Chapter 429 Angry Away (Two More)
Especially Yuan Yuwan, she is the wife of Xiao Qirui's bright media, who knows if Feng Manman will use her as a stepping stone and do anything against her.
Not long after the post was handed in, Young Bai came out.
She led the master and servant in, and she was not idle along the way, whispering to Shen Yijia about the recent events in the house.
In Young Bai's opinion, Shen Yijia has helped her young lady several times. She is one of the few people in the world who is good and reliable to her young lady, and it is not a secret, and there is nothing that cannot be said.
"The general had a big quarrel with his wife for some reason, and he was so angry that he packed up the things and returned to Mindong's mother's house. The eldest miss was worried about his wife and followed him."
Shen Yijia was a little surprised. Xiao Ruoshui left the capital without even calling her to say hello. It seemed that the incident happened quite suddenly.
Thinking of this, Shen Yijia took a step.
Couldn't General Xiao deliberately drive Madam Xiao away because of Feng Manman?
He knew that Xiao Ruoshui was not worried about her mother, and would definitely follow her. In this way, the two women in the backyard were kept away from Feng Manman. On the one hand, it also provided convenience for Feng Manman...
Shen Yijia pursed her lips and asked, "Mindong is so high and far away, how can General Xiao rest assured to let Aunt Xiao and Ruoshui go?"
Youbai knew that Shen Yijia had a good relationship with Xiao Ruoshui, and thought she was worried about Xiao Ruoshui, so she pursed her lips and smiled to comfort: "Don't watch the general arguing so fiercely that everyone in the house knows it. But when I heard that Mrs. and Miss were out As soon as I walked through the door, I immediately sent a team of people to follow to protect it. My lady said, General Xiao actually cares about his wife and eldest lady, but..."
She looked around and coughed twice, and whispered in Shen Yijia's ear: "It's just too much face, I can't keep my face down."
This is also talking about the master of the family. If someone listens to it, it's okay, and Young Bai also treats Shen Yijia as his own and dares to follow her.
Hearing what Youbai said, Shen Yijia felt more of the truth.
What about Sister Yuwan?
Shen Yijia suddenly felt that she was very lucky. After crossing over, she got a handsome husband. Not to mention, the Li family was also good to her.
Although it was a bit difficult at first, to Shen Yijia, those were nothing.
Of course, it cannot be said that General Xiao's actions are wrong. After all, everyone is close and distant, and it is impossible to send all the women in the house away.
But Shen Yijia just felt a little distressed for Yuan Yuwan, who would try her best to take care of everyone around her like a big sister.
She is cared by the Song family, and Xiao Ruoshui is protected by General Xiao.
What about Yuan Yuwan?
Even the old Yuange who was good to her gave her blessings because of her intelligence.
It is not difficult to imagine that if Yuan Yuwan was like the other children of the Yuan family, the old Yuan Pavilion would have given up on her just like those people...
But this not pure love is the only warmth she has ever received in her life.
You Bai didn't know what Shen Yijia was thinking, she puffed her cheeks and continued: "Now my young lady is the housekeeper in this mansion, so Aunt Qiao will pick on her every three days. This is to steal the stewardship from my young lady. ."
"Who is Aunt Qiao?" Shen Yijia asked subconsciously.
Youbai lowered his voice again: "Just the most favored aunt in the general's backyard."
"Xiao Ruoqian's biological mother?" Shen Yijia pouted, if someone told her before that Qiao's favored her.
After learning about General Xiao's arrangement, she didn't believe it at all.
Without knowing what Feng Manman was going to do, she sent Mrs. Xiao and her daughter away directly. It was obvious that they didn't want them to take a little risk. If they really liked Qiao, how could they not send her away.
"It's that woman." Youbai raised his chin proudly: "But my young lady is not easy to bully, and letting her jump up and down didn't give her any good."
While speaking, several people have already arrived at Jinxiuyuan.
"What kind of tongue are you chewing with Jiajia?" Yuan Yuwan was placing snacks on the waterside with a few maids, and she hurriedly greeted her when she saw someone.
She was holding the woman's bun, which was more gentle, her complexion was also good, and she seemed to be living well.
"Slave didn't say anything." You Bai blinked innocently.
Yuan Yuwan didn't know her yet, and luckily it didn't take a long time to get here from the gate of the mansion, otherwise the Xiao family's old bottom would have to be smashed to her.
But she also knew that Youbai didn't do this to everyone, so she didn't continue the topic, pulled Shen Yijia to sit down in the waterside, and said with a smile: "It happened that I brought a few of them to make some snacks in the small kitchen, you can try it, if I think it's not bad, I'll bring some back to my aunt and the others to eat later."
Looking at the delicate pastries on the table, Shen Yijia grinned: "Okay."
She tasted a piece of each, and gave Mo Yuan a piece if she thought it was delicious.
