Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 240 Xiao Lin Was Banned
"Go to the prime minister's mansion." Xiao Lin ordered lightly, and then turned his gaze back to the book of war.

"No bro, I'm really joking." Xiao Yuan was taken aback. "Brother, do you not trust Jing Ning or do you not have confidence in yourself?"

Xiao Lin looked impatient, "You can go if you are told, why are you talking so much, if you don't want to go, don't think about going out to play in the future."

"I'll go, I'll go, I didn't say no." Xiao Yuan hurriedly jumped off the table, if she was really banned from leaving the mansion, how could she leave the mansion to find Fengting in the future. "Hmph, brother, if you threaten me like this again, be careful that I will sue my sister-in-law. Don't forget, at first my sister-in-law believed the rumors and was afraid of you. Be careful that I will speak ill of you again!"

Xiao Lin's face gradually became ugly, "How dare you?" Seeing Xiao Yuan's sullen expression, what can you do to me, Xiao Lin gradually calmed down, "I remember Feng Ting said that he doesn't I like crazy girls. Xiao Yuan, you were always like that when you were young."

Xiao Yuan suddenly panicked, "Huh? Really? But I'm not crazy anymore. No, I wasn't crazy when I was young."

"Oh, really? Who jumped up and down when he was a child, and often played with a slingshot. The slingshot was confiscated, and he secretly stole it at night? It's very different from a lady."

"That was only when I was a child. I don't have it now."

"Then whose sword and carpenter's handiwork did I accept last time?"

"."

"There is a good sentence in this book of war. The country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change."

Xiao Yuan tried her best to restrain her urge to jump up and fight Xiao Lin. Which strategy book would have such a sentence? !You even dare to threaten me, be careful when my sister-in-law gets married, I will go and play with my sister-in-law every day, so as not to let the two of you live in a world of two!

Although her heart was restless, Xiao Yuan still managed to squeeze out a smile, "Dear brother, I'm going to the prime minister's mansion right now, and I will definitely help you find out what my sister-in-law thinks, and I will also give you some good words for you."

"Well, go ahead and come back when it's time to rest. Don't disturb your sister-in-law's rest."

"Okay, brother." Xiao Yuan replied in a delicate voice, but the expression on her face was indescribably ferocious, and her hands were clenched into fists.

Xiao Yuan angrily went back to the courtyard and changed her clothes, then angrily walked to the carriage prepared by the gate of the mansion.It's not that she doesn't want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to play with Jing Ning, but being threatened by her brother and being associated with Fengting really makes Xiao Yuan feel very uncomfortable.

Walking to the gate of the mansion, Xiao Yuan was stopped by someone again. Holding back the anger in her heart, she glanced lightly, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!" Xiao Lin's personal servant at the side tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart. It's scary.

"Miss. This is the gift that the young master prepared for Miss Jingning before, and I instruct you to bring it to Miss Jingning."

"It was prepared before, so why didn't you send it over?" Xiao Yuan took the gift from the servant with a look of disgust.The boy wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and didn't say anything. He couldn't expose his young master's fault, saying that the prime minister ordered not to accept any gifts from the young master.Fortunately, Xiao Yuan didn't want any answer.

"Then why do you want me to deliver it? Wouldn't it be better for him to deliver it himself? I can see my sister-in-law again." Isn't this because the prime minister's mansion has strictly ordered the young master to come to the door, and he will be kicked out before entering the door, let alone Seeing Miss Jing Ning, I can't even see the gate of Miss Jing Ning's courtyard!It can be seen that the prime minister is still very resentful to his young master for marrying me, Miss Jingning.

"Forget it, forget it, whether he likes to see it or not." Xiao Yuan carried the gift and got into the carriage with a proud face.The young servant silently watched the Xiao family's carriage go away, and murmured, "It's not that the young master doesn't want to go, and the prime minister's mansion doesn't allow the young master to enter at all now!"

The carriage quickly arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Xiao Yuan got out of the carriage and found that there were a few more guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion than before.

The butler here also got the news and went to the door to greet Xiao Yuan.Xiao Yuan followed the housekeeper towards Jingning Courtyard, but the housekeeper seemed hesitant to speak on the way.

Xiao Yuan couldn't help but ask first, "Housekeeper, you seem hesitant to speak, but what happened to Jingning?"

"Go back to Miss Xiao, my lady is naturally fine"

"Just what? If you have something to say, just say it."

"The servant just wanted to ask, did Miss Xiao come alone? I wonder if Young Master Xiao came together?"

Xiao Yuan looked puzzled, "Of course I'm alone, why, your lady misses my brother?" As she spoke, she smiled evilly.

"Miss Xiao misunderstood." The housekeeper put on a serious face. "It's the master who ordered Mr. Xiao not to enter the mansion in the past few days. I'm just asking, just in case."

"What did you say? Forbid my brother from entering the house?"

"Yes, our master personally ordered."

"Hahahahaha." Xiao Yuan burst out laughing suddenly, her mood brightened instantly, no wonder she had to let this younger sister come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it turned out that he couldn't get in by himself, it seems that the gift was also because he couldn't bring it in. Only let myself help.

Although very happy, Xiao Yuan still expressed her distress for her brother, "I wonder when Uncle Zheng will take back the punishment order?"

"This slave doesn't know. The Prime Minister didn't explain it."

Xiao Yuan nodded knowingly, it seems that my brother still needs to bear it for a while.

While speaking, Xiao Yuan walked to Jing Ning's courtyard, and Wen Xing was already waiting at the door.

"Wen Xing? Where's your lady? Why aren't you excited to welcome me?"

"Miss Wang Xiao, forgive me, my lady is embroidering a wedding dress, and I'm afraid that the needle and thread will be messed up before the stitch is finished."

Xiao Yuan expressed interest, "Is this the beginning of embroidery? It seems that Jing Ning can't wait to marry into the Xiao family."

"It's obviously your brother who booked the time too early. If you don't rush, it will be too late. Don't laugh at me, maybe you will be earlier than I prepared." Before reaching the door of the room, Jing Ning stopped the needle and stood Xiao Yuan was waiting at the door.

Xiao Yuan took the gift from the maid and solemnly placed it in Jingning's hands, "Here, my brother carefully selected the gift for you. I have prepared it for a long time, but unfortunately your house has rejected everything related to him. So, I'll give it to you personally."

After receiving the heavy gift box, Jing Ning smiled uncomfortably.It was only later that I learned about my father's order, but I couldn't bear to ask my father to take back the order.Anyway, his father was sensible, so Jing Ning never cared about it.

"Hey, that's right. Did you know that Lan Yao was grounded?"

"What?" Jing Ning's expression froze, "What's wrong with Lan Yao? No wonder I haven't seen her come to me these few days, and I haven't gone to her these few days because of my marriage contract."

"I know you've been busy for the past few days and you don't know. It seems that because of Lan Yao and Chen Zhi's affairs, Fu Guogong found out. Then Lan Yao was grounded."

"How did Duke Fu find out? Didn't Lan Yao say that she had been keeping Duke Fu from it?"

"It seems that it's not just Fu Guogong." Xiao Yuan's face also condensed slightly, "Someone must have grasped this point and spread the news. Now there are already rumors about the two of them outside, although they are still very few. "
