After Xi Chun finished speaking, she retreated to the side, looked at her with appreciation, then turned her head to look at Mrs. Cui.
"Looks like I'll have to wait a while longer before I get the tea that Mrs. Cui personally brewed for me."
Cui Cuicui laughed. She originally wanted to make tea for Li Qinglin to drink, and apologize to her.
She had never thought that the dignified county magistrate's house would be devoid of tea set. This was really …
She couldn't say anything if she was made to apologize like that to Li Qinglin.
Forget it, let's wait for the next time! The next time she posts, invite Li Qingling to her house, and personally make tea for her, while saying that she was sorry to her, she believed that Li Qinglin, who drank the tea she made, would not give her face.
Thinking about it, she stiffly changed the topic, asking Li Qingling if he wanted her to accompany him out for a stroll, to get familiar with the Ninghua County?
"When I'm free, we can go for a stroll together." Li Qingling did not reject Cui Cuicui's good intentions, "Yesterday, I went out for a stroll with Mrs. Hu, and got to know him better. Next time, I can go a little further."
Hearing that, the smile on Cui Cuicui's face stiffened, secretly regretting that Hu Juanjuan was too good at flattery, so she quickly climbed on top of Magistrate's Wife.
"Where did Mrs. Hu take you to play?" Where could she take Magistrate's Wife, that poor bastard, to play?
Li Qingling lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, and slowly drank a mouthful of tea. After putting the cup down, he asked Cui Cuicui, "Is there really a wolf in Ningxia?"
She immediately ignored Cui Cuicui's question from before.
Cui Cuicui knew that Li Qingling did not want to answer her question, so she clenched her teeth and swallowed down the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Madam, your manor is too close to the Ningxia.
"Thank you Mrs. Cui for your concern. We will strengthen our defense." Li Qingling was shocked, he did not think that there would be such a thing as a wolf pack going down the mountain to bite someone.
It looked like the back door of the house would have to be reinforced. They couldn't let their family be in danger.
When the topic was over, the atmosphere became quiet again.
Li Qingling did not make a sound, and continued to drink his tea, she couldn't wait for Cui Cuicui to leave, and stopped carrying the teacup.
It was so painful to hang out with people who weren't on the same side as him.
Cui Cuicui's temper was already bad, but being ignored by Li Qinglin like that, she became even more unhappy. She stood up suddenly, and forced out a smile, and told Li Qingling that she will be going first.
Li Qingling put down the cup, raised his head and nodded at her, telling her to take care.
With that said, they saw Nian Xia bringing Hu Juanjuan in.
This time, the two enemies met.
Cui Cuicui looked at Hu Juanjuan with a smile that was not really a smile, "Yo, what a coincidence! What's that in Mrs. Hu's hand? " A poor man is a poor man, how can he bring worthless vegetables and be so shameless as to knock on the door?
Hu Juanjuan shook the basket hard, and retorted with a smile, "Our Ma Family doesn't have the money of the He Family, and can't give Magistrate's Wife any big gifts, so we can only give him some vegetables grown at home, to show our sincerity." If she knew Cui Cuicui was here, she would have come over a bit later.
I really forgot to check the calendar when I went out.
This Cui Cuicui is also strange, why is she looking for Magistrate's Wife again?
He remembered that previously, Magistrate's Wife was just there to curry favor with Cui Cuicui, why would she need Cui Cuicui to come in?
It seemed that the background of the County Magistrate had made the He family fearful, and did not dare to be as arrogant as before.
As long as the four wealthy masters of the Ninghua County did not dare to make a move, they would have the chance to lead the citizens of the Ninghua County and live a good life.
When she thought about how the four tycoons who had been sucking in the blood of the common people would be suppressed by the County Magistrate, she felt a wave of excitement in her heart.
"The dishes served by the Mrs. Hu are very delicious and the children at home like them. Thank you very much." The smile on Li Qingling's face deepened, and he let Nian Xia take the basket in his hands, "Mrs. Hu, I went to take a look at the vegetable seed that you gave me today, and it just popped out of my mouth. I believe that it won't be long before I can eat the vegetables grown by my own clan."
Seeing that Li Qingling really liked the dishes she sent over, Mrs. Hu heaved a sigh of relief. "It's good that you guys like it, there's a lot of it at home, when I have time I'll bring some over for Madam."
Li Qingling thanked Mrs. Hu again. However, she would not let him suffer any losses.
Cui Cuicui held onto the kerchief tightly as she bid farewell to Li Qingling.
Li Qingling shot Xi Chun a glance and told her to send him off, and remember to return the gifts.
Cui Cuicui gave a big carriage full of gifts, which she took a look at, it was very valuable.
In order to prevent Liu Zhimo from giving his the reputation of corruption, she had to return these gifts.
Not a holiday? What gift?
When Cui Cuicui walked to the door and saw the guards carrying gifts to her horse carriage, she thought it was Li Qingling's return gift and didn't really look at it seriously.
"Madam …" The servant girl beside Cui Cuicui whispered into her ear.
She frowned and took a closer look. It was indeed the gift she had brought.
