Chapter 57: Counter-Killing

The carriage soon arrived at Yunfu, and there were already many cars and horses in front of Yunfu, and the flow of people was like weaving, and before I got off the carriage, I heard a surprise voice: "Zhenzhen!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen raised her eyes and looked, she was the eldest lady of the Yun family, and she liked to stick to her the most on weekdays, thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a trace of disdain, but she still smiled with a smile: "Song Yue." ”

A few people first went in to pay homage to Mrs. Yun, and then the ladies of each family played freely, and before leaving, Mrs. Yun did not forget to instruct: "You can play in Linfeng Xuan, don't go to listen to the snow building." ”

"Got it, grandmother." Yun Songyue responded delicately and grabbed Chu Zhenzhen's hand: "Zhenzhen, let's go together, all the ladies are chanting poetry there, and it is also the closest to Tingxue Tower, and I heard that the eighth prince will also come over today." ”

Listening to her chatter, Chu Zhenzhen chuckled, and turned her head to look at Chu Zhen, who had been lowering her eyebrows and lowering her sense of existence, as if she had been prepared: "This is my eldest sister Chu Xi, you can lead her and the third sister over first, the fourth sister is here for the first time, I will take her around to have a look." ”

Chu Zhenzhen had an explanation, and Yun Songyue had no choice but to respond even if she was unhappy.

Chu Xiuxiu winked at Chu Zhenzhen, turned her head and took Chu Zhen's hand and went out with her.

Chu Dai'er's eyes were gloomy, and when others couldn't see it, she smiled lightly.

"Song Yue, why don't we take this trail and get much closer." Chu Xiuxiu said.

Yun Songyue was a little annoyed by her direct call by her name, and glanced at her dissatisfied: "Hmm." With that, he strode forward, ignoring the two who were left behind.

Green Sprouts was a little worried: "Let's just take the avenue." ”

"You Nizi, what are you afraid of, there can still be ghosts eating you in this Shangshu Mansion." Chu Xiuxiu was angry, vented at her, and swept Chu Xi's clothes today, and looked at her with a smile: "Big sister is really bright and moving today, if a bold man sees it, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it." ”

Lu Ya listened to the meat words in her mouth, and her face turned red with shame: "Third Miss, my young lady is still a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, what are you doing with these words, I don't think you know how much you understand!" ”

"You!"

"Alright." Chu Xi raised her eyes and said lightly: "Miss Yun has already gone away, and if we don't leave, we won't be able to keep up." She was looking forward to the trap they had set together.

Chu Xiuxiu no longer argued, but thinking about the purpose, she had to leave in steps.

"Miss." Green Bud frowned, and Chu Xi chuckled: "Have you prepared everything that you were asked to prepare before?" ”

Green Sprout Bow: "It's ready, but you have these, what if someone finds out!" Lu Ya handed Chu Xi the drug-stained handkerchief and a few silver needles.

Chu Xi smiled silently and went straight forward.

The situation here is still the same as before, time seems to have turned back all of a sudden, she was tricked into that dim and dirty room again, and the madman of the Yun family rushed towards her fiercely, tearing her clothes, gnawing the flesh on her legs, she was finally able to enter the palace smoothly, not so much that the old emperor was confused, but that at that time, Prime Minister Chu and King Xiaoyao joined forces to cover the sky with one hand.

The ugly face and painful feeling seemed to be close to him again, Chu Xi stopped and took a deep breath, and the killing intent surging in his chest calmed down.

"Big sister. What's wrong? Seeing her stop, Chu Xiuxiu turned her head and asked dishappily.

"Miss"

"It doesn't matter." Chu Xi opened her eyes again, she was already full of calm, she came to return a little bit of these spikes that gouged her heart and liver, why should she be afraid. Chu Xi smiled self-deprecatingly and followed.

It didn't take long to arrive at a secluded alley, which was next to the wall, and next to it seemed to be a door from the back wall of the yard.

"Oh no, my stomach hurts." Chu Xiuxiu suddenly covered her stomach and said.

Yun Songyue, who had never spoken to her, came over at this time: "There is a small courtyard where we walked over just now, which can be convenient inside, why don't you go there with the third lady?" ”

"Okay." Chu Xiuxiu bowed her head, and then turned her head to look at Chu Xiu: "Big sister, why don't you rest here for a while, I'll come when I go." ”

Yun Songyue also left her thickest ring: "Caiyi, you follow the eldest lady." With that, he took Chu Xiuxiu and left.

The girl named Caiyi looked at the thin master and servant of Chu Xi, her expression was light, she had done too much of this kind of thing, but she didn't have a little energy: "Miss." Inside, please."

Before she could finish her 'please', Green Sprout covered her mouth and nose with a drugged handkerchief, and in a moment she stopped struggling.

