The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 73

"It turns out that my sister also invited Ms. Huo. I think it's to please my sister-in-law in the future. I'm not afraid of breaking the dignity of your daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. Isn't this Miss Huo's family? My sister is really virtuous and virtuous, isn't that true?" Those who knew thought you were already married." Xiao Ying opened her mouth to sneer, she is really good at distorting the facts.

Hearing these words, Xiao Ruan felt uncomfortable for a while, and remembered that Xiao Ying was thinking about Huo Xun last time, so her tone was not much better.

"Although I haven't sent a message to the Huo family, it is an honor for the Xiao family that Ms. Huo is willing to come. My sister should also be careful when she speaks. The princess is still here, so don't say anything that is dirty. Queen's ears."

Hearing that Xiao Ruan moved out Princess Jingnan, Xiao Ying gritted her teeth angrily, but Princess Jingnan is now on Xiao Ruan's side, so she has nothing to do.

It was made clear that it was for Xiao Ruan, and she dared not offend the clan no matter what.

Lu Heng saw that he couldn't let Ruan'er suffer, so he walked over and took her arm, and said to Xiao Ying: "Miss Huo came with Lu Shao, and the second lady didn't understand the matter so messed up. Talk without being afraid of being ridiculed by others."

Lu Heng always spoke straightforwardly, and didn't care about how ugly Xiao Ying's face was at the moment.

On the contrary, Huo Yixuan was a little angry, she let go of Lu Shao's hand and came over to question Xiao Ruan.

"Miss Xiao doesn't welcome me?"

"Where is it, Miss Huo is naturally very happy to be able to come to our Xiao family. How could she not welcome her?"

While talking, Xiao Ruan looked at the people who came to the banquet today, Xiao Ying was already restless, plus Lu Shao and Miss Huo, I am afraid I should not even think about hosting a banquet.

After hearing this, Huo Yixuan's face burst into pride. With so many people here, she was naturally not worried that Xiao Ruan would drive her away. She turned her head and looked at Lu Shao, both of them showed deep smiles .

The chrysanthemum tea at the banquet was picked and dried by Xiao Ruan many days ago. The chrysanthemums are all first-class and high-quality, so the tea is naturally not bad. Therefore, when Huo Yixuan said that the bad tea was inferior , Xiao Ruan frowned.

"Miss Xiao, are you looking down on our ladies and ladies? Can this tea be served to entertain guests?"

Xiao Ruan took a sip of tea slowly, and the fragrance immediately filled his mouth. Then this lady, some lady who doesn't know how to taste chrysanthemum tea, couldn't help but feel suspicious when she heard Huo Yixuan's words.

Xiao Ruan knew that Huo Yixuan would definitely not be safe if she came here today, and she could only use soldiers to cover up the water and cover her with soil.

"Miss Huo is from a noble family. Naturally, she has tasted the best tea in the world. Our Xiao Manor is no match for the Huo Family, but even so, we have brought out the best tea to entertain everyone. If there is something incomprehensible, I also hope everyone Haihan."

Having said that, some people have already heard that Huo Yixuan was specifically provoking her, so she didn't worry about whether the tea is good or not.

Seeing Xiao Ruan's sincere attitude, everyone naturally wouldn't find fault with him.After all, the tea from the Xiao Mansion tasted no different from his own tea.

Lu Shao pressed Huo Yixuan who was about to speak, smiled and said: "Sister Ruan is right, Yixuan, don't be picky anymore, bear with it, it must not be easy for the Xiao family to produce such tea, we Why bother to embarrass others, like this, how about if you come to Lu's mansion, I will give you good tea?"

Huo Yixuan smiled after hearing this, of course she knew that what Lu Shao said seemed to relieve Xiao Ruan, but in fact it was belittling her.

Xiao Ruan didn't bother with her too much and pretended not to hear the implication, and continued talking to the ladies.

Who knew that Huo Yixuan was not honest at all, she sneezed a few times in a good way, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Shao put his hands on her shoulders and asked with concern: "What's wrong with my sister?" What's wrong.

Huo Yixuan took out a handkerchief to cover her nose and said, "The smell of this incense is so intoxicating, I have been holding back for a long time."

Xiao Ruan knew that he was making a fuss, but no matter what, this was also in her Xiao family, so naturally she, the master, couldn't say anything.

"Come on, go and change the incense, but you can't smoke Miss Huo."

As soon as Xiao Ruan finished speaking, the second young lady of Xu Shilang's family spoke.

"The Huo family really deserves to be a big family. Whether it's tea or incense, they are picky and meticulous in everything. Fortunately, we are not so delicate, otherwise Miss Huo Xiao would be too busy."

Xiao Ruan looked at Second Miss Xu, who smiled at her.She has long been displeased with Huo Yixuan's arrogant appearance, besides, she is also outspoken, saying whatever is on her mind.

Huo Yixuan waved her handkerchief in front of her face, frowned slightly and said, "It's true, but not everyone has such high taste."

After speaking, Huo Yixuan thought that Princess Jingnan was still there, her heart trembled, and she secretly scolded herself for being fast.Turning his head to see Wang Hao's face, it was really ugly.

Concubine Jingnan was not a soft-tempered person in the first place, so there was no reason not to be angry when she heard such words.

"Miss Huo, you came here uninvited when you came to the Xiao Mansion today. Miss Xiao Ruan, the host, is naturally not good at talking about you, but if you don't say it, it doesn't mean that people don't care, but you make trouble again and again. , don’t you feel tired? Let’s be more peaceful.”

