Xiang Rongcheng tapped her forehead with the fan in his hand, "Who told you to run so quickly? The girl at home doesn't know to be quiet. "
Hearing Xiang Rongcheng's pampered words, Xiang Rongqing's heart grew sweet as he complained, "How can this be my fault? Just now, that Shi Anran didn't seem to be interested in you, and now that she's dragged you into her courtyard, she must have had a bad heart. "
Although her voice was soft, but Xiang Rongcheng had been practicing martial arts since young and had a good hearing. When he heard what Xiang Rongqing said, his face immediately darkened: "Who did you hear that from? "Rong Qing, you are a girl, it's alright if I am your brother. If these words are heard by others, what will others say about you in the future?"
"Brother, didn't you tell me not to care about the opinions of others and to do what I can for myself?" Xiang Rongqing complained.
Xiang Rongcheng sighed somewhat helplessly, as he reached out to rub her forehead, "Rong Qing, you're a girl. You're almost at the age of marriage, not like the little girl from back then."
"Oh, I know." When it came to marriage, Xiang Rongqing appeared very cold on the surface, she could not refute it, she could only pretend not to hear it, but there was a knot in her heart that she could not shake off.
With regards to his little sister who had been sticking by his side since childhood, Xiang Rongcheng was also somewhat helpless. In the end, he could only shake his head and sit back down, nevermind, let her think it through himself. After all, it was impossible for him to accompany her for his entire life, so she had to learn and grow up.
In the past, when big brother saw her like this, he would definitely say a few soft words and apologize to her. However, today was not like before, Xiang Rongqing felt even more certain that Shi Anran had said something bad in her big brother's ear, which was why she treated her like this.
Thinking about it here, the dissatisfaction in his heart towards Shi Anran grew even more.
"Young Master Xiang, the dishes have been prepared. The young miss has asked this servant to invite you over." After receiving the instructions, Lian Xing walked in from outside the door. When she saw Xiang Rongqing, he was a little stunned, but she quickly calmed herself down, and said, "Miss Xiang, you should come with me. Just now, Miss had even instructed me to go to Jian Jia Courtyard to invite Miss Xiang over."
But after hearing Lian Xing's words, not only did Xiang Rongqing not appreciate it, she even snorted coldly twice. However, when they met with Xiang Rongcheng's somewhat disapproving gaze, they still did not say anything that made everyone feel embarrassed, and followed him towards the dining hall.
Seeing Xiang Rongqing's rare good behavior, Xiang Rongcheng also felt a bit gratified. He thought this kind of "cold" method was not bad, but he did not know that Xiang Rongqing had not seen Shi Anran for a while, so he suppressed the anger in his heart with great effort.
Before he even reached the dining hall, he smelt the fragrance that was assaulting his nose. Xiang Rongcheng pursed his lips, "There's really quite a few cooks in this courtyard."
"Big brother, it's still a bit early to say this. After all, a dish that requires a lot of taste and fragrance can only be considered good. It's just that the smell is not bad. We'll have to try it later, won't we?"
After hearing Xiang Rongqing's words, which were still aimed at him, Xiang Rongcheng could not scold him or scold him, he could only pretend that he did not hear anything. However, he still had to find out who instilled such thoughts into her sister's ears. He was obviously a very obedient child, but why was his entire body covered in thorns when he faced her unknown sister-in-law?
"Miss Rong Qing, Young Master Xiang, please come in, the two ladies are waiting for you inside."
Lian Xing had long heard that Xiang Rongqing was always targeting Shi Anran, but after seeing him today, she knew that it was more than just targeting him. She was also a little worried in her heart, what if the young miss really gets wronged after marrying her?
She was just a maid to begin with. If not for the young mistress' promotion, how could she have such a good day? Hence, he blindly worshipped Shi Anran. He felt that whoever liked their Young Miss was a good person and whatever she did was right.
After hearing Xiang Rongqing say that she despised the entire road, she more or less felt a little unhappy in her heart. But since the difference in status was this, it was fortunate that the distance to the dining hall was not that far, and would be reached in a short time. Lian Xing's tone of voice was not as respectful as it was in the beginning.
"Young Master Xiang, Miss Xiang." Seeing Xiang Rongcheng and his sister walk in, Shi Anran stood up, nodding slightly with a fake smile that resembled a mask, "Lunch is ready."
Seeing her current state, Xiang Rongcheng felt that the smile on her face was truly annoying. Frowning, he looked at her but did not say a word.
Shi Anran felt that his current appearance was somewhat funny and looked at him with interest.
"Big brother, big brother."
Xiang Rongqing called out a few times consecutively, but Xiang Rongcheng didn't have any reaction. She once again thought that Shi Anran was using some trick to glare at her a few times, and blocked her way in front of Xiang Rongcheng, "Shi Anran, you're just staring at a man like that, do you have any shame?"
Seeing Xiang Rongqing like that, Xiang Rongcheng reached out and put her arm around her shoulders, "Rao Qing, don't mess around, we are guests here."
For the first time, Xiang Rongqing struggled free from Xiang Rongqing's embrace, and said angrily, "I'm not messing around! Brother, I don't want her to marry into our family! "
Hearing Xiang Rongqing's words, although Shi Anran did not reveal any expression on her face, she was secretly very satisfied. It would be good if she agreed, otherwise she would have to find a way to get Xiang Family to agree to annul the engagement, if she agreed right now, it would save her a lot of trouble.
However, the three girls who followed behind Shi Anran did not think that way. After hearing her words, they looked at Xiang Rongqing furiously.
Xiang Rongcheng was also shocked by Xiang Rongqing's sudden words, he subconsciously looked towards Shi Anran's direction, only to see that she did not seem to be abnormal like usual, and was immediately annoyed, frowning: "Rong Qing, stop messing around, just this one time, if you do not think about the consequences when you speak again, go and shut yourself up."
This was probably the first time since she had become sensible that her brother had spoken such heavy words to her. Xiang Rongqing's eyes immediately moistened, and he opened his mouth wide in disbelief, pointing towards Shi Anran's direction. "Big Brother, you're going to imprison me because of an outsider?" As he said that, Xiang Rongqing's tears could not help but flow down uncontrollably.
Seeing his sister losing control, Xiang Rongcheng became flustered and exasperated. Normally, although Xiang Rongqing was a little willful, but today she had gone too far! Xiang Rongcheng reached out and pressed Xiang Rongqing's sleeping points, then lifted her up, "Anran, I'll apologize for what happened today for Rong Qing.
Shi Anran shook her head slightly, "It's alright, Young Master Xiang should bring Miss Xiang back quickly."
Xiang Rongcheng lowered his head to look at his little sister in his arms, but in the end, he still nodded and left.
Seeing Xiang Rongcheng's figure disappear, Liu Yue became extremely angry, "Miss, this young miss has gone too far, how can she say something like that? I think that this Young Master Xiang might not be a good person. Miss, let's get Master to find a new house for you. Let's keep this Xiang Family far away from us in the future. "
