The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 155 Return the Hairpin to Me

He hasn't had time to tell Xiao Ruan about the situation of the Xiao family in detail, but she seems to have learned a lot.

"My sister-in-law received so many greeting gifts as soon as she entered the door. Shouldn't there be greeting gifts for us juniors?"

Xiao Ruan stood up straight after serving tea with Huo Xun, when he suddenly heard a critical voice behind him.

When Huo Xun turned his head, he found that the person speaking was Huo Yixuan standing behind Qian Shi, and he frowned unconsciously. When Qian Shi saw this, he immediately turned his head and pretended to accuse.

"You girl, why are you so shameless and impatient, you have taken the initiative to ask for gifts!"

The Qian family wanted to win Xiao Ruan over, seeing her daughter being so rude, she quickly apologized to Xiao Ruan with a smile.

"Auntie doesn't have to blame my younger sister. My younger sister has a straightforward personality. It's too late for my daughter-in-law to like her. This is much better than doing it face to face and doing it behind her back."

"Ah, yes, the new wife said..."

Qian Shi was just being polite, but unexpectedly Xiao Ruan gave her a serious response. She always felt that this new daughter-in-law had something to say, but for a while she couldn't figure out whether the other party really meant something.

After a while, after looking again, there was a touch of deep meaning in the eyes.

"Zhuyun, Forsythia, quickly bring up the meeting gifts prepared by me and all the brothers and sisters."

After Xiao Ruan turned his eyes, he immediately called the girl to distribute the prepared gifts to all the peers present.

Long before she got married, Ruan Youzhen, as the elder sister-in-law, taught Xiao Ruan a lot of experience as a bride. She also helped Xiao Ruan analyze the characteristics of everyone in the Korean government one by one, and together they chose some meeting gifts.

It can be said that these meeting gifts prepared by Xiao Ruan are not particularly expensive, but they are also very etiquette and fit the other party's preferences.

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

The Liu family's sons and daughters seemed to have been reminded a long time ago, and they thanked Xiao Ruan joyfully as soon as they received the gift, while the others opened the brocade box and took a look before showing joy and thanking repeatedly.

Xiao Ruan stood beside Huo Xun, looked at Huo Xun with a smile, and suddenly heard an extremely discordant voice behind him.

"How precious is the gift from sister-in-law, it's just a broken hairpin!"

Huo Yixuan made a "cut", and took out a jasper exquisite hairpin from the box and held it up to her eyes.

Everyone looked at the hairpin in her hand, saw that jade hairpin was green all over, unique in shape and extremely cute, so they fell silent.

"This kind of hairpin can be bought for at most 50 taels of silver. My sister-in-law is really generous."

Huo Yixuan waited for a while but no one agreed with her, her eyes were annoyed, and she was about to say something sarcastic again, but she saw Xiao Ruan walking towards her with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if sister Yixuan doesn't like my Cong's meeting gift, just return it to me."

After speaking, Xiao Ruan stretched out her white and tender hand and put it in front of Huo Yixuan, waiting for the other party to return the jade hairpin to her.

"you you……"

Huo Yifang never thought that Xiao Ruan would take back the gift she sent out, and she was stunned suddenly when she saw the white and tender hands of the other party, and now she couldn't react.

In fact, this jade hairpin was not as bad as she said, but it was because she couldn't understand Xiao Ruan's complacent appearance and deliberately picky.

Now that Xiao Ruan directly reached out to ask for it, she was a little bit reluctant.

The others in the room did not expect that Xiao Ruan would actually take back the gift, they were all in a daze.

"Sister Yixuan doesn't like my gift at all? Why is she suddenly unwilling to return it?"

Xiao Ruan saw the reluctance in Huo Yixuan's eyes, and sneered in her heart.

The jade hairpins she sent out today are all from Xu Ji Jewelry in the capital.

Xuji jewelry has been passed down for nearly a hundred years, and there are a large number of skilled masters. Even people in the palace often come here to purchase, let alone ordinary people.

Because Xiao Ruan wanted to give meeting gifts, these meeting gifts should not be too expensive and not too shabby, Ruan and the shopkeeper of Xuji Jewelry discussed together and helped Xiao Ruan choose some suitable jewelry.

Although the price did not exceed a hundred taels, it was several times more expensive than the pearl hairpin on Huo Yixuan's head at this time.

If Huo Yixuan didn't like it, she would really wish for it.

"Yixuan is ignorant and can't see the value of gifts from younger siblings, so I hope younger siblings don't care and let me accept them for younger sisters."

While the two were confronting each other, a sinister voice suddenly sounded, and Xie Fang suddenly stretched out a hand to take Huo Yixuan's injured jade hairpin.

Xiao Ruan turned her head and saw a man suddenly walking out beside her.

The man's face was gloomy, and his eyes were dark, giving people a very gloomy feeling, and he was very difficult to get close to.

But at this moment, he was staring straight at Xiao Ruan, and there seemed to be a faint light in his eyes, which made Xiao Ruan a little surprised.

Looking at Huo Xun beside him with questioning eyes, Xiao Ruan keenly noticed that there was more hatred in Huo Xun's eyes looking at the person who came.

With his eyes fixed, Xiao Ruan quickly understood the identity of the person in front of him.

