The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 15: I was dozing off when someone handed me a pillow

Xu Rongrong was feeling bored when she heard a noise outside the courtyard gate.

"You bitch, you even dare to block my sister's way!" The one with the shrill voice was Xu Minmin, the third daughter of the Xu family. She was like a firecracker, and would explode if she was unhappy.

"I dare not, but our young lady was too tired last night and was not feeling well." This was Wen Yao's voice.

"Oh! Look, she just got married and she doesn't even bother to pay her respects to her mother. If she really gets married in the future, how will she even care about our Xu family?"

"Miss Third, what you said is irrational. Madam has set a rule that we should only pay respects on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, and today is only the eighth day."

"Changed it! Just changed it this morning!" Xu Minmin shouted, "How dare you, you slut, talk back!" "Wen Yao is the eldest sister's favorite girl, Minjie can't yell at her casually." The speaker was Xu Yaoyao. She said this to stop the fight, but in fact she was inciting Xu Minmin's emotions.

Xu Minmin was furious: "If you eat my rice, you have to listen to me. If this bitch dares to talk back, I will not only scold her, but I will also beat her!"

After saying this, she ordered: "Drag her away and give her twenty strokes of the cane!"

The maid she brought with her was about to go forward and drag the person away when she heard this.

"Stop!" Xu Rongrong came out, "This is Wutong Courtyard. If you want to show off your power, please go back to Baicui Courtyard."

"Besides, Madam said that the maids in my Wutong Courtyard are not responsible for expenses, so all expenses for Wen Yao and Luo Shu are paid with my monthly allowance, and they have never eaten your rice."

Xu Minmin was extremely angry: "You!" She was about to make a scene when Xu Yaoyao pulled her back.

The latter spoke in a gentle voice, "Don't be angry, big sister. Min Jie'er is just like that. Don't bother with her. I learned that your Majesty had granted you the marriage to Weiyuan Hou last night, so Min Jie'er and I came here specially to congratulate you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Minmin beside her became even more angry. Although she had just turned twelve, she had heard her friends talk about how outstanding Weiyuan Hou was every day and had long been full of admiration for him. It would have been fine if he had married any wealthy and noble lady, but he had to marry her own useless Xu Rongrong. How could she be willing to accept this! Let alone come to congratulate him.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Who knows if I can get married!"

Xu Rongrong sneered, "You don't have to worry about that."

She looked at her two nominal sisters in front of her: one was deep-minded, the other was as stupid as a fool. She thought that Xu Liu was a little partial when she gave birth to them.

"My sister came to congratulate you, and you didn't even invite us in." Xu Minmin pointed at her and scolded her, "Where are your manners?"

Xu Rongrong smiled slightly: "My mother passed away when I was young and I have no one to teach me. Unlike you, the eldest lady personally taught you how to make noise in other people's yards early in the morning." "Xu Rongrong, you..." Xu Minmin wanted to lose her temper again.

"Nonsense!" Xu Liu walked quickly into the yard and shouted at her little daughter.

"Mother...she bullied me." Xu Minmin's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked so pitiful.

If it were any other time, Xu Liu would have punished Xu Rongrong by making her kneel in the ancestral hall to vent her anger, but not today...

She glared at Xu Minmin, then held back her anger and invited the person outside in. "Thank you for coming, Mr. Yi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yi, the chief secretary of Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, walked in, followed by six servant-like people, each holding a food box in their hands.

Mu Yi walked up to Xu Rongrong and said, "Mu Yi, Chief Clerk of Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, greets Miss Xu."

Xu Rongrong subconsciously moved aside and refused his greeting.

Mu Yi, the chief secretary of the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, had made great contributions and was granted the title of third rank by the emperor. He was the only chief secretary with an official title in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, except for meeting the royal family, Mu Yi almost never bowed. Although she didn't know why he showed such courtesy to her, she felt that she should not accept it.

Her actions were seen by Xu Minmin, who couldn't help but reveal a trace of contempt: she was not worthy of being on the stage and didn't even dare to accept the greetings from the servants.

Mu Yi straightened up and just saw Xu Rongrong's actions, and thought to himself: Although this Miss Xu is not favored, she is humble and polite, which is rare.

He waved his hand, and the servants behind him came forward one after another and placed the food boxes in their hands neatly in the hall.

Everyone in the Xu Mansion was very confused, and Xu Rongrong was no exception.

Mu Yi explained gently, "The Marquis was ordered by the Emperor to inspect the camp in the western suburbs today, so he couldn't come in person. Miss Xu, please forgive me. Before he left, the Marquis instructed that Miss Xu was weak and had just recovered from a serious illness. He was afraid that the food in the mansion would be insufficient, so he ordered his subordinates to arrange a feast for Miss Xu every day."

Xu Liu's face hurt! Were the people from Weiyuan Marquis Mansion slapping her in the face? How was this any different from pointing at her nose and scolding her for abusing Xu Rongrong?

That bitch didn't come out of her belly, so how could she expect her to treat her like her own daughter?

"Master Yi..." Xu Liu said unhappily.

"Madam Xu, please wait a moment. I haven't finished speaking yet." Mu Yi's voice was still gentle, but it made Xu Liushi even more embarrassed.

"Last night was the Qixi Festival banquet. I'm afraid the young lady's appetite has decreased after drinking so much, so this morning I specially arranged for her Jade Soup Dumplings, Walnut Crisps, Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, Whitebait and Egg Custard, Green Cabbage Sprouts, and Green Silk Porridge from the Jade House."

Each time he named a dish, the servant would open the corresponding food box. Beneath each dish was a charcoal box, so even though the table was set up outside, it was still warm and fragrant.

Wen Yao and Luo Shu were so excited that their faces almost turned red: Marquis Weiyuan is so thoughtful!

However, Xu Rongrong felt nothing and even felt a little annoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Yi, but... I'm used to light food, I'm afraid I can't get used to this."

Xu Liushi: She doesn’t want it yet?

Xu Minmin: The fate of a bitch is to be bitch, she can’t eat good food!

Mu Yi looked at the expressions of the crowd and calmly presented a rosewood box:

"That's all right. I've brought the menus from the four great restaurants in the capital: Fanlou, Yuepailou, Xiangyulou, and Feicuilou. Miss, you can ask someone around to tell you what you want to eat and what your preferences are."

After saying this, he turned to Xu Liushi and said, "I'm afraid the people around the eldest lady will be coming and going frequently. I hope Madam Xu will be able to accommodate you."

Although Xu Liu was resentful, she did not dare to disobey. She squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Why not?"

Xu Rongrong's mind was stirred: In this way, wouldn't Luo Shu be able to freely enter and leave the Xu Mansion every day when ordering food? After hesitating for a moment, she took the wooden box and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yi. I will be honored to accept it."
