24 Young Master Xiao's Sister
"Yes, Miss Xiao Er, how did you know?" Liu Yuhua thought about it carefully and realized it was true.
Xiao Tingxue also looked at Xiao Tingqi, the three of them had strangely similar actions.
Xiao Tingqi felt a little creepy and couldn't help but scold, "Hey! Why are you looking at me like that!"
Xiao Tingyun laughed, "Tell me about it."
Xiao Tingqi suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he was told this, and he stammered, "Just, just before, before..."
"What happened before? Why don't you tell me quickly? Why are you embarrassed now?" Liu Yuhua couldn't hold back and urged Xiao Tingqi to speak faster.
"Ouch!" Xiao Tingqi shouted loudly, which attracted the attention of everyone who was speaking in front.
When Jiang Xiao saw Xiao Tingyun, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.
She was wearing a smoky purple dress, with a lotus blossom between her eyebrows, beautiful, cool and noble. She had jade sleeves and an ethereal face, untainted by the worldly world. Her figure was as slender as a willow branch, and a white jade lotus hairpin on her head seemed to complement her beauty.
When I looked up, everything around me was quiet.
Xu Huaili was also a little dazed, staring at Xiao Tingyun blankly.
Xiao Tingyun's eyes flickered, and after looking at him for a moment, he looked away.
Zhang Hanyue's eyes were always on Xu Huaili, so she naturally noticed his absent-mindedness just now, and she was even more displeased with Xiao Tingyun.
"Let's go over there." Liu Yuhua said simply.
Xiao Tingqi wanted to skip the previous topic, so he hurriedly said, "Yes! Come over and join us."
Since they all said so, Xiao Tingyun and Xiao Tingxue had no objections.
So he walked slowly into the group of people.
"Whose family is this lady from? I seem to have never seen her before?"
"Yes, she is so beautiful, with a kind of...indescribable charm."
"really……"
This caused a small commotion among the young masters.
Li Yunran just took a quick look and saw that Xu Huaili was staring at the girl absentmindedly, which made him feel more and more uncomfortable.
Xu Huaili withdrew his gaze and lowered his brows.
Jiang Xiao curled his lips and smiled, with a carefree and unrestrained look, perfect from every angle.
The corner of Yang Mingzhu's mouth twitched. This playboy started to show off his skills again when he saw a beautiful girl.
"This lady... I am Jiang Xiao from Duke Jing's Mansion. May I know your name?"
Xiao Tingqi curled his lips, looking somewhat angry and dissatisfied, and muttered something.
"What did second sister say?" Xiao Tingxue didn't hear clearly and asked in a low voice.
Xiao Tingqi snorted, "Nothing!"
"From the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion, the third person is Xiao Tingyun." Xiao Tingyun raised his hand and saluted, then said slowly.
Jiang Xiao thought for a moment before he suddenly realized, "It turns out that she is Young Master Xiao's sister!"
"It turns out to be the rumored sickly girl, Xiao Heming's sister!"
"But it seems to be very different from the rumors."
"Otherwise, why would it be called a rumor? If I had known that Young Master Xiao's sister would look like this, I should have asked my mother to go to the Xiao Mansion to propose marriage!"
“That’s right…” “It’s not too late now…” “Forget it with someone like you! Don’t be rude to my lady, hahahaha…”
When the young ladies heard these words, they all felt a little resentful. “Isn’t he just a sickly kid? I heard that he can’t live past the age of 25.”
"that is……"
Xu Huaili, however, sternly rebuked them, "Shut up!"
Suddenly, everything became as quiet as a chicken. Those who were talking looked at each other, wondering what had happened to displease this grim-faced general!
Even Xiao Tingyun was a little surprised. She seemed to have never met him before, so why did he start to defend her?
Moreover, according to the plot, she is a cannon fodder female supporting role. Not only does she not contribute to the love and career of the male and female protagonists, but she also has a tendency to turn against them at the last minute.
