Chapter 105: Borrowing Money
Cui Ping had been paying attention to Jiang Xiu's gaze from the beginning, and when she saw that his face was gloomy, and she didn't know what she was thinking, she knew that her plan had been half successful, and Jiang Xiu had now begun to doubt Zhuo's.
As she expected, Jiang Xiu was already suspicious of Zhuo at the moment, and he suspected that Zhuo didn't want to borrow silver for herself at all, so she would say the wrong thing, make Jiang Aoxue angry, and prevent Cui Ping from volunteering to borrow silver.
But Zhuo Shi didn't pay attention, all her eyes were on Cui Ping's body, she hugged her arms, and said angrily: "You can't do this at all, who doesn't know that you have angered the princess before she got married, if you go to borrow silver, the princess will definitely not lend it to you." ”
"Who still remembers such a long time ago, maybe the princess has long forgotten it now." Cui Ping retorted, looking innocent.
"Anyway, I messed up the matter, so I would naturally go to the palace to ask the princess to lend us silver, but if you go out, you will simply lose the face of the Hou Mansion." Zhuo didn't want to argue with her about these things anymore, she directly turned her head and said, as if she didn't want to say anything more.
Cui Ping still wanted to refute, but she heard Jiang Xiu, who was sitting on the top seat, ask in a deep voice: "Let's take a look at this matter first, did you beat Cui Ping, she said that the injuries on her body were caused by you." ”
Zhuo Shi hesitated for a long time, then nodded and said, "I beat her, but I taught her a lesson because she was disrespectful, not to vent her anger at all." I am the young lady of the Hou Mansion, the future head of the house, don't I even have the right to punish the concubine? ”
"Don't confuse the public!" Jiang Xiu slapped the table heavily, made a loud noise, and then asked with a gloomy face: "Although you are a young lady, you don't have a casual lecture on concubines like you, is it possible that you saw that Cui Ping was favored and took the opportunity to vent your anger?" ”
Zhuo Shi was stunned, in the mansion of the powerful, it is very common for the lady to beat and scold a concubine at will, and there have been many cases of the wife beating the concubine to death before. So before she started today, she thought that Jiang Xiu would say a few words to her at most, but now it seems that things have developed in a way she didn't expect.
"I'm a wife, she's a concubine at best, why should I be jealous of her? Besides, it was obviously her who said wildly, such a concubine would have been killed a long time ago in the mansions of other powerful people, I just taught her a few lessons, what is there to make a fuss about? Zhuo Shi tried to argue.
But at this moment, Jiang Xiu's ears could no longer hear Zhuo's words, and he reprimanded with a cold face: "Still quibbling? It seems that if I don't teach you today, you won't have a long memory, if you can teach Cui Ping today, you will be able to turn my backyard upside down tomorrow, is the whole Houfu your master? ”
Zhuo's eyes widened, and he knelt down suddenly, tears flowed out instantly, and he complained with tears in his eyes: "Jiang Xiu, I am the wife you are marrying, you actually want to teach me a lesson for a little hoof, do you still have a conscience?" I will sue the ancestors and let them comment on the reasoning. ”
Speaking of this, she didn't care about Jiang Xiu's reaction at all, turned around and ran towards the door, now only the old ancestor can call the shots for her.
Jiang Xiu stood up suddenly, he didn't expect the Zhuo clan to be so rude, and he didn't even pay attention to himself. His face turned red with anger, and he shouted to the guards outside the study: "What are you still standing for?" Why don't you stop her soon? ”
The guards outside the study hurriedly made a move, but they didn't dare to hurt Zhuo's family, so they could only stop in front of her and respectfully persuade: "Young lady, please go back!" ”
Zhuo Shi was stopped, there was no way to move, and she felt so powerless for the first time. Even her husband didn't believe her, standing on the side of a little hoof, and she wanted to find someone else, but she couldn't move at all.
It would be nice if her children could grow up sooner, so that she could have a helper. When Zhuo Shi didn't know what to do, she suddenly thought of an idea, she quickly turned around and cried to Jiang Xiu: "Jiang Xiu, for the sake of the child's face, you can't do this!" If you punish me for a concubine, what will the child think when he grows up? ”
"Probably the child will be ashamed to have a mother like you!" Jiang Xiu's words pierced Zhuo's heart like a sharp sword, causing her to sit directly on the ground.
It turned out that Jiang Xiu looked at her like this, she no longer had any status in Jiang Xiu's heart, no wonder he didn't care about himself so much, and hated himself so much.
He obviously helped him give birth to a child, even if he didn't have credit, he had hard work, but he looked at himself like this, it was too much and hurt her heart.
