Lord Shang Shu is easy to bend down

Chapter 498 Protection
Comparing pigs with Cifu's wife, only a fool like Kong can do it, the faces of the three Xie family siblings present all changed.

"Lord Gu calm down, mother is not feeling well, so she talks nonsense." Xie Yishu hurried forward.

Xie Wenhui gave her a sideways glance, only thinking that Xie Yishu's success was more than failure, even though he said it, how could he admit it?
She walked up to Xie Yuanniang, "Cousin, on behalf of my mother, I will apologize to you and Master Gu."

She was blessed.

At this time, the guests were almost gone, and there were only servants in front of the Confucian mansion, who were also watching.

Xie Yuanniang didn't look at her, but her gaze fell on Mrs. Kong, "I've always cared about Xie's family's kindness in nurturing me, and I usually respect my aunt a lot, but what my aunt said today is really unreasonable. My aunt bumped into me. Just don’t worry, and compare me with pigs, or imply that my second master can only protect pigs?”

If this crime is charged, it will be a big deal.

Kong Shi was still unconvinced, but now his face changed, "Xie Yuanniang"

Xie Yuanniang went up to her face unchanged, "What do you want to say, aunt?"

Kong met those sharp eyes that didn't give in at all, and the past scenes flashed in her eyes. She remembered how much trouble this dead girl had put in her heart.

"Mother." Xie Wenhui reminded from the side.

Even Brother Ming also came forward, "Second Cousin, I am here to make amends to you on behalf of my mother."

Looking at Brother Ming, Xie Yuanniang couldn't bear it, she walked over to help Brother Ming who was bowing, "How are you doing in the academy?"

Brother Ming's eyes turned red and he nodded.

Xie Yuanniang helped him straighten the hat on his head before patting him on the shoulder, "Go back."

Brother Ming went back obediently.

Xie Yuanniang said, "For brother Ming's sake today, I don't care about it with my aunt. If this happens next time, my aunt won't blame me for not being merciful to you."

Gu Yuan also came over at the right time, helped people into the carriage, Jiang Yi gave the Xie family a majestic look, and then drove the carriage away.

Seeing the carriage going away, Kong cursed, "What are you so crazy about?"

"Mother." Brother Ming persuaded her dissatisfiedly, "Stop targeting your cousin, she is not wrong."

You are wrong.

This sentence has been held back in Brother Ming's heart, but he can't say it.

Kong didn't want to lose face in front of his children, so he got into the carriage angrily.

Sitting alone with her little uncle in the carriage on the other side, Xie Yuanniang recalled the scene of her little uncle protecting her in his arms when she was almost knocked down just now, and her ears warmed up.

"You don't need to pay attention to Kong, she has a bad temper, and she will suffer a lot in the future."

"I'm fine." Xie Yuanniang thought for a while, "Thank you, Second Master, just now."

"When are you and I going to be so polite?" Gu Yuan thought that she suddenly became polite, as if she had changed like this since that study.

"The third prince's wedding in June. There are some things that are not ready at the Ministry of Rites. The emperor asked me to make preparations. I will live in the yamen these days. If you have something to do, ask Jiang Yi to send me a letter, and I will let Jiang Yi stay at the mansion. "

"Jiang Yi is the second master's habit. I don't have anything to do when I stay in the mansion. Second master will take Jiang Yi with me. If something happens, I will send a letter to the second master's yamen without delay."

Gu Yuan looked at her, and when Xie Yuanniang felt uncomfortable all over, he said, "That's fine."

Xie Yuanniang looked away, and didn't understand what the little uncle's eyes meant just now, as if he could see what was going on in her heart and that she was avoiding him.

In the evening, after returning to the mansion, Gu Yuan took a bath, Xie Yuanniang flipped through the book for a while, but didn't read a single word.

Han Xue came in quietly from the outside, and said in a low voice, "My servant has inquired. After the girl returned to the mansion a few days ago, Miss Min went back to Zhuangzi, and she hasn't come back today."

Xie Yuanniang's eyes lit up, "She left after I left?"

This news made Xie Yuanniang unconsciously relieved, and she didn't even feel the joy that rose in her heart.

Han Xue, "As soon as the servant came back, I heard the servants in the courtyard say that Miss Min went to see her niece in the village."

Whatever she does.

Thinking of the book she gave to her little uncle, Xie Yuanniang was very happy that this person was not at the house, especially when she was not at the house.

So when Gu Yuan came out, he saw the little girl humming a ditty while flipping through the book, he smiled and said, "Why are you so happy?"

Xie Yuanniang smiled and narrowed her eyes, "It's fine."

Seeing her obedient appearance, Gu Yuan's heart softened, and he resisted reaching out to rub her head, "It's getting late, let's rest."

Xie Yuanniang closed the book obediently, but at this time Lingmei outside said that Madam Dong was here, and Madam Dong was the nanny next to Mrs. Gu. When she heard that she was here, Xie Yuanniang thought that something had happened to Mrs. Gu. Get people in.

Mother Dong came in with something, and after seeing the ceremony with a smile, she said directly, "The old lady knew that the second lady was coming back, so she asked her to boil the bird's nest, saying that it would be good to eat it before going to bed."

Xie Yuanniang's eyes brightened, "Please trouble mom."

While letting Ling Mei take it over, she invited Nanny Dong to sit down, but Nanny Dong said it was too late, and the old lady went back first while waiting for an answer.

Mammy Dong left, Xie Yuanniang asked Ling Mei to bring it in, and Ling Mei quickly took a simple bowl and spoon, Xie Yuanniang asked her to put it down to rest, and brought out two bowls of bird's nest herself.

"Second Master."

Gu Yuan looked at the bird's nest handed in front of him, his brows were a little tight, he took it, "I'll try it first."

While the bird's nest was warming, Gu Yuan took a few mouthfuls of a bowl, and passed the bowl over, "It's not too hot, you might feel sick to your stomach if you eat it at night, so let someone take it down."

Xie Yuanniang's hands froze just as she was about to fill another bowl for her little uncle. She immediately responded, gathered the things up, and put them on the table outside. Looking at the unmoving bird's nest, would the old lady think too much if she didn't eat it? ?

After hesitating for a moment, she heard the little uncle in the room calling her, and then went in.

"It's getting late, let's rest." Gu Yuan walked towards the bed.

Although his mother was unlikely to do something like drugging, Gu Yuan was not at ease, what if Mammy Dong did something wrong?
Nanny Dong is the mother's confidant, she can die for her mother, and she can do it knowing what her mother thinks.

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly, it seems that he has to move to the yamen tomorrow, otherwise it would be really troublesome to be so worried.

Xie Yuanniang didn't know there was such a thing at all. She lay on the bed and talked about what she was doing in the Confucian Mansion for a few days, then fell asleep in a daze. , but inexplicably, as long as I lie with my little uncle, I feel very at ease, and naturally sleepiness comes quickly.
