Concubine's true colors

Chapter 58 Letter from the Capital
Xiao Jinxuan was in a daze when she suddenly felt that someone had pulled her sleeve. She blinked, and when she looked around, she saw Meng Liangjun looking at her with concern.

"Jinxuan, are you alright, why are you in a daze? Did it get cold just now? After returning to Xiao's mansion, quickly drink a bowl of hot ginger tea to drive away the cold."

Xiao Jinxuan smiled slightly when she heard the words, nodded, and readily accepted Meng Liangjun's kindness.

And Meng Mian, who had been lying aside for a long time and recovered some strength, struggled to sit up.

Then I saw him, cupped his hands to Xiao Jinxuan, and asked hesitantly: "Jinxuan? Miss is the fourth lady of the Xiao family who is well-known in Yangzhou now, Xiao Jinxuan?"

Before Xiao Jinxuan could reply, Meng Liangjun interrupted with a small face of excitement.

"Brother, you are very knowledgeable. The good friend I often mention to you is Jinxuan. She is amazing. Even if you were rescued this time, it was Jinxuan's help. If she hadn't found a way to put the ice Melt a hole and save your leg, if it's really what I want, if you smash it hard, brother will be hurt by me now."

Meng Mian is such a smart person, but after thinking about it carefully, he saw the power of it thoroughly, and knew that he was able to be rescued safely today, all thanks to Miss Xiao Si in front of him.

After bowing again, Meng Mian said earnestly: "Today's matter, thanks to the help of the Fourth Miss, Meng Mian was safe and sound. I will never forget this kindness. Do not refuse."

Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly returned the gift, and said with a smile: "Mr. Meng Jinxuan has written down what you said. If you are really troubled by something in the future, you will have to trouble Mr. Meng then."

It was Xiao Jinxuan's life principle in her previous life to show kindness without asking for repayment, but now, what she pursues is never to forget to repay her kindness.

Since the other party is talented and capable, she is also happy to see the success of accepting this favor, and it is all a windfall.

Meng Mian was taken aback, and then smiled from the bottom of his heart. He really didn't expect that Xiao Jinxuan would be so calm, without any modesty, to accept this kindness, but the other party's direct character is indeed better than those hypocritical villains Too much.

Then I saw Meng Mian and said: "Actually, I have heard of the name of Miss Fourth, especially Yanba Rongxue. I have only recently seen related records in a volume of Beirong Kingdom. I don't want Miss to be knowledgeable. , unexpectedly presented this method early on, and solved the catastrophe in Yangzhou."

Xiao Jinxuan didn't know what to say when she heard the words. She couldn't tell the other party. This idea was originally yours, Meng Mian's. I just relied on the memory of two lives and used the ready-made. No one believed it.

Just when she felt embarrassed, fortunately the carriage stopped, and it turned out that she had already returned to Yangzhou and arrived in front of Xiao's mansion while she was talking.

Xiao Jinxuan bid farewell to the two, put down the manuscript she was holding, and walked out of the carriage.

Watching the carriage leave, she turned around and entered the mansion, and before taking a few steps, she saw Zhu Xin walking towards her.

"Miss, where have you been? Look, it's getting dark every day. I'm so worried."

In the past two days, Mrs. Yang had a headache again, and there was no one around, so Xiao Jinxuan asked Zhu Xin to help, and Bai Shu was also sent by her to take care of Wen Xin's mother, and she left early and returned late every day. On the contrary, there was no one capable of serving her around her.

Xiao Jinxuan smiled, and said softly: "You are so anxious, but what's the matter, is Auntie feeling better?"

Zhuxin pulled Xiao Jinxuan, and walked towards the back hall, and said anxiously: "Miss, you should leave it alone, the master came back this afternoon, but he couldn't find you if he wanted to look for it, I'm afraid he should Angry."

The two master and servant were talking, and soon came to the back hall. After Xiao Jinxuan entered, she found that the whole family was there, eating around the dining table.

Yang Shi and Shen Shi were sitting on both sides of Xiao Heng, and Xiao Wenyao was being held in Xiao Heng's arms, giggling non-stop.

As soon as Xiao Jinxuan came in, everyone immediately looked at her. Yang, who was watching Xiao Heng teasing Xiao Wenyao with a smile, immediately suppressed the smile on her face when she turned to look at this daughter.

And said complainingly: "At my daughter's house, I don't have the slightest taboo to show my face all day long, and now I don't come home at night. You come back so late, Jinxuan, you will go to the ancestral hall in a while, kneel down all night, and reflect on it."

Now in the Xiao family, without Ning's oppression, Yang's life is getting better and better, so she is afraid that Xiao Jinxuan's behavior will cause Xiao Heng's displeasure. Now that she has left Zhuangzi, Yang's original indifference is getting less and less Well, more, he also started to make plans for himself.

But she forgot one thing, the reason why she is like a half-wife in the Xiao family is not because of her scheme, but because she has a daughter named Xiao Jinxuan.

But Yang Shi always ignores this on purpose, unwilling to admit it.

Xiao Jinxuan looked at Yang Shi, feeling much more disappointed, and seemed to feel less uncomfortable in her heart.

Seeing her give a little blessing, she said in a calm voice: "Today is Miss Liangjun of the Meng Mansion. Please come to me if you have something to do. My Xiaomeng family has always been on good terms. Now that my father asks me to be the housekeeper, if I turn a blind eye, the future two There must be rifts in the family, so my daughter doesn't feel that she has done anything wrong, does my aunt think so?"

