Xiao Ling shook his head. He could not continue sleeping. It would be impolite for her to continue sleeping since Grand Master Xiao and the two old ladies valued it so much.
Her bare face helped Xiao Ling rest.
Xiao Ling, on the other hand, instructed his bare-faced face to hang a plaque for Jinniang and call for a doctor. Jinniang rarely did not come to serve for such a long time. She must be seriously ill.
Xiao Ling noted down her bare face and thought about what happened yesterday.
Seeing Xiao Qing and Xiao Yu's expressions yesterday, both of them seemed to be jealous but didn't say anything. It seemed that these two would continue to make things difficult for him in the future.
Xiao Qing was still alright. She was the eldest daughter of the Di family. She wouldn't be able to shake her, so she wouldn't care too much. However, she didn't know what would happen to Xiao Yu.
She knew her own methods, but she had always been sensible in the residence and was quite scheming. These things had to be taken slowly in the future.
Miss Chen was not someone who trusted others easily. If the two of them fought among themselves, he would be free.
"Young lady."
At that moment, the bare-faced girl called out softly.
Xiao Ling came back to his senses and looked at himself in the bronze mirror. His makeup was good, so he nodded and stood up." Let's go."”
The general's manor was not very close to the Xiao manor. Xiao Ling had made preparations to be quick. Moreover, he had to pay his respects to the two madams.
Although it was a little early, the two madams usually woke up early, so they did not blame him. Because Xiao Ling was going out later, Su Yan followed him. After all, she was his personal maid, and the new Mingyue had to follow him. However, she did not know Xiao Ling's temper at the moment, so she seemed restrained.
Since he was going out soon, Xiao Ling quickened his pace and shortened the journey. When he reached the door, she smiled even more warmly before stepping in.
Sure enough, a moment later, the servant girl brought her in.
The weather was getting warmer and warmer. The spring atmosphere was lackadaisical. Xiao Ling wore a light pink dress that was not flashy but warm. Apart from the jewelry that Grand Elder Xiao had sent, he also brought a small sachet. He looked fresh and elegant, which pleased the Second Grandmother.
"Are you done packing?" The Second Old Mistress asked the servant maids to serve tea.
Xiao Ling declined." I'm ready. I'm just about to set off. I'm afraid I'll cause trouble if I'm too late."”
The Second Old Mistress looked at the sky and nodded.""Is the gift ready?"
The Second Grandmother nodded and motioned for Xiao Ling to leave.
Xiao Ling bowed and turned to leave.
However, when Xiao Ling walked out of the door, he brushed past Xiao Feng, who had come in to pay her respects.
Xiao Ling was a little surprised, but he managed to calm himself down. He wondered why Xiao Feng did not wait for the servant girl to inform him. However, before she could think about it, she had already turned around and left.
After Xiao Ling left, Xiao Feng stood still in the room.
Xiao Feng had always been favored. Not only did the Eldest Mistress like her, but the Second Grandmother also doted on her, so she rushed over unscrupulously. The Second Grandmother's expression turned solemn and she was a little dissatisfied.
"Second Grandmother is biased!" Xiao Feng's voice was very loud, and her eyes were red.
At this moment, Xiao Xun and Xiao Qing walked in from the door. They were not like Xiao Feng. They were waiting for the servant girl to summon them. However, when Xiao Feng rushed in, they felt like they were watching a good show, so they pretended to be worried and walked in.
The room suddenly became very quiet. Xiao Xun's light footsteps sounded like they were stepping on someone's heart. Seeing the tension in the room, she lowered her head and pretended not to see it.
The Second Old Mistress looked in Xiao Feng's direction.
Xiao Qing stood at the side, pretending that she couldn't see anything, but her eyes were filled with schadenfreude. Xiao Xun, on the other hand, pulled Xiao Feng's hand. When she turned to look at the Second Grandmother Qi, she still had a worried look on her face.
The Second Grandmother's expression turned cold, but there was no sign of anger. She only raised her voice."Is that so?"
Xiao Xun was secretly delighted when she heard this, but she still stood up and said,"" Second Old Mistress, you've misunderstood. When has Elder Sister ever-"
The Second Old Mistress looked over and Xiao Xun's words were stuck in her throat. She stood quietly at the side, not daring to say anything.
The Second Old Mistress's expression was so cold that it was as if she was angry.
Xiao Qing sneered at the side. She had seen everything from the beginning to the end. Xiao Xun seemed to be protecting Xiao Feng, but in fact, she had been trying to sow discord between Xiao Feng and Xiao Ling along the way. She had used the favor that Xiao Ling had received recently as an excuse to provoke Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng could not suppress her anger when Xiao Ling came out first. Even if she could suppress her anger, she was still angered by Xiao Xun's provocation.
It could be said that Xiao Feng would die sooner or later.
This good sister of hers was really as good as ever! He could only blame Xiao Feng for being a fool.
