Chapter 228 Sleepy

Mrs. Zhen Guohou smiled: "I really haven't heard of a girl from an official family who is willing to stay in someone's house to serve her, and she is not sent to be a maid. Besides, there is no shortage of maids in Xiao's residence. Master Xia said so, Wouldn't it be accusing Mr. Xiao of being stingy, that the mansion couldn't even afford a maid, and even left Mrs. Xia's daughter to serve the third maid, wouldn't it make him ashamed to spread the word?"

And let's forget that Miss Xia said it herself. The girl didn't say a word, but stood aside with her head down. Master Xia only took a look when she entered the door, and didn't pay attention to this daughter any more.

Seeing that repaying favor is false, it is true to stay and let her daughter have a long-term relationship with Xiao Xilin!

Mrs. Zhen Guohou had never seen someone so brazen before, but she had never seen Mrs. Xia be so straightforward. She simply pushed her daughter out and begged others to keep her as a maid.

Serving Gu Yunxiao is at best an aunt. Although she is not a direct descendant, it is more than enough for a young official to be a regular wife. Didn't this man push his daughter into the fire pit?
Probably because he heard that Gu Yunxiao was pregnant, and Xiao Xilin didn't have a housemaid to serve her, so she simply sent her daughter here. Now that she has an excuse to stay in Xiao's mansion, she won't take her home no matter what.

It's fine if Xiao Xilin accepts this girl, but if she doesn't accept it, and Miss Xia lives in Xiao's residence for a period of time, her reputation will be completely ruined if she is a good girl.

Master Xia is putting all his eggs in one basket, planning to gamble a lot.You bet right, the Xia family has one more in-law to rely on.If he lost the bet, the Xia family only lost a concubine's daughter, so there was no loss.

But if he wins the bet, and the eldest daughter is backed by Mrs. Xiao, the younger daughter might be able to become the second prince.

Who doesn't know that the celebrity in front of the emperor is Xiao Taifu?
I'm afraid the emperor would be happy to be brother-in-law with Taifu.

Gu Yunxiao's face was a bit cold. Mrs. Zhen Guohou was just watching a show, but now she didn't expect Master Xia to be so thick-skinned that she insisted on keeping her daughter. Just as she was about to refuse, the people around her suddenly said: "Alright, just Let Miss Xia stay, I'm bored now, and I just need someone to talk with me and relieve my boredom."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xia was overjoyed: "Madam Xiao is so kind, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and kowtow to Madam."

Miss Xia was pushed hard by her father, staggered and almost fell, she was about to kneel obediently with a numb face, when Gu Yunxiao slightly raised her hand, Qiu Hong quickly supported her firmly, and by the way, put Xia's family on the side The maid was squeezed away.

"You don't need to do such a grand ceremony. Besides, Miss Xia is still injured and weak. It's better to go back to the guest room to rest." happily left.

When the people left, the screen was withdrawn, and Miss Xia was also supported by Qiu Hong to go back to the wing.As for the servant girl of the Xia family, she was sent away by Qiu Lu long ago, and went back to the mansion with Mrs. Xia.

Lord Xia didn't care either, anyway, the eldest daughter was obedient and would never disobey her own wishes, and she didn't care much if anyone around her was staring at her.

Knowing that Xiao's residence is heavily guarded, the Taifu has his own soldiers, obviously he doesn't like outsiders, so he took the maid away without any hassle.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou was puzzled, and frowned: "What are you keeping that girl for? You can't think the same as Xia. You want to find a servant for Lin'er? How many girls did I find for Lin'er back then? I didn't like it, and now it's even more impossible to like a girl from the Xia family."

Gu Yunxiao sighed softly: "If she just goes back to Xia's house like this, she may be forced to die one day. It's better to keep her, it can be regarded as accumulating blessings for the child."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhen Guohou also agreed, and said regretfully: "What a girl, she's not much older than you. Look at her face, she's just like an old lady in her [-]s and [-]s."

Numb and desperate, as if he thought he was a puppet and had already given up fighting.He must have had a bad time in the Xia family, otherwise how could he have been assigned by his family to hang himself at the gate of Zhen Guohou's mansion, and after being rescued, he would be given to the Xiao family by his own father as a gift?

"But keeping her is always a disaster."

A big girl with a yellow flower stays in Xiao's mansion, if Xiao Xilin doesn't take her in, it really doesn't make sense, wouldn't she just take advantage of the girl for nothing?
Besides, Mrs. Zhen Guohou didn't believe that the Xia family threw people to the Xiao family, so she didn't do anything.Maybe they are talking nonsense outside, arousing people's daydreams, and spreading rumors about Miss Xia staying in Xiao's house.

When the time comes, if Miss Xia is not accepted by the Taifu, she can only go to the nunnery to accompany the green lanterns, or kill herself directly to show her innocence.

Either way, it was not what Madam Zhen Guohou wanted to see.Moreover, the Xiao Mansion was in a state of joy, how could it be stained with blood, cause death, or be pointed at by others?

"Auntie, instead of letting Miss Xia go home and be ruined, maybe turn around and be given to some high-ranking person, it's better to wait for her to heal her wounds, and let's marry her off to see a good family." She said kiss herself, Mrs. Xia Dare to stop and say no?

