Chapter 51 No more
"Why don't you believe it? How do I prove it to you..." Xiaotao kept talking, and walked further and further away from Xi Yu until he disappeared into the night.
Lan Yunjin looked at the direction where they disappeared, smiled and shook her head, and drank a glass alone: "Happy enemies..."
I laughed and burst into tears...
I looked at the white silk that was still hanging on the beams of the house and fluttering in the wind...
"Ah! Oh my god! I'm so embarrassed, right? I've just drunk a few glasses. Why is that alcohol so powerful? Do I want to live?" The next day, Xiao Tao's wake up from the wine and was in the quilt. She regretted that she muttered and refused to come out.
Looking back at yesterday's scene, I remembered it vividly. I didn't expect that I would kiss Xi Yu while I was drunk.
Why do you look like a female hooligan? How can you face Lan Yunjin and Xi Yu in the future?
"Xiao Tao, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Shangguan Yuxuan came to the servant room where she was and asked with concern.
"Miss!" Xiaotao hurriedly sat up, stroked his hair like a chicken coop with his hands, and explained with awkward smile: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I just drank too much last night!"
"I know, Brother Xi Yu sent you back yesterday!" Shangguan Yuxuan looked at her teasingly, waiting for her to explain the intimate relationship between the two people?
"It's not what you think..." Xiao Tao was about to explain, but then remembered that Lan Yunjin was inconvenient to say something.
I really couldn't explain how I took the opportunity to secretly kiss Xi Yu. Such explanations that I couldn't speak made Xiaotao unable to find any excuses for a moment.
"What does that look like? Why don't I know that you have such a good relationship? Brother Xi Yu has a morbidity. You vomited dirty yesterday. He didn't throw you outside. It's really rare and precious!" Shangguan Yuxuan asked gossip.
"What? He still has a cleanliness obsession?" Xiao Tao thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be!
Last night, after leaving the Second Prince's Mansion, he vomited out the wine. He actually threw it away and left, muttering: No, no more!
But for some reason, after a while, he turned back. Then, he grabbed his back clothes like he was carrying something, and dragged himself back to the Shangshu Mansion.
"It's over, I don't have the face to see anyone!" Xiao Tao slid into the quilt like a loach, covered the quilt on his head, hiding inside and unwilling to come out.
"It's not as bad as you thought. If Brother Xi Yu really dislikes you, he will never send you back to the Shangshu Mansion." Shangguan Yuxuan held back her laughter and relieved Xiao Tao.
'What do you know? Silly girl, he wanted to take this opportunity to see if you are good?' Xiaotao howled in his heart, he was so embarrassed this time.
In the Ministry of Revenue's Mansion, in the old house in the northwest corner, living in the unpopular concubine Xi Yu. His face was originally fair and handsome, but now he was tossing and turning on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. He looked up and saw that it was dawn outside, but he still didn't fall asleep.
I just couldn't figure it out, how could that little maid... so bold... dare to kiss her in front of outsiders?
How could he be so shameless, without any scruples or unrestrainedness?
Also, why did she kiss herself instead of the second prince after getting drunk? Why is it so strange to be kissed?
Since he couldn't sleep, he simply got up and went to the yamen. He thought that he would be better when he was busy, so he didn't have to think about so many messy things.
"Miss, Madam, please go to Tianyunyuan with Xiaotao!" Xia He walked in and said to Shangguan Yuxuan. He knew that he almost caused a big disaster yesterday, and felt ashamed of his master, so he kept dodging his eyes.
"Well, I understand!" Shangguan Yuxuan responded, his heart on Xiaotao, and he did not notice Xia He's uneasy emotions.
"Okay, get up quickly! Mother wants to see us!" Shangguan Yuxuan patted Xiaotao on the shoulder through the thin quilt.
If it weren't for her, she would have been ruined yesterday. Even if she compromised and married into the eldest prince's mansion, she would not have a legitimate reputation and would be restricted and exploited by them everywhere.
Xia He felt very uncomfortable when he looked at Shangguan Yuxuan's tolerance towards Xiaotao. Once upon a time, she was also taken to her master in mind, now...
In Tianyun Garden, Shangguan Yuxuan and Xiaotao saluted Meng, who was sitting at the scene. Meng reached out and waved all the servants away, and asked both of them to sit down.
There were no outsiders in the room. Meng took up a sealed deed, stood up, thanking Xiaotao with full gratitude, and said, "Chuntao, thanks to you yesterday, Xuan'er was able to escape danger, but you almost lost your life!
I don’t know how to thank you. This is a shop in a bustling area. It’s my thank you gift. I hope you don’t dislike me!"
When Xiaotao stood up, he hurriedly stood up and immediately refused: "Madam, I have to worry. Protecting the lady's safety and maintaining the lady's reputation are all things that I should do. I really dare not take such a valuable thank-you gift!"
