It was early in the morning. If his personal servant girl went out and wandered around, it would be suspicious if someone saw her. It would not be good if someone used an excuse to spread rumors.
Jin Niang also somewhat understood and nodded with a red face.
Xiao Ling was relieved. He glanced at the sky outside the window and muttered softly,""Wash up. Otherwise, it'll be too late and we won't be able to pay our respects.”
When Jin Niang heard this, she immediately went to get the smoked clothes.
However, the door suddenly opened. Su Yan was going to get the ginseng soup, but she came back empty-handed. She had a grumbling expression on her face. When she saw Xiao Ling, she walked over without paying her respects and was about to complain.
When Jin Niang saw this, she frowned. When could she change her temper without makeup? If he was so rash, what would happen if he brought trouble to Young Lady?
Xiao Ling looked up and waved his hand gently.
His posture was indifferent, but an imposing aura pressed down.
Su Yan paused for a moment and did not say anything. She waited until Xiao Ling had Jinniang put on her clothes before turning to Su Yan."What is it?"
She had always been a hot-tempered person without makeup, but she still knew her limits. She must have been angry to be so rash.
Seeing that the girl had spoken, Su Yan could not help but stomp her feet and gnash her teeth.
Xiao Ling gradually understood after listening to some of it.
She had gone out without makeup to make a bowl of ginseng soup for herself. She should have taken it away, but it was taken away by Fifth Young Lady's personal servant girl.
Su Yan couldn't take it anymore and argued with the servant girl. However, the servant girl was also a shrew. In the end, she was in the wrong and didn't say anything. She pointed at Su Yan and started scolding,"She's just someone who's not favored. So what if she steals your bowl of soup? Our lady doesn't care about this bowl of soup!”
Then, the servant girl threw the bowl of soup on the floor and turned to leave.
At the end of her sentence, her bare-faced expression changed."Miss, what are you talking about? Such a heartless and filthy language, he really thought that the girl was easy to bully!”
Jinniang glanced at Xiao Ling worriedly.
They also knew the servant girl by Fifth Young Lady's side. From what Su Yan said, it was probably that girl called Lian Cui. She was a crisp and lively girl, but she was also very unruly. Fifth Young Lady liked her very much, so she became spoiled. It was said that she was also a servant girl by Eldest Lady's side. If Young Lady wanted to punish her, it would be difficult.
"Young lady." Jin Niang frowned and said,"This servant thinks that this matter should be discussed with Fifth Young Lady."”
Although this servant girl had gone overboard, she still had to weigh her options.
"What's the use of discussing with Fifth Young Lady?" Fifth Young Lady is probably someone who protects her children, perhaps…"
"Alright." At that moment, Xiao Ling stood up and glanced at his bare face.""Come with me to Xiao Xun's sister's mansion.”
Her bare-faced face was filled with joy as she responded happily.
"Miss…" Jin Niang was still hesitant.
Xiao Ling did not say anything.
Jin Niang was loyal to her and was also a meticulous person. However, she was always so weak that she could only be stepped on by others.
If she were to endure it like this, not to mention how Miss Chen would look at her, those servant maids and old women would probably look down on her. Moreover, the servant maids of the Xiao residence were all quick-witted. This matter had spread to the ears of countless people. If she did not have a good attitude first, she was afraid that she would be poked in the back.
Had she ever been willing to be cheap?
Moreover, she had always been a flamboyant person. Even if she restrained herself, she would not be like this.
He stepped on the thin snow all the way, and the snowflakes scattered all around him. When Xiao Ling arrived at the fifth lady's courtyard, the maidservants around him looked at them strangely.
"Why is sister here?"
Xiao Xun came in from the door with a fake smile, but she was still very polite.
"Can't Big Sister come and catch up with Little Sister?”Xiao Ling smiled as well. He stood by the fire and smoked his body before walking over."I haven't seen little sister for a long time and I've missed her.”
Xiao Xun was stunned for a moment when she heard that, but she quickly reacted. She only smiled at Xiao Ling, but the confusion in her eyes could not be concealed.
Ever since she returned from the banquet, she had noticed that Xiao Ling was different. She signaled her servant maids to cause some trouble, as if she had seen Xiao Ling stomping his feet in anger. However, it seemed that this was not the case.
"What are you talking about, sister? Younger sister misses sister very much.”Xiao Xun laughed as well. She took Xiao Ling's hand and brought him into the house, pretending to be intimate.""Sister, have a cup of ginseng tea to warm your body.”
Xiao Xun, who was following behind, could not help but raise her eyebrows. Xiao Xun had several cups of ginseng tea here. Why did she have to snatch the girl's cup?
"Although ginseng tea is good, drinking too much is also..."
Xiao Ling smiled. He picked up the cup and took a sip, but his fingers froze.
Xiao Xun smiled smugly when she saw that Xiao Ling's expression was not right. She thought that the ginseng soup had provoked him.
