Time quickly came to the second day.

When Hua Jinxiu got up, there was no one around her as usual.

She rubbed her painful eyebrows and raised her eyes to look at the sky outside.

She couldn't sleep anymore. If she slept any longer, she felt like she would turn into a pig.

She had just woken up, but Bai Xingzhi had already finished her meal with Mrs. Xia and was wandering in the garden of the General's Mansion.

At this time, Myolie had just passed by with a meal and bowed respectfully to the two of them.

Mrs. Xia always felt that Xing'er looked a little familiar, as if she had just seen her yesterday.

Where is it?

She was thinking in her mind, so she remained silent.

Xing'er here looked at the old lady with no intention of speaking, nor did she get up, silently waiting for the old lady to speak.

Mrs. Xia remembered that Xing'er was the maid next to Hu Meizi yesterday.

"Your master is the concubine that Shang'er just took in," Mrs. Xia asked.

When Xing'er heard this, her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show any signs of it on her face. She respectfully replied to Mrs. Xia: "Yes, Mrs. Xia."

"Your master, are you having dinner now? What time is it?"

After hearing this, Xing'er didn't dare to speak out.

Mrs. Xia snorted coldly.

"If you can't get on the table, you can't get on the table. It's only now that you get up to eat."

Myolie continued to remain silent after hearing this.

At this time, it was not appropriate for her to say anything. She could only kneel down and wait for Mrs. Xia to finish speaking before leaving.

However, if Mrs. Xia had delayed longer, the food would have been completely cold.

"Xingzhi, have you seen that this person without a tutor is not as good as you?" As she said this, Mrs. Xia looked at Bai Xingzhi, her eyes full of satisfaction.

Bai Xingzhi came to Mrs. Xia's yard early, and Mrs. Xia didn't get up at that time.

However, Bai Xingzhi also told Lian Zhi not to disturb Mrs. Xia and to wait until Mrs. Xia woke up naturally.

Bai Xingzhi smiled shyly when he heard this and said nothing.

"Forget it, I can't stand this. Go ahead and tell your master that next time you eat at this time, there won't be any separate meal preparations in the kitchen."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xia took the lead and left with Bai Xingzhi.

When Myolie here went back, it was not too late. At least, the food she was carrying was still warm and not yet cool.

Hua Jinxiu, who was waiting for Chuntao, was a little confused when she saw her coming back so late.

"Myolie, why are you so late?"

After hearing this, Xing'er placed the food on the table one by one before speaking.

"Aunt Hua, when I was serving you the food, I met the old lady and Miss Bai in the garden, so it was delayed a bit."

"Then the old lady recognized you as the person next to me?"

Myolie nodded after hearing this.

Hua Jinxiu responded softly and stood up.

"Okay, as long as it's not too late," she said, lifting her steps and sitting at the table.

After hearing this, Xing'er remembered what she had just forgotten.

"Aunt Hua, the old lady asked this servant to tell you that next time you get up so late, your food will not be cooked in the kitchen," Myolie said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Hua Jinxiu was about to slap her hand with chopsticks.

"okay, I get it"

This old woman, who does she blame for getting up so late? She must blame her grandson!

What kind of force are you exerting on yourself now?

When Xing'er heard this, she told everything that had happened before.

Hua Jinxiu was silent for a while after hearing what Xing'er said.

"Myolie, next time when you talk, remember to say it from beginning to end, don't say it separately."

To put it this way, she felt that she would have to be angry three times.

However, she felt that there was no need to be angry.

Forget it, just eat by yourself, she is already hungry.

At noon, Xia Shang, who had just returned home, was spotted by Lu Qi in the old lady's yard.

"General Xia, the old lady has invited the general to come with us for dinner."

Xia Shang frowned when he heard this.

grandmother?

Invite yourself to have a meal?

How could this happen?

"Okay, I understand, General"

After Xia Shang finished speaking, he spoke to the guards behind him, then turned around and left with Lu Qi.

He asked the guard to tell Hua Jinxiu that he was going to eat at the old lady's place and told her not to wait for him.

Hua Jinxiu here smiled when she heard the guard's order, knowing that she knew it.

It seemed that his guess was correct. Since Bai Xingzhi was at the old lady's place, if Xia Shang came back at noon, the old lady would invite him to have a meal.

It seems that this battle has begun, but I don't know who is better between the two of them.

When Xia Shang came to Madam Xia's courtyard, he saw Bai Xingzhi sitting next to Madam Xia.

He instantly understood what his grandmother meant.

He turned around and wanted to leave, but Mrs. Xia over there had already seen him.

"Shang'er, come and sit here. You're already here. What do you want to do?"

After hearing her words, Xia Shang turned around helplessly and walked over.

Xia Tian, ​​who had always been a transparent person on the side, couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw his brother acting like this.

What a miserable first brother, his grandmother had to bring him together with Bai Xingzhi, who looked a bit like a white lotus.

Although she felt that Bai Xingzhi's marriage to their Xia family would not have any impact on her, she just didn't like her.

"grandmother"

"Well, I came back a little early today."

Xia Shang responded when he heard this. "Yes, I finished training earlier today."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xia looked at him.

"You don't want to finish it early and go see Aunt Hua, right?"

Xia Shang was silent for a while after hearing this.

However, sometimes, silence means that what the other person said is right.

"Hey~ The children I raised by myself are unwilling to share a meal with me in the end. Even after the meal, they all have a droopy and bitter face."

After hearing this, Xia Shang's eyes moved slightly and he looked at Mrs. Xia.

"Grandma, my grandson doesn't have that. My grandson always has this expression on his face. When you say this now, aren't you mocking your grandson?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xia shook her head.

"No way, Shang'er just arrived, why did he turn around and leave?"

Xia Shang was silent again after hearing this.

He couldn't say that it was because he saw Bai Xingzhi next to her that he understood his grandmother's intentions and wanted to leave, right?

However, his silence did not mean that Mrs. Xia had nothing to say.

"Is it because of Zhi'er? You saw her next to me, so you turned around and left after taking a look?" After Mrs. Xia said this, she glanced at him.

"You're afraid that I, an old woman, will arrange for you to meet someone, right?"
