Chapter 38 Xiao Yun’s selfishness
When she said this, the girl's eyes became deeper and more shining. Although the words were not explained, it was just right.
The entire Yunxiu Pavilion was silent, as if you could hear a needle drop. Only Xiao Jiuniang's eyes showed joy as if she suddenly realized something.
"If mother has nothing else to do, then Liu Niang will resign!"
Seeing Princess Yunyin nodding her head without any objection, Xiao Liu Niang lowered her head, lowered her head and left slowly.
Passing around a red sandalwood framed marble screen, passing through a long corridor, and walking out of the hanging flower door, you have walked out of Fengxiu Pavilion.
The smile that always appeared on Xiao Liu Niang's face faded slightly. When she looked up, the figure of her maid Qiu Yue came into view.
"Madam, you are out now. Does the mistress have anything important to do with you?"
"Nothing, let's go!"
"Yes!" Seeing that Xiao Liu Niang obviously didn't want to say more, Qiu Yue agreed in a sensible way and followed her footsteps.
As soon as they arrived outside the Chuihua Gate, they saw Xiao Balang and Xiao Yun standing in front of him, dressed in rich clothes, looking at her with a smile that seemed to see through everything.
"Tell me? What did you say to your mother?" Xiao Yun folded his arms and looked arrogant. The boy beside him, Huai Shui, followed suit and said, "Yes, tell me quickly, my husband has something important to do." , but can’t wait too long.”
Xiao Liuniang quickly gave her a blessing and said, "Balangjun, my mother just asked me to go over and ask her opinion on today's events, nothing else!"
"Then what do you say?"
"I...I am just a boudoir girl, I dare not speak nonsense." Xiao Liu Niang lowered her head and said.
Xiao Yun laughed coldly, suddenly raised his hand, and pinched Xiao Liuniang's chin with the index finger and thumb of his right hand, forcing her to raise her head to meet his gaze.
"In half a year, you will be almost 20, right? I heard that you are unwilling to discuss marriage. Even your mother praises you as a rare wise man among the girls of the Xiao family. You know how to measure, know how to advance and retreat, and can be patient. ! Oh, even if you can bear it, I can't... I don't have much patience... Do you want to taste that again? "
I don't know if it was because Xiao Yun used too much force, but Xiao Qin was so painful that tears flashed out of her eyes, and she slowly smiled with extreme forbearance.
"Okay, I said."
Xiao Yun then let go of his hand.
"I'm just telling my mother that there is no need to go through so much trouble and trouble. All we need to do is repeat the same trick and let her be ruined like her mother." Xiao Qin replied softly.
But no matter how soft the voice was, she always felt that there was a pair of dormant eyes around her looking at her, and a gust of wind made her shiver.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yun's face showed a satisfied and sinister smile.
"Let's go! Speaking of which, you have a beautiful figure and a beautiful face, but compared to the niece I have only met once, you are still far behind. When will you think about it, I will find you a wishful man. How are you?"
After saying that, Xiao Yun laughed loudly and walked away, leaving Xiao Liu Niang standing there with tears streaming down her face.
"I don't want to, I don't want this..." She suddenly hugged herself and squatted down, murmuring to herself.
"Madam, madam...what's wrong with you?" the maid urged anxiously.
Neither of them noticed that a thin figure was leaving quietly behind a rockery not far from the Chuihua Gate.
…
"Brother, what are you talking about? Have you never seen a woman? Is she your niece?" In a slightly secluded place among trees and rocks, Xiao Jiuniang's eyes widened and she looked at Xiao Yun in disbelief.
As soon as she shouted, Xiao Yun immediately covered her mouth.
"Don't be so loud, be careful not to be heard!" He whispered in her ear. Xiao Jiuniang nodded and signaled Xiao Yun to take his hand away quickly.
Xiao Yun let go after making sure she wouldn't shout again.
"Brother, mother will arrange this. Just find a servant. Why do you need to do it yourself? If something happens to you, how can I explain to mother? Then mother may blame me again!" Xiao Jiuniang said angrily and annoyed.
