When it was dinner time, Zi Wei came back, and from her sullen expression, Xiao Zhisu knew that things were really as she thought.

"Girl, as you expected, although the old lady was so angry that she scolded Gongzi Jing for not being filial to her grandson and lost the face of the Xiao family, but in the end, it was just a small punishment and a big commandment, and the punishment was thought about behind closed doors." Zi Yu paced to Xiao Zhisu's side and said.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, the fact that the result still made Xiao Zhisu feel a little unhappy, "What else?" ”

"The old lady was tolerant of Gongzi Jing, but instead scolded Aunt Xue for being bloody, saying that Aunt Xue was pampered and did not discipline her son well, and asked Aunt Xue to pay out of her own pocket to prepare an apology for the lady present today." That scolding, even the purple nuisance hiding outside the Qingxin Pavilion could hear it clearly.

This is really wronged by the Xue family, she is extremely strict with her son, but the mud can't support the wall, if you really talk about pampering, grandmother has the lion's share.

Xiao Zhisu quietly stirred the soup in front of her, smiling without saying a word. This time, Xue Shiyan is going to make a bloody investment, and the ladies she invited are also called in Jiankang City, and the apology is naturally not light, and when she was brought into the Xiao Mansion, the Xue family had already fallen, not to mention the marriage, and she had not made up for her mother's family over the years, and she was afraid that she had relied on her mother's dowry to live so decently.

But now, her mother's dowry is in her own hands, she can't reach it clearly, but she will definitely reach out behind her back, just right, taking this opportunity, she can get rid of those people that Xue Shichang planted in her mother's dowry shop in one fell swoop.

"Zi Yan, you tell the nurse to let her keep an eye on her mother's dowry shop these days, Xue Shiyan doesn't dare to move those dead things, but she must have done anything to these shops. You also go to help the nurse, check carefully, don't act rashly first, and hand over the roster to me first. Xiao Zhisu ordered the condition, and did not dare to delay for a moment, only to feel dizzy after finishing speaking.

"Girl, you can rest early after eating, I have written down all these things, and I will go and tell Mama Lin later, don't worry." Zi Yu saw that Xiao Zhisu's face was not very good-looking, and said worriedly.

Xiao Zhisu rubbed her temples, she was in a state of high nervous tension all day today, and she was indeed a little tired, but she still had something to do. He waved his hand at Zi Yu and said, "You go first, call Zhuohua in." ”

"Girl, are you looking for me?"

"Zhuohua, come here." Xiao Zhisu beckoned to Zhuohua, waited for her to walk in front of her, made her half-kneeling, and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Okay, the slave will pay attention." Zhuohua nodded as he listened, and took note of it.

"I don't dare to talk to Qingli and Zi about this, I can only rely on you now." Although the two girls are also smart and clever, they are less stable and proper than Zhuohua, and maybe they don't want the two girls who grew up with her since they were children to know that their girls have become such thoughtful people.

Zhuohua was exquisite, and he could more or less guess a little bit of Xiao Zhisu's thoughts, so he nodded quietly, "Girl, please rest assured, the slave will live up to the trust." ”

"By the way, Zhuohua, are you very familiar with that Chen Jing?" Xiao Zhi thought of Chen Jing suddenly, although her real contact with him was this time, but she was sure that this person was not simple, and even very dangerous.

"It's very familiar, but his popularity is very good, and the people in the house like to be with him, and I just happened to help him that time. What happened to him? ”

Xiao Zhisu wanted to say something but stopped, shook her head and laughed, "It's nothing, I'll rest for a while, it's almost time for you to call me." "Anyway, after arranging for Chen Jing to leave the house, he will have nothing to do with him, so why worry so much.

"Yes."

Xiao Zhisu took a nap for a while, and when Zhuohua came to call her, it was already dark outside, and she got up in a daze, "What time is it?" ”

"It's almost three watches, the slave and maid called you up earlier, you can slow down." Zhuohua carefully picked up Xiao Zhisu, wrung out the hot cloth and handed it to her.

"Well, otherwise I really can't lift God." Although it was quite warm in the room, the windows reflected the trembling branches and leaves outside, which showed that it was very cold outside. "She's coming soon, too."

