Chapter 33
After Xiao Ruan and Xiao Ying knelt down, Mrs. Xiao rested her forehead wearily, "It's really unfortunate for the family, Ruan'er and Ying'er, from today onwards, both of you are not allowed to go out at will."

Xiao Ying's red eyes were still staring at Xiao Ruan, but Xiao Ruan's brows were calm.

"Ruan'er stay, everyone else go out."

After everyone dispersed, Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Ruan, "Ruan'er, do you know why I grounded you too?"

"It's my granddaughter who didn't handle the matter well today and made everyone laugh." Xiao Ruan's voice was calm.

But Mrs. Xiao could hear the indifference in her tone, "Hey, Ruan'er, you have to understand that you have the blood of the Xiao family, and you will be prosperous if you are prosperous, and you will be damaged if you are damaged."

"Grandson understands."

"You don't understand. In the final analysis, today's matter, you can't make it big and small. You just want to deal with it after making it big. Don't think that I don't know what you think." Old Man Xiao People are angry.

Xiao Ruan only felt chills, "Could it be that grandma is planning to make me admit that Xiao Ying didn't intend to harm me?"

"Anything can be resolved in private, but if you make a fuss in front of outsiders, not only Xiao Ying's face will be lost, but your face will be lost as well." Old Mrs. Xiao said with earnestness.

Ha, in her previous life, she endured humiliation and endured everything, but good people don't live long, and evil people will last for thousands of years.

At this moment, Xiao Ruan understood that the only thing her grandmother really cared about was the Xiao family. Although she loved herself, she would never surpass the Xiao family's position in her heart.

In an instant, all her strength was exhausted, Xiao Ruan stopped arguing, and lowered her head with a sad smile, "Ruan'er understands what grandma means."

"It's good to understand, you go back too, and think about what I said." Mrs. Xiao said with satisfaction.

It was almost dusk, and the sun emitted a dim yellow light, which shone into the room through the gaps in the plane trees in the yard.

Xiao Ruan's side profile seemed unreal in the half-brightness, "Miss?" Lian Qiao called out cautiously.

"Leave the bun down for me." The back of the head hit the ground today, and it still hurts a little.

Lian Qiao looked at the pale face of the young lady, feeling aggrieved for the young lady in her heart.She gritted her teeth, and carefully bunted the young lady's hair three times. Seeing the big bun in her hair, she almost didn't cry.

Xiao Ruan didn't care, just staring at himself in the mirror.

After a while, "Miss, it's all right."

"Yeah." Xiao Ruan changed into a comfortable plain dress again, and then stepped out slowly, standing outside the promenade and looking at the canary that was hung up not long ago, feeling a bit sad in her heart surged up.

In her past and present lives, she was the canary in this cage, ruled by fate, struggling desperately, but still trapped in it.

Putting her finger on the bamboo peg on the birdcage, "Miss, this bird is wild, if you open the peg, it will run away." Not far away, a third-class maid saw Xiao Ruan making gestures to open the birdcage, and hurriedly reminded her.

"Really? Then let it go." After finishing speaking, Xiao Ruan smiled instead, his eyes seemed to light up, "Fly as far as you can."

The little girl was stunned by Xiao Ruan's smile, and the next moment, the canary that was still chirping in the cage flew away.

"Yeah." The little girl looked at Xiao Ruan puzzled.

Xiao Ruan's eyes followed the canary until the figure of the canary became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a dot and disappeared without a trace, as if everything in her heart was broken and spread its wings and flew high.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor, Xiao Ruan restrained his emotions and turned his head to look over.

Pei Yuemei came pacing in a goose-yellow dress, her temples swaying and shining brightly.Her skin is more radiant than snow, her beautiful eyes are like a pool of clear water, and she is gentle and quiet.

No matter how many times she saw Pei Yuemei, Xiao Ruan had to say that she was indeed a beauty.However, once the beauty opened her mouth, Xiao Ruan couldn't bear to look directly at her.

Pei Yuemei frowned slightly, with a gentle expression, and the words in her mouth pierced Xiao Ruan's heart, "Ruan'er, why are you and Ying'er fighting again? How old are you, I really don't want your brother to worry."

"Why are you here?" Xiao Ruan has known her for a long time, and knows that the only way to deal with her is to hit the point.

"Can't I come? No wonder your father doesn't like you. Are you so disrespectful?" Pei Yuemei showed disgust on her face, but this expression on her face was unpopular If you get angry, you will feel that you have done something wrong.

Fortunately, Xiao Ruan is too familiar with her, so she won't be deceived by her again, "You have nothing to do with me!"

"You, I'm your elder sister-in-law, elder sister-in-law is like a mother, I can't control you anymore?" Pei Yuemei put one arm on her hip, completely destroying her image.

"Elder sister-in-law is like a mother, you deserve it too? You better take care of yourself." It's such a stupid thing, he can't figure it out and he likes to be smart.Occupying her sister-in-law's position, she was helping Gu's, dragging down her brother.How could she like Pei Yuemei like this?

"It's not because of you. Two maidservants were put in your brother's room. You are a fool, you always make trouble for your brother. It's really bad luck for eighteen lifetimes to have a sister like you."

