Chapter 023: Stealing Chickens Can't Be Done
Zijue didn't use a questioning tone, nor a weak tone, she just had some questions; Although she didn't directly say that she knew that the Wan family was once the wife of Chi Zifang Mingmei, her words already had this meaning, so that several Chi family members present knew that she knew what happened back then.
Mrs. Chi turned her head away, and Mrs. Chi lowered her head, the Xia family sat and ate tea, only the old ancestor Chi looked at her: "Your biological mother is the daughter-in-law of our Chi family who carried into the door with eight sedan chairs, whether it is your background or her life in the Chi family for several years, there is nothing to criticize." β
Zi Jue was really stunned, he didn't expect that there was another person in the Chi family who would say such a thing.
Old Lady Chi coughed twice and looked at Old Ancestor Chi: "Mother, you have only asked about family affairs for many years, and there are too many things that you are not very clear about; Son look, or let ......"
"You're not going to let me ask, are you? There's no place for me to talk in this house anymore, is there? Old Ancestor Chi didn't get angry, but said it with three points of grievance, just like a child asking an adult for candy; However, she is not a child, she is the oldest person in Chifu now.
There is only one word of filial piety, so that Mrs. Chi and Mrs. Chi can't say a word "no" to her; No matter what their husband and wife would actually do, their words would definitely not go against the will of the ancestor of Chi.
Zi Jue understands it now, it turns out that the mother and son are not in harmony!
I don't know what's going on with the Chi family, Chi Zifang and his mother are not in harmony, and the old lady Chi and his mother are not in harmony; Zi Jue felt very interesting, it was not the monolithic Chi family, of course it was more beneficial to her: it was as if she met a group of unreasonable uncles in the Jade Building, and when they were about to bully her because of a trivial matter, there was a conflict between them that was something she could take advantage of.
In the pool house, of course, the same. Zi Jue thought, although she has no helper, but she is not helpless, as long as she is given time, there will always be a time when she can be the master of her own house: rich people, just to save face; Sometimes, there are fewer ways to deal with Wen Si that are useful to her, because Wen Si only recognizes silver and is not afraid of what the neighbors will say about him.
Old lady Chi hurriedly shook his head: "The son is not filial, and the mother is not annoyed; It's all up to my mother. He glanced at Zi Jue: "But it's too troublesome to pick up people back and forth, and the longer you wait, the more disadvantageous it will be for Zi Jue; In case it spreads to the clan in the past two days......" he sighed, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. β
Zi Jue's head drooped even lower, and it could not be denied that when the ancestor of the Chi family said that he would take her mother to Beijing, she was hopeful; It's just that years of hard life have taught her that many things won't go too well, especially things that sound very good, and they can't really happen.
However, hearing Old Lady Chi's words, her heart still sank; Obviously, the Chi family did not want the Wan family to come to the capital; Although she thought about this, she didn't think too deeply, because she thought it was her own business from the beginning of the fight, and she didn't expect the Chi family to help.
But now she has to guard against the Chi family, because there are too many people in the Chi family and there are too many reasons to prevent the Wan family from leaving that town; For example, the Xia family, needless to say, the reason is needless to say, she must be the most reluctant to meet the Wan family in the capital; Another example is Old Lady Shen and Old Lady Shen, when the Wan family worked hard to serve them and was finally driven out, they didn't see the Wan family at all, let alone make decisions for the Wan family.
Zi Jue looked at the flowers on her toes, and vaguely thought of a little, maybe the people of the Chi family didn't want her to have anything to do with the Wan family anymore, right? Anyway, it is impossible for her to mention the idea of taking Wan's family to Beijing again, and as for what Chi Zifang said about taking Wan's family, she was lying to her at all.
The ancestor of the Chi family thought about it very seriously, and sighed when he looked at Zi Jue: "I didn't expect it......" Her words didn't go on, so she didn't know what she was going to say Zi Jue, but she could hear that she was extremely dissatisfied with her son: "Actually, you also know what I mean." β
Old Lady Chi also sighed: "Mother, the matter has been explained very clearly; He glanced at Zi Jue: "As for someone chewing his tongue, mother, how do you think it should be handled?" β
Old Ancestor Chi stood up: "You all have ideas, I'm old; She looked out the door as she spoke: "I'd better go to the Buddha hall and chant the sutras - you know, who I chant for, I just hope you all think clearly before you do things; Not only for you, but also for the children and grandchildren of our Chi family. β
Zi Jue had a good impression of the ancestor of the Chi family, because although she didn't have any special affection for herself, she remembered Wan's goodness; In addition, just by virtue of her dissatisfaction with the old lady and wife of the Chi family, Zi Jue can feel that the old man is very kind.
However, it is obvious that the ancestor of the Chi family can't manage much in the Chi family.
"The granddaughter asks the ancestors, grandfathers and grandmothers to make the decisions and correct the granddaughter's name; The granddaughter doesn't want to face the guidance of some people in the future, and she doesn't want to be told that she is not the Chi family. She blessed herself and said her request very clearly.
