"Mother, let's go in first." Xiao Ruyi seemed to feel that there were appraising eyes around her, and couldn't help but urge her mother.
Mrs. Xiao looked at her daughter's appearance, snorted coldly at the concierge, and led the people into the house in a big way.
In the Ning Mansion, the mother and daughter were very familiar with each other, and there was no need for anyone to guide them.
Behind the two of them, there were several guards from the Xiao family, holding long sticks as thick as their arms in their hands and walking steadily and powerfully. They were all martial arts practitioners.
"Why do I look at these people so strangely?"
On the way to the front hall, Mrs. Xiao noticed something was wrong.
Xiao Ruyi had no intention of looking at the faces of these servants at this time. When she heard her mother's words, she just said perfunctorily: "Yesterday, that bitch from the Fei Jiu Gang humiliated me and ruined my reputation. Does my mother still want to
Do you want to keep him?"
Before Mrs. Xiao said anything more, the two of them came to the front hall.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a sarcastic laugh: "Cousin, what's wrong? Is there something on your face that makes you shy to see others?"
It was okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Xiao Ruyi was so angry that he tore off the gauze on his face, gritted his teeth and looked at Ning Qingyan: "Ning Qingyan, do you still have the nerve to say it? If you hadn't been in front of everyone yesterday
You are stirring up trouble and spreading rumors and slandering me. Do I need to hide my face?"
Yesterday, there were so many people outside the Ning Mansion, and what happened had already been spread throughout the entire capital, and she couldn't stop them.
For a time, her reputation as Xiao Ruyi fell to the bottom. Some people even threw rotten eggs and rotten stones outside the gate of Xiao's mansion, causing her to be complained and humiliated by others at home.
All this is because of Ning Qingyan!
Fortunately, the imperial edict conferring marriage was delivered to the Xiao Mansion last night, allowing her to escape from this predicament.
"Spreading rumors? Spreading rumors and slandering? Cousin, everything I said is true!" Ning Qingyan's eyes were slightly cold and her tone was playful.
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Xiao looked at Ning Qingyan, who was sitting in the first place, with a cold face, and then glanced at Li Yangzhou and the other two people standing beside her, and couldn't help but smile with contempt: "Who do I think gave it to you?
How dare you treat my aunt like this."
Ning Qingyan blinked and said in a sincere tone: "Aunt? Did you make a mistake? What do I, Ning Qingyan, want to do, why do I need others to give me courage?"
"Ha! You're not stupid anymore, I think you're still that stupid." Mrs. Xiao sneered: "Ning Qingyan, I kindly took care of you when you grew up, but this is how you repay me now?"
"My aunt's kindness will never be forgotten by me." Ning Qingyan smiled with a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of cold light.
"You!" Mrs. Xiao was furious.
Ning Qingyan's attitude and the feeling that everything was out of control made her angry and frightened.
"Let me ask you, where are Housekeeper Fei and the others?" Mrs. Xiao asked.
"Sold." Ning Qingyan said lightly.
"Sell it? How dare you..."
"Why don't I dare? They are the slaves bought by my Ning Mansion. What do they have to do with the ones named Xiao? Or maybe my aunt wants to tell me that those slaves with long backbones are named Xiao?" Ning Qingyan interrupted Xiao directly.
Madam's words.
Mrs. Xiao was so angry that her face turned blue and white, and her fingers holding the brocade handkerchief were trembling slightly.
Yesterday, my daughter ran home crying and said that Ning Qingyan came back from the dead and was no longer stupid. She still didn't believe it.
I didn’t expect to see it today, it’s really like this!
"Ning Qingyan, you are just an orphan from a run-down general's mansion now. Even the Crown Prince of Zhou doesn't want you anymore. What do you have to be proud of?" Seeing that her mother was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Ning Qingyan, Xiao Ruyi asked
I couldn't help but speak.
