Chapter 69: Choice
Situ Ningbing obviously said what Red Sleeves was thinking, she suddenly raised her head to look at her, the consternation in her eyes flashed and disappeared, replaced by bitter hatred. But in exchange for a burst of ridicule from Situ Ningbing, after laughing, he looked at her like a fool, "Your master is also a smart person, how can there be a fool like you under his hands? As for your master..."Situ Ningbing deliberately lengthened his tone, "I also want to know if he really attaches so much importance to love and righteousness? For you to turn his face against me? If you really want to use your life to verify it, I will definitely fully cooperate, and you can choose the location and method!" Situ Ningbing has never been a kind-hearted person, and her compassion is even more limited.
"What is my sister-in-law doing with such ignorant things?" Li Jiazhi didn't know when he came, but he seemed to hear the conversation between Situ Ningbing and Red Sleeves, and before he even stepped into the room, he took the lead in saying that "a board is sold! If my brother asks, he will say that I am the master! I still don't believe it, he can take me for a maid... Oops!" When passing by the side of the red sleeves, Li Jiazhi seemed to have stepped on something, slipped and fell to the sky, and the two maids behind him quickly helped him, otherwise he would have fallen so wolf in front of the maids and servants in the house, and it was estimated that he would have no face for a few days.
When he saw a piece of melon under his feet, he immediately complained dissatisfiedly: "Sister-in-law! The people who serve in your house are too careless, and you don't know how to clean up the melons when they fall to the ground! Now that you are in charge of the house, why don't you find a few people who can use it?"
He didn't need Situ Ningbing's order to shout like this, Hongluan automatically stepped forward to clean up the melon, and secretly wondered in his heart, where did this melon come from? Why didn't you see it?
In fact, she is not to blame, the red sleeves just made such a fuss, and everyone's attention was on her, plus Situ Ningbing shot very quickly, so she naturally ignored the melon that she used as a secret weapon to hit the acupoints on the red sleeves' legs.
Knowing that Li Jiazhi was just talking casually, Situ Ningbing didn't bother to answer, and asked directly: "Do you have something to do with me?" Although her relationship with Li Jiazhi has improved a lot after Lin Kun's incident, she doesn't think that they are familiar enough to visit each other, and Li Jiazhi is not Li Shuning, there is a difference between men and women, no matter how stupid he is, he should know how to avoid suspicion.
Li Jiazhi showed a flattering smile, "It's okay, I just heard that my sister-in-law is a little angry these days, so I asked the maid to stew a cup of bird's nest for you, nourishing yin and dryness, nourishing qi." As he spoke, he gave Pan Xia a look beside him.
Pan Xia took out a white porcelain stew pot and a white jade bowl with a jade spoon from the food box carried by Xiao Man, another maid who came with him, and respectfully placed them on the low table next to Situ Ningbing.
Li Jiazhi personally poured the bird's nest in the stew pot into the white jade bowl, and pushed it in front of Situ Ningbing with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you eat a bowl of bird's nest to moisten your throat first, and I will help you solve this girl's matter!" Li Jiazhi and Li Jiayi are close to the natural love house and Wu, and they have always been good to the people around his brother, except for the red sleeves and green clothes. Maybe it's because Aunt Zhang's shadow is too deep for him, and he has an instinctive disgust for the green clothes like Aunt Zhang, who looks gentle and obedient as a girl in the room, and it can be summed up in one sentence: Whether you are a good person or a bad person, I just don't like you! As for the red sleeves, it's not so complicated, how can a master like a girl who doesn't put himself in his eyes? For this, Li Jiayi has not said bad things about the red sleeves in front of Li Jiayi, but Li Jiayi has never done the same thing, but he has to eat the red sleeves every time he goes to get Yuxuan, and he has endured this anger for many years!
"The lame man who raised horses in our house just died of his daughter-in-law, so he can let the red sleeves fill the house for him!" Li Jiazhi felt that his idea was very good, and smiled at Situ Ningbing. He was an immature teenager who didn't realize how cruel his prank-like so-called "clever plan" could be for a woman.
"No!!" Red Sleeves let out a terrible scream, "I won't marry Fang Cripple if I die!!" said and struggled to stand up, apparently trying to hit the wall again.
"Okay! don't look for death and life!" Situ Ningbing frowned impatiently, "I'll give you another chance, take five hundred taels of silver out of the mansion and give you back your freedom, if you still don't want to, then you should seek death and seek death!
