Xia Yu and Dong Xue followed Xuan Bao out of Fushouyuan worriedly. Just as the two maids were about to ask, they found that their county master was smiling like a little fox, and he didn't look like he had been wronged just now.
Calculation flashed in Xuan Bao's eyes. She deliberately revealed the news to Mrs. Xiao on purpose.
After getting along for a short period of time, the little baby realized that her grandmother was very wise. As long as she planted the seeds of doubt, she would naturally seek confirmation.
With Mrs. Xiao taking action, Xuan Bao is believed to be much more effective than others and will be able to find out the truth soon.
Seeing that Xuan Bao's expression remained normal, Dong Xue and Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as everything was fine.
Looking up, Xia Yu whispered: "Why is she here too?"
Xuan Bao looked over and saw Xiao Mingzhu walking towards him with Ju'er and Lan'er. It seemed that he had received the news and wanted to go to Fushouyuan to show his respects.
"Where did the county master come from?" Xiao Mingzhu smiled and came forward.
She is really capable of bending and stretching. She is so kind when she is called "County Lord". Since Xiao Mingzhu greets her with a smile, Xuan Bao also treats her with courtesy.
"Where are Sixth Sister going?
"Come out for a walk."
"I want to go back to Lingyun Garden, so I won't disturb Sixth Sister."
"County Lord, walk slowly."
The two sisters smiled, but neither of them could see their smiles. They looked peaceful on the surface, but there was an undercurrent surging behind them. Although they didn't break up, it was obvious that they were on opposite sides.
The maids who were personally serving Xuan Bao and Xiao Mingzhu felt chills on their backs when they saw this. One was five years old and the other was six years old, but how could they look like little babies? I'm afraid that even if they were fighting openly and secretly in the palace, it would be nothing more than this.
The moment the two people passed each other, they both snorted coldly. The hostility was so obvious that it was difficult to ignore it.
After walking a short distance, Xia Yu asked in a low voice: "Dongxue, what does Miss Six mean?"
"It goes without saying that she has always been at odds with our county chief."
"I was asking about that cold snort she made."
"Declaration of war." Xuan Bao said with sarcasm in his tone, "Just because of her? Is she worthy?"
Dong Xue said softly: "I wonder what the sixth lady thinks?"
"What else can you think? She doesn't recognize her identity." Xia Yu muttered.
Xuan Bao couldn't help but laugh: "Xia Yu has made great progress, but Xiao Mingzhu not only fails to recognize his identity, he is also very ambitious."
"Ambition?" Dongxue frowned, "The county boss will kill her ambition."
"Dongxue is the one who knows me." Xuan Bao nodded repeatedly.
Xia Yu looked back: "County Master, do you think Miss Six is really just taking a stroll?"
"When she heard that I was going to pay my respects to my grandmother, she would definitely go there too." Xuan Bao smiled meaningfully, "But if she goes there at the moment, her face will be ashes, and my grandmother will not see her."
With a squeak, Xia Yu smiled happily: "Well, if you dare to love her, you should let her know that she is not just a cat, a dog, an old lady, she is her granddaughter."
"Although your words are hurtful, they sound comfortable to you." Xuan Bao then laughed.
In the Fushou Courtyard, as soon as Grandma Sun sent Xuan Bao away, she heard the maid report that the Sixth Miss had come to pay her respects to the old lady.
Mrs. Xiao shook her head slightly, and Grandma Sun immediately went out and stopped Xiao Mingzhu.
"Sixth Miss, please come back another day, the old lady is taking a rest."
"Have a rest? Xuan Bao just left." Xiao Mingzhu pointed out.
Nanny Sun replied, neither humble nor overbearing: "That's right, the old lady was a little tired and just took a rest after the county lord left. Miss Sixth, please come back to say hello some other time."
Xiao Mingzhu didn't expect Mrs. Xiao to slap her face directly. She saw Xuan Bao but not herself. Her attitude was already there.
The people in the Hou Mansion are all fine people, and Mrs. Xiao's words and deeds undoubtedly represent the direction of the trend.
Xiao Mingzhu clenched her fists. She didn't understand why everything went awry when it came to the Xuan Bao, even though she had already predicted it. She always acted a step slower. She remembered clearly that the Xuan Bao did not come in her previous life.
Fushouyuan, let alone get ahead of him.
"Miss Sixth, please come back." Grandma Sun said again.
"When grandma wakes up, please let me know." As Xiao Mingzhu spoke, she stepped forward and held Grandma Sun's hand affectionately, then turned around with a smile.
Watching Xiao Mingzhu leave, Grandma Sun looked at the gold ingot in her hand and shook her head slightly before turning around and entering.
Looking at the gold ingot that Grandma Sun placed on the coffee table, Mrs. Xiao said coldly: "She is quite generous. Since it is for you, just take it."
Xiao Mingzhu didn't know at all that she was self-defeating. If Grandma Sun was really the kind of person who was blind to money, how could she have been in the eyes of Mrs. Xiao and served her for many years.
"Old lady, there are people in the house who are gossiping, and there seems to be gossip outside." Grandma Sun said honestly to Old lady Xiao.
"I didn't mean to blame Xuan Bao." Mrs. Xiao recalled, "Kezhong is indeed unfilial, and she should fight for Rouping."
"There is something that I have always kept in my heart. It just so happened that the county master mentioned it..." Grandma Sun hesitated before she spoke, "Young Master Kezhong and Young Master Youduo are indeed very different from when they were children."
Mrs. Xiao thought carefully and then said leisurely: "It is indeed different. Ke Zhong was close to me when I was a child. I don't know when he started to become distant from me. On the contrary, You Duo became closer to me."
"It started when Master Kezhong fell into the water and Master Youduo hit his head." Grandma Sun remembered it clearly.
"Yes, it did start from that time." Mrs. Xiao's eyes suddenly flashed with light, "Kezhong sent a letter saying that Xuan Bao is a disciple of Xuanmen. Do you think what she said just now is correct?"
Grandma Sun was stunned for a moment before she realized: "The county master is a disciple of Xuanmen? I think the princess of Rouping knows this best."
"Okay, I'll ask Rouping later." Mrs. Xiao muttered, "If this is really the case, then..."
"This matter is no small matter." Grandma Sun's expression changed drastically.
Mrs. Xiao snorted calmly: "It seems that after leaving the Hou Mansion for many years, some people may think that I am dead."
"Why are you cursing yourself like this?" Grandma Sun hurriedly comforted her, "Don't get angry. The Marquis is not in the mansion, and you are the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Marquis."
At this time, both Qinseyuan and Qimeitang received the news, and everyone in the mansion also knew that Xiao Mingzhu was in trouble.
Although Princess Rouping didn't say anything, it could be seen from the raised corners of her mouth that she was in a good mood.
"The old lady is not easy to fool, she can clearly distinguish between relatives and friends." Grandma Ying said with emotion, "Miss Sixth is too ignorant."
"Although Xiao Mingzhu was slapped in the face, it can be seen that the old lady likes Xuanbao very much." Princess Rouping sighed softly when she said this, "In the past, the old lady liked Ke Zhong the most, but later she liked You
Duo."
Aunt Ying smiled and took over the words: "I think the old lady likes you the most now is our county master."
"It's too early to say this now." Princess Rouping rubbed her head, "I won't say anymore. The old lady must have many questions in her mind. I have to think about how to deal with them first."
