It's early morning.

Wang Xifeng brushed her face in front of the old lady, then returned home gloomily. She took off her clothes and jewelry that were brighter than usual, kicked the charcoal basin in front of the bed, and then lay down lazily on it.

Accompanied by long sighs, she first laid Guanyin on her side, then looked up at the stars, and then turned her butt outwards, rolling it over and over for a long time like a pancake. The evil fire in her heart was a bit brighter than the red charcoal fire.

She originally hoped that the old lady would "justice", but after observing it over the past few days, it was clear that the old lady was pretending to be confused, and except for a few insinuations and explanations, there was nothing more to say.

As expected, you still have to rely on yourself!

Just when she was crossing her two plump long legs so many times, Ping'er suddenly opened the door and walked in. He handed her the coat she had taken off and said: "Grandma, get up quickly.

, Siqi is here."

"Siqi?"

Wang Xifeng got up in a hurry, and put her little white feet into her shoes unconsciously, but she pretended to be disgusted and said: "Come here, just let her wait outside. Doesn't my aunt still have to go to greet her?"

After saying that, he stood up and quickly put his arms into his sleeves.

Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Ping'er couldn't help but secretly laugh, but he didn't show anything. He just silently took the jewelry and put it on her head.

Before going out, Wang Xifeng specially put on makeup and powder, and after making sure that she was looking radiant and not showing any signs of slump, she went outside with her head held high.

"Second Grandma."

When Si Qi saw her coming out, he hurriedly bowed to greet her.

However, Wang Xifeng ignored him and went straight to the Arhat bed to sit down. Then he raised his hand and asked calmly: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Siqi immediately said bluntly: "When our father went to Sifang Street yesterday, he happened to get news about the fleet sent by the imperial court. It was said that it had passed through some canal in the middle of last month - and from then on, it was all foreign devils who were familiar with it.

There won’t be any big storms or waves in our country.”

"Furthermore, I heard that because we forced the Wuxi Kingdom to sign an alliance under the city, the foreign devils are eager for our Daxia things these days. Plus, with the identity of Mr. Shijia as a guarantor, I am afraid that this trip will be a big profit.

Got it!"

"really?!"

Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up when she heard this. For her, this was rare good news recently.

However, after the brief excitement, she was not as happy as she had imagined. She had been greedy for money before, not to mention because she held power in her hands and had no room for improvement in a short time.

Now that I have lost my authority, I realize that the word power and wealth always means that power comes first and wealth comes last. Without authority, even if you get wealth, it will inevitably lose its taste.

Realizing this, Wang Xifeng became increasingly anxious.

So after sending Siqi away, she hurriedly called Zhao'er.

Like Lai Wang and his son, Zhao'er was a close confidant who came with her as a dowry. However, Zhao'er was more than ten years younger than Lai Wang and was not as smart and capable as Lai Wang. Therefore, he did not become a confidant like Lai Wang.

Instead, Wang Xifeng arranged him to serve as an eyeliner next to Jia Lian.

After Zhaoer entered the door, he immediately knelt down with a low eyebrow without saying a word.

But his cautious and respectful look not only did not satisfy Wang Xifeng, but instead he thundered loudly, slapping the table and scolding: "How many days has it been? Have you done all the things I arranged for you?"

?!"

Zhao'er shivered: "It's not that I'm trying to be perfunctory, it's just that this thing is not easy to handle..."

"Are you kidding me?!"

Wang Xifeng didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then grabbed the tea cup on the Kang table, threw it over her head and face, and said sternly: "You have been with your second master for so long, and you can't do serious things. Why do you do this?"

Aren’t you holding all the scraps and pieces in your hands? If you dare to push me away again, I’ll skin you if you look carefully!”

Zhao'er was so frightened that she didn't even dare to raise her hand to wipe away the dripping tea on her head. She hurriedly knocked her head on the ground and defended in a trembling voice: "How dare you deal with grandma? It's true that the second master is always far away these days.

The younger ones, Xing'er and the others are also wary of me. Naturally, they can't bring about their shameful things..."

Dang lang~

Wang Xifeng smashed the tea cup to the ground and smashed it into pieces: "You maggot-infested dog slave, you usually just coax your second master to fall down, but you dare to talk nonsense in front of me?! Don't you have long legs? Don't you have long legs?"

Mouth? Do those things just fall from the sky in the past?! I will give you two more days. If you still can’t get it, don’t come back and die outside as soon as possible!”

