Mama Song also sensed the seriousness of the matter, and the old man had never snubbed Mrs. so much in the past.

Su Lan wrung her brows and said, "No, I'm afraid it's more than that, even if he annoys me and doesn't come, he shouldn't run to Heshoutang so diligently, it's too bad, Mama, that Xia Hanmo, it must be so!" ”

Mama Song also suddenly realized and said, "But...... Is Miss Xia really willing to be the master's concubine? ”

Hearing this, Su Lan said with an indignant face: "Didn't the old lady take her over because she planned to do so?" Otherwise, do you think that the old lady will take care of a relative who can't be beaten for no reason? It's so hateful, I actually took advantage of my pregnancy to want to secretly Chen Cang! ”

Mama Song held down Su Lan's excited body and said, "Why should Madam be nervous, even if she enters the door, she is just a concubine, and she doesn't have a son and a half daughter, can she still pass you?" ”

Su Lan felt faintly uneasy, she didn't say that she knew everything about the old lady's temperament, but she also knew about it, how could she simply stuff a concubine to Jiang Chao, she must have a plan.

Thinking of this, Su Lan suddenly got up and said coldly: "No, I must stop the old man from accepting that woman, then Xia Hanmo has the old lady as a backer, I'm afraid it's not so easy to handle, I can't allow anyone to threaten everything I have won so hard!" ”

Mama Song also felt that there was some truth, but she still said worriedly: "How do you stop it, if the old man has a crush on Miss Naxia, you can't stop it!" ”

Su Lan secretly hated, when she thought that she had finally married into the Jiang family and was favored, and now there was someone to share the favor with her, she felt as uncomfortable as rubbing salt in her heart, and gritted her teeth and said: "No matter what, I don't allow anyone to rob my lord with me, never allow!" ”

Seeing her like this, Mama Song knew that persuasion was useless, so she said randomly: "If Madam really doesn't want to let the master accept her, hurry up and find a way to stop it, I'm afraid it's too late!" ”

Mama Song is also planning in her heart, how to help Su Lan get rid of this threat.

Hearing this, Su Lan nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said: "I don't believe it, I and the master for more than ten years, will lose to a fledgling little slut, and it is not so easy to separate the affection between me and the master!" ”

Su Lan sat up, went to the dresser, and asked Mama Song to help her dress up, because of the cultivation of the past few days, although her face was still a little pale, but with rouge and blush, she was still charming and moving.

I have to say that even though Su Lan is nearly thirty years old, she is still moving, her skin is as white as snow, her eyes are affectionate, and she has the graceful beauty of a Jiangnan woman, that is because her biological mother is a Jiangnan girl.

"Mama, go and invite the master to come, just say that I have something to discuss with him!"

Su Lan smiled lightly and said, Jiang Chao must be allowed to come to her courtyard today, and only by regaining his heart can he be prevented from approaching other women.

Mama Song took the order and left, preparing to go straight to Jiang Chao's study to invite someone, if it was late, I was afraid that he would go to Heshoutang again, and then there would be no chance.

Every afternoon, Jiang Chao will definitely deal with some official business in the study, or read books, under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to disturb, so when Mama Song came, Steward Li, who was guarding the door, stopped her and smiled and refused Mama Song's idea of disturbing Jiang Chao.

Mama Song frowned, put on an unhappy expression and said, "Steward Li, Madam has something important to see the master, don't delay me!" ”

"Mama, the master has explained, there is something important to deal with today, no one is allowed to disturb it, you better wait and talk about it first!"

Steward Li has always been a person Jiang Chao trusts, so he doesn't eat Su Lan's set, he is only loyal to Jiang Chao.

Although Mama Song was angry, she didn't dare to really disobey Jiang Chao's intentions, otherwise she would anger him, and she was afraid that Su Lan's plan would be ruined, so she endured it and flattered: "Bother Steward Li to go in and spread the word to see if it is convenient for the master to go to the second aunt's courtyard!" ”

Seeing that her attitude was a little better, Steward Li nodded and said, "Then you wait here, I'll ask the master before I talk about it!" ”

Mama Song naturally didn't dare to trespass, so she could only guard outside, and after a while, she didn't wait for Steward Li, but saw Xia Hanmo coming over with the maid next to the old lady carrying a food box.

Xia Hanmo saw Mama Song, nodded, and greeted her with a smile: "I didn't expect Mama Song to be there, my aunt made some snacks, and I came to give them to the master to taste!" ”

Mama Song never expected Xia Hanmo to come to the study, and looking at her appearance, it seemed that it was not the first time she had come, and she was familiar with it, as if she was already Jiang Chao's woman.

Mama Song didn't show up in the interview, but she was already unhappy in her heart, but she didn't expect that this Miss Cousin, who seemed to be knowledgeable, was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she stabbed with a smile: "It's really annoying girl, after all, these are things that people should do, how can the old lady let Miss Cousin do such a thing?" Why don't you just hand it over to the slave and let the slave and maid send it in? ”

Xia Hanmo listened to her meaning, and secretly ridiculed herself as a slave who served people, and her heart suddenly became uncomfortable, biting her lower lip, and said aggrievedly: "I am just an orphan girl who came to Jiang Mansion to defect, although my aunt feels sorry for me, but I can't just be too high, it is my blessing to be able to do something for my aunt, grandma said such a thing, doesn't it make me embarrassed?" ”

Seeing that Xia Hanmo was humiliated, the maidservant on the side naturally couldn't help but help, so she said without yin or yang: "Mama is too big, when will it be your turn to put your beak in the matter of the old lady?" Doesn't Mama feel that if she has face in front of her wife, she can intervene in the affairs of the whole house, and even manage the affairs of the master? ”

Mama Song's face was blue and white for a while when the maid said, but she didn't dare to refute, so she said curtly: "Don't dare, I just think that Miss Xia is a guest after all, how can you let the guest come to serve the master, say it, people treat Miss Xia harshly as our family!" ”

The maidservant sneered and said, "This doesn't bother Mama, since the girl came to the house, she is her own family, and she is not a guest!" She is sympathetic to the old lady and the old man, but it is just a gesture, how can you say that the old lady treats the girl harshly? ”

"Mama is serious, I really feel embarrassed to say this, I am willing to share my aunt and cousin's worries, how can this little thing be regarded as harsh on me?" Xia Hanmo also echoed at the right time.

