Concubine's true colors

Chapter 7
Feeling the trembling of the villain in her arms, Xiao Jinxuan sighed, and said quietly: "Brother Yao, I'm sorry for letting you see things that you shouldn't see, but you have to trust my sister, what I did is for you, for the sake of you." Mother, for us to live a good life, do you know??"

No one is born bloodthirsty and easy to kill, but if patience can only be exchanged for bullying, and kindness will be regarded as cowardice, then she would rather be spurned all the time, and hold a sharp knife in her hand to kill all those who dare to trample on her.

Nodding half understanding, Xiao Wenyao was indeed frightened by the bloody scene just now, but he recovered from the shock. Such a sister suddenly made him feel at ease, and he rubbed against Xiao Jinxuan's arms again. dependency.

After half a stick of incense, there was a knock on the door from outside. Xiao Jinxuan sat upright and said calmly, "Whoever is outside, come in."

As soon as the words were finished, a woman came in from the outside. She was wearing a light red cotton satin dress, her hair was combed in an auspicious bun, and she was wearing a silver sparrow wrapped in a gold hairpin. She had a beautiful face and a slender figure. She was the first-class maid beside Ning Red sleeves.

After blessing a salute, Hongxiu looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a light smile and said, "Miss Si, Madam called you to the inner hall. I have something to ask you." As for what she wanted to ask, she didn't say anything, but both of them agreed. undeclared.

Nodding her head, Xiao Jinxuan calmly replied, "Go back and tell your mother that I'll be there later."

When Hongxiu left, Xiao Jinxuan immediately pulled her younger brother to the front, and then said: "Brother Yao and sister have important things to do, can you promise to do me a favor?"

Nodding his head heavily, Xiao Wenyao pushed up his modest chest, pouted his mouth and asked, "Sister, tell me, Wenyao is a man, and will definitely help you."

With a shallow smile, looking at the little adult in front of her, Xiao Jinxuan touched his head and said, "Go to mother's yard in a while, no matter what happens, don't let mother out, can you do it?" A look of sadness flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared again.

Because Meizhuang is next to the mountain, it is very cold in winter. Half an hour later, Xiao Jinxuan rubbed her frozen hands, went outside the inner hall, stretched out to push the door, but suddenly retracted.

A trace of hesitation flashed across her face, Xiao Jinxuan took a deep breath, and told herself repeatedly, don't be afraid, you are no longer the original you, be stronger, there is nothing to make you timid.

That's right, at this moment, Xiao Jinxuan was afraid, it was a kind of uneasiness and panic that had penetrated deep into her bones and blood.

She is alive again, but so what, she is still herself, an ordinary person who is afraid, cries and timid, facing the people who have persecuted her, she is also afraid and trembling just like others.

Taking several deep breaths, Xiao Jinxuan threw away the last trace of timidity, her eyes regained her calmness, she pushed open the door without hesitation, and walked in.

The back hall, which was originally talking and laughing, became quiet after she entered, and everyone's eyes were on Xiao Jinxuan.

The one sitting at the top is naturally the eldest wife of the Xiao family, Mrs. Ning.I saw her wearing a hibiscus colorful hexagram hugging skirt, wearing a golden bead Ruyi Baochai on her head, and an oriental bead necklace around her neck. She is graceful and luxurious, very much like the mistress of a family.

Sitting beside her was a young girl, wearing a colorful butterfly hairpin on her head, a brocade skirt in the color of begonias, red gold bracelets in her hands, and pearl and emerald shoes on her feet. Xiao Jinlian, the second daughter of the Xiao family.

On the left hand side of Ning's mother and daughter, Aunt Xue is sitting. Although she comes from a humble background, she has a beautiful appearance and is the most favored woman in the back house of Xiao's family.

Sitting beside her is a very lovable girl, her name is Xiao Jinfu, she is only eight years old this year, she is the youngest Fifth Miss of the Xiao family, and also Aunt Xue's only child.

And on Ning's right side, there is another pair of mother and daughter sitting, it is Aunt Shen, and her daughter, Xiao Jinying, the third young lady of the Xiao family.

