Chapter 172 Peace 3

In winter, there is ice and snow everywhere. Xia Mengning has not recovered. Since she talked to each other with Changsun Yun, she has stayed in the house day by day, and even Xia Chuanyuan's daily excuses.

In the afternoon, the warm sun shone into the window. Xia Mengning sat on the couch, bowed her head and carefully sewed a child's shoes. The front of the shoes was in the shape of a little tiger, which was twisted with red and gold silk threads. In addition, Xia Mengning's embroidery skills were pure green. The small shoes were placed on the table, which was particularly noticeable.

Jiu'er helped Xia Mengning tidy up the silk thread on the small stool beside her. She saw a shoe that Xia Mengning had just made, with love in her eyes. "Miss's craftsmanship is getting more and more refined. These tiger-headed shoes are really lifelike."

Xia Mengning picked up the shoes she made and looked left and right, and bent her eyes with a smile. "It's also the first personal item I made for Kang'er. I always have to pay attention to it."

After saying that, he said, "Okay, you go and clean it up. Let's go to your mother's place."

Jiu'er stood up, took a cloak for Xia Mengning from the hanger next to him, and wrapped the tiger-headed shoes in a bag. Then the two of them walked to Meifang Garden.

Out of the room, Xia Mengning found that there were small snowflakes outside. Jiu'er stretched out her hand and put on a felt hat for Xia Mengning. The two were walking forward and saw that the group in front of them seemed to have just come back from the outside. Xia Mengning looked at the head, which seemed to be Xia Zhihan.

The two of them stopped their footsteps tacitly and quietly stood under the cypress tree by the wall, hiding their bodies.

Obviously, the group did not find Xia Mengning's master and servant. Xiao Shun, who followed Xia Zhihan, was bending down at this moment and said with a smile, "Young master, your wish can come true today. I'm here to say hello to you first."

Although Xia Zhihan wore a low-key gray-brown mink robe, he still couldn't hide the desire in his eyes and said with a smile, "Sirty, you..."

The joke and complacency between the tone made Xia Mengning frown. Xia Zhihan has no position now, and he is not loved by Xia Chuanyuan. He should be worried about his future, but why Xia Zhihan not only did not worry at all, but had a red expression.

Seeing that Xia Zhihan and his party had gone far away, Xia Mengning and Jiu'er slowly came out from behind the tree. Jiu'er experienced these things around Xia Mengning. It was no longer the timid Jiu'er who used to be. Now in the face of Xia Zhihan, Jiu'er is not afraid.

"Miss, do you think there is a difference?" Looking at Xia Mengning's face, Jiu'er asked.

Xia Mengning nodded, but stared at the group of people who were far away. "The slave beside Xia Zhihan, I saw it for the first time. Jiuer, go and ask Mr. Li to check his details. Also, ask where Xia Zhihan has gone today and who he has been closer recently."

In the past, these things were all done by Wu Qing, but at this time, before Wu Qing fell down, Xia Mengning handed over this matter to Jiu'er. After being together for so long, Xia Mengning had already trusted Jiu'er and believed in Jiu'er's ability.

Jiu'er nodded, and the two slowly walked to Meifang Garden.

When she came to Meifang Garden, Xia Mengning actually found that Wei was also there. Seeing Xia Mengning coming in, Wei hurriedly stood up from the stool and looked at Xia Mengning: "The maidservant has met the third lady."

Xia Mengning was served by Jiu'er and untied her cloak. She looked at Wei with a smile and said, "The fifth aunt is also here. What a rare guest."

As he spoke, he motioned Wei to get up. He walked to the charcoal basin, warmed his hands and walked to Ge, picked up Xia Zhikang and held him in his arms.

After teasing Xia Zhikang for a while, Xia Mengning said, "Mother, I made a pair of tiger-headed shoes for Kanger. Can I try it now?"

Ge Shi nodded, and Jiu'er hurriedly presented the pair of shoes that Xia Mengning had just made. The three of them came and went, and completely regarded Wei as air.

No matter how much Wei can endure it, he can't sit still. He took a handkerchief and clicked it on his lips. Wei coughed twice and said, "The maidservant and concubine saw that these shoes are very good. Presumably Miss San's needlework must be first-class. I don't know if he can let Ran'er learn from Miss San tomorrow. After all, he is about to be close to it. It's not good. I can't do anything.

When Wei spoke, she always maintained a faint tone, but the right smile and gaze made people feel her kind and easy-going.

Xia Mengning smiled, helped Xia Zhikang put on the tiger-headed shoes, shook Xia Zhikang's short legs, and said, "What the fifth aunt said is wrong. I remember that my father invited Xiu Niang to the house to teach every year. How can I be a teacher?"

A word that was not hard and soft blocked Wei back. Wei's face was as usual, but she was secretly resentful. Although this third lady, although she had already known that she was not a fuel-efficient lamp, now it seems that if she endured like before, I'm afraid that the Prime Minister's Mansion will fall into her hands in a few days.

Wei Shi thought of this and smiled softly, "Left is just a joke between sisters. The third lady has a lot of trouble, so it's not convenient to disturb."

