Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 130
Xie Churou has long known that there are no permanent allies, nor permanent enemies.

Hearing what Zixi brought back, she didn't have much surprise on her face.

It had been expected a long time ago that Xie Ruitong was not willing to take her there, so she would definitely go to find Xie Yanniang.

It can get rid of Xie Churou and make her feel uncomfortable, so why not do it for Xie Ruitong?
Xie Churou snorted coldly, thinking that this would make her quit?
Just dreaming!
"How did Qiuniang get back to Eldest Sister?"

Zixi replied in a soft voice: "The third girl said that she is thin and not suitable for traveling far."

"It seems like something she would say," Xie Churou knew that Xie Yanniang was smart.

Even if she wanted to go, if she agreed without hesitation, maybe Xie Ruitong would regret it.

And when the words reached her ears, Xie Yanniang was no longer a human being.

No matter where the grass on the wall is, it is disgusting.

At that time, not only Xie Ruitong, but also Xie Churou will not want to see her anymore.

Xie Yanniang didn't have much foundation in the mansion, let alone a helper, she was struggling, so naturally she wouldn't be so stupid as to offend the two elder sisters in the mansion all at once.

Xie Churou lowered her eyes, and asked again: "Have you delivered all the ointment for Auntie?"

"Yes, the servant delivered it in person, and my aunt has already picked it up." What Zi Xi didn't say was that Aunt Zhang had lost a lot of weight, and the scar on the back of her hand might not be able to disappear.Moreover, there were a few more nuns outside the yard, all of whom were unfamiliar faces, she couldn't help frowning.

It's just that Aunt Zhang repeatedly told her not to tell Xie Churou, lest she get worried and had to swallow the words as they came to her lips.

Xie Churou nodded. It's good that she has hurt Aunt Zhang, and the medicine was sent to ease the relationship with Aunt Zhang.

Her greatest reliance in the mansion is Aunt Zhang.

But Xie Churou only felt her eyelids twitch, and she always had some bad premonition: "How long has it been since Daddy went to see Gu Lanyuan?"

Zixi lowered her head, and replied in a low voice: "Since my aunt hurt her hand, the master has only been there once and never stayed overnight."

Xie Churou's face changed slightly, could it be that Aunt Zhang fell out of favor because of the scar on the back of her hand?

If so, she is really at a loss this time!
The hands in the sleeves clenched into fists, Xie Churou's face was particularly ugly: "Auntie...how are you?"

Zixi didn't dare to answer, she just lowered her head and remained silent.

Most of the people in the house are villains who step on the low and praise the high. In the past, Aunt Zhang was favored, and everyone tried their best to curry favor.

Now that Aunt Zhang has fallen out of favor, there are so many servants who are neglectful and lazy, and they will inevitably intensify after a while.

After thinking about it, Xie Churou also understood that Aunt Zhang, who had fallen out of favor, might have a worse life in the future.

She bit her nails, thought and thought, and finally sighed: "When I marry into a wealthy family, and my father loves the house, I have to treat my aunt better. That villain who picks up the wind and turns the rudder, it's not too late to teach him a lesson. "

Zi Xi secretly sighed, it will take at least a year or two for Xie Churou to get married, can Aunt Zhang wait that long?

Since Xie Ruitong left, Xie Yanniang's complexion was not very good.

Xue Ling helped her to the soft couch, and persuaded softly: "Miss, don't worry, you can't make things difficult for yourself."

Xie Yanniang sighed softly, trapped in the mansion, everything can't be done by her.

This feeling made me feel as if I was holding my breath, I couldn't get up and down, and it made me feel uncomfortable.

She tossed and turned, she couldn't just be led by the nose like this.

Xie Yanniang had a few doubts in her heart. First of all, why did Master Yuan suddenly propose to marry Xie Ruitong?
Secondly, Mrs. Yun's repeated invitations, did Long Zhiyu instigate it behind her back?

Furthermore, how can we disrupt the current situation?
Xie Ruitong would take him to the hot spring village, but he just wanted to make Xie Churou feel uncomfortable, how could he be sincere?
And he had to bring her with him, in order to please Mrs. Yun and Long Zhiyu.

Xie Yanniang couldn't help frowning when she thought that she would be Xie Ruitong's stepping stone.

The two elder sisters of the Xie family are not kind-hearted characters.

She closed her eyes, and heard Xue Ling lightly put a blanket on herself, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and she felt a little drowsy.

Just in a trance, Xie Yanniang suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

"Xue Ling, grind the ink for me."

As soon as Xue Ling left, she called her back, feeling puzzled, she still silently rolled up her sleeves and rubbed the ink for her.

Xie Yanniang held the Zihao, thought for a while before writing slowly.

Liu Zifu taught her a lot of big characters when she was a child, but she was too shy to use paper and pen. She mostly used branches to draw and learn in the sand table.

It's just that after Xie Yanniang married into the palace, she had nothing to do in the backyard. Since she was not the wife of the principal house, she didn't need a housekeeper to manage the accounts, and the [-]th Prince came only once in a few days, so she simply practiced calligraphy.

After five years, although Xie Yanniang's handwriting may not have the demeanor of a master, she has developed a bit of character.

Xue Ling didn't know big characters, but when she saw the handwriting, her eyes were full of envy, and she praised: "The girl's handwriting is really good, it's on par with the master."

Xie Yanniang just smiled, Mr. Xie's heart is all about business, how can he have the time and energy to practice calligraphy?
As long as Master Xie's handwriting is passable and legible, and not crawling like a dog, that's enough.

She dried the note, tore it up and threw it into the basin in the corner, the handwriting gradually blurred: "Okay, throw it away."

