Chapter 70
The hall was silent for a while, Xiao Ruan sneered, turned around and sat down at the table, drinking tea leisurely.
Mrs. Gu's face is a bit uneasy. She has been with these noble ladies these days, and she has already uttered big words about her daughter's marriage to the Huo family. Now that she has been slapped in the face, how can she stand up in the future?
What's more, today's banquet was originally to celebrate Ying'er's marriage. Now that the marriage has not been said, it has caused a lot of trouble. How can Ying'er get married if it gets out?
After those wives and ladies figured out what was going on, their attitude towards Gu Shi had already turned 180 degrees in their hearts, but thinking of their past friendship, it's not easy to add insult to injury now.
"Oh, so Ying'er has no engagement now? Then many young masters in this city will be overjoyed." Mrs. Wu was the first to recover, went up to hold Xiao Ying's hand, and said with a smile.
The other wives also echoed when they heard this.
"Yes, and I also heard that Mr. Huo of the South Korean government is not like other sons. Most generals don't hurt people. Besides, didn't they say that he has a weird personality and cruelty a few days ago? Yinger didn't It is God's will to promise him!"
Although the lady who said this was jealous of crowds, so she spoke in a low voice, but it was enough for Xiao Ruan next to her to hear her.Now everyone started to belittle Huo Xun, why didn't they remember this when they praised him just now?
"What this lady said is true. It's her blessing that my younger sister didn't marry."
Xiao Ruan said such a sentence abruptly, which made the wives who spoke just now a little embarrassed. How could they forget that Miss Xiao is going to marry Huo Xun!
During the banquet, Ji Shi, who had been keeping his composure all along, slowly walked over, stood beside Gu's group, and said to Xiao Ruan who was drinking tea.
"Ruan'er, it was your grandmother's intention to tell you to the South Korean government. Since your grandfather said you are close, it will not be bad at all. Don't listen to outsiders' slander."
Ji Shi has always been gentle and generous, but now he spoke in a soft voice, which made a group of people blush with shame.
Xiao Ruan was grateful in his heart, and got up to bless Fushen, "What my aunt said is that Ruan'er will naturally not let someone who wants to succeed."
Xiao Ying, who was already very angry, became even more furious when she heard the conversation between these two people, but there were too many people and she couldn't get angry, otherwise she would have to go up and slap Xiao Ruan twice!
The banquet ended like this, Xiao Ruan didn't get up to see off the guests, after all, most of the guests who came today were close friends of her Gu family.Ji Shi stayed and said a few words of kindness to her, and then left.
"Xiao Ruan, don't think that you are proud of marrying into the Korean government. No one in the capital knows that Huo Xun is an unpleasant person! Even if you marry, the Korean government may not recognize you! Now the Korean government Huo Xun is not the head of the house!"
Without outsiders around, Xiao Ying tore off the mask of hypocrisy, and every word she said was tinged with thorns.
Xiao Ruan was not affected, she stood up with a light smile, and slowly approached Xiao Ying.
"Oh? Really, then why is your good mother trying to snatch this marriage away from me? It seems that my aunt is doing it for my own good. She would rather push her daughter into the fire pit than let me suffer."
Xiao Ying was speechless by her words, how could there be such a thick-skinned person!
"Of course my mother is doing it for my own good! Xiao Ruan, you are a lowly girl with no mother or father, just wait and rely on your unreliable man!"
People are like this, they don't hold back their words when they get angry, if Xiao Ruan didn't know Xiao Ying's nature, who would have thought that the second young lady of the Xiao family, who usually doesn't speak very loudly, would say such vulgar words.
"I'm a cheap girl?" The smile on Xiao Ruan's face slowly disappeared, no father loves her to admit it, anyway, she has no hope for that father for a long time, but she always talks about her dead mother, Xiao Ruan can't bear it.
"Xiao Ying, you come from a noble family. You take advantage of Miss Xiao Er's reputation to pretend to be noble, but here you call an aunt as your mother. No one knows how low you are in your bones! Relying on men? If you want to rely on men, you can let that A capable mother will tell you a lesson for you, don't shamelessly come and snatch me!"
"Besides, if you rob me, you have to have the ability! I, Xiao Ruan, have sworn to the ancestors of the Xiao family long ago that I will never let you and your good mother touch each other again in this life. Anything I say, I do."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ruan turned her head coldly and walked away, leaving Xiao Ying alone in the hall, and she didn't even notice when Mrs. Gu returned from seeing off the guests.
"Ying'er, you... what's wrong with you?"
Seeing her stunned look, Mrs. Gu's first reaction was that Xiao Ruan bullied her daughter, so she cursed Xiao Ruan while asking questions.
Xiao Ying didn't move until she heard the voice. She held Gu Shi's shoulder slightly tremblingly, and became incoherent when she spoke.
"Mother, Xiao...Xiao Ruan, it's too scary, I...Mother, she must not live!"
