Chapter 109: Self-defeating
Everyone still doesn't know about Chu Peijin being sent to the ancestral hall, if the Liu family goes to call someone, it will inevitably be known by the old lady, and even the Mrs. Luo and Miss Ouyang in front of her will know! Although she had good reasons to detain her to the ancestral hall, she ......
Thinking that the credit for saving Miss Ouyang was actually that dead girl, Xia was hated and jealous!
also went to the Tiansheng Temple, why did her most beloved daughter get sick from the water, but that dead girl was a good fate, not only did she not do anything, but she also had the opportunity to let others owe her such a big favor!
The more Xia thought about it, the more angry she became, so after leaving Rongkang Academy, she went straight to the direction of the ancestral hall without saying a word. Mama Hu, who was guarding outside, saw that Xia's face was not right, and hurriedly followed.
"Madame, what's wrong with you?"
In the morning, the lady said that she would put Chu Peijin in the ancestral hall before the old lady entertained the guests, and then report to the old lady after the guests left. Now that Mama Huang has not returned, does that mean that things are going well? But why did the expression on Madame's face look so irritable?
"Mrs. Luo wants to see that girl!"
Xia's dark and calm face, as if the sky before the storm came, made Mama Hu frightened!
Isn't Madame Luo the wife of the late hussar general who came to visit the mansion today! It is said that she does not leave the house all the year round, how can the eldest girl know her?
Things have changed so much, and it really caught Xia off guard!
"That girl saved Miss Ouyang!"
Xia's next sentence made Mama Hu stunned!
The big girl still has such luck??
No wonder, that Ouyang girl is the lifeblood of Mrs. Luo, and it is reasonable for the girl who saved the girl to come to thank her in person!
But the problem now is that the eldest girl has just been imprisoned in the ancestral hall by her wife, if she goes to invite the eldest girl Chu out again, won't the lady be slapping herself in the face?
No wonder, Mrs. has been so bad since she hit the old lady's yard!
That's reallyβthat's a coincidence, isn't it?
Mama Hu let out a long sigh, she didn't know what to say!
The front foot sends a person in, and the back foot calls a person out?
She could only pray that the eldest girl would listen to Madame as before, otherwise......
Xia stopped talking, and Mama Hu didn't dare to speak again, so the two of them walked outside the ancestral hall in silence.
Mama Hu raised her eyes and saw that in addition to Mama Huang, two of the four rough mothers-in-law were missing, and the remaining two stood at the gate of the ancestral hall on the left and right, while Mama Huang was sitting on the tree stump on the side and chatting with the two mothers-in-law with Erlang's legs crossed.
Facing the mother-in-law on Xia's side, she first discovered Xia's and Mama Hu, her face changed and she hurriedly whispered: "Madame is here!" After saying this, she hurriedly smiled and bowed to him: "The old slave has seen Madame!" β
Mama Huang's face turned pale, and she hurriedly put away her previous self-satisfied appearance and got up to report: "Madam, the eldest girl has already entered, and the old slave is guarding here in person, ensuring that there will be no mistakes!" β
Hearing this, the corners of Mama Hu's lips twitched uncontrollably, and she secretly said in her heart, Mama Huang's fart may have really slapped the horse's hooves this time!
"Eventful!" Xia Shi glanced at her coldly, and didn't have time to worry about her, so he only pointed to the door of the ancestral hall and said, "Open the door!" β
Those who kneel in the ancestral hall must stay in the ancestral hall for enough time before they can see the light of day again, and during this time, the door of the ancestral hall is not open except for the delivery of food.
Seeing this posture, Mama Huang knew that something was wrong, and she didn't dare to speak anymore, so she quickly took the key from her waist and opened the lock, and helped Xia Shi push the two doors open.
Xia walked to the door of the ancestral hall and raised his feet and was just about to enter, when he paused again after seeing the scene inside!
Sunlight poured in from the doorway, adding a touch of color to the dimly lit ancestral hall. Xia saw that the rows of tablets of the ancestors of the Chu family were hidden in the dark, with several plates of offerings on the table in front of them, and a few futons for kneeling and worshipping outside.
At this time, Chu Peijin was sitting on the front of the tablet on the front of the bench, and her two feet were on a futon in front of her!!
Hearing the movement outside, Chu Peijin turned her head slightly, and when she saw that it was Xia, she smiled at her and turned her head, looking at the tablet in front of her calmly without moving.
Xia stepped in and walked in front of her and looked at her with a brow, "What are you doing here?" β
Chu Peijin's eyes were still on the tablet in front of him, his long eyelashes blinked slightly, and said, "Mother knows, I can't keep kneeling because my foot is injured, so I have to meet my ancestors in this way." Mother, this is called the collusion of the gods! After saying this, she hurriedly added with a hint of eagerness: "Mother, don't disturb me, such a kind of spiritual collusion requires absolute silence!" β
After Chu Peijin finished speaking, he even closed his eyes, as if he was really colluding with his ancestors, and he saw that the Xia family was very angry!
She gritted her teeth and said, "You don't have to kneel today, the old lady will let you go over!" β
Chu Peijin's mind moved, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she shook her head: "No, mother!" You said before that you can only go out if you are forgiven, but I haven't been forgiven by my ancestors yet, and I can't go out for the time being, so you explain to your grandmother, and I believe your grandmother will definitely approve of it! β
The corners of Mama Hu's mouth twitched when she heard this! Big girl, this is too, right? If you don't want to go, you don't want to go, what kind of spirit and soul collusion, she is not afraid that the ancestor of the Chu family will appear to come out to find her at night?
Xia's face was also black and black! I'm afraid this girl has already guessed something, right? Otherwise, how could he refuse to go out so justifiably?
"You really won't go out?" Xia asked patiently again.
"Well, don't go out! When the ancestors appear and forgive me, I will go out! β
Chu Peijin looked resolute and unwilling to compromise, and Xia's heart was shook, and the anger in his heart was rising!
"Why, you can't even disobey your mother's words?"
Chu Peijin raised her eyebrows, is this going to use her identity as an elder to suppress her?
In the blink of an eye, she pretended to be puzzled and said slowly: "Mother, a quarter of an hour ago, you ordered me to come to the ancestral hall, and I also obeyed your mother's order to do so, why is my mother now saying that I am disobedient?" β
Xia's sharp eyes were like a knife scraping Chu Peijin's cheek, as if he wanted to kill her! She has never been squeezed by a junior like this, let alone this eldest daughter who she regards as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh!
"Good! Good! Good! β
Xia Shi gritted his teeth and squeezed out three words stiffly, then glanced at her fiercely, turned around and left without looking back!
"Madame......"
Mama Hu was so anxious that she couldn't care about Chu Peijin, so she hurriedly ran over to follow, and whispered in her voice: "Madam, if you leave like this, how will the old lady explain it?" β
"Let's just say she's sick to death!!"
Xia's anger was almost out of his mind, and such ugly words almost rushed out of his mouth!
Mama Hu's face turned pale, and she hurriedly looked left and right, and then said anxiously: "Madam, no! What if the old lady sent someone to Qinglan Courtyard to find it? Isn't this a revelation? It's a small thing to be known, but madam, think about it, that Mrs. Luo is not a foolish character, a careless ......"
Yes, if you don't pay attention, I'm afraid that her reputation as Mrs. Wu Anhou in the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto will be ruined!! If a person wants to gain a good reputation, he needs to spend some time and do something that everyone recognizes. But if you want to ruin someone, you only need to spread one or two bad things!!
Do you really want her to put down her body and beg that girl?? Xia's fingernails pierced deep into her palms, and a thick unwillingness made her eyes slowly turn red!
