Chapter 25: Severed Fingers
Chu Xi's eyes were stabbed by a finger in the box, and this bloody severed finger seemed to be her limbs that had been cut off in her previous life.
Chu Zhen was dizzy for a while, but Chu Zhenzhen fainted directly, and the maids and daughters quickly surrounded her and squeezed her aside.
She gasped heavily, and finally came back to her senses only to find that Chu Dai'er had sat aside with a pale face, and Chu Xiuxiu was also frightened.
She wanted to laugh a little, her acting skills were so proficient at such a young age.
"Miss, how can you be so cruel, how can you scare my young lady with a broken finger!" A voice of accusation suddenly came from outside the house, and Chu Xi saw that it was Ying'er.
Chu Xi looked at the angry Ying'er, and said lightly: "I really blame me, I shouldn't have opened the things that the fourth sister gave me in public." ”
When Ying'er saw her say this, she couldn't find a place to talk back.
"Fourth sister, did you prepare this gift yourself?" Chu Ji didn't care about the provocative Ying'er, and asked Chu Dai'er.
Chu Dai'er turned her head indifferently, her eyes were already full of tears: "I, I don't know ......"
Chu Dai'er's words were inexplicable, how could she not know what she had prepared? But Chu Xi didn't care if she knew, and it was not bad to use this matter to make an example of the monkey.
"I panicked when I saw my sister giving gifts, how could I not know?" Chu Ji's tone was a little cold, Chu Dai'er looked at her and gritted her teeth slightly: "I originally wanted to give my eldest sister a red hosta. ”
"Red hostas?" Chu Xi's face was pale: "If I don't open it, whether it's a broken finger or a red hosta, I'm afraid it will cost me half my life, right?" ”
Chu Dai'er was full of tears and apologized, Chu Xi was too lazy to play with her again, and said directly: "Sister Dai'er, it is a trivial matter that I was framed, what I am afraid is that this severed finger will involve human life, since you don't know, let's report it to the official." ”
"What do you do!" Chu Xiuxiu, who was watching the excitement on the side, hurriedly said: "It's just a severed finger, maybe it's a prank." ”
When Chu Xiuxiu's words came out, the surrounding maids and mothers-in-law all trembled, this third lady actually said that taking people off their fingers was a prank, even if she didn't do it, it can be seen that she is vicious.
"The third sister only said 'Xingxu', so what if Xingxing is a human life? No matter how high or low that life is, it is not a good thing for the Prime Minister's Mansion after all, if the third sister doesn't want me to report to the official, then I will go and tell my father and mother. Chu Xi said that she was about to go out, she would not be stupid enough to let them jointly plant this sin on herself, and she still remembered where the girl ring with the severed finger was, and she should not be dead now.
Chu Xiu left, Chu Xiuxiu didn't do anything, but Ying'er panicked, and stepped forward to stop her: "Miss, don't bother you to go this way, slave and maid go." ”
"No, since Sister Ying'er has counted the matter on my head, I will definitely be responsible for this matter to the end." Chu Xi looked at her panicked eyes, and a slight smile appeared in her eyes.
"Who knows if it's a thief shouting to catch a thief." Chu Xiuxiu muttered, Chu Xiu just pretended not to hear it, and looked at Chu Zhenzhen, who had already woken up: "Sister Ying'er still doesn't take care of the second sister?" ”
Ying'er stared at her, unwilling to let go like this, Chu Xi leaned forward slightly: "Sister Ying'er's eyes are very good, and she knew at the door that it was the severed finger that fell to the ground, I wonder if I can see where the severed finger is now?" ”
Ying'er raised her head suddenly, only to feel her heart beating faster: "Big, Miss......"
Chu Xi tilted her head slightly, she didn't expect to be so intimidated, but her target was not Ying'er, she wanted her to say another name in her mouth!