"It's going to be soon." Zhuohua moved a candlestick to the small table, spread the blanket on Xiao Zhisu's legs, and took a hand stove and stuffed it into her palm, "It's cold at night, the girl should be careful not to freeze." ”

Xiao Zhisu couldn't help laughing, "I'm just staying in the room, it's okay." ”

"Then you have to be careful, the girl is already afraid of cold, especially when she gets up from bed in the middle of the night, she is more likely to catch a cold."

"Yes, yes, yes, all listen to you." Because the person has not yet arrived, Xiao Zhisu took the book and looked at it.

After tidying up Xiao Zhisu, Zhuohua stood at the door of Tiansu Pavilion with a lantern, looking left and right with a sigh of relief.

After a while, someone came with a lantern wrapped in a big cloak, and the hat of the cloak blocked most of her face, only to see her walk up to Zhuohua and whisper, "It's a cold night, so Miss Zhuohua has been waiting for a long time." ”

"I'm fine, I'm just tired of the girl, you come with me." Zhuohua took her to Xiao Zhisu's bedroom and pushed the door open for her, "You go in, the girl is waiting inside." ”

"I'm tired." The woman thanked her and walked into the room. The room was warm, and her limbs, which were frozen and stiff outside, gradually began to warm up, she took off her cloak, brushed her clothes, walked in front of Xiao Zhisu, and curtsied, "The slave has seen the nine girls." ”

Xiao Zhisu put down the book in her hand on the small table, her eyes fell on the woman in front of her, and smiled, "Miss Xia again, we meet again." ”

Seeing Xiao Zhisu like this, Youxia suddenly knelt on the ground with a bang, her body almost bowed in a straight line with the ground, her forehead nodded to the ground, and she said excitedly, "Slave, thank you for the grace of the girl." ”

"Why did Xia say this? This is all your creation, what does it have to do with me? ”

Youxia is a smart woman, and she instantly understood the meaning of Xiao Zhisu's words, although she was still kneeling, she slowly straightened her body, "The girl is smart and intelligent, and she teaches the slave and maid to admire, and in the future, she will have a place to get the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid will never give up." ”

Xiao Zhisu picked up the milk brewed on the small table, and drank it at the right temperature, and took a sip, "It's not necessary, you just need to take care of Brother Jing, this is also a part of my heart as a sister." ”

"The slave will listen to the girl and take good care of the young man."

"Well, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early, I've worked hard for you today." Xiao Zhisu paused, and shouted outside, "Zhuohua, you send one." ”

"Okay." Zhuohua pushed open the door and made a gesture of please, "Please." ”

Youxia nodded, stood up and gave a blessing to Xiao Zhisu again, "The slave and maid will retire first." ”

Xiao Zhisu walked to the dresser, and her face was reflected in the rhombic mirror, which was illuminated by the candlelight, and at this moment, she felt a little trance. Every time at this time, she feels that her current life is completely different from before.

"Girl, the slave and maid will wait for you to rest." Zhuohua re-entered the room, saw Xiao Zhisu lying in front of the dresser in a daze, and asked softly.

Xiao Zhisu shook her head and stood up again, "I'm not sleepy now, Zhuohua, you can talk to me for a while." ”

"Okay."

"You should think it's strange tonight, why did I get involved with Youxia." Xiao Zhisu didn't wait for Zhuohua to speak, so she replied to herself, "She's a clever person, I just mentioned a few words in the afternoon, and she came to thank her in the middle of the night." ”

"I can guess that she will come to thank you, the girl is really clever." Actually, Zhuohua didn't expect Xiao Zhisu to take the initiative to mention this stubble, which shows that the girl now trusts her very much. Knowing this made her feel very happy.

Xiao Zhisu smiled helplessly, "How can it be so mysterious, but I know that she is not the master of peace, since she has accepted my opinion, that is, she is against Xue Shiyan, so she can only go all the way to the black, at this moment she is fledgling, what if she doesn't please me?" ”

"The slave maid doesn't understand, she was originally arranged by Aunt Xue for Jing Gongzi's room, why did she do this? What if she couldn't bear the pressure and finally confessed to Aunt Xue? Zhuohua always couldn't figure it out, why did she take such a big risk to do something that belonged to her, not to mention, being seen by so many ladies, what if Aunt Xue was angry and sent her down?

