The young ladies exchanged pleasantries with me, and promised to write letters of farewell in twos and threes. After a long time, they prepared to leave.

Naturally, I had to lead the way.

When you entered the grandmother's courtyard, you could hear the sounds of the women talking and laughing in her spacious hall, which was more lively than the ladies' reserved attitudes.

Hong Chang was standing at the entrance, and when she saw us coming over, she smiled and called out the curtains of the door.

After welcoming all the young misses in, I followed Second Miss Xu who was the last to enter.

All the ladies came to their mother and asked their daughter in whispers.

The ancestor of the Xu family, who was sitting side by side with his grandmother in black, cast me a glance, but it was aimed straight at me like a sharp sword.

Don't worry about it. Knock on the door in the middle of the night!

If it wasn't for the words and actions of the Third Miss, how could I have sent her back?

We are all guests. Do you think I should offend another guest for such a small matter?

I straightened my body and slightly lowered my head, revealing a calm and collected expression.

More importantly, Grandmother did not seem to care much about the Xu family. In fact, she even seemed to be a little distant from them. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to cover someone's butt with my hot face! What's more, Miss Xue San is my cousin in name. If I don't help her, Mother would inevitably think that I don't value Little Lu in order to curry favor with Grandmother!

If that was the case, it would be like stealing a chicken until it failed!

It wasn't just Lady Xu who was looking at me, it was also Grandma. Although she didn't have a smile on her face, her eyes were shining brightly.

I couldn't help but smile.

It seemed that she had taken advantage of the situation and had gotten the right idea from her grandmother.

She's the granddaughter of someone else after all. Even if Lady Xu was angry, she wouldn't be able to do anything to me.

Lady Xu looked at Second Miss Xu, who was standing by my side, and her gaze turned even more stern and resentful.

Was it because she didn't try to stop him?

Unexpectedly, Second Miss Xu didn't seem to notice my grandmother's strangeness at all. She pulled my hand and asked affectionately, "Sister, on the 15th of this month, are you alright? If not, why don't you come to my house to play?"

You clearly heard us say that the Jiang family was holding a feast on the 15th, and you even asked me if I was alright!

This plan of yours is too excessive!

I'm not so blind as to run over to your house and have a meal!

I politely withdrew my hand and smiled. "Thank you elder sister for your good intentions, but I've already agreed to your request!"

There was a look of regret on Second Miss Xu's face as she retracted her hand and gently stroked her sleeve with a gentle smile. "Then it really is unfortunate!" No more talking about banquets.

I smiled at Second Miss Xu and turned to leave.

A pure white hand reached out to grab my arm. The smile on Second Miss Xu's face didn't change as she said in a low voice: "Since little sister saw that I was in a difficult situation, why don't you stand here and help me?"

I couldn't help feeling angry!

I saw through it, but this is a matter of your Xu family, what does it have to do with me?

Under the naked gaze of Madam Xu, it seemed as if she was burdened with a burden. I had no reason to take the blame on her for nothing!

I laughed in a distant manner, but I also lowered my voice. Foolish sister really did not see that elder sister had any difficulties! "

Second Miss Xu gave a faint smile and released her hand. Her voice was as cold as jade as she said, "Could it be that I was wrong about my little sister?"

Are you sure you can see right?

Thinking about it for a moment, I couldn't help but smile coyly.

This Second Miss Xu was really a carefree person!

She agilely caught my thoughts. With every question she asked, I couldn't leave. What difference was there between this and staying here to cover for her?

"Elder sister is truly a rare and wonderful person!"

This is my heartfelt truth!

His thoughts, means, looks, family background, this Second Miss Xu was not bad at all, he would definitely have great fortune in the future!

Before she could say anything else, I curtsied and walked away.

Second Miss Xu could only smile as she replied with a straight bow, as if she did not take it to heart.

As soon as I got rid of Second Miss Xu, Mrs. Xue waved at me again. "Yuan'er! Come! "Come to me!"

My head hurt, and I turned to see my mother smiling and talking to some of the Xu wives.

He braced himself and walked to where Mrs. Xue was. Only Miss Xue was sitting on the stool next to her, holding an apple and chewing on it.

"What about the First Lady and the First Miss?" I had to sit down with Mrs. Three at her invitation.

Third Wife raised an eyebrow and said half-heartedly, "Eldest Nephew's daughter is feeling a bit uncomfortable. Eldest Sister-in-Law will go back with her first!"

It was true that he was not feeling well, but it was hard to say whether it was his body or his heart!

I smiled and didn't expose her as I continued, "The Eldest Miss doesn't look too good. It's better for her to rest up!"

Third Wife's face suddenly showed some hostility. She clenched her handkerchief and said, "Who knows! It would be embarrassing if he brought it out! "But our old lady …"

After saying that, the third wife abruptly stopped talking and changed the topic with a smile. She shook my hand and said, "I heard about it from your sister. But, it was all thanks to you!"

