She had indeed borrowed her hand to slap Yang in the face as the old lady had guessed. However, more importantly, with the old lady's words, even if Granny Li went to plead in front of Yang, Yang
It is impossible for Mrs. Li to risk offending the old lady by attending Zhou Quan Gui'an's funeral. In this way, even if Grandma Li is a saint, she cannot not have any resentment towards Mrs. Yang in her heart.
What's more, the fact that the Gui'an Society ended up like this was partly due to Yang and Xie Xu.
yes.
She just wanted to see Grandma Li and the Yang family turn against each other!
She was so miserably plotted by the Yang family in her previous life, and there was no shortage of Grandma Li's handiwork in it.
Without Aunt Li to advise Yang, Yang would be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, so it was not worth her effort. She could also spare her time to focus on Xie Feng.
How should she convince her father that her second uncle was involved in the party struggle?
Gui'an's death was like a small pebble. Apart from making the master feel uncomfortable for a while, it could not make even a splash in the pool of water in the Marquis Mansion.
No one cares about the life or death of a servant.
What's more, New Year's Eve is coming soon.
Everyone was busy taking down the old lanterns from the corner of the corridor and hanging up the brand new red lanterns. They also had to hang up the newly taken red silk and satin from the warehouse. Every corner of the Hou Mansion had to be carefully cleaned.
The stewards of the outer courtyard were also busy counting the New Year's goods, and then sent people to distribute the New Year's goods to each room according to portions.
Everyone is busy.
Everyone also had a smile on their face.
Everyone is guessing how much reward they can get during the Chinese New Year this year.
No one remembers that someone close to them died.
People's hearts can be so cold sometimes.
It was at this time that Xiao Muqing came to visit. She first went to Ronghuayuan to meet the old lady. The old lady happily held her hand and praised her carefully, and then asked insinuatingly about the princess's return to Beijing.
Xiao Muqing felt impatient. Just when she could no longer pretend, Xie Wu arrived.
"Ah Wu." Xiao Muqing shouted excitedly, as if he had seen a savior.
Looking at Princess Xiao's expression, Xie Wu smiled brightly. She walked up to Xiao Muqing and blessed her, calling her softly, "Princess." After bowing, she stood up and bowed to the old lady again, "
grandmother."
"Well, get up. The princess has been waiting for you for a long time." The old lady put away the smile on her face and looked at Xie Wu with a calm expression.
"Yes." Xie Wu smiled and straightened up.
"Ah Wu, didn't you say last time that grandma's Yangzhou cuisine in your room was good? That's why I came here!" Xiao Muqing said while holding Xie Wu's hand and winking at her.
"Yes, knowing that the princess is coming, I have asked Aunt Luo to prepare." Xie Wu said with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!" Xiao Muqing took Xie Wu's arm and followed Shan Ruliu.
Xie Wu smiled again. She raised her eyes and looked at the old lady, "Grandma."
"Okay, since the princess has said it, then you can take the princess back to Cui to be hospitalized." The old lady also saw that Commander Xiao was impatient to deal with her, so she waved her hand and said to Xie Wu.
"Yes." Xie Wu responded with a smile, not forgetting to salute the old lady again before leaving.
Seeing the back figures of Xiao Muqing and Xie Wu walking away quickly and intimately, the old lady's eyes narrowed slightly.
As soon as she left Ronghuayuan, Xiao Muqing finally let go of Xie Wu's arm. She let out a long breath, then turned to look at Xie Wu angrily and said, "Why did you come so late? If you don't come, I will be killed by your old lady."
So annoying!"
After saying that, she breathed out again.
Xie Wuyan smiled and teased her, "No wonder you just dragged me away so fast. I don't know, I thought there was something chasing you behind you."
"But there's nothing chasing you. I don't believe you didn't notice the 'coolness' on your back." Xiao Muqing looked at Xie Wu and said pointedly.
Xie Wu smiled and did not answer Xiao Muqing's words.
