289: You and I are being taken advantage of
Old Mrs. Ji looked at Aunt Su and was very majestic: "You raise your head first and answer my words." ”
Aunt Su raised her head, looked at her timidly, and couldn't help but glance sideways at Ji Yao, crying and said, "Min Lang, you have to believe me, I really don't know." ”
Min He is Ji Yao's character. It was taken by his father when he was born, and he didn't like Ji Min and this title very much, so he didn't use it. But every time Aunt Su just called him, his heart would become extremely soft. I wanted not to pursue it, but because my mother was still there, I could only say: "Don't always kneel, get up and talk first."
Nalan Jinxiu hid in the crowd and watched this scene, thinking of the third brother carrying him all the way back from the ancestral hall. It seems that the third brother protects his wife, this is with his father, but after thinking about it, Aunt Su is not Ji Yao's wife, nor is she her mother-in-law.
Old Mrs. Ji glared at Aunt Su when she was about to get up, and Aunt Su knelt back obediently. Then the old lady said, "You mean these two girls are wronging you?"
"Yes. ”
"Pass it on again. ”
So two rough mothers-in-law came in, and the two mothers-in-law knelt down and said: "The slave and maid are in charge of the table, chair and bench, and they are settling in the courtyard at that time, Aunt Su instructed the slaves and maids, no matter what movement comes from the room, the slaves and maids are not allowed to enter, who let us pretend not to hear and do our own work." ”
"What else do you have to say? It can't be that the two of them have been bought!"
Aunt Su also knew that this reason was not convincing, so she stopped talking. was about to turn to Ji Yao for help, when he heard Mrs. Ji say again: "I have asked people to check all the minions in Aunt Luo's yard at that time, and the results are all so." ”
Aunt Su didn't expect these people to be so spineless, usually she was in charge of the back house and obeyed her. Now she said this sentence by them, and now she can't wash it even if she jumps into the Yellow River.
She knew that her only lifeline was Ji Yao, he had always pitied himself and would never ignore her. She knelt and moved to Ji Yao's side, crying and said, "I said this, and it also prompted Aunt Luo and Aunt Zhang to quarrel, but I just hope that you are tired of Aunt Luo and don't stay with her." I never thought about having a miscarriage, I think this Aunt Zhang has a soft and kind personality, at most she will quarrel a few words, I really didn't expect her to be Aunt Luo. Harming people and having an abortion is something I wouldn't dare to do anyway, Min Lang ......"
"You're still lying!" Mrs. Ji reprimanded her: "I have already asked people to interrogate Aunt Luo, and she said that it was you who threatened her and asked her to say that Aunt Zhang pushed her." ”
"I didn't. ”
Mrs. Ji shook her head: "I used to think that you were small and liked to make small movements, but you are just a concubine, even if it is harmless, I will turn a blind eye." Who knew that you didn't know more and more about convergence, how did you say I would let you stay?"
Aunt Su shook her head violently, she held the corner of Ji Yao's robe, and begged: "Min Lang, I really did it unintentionally. Punish me, don't kick me out. You know, I'm here without relatives and no reason, and there's nowhere to go. ”
"Don't worry, I'll settle someone and send you back to your hometown. Old Lady Ji said in front of Ji Yao.
"Min Lang ......" Aunt Su held the corner of Ji Yao's robe tightly, like grasping her last life-saving straw.
"Mother is angry, and I hope you will spare her for the sake of giving birth to a pair of children for her son. ”
"You should know that although I am strict in governing the family, I am generous enough to the people below. This time, it would be fine if she really made an unintentional mistake, but she knew that it was her own fault, but she wanted to push it on Aunt Zhang, thinking about her life. With such a vicious heart, how can I tolerate her?"
"Mother's ......"
"Shut up! If you still recognize me as your mother in your heart, don't intercede for her anymore. ”
Aunt Su saw that Mrs. Ji had made up her mind, and knew that it would be difficult to shake it. She raised her head and looked at Ji Yao, this time she didn't cry, but narrated very calmly: "I followed you at the age of sixteen, and my heart is on you, and everyone says that among all these aunts, you love me the most."
But I don't want to hear them say the word aunt, I think I am the woman who knows you best in the world, and I can be your wife. I have served you with all my heart, and I hope that you will make me right, so that I will no longer be despised. How many years, how many years have your wife died, and you have never refused.
If I were your wife, how could I be like this today? Brother Ye'er's wife offended you today and regarded it as unfilial, but she was only punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and she was taken away halfway. My unintentional mistakes will end up being expelled, and it is not because of my low status that I can be trampled on. ”
Ji Yao tilted his head, how could he not know what Aunt Su was thinking? Which of these aunts in his backyard didn't want to be supported as a stepmother? Unfortunately, he was indifferent by nature, neither affectionate nor dedicated. Multiple concubines, but to raise more people in the backyard, and the woman who can be his wife must be noble and pure, and his wife is first.
