Qi Ranyuan.
At this time, Grandma He had already lit candles in the room.
Xie Wanyu took off the hairpin on her head, picked up the comb casually, and combed her shiny black hair.
These days, whether it is Pei'er or Xue Xuening, Xiao Jing is very busy. It has been a long time since she stepped into Qiran Courtyard. Xie Wanyu is also happy to be free. She lies on the bed early. Even watching Grandma He embroidering is more exciting than seeing him. His face is a thousand times better.
"Madam, please let me come here. Fresh osmanthus oil was delivered to Zhuangzi a few days ago. I will shave your hair." Zhu Fang picked up a porcelain bottle next to the dowry and said with a smile.
Xie Wanyu nodded, "That's fine."
Just as he was talking, the door was pushed open with great force.
Because the servants did not dare to enter the master's room easily, Zhufang did not bolt the door after entering, and was easily pushed open.
"Master Hou." Seeing that it was Xiao Jing who came in, Zhu Fang hurriedly saluted.
Grandma He also put down the needle and thread in her hand and stood up.
"Everyone get out." After Xiao Jing finished speaking, she sat at the table and poured herself a cup of tea.
Zhufang and Aunt He looked at each other, then looked at Xie Wanyu in unison. Seeing her nodding, they walked out anxiously.
Xiao Jing doesn't come here easily. As soon as he comes, the two of them will definitely quarrel, so both Nanny He and Zhu Fang are very worried.
Xie Wanyu didn't take the initiative to answer him, and just looked in the mirror and combed her hair.
She had gray hair early in her previous life, and now she must take good care of it.
Originally, Xiao Jing was waiting for Xie Wanyu to come to her, but after drinking two cups of tea, she didn't say a word.
"Weren't you looking forward to my coming? Now that I'm here, you've stopped talking." There was a hint of complaint in his tone, but he was surprisingly lifeless.
Xie Wanyu turned to look at him and let go of the silk-like hair in her hands, "Is the Marquis confused? I have never said such a thing."
"Even if you haven't said it, you must have thought so." He said with great certainty.
Xie Wanyu shook her head, "I never said that, nor did I think about it this way." She looked indifferent and didn't even want to look at him.
Just as Xiao Jing was about to have a fit, she seemed to remember something and put away the anger on her face, "I won't argue with you. I won't leave tonight. Come and help me undress."
He stood up and spread his arms.
Xie Wanyu looked at his expression that was like a "gift" and suppressed the hatred on her face, "Master Hou, you should go to the study to rest. I'm not feeling well."
All the women in the Hou Mansion were surrounding a man like him, and now they were ignored by Xie Wanyu. How could he feel balanced? He immediately turned cold and said, "Xie Wanyu, don't you know what is good and what is evil."
"The Marquis wanted me to be self-aware back then, and I certainly understood. Could it be that now the Marquis doesn't hate me, but is very interested in me?" Xie Wanyu said with sarcasm in her tone.
Xiao Jing sneered, "If grandma hadn't urged me, do you think I would be willing to be here with you?"
He originally thought that Xie Wanyu would be grateful for such a gift from him, but he didn't expect that she would be so dismissive, which instead made him feel endless frustration.
"Master Marquis, would you like some midnight snacks?" Xie Wanyu planned to change the topic.
Because Xiao Jing's behavior today was very unusual. He had always disdained to take the initiative to see Xie Wanyu, but now he actually took the initiative to stay overnight. It was strange that there was nothing fishy about it.
Xiao Jing waved her hand, "No need."
The atmosphere between the two became awkward, but Xiao Jing had no intention of leaving.
Xie Wanyu once again confirmed that what Xiao Jing did today must have a purpose.
"Master Hou, you and I are husband and wife. If you have anything to say, just say it." Xie Wanyu said solemnly, "I will do anything that is good for the Hou family."
"I certainly know you." Xiao Jing said calmly.
After a long while, he said, "You are the most generous, and I am very satisfied with you. You deserve it, Madam Hou." As if to show his loyalty, he spoke quickly.
Xie Wanyu knew how much Xiao Jing hated her, so naturally she would not believe what he said.
But what on earth could have caused him to be so "condescending" to say these words?
"Your Majesty is overly praised." Xie Wanyu nodded and said.
Xiao Jing gently rubbed the cup with her fingers, and after a while she said, "Min'er has been adopted for a while, and she is a person who understands etiquette. Grandma and I like her very much."
"You and grandma naturally like what the Marquis said. If you didn't like him so much, I wouldn't adopt him at all." Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
Xiao Jing was speechless for a moment.
Xie Wanyu has always been the most talkative, but for some reason, she disliked Xiao Jinmin so much.
According to what my grandmother said, if she had always disliked Xiao Jinmin, how could she use the power of the Xie family to assist him.
"This child has always been very sensible and respected you as his mother. When you were seriously ill, he came to visit you as a filial piety." Xiao Jing wanted to let Xie Wanyu know how good this child Xiao Jinmin is.
Xie Wanyu did not answer, but said, "It turns out that the Marquis also knows that I am sick!"
"I, I know, I'm just busy with business." Xiao Jing stuttered and said.
Xie Wanyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "If Mr. Hou knew that I was sick, why should he come and see me? After all, Mr. Hou is not so busy, otherwise he would not have written so many poems for cousin Pei'er."
She couldn't hide the sarcasm in her tone.
Sure enough, Xiao Jing's expression changed, and she became a little angry, "Why, do I still need to tell you what I want to do?"
"I didn't say that, why should the Marquis be angry?"
"You'd better know your own identity. If I give you something, you will respect it. If I don't give it to you, you will suffer. Otherwise, you are not worthy of being Mrs. Hou." Xiao Jing's tone was full of emotion. A strong threat.
Xie Wanyu laughed out loud, really thinking she was a rare Madam Hou.
"Why are you laughing?" Xiao Jing asked.
Xie Wanyu looked at him, "The Marquis has been talking about him since he walked in, so much so that I still don't know what the Marquis is going to say to me." The fact that he wants to stay here shows how serious this matter is. It was too hard to talk about it, so he had no choice but to sacrifice his appearance.
"Min'er is recorded in your name no matter what. As a mother, you can't be silent at all." Xiao Jing saw that the matter had come to this, so she said it directly.
"Does the Marquis want me, the adoptive mother, to bring some dowry to Min'er as a meeting gift?" Xie Wanyu asked.
"Exactly." Xiao Jing said, "You can't have children anymore, and Min'er is your only child. If you don't give your dowry to him, who else can you give it to?"
Hearing this, Xie Wanyu became very angry. He even shamelessly talked about her infertility, "Let me ask you, I am infertile. Who caused this? Is it caused by me? ?" Her voice was cold.
Xiao Jing didn't expect Xie Wanyu to react so strongly, and was stunned for a moment.
"I said that I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, and I will let her pay with her life!