Yuan Yuwan saw that the two of them liked to eat, and she felt a sense of accomplishment inexplicably, and she poured two cups of tea and pushed it over: "Mo Yuan also sit down and eat."
She knew that the Song family didn't have so many rules, and she didn't want to restrain them here.
Mo Yuan glanced at Shen Yijia, saw that she had no objection, and sat down expressionlessly.
When Shen Yijia had almost eaten, Yuan Yuwan said, "That girl Youbai told you, Ruoshui accompanied her mother-in-law to Mindong a few days ago and was not at the mansion."
"Well, I've said it." Shen Yijia poured a cup of tea and drank it, holding her chin and looking at Yuan Yuwan: "Then will you be bored in the mansion? Why don't you stay at my house for a while?"
Yuan Yuwan laughed dumbly: "I'm in charge of the house now, how can I live at your house."
She glanced at Shen Yijia, then suddenly turned to the two maids behind her and instructed: "Is there still some snacks in the small kitchen, you can bring some to Yulan Courtyard and Qingzhi Courtyard."
The two maids should step back.
After she was done, she sent You Bai to pack snacks for Shen Yijia, and there were only the three of them left in the waterside.
"Why are you here today?" Yuan Yuwan asked.
Shen Yijia scratched her head: "Am I being so obvious?"
Yuan Yuwan looked at her seriously, and said with a pouting smile, "I just need to write 'I have something to say' on my face in big characters."
OK~
That's what she came here for anyway.
Immediately, Shen Yijia told her and Song Jingchen's suspicions about Feng Manman and Chen Duo'er, and Song Jingchen did not hide the fact that he had found General Xiao.
Yuan Yuwan suddenly said, "No wonder."
Shen Yijia asked, "Why?"
"No wonder father-in-law agreed so easily to me asking for Miss Feng to come in." Yuan Yuwan smiled.
At first, she thought it was just a concubine, and it was not surprising that General Xiao would agree. It was not until Mrs. Qiao ran to her several times to say how many crimes Xiao Qirui had suffered for Feng Manman, and the general did not agree, and she put down all kinds of harsh words. Something is wrong.
She thought she didn't have the face to make General Xiao let go of his grudge against Feng Manman.
It makes sense now.
Shen Yijia rarely got serious, and said seriously: "You have the stewardship right now, and you are afraid that Feng Manman will think that you are in the way and attack you, so you must be careful of her. You must not eat anything she has touched..."
As for the speculation that General Xiao deliberately made Madam Xiao angry, she didn't say anything. Yuan Yuwan couldn't think of anything she could think of.
It turned out that she did think of it, and she said, "The two maids I sent to deliver snacks were sent to me by my father-in-law's housekeeper."
"Hey?" Shen Yijia didn't pay attention to those two people just now, and didn't understand why she said this.
"Those two maids have great skills," Mo Yuan interjected.
Yuan Yuwan smiled and nodded, and said nothing more.
Shen Yijia breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that General Xiao had plans.
Thinking of the poison, Shen Yijia asked, "Can you call Feng Manman over for a while?"
Yuan Yuwan didn't ask her why, she took a sip of the tea cup and said meaningfully, "She will come over by herself in a while."
Not long after she finished speaking, she saw the two maids sent by Yuan Yuwan to deliver snacks came back, one of them was followed by Feng Manman with a veil on her face.
She came to express her thanks and give a gift in return. Mrs. Qiao didn't come, but she also asked the maid to bring a gift in return, a tin of tea.
Yuan Yuwan asked the maid to put away the tea leaves and looked at Feng Manman: "Why did you come here again?"
Word after word, Shen Yijia raised her eyebrows, it seemed that Feng Manman would often come to Jinxiuyuan.
Feng Manman bowed to the two of them, and gave a wink to the maid beside her. The maid put the box in her hand on the stone table, opened it by the way, and placed a white jade hairpin which was very valuable at first sight.
Feng Manman embarrassedly pulled the broken hair from her temples behind her ears, and said delicately, "I like the dessert that the young lady gave me, but I only have some skills that are not on the table, so I don't dare to show it to me, so I can only borrow flowers to present to the Buddha. I took this hosta as a gift, and I hope the young lady doesn't dislike it."
Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha?
Whose flowers are you borrowing, Xiao Qirui's?
Are you sure you're not showing off?
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes, and without waiting for Yuan Yuwan to speak, she picked up the hosta and played with it a few times, then said with a smile, "Sister Yuwan, this hosta is very suitable for you, come, I'll bring it for you. ."
As she said that, she inserted the hosta directly into Yuan Yuwan's bun, and clapped her hands, "It's really pretty, Mo Yuan, what do you think?"
Mo Yuan did not miss the stunned look in Feng Manman's eyes, and nodded: "It's beautiful."
