The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 493

In the evening, the relatives of Rongkang Hall all left one after another. Xiao Nan and his wife sent their brothers and sisters-in-law out and watched them leave, and then they went back to the Weiyuan Courtyard, beating their sore shoulders.

Cui Youbo still had business to do, so he went to the study first.

Xiao Nan went to the clean room to take a shower, changed into a wide-sleeved single-silk skirt that he usually wears at home, and came to the main room with his wet hair on his head.

In the main room, Yuzan and Tie Niangzi are instructing a few young maids to register the congratulatory gifts received today, and bring the precious and rare gifts among them, so that Xiao Nan can have a look.

Xiao Nan sat on the couch, Yu Shui hurriedly followed behind her with a cotton towel, gently helping to wipe the wet hair.

"Lady, this is the registered booklet, please have a look!"

Iron Lady came to the bed with a booklet that had been ordered, opened the title page, and handed it to Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan leaned on the table, leaning on the table with one hand, flipping through the booklet with the other, her memory is not bad, she vaguely remembered the birthday gift she received last year, compared with the one in her hand, there was a subtle difference.

Well, the Cui family, Xiao Nan's relatives, and her girlfriends are still the same as last year, but they send some common things like fabrics and jewelry.

However, there were a few families who gave gifts that were three cents thicker than last year, and these few families had mediocre personal relationships with Xiao Nan himself, presumably they came here for Cui Youbo's face.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that I would be able to fall in love with this man!"

When she was reborn, Xiao Nan always wanted to train the scumbag hard. After seven or eight years of hard work, it seemed that it had finally achieved results. In this life, she might still see the day when Uncle Cui gave her a royal order.

It stands to reason that at the moment Xiao Nan was disappointed with Cui Youbo, this man finally came to his senses and worked hard to correct himself step by step. Although she would not have high expectations for him, she would not be disappointed either.

But, for some reason, perhaps the current Cui Youbo has changed too much, making Xiao Nan feel at a loss.

The person who was originally firmly in the palm of his hand suddenly had his own thoughts, and became smart, cunning, and even had the ability to control himself. Such a situation made Xiao Nan feel a little uneasy and apprehensive.

In fact, Xiao Nan also imagined that he could have a strong man who could rely on her and protect her from bullying.

But, but over the years of her rebirth, she has gotten used to making decisions on her own, and her style of acting is also a little bit strong. She is really not used to facing a man who has become more powerful and more powerful.

Take the case of Geng Zixi as an example. She has investigated all the situations clearly and made various preparations in advance. She originally thought that she would directly throw those evidences in front of Geng Zixi and Sun Ling, so that they could overcome difficulties Withdraw, he disappeared in the capital.

However, Cui Youbo disagreed, he insisted on waiting for Geng Zixi to make a fuss by himself, and then give them a complete end.

Xiao Nan still clearly remembered Cui Youbo's expression when he spoke that day, it was so cold, so cold, and so vengeful.

Only seeing Xiao Nan's heart palpitate for a while, until then, Xiao Nan understood a truth, no matter how gentle and useless Cui Youbo behaved on weekdays, he was a pure ancient man in his bones, and he was a decisive, cruel and ruthless ancient man.

Women can be cruel to themselves, but men are best at being cruel to others.

Compared to Cui Youbo, Xiao Nan felt that she was really kind and soft-hearted.

In the end, although Xiao Nan was dissatisfied, he still followed Cui Youbo's wishes and handed over the evidence to Cui Youbo, letting him handle the matter.

Yesterday, Geng Zixi went to the yamen to hand over the pleadings, and this matter broke out as Cui Youbo wished, and it was even bigger than he expected.

Xiao Nan could clearly see that when Cui Youbo talked about this lawsuit, what flickered in Cui Youbo's eyes was not irritability or worry, but excitement, a kind of fiery excitement gushing from the bottom of his heart.

"...Forget it, just listen to him this time!"

Xiao Nan sighed for a long time, hiding these thoughts in his heart.

Yuzan and Iron Lady next to her were still arranging presents. Suddenly, Yuzan noticed something strange. She looked at the label on the box—Rongguo Duke's Mansion.

Is this sent by Mr. Li Family? !

Yuzan pulled off the ribbon on the box and opened the lid. Inside the box, which was one foot long, six inches wide, and four inches high, there was a black-gold leather long tube. The long tube was about six inches long and two inches in diameter. There is also a lock buckle on the top, the lock buckle is extremely delicately designed, like a mask, the place where the nose protrudes is the keyhole, if you don't look carefully, you can't tell that it is a lock.

Yuzan picked up the long tube, and there were two copper keys under it, she thought, these should be the keys of the lock.

After thinking for a while, Yuzan put the long tube back into the box, and then came to Xiao Nan holding the box, "Princess, look, this is a birthday present from Mr. Li's family. The servant girl has little knowledge and has never seen it before." What about something like this?"

Xiao Nan was curious, what was Yuhan not seen before?

You must know that Yuhan is in charge of her private treasury, not Xiao Nan's boast. In her private treasury, there are hundreds of rare treasures, and any one of them can attract a lot of attention.

Faced with such a warehouse all day long, Yuhan is even more knowledgeable than some ladies from official families.

After receiving the box, Xiao Nan also frowned slightly: Li Rong gave such a long leather tube, what is it for?And the keys?

Picking up the keys, Xiao Nan inserted one of them into the keyhole on the mask, she turned it lightly, and with a click, the lock opened smoothly.

