Chapter 98: Punishment
"Master Jia, the villain has made it very clear to you. Miss doesn't see you, you..."
Jia Xuan couldn't help but feel lost when he heard this, but he was used to it, Tao Xueqi had always just asked people to bring him words, and he had never come out to talk to her by himself.
If others were afraid that they would have given up a long time ago, this Jia Gongzi and the eldest lady have only met once and done this, which is really infatuated. The girl who talked back and forth couldn't bear it, and on the other hand, she thought that she was afraid that she was confused by the beautiful skin of the young lady, and she didn't know her nature.
The little girl couldn't bear to see it, and couldn't help but say: "Master Jia, in fact, Miss is not what you think, Miss She..."
"How am I?"
Tao Xueqi's voice suddenly came out behind her, and the girl couldn't help but be startled, and even her heartbeat missed a beat. Chewing the root of the master's tongue behind his back, the object of the arrangement is still the eldest lady, and it's over.
Thinking so in her heart, she knelt down towards Tao Xueqi, and was just about to open her mouth when she was interrupted by Tao Xueqi.
"Alright, you go down. I have a few words to talk to Jia Gongzi alone. β
Hearing this, the maid couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and retreated without looking back. At first, it was a quick walk, but then when the distance was farther, he ran directly, and after a while, he disappeared.
"Jia Gongzi." Tao Xueqi looked at him and said loudly.
Jia Xuan had been watching her distracted since just now, and only then did he come back to his senses when he heard her voice.
"Ahh Yes. Tao, Tao girl. He blushed from his neck to his face.
Tao Xueqi smiled, "The sugar man last time... Thank you. β
Jia Xuan touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly and said, "It's a trivial matter, it's nothing." β
"Then I may ask, how did you know I wanted to eat candy?"
Jia Xuan's body froze in place, and he looked up at Tao Xueqi in embarrassment, "This, that, I..."
Tao Xueqi saw that he was embarrassed, but he didn't plan to be embarrassed by him, so he didn't want to say it. She just wanted to say this, but Jia Xuan opened her mouth unexpectedly.
"Sorry, I accidentally saw it last time I came. I know it's not good to listen to people's corners, and I have no ill intentions. He hurriedly explained, dancing his hands in a disorderly manner, the expression on his face was nervous and cautious that he had never seen before, and he was always looking at Tao Xueqi's expression, afraid that she would be angry and upset her. He's really trying to explain.
Tao Xueqi blinked silently, lowered her eyes and laughed silently.
"Jia Gongzi, there are some things in this world that are done, even if there is no malice-"
Jia Xuan lowered his head, and his waving hands also drooped. ββ¦ I understand, sorry. β
Tao Xueqi: "Having said that, I'm not here to blame Childe. β
"Huh? That girl is today..."
"It's good that Childe has a warm-hearted heart, but if you do this to everyone, you will definitely suffer in the future."
"You're no one else, you're me..."Jia Xuan whispered, silently repeating the three words of his fiancΓ©e in his heart. Although he was not sure of Tao Xueqi's words, he always felt that there was another layer of meaning in them.
"I'll go first today."
"Wait a minute." Tao Xueqi shouted to him.
The heart in Jia Xuan's chest beat violently, he didn't want to stand here at this moment, and he didn't want to continue listening to her. He didn't want to hear what she said next, but he couldn't move away from her.
Tao Xueqi sighed lightly in her heart and said, "Thank you very much for accompanying me these days." But Childe should also be aware that I have no love for you for so many days, so don't force this marriage. I believe that Childe will have other good relationships in the future. β
Jia Xuan turned his back to her, and his throat choked up and down, because of her words, there was a tingling pain in his heart.
"Just a few days... Miss Tao is so sure? β
He slowly turned around and looked at Tao Xueqi. "I noticed that the girl had no affection for me, and was even playing with me. But that's willing. And..."
He paused and said, "Besides, although the girl doesn't like me, she doesn't hate me either." Why didn't you even give me a chance to give it a try? β
"As I said, you're a warm-hearted person, a good person, you don't hate but you don't like it." Tao Xueqi said bluntly: "This kind of thing is not suitable for beating around the bush, and some things will be said directly." I don't think that way about you; I'm not suitable for you. β
With that, she turned and walked back, about to leave.
"Don't come back in the future, and even if you do, no one will let you in." Tao Xueqi: "It's not for no reason that the people in the house are afraid of me, some things will not have a result, or there will be no result." If you don't hit the south wall, you won't die - I don't think that's necessary. β
She turned her head and smiled at Jia Xuan, "Some people... As long as you see the good side, it is enough, otherwise you will be disappointed and bored. β
Jia Xuan lowered his head, not even looking at her back as she left. At that time, he didn't understand what she said very well, but he thought she was very direct, and then left down an unfathomable sentence.
He's a nice guy, but she doesn't mean that to him. I had a lot of fun playing with him before, and she was very grateful?
