Hearing that voice, Chu Dai'er looked at Chu Xi a little confused: "How are you?"

Chu Xi said lightly: "Since I know that she hasn't returned for a long time, how can I not be alert?" Fourth sister, you started in such a hurry, have you ever thought about the consequences? ”

Chu Dai'er looked at the door of the green sandalwood had already helped the green buds in, the green buds were flushed, it seemed that the residual poison had not subsided, but the light in her eyes was firm and clear.

"Fourth Miss, the slave maid has a wrong thought about the cousin, but the slave and the maid will never bring trouble to the cousin and the young lady for their own selfish desires, next time the fourth miss wants to do something to my little slave again, why don't you give me a knife!" Green Sprout was also angry, if it wasn't for Green Sandalwood arriving in time, she was really afraid that she would not be able to control it.

Chu Dai'er stared at her with her mouth closed, but Lu Tan hurriedly helped Lu Ya down, and walked over and saluted Chu Xi: "Girl, I have caught a lot of people, and I have already sent them to the old lady." ”

Chu Ji bowed slightly, looked at Chu Dai'er, who leaned forward and was about to leave, and said, "Fourth sister, I still want to ask you something, I hope you can answer me honestly." ”

Chu Dai'er's figure steadied, and she turned her head to look at Chu Xi, who had a leisurely expression: "What, do you want to ask me if I participated in harming your biological mother?" But big sister, when your biological mother died, I was less than ten years old, how could I have such great ability? ”

Seeing that Chu Dai'er didn't say anything, Chu Xi was not in a hurry: "Then you must hide your true purpose and the people behind it, otherwise if you are caught, you will not only be ruined." ”

Chu Dai'er looked at her, her heart was full of jealousy, why was she better than herself in everything, obviously she was a waste chess piece abandoned by the Chu family, but now she made herself so angry and jealous!

"There is one more thing, I think it is better to tell the fourth sister earlier." Chu Xi finally put down the teacup. looked at her with a smile: "From now on, the Chu Mansion will be fed by me, and none of your people will want to stay in the backyard." ”

"Chu Xi!" Chu Dai'er red-eyed with hatred: "I have no grudge against you, and I can also guarantee the future."

Seeing that Chu Dai'er was panicked, Chu Xi thought that there were only a lot of forces she had cultivated in this Chu Mansion, but now that she went to the family temple, she would do it herself, let its forces be intertwined, and don't want to stay at all.

"What kind of temperament the fourth sister is, you and I know very well, so there is no need to say more. It's already late at night, why don't the fourth sister go back to rest earlier? Chu Ji looked at her angry appearance and said.

Chu Dai'er's fingers clenched tightly: "Chu Xi, you will regret it if you go against me like this!" ”

"You almost made me regret it just now, Chu Dai'er, if you dare to hurt a single hair of the people around me, I will make you regret everything you did." Chu Dai's tone was cold, Chu Dai'er was a poisonous snake that couldn't be raised and fed, always silent in the cold corner, waiting for an opportunity to move, now that she was angered to the bright place, Chu Xi was more at ease!

Chu Dai'er gritted her teeth with hatred, glanced at the sarcastic green sandalwood on her face, and left directly with a calm face.

After she left, Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi in surprise: "I can't see that Miss is so powerful!" ”

Chu Ji glanced at her: "Have you seen Lin Fu?" ”

"I saw it, I told him what Miss meant, and he said that he would have results in the morning." Green Sandalwood was a little excited, and when she remembered what she was going to do next, her little heart began to flutter and flutter, especially lively.

"You go and urge him again, it's best to get the results before dawn, I hope this time I can let Chu Dai'er settle down for a while." At the very least, she will wait until she cleans up these individuals in the Chu Mansion.

"Okay." Green Sandalwood nodded hurriedly and ran away.

Xiao Fu'er waited outside for a long time, and when she saw that Lu Tan finally said that she could go in, she asked people to bring the food in.

"Miss, have you had a particularly good appetite lately?" Xiao Fu'er looked at Chu Xi while serving twice the usual amount of food to the table, and the young lady also specially prepared a blood-clotting soup to calm her nerves, which made her feel so strange.

Chu Xi chuckled: "Well, I feel that my legs hurt at night, and the menstrual affairs are very strange, so I said"

Chu Ji didn't finish speaking, and the mother-in-law who was helping to serve the food on the side laughed: "Girl, this is probably growing taller, it is normal to have a larger amount of food, go back and drink some nourishing soup, and then go to the pharmacy to prescribe some tonics, it should be fine." ”

Xiao Fu'er looked surprised: "So that's the case." ”

Chu Xi saw that someone had finished talking, so he didn't say more, looking at the few people who were waiting to serve the meal, Chu Ji said, "It's not early, you all go down and wait first." ”

Xiao Fu'er thought that Chu Xi was worried that everyone would laugh at her when they watched her eat so many meals, so she covered her lips and smiled yes, and went down with everyone. Seeing that everyone was gone, Chu Xi took the food and entered the room.

