Hua Ying was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Girl, this Miss Yan, after all, is a legitimate daughter, how come she is so unpopular?"
Xu Qingmo picked up the book he read yesterday and smiled: "Some things are either snatched or yours!"
Hua Ying still didn't understand and looked confused.
"Actually, what many people value about the so-called legitimate daughter is not her status, but the upbringing she received as a legitimate daughter!" Xu Qingmo said softly, "Although she was adopted into the name of Mrs. Yan, she is still raised by her biological mother. of!"
"Ah? He has already been passed on to Mrs. Yan, so how can he be raised by a concubine?" Qu Lian, who was on the side, was even more shocked after hearing this.
"That concubine is a man with some tricks. Uncle Yan and Mrs. Yan are a young couple and have a good relationship. This concubine interfered and finally forced the couple to give Yan Junuo the status of a legitimate daughter. This woman , It’s so tight!” Xu Qingmo said lightly.
Hua Ying was a little flustered: "The girl also asked her to live in the house, just in case..."
"Just treat her as a guest!" Xu Qingmo interrupted Hua Ying, "If you have nothing to do, ignore her, and don't provoke her!"
Xu Qingmo had already said this, so Hua Ying naturally couldn't say anything more and could only reluctantly agree.
This is not Yan Junuo's first visit to Ningyuan Hou's Mansion. This is the old residence of the Xu family, but Ning Yuan Hou has been living there for these years, and spends a lot of money on repairs every year.
Compared to Xu Qingling, Yan Junuo lived a more cautious life. After all, her title of legitimate daughter was not clean, and she could not expect her legitimate mother to really take care of her as her biological daughter.
But to save face, she still gave a purse to the boy who helped carry the luggage.
The boy thanked him with a smile on his face. As soon as he left the house, he couldn't help but muttered: "I just gave you a few copper coins to send a beggar away?"
"As long as you can give it, don't you think it's our girl? The rewards are all real money!" Another patted him on the shoulder.
"Bad luck!" the boy spat, took out the copper plate, and threw the purse out.
It wasn't until the boy had gone far that a maid came out from the corner. She bent down to pick up the purse that had been thrown on the ground, patted the dust gently, and carefully put it into her arms.
The maid is Yan Junuo's personal maid since childhood, Lan Xin.
When Lan Xin returned to the yard, Yan Junuo saw her eyes were red and she was obviously wronged, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Lan Xin took out the two purses from her arms aggrievedly: "The purses that the girl worked so hard to embroider were thrown on the road by those two guys who look down on others!"
Yan Junuo looked at the dust on his purse, and his eyes flashed with embarrassment for a moment, but then he still said: "We live under the shelter of others, and there are some people who look down on others. You can't be wronged because of these people!"
"Lan Xin knows, but Lan Xin really feels wronged for the girl, and the eldest lady is really intolerant of others. How could she drive the girl out just because she contradicted her!" Lan Xin became angrier as she thought about it.
"Because I was not reincarnated in her belly!" Yan Junuo walked to Lan Xin and comforted softly, "She has been resenting my little mother for so many years. She has been bad to me for a day or two. You are It’s not that I don’t know!”
Lan Xin has been following Yan Junuo since she was a child, so how could she not know it? She just felt unbalanced: "Forget it about the eldest lady, after all, there is a layer of belly between her, but this aunt Xu is your biological aunt! "
Yan Junuo didn't speak, just looked down at the purse in his hand.
"You know, Xu Qingmo has nothing to do with our aunt. Why can't we tell her whether she's close or distant?" Lan Xin became angrier as she spoke, "Look at this yard, it's not even done!"
After a long time, Yan Junuo smiled: "We have just arrived today, and my aunt is in good health. Let's rest tonight. We have to pay homage to our aunt tomorrow morning!"
Although Lan Xin was dissatisfied, she didn't say anything else. She put down the things in her hands and waited for Yan Junuo to wash up and rest.
The lights were turned off at Yan Junuo's place, Xu Qingmo was still reading a book, and Hua Ying was dozing off from sleepiness.
When Xu Qingmo put away the book, she turned around and saw Hua Ying standing there, nodding her head. She was already very sleepy. She couldn't help laughing and said: "Hua Ying, actually you don't have to stay with me!"
Hua Ying was excited: "Girl! Are you, are you going to rest?"
"I mean, you don't have to accompany me. I can sleep until I wake up naturally tomorrow. You have to get up early tomorrow, so you don't have to accompany me!" Xu Qingmo looked at Huaying and said with a smile.
Hua Ying was still a little confused: "There is no girl who hasn't slept yet, so why should the girl go to bed first? No, no!"
Xu Qingmo rolled up the book and gently tapped Hua Ying on the head: "It's okay if I say yes!"
Hua Ying woke up immediately after receiving such a blow: "Girl! If I go to bed first, this is against the rules!"
"After all, it's you who keeps watch and you fall asleep. If I don't tell you, who knows?" Xu Qingmo smiled, "You don't have to be so rigid. I have the final say on the rules in my yard!"
Although Huaying insists on her appearance, she is also sweet in her heart. Who can not be happy to have a master who truly cares about them?
In the end, Huaying couldn't resist Xu Qingmo and went to sleep outside.
Xu Qingmo was lying on the bed, having trouble sleeping. When he was tossing and turning, he accidentally pressed something and it hurt.
Xu Qingmo got up and rummaged around, and finally found a candied haws carved from chalcedony inside the quilt.
Xu Qingmo sat in the middle of the bed, looking at the candied haws with some confusion.
The candied haws on a stick was given to her by the Seventh Prince when she was getting her hair extensions. It was given to her by the dandy trustee Meng Hetong, saying it was a gift for her hair extensions. She had clearly given it to Hua Ying, so how could it be on her bed? Woolen cloth?
Xu Qingmo looked at the candied haws in his hand, and suddenly thought of the decadent Meng Hetong. There seemed to be no news about him these days, and he didn't know which brothel where he died of drunkenness.
Xu Qingmo thought about Meng Hetong's shining eyes when they first met, and suddenly felt a little regretful in his heart. Meng Hetong looked like a high-spirited young man, and he was really an eye-catching young man.
Thinking about what happened next, it is really... sad and deplorable!
Although it was a pity, it didn't have much to do with Xu Qingmo. She stuffed the candied haws under the pillow, lay down and got ready to sleep.
Just before going to bed, Xu Qingmo's mind still flashed: "How can Meng Hetong, a grown man, like candied haws so much?"
