12. Chapter 12
"If you have something to say, what are you doing here on your knees!" Wei Junhang frowned.
Lian Xiang dared to get up and kowtowed several times at him, and then she choked out: "My servant, please be kind to Shizi, forgive my brother Zhuzi this time, don't drive him out of the house!"
Wei Junhang was stunned: "Who is Zhuzi? Who wants him... What mistake did he make and get kicked out?"
I wanted to ask 'who is going to kick him out', but when I said that, I suddenly remembered that it seemed that my wife was rectifying the inner courtyard recently.
Two different sentences have completely different meanings. The latter question even more straightforwardly shows the fairness of my wife's actions. You must have made a mistake in pushing you out!
Lianxiang is not a fool. Although Wei Junhang didn't say all the words, but she could understand it, her heart sank, and she suddenly felt that it was really a mistake to ask for this kind of love.
Will the prince really refute the prince's wife's decision and forgive her brother for her sake?
"What are you doing? Why don't you answer the question? What mistake did the pillar make and get kicked out?" Waiting for her answer for a long time, Wei Shizi was dissatisfied, and his face sank immediately.
Lian Xiang shuddered and lowered her head even lower. At this moment, she only wished that she would never come again, but the water poured out of the words she said, she was afraid that she would not be able to save it.
"The day before yesterday, Zhuzi was dragged by a few incompetent boys in the outer courtyard to have a drink. Zhuzi couldn't get rid of it, so he drank two glasses. I was thinking of going back to work, but I didn't think that those people would not let him go, so I just dragged him to ask for it. Let's roll a dice. The pillars can't get out of the way, so I thought about how to deal with it and then left, but I never expected that in such a short time, Mammy Wang would bring someone to patrol the courtyard..."
Speaking of the back, her voice was getting lower and lower, and her head was getting lower and lower.
Although she didn't speak clearly, and she deliberately played down her brother's fault, Wei Junhang was not an idiot, so he could hear that her words were biased, and he frowned: "So, your brother was arrested by Wang Ma for drinking and gambling while he was on duty. Mammy led someone to arrest him, so he was kicked out without an errand?"
Lianxiang's face turned pale, her head was hung down in embarrassment, her heart was even more chaotic, and some words were incoherent: "Zhu, Zhuzi, he has always been diligent in his work, he has never done anything, and he has never done anything wrong. Slaves and slaves have never asked The deceased son-in-law, I beg the son-in-law to see, for the sake of the servants and servants who have always served faithfully, then, please forgive him this time!"
After speaking, he kowtowed again with a 'dong dong dong'.
However, if she looked up at the person in front of her, she would find that the other person's face became more displeased.
"Don't talk too much. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. This is a matter of course. If you don't have anything else to report, then go ahead!" Wei Junhang flicked his sleeves at her, unwilling to listen to her any more.
"Yes..." Although Lian Xiang was a little unwilling, she still remembered her identity and didn't dare to entangle her again, so she started talking about other things.
"After Dongmei, Luyue, and Xiaocui were transferred a few days ago, although the new girls are honest, they are not as neat as those three, so they are a little tight recently. It will be a newcomer, I am afraid that the newcomer may not be able to get started immediately, can you transfer some Dongmei back for a while, and wait for the new girls..."
"It's up to you to return to Mrs. Shizi in this matter. The wife will decide." Wei Junhang was impatient to listen to these trivial matters, and immediately blocked her words back.
Lian Xiang's heart is cold.
Dongmei and Luyue served longer than her, and in the end she ended up like this. How could she have felt that she was different in the first place?
Madam Shizi didn't make a move, and as soon as she made her move, she was so resolute. Those few people's thoughts about Shi Ziye in the past may have fallen into the eyes of Shizi's wife long ago, and they will take care of them when the time is right.
In fact, Shen Xinyan had been waiting for Wei Junhang's attitude all the time, and the person serving him suddenly changed to a real face. It was impossible for him not to know, but he never said anything, which made Shen Xinyan a little unsure of his mind.
It was not until the next day that Wei Junhang held a delicate brocade box and handed it to her. His eyes were shining and full of anticipation.
Shen Xinyan was stunned by his burning eyes: "This, what is this?"
Wei Junhang didn't answer and said, "Open it up and see if you like it?"
Shen Xinyan couldn't, and opened the brocade box obediently. When the phoenix hairpin, which was lying on the velvet cloth, was inlaid with jewels, she was stunned for a rare moment.
"This, this is sent, given to me?"
"Yes, yes! Do you like it? It doesn't matter if, if you don't like it, I can take it back and exchange it." Wei Junhang stammered as she looked at him a little uncomfortable.
Shen Xinyan stared at him for a long time, until the Shizi, who had always been heartless and careless, was heartbroken. Finally, when he was about to be unable to resist, he saw her suddenly burst into an unusually bright smile.
"I like it, I like it very much, thank you, Shizi!"
"That, that, that, that's fine." Big Tongue Shizi wanted to look away and stop looking at the face that made his heart beat faster like a hairy boy, but he couldn't bear it.
