Chapter 013 Eavesdropping

　　Xie Yiyi sniffed and argued sharply, "How could there not be? My uncle said that my aunt and cousin both have blue eyes!" After saying this, as if to seek certainty, he turned to Xie Shuning, "Ah Ban you say, am I right?" 　　"Brother said yes." Xie Shuning did not hesitate for a second, unconditionally affirming Xie Yiyi's words. 　　This was her elder brother, the elder brother that she had managed to meet again only after she had re-lived her life, she naturally would never make him feel powerless in front of the others. 　　On the contrary, Xie Chen, see Xie Yiyi a look of urgency, can not help but soften his voice: "I ...... I have no other meaning ......" 　　Xie Yiyi, however, refused to appreciate, and only looked away, "You don't understand!" 　　Xie Shuning pursed her lips and smiled, her brother, in the end, is still young, even if again understand how well-behaved and how, the left is still a child's nature. She quietly surveyed Xie Chen again, a face with clear eyebrows, but there was some nervousness between his brows. 　　"Fifth young master is so knowledgeable at such a young age, it's really rare." Seeing that the situation was slightly stagnant, mama Li hurriedly rounded up the situation. Thinking that children love to hear flattery, she took the lead in praising Xie Yiyi. But when she said, she secretly muttered in her heart, this Song even has a blue-eyed nephew, this is not a monster! Can't help but be surprised and terrified. 　　"I'm going back." Xie Chen hung his head, do not know what he was thinking, said softly and turned around and threw the curtain out. 　　Because he left in a hurry, a gust of wind and snow was brought in when the curtain fell. 　　Mrs. Li rushed over to rearrange the curtain and blocked the doorway tightly before approaching the hot bed. 　　Xie Shuning only watched with cold eyes, ignoring the stifling heat in the room that made people breathless, and quietly thought about her thoughts. 　　In her previous life, she only had one word for Xie Chen: "Disgusted". 　　In the beginning, Song has a pair of children with her and her brother, Chen's nothing out of this single power. But Chen's knees still have a Xie Chen in, although only heir, in the end, is also her son. In this way, Chen's waist inexplicably straightened again. 　　However, only two years after Chen gave birth to Xie Shumin, she had another son. 　　Since then, Xie Chen's status as the heir apparent in the third house became awkward. He was the son of Xie Yuanmao and Chen, but he wasn't a proper son, and with a proper young master in the house, what was he to be considered? 　　Later on, she finally learned to be smart enough to please her uncle's grandmother and was taken to the eldest house. But Xie Chen, but only in the third house day by day difficult to live. 　　Now that I think about it, Xie Chen is just a poor man. 　　Thinking about it, Xie Shuning felt depressed in her heart and simply pulled the quilt over her head and lay down. 　　"Ah Ban, you want to sleep again?" Xie Yiyi saw this and couldn't help but say in surprise. 　　Xie Shuning answered with a muffled voice through the quilt. 　　Xie Yiyi then said, "Then you sleep, I'm going to find father." 　　Father liked her more than brother, but brother liked father more than mother. Xie Shuning knew that he hadn't seen his father for half a year, and now he didn't want to be away from people, so she gave up the idea of letting him nestle in the bed with her, and peeked out half a head from the quilt to see him off. 　　Rosebud naturally went to see him off, and there was only one other person left in the room, Mrs. Li. 　　Xie Shuning felt annoyed when she looked at her, "I'm going to sleep, you can go out too." 　　The soft child's voice carried an unconcealable annoyance, mother Li was stunned for a moment, before staring at the arching quilt and pursing her lips, walking out. Outside the snow seems to be a little bigger, Li mom separated from the far look at two eyes, turned his head and ordered to guard the door of the two little maids said: "are careful with some!" 　　After saying this, seeing the two little maids of the Xie family responding, she then turned around and walked in the direction of the main room. 　　Xie Shuning in the room, however, kept her eyes open hiding in the darkness. 　　Only separated by the bed quilt, it seemed to have become two worlds. 　　One bright and one dark, clearly separated. 　　She sighed, lifted a corner of the quilt and sat up, pursing her lips tightly as she looked out the window through the thick cellophane, where blurry silhouettes were flying past. 　　Xie Shuning recalled that the sudden appearance of Xie Chen just now was clearly out of Mama Li's expectation, so this would be the time when Mama Li must have been unable to resist going to report the news to Chen. 　　"Pearl, did you see how crazy mama Li was just now? She is just a lackey like us, but she seems to be superior, which makes people angry!" 　　"Be careful, don't let anyone hear it." 　　"What are you afraid of, we have few people in this room, this time they all went to the front where there will be no one here!" 　　"Keep your voice down, the eighth miss is still asleep inside ......" 　　"Not to mention that she is asleep, is awake so what, that so big girl can understand what?" The tone of voice is still anxious, but the voice is gradually lowered, "Moreover, I heard my mother said, the old lady although promised the six masters this matter and so on after the year to say, but on the inside of that, how the future can only be a concubine out of ......" 　　"This ...... how do you know? Your mother told you?" 　　"How can ah, I heard my mother and the old lady side of the autumn happy sister talk the other day, heard. By the way, you mustn't tell anyone." 　　"Okay, okay, you can pretend that I'm that saw-mouth gourd, and I'll make sure that I won't reveal a single word." 　　"......" 　　Xie Shuning listened quietly, always feeling that something was wrong, but for a moment she couldn't figure out where. Thinking about it, sleepiness inexplicably surged up again. She had contracted a wind chill on the way to the capital, and although she is now well, she is still thirsty for sleep. She grabbed the quilt, upper and lower eyelids fight, not a moment actually fell asleep again. 　　Waiting to wake up again, it has been to the time of the lamp. 　　The candles on the table seem to have only been lit, the yellow light is not too harsh. 　　She was lying there, eyes open, but it was like a lifetime ago. 　　Ear gradually rustling footsteps, and then she saw her mother in front of her eyes bent down. Mother changed into a cherry grass color satin fox skin jacket, the color is out of the ordinary set off her skin white snow, face like peaches and plums. When she moved, the jadeite earrings in her ears swayed in front of Xie Shuning's eyes. 　　The transparent water color was so transparent that it could almost be seen over the candle wicks at the back. 　　"Is Ah Ban sleeping uncomfortably?" Song said softly, "This kang must not be used to sleeping, so later on, it's better to move to the bed. Luckily, at this time of the year, the north has everything that the south has, so we'll get used to it in a few days." 　　Listening to her mother speak in detail, not knowing whether she was comforting her or herself, Xie Shuning smiled. 　　What was she worried about? 　　Her mother was still alive, and her brother was still alive. 　　Everything would only get better, so what was she worried about? 　　She jumped into Song's arms through the covers, and with a raspy voice that had only just woken up from sleep, she said, "Mother ......" 　　"What's wrong?" Song's embraced her and said with slight confusion. 　　As she spoke, mother Gui brought over a steaming bowl of shredded chicken congee, scooped up a spoonful and blew it cool and fed it to Xie Shuning, "Miss try it, your favorite congee, young master also drank two bowls of it at night." 　　Song took it and fed it to Xie Shuning herself, while instructing Mama Gui, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the longhouse to pay my respects to the two elders, and you will help me take out the mahogany box and bring it over tomorrow."
