Chapter 070: Feed the King/Eight
Old Madam Chi really regretted hearing Zi Jue's words, she didn't want Zi Jue to look at the people of the Xia family, because then it would be as her son wanted. (倩倩Chinese.)
She has always thought that her son has done a big stupid thing, maybe he is sick and confused, of course, there is no way to do it: if there is another way to go, she thinks that her son will never take Zijue back.
Zijue is a person, not a doll, how can he be so obedient?
There are too many variables in this, and these variables are what Mrs. Chi likes, so she didn't stop her son's arrangement, and let him take Zijue back to Chi Mansion.
However, if Zi Jue really took a fancy to Xia Chengqin, wouldn't her plan be in vain?
According to what she and the old lady meant, she wanted to arrange a stepdaughter for Chi Zifang.
It's not that I don't want to arrange a stepson, but there is only one son in the big house and the third room, how can I give it to the pool?
If the people in the clan are allowed to pass on, then they will still give Chi Zifang's family wealth to outsiders, even if they kill her and Mrs. Chi, their husband and wife will not do that.
However, Chi Zifang didn't want a stepdaughter, but took back an eldest daughter who had not been raised for a day, and also set up a document to ask the elders of the clan to testify.
That is, her second son saw through her thoughts - her stepdaughter recruited Chi Zifang to continue the incense, and taking care of the Xia family was just an excuse, no matter which one succeeded in the past, it was not filial piety.
Moreover, if the stepgirl didn't listen to Mrs. Chi and his wife, it was impossible for them to record that girl in Xia's name.
After seeing Zi Jue, Mrs. Chi naturally didn't like to come, but she was still happy to see Zi Jue's "closeness" to her.
At the end of the year, the daughter that Chi Zifang found back by himself didn't listen to Chi Zifang so much. still let Mrs. Chi breathe a little.
But things actually changed at this time, Zi Jue actually fell in love with Xia Chengqin?!
That's absolutely not a no.
Old Madam Chi smiled faintly: "Zijue has opened up?" This matter is not in a hurry, why should it be discussed after you have paid homage to the ancestral hall. There are many good men, Zijue always has to get to know each other well. Falling to the bottom is a lifelong event. β
Zi Jue smiled sweetly: "I think Cousin Xia is really good." "It just wants to make Mrs. Chi unhappy, who makes the people of Chi Mansion always make her unhappy.
Old Madam Chi coughed twice, of course she was very unhappy with Zi Jue's "dead eyes". But tonight is not to talk about Zijue's life.
She took a sip of tea before speaking: "Zijue, what are you playing with your second sister in the garden?" Now that she had a plan, there was a cold light when she looked behind the screen.
Zi Jue replied casually: "I didn't play anything, my second sister and I couldn't play together." She walked over to the screen, saying, "The flowers on here are just like the real ones." β
While saying that, she reached out to touch it, but the force of the touch was a little strong, and she actually "touched" the screen down at once; But the screams in the room rang out twice, and the biggest one was not Zi Jue's.
The screen fell to the ground and didn't bring much dust with it. Mrs. Chi is a person who loves cleanliness very much; Therefore, Zi Jue saw clearly when she screamed that the person who was smashed to the ground by the screen was Aunt Shangguan.
Seeing Shangguan's aunt Zi Jue crooked her mouth, she took a few steps back and patted her chest: "I'm scared to death." This sentence also suppressed Aunt Shangguan's screams.
Aunt Shangguan looked at Zi Jue hatefully, she was ten percent sure: Zi Jue deliberately pushed the screen down.
Zijue raised her eyebrows at her, and the screen was knocked down by me. But what can you do? Will the old lady still make decisions for you? If she's willing to call the shots for you, how could she let me know that there might be someone behind the screen, idiot.
Walking back to Mrs. Chi, her ruddy little face was not a little pale, but she had to pull Mrs. Chi's sleeve: "Startle me." β
Old Madam Chi patted Zijue and said lightly to Aunt Shangguan: "Get up, do you want to call the doctor?" β
There is no intention to call a doctor at all, and what I have to wait for is just Aunt Shangguan's "no need".
Aunt Shangguan is really in pain, and I really want to call the doctor to take a look. In the end, the injury was made more serious, which made the old lady's heart ache for three points in order to teach Zijue a lesson.
But she has been in Chi Mansion for more than a day or two, and she knows that if she answers and does not agree with Mrs. Chi, even if she can get a temporary advantage, there will definitely be no good things waiting for her in the future.
Although she didn't take Mrs. Chi in her eyes, she wanted to borrow Mrs. Chi's hand now. Especially when her daughter was kicked out of Chi Mansion, she couldn't go against Old Madam Chi's will anymore.
"No, ma'am." She gritted her teeth and got up, her brow furrowed in pain, and tears fell from her eyes.
Zi Jue glanced at her: "It's not easy for you to stand in such a big room, but you have to stand behind the screen, which scares me a lot - give me silver to crush the shock." β
Aunt Shangguan's eyebrows hardened when she heard this, she is not one of those weak and incompetent aunts in the Chi Mansion, even if the eldest lady and the second lady see her, they have to smile and say a few words: they are generally not courteous to her!
