During the autumn hunt on the second day, King Qi really came to an end again.
Fortunately, this time he was fully prepared, and people like Duke Dingguo who were dismissed this time were too lazy to compete with him, so he easily won the title.
In the next few days, Princess Xiao of Zhennan Palace and Prince Dingguo all made gains, and Emperor Zhengxuan also gave gifts, but there was indeed no more 500 taels of gold.
Princess Xiao was sulky for two days because of this, and she didn't bother to end it again.
The last day of autumn hunting arrived in the blink of an eye. According to tradition, Emperor Zhengxuan would personally go hunting on the last day to show that the trip was complete.
Therefore, early that morning, Yulin Guard and Zuo Yiwei sent people to patrol the forest early, and even Jinyi Guard secretly transferred many people in.
Aunt Luo prepared breakfast early.
Although Xie Xu did not win the first prize, his performance in the past few days was pretty good. In addition, he was still young, so Emperor Zhengxuan made an exception and praised him a few times. Therefore, he was very energetic these past few days and followed him early.
The back of Grandma Luo's buttocks was waiting for her to throw it into her stomach.
Because Xie Wu didn't sleep well last night, she got up a little late this morning. After she had washed herself, Grandma Luo came in personally to let her go out to eat.
"Girl, did you not sleep well last night?" Looking at the dark circles in the corners of Xie Wu's eyes, Grandma Luo couldn't help but ask with concern.
Xie Wu pursed her lips, not knowing how to respond to Grandma Luo's words.
Fortunately, Aunt Luo didn't ask any more questions. She asked Miyue to put a layer of powder on the corners of Xie Wu's eyes, and then said to Xie Wu, "Girl, let's go out for breakfast! Otherwise, the second young master will be in a hurry."
.”
"Brother Xu, are you up so early?" Xie Wu said casually as she stood up.
"No, he got up early and shouted that he was hungry! Let the slave steam some more big meat buns for him!" Aunt Luo said with a smile.
After hearing what Grandma Luo said, Xie Wu couldn't help but smile, and her gloomy mood felt a little lighter.
When Xie Wu came out of the tent, she saw Xie Xu waiting there early. Seeing her coming, he greeted her with a smile, "Sister."
"Well, why did you get up so early today?" Xie Wu looked at him with a smile.
"I have to go find my brother-in-law later!" Xie Xu said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nanny Luo, Miyue, Suiyu and others immediately covered their mouths and started laughing.
Xie Wu frowned and was about to speak, but Xie Xu had already taken her hand and led her straight to the dining table, "Sister, hurry up! I'm really hungry! The buns that Grandma Luo made this morning are delicious.
Hey!"
Seeing the greedy look on Xie Xu's face, Xie Wu could only smile helplessly.
Seeing the two siblings sitting down, Grandma Luo quickly opened the lid.
The weather is cold on the grassland, especially in the morning, so you have to cover things with lids before they are ready, otherwise, the cooked meals will get cold after a while.
As soon as Grandma Luo opened the lid, Xie Xuliming closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "It smells so good! Sister, let's start quickly!"
Xie Wu smiled, and her eyes suddenly fell on the two empty seats next to them.
Xie Zheng is not here because he is on duty today, but Xie Shi is not here either...
"Girl, how about I send someone to urge the eldest son?" Sensing Xie Wu's gaze, Grandma Luo tentatively asked her.
Although the eldest son wanted to send the eldest son back last time, the eldest son hid in Mr. Hu's tent that night. Later, his majesty arranged a marriage between the girl and Mr. Lu. The prince was very happy and told the matter.
He uncovered it silently.
But even so, Aunt Luo still felt unhappy about Xie Shi.
Fortunately, Xie Shi probably knew that he was not lovable, so unless necessary, he rarely came out of his tent, and had his servants come over to get breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Because of this, Aunt Luo never thought of asking Xie Shi to come over for breakfast. If she hadn't seen Xie Wu snoring when she looked at where Xie Shi was sitting, Aunt Luo would never have asked this question.
talk.
She originally thought that Xie Wu would refuse, but she didn't expect that Xie Wu quickly followed her words and agreed, "Let Mi Yue go!"
After hearing Xie Wu's words, Grandma Luo couldn't help but look at Xie Wu in surprise, and Mi Yue did the same. However, she quickly came to her senses, said "yes", then turned around and walked away quickly.
.
"Sister, what are you calling him for? Doesn't he have a servant to bring him food?" Xie Xu pouted and said to Xie Wu in displeasure.
After the last incident, Xie Xu no longer refused to call Xie Shi's eldest brother. Every time he mentioned Xie, he replaced it with "he". Xie Zheng did call him twice, but Xie Xu didn't listen at all.
"What? Aren't the buns made by Grandma Luo delicious?" Xie Wu looked at Xie Xu with a smile.
Xie Xu pouted. When he thought about Xie Shi coming later, he felt very unhappy, but he couldn't refute his sister, so he had to stand up and say to Aunt Luo, "Auntie, pack some more buns for me."
, I’ll go find my brother-in-law and Brother Xiao.”
"Axu!" Xie Wu finally couldn't help but call Xie Xu.
Xie Xu pouted and winked at Aunt Luo.
Aunt Luo smiled, nodded towards Xie Xu, and then went down to pack the buns.
"Axu, Second Young Master Lu is Second Young Master Lu. You, you are not allowed to scream. What if someone hears you?" Xie Wu frowned and looked at Xie Xu with a serious face.
