Ji Yueqin took Chu Qingtang back to Qianxi Palace, and along the way, bursts of laughter and laughter came from their sedan chair, which caused the palace people on the side to look sideways.

Here, Ji Yueqin had just stepped into the Qianxi Palace, so she asked Aunt Xiuzhu to send someone to the mansion of Lord Chu to deliver a letter, telling them that Chu Qingtang would stay in the Qianxi Palace for dinner, and send Chu Qingtang back to the mansion later.

After arriving at Qianxi Palace, Ji Yueqin took Chu Qingtang to the main hall to visit the Queen Mother, who saw Chu Qingtang dignified and polite, and also had a good impression of this down-and-out girl.

Seeing that Ji Yueqin had made friends in Taixue and was happy for Ji Yueqin, he asked the palace people to prepare a few more dishes that Ji Yueqin liked to eat.

After the three of them had lunch, Ji Yueqin pulled Chu Qingtang back to his palace, and asked Xiuzhu to prepare some refreshments and fruits.

Chu Qingtang saw that Ji Yueqin was so attentive to him, and regarded Ji Yueqin as his best friend in his heart.

Her nose was a little pantothenic, and she couldn't help asking, "Yueqin, aren't you afraid that I will be friends with you because I want to cling to you?" ”

Ji Yueqin looked into her eyes and said with a smile: "I believe in you." Also, I know you're not that kind of person. ”

When Chu Qingtang heard Ji Yueqin say this, he couldn't hold back the gratitude to Ji Yueqin in his heart, and hugged Ji Yueqin and cried.

Ji Yueqin didn't say anything, just gently patted Chu Qingtang's back and comforted her.

At this time, you don't really need too many words. When someone else is sad, you don't know what the other person has experienced that is difficult to face, and you haven't experienced it yourself, so there is no way to empathize.

So at this time, no amount of comfort is like a blank piece of paper, so pale and powerless. Therefore, all I need to do is to quietly accompany the sad person and let her vent the unhappiness in her heart, which is what I should do.

It didn't take long for Chu Qingtang to finally vent the unhappiness in his heart, and gradually stopped his tears.

Ji Yueqin just looked at her distressedly, gently wiped Chu Qingtang's tears with her handkerchief, and said with a hint of ridicule: "Qingtang, I really want to show you a mirror, you see that you are now like a big cat with a crying face." ”

Chu Qingtang was a little embarrassed, lowered his head shyly, and said softly: "Yueqin, don't make fun of me." ”

Seeing Chu Qingtang's embarrassed appearance, Ji Yueqin no longer made fun of Chu Qingtang, and said with a straight face: "Why is Qingtang crying so sadly, but someone is bullying you?" ”

Chu Qingtang shook his head gently, but instead took Ji Yueqin's hand and said softly: "No, I'm just very happy to have you as a friend." ”

Seeing Chu Qingtang say this, Ji Yueqin straightened her face and said, "Qingtang, if you really regard me as a friend, you shouldn't hide it from me." ”

Chu Qingtang looked at Ji Yueqin's petite but very firm body, and his heart seemed to be touched, so he also said slowly with Ji Yueqin.

"Don't see that although I am the concubine of the Chu family, in fact, I am not as good as any sister." Chu Qingtang's eyes showed a hint of sadness, and his voice was faint without a trace of emotion, as if what he was talking about now was not his own business.

"My mother died early, leaving me alone, and my father doted on his aunts and sisters, and never looked at himself more. And my aunt always slandered me behind my back in order to compete for the position of the main mother. Not only that, but my sisters also hated me and were always watching my jokes. When she mentioned her mother, the sadness in her eyes couldn't help but make Ji Yueqin think of her dead mother.

Because their mothers have passed away, they can't help but feel that they are both fallen people at the end of the world, Ji Yueqin gently hugged Chu Qingtang, but she didn't expect to accidentally touch Chu Qingtang's wound on the back.

Chu Qingtang couldn't help but scream, Ji Yueqin looked at the beads of sweat on Chu Qingtang's forehead, and asked coldly, "Do they dare to do anything to you?" ”

Chu Qingtang's eyes were a little unnatural, and he even said with a little unconfidence: "No...... It was my own carelessness. ”

Ji Yueqin didn't listen to her explanation, so she asked Xiuzhu to send the palace people in the house.

After all the palace people in the palace went out, Ji Yueqin ignored Chu Qingtang's resistance, and asked Xiuzhu to remove Chu Qingtang's clothes.

Chu Qingtang's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, but he couldn't resist Xiuzhu, so he also let Xiuzhu remove the clothes on his upper body.

I saw that Chu Qingtang's back was covered with dense scars, which made Ji Yueqin and Xiuzhu stunned. Chu Qingtang is just an eight- or nine-year-old girl, how could anyone go to poison such a girl next time.

Ji Yueqin caressed the marks left behind Chu Qingtang distressedly, looking at the bloodshot wounds behind her, and couldn't help but feel furious in her heart.

"Who did it?" Ji Yueqin's voice revealed bursts of coldness, as if she was going to cut the person who hurt Chu Qingtang with a thousand knives.

