Rebirth from Nirvana: Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 35

But before Mrs. Chen could leave, she heard the voice of the second old lady: "Eldest daughter-in-law, come and talk to me."

Mrs. Chen was startled, but then calmed down again, obediently replied, and sat beside the second old lady.

The second old lady had a pungent personality in her early years, and she suffered a lot under the hands of the old lady, but the two of them can be regarded as harmonious, and they don't have so many disputes when they get old, especially after the death of the old lady. There were disputes, and sometimes, the second old lady would even make up the minds of Xiao Manor's matters, so naturally Chen did not dare to neglect.

"I heard that the little girls in the yard have been making a lot of noise recently?"

The second old lady was asking about the sickness of those girls, but she used the word "trouble", obviously she knew something.

Chen lowered her head and said very modestly: "Mother, the children are all grown up, and you have to fight for some things by yourself. It's okay to suffer from your own brothers and sisters, as long as you don't go out to suffer from others in the future." gone."

Chen's meaning is, let those girls go about their own troubles.

The second old lady nodded when she heard the words, and seemed to agree.

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, that is also the business of other people's children. You are a mother, and you are not too young, so don't meddle with it."

Just as Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, the voice of the second old lady came. It wasn't a harsh word, but it made Mrs. Chen's heart tense for an instant.

What the second old lady said was a pun, she was talking about the matter of those girls fighting to the death, and the matter of Chen's plan to frame Xiao Xiao just now.

Chen was sweating all over for a while, just thinking, what do these two old ladies mean?Are you going to protect Xiao Ling?Could it be that Xiao Ling has already gotten close to the branch of the second old lady so quickly?Or did the first old lady and the second old lady instruct you to tell yourself?
"My mother taught me that it was the daughter-in-law who treated them like children and couldn't let go of them for a while."

Chen's mind is also very fast, she said this with kindness, but it seems like how to care for those children.

The second old lady didn't tell the truth, just nodded, leaning on the soft bed, quietly writing.

The second old lady is a rich person. She is dressed in blue with long hair, embroidered with large peonies, with an emerald head and a forehead. She must have caught a cold because of the recent temperature change. She sat for a while , and said: "Boss is coming back soon, did he bring you a letter?"

Mrs. Chen was still in astonishment at first, but after hearing what the second old lady said, she was pleasantly surprised, and even the heavy mood just now dissipated a lot.

"Then, Xiao Lang is coming back?"

After Chen finished speaking, she realized that she had lost her composure. She just smiled and didn't speak, but a blush appeared on her face, which was very attractive.

The elders of the Xiao family have been doing business all year round, and it is common for Shenlong to see the head and see the end, and never see anyone.

"It is said that you are coming back. You have managed things in the mansion better recently. You also know Da'er's temper. You are most displeased with the smoky atmosphere at home."

These words are reprimanding the Chen family, saying that the Chen family is not strong enough to manage the Xiao residence well.

Chen's face turned red, but he just bowed his head and said yes.

At that time, the sky outside was already getting dark. Although the weather was gradually getting warmer, it was not as bright and sunny as summer.

Xiao Ling walked back with very slow steps. Jin Niang, who was following behind, was a little puzzled, but she still followed with her hands down.

But when Xiao Ling circled the third circle and walked a small path a little far away from where he lived, Jin Niang couldn't help it.

"Girl, it's getting so dark, where are we going?"

Xiao Ling smiled, but still walked slowly: "Don't worry, we are here to beat the dog in the water."

When Jinniang heard this, she was a little puzzled, but she still followed.

The two walked all the way, and finally came to a road, just in time to hear the sound of someone in front, Xiao Ling smiled, and heard some sharp curses.

"Xiao Xun, this little rascal, really thinks I'm a bully!"

That voice was very familiar, although it was trembling and full of resentment, but it could still be heard that it was Xiao Yu's voice.

Jinniang couldn't help being startled, Xiao Yu was elegant and charming in her impression, why is she so vulgar today?

"Xiao Xun, I will make you pay the price sooner or later—cough cough, cough cough!"

A coughing sound replaced the cursing sound at that time, Xiao Ling heard that he had almost heard it, smiled, and walked out of the path while talking to Jin Niang.

Just in time, I saw Xiao Yu standing under the flower vine opposite, covering his red lips with a handkerchief.

"Sister, what's the matter? But she's still seriously ill?" Xiao Ling's eyes narrowed, and he walked over with worry, stepping on small steps quickly, the resentful expression on Xiao Yu's face hadn't been put away, Xiao Ling had already arrived in front of him .

"It's okay, it's my sister's sudden illness."

Xiao Yu's expression changed quickly, but when he lowered his head, it was still difficult to conceal the resentment: "You didn't scare my sister, did you?"

