In Zhu Yu Pavilion, Mo Xi walked in gracefully alone, and the maid waiting at the door hurriedly greeted him: "Fifth Miss, the Second Madam asked the servants to wait for you at the door."
Mo Xi nodded and followed the maid into the Yangxin Pavilion, where the second room usually entertained guests and had meals.
Although this second lady was not born into an official position, she was still a young lady from a wealthy family. Her daily dress and diet were not that casual, but she looked somewhat pompous. The place where guests were entertained was also particularly well decorated.
Luxurious and rich.
Mo Xi has seen the First Lady's Peony Pavilion, which is truly magnificent. Although it is not as good as the First Lady's place, the dining table in the hall is made of fine teak wood, and the decorative items are also quite exquisite.
"Hey, Xi'er is here? I'm waiting for you and Lan'er. Why hasn't Lan'er come yet?" The second lady, Qin Ruotao, stepped forward to say hello warmly.
The corner of Mo Xi's lips curled up with a hint of coldness, "Xi'er? Lan'er?" When the second lady said this title, didn't her lips feel numb? She wasn't numb, but Mo Xi felt goosebumps all over his body.
The Second Madam behaved so abnormally that even a fool could see her intentions. She probably didn't know that the words 'Hongmen Banquet' were clearly written on her face!
"Second Niang and Third Sister are so polite..." Mo Xi restrained the coldness in his eyes and looked at Qin Ruotao's touching smile and responded. Since we want to act, let's act together. She is not a vegetarian.
of.
A flash of doubt flashed across Qin Ruotao's eyes. The fifth lady's attitude did surprise her, but business was more important at the moment. Now, let's have good food, drink, and attitude, and greet them all, and then settle the accounts with them.
At this moment, the eldest young lady Mo Yingluo and the fourth young lady Mo Lan also arrived one after another. Everyone sat down at the dining table. The second lady then ordered the maid: "Go and urge the third young lady. Why haven't you come over yet? Let me ask my sister and my sister.
It’s outrageous to wait for her alone.”
After a while, the third lady, Mo Yunshi, also appeared in the Yangxin Pavilion. Her eyes just glanced across Mo Xi's face lightly, and there was nothing strange about it, just like the big fuss in Qingyuan the night before had never happened.
It's like it never happened.
"Everyone, please pick up some vegetables to eat, eat..." the second lady, Qin Ruotao, said as she enthusiastically picked up some vegetables for Mo Xi and Mo Lan. Her charming voice could almost drown people: "Xi'er, Lan'er, you all eat more.
Look, you are so thin that you look like you could be blown away by a gust of wind. What has happened in the past is in the past. If my second mother and your third sister have any regrets, please bear with me a little more..."
Mo Xi smiled, while Mo Lan, who was sitting next to her, was restless. Mo Xi glanced at her meaningfully: "Sister, Er Niang is so sincere, we can't live up to her kindness."
