Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 147 A Finger Wrench

The comfortable sunlight shines on Xie Wanqing's face through the window sills, she wakes up slowly and feels a little uncomfortable in her throat.

"Spiritual pivot? Water..." Xie Wanqing called out.

"Yes, miss is awake." Lingshu came in from the door through the curtain and helped Xie Wanqing pour a cup of tea and handed it over.

Xie Wanqing looked at the bright sunshine and guessed that the sun was already high.He asked lightly, "What time is it now?"

"Miss Hui, it's already time." Lingshu replied.

Su Wen had already filled up the washing water, and walked in with a wooden basin.

"Miss, your improvement today is much better than in the past." Su Wen said while helping Xie Wanqing clean her hands.

Xie Wanqing looked at herself in the bronze mirror, she seemed to be in better spirits, and her complexion also felt much better.

"Miss, did you sleep well last night?" Lingshu helped Xie Wanqing tidy her hair, combing it gently.

"Last night..." Xie Wanqing suddenly remembered that she seemed to feel someone entered her room at night, but she was so dazed that she couldn't wake up.

Is this a dream or...

Xie Wanqing frowned slightly, reached out and opened the jewelry box, and at the bottom was the delicate brocade box.

Xie Wanqing took the small brocade box in her hand, and the familiar coldness spread from her fingertips to her whole body.And with it comes an unrivaled sense of waking comfort.

Just after breakfast, she heard the call shouting that the young master is coming, Xie Wanqing hurried to the door to meet her elder brother.

When Xie Zian saw Xie Wanqing, the corners of his mouth naturally raised slightly.

"Greetings to brother, please come in..." Xie Wanqing smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"Wan'er is in good spirits today. The weather is nice today. How about we, brother and sister, walking around in the garden?" Xie Zi'an was dressed in white and stood with his hands bound. A strand of hair hung down from his handsome face, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

Xie Wanqing looked at her brother's handsome appearance, and thought to herself: I don't know what kind of woman in the world is worthy of my brother.

"Wan'er? What are you thinking about?" Xie Zian asked with concern.

"I wonder when my brother will let Wan'er have a little nephew." Xie Wanqing covered her mouth and chuckled.

Xie Zi'an laughed loudly and said, "You ghost, but you seem to have a different view on marriage?"

When Xie Zian said this, Xie Wanqing immediately thought of the prince's hateful face.

This person had such a vicious face in his previous life, and he was only to blame for being too innocent at that time.

"Okay, don't think about it if you're not happy." Seeing that Xie Wanqing seemed unwilling to mention the prince, Xie Zian paused and changed the subject and said, "In a few days it will be the Lin Banquet, when the time comes The dignitaries and dignitaries have started fighting openly and secretly to select young talents, and our Xie Mansion has been obscured every year, so this year we have to put some thought into it."

Xie Wanqing nodded. This year's Shanglin Banquet is a grand event for the virtuous and famous officials, and it is also a meeting for the court to fight openly and secretly. Those who can participate are either rich or noble, and their status should not be underestimated. They will treat their guests, If you recommend it and show your face in front of the emperor, you will be able to rise to the top if you get the emperor's appreciation.

In this way, one's own pulse can be more stable.

"According to the usual practice, several talented people from surrounding countries will also come, and they must be using all kinds of tricks to embarrass our Central Plains imperial court." Xie Wanqing angrily remembered that she had experienced such a grand event in her previous life, when the emperor asked the prince, and The prince didn't guess it, but unfortunately, although he was able to guess the riddle at the time, he was too shy and didn't tell it. It really made the emperor lose face, and later he punished some civil servants because of it.

"Don't worry about Wan'er, this year's Shanglin Banquet will definitely bring us back." Xie Zi'an said confidently.

Xie Wanqing looked at her brother, and always felt that Xie Zi'an was different from before. It seemed that there were many complex expressions in his eyes. Did the rebirth even change his brother's temperament?
Xie Wanqing nodded and said with a smile: "With my brother participating this year, I will definitely win a big victory."

"By the way, I came here to give you a present." Xie Zi'an had a warm smile on his handsome face.

Xie Wanqing looked at Xie Zi'an's star-like eyes and asked, "What's delicious and fun?" Xie Wanqing spread her palms in front of Xie Zi'an.

Xie Zi'an smiled dotingly, took off a black finger from the thumb of his left hand, and put it in Xie Wanqing's palm.

"This finger is so special." Xie Wanqing observed carefully, and found that there were many fine and dense patterns on the finger, but it was smooth to the touch.

"Wan'er should put it away, remember to wear it on your hand at all times, just like your brother is by Wan'er's side." Xie Zian said with a smile.

Xie Wanqing put it on her thumb, raised her head high and said with a smile, "Okay, Wan'er wears it every day."

Unexpectedly, Xie Zian quickly pressed down Xie Wanqing's arm and said, "Just put it on in the evening."

After finishing speaking, Xie Wanqing clearly saw a trace of panic in Xie Zi'an's eyes. She was wondering if this finger pull is very expensive?Or have other effects?
But Xie Zian didn't take the initiative to tell Xie Wanqing, so it was difficult for her to ask.

Afterwards, the siblings chatted for a while, and Xie Zian bid farewell and went back to the bamboo garden.

Just as Xie Zi'an left, Lingshu came over and whispered to Xie Wanqing: "Miss, I found a black shadow just now, but it disappeared without seeing anything clearly."

