Chapter 874 Miss Zhao Er Wants to Vent Her Anger on Her Sister’s Behalf
Shao Wanru and Gu Xishu returned to the flower hall where they had previously entertained guests. After what happened before, Gu Xishu no longer dared to be tyrannical in front of Shao Wanru, and was even unwilling to appear in front of Shao Wanru. After returning, she sat with Shao Cailing, The two people talked affectionately.
The two of them grew up together, but Shao Cailing used to play with Shao Caihuan. Only Gu Ximei and Wen Xiyan, the girl from Wenfu, and Shao Yanru and Shao Jie'er were closer. Later, Wen Xiyan Something happened, and the two families moved further apart. Later, when everyone got older, the side door between the two houses was blocked for the sake of the girl's reputation.
However, there was no one else around at the moment. Gu Xishu felt that it was better to talk to Shao Cailing. The two of them were talking about some interesting things from their childhood. Shao Wanru sat beside them and listened with calm eyes, looking quite interested. , but in fact, he has already wandered away from the world.
What does Wen Xichi mean by this painting? Does it also remind him of things from his previous life?
I obviously didn't think of him when I saw him before. Why did he suddenly think of something? But even so, he shouldn't paint this kind of painting. If people see it, he really thinks that he has something like him before, especially Chu Liuchen. What will happen if Chu Liuchen knows, Shao It’s like I really can’t eat it for sure!
In Shao Wanru's last life, Chu Liuchen's whole person was dark in his memory. Although he was aloof, his whole person actually gave people a feeling of darkness, despair, and full of hostility. The last scene was particularly memorable. It was clear that the dead figures of the beautiful ladies were on the road of the palace, and the blood stained the tall palace palace red.
What is he doing? Why did he do this?
With Chu Liuchen's character, he would do this unless he was crazy, but what could make him so crazy? He even spared those weak and beautiful girls who were not harmful to him, and stained the sky with blood. Why was he so desperate, so bloody and violent!
What happened? What did you forget? She clenched the handkerchief unconsciously, as if the soft handkerchief would support her. Under her thick eyelashes, her eyes were cold and trembling. She didn't dare to guess or assume too much. .
Is it...is it...
"Fifth sister...Fifth sister..." Zhao Xiran's voice seemed to come from outside the sky, pulling her thoughts back.
"Sister-in-law!" Shao Wanru raised his head and said softly.
"Fifth sister is not feeling well, why is her face so pale?" Zhao Xiran asked in a low voice with concern.
Shao Wanru's face has always been white and tender with a hint of pink, a very healthy color, and looks delicate and beautiful. But now her face is as white as snow, with an aura of frost, as if she will support her at the next moment. As if he couldn't stand it any longer.
Gu Xishu glanced at her with a little doubt in her eyes.
Shao Wanru reached out and touched his head, and said feebly: "I don't know if I didn't sleep well at night. This makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
"Let me take you to rest!" Zhao Xiran suggested.
Such banquets often have a courtyard for the women to rest.
"No need, it might be better if you sit down for a while!" Shao Wanru shook his head and rejected Zhao Xiran's kindness.
"That's not okay. You can't be sick now... It's better to take a rest first. If you still feel bad, I'll go back with you later!"
Zhao Xiran said pointedly.
Shao Wanru was about to get married, and she was still marrying King Chen. The wedding was very close, and there really couldn't be any more surprises at this time.
"Miss Shao Wu, I'll take you to rest!" Seeing Shao Wanru's expression was abnormal, Gu Xishu stood up and said.
Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Wen were chatting with several older ladies. At this time, there were so many people that no one noticed them.
"Then I'll trouble Miss Gu!" Before Shao Wanru could speak, Zhao Xiran had already answered.
"It's not troublesome, we originally arranged a place to rest!" Gu Xishu said with a smile.
"I'll accompany Fifth Sister there too!" Shao Cailing saw that she had nothing to do here and stood up.
Speaking of this, Shao Wanru's refusal seemed a bit pretentious. He stood up and followed Gu Xishu out of the flower hall together.
The resting place was a bit far away from the flower hall, but it was much quieter. There were no female relatives coming over at this time, which made it even quieter.
Several people accompanied Shao Wanru into a room nearby. The maid from Wen Xiang's Mansion who was waiting there hurriedly came to wait on him, presented him with tea, and then withdrew politely.
"Sister-in-law and fourth sister, please go back first. Miss Gu, please go back as well. I'll just lie down for a while. There's nothing else to do!" Shao Wanru said politely.
"I have nothing to do anyway, so just stay with the fifth sister. When the fourth sister goes back, tell her grandmother that I am here to accompany the fifth sister. The fifth sister is here alone, so I don't worry!" Zhao Xiran has a very sister-in-law style. arranged.
Shao Cailing nodded. She didn't say a word to the madam when she left. She really should go back and say something at this time.
