Chapter 55
Xiao Ruan tapped the table with her index finger, and immediately understood what Pei was thinking.From the moment Pei Shi glared at her that night, she knew that Pei Shi resented her for causing things to make Xiao Zhongheng rush ahead.

Heh, did Mrs. Pei think that she would be safe and sound by swallowing her anger? Looking at her previous life, she knew how cruel Gu and Xiao Ying were.

"It's okay, from now on, you only need to send tonic soup, and the rest is fine as long as it doesn't cause conflict."

This means that you don't have to worry about Mrs. Pei, Zhuyun understands.

"Those two people in the chaifang, did you ask something?" Xiao Ruan squeezed the space between his eyebrows.

Zhuyun took out a piece of paper with fingerprints on it from his bosom, "It's all here."

"Oh?" She just tried to ask Zhuyun to interrogate, but she didn't expect such high efficiency.

Xiao Ruan took the paper and glanced at it quickly.At the end, he sneered, "Ms. Gu is planning to force me to submit. Give this to grandma. One of the two will be sent back to the Cheng Mansion and the other to the Yamen."

Zhuyun should leave.

In the evening, Xiao Ruan heard that Mrs. Gu seemed to have persuaded Xiao Hong to go to the old lady to bring Brother Yu back.

It's a pity that the old lady was very stubborn this time, and she didn't agree no matter what.

"Don't tell me that brother Yu can't live without his biological mother. Go, bring brother Yu here." The old lady turned her head to Chen Xiang who was beating her shoulder and said.

Chen Xiang appeared with her nanny holding brother Yu who was already sleeping peacefully, the old lady gave Xiao Hong an indifferent look, "I've seen it, did I treat your son harshly?"

Embarrassment immediately filled Xiao Hong's face, and he said in panic, "Mother, you have wronged your son to death, isn't your son afraid that Brother Yu will make trouble for you because of his small size?"

Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, "Hold it down."

"You don't have to worry about me, you should care more about your son! You know, when he first arrived in Rong'an Hall, he was grinning all over his mouth?" Mrs. Xiao was heartbroken. She really didn't think of Brother Yu. The education problem is so serious.

Xiao Hong looked at Mrs. Xiao blankly, "Brother Yu? He really made mother angry."

Mrs. Xiao slapped the table and became angry, "That good son of yours, you are going to poison this one and that one. In the whole family, only her, the Gu family, is a good person, and everyone else is persecuting him, and he will poison him." Can't you die?"

Xiao Hong's cold sweat really broke out. Brother Yu has always been well-behaved and studious in front of him. He never thought that his mother would say this. He was puzzled and said anxiously, "Mother, this?"

"Why? You don't believe it." Mrs. Xiao rolled her eyelids, her voice was flat.

"No, mother. It's my son's negligence. Please take care of me." Xiao Hong didn't dare to say anything more.

Mrs. Xiao sighed when she saw him like this. After thinking about it, she finally didn't take out the confession paper that Ruan'er asked to bring over in the afternoon. Believe whatever you say."

Xiao Hong was a little uncomfortable, but he finally agreed, and then returned to Lixiangyuan full of anger.

"How is it? Master, did Brother Yu bring you back?" Seeing Xiao Hong coming back, Mrs. Gu hurriedly looked back.

Xiao Hong pinched Gu's shoulder and said angrily, "You still have the nerve to tell me, take a look at what you have taught Brother Yu to be like?"

Gu Shi was pinched by Xiao Hong, inexplicably heard his words, and suddenly froze, "Master, what are you talking about?"

"What did I say? I think he is controlled by you so lawlessly that he dares to speak rudely to his mother." Xiao Hong pushed Gu Shi away with a very gloomy expression.

Mrs. Gu was pushed and sat down on the ground, tears welled up immediately, she didn't care about it, she just let the tears stay silently, but her eyes were full of mourning, "Master, Brother Yu is still so young, what can he understand, It could be that he was misled and influenced by others. Your own son, don't you know what it looks like?"

Xiao Hong paused, and hesitated a bit, after all Brother Yu has always been very well-behaved in front of him, even the gentlemen in the courtyard praised him a lot.

Out of the corner of Gu's eyes, Xiao Hongsong caught a glimpse, and covered the corners of his eyes with his hand, "Master, how could you treat me like this? Brother Yu was taken away by the old lady, and everyone in the yard was watching me as a joke. Missy came again Here I am... woo woo, how can I still live! My concubine thought that I could rely on the master, but the master..."

Xiao Hong was completely softened by Gu's crying, and he helped Gu up with some self-blame, "Okay, stop crying. What did Xiao Ruan do?"

"What can she do? She can throw Cheng Jijiu's son into a brothel, and even let Cheng Jijiu come home. What can I do with her?" Gu Shi tilted her head, half-true and seven-five Sadly.

Xiao Hongxin was used to her, and when she heard this, all her attention was on Cheng Jijiu's son, the brothel, and Cheng Jijiu's visit to the house.Subconsciously thought that it was Xiao Ruan who threw his son into the brothel, and when Cheng Jijiu came to the door to question him, he immediately became angry, and did not think about why Xiao Ruan threw him into the brothel.

"This evil, she won't be reconciled if she doesn't bring down our family, right?" Xiao Hong said angrily.