Xie Xu stuck out his tongue. He wanted to refute, but Xie Wu looked cold and solemn, so he had to curl up his lips and respond, "Sister, I understand. When there is an outsider, I won't call him brother-in-law..."
Xie Wu frowned, and when she was about to teach Xie Xu a lesson, she was interrupted by Aunt Luo who was returning.
"Second Young Master, the buns are packed. Three whole buns are enough!" Aunt Luo walked in and said to Xie Xu with a smile.
"That's enough, that's enough." Xie Xu smiled gratefully at Aunt Luo. He quickly took the bun from Aunt Luo's hand, then turned around and ran out without looking back.
"Girl, it's a good thing for us that the young master is getting close to the second young master Lu!" Seeing that Xie Wu's eyebrows were a little unhappy, Grandma Luo guessed it, so she hurriedly smiled and said to Xie Wu.
Xie Wu glanced at Grandma Luo and expressed no comment on her words.
Aunt Luo and Sui Yu looked at each other. Aunt Luo wanted to persuade her a few more words, but footsteps soon sounded outside.
"Sister, you, you are looking for me..." Xie Shi walked up to Xie Wu with some embarrassment and said.
"Sit down!" Xie Wu raised her eyebrows indifferently and said to Xie Shi.
Xie Shi raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Wu quickly. Although there was a layer of cold sweat on his palms, he had no choice but to sit down under Xie Wu's cold eyes.
Looking at the circle of darkness under Xie Shi's eyelids, Xie Wu unconsciously twitched the corners of her lips.
It seemed that she wasn't the only one who didn't sleep well last night.
Looking at Xie, who was sitting still with his head bowed, Xie Wu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and chuckled, and said, "You just sit like this and don't need breakfast?"
"Ah, oh, oh..." Xie Shi responded hurriedly, and then hurriedly reached out and picked up the chopsticks.
During this breakfast, Xie Shi didn't taste the food he ate. He finally managed to stay up until the breakfast was finished. He was about to find an excuse to leave, but Xie Wu's cold voice sounded first.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"No, no, I slept very well!" Xie Shi said repeatedly, but he immediately regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.
Because, after hearing what he said, Xie Wu curved her lips into a sarcastic smile without hesitation, "Really?"
"yes……"
Xie Wu looked at Xie Shi and chuckled again, "Ah Shi, do you have nothing to say to me?"
After hearing Xie Wu's words, Xie Shi's eyes visibly flashed, "I, I... Big sister, what do you want me to say?"
"What do you think?" Xie Wu raised her eyebrows and continued to stare into Xie Shi's eyes.
"I, I..." Xie Shi felt flustered. His palms became increasingly sticky and greasy, and even a layer of cold sweat gradually formed on his forehead.
Why did Xie Wu ask this? Does she know anything? But how should he answer? Tell the truth...
No!
no!
This is his only chance to stand up!
As long as things are done, then he will be His Majesty's savior! And their second brother-in-law will replace the first brother-in-law and become the real master of Wu'an Hou Mansion. When the time comes, whether it is Xie Wu or Xie Xu, they will have to rely on his breath to survive!
Thinking of this, Xie Shi's heart suddenly surged with infinite courage. This courage allowed him to finally raise his head and look directly into Xie Wu's gaze.
"Sister, I'm sorry about Shi Qi. My promise to Shi Qi was just a temporary solution. I didn't mean to harm you!" Xie Shi looked at Xie Wu and said solemnly.
After hearing Xie Shi's words, Xie Wu chuckled lightly and said, "Besides Shi Qi's matter, don't you have anything else to tell me?"
"What is the big sister referring to?" Xie Shi looked straight into Xie Wu's eyes and asked.
Even though his nails were deeply dug into his flesh, he still tried his best to stay calm in front of Xie Wu.
He can't lose!
Because this is not only related to his future, but also related to the future of the entire second room!
He must not lose!
Seeing Xie Shi staring at her with an almost stubborn look, Xie Wu raised her eyebrows slightly. She smiled and stood up holding the edge of the table, "Since you don't want to say it, then forget it, but Ah Shi, you have to remember, no matter it is
You, Second Aunt and Sister Xian, I have given you a chance!"
"Sister, what do you mean by this!" After hearing Xie Wu's words, Xie Shi's expression changed and he stood up suddenly.
"Then what do you think I mean?" Xie Wu raised her eyebrows and asked Xie Shi.
Xie Shi frowned and looked at Xie Wu. He pursed his lips again and again, but in the end he couldn't suppress the resentment towards Xie Wu in his heart. He glared at Xie Wu and said, "Sister, I really don't understand, what is the relationship between my mother and my sister?"
What's wrong with you, you treat them like that! Even if they did something wrong, don't forget, you were raised by my mother!"
This is what he hates most about Xie Wu!
She had grown up under the second wife's knee since she was a child, but as soon as the first brother came back, she immediately changed her face and helped Chen suppress his mother. She even forced her grandmother and father to ground her mother, and even sent Sister Xian to a poor house.
Qingyun Temple!
After hearing Xie Shi's words, Xie Wu sneered and said, "So, you also know that they did something wrong..."
Xie Shi frowned and was about to speak again when Xie Wu's cold voice rang out again.
"Everything has a cause and a result. You should be glad that your mother once raised me under her knees, otherwise, her end would not be just like this!" Xie Wu looked at Xie Shi coldly and said.
As soon as these words came out, Xie Shi couldn't help but sneered. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Wu and said, "What eldest sister said is that everything has a cause and effect! I remember it, and I hope you can remember it too, eldest sister!" Xie Shi finished speaking.
He tossed his long sleeves, turned his head and strode out.