"It seems that someone is monitoring the Changshang Pavilion. Lingshu, tell Suwen to be more careful in doing things, and don't let anything fall into the hands of others." Xie Wanqing warned.

Lingshu nodded and agreed, "By the way, miss, today you have to go to salute Mrs. Ningmeng, shall we go?"

"Let's go, of course we have to go. I also heard that as a father, he ordered to rebuild the east courtyard, but this new wife is in full glory." Xie Wanqing said flatly.

"It's just right, we can watch a good show. When I think of the time when Aunt Liu was so angry that her nose was almost crooked, it's really satisfying." Lingshu said with a smile.

Xie Wanqing glanced at Lingshu, Lingshu immediately knew that she was talking too much, Xie Wanqing had reminded her before, don't talk nonsense, walls have ears.

"Now I'm not afraid to say these things. Aunt Liu must have scolded me a lot, but it's useless just to make fun of me." Xie Wanqing didn't show any expression on her face, but she secretly wanted to Break Liu Yuejiao's heart, otherwise Xie Siru will definitely become her biggest enemy by relying on her mother's energy.

The autumn wind was blowing and it was a bit chilly. Xie Wanqing tightened her cloak and walked towards the chrysanthemum garden where Lin Mengyao was temporarily staying.

At this time, when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, chrysanthemums of various colors, such as goose yellow, golden yellow, deep red, pink and big red, are clustered together, and the petals are not the same. There are also those that open slightly like a fan, filling the sky with a sea of ​​flowers. After the autumn wind passes, the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums hits.

Xie Wanqing was also attracted by the beauty of the chrysanthemum garden, walking slowly, immersed in the sea of ​​chrysanthemums.

"Wan'er?" Lin Mengyao came out of the room, and greeted Xie Wanqing who was looking down at the flowers.

Xie Wanqing calmed down, knelt down in a regular manner, and said in her mouth: "Wan'er greets Madam Ning Meng, I wish you eternal youth and happiness in Changchun."

"Wake up quickly, Wan'er." Lin Mengyao stepped forward and hurriedly helped Xie Wanqing up.

"Thank you, Mrs. Ningmeng, Wan'er." Xie Wanqing smiled and stood up following Lin Mengyao's strength.

Lin Mengyao said awkwardly: "I used to hear Wan'er call me Sister Mengyao, but today I have become Mrs. Ningmeng, but it seems like a lifetime ago."

"Ma'am, don't be sad, Wan'er is still Wan'er, it's just that the name has changed, but it won't affect our relationship in the past." Xie Wanqing said with a smile.

Lin Mengyao nodded, and agreed: "Yes, what Wan'er said is right, in the future in this Xie Mansion, Wan'er needs to mention more."

"What is Madam saying, if someone dares to bully Madam, Wan'er will definitely not agree." Xie Wanqing clearly expressed her position.

Now that Liu Yuejiao has been fined and grounded, she will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate if she is not in a good mood, and Lin Mengyao has just entered the mansion and her foundation is not stable, so Xie Wanqing naturally wants to help her gain a firm foothold first.

"No matter what happens in the future, Wan'er's words can be regarded as a reassurance in my heart." The corners of Lin Mengyao's mouth rose, evoking a sweet smile.

Xie Wanqing looked at Lin Mengyao sincerely, and suddenly nodded heavily, thinking in her heart: As long as your original intention remains unchanged, I will try my best to help you not fall for Liu Yuejiao's tricks and not be harassed by her.

"Ma'am, don't worry. With your current status, no one in the Xie family dares to have any unreasonable thoughts." Xie Wanqing comforted Lin Mengyao, but she couldn't help thinking about the day of her wedding. She never thought that Lin Mengyao would beg her brother to beg the emperor again. got a title.

It would be a great honor for other people to be recognized by the emperor as a wife, but they did not expect that the emperor would also bestow the title of Ningmeng. This status is obviously much higher. Right now, Lin Mengyao is still a lady of the fourth rank. She is qualified to attend some banquets in the palace.

Xie Wanqing was also thinking about it. I'm afraid what my brother said is right. Lin Mengyao is not a worry-free person, but as long as she doesn't leave the cabinet and can restrain Liu Yuejiao, there will naturally be no problems. But if the balance is broken, then It's hard to say.

Lin Mengyao stood facing the wind, and murmured: "The wind is blowing, let's go into the house tonight."

"Madam, let's go first." Although she knew that Lin Mengyao would not care too much about etiquette at this time, she still followed the rules. Her status was almost the same as Liu Yuejiao, and sometimes she couldn't give herself too many hints, so it was necessary The etiquette name cannot be changed.

Xie Wanqing and Lin Mengyao had just entered the room when they heard the voice chanting: "Aunt Liu is here!"

Lin Mengyao frowned, and the expression on her face immediately turned into worry.

"Wan'er, is she taking revenge on me because of the wedding dress?" Lin Mengyao's face was full of panic.

"Ma'am, don't panic. According to etiquette, I'm here to greet you today. I think she won't do anything in front of the public. Besides, I'll be here in the evening. Madam, don't worry." Xie Wanqing hurriedly comforted Lin Mengyao, she always It's not okay to be so impetuous.

But Xie Wanqing was wondering in her heart, but she didn't know what card Liu Yuejiao was playing this time, let's see if she came here for her purpose?
