"What did you say?" The sixteen-year-old boy couldn't hear Mingyu's mosquito-like voice clearly, so he moved closer to Mingyu, and his handsome face enlarged in front of Mingyu.
"No." Mingyu leaned back, pulling away from Master Bao's face, and her pounding heart calmed down. Taking a deep breath, Mingyu consoled herself that she was overthinking. In her eyes, Ba Tianbao was an immature boy, and in his eyes, she was also a little girl.
Think about it, when you are sixteen, would you like a twelve-year-old girl from the same compound? You must be kidding, you can't be that perverted...
Master Bao was unhappy and muttered, "Hey, why are you like this? You keep saying half of what you want to say..." However, seeing the little girl sitting on the couch with a gloomy look on her face, he couldn't help but soften his voice and asked cautiously, "Do you miss your brother? I sent him out of Tianshui City. Your brother is a very bad person." It was the sarcastic tone when facing his brother-in-law that made him feel scared.
Of course her brother is not good, he is much better than this Tyrant Bao! Mingyu's liver trembled with anger when she thought about it. She was really unlucky to be thrown into Xu Mingyu's body by God. There is such a good and handsome boy in front of her, but he is her own brother. There is such a scumbag Dumas in front of her, but she is not good enough. Is there any need for her to live
Mingyu temporarily put aside her melancholy mood. If she continued to think about it, she would be unable to resist banging her head against her head just to wear it again. Mingyu shook her head, shrank back on the couch, and said, "Aren't you going to study today? Don't skip words."
Seeing the little girl sitting there obediently, it was rare for the two of them to be so close, so Master Bao was reluctant to leave at this moment. "It doesn't matter if you don't go. I'll ask Baihao to tell the Master later."
Mingyu twitched her lips. As a great people's teacher, a student like Batianbao is simply an outrageous person. "I still have to pay my respects to the madam and the old lady." Mingyu simply ordered them to leave. She had already paid her respects to her brother in the morning, so she didn't need to go. But Mingyu thought about it and decided that since she couldn't leave the Sima family for the time being, and her brother had been warmly entertained by the Sima family in the past few days, it was reasonable for her to express her gratitude as a junior.
Fortunately, the stupid and stupid Ba Tianbao didn't say "I'll go with you" this time. He was most impatient to listen to the old lady talking about the past and reminiscing about the good and the bad.
When Mingyu brought Lixiang to Miao's yard, Miao was checking the accounts for the past month with Luo. When she heard Nanny Tan say that Mingyu was here, Miao was a little surprised. She was usually very strict with this girl. Apart from the necessary greetings, Mingyu basically avoided her when she saw her. Did the sun rise from the west today
"Bring the second wife in." Miao ordered.
Luo, who was standing by, lowered her head and curled her lips. She felt very uncomfortable during the two days when Xu Mingye came. The master and the mistress almost praised the poor boy into a flower. He was amazing. He just passed the imperial examination and became a juren. He was far from being an official. None of her uncles needed to take the imperial examination to become an official. They could be directly promoted to an official position, which was better than Xu Mingye's hard study for more than ten years. Besides, compared with Sima Xi, Xu Mingye was nothing.
After Mingyu came in, he bowed respectfully to Miao and said crisply, "Mingyu brother has been here for the past few days, and thanked Madam for taking care of him. Mingyu was very grateful in his heart."
Miao nodded in understanding. This child is very polite. She guessed it was the result of her painstaking teaching during this period. During the first two days when Mingyu came into the family, he seemed like a child who knew nothing. When Miao thought about this, she felt even more elated.
"We are all family. It is polite to entertain in-laws. Some are grateful or some are not." Miao said calmly, "Sit down. I will ask your eldest sister-in-law to take you to the old lady later."
Just as Luo Lingxiu was about to object, she received a warning look from Miao. The old lady already disliked her, so of course she had to change her image in front of the old lady as soon as possible.
Pretending not to notice Luo Lingxiu's disgusted look, Mingyu nodded obediently and sat down next to Miao's left hand. She thought that after what happened to Miss Yingrong last time, Luo Lingxiu should be well behaved for two days.
In fact, apart from the fact that Luo Lingxiu wanted to develop an "extramarital affair" with Mingyu in name only, Mingyu really couldn't think of any conflict of interest between her and Luo Lingxiu that would make her so tirelessly cause trouble. In the future, the entire Marquis' Mansion would belong to Sima Xi and her. Sima Hong and Mingyu would at most divide some of the family property and leave. If she divorced Master Bao, it would have nothing to do with Luo Lingxiu.
Therefore, the existence of Ba Tian Bao is the real source of all evil! Ming Yu secretly sighed.
Miao had just shifted her gaze to the account book and hadn't turned two pages when she heard someone running in from the yard, followed by Sima Lian's heart-wrenching cry, "Madam, Madam! Please call the master, my aunt...she's dying!"
Mingyu was startled and subconsciously looked outside the house. Through the thin bamboo curtain, she could only see vague figures outside the yard. It seemed that several maids stopped Sima Lian and prevented her from breaking into the house.
