"Are you satisfied that you have found such a handsome person?"
Wang Xifeng said somewhat unwillingly as he followed Jia Lian out of Rongqing Hall.
Jia Lian nodded, finally willing to turn around and look at Wang Xifeng head-on, and said with a smile: "It's really hard for Second Grandma Lian. After all the hard work, it feels good to finally shoot yourself in the foot."
"you?"
Wang Xifeng was immediately furious, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel wary.
Since when did he start speaking so annoyingly?
And judging from what it means, it’s a bit puzzling to be so sure that he framed He Xiang’s foxy son...
Jia Lian saw that Wang Xifeng was speechless, but he had no intention of getting angry with her.
According to his current personality, even the servants and maids at home probably don't think highly of her, let alone Wang Xifeng, the person who knows her best?
Changing Wang Xifeng's view of her, or even convincing her, would not happen overnight.
Fortunately, the first confrontation with Wang Xifeng was a victory. Now this girl is probably murmuring in her heart.
As he stepped up the steps, he was immediately stopped by Wang Xifeng: "Where are you going?"
"After receiving an errand from our ancestors, we naturally can't delay and go down to make some preparations."
Seeing that Jia Lian was not stopping, Wang Xifeng became a little anxious. She took two steps forward and finally asked: "You won't go home tonight? Just to vent your anger on me, you won't even listen to the old lady?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Wang Xifeng felt that she was actually weak, as if she was begging him to go back. She couldn't accept it in her heart, so after Jia Lian stopped, she deliberately raised her neck and darkened her face.
Naturally, Jia Lian also heard the meaning of surrender in Wang Xifeng's words, so he smiled and said: "As long as Second Mistress Lian doesn't block the door like last time, I don't dare to disobey the old lady."
After saying that, he raised his legs and left.
Wang Xifeng opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she gave up when she saw that Jia Lian had already walked away. Then she looked at Ping'er who was looking for him and asked very seriously: "Ping'er, do you feel that he seems to be a different person? "
Hearing this, Ping'er was thoughtful.
…
That night, Wang Xifeng went home early and specifically asked the kitchen to order two more dishes and set them up for waiting.
"Ping'er, go ahead and ask him personally what he is doing and why he hasn't come back yet!"
After waiting for a long time, Wang Xifeng gradually became irritable.
Ping'er took the order and went out. He had just opened the soft flower curtain when he saw Jia Lian stepping in from the gate calmly.
"Second Master is back."
Ping'er suddenly felt happy, announced the news, and stood aside to greet him.
Jia Lian slowly walked up the steps, glanced at Ping'er next to him, and thought to himself that the life of this ancient landlord and wealthy man was good.
Such a young and beautiful maid, standing aside obediently to welcome her home, wouldn't she feel comfortable?
When I think about Ping'er being his maidservant in the future, I feel even more beautiful.
However, seeing that Ping'er seemed uncomfortable with him, in order not to offend the beauty, and to prevent the jealous jar inside from being broken again, Jia Lian went into the house through the door curtain opened by Ping'er.
Their yard itself is not big, and the three main rooms are compact.
Jia Lian walked into the west room, which is where Wang Xifeng usually receives guests. Going further inside is the bedroom.
At this time, Wang Xifeng was sitting on the Kang in front. When she saw Jia Lian coming in, Leng Qiuqiu said: "I also told you that you won't come back for dinner tonight."
With that said, he stood up and came over, taking off his coat for Jia Lian.
Wang Xifeng took the initiative to show his kindness, but Jia Lian didn't care anymore. He took off his outer clothes in cooperation, then walked over and sat down at the main seat, holding a bowl and eating.
It was a natural move, as if the cold war in the past few days didn't exist at all, and he just came back to eat normally.
Wang Xifeng's teeth were itching at the sight, but she stopped provoking. She sat over and took two bites as well. While Jia Lian was wiping his mouth, Fang asked, "How early or late will we leave?"
"Leave early tomorrow morning."
"It's so urgent..."
Wang Xifeng's displeasure was palpable.
"I don't know what's so good about Yangzhou, but you are so determined to go there that you can't even try to persuade me in front of my ancestors!"
Wang Xifeng's tone at this moment was not arrogant, only a wife's complaint against her husband.
She was an extremely beautiful woman, but this way, she looked even more like a beautiful wife.
