The scenery of Xiyuan is the most beautiful in the entire Gu Mansion, quiet and elegant, but the location is far away.

She was very happy with the residence that the old lady arranged for Xiao Ziran, because Xiyuan was far away from the residences of those young masters and ladies, and her ears were usually clean.

Xiao Ziran's basic necessities of life were well taken care of, and the old lady was really hard and soft in order to get the property of the Xiao family.

Since the last time I leaned in front of the door and listened to the conversation between the old lady and Gu Chengcheng, the thought of revenge in Xiao Ziran's heart has never stopped.

Xiao Ziran stood in front of the window, stretched out his hand and opened the window, a gust of warm wind came towards him, and a half-yellow and half-green leaf fell on the window sill, looking weak.

"The wind is blowing." Xiao Ziran narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

Since that day, Si Qin has never appeared in the mansion again. Even if something happened to her, even though the maids serving her in the courtyard didn't know what happened, they all seemed to be in peace.

Xiao Ziran raised his head, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and closed the window gently, with a beautiful arc drawn at the corner of his mouth.

Following the wind, Xiao Ziran walked towards Rong Le Hall.

"This tea is too weak, let's make another pot stronger." The old lady frowned and said to the servants.

"Yes..." The servant girl held the tea in a low voice and was about to back away, "I met Miss Biao." She almost bumped into Xiao Ziran.

"As you get older, it's better to drink light tea. If it's too strong, you can't go to bed at night." Xiao Ziran even omitted the old lady's honorific title, and while talking, he stepped into the door with a faint smile.

"Sister Ran, come here." The old lady returned to her previous amiable face, as if she had forgotten that a farce happened here a few days ago.

Xiao Ziran responded lightly, and then came to the old lady's side.

In this deep house, the scale of intrigue must be grasped well.Xiao Ziran was greatly "wronged" by the turmoil in the past few days, so even if there is a plan, he can't get too close to the old lady, otherwise it will appear too deliberate.Of course, you can't be too distant, otherwise you won't be able to get any news.

What's more, the old lady is such a vigilant person, Xiao Ziran has to walk on the tip of the knife to avoid falling into the abyss.

"How is your health? The stimulation you received before was not light." Xiao Ziran said in official language.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, don't look at my age, my body is still very strong." The old lady wanted to reach out to grab Xiao Ziran's hand, but she avoided it cleverly.

Xiao Ziran poured a cup of tea and brought it to the old lady.For this cup of weak tea that she didn't like to drink, she still took it.

"This time I surprised you. There are always troublemakers in the Gu residence, so I can't control it." The old lady shook her head and put down the teacup in her hand.

"Don't worry, it's all from my own family." Xiao Ziran said with a blank expression, "Grandma, in fact, I'm here today to tell you about the Xiao family."

It was rare to use such an intimate tone, and the old lady was not used to it.This is not an important matter. After hearing what Xiao Ziran said, the old lady had already anticipated what she wanted to say, and immediately planned in her heart how to respond.

"The Xiao family is also the Gu family, we are all one family." The old lady showed a very kind smile.

Xiao Ziran sneered, feeling disgusted by the old face in front of him who didn't agree with what he said.

"Since I was tied up, I have been recuperating in Gu's family. Thanks to your care, my body is now in good condition. I can't be idle like this. It's time to take over the things and shops left by my parents. , what do you say, grandmother?"

The old lady felt a chill down her spine from Xiao Ziran's gaze, her eyes had a strong sense of oppression.

"I've been thinking about this matter. Because of your poor health, I ordered people from the Gu family to take over for you. These people are also my cronies, and they all run the store in an orderly manner..."

"I didn't ask this." Xiao Ziran directly interrupted the old lady's words, "You are the head of the family, I believe you can manage the Xiao family's shop well, but after all, my parents left all these to me, you You are also a reasonable person, so you should leave all these to me."

Facing Xiao Ziran's straightforward words, the old lady felt for the first time that this girl was not simple, not as thoughtless as before.But I wondered in my heart, was it just an unintentional statement?

"Grandmother?"

Xiao Ziran felt the uneasiness in the expression of the old man in front of him, and felt amused in his heart, thinking that this is gone?

"It's natural, it's natural. It's just that too many things have happened in recent days. I already knew what you said, but it was put on hold." The old lady hurriedly took a sip of the light drink on the table. Tea.

There was a soft knock on the door.

"Who?" The old lady was always so vigilant.

"Old lady, your tea is ready."

"Oh, come in." The old lady said while looking down at the empty teacup in front of her, with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Xiao Ziran quietly drank the tea in his hand, calmly, and after the maid went out, he immediately said: "By the way, grandma, let me ask again, have you seen the account book I brought from home together? "

"Oh, the account book, I didn't pay much attention to it, maybe it's on Zhuangzi, I'll have someone bring it to you in two days." The old lady said perfunctorily.

This account book has been held in the hands of the old lady, but she will not give it to Xiao Ziran so easily.

"So that's the case." Although Xiao Ziran didn't believe it in his heart, he had no other choice at this time.If you open it up and say it, you have nothing to prove, and you can only end up in vain.

"Grandmother, take a sip of tea and rest. I will disturb you today. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Xiao Ziran poured a cup of strong tea for the old lady before leaving.

"It doesn't matter." The old lady took the teacup.

Coming out of Rongle Hall, I saw Xiaoyu holding a cloak and waiting outside the yard from a distance. Although Xiaoyu is serving her by her side now, Xiaoyu is only a third-class maid after all, and she is not from the old lady. , naturally wouldn't take the initiative to mention it for her.

Xiao Ziran had a heart, but was rejected by Xiaoyu.

She's right, it's better not to attract attention for nothing now.

Approaching Xiaoyu, let her fasten her cloak, and then said: "The wind is blowing, let's go back."

As soon as he returned to Xiyuan, Xiao Ziran sent Xiaoyu out, locked himself in the room, and quietly thought about the conversation with the old lady just now.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

This old lady is like an old fox, there is a hole waiting for her behind every sentence, no matter what, she can't bet all her treasures on the old lady's side.

It is still necessary to seize the opportunity and force the old lady well.

She looks fine now, but in reality, there is nothing.
