Chapter 107: Counting is Counting
Hearing Gu Xia'er say that she wanted to reconcile, Ji Xiaotang was not surprised. Just now Jiang Xinglong said angrily that he was going to take a break from Gu Xia'er, but Gu Xia'er was not afraid at all, not even the slightest hesitation. Obviously, Gu Xia'er had already made up her mind in her heart.
Seeing that Ji Xiaotang didn't answer immediately, Gu Xia'er was a little anxious.
"It's okay if you don't get along, just like Jiang Xinglong said, let him take a leave of absence." Gu Xia'er's tone was marked with obvious eagerness.
Ji Xiaotang glanced at Gu Xia'er.
If the husband and wife are reconciled and separated, under normal circumstances, there is a big mistake on the man's side. In harmony, the woman's reputation will be better, and the man's will be damaged. But divorce is different. The reputation of the woman who has been divorced will definitely be damaged, but the man's side will not be harmed.
Gu Xia'er would rather have her reputation damaged and affect her future life, and she would rather leave Jiang Xinglong.
Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but glance at Gu Xia'er a lot. The woman in front of her has always been a very successful person. When she hadn't discovered her plot against Second Master Ji, Second Mrs. Ji even praised Gu Xia'er, saying that Uncle Gu and the Jiang family gave birth to Gu Xia'er as "a good bamboo shoot".
Gu Xia'er is indeed more "on the stage" than the rest of the Gu family, and she has been fighting for her life.
If Gu Xia'er hadn't used indiscriminate means to calculate Second Master Ji, and tried in vain to squeeze out Second Mrs. Ji, even if Ji Xiaotang didn't like Gu Xia'er, he wouldn't have too much bad feelings for her.
There is nothing wrong with it for a better life, the fault is that she is not right.
Even now, Gu Xia'er has been taught a lesson, but she has not repented.
She still wants to use the Ji family and Mrs. Ji, wanting to achieve the goal of reconciling with Jiang Xinglong. Just now, Gu Xia'er flattered Ji Xiaoyun like that, and she should also seem to think that it was not good to say such things directly to Mrs. Ji, and wanted Ji Xiaoyun to speak for her and help her persuade Mrs. Ji.
For such a Gu Xia'er, Ji Xiaotang didn't really plan to help her.
"If you want to reconcile, I can help you with this." Ji Xiaotang looked at Gu Xia'er, "But, what can you do for me?" ”
Ji Xiaotang's meaning is obvious, she can help Gu Xia'er, but she won't help in vain. Gu Xia'er has to pay the corresponding price.
"I ......" Gu Xia'er was with me for a long time, but she couldn't say anything. What can she give Ji Xiaotang, and what can she do for Ji Xiaotang. She couldn't think of it.
Her identity has always been attached to the Ji family. The Ji family has been raising her and helping her, but she has not done anything valuable for the Ji family.
For the Ji family, for Ji Xiaotang, she is worthless at all.
"Xiaotang," Gu Xia'er's face turned red, but she still said, "We are not outsiders. Think about it, apart from your father, grandmother, sister, and uncle, we are the closest people to you. ”
If Gu Xia'er's sentence is changed to Uncle Gu or Jiang's, it must mean that they and Ji Xiaotang are "real relatives".
Ji Xiaotang smiled.
"I see. That's why I'm supposed to help you, and so you can keep counting us, and that's what you call the closest person? No wonder you've been calculating the old lady and my sister. It's really thanks to the fact that I'm not so close to you, otherwise it would have been me who was calculated. ”
Ji Xiaotang's words were not polite at all, Gu Xia'er's face suddenly turned red, her lips squirmed, but she couldn't say anything to refute.
"I've never embarrassed people. If there's nothing you can do for me, I can't help you. Ji Xiaotang was about to get up to see off the guests.
"Nope." Gu Xia'er was in a hurry, and the rest of the Ji family wouldn't pay attention to this matter at all, only Ji Xiaotang.
wants to break away from Jiang Xinglong and the Jiang family, Ji Xiaotang is her only chance here.
"Xiaotang, as long as you are willing to help me, I am willing to do anything." Gu Xia'er bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind. She said this, and then asked Ji Xiaotang tentatively, "Xiaotang, what are you...... It's my cousin...... What does the second wife mean? ”
Gu Xia'er thinks that Ji Xiaotang is now acting for Second Master Ji or Second Mrs. Ji.
"You don't have to worry about that. You just need to know that if I promise you, I will definitely be able to do it. Ji Xiaotang said lightly.
Gu Xia'er thought about it for a while and decided to believe Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang's identity in the Ji family, even if she didn't know it before, is very clear now. Second Mrs. Ji was pregnant, and handed over the power to take care of family affairs to Ji Xiaotang, not Mrs. Ji or Ji Xiaoyun, who was older than Ji Xiaotang.
