Dongxue and Xia Yu immediately said together: "I don't know anything."
"Anyway, you remember, the third young master will no longer oppose me. As for whether he will become the second second brother, time will tell, but I think it is very promising."
After hearing Xuan Bao's words, Dong Xue and Xia Yu understood. They were happy for Miss Seven. Perhaps in the near future, other young masters would also be able to agree with Miss Seven.
Besides, after leaving Lingyun Garden, Xiao Mingzhu took Xiao Keren to Yicai Garden.
At this moment, Xiao Keren was keenly aware that Xiao Mingzhu was not the kind-hearted little girl in his mind. Although he was disgusted and didn't want to follow her, after thinking about it and thinking of what Xuan Bao said, he decided to go.
This was not Xiao Keren's first time back to Yicai Garden, but it was the first time he felt such warm hospitality from Xiao Mingzhu.
"Third Brother, what do you want from Seventh Sister?" Xiao Mingzhu asked impatiently.
Xiao Keren sighed secretly in his heart, Xiao Mingzhu was so heartless that he ignored even a few perfunctory words of concern.
Speaking of which, she was bedridden for more than half a month. A few days ago, Xiao Mingzhu and her brothers came to visit her. Xiao Keren recalled that at that time, she glanced at the bedroom door a few times, without even stepping through the threshold, and she was still flattering.
It is said that she is too young to be sick.
I didn't think so before, but now from a different perspective, Xiao Keren can see how selfish Xiao Mingzhu is.
Besides, today was the first day that Xiao Keren walked out of his small courtyard. Xiao Mingzhu didn't even show the least concern. Instead, everything he said was related to Xuan Bao.
After taking a few sips of tea to calm down, Xiao Keren put down the tea bowl: "My mother doesn't want to see us recently but she is close to Xuan Bao and her second brother. I'll tell them to take good care of her."
"Third brother, since Xuan Bao came, mother has not wanted to see us." Xiao Mingzhu said while looking at Xiao Keren and found that his face was expressionless.
Xiao Keren said calmly: "After all, it was us who made the mistake first, and it is right for mother to be angry and not want to see us."
"Even if you are angry, it has been a long time." Xiao Mingzhu lowered her voice, "It must have been instigated by someone."
"My mother only gets angry for a while. She has visited me several times in the past few days."
Xiao Mingzhu looked a little ugly: "I went to Qinse Courtyard yesterday to say hello, but my mother still ignored me."
"Just you?"
"I have the same attitude towards big brother and the others."
"Maybe it's because I'm sick, but my mother is not angry with me."
"By the way, third brother has recovered, I'm glad to say that." Xiao Mingzhu remembered at this time, "It looks like he's recovering very well."
Xiao Keren leaned closer to Xiao Mingzhu and lowered his voice: "Well, I haven't been out for more than half a month. I heard that Sixth Sister and Xikuoyuan have been walking around frequently recently?"
"No way?" Xiao Mingzhu immediately denied with panic flashing in her eyes.
Xiao Keren lowered his eyes to cover up the flash of light in his eyes. No wonder Xuan Bao suspected that she was colluding with her second wife.
Xiao Mingzhu's mind was spinning very fast. She had actually been to Xikuoyuan two or three times in the past few days, but she only went there quietly at night or in the afternoon, and she didn't meet anyone.
Could it be the people around her? Xiao Mingzhu glanced outside the door. Mei'er, Lan'er and Ju'er, who were waiting outside, suddenly felt chilly. They raised their eyes and met her gaze. The three of them broke into cold sweats at the same time.
.
"Actually, to be honest, my second uncle is very good to us brothers, and it is not easy for my second aunt to take care of the Hou Mansion for my mother." Xiao Keren said with emotion, "I don't know why my mother can't understand that we are all one family.
People, if it’s not just a trivial matter regarding money, why should they be so embarrassed?”
Xiao Mingzhu's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Yes, when my second aunt was in charge of the house, whenever I spoke, she would send it to Wang Yicaiyuan. She also responded to all your requests."
"Yeah, now it's no better than before. Aunt Ying used chicken feathers as arrows. During the time when I was sick..., ugh! It's okay not to say anything." Xiao Keren stopped talking.
Xiao Mingzhu thought in her mind: It seems that the third brother has the same idea as herself. The second aunt has hinted that it would be better if she could win over a few brothers. She originally thought it was impossible, but now the opportunity has come.
Xiao Keren lowered his head to drink tea with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Xiao Mingzhu's expression kept changing and could not be hidden from his eyes. He did not expect that the sixth sister that his mother and their brothers had doted on wholeheartedly for several years would turn out to be such a cruel person.
He didn't know what his second wife promised Xiao Mingzhu. Xiao Keren suppressed his inner anger. Xuanbao was right. He couldn't alarm his mother. The three siblings could only work together to catch the big fish in the long run.
Thinking of this, Xiao Keren smiled at Xiao Mingzhu: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about? If you have anything to do, just tell the third brother. As long as it makes you happy, I will definitely help you."
"Third brother, you are so kind." Xiao Mingzhu tried her best, "My mother is too tired from taking care of the housework. Her health is not good, so third brother should advise her to rest more."
Xiao Keren was very clear in his heart. Xiao Mingzhu said so nicely because he wanted to regain the power of the family for Fang Rongru.
"That's what you said, but there is nothing you can do about it. After all, my mother is the mistress of the Hou Mansion, and it is her duty to be in charge of internal affairs."
"Third brother, I don't want my mother to work so hard."
"What can you do?"
"How about I help mother?"
When he first heard Xiao Mingzhu's words, Xiao Keren was completely stunned.
Xiao Mingzhu shook Xiao Keren's hand: "I can take care of my mother's worries, third brother, do you agree?"
"Sixth sister, it's enough for you to have this intention." Xiao Keren came back to his senses and became increasingly puzzled, "You are still young, and it will take you a few more years to learn this."
"I'll be in charge of the house. At worst, I'll let my second aunt help me, so my mother won't have to worry."
After all the talk, it was still for the sake of the second wife. Xiao Keren did not refuse or agree: "This matter will probably not work out, but I can take the time to find out what my mother has to say. If it doesn't work out, I can think of other ways."
"Then thank you third brother." Xiao Mingzhu was actually testing Xiao Keren.
She was still afraid that Xiao Keren would refuse, but she didn't expect him to be so cooperative. Xiao Mingzhu didn't notice anything wrong at all, because the third brother had obeyed her words in her previous life.
"Third brother."
"Hmm?" Xiao Keren looked at Xiao Mingzhu with a doting look on his face, "If you want anything, please tell me."
Xiao Mingzhu hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.
Xiao Keren was a little disappointed. What Xuan Bao said rang in his mind. Some things cannot be rushed. Yes, take your time.
"Okay, I'm a little tired. I need to go back and take a rest." Xiao Keren stood up and patted Xiao Mingzhu's shoulder as affectionately as before, "I'm leaving."
"Third brother, walk slowly." Xiao Mingzhu sent Xiao Keren out.
