Chapter Forty-Six: The East Window Incident
The fact that Shen Xingchen would leave made Zhu Curtain very melancholy, but more of it was happy for her, and a little bit of envy.
Shen Xingchen could also roughly guess the idea of the bead curtain, but now that she was full of enemies, it was indeed very dangerous to follow her. She wanted to do her best to fulfill the words she said and the promises she had given, but in this situation, she couldn't give her anything.
The kitchen was busy early in the morning, and the girls who served their sons came to the kitchen one after another to get hot water, and they were very busy with breakfast.
Fu Qiaoying likes to be clean, except for autumn leaves, there is only Shen Xingchen in winter snow. It was Autumn Leaves who came to pick up breakfast today, and when she saw Shen Xingchen in the firewood room, she trotted over happily, her face was full of red light, and her good mood was completely written on her cheeks.
Shen Xingchen had been waiting for Luo Ruxue's boudoir to be discovered, but after waiting for a long time, no one waited.
"Ah Xing, your hand is okay now, that muscle-growing bone plaster is hard to find, there are only two in total, and now it's all for you to use alone, ouch, you can't pay off the kindness of the second young grandmother to you for the rest of your life. ”
Shen Xingchen smiled sweetly, his eyes fell on Qiu Ye's face, and asked her with a smile: "You look so good, is there something good happening today!"
Compared to Shen Xingchen's blandness, the bead curtain looked at his palm and was stunned for a while, the blood blisters on his palm were as flat as the surrounding skin today, leaving only pieces of blood-colored hard cocoons, like fragments of moon flowers embedded in the palm of his hand one by one. Zhu Curtain clearly remembered that she didn't care about these wounds yesterday, and the only person who would care about her was Shen Xingchen. She smiled and looked up, watching the thin figure fade from clarity to blur in her eyes.
Autumn leaves showed a meaningful smile: "Haha, Ah Xing, I haven't seen her for a few days, she will look at her now." In the future, if you don't have any money to spend, you can go under the overpass to show others, and maybe you can make a lot of money!"
Shen Xingchen also smiled, and stretched out his finger to poke Qiu Ye's head: "You almost have the word happy written on your face." Tell me what makes you happy!"
Qiu Ye smiled and pouted, not doubting him, and told Shen Xingchen everything he heard today.
"A thief came out of the yard of the young grandmother and stole her jewelry and silver. ”
It turned out that the theft of Luo Zhuxue's boudoir had already happened in the east window, but it had not yet spread to the remote kitchen. Shen Xingchen pretended to be surprised, looked at Qiu Ye with bright eyes, and asked with a curious face: "Did you catch the person who stole things?"
Of course, the young grandmother was not angry when she found out that the boudoir had been burglarized, and she summoned the girls of the whole yard to interrogate them, but they didn't ask anything. The young grandmother was even more angry, and immediately pointed to a girl who couldn't help but say a mess. That girl is also a virtuous person, and she has always refused to admit it, and the young grandmother was even more angry when she saw this, and kicked the girl to the heart hard, and actually kicked her to death!"
Akiba sighed heavily when he said this: "If I really want to steal something, I will run away with the money that night." Judgment will no longer remain in this land of right and wrong. I really pity that innocent girl, there must be someone else who stole the jewelry, right?"
Of course, Shen Xingchen couldn't tell her that she did it herself, she nodded, and casually echoed her with a sentence of "I am too".
Qiu Ye changed her heavy appearance just now, and the corners of her mouth rose to Shen Xingchen's ear and whispered: "No matter who she is, I am very grateful to him in my heart, I heard that Chunya was slapped a few times by the young grandmother today, and it is estimated that her face has swollen into a pig's head now! Let her always bully us, why didn't Luo Ruxue kill her, even if it helped us get rid of a scourge." ”
Hearing this news, Shen Xingchen's mood was indeed much better. Chunya was injured, and she only needed to deal with Xu Jianniang alone.
As for how to deal with Xu Jianniang, it depends on Xu Jianniang's performance.
"By the way, I'm out so late, the second young grandmother must be hungry. I'll be a wanderer first. Akiba left in a huff.
Regarding when Shen Xingchen would return to Liuyingju, Qiu Ye did not leave a word. At this time, Luo Ruxue's mood was the worst, she couldn't hear anything Fu Qiaoying said at this time, and maybe she would be angry with her because of it. It seems that he will not be able to return to Liuyingju for the time being. Staying here, I just don't know what moth Xu Jianniang will have. Xu Jianniang didn't appear in the back kitchen until noon.
Xu Jianniang is in a very bad mood today, she has always slept well, she actually had insomnia last night. Tossing and turning until the second half of the night fell asleep in a daze. She didn't sleep for a few hours, and she was woken up by the uninteresting girls in the month. Didn't they give her a birthday gift?
Xu Jianniang suppressed the impatience in her heart, and still opened the door for them, a few girls looked embarrassed, and knelt in front of her when they saw their tears flying, you told Shen Xingchen a word for a word.
Xu Jiaoniang's brows were furrowed deeply, she felt that she was numb from head to toe, and her chest was as if she was pressed by a hill, exhaling more and inhaling less, am I sick?
"Shut up. The old lady is living a good life, what are you kneeling one by one, are you cursing me to die early?"
Xiaolian then remembered that today was Xu Jianniang's birthday, and knelt down to her on her birthday and cried and cried, anyone would be angry.
Xu Jianniang is impulsive and belligerent by nature, but her disadvantage is that she has soft ears and likes other people's flattery. Xiaolian stood up, wiped away the embarrassment on her face, and her tone was full of flattery: "Auntie, we shouldn't have done this on your birthday, we prepared a gift for you yesterday, and we were carried away by Shen Xingchen's beating and scolding in the morning, so we delayed this matter." You adults don't care about villains, don't be angry, if you get angry with your body, it's really not worth it!"
Xiaolian said this very skillfully, and immediately counted all the faults on Shen Xingchen's body, and did not forget to ask Xu Jianniang's body with concern. When Xu Jianniang heard Xiaolian say this, her depression weakened slightly.
Seeing that Xu Jianniang's face was a little softened, Qi Yue also stood up from the ground, eagerly agreeing with Xiaolian's words: "Yes, yes, we have already prepared a gift, so we want to surprise you Aunt Xu? Who knew that this kind of thing would happen." It's all our fault, don't be angry. I'll help you do it for a while. Seeing that your face is not very good, it is better to rest and rest!"
Qi Yue felt that she was not wrong in what she said, but the hot pain on her face made her stunned for a long time before she met Xu Jianniang's eyes that were almost spewing fire.
"You dead girl, you know to curse me! Get out of here!"
The three of them glanced at the angry Xu Jianniang in silence, and then rolled out with a crawl. And Xu Jianniang lay back on the bed, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her passionate emotions, but it had no effect, her chest was like a drum, she forced herself to close her eyes, but she obviously felt that her heartbeat was still beating too actively.
What's the matter, am I really sick? Xu Jianniang slept until noon before she thought about it, and all the feelings that something was wrong in the morning dissipated a lot. She let out a long breath of turbidity, feeling a lot lighter.
