Tong Yuqing said: "It's one thing whether she sees it or not, and it's another thing whether we write it or not." I'll write it, and you will send it yourself when I'm done. ”

Qing Ziting bowed his head, and the two went to the study together to write a letter, Tong Yuqing said as she wrote, "Don't go to the main gate after you arrive at the Overseer's Mansion, just go through the east gate, otherwise it will be too easy to attract attention." It's best if you can see her, and you can't stand outside the door for a quarter of an hour at most and come back. ”

After Qing Ziting recorded Tong Yuqing's words, he rushed to the Overseer's Mansion, and as soon as he arrived at the east gate, he saw Bai Qiaoxuan also standing there, so he asked, "How long have you been here?" ”

"Just arrived." Bai Qiaoxuan saw the letter in his hand and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Yuqing is the same as I thought, if people can't get in, let the letter go first." ”

Qing Ziting said angrily: "When is it, do you still have the leisure to laugh?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, the sky can't fall, and even if it falls, it won't hit your head." ”

Qing Ziting was in no mood to pay attention to his jokes, he kept looking at the door, Yu Huan told them that Lu Xi didn't want to see guests and never came back, he followed Tong Yuqing's instructions, and returned home after waiting for two quarters of an hour.

Tong Yuqing knew what the situation was when she saw his face, she could only comfort him, and also comfort herself, praying that the situation would not develop to the point of being out of control......

Although it was the height of summer, Luci still wrapped himself in a thick quilt, as if this would ward off the cold in his heart. Unconsciously, the past came to her heart......

When she was a child, she had heard two maids talk about how she came to be in this world.

Qingchen was repeatedly persecuted by Zhong Shunhua back then, Lu Tiansheng was angry with Zhong Shunhua, married two aunts at a time, and said to Zhong Shunhua: "You torture one aunt, I marry two, you torture two aunts, I marry four, if you have the ability, you will torture all the women in the world to death!" ”

This struggle ended with the He family giving birth to Lu Jingpeng, because Zhong Shunhua began to be afraid that a steady stream of aunts would give birth to more and more sons to Lu Tiansheng, and those more and more sons would make her own sons more and more dangerous, so for the first time in her life, she lowered her noble head and begged Lu Tiansheng softly, which led to Lu Xi.

Lu Xi still remembers how the two tongue-chewing maids were beaten to death by his mother's order, and he remembers why he came from here. She was begged by her mother to protect her eldest brother. The value of her existence is to make her father not so disgusted with her mother and eldest brother. She succeeded, her father loved her very much, and because of her existence, the relationship between her parents eased in a short period of time. But the more she grows up, the more she realizes that her parents are just struggling to maintain this crumbling marriage, and if it were not for the common interests of Puxi, her family would have been scattered long ago. She wanted to escape more and more, from this vast, sprawling, lifeless home, and she succeeded, and in the vastness of the world, she almost forgot the home that made her miserable and annoying.

Jin Du suddenly came with the news that her second brother was about to get married, that was the first time she felt the joy from her family, and it was also the first time that she was extremely eager to have a warm home. At this time, Bai Qiaoxuan fell from the sky, making her think that he was the most precious gift from God to herself, and when she was with him, she felt joy and happiness that she had never felt before, and she also experienced the shyness and nervousness that she had never experienced. She thought that they would grow up together and grow old slowly, but unfortunately once Huang Liang woke up from a dream, everything was an illusion, a lie, and a scam. The person she thinks she loves the most is actually only a tool for revenge, a pawn in a transaction. She thought she loved her brother the most, and she sacrificed herself for the person he loved the most. It turns out that from beginning to end, there is no one in this world who truly loves her, and everyone will create her, use her, and sacrifice her for their own interests......

A glare of sunlight hit Luci's face, making her unable to help but tuck her head into the covers, but before she could fully hide inside, she was dragged out by a man.

"In broad daylight, the curtains won't open, the bed won't go down, and the quilt won't come out, are you ready to hibernate, Miss?"