"I've been a grandmother for so many years, but this is the first time I've heard someone say that I'm biased.”The Second Old Mistress sneered at the front and slammed the walking stick in her hand on the ground."Tell me, who is biased?"
Even though Xiao Feng was extremely bold, she was still drenched in cold sweat.
The Second Old Mistress was furious.
However, Xiao Feng was unwilling to give up. She was extremely jealous, and her face was red as she straightened her neck and shouted,"Second grandmother is doting on Xiao Ling more and more. She doesn't even dote on me anymore. Father won't give me anything good!”
As she spoke, she was about to cry."She's still a sugar cane girl. Why is she comparable to a legitimate daughter?”
Hearing this, Xiao Qing's expression turned ugly, but she still suppressed her anger and didn't say anything.
"Father won't give it to you, and I won't dote on you either?" Second Old Mistress sneered.”
Coincidentally, the servant maids outside reported that the other young ladies and Eldest Mistress had arrived.
"Let First Madam come in and let her see her good daughter!”
After saying that, he turned to look at Xiao Feng." Your uncle brought you a good hairstyle last time. There's also the pink crystal I left for you, and that jade mirror. Aren't they all with you?”
They talked a lot until Miss Chen came in. The Second Old Mistress's expression was very ugly."Miss Chen, this is the good daughter you raised!”
Miss Chen's face was flushed red, and she looked at Xiao Feng with a reproachful gaze.
" Mother, Xiao Feng is still too young."
The Second Grandmother was not willing to listen." You've raised an ingrate for nothing. How dare you say that, Xiao Ling? If you were as capable as your third sister, you'd have so many good things!"”
His words were a little harsh.
Miss Chen's expression was even more unsightly. This was not only talking about Xiao Feng, but also slapping her face.
"Go back to your room and reflect on your mistakes. If you don't copy the Women's Commandments a hundred times, don't come out to see me!”The Second Grandmother's walking stick was about to hit Xiao Feng's face.
Xiao Feng lowered her head and followed a servant girl out with red eyes.
Xiao Xun then went to her grandmother to ask for a favor. After a few soft words, the Second Grandmother's expression became much better.
The atmosphere seemed to have come alive again, but First Madam's expression was not very good.
The carriage drove steadily on the street. It was still early, but some hawkers had already started to make preparations. The street was a little lively.
Granny Wang came up to him and handed him a cup of hot tea.
Xiao Ling accepted it and nodded with a smile.
Xiao Ling took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes slightly. He was a little surprised that Granny Wang was accompanying him on this trip.
Xiao Ling used to have a nanny, but the nanny had offended someone and was poisoned, causing her to die silently.
Of course, Xiao Ling would only understand these things in the future.
As for Granny Wang, she had followed him here to find out more about Xiao Ling's relationship with Tuoba Feng, as well as the truth.
However, she did not expect Granny Wang to be shocked the moment she got out of the car.
Xiao Ling was surprised when he came out, but he came down to greet him politely because Madam Tuoba was standing at the door and welcoming him with a smile.
Granny Wang was a little surprised that Madam had come out to welcome a junior.
In the blink of an eye, the lady had already pulled Xiao Ling in with a smile. She sounded very satisfied with Xiao Ling.
Granny Wang was waiting outside the courtyard. Xiao Ling had been brought in. She was just an old woman, so she probably did not have the fortune to do so.
Granny Wang had been waiting at the side door. It was noon, but Xiao Ling still did not come out. She sighed in her heart. The general's wife must have asked Xiao Ling to stay for lunch. She probably thought highly of Xiao Ling. After waiting for a while, someone suddenly came to the door.
It was actually a servant girl with a food box in her hand. When she saw Granny Wang, she only smiled."Nanny, your family's young lady asked our madam to bring this for you.”
With a smile on her face, Granny Wang took the food box and stuffed a silver ingot into the servant girl's hand."Thank you, Madam."
The servant girl declined and accepted it. However, she gave Granny Wang a meaningful look. Granny Wang was shocked for a moment, but she still smiled.
Just as she swallowed a mouthful of soup, Granny Wang felt her vision blur. She wanted to stand up, but her legs went soft and she fell hard into the side door.
The side door was very remote. Only the servant maids and old women were waiting there. Su Yan was chatting and laughing with the servant maids in the courtyard because of Xiao Ling. Granny Wang ignored her.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the footsteps of a servant girl suddenly came from outside.
The servant girl pushed open the door and saw the old lady lying on the ground. A scream broke the silence of the General's manor.
At that moment, Xiao Ling and Tuoba Feng were enjoying the flowers in the garden. The two girls were having a great time playing around. Xiao Ling had always liked girls who looked like Tuoba Feng, but Tuoba Feng had not had a friend in a long time, so he was a little careful with Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling did not mind. He thought that it would be fine after some time. After all, they were friends and would not hold a grudge over some mistakes.
Suddenly, a maidservant ran over and whispered something into Tuoba Feng's ear. Tuoba Feng's expression changed. Xiao Ling stood close enough to see that Tuoba Feng's face was pale.
