"Third Miss, the invitation has been sent to the Princess Yuncheng's mansion!"

Yimei came back from outside, with a hint of displeasure on her expression.

Since the day before yesterday, Nangong Yue has sent people to send greeting letters to the Princess Yuncheng's Mansion every day. Unfortunately, the first two letters were like a mud cow sinking into the sea, and there was no response from the Princess Mansion.

This is already the third greeting message today!

Yimei hesitated, feeling that Princess Yuncheng didn't take the three girls seriously at all, so why should the three girls bring trouble to themselves!

At this moment, Nangong Yue half-squinted her eyes and was lazily leaning on a roll-style beauty couch. The warm sunlight shone on her through the window, as if covering her with a thin golden layer. yarn.

Normally, she would have been attending a boudoir school at Yaoyueju at this time, but because of the bandit incident, Mrs. Su felt that she and Nangong Qing were frightened, so she simply gave them a three-day holiday to let them have a good time. Take some rest.

Nangong Yue opened her eyes casually and responded lightly: "I know."

Nangong Yue is naturally aware of the injustice in Yimei's heart, but that day at Qi Wang's Courtyard, she had personally promised Liushuang County Lord that he would come to treat her, and now she has not broken her promise.

"Miss Three." At this time, Magpie walked in from outside the door and announced, "Miss Liu is here."

Liu Qingqing? Nangong Yue couldn't help but sit up from the beauty's couch, with a look of surprise on her face.

It's not that she doesn't welcome this lady-in-law whom she never met in her previous life, it's just that since Miss Liu arrived at Nangong Mansion, apart from greeting Su in the morning and evening, she has been staying in the guest house Hefeng Courtyard and rarely goes out. Nangong Yue had only met the other party a few times, and probably had not spoken more than the palm of her hand, but she did not expect that the other party would suddenly come to visit her today.

Despite her doubts, Nangong Yue straightened her clothes and went to personally invite the person in.

"Miss Liu!"

"County Lord." Liu Qingqing bowed.

Nangong Yue quickly reached out to help her and said kindly: "Miss Liu, our two families are family friends, and you are several years older than me. You don't have to be polite, just call me Sister Yue."

Liu Qingqing was generous and generous, and did not refuse. She called out in a good-natured manner: "Sister Yue, then don't call me Miss Liu. I'll just ask you to call me Sister Qing."

Nangong Yue thought to herself: Although this Miss Liu's family is poor, her character is not coy, and her sister can be seen as her brother. No wonder Liu Qingyun was so promising in his previous life!

"Sister Qing!" Nangong Yue pulled her into the room affectionately and sat down at the table. Yimei cleverly served hot tea and snacks to the two of them.

Nangong Yue pointed to one of the plates of pine nut cakes and said, "Sister Qing, the pine nut cakes I have here are made by my nanny, please try it."

Liu Qingqing picked up a piece obediently and praised: "This pine nut cake is really beautiful, I can't bear to eat it."

After the two drank some tea and ate some snacks, Nangong Yue asked: "I wonder what sister Qing wants to see me for today?"

With a look from Liu Qingqing, her personal maid Ziying stepped forward. Liu Qingqing took a food box from her hand and handed it to Nangong Yue.

"Sister Yue, I wanted to visit you two days ago, but I thought that you and the eldest lady had just returned home and needed a good rest, so I postponed it until today. This is a walnut cake made by me, eldest lady. I just sent a copy there, this is for you, I hope you like it." Liu Qingqing has a soft expression and a smile on her face, which makes people fall in love with her at first sight.

Nangong Yue nodded secretly in her heart. This Liu Qingqing was thoughtful and logical in her speech. She seemed to be a good girl... It was a pity that her grandmother and aunt would definitely look down on her!

Nangong Yue felt a little sarcastic in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She took the food box with a smile, opened it on the spot, tasted a piece, and praised it profusely: "It tastes so good... Sister Qing's craftsmanship is so good."

Liu Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister Yue, as long as you like it."

The two chatted for most of an hour, not only about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also about what happened that day in Qiwang Courtyard. After that, Liu Qingqing left Mozhu Courtyard.