The corners of Gu's mouth curled up secretly. Although she knew that Xiao Hong's statement could not be true, it was true that Xiao Hong would not let Xiao Ruan marry Gao.

"Master, then Brother Yu..."

"Brother Yu, don't worry, just let your mother take care of her for a while, she will never treat her own grandson badly."

Gu twitched the corner of her mouth with difficulty, "Don't worry, master, I understand."

"Okay, I have something to do tonight. I'll go to the study first, and then I won't come over." Seeing that the matter was over, Xiao Hong thought of his mother's dislike for Gu Shi, and he had no intention of staying.

What he didn't know was that not long after he walked out of the pear fragrance courtyard, there was a crackling sound from the pear fragrance courtyard.

Xiao Ruan's news was brought back by Lian Qiao, she hugged her stomach happily when she heard it, and narrowed her big eyes, "Gu's can be regarded as a self-defeating fruit."

"No, miss, what Xiao Xuzi said is wonderful. The servant girl is stupid, and what she said is not good enough."

"Xiao Xuzi?" Xiao Ruan was puzzled.

When Lian Qiao heard it, she suddenly remembered that the young lady didn't know, "That little Xu Zi is the boy in the blue shirt who led us to the gazebo that day. He is a distant roomer from Madam Deng's house, and now works in the outer courtyard of Rong'an Hall."

Only then did Xiao Ruan remember that incident, and praised, "Well, he's not bad, he's smart enough."

Xiao Ruan's side is much more relaxed because of Gu's confinement. He reads books every day, or prepares spices.

When it comes to spices, Xiao Ruan doesn't have much talent in this journey, at most he mixes them according to the fragrance recipes.However, sometimes her unintentional actions allowed her to concoct a lot of unique things.These things were stored separately for the time being, and she subconsciously felt that they might be used at any time.

Xiao Ruan's days are now leisurely, and sometimes he will personally deliver some soup to Xiao Zhongheng.

Xiao Zhongheng's courtyard and study room were named Yixuan Building, which was given to him when he was ten years old.Well, at that time, the eldest brother of the Xiao family especially admired Wei and Jin style, a little, um, hypocritical, of course he didn't think so.

To the east of Yixuan building is the study room, and to the west is the bedroom and the back house for the wives and concubines, separated by a small bamboo forest.

I don't know if it was a coincidence that she went there, but she didn't meet Mrs. Pei once.

On the contrary, I encountered a few maidservants arguing outside the bamboo grove, as if it was about whose turn it was to serve in the study.At that time, Xiao Ruan pretended not to hear anything, and just passed in front of them.On the contrary, a few maidservants turned pale with fright and hurried out of the way.

Xiao Ruan found it interesting and funny, but she didn't know what her brother thought.No matter what, this Yixuan building will be turned upside down.Or do men think that there's nothing wrong with making noise in the backyard, as long as it doesn't affect them?
Anyway, she has given Pei all the points she should give, and if he is not willing to treat you as an enemy, there is nothing she can do.

"Miss, the young master's soup is almost ready, do you want to deliver it today?"

From the time Taifu Lu sent Mrs. Liu to the present, many things came up one after another, and Xiao Ruan also forgot to ask her grandmother to open a small kitchen in the yard.So, now Mrs. Liu stews everything in the big kitchen, and then Zhuyun brings it back.

Xiao Ruan put away the book in his hand, "Go and bring it here, I will go with you."

Zhuyun responded and went to the big kitchen.

"W-Is this too much?"

"What are you afraid of, just want more." There was a hint of evil in this voice.

Zhuyun was a little puzzled, she stepped into the kitchen, only to find that Mrs. Liu was not there, but there were two maids in the kitchen.

Seeing Zhuyun, the expressions of the two servant girls changed and they left in a hurry.

Zhuyun was a little puzzled, but didn't care. Seeing that the soup on the stove was almost done, she went to find something to fill it out.

When Zhuyun was almost ready, Lady Liu stepped into the kitchen, holding her belly in one hand, "Oh, it hurts me to death."

"Madam Liu, this is?"

"Bamboo girl is here. I have spoiled my stomach by eating too much these past few days. Is the soup for the eldest son ready?"

"It's all good, Mrs. Liu, let's go and rest now."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Bamboo girl."

Zhuyun carried the soup box, Xiao Ruan hugged Tuantuan, and went to deliver the soup to Xiao Zhongheng as usual.

She went there frequently in the past few days, the boy at the door of Xiao Zhongheng's study saw her and consciously made way for her, "Hi, miss."

Xiao Ruan nodded, stretched out a hand and pushed open the door of the study, "Brother, Miss Liu made ginseng sparerib soup today, drink it while it's hot." Zhuyun behind him turned his head and glanced at the bamboo forest not far away. Some doubts.

Xiao Zhongheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, and took the soup box with gentle eyes, "Thank you sister."

"What's the hard work? I'm just running errands." Saying that, Xiao Ruan stuffed the balls to Xiao Zhongheng, and served Xiao Zhongheng a bowl of soup with his own hands.

Xiao Zhongheng picked up the spoon and blew. Suddenly, Tuantuan in his arms shook his head and sneezed several times.Later, when Xiao Zhongheng was about to drink soup, he suddenly pushed his head away from him.