Xiao Muqing was a little unwilling, so she raised her eyebrows and continued to say tentatively to Xie Wu, "Your old lady seems to be very average to you!" "So?"
He raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Muqing chuckled, then stretched out his hand to hold Xie Wu's arm again, "You are right not to care. This old lady of yours is really a mature woman, and she has seventeen or eighty thoughts in every sentence!
"
If Xie Wu is really close to this old lady, then she may not be able to come to Wu'an Hou Mansion often in the future.
Xie Wu couldn't hold it back and laughed again, "The princess can tell that there are 17 or 18 evil thoughts in my grandmother's words. You are not easy either!"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about your old lady! How long until she arrives in your courtyard?" Xiao Muqing quickly interrupted Xie Wu.
"Come on, it's just ahead." Xie Wu pointed to the front and said with a smile.
When Xiao Muqing heard this, his face lit up with joy and he immediately squinted his feet faster.
Xie Wu was pulled by her, but the smile on her face gradually faded away.
Grandma would not lie to Ah Qing for no reason. The Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and the Ministry of Revenue had no relevant relationship. Moreover, just a few days ago, the old lady was just looking at the banquet hosted by Princess Zhennan as if she were watching a show.
So, she has no reason to get involved in these things? Did someone say something in front of her?
Second uncle?
Xie Wu's left eyelid suddenly twitched hard twice.
Because a very scary thought suddenly flashed through her mind, that is—grandmother, she might know that her second uncle was also involved in the party struggle!
"Ah Wu, what are you thinking about?"
Suddenly a shadow flashed across her eyes, and Xie Wu woke up from her thoughts. Only then did she realize that she was already home.
Seeing that Xie Wu had regained consciousness, Xiao Muqing smiled, took his hand back and said, "What were you thinking about just now, so lost in thought?"
Xie Wu shook her head, "Nothing. Princess, please sit down."
Xiao Muqing glanced at her and knew that she didn't want to talk, so he dropped the topic with a smile, "Auntie by the way? I felt a little regretful that I didn't see her at the last banquet."
Xie Wu curved her lips and smiled, "Mother should be making arrangements in the small kitchen. I've already sent someone to invite her."
Xiao Muqing laughed and said, "I didn't expect my aunt to be so hospitable, so I will have to come and disturb you more often in the future." After that, she seemed to suddenly think of something, lowered her head and took it out of her arms, and picked up a green bottle.
The emerald bamboo hairpin came up, "Here, this is for you!"
Xie Wu smiled and said, "The princess wants to give me a gift?"
Xiao Muqing twitched the corner of his mouth, thrust the bamboo hairpin into Xie Wu's hand, and then forcefully spat out two words, "Meal money!"
Seeing Princess Xiao's awkward look, Xie Wu finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Thank you very much, Princess, I will take good care of it."
Princess Xiao's face turned red.
She has never given gifts to anyone, and Xie Wu was the first person to receive her gifts.
She heard that the courtyard where she lived was called Cuizhu Courtyard, so she felt that she was worthy of this hairpin.
Anyway, she doesn't like him either.
"By the way, I originally thought that Lu Er was bringing back the iron-eating beast to give to Sister Rong, but I didn't expect that my brother made a fool of himself and said that Lu Er was raising the iron-eating beast to give to the future.
Wife’s.”
Xie Wu frowned, and the smile on her lips turned away unconsciously, "Really?"
"No! Lu Er said it to my brother himself! I don't know which girl is so obsessed with being Lu Er's wife!" Princess Xiao sighed while clicking her tongue.
When Princess Xiao said this, she completely forgot that when she was a child, she cried and shouted that she wanted to marry Lu Zhan.
Xie Wu lowered her eyes and smiled, but still did not answer Princess Xiao's words.
Looking at the capital, there are so many things that can't be thought of for a girl who wants to marry Lu Er as his wife. Not to mention, there is someone in their prince's house who wants to get married to Lu Zhan regardless of reputation.
