Chapter 114 Returning from defeat 2

It has been more than half a month since Changsun Yun left. Xia Mengning runs between Zhuzhi Garden and Meifang Garden every day. For the rest of the time, she embroidered flowers and writes, and her life is also relaxed and comfortable.

The weather became colder day by day, and the house sent cold-proof bedding and new clothes to all the courtyards. Xia Mengning sewed a few thickened pillows and wanted to send them to Ge Shi.

Gurdjie's body is getting heavier and heavier now. This pillow is softer, which can make her much more comfortable when she sleeps at night.

The two were talking when Jiu'er came in. Xia Mengning looked up at her and said, "What's wrong?"

Jiu'er looked at it and whispered, "Miss, in the front yard, it is said that the young master is back."

Xia Mengning paused and nodded and said, "Dad sent someone to call me?"

Jiu'er nodded. Xia Mengning put down the needle and thread in her hand and stood up. Jiu'er hurried to pick up the cloak and put it on her. Xia Mengning turned her head and said to Ge Shi, "Don't worry, aunt. I'll go and have a look first."

Ge Shi nodded, and Xia Mengning turned around and walked out with Jiu'er.

The two walked to Yong'an Hall and heard a harsh voice from it from afar. Xia Mengning was relieved and felt a shiver of Jiu'er beside her, so she reached out and patted her hand. Her eyes were extremely gentle and said, "Don't be afraid, there's me."

Jiu'er looked at Xia Mengning and nodded after a long time.

Entering the gate of Yong'an Hall, Xia Mengning went straight to the door. The woman who was guarding the door smiled and lifted the curtain, looking flattering.

Entering the room, Xia Mengning first walked to the front and saluted: "I've seen my father!"

Seeing Xia Mengning coming, Xia Chuanyuan, who sat on the top, said, "Sit down."

Xia Mengning sat aside and felt a strong look. She looked up. It was her eldest brother, Xia Zhihan.

Seeing the cowardly and silent Xia Mengning in his memory looking at him plainly, Xia Zhihan was stunned, and then raised a smile at the corners of his mouth and said, "It's just half a year. I didn't expect that the third sister was so touching."

Xia Mengning smiled, but she didn't answer his words. She naturally looked at Xia Chuanyuan and asked with a smile, "What's the matter with dad calling his daughter?"

Xia Chuanyuan's face pale, "The Spring Festival is coming. Everything in the house, big and small, has to be handled. I'm also weak. It's up to you to assist your mother in this backyard. She is also a pregnant person. You can't work too hard. Sooner or later, you have to learn to take care of these things. Now practice first. What's the matter? Just tell me the problem."

Xia Mengning didn't expect that Xia Chuanyuan could give the housekeeper's power to herself and Gu Shi so easily. In addition to her surprise, she also had a small sense of achievement.

"Daughter will obey her father's words."

Xia Zhihan sat there and looked at Xia Mengning's movements. He was more than a little surprised. This concubine, who had always been silent before, really, as her aunt said, not only kicked her mother and sister out, but also won the favor of her father.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhihan himself was a little more irritable and angry. He lost the battle and was demoted by the emperor. Outsiders didn't know how to laugh at him. However, when he returned to the house, his mother and sister had already been sent to the hutong. The power in the house turned the limelight. He not only had to be scolded and white-eyed by his father, but also Even the slaves in the house laugh at themselves openly and secretly. At least they are the eldest son of the Prime Minister's mansion. How can they tolerate such humiliation?

Xia Zhihan thought here that Xia Mengning over there had stood up and left. Seeing this, Xia Zhihan quickly stood up and was ready to go out. Unexpectedly, Xia Chuanyuan said, "Be honest recently. The emperor is suspicious about things on the front line. If you still don't know whether to live or die. Go to death. Don't blame me for not recognizing your son at that time.

Xia Zhihan was stunned, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he tended to be strict with Xia Chuanyuan, so he had to give up.

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er came out together and walked directly to the bamboo garden. Jiu'er followed Xia Mengning and lost her previous smiling face. Xia Mengning sighed silently in her heart and stopped to look at Jiuer and said, "The past is over. Don't let your heart be tortured because of other people's mistakes. You Look, now is his retribution.

Jiu'er lowered her head and gently nodded a few times. Her thin little body trembled in the cold wind. Xia Mengning couldn't bear it and made up her mind to enlighten her well after returning to Zhuzhiyuan. Now she said, "Let's go."

The two were about to go back when they saw Xia Zhihan coming out of Yong'an Hall, dressed in a blue cotton robe and covered with a black cloak. Perhaps because of staying in the barracks all year round, his face was a little vicissitudes.

"Why did the third sister hide from me?" Xia Zhihan walked very fast. After a while, he walked to Xia Mengning and asked with a smile.

Xia Mengning smiled, but she was not ready to be polite to him. She forced Fang and Xia Mengxi away. I was afraid that Geng had already told him his bad behavior. He was the enemy, and naturally he could not be polite.

"The eldest brother returned with praise, and the younger sister naturally did not dare to approach it more, so as not to damage her reputation."

Such merciless sarcasm made Xia Zhihan's face turn pale. The momentum of often marching and fighting is scary. With such a cold face, his mouth full of teeth creaked a little. Jiu'er was a little scared and quietly moved behind Xia Mengning.

