Chapter 228 Nangong Anshan's Attempt
"Today we have been actively approaching Miss Nangong, not her intentionally approaching us."
"Besides, we no longer have the glory we once had in the capital. What benefits do you think she can get by approaching us? Money? She can make a lot of money by relying on oil."
Xiao Rurong choked suddenly, and quickly explained: "Mother, I didn't mean that, I was just worried about everyone's safety. We just came here, so we must be more vigilant in everything we do. If we meet someone from the imperial court, our whole family will be compensated." what."
Tong Shuxuan's complexion improved when she heard the words, and said, "Don't worry, Miss Nangong is just a child, she has no evil intentions."
Xiao Rurong stopped talking immediately, and just stared at Nangong Anshan.
I don't know why, but she just felt that Nangong Anshan had ulterior motives in showing her handwriting and handkerchief in front of them when she asked those questions just now.
Nangong Anshan ignored Xiao Rurong, and asked again: "Auntie, then you all came here, your eldest daughter is alone in the capital now."
"Yeah." Tong Shuxuan said: "There is no other way, I want to bring her here too, but there are difficulties, and the ancestral graves of the Xiao family are all in the capital, so if you want to bring her, you have to bring other people. Ancestors, we can only leave her there temporarily, and we will go back to see her after the war subsides."
Nangong Anshan said: "So that's the case, are you still investigating the cause of her death?"
"Yes." Tong Shuxuan said: "Ah Yan has been persisting in the investigation, so when we came this time, we basically brought all the servants from the original Xiao Mansion here."
"I see."
Nangong Anshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that her family has not forgotten her, so it is not in vain that she has been so kind to Xiao Ruiyan and Xiao Ruishen.
Tong Shuxuan glanced at the handkerchief in her hand, and said very embarrassedly: "Sorry, Miss Nangong, I will return this handkerchief to you after I go back and wash it clean."
"No need." Nangong Anshan said: "I still have a lot of handkerchiefs, this one is also new, Auntie can dispose of it as she likes."
Tong Shuxuan glanced at the embroidery on the handkerchief, and after thinking about it for a while, she said, "Then thank you, miss."
This handkerchief has the same embroidery as the eldest daughter, she wants to keep it, and she will pay Nangong Anshan a more expensive handkerchief someday.
Tong Shuxuan saw that there were more and more guests in Yuquan Building, and the tables would soon run out, so she was embarrassed to take up the seat and skip eating, and said, "Miss Nangong, we are going out to have a look, and I will take a look at Shuang'er by the way." Where did you go, do you want to go out with us?"
Nangong Anshan said: "I have to wait for a while, there are too many guests, I'm worried that the cooks will mess up in their busy schedule, so I'd better go to the kitchen to watch."
"Okay, then I won't force Miss Nangong."
Tong Shuxuan walked out with her children after speaking.
Nangong Anshan took a look at the handwriting written by her younger brothers and sisters, and saw that their writing had improved. After putting it away, they gave up their seats together for other guests to sit.
She asked her younger siblings to sit behind the counter and practice calligraphy obediently for the time being, without going anywhere, and went to the kitchen by herself.
After Tong Shuxuan left Yuquan Tower, Xiao Rurong leaned in front of her.
Xiao Rurong said: "Mother, my daughter really thinks there is something wrong with that Nangong girl. You must not trust her too much."
Tong Shuxuan saw that she mentioned Nangong Anshan again, and asked, "Why do you have such great hostility towards Miss Nangong?"
Xiao Rurong said: "I...I just don't think there can be a woman similar to Eldest Sister in this world. I'm worried that she was sent by the group who harmed Eldest Sister to get close to you on purpose. I also think about your safety, mother."
"After all, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We are very passive in everything we do. If we are not careful, our family will probably be over in the future."
"On the way from the capital, we also encountered a lot of plots. I really only think about this family."
Hearing what she said, Tong Shuxuan's complexion improved a bit. Since she was thinking of the whole family, she didn't blame her.
Xiao Ruishen said: "Third sister, you are really overthinking. Sister Nangong is a good person and has no ill intentions towards us. We are not the same as before. What benefits can she get by deliberately approaching us?"
"Even if she has a purpose, she should get close to someone like Prince Li. We can be regarded as ordinary people now. She really won't get any benefit from approaching us."
"If you say she approached us for money, that's impossible. Sister Nangong's own two workshops can earn her hundreds of taels of silver every day."
"She is still cooperating with Prince Li to open a restaurant. Yuquanlou will give her 20% of her income every month. I heard that last month she earned 10,000 taels of silver from Yuquanlou alone."
"I heard that she is still selling vegetables, and she can sell at least a few dozen taels a day. She is not short of money at all. Tell me, what is she approaching us for?"
"This..." Xiao Rurong was startled, he didn't expect Nangong Anshan to be so rich.
It's incredible to be able to earn more than 10,000 taels of silver in a month.
Xiao Rurong said: "Ah Shen, how do you know so clearly about the situation in Miss Nangong's house?"
Xiao Ruishen said: "Of course it was my eldest brother who told me, and my eldest brother is not a fool. If someone who looks like Eldest Sister suddenly appears, he will definitely pay more attention to her and often inquire about her situation. But now, my eldest brother is just out of concern. She treats her like a sister, and I treat her like a sister, and I don't have any doubts about her."
Tong Shuxuan said: "So that's the case. From this point of view, the girl should really just be curious about our family."
Xiao Ruishen nodded: "That's right."
Tong Shuxuan said to Xiao Rurong: "Even if you have something to say in the future, don't say it in front of others. If Miss Nangong is really an enemy, won't you make her wary? If she breaks the can, she will directly attack us in the future. What should I do if I make a move? Ah Shen understood this truth at the age of ten, how many years older are you than him, why can't you see it clearly?"
Xiao Rurong said: "I know, I will never do this again."
She also slowed down a bit, slowly following behind Tong Shuxuan and Xiao Ruishen.
Is it really?
Does Nangong Anshan really have other plans?
After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of a reason, so she didn't think about it anymore, but she still didn't let go of her defense against Nangong Anshan.
It's all Nangong Anshan's fault, the aunt actually said that about her, she and Nangong Anshan are endless!
And Nangong Anshan has been in the kitchen supervising the cook's cooking, and stayed there for half an hour before coming out.