Seeing her like this, Zhao'er had no choice but to respond with fear, took two steps back on her knees, then carefully got up and stumbled out of the door.

When he got outside, he dared to wipe off the tea stems on his head with a handkerchief, but what couldn't be wiped away was the sadness on his face.

A few days ago, Wang Xifeng suddenly asked him to get some medicine, which frightened Zhaoer.

It would be okay if it was just something to cheer people up, but what the second mistress wants is the powerful medicine that can charm one's mind. For the housewife, this is a big taboo!

Besides, the second mistress couldn’t have used this thing to use it on some little maid, right? Needless to say, there must be a noble person involved behind this. If it is exposed in the future, I’m afraid she will be the first to bear the brunt!

But looking at Wang Xifeng's attitude today, if she refuses to find it for her, I'm afraid she won't get any good results either.

The more Zhaoer thought about it, the more miserable he became, and the more he thought about it, the harder it became to make a decision.

But it’s hard to find someone to discuss this matter...

etc!

Someone suddenly popped up in Zhao'er's head. If he went to ask him for advice, it shouldn't be a big deal.

It's just that at this time, the other party should not be at home, and I'm afraid he will have to wait until the evening to visit.

Let's go back and talk about the living room.

After Zhao'er left, Ping'er came in and saw the mess on the ground. He quickly brought a broom and other things to clean it up, and advised: "Even if grandma is unhappy, it's better not to get angry like this, otherwise the news will spread..."

"What's the point of spreading the word? Are there fewer people who are laughing at me these days?!"

Wang Xifeng interrupted her angrily and asked: "Do you know when aunt and the others are going to leave?"

"this……"

Ping'er thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the old lady wants to treat us at noon, so we should wait until the afternoon, right?"

"That's just right."

Wang Xifeng immediately ordered: "You will have your luggage packed now, and when aunt returns, we can go and relax too!"

Naturally, what she wanted to do was not to relax, but to lay the groundwork so that she would not be unable to find a good opportunity to make a move when the day was right.

Ping'er didn't doubt that he was there, thinking that instead of being bored in the house, it would be better for the second mistress to hide outside so that she could be out of sight and out of mind, so she agreed briskly and called the maids to prepare their luggage immediately.

While they were busy inside and outside, Lin Zhixiao's family hurriedly came looking for him again.

Wang Xifeng looked at her face and knew that she had something important to report, so she immediately backed away again.

When only the 'mother and daughter' were left in the house, Lin Zhixiao's family reported: "Godmother, these three girls are getting more and more amazing. They summoned us managers this morning and proposed to build the Grand View Garden."

Packaged in pieces, this not only reduces the pick-up fee, but also generates some income.”

"What's even more difficult to find fault with is that the third girl has to use the collected income to subsidize the old mothers who have not taken advantage..."

When Lin Zhixiao said this, he couldn't help but frown: "Originally, she only knew how to force it. Although she didn't dare to make trouble, it was not a long-term solution. Now that this incident has happened, others don't know. Grand View Garden

She will win over everyone from top to bottom!"

Wang Xifeng asked for more details, and couldn't help but be impressed by Tanchun's whimsical ideas. What's more important is that the third sister has only been in charge of the family for a few days, but she does things flawlessly and has thought of all possible problems in advance.

, it is difficult for people to interfere with it.

However, although she was impressed in her heart, she refused to admit defeat and said with a sneer: "She has been in the garden for a long time, so she naturally knows the pros and cons. If things outside come into play, it will not be so easy to deal with."

Feng Lazi naturally knew that these words were untenable - she had been in the front yard for a long time, and she didn't seem to have the ability to solve one or two long-standing problems - so she quickly changed the subject: "Don't worry about so much, just let her do it."

Well, she is not the one we really need to guard against."

Lin Zhixiao's family naturally understood who she was talking about, but the problem was that the three girls, who were not usually top-notch, were so difficult to deal with. When Miss Bao, who was praised by everyone, came with the right time, place, and people, they were tied to Wang Xifeng.

How can there be a good person?

Alas~

Why did I admit this godmother in such a big way in the first place?

If it hadn't been for this, based on their seniority and status in the mansion, they wouldn't have to worry about being squeezed out and suppressed by the new second mistress.

After Lin Zhixiao's family left with sad faces, Wang Xifeng became a little unable to sit still at home.

She originally thought about going to Xue's house to lay the groundwork, but now she really had the idea of ​​avoiding the edge temporarily - these three girls are so smart and capable, if she stayed at home, wouldn't she want to be dragged out to compare?

