Chapter 18
The wives of the Xiao family wanted to go to the ancestral hall with her, but Xiao Yuzhuo immediately refused, because she wanted to avoid them!If she continued to flatter her like this, she might not know who she was.

The wives quickly turned to compliment the eldest princess, but the eldest princess looked indifferent, not surprised by favor or disgrace.

Xiao Yuzhuo took the servant girl and walked slowly through the flower wall of the courtyard to the ancestral hall of the Xiao family.

Outside the ancestral hall, there are rows of pines and cypresses, which is quite quiet.

The little ladies were locked up in the ancestral hall, but the maids and servants were driven away somewhere.

Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the fruit basket in Mei Xiang's hand, and walked forward slowly.Before he reached the main entrance of the ancestral hall, he heard her name coming from the bamboo curtain.

"If it wasn't for Xiao Yuzhuo's fault, we wouldn't be imprisoned here, and Third Auntie wouldn't agree to the Wei family's marriage proposal!"

Mei Xiang wanted to step forward to scold her, but Xiao Yuzhuo waved his hands to keep her silent.

She stepped forward lightly, and looked in through the gap in the bamboo curtain.

The little girls all knelt and sat around Xiao Shiwuniang, and Xiao Shishiniang blushed with righteous indignation, "It used to be 'each hit [-] boards', but now it's fine, she's so proud, nothing happened , but we will be imprisoned here!"

"There are mosquitoes at night..."

"There's also a wild cat, it's screaming terribly..."

"It's all Xiao Yuzhuo's fault!" Sixteen Niang gritted her teeth, "It's all for us to suffer so much, wronged Fifteenth Sister to marry a dude like Wei Qilang! How can he be worthy of his sister? How can Xiao Yuzhuo marry a man of your dreams? , but we are going to be used for marriage?"

Xiao Shiliuniang cried out as she spoke, and the young ladies all sobbed along with her.

"Shut up!" Xiao Shiwuniang suddenly stood up and looked down at Shiliuniang, "Who said I was killed by her? Without her, I wouldn't have to marry Wei Qi? She said my kiss ?"

Sixteen Niang's face froze, she said aggrievedly: "Then we are imprisoned here, is it always her fault?"

"We are locked up here because of our own fault. You can't understand her. It's your business to be jealous of her! Don't use me as a raft!" Shiwu Niang said angrily.

Sixteen Niang also stood up from the ground and looked at her in astonishment, "Sister Fifteen, why do you say that about me? The friendship between our sisters..."

Shiwu Niang smiled coldly, took a deep look at her, and then glanced at the little ladies who were kneeling on the ground.

"That day in the yard, when the eldest princess wanted to beat me with a whip, where were you? When you pushed me out alone, did you ever think about our sisterhood?"

There was an eerie silence in the ancestral hall.

Even through the bamboo curtain, Xiao Yuzhuo could still feel the tense atmosphere inside.

What she didn't expect was that Shiwuniang would speak for her at this time. She thought Shiwuniang would be the one who hated her the most.

There was no sound from inside for a while.

Xiao Yuzhuo cleared his throat, and asked Mei Xiang to come forward and open the curtain.

She entered the ancestral hall, and the stagnation in the atmosphere made it even more embarrassing.

Sixteen Niang glanced at her, then quickly lowered her head and knelt down on her seat.

Xiao Shiwuniang snorted, but did not take the initiative to greet her.

"Hearing that my sisters were punished, I brought some melons and fruits to quench my sisters' thirst. It's hot, so be careful not to get angry." Xiao Yuzhuo said with a pun.

A young woman lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "Who cares about hypocrisy?"

Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head and smiled lightly, "It's true or not, I can never listen to what others say, I have to have a steelyard in my heart."

Xiao Shiwuniang glanced at her thoughtfully, then looked away.

Xiao Yuzhuo didn't stay long, let Mei Xiang put down the melons and fruits, then turned and left.

It's just that she had just stepped out of the ancestral hall, but Xiao Shiwuniang chased her out of the ancestral hall, "That... I was rude first..."

Xiao Yuzhuo turned her head, the sun was pouring down, and the smile on her mouth was even more warm.

Fifteen Niang lowered her head awkwardly, "Yes, I'm sorry..."

This was probably the first time that the two of them had quarreled and quarreled for more than ten years, and it was the first time that Shiwuniang bowed to her, and the first time she voluntarily apologized to her.

"I don't blame you." Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head and said.

"I know, so... thank you!" After finishing speaking, Shiwu Niang hid in the ancestral hall like a rabbit.

Xiao Yuzhuo was stunned for a moment, only to see the bamboo curtain clattering on the door frame, and his mood brightened like the scorching sun.

It's just that this bright mood didn't last long, and it made her suffer again.