When the person on the bed heard footsteps coming, his eyes that were still open immediately closed, and he didn't open them slightly until Chu Xi reached the edge of the bed.

"Let's drink some blood-clotting soup first, and I'll ask someone to buy some medicine later." Chu Ji brought the soup and food on a plate and put them aside.

Lin Qingyu coughed lightly twice and looked at Chu Xi: "I don't have strength in my arm"

Chu Xi frowned and looked at him: "Then you wait a while, I'll let him feed you when Lu Tan comes back." ”

"But I'm hungry" Lin Qingyu saw Chu Ji turn his head to leave, and said busily.

Chu Xi looked at the food, and then looked at Lin Qingyu, who was almost transparent with a pale face: "I won't feed the food." ”

"It's okay, I'll teach you." Lin Qingyu smiled.

Chu Xi: ""

In the end, Lin Qingyu was still half-full under Chu Xi's 'service', but he was also very content.

"By the way, I heard your conversation with the fourth lady of the Chu family." Lin Qingyu said suddenly.

Chu Xi paused slightly as he was about to leave with the plate, and turned his head to look at him.

Lin Qingyu thought seriously for a while before he said seriously: "I thought about it carefully, I still only like you, so you don't have to ask the emperor to withdraw from the marriage, and you don't have to go to my father, they will never allow me to marry the second room." ”

Chu Xi was dumbfounded, paused, and still asked, "Is your injury related to the invasion of Southern Xinjiang?" ”

Lin Qingyu was a little surprised that Chu Xi actually knew this, and bent his eyes to look at her: "What, you want to avenge me?" ”

Chu Xi: "You can rest first." Then he turned around and went out.

Lin Qingyu smiled even more happily, the things in southern Xinjiang are far less simple than what she sees on the surface, she still doesn't know it, as for this Chu Dai'er, she can't afford to make any waves now, so let her practice her hands.

After dinner, Chu Xiao had been sitting in the flower hall waiting for news, and when she heard someone report it, Li Xiao went back and forth to the front of the Pavilion a few times, but she didn't come in.

Chunzhi hurriedly came in from outside the house, and he didn't have time to pat off the snow on his body: "Miss, you caught the person who sent him to Ronghua Courtyard, and he has been kicked out by the old lady, as for the fourth miss"

Chu Ji looked at her: "Go on." ”

Chunzhi looked at the calm Chu Ji and said, "Mrs. Li knew that the fourth lady actually installed someone in her yard, and this time she almost hurt her cousin, so she was so angry that she went directly to the fourth lady's courtyard to make trouble, I heard that the old lady didn't stop it, and the fourth lady also slapped Mrs. Li twice." After a while, Mrs. Li is estimated to come to chase the Jin Pavilion."

"I know, I'm waiting." Chu Xi said lightly: "You go and arrange for someone to watch the green shoots, no matter how big the movement is, she is not allowed to come out." ”

Chunzhi hurriedly bowed his head: "Then the fourth lady still wants to keep an eye on it?" ”

"No, you don't." Chu Xi chuckled, Chu Dai'er is a scheming person, but Mrs. Li is a person who doesn't care about her son, she was slapped twice, and she is probably going crazy with anger, but this is the first gift she gave her before leaving.

Chunzhi retreated in response, and sure enough, it wasn't long before she saw Mrs. Li coming angrily, Li Xiao followed behind her, and when she saw Chu Xi, her face was full of apologies.

Mrs. Li saw Chu Xi sitting neatly dressed in the flower hall, and frowned: "It seems that Ji Er knows what I am doing, so I won't talk too much nonsense, hand over that shameless girl." ”

"Shameless? Who is my aunt referring to? Chu Xi asked with a faint smile, Li Xiao stood beside Mrs. Li, and when she saw Chu Xi like this, she suddenly felt that she was even more out of reach.

Mrs. Li had a calm face: "Do you still want me to name your surname, you don't know which girl you sent to Xiao'er's Courtyard?" ”

"It turns out that my aunt is talking about green shoots." Chu Xi chuckled lightly and raised her eyes to look at Li Xiao: "Cousin Xiao isn't dizzy now?" ”

Li Xiao's face was slightly red: "Thank you eldest sister for your concern, I'm fine." ”

"Oh, yes, then you should really thank me for this girl, otherwise you will vomit and faint on the side of the road because you can't see the bloody scene, and no one will send it back, and it will not be good to catch a cold in the snow." Chu Xi said lightly.

