Chapter 63 Conspiracy 2
Xia Mengning finished her meal and was about to go to Rongfu Hall to say good. She saw Li Yan coming in from the door with two family members. Seeing Xia Mengning, Li Yan immediately smiled and saluted, "I've met the third lady."
Xia Mengning nodded with a smile, "The steward Li came early. I'm going to invite my grandmother. Please do whatever you want. If you don't understand, just ask the girl."
Li Yan nodded with understanding and greeted the two families to go into the room to repair the table. Xia Mengning and Jiuer walked out of the yard together. Before coming to the garden, Li Yan hurried from behind.
"I don't know why the third lady called the little one to come?"
Xia Mengning wink at Jiu'er. Jiu'er immediately took two steps away. Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Yesterday, the girl in my garden went out to do business, but on the way back, she was framed by a bad man and almost lost her life. I'm afraid the reason is that it's hard to say. However, I suspect it has something to do with the steward. Today, Li called the steward. I just want to ask the stewer to pay more attention and help me see who is suspicious in the stewer's room.
After saying that, Li Yan immediately understood what Xia Mengning meant and nodded quickly and said, "It's incumbent on the little one to work for the third lady. The third lady should wait and see what happens, and the trusted family will go to report it."
Xia Mengning smiled and said, "So, thank you."
After saying that, Xia Mengning went to Rongfu Hall with Jiu'er. As soon as she entered the door, she heard bursts of laughter from inside. Xia Mengning listened carefully. It was her grandmother, Xie.
Entering into the room, the girl in front of the door lifted the curtain for Xia Mengning. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Xia Mengran sitting next to Xie. The two were smiling happily, which was a happy phenomenon.
Seeing Xia Mengning go in, Xie immediately pulled down her face. Xia Mengran also smiled and walked to Xia Mengning in front of her. "I've seen the third sister."
Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Don't be polite."
Then he walked to Xie and said, "I've met my grandmother."
As if he hadn't heard it, Xie picked up the tea bowl on the table and brushed the tea foam. He took a sip of it lightly. He glanced at Xia Mengning, who was standing underneath, and a trace of contemptuousness rose from the corners of his mouth.
The people in the room did not dare to come out. As time passed, Xie had finished drinking a cup of tea. When he glanced at Xia Mengning, he saw that the other party was still in a relaxed posture, elegantly bending his body, and his face was calm. Even the girl next to him bowed and knelt behind him, sinking. There was no trace of panic in the silence.
"Cough..." Xie coughed unnaturally, as if he suddenly woke up, and said faintly to Xia Mengning, "Get up."
Jiu'er hurriedly stood up and helped Xia Mengning, who gently opened her red lips, "Thank you, grandmother."
Seeing Xia Mengning's appearance, Xie couldn't help but feel angry. At that moment, she said coldly, "It's just a salute, and it has to be supported by a girl. Our prime minister's house is a young lady, but there is not such a noble reason, not to mention that when your eldest sister was there was not treated like this."
This is to find fault with yourself! Xia Mengning smiled. What's the important thing? Now that she has dealt with Xia Mengxi, Fang's family is also a matter of time. Many big things have gone forward according to their own plans. Do you still care about this little difficulty?
Walking forward, Xia Mengning replied with a smile, "What my grandmother taught me is that Ning'er has been taught, and she will not dare to violate it in the future."
It is a serious lady's demeanor. Xia Mengning's salute is elegant and calm, and there is no omission. Xie looked at it a few times and said coldly, "Get up."
Xia Mengning lowered her head and sat down. After a while, Xie said to Xia Mengran with a smile, "Raaner, come here."
Xia Mengran blushed and walked to Xie's side. Xie took out a box of plum blossom branches from under the table on the small couch and said to Xia Mengran with a smile, "Look, these are all grandmother's jewelry when she was young. Take whatever you like."
Xia Mengran was flattered by the sudden reward. Xie patted her hand. "It's almost the age. It's time to dress up. Grandma should worry about your marriage."
Hearing this, Xia Mengran's face turned redder and he shook his body. Xie took out a gold peacock screen hairpin from the box and put it in his hand and looked at it carefully: "Look at this hairpin. How meticulous the workmanship is. This was made by the jeweler in the palace. Come on, grandma will put it for you."
With that, Xia Mengran bent down. Xie gently put it on her hair. Xia Mengran raised her head. The scarlet tassels were matched with huge emeralds, which were shining in her hair, which was not dazzling.
"Tut, Miss Five is really beautiful when she wears it, like a fairy coming down to earth." Chen's mother beside her flattered.
Which girl doesn't want to be praised for being beautiful by others? Xia Mengran is very vain. Hearing this, she is particularly happy, but she is still a scheming person. She smiled and said, "It's my grandmother who has a good vision and chooses a good-looking one."
Xie was so coaxed by Xia Mengran's words that she couldn't close her mouth, and she kept praising how Xia Mengran was marked.
There was no change in Xia Mengning's face. She just sat aside and drank tea. From time to time, she whispered to Jiu'er, and the corners of her mouth gently raised.