Hearing her voice, the coldness in Mrs. Xiao's eyes turned into arrogance again. "Qingyan, look at you, it's a good thing to come back from the dead, but you caused such an incident yesterday and angered Prince Zhou's Mansion. By the way,
I'm afraid you don't know yet. Now that your engagement with Prince Zhou's son has been cancelled, my Ru'er is the one who is going to marry into Prince Zhou's palace."
"So, this is your purpose today, isn't it? You came to me specifically to show off? I thought you were your cousin. You thought clearly about the answers to my questions yesterday and you came here to answer me today." Ning Qingyan's lips were filled with sarcasm.
smile.
Mrs. Xiao's eyes darkened again.
When Xiao Ruyi heard her mention yesterday, a sinister light flashed through her eyes, and her eyes showed pride: "Sister Qingyan, you see, no matter how you slander me, Xingyao won't believe it."
"Then I will first wish you a long life together and never be apart." Ning Qingyan's face did not have the pain and jealousy that Xiao Ruyi expected, but was very sincere.
"Sister Qingyan, don't be too sad!" Xiao Ruyi continued to stimulate Ning Qingyan.
The smile at the corner of Ning Qingyan's mouth gradually widened. Amid the doubts of the Xiao mother and daughter, she said slowly and slowly like a banshee: "What should I be sad about? It's me who is the one to marry my cousin to the Crown Prince of Zhou."
I asked for it from Your Majesty."
"What?!"
Mother Xiao and her daughter were shocked.
"Since cousin likes to use my things so much, then I can leave the rubbish I don't want to my cousin. Aunt, cousin, you don't have to be too grateful to me."
Ning Qingyan's words made the mother and daughter tremble with anger.
The Crown Prince of Zhou, whom Xiao Ruyi had always longed for, seemed not to be so popular anymore.
'Ning Qingyan doesn't want it... Ning Qingyan doesn't want it...'
Xiao Ruyi kept repeating this sentence in her mind.
Bang!
Suddenly, the Xiao mother and daughter were awakened by the sound.
Ning Qingyan stood up and slapped the table. With her eyes in shock, she suppressed the smile on her face and said with indifferent eyes: "This is Ning's Mansion, and only people named Ning are the masters. In the future, if my aunt comes to visit, she will also
Remember to send the name card to the concierge according to the rules."
In the shock of mother and daughter, Ning Qingyan suddenly smiled again, but that smile was creepy.
"Also, Your Majesty has pointed out a marriage for me. According to seniority, when my cousin and the Crown Prince of Zhou see me from now on, they will call me aunt."
"Starting from today, my family will count the dowry for me. Those items named Ning that my aunt borrowed before should also be returned. Otherwise, in the dowry registered by the royal family, there is something that does not match the number or is missing.
I have no choice but to repay His Majesty the truth."
"You... threaten me!"
"Mother!"
Mrs. Xiao's legs were weakened by the news one after another. At this time, Ning Qingyan looked like a ghost in her eyes.
Ning Qingyan shook her head and showed three fingers. "I only give you three days. My aunt's arrival today is just in time. If you hadn't come, I might have forgotten about it. Wouldn't this be another day of wasting my aunt's day?"
This sentence made Mrs. Xiao's face pale again.
Xiao Ruyi supported her mother and felt that horrible feeling coming back again! Just like she had at the gate of Ning Mansion yesterday.
"Also, are those martial arts practitioners brought by my aunt? To teach me a lesson?" Ning Qingyan's eyes fell lightly on the people carrying sticks outside the door.
"No, it's not!" Mrs. Xiao quickly denied.
She looked at Ning Qingyan with shock and fear in her eyes. Without waiting for Ning Qingyan to say anything else, she pulled Xiao Ruyi away in a hurry.
Three days!
She only has three days! Otherwise Ning Qingyan...
Mrs. Xiao's inner clothes were wet with cold sweat. It was the first time she knew that Ning Qingyan, who was not stupid, could be so scary!
