Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 52

Gong Rou staggered back a few steps, not only did the tall servant girl behind her not help her, but she stepped aside, allowing her to fall to the ground.

"Second Sister~" Gong Rou called out aggrievedly.

"Damn it for those who stand in the way of humanity! I just learned from you, why are you so wronged?" Gong Yu sneered.

What she said alluded to the fact that she blocked Gong Rou's marriage, and Gong Rou planned to harm her reputation and get rid of her.

Gong Rou turned pale, "Second Sister, these are my aunt's selfish intentions and have nothing to do with me."

"It's pitiful not to pretend to be innocent, Mr. Bao and Mr. Shi ran into me so quickly on the night of Qixi Festival, you informed Miss Shi Er and Mrs. Bao, right?"

Gong Yu sarcastically said: "A concubine is only worthy of being friends with a concubine, no matter how lowly she is, she will not be willing to degenerate into making friends with other unfavored aunts! So do you still want to push it on your aunt?"

Gong Rou weakly defended, "Second Sister, it's really just...a coincidence..."

"Gong Rou, put away your disgusting and hypocritical face. From now on, you and I will never be in love with each other as sisters. I will not treat you as my younger sister. Please don't call me second sister when you are alone, because you are not worthy!" Gong Yu Throw away your sleeves.

Gong Rou bit her lip and sat on the ground, the emotions of anger, grievance and unwillingness flashed one by one, and soon turned into pitiful, "Sister-in-law~"

Lu Xinyan had goosebumps all over her body, and said with a smirk: "Third sister, do you think that in your heart, I am still the foolish and rich Lu Xinyan?"

Bo her sympathy?This face is really thick.

Gong Rou was stabbed until her face turned red and blue.

The tall maidservant behind her said disdainfully: "Miss San, everyone is gone, who else are you acting for?"

"Bad maid! What right do you have to talk to me like that?" Gong Rou was stabbed repeatedly and ridiculed by a maid, she was furious.

Maid Mi'er took it easy, "I just want to remind you that it's almost time to go to burn incense. If you go late, this servant will be implicated. When the time comes, the old lady will blame you, and no one will stand up for this servant. I don’t want to follow in the footsteps of Qiyu Mengyu.”

Qiyu Mengyu has been with Gongrou for many years. When the Qingyan Temple incident was sold out, Gongrou never said a word of intercession, and Aunt Qin and the others took all the responsibility.

Although Mi'er was specially appointed by the Jiang family, and her relationship with Qiyu Mengyu was not good in the past, but facing such a ruthless new master, as a maid, she inevitably felt a sense of common hatred and hatred.

Gong Rou was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.

Originally, after reading the letter sent by Aunt Qin when she was sent away, Gong Rou decided to keep her tail between her legs and be careful, not to make trouble, and just focus on finding a way to catch Li Yu.

But she didn't want to make trouble, but others didn't want to let her go.

Gong Yu is like this, Lu Xinyan is like this, and now even a rough servant girl dares to do this to her!
No, she, Gong Rou, must not allow others to bully her like this!

Gong Rou sucked back her tears, hid all vicious thoughts in her heart, and said calmly, "Mi'er, help me up."

Mi'er stood still.

Gong Rou smiled coldly at her, "Mi'er, you just said that you were afraid that I would hurt you, if you don't fulfill your maid's duties, don't say that I hurt you, I will tell the old lady all this, saying that you will hurt me. Push it to the ground and prevent me from going to the small ancestral hall on time!"

Mi'er's complexion changed slightly.

"Do you think your good wife will stand up and speak for you?" Gong Rou stretched out her hand to stroke the broken hair on her temples, and said slowly: "If she doesn't come out, do you think the old lady believes in me or you?"

No matter how you say it, Gong Rou is also the youngest lady in the lineage of Lord Hou. No matter how big the mistake is, the old lady will find a way to protect her.

Because of this, the matter of Qingyan Temple was not pursued further, and Aunt Qin was allowed to bear it all.

Mi'er walked over, stretched out her arms and placed them in front of Gongrou, "Miss San, please help the servant to stand up."

A coldness flashed between Gong Rou's brows, she stretched out her hand with long nails and pinched Mi'er's arm forcefully.

Mi'er screamed, flung Gong Rou's hand away, and said angrily: "Miss San, what are you doing?"

"Let you know who is the master!" Gong Rou said coldly, "In this mansion, I can't do anything to my wife, I can't do anything to my young lady, I can't do anything to my big brother or my second sister, can it be that I can't even do anything to you, a little servant girl I don't care who sent you here, but please stick to your duty as a slave, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Mi'er's chest rose and fell sharply, and after looking at Gong Rou fiercely for a few times, she finally lost the battle, "Yes, Miss San, this servant knows."