Mama Song listened to the two of her singing and harmonizing, so she put out the intention of arguing, and only hoped that Steward Li would come out soon, so that she could invite the master to the lady's courtyard to see how they could send snacks!

It just so happened that Steward Li came out, saw Xia Hanmo first, and said with a smile: "Miss Cousin is here, but is there something?" ”

"It's not a big deal, my aunt asked me to bring some snacks to my cousin, I'm afraid that he will be hungry in the afternoon to deal with official business!" Xia Hanmo smiled lightly at Steward Li, her voice was soft, and the people who listened to it were comfortable.

Steward Li has always known how to observe words and feelings, and this Xia Hanmo is not the first time to come back to the study, looking at the master's attitude, he knows that he is interested in this cousin, and naturally he will not do such things that make the master unhappy, so he said: "It's just right, the master just said that he was a little hungry, Miss Cousin should send it in quickly!" ”

Xia Hanmo smiled gratefully at Steward Li, and was about to go in, when Mama Song saw this, she hurriedly asked, "Steward Li, can you talk to the master?" ”

Seeing Mama Song's appearance, Steward Li restrained the smile on her face, and said lukewarmly: "Mama Song, go back, the master is busy, and said that he will visit the second lady when the matter is dealt with, so that the second lady can recuperate!" ”

Mama Song was annoyed by Steward Li's different attitudes, Steward Li's attitude naturally represented Jiang Chao's attitude, it seems that the old man is really annoyed with Madame, so he will avoid it, she can't break in, she can only hurry back and let Su Lan find a way again.

Xia Hanmo saw Mama Song leaving in a hurry, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, wanting to stop herself from approaching her cousin, and she didn't see if she had that ability, but fortunately, Jiang Wanxiu reminded her today, so she came to the study before her cousin was invited away by Mama Song.

However, from this, she also knew that Jiang Wanxiu was exquisite, but as long as she was on her side, it would be beneficial and harmless, anyway, there was no conflict between herself and Jiang Wanxiu, and it was the people in the second room who they had to fight against in unison.

Xia Hanmo entered the study, first saluted Jiang Chao obediently, and said with a soft smile: "Cousin, you should be hungry, the old lady asked me to bring you a snack, you can taste it!" ”

As soon as Jiang Chao saw Xia Hanmo, he smiled, got up and took the food box in her hand, and said with a smile: "There is Cousin Lao, I am hungry, you are here, it is really like timely rain!" ”

Xia Hanmo lowered her head, slightly ashamed, Jiang Chao looked at her with burning eyes, so that she couldn't help but feel like a deer, I have to say that Jiang Chao is a beautiful man.

Jiang Chao saw her shy and cowardly appearance, his heart was hot, and he hated that he had to take her into his arms regardless of etiquette, but because the maid was still on the side, and he was afraid that he would surprise the beauty, he endured this impulse, opened the food box, and ate a piece of almond crisp to divert his attention.

Xia Hanmo saw that he was happy to eat, so she didn't bother, and looked at the furnishings in the study by herself, the paintings hanging on the wall attracted her attention, and she went over to admire it with great interest.

Seeing this, Jiang Chao asked, "My cousin also likes to paint?" ”

"Well, when I was at home in the past, my father also loved to collect paintings, but it was not as precious as my cousin here, the artistic conception of this painting is really beautiful, it can be said that there are poems in the paintings, there are paintings in the poems, rare masterpieces!" Xia Hanmo praised sincerely.

When Jiang Chao heard this, the brilliance in his eyes was even worse, and he said in his heart that this cousin is really a knowledgeable and sentimental beauty, and he is still like-minded with himself, and it is really rare to know how to paint like this.

"If my cousin likes it, can I give you a few paintings another day?" Jiang Chao's gentle voice could almost squeeze out the water.

Xia Hanmo turned her head, looked at him with a smile, shook her head and said: "Thank you cousin for your kindness, but such a good painting must be worth a lot of money, how can I accept it casually, if my cousin is willing, he can let me appreciate one or two, Xinping is already satisfied!" ”

When Jiang Chao heard this, he felt that Xia Hanmo was not greedy for vanity, she had a noble character, and her love for her went deeper into her heart from her appearance.

"Well, I have a lot of paintings here, if you want, come and see it when you have time, and you can look at it for as long as you want!" Jiang Chao looked at her and said stupidly.

Xia Hanmo's face flushed when she saw this, and she couldn't help lowering her head, but she looked up at him with nostalgia, and this time her little daughter's delicate state was vividly displayed, making Jiang Chao almost unable to help herself.

He raised his eyes and looked at the maid standing in the distance, and saw that she was standing on the side with her eyes and nose, and did not pay attention to this, and knew that the old lady did not object to his matter with Xia Hanmo, so he couldn't help but walk over and hold Xia Hanmo's little hand.

Xia Hanmo nervously stepped back, looked behind her, and whispered, "Cousin......"
