Mu Yunmeng looked at Xi Honglei's serious expression with twinkling eyes, and then nodded gently, agreeing to her request. When Xi Honglei saw Mu Yunmeng nodded, he also swept away the previous haze and smiled slightly,
He turned around and left Mu Yunmeng's sight.
Xi Honglei sent Ran Yunshang to a safe place and told her to bring a bodyguard with her to protect her safety if she left the palace again. However, Ran Yunshang refused with the word "inconvenient".
Xi Honglei walked alone on the way back to Xi Mansion, thinking about everything that happened today, she couldn't help but have a headache. Today, it is undeniable that she was really a little impatient. She should not have done an autopsy, let alone lived like this
Mu Yunmeng and Ran Yunshang realized that they were different early. However, when she saw Mu Yunmeng, she couldn't help but think of her past.
Now that things have happened, Xi Honglei can only pray secretly that Mu Yunmeng and the princess can keep a tighter tone. As for what happens next, it will be blocked by soldiers and covered by water and soil.
Walking to the gate of Xi Mansion, Xi Honglei looked at the two men at the door and was slightly startled.
One of the people in front of the door was his eldest brother Xi Jiabao, and the other was the man who was riding a horse on the street that day.
When Xi Honglei stopped to look at them, the man on horseback obviously noticed her presence and remembered who she was.
"Jia Bao, who is this? Someone from your family?"
"Ah, our family's famous waste, haven't you seen it before?!"
Is she crying red tears?!
The man obviously didn't guess Xi Honglei's identity. After hearing what Xi Jiabao said, his expression immediately became dull for a moment. Then he smiled obscenely, walked up to Xi Honglei, and glanced up and down at Xi Honglei.
Honglei. Then he stretched out his hand to lift Honglei's chin, and said in a frivolous tone: "It turns out that this silly girl has become so beautiful. How about following me and living a good life?"
In broad daylight, Xi Honglei could still hear this blatant teasing. With a sneer, Xi Honglei knocked the man's hand away, lightly opened his thin lips, and asked: "Does it feel good to fall off a horse?
"
Before the man could say anything else, Xi Honglei ignored him and walked straight towards the door. When he walked to Xi Jiabao, Xi Honglei deliberately slowed down and glanced at Xi Jiabao casually.
He smiled and said: "I didn't expect that my brother's legs are so good that he can be quite fast."
Xi Honglei's words made Xi Jiabao's anger rise straight up! Looking angrily at Xi Honglei's retreating back, Xi Jiabao clenched his fists hard, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Little bitch"
, I have to give you a taste of suffering!"
Returning to his residence, Xi Honglei saw Hua'er collecting clothes in the courtyard and waved her to her side.
Sitting on the stone bench, Xi Honglei looked at the maid in front of her who was similar to her own age and lowered her eyes. The reason why Xi Honglei had not brought Hua'er with her during this period was because she still did not trust this person.
Moreover, she also needs someone to stay in Xifu to help her pay attention to the actions of Zhu Meiyang, Li Guilan and others.
"Hua'er, did anything happen in the house when I went out today?" Xi Honglei held her chin in one hand and asked softly.
After thinking about it seriously, Hua'er shook her head in confusion, then suddenly remembered something and said, "The third lady came over in the afternoon and said she was looking for you. But she left soon!"
Li Guilan came to find him? Why? Xi Honglei guessed Li Guilan's purpose and took Hua'er to Lin Wanru's residence. After chatting with Lin Wanru for a while, it was getting late. Xi Honglei and Lin Wanru were
Xiyuanshan sent someone to call the dining hall, and he had dinner with everyone.
Sitting next to Xi Yuanshan, Xi Honglei remained silent, pretending not to see the hostile looks directed at her by Xi Jiabao and Xi Hongbo. Listening to Li Guilan and Li Qianning chatting wordlessly, when Li Guilan was talking to Xi Yuan
Shan suggested that when Lin Wanru was being straightened up to become the eldest lady, Xi Honglei's eyes suddenly flashed and she smiled without trace.
Li Guilan's suggestion immediately silenced the room, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Guilan.
Li Guilan laughed twice awkwardly, and then said aloud: "It seems that she has been in our Xifu for so many years, and Honglei has grown so big in the blink of an eye. It seems that she is still nameless and has no identity. It is very unreasonable, you say
Isn’t that right?”
"Mom, why are you taking care of everything?" Xi Hongbo immediately became dissatisfied when he heard Li Guilan talking to Lin Wanru. Thinking about Li Guilan's change in attitude toward Lin Wanru and Xi Honglei during this period, Xi Hongbo became even more dissatisfied.
He was so angry that he said in a cold voice: "Dad has never mentioned this matter, why are you such a good person?!"
"That's right, mother, I think you should take care of your one-third of an acre of land, so as not to be bitten by others later." Xi Jiabao also expressed his position later.
