Chapter 67: The Spear of the Son
For the sudden arrival of Old Madam Chu, Bai's face was embarrassed, although she had the means, but in front of Old Madam Chu, she always felt that her aura was insufficient.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Chu"
"I should say that." The old lady directly crossed the Bai family, sat on the first seat and beckoned to Chu Xi: "Xi'er, come here." ”
Chu Xi stepped forward and stood beside the old lady in a few steps, and Bai also turned around, faintly angry: "The old lady has specially rushed to the mountain to see me and Fei'er, so naturally I should come to see my granddaughter."
"Zhen Zhen is in the West Wing, if you want to see it, go now." The old lady said.
"You ----!" Bai Shi's face became more and more unsightly because of this robbery, and he simply lowered his hand in front of him: "Don't think I don't know what happened in that small cabin, old lady, this is a temple, the Bodhisattva's eyes are open, and the report from the present world is really fast." ”
The old lady endured the anger in her heart, looked at the arrogant appearance of the Bai family, and said: "You better think about yourself, there are many sons under the knee of Dingguo Gong, although they are all cockfighting lackeys, but none of them crawled out of your stomach, and when Dingguo Gong leaves, do you think you can continue to be your mighty Duchess of Guo?" ”
Bai gritted her teeth, this is also a sore spot in her heart, she has followed Dingguo Gong for so many years, she wants to give birth to a son, but since she gave birth to Qin Fei, there is no sign of pregnancy.
"Don't bother the old lady." Seeing that he couldn't ask anything today, Bai Shi said lightly, glanced at Chu Xi, who was standing beside the old lady with his head down, and turned around and left with a cold expression.
When she was gone, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, but she was tired and didn't know what to say.
"He'er, did you really go in with the Jiao family and the Yun family's son last night?" The old lady suddenly asked.
Chu Xi looked at her strong spirits, and bowed slightly: "I don't know how they could have arrived at Merlin so coincidentally." ”
The old lady seemed to be deflated, and waved her hand: "That's it, you will rot in your stomach from now on, understand?" ”
Chu Xi nodded, and the old lady sighed heavily: "Zhen Zhen, this kid is too reckless. ”
Is it just a sentence of 'recklessness', Chu Xi laughed in her heart, the old lady clearly knew that she was going to use this method to harm herself, but now she just said 'reckless', this is really her good grandmother.
Just when the old lady wanted to talk about the Eighth Prince, Bai Xue suddenly walked in from outside with a nervous expression: "Old lady, the second lady has hanged herself." ”
"What!" The old lady was so angry that she was dizzy again, and her voice became weak: "What about the people, have you saved them?" ”
Bai Xue bowed: "I saved it, the slave and maid let people stop the Duchess of Dingguo, now I'm afraid I have to ask you to go over." ”
The old lady hates that iron is not steel, and now she has committed suicide, isn't she just admitting to others about the cabin, this idiot! Idiot!
The old lady's hands trembled with anger, and she glanced at Chu Xi, who was standing on the side with a calm expression. Her face tightened: "The big girl is a good girl, don't be like your second sister." ”
The old lady meant something, Chu Xi naturally understood, and curtsied: "Ji Er understands." ”
Seeing that Chu Xi no longer concealed her intelligence, the old lady's sense of uncontrollability over her became more and more obvious, but she was now very obedient.
The old lady looked at her with complicated eyes, and then left in a hurry.
Chu Xi raised her head, looking at the old lady who seemed to be several years old in a hurry, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, this good show has just started, you have to hold on, otherwise how can you understand the pain of cutting flesh with a blunt knife in your previous life.
Lu Tan came in from outside and nodded towards Chu Xi. Chu Xi was a little surprised, and led her into the inner room, and when she got to the inner room, Lu Tan poured a cup of tea: "It's too cruel, where is it to force people to commit suicide." It's clearly to forcibly hang the warbler on the white cloth. ”
Chu Xi's expression was faint: "And then." ”
"And then?" Lu Tan smiled hehehe: "They left after hanging the people, I went in to get the people down, and there was still a breath." I told her what I was going to do, and then sealed her hole, and then overturned the flower stand not far away, and then the people outside came in and saw the person who fell to the ground, and they were all startled, and they came forward to sniff, and thought she was dead. So they thought that Ying'er was struggling to fall down before she died, and then took a roll of straw mats and threw people into the back mountain, and finally I untied her hole and let her go. ”
Chu Xi bowed slightly, and Lu Tan sighed: "Miss, you said that Ying'er is such a bad girl, why don't you let her die, what are you doing with this kindness." ”
Chu Xi lightly hooked the corners of her mouth: "The spear of the son." Attacker's shield, do you say that the spear is broken or the shield is broken? ”
"I don't know." Green Sandalwood shook his head innocently.
