Chapter 228 The Strange Things (1)
Sitting opposite is the sister of Second Grandma Liu, who came with her mother to visit her sister who gave birth this time.She is only twelve years old, but her eyebrows and eyes already have the air of a lady, and her lips look like her sister's.Their mother and daughter lived in Hou's Mansion for ten days, and they had to come to Liu's Mansion every day. Madam Liu stayed overnight and they moved there.

She saw Tian's expression in her eyes, and secretly worried for Ruoxi.She knew that her sister had a very good relationship with this second sister-in-law, so she first had a good impression of Ruoxi in her heart.After living in the Hou Mansion, she was attracted by Ruoxi's indifference.But she also knows that in a wealthy family, it is inevitable that there will be open and secret fights between sisters-in-law.The Tian family is strong and has a prominent family background. Right now, he clearly shows his dislike for the second sister-in-law. I don't know how many things will happen to her.

Ruoxi seemed to feel her gaze, raised her eyes and gave her a reassuring smile.After all, Second Grandma Liu just came out of the full moon, so she took the child back without sitting for a while, and her younger sister followed.

"Where did Si Yatou go?" Mrs. Hou asked Ruoxi in a low voice.

Ruoxi realized that Wan Xia was gone, she replied softly: "Maybe it's to wash your hands, I'll look for it." Most of the people at this table were people she didn't know well, and she was sitting uncomfortably, so she just took advantage of looking for Wan Xia The leisurely Yuko went out to get some air.

Madam Hou snorted softly, complaining in her heart about running around in Wanxia.She also wanted all the wives present to see Wan Xia, and if someone came to propose a marriage, she would choose again.When she went out this morning, she took a special look at Wan Xia's attire.A jasper red tights, with a brocade inlaid floral skirt underneath, looks generous and decent.I just don't know if it was Aunt Zhao's idea, or if Ruoxi helped clean it up.

Ruoxi quietly withdrew from the table, thought for a while and went to the back where there were few people.She remembered that there was a small pavilion in a secluded place over there, the scenery looked beautiful, and she went there with Second Grandma Liu.He is not good at communicating with people in his spare time, so he probably went to hide.

She walked along the path, turned around the flowers and saw the small pavilion from a distance, and there was indeed a familiar figure inside.Uh!Why is there someone behind the pillar?It seems to be a man!
But seeing the man's figure flicker, he quickly walked in the opposite direction without showing his face.Ruoxi didn't intend to see clearly, which made each other very embarrassed.

When Wan Xia saw her coming in, her face was flushed with panic, and she was busy trying to say something.

"This is not a place to talk, come with me!" She took Wan Xia's hand and dragged her out of the pavilion towards the banquet.

Almost at the place, Ruoxi looked back at her, and patted the back of her hand to comfort her a little.The two returned to the banquet, Madam Hou smiled and called Wan Xia over.

There were several wives nearby, and Mrs. Hou asked her to greet them one by one.Wan Xia's temperament was already dull, but just now she was still in shock, stiff and cramped, and somewhat absent-minded.Mrs. Hou was annoyed when she saw it, and said to herself: "It's really dog ​​meat that won't make it to the table, and I want to help her find a good marriage, but which mother-in-law would like her with her wooden appearance?"
When the banquet was over, everyone left one after another.Although Ruoxi was in the same car with Wan Xia, but because of Fei Hong's presence, she could only hold back her words.After returning to the Hou Mansion, Wan Xia followed Ruoxi back to Linfeng Residence with her head down.

Ruoxi dismissed the girls and mother-in-law, bowed their heads and drank tea without speaking.

"Second sister-in-law, things are not what you think!" She said with a blushing face after holding back for a while.

Ruoxi raised her head to look at her when she heard the words, before replying after a while: "I was lucky to be caught by me today, if it were someone else, I don't know what troubles would happen. No matter what the truth of the matter is, the hat of lonely men and widows dating I can't take it off. The fourth younger sister has always been careful, why did she act like this?"

"I..." She bit her lip and frowned.

"If the fourth sister is inconvenient, don't say it." Ruoxi replied when she saw this, "I will forget everything I saw, and you must never see him again!"

"I've made it clear to him today, in the future... there's no future!" Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly.

This clearly has a story!Seeing the sadness on her face, Ruoxi couldn't help feeling sorry for her, and went to hold her hand to comfort her.Unexpectedly, Wan Xia threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.

Ruoxi patted her on the back lightly and let her cry happily. Seeing that she was almost crying, she said: "Don't cry, your eyes will be swollen for a while and others will think that my second sister-in-law bullied you." Came over to Jinpa to help her wipe away her tears.

Wan Xia saw the stagnant tears welling up again, "Second sister-in-law, thank you!"

"Sister-in-law is better than mother, so you don't have to be polite to me." Ruoxi smiled lightly and replied, "Isn't it much happier to cry? You are too introverted, you like to keep everything in your heart. You don't even think about it , After all, how many things can be pretended by a big heart? Put them in one by one, and you won’t be suffocated to death! Let those unhappy things flow out with tears, and live happily ever after.”

"If it wasn't for the second sister-in-law, I wouldn't dare to cry at will!" She smiled wryly and wiped the tears off her face.

Ruoxi wrung out a clean towel and handed it over, she hurriedly took it to wipe her face, and tidied her hair a little.

"The tea is cold, I'll ask the girl to make another cup." Ruoxi just wanted to call the girl, but she stopped her.

"Second sister-in-law, I have something to tell you." She took a sip of herbal tea, "Do you still remember the person we met in the downtown area when we went to Liu's Mansion last time?"

Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then remembered that young man who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and seemed to have vaguely seen him at the gate of Liu's residence.Why did Wan Xia mention him suddenly? Could it be that person in the pavilion today... No, how could Wan Xia have anything to do with him when he stays at the house all day?

"His name is Meng Kuo, and he is the third-class bodyguard next to the First Prince. The last time the Liu Manor held a three-baptism for the child, he was ordered by the First Prince to deliver congratulatory gifts. Later, when I entered the palace to wait for election, I saw him again occasionally. A shy red cloud appeared on Wan Xia's face, "Although I have no intention of staying in the palace, other people don't think so. Seeing that I have the support of the concubine De, they think that I will definitely stay in the palace. I was polite and friendly, but secretly played tricks and bullied me. I ran to a place where no one was crying, and he comforted me when he saw him. Later, when I saw his clothes scratched by branches, I sewed them up for him, so I became familiar with him. I didn't expect that I would be sent out of the palace when I was 'ill'. When he heard the news, he asked someone to bring me a jade pendant. Today, I saw him when I got off the carriage at the door, so I wanted to return the jade pendant, so... I've made it clear to him, and there will be no further involvement in the future!" When she said this, she showed a sad look on her face, and it was not difficult to see that she had a good impression of Meng Kuo in her heart, maybe not just a good impression.

Ruoxi had been listening quietly, after a moment of silence, she suddenly asked: "Meng Kuo, how old are you?"

"fifteen."

"Who are there in the family?" Ruoxi continued to ask.

"He's been an orphan since he was a child, so it's poor." Wan Xia met Ruoxi's playful eyes after returning, and her face suddenly swelled up.
