Xie Xuan may not understand many things, but she is too lazy, so she just doesn't care about anything.

Madam Lin is loyal to Mrs. Xiao, which is why she persuaded her today.

After hearing Madam Lin's words, a smile appeared on her face, but soon her expression became a little complicated. She sighed faintly and said in a vague tone, "Madam really understands me. Therefore, my heart is very conflicted. As a mother, I naturally don't want A Luan to enter the muddy waters of the East Palace, but if His Majesty did not object to A Luan entering the East Palace, would we have a place to marching in the Dingguo Mansion?"

Afterwards, Mrs. Xiao was murmured quietly as if she was talking to herself.

Although the volume was extremely low, Madam Lin could still hear it clearly. However, no matter how clearly she could hear it, she could not answer it. So Madam Lin had to lower her eyebrows and bow her head, as if she didn't hear it.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xiao didn't want her to answer the conversation. After saying that, she fell silent again. After a while, she sighed softly, "Maybe... you are right. Some things, A Luan should know."

Xie Xuan was not as entangled as her mother. When she returned to her yard, she ate a bowl of hot noodle soup that Madam Li had someone to put in. Then, she stood up and walked and ate for a while, then washed and went to bed.

She had no dreams all night. Early the next morning, when Madam Li looked at several maids to help her wash, she casually said that she would go to the main courtyard to be punished today.

Madam Li was very surprised and asked a few questions for why, because it was not good for Xie Xuan to say that matter. Even without the instructions of the Crown Princess, Xie Xuan also planned to keep her mouth shut. Therefore, when Madam Li asked, she only said vaguely that she had made a mistake and made her mother unhappy, so her mother wanted to punish her.

Madam Li was a little worried, but seeing Xie Xuan's calm look, she thought that such things often happened over the years. She thought that the wife was just looking for reasons to break up with the girl. Although the results were not good, the wife still enjoyed it.

Of course, this kind of parenting is understandable. No matter what the wife thinks, it is all for the girl’s good.

Thinking of this, Madam Li was even more at ease. When Xie Xuan left, she was not so panicked, but she couldn't help but let Zhuxi go and take a look.

It was not until Zhuxi came back that the lady had punished the girl to copy the girl and stopped scolding her. Madam Li was completely relieved and had the heart to do something else.

In the second entrance of the main courtyard, in the banquet room of Mrs. Xiao, it is said that Xie Xuan, who was punished to copy the girl, was expressionless at this moment, and her eyebrows were not moved. She said that she had written the girl in front of her, who was dressed and even her in a very similar manner to her. Then, under a wink of Mrs. Xiao, she turned around and followed Mrs. Xiao through the banquet room and came to the inner room where Mrs. Xiao lived on her daily life.

Qiuli, Qiutang, who served by Mrs. Xiao, and even Madam Lin, stopped outside the inner door. Madam Lin also covered the door with her own hands and then guarded outside the door.

Mrs. Xiao and Xie Xuan and her daughter did not talk, and walked lightly through most of the inner room almost silently, and came to a wall of Duobao Pavilion.

There are various antique treasures on Duobao Pavilion, among which is a bronze Pixiu, which is majestic.

Mrs. Xiao walked closer, but reached out and broke the head of the Pixiu off. Then, she put it on the opposite side and heard a thorn, as if the chains were sliding. Then, the Duobao Pavilion on the wall was divided into two from the middle, sliding about inch in the left and right directions, revealing the wall behind the Duobao Pavilion.

Mrs. Xiao squatted down and stretched out her hand to pull it at the bottom of the wall. It turned out that there was a handle of the same color as the wall at the bottom of the wall. Because of Mrs. Xiao's pull, a secret door appeared between the wall in front of her.

The door has opened, and a door hole appeared with a black hole, and one or two steps can be seen vaguely extending down the hole.

Mrs. Xiao took a box from Duobao Pavilion, opened it, took out a bead the size of a fist and held it in the palm of her palm, and then took the skirt and walked along the stone steps into the door hole. From beginning to end, she didn't say hello to Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan was not at all dissatisfied. Seeing Mrs. Xiao walking down, she followed her up without hesitation. Not to mention the strange face, she even had an inexplicable sense of familiarity in her actions.

After walking two steps down, the secret door of the agency closed again above their heads, but the darkness was not sunk in front of them. They all originated from the bead in Mrs. Xiao's hand. It turned out to be a night pearl.

The two of them silently went down the ten stone stairs and came to the flat ground. Mrs. Xiao took advantage of the light of the night pearl in her hand and walked to the side, skillfully took the fire stick, and after blowing it, she lit a candlelight. In an instant, the room lit up.

This secret room is quite large. On one side, it looks like a study room. The three walls are full of large bookshelfs. The shelves are full of books. On the empty side is a large pineapple flower and wood case with pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. Aside, there is a large pastel jar thick with one person, and there are more than a dozen painting scrolls inserted into the jar.

Although there is no light, there are a few glass lamps, either hanging or standing, illuminating the entire study room with bright lights, as if it was daylight.

On the other side, it was more like a utility room, with all kinds of things in it, and shelves with two walls in one corner, looking like a medicine cabinet.

There was a secret door next to the medicine cabinet, and I didn’t know what was behind it.

It is not unusual for a noble family like the Duke of Ding to have such a secret room.

However, this secret room was actually in Mrs. Xiao's bedroom, and it was not piled up with gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, but such arrangements seemed a bit strange.

What’s even more strange is that Xie Xuan seemed to be coming to this secret room for the first time. She didn’t look around curiously. Instead, she rolled up her sleeves and said, “I don’t know how my mother wants to punish me today? Do you make medicine or drug production? Or, practice your skills?”

Mrs. Xiao didn't say anything, but her face was as deep as water and looked at Xie Xuan. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "You seem to disagree with the 'shadow' I prepared for you?"

Xie Xuan rolled up her sleeves and paused slightly, lowered her eyes, and thought carefully about what her mother meant today? A question I haven't paid attention to for so long, but why did she remember to ask today?

Xie Xuan thought for a moment in her heart, then paused slightly. After a while, she raised her head and said, "Does my mother want to listen to me tell the truth?"

Mrs. Xiao frowned fiercely, "Ask you, just say, where did you learn the twists and turns?"

Xie Xuan cleared her throat, OK! But you want me to say it!
