In the front yard garden, the birthday banquet had ended. The old lady couldn't stand such a long time of tossing and turning, and had long lost her energy. When the banquet was over, she was helped by Mother Zhao to return to her own yard first, while Miao and Luo Lingxiu were busy in the front yard sending away the female guests who came to celebrate the birthday.
Whenever Miao thought of the "comedy" that Master Bao had caused, she felt extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, the guests who came to celebrate the birthday were all trying to curry favor with the Marquis' Mansion, and in everyone's eyes, Master Bao was just a boy who had not grown up, so the guests just laughed it off and no one really took it to heart.
It was just that Miao was playing tricks on herself. She always felt that the smiles on the female guests' faces had hidden meanings, and that they were all laughing at Master Bao's stupid behavior today. Therefore, when Miao was seeing the guests off, her smile was forced and she was a little absent-minded.
Also absent-minded was Luo Lingxiu, who was standing next to her and accompanying her to see off the guests. The only difference was that Luo Lingxiu's face was pale, her fingers were trembling, and her lips were pale and bloodless.
Miao was planning to go to Master Bao's courtyard and interrogate him after seeing off the guests. She was so angry that she lost face in front of everyone. Mingyu was also responsible. However, when she turned around, she saw her eldest daughter-in-law staggering. She was so scared that she quickly asked the maid to support Luo Lingxiu.
"What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Miao asked nervously. She and Luo Lingxiu were so busy these days that they were almost dying. During today's banquet, waves of ladies came to pay them a visit. In order to maintain good manners, the two of them hardly ate anything and just drank some tea to moisten their throats. Miao naturally thought that Luo Lingxiu could not hold on any longer at this time.
Luo Lingxiu forced a smile. She was now filled with fear and hatred. She was afraid that Master Bao no longer loved her, and she hated that Mingyu had snatched her cousin away. Seeing Miao's concerned look, Luo Lingxiu took out a handkerchief and wiped her forehead, saying, "I am a little tired, but it's okay. I still have to check the accounts with the housekeepers later."
"How can that be?" Miao said dissatisfiedly, "I'll check the accounts tomorrow. Anyway, those old women can't run away. You should go back and have a rest first. Ask the kitchen to prepare some nourishing soup. You can't get tired out." Miao was thinking clearly in her mind. She was still counting on Luo Lingxiu to take advantage of her youth and good health, and wait for Yang Ge'er to come back, so that she can successfully conceive the eldest son and grandson of the Sima family. She must not get tired out.
Seeing Miao's firm attitude, Luo Lingxiu didn't want to bother with these trivial matters anymore, so she quickly apologized to Miao and, with the support of Hong Xi and Hong Xian, slowly walked to the backyard.
Most of the guests had left, and the mansion, which was bustling with people coming and going during the day, suddenly became quiet. It gets dark early after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the sky was already dark at this time, as if everything was vaguely covered with a dark blue curtain. The maids and servants in charge of lighting the lanterns in the mansion had begun to light up the lanterns one after another.
Miao stamped her sore feet. She was tired after a day and didn't want to take care of things anymore. However, when she thought of the scene that Bao Erye had made in front of others, she became angry again. With the help of Wei Ma, she went straight to Bao Erye's yard. In the past, whenever the old lady and the marquis mentioned disciplining Bao Ge'er, Miao would make a scene. The son she taught was naturally the best. Even if Bao Ge'er had some outrageous behavior, Miao would turn a blind eye to it.
However, Master Bao's behavior today touched Miao's bottom line. No matter how much Bao fought or how much he acted as a playboy, it was not a big deal in her opinion. But she loved her face the most. Master Bao personally went out to entertain the public today and made a big joke. This was what Miao could not tolerate. She was unwilling to let the Marquis come to lecture her, as it would seem that she had failed in her education. She could only give him a warning herself first.
However, when Miao arrived at Master Bao's courtyard, she found the room dark and not even a light on. She couldn't help but frown and shouted, "Where are all the people? Not even a light on?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the east wing opened, and the two concubines Yingshu and Yingqin ran out in panic and knelt in front of Miao.
These two people were extremely honest and timid when they were maids. In addition, Miao had a violent temper and had long been in their hearts. Seeing Miao's angry face, the two people were not sure what they had done wrong. They knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, and trembling.
Miao was furious when she saw their humble appearance. She could not hold back her anger and asked loudly, "How do you serve me? Do you still want to live in the mansion? It's so dark now, and you don't even light the lamp in the second master's room? What's the use of you? Is the mansion short of lamp oil?"
Yingshu was a little bolder, raised his head, and stammered, "Madam, the Second Master... He went out with Baihao half an hour ago and is not in the room. On weekdays, we dare not enter the Second Master's room without his order. It is not to neglect serving the Second Master. Please understand, Madam."
