Chapter 104: Reckoning
Thinking of this, Zhuo Shi wiped her tears and tried to get up from the ground, then she turned around and grabbed the maid's hand, calmed herself down and said, "We must calm down now, Cui Ping is about to go to the master to complain, and we still have to cheer up to deal with this war." ”
As Zhuo expected, after Cui Ping came out of her room, she didn't even tidy up her clothes and hair, and she didn't go back to her yard at all, and walked straight towards Jiang Xiu's study, she knew that Jiang Xiu must be in the study now.
She took the two maids and quickly walked to Jiang Xiu's study. Jiang Xiu's personal servant was guarding outside, and when he saw Cui Ping coming straight over, he hesitated for a long time, but he still stopped in front of Cui Ping, and said with a flattering smile: "Auntie, the master said that he should concentrate on painting and not see anyone." ”
Cui Ping stroked her messy hair, sneered and said, "You can take a good look, what I look like now, I have something urgent to see my master, even if you don't let me." As she spoke, she took a step and wanted to go inside.
Jiang Xiu's little servant naturally saw Cui Ping's appearance a long time ago, and he was startled when he saw it for the first time, but he quickly reacted that Cui Ping could become like this, and at first glance, she was beaten by her wife, so she was in a hurry to find a complaint now.
But the master has already said that he can't see anyone else, if he rashly puts Cui Ping in, I'm afraid that it will not be Mrs. but himself who will suffer first, so he must stop it.
The little guy who made up his mind said with a smile: "Auntie, it's really not a small one to embarrass you, what is your identity, how dare you provoke a small one?" It's really the master's order, if the small one lets you in, the master will definitely find the small one to settle the account. ”
Cui Ping wanted to use brute force to get in, but was stopped by the little maid at the door, and she had no choice but to ask the little guy to be accommodating: "You can be accommodating!" I promise that you will not punish you, and I will say good things about you in front of you. ”
This little guy is Jiang Xiu's most trusted, even if Jiang Xiu drives Cui Ping away, he will not drive him away, he also knows it in his heart, so he doesn't believe Cui Ping's words, and continues to stop in front of her.
If Zhuo's beating of her can't be known by the master, then isn't she beaten for nothing? Thinking of this, Cui Ping gritted her teeth, and directly opened her throat and shouted: "Master, Cui Ping has something urgent to ask to see her, and please let me in!" ”
Xiao Wu didn't expect that Cui Ping, as an aunt, didn't care about her face at all, so she shouted in public like a shrew, and he hurriedly stopped him: "You can't disturb the master." ”
Cui Ping didn't listen to his dissuasion at all, and even the more he dissuaded, the louder her voice became.
Jiang Xiu was concentrating on painting in his study, when he suddenly heard a commotion from outside the door, he frowned, he was going to ignore it and continue to concentrate on painting, but the sound became louder and louder, and even later he heard Cui Ping's voice, he couldn't sit still anymore, directly threw away the pen in his hand, turned around and walked out of the study.
Cui Ping was shouting outside, and when she saw that the door of the study was opened by Jiang Xiu from the inside, she hurriedly pushed aside the little guy who was blocking her, strode in front of Jiang Xiu, and knelt down with a plop, tears flowed down her cheeks quickly, crying and complaining: "Master, please be the master of Cui Ping!" ”
Before Jiang Xiu walked out of the door of the study, he saw a ball of red running in front of him quickly, so frightened that he almost screamed, and then looked carefully at the kneeling person, and he recognized that the kneeling person turned out to be Cui Ping.
I saw that Cui Ping's two cheeks were swollen like buns, and the red looked like she had just been beaten, and there was even a little blood at the corner of her mouth. Her clothes were torn and tattered, and her white shoulders were exposed.
Her eyes were crying like two peaches, and tears continued to flow down her cheeks, she looked up at Jiang Xiu pitifully, choked up and said, "Master, Cuiping has been humiliated to such an extent, please help Cuiping make the decision." ”
Jiang Xiu couldn't help but feel pity in his heart when he saw her so miserable, he personally stepped forward to help her up, took her into the study, and asked as he walked, "What the hell is going on?" Who the hell humiliated you? I don't believe that anyone in this Hou Mansion doesn't know that you are my Jiang Xiu's concubine, and they want to bully you. Say it, and I'll call the shots for you. ”
Cui Ping was waiting for this sentence, she leaned on Jiang Xiu's body and whispered, "It's my sister." ”
Jiang Xiuleng paused for a moment, and then realized who she was talking about, he frowned and said, "How could it be her?" Didn't I tell you before not to provoke her? ”
Zhuo's family came to make trouble before, Jiang Xiu expressed dissatisfaction with Cui Ping's going to provoke Zhuo every once in a while, he once said that if Cui Ping provoked Zhuo again, she would be directly divorced from the house, so Cui Ping would be restrained.
didn't expect that he had warned Cui Ping, and Cui Ping also went to provoke Zhuo's family, this kind of disobedient temperament couldn't help but make Jiang Xiu a little angry, and even her attitude towards her was not as good as when she entered the door just now.
