The Queen Mother was looking at the bronze mirror carefully and squinting her eyebrows. When she heard someone reported that the King of Qin declined, she was so angry that she dropped the Luozidai in her hand on the spot.
"The Queen Mother, please calm down." All the maids of one kind knelt down.
The Queen Mother sat there, looking at herself in the bronze mirror. Although she was married, her appearance was still as good as before because of her proper care. No matter how she made him avoid her, he already had her in his heart.
"Mother Chang, feed this food to the dog." She clenched her fists tightly and said through gritted teeth.
Grandma Chang was slightly stunned, not daring to question at all, "Yes, I'll go right away."
As the palace people slowly retreated, Queen Mother Guo calmed down her anger and her eyes were full of viciousness. She wanted to see who in the entire Kyoto would dare to marry Tai Shuyi.
Qi Ranyuan.
Xie Wanyu was still thinking about today's shocking glimpse, and she felt astonished. In the past, she only knew that Xiao Jing was handsome, but now she realized that she was just a frog in the well, and her knowledge was really shallow.
Zhufang stood beside Xie Wanyu, and gently lit the incense. The smell was sweet, which made people feel a little more relaxed.
Xie Wanyu came to her senses and asked, "What kind of fragrance is this?"
"In response to Madam, this is what I have researched myself. I dried some fruit and vegetable peelings and ground them into powder. Then I added a little spice to it. The taste is a bit sweet and can relieve heart palpitations." Zhu Fang answered fluently. road.
Xie Wanyu looked at her. Zhufang and Lanqin were serving her at the same time, but their thoughts were really very different.
"You are thoughtful." Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
Zhufang lowered her head slightly, "It is the slave's duty to share the master's worries." She raised her head slightly, hesitated and said, "When the lady first entered the house, the slave's mother was seriously ill. At that time, you not only gave the slave your dowry bracelet. I pawned to save people, and I also found the best doctor in Kyoto, and all the slaves will remember it."
Her words stunned Xie Wanyu for a moment, and it took her a while to remember.
Xie Wanyu has been taught since she was a child that she must behave like a mistress and know how to govern her subordinates.
Since she entered the Marquis Mansion, she has been in charge of all the affairs of the family, and she has never treated her servants harshly. If the family has difficulties, she will help if she can.
At that time, the accounts of the Hou Mansion were in severe deficit, and she had no way to ask the accountant to pay the money, so she randomly picked a bracelet and gave it to Zhu Fang for help. There were many such things. She once gave away three hairpins and two rings, so Zhu Fang She couldn't even remember these things clearly.
"We are all our own people, so don't be so arrogant." Xie Wanyu helped Zhu Fang up, "Besides Aunt He, the only person in the yard that I can trust is you."
Xie Wanyu originally assigned Zhufang to go to Xiyuan to request a letter, with the intention of testing it. Coupled with these days of observation, Zhufang was cleared of suspicion for the time being, but she did not dare to completely trust him.
After all, Lan Qin is an example.
Hearing what Xie Wanyu said, Zhufang's eyes were slightly red and full of emotion.
As a servant, it is definitely a very honorable thing to be treated kindly and sincerely believed by the master.
She couldn't be swearing her loyalty, so the door was pushed open with great force.
A gust of cold wind also poured in as the door was pushed open.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but flinch and her eyes darkened slightly.
Xiao Jing walked over with an angry look on her face. Without even looking at Xie Wanyu, she sat on the chair and knocked the tea cup on the table to the ground.
With a "pop" sound, the teacup broke into pieces, and the rich tea leaves inside spilled onto the floor.
Zhu Fang exclaimed in fright and immediately fell to her knees, "Master Hou, please calm down."
"You go down first." Xie Wanyu's calm voice sounded.
Zhufang glanced at Xiao Jing secretly, and when she saw that he didn't respond, she withdrew.
After the door was closed again, Xie Wanyu sat down below Xiao Jing, "Why is the Marquis so angry? But was he angry somewhere else?"
"Do you know that your hypocritical face disgusts me the most?" Xiao Jing said with a look of disgust.
Normally, the two of them could maintain their superficial politeness, but now, Xiao Jing was unwilling to even give him this bit of dignity.
Xie Wanyu disdained him. If she hadn't held back, she might have said something else.
Now that he is so ignorant, she is not as submissive as before, "Since Lord Marquis hates my face the most, why do you come to my room? Do you like to cause trouble for yourself?"
She left him no sympathy at all.
Xiao Jing's expression changed, "You..." His Adam's apple moved and he slowly exhaled, as if suppressing his anger.
After a long while, he spoke, "Do you think I'm willing to come?" He patted the table, "Let me ask you, how do you explain Xue Ning's matter?"
"Xue Ning?" Xie Wanyu pretended to be ignorant, and then suddenly smiled, "I thought she was the girl serving the Marquis. It turns out that the Marquis was talking about the concubine. I wonder when the prince and the concubine became so close."
Xie Wanyu did not follow Xiao Jing's words, but held on to the sound of Xue Ning.
Seeing her say this, Xiao Jing's expression changed.
If Biyun beside Xue Xuening hadn't said it, he might not have known that Xue Xuening's face was caused by Xie Wanyu. He saw such a face, and now it's really hard to swallow when he thinks about it.
It can only be said that Xie Wanyu was too vicious. He was so angry that he blurted out and called Xue Ning.
"Don't worry about him." Xiao Jing said angrily.
Xie Wanyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "I wonder what happened to my concubine's sister-in-law to make Master Hou so angry."
When Xiao Jing saw Xie Wanyu, she felt that her face was much better than Xue Xuening, but he soon came back to his senses. No matter how good Xie Wanyu's face was, he thought she was a dull beauty and was really boring. Now, It seems that she is a poisonous woman.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jing's face became even more disgusted, "Xue... my sister-in-law's face looks like that, does it have nothing to do with you?"
"I heard the maids and wives in the yard talking about my sister-in-law's face. I really don't know how she looked bad. Did the Marquis go to see her?" Xie Wanyu said with a "worried" look on her face. "If my concubine's face is not good, then she won't be able to go to the palace banquet in a few days. What should I do?"
"In that case, I can't go." After Xiao Jing finished speaking, she felt that she had been led astray by Xie Wanyu.
Her mouth wasn't so smart before, what's wrong now?
With a fake cough, he concealed the expression on his face, "Biyun told me that my sister-in-law's face became like that after eating the cakes you gave me. You are really vicious. I won't look at it today." For the sake of the Xie family, I will definitely use family methods against you."
The more he talked, the angrier he became. If it weren't for Xie Wanyu, he would now be a man who truly stayed alone in an empty room.
"The pastries in the kitchen are made by the chef Xin Lai. I think they are delicious and they are delivered to every yard. Why is it that others are fine eating them, but my concubine's sister-in-law is in trouble after eating them?" Xie Wanyu asked with a cold face.
"You must be jealous of her!" Xiao Jing said.
Xie Wanyu's lips curved slightly, "Am I jealous of her? Why am I jealous of her? No husband? No children? Or is my father just a sixth-grade official? Or is that face that looks old?"