On the way, Ziying couldn't help but sigh softly: "Girl, even though this third girl from Nangong Mansion is the head of the county, she is really kind to others. Even the people in her yard are polite to us. , unlike the eldest lady’s Wanqingyuan..."

"Shut up!" Liu Qingqing looked solemn and scolded in a low voice, "Ziying, you have to remember this sentence, otherwise, don't stay around me anymore. I lost my life." The backyard of a deep house is not so easy to stay in. In this huge Nangong Mansion, I have to be careful every step of the way!

Ziying looked frightened and nodded repeatedly: "Girl, I will remember this."

Liu Qingqing nodded, stopped talking, and went directly back to Hefeng Courtyard where he was staying temporarily.

After entering the house, Liu Qingqing sat down on the chair by the window and picked up a book, but she was a little absent-minded. Thinking back to the conversation she had just had with Nangong Yue, she couldn't help but curl her lips slightly.

The eldest girl of Nangong Mansion, Nangong Cheng, is not only the most beautiful woman in the capital, but also famous for her talents. However, according to her, the third girl is the hidden master. Outsiders only think she is lucky. The title of Yaoguang County Lord. But she felt that Nangong Yue's talent was definitely no worse than Nangong Cheng's, and most importantly, her vision, mind, and character were much better than Nangong Cheng's.

To put it bluntly, Nangong Cheng is an outstanding legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family, much better than the average boudoir girl. But Nangong Yue, she has a unique temperament that is hard to describe... At first, Liu Qingqing didn't understand what it was, but later when the two of them talked about bandits, she suddenly realized that it was a kind of killing. Qi.

Liu Qingqing fell into deep thought, and it wasn't until Ziying came in that she came back to her senses.

"Girl, Grandma Ying next to the eldest lady is here." Ziying reported nervously.

She and the girl lived in Nangong Mansion for a few months. She naturally knew that Nanny Ying was the confidant of Madam Zhao, so she was inevitably a little frightened.

In contrast, Liu Qingqing was still so calm and calm. She stood up gracefully, straightened her clothes, and went out to greet him.

"I've met Miss Liu." Nanny Ying saluted Liu Qingqing with a smile.

"Mammy Ying, you don't have to be so polite." Liu Qingqing quickly turned aside and asked, "Mammy came to see me, but what are the orders from the eldest lady?"

Mammy Ying said respectfully: "This servant doesn't know. This servant is just following the order of the madam to invite the girl to Jinhua Courtyard."

Obviously the other party's etiquette and tone were all thoughtful, and there was no fault in it, but Liu Qingqing felt a little unnatural inexplicably.

"Then I'll ask you to lead the way." Liu Qingqing nodded slightly, took Ziying with her, and followed her out the door.

A few people arrived at Jinhua Courtyard together. Liu Qingqing walked forward slowly without being humble or arrogant, and saluted Mrs. Zhao: "I have met Madam." Her manner was calm and her behavior was as perfect as measured by a ruler.

"Miss Liu is here, please take a seat." Mrs. Zhao smiled gently, but her eyes were distant.

"Thank you, madam." After Liu Qingqing said the blessing again, she sat down and straightened her slender waist.

Zhao didn't say why he was looking for her, and Liu Qingqing didn't take the initiative to ask. He just sat there calmly with a smile on his face, without any hesitation at all.

Even Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but admire her in her heart, what a good manners.

But what needs to be said is that the Liu family is in decline, and Liu Qingqing is just a drag on her brother Sheng!

When the maid served tea and snacks, Mrs. Zhao pretended to be the master and said condescendingly: "Miss Liu has lived in the mansion for a while, but are you still used to it?"

Liu Qingqing bowed and said, "Thanks to Madam's care, everything is fine with Qingqing."

"Just get used to it." Mrs. Zhao smiled faintly and said politely, "If there is anyone in the house who is not discerning and neglects you, just tell me and I will make the decision with you."

"Mrs. Xie."

"Miss Liu, why are you so polite?" Ms. Zhao narrowed her eyes with a smile, a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes, and pretended to be warm, "In my heart, you are like my daughter." In Zhao In her mind, as long as Liu Qingqing agreed to break off the engagement, it would be okay to recognize her as her adopted daughter. Then she would prepare a dowry and marry her off in a glorious manner.

