Chapter 95
Xiao Qingyan lowered her head, rubbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, and tightly pursed her lips.

They greeted their aunt and grandma just now, and she hadn't mentioned to her mother about the invitation to Prince Qing's Mansion, so her mother called everyone around her to lecture her, saying that before the flower banquet in Prince Qing's Mansion, no one could get a post from the General's Mansion. Spread the word, otherwise, the whole family will sell it.

She understood that her mother was afraid that the news would spread back to the mansion, and the eldest aunt and second aunt would come to embarrass the seventh sister again.But she didn't understand why her mother prevented her from getting close to her seventh sister.

Seeing Xiao Qingyan like this, Mrs. Ren was so angry that she turned around and sat on the chair. She stroked her chest with one hand and pressed her temple with the other: "Okay, if you can't listen to what I said, then tell me Me, what do you think?"

Xiao Qingyan clenched her hands tightly, as if she had made up her mind, she raised her head, looked at Mrs. Ren, and asked, "Mother, why didn't you let me go to the Seventh Sister, she and I are cousins."

Mrs. Ren sneered twice: "So what? Your grandfather and her grandfather are still brothers."

But later, for the sake of a title, my father-in-law didn't care about the kinship, not only took the title and the family business, but also spared no effort to suppress the fourth uncle.

"However, Seventh Sister is not as indifferent as I imagined. You see, I was injured, and she gave me Scar Nourishing Cream without saying a word. I want to make friends with her, what's wrong?"

Xiao Qingyan didn't know much about the grievances between her family and the General's Mansion, but she also knew that the title originally belonged to her fourth cousin, but in the end it fell on her grandfather's head.But the grievances and grievances of the previous generation belong to a generation, so what does it have to do with their generation.

Mrs. Ren accuses unceremoniously: "She gave it to you, and she is willing; but right now, if you have other intentions to approach her, then you have ulterior motives!"

Xiao Qingyan's eyes widened, she was very unhappy: "Sister Seven thinks of me like this?"

Mrs. Ren looked at her calmly, "Then what do people think of you? You are kind to you. You don't feel grateful, but think about taking advantage of her again and again. , isn’t this called ulterior motives?”

Mrs. Ren's words were a little heavy.Xiao Qingyan was hurt by these words, and she looked excited: "Mother, how can you think of me like this."

"Didn't you want to go with her to Prince Qing's mansion?" Mrs. Ren asked back.

Xiao Qingyan was a little flustered by the words, but she didn't think she was wrong, it was just a trivial matter, Seventh Sister could do it with a little effort, why not.

Mrs. Ren knew the grievances between the two prefectures, and the eldest aunt had a long-standing resentment towards the Hou's mansion, so how could she easily give such a good opportunity to the Hou's mansion.Right now, Seventh Sister is kind to them, and they have to be affectionate and stick to their duty in order to keep this kindness going.Of course, these words are related to the fault of the elders, and they cannot be said to the sixth sister, she can only start from other places.

Mrs. Ren sneered, and exposed Xiao Qingyan's fantasy: "So what if you go, can you make friends with similar interests, or can your grandmother look at you high after you return home?"

"Mother." Xiao Qingyan was about to cry, her little face flushed with shame.

She really thought so, if she could go to Prince Qing's Mansion for a banquet, her grandmother and cousins ​​would definitely envy her, if she met a friend with similar interests, wouldn't that be icing on the cake?
Mrs. Ren stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Qingyan to her side, patted her on the back and comforted her: "Sixth sister, why are you so naive? There are not many people who can receive the message from the little princess, it must be from each family. Noble girl, if you throw in your identity as the seventh younger sister, I'm afraid she will be at the bottom, but she saved Miss Ding, and Miss Ding will definitely protect her, but who will protect you? If you really go, Your grandmother will only dislike you even more. How can she allow you to step on the fourth and fifth sisters, and even the third sister has more face than you in front of her. "

Can the children of the concubine be the same as the children of the concubine?

Xiao Qingyan bit her lip and said unwillingly: "If I make a noble friend..."

Mrs. Ren shook her head: "There are so many noble girls in the royal palace's flower banquet. Your seventh sister is probably at the bottom of the list, but she won the emperor's approval and saved Miss Ding. Others will naturally look up to her. But you You are just the concubine of the Hou Mansion and the daughter of a fifth-rank official. Do you think you have something worthy of being respected and befriended by others? Even if you are destined to have a noble person and make noble friends, in your grandmother's eyes, it is nothing more than Become valuable, and she will have more reason to control your marriage."

Sentence by sentence, well organized, not only Xiao Qingyan turned pale, but even Xiao Mingzhu, who was peeking, couldn't help nodding.

Sure enough, Aunt Qiao said that this third aunt is a transparent mind.

Xiao Qingyan tightly grasped Mrs. Ren's sleeve, her voice trembling: "Mother..."

The fifth sister is the second daughter of the Hou Mansion, but she promised a concubine's eldest son; if her marriage was decided by the grandmother, it would be so good.

"Don't worry," Mrs. Ren said, "Your father has chosen his eldest son of the same age, and he will come to Beijing with his mother next month. Then I will find a reason to take you out for a meeting. If it is suitable, I will make an appointment. At this juncture, don't make any more troubles, just take advantage of your injury and avoid it for the time being."

"Mother." Xiao Qingyan was ashamed and annoyed, stomped her feet, covered her face and hid in the inner room.

Mrs. Ren got up to stop her, and then said in a low voice: "Miss Ming is also poor, your aunt and grandma have a heart-to-heart relationship, and she only cares about her for face, you have to think of her kindness to you, If she needs help in the future, you will help her, and this will fulfill your sisterly friendship."

"En." Xiao Qingyan was very puzzled, but she didn't ask any further questions, and replied: "I have the opportunity, and I would like to thank Seventh Sister."

Mrs. Ren reached out to stroke her hair and smiled approvingly.

Xiao Mingzhu asked 008 to cut off the camera. She looked up at the blue sky and forced back the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

It's nice to have a mother.

If her mother was still alive, would she still protect her in front of her grandmother, and plan carefully for her happiness in private?

"Girl. Is that enough?" Zhichun saw the lonely expression on Xiao Mingzhu's face, and hurried over to talk to her.

Looking down at the basket of maple leaves, Xiao Mingzhu nodded: "That's enough, let's go back."

In the afternoon, Juan'er came in quietly to report that the third girl was ordered by Mrs. Lao Hou to deliver something to Mrs. Ren.

Xiao Mingzhu probably guessed it too, Mrs. Laohou also knew that leaving the third aunt and sixth sister in the general's mansion was tantamount to two pawns being blinded, but she had to take advantage of this opportunity to give Xiao Qinghe a reason to come over.

If not, the little girl guarding the gate came to report that Xiao Qinghe wanted to see her.

"No." Xiao Mingzhu refused very simply.

Anyway, if you want to tear your face, you might as well stop acting from the beginning.