What does Li Qinglin mean by this? Wasn't her way of doing this was to slap her He family's face?
"Miss Xi Chun, what does Magistrate's Wife mean by this?" Cui Cuicui turned her head to look at Xi Chun, his face revealing an angry look.
Li Qingling had slapped her so hard onto the He family's face, wasn't he afraid that she would embarrass her?
Xi Chun smiled decently, "Mrs. Cui, I'm sorry, but my master has ordered me not to accept anyone's gift. It is not only for you, do not think too much about it." She also wanted to ask what was the meaning behind sending so many precious gifts? Did he want someone to pick on their master?
"Really? County Magistrate really doesn't allow Magistrate's Wife to receive gifts from others? "
"Mrs. Cui, are you suspecting that my wife is lying to you?"
Cui Cuicui looked at Xi Chun's smiling face and couldn't help but reach out to slap her.
There was indeed a type of owner, but there was also a type of dog.
How annoying.
"Only now did I see clearly how beautiful Miss Xi Chun is. I wonder if Magistrate's Wife has any plans for Miss Xi Chun?" If Xi Chun became the concubine of the County Magistrate, would she still think about Li Qingling this way?
Hearing that, Xi Chun's smile instantly disappeared, and she looked at Cui Cuicui with a gloomy expression, "There's no need for Mrs. Cui to worry about this, since Mrs. Cui is so free, she can help your sister by your side with her plans." Cui Cuicui's hand was reaching out to her wife's side too long.
Cui Cuicui covered her mouth and laughed, "Why are you angry, Miss Xi Chun? This lady just sees that Miss Xi Chun is so beautiful, she should be compatible with a good man, like the County Magistrate … "
"Mrs. Cui..." Xi Chun interrupted her words loudly. She stared at Cui Cuicui for a while, then laughed: "Mrs. Cui, don't you know?"
After being interrupted by a servant, Cui Cuicui's face turned ugly, "What should I know?"
"County Magistrate has sworn to the heavens that he will be a pair with my wife throughout his life. He will not have anyone else." The corner of Xi Chun's mouth slightly rose, "Who doesn't want to be a couple for life? I think that Mrs. Cui would like it a lot too right? " Unfortunately, Cui Cuicui was never able to be a couple for life, as she had several concubines in his life!
Cui Cuicui's face turned ashen. She glared hard at Xi Chun, if her eyes could kill, Xi Chun would have died countless times over.
"Miss Xi Chun is really eloquent."
"You flatter me. I can't compare to Mrs. Cui." Xi Chun smiled at Cui Cuicui, "I will pass on to my wife the words that Mrs. Cui has just said. Thank you for thinking for my wife's sake." With that, she slammed the door shut.
He truly did not know what it meant to stretch his hand so long. He was not afraid of being chopped off.
"Madam, this Magistrate's Wife doesn't even put you in his eyes, even a small servant by her side dares to be so arrogant." The servants by Mrs. Cui's side suppressed Xi Chun with their auras.
Cui Cuicui clenched her teeth, and then she turned and glared at the servant, "Shut up, let's go home." What in the world was she doing telling the truth in front of someone else's residence? Aren't you afraid of being overheard?
"What's wrong with you? Did the Mrs. Cui give you a hard time? " When Nian Xia saw Xi Chun's sullen face, she lightly touched her hands and asked softly.
She looked at Nian Xia who looked careless but was actually very meticulous. She thought for a moment, then asked Nian Xia a question in a small voice. Nian Xia, what plans do you have for the future? Do you want to get married?
Nian Xia looked at her strangely and asked her why she asked that.
"Nian Xia, the Madam has been so kind to us. We must repay the kindness we owe her, we cannot do anything that would let her down, understand?"
"Of course! Whoever dares to disappoint Madam, I will go all out against her. " Nian Xia waved his fist, he did not understand what Xi Chun meant.
Xi Chun laughed and shook her head, making her point.
After saying that, Nian Xia looked at her as if she had seen a ghost.
"Young Master is so fierce, how could I fall for you?" Every time she saw Young Master, she would be afraid to the point that her legs would go limp. "Besides, Young Master only has Miss in his heart. There will be no one else."
Young Master would only be gentle to his mistress and treat others …
Seeing that Nian Xia really didn't have that intention, Xi Chun finally calmed down.
She would not allow anyone to spoil the Lady's happiness.
Nian Xia sized Xi Chun up from head to toe, and said with furrowed brows: "Xi Chun, it can't be that you have thoughts that you shouldn't have towards our young master, right?"
"How is this possible?" Xi Chun knocked on Nian Xia's head, "Don't speak nonsense, let others misunderstand. My life was given to me by the Madam, I would never do something like betraying the Madam."
Nian Xia patted her chest with exaggeration, "It's good that it's not, it's good that it's not." She giggled and wrapped her arms around Xi Chun's neck. "Xi Chun, I've decided, if I can't find someone to marry to, I'll comb my hair, stay by Miss's side, and serve Miss for the rest of my life." She felt it was good to be by her side all her life. She was not in need of food or clothes, and she was living her life freely.
Xi Chun glanced at Nian Xia, and smiled to say that she thought the same.
