Chapter 23: Who Will Harm Me
Previously, Shui Qingqing concealed Mei Zijin pushing herself down the mountain, purely because he was a member of the Hou Mansion, and she couldn't openly offend him.
But later, after listening to Xiaoxi's words, she thought of another possibility, perhaps, Mei Zijin was saving herself by doing that at that time......
Therefore, hearing Mei Zijin suddenly ask, Shui Qingqing bowed respectfully to him without hesitation, and said sincerely: "Thank you Lord Hou for saving your life yesterday!" ”
Whatever his motive was for pushing him down the mountain yesterday, at this time, she had to say so.
Hearing this, Mei Zijin looked slightly stunned, and her eyes looked at Shui Qingqing even deeper - she was really smarter than she imagined!
He said casually and coldly: "Since you said that Ben Hou is saving you, why do you want to hide my kindness?" ”
Shui Qingqing smiled and said: "In order not to fall into the tongue and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, after all, ...... But I remember the kindness of the Hou Ye in my heart, and I dare not forget it for a moment. ”
This explanation is reasonable, after all, Sheng Yu has always been in love with Mei Zijin before, and the relationship between the two is also sensitive now, if it is rumored that Mei Zijin rescued her on the mountain that day, even if there is nothing between the two, it will cause a lot of suspicion.
Knowing that she wanted to avoid suspicion and draw a line with herself, it stands to reason that Mei Zijin should be relieved and happy, but looking at the thin figure who left the study and gradually drifted away, he actually had a different taste in his heart......
Sanshi came in from outside the door, looked at Mei Zijin with a solemn face, and asked worriedly, "Master, can you ask the result?" ”
Mei Zijin thought about the calmness of Fang Cai Shui Qingqing's expression, and wanted to believe her, but there was always something in his mind that made him unable to completely believe that she was the real Sheng Yu......
There was a faint pain in the wound, and the chill and stiffness in his body made him weak.
He suppressed the discomfort in his body, wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "...... Trust her for now. ”
After that, he instructed Sanshi: "Get ready, I want to enter the palace to face the saint!" ”
Sanshi was taken aback, "Has the master really decided?" ”
Looking at the heavy snow fluttering outside, Mei Zijin's slightly pale face had a firm expression, and she said slowly: "Although Yun'er is not a son-in-law, she has won my heart, and she is also my only heir now...... And it is rumored that the witch doctor in the Western Desert is haunted, if I can't wait for that day, I can arrange everything and have nothing to worry about......"
Sanshi's eyes turned red in an instant, he knelt down behind Mei Zijin with bent knees, and said with a hard throat: "Don't worry, my subordinates will definitely find the witch doctor to relieve the poisonous ...... of 'cold paralysis' on my body."
Mei Zijin waved his hand to get him up and led him into the palace in the snow......
After leaving the study, Shui Qingqing found that she was already sweating all over, and she couldn't help but shiver when she was blown by the cold wind.
She wrapped her cloak tightly, looked back in the direction of the study, and thought in her heart that after this pass, Mei Zijin should believe her......
I didn't sleep all night yesterday, coupled with many troubles today, Shui Qingqing was already tired, and was about to go back to the house to rest after returning to Tingsheng Courtyard, Xiaoxi came to report in a panic, saying that Bai Lingwei had brought Xia Chan and others to Tingsheng Courtyard.
Thinking of Xia Cicada's ferocity before, Xiaoxi was still afraid, and couldn't help but shudder: "Miss, will Aunt Bai know about the matter of the Hou Ye looking for you, so ...... So she's coming to trouble you again? Miss, I'll go tell the old lady, and let the old lady come forward to help us......"
Shui Qingqing thought the same as Xiaoxi, listening to the chaotic footsteps outside, her heart sank, and she sighed: "I'm afraid it's too late if you want to tell the old lady." ”
Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, the door was pushed open......
When the door opened, Bai Lingwei held Brother Yun in her arms and led a group of people in, but the expression on her face was not vicious, but she still had a smile.
As soon as she entered the door, she beckoned the servant behind her to put down the things in her hand, and said with a smile: "Cousin Sheng, this is a thank you gift I specially sent to you in order to thank you for your help yesterday." Cousin Sheng is still satisfied with it? ”
A dazzling array of jade ornaments was placed on the table, and it could be seen that Bai Lingwei had made a lot of money this time.
Also, the words that Tang Qianqian said in front of the old lady and Mei Zijin in the Shi'an Yuan today were clearly commending Shui Qingqing for saving Brother Yun'er's life, but in fact they were satirizing Bai Lingwei for running for her life at that time, she was so scared that she couldn't even take care of her son, and she would only pretend to be a loving mother in front of Mei Zijin and the old lady......
Bai Lingwei is such a powerful person, how can she not hear the meaning of Tang Qianqian's words.
She was afraid that Mei Zijin and the old lady would be dissatisfied with her because of this incident, so she hugged Yun Gongzi and personally sent a thank you gift to Shui Qingqing to show her gratitude to Shui Qingqing, and let Mei Zijin and the old lady know that she valued Yun'er.
After knowing Bai Lingwei's intention, Shui Qingqing relaxed, but her heart was cold-
If you really want to be grateful to her, why didn't you say a word of thanks when you met at the World Security Courtyard in the morning?!
And from the last time Bai Lingwei pinched Yun'er with her fingernails, to yesterday when she faced the assassin on the mountain, she stuffed Yun'er into her hand without hesitation in order to escape for her life, it is enough to see that Bai Lingwei has no true feelings for Yun'er......
is not biological, how can the family affection separated by blood be worth Bai Lingwei's sincerity? Therefore, Shui Qingqing did not hate Bai Lingwei's contempt for Yun'er, it was better to do so, so as not to make Yun'er sad when she took her away in the future.
However, Shui Qingqing thought about it, now that Yun'er is very good at returning to milk, it is the time when she needs to redouble her care and take care of her, if Bai Lingwei doesn't care about him, what if something happens to Yun'er?
With this thought, Shui Qingqing couldn't help but shudder in her heart, and hurriedly pressed the resentment against Bai Lingwei in her heart, so she asked Xiaoxi to put away the things like a treasure, and said with a flattering smile to Bai Lingwei: "It's my blessing to be able to help my aunt, my aunt is too polite." ”
After that, he greeted Bai Lingwei to sit down in the right seat, and personally made tea and served it to Bai Lingwei, looking respectful and flattering.
Seeing this, a trace of disgust and ridicule flashed in Bai Lingwei's eyes, but she said with a smile on her face: "I was offended by Cousin Sheng because of a misunderstanding before, but I didn't expect Cousin Sheng to help me yesterday regardless of my previous suspicions. In the future, we sisters will be commensurate, and my sister will not forget your kindness yesterday. ”
Bai Lingwei said it nicely, but Shui Qingqing did not miss the contempt and dislike for herself in her eyes, knowing that everything she did today was for Mei Zijin and the old lady to see.
But even if she saw through Bai Lingwei's thoughts, Shui Qingqing wanted to do what she wanted, because only in this way could she get closer to her, so that she would have more opportunities to be with Yun'er......
So, she frowned and hesitated and said, "There is something I don't know if I should tell my aunt...... Let's talk about it, I'm afraid of adding trouble to you, auntie. But if I don't say it, I'm a little worried in my heart, I'm afraid that that person will be bad for my aunt and son......"
As she spoke, Shui Qingqing burst into tears as if she remembered something terrible.
And hearing her last sentence of 'unfavorable', Bai Lingwei's eyes were shining, and she immediately lowered her face and asked, "Sister, say it quickly-who is trying to harm me?" ”