Xie and Xia Mengran finally discussed how beautiful the hairpin was. They looked up and saw Xia Mengning. Xie was puzzled. She deliberately rewarded such a precious hairpin in front of her to stimulate her, but she didn't expect that the other party was like nothing. She couldn't help but be angry and didn't make a sound. She just drank noodles. The tea in front.
Xia Mengran came down and sat down next to Xia Mengning, deliberately making a proud gesture. It can be seen that Xia Mengning looks light, and her heart is like Xie's, doubtful and angry.
After sitting for a while, Xie also felt bored, so he held his head and said he wanted to rest. Everyone saluted again and walked out of the door.
Xia Mengning and Jiu'er were coming out of the door of Rongfutang. They saw Xia Mengran and Xiaolu standing under the tree. Seeing Xia Mengning coming out, Xia Mengran came over and smiled, "I haven't seen the third sister for a long time. I don't know how the third sister is doing recently?"
Xia Mengning smiled. Seeing Xia Mengran's proud face, she couldn't help contempt, "It's okay, my fifth sister, remember it."
Xia Mengran looked at Xia Mengning's expression. She was plain and calm, and she was slightly angry. She deliberately dialed the tassels between her hair with her hand and said with a smile, "Fengshui takes turns. The third sister forced the eldest sister away. I didn't expect that it was me who was most favored by my grandmother now."
Xia Mengning smiled and shook her head without saying a word.
Xia Mengran's awkward smile was too late to take back, so she asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing. I just think the fifth sister has a bright future. My sister is here to congratulate my sister first. I hope my sister can get what she wants and everything goes well."
Xia Mengran straightened up and straightened up. Hearing this, she couldn't help but feel a little complacent. She also put that little reason behind her mind and straightened up and said, "Just now, my grandmother rewarded me with a hairpin, regardless of the presence of the third sister. Isn't the third sister sad?"
Xia Mengning said nothing. He stood aside and looked at Xia Mengran with a smile. The latter covered the corners of his lips and smiled and said, "But yes, my third sister and I are both a concubine's daughter, but the origin of the fifth aunt is much better than that of the fourth aunt. The root of this humble body is also hereditary. Third sister, are you right?"
Xia Mengning narrowed her eyes. Today, she didn't want to deal with life, but Xia Mengran also bullied people too much. She had just been in the limelight in the room. During the period when she came out, she didn't want to care about her a lot, but this person was bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning couldn't help smiling and insisted. He fanned in front of his face, "The fifth sister is so strange. How can I be jealous when my grandmother rewards you?" With that, he deliberately raised his arm in front of Xia Mengran, and the jade wrench finger on his thumb was more clearly displayed in front of Xia Mengran.
Xia Mengning's skin was snow-white, against the white and flawless wrenches, which was more delicate and crystal. Xia Mengran also saw it. She couldn't help gritting her teeth and secretly saying how she had forgotten this.
Xia Mengning has a royal gift from the world's son. How can she like the hairpin made by the first jeweler in the capital?
Seeing that Xia Mengran's face was unhappy, Xia Mengning took her hand and walked to Xia Mengran's side. She said in a low voice, "The fifth aunt was born in a businessman. Even if she is the richest man in the capital, she is still the daughter of a merchant with a smell of copper. The fifth sister is so dexterous that she even thinks that the daughter of a merchant can also be in front of the world. Is it the fifth sister? My sister doesn't remember that the fourth aunt is the legitimate daughter of the county magistrate. The fifth sister naturally knows which is higher and which is lower!"
Xia Mengran's face turned pale and her hands were clenched tightly. When Xia Mengning saw her appearance, she stepped back a few steps and said, "The fifth sister doesn't have to think too much. I'm not interested in dealing with you. If you want to stay well until the day of marriage, please accept those thoughts, serve your grandmother well, and please."
After saying that, he turned around and left with Jiu'er.
Xia Mengran looked at Xia Mengning's distant back, and a strong hatred surged up in his heart. Xiaolu looked up and quickly said, "Miss, don't be angry with her. Now you are the most favored in front of the old lady. In this prime minister's house, the old lady is the most talkative. As long as you hold the old lady tightly, how can you fall down? Is the wind going?
Xia Mengran looked at Xiao Lv in a blink of an eye and didn't say anything. She turned around and walked back to the Shexiang Garden.
In Rongfu Hall, Chen's mother was reporting to Xie what had just happened. Xie leaned lazily on the couch and said without opening her eyes, "I thought it was a person who could calm down, but I didn't expect it to be a person who couldn't stand on the stage. Why does this one annoy me so much?"
Mother Chen walked over and beat Xie's legs. Hearing this, she looked up and said, "The old slave looked at the fifth lady as calculating, but she was still young, and it was inevitable that she couldn't calm down. The old lady was pointing aside. In a few days, she would be fine."
Xie Shi sighed, "If so, it's the best. It's just that the three girls are too popular. You can find some good materials to send to Xie Xiangyuan, and call the five girls to eat in the evening."
Chen's mother got the order and turned around and went out.