Chu Xi looked at her with a smile: "Whether it's a spear or a shield, as long as it's not me who is damaged, it's fine." ”
Lu Tan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chu Xi with admiration: "It's amazing." ”
Chu Xi shook her head slightly: "It's just taking advantage of people's hearts, if Chu Zhenzhen is better to Ying'er, if Ying'er is kinder, the situation I said will not happen, and wait." Chu Xi lowered her head and frowned slightly when she saw the bracelet on her wrist. He seems to be in a hurry during this time, could it be that something happened to the Anping Marquis Mansion or the Eighth Prince's Mansion? However, the Marquis of Anping Mansion has never asked about court affairs, and the Marquis of Anping and his wife are extremely light and chic people, so they should be fine, as for the Eight Emperors' Mansion, if there is something, Zhao Xuanyi will not stay in this Hanshan Temple all day, so what else can happen?
Chu Xi couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, and in a blink of an eye, she heard the news brought by Green Sprouts: "Miss, there's a commotion in the West Wing." ”
"What a way to make a fuss." Midori asked, turning his head.
Lu Ya put down the pastries in his hand, sat down next to the warm couch, and said with a mysterious smile: "The second lady bit the Duchess of the country." ”
Chu Zhen tilted her head slightly with interest, and here in the West Wing, Bai Shi looked at the hand that left deep tooth marks, and wanted to kill Chu Zhenzhen: "You are a beautiful lady, how can you bite someone!" ”
Chu Zhenzhen was also annoyed: "Grandmother specially came here to force Zhen Zhen to death, what can Zhen Zhen do!" Chu Zhenzhen was pitiful, glanced at the old lady Chu on the side, after knowing that Ying'er had become a substitute for the dead, she was at ease, and she was worried about committing suicide before, but she was afraid of the old lady's blame, so she simply came to the bitter trick.
Seeing her like this, the Bai family couldn't pick on the thorns: "You have done such a shitty thing, and now you are dead, it will also be the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
"My grandmother made it clear, how could I do a shitty thing." Chu Zhenzhen sat on the bed half-propped up. stared at the Bai family with red eyes: "If my grandmother can't say anything clear and can't come up with evidence today, then I will go to King Xiaoyao to ask for justice." ”
"Don't use King Xiaoyao to press me, and when I find out who did that with you, you won't be able to act." Bai's-for-tat.
Old Madam Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of what happened here, she said directly to Bai Xue: "Help me to find the Duke of Dingguo, I want to ask, why is this family fighting so embarrassed, the matter here spreads, it depends on the face of my Chu family, or the face of the Duke of Dingguo!" Old Madam Chu said that she was about to go outside.
Bai gritted his teeth, Dingguo Gong's brain was confused, and his ears were extremely soft, so let Old Madam Chu go over and say that it was herself who suffered.
"Old lady, isn't this also for the sake of the Chu Mansion?" Bai quickly changed his face.
The old lady snorted: "Then please ask the Duchess to stop spreading rumors, otherwise my wife will not be good and give up!" ”
Bai Shi listened to the threat of Old Madam Chu openly and secretly, and gritted his teeth: "Old Madam, I am also the Duchess of the Kingdom anyway, you are just the mother of the prime minister, is this the attitude you should have when talking to me?" ”
Old Madam Chu laughed angrily at her words: "In this case, then I will go to the old family of Dingguo Gong to ask what kind of attitude I should have when talking to the Duchess of Guo who wants to slander my Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Bai Shi stared at the old lady fiercely, then at Chu Zhenzhen, who seemed to be still laughing, turned his head and left with someone.
When the Bai family really came out of the courtyard, Old Lady Chu sat on the chair weakly.
Chu Zhenzhen didn't dare to speak, and wanted to lie down quietly, but she heard the old lady shout: "Don't kneel down for me yet!" ”
"Grandmother"
"Don't quibble with me!" The old lady looked at Chu Zhenzhen, glanced at the marks on her neck, and just wanted to slap her twice: "You are so shameless, you should have let you commit suicide a long time ago to apologize!" ”
Chu Zhenzhen knew that the old lady was really angry, and she didn't wear any outer clothes, so she knelt in front of the old lady barefoot with only her underwear: "It's Zhen Zhen's fault, it's okay for my grandmother to beat me and scold me, if my grandmother thinks that only Zhen Zhen can apologize if she dies, Zhen Zhen is willing"
"Alright." The old lady glanced at her coldly: "If I wanted you to die, you wouldn't have lived until now." After a pause, he saw her pale little face, and said, "When you go back this time, you are not allowed to say anything about this, only that your maid has fornicated with someone and has been killed, do you know?" ”
"Zhen Zhen knows." Chu Zhenzhen hurriedly said, and then looked at the old lady hesitantly: "But those two" She knew who insulted her, it was Jiao Simiao and Yunkang, the two brutes.
