Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 24
Mu Qingwan walked out the door and found that Huai Hua had gone back to the Xijiao courtyard, while Hu Po was still waiting for her.

Hu Po walked towards her, and asked with concern: "Miss San, what happened to the jade pendant?"

She doesn't care how things are going, but she cares about Yu Pei?What does that have to do with her?Mu Qingwan was a little puzzled, but she didn't think too much about it. After all, she was someone else's maid, so it was normal to have a different focus, so she replied, "It turns out that the fourth girl of our family picked up that jade pendant on the road. My mother, she will post a missing item notice later, if you know who the owner is, please tell him and let him come to Mu's house to collect it."

"It's just a piece of jade pendant, and you still need to post a missing item notice?" Hu Po was very surprised.

Mu Qingwan smiled and said: "Although it's a small item, the person who lost it is still in a hurry. Naturally, a notice should be posted to make it easier for the owner to claim it."

"Miss San is right." Hu Po hurriedly followed up with a smile, "Your family is really benevolent and considerate in everything."

For some reason, Mu Qingwan always felt that Hu Po's smile was a bit forced. Could it be that she was disappointed because she helped but didn't thank her?Knowing gratitude and not repaying it is also a kind of disrespect. Mu Qingwan has always known that mistakes can be corrected, so she immediately took out the money, only saying that she had to pay for the clothes to be changed, and gave her double the reward.

You don't need to weigh the silver, you can tell it's too much at a glance. Hu Po lowered her head for a while, didn't say anything, thanked Mu Qingwan, turned around and left.Mu Qingwan quickly stopped her and said, "The thing I told you just now..."

Hu Po made a promise in a low voice: "Third Miss, don't worry. As soon as I go back, I will tell our wife to strictly control our young master, and he will not be allowed to run around again."

Hope that Mrs. Nie, who has been bedridden for a long time, can control Nie Tai'an, Mu Qingwan nodded and let her go.

Because of the revelation of the jade pendant, Mu Qinglian was severely hit. She was afraid of the strange eyes of the mother and daughter of the Kang family, and far afraid of Shi Tianci's reprimand, so she locked herself in the room all day and did not dare to go anywhere. Even about Huaihua's testimony for Mu Qingwan, she didn't have the nerve to go to the East Corner Courtyard to question Aunt Luo.

In the morning of the next day, there seemed to be nothing unusual in the small courtyard of Mu's family in the morning light. Looking at Mu Changguang and Aunt Luo, they didn't even know that there was such a thing as the jade pendant. She finally let go of her heart, thinking, mother and daughter of the Kang family are still kind after all, and if they didn't spread the matter to the outside world, then she should just pretend that nothing happened, and if someone mentions it, she would insist that it was just a joke .

As soon as she relaxed, she began to pay attention to other things, such as Mu Qingwan's appearance, Mu Qingwan's outfit - Mu Qingwan is wearing a khaki dress today, with an extremely outdated bun, Wearing a very fake makeup, at first glance, his age has been raised by more than ten years, and he looks old-fashioned.

Mu Qinglian looked at her and couldn't help laughing. After all, there is no maid who is close to her. Mu Qingwan can't even take care of herself, but this is also good. The chances of the Bai family falling in love with Mu Qingwan are small. Shi Tianci The task assigned to her can still be completed smoothly; secondly, Mu Qingwan is so ugly that she can show her goodness, Mu Qinglian, right?She looked down at her willow-green spring dress, and the more she thought about it, the more proud she became.

Mu Qingwan has been paying attention to the changes in Mu Qinglian's expression. Seeing her thick lips, she suddenly trembled with laughter, and couldn't help rolling her eyes—look at Mu Qinglian's small eyes with garlic nose, she needs to dress up Is it easy to be uglier than her?She and Xiao Cui'er have been busy since before dawn, and it took a lot of effort to achieve such a result until now!
Regarding Mu Qingwan's attire, the Kang family didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Since ancient times, if the Bai family really wanted to marry Mu Qingwan as their daughter-in-law, they would be interested in her because of her family background or virtue, as for her appearance. Wait, it's actually secondary.

Aunt Luo was very nervous about today's gathering, but because of Mu Changguang's slap last time, she didn't dare to go into the hall, she just stood outside, watching from a distance, when she saw Mu Qingwan's dress clearly , she frowned very much, but she didn't dare to say anything, lest Mu Qingwan blame her for meddling in things that shouldn't be meddled in—maybe she didn't even realize it herself, but she actually started to be afraid of the face-faced person she used to be. Three girls.

The Kang family looked at Mu Qingwan, and then at Mu Qinglian. One was low-key, the other was flamboyant, but they were all well-dressed; Xiao Cui'er was temporarily assigned to her.It's done, it's ready, go out and board the car, and head towards Bai's house!
In Yangxing County, the size of a palm is small, and there are no families that are particularly far away from each other, and the same is true for the Bai family.The carriage went along the alley, onto the avenue, passed through the bustling city center, turned into an alley, and arrived at the Bai family's mansion.