Li Xiao's face was slightly red: "What the eldest sister said is reasonable. ”

Chu Xi was a little disappointed in such a Li Xiao, Green Shoots was framed by design because of him, but even though he was making trouble with the Li family.

"She wants to climb up Xiao'er's"

"Doesn't my aunt think it's too much to say such things to me!" Chu Xi's tone was slightly heavy, and she raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Li coldly: "I am still a girl who has not left the cabinet, and the maid ring below almost made a mistake because she was drugged, but if it wasn't for sending Li Gongzi back, she would not have been slandered." If she really ruined her reputation as her aunt said, her aunt thinks she can still live? Are you here to make trouble now, do you want me to give you her life? ”

Li Xiao listened to Chu Xi's address to him from 'Cousin Xiao' to 'Li Gongzi', and felt lost: "Big sister, my mother didn't mean that"

"Then please tell me what Mrs. Li means?" Chu Xi lightly hooked the corners of her mouth.

Mrs. Li looked at Chu Xi, who was not as tall as herself, and her face was slightly tight: "Chu Xi, is this your cultivation and your tutor!" ”

"My daughter was left in a nunnery to endure all the hardships, and I have cultivated it, but what I learned in the mountains is the ability to deal with aggressive and wicked people." Chu Xi is unceremoniously, Mrs. Li is the person who is the most proficient in inches, Qin Xue has been hated by her because she did not save Li Xiao until now, and she has tried her best in front of the old lady, and now in such a situation as her, if she pretends to be soft and behaved, she will only be bullied more ruthlessly.

Mrs. Li was so angry that she raised her hand and pointed at her: "You, you dare to say that I am a wicked person!" ”

Chu Xi exhaled, stood up and walked in front of Mrs. Li and saluted: "Auntie, don't be angry, I just want to ask for justice for Yahuan, you can rest assured, no matter what trouble Li Gongzi encounters in the future, we will not take action again, we will do everything possible to avoid what my aunt is worried about." ”

Mrs. Li was so angry that she trembled again, but she couldn't refute it, Li Xiao was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and she helped Mrs. Li: "Okay, mother, let's go back." ”

"Go back? She's so rude."

"Mother! It is said that the daughter who got married spilled the water, and now the eldest sister is the master of this Chu Mansion, we are guests! Li Xiao's voice was raised, she turned her head to look at Chu Xi, and pursed her lips slightly: "Big sister, I'm disturbed, I hope you don't take it to heart." With that, he forcibly took Mrs. Li away.

Hearing these movements, the subordinates all lowered their heads to death, and they used to think that the eldest lady was just a rude and rude master, but now it seems that there are not only means, but also courage.

Wait for them to go. Lu Ya ran in, and knelt in front of Chu Xi with red and swollen eyes: "Miss, it's all slaves and maids who have caused you trouble." ”

Chu Xi helped her up: "What's the matter with you, it's just that they are ungrateful." I just said that I won't save Li Xiao again, have you ever been angry? ”

Green Bud bit her lip stubbornly: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"Don't dare, that's still angry." Chu Ji sighed lightly in her heart, she was betrayed by everyone in her last life because of a love word, and now she doesn't want Green Sprout to be like this, after all, the closest person to her is only this girl: "It's okay, it's not angry, when these things are over, if you want to marry Li Xiao, I can help you find a way, but it's definitely not now, understand?" "Now that Mrs. Li is angry, even if Green Shoots can follow Li Xiao, I'm afraid that she won't get a good result.

"The slave is not angry. The slave knows that the young lady is good for the slave. Green Sprout choked.

Chu Xi looked at her drooping eyes, and wanted to persuade her again but didn't know where to persuade her, the most helpless thing was the most helpless, and there was no cure for it.

"That's it, it's not early, you can go back and rest." Chu Ji said.

The green sprout bowed, turned around and retreated.

Chu Xi looked at the sky and went back to the flower hall to continue waiting, but the lights had already been turned off and everyone was sent away.

In the dark, the window let in some light, Chu Xi sat on the warm couch and waited, but heard a sound in the room.

Chu Xi frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

There was no voice from Lin Qingyu in the room, but those noises were still there, Chu Xi was surprised, and hurriedly stepped in to hear Lin Qingyu's suppressed moans of pain.

