After the class was over, several people went back separately. Su Qingping and the maid Liurong went back to Rong'an Hall together. Walking out of Jingzhe Residence, passing through several corridors, several hanging flower doors... Rong'an Hall finally appeared in front.
Su Qingping didn't speak all the way, her heart was very complicated, she was jealous, unwilling, and resentful... She asked someone to stain Nangong Yue's painting, just to make him look ugly in front of her aunt, but she never expected the ending to be like this!
Liu Rong didn't know what her daughter was thinking at all, while looking around, she said enviously: "As expected of the mansion of a third-rank official, not only the courtyard is huge, but also the decoration is gorgeous and luxurious, you can also invite The best teacher in the capital comes to teach boudoir studies, which is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people."
Su Qingping didn't speak, but just walked forward silently.
Liu Rong thought that she would agree, so she spoke more vigorously: "When the maidservant went to the kitchen to get the meal yesterday, she saw that the kitchen was full of all kinds of precious medicinal soups! What kind of stewed red dates are made of blood swallows, what kind of fresh steamed cod , It’s really full of color and fragrance, and it’s really the style of a rich family.”
Su Qingping twisted the handkerchief in her hand, but remained silent. All this about Nangong's family was something she never dared to think about before she came here... No wonder Nangong Yue, a junior, treats her like this, even her cousin. In the end, it's just because she is a poor relative with no power or influence!
Liu Rong didn't notice the complex psychology of the master, and kept talking endlessly: "Miss, you said it would be great if we could stay forever!"
Stay forever?! Hearing this, Su Qingping's eyes lit up, as if a door suddenly opened before her eyes. If only she could stay forever!
Nangong Yue, you don't like me, you insult me, I want to stay! Not only do I want to stay, but I also want to gain a firm foothold in Nangong Mansion, who would dare to look down on me, Su Qingping, when I see it!
While thinking, she had already reached the gate of Rong'an Hall, when a man in green shirt suddenly walked out of the gate, almost bumping into her. Su Qingping hurriedly took a few steps back, looked up, and saw that the other person was of medium height, and the flat ironed brocade was attached to his slightly thin body. The four sons of the concubine - Nangong Cheng.
"Qingping met fourth cousin." Su Qingping gave a decent gift.
Liu Rong on the side also hurriedly saluted: "This servant has seen the fourth master."
"Cousin Ping is really nice to see outsiders. I heard my cousin call my second brother Cousin Mu. It sounds very kind. I am also envious of my brother. How about cousin Ping also call me cousin Cheng?" Nangong Chenglue Xian smiled frivolously, staring at her with burning eyes, the folding fan in his palm was shaking slightly, looking very romantic.
Su Qingping knew very little about this fourth cousin, she only knew that he was the bastard son of the old lady and was not yet married. In other words, he is the only one of the four cousins who has no wife. Maybe, she can...
"Cousin Cheng." She lowered her cheeks and cast a quick glance at Nangong Cheng, looking shy and timid.
Seeing this, Nangong Cheng shook his folding fan again, and said in a frivolous tone: "Cousin Ping, you just came back from your boudoir school? Presumably, cousin Ping is also hungry. How about just being my brother's host and seeing you?" After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and slammed his folding fan, with a smile on his face.
Thinking of the prosperity of the capital, Su Qingping almost agreed, but thinking of her identity and where she was, she immediately calmed down and bowed reservedly, "Thank you cousin Cheng for your kindness, but my cousin is a boudoir girl. How can I go out at will. The eldest aunt is still waiting for me to eat together, and the cousin left first."
"Since that's the case, I won't delay you as a brother."
"Qingping bid farewell." Su Qingping bowed again, and led Liurong into Rong'an Hall.
Nangong Cheng stared at Su Qingping's back in bewilderment, and did not leave for a long time.
His cousin is really a beauty, if she can get her hands on it, the aunt will be kind to her...
On the other side, Nangong Yue took Yimei back to the Black Bamboo Courtyard, where Mrs. Lin and her nanny, Nanny Liu, were waiting for her in her room.
Nangong Yue saw that her mother's face was a bit ugly at a glance, but when she saw herself, her mother immediately smiled and asked cautiously: "Sister Yue, are you okay? Mother, I heard that your grandmother said something about you in class today. Several… "
"Mother, I'm fine." Nangong Yue immediately interrupted Lin, and smiled nonchalantly, "I know that my grandmother is doing it for my own good, but she is just afraid that I will be too young to bear hardships."
Lin looked at her daughter carefully again, and was sure that her daughter really didn't care, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Nangong Yue simply dragged Mrs. Lin to have lunch with her. During this period, Nangong Yue kept making jokes, and Lin's face gradually had a smile.
After Lin and Nanny Liu left, Nangong Yue quietly went to Nanny Liu's room and waited for her to come back, her face sinking like water. Mother's complexion is not right today, she must have experienced something, otherwise she wouldn't be like this.
When Nanny Liu went back to her room for an afternoon nap, she saw Nangong Yue sitting on a round stool by the table, sipping tea in a cup with an elegant manner, she was startled.
"Third Miss, why are you in my room?"
Nangong Yue put down the cup, wiped her lips gently with a handkerchief, and then looked up at Nanny Liu with a sharp look in her eyes. "Mother Liu, what happened to my mother today?"
Hearing this, Nanny Liu's face froze, and she smiled a little stiffly, "Madam is fine."
Perhaps Nangong Yue's eyes were too captivating, Liu Mama said so, but she didn't dare to look at Nangong Yue, and lowered her eyes slightly.
Seeing this, Nangong Yue couldn't help pursing her lips tightly, expressing affection and understanding, "Mother Liu, I am my mother's daughter, and it can be said that I am the person who cares about her most in the world. Although I am young and capable It’s limited, but I also want to do my best for my mother.”
Nanny Liu has always been loyal to her mother, even if she fell into madness, she will always be by her side. Later, when her mother passed away, Nanny Liu guarded herself wholeheartedly until she died of illness.
Nangong Yue spoke the truth, and Mother Liu couldn't help being moved. It stands to reason that it is completely reasonable for a daughter to want to know about her mother's situation. She doesn't need to hide it, but the problem is that the topic is too sensitive. Not suitable for speaking to children.
Seeing Nanny Liu's tangled face, Nangong Yue sighed slightly, "Grandma Liu, I promise I won't say anything, besides... I'm really worried about mother." As she spoke, her eyes were already red, " Today, my mother's complexion is so bad, but I can't help her, I feel so useless."
She was choked up as she spoke, and Liu Mama's heart ached for a while. She was Lin's nanny, and Nangong Yue was also raised by her. Seeing her crying, she immediately softened her heart. "Third Miss, after the old lady returned to Rong'an Hall from Jingzhe Residence this morning, she called the second lady over and questioned Madam..." She hesitated for a moment, but continued, "What is your plan for the son..."
