Sky-high pillow: the chief domineering substitute bride

Chapter 100 The servant's gossip

"Mother Hu, you are so dirty, what did you do just now? Shouldn't you be cooking for the new uncle in the kitchen?"

"Hey, don't mention it, what's the new son-in-law? People said it was a sudden idea, or they said it was in a hurry. I was busy in the kitchen for a long time, but my wife said that I removed the extra prepared ingredients.

I don't think this uncle treats the eldest lady very well. He has been engaged for so long and has never come to the door once. "

Mama Hu's familiar complaining voice sounded outside the conservatory.

Because Xia Yuan was looking around in the conservatory, she was covered by thick vegetation, and Mama Hu and another servant did not see her.

At this point, there are usually no people in the flower room, so they didn't notice that Xia Yuan was still inside, so their voices were so loud that Xia Yuan could hear them clearly.

It turned out that the servants were talking about her marriage like this behind their backs.

Moreover, Nangong Junyan was so shameless tonight, in fact, the servants also saw it.

"Hey, you haven't said why you are so dirty? It has nothing to do with the kitchen, right? It's all cobwebs and dust." Another servant continued to ask persistently.

"Oh, didn't you say that the kitchen is not busy? In the end, Madam asked me to help the old horse, and found an old dresser from the basement. The Madam said that it matched the retro atmosphere of her dressing room very well, so that We carried the dressing table to the second floor, and I was exhausted, where did you hide just now? It stands to reason that you, a young man, should do this! You almost lost your waist."

"Hey, don't you just lift a dressing table, will it take so many people?"

"You don't know. I don't know how my wife found out that dressing table. According to my wife, it has a history of at least a hundred years. The wood is quite heavy. It should be made of high-quality wood. My wife values ​​it very much."

"Oh, I heard that this house used to be lived by the British, and there may be a lot of good things hidden in the basement."

"What, how did I hear that this house was haunted earlier?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. My wife will scold you. Besides, aren't you afraid of being on duty in the house at night after you talk like that?"

Hu Ma and another servant walked away gradually while talking.

Xia Yuan listened to the gossip for a while, and the funniest thing was that there were a few gossips about her.However, she didn't care too much, she has been a human being for two lifetimes, and her temperament has long been far from that of a human being. How can it be that a sentence or a half will break through the inner defense line?

You come, I welcome.

If you don't come, I'm calm.

Towards Nangong Toshihiko, Xia Yuan has a willing and cherishing attitude.

But if it wasn't hers, she wouldn't force it.

Love cannot be obtained by crying, kneeling, tearing one's heart and lungs.

All of this, after the hardships of the previous life and the humility in front of love, Xia Yuan has already grasped it, penetrated into the bone marrow, and transformed it into her usual words, deeds and life.

Toshihiko Nangong, still to be investigated...

It's hers, and no one else can take it away.

It's not hers, and you can't force it.

As the lightning and thunder intensified, the sky darkened quickly, and it was supposed to be a thunderstorm, so Xia Yuan walked out of the garden greenhouse and went back to the safe house.

"Hey, Yuanyuan, where were you just now?"

The strange thing is that Qin Rui's voice didn't have a hint of sarcasm, instead it made people feel warm and friendly. Logically, shouldn't she be happy to see Xia Yuan being unlucky?

Xia Yuan didn't realize it for a while, but when she saw that Qin Rui was looking at her with concern and flattery, she was taken aback for a moment before she realized: Nangong Junyan missed the appointment, Qin Rui must feel that he didn't pay enough attention to her, that way , Xie Shaojun will have a chance.

That's why it was rare for Qin Rui to show some sincerity towards Xia Yuan.

After thinking about this, Xia Yuan thought inwardly, and said to Qin Rui with a smile:

"I went outside for a walk just now, and saw that it was going to rain, so I hurried into the house."

"Let's eat then."

It was rare for Qin Rui to be gentle with Xia Yuan, and there was a trace of warmth in her eyes.

Xia Yuan nodded, and sat down at the dining table calmly. Both her father and Xia Qian were already seated, but there was one Xie Shaojun missing.

"Where's brother?"

Xia Yuan asked strangely.

"I don't know. I called his cell phone just now and didn't answer it. Let's not wait for him. I'm starving."

Xia Qian said presumptuously.

Xia Zhaoyang frowned slightly, feeling that the second daughter seemed a little abnormal recently, compared with the eldest daughter, she seemed to be a little less well-bred.It's time to talk to Qin Rui and let her take care of her, otherwise, when she gets married, her husband's family will complain about not having a tutor.

In fact, Xia Qian has not changed, she was just as domineering before.

What changed was Xia Yuan.

In the past, when Xia Yuan was being bullied by Xia Qian, she always cowered and felt inferior, and hid shyly to the side, which was out of tune with the atmosphere at home.Therefore, what dazzled Xia Zhaoyang was the eldest daughter who was not confident.

Compared with the unconfident Xia Yuan, Xia Qian, who is high-spirited and thorny, is obviously much more pleasing to the eye.

But now, with Xia Yuan's self-confidence and her ability to advance and retreat, coupled with Xia Qian's repeated behaviors caused by arrogance and jealousy, it is naturally clear at a glance who looks more pleasing to the eye.

With a "bang", the door of the living room opened, and the door of the dining room was facing the living room. When they heard the sound, everyone looked up in surprise.

The servant would not make such a loud noise, only Xie Shaojun.

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Yuan raised her head, she saw Xie Shaojun staggering in, staggering and staggering, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.

"What's wrong? Shaojun?"

Qin Rui exclaimed, stood up from the dining table, and ran towards Xie Shaojun.

"It's nothing, I accidentally fell on the road."

Xie Shaojun pushed away the exclaiming mother, raised his eyes just in time to see Xia Yuan looking at him, and couldn't help shrinking his eyes back.

Xia Yuan was also very surprised, because Xie Shaojun's face was bruised and purple, the skin on his forehead was torn, and there were a few bloodstains on his face.

"Why are you hurt so badly? Go to the hospital quickly." Xia Zhaoyang exclaimed.

It was only now that Xia Yuan saw that the corner of Xie Shaojun's mouth was also split, and there was still a trace of blood.The overall image looks really scary, no wonder Xia Zhaoyang exclaimed.

"It's okay, no need, it's just a skin trauma."

Xie Shaojun waved his hands vigorously with dark circles under his eyes.

"Come on, come on, get some cotton wine, Yunnan Baiyao."

Qin Rui exclaimed, knowing that there must be a reason for her son's refusal to go to the hospital.

Xia Zhaoyang frowned, he could tell that Xie Shaojun's injuries were obviously not as simple as a fall, but he refused to go to the hospital, and Xia Zhaoyang couldn't force it.

Tang Tian went to eat alone at night because Xia Yuan went home.Too lazy to go too far, Tang Tian randomly found a restaurant near Times Square.

Just as she sat down and ordered food, Tang Tian suddenly saw Nangong Junyan come in with a woman in his arms.

Tang Tian wished she was blind at this moment, because the woman in Nangong Junyan's arms was not Xia Yuan.
