Chapter 263: Diaphragm (1)
The matter of the Jia family's proposal made the Li family very embarrassed in front of his family. Regardless of his son Zhu Jintang's surprise and puzzlement, even Zhu Feng couldn't help but put down his face and reproached her: "Look at the good things you have done, the gains outweigh the losses." ”
Li Shi looked aggrieved, but she didn't dare to defend herself, so she could only lower her head and tidy up the hem of her cuffs, but when she got around, it looked even more wrinkled, which made her feel more and more unhappy.
Seeing her sullen appearance, Zhu Feng sighed helplessly and said, "You led the person into the door, so naturally you should be responsible for it to the end." If you really feel annoyed, send her back, out of sight and out of mind. ”
Seeing that her husband softened his tone, Li Shi nodded again and again: "I will send her away as soon as possible." ”
If, according to her own intentions, she can't wait to send it back early tomorrow. But Tong Chuchu is a big living person who can say that he can move, not like a cat or a dog, he can be chased away casually. Therefore, it will inevitably take two or three days to prepare and take care of the carriages and horses.
Although Tong Chuchu was resentful of her, the Li family couldn't throw her out directly, not to take care of her decency, but also to take care of the face of the Zhu family.
Now, Tong Chuchu is almost confined by the Zhu family, and can only stay in the room every day, and cannot go out casually, unless there is permission from the Li family.
Tong Chuchu sat in front of the mirror, looking at his faintly red left face, his eyes sank.
Last night, Li Shi was annoyed and angry, and slapped her a little out of control. The slap was not light, it was not heavy, she thought that she would be fine after one night, but now, it seems that it will take another day.
Hongling looked at her face very distressed, and complained in a low voice: "The eldest lady is also ruthless." ”
Tong Chuchu sneered: "She's just trying to pretend." But, it's a pity, I'm not afraid of her at all. ”
Li's slap made her more determined, no matter what, she would marry into the Jia family, and then find another opportunity to teach Li a big lesson to relieve her and the Zhu family of all kinds of humiliations to herself.
Hongling combed her hair and carefully inserted various hairpin rings into her hair.
Tong Chuchu looked at it and said, "It seems to be too plain, let's change it again." ”
When Hongling heard this, she hurriedly picked the most delicate one and put it on for her until she was satisfied.
Tong Chuchu knew that Li Shi didn't let her go out, but she wanted to go out.
After the door opened, the maids who were guarding the courtyard immediately stepped forward and blessed Tong Chuchu slightly, which was considered a salute. "Girl, where are you going? The eldest lady has instructed you to rest in the house for a few days. ”
Tong Chuchu's eyes were clear and cold, she pursed her lips and smiled: "My aunt is concerned about my physical discomfort, but I have already rested and want to go out for a walk." ”
The maid chuckled: "I'm afraid this won't work, the eldest lady specially instructed the slaves and maids to take care of the girl, so the girl should obediently go back to the house, so as not to embarrass the slaves and maids......"
Bewilderment...... Tong Chuchu sneered and said, "If I have to go out of this room today, what are you going to do with me?" ”
When the maid heard this, her eyebrows moved and she only said: "If the girl has to go out, then the slave can only go back to the lady and let the lady be the master." ”
Tong Chuchu heard this, stretched out his hand and pushed the maid aside, "Since this is the case, then you should hurry up and complain." After speaking, he stepped out of the door, and Hongling followed closely behind, carefully glancing at the expressions of the people around him.
"Girl, are you deliberately trying to get into trouble?" The maid did not show weakness, and once again blocked in front of Tong Chuchu, glared and said, "It seems that the slave has to stop the girl." ”
When Tong Chuchu heard this, his face couldn't help but be a little arrogant, stared at her face, and asked, "Why are you stopping me?" is just a maid, and it may not be too self-aware. Although I am not your serious master, I am also a guest of the Zhu family, is it possible, do you still want to do it to me? Is this the hospitality of the Zhu family? Is that how your master taught you to take care of your guests? ”
Since Tong Chuchu came to the Zhu family, he has always been silent, even if he is wronged, he will silently swallow his anger, and he will never be as sharp as now.
