Xie Wanyu has already taken off her hairpin, and only Zhufang is waiting on her.
"Slave Qinghe, please give my regards to Madam." Qinghe knelt down in a polite manner.
Xie Wanyu glanced at Zhufang, who immediately understood and stepped forward to help Qinghe stand up, "Good sister, get up quickly. Madam said that you are one of our own, so there is no need to give such a big gift."
Qinghe stood there flattered, "The etiquette cannot be abolished."
"Okay, sit down. You have more rules. Zhufang, go and bring up a cup of the hibiscus in the snow that the shopkeeper of Xicheng sent the day before yesterday, so that Qinghe can have a taste." Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
Qinghe hurriedly stood up and thanked him, unable to conceal his happiness.
She is an ambitious person and knows how to assess situations. Naturally, she feels embarrassed when Xie Wanyu is so interested in her.
After a while, Zhu Fang came over with a cup of tea and said, "Sister Qinghe, please try it. This hibiscus in the snow is made by mixing the first snow on the tea leaves and hibiscus petals this year. Our lady got a small jar like this." , specifically asked me to keep it for my sister."
A sincere smile appeared on Qinghe's face, "Slave, thank you madam for your love."
After saying that, she couldn't wait to take a sip. The faint fragrance of tea mixed with the fragrance of flower petals was very unique. After entering her throat, she felt a sweet aftertaste in her mouth, "It's really good stuff."
She praised it sincerely.
Xie Wanyu smiled and said, "Drink more."
Qinghe nodded. She would not get such treatment from Xue Xuening.
In the beginning, she only did things with Xie Wanyu for money, but now, she is a little more sincere.
Thinking of this, she said seriously, "Mrs. Ning and the Marquis are having trouble again today."
"Tell me about it." Xie Wanyu said.
"Mrs. Ning felt that the Marquis was treating you unusually, so she started to make a fuss. In the past, the Marquis would still have the patience to coax you, but these days, Mrs. Ning made too many noises. The Marquis lost his patience and waved his sleeves. Let's go." After Qinghe finished speaking, he touched his red and swollen cheeks.
The candlelight was dim, and it was only at this time that Xie Wanyu realized it belatedly.
I couldn't help but be surprised, "She took it out on you again?"
"Beside her, no one can hide. Biyun was beaten even more severely." Qinghe said quietly.
Xie Wanyu smiled slightly. It was Xue Xuening's gentleness that captured the teenage Xiao Jing, which made Xiao Jing fall in love with her for so many years. If the gentleness was not there, how much of Xiao Jing's feelings for her would be left?
In her previous life, Xue Xuening was respected by the fool-like Xie Wanyu. All she had to do was show her gentle side. Whether it was to Mrs. Xiao or the servants around her, she was more popular than Xie Wanyu.
Perhaps it was because life had been so smooth in the past few years that Xue Xuening couldn't bear the gap from heaven to earth, so she couldn't pretend anymore.
Looking at Xie Wanyu's smile, Qinghe couldn't help but say, "Madam is still kind, but the slaves are not so lucky."
"Don't worry, your prime days are behind you." After Xie Wanyu finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Fang, "Go and bring the bottle of blood-stasis removing ointment in the medicine box to Qinghe."
"My wife's things are all of the best, how can I match this with my slave?" Qing He said excitedly.
Xie Wanyu helped her a little, "Of course I feel sorry for you, but right now the Marquis and Xue Xuening are not too separated, so I can't help you."
"This slave is extremely grateful for Madam's mercy. I dare not ask for anything else." Although Qing He said this, he was actually very envious of working beside Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu is generous and treats her servants well. I heard that even the little maid in Qiran Courtyard often gets cakes from Xie Wanyu and can go home to see her.
Xie Wanyu gave Qinghe another handful of silver melon seeds before sending her away.
With people like Qing He around, Xie Wanyu can easily know everything about Xue Xuening.
Now that the two are quarreling and having a cold war, Xie Wanyu feels that adding a strong dose of medicine will separate Xiao Jing and Xue Xuening, and they may not be so repulsive about concubinage.
But before Xie Wanyu could make any move, news came from the front yard that the Xiao family's aunt was back. Now the carriage had entered Kyoto City. Xiao Yinshuang was Xiao Jing's concubine, the only woman of the Xiao family's generation, so Even though she was a concubine, she was still loved by Mrs. Xiao.
In addition, Xiao Jing and Xiao Yinshuang were the only ones left in Xiao Jing's generation, and the old lady felt even more distressed.
Xie Wanyu was silent for a long time.
I remember that in the previous life, this aunt lost her husband at this time. Because her husband's family was honest, she packed up her dowry and returned to her parents' home in a grand manner. A romantic and talented man was having an affair, and Mrs. Xiao was worried that the affair would be exposed, so she decided to marry him to Xie Wanyu's concubine.
Later, before the Xie family was in trouble, Xiao Yinshuang took a lot of the Xie family's money and eloped with others.
After the Xie family was completely ruined and Xie Wanyu died, she brought her son and daughter back. She was also treated as a guest by Xue Xuening, and the whole family was happy.
Every time she thought of this, Xie Wanyu couldn't help but clenched her palms and couldn't stop trembling.
She will not let go of any of these people who split her Xie family's blood.
"Let the kitchen prepare some food that my aunt likes to eat, and the others will follow me to the front hall to greet her." Xie Wanyu stood up slowly.
Zhu Fang supported her and said, "Madam, the medicine is ready. You can drink the medicine first and then go."
"That's fine." Xie Wanyu responded, and couldn't help but think that in a few days it would be the day when Tai Shuqi would come to detoxify her. It was really hard for her to imagine how Tai Shuqi entered the main courtyard of the Xiao family.
After drinking the medicine, Xie Wanyu took Zhufang and Pei'er to the front hall.
Mrs. Xiao had been waiting there for a long time, with a look of eagerness. When she saw Xie Wanyu, she smiled even more, "Your eldest sister is back, but her husband died. You should be careful what you say and don't mention it."
"Yes, don't worry, grandma." Xie Wanyu nodded and said.
Not long after, I heard the call from the steward, saying that Xiao Yinshuang had entered the gate.
Xiao Jing then stood up and asked Xie Wanyu to greet him at the door.
Xie Wanyu agreed, and then walked out with Xiao Jing.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Xiao Yinshuang walking over in a dusty manner, followed by several servants from the Xie family who were dowry.
"Sister." Xie Wanyu bent her knees slightly.
"Since you know that I am the eldest sister, you don't go out to greet me. What's the rule?" After her attack, she immediately grabbed Xiao Jing's arm, "Let me see, sister, why I have lost weight again."
Xiao Jing's eyes were slightly red, "Elder sister."
"Come in, let's go in and talk." Xiao Yinshuang pulled Xiao Jing into the house, not caring about Xie Wanyu's presence at all.
No way, when Xiao Jing and Xie Wanyu got married, Xiao Yinshuang also rushed back to attend the wedding banquet. However, after knowing that Xiao Jing had not even entered the bridal chamber, she was not so kind to Xie Wanyu. She had been a concubine for so many years. , also knows how to watch people order their dishes.
Mrs. Xiao has already stood up, "Shuang'er."
