Chapter 18: The Story
"That's not what I said, I'm all out of kindness to Sister Xi." Aunt He's voice was as innocent as ever, typical stepmother-style.
"I thank you for your kindness!" said that Yang had never been very polite to the He family, and at this time raised his voice and retorted: "We are clean here, even if there is anything unclean, we have to go to your Linlang Garden first, and gather like things!" ”
Aunt He blushed, and as soon as she saw Jiang Lingxi coming out of the house, the color in her eyes quickly put away, and switched to the appearance of a little white lotus, "Sister Xi, look at your girl, what do you look like when you yell at me like this!" ”
Jiang Lingxi looked at Yang and then at her, squinting his eyes and nodded, "Well, I'm used to it." ”
Ho: "......"
"Master Hua Xuan, don't come unharmed." Jiang Lingxi turned his gaze to Hua Xuan, "Haven't you always been responsible for sorting out the scriptures in Xunjing Nunnery, when did you start working part-time?" ”
Hua Xuan's face sank, and he gritted his teeth and said, "At the request of Master Qingyao, let's come and see the girl." ”
His eyes swept over Ruyi behind Jiang Lingxi, as if he was asking for her confirmation, and Ruyi immediately smiled: "There is such a thing." ”
Then his smile did not change, and he changed the conversation and said, "Master Qingyao also said that I want to learn from you." ”
So next, Qingfang Pavilion kept repeating such a conversation:
Hua Xuan: "Ruyi, if you're tired, go to the side and rest." ”
Ruyi: "(smiling) Master Qingyao asked me to learn from you. ”
Hua Xuan: "Then you little brother, you don't have to follow me all the time, right?" ”
Bai Zheng: "(Smile) Ruyi let me protect her." ”
Hua Xuan: "Miss Xi......"
Jiang Lingxi: "(Smile) You don't have to be restrained, it's the same as your own home." ”
Hua Xuan: "......"
Due to the strength of the trio, no matter what bad ideas Aunt He discussed with Hua Xuan, Hua Xuan couldn't do it. The plan went bankrupt, and Jiang Lingxi was quite looking forward to where the He family would go next.
However, seeing Xinmei pinching a paper bag and shaking it into Jiang Lingxi's rice bowl, she was directly fixed after being broken, and COS set up a sculpture, Jiang Lingxi really didn't know how to cry and laugh, but she was still angry.
The woman in the door of the mansion is so easy to be poor in donkey skills, and she can't change her tricks except for drugs?!
*
In Linlang Garden, He walked around the house with a handkerchief.
Suddenly, a girl broke in, and He immediately went over and grabbed her shoulders, "Qingfang Pavilion has a letter?" ”
The little girl's face was like ashes, and she trembled: "Miss Xi, Miss Xi ......"
"Miss Xi came over to see if Aunt He had any new dim sum made today." Jiang Lingxi came in and finished her words with a smile.
Aunt He's body stiffened, and she was stunned for a sentence or two, maybe her mind was blank, maybe there were hundreds of thoughts flashing quickly, and she couldn't say it clearly. I could only try to calm down and squeeze out a rhinoceros constipation-like smile, and I really didn't have the energy to think about anything else.
It was Jiang Lingxi, who walked to the table and sat down quite familiarly, poured himself a cup of tea, poured another cup and pushed it to He's side, and said leisurely: "I don't have snacks today, I'll tell my aunt a story and drink tea." ”
"The story is about a family, the young master has won the fame and married the young lady who is also a scholarly family, the two are right, and after marriage, they raise their eyebrows together, and they love and respect each other. Soon gave birth to a daughter, which deepened the relationship between the two.
The years could have been quiet, but they were shattered by the jealousy of a woman, who was originally a girl next to the lady, but when the lady was pregnant with her second child and had no time to take care of the master, she managed to climb into the master's bed, and became pregnant with the master's child as she wished, and got the title of a concubine.
The lady was worried about this, and her attitude towards the lord naturally became cold, and the husband and wife could no longer find the former harmony and warmth, and the lord also felt guilty and remorseful about this matter, and did not care much about the concubine and the concubine's daughter.
