Concubine's true colors

Chapter 67
Xiao Jinxuan nodded gently when she heard the words, and let Mrs. Zhao lead her to the mansion.

After she came to Shuaishuai's mansion in the previous life, the only person who took good care of her was Zhao's eldest aunt.

At that time, she was not taken seriously, but was arranged to marry as a substitute, and she was usually cheated by others, and lack of food and clothing was a common thing.

But this eldest aunt is kind-hearted, and once she found out about it by accident, she often helped her.

Later when she got married, it was also the other party who made the decision, saying that the daughter of the Xiao family should not be too shabby when she got married. That's why the dowry, which was originally only four carts, was added to ten carts.

Although these generous dowries were finally used by Ji Lingfeng to pave the way, Xiao Jinxuan did not forget Zhao's kindness. If she could, she would repay the other party when necessary.

But just as they walked to the gate of the mansion, before they crossed the threshold, Qian's angry voice came from behind.

"Wait a minute, sister-in-law, you can't take her in, and she was right in front of the mansion when she came here, causing trouble. I think Jinxuan should go to the family temple first, recite scriptures and worship the Buddha, so as not to enter the mansion and cause trouble. "

Zhao's mouth is clumsy, and he knows in his heart that all of this is Qian's own fault, and he can't blame others, but he just doesn't know how to express it.

Xiao Jinxuan smiled at Mrs. Zhao, signaling to her not to worry, turned around, and came to Mrs. Qian with light steps.

At this time, Qian Shi did not have the bright and beautiful appearance just now, her dress was burnt and ashes protruding, turned inside out.

The face and arms were also covered with dust, the bun was crooked, hanging on the head, and the pearl and hairpin headdress was rolled all over the floor by her hand.

Looking at Qian's embarrassed appearance, Xiao Jinxuan smiled.

Then he reached out to borrow his own soft velvet cloak, and with a wave of his hand, he helped Qian Shi put it on.

"Third aunt, instead of worrying about whether my niece will cause trouble for the mansion, she should first care about whether your current appearance will discredit the handsome mansion. If I were an aunt, why would I yell here? I just found a crack in the ground and got in, and stood in front of this mansion for nothing, just making people laugh."

Her voice was not loud, but it was enough for Qian Shi to hear clearly. Anyway, once Qian Yingluo died, the feud between her and the Qian family would never end, so she didn't have to have any taboos when facing Qian Shi , This is naturally sarcasm, how to say it.

She just wants to tell the other party that before making a move, keep your eyes open, don't treat her like a soft persimmon, and pinch her however you want.It also saves the other party from making trouble for her every day.

When Qian heard this, her breathing was stagnant, and she stared at Xiao Jinxuan with eyes full of anger.

Originally, in the Marquis of Huai'an, her sister-in-law of the princess said that Xiao Jinxuan was inseparable from Qian Yingluo's death, and when she asked her to find a chance to get rid of him and avenge her, she didn't take Xiao Jinxuan seriously at all.

In her opinion, a stinky girl who lived in Zhuangzi since she was a child will turn upside down if she has the ability, so she has made a plan to torture her for a while, and then let her die in pain.

But now she knows that things seem to be different from what she thought. This little bitch from Yangzhou looks quiet on the outside, but she didn't expect to be a powerful character. The opponent lost face.

If this is the case today, Qian can't explain to Princess Huayang on the one hand, and can't afford to lose this person.

So when Xiao Jinxuan turned around slowly and was about to re-enter the mansion, Qian Shi caught her in one fell swoop.

"Jinxuan, don't worry about your aunt. I can say a few words about this handsome mansion. If I say send you to the family temple, then you can only go to the family temple. Why are you still standing there? Don't help Miss Fourth get into the carriage."

As soon as Qian stared, she was ready to let her servants force Xiao Jinxuan into the carriage and drag her away. Anyway, the old lady didn't like this granddaughter at all. Now that she did this, it suits the other party's wishes. Even if she knew about it afterwards, she wouldn't How will she be.

After all, she is just a concubine, so she can just pretend to be close to the capital, and who can really care about her life or death.

Qian's plan was very good, but she forgot that there is still someone who has been standing here and hasn't left yet.

Seeing Zhou Xianrui who didn't speak much from the beginning, when he saw the servants surrounding Xiao Jinxuan, he took a step forward and protected the other party behind him.

"What is the third lady going to do? When I left Yangzhou, the king personally promised Mr. Xiao that he would send the fourth lady into the commander's mansion safely. If you want to take the fourth lady to the family temple by force, you have to ask the king. Not allowed."

When Zhou Xianrui stopped, the accompanying guards also surrounded him one after another. Chi Ling even held the soft whip around his waist with one hand, and silently walked to Xiao Jinxuan's side, silently posing for an attack.

Qian Shi never expected that Zhou Xianrui would directly intervene in the Xiao family's affairs in front of the Shuai's mansion, and Zhou Xianrui has always been one-sided, Qian Shi knew that if she dared to rob someone, the other party would really dare to fight her .

For a moment Qian couldn't get off the tiger, and froze in place, not knowing what to do.

At this tense moment, an old but majestic voice came from the Marshal's Mansion.

