After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

Liu Sanwan cried and laughed: "How can I have such face?"

"The guests that Master Liu invites are naturally those with achievements, at least they are scholars."

Xie Boyuan was surprised: "Teacher, you have such a wide circle of friends?"

Hear the words.

Liu Sanwan was surprised: Could it be that this nephew Xie Xian doesn’t know Master Liu’s background?

Judging from his confused look, I'm afraid so.

He couldn't help but shake his head and thought to himself, "Fools are lucky."

No more talking.

He changed the subject and chatted with Xie Boyuan about other things.

……

backyard.

Zhou Shuyun sat by the window lattice embroidering. The more she worked, the more upset she became. She threw the embroidery stand aside and stamped her feet fiercely. "That Xie family kid is truly despicable. He hasn't come to visit for so long. Is he really going to break off the engagement and find someone better?!"

"Poor Ru'er..."

The maids serving around lowered their heads and held their breath, wishing they could become invisible.

At this time.

A joyful female voice rang out along with the sound of footsteps: "Madam, Madam!"

Zhou Shuyun was furious: "Shout..."

Xiaolu held the orchid in her hand, smiling broadly, "Madam, Master Xie is here. This is the magnolia flower he gave to you. Steward Liu specifically asked me to bring it to you."

Zhou Shuyun's anger subsided.

Look at the magnolia flowers: they were freshly picked this morning, still covered with dew, with a delicate fragrance that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

She coughed twice and said, "Half sleeve, take it."

The oval-faced maid replied, "Yes, ma'am."

"I remember your name is Xiaolu, right? Not bad, Yinyue, reward her with half an ounce of silver."

Another square-faced maid: "Yes."

Xiaolu was surprised and delighted, and bowed quickly: "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam..."

Zhou Shuyun waved her hand.

Looking at Banxiu picking up a porcelain bottle at random, she frowned and said, "Use the white porcelain magnolia moon bottle that came with my dowry."

Banxiu was slightly surprised and nodded quickly.

This white porcelain magnolia moon vase was Madam's favorite dowry. She treasured it so much that she'd play with it every now and then. But she actually used it to hold the magnolia flowers that Master Xie had sent her?!

Unexpectedly, the lady thought so highly of Xie Boyuan.

In this regard.

Zhou Shuyun was completely unaware.

If one could hear Banxiu's inner thoughts, he would definitely reply, "A seventeen-year-old student and a seventeen-year-old top student in the imperial examination are two worlds apart. They are completely different."

"In the past, she would even say that Xie Boyuan was marrying above her station."

"Now, the situation has reversed. It's the Liu family who's marrying up. For the sake of her daughter's happiness, she must of course coax her future son-in-law into good graces."

in fact.

Although Zhou Shuyun disliked Xie Boyuan in the past, she never embarrassed him in person.

Closer to home.

The flowers are arranged.

Banxiu asked Zhou Shuyun, "Madam, where is this treasure moon bottle?"

Zhou Shuyun looked around the room and finally pointed at the table at the head of the reception room: "Put it right there."

When Xie Boyuan comes in later, he will see it and understand how much I value him.

Yin Yue sent Xiao Lu away and stepped forward to ask, "Madam, do you want to inform the young lady?"

Zhou Shuyun shook her head: "No, you can take him directly to Shuang'er later."

Yin Yue nodded: "Yes, ma'am."

Just finished.

The old woman guarding the door called out, "Madam, Master Xie is outside the door."

Zhou Shuyun stood up suddenly.

"So fast?!"

"Invite him in quickly."

……

outside.

Xie Boyuan followed Yin Yue in.

Butler Liu said goodbye to him and turned to leave.

Once inside.

Zhou Shuyun sat at the head of the table. He bowed respectfully and said, "My nephew greets my aunt."

"sit."

Zhou Shuyun smiled faintly: "Yinyue, serve the tea." As she spoke, she thought of something and added: "Don't forget to serve Boyuan's favorite osmanthus cake."

Upon hearing this, Xie Boyuan hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you, Auntie."

riverside.

Xie Linghe was surprised: How come this Mrs. Zhou suddenly seemed like a different person?

next moment.

She saw the vase next to Zhou Shuyun, and her eyes looked at her: Why does it look so familiar?

hiss~

Isn’t this the magnolia flower that Xie Boyuan sent?

"It should."

Then, Zhou Shuyun said with concern, "You must have been very busy for the college entrance examination. You seem to have lost a lot of weight compared to last time."

He stroked the magnolia flower again and said, "It's amazing that you're so thoughtful to give me a gift."

Xie Linghe: “???”

Has Xie Boyuan lost weight? ! ! !

Where did you lose weight?

She looked like she had gained two pounds: the food in Liu Mansion in Suzhou Prefecture was so good!

next moment.

Xie Linghe understood.

Madam Zhou is trying to get closer to Xie Boyuan.

Gee tut.

She finally witnessed the charm of the scholar!

In this regard.

Xie Boyuan also saw it and smiled brightly: "Thank you for your concern, auntie. I hope you like this flower."

Zhou Shuyun nodded quickly: "I like it, of course I like it."

"..."

The two chatted, with Zhou Shuyun mostly starting the conversation and Xie Boyuan responding with a few words while eating osmanthus cake.

Until the osmanthus cake is finished.

Zhou Shuyun said with a smile: "You are busy too, I won't keep you any longer, go see Shuang'er."

Xie Boyuan stood up: "Yes, aunt."

Zhou Shuyun watched him leave.

Xie Linghe sighed secretly: Poor parents in the world.

In the book, Liu Rushuang was tortured. How painful it must have been for her.

Mrs. Zhou, don't worry, I will make your daughter happy in this life.

……

Liu Rushuang's yard.

Her yard was the largest in the mansion, and there was a small pond in the yard that connected to the outside.

at this time.

She had a worried look on her face, sitting in a chair in a daze, and looked much thinner.

aside.

Xiaohong felt very distressed.

I cursed in my heart: Xie Boyuan is such a disaster. He stole my girl's heart and is so irresponsible!

same moment.

Xie Boyuan's nose itched and he sneezed.

Xiaohong looked over and her eyes widened: "Miss, it's my aunt, my uncle is here!!!"

Liu Rushuang stood up immediately.

If you feel something.

Xie Boyuan raised his head.

Eyes facing each other.

As if it was a glance that lasted for a thousand years, Liu Rushuang looked at him infatuatedly.

This scene.

Falling into Xie Linghe's eyes, she was moved by peach blossoms: I got it! So sweet~

result.

The next moment, she shattered.

Xie Boyuan had a serious expression and bowed from a distance: "Miss Liu, may I speak further?"

Liu Rushuang came back to her senses and nodded with a red face.

Xie Boyuan strode closer.

Liu Rushuang was in a panic: "Master Xie, please sit down. Xiaohong, go make a pot of hot tea. Oh, and bring a plate of osmanthus cake..."

Xie Boyuan stopped him: "No need to take the osmanthus cake, I've already eaten it at my aunt's place."

Liu Rushuang nodded quickly.

Xiaohong bent her legs and left.

Inside the pavilion.

Only Liu Rushuang and Xie Boyuan were left.

Liu Rushuang couldn't help but stare at Xie Boyuan. Xie Boyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Hear the words.

Liu Rushuang blushed and waved her hands: "No, no..."

Seeing her blushing cheeks, Xie Boyuan wondered: Is there something wrong with this Miss Liu? Why does her face turn pale and red every time he sees her...

but.

He didn't forget the important things.

He took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Liu Rushuang, saying simply, "A gift."