"What did my sister say? My sister is worried that it's too late." Xiao Ling grabbed Xiao Yu's palm and carefully touched her forehead with the back of her hand: "Why is my sister's forehead so cold? I heard that my sister was seriously ill yesterday. How did you come out?"

"My sister just came out for a walk, so please trouble my sister."

Xiao Yu replied with a half-smile, the expression on his face was a little flat, but his face was still not very good-looking.

"Sister, I heard that the fifth sister is also seriously ill, and my sister still wants to see the fifth sister."

Xiao Ling smiled kindly. At first glance, I really thought Xiao Ling was affectionate and sincere.

"My sister is not in good health, so I should go first. If my younger sister wants to see Fifth Younger Sister, she can go by herself."

Xiao Yu's face became more and more ugly, and after saying this, he was still coughing and a little out of breath, and was helped away by the maid beside him.

"Miss, the palace banquet will be held in the next day. The second girl is like this, I'm afraid it won't get better."

Seeing Xiao Yu looking like he was about to vomit blood, Jinniang couldn't help sighing and said, then paused, then said strangely: "Girl, just now the second girl scolded the fifth girl so hatefully, but because of the second girl's illness, Was it the Fifth Girl's fault?"

After finishing speaking, Jinniang covered her mouth in panic again, and seeing that there was no one around, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then blamed herself again: "Girl, it's because the slaves talk too much."

Xiao Ling just smiled, didn't say anything, turned around and walked forward.

Seeing that Xiao Ling didn't intend to go back, Jinniang opened her mouth to ask, but she closed her mouth again remembering her slip of the tongue just now.

Xiao Ling followed the path to the courtyard where Xiao Xun was.

From a long distance away, he could feel the lifelessness in the courtyard. Xiao Ling just pretended that he couldn't see it. With a smile on his lips, he walked all the way to the door of the room. Only then did a maid discover Xiao Ling.

"Ah, third girl!"

The servant girl let out a cry of surprise, and immediately turned around to report: "Girl, the third girl is here to visit!"

There was a rustling sound in the room immediately, and Xiao Ling stood at the door, pretending that the maid was in a hurry and couldn't see it.

"Why is my sister here? Don't blame my sister for being slow and late." The door was pushed open, but Xiao Xun actually greeted her in person, presumably because she was extremely guilty.

"My sister just came to see my sister. My sister is not in good health. Why did you come out by yourself?"

Xiao Ling took Xiao Xun's hand with a worried expression and walked in, then complained to the maids: "You maids, you don't know how to take care of you, your own master can't take care of you well, what else can you do?"

Xiao Xun just smiled, she always defended her shortcomings, and was not very friendly with Xiao Ling, today Xiao Ling scolded her maid like this, she didn't even make a sound, even Jin Niang who was following her felt a little strange.

"Third Sister, sit down." After finishing speaking, she went to order a maid over there: "Go and bring some pastries."

Xiao Ling just waved his hand: "No need, why should my sister do this?"

"My sister has worked hard, and I have to travel so far to see my sister."

Xiao Xun smiled and wanted to continue talking with Xiao Ling. She didn't believe that Xiao Ling came here just to see her.

"It's not just me who came to see my younger sister. Just now I saw the second elder sister coming too. It's just that the second elder sister's body is caught in a gust of wind and cold again. I'm afraid it will be even worse."

After Xiao Ling said this, Xiao Xun felt a little uncomfortable. Xiao Xun just pretended that he didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Ling's words, and smiled embarrassingly with his head down.

"My sister knows, what is your illness?"

Xiao Ling gave Jinniang a look, and Jinniang backed away. Xiao Ling just leaned over and whispered to Xiao Xun.

Xiao Xun's heart was pounding.

How could she not know what disease she had?It was the medicine she personally administered, but she didn't expect that Xiao Ling and Xiao Lingyin were fine, but Xiao Yu and herself were tricked.

She originally thought that she was afraid that she would be cut off from the palace banquet, but the maid suggested to herself that she might as well replace the second girl and forget it. Anyway, as long as she goes, it doesn't matter who she replaces?
Just thinking about it, she became ruthless. Just now when the second girl, Xiao Yu, came to ask herself, what can I take to get better from this disease, she refused to recognize her relatives, and refused to admit that the medicine was given by herself. Said that the second sister occasionally feels cold, I am afraid I am confused.

Xiao Xun still remembered the resentment when Xiao Yu left. She knew that she might offend Xiao Yu to death, so she calmed down and thought about it carefully, and felt that her method was not right, but she had done everything, so what else?
When Xiao Ling came, Xiao Xun was still a little flustered, thinking that Xiao Ling had listened to some news and was looking for himself to settle accounts, but Xiao Ling didn't look like this, Xiao Xun's thoughts went back and forth, and finally decided Come down, since you have offended Xiao Yu, you must not offend Xiao Ling again.
