Lu Deyuan's gratitude to Xiaocao went even further. What happened to him was a great shame and humiliation for any man. She upheld his dignity and saved his face, allowing him to no longer remain in the dark and also gave him hope.
Of course, there is another point. This cousin gives people a different feeling. Usually when encountering such things, they will more or less reveal strange expressions, as if they were half-stripped naked in public, ashamed and angry. But she didn't do that. Really not at all. It seemed like a trivial matter and she didn't need to take it to heart at all. Or maybe she just had a very positive attitude and didn't care about the right or wrong of others.
If everyone in the world is like this, why would there be people who are persecuted by all kinds of rumors
Xiaocao walked to the old lady and took care of her health.
"Very good. You have been there every morning and evening, and you didn't miss it this morning either. What could be wrong?"
Although it sounded like she was impatient, Xiaocao just smiled good-naturedly.
The old lady glanced at Wenren Hui and Lu Deyuan, then her gaze fell on Xiaocao, her meaning was obvious.
Xiaocao shook her head gently and did not answer.
The old lady understood, and stopped asking questions. She did what she could, and naturally didn't care about the rest.
"Madam, the Han family has arrived. The eldest lady wants the fourth young lady to come over." The maid came in to report.
The old lady nodded and said, "Go ahead, Fourth Girl. You should get closer to your grandparents. You are the protagonist today, so you will be busy."
Xiaocao was also a little worried about what happened today. It was the first time in her life that she met so many guests at one time.
If you meet too many people at one time, it is easy to develop "face blindness", but there is no way. Since you have entered this family, you naturally have to adapt to the circle that this family belongs to. There is no possibility of escape, so Xiaocao cheered up.
When Xiaocao rushed over, the women of the Han family had already entered the second gate.
When Xiaocao appeared, everyone's eyes fell on her.
It's a bit scary! Xiaocao hesitated for a moment, calmed down, and walked to Han's side. Han took her hand and introduced her with a smile. Xiaocao greeted everyone one by one.
"Oh, good child, good child, go and ask grandma to take a good look at you." Old Madam Han was so touched, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, your mother's worry is finally gone." She rubbed the bracelet on her wrist and then put it on Xiaocao's hand, "In the future, go to the Han family more often and kiss your sisters more."
Compared to the seriousness of Madam Wenren, Madam Han is outwardly kind, plump and cheerful.
Medical students usually keep their wrists clean. The only thing she wears all year round is the bracelet with the silver needle. During the years she was with Tingyu, she had good food and clothing, but she didn't have anything particularly expensive. So Xiaocao didn't know much about jewelry. Even so, she knew that this bracelet was probably not cheap. It was crystal clear and full of water. Besides, didn't she see the burning eyes that were about to burn a hole in her wrist? Not to mention the cousins, even her aunt was secretly looking at her hand.
"Grandma, this..."
But before she could finish her words, Madam Han held down her hand that was rubbing the bracelet and interrupted her with a smile, "A gift from an elder cannot be refused." She touched Xiaocao's wrist and said, "The color of this bracelet can be worn by people of all ages. Our sister Xuan looks good in it."
Han glanced at the others calmly, smiled and patted Xiaocao's arm, "Thank you, grandma."
Xiao Cao blinked, why did it seem like something happened that she didn't know about? Looking carefully, the envious and jealous look was gone, so it really wasn't an illusion? But what exactly happened
Xiao Cao thanked Madam Han and silently took the things.
The group went to the old lady again, and the male guests of the Han family went to pay their respects first. Of course, they were all juniors, and the oldest was Uncle Han—the person who looked the most like Wenren Hui. Not to mention, the uncle and nephew really looked alike—Grandfather Han and the other uncles had not left the government yet, so it should be relatively late. Because of something, the male hosts of the Wen family all "left early" today.
Xiaocao received another large wave of gifts. Except for Madam Han who stayed to talk to Madam Wenren, everyone else left and went to find entertainment. In fact, every family's banquet was similar, and the entertainment methods were also similar.
After leaving Madam Wenren's courtyard, halfway through the journey, she suddenly saw a stranger not far away, obviously a servant. Han frowned and was about to say something, but was suddenly stopped by her sister-in-law from her natal family. She lowered her voice and said, "That's the entourage of Prince Wei. Prince Wei is here too."
"Prince Wei?" Han was stunned for a moment before she responded, "The prince of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion who is disabled?" As she spoke, she looked over carefully. A clump of grass and trees next to the rockery covered the follower's shoulders. He stood respectfully with his brows lowered. His master should be in front of him, but he couldn't see it from this position. Instead, a little bit of the wooden wheelchair was exposed below, and it looked like it was just a corner of a thin blanket hanging down. "Pingyang Marquis's Mansion doesn't seem to have anything to do with our family. This prince..."
"My aunt probably forgot that my seventh brother's wife is the aunt of Prince Wei, and her mother is the half-sister of Prince Wei's grandmother, but the relationship doesn't seem to be very close.
I don't know why, but the Prince of Wei actually came to our Han family two days ago. Although the possibility of him becoming Marquis of Pingyang in the end is almost zero, he is still the prince after all, so we in the Han family have to serve him well.
What's more strange is that he just stayed at the Han family without interacting with anyone. When someone came to visit and said a few words of concern, he looked at people gloomily, which made people's scalps tingle. His style was even more impressive than that of the host. He was not a guest, but a ancestor.
He stayed here for two days without knowing why, and today he asked to come with us to visit someone else. I don’t know if he has any problem.” Mrs. Han’s attitude was casual, and there was a hint of contempt and dissatisfaction in her words.
It was indeed a bit strange to say this, but Han's eldest sister-in-law's attitude was really unpleasant. Han looked at her. She was the apple of the Han family's eye. Before she got married, her eldest sister-in-law had always been at her beck and call. After she had been married for a long time, and with the fact that her eldest sister-in-law's brothers were doing well, she became more active.
Han was too lazy to respond, "Here you are, guests, so you should..."
Han, who wanted to step forward, stopped talking because the servant pushed his master away, leaving them with only his back.
Mrs. Han chuckled, "My sister-in-law wants to do her best to show her respect for the host family, but there is someone here who seems to be quite arrogant and doesn't give you face."
"I'm just a woman in the harem. It doesn't matter what kind of face I have." Han said calmly.
