Chapter 12 Fang's Poisonous Hand 1

"Get up!" Xia Mengning pulled her up and took out a jade Buddha tied with a red rope from the bottom of her jewelry box. "This jade Buddha was opened in front of the Buddha. I'll put it on for you. I hope it can bring you good luck in the future."

The gentle words made Jiu'er's eyes red. No one has been so kind to her in her life except her mother. Xia Mengning took a veil to wipe her tears. "Don't cry. Since you want to take revenge, you have to be strong first."

Jiu'er nodded, and Xia Mengning looked at her. "You go down first. You can also take this hairpin first. Don't show your feet. Let me know when there is any situation." Yes!" Jiu'er lowered her head and retreated.

Xia Mengning was immersed in the affairs of Jiu'er, and even Zhulian didn't realize it when she came back.

"Miss, Miss..."

Xia Mengning came to her senses, and Zhulian was standing in front of her with a suspicious face. "What's the young lady thinking? I've been calling you hello for a while."

Xia Mengning shook her head, "It's nothing. Is it done?"

Zhulian happily took out a silver ticket and a heavy purse from her sleeve and handed it to her. "The bracelet and hairpin are a total of seven hundred taels. There are one hundred taels of silver in the purse, and the silver ticket has also been changed to HSBC Qianzhuang as Miss said."

Xia Mengning looked carefully, put the silver ticket in the box at the head of the bed, and carefully locked it, but the purse was put on the dressing table. Zhulian whispered, "Miss, the maidservant just came in from the yard and saw the girl's eyes red."

Xia Mengning told Zhulian what happened, but cleverly hid the part where Jiu'er was stained by the young master. After listening, Zhulian sighed, "This Jiu'er is really hard-working, but fortunately she is still clever. The young lady can have another loyal girl in the future."

Xia Mengning nodded, looked at it was almost evening, and said to Zhulian, "Go to the kitchen to see if the dinner is ready. Just say that the hibiscus chicken I ate at noon tastes good, and send another plate."

Zhulian was a little surprised. The rest of the lunch was given to her. The hibiscus chicken obviously didn't move much, but when she heard the young lady's instructions, she nodded and walked out.

Xia Mengning sat by the bed. Through the moon-yellow gauze in front of the window, she could see that Jiu'er was sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard. Her thin body was bent into a rather bitter arc. Xia Mengning looked at it and felt a little sad.

Soon, Zhulian came in with a food box, with a smile on her face. "Miss, I just met Mother Xin on the way back from the big kitchen. She was ordered by the old lady to ask you to go to the front hall for dinner."

Xia Mengning raised her head and said, "Oh? What else did Xin's mother say?

Zhulian put down the food box and thought for a moment, "Mother Xin said to let the young lady wear it decently and not be too plain." After saying that, he wondered, "It's just a meal in the front hall. Why don't you let it be plain?"

Xia Mengning stood up and smiled, "That's Xin's mother reminding me that I have guests today. I always don't like gorgeous, so Xin's mother said so, dress up properly, so as not to be seen as the joke of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Zhulian was surprised, "Do you have any guests?"

Xia Mengning walked over and opened the food box to have a look. There were still four dishes and one soup inside, so she said to Zhulian, "Go outside and ask Jiu'er to come in."

Zhu Lian already knew about Jiu'er, so she went out and called her in.

Jiu'er seemed to be a little flustered. Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Look at your thinness. It's not bad to taste this hibiscus chicken at noon today. I'll reward you at night. Just eat it. Don't be so thin."

Although it was a slightly reproachful tone, Jiu'er's eyes turned red, "Thank you, Miss Three, thank you, Miss Three."

"I'm going to eat in the front hall. You go first. The yard is very clean. There is no need to clean it. Go to the room and have a rest." Jiu'er shook her head with the plate in her hand. "The young lady is out. There is no one to guard the yard. The maidservant is watching at the door of the yard, waiting for the young lady and Sister Zhulian to come back."

Xia Mengning smiled, but the Pearl Lotus beside her was a little moved. She walked up and patted Jiu'er's hand and said, "Okay, Jiu'er, then you go and eat first. I'll serve the lady to dress up before leaving."

Jiu'er looked at Xia Mengning and saw that the latter nodded to her with a smile, so she thanked En and bowed her head and went out.

Xia Mengning sat in front of the dressing table. Zhulian was carefully combing her bun. Xia Mengning looked at it and twisted her eyebrows and said, "Don't be too cumbersome. Just comb a crooked moon bun and bring two hairpins casually."