Jiang Xiu didn't pay any attention to what she wanted to say, his gaze was taken back from Zhuo's body and placed on Cui Ping, who was standing aside and didn't speak. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Cui Ping was knowledgeable, and he didn't know how much better he was compared to Zhuo's, and said: "I have already stopped her, if you want to take revenge, go yourself, but don't go too far." ”
Even if the development of things has always been unexpected by Cui Ping, she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Jiang Xiu say such things, she didn't expect Jiang Xiu to let her teach Zhuo Shi a lesson by herself, and her excited body trembled slightly.
But Cui Ping's trembling looked in Jiang Xiu's eyes, and he thought she was afraid, he strode to Cui Ping's side, stopped her in his arms, stroked Cui Ping's back as if he was soothing, and said softly: "I'll let you go, don't be so afraid, if she dares to come to you for trouble in the future, I won't spare her." ”
Cui Ping tried to control the excitement in her heart, as a concubine, she could teach the housewife a lesson, it seems that the Zhuo family does not have any status in Jiang Xiu's heart, but her status is getting higher and higher, I am afraid that she will soon be able to become the new lady of this Houfu.
However, there has never been a matter of a concubine teaching a lesson to a lady in this world, if this matter is spread and reaches the ears above, I am afraid that I will also have a ** annoyance, right?
Thinking of this, she shrank and said, "As a concubine, where can I teach my wife a lesson?" If people find out, I'm afraid I won't be able to live. ”
Jiang Xiu naturally knew who Cui Ping was referring to, and he also felt in his heart that what Cui Ping said made sense, if it was really known by his grandmother, he really didn't have the ability to save Cui Ping. Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "You're right, then you don't do it, so as not to cause trouble, I'll just teach you a lesson." ”
Cui Ping nodded again and again, although she said that she would make Zhuo feel very humiliated, but after all, she would cause trouble for herself, in contrast, she hoped that Jiang Xiu would do it, firstly, the old ancestor's anger would not be transferred to her head, and secondly, it would also let Zhuo taste the pain of being taught by her beloved husband.
was originally a man who belonged to herself, but because of another woman and taught herself, this kind of pain would be unbearable for anyone, and she Cuiping didn't believe that Zhuo could be indifferent.
As Cui Ping expected, now Zhuo's heart is full of mixed feelings, including humiliation, anger, and grievances. She only now understands that Jiang Xiu didn't want to give her any chance to speak in the first place, and he had already convicted herself even before she appeared in the study.
No, he felt guilty when she didn't borrow the silver, and now Cui Ping just handed the knife to him, and he didn't hesitate to take the knife and wanted to give himself a knife.
She is his wife, the wife of this Houfu, I didn't expect him to be on his side at all, but asked the concubine to teach him a lesson, where did this rule come from?
Zhuo Shi felt that she was simply disillusioned now, it was better to hang herself with a white silk, in such a place, her status has become like this, what is the point of her life?
But as soon as this thought came out, she cut it off by herself, if she hanged herself, wouldn't it make Cui Ping happy? Didn't she take the initiative to give up the position of the young lady of Houfu? And if she dies, can Cui Ping treat her children well? will definitely try to kill the child, so she must live, only alive can she continue to fight with Cui Ping, and only alive can she protect her child.
Thinking of this, Zhuo's gaze was also much firmer, she looked up at Jiang Xiu directly, and said viciously: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." What if I teach her a lesson? Can you stop me today, and can you stop me every day? If you beat me up for this slut today, I'll let the whole world know about it tomorrow. ”
Jiang Xiu was stunned, Zhuo's threat really worked for him, after all, he couldn't look at her every day, and he would let her go out to borrow money in the future, if this matter was publicized, others would only say that Zhuo's was pitiful, but he would definitely say that he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, which was against human ethics.
Moreover, what he was most worried about was that this matter would reach the ears of Zhuo's mother's family, when Zhuo's mother's family came to make a fuss before, he still felt that his memory was still fresh, and he felt that his head hurt a little when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but start thinking about whether to teach Zhuo a lesson.
Cui Ping was still excited, waiting to see a good show, but she didn't expect Zhuo Shi to calm Jiang Xiu after only saying a few words, her eyes showed obvious contempt and dissatisfaction, her eyes moved, and she came up with another idea, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Jiang Xiu: "It's all my fault, let my lord and sister make trouble to this extent, let my lord forgive my sister this time!" Presumably she won't dare in the future, and I won't let my master help get justice, this little injury is nothing, just go back and get the medicine for a while! ”