Gu Ximei looked at Shao Wanru, who had a bad face, and her eyes were very suspicious. She wanted to stay and have a look, but she had no reason to stay, so she could only "care" for Shao Wanru for a few more words, Then he took Shao Cailing and left.
"Fifth sister, please go inside and rest. I'll just sit outside!" Zhao Xiran said softly.
Shao Wanru nodded and did not refuse. She was also very upset at the moment and really wanted to find a place where no one was around to calm down and think about it.
If Wen Xichi really remembered what happened in his previous life, what should he do and what he could do!
In this life, she and Wen Xichi didn't have much connection before. Except for her initial warning, in her memory, Wen Xichi was very kind to her, but that kind of kindness was like a kind-hearted brother, even if he was Wen Xichi remembered that this painting should not exist.
Except for his coat, lying on the bed inside, Shao Wanru was half asleep thinking about this.
What happened to Wen Xichi was so unexpected that it made her panic for a moment. She didn't know how to tell Chu Liuchen about it.
This matter was too mysterious and unbelievable, and there was no way to talk about it. If Shao Wanru hadn't experienced it personally, she wouldn't have believed it.
In a daze, my head felt a little dizzy, and then I slowly retreated into a deep sleep, as if I was groping in the darkness. Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and some of the disappeared memories seemed to be restored...
Zhao Xiran and the maid were sitting outside. When they heard the voices inside became quiet, they picked up a Book of Songs from the dressing table and started reading.
The book was prepared early, and it must have been kept specially to prevent the female family members from being idle.
What is left is not only a book, but also some other small things, and even a few small flower products. They are not finished products. The ladies who are resting here can also chat with the maids. Play with Zhajuan flowers.
Recently, japonicas are popular in Beijing, and the maids who follow the ladies are more or less familiar with it. While chatting, tying some fashionable garlands, this is how the ladies can spend time without getting tired. Moreover, these flowers have already been partially made, and the heads have already been made, so it is even easier to make.
Paired with some small accessories prepared by Prime Minister Wen's Mansion for the ladies, it is indeed unique and novel.
But Zhao Xiran didn't like it very much, so he casually picked up the poetry book and read it. The room was very quiet, except for the sound of her turning the book. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door gently. Zhao Xiran looked up and motioned to the maid to open the door.
A beautiful girl with a round face ran in from the door. When she saw Zhao Xiran, she said in surprise: "Sister, you are indeed here!"
Zhao Xiran's face also showed joy, and he hurriedly reached out and pointed inside, indicating that someone was going to sleep inside.
The beautiful girl with a round face immediately lowered her voice, nodded, and even relaxed her steps a lot, but her steps were still long, which showed that she was extremely surprised.
"Sister, I heard that you were here, so I hurriedly came to find you." The girl walked to Zhao Xiran and sat down, and said in an excited voice, "Sister, how are you doing at Xingguohou Mansion? I heard that Xingguohou Mansion is The people here don’t seem to like this marriage very much. They said that your marriage to your eldest brother-in-law caused the Xingguo Marquis Mansion to demote your title!"
The girl is Zhao Xiran's biological sister Zhao Xiqiong. The relationship between the two sisters is very good. When she returned home that day, Zhao Xiqiong did not find time to talk to her sister in private. She was very worried about her sister's life in Xingguo Hou Mansion. Although the eldest sister He has been smart since he was a child, but after such an unfortunate thing happened, what's the use of just being smart.
"If you don't say this, it's just gossip from people outside!" Zhao Xiran replied softly with a smile, his expression was extremely peaceful.
"Sister, did they really not do anything to you?" Zhao Xiqiong said dubiously.
"It's really nothing. They are all very nice to me. Don't worry about your father and mother. Don't pass on any nonsense that people outside say to them. It won't bother them!" Zhao Xiran continued to comfort Zhao Xiqiong.
Seeing her sister say this again and again, Zhao Xiqiong became dubious and looked sideways at the inner room. There was a curtain hanging in the inner room, but nothing could be seen. She couldn't help but become curious, but her voice became lower and lower: "Who is inside? Is she the wife of the Marquis of Xingguo?"
"No, it's Miss Shao Wu!" Zhao Xiran shook his head.
"Miss Shao Wu?" After Zhao Xiqiong repeated the sentence, she suddenly became furious and said angrily on behalf of her eldest sister, "Eldest sister, you still said that your life was good. Look at your life now. A sister-in-law has to rest and sleep. Is it the rules of the Xingguohou Mansion to let you, the sister-in-law, help guard the door? No wonder others say that the Xingguohou Mansion looks very well behaved, but in fact it is a place without rules!"
When he got angry, his voice could not help but become louder.
Zhao Xiran hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, while whispering: "The fifth sister is asleep, please stay lower. No one asked me to come and watch over you. I just saw that there was nothing wrong, so I accompanied the fifth sister here." Yes, it’s not what you think!”
