Concubine's true colors

Chapter 260

Although this young lady of the Bai family met Xiao Jinxuan for the first time, she looked extremely kind and friendly. When she came close, she seemed to be a good friend for many years, and said in an easy-going and natural way:

"Jinxuan, you're here. It's getting cold outside in late autumn. Let's go sit in the living room. I've heard about my sister's name for a long time. Yangzhou's snow disease has contributed to the country, and now I'm going to live and die with His Royal Highness. True love. My sister has long wanted to make friends with you, but she has never been able to see her. When she learned that her mother was coming to the commander's mansion, she followed her eagerly."

Seeing that Bai Liu finished speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled lightly. Although Xiao Jinxuan also smiled gently, she became interested in this young lady of the Bai family in her heart.

After all, Mrs. Wu will come to the handsome mansion, it is because the old matriarch was fainted by her.

Therefore, according to the normal situation, Bai Liu is a member of the Duke's Mansion, so let alone intending to make friends, it is probably more reasonable for her to grit his teeth with hatred.

So now Xiao Jinxuan felt a little awkward about the other party's act of getting close, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't help feeling a little vigilant in her heart.

Seeing that although Xiao Jinxuan was smiling, her expression was alienated, a gleam flashed in Bai Liu's eyes, and then her smile faded away, and she said with a sad face:

"Sister Jinxuan, why don't you talk to me? My grandmother must have caused you a lot of trouble in the past two days. I know that you are angry. It's just that my mother and I didn't try to persuade you, but we are soft-spoken. How can I persuade my grandma? After all, my mother and I did not do well enough."

Seeing that Bai Liu finished speaking, her eye circles were red, and the other party even picked up the brocade handkerchief to wipe it off. Immediately, even if Xiao Jinxuan wanted to wait and see what happened, she had no choice but to say:
"Miss Bai's words are serious. The old lady is my sister's grandmother, and your Duke's mansion is my grandmother's natal family. When the Bai family comes to my handsome mansion, they are distinguished guests. The servants don't know the rules, so it's okay to punish them." That's it, the relationship between our two families will not be affected in the slightest, and I, Xiao Jinxuan, have never been annoyed at all, so there is really no need to say this apology."

Hearing this, Bai Liu immediately shook his head vigorously, and then said with a choked tone:
"Sister Jinxuan, to be honest, I don't agree with my grandmother's actions, but Cousin Jinyu is my grandmother's darling, and she is a descendant of your handsome mansion. Although her status is extremely noble, her temperament is also arrogant. Some. Although I want to persuade a few words, but my sister and I are both concubines, and I can't speak in front of the old lady. When facing this cousin, I am often ridiculed by the other party, but my sister knows right and wrong. I shouldn't be in charge of your Xiao family's affairs."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan looked at her with a quiet smile even though she didn't answer, Bai Liu immediately wiped away her tears, and continued with promises:
"I came to disturb my sister uninvited this time. First, I came to apologize for the Bai family. The second point is to please my sister. No matter what, my mother and I will persuade my grandmother to go back home with us. Now my My mother is advising my grandmother. I think we will be able to leave after a while. The inconvenience caused to your house and my sister these days, my sister doesn't know what else to say besides apologizing again. Come on Express how ashamed I feel now."

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan saw Bai Liu stand up, and then came to her, bent his knees and was about to kneel down for her.

This time Xiao Jinxuan was really shocked, the other party's status was no lower than her, how could she accept such a big gift, she immediately stretched out her hand to support the other party, stopping Bai Liu's move.

"Miss Bai, what are you doing? Please get up quickly. Speaking of which, the servants of your Duke's mansion were punished by me with the court stick, and that Aunt Li was also killed by the stick. It should be me. I am very moved by Miss Bai's words of understanding. Since you are leaving for home today, I will not keep my sister anymore. Jinxuan will not go to see you off at that time, sorry old lady When you see me, you should make her old man unhappy again."

Seeing that she has said so much, Xiao Jinxuan's attitude is still lukewarm, and now she even directly issued an order to evict the guest.

A look of disappointment flashed across Bai Liu's expression, but she still forced a smile, nodded and said softly:
"Since that's the case, then my sister won't bother me any more. I'll go back to my grandmother and make arrangements for returning home. However, regarding Jinxuan's punishment of your servants, the government of our country understands the truth. Those slaves don't know the rules. I lost someone outside, and my sister took the initiative to teach my Bai family to save face, so you don't have to worry about it, our Bai family will not care about it with my sister, since the misunderstanding is clear, then I will leave. "

Nodding her head, Xiao Jinxuan got up and sent the other party out of the living room, and then looked a little coldly, watching the other party walk out of the gate of Lianqiao Courtyard a little lonely under the guidance of Bai Shu.

But Zhu Xin, who was standing beside Xiao Jinxuan, frowned at this moment, and then said with some unbearable:

"Miss, the eldest lady of the Bai family is a nice person. Why are you so indifferent to her? That old lady is hateful. You won't hate the Bai family because of it."