Aunt Su saw that Ji Yao was unmoved, and knew that he was planning to not want her. She smiled, and only now did she understand that although he was a businessman, he was rich enough to rival the country, and he didn't know how many women were attentive to him, so how special could she be?
She can't go back, and her only bargaining chips are the two children she gave birth to. She knelt down in a proper manner, kowtowed to Mrs. Ji, and said in a calm tone: "I can't go back, and Sister Ling is not hired, Brother Can is not married, they can't do without me." I would like to eat fast and recite Buddha in the wing room in the backyard of the ancestral hall to atone for my sins. I will not fail to come out without the old lady's orders, but I beg you to leave me. ”
"In that case, you will first stay in the backyard wing, and I will arrange for someone to take care of your diet and daily life, and supervise you by the way. If you have a more evil mind, you will not keep it. ”
Aunt Su kowtowed respectfully, took off the hairpin ring on her head, and was then taken away by several sturdy mothers-in-law. When passing by Nalan Jinxiu's side, she smiled and whispered, "You and I have been used by others, I hope you will do it yourself." ”
Nalan Jinxiu was confused by her words, and couldn't understand what she meant. Could it be that she knew that she was gone, so she deliberately planted a seed of doubt in her heart? If Aunt Su wasn't talking about it, who would it be?
"If you don't go back with me, what are you doing standing here stupidly?" Ji Hongye couldn't help but say when he saw her stunned.
Nalan Jinxiu came back to his senses when he heard his voice and found that the people in the ancestral hall had already left. She walked up to him, tugged at his sleeve, and followed him back.
Ji Hongye didn't shake her hand, so he just held her like this. Thinking that she had a knee injury, he walked very slowly, and he was very close to her. Nalan Jinxiu was still thinking about what Aunt Su had just said, knowing that she was pulling the sleeve of the third brother's coat and didn't look at the road, so she followed him by feeling.
Then, Ji Hongye was unhappy and very unhappy.
"Didn't I tell you to rest in the yard and not be allowed to come out? Could it be that your knees don't hurt anymore?"
When you're angry, the tone of your speech is always not good. He hid his emotions in front of others, so it didn't seem to have changed, but in her place, he didn't hide it at all, and Nalan Jinxiu naturally heard his emotions.
"I'm worried, Aunt Su is such a cunning person, I'm afraid that she will provoke you and your father. But I didn't expect that my grandmother was transparent, if she had made a move earlier, where would I still use kneeling in the ancestral hall. ”
"Grandmother had her problems. If it weren't for the foreshadowing in the early stage, then the fact that she was telling right and wrong and causing my father to lose peace with me would not be fatal. ”
Nalan Jinxiu faintly understood when she heard him say this, and she asked uncertainly: "You mean, grandmother listed her so many crimes, and it was this one that really made my father decide to give up on her?"
"Yes. I decide the rise and fall of the Ji family with my father, some small actions, and even murder for money, my father can tolerate Aunt Su, but he will never be shaken by this. ”
Therefore, no matter how the people of the Ji family and the people outside think that their father-son relationship is not good, they are suspicious of each other. None of them can hinder them from having a common belief in their hearts, that is, to keep the family prosperous and safe.
"Oh, but I think my father is still reluctant to Aunt Su. Nalan Jinxiu told the truth.
Ji Hongye doesn't like to hear this very much, and he doesn't even want to mention his father's aunts. In his heart, his mother loves his father deeply, but unfortunately his father is a merciful person, to put it bluntly, he doesn't understand feelings.
"I'm reluctant to get in the way of you again, don't ask so much at a young age. ”
Nalan Jinxiu was inexplicably trained by him, and she didn't like him to say this, no matter how she listened to it, she was treated as a child. Thinking so in her heart, she muttered a few words.
"Say two words to you, you still don't want to?" Ji Hongye took down her hand holding her sleeve and held it in his hand.
"Well, if you discipline me again, of course I don't want to. ”
"Your leg doesn't hurt anymore?"
Nalan Jinxiu's eyes rolled, very delicate, she smiled and nodded: "It hurts, especially after standing for so long, it hurts to death." ”
Ji Hongye also ignored her, looking at her exaggerated appearance, he knew that she was mostly pretending. Seeing that he was not fooled, Nalan Jinxiu knew that the third brother was shrewd like that, so he specified that he could see that she was pretending. So, she didn't pretend at all, and hugged his arm tightly with both hands, playing tricks.
"What are you doing?" he didn't even give her a look.
"I can't walk anymore, you carry me. ”
"Don't. He simply refused.
"Yes. ”
“......”
Nalan Jinxiu pursed her lips aggrievedly: "You didn't reject me before." ”
"Come on, come on. Ji Hongye leaned down and said helplessly.