The concubine failed to meet her several times, but she was unwilling to be lonely and had a personal relationship with the housekeeper in the house.
I can't tell whether it's a blessing or a curse, the concubine accidentally conceived the housekeeper's child, and after the panic, the already disheartened concubine suddenly had the idea of gambling again, and used some means to make the child become a 'master's child', born a boy, and the deceived master's attitude towards her has also changed slightly. She seized this opportunity tightly, and flattered the lord with all kinds of tenderness, and the lord saw too much of the lady's coldness, and the initial guilt was gradually dispelled by the concubine's warmth, so she slowly moved her mind to the concubine.
The concubine went smoothly because of this, and she took the limelight in the house for a while.
But the good times didn't last long, one day, the lady's youngest daughter was disturbed by love, went out for a walk at night, and accidentally heard a conversation between the concubine and the housekeeper, and broke this private relationship. In fact, for the sake of the reputation of the house, the youngest daughter didn't plan to make a statement, but the concubine was afraid of losing all her qiē, so she took advantage of the younger daughter's girl's grudge against the master and tried to get rid of the little daughter. For the first time, the girl was drugged and pushed her into the lake, and the youngest daughter was rescued and sent to the mountains to recuperate.
The concubine did not give up, and took advantage of the day when the youngest daughter returned home to design a murderer, who knew that the youngest daughter was lucky to escape the catastrophe, and after returning home, she showed obvious vigilance and hostility to the concubine, which strengthened the concubine's determination to get rid of her. It's just that she is too greedy, she wants to do bad things and wants to clean up, several failures in a row and the stimulation of her little daughter, so that she is confused, thinking that her little daughter will leave the house after a young year, so she decided to completely clear this stumbling block before this, time is pressing, and she can't think of a better way for a while, so she still uses the most primitive: drugging.
But how could the youngest daughter be completely defenseless against her? Unfortunately, but without much suspense, she failed again. ”
He Shi listened in a daze, recalled the past, suddenly became excited, and glared: "You don't have to beat around the bush with me to put on a posture of asking for guilt, do you think your biological mother is a pure-hearted victim?!" Do you know how much effort I put into keeping Sister Ran back then?! That's right, I'm just going to gamble, just to compete with her! She forced me! ”
"She forced you to climb into the master's bed? She forced you to have an affair with the housekeeper? She forced you to give birth to Brother Tao and steal the beams and change the pillars?! Jiang Lingxi looked at her and frowned with some disgust, "He, you are greedy and make mistakes, which caused today's consequences." ”
He Shi lowered his head and was silent for a moment, calmed down, and turned to an indifferent face and sneered: "What consequences? Do you think that if you catch Xinmei, you will catch my handle? She is a person who has come from Qingya to your Qingfang Pavilion, and there is no clue that she has anything to do with my Linlang Garden, are you so sure, based on her words, the lord can believe that these are my instructions? ”
Jiang Lingxi silently looked at her arrogant appearance, shook her head, and said regretfully: "Originally, I could give you a chance to repent." ”
Without waiting for He Shi to comprehend carefully, he changed the topic and smiled: "Brother Tao didn't actually go back to your hometown, right?" ”
He Shi's face changed suddenly.
Jiang Lingxi raised his head and drank the tea, put the teacup in his hand and played, "Count the days, you should meet with the housekeeper and rush to the northwest." Jizhou or Tengxian, or whatever? ”
The last line of defense in He's heart finally collapsed, and he said in a gaffe: "You let go of my brother Tao!" ”
"If the master knows that he has raised his son for others for so many years, do you think he will let go of your brother Tao?"
"He's just a kid!" He Shi's eyes were bloodshot, and he yelled at Jiang Lingxi, "You are so ruthless, aren't you afraid of retribution?!" ”
The corners of Jiang Lingxi's mouth pursed a smile, revealing a bit of ruthlessness.
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? At this moment, I am your retribution. ”
