Yan Junuo went to Mrs. Xu's yard before dawn the next day to pay her respects.
After the death of the old lady in Ningyuan Hou Mansion earlier, there was no longer a rule to get up so early to pay her respects. Even Mrs. Xu got up to read the account book after she had slept comfortably.
When Yan Junuo came today, Mrs. Xu hadn't even gotten up yet, and it was He Zhu who went to wake her up. Then Mrs. Xu dressed up hurriedly and came out to see Yan Junuo.
Mrs. Xu sat on the main seat, looking at Yan Junuo with a smile on her face, and forced herself to control her anger because she didn't sleep well: "Nuo'er just moved here last night, why don't you have a good rest today? Why do you wake up like this?" morning?"
"Nuo'er should come to pay aunt's respect!" Yan Junuo said with a smile.
Mrs. Xu picked up the tea and took a sip: "It doesn't have to be so early. You young people should sleep more, so that you can look fresh and fresh!"
Yan Junuo smiled softly: "Nuo'er is used to being at home, but why doesn't Sister Mo come? Maybe she overslept?"
Mrs. Xu put down the tea cup, glanced at Yan Junuo lightly, and said coldly: "We don't have such a rule in our house!"
Yan Junuo was stunned for a moment, then quickly said with a smile: "Then when Nuo'er came today, did she bother her aunt to take a rest?"
"I have never gotten up so early on weekdays. Our house is not like Yan's house. There are only a few people in our house, so there is no need to come to greet us with such a big fanfare!" Mrs. Xu said calmly.
Yan Junuo's face suddenly turned ugly, and after a long time he sneered: "Yes, really?"
Mrs. Xu glanced at Yan Junuo, and then said: "There are not many people in our house, and I only have one daughter, Mo Mo. You can stay in the house temporarily. If you have nothing to do, don't walk around!"
Yan Junuo was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Mrs. Xu, his eyes instantly filled with tears: "It turns out that my aunt doesn't welcome me either, right?"
Mrs. Xu looked into Yan Junuo's eyes and slowly felt a sense of disgust: "You have to remember that you are a legitimate daughter. Don't imitate your biological mother, who always pretends to be pitiful. The look is disgusting!"
Yan Junuo listened to Mrs. Xu's words with a look of disbelief on her face. In her impression, her aunt had always been quiet and quiet, which was very different from her aunt.
Yan Junuo never imagined that he would feel such unabashed disgust from the gentle and demure Mrs. Xu.
Yan Junuo's eyes instantly turned redder: "Does Auntie hate Nuo'er so much?"
Mrs. Xu looked at Yan Junuo for a long time, and finally sighed: "I don't hate you, it's just that little girl of yours... Forget it, what does it have to do with you!"
Yan Junuo walked out of Mrs. Xu's yard with red eyes. Lan Xin beside her saw Yan Junuo being wronged, but could do nothing.
"Girl... why don't we go back..." Lan Xin followed Yan Junuo and murmured softly.
"Where to go back?" Yan Junuo smiled bitterly, "Do you think our eldest lady is willing to let us go back?"
"But girl, my aunt obviously doesn't like us, and we won't have a good life if we stay here!" Lan Xin felt a little distressed, "When we go back to the house, it is still in our own home, at least the maids and servants in the house You won’t bully us!”
"This is Ningyuan Hou's Mansion. The maids and servants in the house don't dare to bully us. Look at my aunt's appearance. She probably doesn't care about anything on weekdays. Besides, it's not me they hate, but the one who gave birth to me. My little girl!" Yan Junuo lowered his head and walked forward slowly.
Lan Xin looked at Yan Junuo who was walking in front. She seemed not to care in her words, but she could see that her ears were already red and bleeding.
Yan Junuo felt probably very sad, but right now, they really had nowhere to go.
Lan Xin sighed quietly and said no more.
Just when they passed Xu Qingmo's yard, they happened to hear laughter in the yard. Yan Junuo looked at the yard in a daze. Even in his own house, there was rarely such laughter in his yard.
"They look so happy!" Yan Junuo said softly, looking in the direction of the yard.
Lan Xin looked at the yard, with a bit of envy in her eyes: "That's Miss Xu's yard!"
Yan Junuo suddenly remembered Xu Qingmo's haircut gift, and squeezed the hand hanging by his side unconsciously: "Lan Xin, you said that a woman like her is vulgar and rude, but she lives a free and easy life. This And why?”
"Maybe he was reborn with a good belly!" Lan Xin lowered her eyes and said softly.
Yan Junuo smiled bitterly: "Reincarnation is also a skill!"
After a long time, Yan Junuo suddenly looked back at Lan Xin: "Let's go meet this eldest girl of the Xu family!"
Lan Xin was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: "Yes, girl!"
When Yan Junuo walked into Xu Qingmo's yard, he saw peonies all over the garden as soon as he entered the yard. Spring had just entered, and it was obviously not the time for peonies to bloom yet.
Yan Junuo looked at the bright peonies in front of him with shock on his face: "Why is this flower blooming now?"
"Girl, this is a flower seed specially found by the prince. It is quite precious and will bloom half a month earlier than ordinary peonies!" the maid sweeping the yard at the door said softly.
Yan Junuo was silent for a long time, then looked at the maid: "Is cousin here?"
"Our girls are having breakfast. Miss Yan, please wait a moment. I'll report it right away!" the maid said and hurried to report.
Yan Junuo stood there, looking at the peonies in the garden, his eyes full of envy: "This is the first time I know that there are peonies that can bloom half a month early!"
Standing next to Yan Junuo, Lan Xin was also a little dazed: "Peony, such a delicate flower, can bloom all over the garden, so there must be someone special to take care of it!"
Yan Junuo smiled bitterly: "Who says it's not the case?"
When Xu Qingmo, who was having breakfast, heard Yan Junuo's arrival, the bowl of porridge in front of him suddenly seemed less appetizing.
"What is she doing here?" Xu Qingmo was slightly bored.
Hua Ying hurriedly said: "Miss Yan went to the eldest lady to pay her respects early in the morning. She is probably passing by on her way back now!"
Whether he was passing by on the way, Xu Qingmo didn't know, but it was obvious now that this breakfast was probably not going to be a happy one!
"Okay!" Xu Qingmo felt helpless, "Let her come in!"
The maid who delivered the message went out, and not long after, she came back with Yan Junuo: "Miss, Miss Yan is here!"
Xu Qingmo raised his eyes slightly: "Has cousin had breakfast?"
