Aunt Xue of the Red Chamber is not easy to mess with

Wang Wan looked at this farce with cold eyes, and was extremely heartbroken. Sister Rong suddenly raised her head, looked at Shi Shi and Wang Wan and said, "Rong'er knows that Auntie is doing it for Rong'er's own good. Complete?" He actually knelt down straight to Wang Wan.

Wang Wan was taken aback. If she wants to get married, she can get married. Can others stop her?What does it matter to her?Wang Wan laughed angrily, and said straightly: "What are you doing on your knees? Get up quickly." As she spoke, she motioned for Qiao Zhu to help her up.

But she didn't want Sister Rong to kneel on the ground obstinately, looking straight at Wang Wan, and said, "Please ask my aunt to help you."

"Oh, this is really weird. You can marry if you want, and I can stop you." She was not a good-tempered person, but now she is being persecuted like this, it is really uncomfortable. Refreshingly, he frowned suspiciously, glanced at the silent Shi Shi and the dodgy Feng Shi again, squinted his eyes, suddenly smelled the smell of conspiracy, and said softly, "What do you need me to do?"

Wang Jiangrong pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, but Wang Jiangyi couldn't help but said, "It's about Xia..."

"Shut up!" Wang Jiangrong yelled suddenly, Wang Jiangyi was startled, she pursed her lips and stood obediently behind.

Wang Wan would be too stupid if she still couldn't see clearly, she said softly, "Xia what?" She had a bad feeling, and said, "But what request did the Qi family make?" Someone related to her?Still surnamed Xia?Could it be Xia Wan'er?

"Just tell me." Wang Wan asked coldly, if it was really about Xia Wan'er, it would be interesting, but I don't know what the relationship between the Qi family and the Xia family is.

"Aunt..." Wang Jiangrong hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip, and said, "How did the Xia family die?"

Wang Wan had an expression on her face, her pupils constricted, she clenched her fists secretly, so as not to let her voice tremble a little, and said: "This is a family matter of the Xue family." What does it have to do with you.

Wang Jiangrong took a deep breath before saying slowly, "Auntie, I am asking about this for your sake."

Wang Wan sneered, quite dissatisfied, for her own sake, why bother to involve others, but Wang Wan also wanted to know why they came to ask about Xia Wan'er.

"I said sister." Feng was very anxious, she pulled Wang Jiangrong back, and said earnestly: "Do you know who is the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang? And where is the wife of the eldest son of the Marquis of Xiangyang?" Feng The family didn't wait for Wang Wan to speak, and said: "Mrs. Xiangyang Hou was born in the Xia family. She is the younger sister of the first-line relative of the inspector Yushi. The little Xia family in your house should also call Mrs. Xiangyang Hou an aunt, and the elder sister Young master, he is marrying the niece of Mrs. Xiangyang Marquis, who is also the elder sister of Xiao Xia."

Wang Wan was stunned for a moment, her eyes flashed, and her flustered heart slowly settled down. She thought that things might be really tricky. She didn't know much about the aristocratic circles in Beijing. Xia Wan'er has been living in the world, but none of the married aunts of Xia's family has helped her. Now it's a good thing, now that everything is settled, she came out at this time, isn't it just to find trouble.

It's just that the Marquis of Xiangyang... the one who put it nicely is the Hou family. A Xue family can't afford to offend. Then Wang Wan raised her eyebrows again, so what if they pursue it?Xia Wan'er is a girl bought by her own family, so she is not afraid of Bo Gongtang.

A smile slowly appeared on Wang Wan's face, she looked at Feng Shi and smiled softly: "I think it's something, so it's this." She shook her veil, looked at Wang Jiangrong and said, "Yes Did the Qi family ask you to ask?"

Wang Jiangrong nodded, and then said: "Madam Qi said, as long as I ask about the situation of the Xia family in my aunt's family, I will let the official media come to the house to propose marriage."

Wang Wan twitched her lips mockingly, looked at Wang Jiangrong and said softly: "The Qi family behaves like this, are you still willing to marry into the Qi family?"