So she returned to Jia Mu's courtyard, preparing to inform the old lady in advance that she was going to visit relatives.

But when she arrived at the old lady's courtyard, she couldn't find a chance to speak.

The wife of Baoling Hou Shi Nai came to visit happily, firstly to discuss with the old lady about adding makeup to Shi Xiangyun, and secondly to inform Shi Nai of the latest news - this was what Jiao Shun sent to inform him last night.

Before Mrs. Baoling could finish her rambling words, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and a group of children also arrived, and the scene became more and more lively.

In particular, Mrs. Baolinghou pulled Shi Xiangyun and praised her for being lucky. Looking at her affectionate attitude, she almost wanted to claim that this niece crawled out of her intestines.

It was so noisy until after dinner, when Aunt Xue said goodbye, Wang Xifeng finally got some free time, and interrupted with a smile: "When aunt goes back, please take me with you. I have been free recently, and I just happened to go to my aunt's house."

Just kidding - besides, isn't Brother Wenlong going to have a wedding? I'll go over and see if I can help, so I can help my aunt with the affairs."

Hearing what she said, although everyone had different ideas, there was no reason to stop her.

Especially Aunt Xue, she just thought she was depressed in the house, so she wanted to go back with her to relax and unwind. She couldn't help but take her into her arms lovingly, and said with a smile: "That's a good relationship. My family is lacking an experienced person."

If you can make up your mind, just stay a few more days and wait until your brother gets married before you come back."

"That won't work."

Mrs. Wang also smiled and said: "She is inseparable from many things in the family. You just borrowed her for a few days, but you can't really kidnap her."

Tanchun also said hurriedly: "Yes, I still need to ask my sister-in-law for advice on many things. My sister-in-law will only go away for a few days. If she doesn't come back in ten days and a half, I will be blinded!"

Listening to the mother and daughter singing together, Wang Xifeng could only sneer in her heart.

In the afternoon of that day, headed by Mrs. Wang, everyone said goodbye and sent the three members of the Xue family and Wang Xifeng to the second door. At the same time, Xue Pan came to pick them up in person.

When Mrs. Wang saw him, she couldn't help but pull him to give him some advice, and asked him if the preparations for the wedding were going well.

"Don't worry, aunt, let's not talk about it here. The Xia family is also very friendly."

Xue Pan patted his chest and said proudly: "I heard that Brother Jiao is going to post a pair of monthly posts. Yesterday, I even sent someone to find out what Brother Jiao's hobbies are."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but be dumbfounded, thinking that the warm attitude of the Xia family was obviously directed at Jiao Shun, right?

Everyone on the sidelines had heard the clues, and couldn't help but sigh at Jiao Shun's current power.

But it was definitely not easy to criticize him in person, so he could only give vague congratulations, which made Xue Dabao laugh so hard that his molars appeared in his back teeth.

On the other side, Xue Baoqin saw that Lin Daiyu was in a state of distress, and she was still worried about the matter of being married. He took her hand and said seriously: "If sister really doesn't like it, she can also find another way, but I have made up my mind."

I am determined, no matter whether my sister is married to Brother Jiao or not, I will never get involved in it again!"

Hearing what she said so decisively, Lin Daiyu's delicate body trembled and she lost her voice: "Why are you here?"

Xue Baoqin did not answer, but smiled and squeezed Lin Daiyu's wrist, then turned around and left decisively.

Lin Daiyu watched her get on the carriage and was so stunned that she didn't know what to say.

It turned out that she was kind-hearted, so she took the initiative to give this opportunity to her. Who would have thought that in the end it would be...

It would be fine if Baoqin had not been tempted, but she was also quite heartbroken about Brother Jiao. Now that she left the scene quietly, it became even more rare.

only……

Do you really want to take this path?

Lin Daiyu turned her head blankly and unconsciously looked for Jia Baoyu's figure, but she saw him standing in front of Baochai's carriage, head held high and smiling, talking to Baochai in the car.

Seeing this scene, although Sister Lin thought she had no care for him anymore, she still couldn't help but feel a stab of pain in her heart.

Although she had given up on Baoyu in the past, seeing that he always kept a distance from Baochai, it was actually somewhat useful.

But now...

Sure enough, all the oaths of eternal love are fake!

At this moment, Sister Lin's unwavering thoughts finally changed slightly.
Chapter completed!
