Chapter 34: Misunderstanding
She stayed for a moment, and then hurriedly blessed her body and saluted, "See the son." ”
Chun Tao was also busy saluting behind her, and Ji Yunting bowed his hand to Qi Cheng in frustration.
Qi Cheng's eyes froze on her, he thought that the female dependents in the temple today were only the people of the Ji family, except for Sun Yingying and Sun Guifei's palace maids, but he didn't expect that the person hiding behind the tree would be her.
Since that day, she and the other two girls of the Ji family were rescued in the cave, and the two have not seen each other for more than half a month. Thinking of her embarrassed pale and calm face at that time, Qi Cheng couldn't help but look at her face for a few more moments, her face was delicate and ruddy, her eyes were clear and moist, and her complexion was good, and it seemed that she was not affected by the mountain bandit incident.
Seeing that Shizi had been staring at her girl, Chun Tao took a step forward lightly and whispered to Ji Yunyun: "Girl, the eldest young master is still in a hurry to find the third young master." ”
Ji Yunyun reacted, and looked at Qi Cheng with some trepidation, not knowing what he planned to do when he saw Ji Yunting.
"The men in the backyard can't enter, I'll send you out." Qi Cheng's gaze moved to Ji Yunting's body, and he turned around to take them out, but Ji Yunyun hurriedly pulled his younger brother and Chun Tao to follow him.
Qi Cheng originally wanted to take them out through a small door in the middle of nowhere, but he didn't take two steps before he noticed the sound of someone approaching quickly, and he stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Ji Yunyun didn't have any kung fu, so he couldn't notice anyone approaching, and when he saw him suddenly stop, he asked suspiciously.
"Someone's coming." After Qi Cheng finished speaking, he looked around, and only had time to let Ji Yunting hide behind a cluster of flowers and trees next to him, and the hurried footsteps of the person who came had already appeared in front, it was Sun Yingying.
Sun Yingying's gaze first fell on Qi Cheng's body, and she was about to speak out happily, when she suddenly saw Ji Yunyun on the side, her eyes changed suddenly, and she stared at her coldly.
Ji Yunyun chuckled in her heart, knowing that she and Qi Cheng were about to be misunderstood by Sun Yingying.
"Why is Miss Ji here? What are you doing? Sure enough, Sun Yingying asked coldly.
"I happened to meet and exchanged a few words." Qi Cheng's face was indifferent, and he asked, "Aren't you there from Niangniang?" Coming to me for something? ”
Sun Yingying has always been suspicious, where would it be so easy to believe. She looked at Qi Cheng, who was calm and indifferent, and smiled at him, "My aunt called you over to have something to order." ”
After speaking, he moved his gaze to Ji Yunyun's body, and said in an unkind tone: "My aunt is here, Miss Ji is fine, don't run away, it's better to leave quickly." ”
Looking at Sun Yingying's vicious gaze staring at her, Ji Yunyun sighed in her heart, Sun Yingying had a mustard for her because of her contact with Qi Cheng, but now it's okay, the mustard is deeper, and she is afraid that she will become a thorn in Sun Yingying's side.
"Mother looking for me? Let's go over then. Qi Cheng saw Sun Yingying's undisguised cold gaze, his eyebrows furrowed silently, and he strode towards her.
Seeing that Qi Cheng was leaving, Sun Yingying hurriedly followed, the corners of her eyes swept over Ji Yunyunting's figure, and the malice in her eyes almost overflowed.
When the people left, Ji Yunyun's worried heart was put down, she let her younger brother come out from behind the flower tree, and hurriedly left the backyard with him angrily.
After seeing Sun Guifei, when he came back from the temple, the Zhou family called Ji Yunyun over and warned him, although their family business was big, there was no royal support in the end. The Sun family is now in the limelight, and they still have to be careful to avoid the edge of the Sun family.
Ji Yunyun knew what was at stake, according to the memory of the previous life, there was still nearly a year before the Sun family collapsed, and she had no intention of making the Guogong Mansion the target of the Sun family because of herself in this year. What's more, she has heard and personally experienced Sun Yingying's methods, and for her own safety, she feels that it is better to reduce contact with Qi Cheng.
Therefore, after returning from the temple, Ji Yunyun stayed in the Splendid Courtyard and rarely went out of the house. Princess An no longer invited her to sit in the palace, but Qi Yan exchanged letters with her every few days to talk about her reading experience and experience.
Ji Yunting wanted to learn kung fu, and Ji Yunyun remembered it in his heart. She has no objection to a man learning martial arts, as long as he is not fierce and ruthless. What's more, she was also worried that after Sun Cheng learned kung fu, Ji Yunting would not be his opponent. She saw that Ji Yunyuan was at home one day, so she went to beg him to teach Ji Yunting kung fu.
Ji Yunting has been naughty since he was a child, and his uncle and grandmother were worried that he would get into trouble outside, and they explained in the house that they would not let him learn kung fu, so Ji Yunyuan was reluctant to disobey his father and grandmother at first. Ji Yunyun begged him softly for a while, and then said that he was worried that Ji Yunting would be bullied by Sun Cheng, so Ji Yunyuan promised that she would quietly teach Ji Yunting when she was free.
Ji Yunyun happily came out of Ji Yunyuan's house, looked at the sky, and thought that Ji Yunting should come back from the school, so he wanted to go to Rongshan Hall to tell him the good news.