Chu Xi hurriedly stepped forward to lift the curtain, taking advantage of the light outside the window. You can see that he is closing his eyes tightly, sweating profusely, as if he is enduring something.

"Lin Qingyu, what's wrong with you?" Chu Xi asked.

Lin Qingyu didn't seem to hear her words, Chu Ji knew that he was in a dream, turned over to bed, began to wipe the sweat on his forehead for him, and grabbed his hand to comfort him. But what is his nightmare, is there a fear or hatred that he can't get rid of, just like himself?

Chu Xi couldn't think about it, but Lin Qingyu's struggle seemed to slowly lighten up, and when Chu Ji touched his forehead, it was amazingly hot.

"Water," Lin Qingyu shouted in a daze.

Chu Xi hurriedly got up and went to bring water, carefully lifted his head, and fed the warm tea into it.

After feeding the tea, and hearing Lin Qingyu whispering something again, Chu Xi leaned down to listen, but there was a warm touch on his face, and Chu Xi raised his head suddenly. found that Lin Qingyu was snickering with his eyes open in a daze, Chu Xi was embarrassed in his heart, and let go directly, and Lin Qingyu's head smashed firmly on the head of the bed.

Lin Qingyu frowned in pain, and Chu Ji panicked: "Are you okay?" She had almost forgotten that he was seriously wounded.

Lin Qingyu opened her eyes and looked at her worried look, and her thin lips raised a big arc: "Then you let me kiss it again, and it will be fine." ”

Chu Xi looked at him with a high fever and his face was slightly red, he was angry and wanted to laugh: "Lin Shizi, which one is the real you?" "When I first met, he was a dull and verbose nerd, and then he became the owner of Ruyifang, who was strategizing, and even the famous Wuji Pavilion master in the rivers and lakes, but now it seems that he is just a scoundrel who will hang up if he is not careful and will not forget to play hooligan.

"It's all me, and I just want to marry Chu Xi alone." Lin Qingyu smiled lightly, looked at Chu Xi in front of him in a daze, and finally couldn't bear the deep sleep, and fell asleep again, but once he didn't enter the nightmare again.

Chu Xi looked at the person on the bed. Looking at his deep and handsome facial features in the faint light, he took two steps back: "The word love, I shouldn't have touched it." With that, he turned around and left.

It was almost dawn when Lu Tan hurried back, even though it was cold outside, but a little sweat appeared on her forehead: "Miss, there is a result, now Lin Fu has rushed to Jingzhao Yin Mansion." ”

"That's good." Chu Xi smiled faintly and finally breathed a sigh of relief. can make Chu Dai'er remember for a long time and not come to trouble herself, a few verbal threats are naturally not enough, she has to let her know that she is afraid, and she will have scruples when she makes a move in the future.

Chu Dai'er didn't sleep all night, and the people who went to the family temple were originally her henchmen, but because Chu Ji sent those people who were found out to the old lady, the old lady replaced all the maids around her overnight, and replaced them with the old lady's people.

"Fourth Miss, it's not too early, it's time to get ready to go." A girl came in and said.

"The third lady hasn't come back yet?" Chu Dai'er asked.

The girl shook her head: "The third lady and Aunt Nie were allowed to go back to their parents' house for half a month this time, and I am afraid that they will come back later." ”

Chu Dai'er gritted her teeth slightly, and pointed to her box for the girl: "Carry this to the carriage, be careful, don't bump into it." ”

The girl looked at Chu Dai'er twice with a little surprise, and it was usually said that this fourth young lady was the most weak and timid, why did she look like a different person today.

Sensing Yahuan's eyes, Chu Dai'er was slightly annoyed, but it was not appropriate to expose herself in front of everyone now, so she lowered her eyebrows, put on her cloak and walked out.

In front of Chu Dai'er Chu Mansion, she wanted to go to the old lady's courtyard to say goodbye, but when she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she saw Jiang's mother, who had been guarding for a long time: "Fourth Miss, the old lady has ordered, it is cold today, and the fourth lady does not need to be polite, go on the road early, and go to the family temple to sincerely serve the ancestors." ”

Chu Dai'er looked up at her: "Did that grandmother say, when will I be able to come back?" ”

Mother Jiang smiled slightly: "The old lady didn't say it, but as long as the fourth lady is sincere, I believe the old lady will take you back to the house soon." ”

Chu Dai'er's eyes were slightly filled with tears: "Dai'er knows, and when I bother my mother to tell my grandmother, I said that Dai'er can't serve by her side, so please take care of your grandmother." After that, he knelt down directly at the gate of the courtyard and kowtowed three times: "Dai'er thanks her grandmother for so many years of care, Dai'er lost her mother when she was a child, and was left in the backyard and no one cared about her, the only thing that treats Dai'er well is her grandmother, Dai'er is now ignorant and has made mistakes, and please grandmother must not be too sad." Dale, say goodbye to your grandmother. After Chu Dai'er knelt and choked up, Mother Jiang's eyes were a little wet, and she hurriedly helped her up: "Fourth Miss's heart, the old slave will definitely tell the old lady." ”

Chu Dai'er gently wiped away her tears and looked at her with red eyes: "Then thank you Mother Jiang." After speaking, he reluctantly turned his head and left.

