Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 258 You Will Need It
When Shen Shangshu thought of inviting back that difficult eldest daughter who never saved him face, his heart felt as if he was being grabbed by someone, and his face was not relaxed, so he cupped his hands and did not insist on sending him off, but only sent her away. The butler saw off the guests.

Yu Miao was tall and tall, her body was lean and muscular, and her two long straight and slender legs took steps like stepping on a breeze, and the butler could barely keep up with her panting trot.

Yu Miao was walking fast, passing a bamboo forest, but stopped suddenly.The housekeeper who was chasing after him almost hit his rock-like back.Quickly took a few breaths.

But Yu Miao laughed lightly and said, "It's almost winter, yet there is such a green color, it's really refreshing."

"This is the bamboo that was raised by a gardener from the south. It took several years to plant it! It's not beautiful now. When it snows, it's white everywhere. Only here is sapphire. That's what makes you happy!" The housekeeper took a breath and said enthusiastically with a smile on his face.

Yu Miao nodded, "It's snowing in the northwest now, and there are only two seasons in a year. Now you can't see such a green color."

As he spoke, he took two steps towards the bamboo forest, as if he liked the green bamboo very much and wanted to appreciate it.

The housekeeper said with a smile: "General Yu comes back very rarely. If you like the scenery in Beijing, you might as well stay in Beijing for a while. The Empress Dowager and Uncle Guo also miss the general very much!"

Yu Miao nodded slightly, but did not speak. She raised her hand and grabbed a bamboo leaf, holding it in her hand, as if she was playing with it.The butler felt that General Yu's words and deeds were really incomprehensible, but he suddenly saw Yu Miao waving his hand and throwing the thin bamboo leaf in his hand, which was undoubtedly a bamboo leaf. He pulled it up and down, but when he threw it from his slender fingers, it was like a sharp dart, and the sound of the rapid piercing through the air seemed to be right next to his ears.

"what--"

A girl's scream, accompanied by the sound of a "dart" piercing a bamboo pole, came from the depths of the woods.

"Who?! Who's watching over there? There are visitors at home, didn't I tell the maids everywhere not to wander around?" The butler immediately changed his face, thinking that General Yu was really discussing bamboo with him, and wanted to come to General Yu Has it been discovered that there are snoopers hidden in the bamboo forest?
"Who is hiding there? Since you have the guts to hide and watch, why don't you come out and see?" Yu Miao said slowly.

The butler was taken aback, wondering in his mind, which maid in the courtyard was so courageous?Just as he was about to scold him, he heard footsteps in the depths of the bamboo forest, really getting closer.The butler stared in surprise, only to see a slender and bright light yellow figure walking out of the greenery.

Mingdong's youthful complexion, fair face, clear eyes, and light footsteps, she is not someone else, but her fifth lady.

"Fifth lady, you, why are you here? Didn't the master already explain that there are visitors at home, so don't..." Before the butler could speak, Shen Wuniang interrupted his voice.

"You go back, butler, I'll see off the guests." Shen Wuniang leaned towards Yu Miao, and said in a light and natural tone.

Hearing this, the housekeeper was slightly taken aback, what happened to the fifth lady?A young lady who has not left the court, came to see off the master's male guest?How can there be such a reason?
"Fifth Lady, this is General Yu, a great general in the northwest frontier, who is not often in the capital, so you don't recognize him."

"I see, Steward."

There was no surprise on Shen Wuniang's face, she still raised her hand to let the housekeeper go down.

The butler was completely stunned, not knowing what to do for a while, if it was someone else, he would have yelled at him long ago, but the fifth lady has been particularly fond of the master recently, the master almost always obeys the wish of the fifth lady, and never speaks loudly to the fifth lady Seductive.

"The butler, please go ahead." Yu Miao also said with interest, with the corners of her lips curled up.

The housekeeper bowed and nodded, and said with a little embarrassment: "The hospitality is not good, I hope General Yu Haihan!"

He didn't even know whether he should introduce the fifth lady who suddenly appeared from the depths of the bamboo forest. He raised his head and glanced at the fifth lady. He left quickly, still looking at the situation in the bamboo forest from a distance.After all, General Yu is a young and vigorous gentleman, at a young age, and he came back from the bitter cold frontier, if he did anything wrong to his little lady, he had to react immediately.

"What's the purpose of Wu Niangzi waiting here on purpose?" Yu Miao lowered her head, looking down at the petite and exquisite Shen Wuniang, and said indifferently.

"You recognize me?" Shen Wuniang raised her face.

Yu Miao frowned, "It's just like you know who I am."

Shen Wuniang nodded, "Since that's the case, I won't go around the bush. If General Yu comes to my house, it must be because of my elder sister?"

Yu Miao looked down at her and didn't speak.Neither admitted nor intends to deny.

"The elder sister is now Princess Qi. King Qi and Uncle Yu have always been on opposite sides. Although I don't understand the political situation in the court, I can understand such a discerning thing. My father can't help you, maybe I can help General Yu." Shen Wuniang trembled slightly with her hands hanging in her sleeves, but she forced herself to speak calmly.

"Can you help me? Help me for what?" Yu Miao asked with a sneer as if she had heard something funny.