Pearl Lotus gently picked up her bun, spread out her hair behind her, put a yellow glazed blue and white hairpin for Xia Meng's oblique hairpin, and put on a set of blue and white ball earrings. Pearl Lotus looked at the people in the mirror and smiled, "Miss is extremely beautiful. Dressing up like this makes people unable to move their eyes."

Xia Mengning smiled, "Honey mouth!"

I'm very happy. Today's guests must be extraordinary. Fang will naturally attend with her baby daughter. I'm afraid that others will steal the limelight of her baby daughter, but she is not as good as her wishes. Isn't she the best Xia Mengxi's reputation? Today, she will definitely tear her up fiercely.

"Let's go." Xia Mengning said to Zhulian, and the two walked out of the door. Jiu'er was eating in the room and looking out. When she saw them coming out, she immediately wiped her mouth and followed them out. Zhulian smiled at her and said, "It's your sister."

Jiu'er nodded hurriedly. Xia Mengning and Zhulian went far away. When they turned around, they saw Jiu'er still standing at the door of the yard like a bodyguard.

Zhulian sighed, "This Jiu'er is a real person. When I see her maidservant, I think of my maidservant's sister. If I hadn't died of illness, I'm afraid she would have been so old."

Xia Mengning lowered her eyes, and Zhulian helped her all the way to the front hall. The woman at the door had seen them for a long time and hurriedly came over to salute, "Miss San is here. The old lady is waiting for you inside."

Xia Mengning nodded and handed a look to Zhulian. Zhulian next to her immediately took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve and put it in the woman's hand. The woman pinched it secretly and smiled so much that her face was full of wrinkles. "The third lady should be careful of the threshold. The eldest lady is talking with her sister-in-law inside."

My sister-in-law? Xia Mengning thought slightly that it was the wife of the general of Zhenguo, and this Fang was so eager to wait.

nodded and smiled, and finally understood what the woman said to herself.

Entering the room, first I heard someone saying something eagerly. Several female voices came. Xia Mengning walked in, and the maid beside her immediately said, "Old lady, the third lady is coming."

Opening the curtain, Xia Mengning lowered her head and fell to Xie's head first. "Grandma, my granddaughter is late." Xie nodded with a smile, "Get up quickly. It's not too late to have dinner yet."

Xia Mengning stood up and saluted Fang beside her, "I've seen my mother."

Fang Shi lost her previous face. She smiled and pulled her to the woman beside her and said, "Come on, you are the only one left. This is your aunt. Come and see her."

Xia Mengning looked up slightly and saw a woman sitting next to the Fang family, who was dressed in a tedious bun with drooping flowers. At that moment, she said with a smile, "Ning'er has seen her aunt."

Geng, the wife of the general of Zhenguo, looked coldly at the person in front of her. She wore a long skirt made of sky-blue brocade and flowing satin, a moon-yellow belt around her waist, pressed the yellow pair of fish playing with water jade pendant, and covered with a thin white and pink silk coat. The girl's skin was as white as jade, and her dark hair was light and ordinary. The crescent moon bun, there is no tedious headdress on the head. There is only a blue and white hairpin. Although the dress is extremely simple, it makes people unable to find faults. This Fang wrote to himself that he had encountered big trouble. It is not only such a milky yellow-haired girl, but also worth running an errand. Thinking of this, Geng smiled slightly and picked up one. The teacup next to him drank tea slowly, but left Xia Mengning aside.

Xia Mengning didn't feel different. She still lowered her head, her knees were slightly bent, and there was no other look on her face. Geng took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and said slowly, "Get up."

Xia Mengning stood up calmly and smiled on her face. This Mrs. Zhenguo was a rescuer invited by the Fang family. If she didn't make things difficult for her first, it would be difficult. In this way, she would be able to figure out what they wanted to do, right?

Xie's face was a little worried. The Geng family, relying on himself as the mistress of the Duke of Zhen, could come to other people's houses like this. After thinking about it, he looked at Fang and didn't say anything.

At this time, a maid came in and reported, "Old lady, the Prime Minister came back and said that he wanted you to take the ladies to the front hall."

Xie nodded, got up first, stood up and walked out, and everyone behind followed him out.

When she came to the front hall, there were several male voices talking in the room next to her. Xia Mengning frowned slightly, as if she was a little uncomfortable. Xie went to sit down behind a screen, and many women also sat down next to each other. At this time, the men came out of the inside and sat at the table outside.
