Ms. Qiao shook her head helplessly and said, "Forget it, you can go ahead. But after all, Miss Ji is a relative of your grandma, so don't let her be too embarrassed."
Hearing this, Xie Ruyue smiled proudly and said, "Don't worry, mother, I have my own sense of discretion."
After saying that, she took the cloak from Pearl and walked outside while putting it on.
Xie Huainan now has an injury on his arm, and the patrol has also granted him leave, asking him to rest and wait until the new year before returning, so he is staying at home these days.
Before he entered the door, he heard Ji Qing's sticky voice, "Cousin, just take another bite. I've been making these meatballs for a long time. You can try them."
Xie Ruyue couldn't listen any longer, so she opened the curtain and walked in, sneering, "I said you can smell the smell of the powder shop from all this distance, so it's my cousin you are here."
She deliberately emphasized the word cousin, causing Ji Qing's face to turn slightly red.
Ji Qing put the bowl in her hand on the table and said politely, "Greetings to my cousin."
"Forget it. With the way you are looking like this, I might have to pay you respects one day." Xie Ruyue said as she went to put the teapot on the table, but with an inadvertent sweep of her hand, she removed the bowl of tea. Wanzidu's sister-in-law fell to the ground, and then said in surprise, "Oh, I'm so sorry. It's a pity that you put so much thought into it, cousin."
Although he was apologetic, the sarcasm on Xie Ruyue's face was clearly evident.
Seeing this, Ji Qing's face suddenly turned red and white with embarrassment. These words were a naked mockery of herself, and no matter how stupid she was, she could still hear it.
Unfortunately, no matter how unhappy she was, she could only knock out her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. Ji Qing endured it for a long time, and then she forced a smile and said, "It doesn't matter, I will just make another one for my cousin someday." "
But in my heart, after all, I scolded Xie Ruyue so much that when she became the mistress of the Xie family, Xie Ruyue would reap the rewards!
Xie Ruyue didn't even bother to smile this time. She handed the tea to Xie Huainan and asked him to rinse his mouth. She said nonchalantly, "No matter how poor the Xie family is, they can still afford food, so why not bother the Ji family to send it all the way here?" After all, after you bring the food, you have to thank your family for bringing it to you later, which is really troublesome."
Hearing this, Ji Qing couldn't help it anymore and said sharply, "What do you mean? I just care about my cousin out of good intentions!"
"I know you have good intentions. You just took Buddha's flowers to offer to Lord Buddha. You really saved money with your kindness."
Xie Ruyue didn't like her, so her words were naturally not polite. Moreover, these words were true facts. Even if Ji Qing wanted to refute, he could not come up with any words to refute. I just stared and couldn't say anything else.
Xie Ruyue said happily, then looked at Lin Yue and said, "What are you still waiting for? Send Miss Biao home."
Seeing that Xie Huainan didn't say a word from beginning to end, Ji Qing felt ashamed and angry, stamped her feet fiercely and said, "No need, I can leave by myself!"
After saying that, she glanced at Xie Huainan sadly and said, "Cousin, I'm leaving first, I'm sorry!"
Seeing Ji Qing turn around and run out, Xie Ruyue shook her head and sighed, "Others say they are lucky, why are you the only one who can get lucky?"
Xie Huainan glanced sideways at her and said with a smile, "Girl, can't you have something nice to say?"
Hearing this, Xie Ruyue immediately changed her expression to a flattering one and said, "Brother, in my heart, is truly a handsome man whom I see once in a thousand years. The jade tree stands in the wind and is so graceful -"
"Mom's place isn't busy anymore. You'd better go and help."
Sure enough, before Xie Ruyue finished her compliment, she was interrupted by Xie Huainan.
Xie Huainan issued an order to expel guests, and Xie Ruyue stopped joining in the fun and walked out with a sly smile.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the house, he saw Xie Ruzhuo's personal maid, Hong Rui, walking in the direction of Tingfeng Courtyard with an anxious look on her face.
She grabbed Hongrui and asked, "What happened?"
Hong Rui turned around and saw Xie Ruyue. She bowed first and then said, "Second Miss, it's a good time to meet you. Please come back with me."
Seeing Hong Rui's appearance, Xie Ruyue's heart tightened immediately and she said, "Okay."
The two hurried to Tingfeng Courtyard, and Hongrui hurriedly drove out all the irrelevant people, and then said, "Miss, it's bad, someone poisoned the young master's food!"
As soon as she said these words, Xie Ruyue was immediately surprised and said, "Who is so bold?"
Xie Ruzhuo looked like he had expected it, and asked, "But it's from the third bedroom?"
Hongrui nodded fiercely and said, "Miss, you are really amazing. I have asked the people in the kitchen to keep an eye on Agui these days. As expected, she was sneaky today. Our people blocked the door of Agui." , and a bag of medicine was found. Seeing that Agui couldn’t hide it, you said it was the third young master who asked you to let it go, and you kept begging for mercy. "
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo sneered and said, "I knew that Sanfang would not give up so easily, but I just underestimated how cruel they were."
Xie Ruyue couldn't help it and said angrily, "Since the witnesses and physical evidence are all here, let's send them to Grandpa to seek justice!"
Xie Ruzhuo stopped her and said, "What's the rush? Since we have something in our hands today, we have to make good use of it. Besides, even if it is sent to grandpa, it will only be a beating, treating the symptoms but not the root cause." "
Seeing her confident look, Xie Ruyue asked curiously, "Is it possible that you have something to do?"