When Xia Mengning heard the words, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes. Humph, is this a disguised way to say that she is not friendly and deliberately does not get along well with her sister?

This Wei family finally couldn't help taking action.

Xia Mengning smiled slightly, and her eyes bent into the shape of a half-string moon. "In his position, although this is a court official, Ning'er feels that everyone is like this. My father asked me to help manage the family affairs, but my fifth aunt asked me to teach my fifth sister Nvhong. I'm afraid I can't deal with this matter."

As he spoke, Xia Mengning looked at Wei with a little deep meaning.

Wei was shocked. She didn't know if Xia Mengning had seen anything, but every time she touched Xia Mengning's calm eyes, Wei's heart trembled.

With a slight smile, Wei said, "Today, the master also asked me to tell my sister that my sister is weak and has to take care of the young master. I'm afraid that she can't take care of the family for a while. Although the third lady is intelligent, she is still young anyway. Therefore, the master asked the concubine to ask if the third lady has something. If you can't be busy, just support your concubine."

This is really skillful. There is no intention to seize power. Every sentence is to show your humility. If Xia Mengning refuses, I'm afraid it will be publicized by people with intentions in the future and ruin her reputation.

From a self-proclaimed maidservant to a concubine, how could Xia Mengning not hear the show-off and intention in Wei's words? In this case, she didn't have to be polite to her.

She narrowed her eyes. Xia Mengning looked at Wei and said, "Since it's what Dad means, my aunt doesn't have to be humble. It's just that I can't find anything to do for you. Why don't I talk to my father in person tomorrow and let him make an idea? That's good."

Wei was stunned and obviously heard the sarcasm and disdain between Xia Mengning's tone. He thought that he was scolded as a slave in front of a concubine's young lady, but he still said it himself. Wei pinched the handkerchief in his hand and really tasted the indescribable taste.

Xia Mengning looked at Wei's pretending to be calm. She was extremely disdainful, but she no longer paid attention to Wei. She turned her head and said to Ge, "Mother, I just learned an embroidery method a few days ago. It's very interesting. Why don't I show it to you?"

When Wei saw it, he didn't stay any longer. He got up and left.

Seeing that Wei Shi left, Xia Mengning looked at Ge Shi and said, "Mother, have you been moved by her again?"

Ge Shi shook his head, "Silly daughter, how come? I know all kinds of relationships in the house at this time, and I'm on guard against her."

Xia Mengning nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. The Wei family is very deep. You can't be soft-hearted. Last time my mother had a difficult delivery, the woman Fu family, also had something to do with the Wei family."

The two had a conversation. Seeing that the sun was slowly rising, Xia Mengning also stayed soon. She told Ge Shi a few words and went back to Zhuzhi Garden.

Jiu'er went to the steward's room to inquire. Xia Mengning slowly walked back to the bamboo branch garden alone. The bamboo branch garden and Meifang garden were not far away. Xia Mengning enjoyed the snow scenery all the way back to the bamboo branch garden. From a distance, she saw the door of the bamboo branch garden open. When she approached, she heard a familiar voice inside.

"Who raised a rabbit in my girl's house? I don't know if I hate rabbits the most. Throw it out quickly..."

Xia Mengning can imagine Wu Qing's angry appearance at this moment without thinking about it. At this moment, a helpless voice said, "I said Wu Qing, you haven't come back for so long, and you will make a lot of noise as soon as you come back. Be careful that I go to sue you in front of the young lady..."

Xia Mengning walked in and saw Zhulian holding the rabbit in her arms and opening her eyes angrily to Wu Qing sitting in the porch. Xia Mengning suddenly felt that this scene had not been seen for a long time. Since the last time she entered the palace, she had not been so relaxed for a long time. It turned out that those hidden crises and risks were in this It is the happiest thing to see that these people closest to you can still be by your side.

When Xia Mengning thought like this, Wu Qing and Zhulian had already laughed at each other. Xia Mengning looked at it and couldn't help laughing.

The voice shocked the two people who were giggling. Wu Qing turned his head and saw Xia Mengning standing there smiling at her. Wu Qing stood up in a little stunned. Xia Mengning slowly walked over and stood beside Wu Qing and looked at her.

Wu Qing's lips shook uncontrollably a few times, and then turned his face slightly and said carelessly, "Why, I haven't come back for so long. Is there no place for me to sleep here?"

Xia Mengning looked at Wu Qing, and her eyes turned red when she turned her face. Obviously, she already knew what had happened. Presumably, Changsun Yun should have told her.

Xia Mengning was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She, who had always been tiful, suddenly became afraid to speak. Anyway, no matter what she said, she couldn't get rid of a sense of showing off in front of Wu Qing.

In the past, although he saw Wu Qing's heart for Changsun Yun, Wu Qing did not know that the secret had been known to him, so as long as the matter was not broken, the two could maintain a peaceful relationship. But now, everything has been said, and Changsun Yun has always been unwilling to delay this kind of thing. With mud and water, Xia Mengning could hardly think of how Changsun Yun said to Wu Qing.

Therefore, Xia Mengning's words were blocked in her heart and she couldn't say them.
