Chapter 21
Xia Ningxi was still silent, lazily looking at the tip of the lotus in the lotus pond.
Xia Muheng saw that she had been ignoring her all this time, so he kept silent, and asked with a frown: "Sister, do you have something on your mind? If so, just tell me, maybe I can help you."
Slightly lowering her eyes and taking a deep breath, Xia Ningxi finally raised her eyes to look at him, frowned and asked, "My mother, how did you die?"
Frowning suddenly, Xia Muheng looked at her in surprise, and asked, "Sister, why are you asking that?"
"My mother passed away, and I didn't even see her for the last time. I feel guilty and regretful. It's just a random question, so don't worry about it, my second brother."
Xia Ningxi chuckled, turned around and walked towards the waterside pavilion, and said as she walked, "By the way, the second brother is now the son of a concubine, and I'm just a concubine, so there's no need for the second brother to treat me hypocritically."
Xia Muheng stared blankly at her back, his heart sank little by little.He wanted to explain, but he saw Xia Ningxi leaned down, embraced a white rabbit that jumped out of the flowers, and walked away along the bluestone road.
Xia Muheng swallowed all the words that came to his lips, and Xia Muheng sighed helplessly.
He just wanted to tell her that he never treated her as a concubine, and he never thought that being a concubine would be superior to others.In his eyes, she was just the younger sister he wanted to protect, nothing more.
Xia Ningxi walked around for a while, and finally found the room that Xia Bo arranged for her.
There was a servant girl guarding the room, and when she saw Xia Ningxi coming back, she bowed her head respectfully and saluted: "I have seen Miss San."
Xia Ningxi entered the room with drooping eyelids, but saw that there were many trays on the table, including luxurious costumes and jewelry, gold hairpins and jade objects.
Frowning, she went to the table and looked through her clothes. Xia Ningxi chuckled lightly: "It's quite thoughtful. It's the same as giving the prisoner a hearty meal before his execution."
The servant girl naturally didn't hear what she was talking to herself, and she approached and said with a smile: "Miss San, these are all arranged by Madam to bring them. She said that Miss San just came back and she needs to dress up properly."
Xia Ningxi waved her hand and said casually, "Put it away first!"
The servant girl responded respectfully, arranged the things on the tray one by one, and put them into the cabinet.
Xia Ningxi was about to sit down and have a sip of tea when a servant at the door stopped, lowered his head and said, "Miss San, Master Hou asked you to come and have dinner in the front hall."
"I see."
After loosely adjusting the sleeves, Xia Ningxi raised her hand and put Bai Luo in the bamboo basket on the table, tapped his forehead, and said softly: "I'm going to eat, you just stay here obediently and wait for me to come back. "
After finishing speaking, he hinted at Bailuo and winked, and quietly stuffed a written note in his sleeve into the side of the bamboo basket.
Bai Luo blinked and nodded in response.
Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the boy to lead the way to the front hall for dinner.
There are many etiquettes in the Hou Men's mansion, and Xia Ningxi took a deep breath when walking all the way to the dining room in the front hall. She moved lightly with a dignified lotus step, and stopped not far in front of Lord Xia and Mrs. Zheng, bowing her head and saying: " Father, aunt."
Master Xia Hou raised his hand, and said calmly: "Sit down! You have been exhausted all the way, and Yunrong specially ordered the back kitchen to prepare a few more dishes, eat quickly!"
"Thank you, Auntie." Xia Ningxi smiled gently, walked to the only vacant seat and sat down.After everyone picked up the chopsticks, she took the chopsticks and ate dully.
Halfway through the meal, a woman in the garden ran into the front hall in a panic, and yelled in panic before entering the door: "Master, it's not good, the room where Mrs. Sun lived suddenly flooded, you go quickly!" Let's see!"
A cold smile flashed across the corner of Xia Ningxi's lips, glanced at Master Xia's trembling fingers, tried to squeeze out a few tears, stood up and ran towards the back garden, screaming: "My mother is still alive, she will Come back and see me, I must keep her place."
