married daughter

Chapter 213
Chanjuan frowned when she heard the words, and muttered in a low voice: "How come it's such a coincidence, the girl just had dinner." Ruan Yunting was going to serve the pen and ink at Master Mo's house after school, and she came back late, so she used it for dinner every day. They are not in time, maybe the girl is still hungry when the people in the house are eating, Chanjuan feels distressed when she thinks about it.

Of course Ruan Yunting knew what Chanjuan was thinking, she shook her head with a smile, put down her chopsticks and said, "Aren't you going to prepare tea?" There was some teasing and pampering in her voice.

Chanjuan also knew that it was her duty to not cause trouble for her master, so she hurriedly greeted her with a smile and went to prepare tea as instructed.

Ruan Yunting herself greeted Han Bin's family outside, and just arrived at the door when she saw Xu Xueqi, Xu Ningqiao and Xu Ningxia entering the courtyard talking and laughing.

Xu Xueqi's tall figure is wrapped in a brocade embroidered with silver thread. The color cannot be seen clearly due to the darkness of night, but the light reflected on her body is very dazzling, making her look gorgeous and noble, yet full of youthful vigor.Compared with her, Xu Ningqiao's clothes are much simpler. It's just a suit of water-red jacket and skirt, with a round collar and a plain short bijia, and she's dressed very plainly.Needless to say, Xu Ningxia was still wearing a pomegranate red cross-collar beanie, and she was also very gorgeously dressed.

How did the three of them get together?Ruan Yunting naturally knew that Xu Ningqiao and Xu Ningxia were at odds in appearance and heart, Xu Xueqi was careless, seemed friendly to everyone, and had no secrets in speaking, but she was clearly not close to Xu Ningxia.

Doubtful, several people have come to the front.

"Sister Ruan, let's take a look at you." Xu Xueqi smiled with two deep dimples on her oval face, and joked, "You don't think we're annoying, do you?"

"What Miss Qi said is not going to be annoying, please come in." The visitor is a guest, even if Xu Ningxia has a look of disdain on her face now, Ruan Yunting will give Xu Ningqiao and Xu Xueqi face at least, smiling Together with Han Bin's family, they were welcomed in.

Xu Xueqi has a distasteful personality, just entered the room, she exclaimed "wow", looked at the decorations on the shelf and said: "Sister Ruan's room is so magnificent and full of jewels, I have learned a lot." The tone was pure, without any hint of sarcasm, but Ruan Yunting felt a little uncomfortable in her literal meaning. Although Xu Xueqi was the granddaughter of the third old master's family, she was also a lady of everyone. Even if the shop run by the third old master's family was The Xu family's, they can also reap benefits themselves, why haven't they seen it?

"Miss Qi was joking, please sit down."

Ruan Yunting smiled politely, while Xu Ningxia glanced at the food on the table of the Eight Immortals, two vegetarian stir-fried vegetables, two meat dishes, and a bowl of round-grained rice, as if she hadn't eaten much.

"Sister Ruan's food here is pretty good." Xu Ningxia's voice was slightly stiff.

How long has it been since she called herself "Sister Ruan"?There must be a demon in the abnormality, Ruan Yunting was alerted in her heart, and replied with a smile: "The eighth girl is joking, they all come from the kitchen, and our dishes are similar."

A few people just laughed when they heard the words.

At this time, Chanjuan and Hongdou entered the door with refreshments, and placed a white porcelain multicolored carp teacup on the water, and a mouthful of pastries and candied fruit.

Xu Xueqi picked up the teacup and took a sip, narrowing her eyes with a smile: "Sister Ruan's tea sets are exquisite, and even the tea leaves are top-quality 'Looking up at the Green Snow'."

"That's right. This teacup looks like it's for fine people." Xu Ningqiao also smiled.

Han Bin's family refilled the tea for the two girls with a smile, and said, "This is a new tea that just came this month. Girls can eat more if they like it."

The eighth girl couldn't put a smile on her face.Yangtian Luxue is her favorite, and today she went to ask the third wife for it, but the third wife said that there was no Yangtian Luxue this month, so she gave her some jasmine flowers to make do with it.She didn't have enough tea, but Ruan Yunting had it here, and she encouraged the servants to show off.

This is really a turn of events.Xu Ningxia looked around Ruan Yunting's room for a week. The last time she came to Jingsi Garden was because she stole her earrings and was moved by the old lady. It is empty, and there is no one in the room, but now it is served by gold slaves and silver servants. The interior is warm and luxurious, and Ruan Yunting herself is wearing the moon-white uniform of Fengxian Academy...

The more she thought about it, the more she held her breath, Xu Ningxia's face became even uglier.

This is the real Xu Ningxia.Ruan Yunting secretly looked at Xu Ningxia's expression, she was the real one who could write both joy, anger and disgust on her face, she was not used to the hypocrisy just now.

But at this moment, Ruan Yunting doubted their purpose even more.

The three of them, one representing the second room, one representing the third room, and one representing the branch from the third old master's house, entered the door to either look at the furnishings in her room or the dishes she ate. Xu Xueqi envied each mouthful, Xu Ningxia hid Angry, Xu Ningqiao smiled enigmatically and said nothing.