Miao frowned, slammed the pen in her hand heavily on the table, splashing a few drops of ink, and said angrily, "These concubines are going to make trouble! Let the girl run to my yard and ask the master to see her, it's really... really..."
Miao, who was always eloquent, was speechless and was obviously very angry.
At this time, Nanny Tan came in after opening the curtain. She looked at Miao awkwardly, pointed outside the curtain and said, "Madam, look... this..."
"No, no!" Miao waved her hands irritably. "The one brought up by my aunt has no manners. Who else would run into the mistress's yard and make a scene like a crazy woman?"
Luo looked outside the curtain and wondered, "You were fine a few days ago. I saw Madam Wen came to pay her respects to you. Why are you not fine today?"
Miao snorted coldly, "She came to ask me to arrange a marriage for Lian Jie'er as soon as possible. I just said a few words to her, but now she has imitated that restless vixen, pretending to be sick all day and making a fuss! Nowadays, these concubines are getting more and more precious. They get sick after kneeling for a while, and they get sick again after saying a few words. They are all taking advantage of me!"
The new concubine, Yu, relied on the Marquis's favor towards her. As long as the Marquis slept with her, she would take leave and not come to pay her respects the next day. Her excuse was always that she was not feeling well. Miao was always furious but could do nothing about it.
Naturally, Miao had a bad attitude towards all the concubines.
Mingyu felt distressed when she heard Sima Lian's cries. Madam Wen loved her daughter to her core. Even if she was pretending to be sick in order to get the Marquis to go to her place, she would not have let Sima Lian take the lead in doing this.
"Madam..." Mingyu spoke hesitantly. Seeing Miao's cold eyes, Mingyu swallowed her saliva and said with a stiff face that Madam Wen has always been weak and sickly. What if she is really sick..."
Miao stared at Mingyu and nodded, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it." She told Nanny Tan to find a doctor for Concubine Wen, take care of the baby, and teach her some manners, so that people wouldn't think the mansion was a market!"
Nanny Tan left immediately.
After a while, Mingyu could no longer hear Sima Lian's screams. She saw through the curtain that a maid covered her mouth from behind, and another maid came up and slapped her twice, saying that it was a reward from the madam. Sima Lian's hair was spread apart from the beating, and several maids dragged her out of the yard.
The sound disappeared, and the yard returned to silence. The only sound was the sound of Miao flipping through the account books. When Miao finished reading the account books, she told them to go to the old lady.
Along the way, Mingyu couldn't help but stretch her neck to look in the direction of Madam Wen's yard. However, the yard was hidden in the lush green shadows of the trees, and only a corner of the eaves could be seen. There was not even a bird flying by. It was silent and lifeless.
Luo Lingxiu looked back and saw Mingyu standing on tiptoe to look at Madam Wen's yard. She sneered and said, "Brother-in-law is so kind! I didn't expect she has such a kind heart!"
"How can I compare to my eldest sister-in-law, who even worries about the marriage of the second master's maid." Mingyu retracted her gaze, and pushed back without any softness or hardness, and walked past Luo Lingxiu to the front. Regardless of whether Madam Wen was really sick or pretending to be sick, she had already tried her best to help the poor and cowardly woman.
Luo Lingxiu looked at the slender back of the little girl walking in front of her, and she gnashed her teeth with hatred. She didn't want to accompany Mingyu to see the weird old lady at all. It was almost noon, and the autumn heat was scorching the earth. Luo Lingxiu stamped her feet in hatred, thinking that there was a long time to come, and there would be many opportunities to discipline this little girl. Let's see how long she can be arrogant.
The old lady was afraid of heat, so ice cubes were placed in the four corners of Shouxi Hall. As soon as Mingyu and Luo Lingxiu entered the door, they felt a refreshing coolness.
The old lady was lying on the couch with Zhao Mama massaging her shoulders. When she saw Mingyu coming, she asked with a smile, "You're here? Didn't you go to see your brother off?"
Mingyu felt much more relaxed in front of the old lady. At least the old lady was nicer and would be happy if she was coaxed. She was much easier to serve than the picky mother-in-law.
When Luo Lingxiu walked in, the old lady just glanced at her and didn't say anything to her. Luo Lingxiu cursed the old woman in her heart and sat down next to the old lady awkwardly.
Mingyu came to the old lady, hugged her arm and said with a smile, "We've finished sending them off. My brother said he had a lot of fun playing at our house these days." After that, she looked at Luo Lingxiu who was sitting there with a smug look, which made Luo Lingxiu jealous and she wanted to strangle Mingyu's thin white neck.
I told you not to bully others, and it would be best if I could make you angry to death! Mingyu thought maliciously.
"That's good!" The old lady sighed, tapped Mingyu's nose, and said, "Your brother is really thoughtful. He must have walked two thousand miles from your home to see you."
Mingyu's nose felt a little sour, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said shamelessly, "No, brother said the old lady in the mansion is the best. It's worth it for him to travel two thousand miles to see you!"
The old lady was amused by Mingyu and burst into laughter.
Luo Lingxiu, who was left out, felt so disgusted when she saw Mingyu fawning on her and the harmonious relationship between the two of them, that she almost vomited out her overnight meal.
