Xiao Linger single-handedly drove away Mrs. Yuanwai.

This not only surprised Mrs. Xiao, but also comforted the grandmother who watched her grow up:

"The eldest lady is really powerful. She looked very majestic in her tit-for-tat confrontation with Mrs. Yuanwai just now. In the future, our Xiao family will no longer be afraid of such rogue people."

Xiao Ling'er arched her mother's arms a few times, acting coquettishly and coquettishly. Where could the word "mighty" from her mother's mouth be included?

"Mom... these are what Sister Xu taught me. She said that compared to Mom, you are worried about how this will affect my father's official reputation. In fact, you are more worried about Yuanwai's family... because if this matter gets serious, it will definitely affect their move in. Among the eight alleys of the capital. As long as you show your strength, the wife of the foreign minister will definitely retreat immediately. "

"The county master is our family's benefactor." Mrs. Xiao sighed.

Xiao Ling'er nodded and continued: "But this matter is not over yet. When dad comes next, we still have to discuss the matter of reporting to the official. After all, there are many people in Beijing who have been deceived like the wives of Yuanwai. The reporter can not only prevent the second uncle's family from going unpunished, but also let colleagues in Beijing know that my father has nothing to do with this matter."

"It's just the clan..." Mrs. Xiao sighed again.

Thinking of the clan's reaction to this matter, Mrs. Xiao was angry and sighed.

Although Xiao Pingyang was transferred to the capital as an official, he had not been in office for more than a year after all. If there was any commotion in the clan... his official career would probably be implicated by this matter.

She touched her daughter's head: "Jingzhong has not yet established a firm foothold. If we offend the clan again, it will not be a good thing for your father."

Xiao Ling'er buried her head in her mother's arms: "But can't you see clearly the clan's attitude towards this matter? They clearly want to protect the second uncle, so it can be seen that the clan must get a share of the money that the second uncle deceived. Quite a bit! Such a family will definitely become a burden to my father in the future, so it is better to use this matter to separate the family completely to avoid future risks."

"As for the rest... During those years when Dad was out in the country, people praised him everywhere he went. His integrity as an official was also well-known. In the current situation, it would be better for Dad to explain clearly to his superiors who's house is not in trouble. What's on your mind?"

Mrs. Xiao looked at the little girl in her arms in surprise: "These are also yours, the county bishop?"

Xiao Ling'er nodded: "That's right. The county leader said that today's capital, from the princes to the minister, every family is in chaos. Compared with theirs, my family's affairs are not enough... Let mother not worry."

"This county master... really dares to say that." Grandma couldn't help laughing at the side.

Mrs. Xiao held her daughter in her arms and subconsciously recalled what happened in Shaohua Nunnery last year.

Xu Liu wanted to plot against Xu Rongrong, who had not yet been named the county head, and wanted to use Changxing Hou Shizi to ruin her reputation.As a result, the person who was caught and raped in bed turned out to be Xu Liu's personal maid...

The Xu Liu family was deceived and directly accused Xu Rongrong of plotting against Chang Xinghou Crown Prince. At that time, Xu Rongrong was helpless and had no choice but to stand up and testify for her.

But now that I think about it, with Xu Rongrong's scheming and planning, she could have gotten out of trouble even without herself at the time, right?

Looking back on that incident, the Changxing Hou Mansion fell, and the Xu Liu family disappeared in the capital...

At first, I breathed a sigh of relief for Xu Rongrong, but looking at what happened today, it seemed like... was there no plot on her part?

A cold feeling surged directly from the bottom of Mrs. Xiao's heart.

Fortunately... the Xiao Mansion has never been an enemy of the county lord.

Naturally, Xiao Ling'er had no way of knowing what her mother was thinking. She stuck her head out and asked, "Mom, you just said that Sister Xu is our benefactor, so should we prepare a thank-you gift for her?"

Xiao Ling'er's words instantly brought Mrs. Xiao back to reality. Looking at her daughter who had no scheming in her arms, she didn't know whether to tell her daughter to stay away from the county master or to continue to be close to him.

She looked at her daughter's shining eyes and suddenly figured out one thing: No matter what the county master's thoughts were, she was sincere towards Ling'er. In this case, why should she block the relationship between the girls?She wanted to help her husband gain a foothold in the capital and move among powerful women, but what would be the result?The people she has made friends with from her perspective are not even as good as her 11-year-old daughter's only friend...

Thinking of this, she smiled slightly: "Your sister Xu is now the head of the county, and you are protected by the Marquis, so you must have everything. But seeing that the wedding is coming, if you want to thank her, you might as well do some embroidery Give it to her to express your feelings."

"Mom is right! My daughter is going now!" After saying that, she got up from Mrs. Xiao's arms, picked up her skirt and ran out.

While running, he shouted: "Bring me the embroidery fabric quickly, and the silver thread you brought from Jiangnan earlier, and bring them all to my room."

Seeing her daughter's angry appearance, Mrs. Xiao sighed: "This girl..."

After saying that, she told her mother: "I remember there is a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in the warehouse. You can wrap it up for me and send it to Zhuxiang Yayuan along with Ling'er's embroidery in two days."

"Huh? Isn't the embroidery made by the eldest lady not enough?" Mammy asked puzzledly. Madam Cai just now clearly told the eldest lady that the most important thing is your heart.

Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "You know Ling'er's craftsmanship. She can only express her heart. It is appropriate to send her to the County Lord in her capacity. But today the County Lord has solved a dilemma in our Xiao Mansion. It also made me know that one cannot enter the circle of nobles in the capital just by deliberately making friends... She is willing to help, and we must not be ignorant. After much thought, only that Ganoderma lucidum is the most suitable."

"But... that's a top quality." Mammy took a deep breath, "Not to mention that it's in our house, it's probably the only one in the entire capital."

"It's really because of the exquisite products that our intentions can be better reflected." Mrs. Xiao smiled, "otherwise, do you think there is anything else in our house that can be used in front of the county lord?"

……

Mu Rong already knew the battle situation in front of Xiao Mansion today.

"I didn't expect that Miss Xiao's childish look could actually make Mrs. Yuanwai escape." After describing the scene during the day, Mu Lu did not forget to click his tongue in admiration.

Mu Rong raised his eyes and said, "As you said, they stayed in the teahouse all afternoon yesterday and naturally deduced today's events in detail."

"No wonder it's like this." Mu Lu glanced at his Marquis with some distress.

Miss Xu has never spent so much thought on Mr. Hou. Let alone trying to save Mr. Hou, even if she spends some time calculating against Mr. Hou, she probably won't...

Hey!

There is really no comparison between people.

Seeing that the wedding was approaching, Miss Xu's thoughts seemed to be the same as before.

I have time to sit in the tea room and analyze the situation for others for a long time, but I don’t have time to embroider the wedding dress...

He found out clearly that Miss Xu even purchased the hipa from Yangji Cloth Store!

I really haven’t touched a single embroidery thread!