Wang Jiangrong raised her head, looked at Wang Wan and said, "Auntie, I don't need you." She was silent for a moment, and then said: "I don't want to live under the hedge of others, the Qi family is very good, at least it was carried in eight palanquins , mother and sister also have someone to rely on."

Hearing this, Shi couldn't help frowning and said: "I'm talking about my eldest niece, I don't like hearing your words anymore. What do you mean by being under the fence? This really hurts our hearts."

Wang Jiangyi was just silent and didn't speak. Wang Wan didn't see any joy in those eyes, but when she looked at Feng's mother and son, she couldn't help sighing, then she looked at her and said, "This is a matter. Guan Xue’s family is a secret, so I can’t tell them.” She is powerless, she can’t tell them that your niece and your sister Xia Wan’er were beaten to death with sticks because of poisoning her husband. .

There was pleading in Wang Jiangrong's eyes, but Wang Wan was unmoved, and she nodded after a long while, feeling a little disappointed.

Only then did Wang Wan look at Feng Shi, and said: "I mean younger siblings, today is Bao girl's birthday anyway, if you are still entangled in this matter, don't blame me for being rude." After speaking, let Qiao Zhu and others Put the table up.

"Where is the master?" Wang Wan asked Qiao Cui softly, the little girl looked at Feng's and the others as if her gaze had been poisoned, she pouted, and said, "Madam, don't worry, the master is with Mr. Cui." , the seats have already been opened."

Only then did Wang Wan nod her head, and Nanny Li carried out Baochai, who was wearing a big red dress, and greeted her obediently, she looked particularly festive today, with a round, chubby little face hanging There are two small dimples, full of smiles, causing Wang Wan to hug and shout her heart and soul.

Under the watchful eye of Shi Shi, Mrs. Feng didn't make any fuss. After dinner, she sat together and listened to the play, and then left. Feeling helpless, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, she sat up straight.

Qiaozhu leaned forward, held the lamp, and asked suspiciously: "Madam? What's the matter?"

"No, I have to go and see the master." As he said that, he asked someone to wait for him to change his clothes.

"It's so late." Qiaozhu was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's still the first month, it's very cold at night, what should I do if I'm freezing?"

"It's okay." Wang Wan waved her hand, put on her shoes, and said, "If you don't ask about this matter, you don't need to sleep tonight." After tidying up, Wang Wan walked out.

Walking to the study room, Xue Cheng had just got dressed, and when he saw her, he frowned and said, "It's so cold, is there anything you can't do tomorrow?" Then he took out a cloak and put it on Wang Wan. Pursing her lips, she walked in and said, "There are some things I need to discuss with you." After saying that, she asked the girl to wait outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Xue Cheng poured water and handed it to Wang Wan's hand, saying, "Warm it up."

Wang Wan frowned, somewhat resisting Xue Cheng's warmth, coughed lightly, and said, "Do you know the Qi family of the Marquis of Xiangyang?"

Xue Cheng thought for a moment, and then said: "Their family is just relying on the shadow of their ancestors to survive." He spoke with a look of disdain, and said: "Nowadays, most of the children are not motivated, and most of them are dudes. Can it be passed on?"

Wang Wan was a little surprised, the words coming out of Xue Cheng's mouth could not be called innocuous, she blinked her eyes, and asked hesitantly: "You seem to dislike them particularly?"

Xue Cheng was silent and did not speak.

Wang Wan pursed her lips, and asked after a while: "Is it because of Xia Wan'er?" Only this reason can explain it. Wang Wan stood up, looked at Xue Cheng and said, "Since you already know, I also To be honest, I heard that Mrs. Qi is the aunt of the Xia family, and now she seems to want to seek justice for the Xia family."

"There's no justice." Xue Cheng snorted coldly, looked at Wang Wan and said, "The Xia family murdered the patriarch, this is already a conclusion."

