice of the subordinate broke the somewhat awkward and delicate atmosphere in the lobby.

Old Madam Chu's face suddenly became very delicate, "Why are they here at this time?"

"Grandmother, actually..."Hearing Old Madam Chu's words, Chu Li hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, today in Zuixiang Building, we met the two brothers and sisters of the Xie family. also has some relationship with the Xie family brothers and sisters. ”

When Old Madam Chu heard this, she looked at Chu Fengci quietly.

"Grandmother, it's true. Chu Fengci didn't think that Old Madam Chu liked to be suspicious before, maybe because of her reliving a lifetime, she was very sensitive to everything, and a lot of Old Madam Chu's thoughts actually made her aware of it, "However, in my opinion, this is just a misunderstanding that is not very beautiful." ”

Old Madam Chu was silent when she heard her words.

Aunt Mo Fang beside her reminded in time, "Old lady, the brothers and sisters of the Xie family are still waiting in the outer hall, look..."

"Do you know what they're here for?"

"Old lady, this isn't..."Aunt Mo Fang said this, leaning close to the old lady's ear and whispering: "It's not you who sent a message to Xie Fu and asked them to come over..."

When Aunt Mo Fang said this, the old lady suddenly remembered, coughed uncomfortably, and pretended to be serious.

She glanced at the little maid who came to pay her respects, and ordered, "You go and tell Gongzi Xie and Miss Xie to wait in the hall for a while, and the old man will come immediately." ”

"Yes, old lady. ”

After the little maid finished speaking, she was about to leave after the farewell ceremony, and the old lady stopped her, "You will serve people well, if the guests are a little uncomfortable, I will only ask you!"

"Yes. ”

The little maid saluted again and retreated tremblingly.

"Grandmother, the matter of the sixth sister..."Chu Li saw that the old lady was sorting out her own clothes, thinking of Chu Liu, she didn't know what she was thinking, and asked, "What should I do now?"

"What should I do?" the old lady's face turned cold, "Naturally, I am looking for a young lady from Chu Mansion, I want to see people in life and corpses in death!"

"But..."Chu Li's face was entangled, "Grandmother, the people in the courtyard of the sixth sister are gone, how to go and find it?"

"That's not what you should be concerned about, Li'er, what you have to do now is to appease Aunt Liu for me, so that she doesn't make any trouble!" After the old lady finished speaking, she walked out with the support of Aunt Mo Fang, and suddenly stopped when she passed by Chu Fengci, "Xiao Ci, you come out with me." ”

"Yes, Grandmother. ”

Chu Fengci suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and took Xueyue to walk towards the hall with Old Madam Chu.

Chu Li was left alone in the lobby awkwardly, and it was not to keep up, nor was it to stay.

Her face was very calm, and the hand covered under her wide jacket was clenched into a fist, and she didn't even notice that her nails were digging into her flesh.

Her maidservant noticed her mood fluctuations, and when she saw that there was no one around, she whispered to her: "Miss, the old lady is too much, how can she ignore you again and again? Obviously, you are the smartest and most capable person in this house, she..."

"Red Sleeves, don't talk nonsense. Chu Li secretly suppressed the tumbling emotions in her heart and stopped her loudly, "No matter what the old lady does, no matter what the old lady does, she has her measurements and plans." She is the most respectable elder in this mansion, and I don't allow you to say that about her!"

"Miss..."Red Sleeves complained for Chu Li, "You are too kind-hearted, if you are so kind-hearted again, in the eyes of slaves, the weakest one in the house will be... It's been deceived to you. ”

The weakest one in the mansion, Red Sleeves didn't say it thoroughly, but Chu Li and her master and servant were like mirrors in their hearts.

The one who is recognized as the best bully and the weakest in this mansion is undoubtedly Chu Fengci.

Chu Li weighed it and said softly: "Red sleeves, these words, don't talk nonsense outside in the future." Grandmother values the harmony and friendship of the sisters in the house the most, and the seventh sister is not the kind of person you said. No matter what others say, we just need to be ourselves. ”

"Miss..."

"Don't say anything. Chu Li interrupted her words, thinking of the old lady's command just now, she cleared her throat and said, "Let's go, let's go to Aunt Liu's yard and have a look." ”

With that, she turned and walked out of the lobby, the weakness in her eyes disappearing, replaced by a deeply hidden calculation.

Red Sleeves looked at Chu Li's back, a touch of darkness crossed his eyes, and then followed.

......

Vestibule.

Old Madam Chu took Chu Fengci to greet Xie Heng and Xie Xingwen a few words, and then several people sat down and began to drink tea, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.

In the end, it was Xie Heng who opened his mouth to break the silence in the hall.

"Old lady, I, Xie Heng, am a straight person, and I took the liberty to visit today to exchange relatives. ”

"Gongzi Xie has thought about it?" This matter was obviously brought up by Mrs. Chu first, but at this time, Mrs. Chu seemed to have just learned about it, and she was talking to a junior, "There is only one concubine in our house, if you want to change relatives, you can only choose a concubine." ”

Xie Xingwen sat on the side, very disdainful of what Old Madam Chu had done.

She looked at Chu Fengci, who was sitting in the corner eating tea quietly, and thought of the possible ending that Chu Fengci might have after being pushed by Old Madam Chu and her brother Xie Heng to the second prince of Western Chu, her heart was even more unhappy.

So, before Xie Heng opened his mouth to speak, he began to deliberately embarrass Old Madam Chu, "Brother, this person is introverted and embarrassed to speak, but I, who is a sister, can't watch him marry a concubine!"

"Xingwen, you..." Xie Heng frowned, but heard Xie Xingwen directly slap Old Madam Xie in the face, "Old Madam Chu, this matter of changing relatives was proposed by your Chu family, this is your fault, there is no reason for you to change us to a worse one than Chu Fengci." ”

"It's really my Chu Mansion that is at fault. When Old Madam Chu heard Xie Xingwen's words, she only frowned slightly, "However, the matter of changing relatives is not the wish of my Chu Mansion, and my Chu Mansion also has a last resort, and I ask Miss Xie and Gongzi Xie to forgive me."

If Xie Mansion is unwilling to marry my Chu Mansion again, and wants to withdraw from the marriage directly, my Chu Mansion will have nothing to say. It's just..."

The old lady said, suddenly wiping away tears, "Pity my family Xiaoqi, she will be divorced and ruined her reputation at a young age, and then she will be engaged or even married to such a person, she has been raised in the palm of my hand since she was a child, but in the end..."

Hearing this, Xie Xingwen couldn't help but glance at Chu Fengci, and the sympathy in his eyes was even worse. Even Xie Heng, who had always been disgusted with Chu Fengci, had a trace of unbearability in his eyes.

Chu Fengci saw the reactions of several people in his eyes, his slightly drooping eyebrows and eyes crossed a dark light of unknown meaning, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of mockery.

Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy!
