Lan Xi returned to her yard, Xiaotong stood aside with her head bowed, and the master and servant were silent.
"Didn't you say that the eldest sister wouldn't know that it was you who pushed her?" Lan Xi played with the bracelet in her hand expressionlessly, losing the gentleness in front of outsiders, leaving only bone-deep coldness, and a chill suddenly appeared in her eyes.
This is the true face of the second young lady of Mu Mansion.
"I was standing behind the eldest lady at that time. There is no reason why I would be discovered." Xiaotong pursed her lips and frowned, "The eldest lady today is very strange. I expected that it must be the eldest lady of the Late Qing Dynasty who said these things.
, Otherwise the eldest lady would never speak so logically."
Lan Xi snorted coldly, "Yes, it must have been taught to her by the late Qing Dynasty. With her idiot, how can she force me into such a field?"
But at this time, what made Xiaotong uneasy was Lan Xi's ambiguous attitude. She had been with the second young lady for so long and naturally knew her character well. She was never a soft-hearted person.
"You are worried that I will sacrifice you." Lan Xi smiled and looked at Xiaotong lightly, "You think I will definitely choose Mingzhe to protect myself at this time, so I will definitely push you out and hand you over to my eldest sister, right?
?”
Xiaotong pursed her lips and remained silent. They had grown up together as master and servant, and naturally understood each other's character and thoughts better than others. Although Xiaotong was a maid, her status around Lan Xi was higher than that of ordinary maids.
Many, Lan Xi also values her very much.
"Second Miss is forced by circumstances, I understand." Xiaotong responded in a low voice.
"Huh, Mu Liuyun wants to touch my people, so she has to ask me if I agree." Lan Xi suddenly waved her hand, and the teacup on the table was swept to the ground, and then said to Xiaotong, "You go down and rest first.
Well, I will handle this matter."
"Yes." Xiaotong blessed himself, looked at Lan Xi again, then turned and left.
After Xiaotong left, a woman who was also serving as a slave came over, squatted down and picked up the pieces on the ground. When she looked up, she could see her face, which was no less than that of Yu Lanxi.
"Ning Xiang, didn't you accompany my mother out of the house to do something?" Lan Xi looked at the woman on the ground in surprise. She was the most powerful girl around Lin. She was a few years older than Lan Xi, but she couldn't even see Lin when she was thinking about the city.
They were all full of praise.
"Second Madam is worried, please let me go back to your house first." Ning Xiang smiled, her smile was as bright as spring, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Lan Xi actually never understood how her mother, who was always extremely jealous, could tolerate such a young and beautiful girl staying by her side to serve her. Wasn't she worried that one day Ning Xiang would climb into her father's bed?
"She caught me off guard this time, and I didn't even have room to fight back." Lan Xi said bitterly, "I really didn't expect that she would listen to Wan Qing's words this time. I don't know if her brain was burned out.
"
Ning Xiang still kept a light smile, handed the fragments in her hand to the girl who came to clean them up together, wiped her dusty hands, and said calmly, "Second Miss, don't worry, this matter has not yet reached the point of irreversibility.
.However, I still want to ask the second young lady what she thinks. If the second young lady plans to push Xiaotong out, then this servant will not do whatever she wants."
"It depends on the owner to beat the dog. She bullied others too much. How could I sacrifice Xiaotong to fulfill her prestige?" Lan Xi looked at the calm Ning Xiang, "Do you have any idea?"
"It's not a good idea, but it will make the eldest lady smell fishy." A slight smile hung on his lips, and his eyes were as clear as the stream under the ice, as beautiful and refined as untainted by the world.
Lan Xi suddenly raised her head and looked at Ning Xiang. She had always known this woman's wisdom, but she was actually more curious about why such a woman would stay with her mother. It was really strange.
"You can handle this matter." Lan Xi didn't ask Ning Xiang what to do. It wasn't that Lan Xi trusted Ning Xiang that much, but she knew that the more she knew, the more dangerous it was. Just like now if she knew everything
I don’t know, even if there is something wrong with Ning Xiang’s method, she can spread her hands and know nothing.
"Yes." Ning Xiang's eyes flashed with deep meaning, she felt slightly blessed, and then she retreated.
Another maid came over, holding a light-colored brocade dress in her hand, "Second Miss, it will be the old lady's birthday in a few days. The old lady specially ordered someone to make new clothes for the second lady. The second lady wore this
This brocade garment will surely be dazzling."
Lan Xi's eyes fell on the emerald green haze Bixialuo in her hand, and a hint of deep meaning appeared on her lips, "Send this dress to the eldest lady."
"But this dress was specially made by the old lady at the garment workshop. The second lady wants to send it to the eldest lady?" Xiaotong raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't think that the second lady would be so kind and give up the opportunity to shine.
The eldest lady, let alone how could she not know that the eldest lady always likes to wear red clothes and hates light-colored clothes.
"Grandma lives in Xiangyun Temple and doesn't know much about the eldest sister. Of course, the younger sister should seize the opportunity to let grandma know more about the eldest sister." Lan Xi smiled lightly, seeing that Xiaotong still had doubts on her face, she quickly explained.
He said, "If my sister dislikes the new clothes that grandma specially sent, do you think grandma will be angry?"
Xiaotong nodded. The old lady usually went to Xiangyun Temple to eat and pray. Mr. Mu specially built a courtyard in the backyard of Xiangyun Temple for the old lady to live. For this reason, she rarely returned to Linyang City. She was not aware of Liuyun's perverse and domineering behavior.
not much.
"My father obeys Aunt Xia, but my grandmother doesn't." Lan Xi snorted coldly. Although Mu Mansion said it was her father who made the decision, her father still respected her grandmother very much. Although he would not obey her in everything, he would never obey her in many matters.
Disobedience, this is why Lan Xi has always deliberately tried to please Mrs. Mu.
"Yes." As he spoke, he had already folded his clothes again, thinking of sending them to the eldest lady later.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Seeing the maid hesitate to speak, Lan Xi raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, the second young lady ordered me to pay attention to the situation in the front hall. Today, the Shen Mansion sent some gifts, and the master sent them to the eldest lady." The maid replied respectfully.
"Do you know what it is?" Lan Xi clenched her fists, hatred flashed in her eyes.
"I'm not sure, but it looks like it's jewelry or something."
"I know, let's go down."
"yes."
No one knew that the second young lady of the Mu Mansion fell in love with the son of the Shen Mansion at first sight, but she knew very well that if the Shen Mansion and the Mu Mansion were to marry, her father's first choice would definitely be the legitimate daughter of the Mu Mansion, which is why she
He had the intention of harming Liu Yun, but he didn't expect Liu Yun to be lucky enough to survive.
Thinking of this, sharp nails pierced the palms of her hands. If she were the legitimate daughter...if she were the legitimate daughter...she would be the one to marry Shen Yi, not Mu Liuyun.
