Chapter 13: The Rules of Respect and Inferiority
In the early morning of this day, Xie Fu woke up early in the morning, Ziyu was already able to move freely, served her to freshen up, and went to Ningshoutang to greet the He family.
The daily morning and dusk are the same, every day is the same, He said a few words meaningfully, and the people in the three rooms dispersed, but Wu Shan was still grounded, and she hadn't come for several days, only the fourth lady Xie Dongqi led the maid to come.
Yuan Zheng saw that the He family was fine, and led Xie Yurou and his concubine Xie Yuling to leave first, Xie Fuyao then also went out, but Xie Dongqi didn't know why he fell last today.
The group went out of the yard, there was a small garden outside Ning Shoutang, and the scenery of the small bridge and flowing water was also good, Xie Fuyao just got on the bridge, and he heard a reprimand behind him: "Stop!"
She turned around, but it was Xie Dongqi standing there glaring angrily.
"The eighth sister is out now, and she doesn't even have the respect and humility of the elders and the young in her eyes. β
Xie Fuyao said lightly: "There are no elders here, why did the fourth sister say this?"
The people in the big house have already gone away, and there are only their sisters here, Xie Dongqi raised his head and taught her a lesson: "You also know that I am the fourth sister, but I still got ahead of me and got on the bridge, but if there is still a little order in your eyes, you should let me go first." β
When Xie Fuyao heard this, he knew that she was going to find fault, and he couldn't help but feel ridiculous, and he didn't bother to argue with her, so he stepped out of the way and said, "Since the fourth sister wants to go first, let's go first." β
Xie Dongqi wanted to find a reason to reprimand her, but she didn't expect her to accept it at all, Xie Dongqi was like a punch in cotton, he couldn't use his strength at all, and he gritted his teeth.
"You...... No matter what, after all, you have violated the order, and today I will let you have a long memory, so that you can avoid committing it again in the future, and apologize!"
Xie Fuyao sneered: "The fourth sister is too much of a fuss. β
If it was in the past, Xie Fuyao would definitely quarrel with Xie Dongqi when he encountered this kind of thing.
But now her two lifetimes of age combined to be Xie Dongqi's mother are enough, watching her make such a fuss is as naΓ―ve as an adult watching a child quarrel, she is too lazy to entangle, and there is more than one way to go back to the yard, Xie Dongqi has to go here, then let it be given to her, she will go another way.
Xie Dongqi originally thought well, with Xiaoba's temperament, she would definitely make trouble, and then she would teach Xiaoba a hard lesson as a sister, so as to be angry for her mother, who let her calculating Wu Shan be grounded.
But now Xie Fuyao actually didn't play his cards according to the way, Xie Dongqi was in a hurry, and shouted after him: "Xie Fuyao, you stop for me! You have a mother but no mother, have you forgotten the rules that the two aunts taught you on weekdays?"
When Xie Fuyao heard this, his face suddenly turned cold.
It doesn't matter what she does, but it would be unforgivable if her parents were involved, she turned around and looked at Xie Dongqi coldly and said: "My mother is also your elder, so arranging the elders is a sign of understanding the rules and orderly?"
Her cold gaze slashed across Xie Dongqi's face like a knife, Xie Dongqi couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart, only to feel cold and soaked behind him.
In the past, even though Xiaoba had a bigger temper, she would only shout loudly, but her eyes just now were really cautious, as if she had invisibly changed a person, stared at by such a gaze, Xie Dongqi actually gave birth to a feeling that the person in front of him was not the arrogant Xiaoba, but the phoenix soaring above the nine heavens, and unconsciously wanted to bow down.
As soon as her legs were weak, Xie Fuyao had already retracted his gaze and turned around to leave.
Xie Dongqi came back to his senses suddenly, thinking that he had just been frightened by a person who looked down on him the most, and suddenly felt very faceless, and shouted angrily: "Your mother is also worthy of being my elder? Your father is just a grandfather's concubine, let me call him a third uncle, I feel wronged, what is your mother?"
As soon as the words fell, Xie Fuyao slapped her face, she was extremely heavy, Xie Dongqi only felt that her face was hot and painful, and the corners of her lips smelled of rust, afraid that it would crack.
"You dare to hit me?" she covered her face, tears in her eyes from the pain, and her eyes were full of grievance and disbelief.
Xie Fuyao stood there straight, the wind blew the hair on her sideburns, and her eyes revealed cold and resolute, as if there were thousands of troops standing behind her: "You are wrong, I am teaching you a lesson for the elders, and I am disrespectful and humble and speak wildly, how can the identity of the elders be discussed by the juniors?"
Xie Dongqi was shocked by her, looked at her blankly and didn't dare to say a word, Xie Fuyao added: "Don't let me hear such words again in the future." β
After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Xie Dongqi for a while before he came back to his senses, gritted his teeth angrily and stomped his feet, but he didn't have the courage to catch up with her and reason with her, just now her eyes were too scary, and finally she had to snort and run away with a stomach.
Yuan Zheng looked at this scene from a distance, his face was a little gloomy, this was not her illusion, Xiao Ba's temperament had really changed since he was punished and kneeled in the ancestral hall last time.
Just now Xiaoba's momentum, let alone Xie Dongqi, even she was suppressed, Xiaoba would never behave like this in the past.
Did she fall for evil? Or had she been pretending to be herself for many years? If it was the latter, then this child would be terrible......
Xie Fuyao went all the way back to Mingxin Garden, and Ziyu dared to speak: "Miss, you just beat the fourth lady, really...... Is it okay?"
You must know that Sanfang is not the He family's biological child, if Xie Dongqi goes to the He family to complain, her young lady will definitely not be able to please her.
"What's the matter?" Xie Fuyao asked rhetorically, "She said that she was disrespectful to the elders, I just let her remember it for a long time, what are you afraid of?"
Ziyu thought about it, but she was still a little uneasy in her heart, and she bit her lip and said, "But even so, it's ...... to beat people."
"Didn't she do it to me the other day?"
Ziyu has nothing to say now, it turns out that Miss is taking the opportunity to take revenge. This is also like the temperament that her young lady should have.
She looked at Xie Fuyao, and always felt that there seemed to be something about the young lady that she didn't know, but it seemed that nothing had changed, and she was still the same young lady.
Although it is now autumn, it is the season of autumn tigers, and the heat is not much better than in summer.
During the day, Xie Fuyao went to the yard to pick fruits and planned to make almond wine, and he was sweating, and after dinner, he told Ziyu to boil water, and planned to sleep after bathing, otherwise he would always feel uncomfortable with sweat on his body.
After the water was boiled, Xie Fuyao didn't want people to serve him, he planned to soak himself comfortably, so he sent everyone out, and he went behind the screen, and when he was about to untie his clothes, he heard a slight sound in the dark.
Xie Fuyao suddenly became alert, this courtyard is full of people placed in the second room of the big house, for example, Qiu Ju from the last time is an example, she just turns a blind eye on weekdays, and now this person even has to stare at her bathing?
"Who's there?" Xie Fu shouted, shaking his clothes, and walked out of the screen to see an unexpected person appear in his boudoir.