It was not the first time that Feng Manman showed off something that Xiao Qirui had given, but Yuan Yuwan never took it up or accepted it.
But this time, she didn't go to demolish Shen Yijia's stage, she stroked the jade hairpin, and said with a smile, "Aunt Feng's eyes are always good, so I'll be disrespectful."
Feng Manman squeezed the handkerchief tightly. She didn't expect Yuan Yuwan to really accept it.
Shen Yijia glanced at Feng Manman: "The jade hairpin is good-looking, but the most important thing is that because Sister Yuwan is good-looking, even if she wears a wooden hairpin, she will look good."
She didn't target Feng Manman's appearance, but that's what Feng Manman heard her mean.
The face under the veil was contorted with anger.
Yuan Yuwan said, "If Aunt Feng is okay, just sit down and talk."
Feng Manman ate at Shen Yijia twice in a row, and didn't want to stay. Just as he was about to delay something, someone grabbed his wrist.
She was stunned.
Mo Yuan stood up to give up her seat.
Shen Yijia directly pulled Feng Manman to sit down and said with a smile: "There are still a lot of dim sum here, don't you think it's delicious, eat some and go back."
Feeling the temperature on her wrist, Feng Manman was startled. Before she could react, Shen Yijia had already withdrawn her hand.
They all sat down, and it was inappropriate to leave, Feng Manman could only bow his head in thanks.
At this time, You Bai came back with a food box, and when she saw Feng Manman, she immediately put down the food box and stood behind Yuan Yuwan.
Mo Yuan walked over and said something to her. You Bai glanced at Feng Manman in embarrassment, then looked at Shen Yijia, and finally nodded and took Mo Yuan away.
Feng Manman asked anxiously, "What's wrong with them?"
Shen Yijia waved her hand indifferently: "Oh, the desserts made by Sister Yuwan are so delicious, Mo Yuan just ate too much."
Seeing that they were indeed going in the direction of Gongfang, Feng Manman had no doubts.
The General's Mansion is not as delicately decorated as the Civilian Mansion. It looks unpretentious everywhere. The only decoration is a few rockeries, or the green plants neatly planted on both sides of the road.
In front of Gongfang, Mo Yuan stopped and said, "I have a stomachache. It may take longer. Just wait for me here."
There is just a rockery in front of you, and Youbai can rest on the rockery.
Although Shen Yijia was there, Youbai still didn't want to leave Yuan Yuwan for too long, and urged: "Then Sister Mo Yuan, go quickly."
Watching Mo Yuan walk into Gong's room, You Bai found a place to sit down, and after a while, she began to fall asleep.
...
"Wake up~" A voice sounded in his ear, and You Bai stood up in a daze. Seeing it was Mo Yuan, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Mo Yuan, how are you? Then let's go back, you don't know how much Concubine Feng is. Hate……"
Mo Yuan gave her a strange look, just so vigilant, she still wanted to protect others.
Usually, I am afraid that Miss Yuan will protect her more often.
When the two returned to Shuixie, Feng Manman just came out with her maid, her aunt was half a master no matter what, Mo Yuan followed Young Bai to get out of the way.
Feng Manman frowned as she walked past the two of them, and she didn't say anything until she left the Jinxiu Courtyard, "Did you smell the fragrance on Mrs. Song's handmaiden?"
The maid shook her head: "No."
Didn't Mrs. Song just say that they are going out to pay tribute? How can it be fragrant when you come out of Gong's room?
"But how did I smell the incense in my room on her?"
"It's from your own body, auntie." The maid smiled and said, "There should be some on the slaves too."
"Is that so?" Feng Manman shook his head and thought to himself too much.
Shen Yijia left after having lunch at Xiao's house.
Looking at the direction of the gate of the courtyard, Yuan Yuwan took off the hosta from her head and held it in her hand, and suddenly asked, "Where is the major general resting these days?"
This is the first time Yuan Yuwan has asked Xiao Qirui. Usually, she will stop her if she wants to mention Yuan Yuwan.
Youbai just thought that Shen Yijia persuaded her lady, and her lady finally decided to fight for it.
She was overjoyed at first, and then her face fell when she thought of something: "In the first few days, my uncle rested in the front yard, and then the man from Yulan Court ran to the front yard with the soup, and I don't know what to say. Stop over there."
After she finished speaking, she spat: "I have never seen her so shameless before..."
"Okay." Yuan Yuwan reluctantly interrupted her and handed the hosta to the maid next to her: "When the Major General returns from the barracks in the evening, you can invite him over for dinner."
You Bai was stunned for a while, then realized that he had heard it right, and happily replied, "Yes."
Three days before the big wedding, Xiao Qirui went to Yuan Yuwan's room every day to lay the floor, seeing that she was uncomfortable, so she didn't go there again.
However, when he returned to the mansion every day, he would still subconsciously walk to the gate of Jinxiuyuan, but he never dared to step in.
