Chapter 161: Blatant competition for favor
Although he has not been in the mansion for many years, Mrs. Xiao still knows the situation in the mansion very well. ,
Fang Rongru in the second room was afraid that she would be sick and didn't show up, Xiao Youduo was in the academy, and it would take time for him to rush back when he returned suddenly, so the lack of two people was understandable.
There was also a lack of two people on the big house, and Mrs. Xiao set her eyes on Xiao Mingzhu, and Grandma Sun would attach it to her ear to report and explain.
Xiao Keren and Xiao Xuanbao did not appear, the eldest son Xiao Yuan was not in the mansion all the year round, and the eldest daughter-in-law, the county lord of Rouping, did not discipline the children of the big house.
Thinking of this, Old Taijun Xiao couldn't help but sink his face, and the county lord of Rouping and Xiao Liao noticed that the two of them were indifferent and happy.
Mama Sun has followed Mrs. Xiao for many years, and she will understand her look, she stepped forward and bowed slightly: "County Lord, the people from the big house have not arrived, is there any reason?" ”
"The old lady doesn't know yet, the seventh lady of the big house that the sister-in-law just brought back was given the title of 'Baoning County Lord' by the emperor, and the rising tide lifts the boat, and the identity is different, so she naturally does what she wants." Xiao Liao said first.
"The second uncle doesn't know anything, and he shouldn't be lying in front of his grandmother." Xiao Kexiao stood up and bowed, "Grandmother, Xuanbao has entered the palace." ”
Xiao Liao snorted coldly: "I entered the palace early in the morning, and I haven't heard of her summoned by the palace before." ”
"Mother, the emperor summoned Xuanbao, and early in the morning, His Royal Highness personally came to pick her up and enter the palace." The Rouping County Lord glanced at Xiao Liao out of the corner of his eye.
"The sister-in-law's love for her daughter is admirable, and in order to protect Xuanbao, she does not hesitate to lie in front of her mother." Xiao Liao sneered, "What kind of character is the Second Highness?" He will come and pick people up in person. ”
Xiao Kexiao couldn't help but scolded: "The second uncle is not clear about the affairs in the mansion, if you don't believe it, just ask the little guy in the mansion, the royal carriage stopped at the door, and the second highness personally went to Lingyun Yuan to pick up Xuanbao, and there were many people who saw it." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's expression softened a little, and Xiao Liao didn't stop being slapped in the face.
"What about Xiao Keren? I heard from someone who saw him just now. ”
The county lord of Rouping has a hard time, but she doesn't dare to say that she will let Xiao Keren report the news by herself, and let Xuanbao go to her mother to avoid the limelight.
"The old lady returned home, someone was a thief, and he slipped away." Xiao Liao gloated
Old Taijun Xiao smiled at the reassuring smile of the county lord of Rouping, turned her head and glared at Xiao Liao: "Okay, Ke Xiao is right, you don't know what is going on in the house." ”
"Mother." Xiao Liao shouted with a face full of grievances.
This call aroused Old Taijun Xiao's motherly heart, and she looked at the county lord of Rouping, and her expression became cold again.
The county lord of Rouping was stunned, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been for many years, and she thinks that she still understands the character of Mrs. Xiao, although she is strong, she is not an unreasonable old man.
It is not difficult to see from Mrs. Xiao's expression that she is angry, but what did she do wrong? The county lord of Rouping was really unsure, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.
At this time, the little maid outside reported: "Old lady Qi, the county lord of Baoning and the third prince have returned home." ”
How did Xuanbao come back? The eyes of the county lord of Rouping flashed with anxiety, and she glanced back at Mama Ying.
The master and servant had a clear mind, and Mama Ying sneaked out, but she didn't know that her actions were all in the eyes of Mama Sun, so she turned around and quietly told Mrs. Xiao.
