The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

The study instantly became silent.

Did this person really not hear the words "li" or did he deliberately pretend not to hear?

Xue Mingyue had a stinky face. After his interruption, it was hard to continue talking about Heli.

She was too lazy to think about it and retorted: "One person's affection cannot be given to two people. If Mr. Hou said such words to me here, if it accidentally reaches Miss Bai's ears, maybe it will be Hou who will do the harm next time. It’s you.”

The whole expression gives people the impression of four words in capital letters - 'I don't care'.

Xie Lang knew that she was very angry, but he didn't expect that she could say such arrogant words at this time.

However, it would be better than treating him coldly.

Xie Lang slightly curved the corners of his lips and said, "My servant, I have already beaten it. No one will leak out what happened in the courtyard, and there will be no third party in what we said between you and me." Personal knowledge.”

"As for Bai Zhenzhen, she will always be the cousin of Dingyuan Houfu."

When he mentioned her, Xie Lang's tone softened.

Yes, in the last life, it was this cousin who finally took all the money in the accounts of the Hou Mansion and ran away.

When Xue Mingyue heard the words, she twitched the corner of her lips sarcastically. She didn't say whether she believed it or not, but only gave a perfunctory salute: "I am not feeling well. If the Marquis has nothing else to say, I will go back to the house to rest first."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for him to speak.

"..." Xie Lang laughed dumbly, shook his head, took out the hosta that was broken into two pieces from his sleeve, and threw it into the basket on the side. The things that were not sent out were no different from garbage.

Wu Ye happened to see this scene when he came in from the door, and his heart skipped a beat:

Isn't this the hairpin that Mr. Hou carefully selected at the jewelry store this morning?

Is it possible that Madam doesn’t like it?

Xie Lang opened his eyes and glanced over: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, it's people from the Bai family who are here."

……

Xue Mingyue didn't take the conversation in the study seriously.

After returning to the house, Liu Yun asked Liu Yun to take out the pre-arranged cut booklet. Liu Xing stood aside and polished it. She picked up a pen and slowly wrote down the important things that happened in her previous life, including the comparisons about this year's things. Be more detailed.

But she mostly listened to what others said.

She was detained in the Hou Mansion by Xie Lang for half a year because of the walnut powder incident, and was not released until New Year's Eve was approaching. She did not go to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet at that time, but she heard that His Majesty was very fond of Xie Lang.

Thinking of this, Xue Mingyue's eyes paused slightly, lowered her head and wrote a few words about the royal family in a vague way.

Liu Xing glanced curiously: "Miss, what are you writing?"

I saw a row of 'two three four five' written at the top, and then there were some incomprehensible things below.

"nothing."

Xue Mingyue shook her head, and then she heard a maid coming from outside to report that someone from Jinlu Pavilion was here.

She immediately put the pamphlet away.

Jinlu Pavilion is the best ready-made clothing store in Yongji City. Ladies and ladies from all families are proud to wear the clothes of Jinlu Pavilion. Whenever they attend banquets and other occasions, they will buy the latest clothes. Fashionable style.

A set of clothes costs at least a hundred taels of silver.

Calling the tailor from Jinlu Pavilion directly to your home to tailor the clothes would probably cost you a lot more money.

Xue Mingyue had lived two lives and only bought two or three sets of clothes to show her face when she got married. Naturally, the step-in-law her father married would not spend money on her. Those few sets were still for the sake of the Hou Mansion. On the face of.

The tailor who came this time was a skilled and skilled lady.

After measuring the size in just a few clicks, she said with a smile: "Madam, you are so lucky. This is the first time in my life that I have seen a husband who cares about his wife so much. The Marquis said that it will be cold recently, and he wants our shop." Keep it tight and make some clothes for you, madam."

Does this count as caring?

Xue Mingyue casually glanced at the plates held in the hands of the accompanying women. They were all filled with precious silks and satins such as cloud brocade, tuanwu brocade, and floating brocade. She pulled her lower lip and quickly looked away. .

Rather than saying that Xie Lang cared about her, it was better to say that he cared about this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

After all, she had never enjoyed this kind of treatment in her previous life.

Seeing that Xue Mingyue didn't seem to be in high spirits, Liu Yun personally sent all these people out of the house after they finished measuring. When he came back, he vaguely heard noise coming from the front yard. After thinking about it for a while, he stopped a boy and asked:

"But the Marquis is entertaining guests in the front yard?"

The young man recognized her as the maid beside the madam, and quickly said with an apologetic smile: "The cousin's family came here specially to ask to see the Marquis. The Marquis was busy with other things, so he kept them waiting for half an hour. There is a commotion going on right now. .”

People from the Bai family?

Liu Yun's face condensed slightly, and he knew without thinking that they were here because of what happened yesterday.

She hurriedly glanced at the front yard, then hurried back to Mu Qingyuan to inform Xue Mingyue about the matter, and said nervously: "Miss, they must have come to complain. Should we go to the front yard to take a look?"

Xue Mingyue ate the tea calmly: "No need, they can't get anything good."

If there is anything in the Hou Mansion that she has always remembered, this cheese snowflake tea must have a place. Now when she drinks it, the tea still tastes the same, but her state of mind is completely different from before.

Liu Xing blinked blankly: "Why are you so sure, Miss?"

A light smile broke out on Xue Mingyue's lips and she bent her eyes.

"After Bai Zhenzhen and I fell into the water and were rescued, we asked Grandma Wang to seal off the entire Hou Mansion on the pretext that there was a ghost in the house. People inside the house could not get out, and people outside naturally could not know the situation inside the house. , then how did the Bai family know?"

There is only one answer in front of you: the Bai family placed people in the Hou Mansion to control the movements of the Hou Mansion.

When they came to the door openly and openly, they had accomplished this matter.

The servants in the palace have different intentions. Today they are leaking trivial matters. Who knows if they will leak any secrets in the future? Xie Lang is not stupid. He knows that there are people coveting the Hou Mansion but still wants to show them a good look.

After hearing this, the two maids suddenly realized.

Xue Mingyue bent her knuckles and rapped on the table a few times, and said quietly: "Didn't you notice that there are fewer people in the house today?"

...

In the front yard, Xie Lang was sitting in the main seat wearing black uniform, his eyes were half closed, and he was playing with a short dart between his two fingers.

Even though he didn't say even half a word, his aura of killing countless people could not be ignored by others. A general who held a high position all year round and fought on the battlefield gave people a strong sense of oppression with every move he made, and his whole body was filled with viciousness. fear.

The Bai family brother who originally shouted the loudest was silent now.

The people who came to the Hou Mansion this time were Bai Zhenzhen's two cousins. They were both in their twenties and only relied on the protection of their ancestors to get an eighth-grade official position as the head of the household department. At this time, there was a chill on the spine and forehead. Cold sweat.

Xie Lang opened his eyes and looked at the two of them calmly.

He raised his lips with a half-smile and said, "Why don't you two say anything? I'm really curious about how you know about the private affairs that happened among the princes? Could it be that you two also have the power to reach the sky and be able to know the world's affairs from home?"

The Bai family brother's face turned pale, and his two buttocks couldn't stop fighting.

I complained about Bai Zhenzhen all over my heart, and I didn't even know how to tell them about the blockade of the Hou Mansion.

There was a long silence in the front yard. Xie Lang's eyes grew colder and his expression was indescribably cold.

"Since the two of you have such talents, I can't bear to let them be buried. I will go to the palace later and recommend them to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will definitely be very happy and put them to great use."

The Bai brother was suddenly discouraged, sweating heavily, and his legs became weak and he fell from the chair to the ground.
