Chapter 141
Commander Wei was worrying secretly when he saw Madam Zhao bring Chunlan into the house to thank her.
Mu Xiyao looked at the little girl who was obviously wronged, but also looked extremely moved, and felt a little sour in her heart.
"Help me up quickly, Mammy. What are you doing here in such a hurry? Go back and rest. It won't be too late to come out to work in ten and a half months. Master, I will definitely not deduct your monthly payment." There was no one around her. There was a shortage of people, and the six female guards given by Zong Zhenglin were often idle in the courtyard.
When Mu Xiyao saw that Chunlan was sick and had to come to schedule shifts, she immediately remembered her inhuman Shangfeng's hateful face before. Now that the feng shui is turning well, it's her turn to be the little boss, so naturally she should be more lenient. In order not to be behind my back with my predecessors, calling her mean and stingy, right?
"Master, master's bottle of ointment..." Chunlan didn't speak, and the golden beans began to drop.
Mu Xiyao was startled, what happened? That ointment doesn't work? Why are you so good, you cry when you say you cry?
"The ointment was spoiled by the maid." The little maid twitched in distress, and kept wiping her eyes with her right hand. What the master gave was royal ointment, she used it very carelessly.
Mu Xiyao was falsely alarmed by her gasping for breath. Is the ointment still ruined?
"Master, how can I treat you so badly? When you give a bottle of ointment, you cry into tears. I don't know, I thought your master treated the servants harshly. It's okay, it's okay, put away your tears, the ointment is a treasure What, do you still offer it when it’s time to use it?”
With a wave of Mu Xiyao's hand, Hui Lan took out another jar of ointment, and stuffed it into Chunlan's arms.
Chunlan was originally here to thank her master, but she was taken back in a daze as she received grace in a daze. This time, not only was there a good medicine, but she was also on sick leave for half a month, which made her a little confused.
Mu Xiyao felt that it was a waste of His Highness Sixth Highness to give her this ointment. She has a jade pendant as a warning, so she is very careful about stumbling around. If something really happened, it would be too late to respond even if Yupei gave the warning. This situation should be rare, and one or two cans would be enough.
"Master, Concubine Helian has just returned to the mansion. As soon as she came back, she took people to Fanghua Garden." Seeing the idlers retreating, Zhao Mama hurriedly reported the situation in the backyard to Mu Xiyao.
To visit Su Linrou for two consecutive days? Helian Minmin is preparing to pull the alliance into battle?
Mu Xiyao felt that it should be more vivid to describe Helian Minmin's plan as "deception".
"She got the news, and she can take care of this end, which is good." Mu Xiyao is very optimistic about Helian's performance in the past few days. This is what a princess should do. How could that dignified and steady woman in the previous life, the Yuan Empress of Emperor Jian'an, do nothing and just stay silent like this?
This time the Helian family was forced to confront the fourth princess, Zong Zhengying, there might be a good show to watch.
Mu Xiyao happened to be in the mood to be an idler, but Helian Minmin brought someone to Danruoyuan the next day.
I have seen the ceremony politely, and there are a lot of entertainment that should be given.
"Concubine Zheng came here specially today, but do you have something important to explain to my concubine?" Helian Minmin came at this time, is he going to have a showdown with her and pull her to deal with Zong Zhengying?
"My sister is joking. There is nothing to explain here. It's just a business negotiation with my sister." He Lian Minmin put down the tea bowl, and waved the maid behind her to step back.
Doing business? This topic was special, which immediately aroused Mu Xiyao's interest.
Not being stingy at all, Mu Xiyao readily dismissed the waiter, and waited for Helian Minmin to speak with great interest. Wei Zhen didn't know which corner she was hiding in, so she felt relieved.
"My sister has met Helian Weiwei?"
Mu Xiyao was taken aback. How about her? Speaking of that ambitious woman at this time, could it be that this business is...
With the bottom line in her heart, Mu Xiyao was not in a hurry to speak, and answered her questions calmly. "I've seen it twice. The offering of incense at Anguo Temple is the first time we met, and it was the second time when His Highness went to the opera on the day the mansion was opened."
Helian Minmin guessed that Mu Xiyao would not hide anything, but she didn't want her to explain in detail. Maybe it's better to talk directly to the woman in front of you?
"The side concubine thinks that Helian Weirui is a good match?" Since they met each other, they should have some opinions.
Mu Xiyao saw that Helian Minmin's attitude changed, she lost those twists and turns, and she was more comfortable with this way of communication. Since people voted peaches first, how could she not express anything?
"But she begged Lord Helian to enter the mansion?"
As soon as these words came out, Helian Minmin's expression immediately changed.
Mu Xiyao even knew about this? When did this happen? The Helian family kept this matter a secret. How could this woman get the news so quickly after living her carefree life in the mansion? Is this because she has another source of information, or has she seen through Helian Wei's true nature at a glance?
"Concubine Zheng, don't be surprised. Lingmei won the Phoenix lottery, if she really has no idea, then it doesn't make sense." It's true that ordinary people have ideas, and this Helian Weirui idea is as big as the sky.
"The side concubine is not afraid that she will have trouble with you after entering the mansion?" Helian Weirui must show results in order to win the support of the family. Mu Xiyao was her first choice.
"In this way, Lord Helian is planning to change his generals and play a new card." Mu Xiyao rolled up the tassel circle around her waist and played with it, with a very relaxed expression. He didn't think it was wrong to talk about her father in front of Helian Minmin. As for the meaning of the words, everyone understands them clearly. This is to show that the two have been on the wrong track from the beginning to the end.
"How does the concubine want to deal with herself?" He Lianzhang, a royalist, played the banner beautifully, but in fact he was not greedy and lacked the courage of a hero. If you want to get benefits, the most obvious shortcut is to work hard on your relatives.
He Lian Minmin did not expect that Mu Xiyao would see things so clearly, even she would bluntly point out that she was about to become an abandoned child. As for her talking about Lord Helian face to face, without the slightest respect, Helian Minmin didn't mind.
The family members don't even care about her situation, so what's the use of her worrying about the other party's reputation?
Now that the two sides have spoken, there is no need to cover up.
"I definitely don't want Helian Weirui to enter this prince's mansion." Helian Minmin narrowed his eyes and spoke frankly.
The corner of Mu Xiyao's mouth curled up, the woman across from her was unambiguous at an important moment. Mu Xiyao felt that this was the first time she enjoyed such a carefree communication in the backyard. On weekdays, only His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness could speak openly in front of her. The rest of the women, including Mrs. Yu and Concubine Shu, were full of polite words, occasional words, and auspicious words.
"The side concubine should not like this person." According to Helian Minmin's observation in March, although Mu Xiyao also competed for favor, and competed fiercely, she never killed anyone. He can be regarded as upright, but at least his heart is not bad. Such a woman, as long as she doesn't make her anxious, shouldn't like to play tricks.
"It's not dislike, but boredom." Mu Xiyao answered bluntly, with a clear attitude.
Competition for favor in the Prince's Mansion is inevitable, and it is normal to use some means to win men over from time to time. If there is a person with a gloomy temperament who does not care about hot and cold, and is stared at by a pair of gloomy eyes all day long, Mu Xiyao feels that the sky is a bit dark. It's a nice yard, it's better not to enter women who are too troublesome.
