Chapter 31: Assassination
The Zhizhou Mansion is located in the east of the city, which has always been the place where the noble and rich families live, and it is not very far from the Xi family.
Xi Yunzhi asked the guy to hire an ordinary sedan chair for her, not because the distance was too far to walk, but in the eastern boundary of the city, if you go to visit any mansion and don't take the sedan chair, it is estimated that even the porter will not want to go in for you to report.
Xi Yunzhi came to the outside of the Zhizhou Mansion and saw a carriage from Xifu parked outside, Lao Yan, who was driving the car, knew her and was an honest man, so he jumped down from the car to greet her, Xi Yunzhi then knew that the carriage was driven by the fourth aunt to visit her daughter.
Xi Yunzhi asked the porter to go in to report, and after a while, someone came and took her to the courtyard where Xi Yunxiu lived.
The area of Zhizhou Mansion is not as large as the Xi family, but the inside is extremely magnificent, even the random stones placed in front of the water pavilion are transported from foreign lands, rugged and scattered, the flowers and plants in the garden are even more rare species, in front of the courtyard where Xi Yunxiu lives, there is a piece of land enclosed with a pole high-speed rail fence, and there are two snow-white white tigers in the fence, according to the servant who led the way, it is their young master who likes to raise these wild and untamable beasts.
Sent to the courtyard door, a maid came to contact, Xi Yunzhi knew this time that the rules of the Zhizhou Mansion were strict, and these servants were absolutely not allowed to enter the master's courtyard.
The maid had a cold face, as if there was one more expression, and the mask on her face would crack, and she walked in front of her to lead the way, lifeless and depressing.
Before entering, Xi Yunzhi heard a hysterical female voice:
"They all came to abuse me. Now even my mother has come to abuse me, go, you go. ”
Not long after finishing speaking, I saw a crying woman being kicked out of the hall door, and the fourth aunt, who had always been weak and crying, couldn't cry anymore, and stood outside and said something inside, because the voice was too soft, Xi Yunzhi didn't hear it.
I saw that after the fourth aunt finished speaking, she turned around and left, walked down the steps, crossed the path and was about to go out, but when she saw Xi Yunzhi standing there, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then she restrained her crying a little, Xi Yunzhi blessed her body, and without waiting for her to ask, she said:
"Sister Yunxiu ordered a few pieces of jewelry in our store for me to send over, but my aunt came to visit my sister?"
The fourth aunt Zhou lowered her head and tucked the corners of her eyes, unwilling to show her sadness in front of this younger generation who had little intersection in the past, shook her head and said coldly:
"yes. I heard that she is not feeling well these days, so I came to see her. Since she called you to come, you should accompany her, don't make her angry again, you know? ”
Xi Yunzhi listened to the words of the fourth aunt, and only felt a helpless despair, and quietly blessed her body:
"Yes."
After the fourth aunt left, the maid who took Xi Yunzhi into the hospital stepped forward to report that Xi Yunzhi waited for a full cup of tea in the courtyard before being greeted by Rou'er, who had an unkind face.
I saw Xi Yunxiu sitting in front of the dressing mirror with red eyes, as if she had cried, although she was wearing a brocade dress and exquisite makeup, it was not difficult to see.
Xi Yunzhi stood by a crystal bead curtain and waited, Xi Yunxiu glanced at Rou'er, and then called Xi Yunzhi in front of her, after Xi Yunzhi passed, standing behind her, he took the initiative to go up and coil her hair for her, and the words were homely:
"I met the fourth aunt before, and she said that my sister was not happy?"
Xi Yunxiu looked at herself in the mirror blankly, did not speak, Xi Yunzhi glanced up at her, then took out a set of gold leaf willow leaf hairpins from the treasure chest on the side, and placed them next to Xi Yunxiu's temples one by one, as if she didn't see anything unusual at all:
"I met Rou'er on the street yesterday, and she said that you have a cold, and now is the time when the seasons change, my sister should be careful."
