Xie Li pointed to the food box in Cui Lu's hand, "I just got the jujube and yam cake. I thought I might not sit with my fourth sister for a long time, so I came over to take a look."
As he spoke, he glanced into the room again and said, "Fourth sister, aren't you welcome?"
Xie Songhua was really worried, so Xie Li said deliberately: "I should have known that the fourth sister has always looked down on me, so I won't come to blame her."
As soon as she finished speaking, Na Cuixi said: "Fourth girl, we girls just got this plate of snacks and want to come over and enjoy them with the girl. Could it be that the girl doesn't even let us in? If you say this, we should still be treated as ours.
How did the girl offend you?"
Xie Songhua couldn't help but frowned. Inside, Xie Langhua still had needles stuck in his body!
If Xie Li saw this and ran to Mr. Qi to talk about it, Mr. Qi would probably come over and kill him immediately.
After all, he is the only legitimate son of the second wife. Even the old lady and Xie Yuncang will probably blame themselves.
However, this pair of master and servant are more powerful than others, and their ability to make casual accusations should not be underestimated.
Before I could think of what to say, Xie Langhua's voice came from inside, "What's wrong?"
When Xie Li heard this, he was immediately surprised and said: "Why is the second brother here?"
After saying that, he walked directly past Xie Songhua and went inside, "How come the second brother has time to come to the fourth sister? Could it be that the fourth sister is..."
Xie Songhua quickly turned around and followed, and then found that Xie Li's voice stopped mid-sentence.
Looking inside again, Xie Langhua was busy writing something with a pen.
"Second brother, what is this?" Xie Li came back to his senses and asked curiously.
Xie Langhua put down his pen and said, "Fifth sister is here. I have a set of things that I need to copy slowly and give to a friend. Unfortunately, there is no one else who can help. Seeing that the fourth sister's calligraphy is the most similar, I came over to call the fourth sister.
Sister, do me a favor."
After saying that, he asked Xie Li, "Are you looking for Fourth Sister for something?"
Xie Li never expected that Xie Langhua would come over and actually ask Xie Songhua to help her. She couldn't help but be a little stunned, "Ah? I...I have nothing to do, I just...come and sit down."
Xie Langhua nodded when he heard this, and then pointed to a location, "Then you can sit there! Fourth sister, let's continue."
Xie Songhua stared at this man dumbfounded, and couldn't help but admire him in his heart. It turns out that scholars are also very good at telling lies with open eyes!
She hurriedly walked over, pretended to pick up another pen, and stood next to Xie Langhua.
Xie Langhua actually gave her serious instructions on the key points of copying, and Xie Songhua followed suit with a pen beside her.
She practices calligraphy for an hour every day, so she doesn't feel tired at all while writing. It's like moving her calligraphy practice in the evening to the afternoon.
But Xie Li sitting beside her was a little bored, and Xie Shuhua asked her to find a way to send Xie Langhua away.
But now Xie Langhua is asking for help from Xie Songhua, how can he get away with it?
She originally thought of waiting for the two of them to get tired and take a rest, then think of a way to do it, but who knew that the two of them were sitting there, as if they were not tired at all, so focused that they didn't pay attention to any external matters.
Cuixi's face was full of excitement, finally having the opportunity to get in touch with the second young master so close.
But the second young master's eyes were all on the pen and paper and the fourth girl, which made her a little anxious.
After finally catching the opportunity, it can't just pass by quietly!
She was secretly anxious for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Second Master and Fourth Miss are working so hard, and I don't know anything else, so why don't I come and help you grind ink!"
Without the permission of both of them, Cuixi was a little unsure for a moment, so she turned to look at her girl. After getting the other's approval, she stepped forward decisively.
Who would have thought that as soon as I picked up the small copper pot, I stepped on something and it fell directly onto the desk.
One inkstone made her knock over the whole table.
All the things Xie Langhua and his sister had just written were stained by her, and even Xie Songhua's skirt was stained with ink.
There was a moment of silence in the room, and then there was an exclamation from Xie Songhua, and the brother and sister immediately scrambled to collect their things.
Xie Li over there was also frightened and rushed to help. Cui Lu's face was splashed with ink, but she was stunned and didn't know what to do.
The three people tried their best to save some of the manuscripts, but several were completely destroyed.
Seeing Xie Langhua's ugly face, Cuixi was so frightened that she almost burst into tears, "Second...Second young master, slave, I didn't mean it, slave..."
She didn't know what to say next, so she could only look at Xie Li for help.
Xie Li only felt that her scalp was numb. She was a concubine. Although she was still valued by her aunt, she never dared to compete with Xie Shuhua, let alone Xie Langhua.
At this moment, she was also panicked, and could only stumble and plead to Cuixi, "Looking at her, it's just..."
"Okay, okay!" Xie Langhua interrupted her, but his face was very ugly, "Don't waste our time anymore, I don't have time to reprimand you, you go back first!"
Without waiting for Xie Li to speak, she turned to Xie Songhua and said, "Fourth sister, please ask a maid to come in and clean up."
Cuixi quickly took action, "Let me come, I will do my best..."
Under Xie Langhua's stern eyes, he couldn't say the next words, and he put down the things in his hands.
Xie Li's face turned red, and she stretched out her hand to pull Cuixi behind her, then saluted Xie Langhua, "Well, I'll take my leave now."
After everyone walked out of the courtyard, Xie Langhua came back to his senses. Then he saw Xie Songhua looking at him as if he was looking at something rare, and he couldn't help but cough slightly in embarrassment.
"Why do you have to help me like this?"
Xie Songhua's words went directly to the core. Starting from Xie Li, he had been helping her act, copying the works of masters, and deliberately making Cui Wei make mistakes so that they, the master and servant, could not stay together.
It is estimated that Xie Li will not dare to come here to inquire anymore.
But why?
Why is Xie Langhua willing to help him like this?
She is Xie Shuhua's mortal enemy, and Xie Shuhua is his most beloved sister.
Xie Langhua couldn't hide the discomfort on his face, but after a while, he still said seriously: "I finally have a chance to apologize to you."
In her surprised eyes, Xie Langhua sighed, "No matter what, you are my sister after all. I was somewhat biased against you because of Shu'er, and I did something sorry for you. In your heart
It's right to distance yourself from me. In the final analysis, it's because I failed to fulfill my duty as a brother."
Xie Songhua never expected to hear such words from his mouth. After all, in her perception, this man was clearly a brainless man who only listened to what he believed!
"There have been several times when I wanted to say sorry to you, but I couldn't do it when I saw you. It was too feeble. Now that I can help you, there's no reason why I shouldn't do my best."
Xie Songhua looked at his face and suddenly felt that this person was actually not that annoying.
Human relationships are inherently close and distant, and it is human nature to subconsciously trust those close to you when something happens.
What's more, he knows and admits his mistakes, and is willing to repair the relationship between him and his brother and sister for this, which can be regarded as a fairly upright person.
Xie Songhua felt completely relieved and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay! Then you will be my experimental subject and I will forgive you."
Xie Langhua nodded with a smile and rolled up his sleeves, "Okay, let's get on with it!"
Because he clearly explained the relationship here, Xie Songhua felt no pressure to take action again, and the two of them cooperated well, which made her skills improve by leaps and bounds.
But that's all a thing for another day. It's November and the house is going to be lively again. Although the old lady said it's not appropriate to make any big arrangements now, after all, Xie Qian's wedding date has been set long ago and cannot be changed.
As a result, the government began to get busy with the matter of Xie Qian leaving the cabinet.
