"Mrs. Wu does not need to pay such a courtesy." There was no emotion in Leng Changxi's voice. Her eyes were half closed and she was still lying on the bed motionless, but she was already speculating on Mrs. Wu's purpose.
Logically speaking, after the lessons learned by Vada and Gudonna, women like them should not come to provoke easily anymore. If so, then the purpose of Mrs. Wu's coming is worthy of careful consideration.
"Sister Xiyue is the prince's favorite, so Peifu should salute her." Wu Peifu's gentle voice sounded, as clear and crisp as an oriole in the empty valley.
But these seemingly polite words sounded different to Leng Changxi's ears. The woman looked harmless, but there was hidden murderous intent behind her words, which made Leng Changxi narrow her eyes.
"What kind of love is there? If you don't love it, it will be nothing but a mirror. After a hundred years, it will be a pile of withered bones. What else is there to fight for?" Leng Changxi's answer seemed casual, but there was a warning in her words.
The thought made Wu Peifu's eyes flash with a sharp light.
"That's what my sister said." Wu Peifu nodded.
"Ariel, watch your seat." Leng Changxi ordered in a deep voice.
Wu Peifu thanked him and sat down on the chair calmly.
There was an inconspicuous girl standing behind her at the moment. She kept her head lowered, respectfully, and didn't speak. She just served her carefully when necessary.
Leng Changxi's eyes just glanced at this girl casually without stopping too much.
"I wonder if Mrs. Wu has any business here today?" Seeing her sit down, Leng Changxi asked straight to the point.
"It's nothing important. I just feel that Sister Xiyue has been in the house for many days and I haven't come to greet her, which is a bit too much. So, I came here to sit with my sister today." Wu Peifu said it very naturally.
, can't hear any flaws.
However, words like this made Leng Changxi even more suspicious of an ulterior motive.
Her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she smiled and said: "Mrs. Wu is too polite. On the contrary, it makes Xi Yue look a little bit petty. See, I have nothing here, and Madam has come here to sit here, which is really a bit embarrassing."
Wu Peifu heard the suspicion in her tone, so she chuckled and lowered her eyebrows, while also covering up the look in her eyes: "Sister, you don't need to be too unobtrusive, as long as you have a cup of tea and a plate of small snacks,
It’s enough for us two sisters to chat.”
"Ariel, did you hear that?" Leng Changxi raised her eyebrows and smiled when she heard this.
"Yes, miss, I'm going to get some snacks right now." Ariel responded and walked out of the room.
"Thank you, sister." Wu Peifu nodded politely to Leng Changxi: "Sister is not only beautiful, but also has such a kind heart. No wonder the prince likes her so much!"
Kind-hearted? Leng Changxi raised her eyebrows. This was the first time she heard someone say that she was kind-hearted. She really didn’t know how Mrs. Wu could say that she was kind-hearted so naturally after hearing about her great achievements. It was abnormal.
Things are worse than ghosts! Now, Leng Changxi was even more sure that Mrs. Wu was trying to trick someone.
I just can't guess, I can only wait and see.
While Leng Changxi was still thinking about it secretly, the inconspicuous girl next to Wu Peifu suddenly called in a low voice: "Madam..."
"What's the matter?" Wu Peifu's voice was filled with a hint of impatience and coldness.
"Madam, please forgive me, slave. I'm in a hurry. I want to go to the toilet, and I hope you'll agree to it." The girl's voice was choked with sobs, and her legs moved uneasily.
Wu Peifu frowned when she heard this, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes: "What's wrong with being ugly in front of my sister? Bear with it!"
"But, madam..." The girl's tears fell down: "I really, really can't bear it anymore..."
"You!" Wu Peifu got angry and was about to reprimand.
Leng Changxi suddenly interrupted: "Forget it, Mrs. Wu, it is common for people to have three emergencies, so why bother. Just let her go."
"Thank you, Mrs. Xiyue, thank you, Mrs. Xiyue." The little girl burst into tears of gratitude.
"Turn left at the exit door. There is a hut behind the house." Leng Changxi pointed to her, and the girl thanked her while walking backwards out of the house.
"They say Sister Xiyue is kind-hearted, and she is indeed so! She is so tolerant to her servants." After the girl left, Wu Peifu said to Leng Changxi with a faint smile.
"They say I have a Bodhisattva heart?" Leng Changxi was very amused by this sentence.
"Yes. Sister is really kind!" Wu Peifu's smile became more and more forced.
But Leng Changxi just sneered and said nothing more.
After a while, Ariel walked in with a plate of lotus root cakes. She glanced around the room and found that one person was missing. Leng Changxi saw her movements and said directly: "Mrs. Wu's
The girl is anxious."
Ariel's eyes flickered slightly, she put down the lotus root cake and said, "Miss, let me go and take a look."
Hearing this, Wu Peifu's eyes flashed, she put down the tea in her hand, and said calmly: "Sister, are you worried about me, or are you worried about my girl? If you are worried, you shouldn't have let that girl just now.
The girl has to go to the toilet."
After finishing speaking, Leng Changxi lowered her eyebrows calmly and said calmly: "Ariel, no need, I believe that girl can find the hut."
Leng Changxi's words helped her and Ariel find a way to go down. Wu Peifu's face lit up when she heard this, and then she said with a hint of guilt: "It turns out that sister is worried that the girl can't find the toilet, right?"
My sister is too worried. I have wronged my sister, and I hope you can forgive me."
Leng Changxi picked up a cup of tea on the table, shook the lid slowly, and slowly put the tea into her mouth without even looking at Wu Peifu.
After a long time, he suddenly said calmly: "I won't be surprised. After all, people will compare themselves to each other. Whatever they think, they will naturally assume that others will think the same. It is human nature, how can I blame Mrs. Wu?
.”
Although Leng Changxi's words were generous, anyone who understood could hear that she was secretly mocking Wu Peifu for being petty.
When Wu Peifu heard this, her color suddenly changed, and the faint smile on her face could no longer be maintained, and she collapsed. However, she did not dare to argue with Leng Changxi, so she could only drink tea quietly.
After about a stick of incense, Wu Peifu's girl finally came back.
Wu Peifu had no intention of staying, so she said goodbye and hurriedly got up and left.
Seeing the two of them walking away, Ariel took the initiative to invite her: "Miss, I'm going to go to the toilet and have a look."
"No need, there are so many people outside, it's impossible for that girl to do anything in the toilet." Leng Changxi waved her hand casually.
However, no one expected that just such a negligence would lead to a panic.