Lucy frowned, trying to snatch the quilt back, "Leave me alone, I'm going to sleep!" ”

"It's summer! Do you need this thick quilt to sleep? Aren't you afraid of prickly heat? The quarrel between the husband and wife is nothing more than some trivial things, and the mother sees Qiao Xuan standing at the gate of the mansion every day for the past two days, waiting for your forgiveness. You two, and there is no such intolerable estrangement between me and your father, and you can put on the posture of the eldest lady for two days, what is the big thing worth you to shrink yourself in the house all day, without eating, drinking, or sleeping? ”

Lucy's anger was aroused in an instant, and she shouted, "I'm just a stupid stupid fool! Idiot! will believe that he, a big liar, really loves me! will believe that the second brother is the best brother for me, and he will not abandon me no matter what! Be! I'm stupid! I'm stupid! I can't help myself! I'm good for nothing! I've already admitted it, I've already hid far away, why are you still pestering me?! Why can't you just let me go?! ”

Zhong Shunhua had never seen her daughter lose her temper so much, and she was stunned for a while, and it took a while to realize that things were not as simple as she imagined, and she couldn't help but grab her daughter and ask, "What's going on with you and Qiao Xuan?" What does this have to do with that wild seed? ”

Lu Xi cried: "Everything is as you said, Bai Qiaoxuan didn't marry me because he loved me at all!" He is not clear with that Tong Yuqing! The second brother had known about the matter between them for a long time, but he still married Tong Yuqing, and watched Bai Qiaoxuan marry me in revenge for him. They are all liars, big liars! ”

Zhong Shunhua was stunned for a moment before hugging her daughter and crying: "Xi'er, my mother told you a few years ago that that wild seed was not born from the same mother as you, and it is impossible to really love you as a sister, and my mother also told you that Bai Qiaoxuan is not a good thing, but you just refuse to listen to your mother's words, you have to treat them as relatives and mother as enemies, and now that you are being bullied like this, you know that your mother is good, is it too late......

Lu Xi cried silently, but Zhong Shunhua quickly wiped away his tears and said fiercely: "Xi'er, don't cry, we don't cry for people who don't love us." Let the relatives hurt, and the enemies are happy. Rest assured, with Mother here, Mother will definitely return to them a thousand times the pain they brought you. Well, let's go wash our faces first, and then go eat some porridge......"

Lu Xi didn't eat or drink for two days and two nights, and he had no strength to break free from Zhong Shunhua's shackles, so he could only let the people around him fiddle like a lifeless rag doll......

Qing Zi Ting's house

Qing Ziting pulled Rong Hui's arm and begged, "Aunt Hui, can you wait a while?" We have something to discuss......"

Rong Hui didn't use much strength to shake off his hand, and said lightly: "Second Young Master, this is Madame's order, those of us who are subordinates have to obey, please don't embarrass the old slave." Second young grandmother, please go with the old slave. ”

As she spoke, she motioned for the three maids to take Tong Yuqing away. With Tong Yuqing's strength, not to mention these three maids, even the three family members, she can completely break free, but out of guilt for Lu Xi, she still said to Qing Ziting: "Madam just invited me to sit in the Overseer's Mansion, as the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, where is there any reason to refuse to be the housewife?" ”

Qing Ziting wanted to say more, but Tong Yuqing shook her head and said softly: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself." ”

Qing Ziting had no choice but to watch as Rong Hui took Tong Yuqing away. As soon as they walked out of the gate with their front feet, Qing Ziting ran to Bai Mansion with their back feet, and happened to meet Bai Qiaoxuan, who was about to go out to the Overseer's Mansion.

Bai Qiaoxuan saw his panicked expression, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Yuqing?" ”

Qing Ziting panted and said, "Ruo Wan was ...... I was taken away by Aunt Hui......"

