Chapter 311 You Should Call Her Sister
Xue knew that Xiao Xixi didn't like her, so she tactfully didn't say much.
She watched Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Xixi interact quietly.
When the time was almost right, Xue took Xiao Zhilan and said goodbye, and the mother and daughter left the palace.
After they left the palace, they took a carriage back to the general's mansion.
Xiao Zhilan lowered her head and played with the purse in her hand. She felt as if there was something in the purse. She opened the purse, took a look inside, and found an amulet inside.
She quickly remembered that her sister had also given her a talisman last time, but unfortunately it was thrown away by her mother.
Xue asked, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Zhilan was afraid that her mother would throw away the amulet, so she quickly stuffed the purse into her arms and shook her little head like a rattle.
"nothing."
Xue looked at her suspiciously, thinking that her little daughter was not telling the truth.
If it were in the past, Xue would definitely force her youngest daughter to take out the purse for her to check. She was afraid that there was something wrong with what Xiao Xixi gave her. But the situation is different now.
Facts have proved that Xiao Xixi is not a doomed star, so there should be nothing wrong with the things she gave to Xiao Zhilan.
Xue did not ask about the purse, but helped her little daughter straighten her collar and asked in a gentle voice.
"Do you like your sister?"
Xiao Zhilan nodded vigorously: "I like it!"
Perhaps because of blood relationship, she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with her sister when she first met her sister.
Unfortunately, her family didn't allow her to get close to her sister at that time, so she could only watch her sister from afar.
Now that her parents finally allowed her to interact with her sister, she was naturally very happy.
Xue said with relief: "Since you like my sister, you should spend more time with her in the future and make her like you even more."
Xiao Zhilan was still young and she could not understand her parents' deeper intentions. She could only vaguely feel that although her parents' attitude towards her sister had changed, they did not feel too close to her.
Hearing his mother's words at this time, Xiao Zhilan pursed his lips and then spoke in a low voice.
"It's good enough that my sister doesn't hate me."
Xue was stunned: "Why do you think so?"
Xiao Zhilan felt that if she was the older sister, and was sent away by her parents for fifteen years, and then returned home and saw her younger sister being raised and cared for, she would definitely feel very uncomfortable, and might even hate her younger sister.
But instead of hating her, her sister was even gentle to her.
It is really not easy for my sister to achieve this.
Xiao Zhilan didn't dare to ask for more.
She couldn't tell these words to her mother, so she could only reply sullenly.
"I don't know, that's what I think."
Mrs. Xue patted her head and comforted her, "Don't let your imagination run wild. She is your biological sister, so she will naturally like you. Your relationship will only get better and better in the future."
Xiao Zhilan: "Oh."
The carriage stopped at the gate of General Zhongwu's mansion.
Xue brought Xiao Zhilan back home. When Xiao Lingfeng saw them coming back, he immediately went to greet them and asked with concern.
"How's it going? How are Xixi and Xiaolan getting along?"
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "They get along very well. Xixi likes Xiaolan very much. Before leaving, Xixi even gave Xiaolan a purse."
Xiao Lingfeng immediately burst into laughter: "That's good! That's good!"
He looked at his well-behaved little daughter and said, "You must get along well with your sister in the future. In a few years, I will ask your sister to help you find a good family. Then you won't have to worry about the rest of your life."
Mrs. Xue said hurriedly, "Xiao Lan is still young, don't tell her this."
Xiao Lingfeng didn't care: "Xiao Lan is already ten years old this year. In three or four years, she will be ready to meet someone. It's good to let her prepare herself mentally in advance."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xue felt very reluctant: "I don't want Xiaolan to get married so early. I want to keep her for two more years."
Following this topic, the couple began to chat about trivial matters at home.
Xiao Zhilan didn't like to hear this, so he turned around and ran out.
She returned to her bedroom and took out her needle, thread and cloth.
She deliberately selected a piece of cloth with the best texture, cut it carefully, then sat by the window and began to embroider seriously.
At this moment, a young man suddenly ran to the window and shouted through the window.
"Xiao Lan!"
Xiao Zhilan looked up and saw that the person coming was his brother. He couldn't help but pause and said, "Brother, why are you here?"
The boy is fourteen years old this year. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is taller than his peers and looks somewhat similar to Xiao Lingfeng.
His name is Xiao Qiming. He is the eldest son of the General Zhongwu's Mansion and also the biological brother of Xiao Zhilan.
Xiao Qiming seemed to have just returned from hanging out outside, with a few beads of sweat hanging from the tip of his nose.
He grinned at Xiao Zhilan, revealing two little fangs.
"I heard that you went to the palace with your mother, so I wanted to ask you, did you meet that person?"
Xiao Zhilan wrinkled his nose: "Who is it?"
"That someone." Xiao Qiming wanted to say but was too embarrassed to say it, looking very troubled, "Hey, why are you so stupid? I'm talking about Concubine Xiao."
Xiao Zhilan corrected him, "You should call her sister."
Xiao Qiming snorted disdainfully, "She's already married, why is she still calling me sister? Besides, my relationship with her isn't that deep."
Xiao Zhilan found her brother's behavior quite annoying, so she simply turned around, turned her back to him, and ignored him.
Xiao Qiming called her twice, but she ignored him.
He supported himself on the windowsill with his hands, jumped up, climbed over the window and jumped into the house.
He walked around to Xiao Zhilan and asked.
"You haven't answered my question yet. Did you go to the palace to see Concubine Xiao just now?"
Xiao Zhilan glared at him angrily: "So what? Why do you care so much?!"
Xiao Qiming crossed his arms over his chest and said in a mature tone, "I came here to ask you a few more questions because I heard some bad rumors outside today. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Xiao also has the surname Xiao, I wouldn't bother asking so many questions!"
"What rumors have you heard?"
"Today, I was questioned by several classmates at the Imperial College about Concubine Xiao. They wanted to know if Concubine Xiao was really born with bad luck. Those guys usually don't get along with me, and I don't know where they heard about this today. They deliberately came to pick a fight with me. I was so angry that I punched them twice."
Having said this, he realized that he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag and quickly reminded others.
"You are not allowed to tell my parents about the fight. If you dare to tell anyone, I will beat you up too!"
Xiao Qiming even raised his fist deliberately, looking ferocious.
Xiao Zhilan had long been accustomed to her brother's behavior and did not take his threats seriously at all, so she asked.
"Then what?"