Just now Gu Yunxiao agreed, but he didn't agree to let Miss Xia be her maidservant, or Xiao Xilin's concubine.Since it was given to the Xiao Mansion, she was the one to make the decision, and the father couldn't intervene.

Didn't she send people here because she asked Miss Xia to repay her life-saving grace?

Then how Gu Yunxiao arranges people is her business, how can the Xia family go back on their word?

Madam Zhen Guohou looked surprised, and said with a smile: "If Master Xia knows, I'm afraid I will be very depressed."

It's a good bargaining chip, originally planned to be sent to Xiao's mansion to climb up to Xiao Xilin.Who knew that she would be married off by Gu Yunxiao after the change of hand, Master Xia put aside her words before, because she let Gu Yunxiao decide whether the eldest daughter would stay or not.

Now that the eldest daughter is getting married, naturally it has nothing to do with him.

"This plan is very clever, I don't know if that Miss Xia will nod." Mrs. Zhen Guohou couldn't help worrying that Gu Yunxiao's kind intentions might not agree with Xia's parents.

Since she was a child, she didn't have a good life in the Xia Mansion, and she obeyed her parents' orders, fearing that she wouldn't be able to resist.

If so, Gu Yunxiao's good intentions are probably like a stone thrown into the sea, not to mention the echo, there is not even a splash, I don't know how disappointed I should be.

Sometimes they are full of good intentions, but the other party does not know what is good or bad, cowardly and hesitant, making people hate iron for being weak, but there is nothing they can do about it.

After all, Xia's parents don't want their family members, and they can't force them. They can't put a knife on this girl's neck and force her to marry. How is that different from forcing her into prostitution?
Gu Yunxiao was not worried, holding the hand stove, and said with a slight smile: "When the maid beside her left just now, Miss Xia turned her head, her eyes are not the same as the stagnant pool before."

If it was a pool of stagnant water before, it would have been a scorching flame just now, as if it would swallow people up in the next moment.

"Really?" Mrs. Zhen Guohou smiled, and sighed: "I'm not numb yet, I've accepted my fate, this girl can still be saved."

I'm afraid that I have already accepted my fate, and I don't believe that there is a chance to change, and I just blame myself and go on like this all the way.

"That is to say, dear, I don't know if that girl has a sweetheart. If there is, we don't have to worry about it."

Gu Yunxiao nodded and said: "I have already asked Qiuhong to take a test. This girl has always been good at this matter. I don't have to worry about not being able to pry Miss Xia's mouth."

It was a matter of life, so she naturally wanted someone to ask Ms. Xia about it.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou said with a smile: "Thinking of Master Xia's surprised and disappointed expression, I can't wait."

When Xiao Xilin came back from the palace and heard about the Xia family, she surrounded Gu Yunxiao and said with a smile: "It's fine for Madam to be the master, I will listen to you as a husband."

Gu Yunxiao raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will find you a cute and beautiful concubine, so that your husband will not be very lonely in the past few months?"

Xiao Xilin's eyes sank slightly, she leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth, looked at Gu Yun's blushing cheeks, and said with a smile: "Next year, I will double ask my wife to get it back. It's only ten months, I can afford to wait for my husband."

Originally, he was teasing him, but in the end he was being teased instead.

Gu Yunxiao glared at him coquettishly, then sighed: "How can there be such a cruel father in this world, I don't deny it, looking at Miss Xia is like looking at myself before, I can't help meddling in my own business. "

"It doesn't matter, as long as Madam is happy. Other things, I can settle for my husband, just do as I like." Xiao Xilin tucked the quilt for her, and said softly: "There is still some time before lunch, Madam sleeps for a while ?”

She also felt a little tired. Although her body was not in serious condition, she was still a little lazy and lethargic.

Gu Yunxiao only thought that it might be because she was pregnant, so she didn't take it to heart, but felt a little sorry that she couldn't spend more time with Xiao Xilin, but she always fell asleep.

Patting her arm, Xiao Xilin's big palm covered Gu Yunxiao's eyes, blocking all the light.

But after a while, he let go of his hand, and Gu Yunxiao had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The smile on the corner of Xiao Xilin's mouth gradually faded, and she was vaguely worried.Gu Yunxiao's life was snatched back, but the remaining 20 years of life would also affect her.

The time of lethargy every day is not short, and the mental head is not particularly good.Occasionally, I start to doze off while talking, and I feel a little tired all over.

Thinking of the girl from the Xia family that Gu Yunxiao missed, Xiao Xilin knew that it was rare for his wife to soften her heart, because the situation of the eldest daughter of the Xia family was not as good as hers.

He closed the door, and saw Qiu Hong standing at the bottom respectfully waiting: "Xia family, is the servant of the Ministry of Rites?"

"My son, yes. The Xia family has four daughters. Apart from the eldest daughter, Miss Xia, Mrs. Xia has three legitimate daughters. The youngest daughter is only ten years old, and the other two are planning to participate in the general election. It's just that the Xia family bribed her." Painter, changed the portraits of the third daughter, Madam Zhen Guohou disqualified Miss Xia, and now only the second daughter of the Xia family is left."