After all, it was the first time that she had once again bloomed in front of her that kind of smile that made his heart palpitate since she first met in the Hundred Flowers.
"Would you help me put it on?" Shen Xinyan held the hairpin and compared it to the bronze mirror, looking back at someone who was still dumbfounded and asked softly.
"Oh, good, good!" Wei Junhang finally came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, took the phoenix hairpin, placed it in a suitable position for the towering bun like clouds, and then inserted it carefully.
"Okay, okay."
Shen Xinyan looked at him in the bronze mirror with a smile: "Thank you, Shizi!"
"You're welcome, ma'am." Wei Junhang smiled a little silly.
Shen Xinyan stared at the still handsome face in the bronze mirror, suddenly burst into impulse, and asked, "I have dealt with a lot of people around you recently, don't you have anything to say?"
As soon as she said it, she regretted it, and just as she was about to say something to remedy it, Wei Junhang replied disapprovingly, "Madam has her own reason for doing this. Since those individuals have been dealt with, they must have made an unforgivable mistake."
Shen Xinyan was stunned, lowered her eyes for a moment, and finally couldn't help laughing lowly.
It was she who did it too much. This man never gave up on her at any time in his last life. How could he possibly have a quarrel with her because of some servants in this life. It was she who took the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
"That Lianxiang, Madam doesn't need to care about her. I left her as a last resort. At the same time, I don't want to see her abused by my family." Wei Junhang said suddenly.
Shen Xinyan was stunned, but did not expect that he would explain Lianxiang to herself.
"As for what happened..."
"I understand, it doesn't matter. She is always given to you by your mother. Besides, she has been attentive in doing things over the years, and she has a peaceful temperament. I am relieved to have her by your side."
Wei Junhang opened his mouth, and finally couldn't hold back and muttered, "But, but me, me and her have always been innocent!"
What? !
Shen Xinyan couldn't believe what she heard.
However, although she was shocked, she never doubted his words, just because he really didn't need to lie.
"She, isn't she, isn't yours, isn't your roommate?" This time it was her turn to stutter.
"It's not what I want..." Wei Junhang muttered.
He doesn't have to be fragrant or stinky, right? Of course, it is not easy for him to refuse someone who is given by his mother, but it is up to him how to deal with it when he brings it back, and even his mother should not ask.
Shen Xinyan was really stunned on the spot this time, unable to react for a long time.
Wei Junhang scratched his ears, not sure what her reaction meant.
I don't know how long it took before she let out a long sigh, and when she raised her eyes, she met his slightly cautious eyes. She felt a stun in her chest for some reason, and she couldn't help but reach out and caress his cheek, He murmured, "In those days, why did you insist on marrying me?"
"Yeah, it's nothing! Just, I just think you look so good when you laugh. If only you could face each other for the rest of your life." Wei Junhang was so excited by her touch that he wanted to jump up and laugh a few times, but he was afraid. Surprised the other party, only try to suppress this mind.
Shen Xinyan couldn't remember when she had smiled at him before she got married, but she didn't have the heart to study it at this moment.
Fortunately, it was not too late for her to wake up in this life.
"Madam, the third lady sent someone to invite you to the flower hall, saying that the shopkeepers of Linglong Pavilion and Nishangxuan are here." Xia He lifted the curtain and came in to report, which also interrupted Shen Xinyan's thoughts.
"Okay, I'll go here!"
"If you have something to do, I'll go see Brother Lin." The soft and warm touch on his cheek disappeared, and Wei Junhang was a little disappointed.
"...Jadeite looks old, sister Fang is not good-looking wearing these at a young age, give it to me! This is good, this is good, this gold inlaid eastern bead pendant is especially suitable for my sister, and my sister wears it more and more like a fairy!"
"But I think..."
"That's it, that's it, listen to me!"
When Shen Xinyan approached the flower hall, she heard voices coming from inside, and after listening carefully, she knew that it was the voices of Yang Shi and Fang Birong.
She smiled awkwardly.
She also knew that the Yang family would definitely choose some of the most valuable things for herself. With her temperament, the Fang sisters were afraid to vomit to death.
"Oh, second sister-in-law, you are finally here, come quickly, do you see how good I look in this emerald-studded jewelry earring?" Mrs Yang noticed her arrival first, and leaned forward enthusiastically, her hands on both earlobes There is a pair of delicate earrings.
"Good-looking, very good-looking, and it makes the third sibling richer and more powerful!" Shen Xinyan glanced at Fang Birong, who was a little aggrieved, and then looked at Mrs. Fang, who was full of forbearance, and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
"I think so too!" Mrs Yang was so proud, she tried on several pieces of jewelry she had picked one by one, turning back to ask Shen Xinyan's opinion from time to time.
Shen Xinyan was quite cheering, and she complimented her without hesitation, which instantly made Yang's laughter unstoppable.
Fang Shi was full of anger, and whenever she chose jewelry for her sister, Yang Shi would always take it away for various reasons, but she also had a kind expression on her face for sister Fang's sake, which made her have a seizure if she wanted to. No.
How can there be such a thick-skinned person in the world!