Jia Lian smiled and said, "Why, I'm going to the south. I don't need to make you angry at home. Isn't that what you want?"
When Wang Xifeng heard this, she confirmed that Jia Lian insisted on going to Yangzhou just to avoid her. She felt aggrieved for a moment and said: "You heartless person, you did such a thing, why don't you let me say it? Besides, I didn't have anything to do with it." You, are you so annoyed with me?"
Fortunately, Jia Lian knew Wang Xifeng's personality well, otherwise he might have been deceived by her temporary weakness!
"What did I do?"
"You still have the nerve to ask. The affair between you and the prostitute in the eldest master's house has been spread all over the house, and you still want to get away with it?"
"Nothing!"
Jia Lian frowned and refuted with a serious face: "Do you believe what the boss in the house is good at talking about?"
Wang Xifeng was surprised: "Really?"
It wasn't that Wang Xifeng was so easy to deceive. In fact, she was quite sure, but she had never seen Jia Lian be so decisive.
"You still say that I have no conscience. Would you rather believe those people than me? I accidentally broke the broken bottle. Aunt Mei happened to be there, so she helped me plead for mercy. However, the master refused to give in and even lost her temper. My aunt was also beaten, and when those evil-hearted slaves saw her, they deliberately used it to make trouble!
Don’t even think about it. If it was really what you said, with the temper of the great master, would I still be able to come out of there alive? "
Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng, his eyes filled with anger.
In this case, Wang Xifeng was really not sure. After all, she only found out from the slave's hesitation. And what Jia Lian said was right. With Jia She's temper, he usually got slapped with a stick if he said anything wrong. If Jia Lian had really done such a thing that day, he would have shed his skin even if he died. Why did he come back alive that day? Still angry with her!
"Isn't it important? Anyway, even if your family did something like this, who could do anything to you?
It's not your fault to get angry with me. If what you say is true, that's fine. If I hear people say these bastard things in the future, I'll feel at ease when I deal with them. "
Husband and wife are one, and she has the responsibility of being a housekeeper. The previous rumors have done the most harm to her face.
So although she was angry with Jia Lian, she strictly forbade others to gossip in private. She has always been a housekeeper and is very ruthless in dealing with people, so the servants in the house are often afraid of her.
It can also be said that Wang Xifeng played a big role in the fact that the events of that day only bounced among a limited number of individuals and did not spread widely.
Jia Lian didn't feel guilty at all after using words to scare Wang Xifeng. Anyway, he did not do it!
Yin put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full, I'm going to take a shower."
Wang Xifeng nodded. She always ate less, so she put away the bowls and chopsticks, but saw Jia Lian looking at her, a little confused.
"Let's go, you go too, hand me a towel or something." Jia Lian said seriously.
"Go~"
Wang Xifeng's face suddenly turned red and she spat at Jia Lian.
Jia Lian looked at her and said slowly: "Why, you drove away everyone around me and still refuse to serve?"
Wang Xifeng's face turned redder and she hesitated, "I will go to the old lady's room later and let Ping'er serve you."
Wang Xifeng didn't want other women to get close to Jia Lian, so except for Ping'er, there were usually not many maids and wives in the house.
Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng, whose face was red and became more and more beautiful, and shook his head in amusement.
Wang Xifeng looks lively and flirtatious on the outside, but who knows that she is more intolerant than anyone else when it comes to sex? Look, they are an old couple, and they can still blush because of his words.
I think it was due to lack of training.
"You must not take the opportunity to bully her!" Wang Xifeng added.
Jia Lian shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm not you. If you don't agree to give her to me, I won't touch her."
This sentence made Ping'er, who had just walked in and cleared the table, blush with embarrassment.
Wang Xifeng heard that Jia Lian was mocking her for driving He Xiang away without his consent, and when she was about to refute, Jia Lian had already stood up and walked out.
Wang Xifeng had nowhere to use her strength and muttered to herself for a long time: "Fall down in front of me and pretend to be a show-off. Think I believe it!"
Then he said to Ping'er who was still picking up the leftovers: "Let others clean up these things. If your second master wants to take a bath, you can take care of him."
"yes……"
Ping'er blushed and was about to leave, but Wang Xifeng stopped her again: "You have been with me for so many years. I know that you have always been the most measured. Don't let me down."
Although the smile contained a warning, Ping'er's face darkened, he nodded, and went out without saying a word.
