Chapter 293 The Second Young Master of the Liao Family
Every time Mrs. Liao defends her second cousin, she may feel sorry for her granddaughter's parents who are not around.
There is another reason. The second cousin is in the process of getting married. If there are rumors that she snatched her cousin's jewelry and clothes at this time, it will be detrimental to her reputation.
Therefore, Mrs. Liao would rather let her granddaughter suffer a little injustice than ruin her second cousin's life.
After all, she is her granddaughter.
Since she could only protect one of her granddaughters and granddaughters, she chose her second cousin.
Xia Zihan sighed and hugged Liao Fangyi to comfort her, "Isn't it just a big cloak? I happened to have two that were too small last year. I'll ask Nuanyu to change it to a smaller size tomorrow and send it to you."
In Yi'an City, Liao Fangyi had many clothes and jewelry that were too small for Xia Zihan. It can be said that all of Liao Fangyi's good clothes and valuable jewelry were given by Xia Zihan.
And Liao Fangyi also particularly likes to wear Xia Zihan's clothes, because Xia Zihan's clothes are unique in style and pattern even for Yushage.
Liao Fangyi hugged her arm and rubbed it, then choked and said, "You are the best to me. My mother always sides with my grandmother and favors my second cousin."
"If your mother is on your side, then she should be in trouble." Xia Zihan nodded her nose and said angrily.
"You, stay away from her from now on. If she wants to ask you out, she will just pretend to have a stomachache and a headache. Aren't you very capable and well-versed? Why can't you act like her?"
"Hmph, you think I haven't pretended." Liao Fangyi said angrily, "Once I pretended to have a stomachache, she hurriedly told her grandmother, who then called a doctor. At that time, she almost scared me to death."
If grandma knew what she was pretending to do, she wouldn't know how to scold her.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "Didn't you let the doctor expose it?"
"That's true."
"You, those doctors are all crazy. Even if you are not sick, they won't tell you clearly. So, don't be afraid next time. If she wants to ask the doctor, just go. If she pesters you, just say you I want to have some quiet time and tell her to get out.”
"If your grandmother wants to reprimand you, then just say it bluntly. You are afraid that you will make your second cousin cry. Doesn't she like to cry every time she sees you? Then you can take advantage of this and conquer her."
In fact, there are two best ways. One is to fight back. The second cousin who fights back every time will lose a lot of money when she steals the chicken, exposing her viciously to others and letting her suffer the consequences.
It's a pity that Liao Fangyi has a straightforward temper and no scheming, so she will definitely not be able to defeat her second cousin.
That leaves only the next option.
That is to ignore it.
No matter what the second cousin did or said, she ignored her.
Even if the sky falls, she won't care.
As long as you ignore her, the second cousin will not be able to act alone. If she does it too often, she will naturally find it boring.
"Girl, the second cousin is here."
Talking about Cao Hui, Cao Hui arrived.
Liao Fangyi snorted and said to the little maid, "I am whispering to Sister Chu Yu. It is not good if there are outsiders here. Let her go back."
The little maid looked at Xia Zihan with a troubled expression.
Xia Zihan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"Cousin."
A soft voice came from the door, and it seemed to be a little choked, as if it had been wronged in every way.
Liao Fangyi rolled her eyes and winked at Xia Zihan, which meant, 'Look, it's here again. ’
A slender figure walked in slowly, said to Xia Zihan, "Greetings to the Lord of Chuyu County."
Xia Zihan did not give in and accepted her full courtesy.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Zhu Qingtong's eyes, but she said with a smile, "I heard from my servants that a noble person came to the house. I rushed to the hall to meet him, but I was a step late."
Then he glanced at Liao Fangyi with an irritated look, "My cousin is so overbearing. She actually occupies a noble person to talk here by herself."
The meaning behind the words was to blame Liao Fangyi for not allowing her to see Xia Zihan.
Liao Fangyi snorted and pulled a long face, "Sister Chu Yu and I haven't seen each other for a long time. When we meet, of course we have to talk in private. How can we keep talking in private when there are so many outsiders around?"
I deliberately emphasized the word ‘outsider’ very hard.
Zhu Qingtong's pretty face turned pale, and a layer of white mist filled her eyes, "Cousin, we are cousins, how can we be outsiders?"
"I didn't say you were an outsider, but..." This time, Liao Fangyi learned the lesson and did not immediately acknowledge Zhu Qingtong's words. She paused before continuing, "What Sister Chu Yu and I said were all inconveniences. What outsiders know is that you are a cousin, but to Sister Chu Yu, you are a stranger.”
Fortunately, this kid is not stupid, and he still knows how to use Xia Zihan's flag as a raft.
Zhu Qingtong turned to Xia Zihan with an aggrieved look.
That expression looked as if Xia Zihan had robbed her husband.
Xia Zihan smiled at her and said, "I had never seen you before you came in."
It means that she is not familiar with her.
At this time, Zhu Qingtong couldn't help but shed tears. The pear blossoms were filled with rain, so beautiful and touching. It's a pity that the people in the room are all women, and no woman will show mercy to another woman.
