Gongqing bone

Chapter 15 Xiao Zimei

Du Heng didn't have the idea to screw Du Shengping, but Du Ruolan was definitely interested in attending the princess's birthday banquet, so she started choosing clothes two or three days in advance, forcing Du Shengping to give her some money to buy rouge and gouache. But a little disappointment appeared on the face of the banquet that day.

Du Heng expressed his understanding, he can't fish for a wealthy son-in-law, can he?

But there was an episode in the middle. On the day Du Ruolan was ecstatic after receiving the post, she fell hard on the wooden bridge in the garden after the rain.

And because there are mostly bare rocks near the wooden bridge, although it is a blessing in misfortune to fall into the water, there are also scratches on the face and forearm.

His face was alright, because he didn't wear much in summer, and the bruise on his forearm was surprisingly healed.

This is also the reason why Du Ruolan begged Du Shengping for money to buy the best cosmetics in Beijing that are not exciting but can cover up flaws. She must make a beautiful and perfect appearance.

On that day, although the two entered the East Palace together, Du Ruolan didn't want to stay with Du Heng at all.

It's one part that doesn't like her, and the other part is that Du Ruolan thinks that Du Heng is very wicked.

Since she rescued Du Zhilan before the gate of hell last time, she didn't want to get too close to her.

Without waiting for Du Ruolan to think of an excuse to get rid of Du Heng, she suddenly saw someone in front of her, and thoughtfully, she stepped forward gracefully.

Du Heng took a look at it calmly, and followed without hesitation.

"Hey, isn't this a girl from the Xiao family? In the past, the Lin family was still there, so it's fine for you to follow. Now that the Lin family has collapsed, with your Xiao family that is gradually losing ground, do you deserve to be here?"

Du Ruolan seemed to be used to being suppressed by Du Zhilan, but now that she turned over overnight, even if Xiao Zimei had never offended her, she still wanted to try to use power to overwhelm others.

Status is really a wonderful thing, Du Zhilan usually suppresses Du Ruolan's frivolous behavior so that she won't embarrass the Du family;

But Du Ruolan, the concubine of Dali Temple Qing's family, dared to show it in front of the Xiao family's concubine, who was not considered a small family but was losing power day by day, and it was considered to be the ultimate in the profound meaning of "one person can ascend to heaven".

Xiao Zimei opened her mouth to retort, but in the eyes of the world, she is a flawless person.

What's more, if you don't argue with Du Ruolan, you can bear her for a while, so as not to invite other people to increase the trouble.

Then Xiao Zimei just accepted it so submissively and didn't even talk back.

Du Ruolan didn't feel bored seeing her like this, on the contrary, her vanity was soaring. She felt that she was like a princess in front of Xiao Zimei. She was about to ridicule again when she heard——

"Miss Du's aunt did not show up today, and her father has also been promoted to a high-ranking official recently. Are you so uncontrollable?"

When Du Ruolan heard this, her expression twisted a little, and she turned to look for the person who spoke.

After seeing the other party, he smiled meaningfully, raised one eyebrow, and said with a half-smile:

"It turned out to be the young lady of the Sheng family. I didn't know that you still had time to come to the Eastern Palace for a banquet? Recently, I heard anecdotes about the young master Sheng and his cousin. I didn't know that the main wife in this anecdote still has time to take care of other people's affairs?

Yo, look at my memory, I forgot that Miss Xiao's mother is Mrs. Sheng Shao's sister. You two ominous people finally got together. "

Lin Ling didn't directly refute what she said. Sheng Ruchi "accidentally" slept with his cousin, and blamed his mother for giving it to him. Everyone in Beijing knows that Mrs. Sheng naturally wanted to force her stubborn son to submit. ;
Sheng Yusheng, who was attacked by unknown people recently, became even more sick when he heard the news, what a stupid woman!Don't even think about his son's official career!
But Sheng Ruchi's reputation for infatuation is not for nothing. He resisted the pressure and insisted on sending his cousin far away. It is smoke from seven orifices.

In the end, it was Mrs. Sheng who made a profit and was not a human being inside and outside, so this matter has been frozen forever.

Lin Ling asked Du Ruolan directly: "Second Miss Du, you missed my sister's marriage. If you ask me, we are all unlucky people... Or, you, your former brother-in-law and your current husband, have something wrong with you for a long time. ?”

Du Heng hid behind and almost laughed out loud. The little aunt was worthy of being a little aunt, and based on observation and guessing, she guessed that it was almost inseparable.

Du Ruolan obviously weakened, with a guilty conscience:

"You, what are you talking about, who is having an affair with Sheng Yu? They are all famous ladies, I advise you to keep your mouth clean, you are really unreasonable! This lady is too lazy to stay with you!"

After all, he left angrily, or to be precise, fled in despair.

"Thank you, auntie." Xiao Zimei let go of her shy look only after Du Ruolan left, and wrapped her arms around Lin Ling's hand, acting cutely.

Although Lin Ling was not a few years younger than her, she acted like an elder, lovingly touching Xiao Zimei's little hair, and then beckoned affectionately to Du Heng who was behind, and Du Heng also stepped forward quickly.

Xiao Zimei obviously knew Du Heng's identity, and looked at Lin Ling suspiciously.

Lin Ling patted her reassuringly, "Don't worry, Zimei, Miss Du Si is different from her second sister. Auntie and her are friends."

Hearing this, Xiao Zimei let down her vigilance.The three of them still introduced each other and started talking.

"Auntie, I've also heard about the incident with my little uncle... What's going on?"

Lin Ling's face also let go of her defenses, she was completely lonely after being stabbed by her husband's family:

"My mother-in-law 'caught it' by herself, but my husband kept saying that he didn't have it, and he didn't even touch a single hair of my cousin...I believe in my husband, I don't know who else I can trust besides my husband ;
But my mother-in-law saw that my husband was a tough nut to crack, so she put pressure on me and let me adopt my cousin as the wife of the wife. Pushing it to someone else would hurt his heart;
But now, I don't know what to do..."

Lin Ling turned her head to the side, letting the tears fall in big ones, then looked up at the sky, vowing to hold back the tears.

Du Heng didn't comfort her, but clenched the fists beside her hard. The Sheng family is really deceiving people too much!

On the other hand, Xiao Zimei took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and silently wiped away Lin Ling's tears.

At this moment, Du Heng sharply saw a touch of familiar gold in Xiao Zimei's sleeve——

At the same time, Du Heng was not the only one who saw this thing.

Lin Ling also forgot to cry, and suddenly grabbed Xiao Zimei's forearm, rolled up the sleeve, and gently supported the thing that can be used as a bracelet or armband, staring blankly, and asked : "Zimei, where are you from?"