Xiao Ling did not say anything. He just waved his hand. Jinniang and Suyan exchanged a glance, and the two of them quietly left. Seeing Xiao Ling's action, Xiao Xun froze for a moment before raising her hand to dismiss her two servant girls.
"Sister, is there something you need?" Xiao Xun stared at Xiao Ling.
"Who has Younger Sister offended recently?”Xiao Ling also looked at Xiao Xun. He frowned and smiled."There's something wrong with this ginseng tea.”
In her previous life, she was weak and sickly, but everyone in this residence wanted to harm her. It was even more so when she came to the Han residence. She might as well secretly learn some medical skills and identify some medicinal herbs. Although she was not very good at it, she could still be of some use.
Xiao Xun's ginseng soup had been spiked with the medicine of tigers and wolves!
Xiao Ling's mind spun again. The maids around Xiao Xun were all sent over by Lady Wang, so it was most likely those maids. However, Xiao Xun had always been a good catch in the eyes of Miss Chen, so why would Miss Chen do this?
"What does elder sister mean?" Xiao Xun was also a little stunned. However, when she saw Xiao Ling approaching her mysteriously, she quietly moved closer.
However, Xiao Xun's face turned pale when she heard Xiao Ling's whispers.
Xiao Xun sat in her seat in a daze. She almost lost her grip on the teacup. The ginseng soup in her hand scalded her fingers and she woke up in a daze.
"Younger Sister, don't you think it's necessary to send this little girl here?”
Xiao Ling looked at her and only smiled.
Xiao Xun's face was pale, but she forced herself to calm down. She regained her composure and called out to the girl outside,""He Hua, go and call Lian Crisp over!"
After a while, a servant girl was brought over.
"This servant greets Young Lady."
After bowing to Xiao Xun, Lian Cui stood up again, as if she did not take Xiao Ling seriously.
Xiao Ling's expression was indifferent as if he did not see it. He sniffed the ginseng tea in his hand indifferently and did not drink it.
When Lian Cui saw this, her heart calmed down. She was still a little flustered when Xiao Ling came to the fifth lady's courtyard with such great fanfare.
However, this Sugarcane Girl was Sugarcane Girl. How could she have the prestige of her master? She was given to Fifth Young Lady by Madam. If she wanted to deal with it, not only would she have to go through Fifth Young Lady, but if this cane girl really wanted to deal with her, she would have to think carefully!
If he offended Fifth Young Lady and Furen, he would not have a good life in the future!
Xiao Xun, who was standing at the side, was feeling anxious. However, she was suddenly jolted awake when the words reached her mouth. Why was she so impatient?!
How could he do such a thing in front of Xiao Ling?
At that moment, the servant girl was looking around at ease and sizing up Xiao Ling unscrupulously.
After a while, when the servant girl was completely unconcerned, Xiao Ling suddenly looked up.
The maidservant was looking at Xiao Ling calmly, but when she saw him looking up, she did not hide. She just looked up at him.
"Did you say those words to my servant girl today?" Xiao Ling looked at her without batting an eyelid.”
The maidservant's heart tightened, but seeing that Xiao Ling had no intention of blaming her, and that her lady was still by his side, and that it was her who had instructed him to do so, she grew bolder.""This servant indeed said these words, could it be that this servant was wrong?”
The last sentence was directed at Xiao Xun.
Xiao Xun's face turned cold. She remembered that this girl had brought the ginseng soup for her, but there was something extra in it. Besides, Xiao Ling did not need to talk to her like that, so she did not look happy.
Seeing Xiao Ling smiling, the servant girl thought that the Fifth Lady's expression was meant for Xiao Ling, so she admitted,""This servant doesn't think this servant is wrong."
There was no need to hide it. He knew it anyway.
Xiao Ling did not say anything, but Xiao Xun's face turned cold.""Men!"
A few sturdy old women walked in from outside.
"Take her away and lock her in the woodshed. No one is allowed to approach her!”
The old maids looked at each other and were puzzled. They didn't know if the young lady was putting on an act. Everyone knew that Xiao Xun liked to be crisp. Why was she so strict in front of the third young lady?
Lian Cui was also a little silly as she looked up.
"Hurry up and lock him up!" Xiao Xun slammed the table hard.
The maids were a little flustered. They gritted their teeth and took the crispy food down.
Lian Cui panicked, but before he could scream, the old woman covered his mouth and brought him out.
Early in the morning, Miss Chen was leaning on her bed and drinking a bowl of ginseng soup when she heard a report from outside."Furen, Third Young Lady and Fifth Young Lady request an audience.”
Miss Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Xiao Xun and Xiao Ling had never gotten along. Xiao Xun had been taught by her, and she had also made many obstacles in the dark. Why was she doing this today?
"Let them in." Miss Chen said to the little girl as she handed the ginseng soup to Granny Wang behind her.
After a while, Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun followed the servant girl.
"Why did the two of you come together today?”Miss Chen looked over with a smile, but her eyes were shining.
"Greetings, Mother." " Mother," Xiao Ling bowed respectfully to Miss Chen." I just have something to ask my sister."”