"It is Qingqing's blessing to have Madam take care of her." Liu Qingqing's face was still full of gratitude, but her heart was like a mirror, knowing that Mrs. Zhao was basically duplicity. If she was sincere and affectionate with her, she would not say "Miss Liu" "Yes.

"Miss Liu, come here."

When Zhao said this, Liu Qingqing naturally stood up and walked to her side. However, Zhao suddenly grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "It's too foreign to call me madam. Why don't you just call me Yiyi?" Mother, I will love you as my own daughter."

Liu Qingqing looked at Zhao's right hand on the back of her hand, her eyes slightly cold, and she was so embarrassed and angry that she almost turned around and left. But she still suppressed it and said slowly: "Madam, according to Dayu customs, even if you want to recognize your adoptive relatives, you must have at least two respected elders as witnesses, and then invite relatives and friends to a banquet... instead of being so casual. As soon as I said..." It turns out that the purpose of Zhao's calling me here today is this. If I recognize Zhao as my adoptive mother, then she and Nangong Sheng will be called brothers and sisters, and the original engagement can be legitimately terminated!

"Miss Liu, do you think it's too much of a joke to say it casually?" Ms. Zhao smiled coldly, feeling a little impatient in her heart, "Yes, verbal agreements are indeed too childish. , just like the drunken oral engagement between my father and you, Nangong Shibo... Isn't it also a joke made by a slip of the tongue!"

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing's heart surged with anger. Back then, her father Liu Ning and Shibo Nangong Qin had a pleasant conversation over wine and agreed on her marriage to Nangong Sheng. Now in Zhao's mouth, it has become a joke about a drunken gaffe... …

Liu Qingqing was angry, her face was stern, she no longer cared about etiquette, and said sharply: "Although Qingqing's parents are dead now, he is like a father. If Madam thinks this engagement is just a joke, you can go Discuss it with my brother! Why discuss this kind of thing with a boudoir woman like me? It’s really too inappropriate and there are no rules!”

After saying that, Liu Qingqing said no more, bowed to Mrs. Zhao and then walked away, leaving Mrs. Zhao standing there shaking with anger and saying to Nanny Ying beside her: "Look at her! You have no respect for your elders, how can such a person be worthy of marrying into my Nangong family!"

Liu Qingqing took Ziying and left quickly until they left Jinhuayuan and passed through a verandah. Ziying, who had been holding back for a while, saw no one around and finally couldn't help but whisper for her girl. : "Girl, let's go to the outer courtyard to find the eldest young master!" The eldest young master in Ziying's mouth is of course referring to Liu Qingqing's elder brother Liu Qingyun.

Liu Qingqing had calmed down at this time. Ever since their family fell into decline and both of their parents died, she and her brother have long been accustomed to others bullying good and fearing evil, and flattering others and suppressing others. Today, Zhao's attitude just made her realize the reality again.

Why bother getting angry with this kind of person!

According to my brother, it’s not worth it!

Only those who really care about you will feel heartache for your tears. If you are in front of someone who dislikes you, even if you are dead, he will just sneer at you.

"No need." Liu Qingqing said calmly, "My brother is about to take the imperial examination. Now is the most critical moment. There is no need to bother him with such trivial matters."

"This is a small matter, girl! What else can be considered a big deal?" Ziying was so angry that she almost shed tears, worried about her girl's future.

Liu Qingqing stopped talking and just walked quietly to the west wing, with thousands of thoughts flashing through her heart...

"Ah, look, girl, that's Mr. Nangong!" Ziying's voice suddenly sounded in Liu Qingqing's ears.

Liu Qingqing raised her eyes and saw a young man walking slowly wearing a light blue brocade suit embroidered with silver thread and piping with curling cloud patterns. His face was like a crown jewel and his temperament was outstanding...

Men and women had different seats when they were seven years old. Although she stayed in Nangong Mansion for a few months, she only met Nangong Sheng once or twice and never even exchanged a word with him. But I don’t know if he is like his mother, who is in trouble? Liu Qingqing lowered her eyes slightly and thought sarcastically in her heart.

"I've met the eldest young master!" Liu Qingqing bowed, her tone neither humble nor overbearing, not intimate but not resentful.

