Hou Mansion has a daughter to marry

Chapter 8 Human Skin Mask
Unexpectedly, Marquis Rong An was vigilant, he looked up and saw a figure reflected on the window, walked to the door calmly, and opened the door suddenly.

Seeing that it was Xie Chang'an, Lord Rong'an looked at the food box in Xie Chang'an's hand, and asked bluntly, "What's the matter?"

Xie Chang'an felt guilty, and lowered his head involuntarily and said, "Father, I made Bianshi broth for mother."

Marquis Rong An wanted to eliminate the estrangement with Xie Chang'an, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

To Xie Chang'an's surprise, Marquis Rong'an didn't question her, but instead let her into the house, presumably he had other things to tell him, Xie Chang'an nodded, and entered the house gracefully.

After Xie Chang'an entered the house, Lord Rong'an looked around, ordered his confidants to guard the door, and then closed the door.

Xie Changan saw that Lin's face was still gloomy, so he put the flat meat soup in front of Lin, and was about to speak, but saw another object on the table, if she guessed right, it was a human skin mask Bar.

Xie Chang'an's expression changed, he looked at Lin steadfastly,

Lin was relatively speechless, and called softly: "An'er..."

Xie Changan just looked at Lin, as if he was questioning Lin with his eyes.

Lin sighed, and said, "An'er, this is a human skin mask made in the likeness of your sister."

Xie Changan looked at the human skin mask expressionlessly, and said coldly, "Mother, are you so eager to turn me into Xie Changning?"

Lin retorted with a guilty conscience: "An'er, this human skin mask is just in case. If you find Ning'er, you don't have to..."

Before the words were finished, Marquis Rong An snorted coldly and said: "It's up to her whether she wears it or not. As a member of the Marquis of Rong An's residence, it should be for the sake of the Marquis of Rong An's residence."

One sings red faces, the other sings white faces, Rong Anhou and his wife are probably good at singing!

He clearly promised to give her time to think it through, but secretly made a human skin mask without telling her. He had already arranged everything, but he was still pretending on the surface. It was really hypocritical.

Is Xie Changan a temperament that can be manipulated by others, and he said bluntly: "You have already arranged it? Since she eloped with someone, why would she plan to come back? Besides, even if she comes back, she will still be a big girl ? Then how could Prince Yan accept a woman who has been defiled by others!"

Since they are ruthless, why should she be righteous in Xie Chang'an, and it will be a matter of time before she tears her face.

"Xie Chang'an! What nonsense are you talking about? You keep saying that she is your biological sister!" Marquis Rong An blew his beard and stared, pointing at Xie Chang'an and scolding.

Seeing that Marquis Rong An insisted on defending Xie Changning, Xie Changan smiled instead of anger: "If that's the case, then you should find her back! Why bother to provoke me, a bastard!"

Glancing at the steaming broth on the table, Xie Changan laughed at himself and left without looking back.

Xie Changan, who returned to the room, felt mixed feelings in her heart, and she felt a suffocation in her heart for no reason. She was really panicked. At this moment, she just wanted to vent. She caught a glimpse of the sword hanging on the side, and Xie Changan took it down. other courtyard.

Xie Chang'an's eyes were sharp, he raised his sword and chopped off the branches of the plum blossoms indiscriminately. After a while, the trunk of the plum blossoms was already full of scars and full of hideous cuts.

The depression in his chest dissipated, Xie Changan threw the sword aside as if he had lost his strength, and stopped to stare at the tree trunk injured by him. Xie Changan was in a daze. Thinking about it, caressing the mottled bark, whispered: "Do you feel pain too?"

Being able to return to her parents was once Xie Changan's most longed-for thing, but reality gave her a resounding slap. She was able to return only because they needed it.

Xie Chang'an smiled wryly, she thought she was already invulnerable, but she didn't want to be injured so easily.

Snowflakes were falling profusely, the winter in the capital was as long as a lifetime, and the pervasive cold gradually froze her heart.

"Miss! Miss! Why did you run out by yourself? It's cold, let's go back to the house!"

"Take the sword." After saying those words, Xie Chang'an walked straight away.

Xie Changan, who returned to the house, wrapped himself in a quilt, and naturally carried the red copper hand stove in his arms. At that time, Xie Changan's heart was cold, but now his body and mind are cold, and he only hoped that this winter would pass quickly.

Seeing this, Qingshuang knew that Lord Rong'an was forcing Xie Chang'an again, she couldn't help but sighed in her heart, and then said softly: "Miss, you rest, I'm going to cook a bowl of red dates and ginger soup to drive you away from the cold. "

Xie Chang'an remained silent, and hid under the blanket with his head depressed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Qingshuang left, Ziyun ran to Xie Changan's house, holding a human skin mask in his hand.

"Miss, madam told you to put on this human skin mask." Ziyun said while placing the human skin mask on the bed with both hands.

Xie Chang'an poked his head out, and shouted in a cold voice: "Where is the maid so unruly? Get out!"

Ziyun suppressed his fear, and said: "Miss, madam, please put on the human skin mask."

"Li Bai, slap your mouth!"

Hearing this, Li Bai stepped forward and slapped Ziyun's face vigorously, Xie Chang'an didn't say stop, Li Bai could only keep on slapping Ziyun cruelly.

"Okay, let her talk about it, why do you want me to wear this human skin mask?"