If Red Sleeves originally had the courage to seek death, but after listening to Situ Ningbing's ridicule, she was also a little sober, what if she died here? There are many unjust souls in the inner courtyard of this deep house, and who has complained about them for them? Childe? Over the years, she has always thought that Childe treats her differently, otherwise she will not tolerate her presumptuousness, but as soon as he turned around, he handed over his deed to the young lady, does he really care about himself? Red Sleeves does not dare to gamble with his life, what if he wins the bet? She is no longer there, and it is someone else who stays by Childe's side. If she loses the bet, then she will be a complete joke for the rest of her life!
Seeing that Red Sleeves has not spoken, Green Yi is secretly anxious for her, although there will be some petty discord between them and occasionally jealousy, but in the end, they are sisters for many years, Green Yi is afraid that Red Sleeves will not end well if she drills the tip of the horns, so she hurriedly held her hand and persuaded: "Red Sleeves, you quickly agree! The young lady treats us well, five hundred taels of silver plus your savings over the years are enough for you to chew for a lifetime, no matter what, living is the most important thing!"
When Red Sleeves heard this, tears poured out again, but this time she closed her eyes and hid all her unwilling resentment and despair, and choked up in resignation: "I'll just leave the house!"
The matter of the two maids finally came to an end, and Situ Ningbing had the leisure to eat the blood swallows sent by Li Jiashu, no matter how you say it, it is also a good thing that should not be wasted.
"Sister-in-law, did you just leave the house with red sleeves?" Li Jiazhi was a little wilted when his plan failed.
Situ Ningbing concentrated on eating bird's nest and ignored him.
Li Jia was unwilling, and continued to fan the flames: "Red sleeves are the most favored big girl in my brother's house, usually I don't even pay attention to me, you must have suffered a lot, it's too cheap for her to let her out of the house like this, or my idea is to marry her to Fang Cripple, first, to take revenge, and second, Fang Cripple died, and the daughter-in-law has two children at home who are not taken care of, which is quite pitiful, let's do a good deed." ”
Situ Ningbing finally couldn't listen to it anymore, put down the jade spoon and looked straight at Li Jiazhi, with a kind of reproach in his tone, "Your so-called good thing is to marry a young girl to a lame widower?"
Li Jiazhi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her words, but she looked at her as a little weak but still retorted in a low voice: "Aren't I thinking of killing two birds with one stone!"
"You don't call killing two birds with one stone, you are using Fang Cripple as a torture instrument!" Situ Ningbing is not a kind and upright person, she can do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, and she can sacrifice and use anyone without hesitation when necessary, but she has a strange principle, that is, she will never hurt a person without a purpose and only her own likes and dislikes, and she will respect others as much as possible when conditions permit. Because of the unpleasant experience of being given to the prince by the emperor when he was a child, Situ Ningbing especially respected his personal wishes, especially the wishes of women, in the word marriage, even if this respect was conditional and seemed very hypocritical. But she still can't tolerate Li Jia's rebuke, I don't like you, so I want to match you to a "Wu Dalang" idea, I always feel that even I have been insulted by myself! The tone unconsciously became stern, "If you really pity Fang Cripple, give him more silver and find a willing woman to fill the room for him, like Red Sleeves, who are unwilling to make do with it, will only hurt two people! Red Sleeves make a mistake, you can beat, scold, or even sell, but don't use marriage as a punishment!"
Li Jia scolded her for seeing that she was solemn, although she didn't understand very well, she nodded seriously, "Sister-in-law, I know, I won't say such bastard words in the future, don't be angry." ”
Situ Ningbing calmed down and suddenly felt that he seemed to be making a big fuss, so he changed the topic and said: "At this time, you won't come here to send me bird's nest, and you won't be so bored that you just want to clean up a maid, let's say, what's the matter?"
Li Jia scolded the maids and servants who were waiting in the house, and said mysteriously: "Sister-in-law, can you tell them to go down first, I have something to say to you." ”
Situ Ningbing didn't ask much, and directly withdrew a group of maids and servants, and only ordered Hongluan to stay, and Su Yun guarded outside the house.
Li Jiazhi also only left his henchman Pan Xia in the house, and Xiaoman, another maid who came with him, retreated with everyone.
When everyone left, Li Jiazhi lowered his voice and said impatiently to Situ Ningbing: "Sister-in-law, I suspect that you and your mother were almost smashed on the day the third sister left the pavilion, and this matter is not only Li Yuanxiang's idea alone, but it may also have something to do with Han Gong!"
"How do you know?" Situ Ningbing felt that with Li Jiazhi's paragraph, the probability of Han Gong making trouble behind his back was very low just by guessing, and someone told him something.