Bai Caiban has a good way of making money, and his ability to raise money is even better than that of Mu Changguang. From this big house that has opened up three times and brought things across the courtyard and garden, and occupies an entire alley, you can figure it out.

"If it weren't for the customization, the Bai family would probably have to build a five-room house!" Even the Kang family, who has always been quiet, couldn't help but sigh.

Mu Qinglian stared out of the car window for a long time, her face full of envy, and said: "Actually, our family is not without money. Uncle can follow the example of the Bai family and build a big house. Look at our family now, several people are crowded In one backyard, a hiccup in one room can be heard in the other rooms."

Kang showed apology, and said: "Our house is a bit small, but your uncle sees it as a place of good geomantic omen and refuses to move it easily, so please bear with it."

The Kang Corporation is really good-tempered, what is there to be sorry about!Mu Qinglian is an orphan girl. It is her blessing and luck that the big house that has been separated is willing to take her in. How dare she complain about the small house?This ignorance is really admirable!
If you are angry in your heart, you have to release it. If you hold it in for a long time, you will easily go wrong. Mu Qingwan has always paid attention to mental health, so naturally she will not bear it. She immediately smiled at Mu Qinglian and said: "Fourth sister, people in our family, Each has its own room, and it’s not too small. If you hiccup in the room, you can hear it in other rooms. It’s because your hiccups are too loud. You have to pay more attention in the future, so as not to be heard by the neighbors next door. Affect your boudoir reputation."

After hearing this, Xiao Cui'er couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing, and Xinghong actually laughed too, and when the corners of her lips began to rise, she realized that her position was wrong, and quickly pulled her face down.

Mu Qinglian's face gradually turned red, showing through layers of white powder, covering the color of rouge, but the hiccup was the first of her own, so even though she knew that Mu Qingwan was ridiculing her, she didn't What to refute, in my heart, I was so overwhelmed, let alone how panicked.

The enemy's displeasure is her own happiness, Mu Qingwan's mood at the moment, not to mention how happy she is, she just opened her mouth to hum a song.

Facing the bickering between her own daughter and niece, the Kang family was always at a loss and didn't know how to manage it, but this time because Mu Qinglian didn't open her mouth and the war didn't escalate, she quietly let them go with a sigh of relief.

The gate of Bai's house is very spacious, and the threshold has already been removed, allowing carriages to pass directly, so Mu Qingwan and the others drove straight in, until the beautifully carved and gorgeous hanging flower door, supported by the maid from Bai's house just now. The little bench got out of the car.

Such a hanging flower door, even if it is placed in modern times, will not be inferior among those ancient architectural relics. Mu Qingwan raised her head and admired it carefully before following Kang's up the steps and into the door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Kang's face became weird, and when he looked at Mu Qinglian, he also had the expression of swallowing a fly. What's wrong?Mu Qingwan felt it was strange, looked forward and saw a young woman standing inside the door to greet them, wearing a high bun, with pearls and jade all over her hair, and an ivory comb the size of a palm in her hair, no need to go around You can see clearly from behind; the clothes this woman is wearing are also quite fashionable, with a satin tunic on top, tulle on the outside, and a skirt embroidered with Suzhou on the bottom. Flowers are embroidered everywhere.

With this attire, no matter how you look at it, you are the wife of a rich family. Why are Kang Shi and Mu Qinglian like this?In front of the servants of the Bai family, Mu Qingwan couldn't turn back to ask Xiao Cui'er, so she had to search for the answer from the memory of the deity. After searching for the answer, the expression on her face became ugly—— It turned out that the woman who came to greet them was not a wife, but an aunt!Moreover, it was the biological mother of the second son of the Bai family, Aunt Huang, who tried to marry her.

They Mu's family came to visit, but Mrs. Zhengzheng and Miss Zhengzheng, but the Bai family sent an aunt to welcome them. What does it mean?Is it too much to look down on people?

Mu Qingwan looked forward, and even the good-tempered Kang's face darkened slightly, apparently also angered.

But, why is Aunt Huang's face so weird?I saw her reluctantly pulling the corners of her lips, and reluctantly moving forward, she didn't intend to welcome the guests at all, as if she was trying to drive a duck to the shelf.

Could it be that she was standing here not on her own volition, but was forcibly assigned by the mistress Xiao?Mu Qingwan was thinking about it, when she heard Aunt Huang who had already come to Kang's mouth, she said exactly: "I just said, it's inappropriate for me, an aunt, to welcome Mrs. Kang and the two young ladies, but the mistress I have fate, and I am powerless to resist, so I have to come here, and I hope Mrs. Kang and the two young ladies don't blame me."

As soon as the words were finished, before Kang could respond, he saw another woman dressed up, leading a group of maids and women rushing into the hanging flower gate, and in a blink of an eye, Aunt Huang was caught.

This time, Mu Qingwan consciously searched the memory of the deity, and recognized it at a glance. The woman dressed in the head is the head of the Bai family, Mrs. Xiao.