Xiao Yun said disapprovingly: "How could mother blame you? This matter has nothing to do with you at all. Can't you just pretend that you don't know about it? Besides, your brother and I have a plan in mind, and I will definitely handle this matter." My mother is very satisfied. By then, whether that girl lives or dies, it will have nothing to do with my Xiao family."
"But brother, I always feel that things will not go so smoothly. My mother sent a dead soldier to kill her that day, but as a result, not only did the wretched maid not die, she came back and gave us a heavy blow, which made you and I even more miserable. After being humiliated and suffered so much on Jingyang Street today, you...how do you dare to provoke her? Besides, that girl is just a bit pretty, so how can she make you so distraught? "
The more Xiao Jiuniang talked, the angrier she became. Firstly, she was angry that her brother didn't have a long memory, and secondly, she was so lustful that she even wanted to get involved with her niece.
But then again, the gentlemen in the south do have a keen pursuit of beautiful things, and they even write poems without leaving the word beauty. The most famous palace style poem by Emperor Xiao Gang of Jianwen is In this way, all the dignitaries in Jiankang City are now imitating it, and it has become a common practice in the long run.
"A bit pretty? Sister, you don't understand. That girl is more than a little pretty. You have to know who her father is. My vision is not wrong. That day when she came to our house, I just took a quick glance and knew her. Beautiful appearance."
With such stunning beauty, how could it be easier for others to go!
"Oh, okay, okay! It's up to you! I'll just pretend I don't know anything."
After saying that, Xiao Jiuniang raised her legs and was about to run away, but she was grabbed by Xiao Yun again.
"Wait, you can pretend you don't know anything, but I still need a favor from you, sister."
"What can I help you with? How can I help you?" Xiao Jiuniang frowned, a little unhappy. Wasn't it none of her business? Why do you need her help again?
"Go and ask Xiao Shiniang to ask that girl out and make an appointment to meet her at the Xinghua Yanyu Building." Xiao Yun said.
"Why is Shiniang's sick young man involved again?" Xiao Jiuniang was puzzled.
Xiao Yun then said: "If I make the appointment, she will definitely not come out, but she has treated Shiniang once. She is kind to Shiniang, and it is only natural that a benefactor repays kindness. Besides, Shiniang is also a relative to her. She is definitely willing to believe her words and also willing to meet her. "
…
If it weren't for Xiao Yun's request, Xiao Jiuniang would never have stepped into the Lingqing Pavilion of Xiao Ruoling, the tenth mother in her life. The smell of medicine and the dead air in the room had made her unlucky.
"Where is Shi Niang?" After being admitted to the hospital, after looking around and finding no sign of Shi Niang, Xiao Jiuniang caught a maid in the hospital and asked.
The maidservant was so frightened that she trembled all over and pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer. But at this moment, a thin aqua figure was walking slowly outside the door of the small courtyard.
"I'm here, what does Jiuniang want from me?"
The person who came was none other than Shiniang Xiao Ruoling.
"You damn girl, where did you just die?" Xiao Jiuniang asked angrily.
"The doctor who came to my home last time told me to get more sun outside, so I went to get some sun just now."
When the doctor was mentioned, Xiao Jiuniang's eyes lit up, and she suddenly lowered her voice and said softly: "Shi Niang, your illness is almost cured now, right? Are you grateful to that doctor?"
"Of course there is. A drop of water should be repaid by a spring. I still understand this truth." Xiao Ruoling said calmly, turning his eyes faintly and looking at Xiao Jiuniang.
"Since you said every drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring, how about you go and give her a thank you gift tomorrow?" Seeing that Xiao Ruoling didn't seem to have any objection, she continued, "By the way, invite her to Xinghua again." When Yan Yulou met her, she said that it was our Xiao family who had treated her no longer, firstly to apologize, and secondly to repay the favor. "
"Okay." Xiao Ruoling replied with a smile, but there was a hint of disgust and disdain in this smile that Xiao Jiuniang couldn't detect.