Wang Wan looked at Xue Cheng, and was somewhat puzzled by his attitude. When he mentioned the Qi family, his face was full of disgust, obviously because of Xia Wan'er, but now that the Qi family wanted to get justice for Xia Wan'er, he suppressed it again. Not to mention, perhaps, this is also good.

Seeing her expression, Xue Cheng patted her arm, and said in a gentle voice, "You don't have to think too much, Wan'er was sold into the mansion, and she has already been enslaved, so you don't have to worry." Holding the candlestick, she was silent for a while and then said: "As for the Qi family, they hid faster than anyone else when Wan'er was in trouble, so what qualifications do they have to seek justice for her now?"

Wang Wan nodded, feeling a little heavy in her heart, she pursed her lips, and said after a while: "Since you know what's in your heart, I'm at ease." Then she stood up, took a few steps outside, looked at There were a few strands of gray hair in the hair, feeling a little sad for this man, sighed secretly, and said: "You should rest earlier."

Xue Cheng sighed, Wang Wan didn't hesitate anymore, and stepped out of the study directly, she thought, her heart softened after all.

From then on, Wang Wan thought that the Qi family would be the first to come looking for trouble, but she didn't expect that the princess of Dongping County was the one who ushered in.

That day, Wang Wan was fiddling with abacus beads in the shop when she heard from the shopkeeper that someone was looking for her. When the person greeted her, she saw the Princess of Dongping County in a cloak. Wang Wan looked at her suspiciously and said: "Is the princess of the county here to see the jewelry?" She said with a smile: "We have just made a new batch of jewelry in the Treasure Hall, do you want to see it, madam?"

"Alright." The Princess of Dongping County just smiled, then nodded, and asked the girl behind her to follow the shopkeeper out to pick out jewelry, while she sat at the head seat and took a sip of tea slowly.

Wang Wan was a little puzzled, she didn't have any friendship with this high-ranking concubine, why did she come here at this time, Wang Wan frowned subconsciously, looked at her, and said: "Madam didn't come to look at the jewelry?" He could only guess secretly: "But for what else?"

"There are some things." The princess of the county tilted her head and glanced at Wang Wan before she nodded, but she didn't say anything.

Wang Wan only frowned when she looked at such a nonchalant attitude. She always likes to talk about things. Such an unhappy look makes people feel worried when looking at her. Just say it." Anyway, draw a path.

Princess An Dong suddenly chuckled and said, "You are quite impatient."

Wang Wan twitched the corners of her mouth, she couldn't understand what it meant, and after a while she asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong, madam?"

"I'm here to help you." Princess Andong looked at Wang Wan's twitching mouth, chuckled lightly, and said, "You haven't been in Beijing for a long time, but you have offended many people." She had a deep meaning She took a quick look at Wang Wan, and said, "You know that Mrs. Jia is already dissatisfied with you because of the last birthday party, and she talked about your faults inside and out."

Uh, Wang Wan choked for a moment, pulled out a crying face with difficulty, and said, "I failed the old lady's painstaking efforts."

"You're really interesting." Princess Andong County pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I just thought you have a good temper, so I found you here."

"Ma'am, these words are too insincere." Wang Wan frowned, couldn't help curling her lips and said: "Ma'am, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

"Don't be so unreasonable, you should call me sister." Princess Andong shook her head, looked at Wang Wan and said, "You are a neat person." She clapped her hands and said: " You only know that I am the concubine of Andong County, but you don't know that I am originally from Qinghe Cui's family."

Wang Wan blinked her eyes in puzzlement, and said dryly, she really doesn't know much about the so-called aristocratic family, she lives comfortably every day, how can she think so much, not to mention the education she has received , nor is it an orthodox education for aristocratic women, so naturally they won't know anything about the so-called aristocratic family.

Princess An Dong's gentle smile almost burst, she endured it and said, "I heard that the teacher in my wife's family is also a son of the Cui family?"