Although Zhuzi's temperament has become much calmer, this quick-talking style has always been preserved, and she is the only one who doubts Xiao Jinxuan so unscrupulously, looking at the whole Lissian Qiaoyuan.

But Xiao Jinxuan usually has no airs, and Zhuzi's uprightness, although it is the weak point of the other party, is also the biggest advantage.

I am used to seeing intrigues and intrigues, and sometimes when I see the bamboo is nowhere near my head, I will say a few words from my heart.

Xiao Jinxuan is more or less envious of the other party's sincerity, because this is the precious character that she no longer has, and these beautiful temperaments are gone when she is reborn. exists.

As for Zhu Xin's doubts, after watching Bai Liu's figure disappear completely, Xiao Jinxuan smiled and said:
"Zhu Xin, you said that if I beat an innocent child in the street for no reason, and everyone around me blamed me, would you protect me, or would you scold me like everyone else? And sever the master-servant relationship with me in public."

I don't understand why Xiao Jinxuan suddenly said such irrelevant words, but Zhu Xin still shook her head without hesitation and said:

"Miss, I naturally want to protect you. Even if your actions are indeed inappropriate, it is impossible for me to watch you being criticized by everyone. As for severing ties, it is even more impossible. Bamboo Heart belongs to you." Slave, I will not do such a thing that does not distinguish between high and low."

Zhu Xin's answer was as early as Xiao Jinxuan expected, she glanced at the other party with a smile, but her eyes were cold and said:

"Actually, I used this as an example just to tell you that you would still protect me against your will even though you knew I was wrong. Then you think that Bai Liu is the granddaughter of the old matriarch, so she will really kill her relatives. Do you think it's reasonable, Zhu Xin, to value reason, but not to help your own relatives?"

Ignoring Zhu Xin's astonished expression, Xiao Jinxuan continued to speak intently as if talking to herself:

"This young lady of the Bai family is really too fair. She even criticized her own grandmother in front of me. This kind of heart to help me is really too warm, even so eager that I can't help it. No doubt, she is just acting. And if my conjecture is correct, then this Bai Liu's scheming is not unreasonable. There is a kind of person who is a tiger with a smiling face. The more enthusiastic he is towards you, the hidden sharp claws will catch you by surprise. To give you a fatal blow, the old lady is just acting arrogantly based on her status, but it is Bai Liu, but I have to be wary of her."

But don't worry about Xiao Jinxuan's heart, how to beware of Bai Liu, but the people of the Bai family really withdrew from the commander's mansion before dusk and sunset, and the old lady even followed Mrs. Wu's mother and daughter back to the country. government went.

After losing the old lady's great backer, the old lady and Xiao Jinyu also found peace and quietness, and Xiao Jinxuan was tired all day, and the peace in the commander's mansion was restored again, so she slept very peacefully that night. Even the nightmares that often appeared at midnight did not bother her.

Early in the morning of the second day when the dew was cold, the sun had not yet risen, and the sky was only a little brighter. Looking three meters away, the surrounding area was still pitch black.

However, on the official road five miles away from the capital, a simple and dilapidated carriage was driving slowly on the road, and the person sitting on the driver's seat driving the horse was none other than the former eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Qingping.

Perhaps it was because he had no experience in driving a horse-drawn carriage, and the horse pulling the carriage was still a scrawny old horse, so no matter how Gu Qingping drove it, he couldn't increase the speed.

And just after Gu Qingping drove the carriage forward extremely slowly for half a stick of incense, suddenly he saw a tall carriage parked on the official road ahead, which seemed to be blocking the way.

When Gu Qingping was able to drive a horse, he arrived at a distance of three or four meters from the carriage on the opposite side. Although the official road was spacious, his driving skills were too unfamiliar. In order not to scratch the other side, he had to get out of the carriage. And came to the other party, politely said across the carriage:

"Excuse me, is there anyone in this carriage? Because I didn't see the driver of the expensive carriage. If the owner's family is inside, can you give way? It's my first time driving a carriage and horse. I'm afraid that if I'm unfamiliar, I'll bump into you. I hope I will disturb you. Excuse me, please do me a favor."

Almost as soon as Gu Qingping's words fell, the door of the carriage was pushed from inside, and then Chi Ling, who was dressed in a dark red costume, leaned out and jumped out of the carriage.

And Xiao Jinxuan's voice came from inside the carriage at this time:

"Mr. Gu, we are also old friends. Now that you are about to travel far away, it is unknown whether we will see you again in this life. It is somewhat unreasonable to leave without saying goodbye."

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Gu Qingping's expression was shocked immediately.

And now Xiao Jinxuan had a smile on her face, bent over and leaned out from the carriage in a gentle manner, and got off the horse with Chi Ling's support, and came to Gu Qingping in a few steps, calmly and decently, bowed to Fang Fushen.