"Gone?" Miao was stunned. She had been seeing guests off at the door, so why had she never seen Baoger show up
Soon, Nanny Wei called the maid and servant guarding the back door of the mansion. The maid said respectfully, "Madam, the second master rode out with Baihao half an hour ago. He said he wanted to go to the horse farm to ride horses and will be back in two days."
Miao was so angry that she wanted to grab her son's ears and twist him 360 degrees. It was already dark and he was still riding a horse. Now he realized that he was embarrassed and had no face. The bastard just ran away, thinking that he could get away with it
After returning to the room, Nanny Wei saw that Miao's chest was heaving with anger, so she quickly calmed Miao down and comforted her, "Madam, please don't be angry with the Second Master. The Second Master is hiding away because he is embarrassed. I believe he will come back to apologize to you in a few days after he comes to his senses."
Miao kicked the stool beside her legs in anger and shouted, "How can I not be angry? He ruined a good birthday party! In the future, when people mention the Anxi Marquisate, they will say that the second son of the Marquisate is a fool who is obsessed with women! When Bao Ge'er enters the government in the future, if someone wants to deal with him, won't these things today be ready-made handles? And Mingyu, I thought she was quiet and timid, but I didn't expect that the little girl would seduce Bao Ge'er's soul!"
"Don't worry, Madam. The Second Master is just young. Everything will be fine when he grows up and settles down." Nanny Wei said with a smile.
When Miao heard what Wei Ma said, she wanted to blurt out what was in her heart, but she swallowed it back. After repeating it several times, she could not help it anymore and gritted her teeth and said, "It's not that I favor one over the other, it's really... When Yang Ge'er was his age, he was chosen as the prince's companion. His literary talent surpassed many famous young men in the capital. How could Bao Ge'er be so ridiculous when he is the same age..."
Miao was at a loss for words to say. No matter how outstanding and excellent Yang Ge'er was, he was raised by the old lady. She had only held him for a few days before he was taken away by the old lady. From then on, mother and son were separated. And look at Bao Ge'er, whom she had raised, he looked so stupid. If she continued to say anything, she would be slapping herself in the face.
Nanny Wei sighed slightly in her heart and said nothing more. She carefully calmed Miao down. She had served Miao for so many years, so she was naturally familiar with Miao's temperament. She was strong-willed and arrogant, and could not tolerate being inferior to others. Even when she was in the boudoir, she was secretly competing with several sisters. Now that Bao'er was like this, ordinary people would just laugh it off and think that the child was silly and cute, but this was the Anxi Marquis' Mansion, and Bao'er had Yang'er to compare with. How could she be willing to accept this
Here, Luo Lingxiu was supported by Hong Xi and Hong Xian and walked slowly towards her yard. Her whole body was cold, her hands and feet were weak, and she was in a daze, without any consciousness. Her mind was full of the image of Master Bao at noon, with a flushed face, jumping onto the stage with a look of heartache and worry, and pulling Mingyu.
This is not true! This is not true! Luo Lingxiu seemed to have a voice in her heart screaming hysterically, recalling the letters they exchanged when they were young. From the lines, Luo Lingxiu, who was in her prime, could feel the love and admiration of her cousin, the young boy. At that time, she was happy and proud, but she didn't expect that in just a few months, the person in her cousin's heart was no longer her!
How could she tolerate this! Sima Xi was a cold-blooded bastard, he didn't want to look her in the eye, Luo Lingxiu was arrogant, so she would naturally give an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, no one would have a good life, but her cousin was different, if Bao Ge'er didn't have her in his heart, what else would she have? What else did she have in this world
Luo Lingxiu suddenly stopped, her teeth clenched, her whole body trembling slightly. It was all the fault of that damned little girl! Shameless little bitch!
Hong Xi and Hong Xian stopped in a hurry and looked at Luo Lingxiu's face which was twisted with anger. The two were too scared to speak and stood beside Luo Lingxiu with their heads lowered, not knowing where she got so angry and were afraid that she would take her anger out on them.
The autumn night wind was chilly, but Luo Lingxiu could not feel it. She only felt that her heart was colder than the wind. The pain of Master Bao's "betrayal" was far less than her anger towards Mingyu. Suddenly, Luo Lingxiu shook off Hongxi and Hongxian who were supporting her and strode towards Yiqing Courtyard.
Hong Xi and Hong Xian hurriedly followed, but when they arrived at the gate of Yiqing Courtyard, they did not dare to go in and waited at the gate with their heads down.
There was no light in the main house of Yiqing Courtyard, only a faint candlelight leaked out from the bedroom. Luo Lingxiu strode in the dark, her heart filled with uncontrollable anger. She could no longer imagine how she should deal with Mingyu to vent her anger.
Luo Lingxiu lifted the curtain and entered the room. The door of the inner room was ajar. Luo Lingxiu kicked the door open and looked at the surprised Mingyu and Lixiang with a ferocious face. She sneered: "You are really a good guy. You pretend to be good on the surface, but you are a shameless bitch inside. You are not even as good as a prostitute!" (To be continued.