"Dust the dust off my body for me so that the old lady won't see it."

"Yes, Miss San."

-

After coming out of the small ancestral hall, Lu Xinyan took Bai Zhi and Feng Shi back to Fushouyuan.

"Zhuzhu, grandma knows that you have been wronged about what happened yesterday." Feng Shi held Lu Xinyan's hand, "But the eldest daughter-in-law is always your mother-in-law, and as a daughter-in-law, it is inevitable that you will suffer some grievances, which one?" Didn't the daughter-in-law survive like this? Grandma also endured it for decades."

Discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most normal thing in the world, but it is unheard of for a mother-in-law to covet her daughter-in-law's dowry and do everything possible to make her son's head green into a football field.

Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, without saying anything, "Grandmother, Zhuzhu knows, you lie down and let Baizhi give you the needle."

Seeing her avoiding talking, Feng's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she didn't pester her anymore, and lay obediently on the Arhat couch.

Taking advantage of the gap between Bai Zhi's needle injection, Lu Xinyan asked casually: "Grandmother, Bai Zhi said that you lost money when you were pregnant with Lord Hou. Isn't it extremely dangerous during childbirth?"

"When my grandmother went home to visit her relatives, she didn't know she was pregnant. She was hunted down and injured on the way. Fortunately, your grandmother saved her life. She was too weak at the time, and all the doctors advised her to give up the child. The grandmother was reluctant and insisted on keeping him. Later, when the child was born, it was indeed very fierce. Fortunately, the mother and the child were safe. The midwives who delivered the child said that the grandmother was in such a poor health, but the child was healthy. It was God's blessing. "

Feng recalled the past, with feelings on his face, "I don't know if it was because of my grandmother's poor health that Xuan'er suffered in my grandmother's stomach. He has been thin and cowardly since he was a child. I owe him... By the way, girl Bai Zhi is so good at medicine, can you take some time to help Xuan'er take a look and recuperate?"

It turned out that the Feng family didn't know that Gong Xuan was not her biological son!

"Grandmother, a few days ago, Bai Zhi met Lord Hou by chance, and saw that he coughed twice, and he has already checked his pulse. The pulse is normal, and there is nothing serious."

"Then grandma can rest assured." A sincere smile appeared on Feng's face.

Raise a child to be a hundred years old, often worry about 99.

Hearing that Gong Xuan was in good health, nothing could be happier than Feng Shi.

Lu Xinyan felt a little sour in her heart, if one day the Feng family knew that the son she had loved for more than 30 years was not her own son, how sad it would be!
-

Back at the Pomegranate Courtyard, Shuyun Lueyue had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the two of them follow Lu Xinyan in, Xiao He pouted unhappily, feeling that her most favored position was threatened, "Miss, why did you let them in? I want to go in too."

Lu Xinyan squeezed her face with a smile, "You have more important things to do."

"What's the matter?" Xiao He was eager to try.

"Tomorrow is Bai Zhi's birthday, you ask Madam Cheng to prepare, and we will have barbecue tomorrow!"

Hearing what kind of barbecue, Xiao He's saliva flowed out.

Since a bunch of strange things came that day, after Lu Xinyan introduced the uses one by one, the glutton in Xiao He's stomach was hooked out.

"I'll tell Mother Cheng right away." Xiao He said immediately.

Madam Cheng has good cooking skills. Lu Xinyan briefly told her how to grill before, and Nanny Cheng understood immediately, so Lu Xinyan was relieved to give it to her.

After Xiao He hopped away, Lu Xinyan closed the door, "Let's get started."

After Shu Yunxueyue looked at the picture last night, the resistance in her heart has become [-]% willing, and she has a kind of awe-inspiring dedication to art.

An hour later, Lu Xinyan finished dozens of paintings.

She twisted her neck, "Okay."

Shuyun and Liaoyue went together immediately, and the painting was still as lively as last night.

The two looked at each other, suddenly felt something was wrong, and were dumbfounded, "Miss...this..."

"Don't make a fuss." Lu Xinyan said, "You all know how to draw, right?"

The two nodded.

"Then you each draw a set according to the imitation, and I will color it first."

"Yes, ma'am."

The speed of coloring is much slower. Even if it is just simple coloring, no matter how fast Lu Xinyan is, she can complete about ten paintings in one afternoon and even at night.

Lu Xinyan thought for a while and asked the two of them, "Is it possible for you to paint in this way?"

When Shu Yunxueyue was painting Lu Xinyan, she had already secretly glanced at her technique, nodded immediately and said: "Yes."

Lu Xinyan handed over the matter of coloring to the two, and began to slowly write on paper with a bamboo stick.

Although she can write with a brush, her speed is too slow.