Ziyun's mouth was swollen and he couldn't speak clearly. After listening to it for a long time, Li Bai replied to Xie Chang'an: "Miss, Ziyun said that Princess Yanjun came to the mansion to ask to see the eldest lady by name. Madam couldn't, so she had to..."

Xie Chang'an sneered, and said mockingly, "Help me? I'm afraid that this rescue will kill me!"

Li Bai was speechless, Ziyun muttered impatiently at the side, Li Bai heard it clearly and said to Xie Chang'an: "Miss, Ziyun said that if Miss doesn't go out to meet guests, the Hou family might be destroyed."

Xie Chang'an remained silent, thinking about it in her heart, she knew that what Ziyun said was not unreasonable, if she offended Prince Yan's mansion, how could the Marquis of Rong'an's mansion still have a way out?Ah!If it was true as her father said, it was up to her to wear it or not, and sacrificing her was a foregone conclusion.

Xie Changan stood up and sat in front of the bronze mirror with a cold face, shivering from the cold, Li Bai took a white fox fur and put it on Xie Changan, turned around and took the human skin mask from Ziyun's hand, seeing that Xie Changan was silent, Then he put the human skin mask on Xie Chang'an's face, Libai's hands were dexterous, after the human skin mask was put on, there was no trace of it at all.

She stared at the face in the mirror in a daze, it was all over the country, but it was very strange, it turned out that Xie Changning was born with such a celestial appearance, no wonder Rong Anhou and his wife put him in their hearts, Xie Changan laughed at himself, he was really dispensable.

Seeing Xie Changan put on the human skin mask, Ziyun started to mutter again, this time without waiting for Li Bai to translate, Xie Changan got up and walked out.

In the living room, the princess of Yanjun was sitting upright, accompanied by Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Lin.

Princess Yanjun took a sip of tea, looked up at the concierge, and said with a half-smile: "Miss Xie is not a little airy, is she?"

Princess Yanjun came here for Xie Changning. There are rumors all over the place that her unmarried daughter-in-law really eloped with another man. Princess Yanjun naturally wants to come and see for herself whether the rumors are groundless or not. ?

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Lin were embarrassed when they heard the words, and were about to speak when they saw "Xie Changning" who had been belatedly appearing.

Xie Chang'an raised his eyes and saw a lady in fine clothes sitting on an armchair carved in pineapple wood. She must be the princess of Yanjun. Princess Yanjun."

Princess Yan raised her head, sized her up, and asked, "Are you Miss Xie?"

Xie Chang'an didn't know whether Princess Yan knew about Xie Changning, and he was afraid that what he said would be wrong, so he nodded slightly.

"As expected of being the number one talented woman in the capital, she was born with a beautiful face, extraordinary and refined!" After receiving an affirmative answer, Princess Yan praised "Xie Changning" without hesitation.

Hearing this, Xie Chang'an's tense heartstrings relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Wangfei is absurd."

The old lady Xie on the side quickly took over the conversation, and said with a smile: "Princess Yanjun has won the prize, and our family Ning'er is just an ordinary boudoir girl, with some talents, but she is touted as the most talented girl in the capital by people who don't know it. I am ashamed!"

"That's right, our family, Ning'er, just knows how to embroider and play the piano, that's all for daily entertainment." Lin agreed.

Hearing this, Princess Yan couldn't help but look at 'Xie Changning' a few more times, seeing Xie Changning standing quietly behind Mrs. Xie, looking graceful, Princess Yan couldn't help giving 'Xie Changning' a high look in her heart .

On weekdays, the princess of Yan County has also seen many Yingying and Yanyan, this Miss Xie is really a wonderful person out of the ordinary.

"Even though her talent is touted by others, but she has such a beautiful appearance that others don't have. It's no wonder that Qinglan of our family has a soft spot for Miss Xie!" Princess Yanjun said with a slight smile.

Princess Yanjun still remembers that Yan Qinglan told her that day that she wanted to marry Xie Changning, the eldest lady of Rong An Hou's family. Her Lan'er grew up so big, and it was the first time she had a girl in her heart. I hope he can be happy.

At that time, the princess of Yanjun was very appreciative of this marriage, not to mention that the Marquis of Rong'an and the princess of Yanjun were well-matched. Xie Changning's reputation in the capital was very good, his appearance and talent were both top-notch, and the princess of Yanjun was full of heart. I happily married this family.

Who knows that the good times will not last long, the rumors about Xie Changning are all over the sky recently, Princess Yanjun is really worried, so she went there in person.

Now, this "Xie Changning" is standing in front of her pretty, the rumors are self-defeating, is it just groundless?
The Princess of Yan County thought to herself, she heard that the Xie family had a young daughter who was fostered in Fujian, and she returned to Beijing recently, it was such a coincidence, could it be that the Marquis of Rong An wanted to make Li Daitao stiff?
Princess Yanjun looked at 'Xie Changning' who was standing neatly behind Mrs. Xie again, and said to Mrs. Xie pointingly, "Why don't you see Second Miss?"

Mrs. Lin's heart was beating wildly, and the old lady Xie said in time: "The second girl has been playing in Zhuangzi these few days, and she is not in the mansion."

Princess Yanjun let out a soft "oh", and then said: "Someday, let me meet the second young lady, I think she is a wonderful person."

The old lady Xie smiled and agreed, "That's natural!"

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Princess Yan didn't stay any longer, and went back home after chatting for a few words.