Wang Wan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said: "Oh, you are talking about Mr. Cui, I don't know." She said bluntly, "Mr.'s surname is Cui..." Wang Wan looked at the county hesitantly. The concubine said: "Madam is here today because of Mr. Cui?" She suddenly looked at her, and said: "Could it be that Mr. Cui and Madam are old acquaintances?"

Only then did Cui sigh, with a little melancholy on her face, and said, "Speaking of which, Ziyan still needs to call me sister."

Wang Wan secretly sighed, what's going on these days, there are so many confessed relatives, it's really frustrating.

Mrs. Cui didn't say much, just clapped her hands, the girl who had just left came in, followed by two graceful beauties, Wang Wan raised her eyebrows, and only heard Mrs. Cui say: "These two girls have been by my side all the time. They have been trained, I want to let them serve Ziyan, I am a little worried about him being alone."

Wang Wan frowned, but slowly stood up, and sighed: "Madam, I can't accept these two people." Seeing Cui's complexion changed, Wang Wan shook her head and said, "Even if Madam is angry about this , but I can’t be Mr.’s master.” She looked at Princess Anton, and said, “You think too highly of me.” She ignored Cui’s face that suddenly changed color, and said, “Some I don’t know if I should say it or not.”

"...You say." Cui frowned and said after holding back.

"If there is any misunderstanding between Madam and Mr., just explain it face to face." She looked at Mrs. Cui and said, "I respect Mr. Cui. Never dare to meddle in your husband's private affairs." This is what Wang Wan said in her heart, she has always known that Cui Ziyan is not easy, including their encounters, including his going out for ten days and a half months at Xue's house from time to time, she has never done it Ask, everyone has their own secrets, and she forced Cui Ziyan to be Pan'er's husband, so as long as she teaches Pan'er well, she doesn't care about anything.

The princess of Andong County didn't speak, but her face looked dim, and she said after a while: "You know, it's not a wise choice to offend me." She originally thought that according to her status, she would definitely curry favor with her, but But she didn't want to hit a snag without being soft or hard. She couldn't hide the matter in her heart, obviously, she really thought so.

"I'm sorry." Wang Wan pursed her lips and said, no matter why she wanted to send two maids by her side, Wang Wan couldn't agree. She could vaguely guess what Cui Ziyan was doing, but she only knew it sometimes. Too much is not good.

After Princess Andong County left, Wang Wan didn't feel in the mood to stay in the shop any longer, and went home with someone. The Laifu's family saw her and asked suspiciously: "Madam came back early today."

"Is Mr. Cui in the yard?" Wang Wan asked without pausing.

"Here." Lai Fu's family quickly replied: "Our uncles and girls are all in Wutong courtyard, and Master Xuan is also here." With a smile on her face, she said: "You can hear us from a distance. The sound of the uncle reading."

A smile appeared on Wang Wan's face, and she said softly: "That little troublemaker, only Mr. Cui has the ability to make him sit down and study obediently." Then she walked towards Wutong Courtyard.

Cui Ziyan seemed a little surprised when he saw Wang Wan, and said, "Why did my wife come here?" He was a little surprised.

Wang Wan glanced left and right, and asked people to take Pan'erbao away, and then said: "Today in the shop, Princess Andong County came to see me." Wang Wan glanced at Cui Ziyan's expression, and said: "She only said that she would send two maids to serve you." Wang Wan glanced at his expression again, and said, "But I refused."

"You don't have to take it to heart." Cui Ziyan bent his lips and said, "She dare not do anything to you."

Wang Wan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Sir, are you so confident?" She looked at Cui Ziyan again, and said, "But I also trust you for the time being." Then she led the people away.

Cui Ziyan squinted his eyes at Wang Wan's back, and sighed softly after a while: "I'm afraid only a woman like you can be so bold." He has never concealed his whereabouts in Xue's house. His control is definitely not to be underestimated, so he doesn't believe that she doesn't know anything.