When Shu Yunxueyue saw her writing, a strange smile appeared on her lips from time to time, and her back felt chills for no reason.

Early the next morning, the entire pomegranate yard began to get busy.

Wash chicken wings, cut pork, wash vegetables and fruits, chop onions and garlic, fry peppers, make juice...

The barbecue is located on the swing, covered with a large square oilcloth, which is ventilated and shaded, so even if there is sunlight, it does not feel too hot.

When it was almost noon, Mother Cheng and Qingtong started to light the stove.

There were not many people in the pomegranate yard, so Lu Xinyan let two stoves be lit and placed them side by side.

Seeing the flames jumping up, Xiao He eagerly forked a chicken wing and put it on top.

Soon, a burst of aroma accompanied by burnt smell spread.

"How did this happen?" Xiao He looked at the half-pasted chicken wings and asked in frustration.

Madam Cheng explained, "To turn it, it's the same as stir-frying. It has to be evenly heated."

Xiao He sticks out her tongue and pats herself on the head, she is so stupid!

The barbecue at the Pomegranate Yard is in full swing.

Next door to the Prince's Mansion of the Duke of Zhen, Wu Sheng's grandson Mo Bai and Li Yu took advantage of today's rest and came to look for Xiao Yichen.

It's not that Xiao Yichen is popular, but actually with his cold personality, he is not popular at all.

But Shizi Mansion is quiet, except for a few servants, it is empty, no one is noisy, so quiet.

As long as you come here, the whole person is much more relaxed.

So Wu Sheng and his colleagues love to come here when they have nothing to do.

As for Gongsun Mobai, he was still heartbroken about the 1000 tael house, wondering if he could find a chance to cheat him back, so he followed.

As for Li Yu, he was very preoccupied.

"Cousin Xiao, why did you move the yard?" When the servant brought the three of them to Qin Yuan, Wu Sheng, who was dressed in a light purple brocade robe, set off his extraordinary imposing manner, asked puzzled.

"I've seen the third prince!" Xiao Yichen, clad in a crescent-colored robe, cupped his hands, his expression as cold as ever, "That courtyard is a bit off, and Qin Garden is the main courtyard."

Wu Sheng just asked casually and didn't think much about it.

Li Yu looked at the three of them, hesitantly, "Third Prince, Prince Xiao, eldest cousin, I have a question to ask you."

"Speak." Wu Sheng said.

Li Yu lowered his voice, "If you...you accidentally hugged an...unmarried woman, what would you...how would you do it?"

"Cousin, have you hugged someone else's little lady? Which family? Tell cousin!" Gongsun Mobai blinked his ecstatic peach blossom eyes, and his face was full of interest.

Li Yu blushed, "I...I'm asking you..."

Gongsun Mobai winked at Wu Sheng, Wu Sheng understood, raised his eyebrows, and said as a matter of course: "Since I have a physical relationship with the young lady, I naturally have to come to propose marriage."

"But... what if she is older than you?" Li Yu asked again.

"Cousin, you hugged a little lady who is older than you?" Gongsun Mobai said in disbelief: "It's not that those married women pretend to be little ladies to lie to you, right? Tell cousin, cousin will help you go!" Expose her!"

"No! No!" Li Yu quickly waved his hands, "I'm asking you guys!"

"As the saying goes, a third-year girl should hold a golden brick! It's not bad to be older." Wu Sheng still put on a serious adult look on his childish face, "Besides, as the son of a mighty general, you Ruining someone's reputation is ruining it, how can you be irresponsible just because someone is old or ugly? Cousin Xiao, don't you think so?"

Wu Sheng winked, Xiao Yichen remained expressionless and turned a blind eye, "If the third prince likes older ones, I'll go to the palace and talk to my aunt next time."

"Don't, don't!" Wu Sheng smiled hippie, "Cousin Xiao, I'm just joking."

Li Yu frowned, feeling that Wu Sheng's words made sense.

But it would be okay if it was a girl from another family, but it happened to be Gong Jin next door, not to mention six years older than him, and he followed others to call him Fourth Aunt Gong since he was a child.

He remembered meeting him once in Wuyanghou's Mansion when he was a child. He seemed to be five years old at the time, and for some reason he was so scared that he peed his pants in front of Gong Jin.

Although he felt ashamed at that time, but thinking that Gong Jin was an elder, he soon felt at ease.

After the hug from Qingyan Temple, every time Li Yu thought about it, her face would be filled with embarrassment.

When he was in a daze, suddenly a strange fragrance wafted over.

"Smells so good!" He couldn't help but uttered, got up and walked towards the source of the fragrance.

Li Yu's nose is particularly sensitive to incense, Xiao Yichen and the others are not, so they have long been familiar with his behavior, so he ordered the little monkey to follow behind him, and let him go.
