Chapter 35: Scared Me to Death, Scared Me to Death
"This is for you," she said as she pinned the sachet to Xiaoqiu's waist.
Xiaoqiu was overjoyed and asked, "Are you really giving it to me, miss?" She really liked this sachet and it looked like an expensive item.
Ningyuan is indeed an elegant and quiet place. The fragrance of narcissus is exuding. It is noon at this time and the servants are not there. Only the confidant is waiting for Mrs. Xiangning. When she sees Master Baoer coming in, she is greatly startled.
"Princess, princess?" Zhiyin almost knelt down, then ran to inform Mrs. Xiang Ning, and they came out in a moment.
"I have met the princess." Mrs. Xiang Ning is a little haggard and has no makeup on her face, so she looks a little pale and very endearing.
Bao'er was thinking, if she poisoned those fishes herself, how could she be so sad? But if it was acting, it would be too realistic and even more powerful than her.
Xiang Ning was resentful and worried. She didn't know why the princess came here, but she was sure that it was definitely not a good thing.
"I wonder why the princess is here?" Her tone was absolutely sour.
Bao'er smiled faintly, and Xiao Qiu answered on his behalf, "My princess was passing by this way, and suddenly she thought she hadn't eaten yet, but she was hungry again..."
Mrs. Xiangning wisely ordered, "My friend, go quickly and bring the desserts and pastries."
After finishing speaking, he forced a smile to Bao'er and said, "What a coincidence that the princess is here. My friend has just made some pastries and desserts. The princess will definitely like them if she tries them."
Bao'er sat down, Mrs. Xiangning stood beside her, not daring to sit down. Bao'er smiled faintly again. In this way, she learned from the eldest wife. Every time the eldest wife saw her mother, she would put on a fake show.
Her distant and unpredictable smile made my mother feel uneasy and at a loss every time she stood in front of the eldest lady. She didn’t know what the eldest lady wanted, and she was even more afraid of what the eldest lady would do to her.
She, Jian Baoer, is not afraid of anything, she is just afraid that the eldest lady will deal with her mother, and that cunning woman also knows her weakness, so she eats her to death
Now Bao'er has imitated this perfectly. As expected, Mrs. Xiang Ning is also uneasy and at a loss.
"Mrs. Xiangning, sit down and eat alone, how uncomfortable it is."
"I don't dare!"
"There are only two of us here, so we don't need to pay attention to so many etiquettes. Sit down." Bao'er's voice became more kind, and his sharp eyes were not so sharp at this time, and were a little softer.
After sitting down, Xiang Ning was a little restless. She tightly twisted the handkerchief with her hands, and her fingers were green. They were very elegant and beautiful hands. You could tell at a glance that she had been pampered and had never done any hard work. Unlike her Jian Baoer, she had a pair of palms.
Covered with thick calluses, she looks more like a maid than Xiaoqiu's, and doesn't look like a wealthy lady at all.
The bosom friend brought all the desserts and pastries over and said, "Princess, please take your time."
"This is blood swallow. It is very nourishing and nourishing the skin. It's not bad." Jian Bao'er commented very philistinely while eating. Xiang Ning was a little unaccustomed to it, and a flash of contempt flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, the princess is knowledgeable," Xiang Ning replied softly.
Bao'er's sharp eyes certainly caught that look. Her eyes turned and she saw a sachet hanging on Xiang Ning's waist, a very elegant and light-colored sachet.
Baoer praised, "Mrs. Xiangning's sachet is so beautiful. I wonder who embroidered it? Is it a close friend?"
