She pondered for a while, what Second Uncle Mu said sounded reasonable at first glance, but she couldn't bear to think about it.

"Second uncle is afraid that he will be confused because of concern." She said with a smile, showing the humility of a junior. "It was rumored that Xun Erlang ran away from marriage because his niece was ugly. My niece didn't dare call herself a beauty, but she knew she wasn't ugly. I think Xun Erlang would change his mind when he saw it."

Second Uncle Mu's eyes shrank, he suddenly laughed a few times, and nodded his head: "Second Uncle is really confused. He only thought that you would be hurt and sad, but he forgot such an important matter."

She also laughed and said, "Second Uncle is not confused. He cared too much about his niece, so he forgot about it for a while."

"Yes, yes." Second Uncle Mu laughed again, "It's easy to handle this way. When I saw General Xun in the past few days, Second Uncle mentioned this matter to him. I can't let my wife of the Mu family suffer forever. It's so embarrassing."

"Thank you second uncle."

After Second Uncle Mu left, Wei'er ordered the maidservant of the Mu family to pack up the tea set and leave, and said to her with a smile, "Master Erlang is the only one who really cares about you, my lady."

Tang Xiaoshi glanced at her and smiled wryly. I'm afraid Second Uncle Mu didn't care about her, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a big loophole. It must be to test her, and there are other intentions.

After all, this Mu Mansion is no longer home!She sighed helplessly, walked to the wooden pavilion in the yard and sat down, enjoying the warm wind to enjoy the flowers and plants in the yard to relieve her boredom, and also to take care of this matter.

In the evening, Hang Rui came over and told her that he had visited Uncle Mu and handed Uncle Mu a handwritten letter from his father.

Hang Rui was by the side when Father Hang wrote the letter. After reading the content, the letter first mentioned the relationship between the two families and the love of the Hang family for Mu Yue. The Mu family was worried.

Although the words are normal, and most of them are about Mu Yue's business, anyone who has a heart can read the meaning behind the Hang family from this letter.

"What's Second Uncle's reaction after seeing it?" Tang Xiaoshi asked curiously.

"What kind of reaction can there be? Naturally, it's the set of high-sounding thanks and proper rhetoric."

She shrugged her shoulders to see what Uncle Mu would do next.

A few days later, rumors and rumors outside were still flying all over the sky. There were even a few noble wives and ladies who came to visit the back house of the Mu Mansion under the pretext of just wanting to see her ugly face.

It's just that the members of the Mu family didn't say a word to her, they blocked the news, and when she found out, the guest had already left, so she didn't let her seize the opportunity to show her face to prove her beauty.The Mu family's intentions behind this need not be guessed, it is already obvious.

Wei'er was so angry that she wanted to scold people in the hall, but she didn't dare to scold, her little face was flushed red.

She was also glad that she was the one who came back instead of the real Mu Yue, otherwise she would be so sad and disappointed to meet such a family member.

Two days later, Second Uncle Mu called her to the study and told her that he had ordered a few words from the Xun family.In fact, General Xun had already sent someone to Tanzhou to order Xun Erlang to return to Beijing when he received the news from the Hang family about her return to Beijing.After she arrived in Beijing, she sent someone back to Tanzhou to spread the word.

"Should be able to return to Beijing in a few days." Second Uncle Mu smiled lovingly, "You don't have to go out during this period of time, An Anxin is waiting to be married in the mansion. As for the marriage, Second Uncle and Second Aunt If you help me arrange it, you will definitely get married in a prosperous way."

She smiled politely and said a few words about Uncle Mu's hard work and troubles, and then added: "The old man loves his niece, but he is old, and Hezhou is far from Luoyang. , so let the cousin of the Hang family come over to send his niece to get married. If the second uncle and aunt have anything that is too busy, you can also ask the cousin of the Hang family to do it for him. "

"Okay." Uncle Mu smiled amiably, walked to her side, and gently patted her arm to persuade, "Don't think too much, just wait for Xun Erlang to return to Beijing, and the Xun family will officially come to propose marriage."

She smiled shyly and nodded.

She left Uncle Mu's study, but she couldn't laugh.Calculating according to the time, the Xun family received the letter from the old man more than a month ago, and it took up to 20 days to travel from Luoyang to Qinzhou. If Xun Lan wanted to come back, he would have returned half a month ago.

Now that the Xun family goes to remind people, I am afraid there will be no results.

She scolded Xun Lan from beginning to end in her heart, because of his escaping marriage, she was criticized behind the back by everyone in Luoyang City, and she was also called an "ugly girl" on her back, which caused a mess of troubles.

She couldn't get out of this bad breath, she was not happy at all.

About ten days ago, it was already the end of February, and there was no news from Second Uncle Mu. Hang Rui went out to find out that Xun Lan still hadn't come back.

This means that the second time the Xun family sent someone to Tanzhou to ask him to come back, he again refused.

Mu Jia and Mu Jun secretly laughed when they heard about this.

This afternoon, she was strolling around the back garden, and happened to hear two people talking by the waterside pavilion.Mu Jia gloated and said, "I heard from Aunt that the Xun family sent Sanlang to Tanzhou last time, and they haven't brought him back yet. Xun Erlang is determined not to marry Yueniang."

"Of course." Mu Jun echoed, "A gentleman like Xun Erlang, who is so elegant and elegant, knew that he was going to marry an ugly girl, how could he come back? Third sister think about it, if it were you, let you marry an ugly girl." Ugly looking man, will you marry me?"

"Stop cursing me, otherwise no one will marry anyone, besides, it's not like you don't know what I'm thinking."