The old lady's face was dark: "They have already gone down the mountain early this morning, and as soon as our news is released, they shouldn't talk nonsense, but these two people" The old lady sighed heavily: "Don't do anything to Chu Xi in the future, do you hear?" ”
Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth: "Grandmother, this matter is Chu Zhen"
"Don't think I'm foolish." Old Madam Chu stood up: "Go back and tell your mother that you are not allowed to fight Chu Xi's idea again, otherwise, you will bear the consequences." "Which of the small actions they made on Chu Ji succeeded? It's not all returned to him exponentially, but I don't know if Chu Xi knows about her mother's death, if she does
The old lady didn't dare to think about it anymore, and glanced at Chu Zhenzhen: "Tomorrow, I will let Chuncao come to serve you, and now you will let me stay on the mountain to eat and pray for the Buddha, and I am not allowed to go out of the yard for half a step!" ”
"Grandmother"
The old lady was too lazy to pay attention to Chu Zhenzhen, walked out in a step, and carefully instructed the mother-in-law outside not to allow Chu Zhenzhen to take another step out of the courtyard, and eat fasting and chanting Buddha in her own room.
Hearing the old lady's instructions outside, Chu Zhenzhen only gritted her teeth with hatred, but when she thought of Chu Zhen's humiliation last night, her eyes turned red with hatred. But he didn't think about what would happen if this happened to Chu Xi.
Hearing the old lady's punishment, Chu Xi didn't think much about it, and only let Lu Tan go outside to stare at it, but he didn't see King Xiaoyao go up the mountain all day.
The old lady knelt directly in the Buddhist hall for a night at night, and the Bai family took Qin Fei down the mountain.
When Qin Xue heard the news from the Dingguo Mansion in the mansion, her face sank: "My father is seriously ill and wants me to serve at the bedside?" ”
The person who came bowed his head: "If the lady is unwilling to go, the little one will go back to the grandfather of the country." ”
"Wait." Qin Xue stopped people, if the Duke of Dingguo really fell ill, it would be okay, as soon as he died, his useless brother could inherit the title, although he only knew cockfighting and lackeys all day long, but fortunately, it was not the seed in the belly of the Bai family, and he would definitely be towards himself, and he was not afraid that the Dingguo Mansion would not listen to him when the time came.
Thinking like this, Qin Xue's expression relaxed a lot: "You go outside and wait for me, and I'll come later." ”
"Yes."
See the little guy leave. Qin Xue immediately asked people to pack up the clothes that accompanied them, and after telling Chu Bingsong, they got into the carriage back to the Dingguo Mansion.
Qin Xue planned well all the way, but when she arrived at the Dingguo Mansion, she realized that she had been calculated, but it was too late.
The Bai family had just returned home, Qin Fei hadn't woken up yet, and now she saw that Qin Xue was only eager to eat her: "You look quite happy, are you happy to know that you will have two sons-in-law?" ”
Qin Xue frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Seeing that he had the upper hand, the Bai clan looked at Qin Xue with disdain: "You will know when the time comes, I am here now to congratulate Mrs. Chu on her good son-in-law." With that, he walked in with a large group of people.
Qin Xue was confused, but thinking that as long as Dingguo Gong died, she would no longer have to see the thorn in Bai's eye, so she turned her head and went to the Dingguo Mansion, but the person guarding the door stopped her.
"It turned out that the eldest lady had returned home." The mother-in-law, who had been guarding the door for a long time, smiled.
Qin Xue looked at her coldly: "Get out of the way, I want to see my father." ”
The mother-in-law looked at her with a smile: "Don't worry, the eldest lady is in a hurry, the master has ordered, he is resting now, no one is allowed to disturb, if you come." He waited at the door first, and when he woke up, he could go in and rest immediately. ”
"Is this really what my father said?" Qin Xue looked at her in disbelief, she was also the prime minister's wife, and her father would not embarrass herself so much even if he saw it in front of the prime minister's mansion.
