The eldest lady opened her mouth, and the grievance she felt just now turned into a guilty conscience. She lowered her head: "I don't know either."

"Where is she?"

The eldest lady still shook her head. Seeing that Xiao Huai didn't speak or leave, she knew that he didn't believe it, so she couldn't help but become anxious.

"I really do not know."

"I wanted to kill her. I had someone drug her and wait until she was unconscious before throwing her out to freeze to death. Who knew that not even an hour after she was thrown out, she would disappear..."

"In this cold winter, who knows who rescued her, or was she dragged away by jackals, tigers and leopards?"

Xiao Huai nodded and asked again: "Your people chased Xiao Luoyi, where did they go?"

The eldest lady knew about this. She curled her lips and was a little dissatisfied: "Those people are really useless. They chased them to... Yongzhou Mansion? They even lost them and only killed a servant in the end. Trash!"

Xiao Huai lowered his eyes and sighed silently: In recent years, as the eldest lady of the Xiao family and in charge of the huge Xiao family's inner house, my mother has grown her temper and become more ruthless.

Two human lives, one of which was her father's biological daughter, were as light as an ant in her eyes.

When asked by herself at this moment, she had no regrets.

As the head of the house and the mother-in-law, she is so virtuous.

A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed in an ant nest. Is this a sign of the Xiao family's downfall?

There is no point in talking anymore. Ghost Master Xiao Huai stood up and saluted the eldest lady: "In that case, I'll leave first."

He didn't say "child", but said "I", just as the ghost master.

The eldest lady was already used to it. She felt aggrieved and vaguely proud, so she immediately returned the greeting: "Ghost Master, go slowly."

After Xiao Huai left, the eldest lady called her personal mother-in-law: "Go and have Qiong Yaoxuan cleaned up and replaced with the most exquisite furnishings... Compare it to the eldest lady's boudoir."

The mother-in-law was stunned: "I wonder which distinguished guest is coming to stay in the house for a while?" Maybe it can be arranged according to the guest's preferences?

The eldest lady's eyes were filled with coldness, but there was a sarcastic smile on her lips: "My master's daughter raised outside is coming back. The master and the ghost master have repeatedly warned her that she must be settled according to the specifications of the legitimate daughter."

Mother-in-law: "This... this..."

Seeing the mother-in-law's shock, the eldest lady felt a slight joy in her heart: Don't you just want her to be valued?

I'll let everyone see who can't get off the stage when they see it!

The mother-in-law was shocked, but she still followed the instructions.

The eldest lady said again: "Go and call all the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh ladies over. I want to lecture you."

A lecture?

It's all for no reason, and the ladies didn't make any mistakes, so what are you trying to say?

The mother-in-law agreed and went.

Not long after, a group of slim girls came over, chattering as they walked, with dissatisfaction and grievance on their faces.

"Fourth sister, that woman who doesn't know where she came from, she said she wanted to live in Qiong Yaoxuan as soon as she came in. You wanted to live in Qiong Yaoxuan, but the eldest lady refused! Why is that outsider here?"

"that is!"

"This is too bullying..."

The girls entered the courtyard chattering and discussing, and the mother-in-law reported what she heard along the way to the eldest lady in advance.

After hearing these words, the eldest lady pursed her lips with satisfaction: That's how it should be! I would like to let the master know that this arrangement is not inappropriate for me alone, but for everyone in the family.

But on the surface, the eldest lady put on the attitude of a strict mother and looked at the girls in front of her: "Do you know why I called you here today?"

The little sisters looked at each other, not daring to speak first.

Finally, the youngest Miss Seventh spoke: "Madam, did you ask us to talk about Qiong Yaoxuan?"

The eldest lady nodded: "Yes and no. Your father has a daughter outside. She has never come back before. This is the first time she has come back."

"Your father has said that she needs the same treatment as a legitimate daughter, and it can only be higher but not lower, so I packed up Qiong Yaoxuan and let her move in."

"I called you here today to remind you that you all need to be respectful and humble when dealing with this sister who has just returned, and you must not be rude or disrespectful!"

It was Miss Seven who said in confusion: "Qiong Yaoxuan is where the eldest sister lived in the past. Although the eldest sister married far away, how can her yard be used by someone who came back from outside?"

Miss Six couldn't help but answer: "That's right! There are so many empty courtyards in our house, why should we give the best Qiong Yaoxuan to that outsider?"

"Shut up!" The eldest lady slapped her hand on the table, with a tigerish face full of majesty, "What foreign, foreign? You are rich ladies, how can you be so speechless! Careful, I will go back and tell your father, when the time comes Don’t blame me for not reminding you!"

These ladies all grew up in big houses, so they naturally understand what this means.

In other words: If you want to embarrass the outsider, you can't let your father get the handle. The eldest lady will pretend not to know.

But it was obvious that the eldest lady hoped that the outsider would learn a lesson.

As the boudoir lady of the back house, and at the age when she is about to get engaged, her marriage is in the hands of the mistress of the house. Naturally, the mistress is more important than the head of the house!

They all knew the rules, and the sisters looked at each other. The fourth lady saluted and asked, "Mother, I wonder what that sister looks like? If we see her in person, don't ignore her because we don't know her."

The eldest lady pointed to the mother-in-law beside her: "I heard that our young lady is married and lives in the courtyard of the ghost master Yudun. I have never seen a real person..."

The mother-in-law explained with a smile: "Yesterday, the young lady and her wife followed the ghost master Yu Dun through the city. Many people in the city have seen them. It just so happened that the shopping girl in the yard also saw them. I will ask her to take you to meet them later."

The little sisters agreed and followed the mother-in-law.

Dali City, which looks calm on the outside, has begun to have some turmoil inside because of Xiao Luoyi's sudden arrival.

Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin were shopping in Dali City and soon met Luo Shiniang and Chang Qing.

Luo Shiniang's face was full of surprise: "Oh, Mrs. Xiao! Second Master Chen! How could it be such a coincidence? Are you out for a stroll?"

Xiao Luoyi looked at the dishes in front of him, thought for a moment and extended his hand to invite him: "Let's eat something together?"

Luo Shiniang sat down immediately.

Chen Huaijin's face turned dark.

When Chang Qing saw Chen Huaijin's face turned dark, he felt a little embarrassed and went to pull Luo Shiniang's sleeve.

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to eat the southern dim sum from Luo Ji Dim Sum Shop over there? Let's go buy it first?"

Luo Shiniang was completely unaware and waved her hand: "Go buy it and bring it over. Don't forget to bring a copy to Mrs. Xiao and the others!"

Chang Qing glanced at Chen Huaijin helplessly: Brother, it's not that I don't have a wink, it's because I am a woman who not only has no wink, but also refuses to listen to advice!