The world is like this. Nangong Mansion is willing to take in the two brothers and sisters, and Shibo Nangong Qin is willing to take the trouble to teach his brother's homework. This is already a huge kindness. She will always remember Zhao's humiliation to her, but she will never dare to forget Shibo Nangong Qin's kindness!

When Liu Qingqing raised her eyes again, she saw Nangong Sheng looking at her with a red face, as if he didn't know how to place his hands and feet. He held back a few words for a long time: "... Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill it. Engagement. My wife can only be you!"

After saying these meaningless words, Nangong Sheng turned around in a hurry with a red face and walked towards Zhao's Jinhua Courtyard.

It seemed that he came here specially to pay respects to Mrs. Zhao, because he saw Liu Qingqing, so he chased after her.

"Girl, girl! The eldest son has completely different personalities from his mother!" Ziying said, smiling from ear to ear, "He is indeed the eldest son of Nangong Mansion."

Looking at Nangong Sheng's retreating figure for a long time, Liu Qingqing finally showed a faint smile.

It's her who's in trouble!

Although Nangong Sheng is the son of the Zhao family, he is also the son of Shibo Nangong Qin, the eldest son of the Nangong Mansion!

"Sure enough, girl, you feel the same way!" Ziying still kept talking in a loud voice, but this time, Liu Qingqing didn't think she was noisy...

Liu Qingqing glanced in the direction Nangong Sheng left again, her eyelashes half lowered and her eyes filled with light.

Nangong Sheng strode towards Jinhua Courtyard, feeling quite heavy.

He still knows his mother very well.

He just ran into Liu Qingqing on the road. Without thinking, he knew that his mother must have said something to her...

People cannot stand without faith!

If he can't even do this, what qualifications do he have to become the heir of the Nangong family!

My mother just doesn’t understand this!

Thinking of this, Nangong Sheng couldn't help but sigh and frowned.

As soon as he entered Jinhua Courtyard, a maid came to greet him and saluted: "Young Master! Madam is in the house, and my servant will take you over."

"No need, I can just go there myself." Nangong Sheng waved his hand, thinking of talking to his mother in private.

When he walked to the door of the main house, Mrs. Zhao was still complaining angrily to Nanny Ying beside her: "...This Liu Qingqing, I think she should not have been kept in the first place! They are all elders... …”

Nangong Sheng frowned, clenched his hands into fists at his sides, and deliberately said loudly: "Mom, I'm here to say hello to you!" As he spoke, he strode into the flower hall.

"Brother Sheng, you are here!" As soon as she saw Nangong Sheng, Mrs. Zhao showed a sincere smile and immediately asked the maid to serve tea.

Her eldest son studied hard and was quite talented. He was also very filial to his mother and came to pay her respects every day, which made Mrs. Zhao feel very proud.

But no matter how perfect a person is, there are flaws. Nangong Sheng is good at everything, but he is not good at all. He is too polite and almost pedantic, just like his father!

Nangong Sheng took a sip of tea, hesitated and said, "Mom, I just saw Miss Liu at the entrance of Jinhua Courtyard..."

Nangong Sheng's words made Zhao's face stiffen, and then she smiled again: "It's a coincidence. I was free today, so I called Miss Liu to ask her about her living habits." She held up the tea cup. Trying to breeze through this topic.

Liu's attitude made Nangong Sheng finally make up his mind and said straight to the point: "Mom, did you just tell the Liu girl about breaking off the engagement?"

Zhao's hand slipped and she almost dropped the teacup in her hand. After regaining her composure, she said calmly: "Brother Sheng, you are thinking too much. I just asked her to come over and have a casual chat!"

"Mom, can I still not understand you?" Nangong Sheng sighed, a solemn and solemn look appeared on his brows, "You don't have to waste all these thoughts. Your son's wife will only be Liu, and she will never be married again in this life. There might be someone else!"

"Say it again?!" Ms. Zhao finally couldn't hold on to her smile anymore, and suddenly she became furious, her eyes were red with anger, "I'm not doing this all for your own good. If you have the ability, say it again!"

Nangong Sheng did not hesitate at all, and repeated what he just said without flinching. Then, without giving Zhao a chance to speak, he saluted her again, "Mother, my son still wants to study, so I will leave first. ." After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

"You are such a traitor!" Ms. Zhao suddenly stood up and pointed at Nangong Sheng's back angrily, her voice trembling with anger.