The mother-in-law chuckled: "The slave is just a subordinate, how dare she do things that deceive her superiors and subordinates." The eldest lady is waiting here, and when the master wakes up, the slave will come and call you. With that, he turned his head and entered the room, ignoring Qin Xue at all.
Qin Xue gritted her teeth in anger, as if Shangxue'er stopped today, but the north wind howled, drilling straight into people's necks, and the stove she was holding in her hand began to slowly become colder.
"Madam, why don't we go back first." The mother-in-law on the side persuaded.
Qin Xue understood what was going on by now, and smiled coldly: "The Bai clan wants to use this trick against me, so I'll let her take a good look at what the consequences of dealing with me like this are." ”
Qin Xue waited until it was almost dawn. Qin Hao was really surprised when he found out, and hurriedly asked Qin Xue to come in.
When Qin Xue was moving, her legs had long been unconscious, and her mother-in-law had to cover her for a long time before she could barely move into the house.
When Qin Xue entered the house, the first thing she asked was Qin Hao's physical condition: "Is my father in better health?" ”
When Qin Hao heard this, he was quite moved in his heart, Qin Xue, who was usually pampered, had now stood in the cold wind all night, and the first thing he said when he came in was not to complain and be angry, but to care about himself, which was something that could not be done by changing to the Bai family.
"Father's health is much better, Xue'er, I didn't know that my mother-in-law let you stand outside all night." Qin Hao said.
Qin Xue's frozen blue face hadn't returned to the house yet, but her eyes were already full of tears: "As long as the father is fine, it doesn't matter if the daughter stands for two more days." ”
Looking at Qin Xue, who was so filial, Qin Hao's heart was very comfortable, and he saw Qin Xue say again: "I brought two Ganoderma lucidum that the emperor once rewarded from home, and my father will see if it may be used for medicine?" ”
The most important thing for Qin Hao is money, so naturally he doesn't care about such things, but the Chu Mansion is already so poor that he can't even take out fifteen thousand taels, and now she has sent such a valuable thing over, which shows her sincerity. Qin Hao's heart felt a little more comfortable: "You are also tired, go and rest first, my illness is no longer serious." ”
Seeing Qin Hao like this, Qin Xue knew that his bitter plan was successful, but he still had to prevent the Bai family from being clever and tongue-in-cheek, Qin Xue got up and knelt in front of Qin Hao, and put his posture to the lowest: "Father, I just had some disputes with my mother at the door, and I asked my father to punish him." ”
Qin Hao was slightly stunned, and hurriedly got up to help her up: "How can there be a dispute?" ”
"Mother, she" Qin Xue choked slightly: "Mother said that my eldest brother and I are undisciplined, and my eldest brother is undisciplined all day long, and I am the water spilled by my married daughter, and I deserve to be disliked by my father." She also said that when she gave birth to a son in the future, the position of the son in this life would also be hers. ”
Qin Xue is already a mother, and she is not young anymore, but now this crying makes Qin Hao feel guilty: "Her Bai family has long been unable to give birth to things, where can she still give birth to a son, and she is young and orderly, where can the position of the son of this world be changed." Qin Hao swore an oath, but Qin Xue knew that if the Bai family gave birth to a son, the position of the son of this world would have been taken away by the Bai family long ago.
"Father, don't blame her, she doesn't understand the rules of this hairpin family." Qin Xue Road.
Qin Hao frowned, remembering the Bai family's humble background, his face sank a little: "If it weren't for her rhetoric, I wouldn't have helped her to be a wife, blame me for being confused." ”
"Father is too kind-hearted, how can I blame you." Qin Xue's complexion recovered a little. She has always been dignified and steady in front of outsiders, but now she is crying like a little daughter, coupled with the filial piety and low posture she just showed, it made Qin Hao's heart feel a hundred comfortable.
"Hey, don't worry, only you and your eldest brother are my children in this house, and no one can bear you." Qin Hao suddenly remembered the matter of the waist card again, and looked at Qin Xue suspiciously: "Xue'er, how many days can you take your waist card with you?" ”
Qin Xue didn't know why Qin Hao asked this, shook her head and said, "The jade card has been lost for several days, and I haven't found it, I don't know if the subordinate stole it." ”
Qin Hao nodded clearly, didn't say more, and only told Qin Xue to go down and rest.
When Qin Xue knew that the jade plate had fallen on the assassination scene of Hanshan Temple, he was frightened into a cold sweat.
"Madam, who do you say is secretly doing this?" The mother-in-law asked.
