C12

Seeing Su Xue's strange appearance, Xiuying decided to pay attention to Aunt Cui. She didn't know what that package was either.

Xiuying tidied up her dress by the bushes, and only brought Ping back after the red scar on her face had faded a little.

Shen Xiuwan and the others were no longer chasing after the butterflies, and they had gained quite a lot.

Seeing Xiuying leisurely walk over, Shen Xiuwan happily showed her the net, showing off her achievements. The butterfly was only colorful, it was indeed pretty, and Xiuying touched her cousin who was only half a head shorter like a bounty. Ping watched from the side and felt that this scene was weird.

"Big Sister, let me tell you in secret that we are on equal footing because Min family doesn't want to be near us. It doesn't show her status. "

Shen Xiuwan suddenly whispered mysteriously into Xiuying's ear with her foot.

Xiuying was taken aback. She caressed her face and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's not nonsense." The little girl had a serious expression, "It was elder sister Chen who told me this. She also didn't want to get too close to elder sister Chen. Look around her, all the people around her are concubines." And … I also heard about it. "

You even heard of it?

The corner of Xiuying's eyes twitched. Was this cousin of hers just asking around? Why did she seem to know all the gossip?

Shen Xiuwan didn't know that her cousin was silently criticizing her. "The Min family's main house is about to move to the capital. Once she gets to the capital, she'll probably have to stay with the Shu girls." Sister Liao said that there are a lot of noble ladies in the capital who do not like to play with the ladies who move to their own homes. They have a very high opinion of the world. "

After which, he looked as though he had vented his anger.

Xiuying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, she knew that the capital city was filled with people with cold hearts. Even though it wasn't exactly like that, it was more or less enough.

"You can just say those words to me, but don't go around telling others that they hate you." Xiuying thought about it and decided to say a few words.

Shen Xiuwan had a look of 'I'm not an idiot' on her face. She raised her chin haughtily. "Heh, I won't tell others yet if they want to hear it. Of course, I will only tell you this, Big Sis."

Xiuying nodded with a smile. However, she knew that this cousin of hers would not be able to change her character. Since the two of them had left the pavilion, she would still gossip with her from time to time.

The people from Kangning Courtyard were also talking about Min's parents' room moving to Beijing.

Originally, the Min family had a big house outside of the Pavilion Elder's house in the capital. However, the Pavilion Elder had left for some reason, and even the mansion in the capital had been sold back to its ancestral home, the Yongping's Mansion. Two generations ago, the master of Min's parents' house was now a capital official. If he moved to the capital, it might be a sign that the Min family would rise again.

All the women present had different thoughts when they heard this, but they were all congratulating Lady Min. Some of them had even agreed on their next job, so it was their turn to invite Lady Min instead. An excuse not to see each other much later on in the past.

After all, they were all officials. If they had anything to do in the future, they could help each other and get on good terms with each other.

Eldest Madam Min agreed with a smile.

When noon was about to begin, Xiuying and the other juniors were also called back. Old Madame Shen took the opportunity to secretly call Mrs Feng over while she was changing her clothes.

The girl changed her face. She looked at the mirror and felt that it was appropriate. She then said to Mrs Feng, "Boss' daughter-in-law, don't you think we should get closer to the Min family as well?"

Mrs Feng smiled as she adjusted the hairpin for her, "Your daughter-in-law feels that there's no need to be so formal. It's not good if it's too deliberate. That way they'll remember us. "

Old Madame Shen's eyes lit up when she heard that. She pulled Mrs Feng's hand over and gently patted it. "That's the truth. You're the only one with good intentions in this mansion …"

Mrs Feng only smiled at her praises. Then, without batting an eyelid, she withdrew her hand and helped her to straighten her clothes. Old Madame Shen knew that Mrs Feng's heart wasn't that close to hers, but she didn't blame her too much. After all, that was her boss's fault, and her boss was borrowing her power today.

Thinking about Mrs Feng's family and all that, Old Madame Shen wanted to sigh. She didn't know if this was a bad fate or what it was.

Xiuying sat at the table for a while before seeing Mrs Feng helping Old Madame Shen over. She had seen a lot of people, and since it was not the right time to talk about Aunt Cui, she continued to sit there.

The juniors sat at a table, with Shen Xiuwan on Xiuying's left and the Chen Family's Second Miss on her right. Shen Xiuwan was dishonest even when she wanted to eat, and she would occasionally stick her head out and whisper to Chen Er. Xiuying was speechless when she heard this.

Shen Xiuwan finally stopped eating after the elders had moved their chopsticks.

Xiuying had only taken two bites when she heard a scream and the sound of a spoon falling to the ground. In an instant, the entire hall went silent.

For some reason, Shen Xiulian bumped into Miss Min and spilled soup on her.

Miss Min stood up with a pale face, her new dress was full of hot water, looking a little awkward. Shen Xiulian was at a loss as to what to do, and her elders had already looked over. Unexpectedly, their eyes reddened immediately.

Xiuying saw that the situation wasn't good. Lady Min's face darkened. Anyone would have thought that Shen Xiulian was the one who had been wronged.

"Sister Min, it's not that hot, right?" Xiuying walked in front of Miss Min and wiped her body with the handkerchief. Then she raised her head and glanced at the girls who were still standing there foolishly. "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and come over to help."

Mrs Feng glanced at her daughter approvingly. The people who came were guests, and they were the ones who were careless. Of course, they had to be careful. The concubine's eyes reddened at first, as if she had been wronged. She didn't know how to apologize, but if she was really raised by an aunt, she would only know how to be petty.

Mrs Feng also came forward and said with concern, "Quickly go to the side room to see if it's hot. Yaoyao, take good care of it."

Lady Min's complexion finally turned better. Lady Min blushed and glanced at Shen Xiulian before she left.

Although it was already spring, it was fortunate that the soup didn't seep into Lady Min's dress before it was time to change into a thin shirt. Lady Min's personal servant girl let out a sigh of relief after checking it carefully. She told Xiuying, who was waiting outside the screen, that everything was fine. Xiuying's heart relaxed.

The Min family might have made some moves now, and their family might even move to the capital. It would be a loss if they got a small pimples over such a small matter.

Even though Xiuying had always been in the back yard, she had once been a fourth-grade madame. Furthermore, Mrs Feng loved to teach her about government affairs, which made her more sensitive to political affairs. However, up until now, she still didn't know why her mother was so clear about the matters of the capital. As long as it was a noble's home, she could tell that her mother had never been there. She had also thought about it before. Maybe her mother never mentioned her maternal grandfather's family, so what did it have to do with the capital?

However, in the end, she didn't even have the chance to ask Mrs Feng about these matters.

Lady Min changed into a new set of clothes and came out from behind the screen. Xiuying's thoughts drifted a little, but she still shouted and recovered her wits, smiling at her embarrassedly, "Big sister Min is done, this body is even better than before, and big sister Min is so tall. She's obviously only one year older than me, and her body is also so slim and beautiful."

In order to repair the relationship, Xiuying had to pretend to be an eight-year-old kid and praised Min. Miss Min blushed slightly from her praise. At least she showed a smile, so Xiuying's heart finally settled down to her stomach.
