Outside the house, Qu Tianwan stood upright, not daring to slack off at all.

"Miss, this is too much!" Shuangshui stood impatiently and spoke while wiping his sweat.

"Be careful with what you say and do." Qu Tianwan shook her head at Shuangshui, and immediately stood up again.

She is domineering, and she is not stupid, so she naturally knows the stakes of this matter.

After standing for another half an hour, Qu Tianwan gasped for breath with a dry mouth, and her face was covered with sweat.

She usually stretches out her hands in clothes and opens her mouth when she eats, when has she ever suffered this kind of grievance.

"Miss Qu, my wife has just finished being busy, and she has been lazy, please forgive me, please." Xiao Yun Chong Qu Tianwan bent down slightly, and her words were extremely polite.

"That's nature," Qu Tian smiled gracefully, holding her maid without a trace, and entered the house with some difficulty.

"Miss Qu, meet again," Cheng Shuiyao said as she asked Xiaoyun to serve tea, and her tone was quite polite.

Qu Tianwan knew that Cheng Shuiyao was nodding herself, so she smiled a little embarrassedly, and hurriedly spoke, "I have offended a lot before, and I ask Mrs. Cheng to forgive me." ”

Cheng Shuiyao raised her eyebrows, smiled undeniably, and gently lifted the teacup and blew.

"My father also educated me when I heard about this, I already know that I was wrong, and I also want to make amends when I come here," Qu Tianwan couldn't figure out Cheng Shuiyao's psychology, and hurriedly looked at Shuangshui and said, "Don't go and bring up the things I prepared." ”

Shuangshui hurriedly said yes and went to hug a brocade box and came back.

In the box, there is a night pearl the size of Cheng Shuiyao's fist, which looks crystal round and is definitely worth a lot.

"Miss Qu, what do you mean?" Cheng Shuiyao only glanced at it before retracting her gaze, gently put down the teacup, and raised her eyes to look at Qu Tianwan.

A pair of good-looking eyes were not shocked, and they didn't seem to be moved by the pearl of the night.

"This ......" Qu Tianwan hesitated for a moment and hesitated to speak, "Mrs. Cheng is extremely beautiful, I feel that this night pearl is very flattering to you, so I ......"

"Then thank you Miss Qu for your kindness," Cheng Shui Yao smiled, and turned to let Shuangshui close the box, "It's just that this thing is too precious, I can't afford it." ”

Qu Tianwan didn't expect Cheng Shuiyao not to accept it, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while, pinching the corners of her clothes and getting entangled.

"Yesterday's incident is just a trivial matter, Miss Qu must have learned a lesson," Cheng Shuiyao walked to Qu Tianwan's side lightly, peeled off the broken hair around her eyes for her, and said with a light smile, "As long as Miss Qu can correct it in the future." ”

Qu Tianwan looked at Cheng Shuiyao in a daze, not knowing what to say.

"I still have something to do, so I won't leave Miss Qu much, we'll see you at the palace banquet tomorrow, Xiaoyun, send off guests," Cheng Shuiyao sat back in her seat, her tone very soft.

"Then I'll take my leave," Qu Tianwan curtsied, and then was sent out by Xiaoyun.

Seeing Qu Tianwan's figure disappear at the door, Cheng Shuiyao shook her neck and hid the smile on her face.

Qu Tianwan came to show her favor this time, naturally she did not recognize her mistakes, but surrendered according to the meaning of Master Qu.

Otherwise, how could such a big night pearl be taken out by Qu Tianwan?

Cheng Shuiyao was slightly stunned, and her fingers lightly buckled the table.

Half-ringing, Cheng Shuiyao smiled, as if she had thought of something.

"Xiaoyun," Cheng Shuiyao raised her eyebrows and waved at Xiaoyun, "Go find Moqi and ask him to help me inquire about the true intentions of tomorrow's palace banquet." ”

"Oh," Xiao Yun nodded, with a little more smile in his eyes for no reason, and hurriedly came here.

"Madam," Uncle Wang suddenly entered the door, holding a stack of posts in his hand, "The news of your return has spread, and many ladies and ladies have handed over posts and want to invite Madame over." ”

"So much?" The corners of Cheng Shuiyao's eyes twitched slightly, and she took it and took a look.

She has just returned to Beijing, and naturally some people want to explore her details, but there are many people who don't need to have a relationship.

Cheng Shuiyao picked out some of them and handed them to Uncle Wang, and slowly spoke, "These are what I'm going to, you can prepare gifts as appropriate, but don't be too public." ”

"Yes," Uncle Wang glanced at the post picked out by Cheng Shuiyao, and probably had a number in his heart, so he went down to prepare a gift.

After finishing these things, Cheng Shuiyao was clear for a while.

In the harem at this time, the queen half leaned on the concubine's collapse, and the palace maid took care of her nails in late autumn.

"Niangniang," Chuqiu stepped in and handed the queen the things in his hand.

The queen casually read the note and threw it directly into the brazier.

"Niangniang, Prime Minister, this is ......" Chu Qiu said cautiously, unable to figure out the queen's thoughts.

"He wants this palace to make a stumbling block for Xiao Ji and his wife, hmph," the queen sat up straight, raised her hand to look at her well-cultivated nails, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "What does this palace do and need him to ask?" ”

"What does that lady mean......" Wanqiu frowned and subconsciously asked.

"Hmph," the queen snorted coldly, "the prime minister's hand is so long now, how can this palace do what he wants?" Give me an order, tomorrow's palace banquet must be kind to Xiao Ji and his wife, if the two of them make a mistake, the palace will ask you. ”

"Yes," Late Autumn and Early Autumn nodded directly in response, and went down to convey the matter.

The queen sat alone in the palace, pondering for a while, before suddenly laughing.

She didn't believe it, with her Wen Shuyan protection, Xiao Ji and his wife could still have an accident.

At the same time, in the nameless alley, Xiao Ji stood up, looking at the killers in front of him who were cowering and did not dare to step forward, with a disdainful smile on his face.

"Who sent you?" Xiao Ji put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "Your master doesn't think about it, just rely on you, hurt me in the slightest?" ”

This......

The killers looked at each other, nodded suddenly, and hurried out of the area.

Xiao Ji didn't chase after him, and stood calmly in place, waiting for them to go away.

"Whose person is this?" Xiao Zhenheng walked out from not far away, looked at the direction where the killer disappeared, and raised his eyebrows to look at Xiao Ji.

"I don't know," Xiao Ji shook his head, "but he doesn't look like a prime minister." ”

How could this old fox, the prime minister, put such a bunch of waste to kill him?

"It looks like there are still people who are jealous of us," Xiao Zhenheng dragged out his tone, and there was some emotion in his words.

The Xiao family has a big business, and they have made many enemies over the years, so it is reasonable to be remembered by others.

"Don't mention this, let's go back quickly!" Xiao Ji saw that his father was about to start humming without illness again, so he hurriedly stopped him, "Shui Yao will be in a hurry." ”

Okay.

Xiao Zhenheng saw that this kid couldn't leave Cheng Shuiyao in three sentences, so he closed his mouth directly and went home with Xiao Ji.

At home, Cheng Shuiyao brought out plates of good dishes from the misty kitchen, and the rich aroma made the people in the family stop.
