Chapter 28: Life and Death (2)
Chapter 62: Death and Life (2)
Xia Ruixi returned to the capital in men's clothes, in order to hide, the Xia family and Ou Qingjin separated outside the capital, and each entered their own city, leaving only Mu Fei to secretly protect her until the Xia family's courtyard.
When Xia Ruixi sneaked into the courtyard from the corner gate, the first person he saw was Xia Ruibei, who had a haggard face.
Xia Ruibei cried and pounced when she saw Xia Ruixi, it was the situation when her sisters met again after parting from life and death. Xia Ruixi pushed her away lightly, and entered the house without looking back after a few perfunctory words. No matter what reason Xia Ruibei betrayed her in the first place, and what reason she saved her in the end, from the moment she knew that Xia Ruibei betrayed her, Xia Ruixi could no longer treat Xia Ruibei with the same mentality as before, it can be said that she was panicked when she saw Xia Ruibei now.
Xia Ruibei stood in place, biting her lip, looking at Master Xia nervously, and called out to Daddy aggrievedly, trying to see something from his face. Master Xia was busy settling Xia Ruixi, sending someone to find a relationship to deal with the sequelae left by this matter, and he couldn't take care of Xia Ruibei at all, so he agreed casually, and only told her to listen to the arrangement of the fourth aunt, take care of the family and leave in a hurry.
Xia Ruibei walked back irritably, Yan'er stretched her neck to look everywhere and didn't find Xin'er from the people who came back, so she said one more sentence: "Miss, I don't know ...... Xin'er?" Before she finished speaking, Xia Ruibei broke off: "How do I know?!" β
Yan'er lowered her head silently, vaguely guessing in her heart that Xin'er must be fierce and unlucky, and couldn't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
Chun'er and Wan'er have been standing at the entrance of the courtyard and stretching their necks waiting for Xia Ruixi, and when they saw Xia Ruixi coming, they were overjoyed, and hurriedly served Xia Ruixi to take a bath, change clothes, and rub medicine.
Xia Ruixi asked Wan'er to prepare food, leaving Chun'er to ask about yesterday's situation, and thanked Chun'er for saving her so bravely and wittily. Chun'er wrung the corners of her clothes embarrassedly and said, "This is the duty of being a slave." Miss is so good to the slave maid, the slave is the young lady's person, naturally she must be good to the young lady, and she can't be ungrateful, this is what the slave and the maid's mother told the slave when the slave and maid left home. β
Xia Ruixi took Chun'er's hand: "I remember your affection." By the way, the plan that escaped yesterday was good, brave and strategic, you came up with it, right? I heard that later, you led away the pursuers, and the third lady had a chance to run back to find someone? β
Chun'er blushed and smiled: "Third Miss is quite clever. This is tantamount to admitting that she is the one who planned it, and Xia Ruibei is just cooperating. Xia Ruixi even took down the affection for Xia Ruibei who saved her in the end. She was hesitating whether to tell Master Xia about Xia Ruibei's betrayal of her, she knew very well how much turmoil this matter would cause once she said it, this was still secondary, and the most important point was that she had no evidence.
As soon as Xia Ruibei returned to her room, she blasted everyone out, and lay down on the bed without taking off her shoes, staring at the top of the tent with wide eyes. She is now like the condemned prisoner waiting for Ling Chi, tormented.
Yesterday morning, she was angry with Mrs. Sigu, and although she scolded Xia Ruixi, she was still immersed in the joy of drawing lots, so she took Yan'er to watch the flowers and enjoy the scenery in the peach forest. Not long after, a mother-in-law came over and said that Mrs. Sigu asked Yan'er to get something, and as soon as Yan'er left, that Zhao Mingtao appeared.
She didn't know Zhao Mingtao's specific identity, but she knew from Master Xia's mouth that he was a noble person and couldn't be easily provoked, so when Zhao Mingtao took the initiative to greet her, she was just about to leave.
Zhao Mingtao took the initiative to identify himself and told her that he had just come out of the room of the master of the lottery, knew that she had drawn a lot, and asked her if she knew the true meaning of her lottery, first bitter and then sweet, that is, she had to suffer a lot to have a good life. also said that because he and Master Xia were old friends, he kindly reminded her to be more careful.
Seeing that Xia Ruibei didn't believe it, Zhao Mingtao told her a story, it is said that one of his aunts was famous in Jinghua when she was young, but she had a seriously ill fiancΓ©, she was worried, so she came here to ask for a signature, and asked for the same lot.
"Bitter first and then sweet", his aunt thought that her husband would definitely get better, so she married into her husband's family with good wishes. In the second year after the marriage, the husband passed away, leaving only her and a baby who was not yet a full moon. She endured the white eyes and ridicule of her in-laws and uncles and concubines, and she worked hard for more than ten years before she finally raised her son as a child.
Xia Ruibei was scared half to death by the terrifying life described by Zhao Mingtao, it turns out that this is what it means to be bitter first and then sweet? No! She didn't want to live like this! Xia Ruibei is almost a master of the six gods.
Zhao Mingtao saw that her face was not good-looking, and said tentatively: "Don't worry, you are not married now, just ask your father to help you take a good look in the future, maybe your signature does not mean this." β
Seeing that Xia Ruibei couldn't help crying, Zhao Mingtao said that he had a way to solve this matter, didn't he regret a marriage? What is this for the dignified Shouwang Mansion? But it's a trifle.
He asked her to lead Xia Ruixi to the peach forest behind, and he helped her solve her troubles once and for all. He repeatedly assured that he just admired Xia Ruixi and wanted to say a few words to Xia Ruixi to win Xia Ruixi's favor, and vaguely reminded her that if he became her brother-in-law, Shouwangfu and the Xia family would be married, and in the future, it would bring indescribable benefits to her marriage and even to the entire Xia family.
Although she knew very well how bad the nature of this matter was, she was moved to think of her life.
But when Xia Ruixi walked towards the peach forest, she regretted it again. She can't tell the reason for her regret, maybe it's because she feels that the truth is not what Zhao Mingtao said, she is afraid that things will be leaked and she will be punished, maybe because she has a clear conscience and can't bear Xia Ruixi to be humiliated. She tried to stop Xia Ruixi, but Xia Ruixi didn't listen, she didn't dare to tell the truth, she was scared, frightened, but she was still a little lucky, hoping that Zhao Mingtao was really like what he said, just a few words with Xia Ruixi.
It's a pity that Zhao Mingtao's fierce spirit and Xia Ruixi's complete non-cooperation completely shattered her last illusion. As soon as she thought of how Master Xia would punish her severely after knowing about this incident, and what kind of outcome she would face, she was half frightened to death first, racking her brains to think about how to cover up this incident and let herself get out smoothly.
She was afraid that she would show her flaws in front of Xia Ruixi, so she pretended to faint. But the fact that she pretended to be faint was soon discovered by the shrewd Chun'er, who took the opportunity to take care of her and told the plan to escape and report the news. She thought that she really had the only way to go, and only in this way could she get rid of her family, so she cooperated with Chun'er, luckily escaped and begged Ou Qingjin to save Xia Ruixi.
thought everything was fine, but Xia Ruixi's cold attitude made her heart tremble, she intuitively felt that Xia Ruixi already knew about it, Xia Ruibei's heart was in turmoil, and she grabbed her hair in pain and pulled it hard, what should she do? 2k reading web