"That depends on what General Yu needs from me?" Shen Wuniang gritted her teeth under his wanton staring eyes.

Yu Miao laughed lightly when she heard the words, and suddenly Fu approached her, raised her hand to lift her chin, and stared into her eyes, "You keep calling elder sister, since she is your elder sister, why do you want to help an outsider?"

Shen Wuniang gritted her teeth, and in his approaching eyes, she saw herself showing a little nervousness, her mouth and nose were full of his domineering breath, and she seemed to hear her heartbeat rumbling like a thunderous drum, "General Yu, since If you know who I am, you must have already inquired about the Shen family's affairs, so how could you not know about my entanglement with Eldest Sister?"

Yu Miao showed her neat and white teeth when she heard this, "Your uncle's family was forced to leave the capital by her, and your mother was killed by her head under her persecution. , and now even a concubine wants to please her. Losing her mother to protect her daughter, you flatter her on the surface, but in your heart you hate her who ruined everything for you, right?"

Shen Wuniang seemed to have been poked into her weak spot, her wide eyes seemed to be holding back tears, she couldn't cry, she couldn't shed tears, that was a sign of weakness, after losing her mother, she no longer had the right to be weak.

"You are just her defeated opponent, and I don't need the help of a miserable loser!" Yu Miao straightened her upper body suddenly, away from Shen Wuniang, and took away the finger hooked on Shen Wuniang's chin.

The oppressive force around her suddenly left, Shen Wuniang suddenly felt her body lighten, she raised her hand to grab the bamboo beside her, and then stabilized her steps.

"You need it!" Shen Wuniang gritted her teeth and said.

Yu Miao stopped looking at her and turned to leave the bamboo forest.

Shen Wuniang stood on the spot, watching his back walking out of the bamboo forest, and gradually drifting away.Her heart was pounding violently, but it didn't calm down, instead it got faster and faster.

The place on his chin where his fingers were hooked seemed to still have the warmth of his hands. Although he had gone away, his domineering aura still seemed to be lingering around.He said, without the help of a fiasco?No, she is not a miserable loser. Before she lost her mother, she never regarded a daughter who had been abandoned by her family in a remote village for so many years as her opponent. She had nothing, no favored mother, no loving father, Without a supportive uncle's family, why should she compare herself to herself?
She has never put Shen Xinniang in her eyes.It was her carelessness that led to the current situation.

She has never faced a serious challenge, so how can she be considered a failure?Now that she has grown up, she has to settle the old scores, she has become serious, it is not certain who wins and who loses!

General Yu will need her, he will!They will be opportunities for each other, and they can achieve each other's goals together!She doesn't care who owns the world, whether it's Uncle Guo or Prince Qi, what does it have to do with her?She just wants to see that the person who forced her mother to death has a bad life, so that she can also taste the life she is trying now, and see her kneeling at her feet in pain!

Shen Wuniang didn't know how long she had stood in the bamboo forest. When she returned to the boudoir, her hands and feet were already icy cold, but the light in her eyes was unprecedentedly firm.

·
"This wine is so fragrant. Before it was clarified, it didn't look so beautiful in color! Now it's served in this white jade wine bottle, smelling the aroma and looking at the color of the wine, it's really mouth-watering!" Dan Xin held the wine in both hands. The wild wine that has been brewed almost drools into the wine bottle.

Jin Xiang immediately stepped forward and snatched the white jade wine bottle from her hand, "Sister Danxin, be careful! If you drool longer, this first glass of fine wine will be completely ruined!"

"How is it all ruined?" Dan Xin pinched his waist, "Give it to me quickly, you are greedy, and you are here to tease me?"

Jin Xiang held the white jade wine bottle in both hands with a smile on her face, and looked at Shen Xinniang like a greedy cat, "Madam, let the servant girl taste the first glass of fine wine?"

Shen Xinniang nodded, "Taste it."

Before Dan Xin had time to go forward to snatch it, Jin Xiang raised his face and poured the wine into his mouth. It had a mellow taste, a lingering fragrance, and a long and mellow aftertaste.

"Good wine, good wine!"

Jin Xiang looked fascinated, holding the white jade wine bottle with both hands, and her eyes fell on the wine bottle, as if she was not looking at the wine glass that she had drained, but her sincere love.The eye sockets were even moistened by the mellow taste.

"It's not just wine, it's a kind of emotion, a kind of mind, and a lady's character. It's really insulting to say it's wine, fruit wine..." Jin Xiang said very seriously, with a very serious expression, a hint of joke There is no meaning at all, after finishing speaking, he turned his face away and touched the corner of his eyes with his sleeve.

Dan Xin was very surprised, and stared at Jin Xiang with wide eyes, "Lady, what's wrong with her? It's just a glass of wine, she drank it all, and I can't snatch her away, can she still spit it out for me? She poured it out Still feel wronged?"

Jin Xiang didn't seem to hear it, she didn't pay attention to Dan Xin's words at all, if she would have jumped up to refute it on weekdays, she was exceptionally quiet today, she just walked to the side silently, squatted down, and clarified the wine in the wine jar Well, scoop some out and put it in a more delicate small wine jar.
