Eleventh Lady hurriedly chased after him.

"My lord, let me help you change your clothes!" There was an unconcealable nervousness in her voice.

Shiyi Niang felt that she was a little bit out of control of Xu Lingyi's thoughts. Just like just now. He should have been proud of his status and disdained to ask, but he asked. Just like now, he should have questioned her privately without making a sound, but he rushed out like a hot-blooded teenager!

What is he going to do?

Who are you going to find?

Eleventh Lady was very panicked.

It has been many years since this happened... The time they had spent together was too short, their understanding was limited, and there were many thorns everywhere. Time was running out for her...

While she was thinking, she heard Xu Lingyi calling Lin Bo: "Go, call Master Wu to me!"

Calling Xu Lingkuan here... is it to confront him? Or to reprimand him?

No matter what the situation was, Xu Lingkuan would probably look strange when they went to dinner because of his fear of Xu Lingyi. Once the Madam found out, she would definitely ask questions, and Xu Lingkuan might tell her everything...

Men often speak out their opinions based on their status as sons, but mothers-in-law attribute the changes to the daughter-in-law sowing discord. Once such a rift appears, it is like a broken mirror, and even if you work a hundred or a thousand times harder than before, you may not be able to mend it.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"My Lord, the Fifth Master has to go to the Madam's place to eat after changing his clothes." Eleventh Lady's voice was gentle and a little consoling, "If there is anything, why not wait until after dinner to talk about it. This will also prevent the Fifth Brother's wife from worrying."

Xu Lingyi glanced at Shiyi Niang, then turned around and went back to the house.

Eleventh Lady's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how she would explain to Xu Lingkuan when he came... Now that the Third Lady was targeting her everywhere, she must not let the Fifth Lady and herself have any conflicts. Otherwise, she would be isolated as she was new here, and her life in the mansion would be difficult in the future...

While she was lost in thought, she followed Xu Lingyi into the house.

Xu Lingyi had already called Chunmo and Xia Yi to help him change his clothes.

The two little girls were also smart. Feeling the tense atmosphere in the room, they showed panic expressions and hurried to the bathroom.

Eleventh Lady took the opportunity to ask Dong Qing: "Why are you carrying a bag?"

Dong Qing also felt aggrieved: "Because I will leave tomorrow to live in the courtyard of Jinyu Hutong in the north of the city for five months, I hurried to finish the little jacket I made for you. I thought that the little maids would come to help me clean the clothes later, and I was afraid that they would be ignorant and dirty your little jacket, so I brought it here specially..."

"Then why are you crying?"

Dongqing didn't say anything, Binju muttered beside her: "Something fell into her eye just now. I helped Sister Dongqing blow it out for a long time!"

This is really a coincidence! Even I thought Dongqing was sad because of leaving the house...

Eleventh Lady sighed and took the jacket: "Please leave it here with me!"

Dong Qing looked at the bathroom and said, "Then the Marquis..."

"Don't worry about it." Eleventh Lady said, "Go pack your things!"

Dongqing knew that he couldn't help at this time, so he replied "yes" a little uneasily and turned back to the back room.

Eleventh Lady placed the bundle on the big kang table by the window in the side room where Xu Lingyi usually sat. She thought that standing there waiting would be too weak, so she calculated the time and made a cup of tea. When she came back, Xu Lingyi had washed up and changed into a stone blue gown with round floral patterns.

She smiled and brought the tea over: "My Lord, please have a cup of tea before you go back!"

Xu Lingyi looked at Eleventh Lady, who had a peaceful smile and a generous demeanor, and his heart softened when he thought of her slightly panicked voice behind him just now.

No matter how calm and composed she usually looks, she is just a little girl a few years older than Zhen Jie'er. If she sees me angry, she will panic and be at a loss...

His gaze towards Eleventh Lady softened a little, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Feeling the coldness around Xu Lingyi's body begin to melt, Shiyi Niang breathed a sigh of relief. When he drank the tea she brought him, Shiyi Niang was basically certain that his anger had subsided by half.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became peaceful.

"What is this?" Xu Lingyi looked at the bundle on the kang table - he recognized it, this was the bundle in Dongqing's hand just now.

"Oh!" Eleventh Lady smiled, "This is the little jacket that Dongqing made for me. She said she was going to Goldfish Hutong, so she brought it to me specially. Who knew something fell into her eye, and she rubbed it there for a long time, and then happened to meet us coming back." As she said that, she opened the bundle in front of him, revealing the little red silk jacket inside.

Xu Lingyi had already seen it.

She served him tea and placed the bundle in front of him, spending so much time and effort on it. Shiyi Niang just wanted to explain to him.

I am afraid I might misunderstand you...

There was a hint of smile on his face.

Eleventh Lady saw his expression clearly and was stunned.

Even if you feel relieved, there is no need to laugh!

I have to find a way to understand this guy's temper, otherwise, I will always be led by the nose and the situation will be too passive.

She was making up her mind when a little maid trembled and reported: "My Lord, the Fifth Master is here!"

"Let him in."

Eleventh Lady discovered that Xu Lingyi's gaze had become fierce again.

As a sister-in-law, it is best for me not to interfere in the affairs between the two brothers.

She smiled and said, "I'll go make a cup of tea for Uncle Five." Without waiting for Xu Lingyi to say anything, she turned around, lifted the curtain and left.

Xu Lingyi knew that his brother was always afraid of him, so he would inevitably shrink a little when he met him. He didn't want Shiyi Niang to see it. Anyway, Xu Lingkuan was a grown man after all, and it was always bad to be seen by a woman with a short breath. Just when he was thinking about how to tell her, he didn't expect that she found an excuse to go out.

He couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Although I did not reject this marriage in the beginning with the intention of shutting up other people, it was also related to the fact that she was smart, sensible and sensible when she was in the courtyard!

As the thought flashed through his mind, Xu Lingkuan had already walked in reluctantly.

When Xu Lingyi saw him like this, he suddenly thought of Zhun Ge. His anger, which had been calmed down, suddenly rose again: "What's going on? Ah! Mother told me first that all the people in the family who were born in the year of the Ox in the family avoided going to the West Hill Courtyard. I thought it was just the people in mother's room and your room. I didn't expect that all the people born in the year of the Ox in the family had to avoid it? Do you know how many people born in the year of the Ox are there in your family? And in Hongdeng Hutong, you usually stay at home for half a month and at the Marquis's for half a month. Do you know how many people born in the year of the Ox are there in the old Marquis's room?"

He spoke so harshly that Xu Lingkuan was stunned for a long time.

"Say something!" Xu Lingyi was even more annoyed when he saw his brother didn't know anything. "Who said that? Who from the Imperial Observatory said that? Was it Monk Fashan or that big-nosed Changchun?" He pointed outside the door. "Go ask Changchun. Doesn't he know how to tell fortunes? Ask him to calculate how long he is old."

Although Xu Lingyi's voice could not be called a roar, it was not small. Eleventh Lady was standing under the eaves holding a tea tray and could hear it clearly.

She was startled.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lingyi was so disgusted with the Taoist priest named Changchun!

"...You guys just do whatever he says. Do you still want to live like this?"

On the other side, Xu Lingkuan had come to his senses and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Fourth brother, I won't dare to do it again! I'll go tell Danyang right now." As he said that, he raised his foot and was about to walk out.

"Come back here!" Xu Lingyi looked at his irritable look and felt that he was angry for nothing.

When Xu Lingkuan heard his brother calling him, he didn't dare to leave. He turned back and stood in front of Xu Lingyi with his hands hanging down.

Xu Lingyi couldn't help but take a deep breath. Because he was suppressing his anger, his voice was three points lower than usual. "I also hope that you will give birth to a big fat boy! Since this is what the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said, there must be some basis for it. Usually when you come back, you only go to mother's place, so I misunderstood that mother was avoiding you. When mother asked me, I agreed. It's not good for you to tell your fifth brother's wife like this, lest she misunderstand that we are going back on our word. You go and discuss with your fifth brother's wife, and avoid anyone who is born in the year of the ox. I'm afraid that the old marquis will also be disturbed by the noise. Why don't you move to the Shanxi Villa. In this way, we or the old marquis's people can visit you at any time."

"Danyang said this before." Xu Lingkuan stammered, "But Xishan is in the west, which is dominated by gold. Danyang lacks wood in the five elements, and gold and wood are in conflict..." As he said this, he glanced at Xu Lingyi with a stern look on his face.

This brother, his mind is focused on useless things...

Xu Lingyi sighed softly and said, "Just go and tell your sister-in-law. She knows what to do."

Xu Lingkuan has always been convinced by this brother. He said "Oh" and whispered, "Well, then I'll go back and change my clothes."

Xu Lingyi waved his hand: "Go quickly! Otherwise, Mom won't be able to see you and will worry about you."

Xu Lingkuan responded and left.

Eleventh Lady hid in a nearby room before Xu Lingkuan left, and only brought in tea after he left.

"Hey, is Uncle Wu gone?"

Xu Lingyi did not answer, but said: "Do you want to change your clothes? If not, let's go over now!" There was some fatigue in his tone.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, and thinking that the Madam was still waiting for everyone to arrive for dinner, Eleventh Lady looked at herself with a smile and said, "I think my clothes are okay."

Xu Lingyi saw her suddenly start to tease him, and knew that she must have heard him lose his temper and wanted to lighten the mood. But at this moment, he really had no intention of socializing. With a cold expression on his face, he walked out the door: "Let's go!"

Eleventh Lady breathed a sigh of relief.

The snowstorm is finally over!

She hurriedly handed the tea tray in her hand to the maid beside her and quickly followed.

* * * * * *

When I arrived at the old lady's place, I didn't expect that the second lady had already arrived.

She wore a half-new royal blue silk jacket, and her jet-black hair was tied up in a bun. The only thing about her was a pair of pearl earrings, which made her look elegant and simple.

Sitting next to the lady, she asked Xu Siqin and Xu Siyu about their studies in the past few days. Not only did everyone in the room sit upright, but even Xu Sijian was no longer as naughty as before, and stood aside and listened in an orderly manner.

Seeing Xu Lingyi and Shiyi Niang, the Second Madam stood up with a smile: "Fourth brother, fourth brother's wife. You are here!"

Eleventh Lady hurriedly bowed to the Second Lady, but glanced at Xu Lingyi from the corner of her eye and found that his expression was very respectful.

"Second sister-in-law!"

The second lady hurriedly returned the gift.

The lady smiled and said, "Okay, okay, there's no need to be so polite as a family. Come and sit down!"

Xu Lingyi sat on the armchair next to the Madam Dowager. Eleventh Lady stood behind him.

The Second Madam smiled and said to Xu Lingyi: "The eldest and second young masters have made some achievements in their studies. I think we should find a more learned teacher!"

Xu Lingyi smiled and said, "I thought about it before, but I just couldn't find the right one. So I put it off."

The lady smiled and said, "This kind of thing can't be rushed, just look for it slowly."

Eleventh Lady's heart moved and she began to ponder.