Chu Dai'er went to the housewife Qin Xue and Chu Bingsong to ask for peace again, and used the same method to get out of the house.

When I left the house, the snow in the sky had stopped a little, but the haze was still there.

Before Chu Dai'er sat in the carriage, she looked back at the empty gate of the mansion that no one had come to send her, her eyes were cold, and she turned her head and got into the carriage and left.

Watching her carriage go away, a crimson figure came out of the corner.

Lu Tan stood beside him and looked at Chu Dai'er who was leaving, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally sent one away." ”

Chu Xi smiled faintly: "I will be back soon, but if she can leave, it will be enough for me to arrange for a while." With Chu Dai'er's scheming, coupled with the people who helped her behind her, if she wanted to come back, it would definitely not be too long.

"Hehe, she should be half angry today, but she dares to collude with the people of southern Xinjiang, we haven't caught the evidence, otherwise we will immediately call someone to arrest her." Green Sandalwood Road.

Chu Xi shook her head slightly: "With her temperament, if there is really this day." She will definitely drag everyone in Chu Mansion, and none of us will be able to run away at that time. ”

"Won't you wait until you marry the Hou Mansion?"

Chu Ji looked at her with a smile: "At that time, the Hou Mansion is afraid that it will also be implicated." Chu Xi didn't say anything more, turned his head and went back, Lin Qingyu had a high fever last night, I don't know how it is now.

Chu Dai'er rode all the way out of the city in a carriage, and suddenly heard a commotion, and someone vaguely mentioned the word 'Southern Xinjiang', so she opened the curtain and asked Yahuan on the side: "What's going on?" ”

"Miss Huiyu, I heard that it seems that the yamen has discovered the den of the assassins in southern Xinjiang and is arresting people." The girl looked into the crowd.

Chu Dai'er sighed in her heart: "Stop the carriage first, I'm hungry, let's find something to eat nearby." ”

The girl answered and led the carriage to stop on the side of the road, and Chu Dai'er got out of the carriage and walked straight to the noodle stall near the crowd.

"Miss, let's be at this stall"

"Got it." Chu Dai'er replied impatiently, her eyes only staring at the middle of the crowd.

"Go away, go away, these are Southern Assassins. Don't watch, they will all raise poison Gu to harm people, get out of the way! The official who opened the road in front shouted loudly, and the people around him hurriedly avoided snakes and scorpions when they heard it.

Chu Dai'er had a calm face, and the girl also knew that Chu Dai'er's biological mother was from southern Xinjiang, so she didn't dare to say anything.

Chu Dai'er looked at Jing Zhao Yin Han Min who rode out on a tall horse in front of her, her silver teeth bit slightly, and when she looked behind him, there were all prisoners, both men and women, who were trapped with iron chains and thrown in the prison car. The only difference between them and ordinary prisoners is that their faces are full of scars, and they look a bit hideous and terrifying beyond recognition.

When everyone saw it, they retreated even more frightenedly.

"I heard that they specialize in raising a kind of Gu in their bodies, and after a long time, the Gu will backlash, and their faces will become like no human beings, no ghosts, and no ghosts." Someone whispered, and everyone began to talk about it.

When Chu Dai'er heard this, she sneered coldly in her heart. Foolish people, people who can really raise Gu, as long as they feed their own flesh and blood regularly, and when the Gu worm grows up and is about to backfire, then raise this Gu worm into someone else's body for a period of time, preferably someone with deep internal strength, in this way, not only will the two of them be fine, but the Gu worm raised will be extremely powerful.

The people in the cage seemed to see Chu Dai'er, their eyes lit up, but they all opened their mouths to tell her not to come to the rescue.

Chu Dai'er looked at the seven or eight people who were arrested in this line, and gritted her teeth with hatred, these people have been with her for seven or eight years, and now they have been wiped out in a pot, which is equivalent to completely cutting off her roots!

Han Min also seemed to see Chu Dai'er, but as soon as he turned his head, Chu Dai'er had already gotten up and left.

"Miss, it's time for us to go." The maid ring in front of him reminded.