However, Xie Ruzhuo gave it a try and only ordered, "Go and tell our people to keep an eye on Agui and don't let him have the opportunity to tip off the news. I have my own opinion on this matter."
Hong Rui took the order and left, while Xie Ruyue asked curiously, "Zhuo'er, what are you going to do?"
Xie Ruzhuo smiled slowly and said, "Don't worry now. If Sanfang has the ability to attack, he must have the ability to bear the consequences. But it's still early, let's wait. I will definitely treat others the same way they treat others." body."
Seeing this, Xie Ruyue sighed and said, "Okay, you always have an idea. But you can never let go of the third room, those people are all evil-hearted!"
Xie Ruzhuo comforted Xie Ruyue, then held the packet of medicine and looked at it thoughtfully.
Seeing that there was no movement in the main room, Xie Huaiyang couldn't help it and went to question Agui.
Agui had long been threatened by Hongrui, so how could he dare to tell the truth? He only said tremblingly, "Third Master, I'm not helping you. It's just that the people in the kitchen are now the spies from the main room. I really can't find a chance." Take action!"
Seeing this, although Xie Huaiyang was angry, he also knew that this plan had failed, so he had to go back angrily to discuss other methods with Lu.
Since being scolded by Xie Ruyue last time, Ji Qing had been silent for several days without showing up, which made Lin Yue feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
That evening, he was preparing to serve Xie Huainan dinner. As soon as he went out, he saw a girl standing at the door.
Wearing a pink jacket and a large hat, he was carrying a food box and was about to go in. Who else could it be if it wasn't Ji Qing
As soon as he saw her coming, Lin Yue's face wrinkled up, but he still had to step forward to deal with it, "Miss Cousin, are you here again?"
Ji Qing changed her usual cunning attitude and said with a bitter face, "Brother Lin Yue, don't call your second cousin. I'll bring you some sweet soup and I'll leave in a while." After that, she also said He made a pitiful gesture.
Seeing her like this, Lin Yue sighed in his heart, thinking that this girl was also infatuated. Just like that, Ji Qing took advantage of the time and slipped into the house.
When Lin Yue came back to his senses, he heard the woman in the room start to show her bitterness, "Cousin, I won't give you food today. This is the sweet soup I made. Cousin, you can take a sip, it's my wish. .”
By the end, Ji Qing was already crying a little.
Xie Huainan was already a little hungry, and when he saw her like this, he couldn't bear it. He picked up the bowl and drank a few symbolic sips, saying, "Thank you, cousin."
Seeing Xie Huainan drinking the sweet soup, Ji Qing surprisingly didn't stay long. He just got up with a timid look and said, "In that case, I'm going to see my aunt. Cousin, I'm leaving."
When Ji Qing went out, Lin Yue clicked his tongue in surprise and said, "The sun is really out in the west, and this little aunt left so easily?"
Seeing Lin Yue's appearance, Xie Huainan glanced at him lightly and said, "What are you still standing there for? I'm hungry!"
After hearing this, Lin Yue came back to his senses, said "I'll go right away", and disappeared in a flash.
After Ji Qing went out, she immediately put away the cowardice on her face and slowly revealed a smile that showed her success.
Originally, she was planning to use her sincerity to impress Xie Huainan, but to her surprise, the other party refused to take the bait. After being humiliated by Xie Ruyue that day, Ji Qing went back and discussed with Mrs. Ji for half a day before coming up with a solution.
Since this can't be upright, then they will do it in a negative way. Today's sweet soup was mixed with Mianqingsan. Once a man takes it, he will be confused and confused in less than half an hour. When the time comes, the uncooked rice becomes cooked rice, and she becomes Xie Huainan's. Coupled with the relationship between the old lady Ji and the Xie family, no one in the Xie family dares to let Ji Qing be their concubine! When the time comes, the position of the eldest young lady of the Xie family will only be hers!
Ji Qing's wishful thinking was crackling, and she calculated that it would be some time before the effects of the medicine would take effect, so she immediately turned around and walked towards Ji's Purple Bamboo Courtyard.
They will soon become a family, and she still wants to please the Ji family.
Lin Yue came back with a cheerful face and realized something was wrong.
Xie Huainan was leaning on the soft couch, breathing heavily with his face flushed, and grabbing his hair uncomfortably from time to time.
Lin Yue was stunned, hurriedly put the lunch box on the table, and exclaimed, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
He had just come back from outside and his hands were extremely cold. Xie Huainan suddenly regained consciousness and gasped, "I, I've been hit, bring me a basin of cold water!"
Lin Yue said oh and understood immediately. He immediately ran out and brought some cold water, and saw Xie Huainan diving in. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Go to Miss Fourth and ask her to help hold Ji Qing down!"
This time Ji Qing ordered such medicine, the intention was obvious, but he couldn't do it.
Lin Yue understood what Xie Huainan meant and went out in a blink of an eye. Before going out, he turned back and asked, "Master, why don't you go to the study first?"
What if Ji Qing comes after he leaves
Xie Huainan glanced at him appreciatively, stood up and staggered out of the door, going to the study next to him.
Seeing him like this, Lin Yue stamped his feet in annoyance and trotted all the way to Tingfeng Courtyard.
Qian Bi was serving rice to Xie Ruzhuo. Seeing Lin Yue's breathless appearance, she immediately laughed and said, "Lin Yue, why are you running like a rabbit and being chased by a wolf?"
Lin Yue bent down and waved his hands, "I was not chased by a wolf, the young master was plotted against me!"