What...
ββ¦ Who likes you anymore? He chuckled as he covered his face with one hand. For the first time in my life, what do you like...
The falling flowers above were scattered in front of his eyes, and he couldn't think of anything for a while. It's so beautiful, so I just want to look at it like that.
Jia Xuan put down his hand to cover his eyes, unable to say what he felt in his heart.
There are many people who like flowers, but there are many people who are sad because of the flowers, and there are very few who are really sad, because we all know that this time next year, the flowers will bloom again, and the people who enjoy the flowers will come again.
He was just bewitched by the liking.
Jia Xuan left the Tao Mansion, and soon after, Tao Xuanming went to Jia's house to officially dissolve the marriage contract.
After that, for a long time, Jia Xuan was often seen passing by the gate of the Tao Mansion, but he never stepped forward to knock on the door, just stood quietly in an inconspicuous place and looked in which direction.
This has become infatuation in the eyes of others, and he refuses to give up until now.
Father Tao knew that Jia Xuan often came to the house, and when he saw the sugar man in Tao Xueqi's hand that day, he couldn't help asking, "Where did it come from?" β
"A fool sent it." Tao Xueqi saw him coming, put down the sugar man in his hand, and turned to look at him.
Tao Xuanming's gaze turned away from Tao Xueqi, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing when his gaze fell on the sugar man, and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes.
"You have a good impression of that kid from the Jia family."
Not a question, but a fairly affirmative tone.
Tao Xueqi's expression did not change, her eyebrows and eyes curved to reveal a wicked and wanton smile, holding her cheeks and tapping her fingertips on her face.
"I've always been interested in interesting things, and he's no exception. Of course, this was before he sent these sugar men. β
Tao Xueqi tapped her fingertips and said unhurriedly: "Sending this kind of thing will only make people feel troublesome." β
Tao Xuanming still looked at her, as if he didn't believe it.
"Xue Qi, aren't you merciful to anyone or anything?"
Tao Xueqi looked at her "father", and the corners of her lips couldn't help but hook. This kind of talk... He, a man who kills his wife and abuses love, has no position to say it. No, he only thinks about Tai Sui, accumulating family wealth, and gaining fame, has he ever noticed this kind of thing?
"What about Father? Did your father have feelings for anyone or something? β
Tao Xuanming didn't know why, and was suddenly stunned for a moment. Tao Xueqi seemed to see the hesitation in his eyes at that moment, if Tao Xuanming had anything to be obsessed with, it must be Tai Sui.
"Nope." Tao Xuanming said lightly.
Tao Xueqi didn't expect him to tell the truth, which was also expected. Not to mention outsiders, he didn't even mention anything about Tai Sui, and at the same time, he didn't know that he knew everything.
"If the father doesn't, the daughter won't either. Dragons give birth to dragons, and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. "The son of the rat will make holes. Tao Xueqi laughed, and Tao Xuanming withdrew his gaze and left.
"In that case, it is troublesome for you to keep your marriage contract. In a few days, I will go to Jiafu to settle this matter. β
Tao Xueqi hummed casually, looking like she didn't care.
Let's make it clear with him next time, it won't be good if it is solved by Tao Xuanming in private. After all, he also sent her a sugar man, so it would be good for him to suffer less.
So there was the incident where she went to see Jia Xuan in person.
Because she stayed at home, she never saw Jia Xuan again after that.
*
It is said that the Tao family has been making money every day recently and has made a lot of money. Something is not normal.
Tao Xueqi sat in the backyard, and the malice in the ground seemed to be even more restless than ever, churning like boiling water, making her no longer in a good mood to eat.
She grabbed a handful of maliciously crumpled it like pulling out a weed, and sneered: "Food should be like food." β
Those malices seemed to be frightened by her, and suddenly fell silent.
"I can't put my mouth on food that's too hot, get it?"
The clouds in the distance are approaching from the horizon, and the weather has been hot and humid for the past few days, but there has not been a single heavy rain.
Tao Xueqi looked at the dark clouds that were coming, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, as if something was going to happen.
A purple-white lightning flashed quickly one day, and the white flash crossed the lattice window and reflected on Tao Xueqi's face.
She was stunned for a moment, then opened the window and looked out.
When the thunder and lightning along the way were regular and directional, Tao Xueqi suddenly thought of something.
"God... Penalize. She was stunned.
The so-called extreme things must be reversed, and the Tao family's method is against the way of heaven, why hasn't she noticed the unusual income in the past few days!
The reason why the Tao family's fortune is so good is entirely because of Tai Sui, and the difference between this time and usual is completely because something has collided and interfered with the original trajectory.
Great joy is followed by great sorrow, and the Tao family is afraid that this time it will be-
Tao Xueqi walked out of the room, bypassed the corridor and saw a few black shadows touching it from a distance. It's all fresh faces.
"Has it started?"
The Tao family has a nursing home, how did they get in? Is there an inner ghost?
