The weather was already cold, but Xue Xuening walked in wearing a light gauze skirt.
She deliberately left two locks of hair on her temples to make her cheeks appear narrower, and her smile was full of charm.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but caress her temples. The education she received since she was a child told her that leaving hair on her temples is a hook-and-loop style. Who is the daughter of a wealthy family who would comb her hair like this?
However, Xue Xuening didn't care about this at all, and she was someone who was willing to take risks.
"Greetings to the prince." She tilted her neck slightly and offered her greetings softly.
While drinking, King Jin glanced at Xue Xuening, then put down his glass and said as usual, "Mrs. Ning, there is no need to be polite."
Ever since Xue Xuening came in, Xiao Jing's eyes had never left.
Turning around, Xue Xuening saluted Xiao Jing again. He had been stunned for a long time and had forgotten to ask her to get up.
"Sister-in-law, please get up. Mr. Hou is a little jealous." Seeing Xiao Jing like this, Xie Wanyu took the initiative to help him out.
Only then did Xiao Jing react and said hurriedly, "Hurry up and take a seat. You have worked really hard these days. You must eat more today."
As soon as Xue Xuening sat down, the atmosphere immediately changed.
Perhaps Mrs. Xiao couldn't get out of bed now and couldn't care about the family affairs. Xiao Jing became bolder and actually gave Xue Xuening some vegetables, "This is your favorite stuffed lotus root. Eat more and it will be better." This piece of meat is the softest..."
He spared no effort to pick up vegetables for Xue Xuening.
Xue Xuening was not polite and started eating directly. Although she was trying her best to protect her own image, she still tasted a bit gobbled.
After all, Xie Wanyu is in charge of the entire Hou Mansion.
Since Xue Xuening went to the Buddhist temple, her diet has become light every day, and there is almost no meat at all.
She didn't have much private money for a long time, and even if she wanted to secretly buy some meat, it was extremely rare, so now she could eat meat as she pleased, and she was naturally happy.
Xie Wanyu only took two bites and then put down her chopsticks.
"Mrs. Hou is not to your liking?" Prince Jin drank a few sips and talked a little more.
"These dishes are all the specialty dishes of the cook at home, and some of them are also the best-selling dishes in the restaurant. How could they not be to your liking?" She did."
In the past, Xie Wanyu ate alone in the yard, but now she had to eat with them. She was not picky about food, but it was really hard to swallow. Especially when she saw Xiao Jing and Xue Xuening looking at each other, it made her even more confused.
Not jealous, not jealous, just disgusting.
When Xue Xuening heard what she said, she immediately realized that her cheeks were bulging.
She couldn't help but cover her face with her sleeves, and waited until she had swallowed all the food before saying, "My brothers and sisters really like to joke. I just didn't eat much today, so I'm a little hungry."
"Why don't you eat? You know you are not in good health." Xiao Jing looked reproachful.
Xue Xuening smiled awkwardly, "Grandma hasn't left the bed yet. I want to copy more Buddhist scriptures to her." After saying that, her eyes turned red and she turned away, "I didn't expect that my younger siblings would laugh."
King Jin looked at Xue Xuening and said, "Don't be sad, Mrs. Ning. We are ashamed of your filial piety."
His tone was neither salty nor light, but he was also speaking out for Xue Xuening.
Sure enough, a smile appeared on Xue Xuening's face, and she looked at King Jin shyly, "In that case, Xue Ning would like to thank King Jin here."
Even if she shakes her sleeves, the rich aroma will spread all over the table.
Xie Wanyu covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and said slowly, "Master Marquis, it's rare for Prince Jin to come over, so the people in the mansion prepared some temporary songs and dances."
"In that case, why don't you come up quickly?" After hearing this, King Jin waved his hand.
Then, a group of dancers came up, all enchanting and graceful.
Xue Xuening's face suddenly turned ugly. She had dressed up carefully just to look more beautiful than others.
Unexpectedly, Xie Wanyu actually found a group of young dancers with good figures. She felt that she was about to be compared.
"Brothers and sisters are so attentive. I wonder where they found the dancer at this late hour." Xue Xuening asked with a sneer.
"My eldest sister-in-law doesn't know. Some of these are raised by our family, and the others are skipped by some girls in the family when they were young." Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
Xue Xuening naturally knew that there used to be dancers in the Hou Mansion, but those dancers all wanted to find a way out for themselves and tried every means to climb into Xiao Jing's bed.
At that time, Xie Wanyu was still stupid, so Xue Xuening used a little skill to drive away the dancers.
I don't know when, but Xie Wanyu was recruited back again.
From the moment the dancers entered the door, Xiao Jing and King Jin never took their eyes away from the dancers.
By the time the song ended, the two of them were still not satisfied.
Xie Wanyu lowered her head and sneered. These dancers danced the Hu Xuan Dance, and the Hu Xuan Dance only became popular in Kyoto after her death. Now that they saw this more than ten years in advance, how could they not be attracted.
"The dancer in the Hou Mansion is really extraordinary." Prince Jin, who had seen the world, took a long time to praise her.
Xie Wanyu said, "The King of Jin was so ridiculous. The dancers in the Hou Mansion before were all collected from all over the place. Although their dancing skills were good, they were also born in the land of fireworks. It was inevitable that they were a bit secular. But now the dancers in the Hou Mansion I selected them all from girls from good families, and these girls are all from innocent daughters’ families.”
Sure enough, upon hearing this, a meaningful smile appeared on King Jin's face.
Xie Wanyu has made it very clear that people with noble status like them dislike the singer and dancer very much, but this is the first time they have met the innocent dancer and singer.
I won't feel disgusted either.
Xiao Jing understood and immediately said, "The prince will take a rest in a while, and I will call a few over."
"Haha, I'm interested." King Jin accepted it happily.
Xue Xuening was ignored all of a sudden. She was always a person who was not content with the status quo. How could she allow such a thing to happen? Soon, she started to get into trouble.
I saw her picking up the handkerchief, wiping the corners of her eyes, and sobbing from time to time.
Everyone's attention was drawn to her.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you still crying?" Xiao Jing discovered it quickly and asked hurriedly and worriedly.
Xie Wanyu looked at King Jin. King Jin would look at Xue Xuening from time to time, but would turn away only for a moment. Therefore, Xie Wanyu concluded that the two of them should be in an ambiguous period, or that they were hiding too deeply.
When everyone's eyes turned to her, she said weakly, "If my sister-in-law doesn't like me as my sister-in-law, just say so. Why bother to embarrass others like this?"
Xie Wanyu was stunned on the spot.
Everyone in the room looked at Xie Wanyu, as if she had done something heinous.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Xie Wanyu asked her with a frown.
But Xue Xuening just covered her face and cried without explaining the reason at all.