Bai Qiaoxuan poured him a glass of water, dismissed everyone in the hall, and said, "You take it slow for a while, and then talk slowly, how did Aunt Hui take Yuqing away?" She didn't say anything, and took Yuqing away directly, or did she take Yuqing away in the name of visiting or something? ”

Qing Ziting drank a glass of water and said: "Just now we had breakfast, Aunt Hui came with a few maids, she said that Mrs. has not seen the second young grandmother for a long time, and she misses it very much, so she specially came to invite the second young grandmother to come over as a guest." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan thought about it and said, "It seems that Zhong Shunhua just wants to make things difficult for Yuqing in secret, and he doesn't want to make things bigger. Yuqing can handle it. ”

Qing Ziting shook his head, "No." You don't know her methods, but when I was a child, I saw her people prick their mother's acupuncture points with very fine silver needles, and this kind of punishment can make people feel painful but undetectable on the surface. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan thought that Zhong Shunhua just looked fierce on the surface, but in fact she was just a papier-mâché tiger, but she didn't expect her to be so vicious. He thought carefully about the countermeasures, and said slowly: "In this way, you send a few reliable people from your mansion to the Overseer's Mansion to inquire about the news, I think there must be not only Zhong Shunhua's people in the Overseer's Mansion, but your father's people must also be hiding in the shadows." If they see Yuqing suffering, and they meet your person asking for news, they will definitely pass the news on. Let's play it by ear. If Zhong Shunhua just asked Yuqing to do some heavy and dirty work, then she could handle it completely by herself, and there was no need for us to interfere......"

Before he could finish speaking, Qing Ziting was anxious, "How can you let Ruo Jian suffer like this?" No, I'll go to my father......"

Bai Qiaoxuan hurriedly grabbed him, "Since you came to look for me, you have to listen to me." Do you think I'm going to hurt Yuqing? You have to believe me, Yuqing is not an ordinary weak woman, what storms has she not passed? What scene haven't you seen? She was wounded by a gunshot, and she could pull me a big man back from the edge of the cliff, Zhong Shunhua's little trick, she can definitely deal with it, where is the need to carry out your father's big Buddha? Your father is the savior we can't invite unless we have to, otherwise Zhong Shunhua's anger will have nowhere to come out, and she will be pestering us endlessly, understand? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan said it so clearly, Qing Ziting could only nod and listen to him continue: "Tomorrow is Zhong Shunhua's fiftieth birthday, as long as she still wants the dignity of the Overseer's wife, tomorrow will definitely let Yuqing appear at the birthday banquet safe and sound." So as long as she doesn't go too far, we can see Yuqing until tomorrow. But if she secretly uses those shady methods for Yuqing, we don't have to worry about so much, you go to your father immediately. ”

Qing Ziting responded and asked, "What about you?" ”

"At this time, I can only pretend that I don't care about Yuqing and beg Xi'er for forgiveness wholeheartedly, so that Zhong Shunhua can dispel his doubts about me and stop targeting Yuqing like that."

Qing Ziting said: "Okay. I'll go back to the house to arrange for manpower, and you should hurry to the Overseer's Mansion, if there is anything, we will contact you by phone. ”

When Tong Yuqing was introduced into the main room, he saw Zhong Shunhua sitting on the main seat flipping through the book, so he knelt down respectfully and saluted, and said, "Yuqing greets Madame." ”

Zhong Shunhua didn't raise his head, his eyes didn't move, as if he didn't hear Tong Yuqing's voice, he was still looking at the book. Tong Yuqing was not flustered or annoyed, and knelt motionless at Zhong Shunhua's feet.

Half an hour later, Zhong Shunhua casually picked up the teacup on the table, as if he had just found that there was no tea in the cup, and said casually: "Go and make me a pot of tea." ”

Tong Yuqing knew that there was no one else in the house, and she said this to herself, so she got up and limped to boil hot water for her to make tea, and after a while, she respectfully brought the tea to Zhong Shunhua, "Madam, please use tea." ”

Zhong Shunhua took the teacup, his hand shook suddenly, and the hot tea splashed on Tong Yuqing's hand, Zhong Shunhua roared angrily: "You want to burn me to death?!" ”

Tong Yuqing soothed the wound and respectfully apologized, "Yuqing knows her mistake, so I'll go and change a cup of tea for my wife." ”