Old Lady Chi didn't expect Zi Jue to speak like this, he frowned a little unhappily: "It's not that we don't go to pick up people, but you also heard it, if the matter spreads to the clan, it will be very troublesome, maybe it will take a year or two to find out whether the matter is clear, so that no one in the clan is suspicious; But your father ......"
Zi Jue muttered in his heart: What does it matter to me, Chi Zifang should have died a long time ago, and the conscienceless and selfish guy still wants to live a long life? The people of your Chi family have asked God and the king of Yama if they have not, and the two old men will definitely not agree.
Listening to Old Lady Chi's words, looking at his expression, Zi Jue could be sure that the people of the Chi family didn't want her to have anything to do with the Wan family anymore, but she didn't say it.
"My granddaughter knows." Zi Jue met the eyes of the old lady Chi: "Back then, my father left me a jade pendant, with my birth date on it. β
Old Lady Chi's expression was relieved, and she looked at Zi Jue's gaze softened: "Really?" It is enough to prove this and see who can say anything else. "In fact, the jade pendant on one side does not have much effect, and it can't be used as a voucher in the official mansion, because as long as someone gets the jade pendant, they can say that they are Chi Zijue.
Zi Jue also had an extra heart, and did not tell the real owner of the jade, Wan, because the Xia family was here; It's better not to say it, she thought, at least not right now.
Xia Shi glanced up at Zi Jue and didn't speak, and continued to drink her tea, as if he had stayed out of the matter.
Mrs. Chi stretched out her hand: "Show it to your grandmother - your father has a jade from his ancestors, which has been handed down by our Chi family ancestors; A total of two pieces were passed down to the eldest son, but the old ancestor favored your father, so let us give him one piece of jade and let him pass it on to his son. β
"Later we learned that he gave the jade to your mother, and unexpectedly engraved it;" She shook her head gently: "Take it up, I will know the truth at a glance." β
Zi Jue couldn't help but look at Xia Shi when she heard this, and her gaze just collided, but she didn't see anything; She replied to Mrs. Chi's words and got up: "Okay, I'll go get it." β
She turned around and went into the room, and then after a while she screamed, and then she ran out and her face had changed greatly: "It's gone, my jade pendant is gone!" Tears were already welling up in her eyes, and she murmured with her hands, "It's gone, but I still looked at it last night." β
Xia stood up in shock: "How could it be gone?" She thinks that Zi Jue will say that the jade pendant is of course something, otherwise wouldn't it be a fool to expose his shortcomings? But I never thought that Zi Jue really couldn't take out that piece of jade.
Old Madam Chi's face was a little unsightly, and she looked at Zi Jue and looked back at her husband, obviously the doubts in her heart deepened again.
Old Lady Chi's face did not change at all: "Don't panic, let's look carefully, maybe it's in that corner; Think about it, where did you put it last night after you saw it, but you brought it with you? β
Zi Jue touched his body indiscriminately: "No, I didn't bring it with me; Last night I missed my mother's kiss, and I slept with the jade pendant in my handβ"
Hearing this, the corners of Mo Chou and Wanqing's eyes and mouth twitched, because they listened to Zi Jue's "mine mine" all night: Is this thinking about mother?
"That's right!" Zi Jue shouted: "I put it on the table when I got up in the morning, right on the table in my room, there will be no mistake." After she finished speaking, tears flowed: "But now there is none, I have searched all over the house, but there is none." β
Old Ancestor Chi reminded, "Will it slip under the table?" β
Zi Jue hurriedly turned around: "I'll go to ...... again" Before he finished speaking, he turned too quickly and stepped on his skirt, and fell backwards on his back; Fortunately, Mo Chou and Bang Qing were there, but they did not hold Zi Jue, but were taken to the ground by her, and the three of them rolled together.
The three of them pushed and climbed, and when they finally separated, Zijue had already rolled to Yun Niang's side; She lay dizzily beside Yun Niang: "It hurts me ......" Then her eyes stared at Yun Niang's waist and didn't move, and she stretched out a finger to the jade pendant on Yun Niang's waist: "That's mine!" β
Yun Niang's face was no longer colorless, and she was worried when she heard the answer between Zi Jue and Old Lady Chi about Yu Pei; It wasn't until she heard Zi Jue say that the jade pendant was placed on the table that she breathed a sigh of relief, quietly looked at the jade pendant on her waist several times, and didn't find any words engraved on it, so she relaxed slightly.
I don't want Zi Jue to point to the jade on her waist and scream nowβshe really wants to die headlong; In fact, she hung this piece of jade just to let Zi Jue know that she, the nurse, was the first one in her room, and even if she hid any good things, it would fall into her hands.
Inform against? Ha, how can you confirm that her Yun Niang's things were stolen from Miss Chi, don't forget that Miss Chi was penniless when she came, and she was able to find many people to confirm that the jade was bought by herself, and it was not a short time to buy it.