Qin Xue snorted coldly as she walked back: "Who else can there be, either there is an inner ghost around me who stole my jade plate and gave it to the Bai clan." Let her direct and act in a play so that my father can completely drive me out of the Dingguo Mansion. Qin Xue thought of the confused Dingguo Gong, and smiled sarcastically: "If it wasn't for Bai's self-directed and self-acting, it would be those who went to assassinate me and deliberately splashed dirty water on me, wanting me to carry this pot"
"You mean the old lady"
"Hmph, there are only the two of them left and right, otherwise who in this mansion can get my jade card, Chu Xi? No way, she never went into my yard at all, and she couldn't have the ability to arrange for someone to be around me. Qin Xue said, looked back at the huge Dingguo Mansion, and her eyes were full of ruthlessness: "Go and write to the prince, just say that tomorrow, I will ask him to talk about Jinghua Building." ”
"The matter of the second young lady" The mother-in-law hesitated and didn't dare to say, Qin Xue had a dark face: "After going to Jinghua Tower tomorrow, I will go up the mountain again." ”
"Yes." The mother-in-law didn't dare to say more, and quietly glanced at Qin Xue's dark face. Hurriedly turned his head and left.
When Bai heard about Qin Xue's matter, he was so angry that he smashed the agate beads he was playing with: "She wants to do something to me!" ”
"Madame, what then? Now that the second lady hasn't woken up yet, the master has begun to treat her well again, which is very bad for us. Bai's henchman said.
Bai Shi paced back and forth in the room, looked at Qin Fei, who was still unconscious, and gritted his teeth: "I will never let them have a good time!" ”
After waiting all night and not waiting for the news that King Xiaoyao had gone up the mountain, Chu Xi only had some suspicions, could it be that something happened under the mountain. She was about to send someone to the bottom of the mountain to inquire, and someone came from the bottom of the mountain to bring her news.
Yun Songyi came in almost at a trot, and after coming in, he looked Chu Xi up and down, and was relieved to see that she was okay.
"I've heard about your sister." Yun Songyi took off the cloak on his body, took the hand warmer stove handed over by Lu Ya, and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "The girl next to you is really clever, it would be nice if I had such a thing by my side." ”
Chu Xi smiled but didn't answer, Yun Songyi didn't bother with this question anymore, and sat next to Chu Xi on the warm couch. A pair of round eyes blinked: "I heard that the Eighth Prince also came to this mountain?" ”
Chu Xi smiled faintly: "If you went up the mountain with Dingguo Gong, you may be going down the mountain today." ”
"It's a step too late." Yun Songyi sighed, asked Yahuan to put out all the pastries she brought, beckoned Green Sprouts and Green Sandalwood to come over to eat snacks, and she also bit the pastries with great interest, and only said after drinking tea and swallowing it: "I came in a hurry today, and I didn't have breakfast, but fortunately, I brought this box of snacks." After speaking, he said: "Have you heard that something happened to the Xiaoyao Palace." ”
"What's wrong?" Chu Ji said.
Yun Songyi narrowed his eyes: "I heard that I offended the people in the rivers and lakes, but it was calculated, which led to the bottom of King Xiaoyao's industries in the Jiangnan area." The emperor was furious and directly sent troops to exterminate the Wuji Pavilion, but those soldiers burned the headquarters of the Wuji Pavilion, and the backyard of the Xiaoyao Mansion was on fire the next day, so the Xiaoyao King did not dare to leave the palace these days. ”
Yun Songyi said a few words lightly, but Chu Xi could already imagine the anger of the Easy King and the helplessness of racking his brains in the end. What is this Infinite Pavilion so sacred? In his previous life, the King of Freedom had also planned to win over this Jianghu organization, but failed.
"I also heard my grandfather say that King Xiaoyao's industry in Jiangnan this time was passive, as if his vitality was seriously injured, and he was directly sick, and the imperial doctors said that he was depressed, and my grandfather laughed at him for being too entangled in this money, no wonder it couldn't be a big deal." Yun Songyi said with a smile.
Chu Xi smiled lightly, if King Xiaoyao didn't show a lot of money, so that others thought that he couldn't achieve a big thing, how could the eldest prince completely let down his guard and believe that this King Xiaoyao was wholeheartedly helping him win the country.
"Lord Yan can say, how is Wuji Pavilion now?" Chu Xi asked.
Yun Songyi frowned slightly: "The headquarters of Wuji Pavilion has been wiped out, what else can I do." ”
"Have you ever said how many people were exterminated and how much property was seized?"
