"Old Madam, look, Xu Xian looks more handsome than the white lady on that stage." Mrs. Huang, the wife of the young master craftsman, was sitting on the side talking and laughing with the old Mrs. Tang, the wife of Dushui Envoy, accompanied her daughter. He bit his lipstick cherry lightly and pursed his lips and smiled.

Ling Xueji came to stand under the banquet, Hua Mei had already run into the banquet, and gave a blessing to Old Madam Qu, "Old Madam, Madam is here."

When Mrs. Qu heard that Ling Xueji was coming, she just looked back and didn't make a sound.

This move was beyond Ling Xueji's expectation. The old matriarch always smiled happily when I came here a few times before, why is it so strange today?

While thinking about it, he climbed up to the stage and saw Huang Shi, Tang Shi and those two delicate ladies sitting in the banquet, feeling a little dazed.Seeing this, Huamei walked back to Ling Xueji, and quietly whispered in her ear, "Ma'am, please stand still." Then she turned to face the four people who were sitting safely, and said sternly: "Presumptuous! Why are you not polite when you see Mrs. Shangshu?"

With this sound, Ling Xueji finally knew why Huamei reminded herself to stand up.Even I was frightened by the thrush, not to mention those four people who have no eyesight.But I was so scared, I looked up and found that the person who taught them was just a maid with a loud voice, what else is there?

Huang tucked the corners of her lower lips with a handkerchief, looked at Ling Xueji with her eyes, and uttered a nasal voice that sounded obviously contemptuous, "Mrs. Shangshu has not spoken yet, you are a servant girl playing the role of master?"

The official rank of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is far higher than that of Jiang Zuojiang and the envoy of Dushui, so Ling Xueji's status here is also much higher than her Huang's. He didn't go home for five days, so he guessed that this Mrs. Shangshu who just passed the door was not favored.Just now, Old Madam Qu's attitude towards her granddaughter-in-law confirmed her thoughts even more.Only then did he dare to sit in the banquet without any fear, and did not get up to salute when he saw Ling Xueji, who was in a higher rank than himself.

If the master is not favored, what is the use of slaves talking?It's just rabid dogs barking.

Ling Xueji glanced at Mrs. Qu, and found that Mrs. Qu had a peaceful expression with her eyes closed. The woman beside her had put a pillow on the Arhat bed, so she leaned on her and closed her eyes to rest.A wind blew from the high typhoon, blowing the silk curtain reflecting the water waves, Ling Xueji only felt that his back was cool and empty, as if nothing existed.

"Is this sister Ling Qiu Fanling?" Huang's daughter Zhou Lingyun stood up Yingying, Yunbu walked to Ling Xueji, nodded and saluted Wanfu.

"Ling Qiufan?" Ling Xueji was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that she was living in the Shangshu Mansion and could not go out at will. Presumably, within the past five days, the news that she and her sister got into the wrong sedan chair had spread throughout Jinling City.

"That's right, the whole Jinling City knows that Master Shangshu married sister Ling Qiu Fanling?" Zhou Lingyun frowned a pair of beautiful eyebrows, looking as if he was wondering about Ling Xueji's reaction.

"Lingyun, you called me wrong. This is Miss Ling Qiufan's sister, Miss Ling Xueji." Mrs. Huang smiled and told her daughter about getting on the wrong sedan chair, while Zhou Lingyun covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Surprised look.

Tang's gentle appearance said softly, "Sister Huang can't say that."

Huang supported her face with her hands, pretending to be puzzled, "Am I wrong?"

Tang shook her head, "Of course it's not right. The specific names of the two young ladies were not mentioned when the marriage was bestowed, and the matter of getting on the wrong sedan chair is clearly non-existent."

"Oh, sister Tang reminded me. I almost committed a serious crime."

Tang's daughter has been sitting weakly at the banquet without saying a word, looking sick and beautiful, Zhou Lingyun glanced at her and then turned to Ling Xueji, "So that's how it is, it was Ling Yun's mistake, and Xueji gave it to her. If my sister is with me, I still hope that there will be a lot of elder sister Xueji, so don't argue with Lingyun."

Looking at Zhou Lingyun's flawless smile, Ling Xueji clenched his fists tighter and tighter, his joints creaking.Okay, you people dare to play Miss Ben!Let's see how Miss Ben teaches you!

"Why is sister Xueji's face so red all of a sudden?" Zhou Lingyun clings to his sleeve and wants to touch Ling Xueji's face, but he takes it back halfway, "Ah, my sister was just rude."

"Since you know that you are rude, why don't you kneel down and apologize."

Zhou Lingyun raised his eyes in surprise when he heard the words, and saw Ling Xueji looking at him with a cold face, a pair of crescent-like eyes seemed to be mixed with ice.

"you……"

"What are you?" Ling Xueji's tone became colder in an instant, "Thrush."

"The servant girl is here." Huamei lowered her head and took a step forward.

Ling Xueji sneered slightly, "Give me a slap."

"Wait a minute!" Seeing her daughter's pale face in shock, Huang stood up and strode in front of Ling Xueji, "If you want to beat my daughter, at least you have to give me a reason? The old lady is here today, let's invite The old lady judges."

Ling Xueji tilted her head, "I want to beat your daughter, it's my business. Just ask the old lady to comment on a trivial matter, what are you?"

"But you—" Huang was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ling Xueji.