She was dissatisfied with what Liu Qingqing said just now, and felt that she was disrespectful!

But Nangong Sheng's words really hurt her.

Ms. Zhao sat back dejectedly, murmuring with dull eyes: "I did all this for you. It seems like your mother, I am not a villain anymore."

Ms. Zhao felt very wronged. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She threw the cup at hand and said through gritted teeth: "It must be that Liu Qingqing, he must be the one who seduced my son!"

Nanny Ying next to her is an old man who has been with the Zhao family for many years. She knows her character well and echoed from the side: "That is, the eldest young master has always been the most filial to you, madam."

After venting her anger, Mrs. Zhao finally calmed down and said decisively: "No, I absolutely cannot let such a woman delay my son!"

"Then what are the eldest madam's plans..." Nanny Ying looked a little worried and said cautiously, "Looking at the eldest young master's appearance today, it is absolutely impossible for him to agree to break off the engagement!"

Ms. Zhao snorted coldly and said: "Brother Sheng can't break off the engagement, so what if Liu Qingqing takes the initiative to break off the engagement? If so, even Brother Sheng has no reason to stop me from finding a better marriage for him."

"If so, that would be for the best." Nanny Ying was not as optimistic as Mrs. Zhao and said implicitly, "But Miss Liu looks gentle, but her temper is a bit stubborn." Nanny Ying meant Yes, this Miss Liu is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and will not break off the engagement easily!

Thinking of Liu Qingqing's attitude just now, Zhao became angry again.

She will never let a disrespectful woman be her daughter-in-law!

Ms. Zhao looked determined and said to herself: "No matter what, I must find a way to terminate this engagement!"

What's more, there is Princess Mingyue Zhuyu by her side... Compared with Princess Mingyue, Liu Qingqing is as humble as a duckweed, and Princess Mingyue is the bright moon in the sky. How could his own son give up the bright moon for the duckweed!

The more Ms. Zhao thought about it, the more unwilling she became. No one could talk about all these worries hidden in her heart. It really made her feel depressed!

She hesitated for a moment, thinking that Nanny Ying was one of her own, and suddenly said: "Nanny Ying, do you still remember when you met Mrs. Pingyang Hou at Bailong Temple on the first day of last month?"

Although Mammy Ying didn’t understand why Mrs. Zhao mentioned this matter inexplicably, she still carefully picked out the good things to say: "Of course I remember. This Mrs. Pingyang Hou has such a noble status, but she treats others very kindly!"

Ms. Zhao glanced at Nanny Ying indifferently, with a slight curl in the corner of her mouth, "Do you think Mrs. Pingyang Hou is so affectionate to everyone?" Nanny Ying's vision is still a little bit behind...

Nanny Ying was stunned for a moment, showed a thoughtful expression, and asked tentatively: "Madam, do you mean it has something to do with the eldest young master?"

Ms. Zhao nodded proudly and said: "Mother Ying, you have been with me for so many years, and I won't hide it from you. If my prediction is correct, Princess Mingyue should have some feelings for Brother Sheng. Meaning...Hey, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have to be so anxious to let Brother Sheng and Liu Qingqing break off their engagement."

"Congratulations, madam! Congratulations, madam!" Nanny Ying looked happy and congratulated her continuously, "Princess Mingyue is deeply favored by the saints and has a noble status. If the young master marries her, then he will be a very poor official in his career. Got a lot of help! The future will be bright for sure!"

"That's right!" Ms. Zhao beamed, as if she had seen that scene... But Liu Qingqing was stuck in her throat like a fish bone, making it impossible for her to swallow!

Thinking about it, Mrs. Zhao frowned again and murmured: "Now we just need to let Liu Qingqing take the initiative to break off the engagement. I just hate that **** is so tough that she refuses to let go at all."

"Madam, don't worry, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. Sooner or later, there will be a solution!" Nanny Ying couldn't think of any good solution for the moment, so she could only comfort Mrs. Zhao, "Now, 'procrastination' is the best strategy. ."

"Alas!" Mrs. Zhao sighed, rubbed her brows and said, "That's all we can do."

