The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Late at night, the moon is as cold as water.

Xue Mingyue was lying on the bed, tossing and turning. She had been brewing for half the night but could not find sleep. She just stared at the bed curtain. After a while, she couldn't help but turned over and stared at the wall instead.

Now whenever she closes her eyes, she will remember Xie Lang leaning down and kissing her.

After being pushed away by her violently, his pleasant low laughter still fell in her ears.

Xue Mingyue pulled up the quilt and covered her head in frustration. Even if He Lishu hadn't arrived yet, Xie Lang was getting more and more aggressive. If he dared to kiss her today, would he be able to sleep in the room tomorrow?

She could reject him once or twice, how could she continue to reject him?

Xue Mingyue pursed her lips tightly and popped her head out of the quilt worriedly. It seemed that she would like to let Lidong stay at the door when she slept at night... Oh no, Lidong was also sent by him, so she might listen to him more.

"Ah-"

Xie Lang was simply the most annoying person in the entire Jin Dynasty.

She never wants to interact with him again in her life!

Xue Mingyue was upset. She always felt that Xie Lang was laughing in her ear, and she couldn't close her eyes and fall asleep all night. When Liuyun came into the room with a copper basin and asked people to get up and wash up, as soon as he opened the bed curtain, he saw her with messy hair and a haggard face, sitting in the middle of the bed wrapped in a quilt.

Liu Yun was startled: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Mingyue shook her head weakly: "I'm fine. Help me get the box containing the land deed of the farm and take a look."

Liuyun quickly took out the box and handed it to her.

With a distressed look on his face, he twisted the handkerchief and wiped her face and hands. He looked at the faint greenness in her eyes and said, "Miss, you won't be awake all night, right? Next time you can't sleep, you can put Liu Xing and me together." I called here to relieve my boredom."

"It's okay, there's just something I can't figure out."

Xue Mingyue comforted absentmindedly.

The box contains all the dowry left by her mother. Of course it has become her dowry now, but there is not much left in it. There are only a few poorly run shops and a farm left. .

Her mother died early, and most of the dowry was used by Xue Xujun.

And now, almost all the money she has saved has been invested in sugar, teahouses and theater troupes, and she doesn't have much money left. If she really gets into trouble with Xie Lang, she really has no place to go except the Xue family. go.

Seeing her looking lonely holding the box, Liuyun's nose suddenly became sour.

She knew the young lady's plan. Since the young lady said she wanted to make peace with the Marquis, she really wanted to make peace with him without leaving any way out. Liu Yun said firmly: "If Miss needs money, I have saved some money here and can give it to Miss."

Xue Mingyue suddenly laughed when she heard this: "I'm not that short of money yet."

Xue Mingyue came back from her thoughts, reached out and pinched the girl's face, curved her lips and said with a smile: "Miss, I have many ways to bring in money. You can save your money and you will definitely need it in the future."

"Can……"

"Miss! Miss!"

At this moment, Liu Xing's panicked voice suddenly sounded outside the house.

Liu Xing ran in panting, and handed a greeting card to her as if facing an enemy, gasping: "This is a message from the Second Princess to you! Xiao Liu said that it was sent here early in the morning. !”

Liuyun said in surprise: "Who?"

Xue Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then took the post and glanced at it with a slightly solemn expression. The signature was indeed the Second Prince's Mansion.

It was written that it had been many days since the palace banquet ended, and the second princess missed her very much, so she invited her to go out for a party. The location was at a teahouse in Linhe, East City, and the time was scheduled to be noon today.

Xue Mingyue frowned and looked over the invitation twice.

She couldn't figure out why the second prince's concubine asked her out. After all, she had never spoken to the second prince's concubine at the palace banquet that day. Talking about missing her was an excuse at first sight. If the other party didn't come for her, then he could only come for the Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

I just don't know if the other party is here for the Yan family's affairs or for something else.

Xue Mingyue rubbed her forehead in frustration.

The most annoying thing is dealing with people you don't know.

She closed the invitation and handed it to Liu Xing, and said: "Go to Wuhou's shop on Tianjie near the city gate and give this to the Marquis. Liuyun, go and ask the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water. I want to take a shower and change clothes." .”

Liu Xing heard the solemnity in her words, sighed, quickly picked up the invitation and ran out.

It didn't take long for Xue Mingyue to receive a reply from Xie Lang.

——No need to worry, just do whatever you want, I will take care of everything, Xie Jinglan.

Seeing him say this, Xue Mingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Xie Lang dared to ask her to please the second prince's concubine or deliberately give the second prince's concubine a cold face, then she would simply complain that she was ill. But at least it can be seen from this that he did not accept the second prince's solicitation.

Liu Xing looked at her face and said cautiously: "Um...Miss, the Marquis asked you to reply to him."

Xue Mingyue: "...?"

·

It takes two-quarters of an hour by carriage to get from the Marquis Mansion to the teahouse.

Xue Mingyue set off from the Hou Mansion at the right time. It was almost noon when the three masters and servants arrived at the teahouse. Lidong jumped out of the carriage first and stood outside to help her get out of the carriage, closely followed by Liu Yun.

This time she didn't bring Liu Xing out, but asked her to deal with the tea house.

As soon as the group entered the tea house, they saw a person who looked like a shopkeeper approaching. He nodded and bowed with a smile and said, "This must be Mrs. Dingyuan Hou. Your distinguished guest has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come here."

Xue Mingyue raised her eyebrows and hummed lightly.

The shopkeeper took them directly to the innermost box on the second floor. When he reached the door, he stopped in time and called in. Then a woman's sweet laughter came from inside: "Oh, my sister is here, come in quickly." .”

Xue Mingyue reacted for a moment, then suddenly realized that the sister was calling her.

She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly mockingly. The second prince's concubine had never given her a good look in the past. She had always been polite and did not take anyone seriously. At this moment, no one was seen, but they were shouting affectionately.

Xue Mingyue sighed in her heart, but it didn't show on her face. After entering the room, she bowed first: "I've seen the second prince's concubine."

The second princess asked in surprise: "Sister, why is this happening? Why do we need to be so different between you and me?"

"Takezhi, please help Madam up quickly."

"Yes, Princess."

The maid standing nearby stepped forward immediately.

Xue Mingyue didn't let others get close and calmly retracted her hand.

As expected, this person still had the same attitude as before, talking verbally but actually not even moving.

She sighed in her heart, rolled her eyes, smiled lightly at the second prince and said, "The gift cannot be neglected. This is a newly developed snack by the chef at home. It goes well with tea."

She winked at Liu Yun, who immediately stepped forward and put the food box on the table.

The second princess smiled and took a sip of tea, shook her head and said: "You, you, you are here. What gifts do you bring? Come and sit down. The city is very lively at this time. I want to find someone to talk to." ”

"Has my sister heard about the Yan family and the General's Mansion?"
