83 Mrs. Xu Liu Ruomei
Xiao Tingyun was speechless. "They don't necessarily come here to see each other, right? Are you imagining things?"
"How could I possibly have such wild thoughts?! Grandma told us to meet the guests later!"
Xiao Tingyun asked again, "We?"
Xiao Tingqi nodded and pouted, "Yes, the three of us have to go. Although I don't want to admit it, you are indeed good-looking."
"I am so honored to receive praise from the second young lady of the Xiao family." Xiao Tingyun said exaggeratedly, and looked up at the sky, "It's not raining red, and the sun hasn't risen from the west. Why are you so kind today and not arguing with me?"
Xiao Tingqi sneered and folded his hands, "It's not raining red, and the sun hasn't risen from the west. I just wanted to remind you."
"You had some conflicts with Xu Jinlan and the others before, so I'm sure Mrs. Xu will not be happy with you. Don't hold out too much hope for the meeting this time!" As he said this, he pretended to casually stroke his hair and straighten his clothes.
The meaning is obvious! She, Xiao Tingqi, is interested in Duke Xu's Mansion!
Xiao Tingyun: Hmm? ? ?
Grandpa looking at his phone on the subway - speechless...
Xiao Tingyun almost wanted to laugh. This person laid so much groundwork in the beginning, just for the last sentence, right? ?
"You are really the same as always..." Xiao Tingyun glanced at her up and down.
Xiao Tingqi straightened his back to see what good words she could say.
"Brainless." Xiao Tingyun said these two words with a smile.
Xiao Tingqi was furious and was about to scold her, but was put out of his rage by a gesture from Xiao Tingyun.
"I advise you to give up. Although I have some disagreements with Miss Xu, it will not be easy for you to marry General Xu." Xiao Tingyun kindly reminded.
Xu Huaili and Li Yunran are the male and female protagonists of this book. How could you, Xiao Tingqi, successfully separate them?
What’s more, even his own mother couldn’t succeed, so it’s even more impossible for others.
"Why?" Xiao Tingqi was half-believing and half-doubting. Could it be that Xiao Tingyun wanted to get ahead of her and deliberately trip her up? ? ?
Xiao Tingyun naturally wouldn't tell her about Li Yunran, but after thinking about it, she decided to give her a hint, lest she loses sight of her own capabilities and tries to go against the heroine, which would bring disaster to the whole family and not be worth the loss.
"When we were at the Zhang residence before, it seemed that Miss Li had a very close relationship with Miss Xu."
Xiao Tingqi was confused, "What's the matter? They are cousins, so they are naturally different from others."
Xiao Tingyun took two steps outside the pavilion and could see the scenery of the lake more clearly. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Then did you see how much General Xu compensated Miss Yang for Miss Li?"
"Let's not talk about Yunjin, the jade ruyi alone is worth a lot of money. Plus, she is Yunyin's unmarried cousin, so aren't there enough stories in the storybook?"
The more Xiao Tingqi listened, the more he felt it made sense. He nodded slightly and muttered to himself, "Yes, no wonder Li Yunran looked at General Xu with such affectionate eyes. Moreover, Li Yunran had a seductive look on his face. He didn't look like a pushover! If..."
Xiao Tingyun lowered his footsteps, quietly approached her, and said faintly, "Am I right?"
Xiao Tingqi nodded as he followed the topic, "Yes—"
She turned her head suddenly, and Xiao Tingyun's smiling face appeared in front of her, which scared Xiao Tingqi. "What are you doing?!"
"Nothing." Xiao Tingyun looked very innocent.
"What's right?" Xiao Tingqi stiffened his neck. "Whether it's true or not is not up to us to decide. Let's go to the main hall to meet the guests first!"
Then she walked away. She was afraid that Xiao Tingyun had succeeded in brainwashing her. Wouldn't that be an advantage for Xiao Tingyun? ?
Besides, it’s just a visit, and whether it’s true or not remains to be seen, so there’s no rush!
Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows. He actually had some brains. Her reminder was not in vain.
Follow along and see what’s going on.
In the main hall, Old Lady Xiao asked her three daughters-in-law to entertain Madam Xu Liu Ruomei and the second wife of Duke Xu's mansion Du Xiangyi.
Liu Ruomei had an extraordinary figure, dignified and elegant, dressed in a purple cloud brocade embroidered dress, and had excellent etiquette.
Du Xiangyi has a heroic appearance, a slightly dark complexion, a tall stature, and speaks cheerfully. She is not a current beauty, but she has a unique charm.
"It is really rude of us to come to your house today." As the eldest sister-in-law, Liu Ruomei spoke neither servilely nor arrogantly, but gently and politely.
Li and Liu Ruomei were also familiar with each other, so she smiled and said, "You have always been a mysterious person, and I rarely see you even in Kyoto. How could you be so rude?"
Jiang had a natural inferiority complex towards this kind of noble lady, so she declined the invitation politely and kept silent, just acting as a background figure.
I just don’t know why they came here?
"Since you are here, you young people just love to be lively. It's good to walk around more when you have time. The friendship of childhood is the closest. If not, you can become good friends by seeing each other more often now." Old Mrs. Xiao was filled with emotion. She couldn't help being moved when she thought of her childhood friends who were no longer in the world.
"The old lady is right." Liu Ruomei said with a faint smile.
After the greetings, Li and Song exchanged glances.
Li took the initiative to ask, "What's the matter with you coming here today?"
Du Xiangyi took the initiative to speak, with a very friendly look on his face, and jokingly said, "My sister-in-law and I went to Guanghua Temple to worship Buddha before, and asked for lotus in the lotus pond several times, so that we could get some Buddha's light to bless our family. It's a pity that my father-in-law didn't give us any."
Song was confused. What did this have to do with coming to the Xiao family? Are you blaming them for not giving it to them? ?
Li was also confused. She seemed to have not been to Guanghua Temple for a while, and had not asked about Lianhua?
Only my second brother’s wife has been there. Could it be that she is sick?
Du Xiangyi performed vividly and with the right expression, he raised his eyebrows and said, "But we didn't give up. We went a few more times and still failed. So I asked, have you never given this lotus to anyone? Is it just a gimmick?!"
"The old man saw that I was really annoying, so he said angrily: Who said it was a gimmick! The girl from the Xiao family got a lot!!"
Song was stunned, as only Ayun got the lotus and ate the lotus soup.
Du Xiangyi was a little embarrassed, but she was sincere and made people feel at ease. "When we heard that your daughter got the flower, we wanted to see how beautiful she was to be so attractive and make us middle-aged ladies unable to get the flower."
"Hahahaha..." Old Madam Xiao was amused by Du Xiangyi's aggrieved words, "You, you, it looks like you're here to ask for an explanation."
Li and Jiang thought it was true and were naturally amused.
Song had a bad premonition, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled faintly. When Liu Ruomei smiled and nodded, an even stranger feeling came over her.