Yang's breath stopped, and she looked at Xiao Jinxuan in astonishment, because since she was young, this daughter has never refuted her face to face like she is now.

It has always been the case that the other party will second what she says, and if she asks to do it, the other party immediately obeys. If she wants to punish, this daughter will not say no.

But what happened today, under the eyes of everyone, the other party actually refuted her face, and asked her if she was wrong or not. In the end, although she is a biological mother, she is just an aunt. How could she care about the Xiaomeng family's affairs? Qualified to interject, stunned for a moment, embarrassed to say no, no to say no.

Xiao Heng smiled, put his youngest son down from his arms, took a deep look at Xiao Jinxuan, and waved her to come and sit down.

"It's rare for a family to get together, Qingxin, you don't have to say a few words. It's not easy for Jinxuan to take care of this big family. As her biological mother, you should care more about her. You came back so late after being busy. Not to mention giving the child a bowl of hot soup to warm her body, but opening her mouth to punish her, you don't feel bad, and I, a father, don't agree."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Heng stood up, filled a bowl of emerald shrimp soup himself, and handed it to Xiao Jinxuan with a smile.

Seeing this, Yang shi squeezed out a smile on her face, and reluctantly picked up candied lotus root slices and put them into Xiao Jinxuan's bowl.

Xiao Heng saw the reaction of the mother and daughter, and thought flashed across his face, but he didn't focus on this matter after all, and continued to talk.

Then I saw him take out a letter from his sleeve and hand it to Xiao Jinxuan.

"Xuan'er, this is a letter specially sent by your elder sister Jin Yu who is far away in the capital. She was going to come back for the New Year, but she didn't come back because of the snowstorm. But even so, Yu'er said your fourth sister's name, she Nowadays, I often hear people mention that the Holy Majesty is in the court hall, praising you for your meritorious service in disaster relief, and you won’t let your eyebrows be allowed, and Yu’er still said in the letter that your grandmother plans to let you go back to Beijing.”

Xiao Jinxuan held the letter in her hand, but did not open it. Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Those who should come will always come, but compared with her previous life, when she drove to the capital in a carriage and married for her sister, now that she is going to the capital, she is the one who was praised by the emperor himself, so she is not a substitute. Well, whoever wants to underestimate her depends on whether she has the qualifications.

With the same expression on her face, Xiao Jinxuan said with a smile: "Jinxuan is naturally happy to be able to return to the capital and serve her father at the knees of her grandfather and grandmother. Besides, for so many years, I only heard about how beautiful my eldest sister is, like an exiled fairy, with unparalleled virtue and talent. Now I am very happy to have the opportunity to study closely.”

That's right, she is indeed very happy, because Xiao Jinyu has been at ease for too long, and Ji Lingfeng is ashamed of her in Yangzhou. This eldest sister is still living a nourishing life, but soon all of this will be far away from her, Because she is going back to the capital soon, and she and the other party will get back their grievances in one stroke.

Seeing her saying that, Xiao Heng looked really happy, so he was relieved.

Then he asked again: "Jinxuan, what's going on at home now, what about Ning's, she can reflect on it and realize that she was wrong."

When mentioning the Ning family, Xiao Heng's heart was full of anger. First, he joined forces with outsiders to plot against others, but ended up involving his own daughter.

Now in the matter of disaster relief, just to make things difficult for Xiao Jinxuan, she even disregarded the survival of the Xiao family, wreaked havoc wantonly, and made a corpse pick out with the Yuanning county lord.

After Xiao Jinxuan told him all this in a letter, Xiao Heng was in the barracks at the time. If he was at home, he would have killed Ning's troublesome star with one sword.

On the other hand, Mrs. Yang, who could hear the boredom in Xiao Heng's tone, hurriedly said, "Mrs. Ning has been very restless during this period of confinement. She even wanted to kill Jinxuan with scissors. Xuaner, what do you think?" .”

If Ning's family is divorced, Yang's family is most likely to be righted in this mansion, because she has a son and a daughter, and Xiao Heng's love for her is much deeper than that for Shen's.

So after saying this, she looked at Xiao Jinxuan expectantly, and now it is this daughter who can speak in front of Xiao Heng. Although Yang is not willing to admit this, it is the truth, so she is eager , Xiao Jinxuan can also add a few words, which will help her a lot.

Xuan'er?Hearing that it was rare for Yang to call her so intimately, Xiao Jinxuan felt no joy in her heart, but she could use it, if she didn't need it, she might not even bother to talk to her.

Seeing her glance, Xiao Heng, who was waiting for her to speak, smiled decently: "Auntie has said it, I know you love my daughter, and I am afraid that I will be hurt in the slightest, but the mother-in-law is also eager to miss her. It's extreme, but it's justifiable, not to mention she's suffering from a stroke now, she can't speak, she can't take care of herself, let the past go, why bother to worry about it."

Hearing this, Xiao Heng nodded approvingly, and was even more satisfied with Xiao Jinxuan, capable and generous, but unfortunately the other party was a woman, if it was a man, even if it was a concubine, he would definitely educate and train her as a son-in-law.

The Sipa in Mrs. Yang's hand was about to be torn to pieces. She looked at Xiao Jinxuan several times with dissatisfaction. This child is really wronged. Sure enough, you can't count on it.