What Princess Jingnan said made Huo Yixuan dare not do anything wrong, no matter how powerful her Huo family is, she is only a Korean Duke, how can she be compared with the emperor's relatives!

Seeing that Huo Yixuan finally stopped making trouble, Xiao Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled gratefully at Princess Jingnan.

How could Li Qiuxia, who had carefully dressed up for the banquet, be willing to be left alone, she straightened her sleeves, walked out from the corner, and stood next to Xiao Ruan.

"Sister Ruan's outfit today is really pretty."

As soon as the sound was made, someone noticed it. Seeing the face, someone asked Xiao Ruan. Xiao Ruan was sneering in his heart at the moment. When did the two of them kiss to the point of calling sister Ruan.

Li Qiuxia had a generous smile on her face, and her pride couldn't be concealed in her tone.

"You don't know me. I'm the grandniece of Mrs. Xiao, the cousin of the Xiao family. I just came here to visit relatives a few days ago."

Everyone looked at Li Qiuxia's attire, and thought that maybe she was the daughter of another noble family, after all, the Xiao family's background was very rich.

The old lady's natal family still has a few talented people who have gone through official careers.

Xiao Ruan looked at Li Qiuxia who was surrounded by several young ladies, and the corner of her mouth inadvertently hooked up, thinking that this family was just coming here to eat and drink with the cheek, so it seems... This Li Qiuxia regards their Xiao family as a It is a stepping stone for her to climb the dragon and become the phoenix.

Xiao Ruan looked at the flowery pleated skirt on her body and smelled the scent of makeup and powder, and thought that this cousin of hers really had a heart, and she took pains to dress up like this when she came to a banquet that had nothing to do with her.

"My sister is absurd. The skirt you are wearing is really good-looking. I didn't expect my sister to have such a good eye. I will have to trouble my sister to pick out some clothes for my sister some other day."

After hearing this, Li Qiuxia was naturally very proud. In order to find a good-looking suit, she often made things difficult for the maids in the house, and casually helped the tassel hanging on the earlobe, which really attracted Xiao Ruan. gaze.

"My sister's earrings are really beautiful."

Since people are so concerned about their banquet, they can't be neglected no matter what, right?Doesn't she, Li Qiuxia, just want a stepping stone, and that depends on whether she is willing to give it.

Li Qiuxia, who had been praised repeatedly, was about to float into the sky with pride. When the other ladies heard what Xiao Ruan said, they also came over to say a few words of praise.

"Where, these are just two clothes I put together at random, sister Ruan is really joking."

Xiao Ruan pays attention to Xiao Ying who is walking over, she knows that Xiao Ying has always relied on her beauty, what she hates the most is when others dress up better than her, and even get more praise than her.She couldn't move other noble girls, but she naturally wouldn't pay attention to Li Qiuxia, a poor relative.With Xiao Ying's personality, she would never make Li Qiuxia feel better.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruan took Li Qiuxia's hand and said: "Sister, don't be modest, your vision is not comparable to that of your elder sister."

Li Qiuxia only thought that Xiao Ruan was really praising her, and thought in her heart that she should not follow the trend to climb up. Just as she was about to speak, a slightly mocking voice came from behind: "Listen to what my elder sister said, I thought it was some good clothes Well, I don’t look too good, why do I remember that this pleated skirt seems to be last year’s style?”

Those young ladies who were also praising Li Qiuxia at the side looked at Li Qiuxia carefully at this moment, their eyes were startled, no, this dress is beautiful, but it is out of date!

"There is also this tassel pendant, something that no one in my family wears. Sister Li doesn't dislike it for its fancy color."

How could Li Qiuxia, who had just been promoted to the clouds, endure Xiao Ying's belittling, the smile on her face hadn't completely faded, and Xiao Ying spoke again.

"But thinking about it, my sister probably didn't wear such good clothes on weekdays, so I mistakenly took last year's old clothes as new clothes. It's just that my sister is the cousin of our Xiao family. Don't let others mistakenly think it's us. The Xiao family is poor and stingy, and my sister has been wronged."

As soon as these words came out, others were a little puzzled, didn't they say that this girl is the cousin of Xiao's mansion?How come you haven't even worn good clothes?
Li Qiuxia couldn't dodge the questioning gaze cast by others, she felt anxious for a while, and looked at Xiao Ruan who kept praising herself just now as if asking for help.

But how could Xiao Ruan take care of her at this moment, she had already retreated from the crowd, drinking tea and watching a play leisurely.

"Second... What does Second Sister mean by that?"

Li Qiuxia, who had no confidence, spoke in a much lower voice. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to look at the people around her.

Xiao Ying has long disliked Li Qiuxia pretending to be extravagant here, unlike Xiao Ruan, she even praised her hypocritically.

"I don't mean anything else. I'm just kind. If my sister doesn't understand, you can ask her. Don't just take the cloth and pull it on your body, thinking that others will praise it. It's not good to make a joke."

Xiao Ying spoke directly, and the ladies next to her couldn't help giggling when they heard it. Li Qiuxia's face turned into a liver-colored face, and she was so choked that she couldn't speak.

"you you……"

"What about me?" Xiao Ying smiled harmlessly, looking ignorant. "If my sister wants to thank me, then you don't have to. My Xiao family knows how to be grateful, and my grandmother's poor relatives will not be able to treat me well!"

In this way, everyone knew that Li Qiuxia was not a young lady at all, she was just a poor relative who came here to join her.

Could it be that in this matter, Li Qiuxia couldn't speak, she wished she could find a hole and slip in by herself.
