Chapter 65 Snow in Early Winter (Dark Hatred)

After the incident of Xiao Huanyu and Qi Huile, the whole Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to be shrouded in a low atmosphere. Xiao Shuyong, the old lady and the old lady were busy dealing with these two things and trying to repair the relationship with the Qi family, so they had no time to take care of Xiao Lingxiao. Xiao Huanyu has been looking for death again and again since she woke up. Xiao Huanxue takes care of her every day and does not allow others to enter the yard. She is not good at split and has no heart to calculate Xiao Lingxiao.

During this period, Xiao Lingxiao was not idle. With Xiao Fengming operating in front, she became the owner behind several large stores in the imperial city in a blink of an eye. These large stores were not only taken care of by Shang Yu in the business field, but also received a lot of care in the officialdom. These are the help of the sixth prince Li Jingxuan and Monk Xuan. The business is soaring, the books are full of gold and silver, and Xiao Lingxiao is so happy that he can't close his mouth every day.

And she gradually found that Xiao Fengming, although he is not old, is not only full of courage in business, but also far-sighted. There is no need for Xiao Lingxiao to say that he seems to understand why Xiao Lingxiao desperately wants to enrich his treasury. Unconsciously, Xiao Lingxiao found that wherever she went, people's eyes looking at her had changed.

With this money and the power behind this money, Xiao Lingxiao has a little more confidence.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the first snow is coming in a blink of an eye.

In the Qinghe courtyard, the maids had already hung up the warm curtains, and the charcoal basins were also burning red.

Narcissus picked up the warm curtain and entered the warm pavilion, respectfully put a plate of washed fruit on the warm table, and then quietly retreated.

On the warm couch, Xiao Lingxiao sat cross-legged behind the square table in a small flower jacket, looking at the fruit on the plate with a surprised face, "Where did the peaches come from in this winter?" There is no anti-seasonal fruit in greenhouses in this world. This thing must have been sent from a very warm place.

Xiao Fengming picked the biggest peach for Xiao Lingxiao and said with a doting smile, "No matter where it comes from, you can taste it first."

Xiao Lingxiao took a big bite of the peach in both hands. The pulp was plump, the juice was sweet, and it was delicious!

Xiao Fengming saw that Xiao Lingxiao was happy and satisfied with what he ate, and then said, "The southernmost part of Xuehan is the season of peaches, where peaches have always tasted the sweetest. It happened that Shang Lunyu's caravan was over there, so I asked someone to send it back as quickly as possible. If you only use a fast horse to rush, it is impossible to send it from such a long distance. Xiao Fengming did not explain more to Xiao Lingxiao.

Xiao Lingxiao ate peaches and felt that Xiao Fengming seemed to be deliberately hiding something, but what she was more concerned about was another thing. "Shang Lingyu is strange enough. She lost so much money to me and tried her best to help us. Feng Ming said, is there such a stupid person in the world? She seems to respond to your request... By the way, did you get the entry post of Marriott gambling from her?

When Xiao Fengming was asked this, his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed. He nodded, "It's true that she gave it to me..." After saying this, he suddenly thought of something and smiled in surprise, "Ling Xiao, don't you like her? Why?"

"I always feel that she has another intention..." Xiao Lingxiao bit the peach and said this vaguely. Suddenly, she found that Xiao Fengming was looking at her with a happy and expectant face. Only then did she realize Xiao Fengming's thoughts. Her face turned red and she said angrily, "What's the end of your boy!" Auntie doesn't want to be jealous of you and her!"

Since the two slept together all night, Xiao Fengming seemed to be more unscrupulous, which gave Xiao Lingxiao a headache.

But Xiao Fengming laughed even more happily when he heard the words, "Isn't it? Hahaha, if Lingxiao doesn't like it, I will ignore her in the future.

"That won't work!" Without Shang Lingyu's help, Xiao Lingxiao doesn't know how much money their business will earn. "If she is really interested in you, I will sell you to her for another two million taels of silver!"

"Really? Are you willing? Who will make peaches for you after selling me?

"Well..."

The two were laughing, and the footsteps sounded. Bao Ronger opened the warm curtain and walked in. Bao Ronger seemed to be used to the two people laughing on the warm couch. She frowned and said, "Master, the old lady just sent a post." After saying that, she handed over a bronzing post to Xiao Lingxiao and then said, "The eldest lady also asked you to come to her place."

Xiao Lingxiao restrained the smile on his face and opened the post. It turned out that it said that he wanted to invite Xiao Lingxiao to step on the first snow.

There is such a custom in Wuqiguo. Every early winter, the sons and ladies of rich families will go to the first snow. In name, they pray for the wind and rain. In fact, this is also a secret blind date between young men and women.

Xiao Fengming read the post, frowned, and took out an identical post from his arms. This thing he received this morning. It seems that the scale of the first snow is not small, and the location is also held in a royal garden called Muyi Garden. Presumably, even the royals will participate in it. It has not been decided yet. Several princes who have been married are bound to be present.