Huo Xun has a deadly rival in the Duke's Mansion, who is Huo Yuan, the eldest son of Erfang.

And the man in front of him, who kept claiming to be Xiao Yixuan's elder brother, and also called himself a younger brother and sister, was clearly Huo Xun's deadly enemy, Huo Yuan, the second eldest son.

His eyes froze, Xiao Ruan immediately raised the corners of his mouth, and lowered his arms: "Since the eldest brother has said so, I naturally can't ask for it back, and I hope that sister Yixuan can understand that not everyone gets gifts from others." one's gift."

"What the brothers and sisters said is true."

Huo Yixuan heard the sarcasm in Xiao Ruan's voice, and immediately became furious, but was stopped by Huo Yuan when she was about to explode, and spoke to her in an extremely polite and friendly manner.

But seeing Xiao Ruan saluted him generously and turned away with Huo Xun, a light flashed in his eyes.

In the past, he didn't have any impression of Huo Xun's fiancée, he just thought of it as an ordinary woman married by the other party in order to gain Taifu Lu's support, but today's meeting really surprised him.

Facing Han Han's embarrassment, this woman not only did not change her face, but also deftly resolved it; she saw the contest between Qian and Liu, but she couldn't tell; she was deliberately provoked by Huo Yixuan, and she was neither humble nor pitiful, and unexpectedly stepped forward Asking, he is really a rare and wonderful person.

For a while, when Huo Yuan looked at Xiao Ruan who was standing side by side with Huo Xun, there was a deep look in his eyes again.

"Okay, I'm a little tired after you all toasted the tea, let's go!"

Seeing that Huo Yuan had resolved the conflict just now, Han Han Gong flashed approval in his eyes, and immediately waved for everyone to disperse.

Back in the room, Huo Xun saw Xiao Ruan let out a long sigh of relief, hugged him in his arms, and said softly: "I really wronged you just now."

The man's voice was full of guilt, and there seemed to be some kind of unspeakable ambiguity hidden in his eyes. Xiao Ruan felt a gloomy look on his face when he recalled the scene of serving tea just now.

"Why didn't I see the second room's aunt today?"

The Duke of Korea dotes on his concubine, but Xiao Ruan observed quietly today, and found that there are other people in the room who are older, besides Mrs. Duke, and I really don’t know which one is the concubine who makes Duke Han happy. concubine.

"It's just an aunt, how can I accept tea from you and me!"

As if a forbidden thing was mentioned, Huo Xun's face became very ugly, he let go of Xiao Ruan's body, held up his clothes in anger, and sat aside angrily.

Seeing him so agitated, Xiao Ruan rolled his eyes and immediately stepped forward to comfort him.

"Huo Xun, now you and I are husband and wife, what else can we not say? Why don't you tell me about the whole Duke's Mansion, so that I can adapt here as soon as possible?"

Holding the teapot, Xiao Ruan poured a cup of herbal tea for Huo Xun, and handed it to him, wanting to calm him down, but seeing that there was still anger on the other side, he could only slowly sit down on the seat opposite him .

"I see that the reason why your first wife is always being manipulated by the second bedroom is because of your grandmother."

The situation in Lu Guogong's family is complicated, and it is even worse than Xiao's family.

The Xiao family is not that good, the old lady is a sensible person, as long as Gu's overdoing it, she will definitely teach her a lesson.

But there is no other person in charge of the Huo family except Mr. Han, and Mrs. Mrs. Guo, who was able to shock the inner court of the mansion, looks timid and timid.

It's no wonder that such a headed mistress is forced by a concubine to have no real power.

As the son of the Duke's wife, Dafang is said to be a son of a son, but in fact he does not have the air of a son of a son.

According to Xiao Ruan's observation of his real father-in-law just now, he also inherited the softness of the Duke's wife, and if he gave in to the second room, naturally don't blame the second room for bullying the first room.

"You... how could you think so?"

When Xiao Ruan was thinking like this, Huo Xun showed a surprised expression.

He didn't understand when he was young, but as he grew older, he also felt that his own grandmother cared very little for him and his father's family.

Even when Duke Han asked Huo Ming to hand over the position of son, his grandmother didn't object at all.

Those little dissatisfactions were all backlogged in my heart, but when Xiao Ruan brought it up today, it was like a flood that opened the gate and couldn't be stopped. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that what Xiao Ruan said made sense.

"Grandma has ignored us for so many years, do you have any way to make her..."

Huo Xun was puzzled, but when he saw Xiao Ruan staring at him with a smile, he was a little dazed, not understanding what Xiao Ruan meant.

"A real man's ambition is everywhere, and he will not be involved in family affairs. If you really want me to help you, you'd better tell me about the attached things."

The woman in front of him stared at him with a smile that was not a smile, and there was an indescribable light in her eyes, which inexplicably made Huo Xun feel that Xiao Ruan was capable of facing the family's difficulties.

His eyes flickered, thinking of his suspicion of her just now, Huo Xun suddenly realized that he had underestimated the woman in front of him.

"That being the case, let's start with me breaking Huo Yuan's leg..."

Seeing a look of regret in Huo Xun's eyes, Xiao Ruan remembered the rumors he had heard, immediately straightened his expression, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully.