At this time, the burning candle suddenly burst open, Xiao Zhisu stood up, took the scissors placed next to the lampstand, cut off a section of the candle core, and then said slowly, "When did this happen?" What's more, even if it is a room, it is impossible to say whether she can carry her aunt or go up, according to my understanding of Xue Shichang, You Xia will only be a room in her hands for the rest of her life. If she sued Xue Shichang and let her know that today's play was designed by me and her, what do you think Xue Shichang will do to her? ”

If the design master is shaken out, it will not be a good thing, even if she is sold to Yapo, there will be no more good people to ask for her, so the future ending will only be tragic. However, Zhuohua is not pitiful at all, people always have to pay the corresponding price for what they want to get, and there is no good thing in the world that falls from the sky.

Zhuohua is the son of a family, and he actually sees the curves and curves in the door of the mansion more clearly than Xiao Zhisu, so this is also the reason why he is willing to leave things to her.

"Girl, there is a saying that slaves don't know whether to ask or not." Zhuohua thought about it for a long time before he made up his mind to ask.

"You've said so, I've been bothering you for a long time, just ask."

"Although the girl is not very old, she looks deeper than the average girl. Moreover, as far as the slave maid is concerned, the girl has not returned for six years, and after coming back, Aunt Xue treats you very kindly, and Miss Yan is even more gentle and obedient, but the girl looks at it and seems to reject it directly, why is this? "Aunt Xue has always been very cautious, she was on an errand with her wife earlier, and she also complained a few words to listen to her wife, at most she means that she is a terrible master. But how do newcomers know about this?

Really......

Xiao Zhisu smiled bitterly, she could hide all this from others, but she couldn't hide Zhuohua, who was serving her every day.

"Girl, the slave doesn't mean anything else, if it's ......" Zhuohua saw that she didn't answer, and even a little bitter, so he regretted asking such a thing.

"No, it's none of your business, since we trust each other, there are some things that shouldn't be hidden from you. During the six years I stayed with my grandfather, I also investigated a lot of things, that is, my mother's death was caused by Xue Shiyan. Xiao Zhisu can't say that she suffered a big loss from Xue Shiyan and Xiao Zhiyan in her previous life, so she didn't recognize their faces until she was reborn.

However, it's no wonder that Zhuohua has this question, that is, in the previous life, didn't he completely fall into Xue Shiyan's sugar-coated shell?

"Third lady......" Zhuohua covered her lips in surprise, she thought that Aunt Xue was just a powerful character, but she didn't expect that she was so ruthless, and even the county lords of the current dynasty dared to persecute her.

Xiao Zhisu nodded without hesitation, "So, I must avenge this revenge." ”

"The slave understands, can I mention this matter to the eldest lady?" Although the girl is smart, after all, she is only a fifteen-year-old weak woman, Xue Shiyan has been planning and entrenching in the Xiao Mansion for many years, and her foundation is deep and stable, just relying on the girl, she is afraid that her strength is weak.

Xiao Zhisu shook her hand, "Don't tell your aunt about this for the time being, the time is not ripe, I have no evidence to prove it." Moreover, it is not appropriate to involve the eldest aunt for the time being. ”

"Since the girl has her own plans, the slave and maid will not talk much, and if there is something in the future, the girl will tell the slave to do it."

"Zhuohua." Xiao Zhisu walked up to Zhuohua and held her hand, "You are like a big sister to me, with you by my side, my heart is also a lot more stable, I talked to you tonight, it is much more comfortable." ”

"Girl, although I am a slave, but to say something arrogant, you should sometimes let yourself relax and relax, no matter how tight the string is, it will break." Sometimes, Zhuohua feels that the girl has a lot of secrets hidden in her heart, so many that people are overwhelmed and feel distressed.

"I know, it's not too early, you can go back and rest. Sleep more tomorrow morning, and you won't have to wait. ”

Zhuohua suddenly covered her lips and smiled, and teased, "Girl, if it is only used to serve you, then the slaves and maids will be able to sleep lazily every day." ”

This is saying that she is lazy and sleepy! Xiao Zhisu was about to start fighting, "You still dislike me!" Looking for a fight! ”

"How dare a slave." Zhuohua dodged for a moment, and then said, "The slave and maid are waiting for you to rest." ”

"Hmm."