What is this generation?
Ruan Yunting kept her doubts in her heart, and greeted the three of them with a smile. Seeing that the tea was served for the third time, Xu Xueqi said goodbye.

Ruan Yunting brought the three girls to the gate of the courtyard with her servants, and turned back after being polite. When she frowned in doubt, she heard a surprised voice from a little girl behind her, "Miss Seven?"

Immediately came Xu Ningqiao's voice: "I left something behind, go in and get it, you all should wait outside."

"Yes." Xu Ningqiao's maid should be.

Ruan Yunting has turned back to the door now, and said with a smile: "Sister Seven, is there something wrong?"

Xu Ningqiao pulled Ruan Yunting's hand aside with a serious face, and said, "Do you know what happened today?"

Ruan Yunting said calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Today, the third aunt raised the extra money and silver in your house, and put money for food and clothing, but the expenses of the girls in the other houses were halved. Do you know what this means?"

Xu Ningqiao spoke seriously, but Ruan Yunting relaxed.She thought it was a big deal, so it turned out to be like this.

I don't know if it's because she's numb, since she has experienced those major events involving life and death, she no longer feels nervous and fearful about these trivial fights.As long as it's not fatal, it's easy to handle.

"I see." Ruan Yunting nodded.

Xu Ning happened to be a little surprised to see that Ruan Yunting didn't show any surprises or abnormal emotions, and she approached and said, "All the girls and boys have reduced their allowances to half of what they used to be, but there are more in your house than usual. Do you think everyone can’t be jealous? I don’t need to say this, you know who should have done it. Hey, grandma is really, why did the third aunt mess around? This is using you as a target. The other brothers and sisters, even if they don’t show it on the surface, they still hate you secretly.”

"Then Seventh Sister doesn't hate me?" Ruan Yunting hid her thoughts and joked with watery eyes.

Xu Ningqiao's heart skipped a beat, as if she could see through her bright eyes, the smile on her face became more concerned and kind: "I hate what you do, and I can guess the reason. It's not your fault."

Ruan Yunting smiled, took Xu Ningqiao's hand and said, "Anyway, thank you Seventh Sister for speaking frankly."

"Hey, I just want to help you. Now that you are in the university department, it is inevitable that some people will look at you well. Just ignore the gossip. I see that you have used up half of your meal. Quickly ask someone to warm it up for you. Let's go eat."

Ruan Yunting smiled: "Yes, thank you Seventh Sister."

Xu Ningqiao smiled gently at Ruan Yunting, and then left.

Seeing the little girl on the door close the courtyard door, Chanjuan helped Ruan Yunting up the steps, and said with a smile, "Miss Seven has a very good heart."

Ruan Yunting glanced at Han Bin's family who was following her from the corner of her eyes, and responded with a smile: "Yes." Changing the subject, she said: "It's this hour today, and I'm not hungry anymore, let's take the food away. I'm tired too, I want to go to bed earlier."

Chanjuan and Hongdou looked at each other, feeling a little distressed, it was so late, the girl lost her appetite after being tossed about.They wanted to persuade her to eat some, but the girl ordered them to do so.

After Ruan Yunting finished washing, she changed into her pajamas and got on the couch, but she was wondering what Seventh Girl said.

Is she really "good-hearted" as Chanjuan said?Ruan Yunting can't say that Xu Ningqiao is bad, but Xu Ningqiao definitely has a purpose today. The words she said were for her consideration on the surface, but in fact, not only did she find out the third wife who was the mastermind behind the scenes, but even The old lady who acquiesced to the third wife's doing so even put her on the opposite side.

On the surface, it seems that Xu Ningqiao came to inform the news out of good intentions, but it is not a secret that the flat rate of each house has been reduced. Today, she just came back to the mansion and didn't know about it. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will always know, Xu Ningqiao came to report at this time, nothing more than taking the opportunity to please.

Besides, Xu Ningxia's abnormal performance, there is no guarantee who taught her behind the scenes.Xu Xueqi, Xu Qi, and Xu Ba represent the three little snobs of the Xu family, and the purpose of coming here today is clearly revealed.

Rubbing between her eyebrows, Ruan Yunting felt a little tired.She saw through Xu Ningqiao's intentions to sow discord, but she couldn't tell the people close to her, let alone tell them anything, because Han Bin's family was there.

It's true that Han Bin's family treats her well, but Han Bin's family is not loyal to her, and she will say anything to the old lady.Xu Ningqiao is the granddaughter whom the old lady loves the most. If she said nothing about Xu Ningqiao and it spread to the old lady's ears, then Xu Ningqiao's provocative behavior would turn into a friendly sister instead, and she would be the one who didn't know what to do. .

Ruan Yunting hugged the quilt and sat up, looking up at the wooden Chengchen with a little dust on her head. She will live in this house for at least two years, and it is not an option to keep going like this. Guiyun Pavilion's business needs to be taken care of. She has to take care of her studies, and she will not forget about revenge and finding relatives, but the premise of these is that she must live a stable life first.

Ruan Yunting stayed up half the night, the matter of the third wife was secondary, after all, she was on the bright side, no matter who she followed in the future, if she wanted to gain a foothold, she would have to be surrounded by servants who were loyal to her.

She has endured the sand in her eyes long enough, it's time to find a way to rub it out.