Although the Zhao family wholeheartedly wanted to terminate the engagement between Nangong Sheng and Liu Qingqing, she was helpless and did not dare to ask Liu Qingqing to coerce her. She was afraid that her son would develop a rebellious mentality and become more alienated from her, so she could only stay put for the time being.

Nangong Mansion spent another two days peacefully like this, and then it was the day when Xuanpinghou Mansion came to Nangong Mansion to recruit people.

Unconsciously, it has been half a month since the Fourth Master Nangong Cheng got married.

Because the crown prince Lu Heng and Su Qingping caused a scandal at Nangong Cheng's wedding, although the Xuanping Marquis Mansion still agreed to marry Su Qingping back to the palace, they felt a little resentful, so they hastily prepared a betrothal gift. It was delivered here, although it looked quite glamorous on the surface, with clothes, jewelry, bride price, tea, wine... twenty-four loads full, but it was just a pretense, and in fact there was nothing good.

The Nangong Mansion and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion had the same idea. No one had the intention to organize this disgraceful wedding. They just symbolically hung red silk at the gate and sent a few people out to welcome the bride.

Mrs. Xuanping Hou personally came to visit her when discussing marriage, but this time, she only sent the housekeeper from the palace, and she didn't even bother to do anything superficial.

The servants of Nangong Mansion and Xuanping Hou Mansion were all seeing this behavior, and they became more and more convinced that the rumors at the fourth master's wedding half a month ago were true. Otherwise, how could the two families be so pretentious?

After understanding these things, the servants looked down upon Su Qingping even more. Their contempt was also vaguely reflected in the daily details. Su Qingping's daily expenses were delayed as much as possible and neglected as much as possible. neglect.

Su Qingping saw everything, and of course she wanted to rush to the Su family immediately to complain. However, her stepmother Liu placed a grounding order on her. She only went with Liu family to pay respects to the Su family every day in the morning and evening. Unable to go out at all!

Damn it!

I didn’t expect that I would still be shackled by the Liu family in this Nangong Mansion!

Su Qingping's anger finally burst out when she received the betrothal gift list from the Xuanping Hou Mansion.

"Is this the betrothal gift sent by the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?" Su Qingping was so angry that she trembled all over and yelled at Liu Rong, "No matter what, I was married to the prince's wife, so they just use this to get rid of me. Me?!"

Are you sending such a shabby betrothal gift to a beggar?

Originally, Su Qingping was not willing to marry to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. Now, didn't the Xuanping Marquis Mansion's gesture make it clear that they looked down on her?

What’s the point of marrying like this? !

Liu Rong stood aside shivering, not daring to say a word. She knew that no matter what she said now, Su Qingping would turn her anger on her. Although she is loyal, she is not a fool.

The more Su Qingping thought about it, the angrier she became. She stood up and swept everything on the table to the floor, leaving a mess all over the floor.

Liu Rong did not dare to dodge at all, and let the residue of the cup and pot splash on her, motionless...

But until Su Qingping made the house full of mess, nothing was intact anymore, and no one cared about it at all.

A rough lady in the yard smacked her lips in disdain and quietly went to report to Su Shi what was happening over at Su Qingping.

However, Mrs. Su just raised her eyes indifferently and said calmly: "Let her make trouble! Our Nangong Mansion can still afford to break this thing!" After that, she closed the door. Eyes, as if indifferent to everything.

After receiving Su's reply, the mother-in-law knew how to treat Su Qingping, so she retreated.

When Su Qingping finished venting and was panting from exhaustion, several women and maids brought new things and tidied up the messy room in a well-trained manner. In just one stick of incense, everything was as new as before. new.

But throughout the whole process, no one spoke to Su Qingping, and everyone retreated with lowered eyebrows and bowed heads...

This made Su Qingping feel even more resentful. She just felt that everyone wanted to see her show!

The betrothal gift was given and the wedding date was set.

But Su Qingping didn't feel the joy of getting married at all. Overnight, she seemed to suddenly turn into a wooden person, and she couldn't hold back a word all day long.

Although Mrs. Liu is Su Qingping's stepmother, she should be the one to handle the marriage. But now that she is in Nangong Mansion, everything is inconvenient, so Mrs. Su ordered the head of the house, Mrs. Zhao, to handle Su Qingping's marriage. She also went out of her way to Grandma Wang was sent to help her.