Yun Songyi pursed her lips and approached Chu Xi as if she was probing: "What are you asking for, is it possible that you like King Xiaoyao?" ”
Chu Xi glanced at her lightly: "Why don't you say that I like Wuji Pavilion?" ”
Yun Songyi raised his eyebrows: "Okay." The imperial court claimed to have exterminated one hundred and five people, but according to my grandfather, not a single one was caught, and there were some possessions, but it was nothing, it seemed that the Wuji Pavilion abandoned the nest and fled. ”
Chu Ji smiled, this Wuji Pavilion is powerful. Although the imperial court knew that all the Wuji Pavilion had slipped away, but he still wanted to report that more than 100 people had been exterminated, and he thought that as long as the Wuji Pavilion no longer moved, the imperial court would not do it again, after all, the rivers and lakes were so big, and the imperial court would not go all out to oppose all the people in the rivers and lakes.
"By the way, there's one more thing." Yun Songyi bit her lip: "It's Lin Shizi, who was swimming in the lake that day, it seems that when he was saving us, he was poisoned, and I heard that he was disfigured, and now he is hiding at home and not going out at all." Frightened, Marquis Anping and his wife, who were wandering outside, hurried back. ”
"Disfigured" Chu Xi frowned slightly, she hadn't seen his face for so long, and he was wearing a mask after that day.
"How good do you say this, if a good-looking person like him is really disfigured, I'm afraid he won't want to come out in this life. And he was injured to save us, if he can't marry a daughter-in-law because of this, will we be able to make a promise? Yun Songyi said seriously.
Chu Ximei's heart skipped a beat: "You came up the mountain mainly to talk about this." ”
Yun Songyi nodded embarrassedly: "Although I like good-looking, I can't repay the grace of saving my life." ”
Chu Xi admired her righteousness, Chu Xi's heart sank a little, is it really that serious, he was still joking with himself on the edge of the cliff that day, why did he suddenly close the door?
Yun Songyi said again, and seeing that Chu Xi didn't react, she waved her hand in front of her for a long time: "Sister Xi'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Chu Xi grabbed her hand: "It's fine." ”
Yun Songyi looked back at the green buds and green sandalwood who were also unaware, and sighed again: "I heard that the Marquis of Anping originally planned to go to Liu Yushi's house to propose marriage, but now it's okay, and the relatives can't be proposed." ”
Chu Xi frowned, Yun Songyi said it and said no more: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, my mother is also on the mountain, do you want to go and see it?" ”
"Naturally, I'm going to see you." Chu Xi said with a smile.
Yun Songyi smiled: "Let's go, she is incense in the Buddha hall, I remember you, so I came first." ”
"You're holding back your stomach and no one is talking." Chu Xi smiled.
Yun Songyi stuck out his tongue: "I know you know best." With that, he pulled Chu Xi and ran out.
Chu Zhenzhen looked at the lively Yun Songyi and Chu Xi at the door, her eyes were red with anger, and she was stopped by Chuncao when she took a step forward: "Second Miss, you better go back and copy the Buddhist scriptures." ”
Chuncao is the girl next to the old lady, Chu Zhenzhen naturally didn't dare to do anything with her, she bit her silver teeth, turned her head and went back.
Along the way, Yun Songyi was talking about what had happened recently. Yun Shangshu Mansion is already going to send someone to Yan Mansion to take her back, Yun Songyi is now almost fourteen, Yun Mansion should be planning to send her to the Great Prince's Mansion.
The Yan Mansion did not object to this, because Lord Yan was planning to support the eldest prince, and Yun Songyi was extremely frustrated about this.
"If you can go back, remember to make trouble." Chu Xi said lightly.
"Trouble?" Yun Songyi was puzzled.
"Yes, make trouble with the old lady, trouble with Yun Songyue, trouble with my aunt, trouble with Yun Shangshu, and it's best to make trouble with Yan Mansion." Chu Ji said: "The women around the eldest prince are either gentle, obedient and beautiful, or they are powerful in the family, and he will not want a useless woman." However, if you really make a fuss and make a fuss out of control, the consequences will be difficult to say, but this is the only way you don't have to marry into the Great Prince's Mansion. ”
Yun Songyi reacted: "You mean that my own father wants to strangle me?" ”
Chu Xi smiled: "You can grasp it yourself, I don't know about Lord Yun, but I know that the eldest prince doesn't like to enter an unfavored and noisy woman in the inner house, but if you do this, if you want to marry a good family in the future, it depends on your mother and grandfather, and you have to pay attention to the Yan Mansion." ”
"I know, no matter how stubborn I am, my grandfather will forgive me, but he will always be very serious, so I just need to make a little trouble, anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, my grandfather must have annoyed me." Yun Songyi said with a grin.
