The fact that Xie Songhua delivered herbal tea to various courtyards sounded the alarm in Xie Shuhua's heart, and she subconsciously thought it was Aunt Lan who suggested it.
Aunt Lan is from the outer courtyard, and her opinions are Xie Yuncang's. So, Xie Yuncang has actually started to think about Xie Songhua?
This is not good news for her, and she has to deal with it carefully. As long as Xie Songhua is in this family, she will always remind others that she is just a fake lady born from a commoner!
Now it is no longer realistic to directly kill him. Even Sun's mother has gone around. If she takes action again, she is afraid that the fire will directly burn her body. She has to find a way to restrain Xie Songhua's current actions!
If the other party really develops her own power in this house, I'm afraid she will fall into passivity.
Therefore, she almost immediately drew attention to Xie Songhua's movements in Mengpo Zhai, which was not a difficult task for her.
After all, although Xie Songhua now lives in Mengpozhai, he is protected by Xie Yuncang.
But her foundation is not stable after all. Not to mention anything else, everyone in the house is not very familiar with her.
Except for a few people given by Xie Yuncang, almost no one would take her seriously.
Everyone knows that she is only staying in the outer courtyard temporarily and will have to come back after the rituals at Yanchuntai are over.
The master will not care about the affairs of the inner house, and she will eventually fall back into the hands of the wife.
In the inner house, the wife is heaven, so the third girl whom the wife dotes on is the first person in everyone's eyes who must be treated with care.
Therefore, Xie Shuhua didn't need anyone to keep an eye on Xie Songhua. She just asked the maids around her to speak out. Most of them wanted to please her people.
Therefore, Xie Shuhua's story of secretly asking people at the second door to pawn jewelry soon fell on Xie Shuhua's ears.
The old lady who came to report said with all her heart, "The master asked people to take those jewelry from the warehouse some time ago. The old slave can see clearly. In the past two days, the fourth girl has asked the old lady Qian to help her pick them up."
When she went out to sell, she was not stupid enough to take out such big ones. They were just small bead flowers. Mrs. Qian came here to take advantage of the original Mrs. Liu. She didn't know anything about the inner courtyard, so she just took it as a sign of flattery.
Four girls."
Xie Shuhua sneered in her heart, look, some people are starting to buy into Xie Songhua's fault, and they really treat her as a serious girl!
However, she said with worry on her face: "Oh, it's true that the fourth sister is just a softie with my mother. If you insist on being stubborn like this, your life is so tight now, let your father see it."
It feels like my mother has treated her badly."
The mother-in-law then said that Xie Songhua was ignorant, but Xie Shuhua waved her hands quickly, "Mom, don't say that. The fourth sister has just come, so naturally she doesn't know the rules of a family like ours. It will be fine later. I am also worried about her."
She did something wrong to be stared at like this, I just hope she can change her temper soon."
After the mother-in-law walked away obediently, Xie Shuhua immediately shouted out instructions to Xia Lu, whom she trusted most, and then sneered: "Give me the excuse yourself, but don't blame me for targeting you."
As jewelry, she couldn’t even think of it!
For a wealthy family like theirs, if word spread that the female family members in the mansion wanted to use jewelry to live off their lives, Xie Yuncang would not want to do it in front of others.
It was one thing that she was not familiar with Xie Yuncang, but Xie Shuhua knew very well what kind of person Xie Yuncang was.
Others may not be important, but face is the most important thing.
Aren’t you good at climbing big trees? Let’s see if you can climb steadily!
Xie Songhua is still living her free life unconsciously. It has to be said that ancient times are still better than modern times in some conveniences.
Such as the atmosphere of various festivals.
In the previous life of Xie Songhua, in the new century, many traditional festivals no longer had much atmosphere.
I didn’t expect that in this era, even the sixth day of June would be so lively.
Aunt Lan told Xie Songhua with a smile that this day is the hottest day of the year. There is June 6th here in the capital. There is a custom of drying clothes and books to ensure that there will be no insects for a year.
When drying the clothes, silk, etc. in the warehouse, the maids and women below will naturally help.
But the Xie family is a big family of poetry and books. Xie Yuncang alone has a large collection of books. There is also a special library in the southeast corner of the garden.
Every year, the three brothers Xie Yuncang take the children in the house to dry the books together. These are the accumulation of several generations and are an important thing for the Xie family.
Moreover, all the children in the house, both male and female, are educated and literate, so this is also an inherited ceremony.
Xie Songhua came from the countryside and naturally had little opportunity to study and read. Xie Yuncang hesitated for a while, but seeing that she was very interested, he took her there anyway.
When we arrived, there were already many people in the garden, and the shelves for drying books had already been set up.
Everyone was surprised to see Xie Yuncang bringing her here.
The seventh girl, Xie Sihua, was so young that she couldn't hold back her words. She pouted and said, "Why did you bring her with me? She doesn't know a single word, so she ruined the book when she turned around!"
The third master, Xie Feiwu, quickly stepped forward to hold his daughter, frowned and scolded her in a low voice, then greeted Xie Yuncang with a smile and told Xie Songhua not to take it seriously.
Xie Shuhua came early and was standing talking to Xie Li. When she saw this, she walked over quickly and said with a sweet smile, "I was just saying that I was afraid that the fourth sister wouldn't come! Today is a big day for our family.
It’s no exaggeration to say that this library is our family’s treasure house!”
While Xie Shuhua was talking, she was holding Xie Songhua's hand affectionately.
Xie Yuncang felt a little more at ease when he saw her being so warm. In any case, Xie Shuhua had been raising her as a legitimate daughter for so many years, so she still had a general understanding of her.
If she had been the matchmaker, maybe the problems between mother and daughter would be easier to resolve.
Xie Songhua felt very uncomfortable when she held her hand, but if she shook the other person's hand away at this time, she would be ignorant.
Therefore, they could only endure their nausea and the two acted harmoniously as sisters.
Xie Sihua over there rolled his eyes, "Talking to her so much, does she understand? It's all in vain..."
"Sihua!" Xie Feiwu's voice was a bit harsh this time, and Xie Sihua could only shut up in dissatisfaction.
Xie Feiwu said with some regret: "It's a pity that my eldest brother went on a trip with the children. I originally said that I would be back before today, but I didn't know that I couldn't make it."
Xie Yuncang said with a smile: "I arrived at the post station outside the city yesterday. I said I was leaving early this morning, so I should be able to make it in time."
Xie Shuhua was chatting with Xie Songhua, but her attention was on Xie Yuncang's words, and she felt relieved after hearing this.
Then he smiled and said: "Fourth sister, you don't know that our collection of books is one of the largest in the capital. Not only our own family, but also guests will come to join in the fun later."