A hint of murderous aura flashed in Chu Dai'er's eyes. The tone also became extremely cold: "I know, let's go." After that, she walked towards the carriage, and as soon as she entered the carriage, she saw a letter on the seat of the carriage, and the font in the letter was a delicate hairpin, which she recognized, this was Chu Xi's handwriting.

Chu Dai'er's palms clenched tightly, and she slammed her fist on the door frame: "Chu Xi, you wait for me!" ”

At this time in the Chu Mansion, Chu Xi returned to the Jin Pavilion, and when she arrived in the room, she saw that the bed was empty, leaving only a note, 'Shang Chao'.

Chu Xi frowned, he was seriously injured, he was so burned last night that his mind was not clear, do you want to go to the court today.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Green Sandalwood followed.

Chu Xi folded the note and burned it on the candle flame on the side: "It's okay." You tell someone to tidy up the room and rest for a while, we have important things to do in the afternoon. ”

"Okay." Lu Tan happily went out in response, Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head to see that Ziyu was lying steadily on her dresser, and she couldn't help but look slightly condensed.

After a simple breakfast, Chu Xi also lay down, but her brain couldn't stop for a moment while lying on the bed.

Qin Xue should have had a conflict with the Bai family, otherwise she wouldn't have come back so weakly yesterday, as for the eldest prince, she would have waited to see Zheng Yun. The most important thing for her now is to find out who else killed her mother back then! As for Chu Zhenzhen, it is almost time for her to prepare and become Zhao Xunyan's bride.

It wasn't until almost noon that Chu Xi fell asleep in a daze, but after sleeping for less than an hour, someone from Ronghua Courtyard came, and it was no one else. It's snow.

Bai Xue glanced at Chu Xi, who was slightly tired, and said, "Eldest Miss didn't rest well yesterday?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Xi bowed her head slightly, and said with a smile: "Sister Bai Xue is better?" ”

Bai Xue listened to her words, her heart warmed slightly, and she smiled: "It's better, thank you for your concern." ”

Chu Xi asked her to bring tea and led her to sit down: "Grandmother asked my sister to come over, but what are your instructions?" ”

"Where do you dare to say the word command, the old lady asked the slave maid to come, she is here to tell you that you will be given in the palm of your hand from today onwards, including how to distribute the monthly silver of each courtyard, what are the regulations for spring and autumn clothes, you also have to worry about the food in the big kitchen, and then there is the account in the house" Bai Xue said for a long time, Chu Xi did not interrupt, and after she finished speaking, she smiled and said: "I just started." Nothing, not like this, I asked people to catch a few Yahuan yesterday and send them to the old lady's house, but I found out a lot of Yahuan mother-in-law with crooked thoughts, or I will take someone to ask my mother for advice at this time, and see how to deal with it, okay? ”

Bai Xue was a little stunned, thinking that Chu Xi was a new official who had three fires in office, and he had to kill the people first, so he smiled and said: "It's all up to the eldest lady to decide, but the old lady has always been kind to people, and if she didn't make a big mistake, the young lady just gave a verbal warning or two." ”

"Okay." Chu Xi hooked the corners of her mouth, called Chunzhi, Xiaofu'er and Lu Tan, and went directly to Qin Xue's Ruyi Garden with the booklet that Chun Zhi Lu Tan sorted out overnight.

Chu Zhenzhen has been lying on the bed and unable to move since she was hit by those ten boards, but Qin Xue has still received a lot of rewards in the past few years, including good medicine that can build muscles and bones. The recovery was quite fast, and when Chu Xi arrived at the door, she was already able to lean on the warm couch and talk to Qin Xue.

"Why are you here?" Qin Xue saw that Chu Xi was not angry, after all, the power of the middle feed was handed over to her by the old woman, and Qin Xue instantly made up a lot of provocative scenes in her brain.

Chu Xi stepped forward to greet the salute and said, "Sister's came here to ask my mother how to take charge of the feed, my grandmother said that I am about to get married, and I will not be fed, I am afraid that it will be a joke in the future." ”

"Oh? Is it? Qin Xue laughed: "Don't worry, your mother will teach you well." ”

"Then thank you mother." Chu Ji said.

Chu Zhenzhen snorted as she watched from the side: "Isn't the eldest sister always smart and still taught by others?" ”

Chu Ji ignored her sarcasm and glanced at Chunzhi, who stepped forward and took the booklet to Qin Xue.

"The second sister was framed before, and when I went back, I asked someone to check, who knew that something terrible was found, but I didn't know how to deal with it, and I asked my mother for guidance." Chu Xi said lightly.