Xiao Jinxuan swept these familiar faces one by one, then walked slowly to Ning's side, and saluted gracefully.

Just when she was about to get up, Xiao Jinlian who was at the side suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Now your airs are getting bigger and bigger, why did your mother call you to come now, and dare to tell us to wait for you for so long?"

Xiao Jinxuan smiled faintly, looked straight at Ning and said, "Second sister is right, it's because Jinxuan's hands and feet are too slow, but mother has always been generous, and I think she will forgive her daughter."

Ning was taken aback. She wanted to follow her daughter's words and reprimand Xiao Jinxuan, but she was praised by the other party. If she persisted in this matter, she would appear aggressive. She is the eldest wife of the Xiao family. Always be generous and merciful.

So as soon as the words changed, Ning patted Xiao Jinlian's hand lovingly, and said with a smile: "You girl, I like to joke with my sisters, but it doesn't matter if you come late, Jinxuan, get up and take a seat." .”

With a slight smile, Xiao Jinxuan stood up and sat on the lowermost chair. It was already expected that Ning would do this.

Sure enough, whether it was before or now, Ning's face-saving, fake-kind style has not changed at all.

So after hearing what she said, not only would Ning shi not speak of her in public anymore, but she had to follow her words to get over the matter. Seeing Ning shi's words were wrong, Xiao Jinxuan was still very happy in her heart.

But at this moment, Aunt Xue on the side said: "It is true that there are no rules or rules for disrespecting our elders, but it is a trivial matter. But if there are some murders and arson, then they should be sent to the Yamen and immediately Putting him in prison will save our Xiao family from being discredited."

Xiao Jinxuan glanced at Aunt Xue with a calm face, and then said softly: "Auntie made two mistakes in what she said."

"Why was I wrong, didn't you almost beat Ping'er to death? Now you still want to quibble." Aunt Xue immediately retorted dissatisfied.

Xiao Jinxuan just shook her head, and then continued: "First, say that I disrespect the elders, but my mother has forgiven me just now, so where do I start with the disrespect?"

Then she showed a clear expression and said: "If Aunt Xue's disrespect includes your own words, then I need to remind you that Aunt Xue is just a concubine in the mansion. I don't need to kowtow to you, on the contrary, why didn't you salute me when you saw me coming in."

After Aunt Xue heard this, her face turned pale, but she couldn't refute it.

Because it stands to reason that she should really say hello to Xiao Jinxuan first, and then say that the other party is unruly. In a blink of an eye, the most unruly person becomes herself. This is tantamount to slapping her hard on the face. lost face.

But Xiao Jinxuan didn't care about this, and continued to say calmly: "I don't care if my aunt breaks the rules, but you said that I killed people and set fire, so I really want to ask my aunt whether the village is dead or caught fire. What you said seems to be hoping that something will happen to the Xiao family, what kind of heart is there, I am really confused."

If the words just said offended Aunt Xue's face, now the words are very embarrassing. If a concubine who is looking forward to something bad happens to her husband's family, if this word is really spread, Aunt Xue will be kicked out of the house, it will be light.

Immediately, Aunt Xue couldn't help it anymore. She was born in a poor family and her education was not good. Now she was so angry that she pointed to Xiao Jinxuan's nose and scolded: "You little hoof, don't want to put shit on my head!" Pot, I'm just saying something fair for Ping'er, why don't you look forward to the Xiao family. You little bastard raised in Zhuangzi, you really think you are a young lady, but you still want me to say hello, Xiao Jinxuan You deserve it too."

Aunt Xue just felt much more comfortable after being playful, as if she was not enjoying herself, she wanted to scold, but suddenly an angry male voice came, "I heard you making a lot of noise as soon as I came here, let it spread to my Xiao family I'm going to lose my face!"

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man walked in. The moment everyone in the hall saw him, they immediately stood up and saluted. This person was none other than Xiao Jinxuan's father, the head of the Xiao family, and the current Yangzhou Festival Xiao Heng, the envoy.