"Are you two full? If not, shut up." Xi Yuanshan frowned tightly as he listened to what Xi Hongbo and Xi Jiabao said. He warned them in a cold voice.
After that, he lowered his head again and ate his food.
"I don't agree with Fuzheng Wanru."
Zhu Meiyang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly expressed her opinion. This made Xi Honglei a little surprised.
Zhu Meiyang has been in charge of the internal affairs of Xi Mansion for so many years. It doesn’t take much thinking for Xi Honglei to know that she must be an extremely smart woman with extremely clever methods. Otherwise, how could she gain the trust of Xi Yuanshan and be in charge of Xi Mansion without a son?
Government finance and many other powerful powers. Generally, people with such high power will not express their position easily. Therefore, Xi Honglei had always felt that the person who would be the first to single out Lin Wanru's correction would definitely not
It will be Zhu Meiyang. But looking at it now, it doesn’t seem to be the case.
"Guilan." Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Meiyang pointed the finger at Li Guilan. "I remember you said before that you don't want to hear anyone mention the matter of Fuzheng Wanru in the future. Why did you suddenly talk about it today?
Are you here? Is it because you know that the master handed over the store's account book to Honglei for safekeeping and review? "
Zhu Meiyang's words immediately made the originally silent room noisy.
"Dad, you let this red tear take care of the store?!" Xi Jiabao looked at Xi Yuanshan in disbelief and asked.
"Dad, why! How can a loser like her manage a store? Why don't you let us manage it?" Xi Hongbo glanced at Xi Honglei mockingly and said angrily.
"Dad, you are biased! Biased!" Xi Hongmiao pursed her lips and followed Xi Jiabao and Xi Hongbo to make a fuss.
"That's enough! It's all over!" Xi Yuanshan stood up with a slap on the table and angrily scolded the agitated crowd. His eyes swept across the Xi Hongbo brothers and sisters, and finally fell on Li Guilan. Xi Yuanshan said quietly
: "I am still in charge of this family now. I think you all have had enough good lives, haven't you!?"
Xi Yuanshan's angry scolding restored calm in the room once again. Sitting back on the chair slowly, Xi Yuanshan, who had completely lost his appetite, leaned on the back of the chair with his hands folded, and said: "I'll
The reason why the store was handed over to Hong Lai Guan is because she has the strength. Some time ago, it was discovered that Liu Fu had embezzled several thousand taels, and it was Hong Lai Gu who did it. If any of you can have this strength, I am the father.
, I don’t mind letting you manage the account books. But you three, look at yourselves, what do you look like one by one! Jiabao, you spend all your time outside, eating, drinking and having fun every day, do you really think I don’t know anything?"
When Xi Jiabao heard Xi Yuanshan mention his name, he immediately shrank his neck in fear. The arrogance of Xi Hongbo and Xi Hongmiao on the side was also obviously reduced.
"If you have any dissatisfaction in the future, please come to me and tell me. I have worked so hard for half my life to save all the property, and I don't want to be ruined by you all! I don't want to hear anyone making irresponsible remarks about the store. Jiabao
, if you still want to inherit the family property, just restrain yourself and learn how to do business from your sister! Otherwise, I will give away all the family property!"
After Xi Yuanshan said something sternly, he left the dining hall without looking back and disappeared from everyone's sight. And his last words also stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, making everyone's heart skip a beat.
Everything has changed.
Xi Honglei stood up, helped Lin Wanru up, and smiled slightly. Facing Xi Jiabao's angry gaze, Xi Honglei said softly: "Brother, whenever you want to learn how to do business, just come to me, Honglei is waiting for you at any time.
"
After saying that, Xi Honglei supported Lin Wanru and walked out slowly.
Walking outside the door, Xi Honglei breathed in the fresh air, and smiled sideways at Lin Wanru, who looked worried. Together with Hua'er waiting at the door, he sent Lin Wanru back to his residence. When Xi Honglei was ready
When she returned to her villa, Lin Wanru asked Xi Honglei to stay the night.
Xi Honglei tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded quickly and agreed to Lin Wanru.
After washing up, she blew out the candles. When Xi Honglei lay on Lin Wanru's bed and was gently patted and supported by Lin Wanru, Xi Honglei suddenly felt a long-lost feeling, similar to touching, in her heart.
"Leier." Lin Wanru gently touched Xi Honglei's forehead and said, "Are you very tired recently?"
Xi Honglei shook her head silently and listened to Lin Wanru's next words.
"Mom, I feel distressed when I see you running in and out every day." Lin Wanru held Xi Honglei in her arms with pity, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Mom, I don't want status, I don't want fame, I just want you to be mediocre.
Stay safe by your mother's side, find a good husband to marry in the future, and you will have nothing else to ask for. Don't go against your two mothers, the only one left is you..."