Just as she said this, Xi Yunxiu suddenly turned around, fortunately, Xi Yunzhi collected it quickly, otherwise it would not be a joke to draw a sharp hairpin on her face.
"Do you know something?" Xi Yunxiu's voice was ethereal, like a soulless puppet talking, and her eyes were dark and frightening.
Xi Yunzhi looked directly into her eyes and said ordinarily, "What do you know?" Sister, didn't you ask me to deliver something to you? This hairpin ......"
Xi Yunzhi wanted to resolve her inexplicable anger, so she sent the hairpin to her, Xi Yunxiu took it, played with it in her hand for a while, and walked into the flower hall like a ghost, even if the crystal bead curtain hooked her long hair, she was unconscious, and her steps were vain.
Xi Yunzhi followed behind him, but suddenly Xi Yunxiu turned around, raised his hand and stabbed Xi Yunzhi with a hairpin, Xi Yunzhi was shocked, and subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and the sharp hairpin cut a cut on her elbow, only to see Xi Yunxiu vent to her like crazy:
"You must know. You're here to make fun of me, aren't you? What are you? Who doesn't know that you Xi Yunzhi is not even as good as a dog in the Xi family, why are you laughing at me? ”
Xi Yunxiu was completely crazy, she was yelling and chasing after Xi Yunzhi, as if she wanted to vent her dissatisfaction in her heart:
"You are just a cheap seed in life, I can't move others, but you and I can move. Get out of here, get over here and beg for mercy with me! Kneel in front of me, crawl and kneel, or I will let the officials raid your house and burn down your broken house, hahahaha. ”
“……”
Xi Yunzhi didn't understand why Xi Yunxiu became like this, she hid for a while, Xi Yunxiu didn't chase after her, she stood there with a crazy smile, Rou'er took advantage of her standing still, so she hurriedly went up and hugged Xi Yunxiu, crying and saying:
"Miss, don't do this."
Xi Yunxiu glanced down at Rou'er, with a smile on her face, she actually raised her hand and tied it to Rou'er's back with a hairpin:
"What are you, a slave who is inferior to a pig and a dog, and you dare to climb on my head and sprinkle it when you give you a good face on weekdays? See that I don't stab you, stab you. ”
Rou'er was stabbed in the back several times, bleeding nonstop, and was pushed to the ground by Xi Yunxiu, stepping on her back and continuing to kick and scream.
Xi Yunzhi looked outside the courtyard, there were more than a dozen servants and maids standing in the huge courtyard, all of them turned a blind eye to what was happening in the house, as if they hadn't heard Xi Yunxiu's madness and Rou'er's screams at all.
Xi Yunzhi had no choice but to rush forward and grab Xi Yunxiu's hand, and shouted:
"If you hit her again, you're going to die. Stop it. ”
She really didn't expect things to happen like this, she thought that Xi Yunxiu was just here to ask her to send something, and by the way, she used words to insult her, but she didn't expect that there would be such a scene, and she saw blood.
She tried her best to save Rou'er from Xi Yunxiu's feet, the two stood outside the door with scars, Xi Yunxiu still wanted to chase them out, at this time, the servants and maids in the courtyard made a move, and more than a dozen people all rushed to block Xi Yunxiu who stepped out of the door.
Rou'er then covered her chest and abdomen and said to Xi Yunzhi:
"Thank you, Miss, for saving your life. You go back first, and I'll send you back another day what you left behind. ”
Xi Yunzhi nodded, knowing that this place was the Zhizhou Mansion, not a place where she could stay in charge for a long time, so she left-
After returning to the shop and explaining, Xi Yunzhi went home to clean the wound.
After the husband and Zhao Yi came back from Nanning, they were generally in the northern suburbs camp during the day, and the old lady was generally in the backyard, and the cousins had already all moved to the houses behind the embroidery workshop, Ruyi and Ruyue also followed the old mother to the street to buy vegetables, and when she returned to the yard, the house was empty, and there was no one.
