Xu Shujin is such a well-behaved child that it makes people feel sorry for him. He is only eight years old.
Wanruo pursed her lips, thinking that the first thing she had to do before leaving the Xie family was to settle Ajin.
Since they couldn't go back to the Xu family, they had been living in the Xie family as cousins. The Xu family members didn't dare to do anything, but if they stepped out of the Xie family's house, they would definitely eat them alive.
We have to think of a foolproof plan to retreat safely.
But Xie Xianyu has been acting a little abnormal lately.
He had always been a man of self-control and decency, and even in his room he seldom indulged himself. He was also very busy at court and could not think of her often.
But this time when he came back from Jiangnan, he was particularly demanding of her. She thought he was angry yesterday and was deliberately tormenting her, but today he was in a good mood and tortured her again.
What's more, he suddenly said that he wanted to marry her in advance, which frightened Wanruo so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.
I don't know if it was because he said it casually on a whim, or if he was dissatisfied with the old lady and the eldest lady for being too demanding on his marriage, and he wanted to use her as a tool for rebellion?
No matter what, I can't stay in the Xie family anymore.
The next day, Wanruo got up very early.
Su Yue was dressing Wan Ruo and was shocked to see her pale face: "Miss, your eyes are all black and blue. Did you not sleep well last night?"
"Well, I'm a little sleepy. I might as well take a break. You can press more powder."
Su Yue sighed: "Young lady, you think too much. Too much wisdom is harmful to your health."
Wanruo looked at her beautiful face in the mirror, pursed her lips and smiled softly, "When life gets peaceful, I'll be fine."
Su Yue habitually took out an old silver hairpin to pin Wan Ruo on, but Wan Ruo picked out a jade hairpin from the comb box and said, "Use this one."
Su Yue was stunned for a moment: "Miss..."
Wanruo took out another box of rouge from the box, put a little vermilion on her fingertips, and gently applied it on her lips.
The plain, lotus-like face in the mirror had color, and a rare touch of bold beauty was revealed.
This spring banquet was held in the peach garden. It was early spring, and the peach blossoms in the peach forest were in full bloom, which was a good omen. The second wife personally organized this banquet and took great pains.
"Sister Wanruo!"
Wanruo had just entered the garden when she heard a call and turned around to see a girl in a light blue silk skirt walking towards her quickly.
"Xiu Lin." Wan Ruo smiled and reached out to hold her hand.
"I was just looking for you, Sister Wanruo. You seem a little different these days."
"We see each other every day. Could it be possible that I have suddenly changed?" Wanruo said with a smile.
Xie Xiulin looked closely at her face and dress, but felt that there seemed to be no difference. She was still as plain as before, even her skirt was still undone, and there was only a jade hairpin in her bun, the material of which was not good.
In the Xie family, only Wanruo is poorer than her.
Xiulin tilted her head: "I don't know, I just feel like you look better."
"Really?" Wanruo blinked.
Xiulin happily took her hand and said, "The spring banquet today is going to be grand. Almost all the famous families in Yanjing City will be there. Big brother's wedding has really made all the noble ladies in the capital look forward to it."
Wan Ruo pursed her lips and smiled: "Then let's go and take a look."
The two walked in arm in arm, only to see that the usually respectable lady had lost her temper for a rare moment.
"What did you say?! Where is the eldest son?!"
