Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 292 Miss Wanxi
The main hall was unusually quiet, Father Xiao and Mother Xiao sat in the main seats, Wan Xi lowered her head, looking extremely weak and petite, standing beside Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin looked at Xiao's father and Xiao's mother expressionlessly, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he ignored the woman beside him.

Father Xiao coughed lightly, and looked at Mother Xiao, who smiled helplessly.

Then he said to Xiao Lin: "Xiao Lin, this is Miss Wanxi." There was a majesty in his voice.

Xiao Lin glanced at the woman beside him lightly, drooping his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Hello, Miss Wanxi."

Wanxi showed a shy face, her pupils were cut, her red lips were slightly parted, "Young Master Xiao, just call me Wanxi." She looked up at Xiao Lin who was expressionless, and then lowered her head shyly.

Xiao Lin's complexion remained unchanged, he no longer looked at the shy woman beside him, but quietly stared at Father Xiao, not being fooled by Wan Xi's beauty at all.

Father Xiao coughed again, frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Lin, Miss Wanxi was given to you by the emperor, you should treat her well."

Xiao Lin's face turned cold, and he didn't speak yet.Mother Xiao hurriedly interrupted.

Mother Xiao has been paying attention to the changes in Xiao Rin's expression, and seeing that he is faintly angry, she hastily opened her mouth to stop him, fearing that he would say something bad.After all, Wanxi was bestowed by the emperor, which is equivalent to the emperor's eyes.

Xiao's mother said to the maid beside her: "You first accompany Miss Wanxi around the mansion." After speaking, she looked at Wanxi with a smile on her face, "Miss Wanxi, when you just came to the mansion, let the servants take you first. Let me turn around and get acquainted with you."

Wan Xi smiled, with curved eyebrows, "Thank you Madam for your kindness." When she turned around, the corner of her eyes glanced at Xiao Lin who had a stiff face, and the smile on her face remained unchanged.

After Wanxi's figure disappeared, Xiao's father sighed and said to Xiao Lin: "I know you are not happy in your heart, but so what? Wanxi was sent by the emperor. The general's mansion and the prime minister's mansion are married. , the emperor must be jealous, that's why he arranged for a woman to come to my general's residence."

Xiao Lin's expression did not change, but his voice was extremely cold, "The emperor should know that our Xiao family is loyal to Zhao Guo and has no second thoughts."

"So what if you know, the emperor doesn't believe it. Can you find a way to dispel the worries in the emperor's heart? What if you reject this woman, and the emperor is too suspicious and cancels the marriage?" Father Xiao said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed Staring at Xiao Lin, "If the emperor really issued an imperial decree to cancel your marriage with Jing Ning, wouldn't it be worth the loss for you?"

Xiao Lin's expression changed slightly.

"But Dad, Jing Ning is going to marry in half a month, but I have another woman. Doesn't this make the prime minister's house lose face? Not to mention what Jing Ning feels in his heart, the prime minister's heart is also There must be something different."

Xiao Lin was happily preparing for the wedding, looking forward to getting married with Jing Ning in half a month, but, contrary to her wishes, the emperor actually sent a woman to the General's Mansion today... If it was passed to Jing Ning's ears, would she think Very sad.

Although Father Xiao also felt a little sorry for the prime minister, he still kept a straight face, "So what, this Wanxi was bestowed by the emperor, even if we don't want it, the prime minister doesn't want it, Jing Ning doesn't want it, what do you have?" Method?"

"Since there is no other way, accept it."

"It's just a woman after all. Men have always had three wives and four concubines since ancient times..." Father Xiao paused at this point, and glanced at Mother Xiao who was sitting next to him with a strange expression.

Mother Xiao looked at him with a half-smile, Father Xiao took a deep breath, turned his head calmly and continued to say to Xiao Lin: "Jing Ning will understand you too. Let's leave this matter as it is. You cleared up a vacant room in your yard to accommodate Miss Wanxi."

"Father..." Xiao Lin wanted to say something more, but Xiao's father shook his head, "It's done, it's useless to talk more."

Xiao Lin bowed to Father Xiao and Mother Xiao and left.Walking outside the door, I heard Mother Xiao's voice coming from inside the house.

"So you still want to have three wives and four concubines?"

"I'm just persuading that child Xiao Lin, how dare I have such an idea, you are enough in this life..."

……

Xiao Lin smiled, although his father was a general on the battlefield, cold-blooded and tough, but all the tenderness was given to his mother.

I also hope that like my father, all the tenderness in this life will only be given to that woman, only to her.

After Wanxi came out of the house, she walked around the mansion with her servants.

The servant girl brought from the palace had been waiting outside the house, and when she saw her coming out, she hurriedly followed her.

"Has Mr. Xiao always looked cold?" Wanxi asked the servants beside her.When Xiao Lin was mentioned, her face was like a peach blossom, shy.

The servant glanced sideways at Wanxi, and said, "The young master has always been indifferent." She is the girl who has served Xiao's mother for many years, and she also knows Xiao Lin's temperament. matter.Xiao's mother is very satisfied with Miss Zheng, but now that this girl comes to the mansion, I'm afraid it will not be peaceful in the future.

"Really?" Wanxi chuckled.

Afterwards, Wanxi didn't ask any other questions, and walked around the general's mansion with the old girl.

At the corner of the corridor, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Wanxi.

Wanxi was taken aback for a moment, and instead of dodging, she bumped into that figure.

"Hiss." Xiao Yuan saw a person appearing in front of her, but before she had time to stop, she bumped into him. Xiao Yuan touched her nose, grinning her teeth, excruciating pain.

"Are you okay?" A soft voice came from her ear, Xiao Yuan raised her head and was stunned. She didn't remember such a young and beautiful woman in the mansion.

"Miss, are you alright?" Sui Xi ran over panting, looking at Xiao Yuan worriedly.

Miss?Wanxi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, it turned out that this is Xiao Lin's younger sister Xiao Yuan.She remembered that General Xiao had only one son and one daughter, and the son was Xiao Lin, so the daughter was the woman in front of her?

"Who are you?" Xiao Yuan came back to her senses, and noticed that her mother's personal servant girl was standing next to the woman, with hostile eyes.

"My name is Wanxi." Wanxi smiled softly, with bright eyes and bright teeth.

Xiao Yuan pursed her lips tightly, unwilling to stay any longer, and left directly.She was going to find her brother, her parents, and ask what was going on.

The woman just now is so beautiful and charming, what if the emperor really bestowed it on her brother, what will Jing Ning do?It's not that she doesn't trust her brother, it's just that the woman obviously came prepared. Although she is innocent, she is not stupid.

Immediately, elder brother will marry Jing Ning, if this woman interferes and ruins elder brother's marriage, or creates a gap between elder brother and Jing Ning, Xiao Yuan will never let her go!

Sui Xi hurriedly followed Xiao Yuan, walking cautiously behind Xiao Yuan, feeling the coldness emanating from Miss, shivering slightly.