Chu Xi looked at her with some envy, how good it was to have relatives who believed in her so much.
After a short time, several people arrived at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and Yun Songyi's mother, Mrs. Yun, also happened to insert incense into the incense burner.
Chu Xi looked at her, a slightly plump but soft-looking woman, with clear eyebrows and eyes, dressed in a bellflower-colored wide-sleeved gown, with only a few hairpins on her head, and her lips were always smiling.
Chu Ji knew that she had grown up pampered when she saw her, but the family style of the Yan Mansion was extremely positive, otherwise Mrs. Yun would not have been allowed to reconcile with Yun Shangshu and take her daughter home to live. She should have lived very well at home over the years, this is really blessed, if Yun Songyi can marry a real lover, then she will really be favored by God in this life.
"This is the eldest lady of the Chu family." Madame Yun laughed softly.
Chu Xi felt gentle when she looked at her, stepped forward and curtsied, Mrs. Yun helped her up with a smile, and looked her up and down, only to see that she was wearing a light purple dress, with clear eyebrows, a straight back, and a faint standing is noble.
"It's really a rarity, no wonder Yi'er is telling me all day long how the eldest lady of the Chu family is doing." Madame Yun laughed softly.
Yun Songyi raised her head proudly: "That's right, Sister Ji'er is smart, the smartest woman I've ever seen." ”
Chu Xi smiled lightly, and Mrs. Yun stepped forward and pulled Chu Xi and Yun Songyi: "Go, follow me, I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't remember what the scenery here is." ”
Chu Xi felt the temperature of her palm, her heart was slightly warm, and she followed her away.
Along the way, she didn't care to look at the scenery, just thinking about whether the palms of her hands would be so warm if her biological mother was still there, and whether her eyes would be so loving and gentle.
After walking for a while, Mrs. Yun stopped, and stopped Chu Xi and Yun Songyi behind her: "The courtiers have seen the prince. ”
"Hmm." Zhao Xunyan looked at the light purple figure standing behind Mrs. Yun, her indifferent eyes narrowed slightly, she was always following the people of Wuji Pavilion by her side, so did she have something to do with the elusive Wuji Pavilion Master?
Chu Xi could feel the burning gaze staring at her, and her brows furrowed almost invisibly. was keenly discovered by Zhao Xunyan.
Zhao Xunyan looked at her and his gaze became more and more aggressive, but the corners of his mouth slowly pulled up.
Yun Songyi felt that his feet were a little numb, and when he looked up, he just wanted to speak, but he crashed into Zhao Xunyan's deep eyes like a pool of water, those eyes were cold, but they were not as cold as the Eighth Prince, his was cold to the bone, as if there was something heavy hidden under these eyes.
Zhao Xunyan only glanced at Yun Songyi lightly, and left with a step.
Mrs. Yun slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm afraid that this King of Freedom will have to stay on the mountain for a few days, Miss Chu, you don't have a parent by your side, you must not come out again in the next few days." ”
Listening to Mrs. Yun's advice, Chu Xi bowed slightly, turned her head to look at Yun Songyi, who suddenly became quiet, looking at her crimson face and Ying Ying's eyes, Chu Xi was surprised, King Xiaoyao is a more dangerous person than the eldest prince.
"Will Madame stay in the mountains?" Chu Ji turned his head and asked.
Mrs. Yun looked at Chu Xi worriedly: "Are you afraid, if that's the case, then it's okay for me to stay for a few days, and it's okay to go back left and right." ”
Looking at the kind-hearted Mrs. Yun, Chu Ji chuckled: "No"
Before Chu Ji finished speaking, he listened to Yun Songyi say: "Then let's stay for a few days, and go back to listen to the eldest aunt talk about the things in her house, but it is not as clean as this Hanshan Temple, and I can accompany Sister Xi'er more." ”
Mrs. Yun didn't notice Yun Songyi's abnormality, nodded and smiled: "It's okay." ”
Chu Xi was dumbfounded, looking at the excited Yun Songyi, but she only hoped that she was just coveting the beauty of the King of Ease, just like liking the Eighth Prince, and she could forget it in a blink of an eye.
After taking a turn in Hanshan Temple, Yun Songyi was always a little absent-minded.
"Yi'er, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about returning to Yunfu? Madame Yun also sensed that something was wrong with her.