Not long after, Tong Yuqing brought a cup of slightly cooler tea, but Zhong Shunhua thought the temperature was too low, so he poured the tea on Tong Yuqing's face. Tong Yuqing brushed off the tea on her face, and was about to pour Zhong Shunhua a cup of tea that was neither hot nor cold, Zhong Shunhua had already picked up the teapot first, "Forget it, look at your stupid appearance, you can't even pour a cup of tea, so I'll pour it myself." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhong Shunhua picked up the teapot, he exclaimed, "Ah! Bugger! ”

Tong Yuqing really saw a worm in the middle of the broken porcelain pieces, sighed secretly, and knelt down, "Yuqing should be damned, I didn't clean the teapot carefully, please ask Mrs. to confess." ”

Zhong Shunhua shouted: "Someone! Drag me out and replay the twenty boards. ”

Tong Yuqing didn't argue either, and let them fiddle with themselves. She didn't have any waves in her heart, but her body reacted honestly to the discomfort, but Zhong Shunhua didn't notice this at all, and wanted to play again after playing the 20th board.

Seeing Tong Yuqing's face flushed, Rong Hui stepped forward to probe her snort, and leaned into Zhong Shunhua's ear and said, "Madam, her old injuries have not healed, and new injuries have been added, and if she continues to fight, I am afraid that she will die." Tomorrow is your birthday, and the slave thinks it's better not to see blood. ”

Zhong Shunhua thought about it, so he said: "Take her back to the house first, and give her an acupuncture at night." ”

In the chaos, Tong Yuqing had countless dreams, saw countless people, and finally returned to the cliff of nine deaths, Bai Qiaoxuan refused to climb up no matter what, he slipped and didn't catch a hand, he fell down......

"Qiao Xuan!"

Zhong Shunhua blushed, "This shameless slut!" A man who doesn't forget someone else in his dreams. Rong Hui, gag her mouth for me and make her sober! ”

After Rong Hui got the order, she pierced the silver needle in the Baihui acupoint on the top of Tong Yuqing's head, Tong Yuqing trembled instantly, and screamed in pain, but she was gagged beforehand, and it was pouring rain outside, no matter how loud the scream was, no one outside the house could hear it.

The people outside the house couldn't hear it, and Qing Ziting and Bai Qiaoxuan didn't know what kind of punishment she had suffered inside, although they couldn't sleep all night, they didn't do anything.

After Zhong Shunhua finished the sentence for Tong Yuqing, she asked Rong Hui to give her a simple treatment, hoping that she could appear at her birthday banquet safe and sound.

Because this year is Zhong Shunhua's 50th birthday, there are many guests who come to celebrate his birthday, and although the birthday banquet is held in the evening, the street at the main entrance of the Overseer's Mansion in the morning is already full.

As Zhong Shunhua's close friend, Xi Yiqian came to congratulate Zhong Shunhua on his birthday early. When Zhong Shunhua saw her, her gloomy mood in the past few days has also cleared a little. This time, Xi Yiqian also brought her three children to celebrate her birthday, Zhong Shunhua didn't see Gu Weihong, pulled Xi Yiqian aside and asked in a low voice: "Did you let Weihong stay with Huaijun to deal with government affairs again?" ”

Xi Yiqian nodded, and Zhong Shunhua sighed: "Are you stupid?" You are the mother of the Gu family, and the future of the Gu family should naturally be in the hands of your son. Even if Wei Qing is not angry, isn't there still Wei Wei? No matter how you fight, you will give up the position of the future head of the Gu family? Although Yiling is your own sister, you can't ...... to guard against people."

Xi Yiqian interrupted her, "Your set, let's use it in your family." Even if Wei Hong is not Huai Jue's child, he is also my own nephew, and it is within my duty to plan for him, not to mention that he is still Huai Jue's son, and he has the ability to support this family business? ”

"But he's not your own."

