Chapter 3: Du Ruoxi
At this moment, she heard a delicate sound outside the room, and she lay back on the bed, and she heard the door being pushed open again, and the faint sound of footsteps was heard in her ears.
Ji Jin closed his eyes and fell asleep, and the bottom of his eyes was dark.
"Cousin?" The sound of cotton reached her ears through the curtains. When the footsteps got closer and closer, the slender figure was already standing on the edge of the bed.
Listening to this cousin, Ji Jin sneered in her heart, she regarded Du Ruoxi as her own sister. In the end, she used it as a stepping stone. How naΓ―ve he was in his previous life.
"Sister Xi is here?" Ji Jin opened his eyes slowly. The back of the soft hand rubbed his eyes, looking sleepy-eyed.
"I heard that my sister woke up, I came to see you, that day, it was my sister who didn't stand firm, and accidentally pushed you when she fell, my sister didn't mean to." His hands were wringing his feet, and his eyes were not daring to raise them, looking guilty and timid.
"Sister, sit down." Ji Jin smiled harmlessly. Affectionately wanted to pull Du Ruoxi's hand.
Du Ruoxi replied resignedly, and hurriedly reached out to grab Ji Jin's hand and held it carefully.
Whoever saw Du Ruoxi's cautious and thoughtful timid appearance would never have imagined that she would push herself.
Also, if he hadn't been deceived in his previous life, if Du Ruoxi hadn't entered the palace to compete for favor, he wouldn't have found out that there was such a scheming cousin by his side in the end.
I saw Du Ruoxi's pair of black eyes looking at her timidly, and when she called her lightly, the big watery eyes left two lines of tears, like crystal tears falling, pear blossoms with rain, Chu Chu pitiful.
Ji Jin was at a loss in distress, so she quickly sat up, took out a handkerchief placed next to the pillow and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Sister, your body is not good, why are you crying again, if you are seen by the slave who can't see you and my sister, Xu will say that I bullied you again."
Du Ruoxi was trying to pretend to be pitiful and weak, but now listening to Ji Jin's words that seemed to be concerned but slightly reproachful, she also put away her tears, lowered her eyebrows and restricted: "My sister can't help but cry with joy when she sees her sister wake up." β
Ji Jin sneered in his heart, but he pretended to be sorry for his face, put away the handkerchief, and held Du Ruoxi's delicate hand with both hands, "Sister, relax, it's okay." β
After listening to this, Du Ruoxi seemed to think of yesterday's scene, her already delicate body trembled a few times, and her slightly pale cheeks were obviously a little whiter, as if she remembered the thrilling scene yesterday, and now she is still frightened.
In this way, I couldn't help crying, "If it wasn't for my sister who didn't stand firm yesterday, my sister was ......"
"You and I are sisters, I'm fine now, sister don't take it to heart, I remember that my sister also fell and fainted that day, and now I don't look very good, so I'd better go back and rest, and when I'm better, I'll go to see you." Ji Jin frowned, unwilling to see Du Ruoxi's weak appearance crying in front of her, so he simply interrupted her. There is a strong force that cannot be refuted in the words.
Du Ruoxi was obviously stunned, her eyes were full of tears and stared at her, as if she had been greatly wronged. Du Ruoxi only felt that Ji Jin seemed to be a little different, but he couldn't say what was different. How can it feel this way?
She didn't know that the Ji Jin in front of her was no longer the Ji Jin. The Ji Jin in front of him is the Ji Jin who has experienced competition for favor, succession, and war. It is the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Ji who was in charge of the harem, listened to the government with a curtain, and had supreme power.
suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and hurriedly got up obediently, "Then my sister will not disturb my sister's recuperation, and my sister will come to see my sister tomorrow." β
Ji Jin looked at Du Ruoxi's slender but charming back, and couldn't help but sneer. Sure enough, dogs that bite don't bark.
After Du Ruoxi left, Lu Zhu said: "Our girl was pushed down by her, and her life was almost gone, and she dared to pretend to be a sisterly in front of the girl." β
"It's okay, there are not a few days left to control her." She wanted to see what life she could live in Ji Mansion without her protection. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Xi Ju was surprised that Ji Jin was finally able to see Du Ruoxi's true face, and he didn't understand the meaning of Ji Jin's words. When I looked up, I saw that my girl's pleasing face was cold, and there was an inexplicable solemnity, which made people look up involuntarily.
After saying this for a while, it didn't take long. Come to think of it, the father and mother who regard themselves as jewels are also coming. Dad is stationed outside, and my brother is still studying in Juwentang at this time, and I'm afraid that my mother will be there soon.
Thinking about it, I closed my eyes and planned to rest for a while, but my head really hurt a little.
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from the courtyard outside, revealing a soft and fair face behind the curtains.
She hurriedly walked to the head of the bed and sat down, took Ji Jin's hand and asked, "Jin'er, tell my mother, does your head still hurt?" β
Looking at the woman in front of her, her eyes showed a little anxiety, and she looked at her earnestly, it was her mother Wei, who is now thirty-two years old, and her well-maintained skin looks no more than twenty-seven or eighteen, revealing a unique beauty and handsomeness of a Jiangnan woman.
Her appearance is four points like her mother, especially her skin, which is delicate and smooth.
The years are in a hurry, the previous life is like a dream, and I can think that I can see my mother again in front of my eyes, as strong as her, and I can't help but redden.
"Jin'er, don't cry, doesn't it hurt somewhere?" Wei Shi saw that she was crying, and hurriedly reached out to support her forehead, making sure that the temperature in her hand was not abnormal, and then put her mind at ease.
Ji Jin gradually regained consciousness, but in an instant, it seemed that she had recovered her vague memory, and her mother's worried words came from time to time, and her heart was pounding.
She gently tugged at her mother's finger: "Mother, Jin'er knows that she is wrong." "At the moment, by the mother's side. She doesn't want to be the strong queen mother, she just wants to be the weak little girl in her mother's heart.
Wei Shi looked at the pair of dark eyes in front of him, and was looking at her pitifully at this time, where did she dare to blame for half a sentence, but she still sighed helplessly: "Jin'er, you are good to Miss Xi, and you don't want to stay away from her." Mother doesn't object, but you have to take care of yourself. β
Listening to her mother's reproach and distress, her eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and she said weakly: "Mother, Jin'er will never let her mother worry about it in the future." β
"I hope you have a longer memory," Wei comforted Ji Jin a few words, took the teacup from Mama Li's hand, personally fed Ji Jin a few sips, and then turned around and left the house.
After stepping out of the boudoir, Wei's eyes were slightly cold, and he put one hand on the arm of Mama Cui beside him, while asking, "Is this really just an accident?" β
"Mrs. Hui, only the girl and Miss Xi were there at that time, and I want to come ......" Mama Li, who came out, always lowered her head and replied softly.
"Our girl's head was broken, but Miss Xi didn't even have skin injuries, she only said that she fainted, and it's hard to say whether this fainting is true or not." Mama Li continued. A cold touch crossed his shrewd eyes.
"I actually put my hand on Jin'er, am I too tolerant of her on weekdays?" Wei's eyes shattered with a cold light, and he walked away.