What Ji Xiaotang said could represent Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji. Even if it was Ji Xiaotang's own idea, Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er would not ignore it afterwards.
In any case, this is the only opportunity, and she must seize it tightly.
As for what she can do for Ji Xiaotang, Ji Xiaotang doesn't lack anything at all. Even if Ji Xiaotang has any shortage, it is not something she has the ability to give.
“…… Jiang Miao'er was a little sick...... "After thinking for a while, Gu Xia'er said.
Ji Xiaotang nodded slightly, motioning for Gu Xia'er to continue.
Gu Xia'er immediately realized that if these were meaningful to Ji Xiaotang, she could give it a try.
“…… I took a lot of medicine, and I was getting better, but suddenly there was more bleeding, and it was really scary at that time, a girl who didn't get out of the cabinet......"
Ji Xiaotang's eyes narrowed slightly. Regarding Jiang Miaoer's illness, the news from the Jiang family was wind cold. But listening to what Gu Xia'er said, it was not a symptom of wind and cold at all.
The symptoms of bleeding were quite scary, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but think of Mrs. Ji.
“…… Jiang Qiaoer said that she was afraid that her daughter was sick. …… Afraid that this disease would spread, no one would dare to come to the door to propose to Jiang Miaoer in the future, so he bought Lang Zhong, and the subordinates in the family also ordered, and only said that it was cold outside. ”
"That's all?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
Gu Xia'er glanced at Ji Xiaotang quickly, and felt that Ji Xiaotang seemed to be a little impatient.
"No, it's not." Gu Xia'er hurriedly said, "It's Jiang Miao'er's disease, it's strange ......."
Gu Xia'er said for a long time, and Ji Xiaotang finally understood. Gu Xia'er suspected that Jiang Miao'er's illness was not natural, but someone did it. As for the person Gu Xia'er suspected, it was Jiang Qiao'er.
Gu Xia'er said that she happened to see Jiang Qiao'er fiddling with Jiang Miao'er's medicine behind someone's back.
"I tasted it myself, it seems...... My father-in-law was also a little suspicious of Miao'er's illness. Gu Xia'er finally said.
"Looks like you can't do anything for me anymore." As soon as Ji Xiaotang opened his mouth, it was like this.
Gu Xia'er was a little confused. A person is not afraid of no hope, but he is afraid that he just thought that there was hope, but what greeted her was despair.
"Xiaotang ......"
"However, you often come over and tell me about these parents, which can also relieve my boredom. If you say it well, it will not be impossible to help you reconcile. Ji Xiaotang continued.
This gave Gu Xia'er hope again.
"Yes, of course." Gu Xia'er immediately agreed, "But, when will I be able to reconcile and leave?" ”
To inquire about the situation of the Jiang family, and the immediate Jiang family, this is fundamentally contradictory.
"You don't expect to be separated right away." Ji Xiaotang asked Gu Xia'er, "On the Jiang family's side, if we come forward, naturally there is nothing that can't be done." But can your father say yes? ”
Gu Xia'er's face turned pale again.
"As long as my aunt speaks......"
"The old lady won't be the master for your father. Even if the old lady is willing to open this mouth, don't you know your father's temper. Will they agree? ”
Uncle Gu and the Jiang family's temper is not to marry Gu Xia'er into the Jiang family, and they will forget it if they get a large amount of dowry silver. They definitely hoped that they could listen to Gu Xia'er and move as much of the Jiang family's wealth as possible to the Gu family.
Since Gu Xia'er married into the Jiang family, Uncle Gu and the Jiang family have not been as diligent as before to search for Jifu, and even Zhuangzi has not made much trouble for the head of the grange.
The Jiang family is a fat meat and bone to Uncle Gu, and it is easier to gnaw than the Ji family.
Master Ji San is in charge of many things now, and he is no more concerned about face and his identity than Master Ji Er. Uncle Gu is no longer as casual as he used to be in the Ji family.
When Ji Xiaotang saw Gu Xia'er's eyes rolling, he knew that she still had some ideas that could not succeed.
"The Jiang family can wrap it around us, but with your father's mother, only you have to do the work yourself. If you want to reconcile, at least on the surface, it has to be your father and mother. Ji Xiaotang's words were categorical, and there was no room for negotiation.
Ji Xiaotang can make Gu Xia'er reconcile, but he will not cause Gu Xia'er's trouble to the Ji family.
"If you don't agree, that's the end of it." Ji Xiaotang was simply authentic.
"I ...... Agree. Gu Xia'er finally nodded.