Zhu Qingtong's play was in vain.
What Xia Zihan hates the most is the type of people who cry easily.
Her face darkened and she said politely, "Miss Zhu, I have something else to talk to Sister Fang. Please make it easier."
The words were polite, but they were an eviction order.
"It's all Qingtong's fault for disturbing the noble lady. Qingtong will go down now." Zhu Qingtong wiped away her tears, then covered her face and left with a sob.
"Bah, artificial."
Liao Fangyi spat out the door and cursed with an unhappy look on her face.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "She is indeed a difficult character to deal with." Then she looked at Liao Fangyi sympathetically, "Next time, if she cries again, you should be one step ahead and cry louder and more aggrieved than her."
To deal with such a shameless person, you have to be thicker and more shameless than her to have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Liao Fangyi talked about almost all the houses Mrs. Liao showed to Zhu Qingtong, "Grandma looked at three houses in total. They were all from a well-to-do family and a scholarly family whose father was an official in the court. But every time grandma asked her second cousin if she would like it, the second cousin They all looked shy, their eyes were misty, and they just didn’t nod.”
"A few days ago, I overheard the little girl who came to deliver food from the kitchen saying that my second cousin often went to the big kitchen to make snacks for my second cousin to eat."
Speaking of this, Liao Fangyi had an angry look on her face and her cheeks were bulging, "Humph, with her crying little look, she still misses my second cousin. It would be strange if my eldest aunt didn't scold her to death."
< br>
Liao Fangyi's second cousin Liao Jingtang is a well-known talent in the capital. He is also the most handsome, mild-tempered and most knowledgeable boy of the Liao family's generation.
Liao Jingtang, who is only seventeen years old, has already won the imperial examination in the fall of this year. He is the youngest person in the Liao family in many years.
Mrs. Liao liked Liao Jingtang very much and regarded Liao Jingtang as a treasure. The old man from her hometown also taught Liao Jingtang like a treasure in his palm. He not only taught him knowledge, but also taught him how to behave.
It can be said that Liao Jingtang is the most promising person among the younger generation of the Liao family.
Zhu Qingtong took a fancy to him, so she was discerning.
Just when Liao Fangyi mentioned Liao Jingtang, the maid hurriedly came to report, "Girl, the second young master came to see you. At the gate of the yard, he happened to meet the second cousin girl who was going out. The second cousin girl blocked the second young master's way and was crying hard. It’s hard for the second young master to leave after seeing him..."
The maid's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and at the end she took a few steps back, opening a safe zone between herself and Xia Zihan.
"That road doesn't belong to her, why should she stop my second cousin from visiting me." Liao Fangyi got angry and kicked a wooden chair next to her.
With a bang, the wooden chair fell over, and there was a loud noise. The little maid turned pale in fright, and secretly took a few steps back.
Liao Fangyi hummed and glared at the little maid, "Why don't you help her up."
"Yes, girl."
The little maid hurriedly held up the chair, but she was so upset that she wanted to hit the wall. If she had known that the girl would be in a bad mood, she would not rush to do this errand.
Woohoo, miscalculation.
The little girl held up the chair and sneaked out.
Liao Jingtang would visit Liao Fangyi every three or two days, and every time he would bring some unique and interesting things for her to play with.
Liao Fangyi likes her second cousin very much and will talk to her if she has anything to say, and he will listen patiently to her every time. When she is happy, he will be happy too, and when she sheds tears, he will also feel uncomfortable. , comfort her with a few words.
Counting the time, it was almost time for her second cousin to visit her today.
Liao Fangyi grabbed Xia Zihan and said, "Sister Chu Yu, let's go out and take a look."
She couldn't let her second cousin suffer from Zhu Qingtong.
That white lotus had many dark tricks, and she suffered a lot in her hands.
Liao Fangyi and Xia Zihan heard the sounds there before they reached the entrance of the courtyard.
"Second cousin, I don't blame my cousin, really, I...I..." Then tears fell.
Liao Jingtang frowned, his face looking very ugly.
In the Liao family, not only Liao Fangyi disliked Zhu Qingtong, but Liao Jingtang also disliked her.
How could someone as smart as Liao Jingtang not see what Zhu Qingtong had in mind, but she was afraid that she would be disappointed in all this.
What he hates most in his life is the kind of delicate woman who cries and sheds tears all the time, and then looks like she has no idea, and only knows how to act coquettishly and cry.
The so-called marrying a virtuous wife means marrying a virtuous wife and a loving mother will lead to three generations of descendants.
If you marry a bad wife and a bad mother, you will cheat three generations of descendants.
Whether the descendants will be successful and whether the family will become stronger depends mainly on the kind of wives they marry.
And every time Zhu Qingtong saw him, she had a tearless face, as if her husband had just died. How could a woman like that be the head of the family if she married him in the future?
Liao Jingtang pointed at Zhu Qingtong with a cold face and said, "Sorry, second cousin, you blocked my way."
"Second cousin, you...you really don't blame me?"