It seems that Xiao Liao is right, Dafang is indeed a thief, Xiao Lao Taijun pressed her temperament, she didn't say a word and kept her face calm, and the atmosphere in the hall was suddenly unusually solemn.
About a cup of tea, there was a pleasant laughter outside, and those who were familiar with it knew that it was Xiao Keren and Xuanbao's as soon as they heard it.
The county lord of Rouping clutched his handkerchief tightly, why didn't Mama Ying stop the brother and sister, let them come in, and let them come in, and said that they came in with a smile, if they displeased the old lady, I was afraid that the two of them would be punished.
Mama Ying followed Xuanbao's side with a bitter face, just now she rushed out and stopped the third prince and the county lord, she never thought that these two would not listen to her at all, saying that the grandmother naturally wanted to visit her when she returned home, and she couldn't stop it.
"Mother, I heard that my grandmother is back." Xuan Bao's little short legs crossed the threshold, and his gaze swept around the hall, immediately locking on to Old Taijun Xiao.
This little doll has never played cards according to reason, Xiao Keren decisively reached out and grabbed her arm: "Xuanbao, I have met my grandmother with me." ”
The third brother is protecting himself, Xuan Bao looked at the old lady Xiao with a tense face, although she looked serious, maybe because of the blood relationship, she didn't feel afraid but inexplicably had a sense of intimacy.
Finding that Xiao Mingzhu, who was sitting next to her, didn't say anything, she looked like a mouse seeing a cat, and she shrunk into a ball, Xuanbao couldn't help but feel good.
"Hello grandmother."
Before everyone could react, Xuan Bao came to Old Taijun Xiao like a gust of wind.
The little doll tilted her head, blinked her big eyes, and looked up at herself with a smile, her eyes filled with a thick admiration that could not be dissolved.
To deal with the elderly, under normal circumstances, Xuanbao's trick is definitely a kill, who can resist a soft and cute little doll.
The people present, including Mrs. Xiao, were stunned, she has been a grandmother for more than 20 years, and no grandchild is not afraid of her, this little doll is different.
The reason why Mrs. Xiao is particularly good to Xiao Liao is because he is like a son in front of him, even if he is not confused now, he still needs her to worry about it, unlike Xiao Yuan, the eldest son who inherited the throne, she doesn't have to worry about anything.
But Xiao Liao is middle-aged after all, where is the little girl in front of him so cute and cute.
"Xuanbao, huh?" Mrs. Xiao rarely squeezed out a smile.
"Yes. Grandmother, forgive me, Xuanbao didn't know that you were going back to the house today, if I had known that I wouldn't be going anywhere, just wait at the house. The little doll muttered with a small mouth, "It's all the emperor's cousin." ”
"Ouch, good boy, don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Xiao said that she could smile instantly, which showed how beautiful she was in her heart.
Tong Yan is unscrupulous, the meaning of Xuanbao's words is obvious, Xiao Lao Taijun's grandmother is more important than the emperor.
Since the death of Old Marquis Xiao, Old Lady Xiao has laughed only a handful of times, and everyone was taken aback when they saw this.
Xiao Keren secretly sighed that no one could resist Xiao Xuanbao, even the serious grandmother was taken down when she saw it.
"Grandmother is partial." Xiao Minghu said sourly.
"Sister." Xiao Mingshan hurriedly pulled down Xiao Minghu's sleeve.
Xiao Liao didn't make a sound, but glanced at Xiao Minghu, he couldn't compete with Xuanbao for favor, and it was natural for his little daughter to stand up and compete for favor.
Xuan Bao grabbed Xiao Taijun's hand intentionally or unintentionally, and the little doll half-turned her body and smiled: "Sister Minghu, come on, grandmother has another hand, you can hold it." ”
Xiao Minghu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Who is fighting with you for your grandmother's hand?" ”
"Yay?" Xuan Bao looked confused, "Didn't you say that grandmother was eccentric?" Now you hold one hand, and I hold the other, isn't it fair? ”
