Chapter 236

"No need." Xilong smiled, "I'm not a kid anymore, I still have a lot to learn, and I don't have enough time. Besides..." She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I and those few The two cousins ​​don’t get along very well. At my grandmother’s house, most of the time is spent in the room doing reading, writing, and needlework. Hmm... It’s not that the cousins ​​are bad, maybe I’m a bit withdrawn or weird Can't get close to them. For several years, the relationship with them is not as deep as the relationship with you and Fifth Sister-in-law during this period. "

"Everything has to be about fate." Xiang Zhixuan said with a smile, "It's human nature. If you tell your sister-in-law what you said just now, she will be very happy."

"Well," Xilong's smile came into his eyes, "She will be delighted when she hears it. We won't tell her, so we won't make her proud."

Xiang Zhixuan laughed softly, "Okay."

Xilong stayed until the sun was setting to the west, got up and went back to the room.

Xiang Zhixuan put away her needlework and thought of Hong Shi.In this paragraph, Hong Shi was completely thrown aside, and he couldn't remember to ask a word.Fortunately, Qiangwei Hanxiao and the others were told in advance to keep an eye on the movements of the West Mansion.

She called Qiangwei closer, "Did anything special happen in Xifu these days?"

Qiangwei smiled and nodded, "Yes. I just wanted to talk to you."

Compared with Xiangzhixuan, the second wife and the Hong family are extremely energetic.During and after the funeral, neither of them was idle for a day.

The second lady sent the housekeeper and servants around, and those people came in and out every day, all of them mysterious.

On Xipeng's side, every time after returning from the East Mansion to the West Mansion, the Second Madam would detain him in the room and not allow him to see the Hong family.In her eyes, the Hong family is already such an unbearable person, and her son must not get involved because of his lust for beauty.And he dared not tell the truth, for fear that his son would be angry. Xi Lang was what his son hated the most, and Xi Lang was also the one who went crazy when the Hong family saw it.

Similarly, the Hong family was not idle.The second lady acted repeatedly, taking away her right to preside over Zhongfu, which was no less than slapping her in the face severely, and she was still angry.When her natal family came to express their condolences and went to Xifu to sit and talk, she told her mother about it.

Mrs. Hong didn't care, she said it was a mess anyway, and it took a lot of hard work to manage it. Now that your mother-in-law has spoken, that's not bad, you just have to live your life well.

How could Mrs. Hong bear that tone, and asked her mother with wide eyes: "Why do you like to calm down and let others go, and refuse to support me in everything?"

Mrs. Hong looked at her with an extremely bitter expression, and said after a long while: "Our family, including you, where there is trouble, we have to calm things down. Besides, life is the same no matter what, why are you arguing about it? Besides, how do I feel strange about what you are doing now... It is completely unnecessary. Why are you doing this?"

"Hey..." How could Hong Shi give a reasonable explanation, and waved his hands impatiently, "Don't say it, don't say it, let it go, what's the use of talking about it?!"

Within two days, Lianqiao, the dowry maid beside her, disappeared for two days, which made her very strange.When Lian Qiao came back, she went up and slapped her: "You little hoof! What are you doing so quietly?"

Lian Qiao said aggrievedly: "There was an emergency at the servant's house, and you happened to be in the East Mansion at that time, and the servant could not go over to disturb you, so I told a young man in the outer courtyard to tell you, if you don't believe me, you can go Check, I really said..."

When Hong heard this, she became even angrier, "What's the use of telling the people in the outer courtyard? Don't you know that those are the minions of the second lady?! The more you live, the more stupid you are!"

Lian Qiao hastily knelt down to admit her mistake and beg for mercy.