"You want a reason? Well, I'll give you a reason." Ling Xueji stretched out her hand, finger by finger, "One, my sister is the wife of General Wei Yueyan of the Twelve Guards, how dare your daughter directly Calling my sister by her first name? How courageous. Second, I am married to Mrs. Qu, the wife of the Ministry of Justice. She calls me a 'girl', what is her intention? Third, my husband's official rank is higher than her father's Big, she didn't call me 'Mrs. Shangshu' according to the dignity, but actually called me 'Sister'. Is she crazy because she wants to be a concubine? [-]. As a lady of the official family, she should abide by etiquette, but when she saw me But I can't stand up and salute, and even let my mother be rude to me. Heh," Ling Xueji turned to look at Huang Shi, "it's my mother's fault, you stop me from teaching her, it's even more wrong! Well, since you If you don't let me punish her, then I will punish you!"

Mrs. Huang didn't expect that this little girl who didn't seem to have opened her facial features could open her mouth so well, not to mention that she is also the general's wife even if she is not favored.Determined not to suffer the immediate loss, Huang pulled Zhou Lingyun up and walked down the table.

"Stop." Ling Xueji's voice came from behind.

"What does Mrs. Shangshu want?" Huang Shiqiang turned around with a smile, and squeezed out words from between his teeth.

Ling Xueji looked at her with interest, "Why did you leave before the show was over?"

Mrs. Huang took a deep breath, "Mrs. Shangshu, the play is over."

"I'm talking about the play you sang." Ling Xueji pointed to the stage where the curtain had ended and the props were removed, "The play you sang is better than theirs. I want you to sing on stage."

"Mrs. Shangshu, you are going too far!"

Letting an official wife learn how to sing from that lowly actor is simply more insulting than slapping her mouth.At this time, Huang couldn't laugh at all, and exhaled with a cold face and cheeks.

"You're not going, are you? Then sing here." Ling Xueji turned around and sat in Huang's seat, waving to the thrush beside her. "Thrush, do you wear rouge?"

"Ma'am, the servant girl has brought it." As Huamei said, she took out a small bag from her sleeve, opened it, took out a jar the size of a longan, and handed it to Ling Xueji.

Ling Xueji reached out and took out the silk handkerchief in Thrush's hand, twisted a corner, pounded it in the rouge pot, and walked slowly towards Huang's.

Huang was so frightened that her legs couldn't stop trembling, and the mother and daughter, who were holding Zhou Lingyun with both hands, backed up one after another, straight back to the edge of the theater, and stopped when they were blocked by the fence.Looking at the lake under the high platform, Mrs. Huang stretched out a trembling finger, "You, you, you are going too far, I want my master to go..." She really wanted to say to Shen Ququan, but rational Tell her to say that and the nasty nature of the whole thing will be heightened.

"You guys are treating me like an actor, and it's fair to play an actor for me now." Ling Xueji held a rouge-covered silk handkerchief, smiling crookedly with her crescent eyes.

Huang yelled in despair: "False reasoning! Absurd reasoning!"

"Unreasonable?" Ling Xueji smiled even brighter, "Then you can treat what I said as unreasonable!"

A rouge-smeared silk handkerchief wiped Huang's face abruptly. Huang was provoked by the powder on the silk handkerchief and sneezed twice, but when she finished sneezing, the handkerchief was wrapped again A lot of powder was wiped on her face.Hastily stretched out his hand to resist instinctively, but unexpectedly, the other party grabbed his belt with great strength——

"Crash-"

Zhou Lingyun yelled in panic, "Come here!! Help my mother! Come here!!"

Seeing that his wife didn't stop them, a group of Wu Ding jumped into the water one by one to save them.Not long after, Mrs. Huang was dragged ashore in a very ridiculous gesture, and started coughing while holding onto the steps as soon as she touched the ground.

Ling Xueji's pretty face showed nothing but majesty, "Next time, if you dare to act presumptuously in front of me again, it won't just be a matter of choking on a few saliva! Thrush, let's go!"

"Hey ma'am..." Huamei held Ling Xueji and looked in the direction of Old Madam Qu while hesitant to speak. Ling Xueji pouted angrily, turned and left.Huamei had no choice but to salute Old Madam Qu, who was still resting with her eyes closed, and then followed Ling Xueji.

After Zhou Lingyun and the Huang family had all left, Mrs. Qu slowly opened her eyes and let out a long sigh.

Ji Jin, who had been standing behind cooking tea and never spoke, came forward at this moment, and presented the Pu'er in his hand to Old Madam Qu, "Madam, please use tea."

Old Madam Qu took the tea and took a sip, then suddenly laughed, "Xue Ji is really a good pair with Quan Er."

Ji Ji reached out to take the teacup, and said with a gentle smile, "I just don't know if Madam can understand the painstaking efforts of the old matriarch."

Old Madam Qu heard the words, looked up at the sky that had already been stained with a few touches of yellow, the dazzling golden light gradually turned orange red, and it was going to sink in the west after a while.

"Xueji is still a child, but I am already old, and I can't protect her for many years. She is the wife of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment of Daxia, and I will walk with Quan'er in the future."

"Quan'er occupies a high position, and the road is tough and obstructed. In the days to come, they will encounter countless opponents that are worse than today and more insidious."

"She has to grow up as soon as possible. Until she can stand side by side with Tsuen Er and fight the wind and rain together."