"Why are you checking the maid ring in my yard!" Chu Zhenzhen looked at Chu Xi angrily, but Qin Xue held her down and looked at Chu Xi: "Something terrible." ”

Looking at Qin Xue, who was quite reasonable, Chu Xi glanced at Chunzhi, and Chunzhi spoke: "The slave maid found out that the people who followed the second lady have not changed, and they are all brought from the Dingguo Mansion when the eldest lady got married, but there are four of them, and there have been situations in the family that need to spend a lot of money to varying degrees, but they have all received a sum of silver but have not reported it to you. ”

As soon as Qin Xue heard this, she knew that these girls had been bought, but she still looked at Chu Xi suspiciously: "Why should I believe you?" ”

"My mother called someone over for a trial and found out if it was true." Chu Ji said, this was found out by the people who arranged Ruyi Fang by Lin Fu overnight, and it was impossible to make a mistake, but the mysterious person who secretly gave them money was inextricably linked with Chu Dai'er.

"Go, get me these four!" Qin Xue Road.

Someone in the house immediately went, but Bai Xue was a little frightened, she didn't expect Chu Xi to prepare so much, even the old lady might not be able to find out such a thing.

After a while, the four people were brought up, and Chu Zhenzhen's face suddenly darkened when she saw it.

One of the inferior mothers-in-law is in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, two third-class maid rings, usually taking care of their own clothes and jewelry, and there is also a second-class maid ring, Chu Zhenzhen originally wanted to promote her to be a first-class maid ring.

"You're the one who hurt me? Did you leak the poisoning of plum blossoms, and did you put the ruby hairpin in my makeup box? Chu Zhenzhen said angrily, she didn't know that there were so many white-eyed wolves hiding around her.

When the four men saw that they had been exposed, they only knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Qin Xue was also annoyed: "Still begging for mercy, do you have the face to beg for mercy?" I think I treat you well, but you dare to betray me and murder your master! ”

Chu Ji stood on the side and watched all this lightly, only sighing that Chu Dai'er and the long-term plan behind it had actually started to cultivate power in Chu Mansion several years ago, and if it took a little longer, Chu Mansion would be all in her hands.

"Say, by whom did you command?" Qin Xue asked, but felt that since these maids and daughters-in-law had been bought for so many years, except for Chu Bingsong, there was only the old lady, but how could the old lady want to harm her granddaughter who had always been biased?

Qin Xue couldn't figure it out, and stared coldly at the maid-in-law below.

The maid ring at the head knelt on the ground: "The slaves and maids know that it is impossible to escape death, but that person is kind to us, and the slaves and maids will not say anything even if they die." ”

Chu Zhenzhen was so angry that she wanted to jump up: "When you serve me, why don't you see you being so loyal to me?" ”

Chu Zhen lightly hooked the corners of her mouth, Chu Zhenzhen treated these subordinates like a mustard, but Chu Dai'er was different, she would not only buy people's hearts, but also be ruthless, under coercion and temptation, her people almost did not dare to betray, even if there were, she was the first to attack.

The four people didn't dare to speak, for fear of affecting their families, Chu Ji said, "What does my mother want to do?" ”

"And what else to do. Pull them all out and kill them! Chu Zhenzhen said angrily.

Chu Xi reminded: "There are already a lot of people dead in the mansion, mother, if you kill them again, I am afraid that it will affect the fortune of the Chu Mansion, and my father will not be able to say it." ”

Qin Xue's eyes flashed, and she glanced at Chu Xi: "You're right. She had just been scared by the Bai clan with Qin Fei, and now she really didn't want to add a few more lives in her hands. looked at the mother-in-law on the side: "Then send the four of them together with their families in the house to buy them, give them to Ya Po, and buy them all for me to such a bitter cold place." ”

Several people knelt on the ground in despair, but refused to say a word more.

Bai Xue looked at Chu Xi quietly, her face was slightly indifferent, and there was sympathy in her eyes, but after all, she didn't say a word more.

"Thanks to my mother's advice, I know what to do with the next person." Chu Xi said with a smile.

Qin Xue frowned: "What, there are others?" ”

Harueda flipped through the booklet: "The slaves and maids in the front yard have not been checked, and there are thirty-eight people in the backyard inside and out, including the laundry room and the kitchen account room. ”

"Thirty-eight!" Qin Xue couldn't help but shout. There are not many people waiting in the backyard, there are only about 200 people, and now 38 people have been found out, is there still anyone who has not been found out?