Xiao Fengming was very angry when he thought of the fourth princes and the sixth princes who were interested in Xiao Lingxiao. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Lingxiao again, but saw that she was thinking about something with a sneer.

Xiao Fengming was immediately relieved when he saw this. He thought that he should do everything he should do, so he got up and said goodbye.

After Xiao Fengming left, Xiao Lingxiao asked Narcissus to get a velvet cloak and put on her body, and took Bao Ronger and Narcissus to the yard where the eldest lady lived.

The eldest lady sat on the soft couch with her bulging belly. Her face didn't look as good as before, and the two shadows in her eyes showed her recent hard work. Although she was pregnant, both the old lady and Xiao Shuyong's attitude towards her were very subtle. All this was due to Su Donghan's incident. The reason why the two people did not continue to pursue that matter was all for the face of the Xiao family and the scruples of the Qi family. The eldest lady knows the truth well, so in this matter of Xiao Huanyu and Qi Huile, she tried her best to play her role. Thanks to this, the two families did not tear their faces.

The eldest lady looked at Xiao Lingxiao, who was sitting next to her hand, and saw that she had no more servile as she used to be. Now she is really radiant and imposing. The accessories on her head and the clothes on her body are extremely expensive. Even she, the prime minister's wife, looked jealous.

The eldest lady secretly gritted her teeth. If it hadn't been for this Xiao Lingxiao, how could she have fallen into the current difficult situation? If it hadn't been for Xiao Lingxiao, how could his daughter become like that! Thinking carefully about what happened in the small garden that day, the first lady had already known the plans of Qi Huile and Xiao Huanyu, and also understood why the two girl were killed.

Everything has nothing to do with Xiao Lingxiao, but everything is because of Xiao Lingxiao!

Xiao Lingxiao, damn it!

Xiao Lingxiao, who is sitting there, can really feel the murderous intention from the eldest lady, but she just smiled and whispered, "Lingxiao has been busy with business outside recently. She hasn't come to say good to her mother. Please forgive me."

The old lady smiled when she heard the words, "Oh, Lingxiao is a busy person now. There is still business outside. It's not a problem if you don't come to me, but if you don't go to the old lady's place, you can't say it."

"What my mother said is that the old lady doesn't like Ling Xiao. If I don't go, she can live for two more years. If I go every day, she may not be able to do it in a blink of an eye."

"Look at you, child, how can you say this kind of thing as a joke, hahaha..."

Both of them smiled hypocritically, and then heard Xiao Lingxiao say, "I heard that my poor second sister's appearance is ruined and she can't move. Is it true?"

The first lady stiffened and sighed, "This is all injustice..."

"I heard that cousin Huile, who brought the snow ape, also had an accident later. This is probably God's will. Both sisters have this disaster, and I don't know what they have done wrong. God wants to treat them like this, alas..."

What Xiao Lingxiao said was wrong, but her expression seemed to tell the first lady that she knew everything that the two people did behind their backs, and they deserved it.

The old lady's anger suddenly rose. She hurriedly took a sip of tea and pushed down the fire.

After a long silence, the first lady finally said the point, "This time, Huanyu and Huanxue can't go. Lingxiao, you are the eldest daughter. I think you will take Zechun and Zelu with you. Zechun and Zelu are old, and it's time to find a good girl. I, a mother, probably don't take enough care of them. Lingxiao, you are the eldest sister like a mother and have the ability. This time you go out with them and help them find a good marriage.

Xiao Lingxiao didn't expect that Xiao Huanxue would not participate. Presumably, the eldest lady was afraid that something would happen to her again, so she held it down. Xiao Zechun and Xiao Zelu's two common daughters are dispensable for the eldest lady, and they are just right at this time.

Xiao Lingxiao sneered secretly and nodded, "In this case, Lingxiao will pay attention to the two sisters."

I thought it would be over after the eldest lady explained this matter, but when Xiao Lingxiao got up and was about to leave, the eldest lady stopped her again as if she suddenly remembered something. The eldest lady nodded and asked the maid beside her to get a brocade box, gave it to Xiao Lingxiao, and said, "This is the treasure your father specially got from afar. You take it to Princess Haiyan. Remember to give it to her quietly."

Xiao Lingxiao frowned and opened the brocade box, and there was a very ordinary pebble in it.

"What is this?" Xiao Lingxiao asked.

The old lady smiled and said, "Princess Haiyan is playful and likes these strange things. I don't know what this is. Princess Haiyan is the emperor's favorite daughter. This matter was specially explained by your father. It should be very important. Ling Xiao, as the eldest daughter, you have to do it well.

Xiao Lingxiao closed the brocade box and looked up at the first lady. Seeing the cold light in her eyes, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth with a smile and nodded, "Mother, don't worry, since it's a matter explained by my father and mother, I will definitely do it properly."