"Prince Rui is right, don't say that His Highness won't agree, even if I am an old man, I won't agree. Third daughter-in-law, look at what you have done, why did you keep my good granddaughter out of the house? The older I am, the older I am. , this thing is getting more and more confused, why don't you quickly step aside."

As the words fell, I saw an old woman with silver hair, leaning on a dragon-headed cane in one hand, and a young woman supported the other hand, her eyes were bright, her back was straight, and she walked with a heavy gait from the commander's mansion. walked out.

The moment they saw the old lady, everyone restrained their expressions and saluted respectfully.

Even Zhou Xianrui respectfully saluted as a junior before standing up again.

In fact, it is no wonder that everyone is like this, because this solemn old lady is the wife of Marshal Xiao, the real person in charge of the Marshal's mansion, the mistress Bai.

Xiao Jinxuan is now like everyone else, bowing down respectfully to salute, but her eyes are not focused on this venerable grandmother, but her hands are clenched into fists, and she is staring at the old lady. , the young woman who was supporting the other party with a smile.

I saw this woman, like a banished fairy, with a frown and a smile, untouched by the mortal world, no matter from which angle you look at it, she is perfect like the most exquisite precious jade, without any flaws, and this woman is none other than Xiao Jinxuan. The sister-in-law that I dare not forget, Xiao Jinyu!
It seemed that her hatred-filled eyes were too hot, and Xiao Jinyu could sense it even a few meters away.

Seeing her raising her head in doubt, she glanced towards Xiao Jinxuan, their eyes met, she froze for a moment, then smiled and nodded slightly.

But when Xiao Jinxuan saw the other party's flawless smile, the hatred in her eyes was about to burst out.

Xiao Jinyu, you hurt me so badly in your previous life, and now you still dare to smile at me so calmly. If it weren't for the heart, telling yourself to be patient, she couldn't help but rush over, tear the other person's smiling face, and stab her Knife, chop her into pieces.

Xiao Jinyu naturally sensed the hostility of this concubine towards her, and frowned slightly annoyed. She took another deep look at Xiao Jinxuan, then turned around, whispered something in the old lady's ear, and then took Pointing to where Xiao Jinxuan was standing.

Xiao Jinxuan, who had been staring closely at the other party, naturally saw Xiao Jinyu's movements, looked at the old lady, raised her head suspiciously, and looked towards her.

Xiao Jinxuan took a deep breath, and immediately suppressed the hatred in her eyes. When she met the other party's eyes, she gave the grandmother a little blessing, and greeted her decently.

Seeing this, the old lady withdrew her gaze in satisfaction, but did not notice Xiao Jinxuan's strangeness, and then the other party's eyes turned to Zhou Xianrui.

The dragon-head crutch in her hand poked the ground, and the old lady said with a smile:

"Prince Lao Rui will send this girl back. We, grandparents and grandchildren, need to catch up on the old days. We won't let the prince into the mansion today. In the future, I will be in charge of the mansion. I will prepare a banquet and thank you very much."

Anyone could tell that what the old lady said was polite, but she was actually issuing an order to evict the guests.

Moreover, she still shut out a prince. I am afraid that in Changping, there are no more than ten people who dare to do this, but the old lady is definitely among these ten people.

The old lady's family name is Bai, she was born in Huaguo Duke's mansion, her father is a veteran of the four dynasties, her grandmother and mother are both princesses.The Bai family was conferred as a third-rank lord since birth, and after marrying Marshal Xiao, she is now a first-rank madam.

In addition to the four sons she gave birth to, two and three of them died in battle. The first emperor granted him a walking stick with a dragon head. The status of the old lady can definitely be ranked among the top three.

Therefore, it is really not a big surprise for Mrs. Xiao to issue an order to evict a prince.

When Zhou Xianrui heard this, he just smiled, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, then the king will not bother you. Once the old lady and Miss Fourth have expressed their affection, Xianrui will leave."

Today he has intervened once, so he can't stop him for the second time, and Xiao Jinxuan has to pass the test of the commander's mansion by himself, so after taking a deep look at the woman behind him, he left with the guards.

When only the Xiao family was left in front of the Shuai's mansion, the old lady's original smile disappeared in an instant.

She glanced at Qian shi slightly annoyed, and when she closed her eyes, her brows furrowed deeply.

"Look at what you look like now, don't hurry to change your clothes and come out, you're sticking around, you want to embarrass our commander-in-chief."

Hearing this, Mrs. Qian's eyes flashed with shame, she saluted, and ran to the mansion in a hurry, but when she passed by Xiao Jinxuan, she couldn't help but glared fiercely. A glance at the other party means that we will wait and see in the future.

Xiao Jinxuan just looked at her quietly, the expression on her face didn't change a bit. You must know that in this handsome mansion, although it may be Qian's who is in charge, the old lady has always been in charge.

And what this grandmother likes most is women who are gentle and submissive, so Xiao Jinxuan will not even say that Qian Shi is staring at her, even if the other party yells at her, she will not frown, and still put on the most appropriate smile. come out.

Originally, the old lady had a grudge against her in her heart. Now she naturally wants to do what she likes and try to make a good impression on the other party. This is the most beneficial way for her now.