"That's good." Ji Xiaotang glanced at Gu Xia'er, thinking in his heart that Gu Xia'er might have thought of a way to deal with Uncle Gu and the Jiang family. If you want to say that she understands these two people, Gu Xia'er will never be less than others.
"It's just that there has to be, there has to be a deadline." Gu Xia'er asked Ji Xiaotang.
"You get your father's consent and bring me valuable news, and I will help you immediately." Ji Xiaotang didn't specifically say what news she asked Gu Xia'er to inquire about, but when Gu Xia'er told her about Jiang Miao'er, Ji Xiaotang knew that Gu Xia'er was clever and careful enough, and she would definitely find out what she needed.
"Xiaotang, don't coax me." Gu Xia'er had already regained her strength and got up from the ground. "I'm a miserable person, and if you coax me, I won't be able to live."
Gu Xia'er said very pitifully.
"That's ridiculous." Ji Xiaotang was unmoved, "Is your current situation because I coaxed you?" If I wanted to do you badly, I wouldn't have to say so much to you. As long as I don't care, who else will take care of you! ”
What Ji Xiaotang said was the truth, and Gu Xia'er was speechless.
"It is always you who determines your present and what you will do in the future, and don't push it to others." Ji Xiaotang is colorful.
Gu Xia'er was stunned for a moment, and then became excited again.
"Xiaotang, you won't understand. You have a good father, you are the daughter of the Ji family. But I ......"
Gu Xia'er wanted to say that if she could be born in the Ji family, with a father like Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji, she would not have fallen to this point today. She was reluctant to marry Jiang Xinglong, but she was forced to marry because Uncle Gu and the Jiang family were greedy for money.
"You're still complaining." Ji Xiaotang sneered, "Why don't you want to think about what you've done yourself." ”
Gu Xia'er covered her face.
"Okay, I'll let someone take you to the guest room to rest, and wait for someone from the Jiang family to pick you up." Ji Xiaotang got up and said, "I will make enough face for you to make your life in the Jiang family better." By the way, do you want to be a director of the Jiang family? ”
"I ......" Gu Xia'er was a little hesitant, she hadn't thought about the matter of being a director at all. But since she can't leave the Jiang family for the time being, and if you want Uncle Gu and the Jiang family to agree to her and leave ......
"Can you put me in charge?" Gu Xia'er asked.
Jiang Qingshan did not reveal the intention of letting her be in charge, and Jiang Qiaoer and Ma Wenhong controlled the Jiang family, so she was not allowed to interfere at all.
"If you want, you can." Ji Xiaotang said.
"I think." This time, Gu Xia'er did not hesitate.
Ji Xiaotang nodded, and asked the little girl to take Gu Xia'er down.
Although he was stayed, he did not stay in Mrs. Ji's house, but was taken to the guest room. The discerning subordinates of the Ji family already know the status of this old lady Ji's niece and the new young grandmother of the Jiang family in the Ji family.
is no longer close to the masters, only superficial etiquette is enough.
After sending Gu Xia'er down here, Mrs. Ji immediately asked someone to call Ji Xiaotang, and Mrs. Ji also sent someone to find her.
Ji Xiaotang thought about it, so he came to see Mrs. Ji first.
“…… How did you talk to her for half a day? What to leave her for? Xia'er, that kid, has changed! As soon as Mrs. Ji saw Ji Xiaotang, she immediately said.
"Old lady, it's none of her business." Ji Xiaotang smiled and said, "Jiang Xinglong made a lot of noise in front of the old lady, and dared to make a move." If you don't give them a little bit of power, it's too much for them to underestimate us. …… I'm going to make the old lady angry. ”
When Mrs. Ji heard Ji Xiaotang say this, she was very worried in her heart.
"I knew you kid, so I didn't stop you." Old Mrs. Ji nodded, and asked Ji Xiaotang again, "Xiaotang, how are you going to be angry with me." ”
"After a while, Jiang Qingshan will definitely have to take Jiang Xinglong to pick up their young grandmother, and let them kowtow to the old lady when the time comes. With this time, they will definitely not dare in the future. ”
"I'll leave it all to you. I'm too tired to bother with these things. As Mrs. Ji spoke, she hesitated slightly, "We can't take care of other people's family affairs." ”
"Don't worry, old lady, I'm measured."
After appeasing Mrs. Ji, Ji Xiaotang came to Mrs. Ji again.
The second master Ji and the third master are here, obviously in Ji Xiaotang.
"What's going on?" Second Master Ji asked Ji Xiaotang.
In front of these three people, Ji Xiaotang didn't hide it at all, so she told her plan.
"The Jiang family spent so much money to marry Gu Xia'er, but they didn't have the idea of restraining us. Now we're counting ...... "R1152."
