Yunu followed Ling Muran with a dark face. When he entered the door, he stood there without pouring tea.

Ling Muran was indeed thick-skinned. He stepped forward and said with a smile, "My nephew has met the eldest lady."

The eldest lady nodded, with an unnatural smile on her face: "My dear nephew, you are polite, please sit down quickly."

Ling Muran sat down generously, and Xue Rou'er smiled faintly: "What kind of wind brought you here?"

Yunu didn't know what he was thinking. He turned around and came back shortly after leaving. He popped the tea in his hand and placed it in front of Ling Muran.

Ling Muran opened the lid of the tea, and there was actually cold water inside. The tea leaves couldn't be brewed at all.

He put down the teacup and said, "Today I want to ask you about the new batch of jewelry in Fuguixuan."

Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "Master Ling is complimenting Rou'er. Rou'er is a slow-minded person, how could he design such an exquisite thing!"

Ling Muran must have done some research when he came here. He smiled faintly and said, "Actually, although the batch of colored glaze passed through my hands, I am also a victim. Are you willing to listen to my explanation?"

Xue Rou'er looked at him and asked: "Are you the victim? This is a new thing, let's talk about it."

Ling Muran said: "This batch of colored glaze was entrusted to me by Madam Ninth to sell. When I saw your grandpa was eager to turn over, I brokered the sale to your grandfather. I later found out that the batch of colored glaze was defective, so I was the innocent victim.

Implicated."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be telling lies, Xue Rou'er thought about it in her mind. It seemed that the problem still lay with Madam Ninth. She was probably related to the decline of her grandfather's business. She must have been planning to become the mistress of the Xue Mansion for a long time.

.

Seeing that Xue Rou'er didn't speak, Ling Muran asked, "Now that you know the truth, are you still angry?"

Xue Rou'er said: "In this case, I wrongly blamed you. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I won't keep you here anymore. Jade slave, see you off."

Ling Muran didn't expect that she would drive him away, and immediately showed a dazzling smile: "Rou'er, you and I are an unmarried couple, can't I just stay a little longer?"

Xue Rou'er said lightly: "Don't you know, Mr. Ling, that men and women can't be intimate? Even if they are engaged, they can't meet casually, let alone flirting."

Ling Muran was happy when she heard this and thought: "She is really jealous and is very concerned about her past with Xue Qing'er."

"Rou'er, Qing'er and I have nothing to do with each other. She just treats me as her brother." Ling Muran explained.

Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "Ling Muran, listen carefully, you and Xue Qing'er have nothing to do with me, please!"

Ling Muran frowned and thought: "It's unreasonable for a woman to be jealous. That's all. I'll just try to coax her after that. Why bother getting on the wrong side of this storm?"

"Okay, I wonder if Rou'er has time for the Chinese Valentine's Day temple fair next month?" Ling Muran had no choice but to go out on a date.

Xue Rou'er thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. Let's talk about it when the time comes."

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Ling Muran felt happy and said, "Okay, farewell."

When the eldest lady saw Ling Muran walking away, she couldn't help but said worriedly: "Rou'er, he is your future husband, you can't be so cold."

Xue Rou'er said: "Mom, have you forgotten how he framed grandpa?"

The eldest lady sighed: "Didn't he explain it? This matter has nothing to do with him."

Xue Rou'er sighed: "Mom, you are too kind and too submissive, that's why you are in such trouble. Although women are said to obey their husbands when they marry, they don't follow the law in this way. In the future, daughters will fight for their mothers.

"

The eldest lady's eyes are full of hope. Her daughter is different. Maybe she can really make Xue Li smile at her again!

But when she saw her daughter walking to the yard to bathe in the sun, she felt infinite guilt again. She was fourteen years old, and her figure was thin and not very developed. If she hadn't been too weak, her daughter would have been ten times more beautiful than Xue Qing'er.

Now that she saw her daughter, who was covered in wounds and still smiling after experiencing life and death, she suddenly felt full of courage.

Yes, she also needs to be strong so that she can protect herself and her favorite daughter!

After Yu Nu finished watering the flowers, she looked at the sky and said, "Miss, it's lunch time. I will go get the meal now."

Xue Rou'er nodded, picked up a small hoe and began to loosen the soil in the flower garden.

A quarter of an hour later, Yu Nu came back. She smiled and said, "Miss, the food is much better now. There is a fish here."

Xue Rou'er thought that Xue Li started to pay attention to them, but when the food was brought out, her face darkened again. There was indeed a fish, a skinny crucian carp, only as big as a palm.

A plate of green vegetables didn't smell greasy, but a plate of meat dishes contained pig intestines, which had an unpleasant smell and only had a few slices.

The rice is okay, not old rice, but when you eat it, you can tell that the surface layer is dry and hard.

"Bang!" Xue Rou'er threw the bowl on the table.

The eldest lady said: "That's all, as long as you can eat it."

Xue Rou'er said: "How can you eat this? Are we only worthy of eating these?"

After saying that, she walked to the dining room angrily, asking for an explanation.

The cook and several slaves in the dining room were eating, and they were also eating vegetables and large intestines, with only one fish missing.

"Who is in charge?" Xue Rou'er stood at the door and glanced at them coldly.

A woman in her forties stood up. She looked rich and neat. She said: "I am Zhang Ma, which courtyard girl are you from?" In the past, the eldest lady lived in seclusion and never came to the dining room.

, so she doesn’t know Xue Rouer at all.

Yunu shouted: "This is the eldest lady, are you blind?"

The ups and downs in the big house spread quickly. Naturally, Zhang Ma knew those things. Although the mother and daughter of the big house were not welcome, after all, they still had the support of the old lady. Naturally, they did not dare to offend, so they were soft-spoken.

Many: "Oh, it's the eldest lady. I should beat you. I wonder what the eldest lady is here for?"

Xue Rou'er said: "Why are our meals the same as yours? Are the mistress and the legitimate daughter only worthy of eating these?"

Zhang Ma immediately cried out: "Miss, you have wronged me. The jade slave came too late, so I can only choose something that is easy to eat. Mother-in-law, I think the menu is too thin, so I specially paid for a fish with my own money."

It’s been in the past.”

Xue Rou'er's eyes flashed and she said, "What do you mean it's too late? Aren't the meals in each room prepared in advance?"

Zhang Ma said: "Miss, you have never been to the dining room, so you don't understand the rules here. Ten years ago, I ordered that no food be wasted. First come, first served. Those who come after you can only eat the leftovers."

Hearing this, Xue Rouer became more curious about Xue Li. This man is really a weirdo.

Yu Nu said: "The eldest lady is not satisfied with today's meal. You can make it again."

Zhang Ma smiled faintly and said, "You have to ask the master for permission. I can't make the decision."

Xinzi walked in from outside the door and said, "Mother Zhang, the food today is not to your liking. Please hurry up and make some more."

Zhang Ma immediately said with a smile on her face, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