"Of course I know that the third sister is pretending to be Xun Erlang, but I don't know when the marriage contract between Yueniang and Xun Erlang will be dissolved, but don't wait too long, it will delay the third sister."

"It won't be too long. Even if I can afford to wait, there are rumors going on outside, and Xun Erlang will stay in Qinzhou and refuse to return. Yueniang won't last long."

"That's right!"

Tang Xiaoshi who was outside was extremely calm after listening to this conversation, and all her guesses had an accurate answer.

Wei'er was already rolling up her sleeves and was about to rush in, so she immediately stopped her.

"Miss..." Wei'er suppressed her voice, and became more angry, pointing at the waterside pavilion, her face was red with anger but she couldn't speak.

Tang Xiaoshi pulled her away.

"Miss...the Mu family is plotting against you." Wei'er shook off her hand forcefully and cried angrily, "Miss, how could you allow the Mu family to bully you like this? grievance."

Tang Xiaoshi looked at her pear blossoms with rain, she was a little confused, and even more at a loss, this emotional reaction was even greater than hers.

She pulled her, put a veil on her, and persuaded: "I won't let you go in to argue with them. Firstly, impulsiveness can't solve the matter, but make enemies head-on. Secondly, I thought of a good way to solve this matter. "

"What's the way?" Wei'er immediately wiped away her tears, staring at her with red eyes and asking.

"You'll find out tomorrow."

"Can't you tell the maid in advance?"

"You still don't believe me?"

"The servant girl naturally believes in the lady." She burst into tears and laughed.

"Then don't cry, let's go, let's go back and clean up, and go out tomorrow dressed up beautifully."

Wei'er didn't know what she was going to do, but since the lady said she was so confident, she believed her and didn't ask any more questions.

The next day Tang Xiaoshi put on exquisite makeup, and made up from head to toe carefully, even carefully selecting such small things as earrings, and finally made up to go out with Wei Er and a few serving maids.

Just after leaving the gate of the courtyard, I met the second wife and Mu Jia, both of them were surprised when they saw her dress today, as if they were shocked.

"Hello, Second Aunt." She stepped forward and bowed her knees to salute.

"Are you going out?" The Second Madam looked at her face and skirt several times.

"Yes, go to Xun's house."

"The Xun family?" The expressions of the two of them became tense, and their smiles froze. "You are a young lady who is waiting to be married. Why are you going to the door of your fiancé's house? It's against the rules." The second wife immediately became enthusiastic, "What's the matter, You tell Second Aunt, Second Aunt to find a way. If this matter gets out, it will damage your reputation."

She smiled professionally: "My niece thinks that if you don't go to Xun's house, it will damage your reputation." She glanced at Mu Jia and took a step closer, "I'm going to divorce Xun Lan, the third sister and Will Second Aunt still stop me?"

The two looked shocked, but for a moment, their most genuine joy flowed out of their eyes.

"Yue Niang won't talk too much with my aunt and sister, I'll talk to you guys after I get back from Xun's house." Turning around, she led the people towards the gate of Mu Mansion.

The second wife and Mu Jia looked at each other, feeling confused, and then couldn't help the smile on their lips.

Outside the door, the carriage and several attendants of the Hang family are already waiting.

Tang Xiaoshi glanced at the brocade box in Weier's hand beside her, and walked over to step on the carriage.

The carriage wobbled to the gate of General Xun's mansion, and the attendants had already stepped forward to identify themselves with the guard in front of the gate. The guard looked at the carriage in surprise, and was stunned when he saw the lady getting off the carriage.

After the entourage urged, the guard came back to his senses, turned around and ran towards the mansion immediately.

After a while, a gentleman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, came out of the mansion. When he saw her, he froze in place. He couldn't help asking the guard next to him again to confirm the identity of the visitor.

Tang Xiaoshi walked forward with a gentle smile: "It's Sanlang, right? When I was young, you even grabbed the corner of my skirt to wipe my tears and my nose!"

Lang Jun smiled awkwardly: "It's really the second sister Mu, my younger brother is blind and didn't recognize it, please come inside the second sister Mu."

Tang Xiaoshi led people to follow Xun Sanlang to the flower hall, when General Xun and his wife came from the other side.

When the two saw her, their expressions and reactions were exactly the same as Xun Sanlang's.

General Xun came back to his senses first, and smiled politely: "Yue Niang has grown up so much, she looks more and more like your mother."

She smiled and saluted the two of them as seniors.

Several people sat down, greeted each other and said some polite words, Tang Xiaoshi asked casually: "Is Xun Erlang at the house?"

The members of the Xun family looked at each other in blank dismay.

Before the Xun family could find a suitable excuse to explain, she first explained the purpose of coming here today.

Wei'er held the brocade box in her hands to the hands of General Xun and his wife.

She opened the mouth and said: "Uncle Xun, Aunt Xun, the marriage of Xun Mu's family is now rumored in the city, and my niece understands what Xun Erlang is thinking. Although my niece is not talented, she is still a little ashamed, and she dare not lick her face again. Enter the door of Xun's house."

Qi Qiran said: "My niece has a bad life. She has no parents and no siblings. I can only come to the door to talk about this matter. In the brocade box is the token jade pendant given by my uncle and aunt when they made a marriage contract with my parents. , Now my niece is here to return it. I also hope that my uncle and aunt can return the token from my parents to my niece, so that my niece can have a peaceful life in the future and will no longer be criticized by others."

As she spoke, she intentionally held back a little tear, her appearance was so pitiful that one couldn't help but feel pity in one's heart.
