Chapter 60: Imprint
The next day, Ji got up early, and after breakfast, Ziji was in the courtyard, and suddenly saw Xiao Shi coming over with two maids from a distance, so she greeted her, and called her slightly, and respectfully called: "Aunt Xiao."
Xiao said: "No need to be polite."
Ziji straightened up, and Xiao Shi said: "Su ......" She paused, clearly a little evasive, and then said: "What about Tao Ge, has she ever gotten up?"
Seeing Xiao like this, Ziji knew it, it seemed that Aunt Xiao didn't want to make Tao Ge's matter public, no wonder Tao Ge was angry yesterday and said such cruel things again.
Ziji seemed to be teasing, and said: "Tao Ge has always loved to lie in bed, if she doesn't get up until the third pole of the day, she will definitely not get up."
Xiao Shi smiled when she heard this, but didn't reply, obviously she didn't like to hear others say this, she just turned around and looked at the corridor, looked at the row of houses, and asked, "Which room does she live in?"
Ziji stretched out his hand and pointed to the front of Xiao Shi and said, "The middle room is."
Xiao Shi bowed slightly, and then walked, at first she knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside, she simply pushed the door in, Ziji did not go along, and the two maids did not follow.
She then closed the door again, and approached the back room lightly but not intentionally, but saw Tao Ge lying on the bookcase and falling asleep, she saw this, but she thought that Tao Ge had woken up in the morning, but she was sleepy at this time, so she fell asleep again, but Tao Ge did not sleep all night, and did not close her eyes until the fifth watch.
Tao Ge is holding a wood carving in his hand, the wood carving is his mother Yang, this wood carving is left by his father before he died, and it is the only thing Tao Ge took away when he left the Xiao family four years ago!
Xiao saw the wood carving. Inevitably, I felt sad for a while, and reached out to touch it gently. I wanted to take a closer look at the wood carving, but I didn't know how to come across the wood carving. Taogo woke up.
Tao Ge woke up and saw that she was going to take the wood carving, so she immediately stood up, held the wood carving tightly, and protected it in front of her, Xiao frowned, quite sad, and called in a low voice: "Su Su ......"
She let out a low voice, but Taoge was still calm and light. said coldly: "Aunt Xiao is even the aunt of the house, but if you want to enter and leave someone's house, you should also inform in advance, not to mention that I am a guest of the prince, not a subordinate of the house!"
The voice was about to fall, and Xiao Shi called again: "Su Su ......"
Tao Ge was clearly reluctant to talk to her, and slammed the wood carving on the bookcase, looking at Xiao's eyes that had been drowned in tears quite fiercely.
Xiao Shi was startled and lowered his eyes to look at the wood carving. But he didn't intend to see a very obvious scar on the front of Taoge's right lower arm, about a finger length above the wrist.
The scar was about the size of a copper coin, and it was also in the shape of a copper coin, and it was even more protruding, and Xiao Shi looked at the scar. Shocking for a moment, she remembered, it was a brand. She branded Su Su with her own hands!
Tao Ge had seen that Xiao Shi was aware of the mark, but he did not dodge. Let her hold her wrist in fear, let her raise her arm. Let her take a closer look at her brand.
Xiao Shi looked at the brand, she was already in tears, she remembered that four years ago, Su Su knelt outside the Xiao family ancestral hall, under the pouring rain, drops of soybean-sized raindrops hit her, and a group of house slaves surrounded her and punched and kicked her.
And she, watching her sister being bullied and crying heartbreakingly, instead of helping, she stood in the ancestral hall, hiding behind the main mother and watching expressionlessly.
She still remembered that Su Su was beaten all over her body but still refused to leave the Xiao family, so the hostess ordered someone to bring a soldering iron and hand it to her, asking her to go to the rain and leave a brand on Su Su's body with her own hands, to show that Su Su was a slave discarded by the Xiao family!
That's her sister-in-law! Where can she do it, but in order for herself to live in the Xiao family safely and soundly until she gets married, she walked into the rain without looking back, and pressed the soldering iron on Su Su's arm without hesitation......
Seeing Xiao Shi crying like this, Tao Ge sneered, she cried like this, but she was as heartbreaking as she was back then!
Xiao Shi raised his eyes, looked at Tao Ge, and choked up: "This scar, but the one from four years ago?"
Tao Ge withdrew his hand, looked at her, and said indifferently: "Since you know, why do you still ask me, this scar was given to me by you yourself, have you forgotten!" It's been four years, this scar has always been there, and it must never go away in this life, are you satisfied! You have lived in the Xiao family unharmed until the year of marriage, but why do you still expose my scars! ”
Xiao Shi's face was full of tears, and he couldn't help shaking his head and said, "No...... Susu, you misunderstood me, I was ...... back then"
Without waiting for her to say anything, Tao Ge immediately interrupted and reprimanded: "I know what you want to say, you must say that you have a hardship, I also know what your distress is, your distress is that you want to stay in the Xiao family!"
Speaking of this, Tao Ge sneered, "People don't kill for themselves, you do all this to stay in the Xiao family, I don't blame you, but don't come to me again, okay, you let me fend for myself, just like four years ago, don't care about my life or death!" ”
"Susu!" Xiao Shi grabbed her sleeve, but Tao Ge pushed her hand away and said, "Since you abandoned me back then, why are you looking for me now!" You're in Xiyuan, I'm in Nanyuan, and the two of us have nothing to do with each other! If you don't like me living in the palace with you, then I'll go! ”
Tao Ge said that, and immediately walked out of the house past her, but Xiao Shi did not chase her out, but stood in front of the bookcase and watched her walk away step by step.
Ziji always stood in the courtyard, and when she saw Taoge coming out of the door, she left angrily, and she stepped forward and called: "Taoge ......"
Unexpectedly, Tao Ge ignored her and walked in front of her, looking like he was going to leave the palace.
At that time, Tao Ge had already walked out of the North Garden, Zi Ji looked back at the house, saw Xiao with teary eyes, and secretly thought that it was better to use Tao Ge to please Xiao Shi, so he turned his head and looked in the direction where Tao Ge left, and made a gesture to call, how could he no longer see Tao Ge's figure, she had no choice, so she turned around and walked into the house, helped Xiao Shi, deliberately frowned, and called: "Aunt Xiao."
"Aunt Xiao, Tao Ge's temperament is not so strong, she must have remembered what happened four years ago, and she couldn't accept it for a while, if you get closer to her, she must be right with you in a few days."
Ziji said this, originally to cater to the Xiao family, but she didn't know that the Xiao family was defensive of her, glanced at her sideways, and said a little unkindly: "You heard it."
Xiao is like this, Ziji naturally did not expect it, since Xiao is like this, he must not want others to know Tao Ge's identity, Ziji said: "Aunt Xiao rest assured, today's matter, Ziji will not be revealed to others!" (To be continued.) )