After only a few days, Su Qingping offended the Zhao family and Grandma Wang all over.

On the first day, the steward of Zhao’s courtyard specially invited a tailor to tailor her wedding dress...

On the second day, Grandma Wang brought a jewelry list to discuss with her the phoenix crown and dowry jewelry on the wedding day...

On the third day, Nanny Ying came to discuss with her the dowry quilt, curtain, and ruler...

But every time everyone came, she remained silent, as if she wanted to resist.

This girl Su Biao behaves so coquettishly, as if everyone feels sorry for her, she is totally disrespectful! This is what everyone is thinking and remembering in their hearts.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Su called Mrs. Zhao over and asked, "Boss, wife, do you have an idea of ​​who the maid will be for Sister Ping?"

It's okay if Su didn't ask. This question seemed to open a gap in Zhao's heart. Zhao's complaints poured out incessantly, and he recounted what happened in the past few days with added detail. Finally, She took a list from Nanny Ying and presented it to Mrs. Su, saying: "Mom, this is the list of maids that my wife has prepared for Cousin Ping, but I guess Cousin Ping is too lazy to pay attention to it. Since my mother happened to ask When she got up, the daughter-in-law had the audacity to ask her mother for advice."

Mrs. Su quickly glanced at the list and said calmly: "Since she doesn't care about anything, then you can discuss it with my uncle. My uncle is the cousin's mother, and she must be happy to do her best for her daughter. !" Mrs. Su was very unhappy, feeling that her aunt no longer had a choice, but Sister Ping was still so ignorant, which made her extremely disappointed!

Ms. Zhao’s eyes suddenly lit up and she felt that Su’s idea was really good. She blessed her body and said, “Thank you, mother, for your advice!”

"As for the choice of the maidservant...the eldest daughter-in-law, I want to change it!" Su's eyebrows moved slightly, and the scene when her second son came to see her last night came to mind.

At first, Mrs. Zhao thought that Mrs. Su wanted to pick a maid from Rongan Hall to add to the list of maids to be dowed, but she didn't expect that the candidate named by Mrs. Su was completely beyond her expectation...

Interesting! Zhao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, naturally she had no objection.

After that, the progress of the wedding became smoother - with Su, Zhao discussed everything with Liu, but Liu didn't care at all about Su Qingping's marriage and everything was agreed upon. As for Su Qingping's dissatisfaction and whether she likes it or not, it is not within the scope of everyone's attention.

On this day, Su Qingping was dragged by Mrs. Liu and Su Qingrong to pay respects to Mr. Su early in the morning.

In addition to Su, there were also Zhao and several young and beautiful maids in the Dongci room of Rongan Hall. Liu glanced at them casually and didn't pay attention.

Su Qingping, on the other hand, trembled all over and glared fiercely at Ruyi behind Zhao with a tiger-like gaze.

As you wish! How dare this **** show up!

Su Qingping really wanted to rush forward and slap Ruyi **** the face, but this was Rongan Hall, how could she be so arrogant? What's more, in what name can she teach Ruyi a lesson? It can't be said that her bribery failed, but she harmed herself, right?

After several people greeted Su, Su asked them to sit down aside. Su Qingping was a little restless because she was worried. But after she calmed down a little, she felt something was wrong. If Ruyi was here, why was Mrs. Lin not there?

Mrs. Su and Ms. Liu exchanged some pleasantries and then got down to business: "Brothers and sisters, Sister Ping's wedding is coming soon, but she only has one maid, Liu Rong, by her side. I think she is a little too thin. I bought some for her. No, her two sisters-in-law heard about it and wanted to help Sister Ping, so they sent two maids over." As she said that, she looked at the two maids behind Zhao. He glanced at her and said, "Ruyi, Xuan'er, why don't you come out and meet your new master!"

Ruyi and Xuan'er immediately stood up, respectfully saluted Mrs. Liu and Su Qingping, and changed their words: "I've seen the madam, I've seen the girl!"

Su Qingping was dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and simply didn't understand what was going on.