Xiao Nan pushed back the cover, squinted at the opening, and looked carefully, but there was nothing there.She turned the long tube over again and shook it vigorously, but there was still nothing.

Li Rong gave her an empty tube?

Xiao Nan's forehead twitched, shit, a leather container that didn't put anything in it, you put on a woolen lock.

He was really full and had nothing to do, but he thought of some tricks to play tricks on people!
Xiao Nan closed the lid angrily, and then threw the key back into the box, "It's nothing, it's just a clever thing. Put it in the warehouse with those things later."

Seeing Xiao Nan's expression was unkind, Yuzan didn't dare to say anything more, agreed, and went back with the box in her arms to continue sorting out the congratulatory gifts.

It wasn't until the Jade Rabbit ascended to the east that Cui Youbo came back with a tired face.After washing up, he still chatted with his wife habitually.

Xiao Nan took the opportunity to talk about Wang's asking her to help with the housekeeping: "Ah Han is going to get married next month, and my sister-in-law is really too busy, so I asked me to help her take care of the housework."

Cui Youbo didn't care about these trivial matters in the house, but thought that this move would help bring the two brothers closer together, so he smiled approvingly: "Okay, since sister-in-law trusts the lady, she will help her manage the housework well. "

After speaking, he changed the subject again, and said with a little teasing: "Of course, my lady, don't be too tired. We still have a lot of things here, and Changtai and others need my lady to take care of them."

Xiao Nan nodded and said with a smile: "I know what to do, I won't lose sight of the other."

The couple chatted and laughed for a while, but neither of them mentioned the lawsuit against the Jingzhao Mansion. Obviously, in the minds of the couple, that lawsuit was just a small case, and there was no need to worry about it at all.

After talking a few gossips, Uncle Cui took out a delicate wooden box from his sleeve pocket, pushed it in front of Xiao Nan, and said softly, "My lady, happy birthday!"

Xiao Nan was startled, but soon realized that Uncle Cui would give her two congratulatory gifts every year: one was a gift that could be taken in public and registered in the register; the other was personally delivered by him when the husband and wife got along in private.

"Thank you, Aaron,"

Xiao Nan also had a rare intimacy, picked up the box, and gently opened it. As expected, there was a flower-headed hairpin carved from white jade inside, which was still carved by Cui Youbo himself, but it was obvious that the workmanship of this one was far superior to that of Five years ago, the first one Xiao Nan received was much more exquisite.

The first white jade hairpin can only be regarded as a hairpin. Today's one is close to the edge of a work of art. Xiao Nan believes that as long as Cui Youbo keeps in touch, maybe in another ten or two years, she will be able to receive it. It is enough to pass down the treasures and masterpieces of later generations.

Cui Youbo smiled ambiguously, he took Xiao Nan's hand, rubbed her delicate and smooth skin with his fingertips, and said, "My lady doesn't think that just saying 'thank you, Alang' can get rid of me?"

"..." Damn, molesting my old lady again!

Blow the lamps, put up the curtains, and then be harmonious~~~
The next day, when Mrs. Wang went to pay her respects to the eldest lady, she casually reported that she was too busy recently, so she invited the eldest lady from Dongtang to come over to help.

When the eldest lady heard this, her face immediately became gloomy, and she reprimanded unceremoniously: "You are going to be a grandmother, why are you still so ignorant? Xiao's family still has a large family to take care of, how can she have time to come and help?" What's more, I told you that you were too busy, so I asked Mother Zhao to help you, but you made many excuses, as if my people were too useless..."

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and let the lady reprimand her without refuting a word.

The eldest lady trained for a quarter of an hour before she said slowly, "Forget it, since Mrs. Xiao has already agreed, there is no reason to go back on her word. However, she is the mistress of Rongshou Hall after all, so she can't always look after her here. , How about this, I will also send Mama Zhao over to help Xiao Shi, and you, just concentrate on preparing for Ah Han's marriage."

Wang had long expected that the eldest lady would not agree easily, and seeing that the eldest lady just stuffed her with someone, she was a little relieved.Because she believed that as long as Xiao Nan was around, let alone Zhao's mother, even Da Furen would not be able to get any advantage.

After paying her respects, Mrs. Wang led Mother Zhao back to the Yinghui Courtyard. At this time, the lady in charge who came to do the business had already been waiting under the corridor.

Mrs. Wang called people in, first introduced Mother Zhao to everyone, and then said: "Everyone knows that I am a little busy these days because of my aunt's affairs, so I specially invited the lady of the princess from Dongtang to come over to help Take care of housework for two months..."

Everyone knows Xiao Nan, and they know that this person is not easy to mess with. It is said that several servants who were punished by Xiao Nan half a year ago are still lying on the kang to recuperate from their injuries. When they heard that their wife invited this female evil star When I came to the housekeeper, my first reaction was fear, and my second reaction was to tell relatives and friends that I must be careful in the next two months. If I hit the gun of the princess's wife, I will lose my skin if I don't die. ah.

The next day, at the second quarter of the first day of the lunar new year, the lady in charge of Rongkang Hall came to report on time. Everyone had different expressions and stood under the veranda with different thoughts, waiting for the arrival of the female evil star.

However, a quarter of an hour passed, half an hour passed, and Xiao Nan was still nowhere to be seen.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, could it be that before this person arrives, they are going to show off first? !