"Hey, Wu, isn't Lu Er your cousin? Do you know who your future cousin is?" Xiao Muqing blinked.
"Princess, Second Young Master Lu only called me cousin for the sake of my aunt. Neither he nor I took it seriously. Why did the Princess take it seriously?" Xie Wu looked at Xiao Muqing with a smile.
Xiao Muqing blinked. She stared at Xie Wu for a while, but couldn't see anything from her face. So, she had to laugh and said, "No, I just felt that Lu Er treated you that day."
The attitude is a bit...a bit intriguing, I thought, maybe you will know?"
Xie Wu looked at Xiao Muqing, and suddenly she laughed, her eyes sparkling, and her voice was as clear as spring water jumping in the mountains, "Princess, you didn't come to my place to eat Yangzhou cuisine today, right?"
"Who said that? Of course I'm here to eat Yangzhou food!" Xiao Muqing retorted without thinking. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she had spoken too quickly, so she quickly added, "
By the way, I came to see you too."
Xie Wuyan smiled, and imitated Xiao Muqing's behavior just now, blinked at her, and said, "Then why did you start talking about Mr. Lu as soon as you came in? Princess, are you looking at Lu?
You are now the second young master!"
"Nonsense! Am I so confused?" Xiao Muqing glared and refuted Xie Wu in displeasure.
"Then Princess, why..." Xie Wu curled her lips to express her disbelief.
Xiao Muqing gave Xie Wu a hard look and said with great disgust, "What are you thinking about? If Lu Er scolded me in the past, I will hate him for the rest of my life! Unless I fall in love with him, I will be blinded by shit!"
"Then why did the princess ask about Second Young Master Lu?" Xie Wu asked again with a smile.
She didn't really doubt that Ah Qing liked Lu Zhan. After all, in her previous life, Ah Qing had made a list of the people she hated most, and Lu Zhan had always been at the top, one place higher than the prince.
The reason why she said this was because she felt that Ah Qing's behavior today was indeed a bit unexpected.
"I'm not interested in it, but I can't stand my mother's eyesight." Xiao Muqing rolled her eyes hard and said.
Ever since her mother knew that Lu Zhan had come up with such a brilliant idea for Zhennan Palace, the look in Lu Zhan's eyes was as close as that of her own daughter, especially after she visited Yunlu Palace and learned from Princess Ning'an that Lu Zhan had not yet
When they got married, they immediately came up with the idea of kidnapping Lu Zhan back to be his son-in-law.
In her mother's words, Lu Zhan is good-looking, has a good family background, and has a good mind. If she hadn't been friends with Princess Ning'an, how could she have imagined someone like Lu Zhan!
At that time, she almost fell down after listening to her mother's words. She didn't care about her brother's explanation and vomited out the story about Lu Zhan having a sweetheart on the spot. However, she didn't expect that her mother didn't believe it. She must have deliberately smeared Lu Zhan.
, she even called her brother over for questioning, and she didn’t expect her brother Xiao Mubei to betray him on the spot and say that he never said that...
Thinking of this, Xiao Muqing felt that his head started to buzz and hurt again.
"Ah Wu." Princess Xiao took Xie Wu's hand, "Don't you really know who Lu Er likes? Do you know? If I can't find such a person, my mother will live forever
I’m going to propose marriage to Princess Ning’an next year!”
"But it's not always the man who proposes marriage..."
"Do you think my mother is someone who cares about these red tapes?" Xiao Muqing gritted his teeth and cut off Xie Wu's words.
Seeing Princess Xiao gritting her teeth and looking hopeless, Xie Wu finally couldn't help laughing, "Princess, it's not that I won't help you, I really don't know, or... you go ask Lu
Second Young Master?"
Princess Xiao's eyes rolled, and then they suddenly lit up.
Sure enough, Ah Wu is still smart!
She was almost confused by her mother! Why didn't she think of asking Lu Zhan?