Xia Zhihan gritted his teeth and didn't expect Xia Mengning to be so direct. Then he said, "Doesn't the third sister think that she will use some disgraceful means to force her mother and sister away and please her father, so that she can have no worries?"

Xia Mengning smiled and looked at Xia Zhihan disdainfully. "What did the eldest brother say? If you talk about being disrespectful, don't you know that the eldest sister has privately set a life with a foreign man and exchanged tokens?"

With that, he continued: "As for the eldest brother's mother, I'm afraid the eldest brother doesn't know that she has smoked the spices of the Western Regions and is crazy. This spice was personally ordered by the emperor to alert the whole country. Does the eldest brother know that she was almost be beheaded? It was me who I went to plead in front of my father to spare his life. Speaking of which, big brother should thank me well.

Xia Zhihan was almost mad. Looking at Xia Mengning's arrogant and proud face, a fierce anger appeared in his eyes. He grinded his teeth and said, "Xia Mengning, don't be so arrogant. Now that I'm back, I can't let you make waves in the house."

Xia Mengning smiled softly and looked up and asked, "Oh? I didn't know that the eldest brother was downgraded from a deputy general to the gatekeeper, and he still had the confidence to get rid of me?

With that, Xia Mengning looked at the angry Xia Zhihan and said with a smile, "If there is nothing else, my sister will leave first."

When Xia Zhihan saw that Xia Mengning was about to leave, his face became iron and blue. How could he be? He was the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. How could he make a stinky girl ridiculed? Thinking of this, Xia Zhihan stepped forward a few steps and reached out to stop Xia Mengning.

Jiu'er was originally afraid of Xia Zhihan. Now when she saw him acting like this, her face couldn't help but turn pale with fear, and her body repeatedly hid behind Xia Mengning.

Xia Mengning was very disgusted. She stretched out her hand to protect Jiu'er. She also took a step back and raised her face and asked, "What is the eldest brother doing? Do you want to do it?"

Xia Zhihan suddenly saw Jiu'er behind Xia Mengning. Seeing that the other party was so afraid of him, he suddenly remembered the little girl's story.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhihan's face softened, "Are you Jiu'er?"

Xia Mengning frowned and pulled Jiu'er's body back. When Xia Zhihan saw this scene, he affirmed his judgment more and more. He couldn't help laughing and said, "It turned out to be Jiu'er. At the beginning, the young master asked for you, but he didn't give you a name. Now the young master is also back. Why don't I go to my father and ask for you. What?"

Jiu'er's body kept shivering and said intermittently, "No...servant... dare not..."

Xia Zhihan smiled a little obscenely and stretched out his hand to grab Jiu'er. "Why are you also the young master? Why are you ashamed?"

Jiu'er shouted and dodged Xia Zhihan's hand. Unexpectedly, Xia Zhihan reached out to grab Jiu'er's hand despite Xia Mengning's presence.

Xia Mengning took Jiu'er to take a step back and looked at him coldly and said, "Big brother, what are you going to do? Do you want to be strong against the girl around me?"

Xia Zhihan smiled, "The third sister doesn't know..."

"I know everything!" Xia Mengning interrupted him without hesitation and said coldly, "I know what dirty means the eldest brother and sister used to force Jiu'er to submit. Is it possible that the eldest brother wants to make this matter public? Do you want to be willing to make trouble in front of your father?"

Xia Zhihan's face turned cold, "Well, it's just a girl. Do I still want it?"

Xia Mengning looked at him and said, "Big brother has such a big tone, but this girl, you really have to do it. If the eldest brother wants to threaten me by making this matter public, then the eldest brother had better think clearly. The person who robs the girl, will the emperor still consider promotion to his position? I advise the eldest brother that it is better to stay on the front line. Leave a way out for yourself.

Xia Zhihan was deterred by the momentum when Xia Mengning spoke. He felt a cold heart and said, "Can't I even touch a girl?" With that, his eyes darkened, and he was about to reach out to grab Jiu'er's arm.

A flame suddenly rose from Xia Mengning's eyes. He had told him for so long, but he still wanted to use the strong one. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning suddenly took action, lightly clamped Xia Zhihan's arm in mid-air, and looked at him coldly with a pair of beautiful eyes: "Don't try to challenge my bottom line!"

Xia Zhihan crawled and rolled in the military camp all year round. Naturally, he would not pay attention to Xia Mengning. At this time, he broke away from Xia Mengning's hand, turned sideways and grabbed Jiu'er.

Xia Mengning's anger was completely provoked. She came forward and grabbed Xia Zhihan's wrist and pulled it fiercely. Xia Zhihan, who was almost one head taller than her, fell to the ground awkwardly.

The soft sword was pulled out from her waist. Xia Mengning's wrists flew over, and she only heard a few 'brushes'. The hairband on Xia Zhihan's head was cut off, and a black hair was instantly disturbed by the wind.

"You..." Xia Zhihan didn't expect to be subdued by Xia Mengning. He raised his head from the ground to speak, but was suddenly put on his neck by Xia Mengning's sword.

Xia Mengning stood in front of him and looked at him condescendingly, with cold eyes. "Xia Zhihan, don't move Jiu'er. If you want to try, I can take your head at any time!"

The girl is dressed in a sky-blue cloak, her white jade-like face is almost transparent in the snow, and her thin lips are slightly open, but it is a frightening word.

Xia Zhihan looked at Xia Mengning like this and suddenly hoarse. He was stunned in place, but he didn't react for a long time.
