After coming out of the sulfur spring, the woman on the village was waiting there early to apply ointment and massage them.
The technique was light and the force was moderate, which made Yang subconsciously "hum" because of the comfort.
"Now I know why it is all the ladies of high families who live a good life. This is so comfortable."
Cheng Xue said "hmm" when she heard this and said:
"Sister-in-law likes, let's do it again before she leaves."
"No, no, one time is enough." Yang smiled and declined contentedly, "Does it really take Sidan and Tiantian two years to come back? Don't you miss them?"
"Why don't you want to? But no matter how you think about it, you still have to let the children go out for a walk. Sidan is okay, he is a boy. This is the only time Tiantian can travel far away, and he will have no chance in the future."
When it comes to the two children, Cheng Xue really thinks about it.
Although I often receive letters from them, and although I have only been away for half a year, I really miss them in my heart.
While chatting, the three of them fell asleep. When they were woken up, lunch was ready. They ate barbecue in Hongmei Garden. It was not cold at all while eating around the charcoal stove. The smell of barbecue was wafting in the air.
It smells very good.
We stayed at the Villa until the afternoon and rushed back home in front of Guancheng Gate. As soon as the carriage entered the backyard, Bai Wei came over.
"Madam, Mrs. Pang is here."
who?
Cheng Xue was stunned. Seeing her nodding, she couldn't help but complain:
"What is she here for? How long has she been here?"
"Go back to Madam, it's been a while." He said to Li Hui and said, "A lot of people came to the house today, but the Gu and Su families didn't come. I wanted to go to a villa on the outskirts of the city, but I found out that I was being followed.
Go again. But we have already notified them."
The last sentence was spoken so quietly that only the three of them could hear it. As for the "over there" in her mouth, both Li Hui and Cheng Xue knew it was the "Wolf's Head" they called her.
Although they didn't see much of that person, they could tell that he was a ruthless character.
Li Heng and Yan Yixin took Guo Dake and others to the front yard a long time ago. The two children can now take care of themselves, and they don't have to worry about it at all.
Cheng Xue came to the reception room in the front yard. Mrs. Pang was sitting on her seat. She waited until she entered the room before she stood up and said:
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I hope Mrs. Li will forgive me."
"Mrs. Pang's words are serious. I wonder what the purpose of your coming is?"
"I heard from people below that you went to Pang Mansion Villa today."
"right."
Just one word answer, nothing else.
Mrs. Pang pursed her lips tightly after hearing this, and then said after a while:
"Mrs. Li, I will hold a banquet at Pang's Mansion tomorrow. I hope you can honor me."
"Sorry, Mrs. Pang, I don't like this kind of banquet, so I won't go."
"Tomorrow I will just enjoy plum blossoms and paint, nothing else."
"That's okay. Thank you for your kindness." After Cheng Xue finished speaking, he yawned and said, "I'm a little tired from taking a dip in the sulfur spring today, so I won't talk to you. I will visit you again when Yaoyao and the others come back."
It was a very obvious order to expel guests. If Mrs. Pang could not hear it, her life would have been in vain. But she was really unwilling to let her leave like this.
Rou Yi clenched her fist tightly, and after a while she spoke calmly:
"How long do you think Mrs. Li can hide?"
"I don't understand what Mrs. Pang is saying. Who am I trying to hide from?" Cheng Xue asked without answering.
Seeing that she kept refusing to answer, Mrs. Pang simply stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point:
"Mrs. Li, someone has asked me to be an intermediary. The relationship between our two families is not a secret. As long as you come over tomorrow and get engaged and hired, I will never stop you."
"It sounds like it will be useful if you stop me."
"Bang -" Mrs. Pang finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table angrily.
"Mrs. Li, what are you talking about? Although I am not Pang Yao's biological mother, I am also her father's step-wife who is being married by Mingwen. How can you get over me for the engagement between the two families?"
Cheng Xue shrugged, stood up, walked a few steps, stood in front of her and said:
"It's up to me whether you can do it or not. It's up to you to stop me or not. If you want to be a middleman, you have to see if I want to give you face. I don't take soft and hard advice. I don't want to waste my time in useless relationships. Instead of being warm and cold towards you,
, why not rub the pills at home for a while. I’m tired today, so I won’t give them to you. Mrs. Pang takes a slow walk.”
After saying that, he went out without looking back. When he was about to go out——
"You just don't care about the dignity of the two families?"
"You're the one slapping yourself in the face. I told you I don't like attending banquets. Don't you understand human speech?"
"Do you dislike it or are you afraid?"
So damn sick!
Cheng Xue didn't want to waste any more words with her and strode out of the house.
After a while, Mrs. Cui came in, respectfully made a "please" gesture, and said nothing.
The two of them left one after another. Bai Wei watched Mrs. Pang leave the house and then returned to the main courtyard.
"Madam, she's gone."
Cheng Xue waved her hand, and after a while she filled herself into Li Hui's arms and said:
"What on earth do the Gu family want to do?"
"I'm afraid it's not the Gu family, but the Su family. Mrs. Gu is the daughter of the Su family. She can't watch her family collapse. It's a pity that my daughter-in-law has no money and salt, and her biological mother dares to lose face. I can only say that she kicked the iron this time.
It’s on the board.”
"That's wrong. If it's for your mother's family, then why is there no movement at all from the Su family, but Mrs. Gu is charging ahead?"
"That's not clear. I guess this was the usual style of doing things for wealthy families in ancient times?"
"Bullshit! Where are you going to take us tomorrow?"
"How about going to the temple to burn incense in the morning, going to the Chuanwu for dinner at noon, and going to the pear garden in the afternoon?"
"Okay, you arranged it well, let's do it like this."
Cheng Xue closed her eyes after saying that. She was really tired after taking a dip in the sulfur spring today and quarreling with an old man, so she had to take a good rest.
She felt comfortable. After Mrs. Pang left the house and got into the car, she was so angry that she kept smashing Mrs. Tang until it was deformed.
"Madam, the Gu family's carriage is just ahead."
Mrs. Pang was so nauseated after hearing this, but she had no choice but to get out of the car.
"Mrs. Gu."
"How are things going?"
"It's not done. She went out of the city to Sulfur Springs today and got a cold. She sneezed repeatedly when I talked to her, so she can't come tomorrow."
Mrs. Gu in the carriage was silent for a long time, and Mrs. Pang could only stand aside with a frown on her face. She was obviously the head mistress of the Pang Mansion, but she had lived such a humble life. She didn't know what the purpose was.
After a long time, a sound finally came from the carriage——
"Then I won't go to tomorrow's banquet. I'll go next time you host it. Your daughter hasn't even gotten her haircut yet, so let's postpone the wedding for a while. I'm tired, so I'll leave first."
The coachman received the order and drove away with a whip. Mrs. Pang first encountered a hard nail in Cheng Xue, and now she encountered a soft nail. She was so angry that she had to endure it, which was simply aggrieved.
"Madam, please drink a glass of warm water to warm yourself up."
After taking the teacup handed over by the maid, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and I threw it into the carriage...