Similar words rang in my ears, "It's all because of you, you ugly bastard, that your brother suffered so much in his official career!"

In her previous life, similar words hit her hard.But now, Xiao Ruan looked at Pei Yuemei, who was angry and raised eyebrows, and only thought it was funny.

"Hey, you can't handle the matter in brother's room, and you still blame me?"

"You still want to shirk it. If you weren't disobedient, father would use excuses to ask Aunt Gu to give your brother someone!" How could she be so unlucky to meet such a carefree sister-in-law.

Xiao Ruan was laughed out of anger, and she really laughed, "I'm stupid enough to blame others, but Gu's stuffed people, you just accept them? With your brain, even if there is no business for me, Gu's will still plug people in." , do you believe it or not?"

"What did you say? Xiao Ruan, do you still have a little etiquette? Have you learned what the ladies have learned all these years?" How could Pei Yuemei dare to call her stupid after listening to Xiao Ruan's words.

it is good!it is good!She will definitely tell Xiao Zhongheng.

Tell her about etiquette, Pei Yuemei must not be awake yet.Pei Yuemei was from a small family, she was like a dog and a pig when she opened her mouth, but she dared to mention etiquette to her.

At this moment, Xiao Ruan really hoped that he would be reborn a few years earlier, so that his brother would not marry such a woman.

She sneered, "Send those two maidservants away when you go back. If you can't get rid of them, you can just wait for your husband-in-law's red sleeves to add fragrance."

"What's the use of sending it away? With an ignorant sister like you, the maid in your brother's room can't be cut off." When she, Pei Yuemei, wanted to have other women in her husband's room?

"Then you don't have to send him away, you just wait for my brother to gradually go out of business, fail to pass the exam, and in the end all the property of the Xiao Mansion will be held by the Gu family."

The point of this sentence is actually the first half of the sentence, Xiao Ruan didn't want to add the second half of the sentence at first, but Pei Yue's brows are shallow, she doesn't think about whether her brother can get a good name in the exam, but a sentence of wealth will touch her.

Sure enough, Pei Yuemei was dubious, Xiao Ruan was so angry that her nose was crooked as soon as she said it, "You just talk nonsense. How could Aunt Gu inherit the property of Xiao's house? Father donating an official is the key."

"You! You!" Xiao Ruan pointed at Pei Yuemei angrily, "Just wait for my brother to donate his official position and then divorce you."

Pei Yuemei's eyes widened immediately, "Xiao Ruan, what are you talking about? Alright, just wait for me and see if I don't tell your brother." After finishing speaking, she flicked her sleeves and walked away angrily. Nothing left.

Xiao Ruan held his forehead, only feeling that the sky was dim.

"Lianqiao, go and invite brother over here." In this family, she and her brother used to trust Gu's, but because Pei Yuemei was chosen by Gu, they naturally formed a semi-alliance with Gu.

In this case, she should start with her brother.

After a while, Xiao Zhongheng came in with a lantern, saw Xiao Ruan standing in the corridor, and said with a smile, "My sister is home, have you had dinner yet?"

Xiao Ruan's thoughts were interrupted, but her brother's concern made the corners of her lips curl up, as if all the gloom of the day had dissipated.

Only elder brother, only elder brother will not care what she does, she is good and bad, and she is always concerned about her.

She took Xiao Zhongheng's hand touching her head, pouted slightly, "Brother, I'm not a child anymore."

"Okay, our Ruan'er is not a child anymore. It looks like you haven't eaten yet? You are still so disobedient." Xiao Zhongheng scratched Xiao Ruan's upturned nose.

Xiao Ruan wrinkled her little nose, "Then brother, use some with me?"

"it is good."

Forsythia cleverly went down and ordered the dishes to be served.

"Did you enjoy the spring feast today?" Xiao Zhongheng hadn't seen Xiao Ruan for some time, and in his heart his younger sister was always so small, followed behind him by the little guy called brother.

If Pei Yuemei hadn't told him that Xiao Ruan was going to attend the spring banquet today, he wouldn't have realized that his younger sister had grown up. He sighed, "Time flies so fast."

Xiao Ruan looked at him suspiciously, she actually didn't want to tell her brother about the spring banquet, because she was afraid that he would be worried, so she simply started another topic, "How is brother's homework these few days?"

Xiao Zhongheng shook his head, "Every child cares about this and what to do. You are not young anymore, you should learn more from Aunt Gu about the things that women workers and clan wives should do."

Xiao Ruan's eyes flashed, and she pursed her mouth to pretend to be angry, "Brother, it's true, just now he said that I belong to a family of children, but now he says that I am not young, so he will fool me."

Xiao Zhongheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's my brother's fault." Just as the maids brought food into the room, Xiao Zhongheng hurriedly said, "Is my sister hungry? Why don't you eat first."

Xiao Ruan pretended to let you go, and sat down to eat with Xiao Zhongheng. She took the asparagus that Xiao Zhongheng had brought over, thanked her with a smile, and thought in her heart, how to make her brother suspicious of Aunt Gu and raise his guard.