Chu Xi actually wanted to say that now the maid ring in Chu Dai'er's courtyard is almost all her people, plus the twenty or so people serving in her yard, nearly sixty people are her henchmen, and they are distributed in every place and corner of the backyard, including the maid ring of Ronghua Courtyard who pointed to Bai Xue that day and said that the scorpion crawled out from under her skirt.

"Hi'er, you're still young, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with these slaves, why don't you give me the list, and I'll help you deal with it." Qin Xue said, first, she wanted to take this opportunity to ask who was behind the scenes, in case it was the old lady or someone else. She can also take precautions, come, let her do it, and the thorns in her eyes can also be pulled out.

Chu Xi smiled: "Wouldn't that be troublesome to my mother?" ”

Bai Xue quietly tugged at Chu Xi's sleeve, Qin Xue glanced at it, got up and walked to Chu Xi: "I'm your mother, it's not troublesome to say anything, you have a feed in the palm of your hand, I should have taught you more." ”

"Then it's a trouble for Mother." Chu Xi smiled, and gave her all the booklets with her arms: "The list on this booklet is not correct, so I bother my mother to interrogate her more." ”

"Don't worry." Qin Xuewaner.

Chu Xi glanced at Chu Zhenzhen and said with a smile: "By the way, second sister, in a few days, the capital will hold a lantern festival, and many young ladies will rent a boat to see the lanterns and release the river lanterns. ”

Chu Zhenzhen snorted coldly and looked at her with a smile: "Big sister, don't pretend to be kind in front of me"

"I've heard that the King of Joy seems to be going too. Since you're not going, forget it. Chu Xi smiled faintly, and was about to leave with the people, but was stopped by Chu Zhenzhen: "Wait, you just said that King Xiaoyao will also pass?" ”

"Well, Yi'er said, saying that the King of Freedom and the Great Prince will swim on the lake together."

"Got it, I'll think about it again." Chu Zhenzhen, as before, raised her chin arrogantly and said coldly.

Chu Ji smiled, turned his head and left.

Out of Ruyi Garden, Bai Xue looked at Chu Xi worriedly: "Miss, why did you give the list to the eldest lady?" ”

"What's wrong?" Chu Xi looked at her as if puzzled.

"Hey, the eldest lady doesn't know, the eldest lady is ruthless, this time it will definitely involve a lot of people according to your list, and it will be bad to turn around and put the blame on you." Bai Xue said worriedly.

"So, what can I do about this?" Chunzhi hurriedly said: "Why don't you go and get the booklet back?" ”

Bai Xue frowned: "That's it, I'll go to the old lady's place." Even if something happens at that time, the eldest lady will still have a foil. ”

"Then thank you Sister Bai Xue." Chu Ji said.

Bai Xue smiled and shook her head: "It's cold outside, and the slave maid is also very tired when she looks at the eldest lady, hurry up and go back to rest first, and the slave and maid will go back when they go." With that, he left in a hurry.

Chu Xi watched Bai Xue leave, and felt a little relieved: "Green sandalwood, are you ready?" ”

Lu Tan smiled: "Don't worry, the slave promises to let the eldest lady spend an unforgettable night." With that, he quietly walked along the courtyard wall of Ruyi Garden to the secluded grove behind it.

After Lu Tan left, Chu Xi looked at Chunzhi: "Trouble Sister Chunzhi to help Xiao Fu'er." "Qin Xue wants to do it, she will definitely take the opportunity to pull out the powerful girl ring around her, Chunzhi is not afraid, since her parents died early, she is the only one left, and she has been raised by the old lady's side, and the green buds and green sandalwood are similar to the situation of Chunzhi, no family is burdened and no money is tired, only Xiao Fu'er, Lao Zi Niang are in the house, Qin Xue will definitely start from Xiao Fu'er, and then buckle the big hat on her head.

Chunzhi nodded, glanced at Chu Xi adoringly, and hurried to the big kitchen.

In Ruyi Garden, Chu Zhenzhen looked at Qin Xue who was looking at the list: "Mother, what do you think you do, if you really punish these maids and wives in the future, won't you become a big villain in this backyard?" Wouldn't it be better to let Chu Ji do this by herself? ”

Qin Xue nodded her head: "Look at you, you know how to think about your own little things all day long, and you don't have a brain at all." ”

"Mother" Chu Zhenzhen snuggled coquettishly in her arms: "It's not because Chu Zhen has been bad for me, that's why I"

"I know." Qin Xue looked at her with a smile: "Now that my mother is helping you find a way?" ”

"Mother means to use this matter to investigate"

Qin Xue smiled: "It's not just an investigation, since Chu Xi handed over this right to me, I want her to know what is the way to govern the family!" ”