Cui Ping naturally felt the change in Jiang Xiu's mood, and she hurriedly said: "Master, it's not Cui Ping who went to find trouble with my sister, Cuiping heard my sister borrow money before, and I wanted to give my sister some advice, but I didn't expect my sister not only not to listen, but also to beat me like this." Master, although I am wrong, but my sister can't treat me like this! You must be the master for me! ”
Hearing Cui Ping's words, Jiang Xiu was furious all of a sudden, Zhuo's delay in borrowing the silver had touched her death hole, Cui Ping originally wanted to find a way, but was treated like this by Zhuo, is she also dissatisfied with herself in her heart?
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the little guy standing behind him: "Hurry up and bring Madame over!" ”
The little guy immediately turned around and went, and in less than a cup of tea, he walked over with Zhuo's family, and after the two entered the study one after the other, the little guy first saluted Jiang Xiu, and said back respectfully: "The little one has brought Mrs. With that, he turned and left.
This matter is not something he can participate in, rather than continuing to let the master out here, it is better to go out obediently by himself, so that he can live better in the Hou Mansion.
Before leaving, he thoughtfully closed the door of the study so that no one could see what was happening inside, and then continued to guard outside.
After Zhuo Shi saw the little maid leave, he blessed himself slightly, and asked coldly, "I don't know what the master is looking for me?" ”
"What's the matter? Don't you know? Jiang Xiu's face was extremely ugly, and he snorted coldly and said.
Zhuo's heart was half cold when she saw his face, she glanced coldly at Cui Ping who was standing on the side, and then said: "Presumably some people sued me, and now the master wants to seek justice for her, right?" ”
Jiang Xiu ignored her yin and yang weird tone, but said directly: "You don't have to pretend garlic here with me, I want to ask you, is what Cui Ping said true?" ”
Zhuo Shi looked at Cui Ping, not knowing what she said before she arrived, she said in a light tone: "I don't know what she said, so I don't dare to admit it, so I still ask her to say it again, and confront her face to face." ”
Jiang Xiu looked at her for a long time, and just when Zhuo thought that he would not agree to his words, he suddenly said: "Okay, then according to what you say, see what else you can say." ”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and instructed Cui Ping: "Repeat what you just said to her." Cui Ping nodded, lowered her head and choked up as she repeated what she had just said.
Zhuo's eyes widened when she heard Cui Ping's words, she didn't expect Cui Ping to distort the facts to such an extent, she sneered and said, "What do you say to help me come up with an idea, it sounds good, since you entered the door, why haven't I seen you come up with a little idea?" Coming up with an idea is an excuse, right? ”
Jiang Xiu turned her gaze to Cui Ping, obviously urging her to say her idea with her eyes. Cui Ping met his gaze, but a little bead of sweat appeared on her forehead.
This was originally an excuse for her, how did she know if there was any way to get Jiang Aoxue to borrow money? Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she hurriedly said: "I heard that my sister couldn't borrow silver because she angered the princess, so I wanted my sister to send others to borrow silver from Niangniang, but in the end, she is Niangniang's own brother, how can she ignore Ye?" It's just that I'm angry with my sister. ”
Cui Ping's words directly hit Jiang Xiu's mind, and Jiang Xiu completely attributed the reason for not being able to borrow money to Zhuo's body, thinking that all this was Zhuo's fault.
But Zhuo didn't pay attention to Jiang Xiu's expression, but then sneered and said, "Send someone? Who to send? Did I send you to borrow money? Don't forget, you're just a concubine, and you're not qualified to appear in front of the princess at all, so don't be delusional. ”
"Now the master's predicament is the most important, although I am only a concubine, but I am also a member of the Hou Mansion, why can't I go to the princess? Besides, didn't my sister come back with money today? Cui Ping retorted with some grievances, her voice not at all as aggressive as in Zhuo's room just now.
Cui Ping's appearance made Jiang Xiu more inclined to her, in his heart, he already felt that Cui Ping was a virtuous helper who shared his worries, and Zhuo was a burden who would cause trouble for himself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiu's gaze at Zhuo's was even more gloomy, mixed with things that others couldn't understand.