The maid's gaze dodged a few times, but she continued: "Girl, the slaves and maids are also ordered to do things, what the eldest lady says, the slaves and maids will do?" If you have any complaints, please tell the eldest lady directly, there is no need to be angry with the slaves. ”
Tong Chuchu raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'm going to see the eldest lady now." ”
The maid smiled slightly, her tone was full of contempt, and said, "The eldest lady will go to the west courtyard to take care of the eldest grandmother, I'm afraid I won't have time to see you for a while." The slave and maid kindly persuaded the girl, so let's do it ourselves. ”
Tong Chuchu's eyes sank when he heard this, and he slowly stepped forward, with a faint smile on his face, he suddenly raised his hand, stretched out his slender ten fingers, and directly gave the maid a slap, which made her stunned on the spot.
Not only was she stunned, but everyone present was stunned.
Hongling unconsciously covered her mouth, looked at Tong Chuchu, gently tugged on her sleeve, and said, "Miss, you are ......"
Tong Chuchu grimaced, looked at the stunned maid opposite with half-raised eyes, and said coldly: "I think, it's better for you to do it yourself." You are a slave, I am the master, no matter how turn it is your turn to be proud in front of me. If you dare to stop me again, I will never spare you" After speaking, he pushed her aside again, and then, without looking at her, continued to walk forward with Hongling.
The maids in the courtyard looked at each other, but no one dared to say anything when they stepped forward.
Tong Chuchu took Hongling all the way to the west courtyard, she walked very fast and hurriedly, so that before anyone could go over to pass the word, she was already standing at the door of the west courtyard.
At this time, Li Shi was drinking tea and talking with Shen Yuechen, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not comfortable, but the sudden arrival of Tong Chuchu made the atmosphere in the house change instantly......
At first, Li thought that she had heard it wrong, but the maids' words were so clear that she had to believe it.
Shen Yuechen couldn't help frowning, seeing that Li's face was wrong, he suddenly had a plan in his heart.
Chun Ming and Cui Xin were both alert, thinking, that Tong Chuchu must be a bad person who comes, and a good person who doesn't come.
Shen Yuechen saw that Li Shi didn't speak for a long time, so he took the lead and said, "Let her in." ”
Li Shi was slightly stunned, and said, "Good and dignified, what do you see her doing?" ”
Shen Yuechen said lightly: "She's here, it's not good to turn her away, what's more, she is a guest passing by the door, your niece......"
When Li Shi heard this, he felt that the words were sharp and very harsh. But she couldn't say anything, because she really had nothing to say.
Soon, a slender and gorgeous figure appeared in front of the two.
"How dare you trespass at this time?" Li Shi squeezed the handkerchief in his hand hard, and looked at Tong Chuchu's face with a slightly uneasy expression, worried that she would say something inappropriate.
A smile bloomed on Tong Chuchu's delicate face, and he slowly stepped forward and said, "Chu Chu asked his aunt and cousin to say goodbye, Chu Chu came on a whim, and it came suddenly, so I hope the two of you are not strange." ”
Li Shi's tone was full of displeasure: "It's really unpleasant, come if you want to, you kid is really getting more and more unruly." ”
Shen Yuechen looked calm, didn't see any displeasure, and said lightly: "Don't get in the way, the eldest lady and I happen to be drinking tea." Sister Chu Chu also sat down and tried it. As soon as her words fell, Chun Ming stepped forward to show Tong Chuchu a seat, and said in a lukewarm voice: "Girl, please take a seat." ”
Li Shi kept frowning, staring at Tong Chuchu sitting in front of him, wondering what she had in mind to fight ghosts?
Tong Chuchu sat there generously, letting Shen Yuechen's smiling gaze look back and forth on her body. Also, Li Shi's nail-like eyes, I can't wait to poke several holes in her body with my eyes.
Although Shen Yuechen had only seen Tong Chuchu once before, he still remembered her face vividly.
A beauty like her will be unforgettable for anyone who sees it.
After a few days of not seeing her, she seemed to have lost some weight, I don't know if it was because she was in a hurry, the fat powder on her face was not evenly smeared, and the left cheek seemed to be redder......
Shen Yuechen's eyes flickered slightly, as if he suddenly understood something, lowered his eyes, and didn't look at it anymore.
Tong Chuchu sat for a while, then suddenly got up and saluted and said: "My cousin-in-law is pregnant, and the whole family is happy, but Chu Chu has not been able to come over to officially say hello, I am really ashamed." Although he came a little late, Chu Chu still sincerely congratulated his cousin-in-law on her happiness and wished you an early birth of your precious son. ”
She is quite polite, and she speaks kindly.