Madam Qi's arrival didn't surprise Wang Wan. Together with her daughter-in-law, she stepped into Xue's house arrogantly and reservedly. She seemed to be quite dismissive of Xue's house. Wang Wan just pretended that she didn't see it. Someone served tea, and said: "Madam, please have some tea." As she spoke, she picked up the quilt and took a sip slowly. She still can't taste the quality of this tea, and what she likes to drink is still Fruit juices and such.

"You look younger than I imagined." Madam Qi didn't speak, but the woman beside her spoke. Wang Wan recognized her from the first time she saw her, it must be Xia Wan My son's sister is not fake anymore.

"Thanks to the compliment from Grandma." Wang Wan smiled reservedly and politely, like a real lady. She just doesn't want to do some things, but it's not like she doesn't know how to do them.

Seeing Wang Wan's appearance, Xia Shi frowned, but her eyes slowly turned red and said, "I'm here today, but I'm presumptuous." Seeing Wang Wan's unmoved appearance, she said again: "It's just that I heard that my poor little sister Wan'er once appeared in Xue's house?"

"Grandma's sister?" Wang Wan pretended not to understand, blinked her eyes in doubt, and said, "Grandma may have misunderstood." Wang Wan said with a smile: "Our Xue family is just a merchant after all. It’s just a family, as the grandma is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis Mansion, she must be a precious sister, so how could she be among our merchants.”

"you!"

"Wen'er." Madam Qi glanced at Xia Wen'er lightly, then looked at Wang Wan and said, "Mrs. Xue, since we have found you, we are sure." Her brows were tightly furrowed, the corners of her lips curled slightly, The whole person looks serious and mean.

Wang Wan raised her eyebrows, looked at Madam Qi with a smile, and said, "If Madam said Wan'er was the Xia family who was our lord's liaison earlier, then there is indeed such a person." She brushed the hair on her temples. , behind the ear, leaning on the back of the chair, the whole person looks lazy and charming.

Xia Wen'er's face turned red suddenly, she just felt ashamed, for her, the Tongfang girl is nothing worth mentioning, she can be sold with the owner at will, if she is spared by the uncle, she will return There is a younger sister who has been a housekeeper, so how can she still have a foothold in the Qi family? My aunt is so confused. The old lady just left, and she wanted to take her sister back. Now that everyone is dead, what else can I do? make up?Is it possible that you really want to recognize this relative? !

Seeing Xia Wen'er's expression, Wang Wan raised her eyebrows in surprise, and sighed: "I think Madam may have admitted the wrong person, and Xia's family background is a bit disgraceful, so I'm afraid it will spoil Madam and Grandma's ear."

Xia Wen'er's impatience could no longer be concealed, Wang Wan used the teacup to cover up the corners of her mouth mockingly, "Xia Wan'er, Xia Wan'er, you should really look at this ugly face of your so-called relatives, it really makes people laugh." nausea.

Mrs. Qi frowned, looked at Xia Wen'er and said, "Wen'er, no matter what, Wan'er is your sister, my niece." Previously, there was a mother-in-law on top of her, and Lord Hou didn't like her very much. If something happened, she would naturally have to protect herself and her eldest niece first. Now that the old lady has finally gone, is it possible that she can't justify her niece? !You can't let her just go there without knowing why.

Wang Wan looked at Madam Qi, and said again: "Madam, I'm afraid you really misidentified the person."

"My own niece, can I still admit my mistake?" Mrs. Qi snorted, very dissatisfied, and said: "Wan'er is a girl from our Xia family. She was abducted by Xue Cheng and entered into Xue's house, and now she is so unknown. Bai lost his life, wouldn't your Xue family give an explanation?!"

Wang Wan slowly put down the glass, looked at Madam Qi and sneered, "But it's really funny! Although your Hou family is very powerful, our Xue family is not a small family, so we can't tolerate you being wronged like this!" She He stood up straight away, raised his eyebrows and said: "If Madam has nothing else to do, please go back, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you." As he spoke, he walked directly outside.

The author has something to say: Xia Wan'er is also a family member, so she can't just die quietly like this, otherwise she will be ashamed of her true love.
