The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 9 "Good Intentions"

The next day, Xia Yanxiang didn't sleep well and woke up early, but it was still early, so she didn't make any noise. She waited until almost breakfast time before she woke people up and tidied herself up.

After breakfast, Xia Qianxiang came.

"Third sister, are you feeling better today?" Xia Qianxiang performed the greetings as peers and then sat down next to Xia Yanxiang.

Xia Yanxiang still felt a little headache: "It's nothing, I just still have a headache. The doctor said that if I take the medicine on time, I will be fine in a few days. But I still feel that what happened yesterday is strange."

Xia Qianxiang nodded and expressed her thoughts: "It is indeed strange. He died suddenly, and father did not pursue the matter. Normally, father does not like to intervene in the affairs of the harem, but this matter is not small. Since father has already encountered this matter, why did he ignore it so easily? And he threw the matter to my wife. Isn't this pushing my wife to the cusp of the storm?"

Xia Yanxiang shook her head: "He just wants to get out of this as soon as possible and not get involved in this hot potato."

Xia Qianxiang didn't say anything this time, but just frowned, as if thinking about something.

Xia Yanxiang also fell silent. The little girls next to them didn't understand what the two masters were thinking. Why did they suddenly stop talking?

However, Xia Yanxiang quickly spoke up: "Either my father was involved in this matter, so he couldn't really investigate it, or my father knew who did it, but he couldn't tell anyone, and couldn't let it leak out, so he just hastily closed the matter and got away with it."

"But this matter involves your reputation, so father shouldn't get involved, right? After all, you are the only legitimate daughter of our Xia family. If your reputation is in jeopardy, then the marriages of our three concubines will also be affected, right? Father has always attached great importance to cultivating our four sisters so that we can have a good marriage. How could he shoot himself in the foot?" Xia Qianxiang thought about it after listening to Xia Yanxiang's words and denied her first idea.

Xia Yanxiang knew what was going on. She said the second reason was just to cover up the first reason. Humph, is there anything Xia Liu can't do? Not to mention now, she had already figured it out in her previous life.

"However, my father knew who was behind this, but he wanted to cover it up for him. I guess that person must be someone extraordinary."

Xia Yanxiang nodded and said nothing more.

"My dear ladies, here comes the Jadeite who is with the Second Miss."

Xia Yanxiang already knew that Wen Pinxuan would definitely come, so she didn't refuse and nodded calmly: "Let her in."

Xia Qianxiang was a little wary and exchanged glances with Xia Yanxiang, who blinked and signaled her to rest assured.

"Your servant Cui Yu greets the two young ladies." Cui Yu first bowed to Xia Yanxiang and the others, then asked someone behind her to bring the things over. "This is the deer antler, ganoderma lucidum, various tonics, bird's nest and donkey-hide gelatin that the second young lady asked me to bring to the third young lady. The second young lady said that the third young lady's health is not well yet, so she sent them here specially."

Xia Yanxiang looked at her with a look of disdain, but she still said calmly: "Then I'd like to trouble you to thank my second sister for me. After taking the supplements my second sister gave me, I will definitely get better and won't be late for the outing."

Cuiyu choked, looking a little embarrassed, and said with a forced smile: "That's good, the two young ladies can chat, and I will go back to report to the second young lady.

"Anzhi, go get some silver for Miss Cuiyu." Xia Yanxiang smiled and softly instructed Anzhi.

"it is good."

"Thank you, Third Miss." Cui Yu was delighted. She didn't expect that the Third Miss didn't doubt her own lady at all and even foolishly wanted to give her money.

Xia Yanxiang knew from her expression that she was not a smart person and could be easily dealt with at any time.

Cuiyu took the silver, bowed happily and left.

"Third sister, what does second sister mean by this?" Xia Qianxiang didn't believe that Xia Pinxiang was really kind. Looking at her reaction yesterday, she knew that she was involved in what happened yesterday.

The smile on Xia Yanxiang's face changed from calm to disdainful: "After so many years, don't we know what kind of person Xia Pinxiang is? If someone is too attentive to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Look at Cuiyu's face just now. When she heard me mention going outing, her face changed. It's probably because of this matter. These things are probably not clean either."

"But how can I refuse my second sister's 'kindness'?"

Not only should we accept it, but we should also give great gifts in return.