If Meng gave herself this gift in front of her servants, she might have accepted it. After all, she felt that she wanted to win people's hearts and let the servants know that as long as she did her work for her, she would not treat you badly!
But she chose to give it to herself in private, which proves that she really wanted to give it to herself and there was no profit to be profitable. She wanted to have a foundation for her to settle down!
"Mother gives you, just take it. This is the dowry we give you!" Shangguan Yuxuan directly stuffed the deed from her mother's hand into Xiaotao's hand.
He reminded with red eyes: "You and I have grown up together since childhood. If it were someone else, I would not let you be wronged as a concubine, but I know that Brother Xi Yu is a good person!
It’s just that they are dragged down by their identity and are subject to some oppression in the mansion, which leads to their current appearance. I hope you two can get along well!
So what if you are a concubine? As long as you can give birth to a child and a half, you will still have a place in his heart!”
Although Xiaotao was unconvinced and felt that Xi Yu was not the right candidate to be entrusted for life, he still nodded obediently!
Now that things have come, it is probably impossible not to contact Xi Yu. It is spread to the outside world, but I have registered in front of the emperor. If I don’t use it as a concubine, wouldn’t it be a crime of deceiving the emperor?
"Since I am about to leave the mansion, I want to remind the lady and the wife to say a few words..." Xiaotao thought for a while.
I am really worried that this innocent little girl was plotted by Shangguan Yuxin and Xu and suffered unnecessary suffering!
"But it's okay!" Meng and Shangguan Yuxuan looked at each other, and a solemn expression appeared on their faces.
"Please be careful of the servants around me, because when I first returned home, the eldest lady once told me that I would send someone to say a few good words to me in front of me, so I think there should be someone around me!
But I later recalled that the people around the lady had no obvious words of help to me; afterwards, I was careful to guard against it for a long time, but still found no clue!
I don’t know if it was the eldest lady who said it on purpose, wanting us to fight in the nest; or if the man was buried too deeply, we didn’t notice it!” Xiaotao told the truth.
"So, the last time the witchcraft incident was probably done by that traitor!" Meng Shi locked her eyebrows and immediately remembered the incident where Shangguan Yuxuan escaped by chance.
"It's very likely that you might as well design a trap to see if you can catch the spy?" Xiao Tao suggested with a rigorous expression.
"What are your good ideas?" Meng asked.
"It's better to do this. The lady told them half-hiddenly that she had made an appointment with His Highness the eldest prince to explain yesterday privately, set the time and place in a different position, and then sent someone to follow the eldest lady or her people to see who she believed!" Xiaotao came up with an idea.
"I think Chuntao's proposal is feasible!" Shangguan Yuxuan said to Meng.
Meng nodded: "That's all. Chuntao went to Xi's house the next day. We will be more busy here, and they will relax their vigilance!"
"What the lady said is very much!" Xiao Tao praised sincerely.
Afterwards, Meng carefully explained a few words about what to pay attention to as a wife and the relationship with the staff in Xi’s house, and wanted to help Xiaotao adapt to the environment faster...
Two days later, Xi Yu hired a sedan chair and carried Xiaotao into the mansion, and ignored her.
Xiaotao sat beside the bed and muttered, "I met a scumbag in my previous life. There was no grand wedding at all. Now it's so miserable that there is not even a wedding or a groom! It's so sad!"
Is this an old cow eating tender grass? After all, I lived to be nearly thirty years old in my previous life! I found such a handsome young man to be a man in this life. No matter how I look at it... I don’t seem to lose money!
But when he thought that he had no self in his heart, he wouldn't have a little face on his face, why did he feel miserable?’
Waiting for a while was too boring. Xiao Tao looked around Xi Yu's room. It could not be said to be simple, but could only be said to be poor.
After all, he is the young master in the mansion and the richest Minister of Revenue. How could he treat him so badly? This is no different from the servant's house in the Minister of Justice's Mansion, okay?
The east room is a bedroom, with only ordinary wooden table and four chairs inside; a simple basin rack with a washbasin; and a wooden bed that is only 1.5 meters wide.
It's empty, there's no decorative item!
There is a dilapidated book case in the west room, and two brushes, one thick and one thin, are sparsely hung on the pen holder; there are quite a few books on the dusty bookshelf behind, but I don’t know what category they are?
I was also afraid that I would get covered in dust and that I would be afraid that I would turn over a book like Jin Ping Mei, so I would be embarrassed and simply didn't go in!
The room in the middle is a bit like a modern living room, with a few chairs and a few short tables next to it, which is considered a place to entertain guests!
In a few steps, I arrived at the room. In addition to the three-bedroom main room I am now in, there are two side rooms outside and a deserted small garden. It was summer and it was overgrown with weeds, so obviously no one took care of it!
And in this yard that is comparable to a servant's room, there is not even a servant, and only Xi Yu lives alone, it is really inexplicably ignored it completely!
Chapter completed!