Xi Yiqian secretly sighed and didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, and when she didn't know what to divert the topic, Gu Weiqing suddenly stepped forward and said: "Is it my mother's own birth, they are all my own brothers, it is rare to have a younger brother in the family who can be in charge, it is too late for me and Wei Wei to be happy." The kind of thing that is not occupied in vain, and I have to be tired and tired every day to be busy with this and that, so I am not uncommon. ”

Zhong Shunhua said angrily: "When the elders speak, you can overhear, but you still want to interject?" If you weren't so unseemly, wouldn't you need your aunt to worry about it here? ”

Gu Weiqing muttered in a low voice: "It's my fault......"

Xi Yiqian scolded: "What did you say?!" ”

Gu Weiqing could only smile and flatteringly hold his mother's shoulder, "I said, it's all my fault......"

Gu Weiwei also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mother, today we are here to celebrate Aunt Lu's birthday, on the big day, you can let go of the eldest brother." ”

Zhong Shunhua took advantage of the situation to hold Gu Weiwei's hand, and instructed earnestly: "Weiwei, your eldest brother is not angry, you have to support your mother, help your father share some government affairs, don't let Na Weihong do everything." ”

Gu Weiwei's obsession with Zhong Shunhua was also extremely helpless, but for the sake of her birthday today, she still nodded cooperatively.

At this time, Gu Weiyan came up with a gift box and smiled sweetly: "Auntie, this is a birthday gift prepared for you by Xiang'er, please accept it with a smile." ”

Zhong Shunhua smiled when she saw Gu Wei'er, hugged her and said, "It's still my aunt who is the most intimate, let my aunt see what gift my Yan'er gave me...... Wow! It's a birthday picture! Xiang'er's painting skills are really getting better and better. ”

Gu Weiyan smiled sweetly, "I wish my aunt the sun and the moon shine together, and spring and autumn will not grow old." ”

Zhong Shunhua laughed, "Thank you, Yan'er!" ”

Xi Yiqian said to Zhong Shunhua: "On your birthday next year, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come." ”

Zhong Shunhua wondered, "Why?" ”

"Xiang'er wants to go out to study, I discussed it with Huaijue, and allowed her to go out for three years."

Zhong Shunhua was a little surprised, "Huh? Yu'er is still so young, how can you rest assured that she will go out alone? ”

Xi Yiqian smiled: "Not alone. One of the boys in the school would go with her. ”

Zhong Shunhua was even more shocked, "What? What do you mean......"

Xi Yiqian nodded, "It's the child of the Xuan family, the second son of the director of the Ningtai Garrison Bureau." ”

Zhong Shunhua muttered: "Isn't that not as good as the Gu family?" We were born with dignity and beauty, so why should we get married? ”

Xi Yiqian said angrily: "Why do you think about your family background? Is it that as long as the family background is good, character, potential, and appearance are not important? The boy's father is Huai Jue's old friend and partner for many years, and he knows the roots, except for Tiansheng, that is, him. Why can't Yu'er marry into his family? ”

Zhong Shunhua sighed: "I don't just look at my family background, I just hope that Xiang'er will not repeat Xi'er's mistakes, not only married, but also married a person who deceives himself wholeheartedly." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room exploded.

Xi Yiqian asked, "What do you mean?" Did something happen between Xi'er and Qiao Xuan? ”

Gu Weiwei asked, "What's wrong with Xi'er?" ”

Gu Weiyan asked, "How did Brother-in-law Xi deceive Sister Xi?" ”

Gu Weiqing rolled up his arms and rolled up his sleeves, "What?" Bai Qiaoxuan, that kid dared to bully Xi'er? Does he not want to live anymore? I'm going to let him understand what the consequences of bullying my sister are?! ”

Zhong Shunhua grabbed Gu Weiqing and told her what she knew from beginning to end, Gu Weiqing said angrily: "I have long thought that Tong Yuqing is not a simple woman. As a woman, she is not gentle, she is not kind, but kills people like a man without blinking, such a woman does not hook up, what kind of woman will hook up with three? Loss Ziting is still wholeheartedly devoted to her! What a shame! ”

Compared to him, Xi Yiqian was much calmer, and muttered: "You said that Zhi'er knew that Bai Qiaoxuan's purpose in approaching Xi'er was not pure, and she still watched Xi'er marry him?" Zhi'er won't ignore his sister like this, does he have any troubles? ”