Xue Ling was confused, but in the end she obediently went out.

Xie Yanniang waited for her to go far away, then quickly wrote a few words, dried them and hid them next to her body.

The heart of defense is indispensable, even Xue Ling, she can't fully believe it.

After some testing just now, seeing that Xue Ling could not read, Xie Yanniang breathed a sigh of relief.

What was written on the discarded note was just a warning that often appeared in the Book of Songs, no matter who read it, they couldn't blame her.

When Xue Ling came back, she couldn't help being surprised when she saw the pieces of paper scattered all over the place.

Xie Yanniang wrote a few big characters, but she seemed dissatisfied, she tore it up and threw it on the ground.

"Okay, you pack up, I feel a little bored, go for a walk in the backyard."

She finally stopped, dropped Zi Hao, turned around and went out.

Xue Ling raised the curtain for Xie Yanniang, and asked in a low voice: "But do you want Xue Yan to follow the girl?"

"No, let her help you pack your bags. Eldest sister will definitely send people to come and take a look at her at night. Don't let her get caught up in it. Something will happen again."

Xie Ruitong said one thing and had to stare at himself.

Xue Ling responded in a low voice, Xie Yanniang walked around the backyard alone, stopped and walked, but was vigilant whether there was anyone following behind her.

After confirming that there was no one around, she found the place under the courtyard wall that Ruan Jingxin mentioned last time. She quickly stuffed the note in her hand, and wandered around nonchalantly before returning to the house.

Sure enough, Xie Ruitong sent Lianyin over to have a look.

Seeing that Xie Yanniang had almost cleaned up, she went back to report contentedly.

Xueyan pursed her lips, seeing people who didn't know, thought that the eldest girl cared about the third girl, for fear that she didn't pack her things and left something behind.

Only they understood that the eldest girl was afraid that the third girl would not follow her!

Normally, Xie Yanniang would have laughed at Xueyan's small mouth that could hang gourds, but today she was a little preoccupied and sent them out early.

Xueyan watched Xue Ling close the door, looked back worriedly, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter, girl, she seems very upset?"

Could it be that the eldest girl sent someone to watch her pack things, which made the third girl feel unhappy?

"You stay outside tonight, remember to be more vigilant, don't fall asleep." Xue Ling was afraid that Xie Yanniang would feel uncomfortable and couldn't think about it at night, so she reminded Xue Yan's ear repeatedly.

Xueyan nodded fiercely like a chick pecking rice, and secretly decided that she would not sleep tonight!

Xie Yanniang thought that Ruan Jingxin would send someone to look for her at night if the letter was placed in the agreed place.

It's a pity that I waited half a sleeve and didn't see anyone at all.

She stood by the window, waiting anxiously.

Thinking about it, I also understand that it is impossible for Ruan Jingxin to send someone to guard that place every day to keep his word.

So, is it too late?

Xie Yanniang's heart turned cold, and she suddenly didn't know what to do.

Do you really want to follow Xie Ruitong to the hot spring Zhuangzi tomorrow?

She sat at the table and stared at the candle for a long time.

Xie Yanniang didn't wake up until the light came in from the window, and she actually waited all night.

She pushed open the window lattice and looked at the orange light of the sunrise in the distance, her heart finally sank to the bottom of the valley.

After all, I am still too naive, if the regent pays more attention to her, how can He De follow the news?

Or for Ruan Jingxin, the few words on the letter paper are not enough to impress him?

"Girl, it's time to get up." Xueyan woke up rubbing her eyes, and found that she had fallen asleep again, got up annoyed, and hurriedly fetched water to send in, only to find that Xie Yanniang had woken up early.

There was no sign of anyone sleeping on the bed, and the brocade quilt was still neatly folded, she couldn't help but look worriedly at Xie Yanniang in front of the window.

Xie Yanniang was still wearing yesterday's dress, her face was pale and haggard, but she was not tired, and the solemnity between her brows was deeper.

She silently finished washing under Xueyan's service, Xueling had already come in with a food box.

After setting out the breakfast, Xie Yanniang waved her hands to let them clean up without taking a few sips.

Both Xue Ling and Xue Yan's eyes were worried, before Xue Yan racked his brains to make Xie Yanniang smile, Qinglian Garden sent a little maid outside to remind her.

Xue Ling frowned, it's still early, the eldest girl is here to remind you?

Xie Yanniang is not a person who resigns herself to fate, she thought in her heart that it is okay for her to pretend to have a stomachache and slip away halfway after leaving the Xie Mansion.

Finding an inn, staying with two maids for a few days before returning to Xie's mansion, will not offend Xie Ruitong, give her an excuse to reply to Mrs. Yun, and will not make Master Xie unhappy.

She made up her mind to do so, and her complexion eased: "Let's go, don't keep eldest sister waiting for a long time."

There are not many valuable things left in the house, and Xue Ling took all her own money, so as not to stay in the inn but not be able to pay the money.

There are no relatives of Xie's mansion who open an inn outside, so that Xie Yanniang can lie to stay for a few days.

Xie Ruitong had already been waiting in the flower hall, talking to Madam Xie.

She was wearing a pink dress with budding white lotus on the skirt, elegant and pleasant.

There is a silver hairpin on the hair bun, inlaid with three small pearls.

Although they are small, they are clean and smooth, obviously they are carefully selected top-grade pearls.

The delicate makeup on the face, light but not bright, light and light, set off Xie Ruitong's beautiful face.

Xie Yanniang lowered her eyes, wondering if this eldest sister got up to dress up just after dawn, she just took a hard look at it.

When she quietly looked at Xie Ruitong, the latter was also looking at Xie Yanniang.