I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Although I really like Ning Lin's cleverness, lively and sensible, but to say that it was just for her sake, it couldn't really be said to be.

I just figured out my grandmother's intentions and wanted to sell her feelings to the Xue Clan!

"Look at what Aunt said. Lin'er is my cousin, how can I watch her suffer!" He was thinking about the same thing. The words he wanted to say were beautiful.

Third Wife's smile grew wider and wider. Embracing Lin'er, she said, "Quickly go and bow to your cousin and thank her for helping you!"

Although the third wife had a lot of scheming in mind and even had a few mischievous thoughts, she raised her daughter's character and character, and was kind-hearted.

Speaking of which, although Miss Xue was intelligent and shrewd, she had sincerely planned it for the family and had taught it to her sisters!

I couldn't help but laugh, didn't the Xue family teach me according to my ability?

In comparison, the Xu family's second young miss was definitely not inferior to the Eldest Miss Xue. However, she was narrow-minded and could not accommodate her sisters. One had to know that the clan's most important point was that it was impossible to defeat a single person. In the end, it was difficult for two young misses to withstand four punches, so it was hard to avoid losing to Eldest Miss Xue!

"Aunt is being too polite like this!" Without waiting for Fifth Miss to kneel down, I immediately stretched out my hand to fish her up. With a wave of my hand, I hugged her to my knees.

Fifth Miss didn't struggle at all as she giggled and hugged my neck.

When the third wife saw this, her smile became even wider. She pointed at her daughter and said, "She might be young, but her hands are too heavy. Your legs will go numb soon!"

I smiled and straightened the Fifth Miss's clothes. "Don't worry about it!"

When my mother came over and saw me sitting next to the third wife with the Fifth Miss in my arms, she gave a little start and then laughed.

"You didn't come to help me, and instead came here to gossip!"

Although it was a reprimand, the tone was very different from usual.

I can see that my mother is very much in favor of my being close to Little Lu.

That strange thought popped into his mind once more.

According to the wet nurse and Grandmother, Master Xue San had been engaged to his mother before, but now he was married to Little Lu. With his mother's personality, it was already considered good if she didn't come knocking. How could she be as close to Little Lu as a sister? Furthermore, Lu Sheng was from a side branch of the Lu Family. His mother was the young lady of the eldest concubine, so how could she possibly be bothered to interact with such a relative?

Now that I think about it, the third son of the Xue family is a carefree person who runs a horse, walks a bird, teases a dog, and raises a chicken. He's a rich young master who doesn't live in a house all day long, and lives like a dog or a horse.

Could it be that his mother's marriage annulment had some sort of secret?

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but be discouraged. I had already spent a lot of effort to scout around, but all that came to my ears were few and far between. It alarmed the inner chamber, causing my grandmother to personally beat me up.

I know what Grandmother means.

She was trying to tell me that some of the pretexts seemed ridiculous, but I was neither able to uncover them nor bear the consequences.

But then, when will I be able to avenge my child, whom I have never met?

Looking at my mother's young face, I dream at midnight. Occasionally, I would return to that bright and beautiful day. She pointed at me who was lying on the floor and said with an ice-cold tone, "Drink that bowl of medicine for her!"

Sometimes I wonder if I want to continue the hatred of my past life.

Especially when he knew that his mother was also a poor person.

However, he did not turn around to shoot!

I smiled as I got up and said, "Isn't it because I saw that you were busy and did not dare to rush forward to disturb you?"

The corner of her mother's mouth curled up, but she still seemed somewhat stern.

Following his mother, he sent the various wives out. It was already late in the night, and the wives had already lit big red lanterns and hung them under the eaves.

Under a bright, warm red light, the yellow tassels swayed in the evening breeze.

The tall figure of Miss Wen cast a long shadow under the lamp. Her beautiful silhouette appeared gentle and gentle.

"I'll write to you when I get home!" Miss Wen took my hand and stood on the two steps. Her clear eyes reflected the red lantern light even more brightly.

I smiled and nodded. "Alright!"

Miss Wen had a bashful smile on her face as she held my hand and said in a low voice, "You must come and send me off at that time!"

I smiled. It should be when she left the pavilion, right?

"When did sister say?" I tilted my head and looked at her.

Since he didn't try to control his expression, there would inevitably be a mischievous smile on his face.

"You … "Really!" Miss Wen smiled and gently pinched my arm.

"Aiya! "Aiya!" I covered my arms as I quietly cried out. I pulled on her sleeve and said, "It hurts!"

Miss Wen and I covered our sleeves and laughed.

"Nian Qiu, we should go!"

Madam Wen and her mother stood side by side in front of the Wen family's carriage. Madam Wen looked at her daughter with a smile. Even though her mother was also smiling under the big red lantern, her smile was cold and distant.

My heart hurt a little.

Those eyes that were as warm as the spring wind and as warm as the sun, probably only a mother would have them!
