"Miss, the second young lady said that about you, why are you still thinking of letting her out?"
Chun Xiao spoke up for Xu Lingyi, "If I want you to see me, I'll take this opportunity to punish her and teach her who the real mistress is."
"I really want all the gentlemen, ladies, and old ladies to hear what she said today and see her true face."
"Chunxiao, just do it." Xu Lingyi touched her head.
Chunxiao's personality is not very stable, but she has one good point: in this mansion, she is the only servant who can be trusted.
Just based on this point, he is much better than other slaves.
"Okay." Chun Xiao was still prepared to do as she was told. "I will do my best to complete whatever the young lady asks me to do."
Xu Lingyi smiled faintly and then explained to her, "Chunxiao, even if I don't do anything, mother and brother will still release her."
I have spoiled my daughter for more than ten years. How could the feelings of more than ten years disappear overnight?
"She got slapped by her father today and was grounded. Her brothers must be worried about her... So why not let me be the good guy?"
————
Chun Xiaogang brought food to Xu Wanning's courtyard, and as expected, he saw all the masters in the mansion except the master.
The old lady and the others rushed over after hearing the news, "What happened to your face?"
"Mother, it's all Xu Lingyi's fault." Xu Wanning covered her face with her hands, her tone angry.
Before Xu's mother could say anything, Chunxiao saw that the faces of the young masters all looked grim.
"How dare she hit you?"
This is the youngest third son.
Xu Wanning lowered her head and cried silently.
"I'll go find her and ask her where she got the courage from."
Seeing that the Third Young Master was really going to ask for an explanation, Xu Wanning quickly held her back and said, "Father beat me."
This matter cannot be concealed, and the blame cannot be put on Xu Lingyi, otherwise Xu Wanning will definitely throw dirty water on her.
"Why did your father beat you?"
"Ning'er, what did you do to make your father angry?"
The old lady already had a guess in her mind.
Facing her grandmother's shrewd eyes, Xu Wanning couldn't lie. "It's all Xu Lingyi's fault. If it weren't for her father, he wouldn't be angry with his granddaughter."
Xu Wanning exaggerated and omitted some of the outrageous words she had said.
But the old lady only noticed one thing.
"You said that Prince Yan promised to find a new marriage for Yi'er?"
Xu Wanning nodded.
The old lady's expression instantly relaxed. "Great! I originally thought that Yi'er's marriage would be delayed because of General Wei, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events."
"Did the King of Yan say which young man he would marry for her?"
Seeing her grandmother like this, Xu Wanning felt jealous. "Grandma, no, the King of Yan meant for my sister to find it herself."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eagerness on the old lady's face instantly disappeared.
If the Xu family is asked to find it themselves, then this promise will be greatly reduced. Can Prince Yan and the Xu family be compared?
Besides, rumors have already spread in the capital that women from the Xu family are unlucky in marriage. Add to that the deep love she and General Wei had before, how could she find a good marriage?
The old lady became even less happy.
"Forget it. I knew she wouldn't be so lucky."
"I'll leave this matter to you as her mother. Start looking for her in the next few days. She's not young anymore, so send her away as soon as possible."
Xu Lingyi is seventeen this year.
Women of her age in Beijing are either married or engaged, and very few are still engaged.
Even Xu Wanning is about to get married.
Mrs. Xu grabbed her handkerchief in embarrassment, but finally nodded.
She had finally found her daughter, and she didn't want to give her away so soon.
"Grandma, please ask my father to let me go. I will definitely give in to my sister in everything from now on and never dare to provoke her again."
"Ning'er knows that her status is not as high as her sister's. For more than ten years, Ning'er has been loved by her grandmother, mother, and brothers. It is only natural that her sister hates and dislikes me."
"Grandma won't let you be locked up. You are my sweetheart."
"But what about father?" Xu Wanning lowered her head and pretended to be scared.
"Brother will tell father for you."
"Grandma and brother, you are so kind. Ning'er likes you so much."
The old lady smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
It’s not that she couldn’t see through Xu Wanning’s little thoughts, she just didn’t care.
The family Xu Wanning has set her sights on is the legitimate son of the Yong'an Marquisate, which is also the maternal home of the emperor's eldest grandson.
This marriage is considered as marrying up for the Xu family.
In the face of family power, bloodline can only take a back seat.
If Xu Lingyi had been raised by her side since childhood, the old lady would still feel sorry for her because of their blood relationship, but after all, the time they had spent together was too short.
Chunxiao came out at this time. She really couldn't bear to listen anymore.
"My young lady asked me to bring food to the second young lady. After what she said today, she fainted from tears. But for the sake of peace in our family, she is willing to forgive the second young lady... She asked me to come and see you, but you turned the tables on me."
Chunxiao put down her food and said, "Second Miss, don't worry. My young lady has already asked the master to let you out."
After saying that, Chunxiao left.
Hearing Chunxiao say this, Mrs. Xu's eyes instantly turned red. After all, this was her child who she had carried for ten months and gave birth to. Hearing that she fainted from crying, her heart ached.
"Mother, I want to go see Yi'er..."
"Mother." Xu Wanning pulled her closer, pleading, "Mother, please stay with Ning'er... Can we go to my sister's place tomorrow?"
One is her biological daughter, and the other is an adopted daughter that she has raised for more than ten years and invested countless efforts in.
Mrs. Xu was in a dilemma for a moment.