"I'm sorry big girl, I just picked up something for the old lady and happened to walk to the screen." She could only swallow this breath.
Zi Juebai stretched out her hand with a glance: "That also scared me, and I was shocked." Scare me to death, do you accompany me? β
Aunt Shangguan didn't want to entangle with Zijue: "Big girl, I happened to go to the garden tonight to make a vow, and I saw the big girl and people ...... by the lake."
She stopped talking halfway through her words, just looked at Zijue; She didn't believe that such a little girl as Zijue would not show her feet at this time.
Ha, dare to harm her daughter, and don't want to think that she is a mud bodhisattva who wants to cross the river!
Zi Jue's face did not change at all, and she happened to see Zi Qi come in at this time: "Second sister is here-Aunt Shangguan saw me arguing with you by the lake, and she wants to support you." β
Ziqi looked at Aunt Shangguan and frowned slightly: "Big sister, don't talk nonsense." She stepped forward to salute the old lady and did not say anything to Aunt Shangguan.
It seems that she is not very close to Aunt Shangguan.
This is also normal, she is the heart of the old lady, how can she be close to Aunt Shangguan? She didn't refute Zi Jue's words, but just looked at Zi Jue with some doubts.
Because Zijue and she quarreled not long after entering the garden, but they were far from the lake; But when she doesn't know anything, she doesn't talk nonsense.
Zi Jue looked at her and smiled slightly: "I asked someone to send a snack to my sister, did my sister receive it?" My uncle is back, and I want to say hello to my uncle and talk about my family. β
Ziqi's face changed, and he lowered his eyelids: "Father hasn't been in the house for the past two days." β
"I know, I think tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, one day my uncle will come back, and when my sister passes, I will ask my sister to mention a little more." Zi Jue really looks a little bit like a lady at this time.
Ziqi's head hung down: "Okay." β
Aunt Shangguan smiled: "What does the eldest girl mean by avoiding my words?" It can't be the person by the lake, so it's inconvenient for everyone to know, right? β
Hearing this, Zi Jue turned her head to look at Aunt Shangguan: "What are you barking at?" After speaking, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Chi, but saw that she was drinking tea.
Aunt Shangguan was a lot bolder when she saw Mrs. Chi's appearance: "The one by the lake is not the second girl, although I am standing farther away, but look at the dress is a man; Well, it's like a servant or something. β
"Big girl, what do you want the servants in the palace to do?" She knew that Zi Jue didn't know much, so she wanted Zi Jue to be fooled with such a sentence.
Zi Jue frowned: "Old lady, does Aunt Shangguan often tell the servants to do things at night?" That, according to my aunt, is that unruly? It's going to ruin your innocence. β
Aunt Shangguan's face changed, and she didn't expect Zi Jue to beat her upside: "Big girl, don't spray people with blood - the man you saw by the lake really didn't want to be discovered?" β
"Now the garden is full of people, if you find them in a while, what do you think you say about the big girl?" She said here and glanced at Mrs. Chi: "Actually, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized." β
"As long as the eldest girl admits her mistake and obeys the old lady's teachings in everything in the future, I believe she will definitely become a famous virtuous woman in Beijing."
After speaking, Aunt Shangguan bowed to the old lady: "You say, don't you?" "She is the key to Zi Jue, but it is not the only purpose, the most important thing is to please the old lady.
For the sake of her daughter who was expelled home, as long as the old lady was coaxed, the old lady could take back her poor daughter, the second aunt of the Chi family, with a word.
Zi Jue's heart sank, and he couldn't imagine that he had been caught doing things behind his back twice before and after; In addition to the fact that no one knows about the order to Bangqing, he buried his hair in the garden and saw Su Wanli in the garden.
How so? Last time it was a coincidence, so what about this time?
She lowered her head and looked at her toes, in the Chi Mansion, which pair of eyes were staring at herself so closely?
"Second sister, Aunt Shangguan said you were a man." Zi Jue went over and pushed Zi Qi: "If you don't speak, do you want to ruin my sister's reputation, or do you want to ruin your life?" β
Zi Qi raised her head and saw that Old Madam Chi's lips moved: "I have always, always been with my big sister. But her face was a little pale, and everyone could see that she was very weak-hearted.
Zi Jue didn't care if Old Madam Chi believed Zi Qi's words or not, what she wanted to do now was to go to the garden, saying that she couldn't let Su Wanli be caught by the people of Chi Mansion.
But it was not easy to leave, because the old lady and the others would definitely not agree. It was just a step for Ziqi to speak, at least someone testified to her that she was with Ziqi and not a man in the garden.
Now-she turned around sharply, stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Shangguan's collar: "Didn't you say that there are men in the garden, and let people search the garden, okay, then let's go search together!" β
"If you can't find it, I'll throw you directly into the lake and feed the king/eight!