"Everyone, get up." Mrs. Liu said quickly, feeling that this aunt was too kind to Su Qingping, but after thinking about it, she was glad that she had saved another fortune. She looked at Ruyi and Xuan'er casually, and suddenly felt that Ruyi looked familiar. This seems to be the eldest maid of Lin, the second wife of Nangong Mansion, right? Lin even gave his maid to Su Qingping. Does this mean that the two of them really have a good relationship? Or is there something hidden in it?

Not only Mrs. Liu was speculating, but Mrs. Zhao was also curious. On that day, Mrs. Su asked Mrs. Zhao to pick a maid from her courtyard to be Su Qingping's dowry maid. Naturally, Mrs. Zhao was In response, Xuan'er, a third-class maid from Jinhuayuan, was promoted to second-class maid and sent over. Su knew this very well, but she didn't say anything. This was not a gift to Su Qingping in the first place, but just to make the second child's request seem reasonable.

Zhao didn’t dare to ask Su, so she went to find Lin, but Lin only vaguely said that it was Ruyi’s wish... A maid invited herself to be a dowry maid for her cousin? Is it possible that Ruyi is still going to his aunt?

Zhao thought sarcastically, thinking she had found the answer.

Everyone had different thoughts. At this time, Su Qingping and Mrs. Liu didn't even realize that although Ruyi and Xuan'er said they had a new master, the bond of sale was still in the hands of Nangong Mansion!

……

"Third Miss, you really should see Miss Su Biao's expression with your own eyes!"

Quie'er said vividly, feeling that Su Qingping and Ruyi simply brought it upon themselves, which was very satisfying!

At this time, Yimei Gang served Nangong Yue and put on her cloak, then picked up the mahogany food box beside her and said, "Miss Three, everything is ready."

Nangong Yue smiled faintly, rewarded Que'er with a silver nugget, and asked her to retreat.

She no longer cared about Su Qingping's matter, but today she learned that her father had fulfilled his promise, which made her feel a little lighter.

After that, Nangong Yue left the house with Yimei and Baihui, and first went to Qingyue Tea House.

"Three girls!"

As soon as Shopkeeper Wang saw the two of them, he immediately welcomed them into a private dining room with a smile on his face, and even poured a cup of hot tea for Nangong Yue himself.

"Third girl, please drink tea."

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Wang." Nangong Yue sat down and took a sip of tea before explaining her purpose, "Shopkeeper Wang, I'm here to deliver medicine." Both of them knew who the medicine was for. .

Yimei opened the food box in her hand, took out two white jade bottles and handed them to shopkeeper Wang.

"Thank you, girl." Shopkeeper Wang took it solemnly.

Nangong Yue hesitated for a moment. In fact, she did not have to deliver the medicine to Qingyue Tea House in person. It was the same for Bai Hui Lily to be delivered to the little maid Mugwort in Yaoyueju.

She came here mainly to express her gratitude, "Shopkeeper Wang, one more thing, please thank Mr. Rong for the reminder last time!" Nangong Yue was of course talking about Guan Yubai's special letter to inform her of Huaibei. Regarding the refugee issue, although this letter came a little late, she was still very grateful to Guan Yubai for his kindness...

"You are so polite, girl. I will definitely convey it to you." Shopkeeper Wang probably knew what Nangong Yue was talking about, so he hurriedly agreed. Then, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Girl, please sit down for a moment. I'll be back soon."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wang."

Shopkeeper Wang came back soon, but he had a wooden red lacquer box in his hand. The box was not big, but about the size of a palm. The surface of the box was carved with complicated patterns, making it look simple and elegant.

Shopkeeper Wang handed the red lacquer box to Nangong Yue and said: "Third Miss, our son sent this to someone a few days ago, saying that it was to be handed over to the girl."

Nangong Yue was a little surprised. She was stunned for a moment and did not refuse: "Then thank you young master for me!" Guan Yubai went all the way to send him this box, which must have been his intention.

Afterwards, Nangong Yue bought another box of Tieguanyin before leaving Qingyue Tea House and getting on the carriage.

"Brother Furong, go to the shop!" Yimei put down the curtain and said to the coachman.

"Yes, Miss Yimei." The carriage moved forward with a clatter as the driver responded.

Nangong Yue took out the wooden box that Guan Yu gave him for free from his sleeve and opened it carefully.

"This is..." Yimei also came over, her forehead twitching.

Why did Mr. Rong give this to his girl?