Chu Qingtang was also stunned when she looked at Ji Yueqin like this, but she didn't want Ji Yueqin to get involved in the dirty things in her family, so she said again and again: "It's really me who accidentally got myself, it's okay." ”

"Qingtang, I'm doing this for your good, I treat you as a friend, you shouldn't hide it from me." Seeing Chu Qingtang like this, Ji Yueqin sighed and said.

"It's not that I don't want to talk to you, it's that I don't want you to get involved in this dirty thing." Chu Qingtang smiled bitterly at Ji Yueqin.

Ji Yueqin shook her head and said to her helplessly: "Why didn't I step out of this dirty thing, my father and mother died tragically, all because of the assassination of others!" I have fled thousands of miles from Daliang to Dayu, how can I have a sense of stability? Fortunately, your father is still alive, and even if he dotes on other aunts, you have to take back what you deserve from her! ”

Chu Qingtang was stunned when she heard what Ji Yueqin said, but the pain of Xiuzhu medicating her pulled her back to reality.

Chu Qingtang looked at Ji Yueqin distressedly, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the woman in front of him. Compared with Ji Yueqin, what he has experienced is not as good as Ji Yueqin.

The two girls looked at each other, and both had a sense of pity in their eyes.

"Since they have done this to you, from now on, I will help you get what you deserve, and I will make them regret what they have done today." Chu Qingtang looked at Ji Yueqin's firm gaze, and was even more grateful to Ji Yueqin.

"In a few days, I will visit your house and see how your sister-in-law treats you." Ji Yueqin patted Chu Qingtang's hand and comforted her.

"Yueqin, you are really too good to me." Chu Qingtang's eyes were filled with tears, and he said to Ji Yueqin gratefully.

"Since we're friends, we should help each other, shouldn't we?" Ji Yueqin smiled lightly at Chu Qingtang and said softly.

Chu Qingtang looked at Ji Yueqin, nodded lightly, and clenched Ji Yueqin's hand with his backhand.

......

The letter sent by Xiuzhu here has arrived at the Chu family, and the Chu family saw that it was the news from the palace, and the aunt in Chu Qingtang's mouth dressed up and went out to entertain them.

Chu Qingtang's aunt Qian Shi's face was coated with thick fat powder, and her body also exuded a rich fragrance, which made people feel a little stunned.

When she saw her father-in-law from the palace sitting in the hall, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "This father-in-law, my lord is not here, just tell me something." ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the county lord sent me to just say to you, Miss Chu was left by the county lord for lunch, I'm just here to spread the word." The father-in-law said.

Qian Shi was stunned when he heard this, Chu Qingtang, a cheap girl, actually attached to the county lord!

Qian Shi gritted his teeth a little, but it was not good for him to come to the palace in front of his father-in-law, so he had to smile at this father-in-law with a smile on his face: "Thank you father-in-law for coming to inform me." ”

The father-in-law nodded, didn't stay too long in the Chu Mansion, got up and took his leave.

When the father-in-law went out of the house, the money-style face sank completely, and he called his eldest and youngest daughters to her room for a secret conversation.

It wasn't long before her two daughters hurried to their mother's room.

As soon as the youngest daughter Chu Xiangyu entered the house, she sat on a chair by herself, took the kettle and poured water for herself: "Why is my mother so anxious to call me and my sister here?" ”

The eldest daughter Chu Xiangyue has a different temperament from this Chu Xiangyu, she walked into the house and saluted her mother: "Xiangyue has seen my aunt, I don't know why my aunt called our sisters here?" ”

It's not that Chu Xiangyue doesn't like her mother, but her mother is not a housewife in this mansion, so she doesn't dare to call her mother in front of outsiders.

Qian Shi also understood that she didn't want to be the matriarch of the Chu Mansion, but the adults had been unwilling to straighten her up, and she also felt very resentful, but she was helpless.

She took Chu Xiangyue's hand and sighed: "Xiangyue, it's really hard for you, why doesn't my aunt want you to call me mother in a dignified manner." After speaking, he glanced at Chu Xiangyu, who only cared about drinking water, pinched her ear and said: "Look at your sister, and then look at you, you know what to eat and drink all day long." ”

"Okay, auntie, don't teach Xiangyu a lesson anymore, let's talk about what happened." Chu Xiangyue said softly to Qian Shi.

"Look at your sister, look at you." Qian Shi looked at Chu Xiangyu, who was a little uncompetitive, and said indignantly.

"My sister is much more generous and decent than me." She pouted, a little disapproving.

Qian Shi looked at this little daughter who gave people a headache, and didn't pay attention to it anymore, and after sending his subordinates out of the door, he said to the two of them: "Today, that little slut went to Taixue and actually climbed to the county lord. ”

Chu Xiangyue was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said softly: "It's really a long ability." ”

When Chu Xiangyu heard this, she scolded: "Why can she, Chu Qingtang, cling to the county lord!" ”

Before Qian Shi could speak, he heard Chu Xiangyue say coldly: "Just because she is the concubine of this Chu Mansion, she can go to Taixue by virtue of her identity as a concubine." ”

After hearing this, Chu Xiangyu became even more angry, and her little face turned red and scolded angrily: "Why is this little slut a concubine, she is obviously not as good as her sister!" ”

Qian Shi heard Chu Xiangyu say this, and said with a dark face: "Wait and see, I'll see how long she Chu Qingtang can be proud." ”