She wanted to go over and take a look, but a voice came out in her heart and stopped her.
Don't go.
It's like a powerful force responding to the thunder that has fallen.
"Miss?"
A maid-like figure stood behind her, "Miss, what are you doing here?" β
She was holding something behind her back with both hands.
Tao Xueqi looked at her, her eyes falling behind her. Miss? It's usually called that, but... Today seems to be extraordinarily well-behaved, and there is still a little trembling fear and nervousness in his voice.
"Miss?"
She may really not meddle in this matter, she can't control the cause and effect of the Tao family, and the Heavenly Dao will give a result. Really thinking about it, as the incarnation of Tai Sui who fell into the world, but was locked up in this house by the Tao family for more than ten years, used to make profits, her identity may still be the bitter master, or don't care.
"The room is too stuffy, come out and take a walk."
The maid was relieved to see that her expression was the same, but Tao Xueqi took her reaction into her eyes. Lowering his eyes behind her, he glanced at her and walked back to the room.
"Miss?"
"Go back to your room and rest, what are you hanging around so late?"
The maid was stunned for a moment, her eyes staggered with her, and said, "Value, night." β
Tao Xueqi laughed, said yes and walked away, but the maid always followed her.
"What are you doing?"
The maid laughed twice in front of Tao Xueqi's room, "Send Miss back to the room, Miss please." β
"Huh." Tao Xueqi sneered in her heart.
Ahh
That's kind.
I really didn't see it at all before.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so she will take a look.
The maid's eyes kept flashing with the desire to let her into the room, so let's go in and have a look.
When she entered the room, the door was shut, and suddenly she heard a lock.
Locked? This girl is really low-grade and bad. She didn't even have the appetite to eat this kind of malice, and was full of the inferior smell of jealousy.
Wait, this smell in his room is...
Oil?
Soon after, there was a series of screams and the sound of sharp knives stabbing into the flesh from the front yard, and with it, a strong smell of blood came from the wind. She could feel a new malice melt in.
It looks like the front yard is going on a killing spree.
She knocked on the door frame and said without a hint of fear: "Outside, you brought that group of people in?" β
"That's not because of you, Miss, ha, haha, how many of us can't stand the attitude of you and the master!" The maid suddenly said hysterically.
"Because of me? And the master? So you've got a few other people to lure in and have them go on a killing spree? Oh, it's ugly. Tao Xueqi sneered: "There is a wrong, and there is a debtor." Forget about keeping me here, what does the innocent people in the front yard have to do with this? β
"I seem to hear the sound of quarrels and robberies, which mountain thief are you looking for? said that he was not convinced, he couldn't stand it, and in the end it was not a matter of making money. My life and that of the master are just two of your incidents. β
The man was annoyed by her calm attitude, and saw her take out the fire box.
"Pouring oil, igniting fires, killing people... There's really nothing new at all. Seeing the burning pottery, Xue Qi was not nervous at all, as if nothing had happened.
"The means of torturing people, the villain is naturally not as good as Miss. Villain, as long as Miss dies! β
"Ehβthat's really not a pursuit. If it were me, I would have to temper your impure malice. For example..."
The fire grew louder, and the maid stepped aside, farther away, not hearing what she said last. A thunderbolt flashed in the sky behind her, reflecting Tao Xueqi's figure in the firelight, like a ghost. Through the closed door, you can see the corners of her mouth hooked, and the evil smile on her face.
Suddenly furious in her heart, she fled directly.
If the head of the bandit sees Tao Xueqi's appearance, he will definitely be interested, and even if she changes places, as long as Tao Xueqi is there, her treatment will be the same.
Can't let him see it, absolutely not! Let her burn to death in this fire!
The thunder fell on Tao Xueqi's courtyard, broke through her door, and a person walked out of the fire unhurriedly. Tao Xueqi flicked her sleeves, "If it were me, no matter what happened, I would let you be struck by lightning once." β
She smiled and walked out of the fire and walked in the direction from which the malice came, but she didn't expect when there would be a spell at home.
She didn't expect to see Tao Xuanming after going down, "Father is really far-sighted, and even the dark room is ready, why don't you bring your daughter?" β
Tao Xuanming was also very surprised to see her, "It's just a coincidence, it's okay if you're fine." β
When the movement above is quiet, "Isn't my father going out?" β
"No need, you can go by yourself."
"Huh?" Tao Xueqi hummed playfully.
"Also, don't call me father. My daughter didn't exist in the first place, Tai Sui. β
Tao Xue Qi was slightly stunned, and then sneered.
"No, Master Tao. I've been your daughter since the moment I existed, but you just don't want me as long as you're too old. Then I'm just too old in front of you. Thank you for taking care of you for all these years. β
Tao Xuanming smiled in a low voice, "Compared to the wealth you brought, that is nothing..."
When leaving the dark passage, he was vaguely heard shouting behind him: "... Su'er. β
Su'er?
So who is that?
