"What …" Auntie Xiao felt dizzy, her hands were supporting herself on the chair, "You … How did you become like this? Didn't I tell you to kneel? How did you get into an argument with her? "
Lian Shi Ya snatched the handkerchief that was used to wipe the water away and threw it on the ground. She said angrily, "It is already shameful enough that I knelt there for an entire night, and she even feigned to give me a cape, afraid that I would catch a cold. I was really furious at her."
"You've been tricked!" "Lian Si Yue must have seen through our scheme, so she intentionally angered you, making you angry. But who would have thought that you would actually fall for it, and even be seen by your father, and that you were kneeling for nothing tonight."
Hearing Auntie Xiao's words, Lian Shi Ya came back to reality, only then did she realize that she had been tricked. She said in a huff, "I've knelt for an entire night, tired and hungry, and I've long been impatient. This slut has only chosen to provoke me when my will is weak, only then have I been tricked.
Auntie Xiao sat down and sighed, "It's all my fault, I wasn't on guard enough. Ever since she came back, I realized that something was wrong with her, but I was tricked by her, and still underestimated her!"
"Then what do we do now? Father has banned my feet, and without his permission, I am not allowed to step out of Qing Quan Yuan Yuan's door. " Lian Shi Ya teared tears and said grievingly, "Aunt, quickly help me think of a way. I don't want to be grounded, I don't want to see Lian Si Yue's proud look, I really can't take this lying down."
Auntie Xiao's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of malice, her hands tightly gripped the chair, and said, "In the past, I was too lenient, and did not harden my heart to get rid of this mother and daughter pair earlier, which led to today's situation."
"There's still time." Lian Shi Ya walked in front of Auntie Xiao and squatted down, then raised her head and looked at her, "Aunt, you said before, you would replace mother. I will replace Lian Si Yue, but now everything has changed.
Auntie Xiao held Lian Shi Ya's cold face with both hands and said gently, "Ya Er, don't worry, I've already swallowed this breath for fifteen years. I'm not in a rush either. Fortunately, I still have the real power in my hands. I need to think carefully about how to arrange this. However... You must promise me, in the future, Lian Si Yue will anger you again, you must not fall for it again, don't you understand? "
"Hm!" "I know, Aunt, I won't do it again." Lian Shi Ya said while wiping her tears.
The Auntie Xiao caressed Lian Shi Ya's head, her eyes revealing a trace of dark cold.
Lian Si Yue, oh Lian Si Yue, you are the one who thinks your life is too long.
"Someone, I'm going to the study room."
In Lian Yan Qing's study, she was sitting in front of a table and reviewing documents. The current situation of the imperial court was not clear, so as an official, he had to review the situation.
After reviewing a few of the documents, he habitually reached for the teapot and shook it to discover that it was empty.
"Old master, the tea is here..." When Lian Yan Qing raised her head, she saw Auntie Xiao walking in with a pot of tea in her hands. Her face was pale as paper, and she was wearing a fox fur jacket embroidered with red flowers, the color of cherry grass in a group, her black hair tied into a bun, and her head was tied up into a bun.
Seeing her, Lian Yan Qing put down his official business and remained silent with a cold face.
Auntie Xiao walked to his side in silence, she lowered her head and poured the tea in her hand into the jar beside him. The fragrance of the tea floated out from the teapot, it was Lian Yan Qing's favorite smell.
He reached for the tea and put it to his lips.
At this time, Auntie Xiao's knees suddenly bent as she kneeled on the ground. She raised her teary eyes to look at him and said, "Master, do you not want me and Third Miss anymore?"
Lian Yan Qing looked at her pitiful appearance and said, "You have always been gentle, gentle, and kind, but my heart. I never thought that you would hide such evil intentions and use such a malicious method to frame Yue'er, you have truly disappointed me."
"Master..." Auntie Xiao crawled a few steps forward on her knees, her hand tightly held onto Lian Yan Qing's clothes as she cried, "I have followed you for so many years, don't you understand what kind of person I am? I have always been full of gratitude towards the Madame, and always told her that the Eldest Miss was the direct descendent. I always told the Third Miss that she was the first one to lead the way, and you have all seen what I have done all these years.
Lian Yan Qing pursed her lips and did not speak, and continued to drink her tea.
Auntie Xiao's face revealed a bitter smile, she silently wiped away her tears, then stood up and said, "I know there's no use in saying anything now, so I won't disturb old master, I'll be leaving first, I'll be more diligent in my service for now."
With a pale face, she turned around and walked outside step by step while trembling. Suddenly, she stumbled and fell forward.
"Xian Min …" Lian Yan Qing rushed over quickly and wrapped her arms around before she could fall to the ground. Immediately, Auntie Xiao extended her arms around Lian Yan Qing's neck and placed her warm and fragrant body into his embrace, then looked at him pitifully and said — —
"Oh, the old master is still concerned about me. Please don't ignore me..." She hugged him tightly and breathed out in an orchid breath as she looked at the man before her with her beautiful, misty eyes.
Her weak body leaned against his, and his face was tense as he looked at the pitiful girl in front of him. Her face was pale, with droplets of water on her eyelashes.
Thinking about it, she was originally a high-spirited direct descendant of Xiao Guofeng, born in a noble family. Back then, his Madame had already arranged a marriage for her, although her position was not as high as his, she was still a proper wife.
However, she said that the person she adored was him. She could only blame herself for coming too late. She didn't care about the title of main wife. As long as she could accompany him, she could even be a maid.
The Xiao Xian Min at that time was even more beautiful than she was now. From the man's point of view, it was as if a pure and flawless pearl had accidentally fell into the dust.