A stern look appeared in Xiao Ying's eyes, she exuded a murderous look all over her body, Mrs. Gu was frightened by her daughter's words, quickly covered her mouth, and said in a low voice: "My Haoying'er, it's okay for you to say such things to your mother." Don't make it public! Don't worry, mother will definitely not let Xiao Ruan feel better, I want her to taste that life is worse than death!"
Back in the yard, Xiao Ruan didn't say a word, just lay on the wicker chair in the yard to watch the sunset after taking a bath, and didn't even touch his favorite pastry.
Tao's mother in the distance was a little worried. During the time she came here, she found that Miss Biao was not like those ordinary girls who didn't understand housework. How can she not worry when she is depressed like this?
"Lianqiao, what should Miss do?"
Mother Tao grabbed Forsythia who was about to deliver fruit, and asked worriedly.
Lian Qiao didn't know what to do, "This is the first time for Miss, she doesn't care no matter how many tricks Aunt Gu and Second Miss use, but I think it's because of Mr. Huo this time... eh, yes, I'll go and hug Miss Tuantuan."
Tuantuan is the best way to please the lady, and it was sent by Mr. Huo. Maybe the lady will feel better when she sees it!
Lianqiao was overjoyed, and hurriedly passed the fruit in her hand to Mama Tao asking her to take it over, while she ran to hug the dog.
A few days ago, Tuantuan looked a little sick, Xiao Ruan was worried that he would not be able to take care of him, so he specially cleaned up the room and asked experienced servants to take care of him.
The evening breeze gently patted on her body, Xiao Ruan closed her eyes, thinking back to what happened at the banquet just now, it turned out that she accidentally let the idea of Gu's mother and daughter hit Huo Xun, I really don't know If you relax a little more, what kind of serious consequences will there be?
Suddenly there is a strange feeling around the feet, hairy.Xiao Ruan opened his eyes and saw that Tuantuan was rubbing against him.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing this little guy, Xiao Ruan immediately felt her mood improved.
"Miss, the nanny who took care of Tuantuan said that Tuantuan has been eating normally in the past few days and has become much more energetic. The nanny said that Tuantuan always ran out. She thought she was missing Miss, so the servant gave her a hug."
Xiao Ruan nodded and followed her hair, but her thoughts were lost...
Old Mrs. Xiao was furious when she got the news at night, Mrs. Gu knelt down and didn't dare to breathe. Xiao Hong felt sorry for Mrs. Gu and came forward to intercede.
"Why is mother so angry? It's not a big deal. Ruan'er Ying'er is my daughter. It doesn't matter which one you marry."
Old Mrs. Xiao slammed her cane heavily on the ground, her voice full of anger.
"That's what the Lu family said right! What has it to do with you! What has to do with Ying'er! What has it to do with our Xiao family!"
Xiao Hong was speechless, but he didn't want Mrs. Xiao to punish Mrs. Gu, although he felt unwilling but had to give in.
"Mother, is it the son's fault? The son accepted Ying'er's kiss. If you want to blame it, you can blame the son."
Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, she knew what Xiao Hong meant to be against her, thinking about what her son did, it was really chilling.
"Do you think I dare not punish you? You also know that Ruan'er is also your daughter. I thought you, a father, have forgotten it. I don't want to see where your mind is going now! I don't know. Sad for Ruan Er!"
Gu's head was lowered all the time, and she felt a little worried when she heard Mrs. Xiao say this. The reason why Xiao Hong was so biased was because of her own brainwashing, and she couldn't let her pay any more attention to Xiao Ruan.
"Old madam, it's my concubine's fault, I hope old madam won't say master!"
With a crying voice, she slammed her head heavily on the ground, and her forehead became red and swollen after a while.
Xiao Hong felt a sudden pain in his heart, how could he see his concubine whom he cared for the most on weekdays suffer such a crime?He hurried down to stop Gu's movements, and carefully checked the wound on her forehead.
"What are you doing!"
Gu shi leaned against Xiao Hong's arms and sobbed softly, obviously she had done something wrong but she acted like she was too much wronged.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao sighed and shook her head. Her son was really fascinated, and it was useless to persuade others.It seems that Ruan'er will still have to rely on herself in the future.
Seeing that the two of them were deeply affectionate in front of her, Mrs. Xiao smashed her crutches again, and said sharply: "Okay, you both have to reflect on me, Gu, please remember for me, if you let me see you If you do something unfavorable to Ruan Er, you should go to the ancestral hall. During this time, you should obediently take it with you at your house, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xiao got up supported by Nanny Deng. She knew that her punishment of Mrs. Gu was too light, but what could she do?With her son here, no matter how much she is punished, it is impossible to drive her away. For the sake of the peace of the Xiao Mansion, she can only choose to turn a blind eye...
The family banquet came to an end, but Xiao Ruan's mood didn't improve much. During the period, Lu Heng came over to chat with her once to pass the time, and spent the rest of the day reading and practicing calligraphy by himself.
Xiao Ruan always remembers in her heart that Huo Xun is coming back soon...