"Is it a gentleman's behavior to discuss things in public like this?!" Xu Huaili's eyes were heavy, like a flame in the dark night.
They are burning in clusters.
Perhaps the atmosphere was too awkward, Xiao Tingyun took the initiative to ease the situation and said, "Xiao Tingyun would like to thank General Xu for his kindness. Today is the birthday of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and it's time to celebrate together. Don't ruin the mood."
Xu Huaili just nodded slightly to Xiao Tingyun, then concealed his expression and said nothing more.
Jiang Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. I heard that there are some golden koi in the master's pond. They are really good. Why don't we go and have a look?"
"Yes, yes! Let's go. This is the scenery here."
"Yes, let's go and take a look together..." The companions all agreed and were about to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey! I haven't finished my work yet!" Yang Mingzhu noticed something was wrong and shouted quickly.
This sentence forced everyone to stop. Jiang Xiao was also a smart man. He knew that if Yang Mingzhu was unhappy today, this matter would not be resolved.
Jiang Xiao patted his palms lightly with his fan, "General Xu must have a lot of good stuff, would you mind giving it up?"
Xu Huaili had nothing wrong with it and wanted to let it go. "Of course, I am willing to compensate one thousand taels plus two pieces of brocade and a pair of jade ruyi!"
"Good! General Xu is straightforward!" Jiang Xiao praised loudly.
Li Yunran was a little anxious, "Cousin, there is no need to spend so much money. I, I am willing to kneel down and admit my mistake!" After saying this, he lowered his head in shame and humiliation, and then knelt down.
Xu Huaili grabbed her arm and pulled her up, "The Xu family would never let a guest staying in the mansion kneel down and beg for mercy!"
Seeing this, Xu Jinlan also hurriedly supported her, "Yes, cousin, you don't have to worry. A woman's reputation is such a serious matter. You must not be willful and angry."
For a time, everyone said that the Xu family was kind and righteous, and had the spirit of a great family.
Only when Li Yunran heard the words "guests staying in the mansion" did he feel a pain in his heart, and tears immediately flowed like a flood. He choked and said, "Thank you, cousin."
Liu Yuhua was amazed and said to Xiao Tingyun, "This is enough for Yang Mingzhu to buy ten pieces of Shu embroidery. General Xu spent all that money without blinking an eye. He is really generous to this cousin."
Xiao Tingyun didn't comment, after all, she was the heroine! It's right to treat her well.
But she remembered that the plot of the original book was that Yang Mingzhu forced Li Yunran to kneel down and kowtow to admit his mistake, but before Xu Huaili stepped forward, a young man who felt sympathy for the woman and could not stand Yang Mingzhu's behavior stepped forward to help Li Yunran solve the problem.
Of course it wasn't the young man who had a mistress, but someone else.
Jiang Xiao!
right! It’s Jiang Xiao! Xiao Tingyun remembered it, but why did the plot deviate so much?
It seemed that just when Jiang Xiao was about to speak up to help, he was interrupted by Xiao Tingqi's voice.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tingyun couldn't help but rub his forehead. This was really outrageous. The plot had changed completely.
"What's wrong? Headache?" Liu Yuhua was saying this when she saw her frowning slightly and thought she was not feeling well.
Xu Huaili glanced at Xiao Tingyun calmly.
"No, I just thought of something." Xiao Tingyun explained quickly.
"Do I look like someone who is short of money?" Yang Mingzhu put her hands on her hips, exuding a domineering attitude!
Jiang Xiao said with a smile, "Our Miss Yang is naturally not short of money, but for my sake, how about just letting this matter go?"
"Your face? Why should I give you face?" Yang Mingzhu retorted to him unhappily.
Jiang Xiao was not angry either. He leaned over and whispered something in Yang Mingzhu's ear.
Yang Mingzhu was stunned at first, then asked in disbelief, "Really?"
"Of course!" Jiang Xiao looked confident, which made everyone curious.