She sat on the bench in the yard, lifted the cuffs of her clothes, and looked at the wound, it was not very serious, as if she had been scraped by a branch, the slender wound should be cured for a few days, but the blood stains on her body were a little terrifying, most of them were from Rou'er.
Who expected that as soon as the well water was brought up, he saw Zhao Yi go home, Xi Yunzhi had time to ask him what he was doing when he came back, and saw Zhao Yi glance at her twice, and then, in shock, turned around and got on the horse, Xi Yunzhi chased out with a water scoop, but he couldn't catch up, looking at his back in the dust, Xi Yunzhi felt a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for her to clean her wounds, go to the room to change her clothes, and before she could button her coat, Bu Qin pushed the door in with a cold face, and wanted to untie Yunzhi's shirt without saying anything.
Xi Yunzhi naturally refused, and grabbed his collar to prevent him from pulling it away: "Husband, what are you doing?" It's still ...... What about during the day? ”
She thought that her husband suddenly came back just to do that, and her cheeks were crimson with shame.
Bu Qin looked at her coldly, Xi Yunzhi had to admit that her husband was indeed a little afraid when he didn't speak with a cold face, and that look was like a big knife hanging over your head, and there was a sense of threat that would split you in half anytime and anywhere.
"Take it off."
Xi Yunzhi still wanted to resist: "But, it's ......"
Step by step back, but it was in the middle of the middle, and sat down on the bed, Bu Qin simply didn't do anything, pulled the curtain down, he also got into the tent, and peeled Xi Yunzhi off the slick after three times and five divided by two, and after a careful inspection, he fell on her elbow with a heavy gaze, and asked in a cold voice:
"What is this?"
Xi Yunzhi looked at her elbow, and finally understood the reason why her husband did this, it must be that when Zhao Yi went home, he saw her covered in blood, thinking that she was injured multiple times, so he hurriedly turned around and reported it to his husband, and the husband didn't know why, so he rushed back.
After figuring out this layer, Xi Yunzhi couldn't help laughing, withdrew the hand that was grabbed by her husband, and covered the spring light on her chest with the clothes he took off, and then said angrily:
"I accidentally got scraped by a hairpin, it's not a big deal."
Bu Qin didn't speak, but looked at Xi Yunzhi with his eyes, and saw that her expression was as usual, and there were indeed no other wounds on her body, so he softened his expression, pulled her elbow in front of him again, and licked it with his tongue a few times without thinking about it.
The warm and slippery touch made Xi Yunzhi's face red, and he stared at Bu Tan with an unbelievable look of shock, but Bu Qin explained seriously:
"Saliva heals wounds, and that's how beasts heal."
“……”
Xi Yunzhi held back a full smile, and his eyes narrowed happily: "Husband, do you say that I am a beast, or are you a beast?" ”
“……”
Bu Qin frowned, his temper suddenly came, and he pulled Xi Yunzhi's hand that wanted to tie the knot in his belly pocket, and quickly pressed it under him, not angry and arrogant:
"Who allowed you to look at me with such defiant eyes?"
Xi Yunzhi couldn't cry or laugh: "Husband, I don't have it." ”
Bu Qin had a cold face and said persistently: "You have." It's this kind of idiot look, you're provoking me! ”
"......" The more Xi Yunzhi looked at him, the more he wanted to laugh: "I really don't have it." ”
Bu Qin looked at her smiling like a flower under him, like a dead little sheep that was not cleaned up, and wanted to slip away when she slapped the tiger's buttocks, but there was no door.
Pressing her resisting little hand, and one hand came to her knee, Xi Yunzhi realized what he wanted to do, he was simply bullying and distorting the facts, in order to show animal desire, he couldn't help shaking his waist and trying to escape:
"Didn't you just do it a few times last night? My waist is still sore. The more she tried to escape, the more Bu Qin pressed in, exhaling hot air in her ear.
"I'm teaching you not to provoke a man with more strength than you, you know?"
“……”
Xi Yunzhi was too lazy to listen to his explanation, and the helplessness of wanting to cry without tears had been replaced by enthusiasm.