Yun Songyi came back to his senses and nodded slightly, and Mrs. Yun sighed: "There is no way to do this, after all, you are his daughter." Mrs. Yun took her in her arms and comforted her softly, after Chu Xi sent them to the wing, she didn't bother much, said goodbye and left, on the way back, Chu Xi was still thinking about the matter of the Wuji Pavilion, if the Wuji Pavilion was so powerful, it would not only be the Xiaoyao King, but also the Eighth Prince, the Great Prince and other forces in the imperial court would definitely start to stare at it, and now it is an excellent idea for it to come out of the shell of the golden cicada, but the Xiaoyao King will definitely not be so good. I am very similar to him, that is, there is revenge!
Walking and walking, the green sprouts suddenly exhaled softly, Chu Xi's heart tightened, and she raised her eyes to look at the person standing in the middle of the road coldly, her palms were slightly tight, and the killing intent in her heart was churning.
"The slave has seen the King of Pleasure." Green Shoots was the first to react.
Chu Xi lowered her head and curtsied, but Zhao Xunyan caught the hatred that flashed in her eyes. Strange in my heart. She has never had a grudge against herself, how can she repeatedly see hatred in her eyes?
"Won't follow Mrs. Yun anymore?" Zhao Xunyan stepped forward.
Green Sprout hurriedly lowered his head, didn't they all say that King Xiaoyao was the most gentle and close to people, how could he see that he was carved out of the same mold as the Eighth Emperor now.
Chu Xi never looked up at him: "Mrs. Yun rested in the wing. ”
Zhao Xunyan smiled sarcastically: "Raise your head." She was clearly bold, but now she didn't dare to look up at herself, for fear that she would find something.
Chu Xi slowly calmed the emotions in her heart, and when she raised her head, her eyes were already clear.
Seeing this, Zhao Xunyan became more interested: "You are really getting more and more interesting." ”
Chu Xi's fingers hanging down his side clenched tightly, and he looked at him calmly: "I wonder if the courtiers can go back?" ”
Zhao Xunyan looked at her and chuckled: "Are you afraid of me?" Or hate me? ”
"The courtiers have no grievances with the prince, why should they resent the prince." Chu Xi's expression remained the same.
The corners of Zhao Xunyan's mouth raised slightly, and he took two steps forward, getting closer to Chu Xi, Chu Xi was about to retreat in disgust, but was directly dragged by Zhao Xunyan in his arms, Green Sprout was frightened, and he was busy looking around to see if there was anyone else.
Lu Tan was already ready to make a move, but was stopped by Chu Xi's eyes: "I didn't expect that everyone praised the chic and elegant King of Freedom as such a frivolous person." ”
"Frivolous?" Zhao Xunyan's hand did not mean to let go, but tightened it a little: "The Prime Minister of the left and right wants to send a daughter to my house, why don't you come?" ”
Chu Xi didn't struggle, and chuckled: "I just heard from Mrs. Yun that King Xiaoyao will come to the mountain every year to worship his deceased mother, and he is very filial. If the prince wants to marry me, he is ready to go to Chu Mansion to propose marriage, so why bother being frivolous with me here? ”
Zhao Xunyan listened to her words, raised his hand and pushed her out: "Do you think this king will not dare." ”
"Chu Ji is waiting for the prince." Chu Xi stabilized her figure, and after saluting, she stepped away. Zhao Xunyan is no better than the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince is indifferent but has the natural pride of the royal people, he disdains to use more despicable means against himself, but King Xiaoyao is different, in order to achieve the goal, he will do anything. However, at present, he will not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage, and he will not want to be exposed so soon.
Chu Xi left in a hurry, and Zhao Xunyan stood behind and looked at it coldly, with a little murderous aura in his eyes: "Someone." ”
"Lord Wang."
Zhao Xunyan glanced at Chu Xi's back: "Find out what happened in Hanshan Temple in the past few days, if there is any trace of her participation, report it immediately." After speaking, he called the person who went to investigate: "Tonight, I will find a way to transfer the people who are guarding the Wuji Pavilion beside her." ”
The attendant was stunned for a moment: "The people of Wuji Pavilion are still there?" ”
There was a hint of gloom in Zhao Xunyan's eyes, and when he hugged Chu Ji just now, the hidden aura was clearly ready to make a move.
Isn't it strange that Wuji Pavilion is not dead, but there are people who have disappeared in the rivers and lakes, but there are people guarding the eldest lady of the Chu family who has no connection with the rivers and lakes at all. But it's not all because of Wuji Pavilion, after all, this little woman is so interesting, I don't know what kind of funny scene she looks like when she completely surrenders to herself.