Shen Yuechen smiled slightly and replied, "Thank you for your kindness." After speaking, she lowered her eyes and ate tea, deliberately leaving the stubble to Li.
Li Shi immediately said to Tong Chuchu: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant and not easy to work, so why should you disturb her purity?" I didn't tell you to stay in the house and recuperate. ”
Tong Chuchu said with a smile: "Aunt is kind-hearted, how can Chu Chu not appreciate it?" It's just that it's really annoying to be stuffy in the room all the time, so I want to come out and breathe. Who knows, the maids outside the door watched people too closely, blocked the door and didn't move, only said that it was my aunt's order, and didn't let me step out of the door for half a step, so I was delayed for a while. ”
Li Shi listened to her words, and his brows deepened.
Tong Chuchu continued to smile and said: "I know, my aunt feels sorry for me, but those maids are too ignorant, and they are all arrogant, and they are about to treat me as a beggar who has come to beg for food." ”
Li Shi heard her say so presumptuous and indecent, so he hurriedly interrupted: "What are you talking about? ”
Tong Chuchu was glared at by Li Shi's Lingli's eyes, and his heart trembled slightly, but he continued to say deliberately: "I just think those maids don't respect me enough. I'm a guest from you, aunt, not a beggar who comes to your door, and they should be respectful to me, shouldn't they? There are people outside of people, there are heavens outside of heaven, and no one can predict what will happen in the future, can they? ”
When Li Shi heard what she said, he was so angry that his face was blue and white for a while.
It seems that Tong Chuchu has no scruples now, he dares to say anything, and he actually dares to come over to demonstrate with himself in front of Shen Yuechen!
Li Shi was indignant in her heart and almost wanted to attack, but in order not to let herself lose control and lose her dignity in front of Shen Yuechen, she took several deep breaths in a row, but she still couldn't speak calmly.
Shen Yuechen has always been thoughtful, how could he not see the tense atmosphere between Li Shi and Tong Chuchu, the two of them exchanged words, and no one spared anyone......
After hearing about the Jia family's proposal, Shen Yuechen once assumed in his heart that the relationship between the Li family and Tong Chuchu would change. They were originally a group, with one heart and one mind, calculating themselves and Zhu Jintang together. However, the arrival of this child made Li Shi have to change his mind and give up Tong Chuchu, and he had to treat her a lot of coldness, even bag milk, as if he wanted to deliberately get rid of the well-known kinship between them.
Tong Chuchu, who was bent on getting ahead, was used by the Li family, and as a result, he did not get a name, but also lost his reputation. No one would willingly accept such an outcome.
Shen Yuechen had long expected that their relationship would change, but he didn't expect it to become so bad.
It stands to reason that in addition to complaining about the Li family, Tong Chuchu should also complain about Zhu Jintang and her.
Zhu Jintang mercilessly ignored her unforgettable face, and she was suddenly pregnant, robbing her of her scenery and blocking her opportunities, almost completely making her a big joke of the Zhu family.
The resentment in Tong Chuchu's heart, although she can't see it, she can feel it. And Lai's anger is just as obvious.
The atmosphere in the room became a little dull, and suddenly a childish laugh interrupted it.
Shen Yuechen raised his eyes and followed the voice, only to see that Zhu Ying and Brother Ming were holding hands and jumping in from the door.
The faces of the two people were red, and the maid behind them was also chasing them, tired and sweaty.
As soon as Brother Ming entered the house, he found that everyone's faces were wrong, and when he saw that Tong Chuchu was also there, he somewhat understood what was going on.
Although Zhu Ying doesn't understand things between adults, she is very good at looking at eyes. Sometimes, she only needs to glance at Shen Yuechen's eyes to know if she is really happy.
Children's eyes are the most pure and immaculate, so they can always see things that adults can't see, such as sincerity, such as happiness......
When Shen Yuechen was truly happy, her eyes would bend slightly, and she smiled very brightly, her eyes were shining, like broken gold scattered in the sun, golden and soft.
Zhu Ying likes Shen Yuechen's eyes when she laughs, so she always observes very carefully, very carefully.
However, although Shen Yuechen was smiling, there was no such brilliance in her eyes, just faint, faint.