As soon as I came out of Cuihua Courtyard, I saw Mama Yu in Ji Yunqing's house coming over with a few maids, Ji Yunyun glanced at it casually and was about to leave, when she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the middle of the maids, she paused and asked Mama Yu, "What is Mama going to do with these maids?" ”
When she got closer, Mama Yu saluted her, and replied with a smile: "Second girl, these are the newly selected maids for the six girls, and there are a few sprinklers in the sixth girl's house to clean, and there are new maids in the house, and the eldest lady ordered them to be selected." ”
Ji Yunyun's gaze fell on the goose-yellow figure who was hiding behind the other maids, hanging her neck low and only revealing the top of her black hair, nervously clutching her sleeves, and raised her chin, "I remember that she just entered the house a few days ago and worked in the laundry room, how did she also be selected?" ”
He Mama glanced back and said with a smile: "This is recommended by the housekeeper of the laundry room, saying that she is neat and neat, and her family background is a little pitiful, it just so happens that the other new maids are all asked to go by the second lady, and the sixth girl is still one short here, so I will let her come together." ”
She really underestimated this Xia Lian, she thought that if she was put in a place like the laundry room, she would not be able to contact Ji Yunshu, but she didn't expect her to seize the opportunity to come out of the laundry room so quickly, and she would go to Ji Yunqing's house to serve.
Ji Yunyun was amazed by Xia Lian's ability in her heart, and said lightly: "There are two little maids in my house who are very neat with their hands and feet, and they just don't need it, so I'll send them to the sixth sister." There can't be a shortage of people in the laundry room, let her go back. ”
Xia Lian's face turned pale in an instant.
"Yes, second girl." It's just an ordinary maid, Mama Yu didn't think much about it and came down, she ordered Xia Lian, and led the other maids to Cuihua Courtyard.
Xia Lian lowered her head, her fingers clenched her sleeves tightly, unwilling and angry in her heart, from the first time they met, to the time they entered the Guogong Mansion but they were thrown into the laundry room without even seeing the face of the eldest girl, no matter how dull she was, she found that the second girl had been targeting her. She didn't know how to offend this second girl, so that she would spare no effort to suppress her and target her.
From her patient eyebrows and trembling hands, Ji Yunyun could understand the anger in her heart, but all of this was caused by herself, if she was willing to accept the money about the mountain bandits before, she could take her father and sister to live a good life. But she is biased and high-minded, imagining people who don't belong to her, so she doesn't hesitate to hurt Ji Yunshu, who has always been good to her.
Although angry, in order to go to the eldest girl's side, Xia Lian swallowed her anger and begged with a smile: "Second...... Second girl, please don't let me stay in the laundry room, let me go to the eldest girl's side to serve, I am here to repay the eldest girl's kindness......"
"Oh, you really just want to repay your big sister for your kindness, isn't it for anything else?" Before she could finish speaking, Ji Yunyun interrupted her, and looked at her coldly with a pair of lacquered eyes as if they had been soaked in water.
Xia Lian's heart jumped, only to feel that her little thoughts seemed to be seen through by these cold eyes, she hurriedly hid the panic in her eyes, and said with a forced smile: "Second girl, this ...... What does this mean? The eldest girl's kindness to Li'er, Li'er wants to repay it. ”
"Really? Working in the laundry room is also repaying the kindness of the big sister, why do you have to go to the big sister's side. What's more," Ji Yunyun glanced her up and down, and said lightly: "What kind of maid can serve you by the side of the big sister?" Your appearance is not even qualified for a rough maid in the big sister's house. ”
Xia Lian's face turned red suddenly, and she bit her lip and wanted to cry: "The slave and maid are retired." Then he hurried and fled.
"Girl......" Chun Tao stood behind her girl, surprised. Her girls have always been gentle, and even if they make mistakes, they have never been so polite. I don't know what this person named Xia Lian did to make her girl so disgusted?
Ji Yunlan came over to find Ji Yunshu, and inadvertently witnessed the whole process of Ji Yunyun and Xia Lian talking, she looked at Xia Lian's pitiful back, walked over to Ji Yunyun and said, "Eh, I said that Xia Lian, why did you provoke you?" We were rescued in time with her leading the way, didn't she just want to go to the big sister to serve, why did you say that about her? ”
"You're looking for Big Sister?" said that they would not believe it, Ji Yunyun did not answer her, and asked.
"yes, you haven't answered me yet." Ji Yunlan asked unrelentingly.
Ji Yunyun turned around and walked towards Rongshan Hall, and Ji Yunlan followed her step by step, chattering: "Tell me, what happened to that Xia Lian?" Why do I think you don't have a good face every time you see her, just a poor little girl, why do you hate her so much? ”
Ji Yunyun was a little annoyed by her, since the incident of the mountain bandits, Ji Yunlan didn't know what was wrong, and her attitude towards her changed, in the past, the two met in addition to ignoring her was sneering, but now they are in a hurry to talk to her. To be honest, she still likes the way she used to get along with Ji Yunlan.
"Poor little maiden? Some people are good at pretending and gaining sympathy, and what you see is often not who she really is. If you're careless, you don't even know what's going on if you're killed. I'm going to find Yunting, don't follow me. Ji Yunyun said something meaningful to Ji Yunlan, and then left quickly.
Ji Yunlan touched her chin after listening, "What do you mean?" Xia Lian is pretending? She is such a poor little maid in the family, what did she do when she came to the house to pretend? ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Ji Yunlan hooked her hand and ordered the maid behind her: "Let people go to the laundry room and keep an eye on Xia Lian, if there is any movement, report to me." ”