Green Sprouts turned pale with fright: "Miss, what should I do?" ”

Chu Xi looked lightly in the direction where Chu Xiuxiu left: "You go to the fourth lady and quietly tell her that I know what happened to her wrist injury, please come over immediately." ”

Green Sprout looked confused, Miss should also find Miss Second or Miss Third if she wants to treat her in the way of others, why do you want to find Miss Four?

"Go quickly, it's too late to be late." Chu Xi began to bend down and drag the colorful clothes on the ground into the yard, and the green shoots did not dare to delay and left in a hurry.

After Chu Xi dragged the person in, he turned his head to look at the tall man with a greedy face who had appeared behind him, and the corners of his mouth were coldly hooked.

According to Chu Xi's instructions, Lu Ya found Chu Dai'er, who was walking slowly on the verandah with Chu Zhenzhen, and stepped forward to salute: "Fourth Miss." ”

"What's wrong?" Chu Zhenzhen condescendingly looked at the green sprouts who could not hide their panic.

Green Bud gritted her teeth and raised her eyes to look at Chu Dai'er: "Fourth Miss, the slave maid has a few words I want to whisper to you, I don't know"

"Does this take me seriously?" Chu Zhenzhen sneered, but she thought that the matter had already been done, and she couldn't hide her joy on her face, and softened her tone: "Isn't there any difficulty for the big sister?" If that's the case, then you should have told me. ”

Chu Dai'er's lips opened, but she took a step back and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lu Ya looked at Chu Zhenzhen again, gritted her teeth and said: "My young lady asked me to tell Fourth Miss that I know what happened to her wrist injury, please Fourth Miss go over immediately, it will be too late." ”

"Yes, in that case, I will go over with my fourth sister to have a look." Chu Zhenzhen said with a smile.

Chu Dai'er lowered her eyebrows and answered in a low voice, before she walked out of the verandah, slipped her feet, and fell directly into the dry grass next to her, looking embarrassed.

Chu Zhenzhen easily suppressed her laughter, and glared at Mu Xiang who followed her: "How do you serve your master?" ”

"Slaves deserve to die."

"That's it." Chu Zhenzhen glanced at Chu Dai'er, who seemed to have fallen hard: "Help the fourth sister to rest in the courtyard, I'll go to the eldest sister first." After that, after thinking about it, he said to Lu Ya again: "You also serve, Mu Xiang, this girl is very stupid, so as not to turn back and fall again with the fourth sister." ”

"But Second Miss," Green Sprout became more and more anxious. Seeing her like this, Chu Zhenzhen became more and more sure of what she was thinking, and left without further ado, and after walking for a while, she asked Ying'er to invite the old lady and all the young ladies and ladies to come over, and walked quickly all the way to the courtyard.

When she arrived at the place, she saw that the courtyard door was open, and the footsteps in front of the courtyard were a little messy, Chu Zhenzhen smiled, but she was not too stupid, and she didn't plan to go in immediately, so she just waited at the door for Ying'er to bring someone over.

"Second Miss Chu?"

A voice came, Chu Zhenzhen turned around in response, and before she could see the face of the person who came clearly, she felt a pain in her neck when she only caught a glimpse of Yunfu Yahuan's uniform, and fainted.

Looking at the people on the ground, Chu Xi looked cold, grabbed her feet and dragged them in directly.

In the distance, a man in a black brocade dress saw Chu Xi's movements, and the interest in his eyes became more and more. The last time I saw her, she was calm and calm, but this time I saw her, she was ruthless, how did such a woman be raised.

In the dark room, two naked people were thrown on the broken cotton wool on the ground, and the smell of blood emitted made Chu Xi almost want to vomit, while this madman of the Yun family was eating bloody meat on the side.

This son of the Yun family is not so much a madman as the Yun family's biggest secret.

Old lady Yun was romantic, left seeds everywhere, and left a lot of illegitimate daughters outside the house, and later Yun Shangshu also followed his father, countless women in the backyard were still wandering around, and finally fell in love with a dusty woman and gave birth to a strange son, only to find out later that the dusty woman was actually the illegitimate daughter of the old lady Yun, that is, Yun Shangshu's half-sister.

Yun Old Lady was so angry that she vomited blood and died, and the woman was even more ashamed to jump into the water and commit suicide, Yun Shangshu was remorseful but couldn't bear to kill this son, so he handed him over to his aunt to feed, until he was three years old and bit off his aunt's nipples/head alive before it was discovered that he not only had extremely low intelligence, but also was born with the characteristics of eating blood and flesh.

Such a person should have been strictly controlled or killed, but Yun Shangshu was frenzied to place him here, feeding him with pigs, cattle and mutton on weekdays, and taking female prisoners every six months to meet his needs and also give him 'hunger', this matter was not discovered until King Xiaoyao gained power, in order to get rid of Yun Shangshu, who had taken refuge in the Eighth Prince, shocked the world after the announcement, and directly reduced the reputation of the Eighth Prince to a minimum.

Chu Xi looked at the rotten and dry bones piled up in the corner, her eyes were red, and the dagger in her hand trembled slightly, she really wanted to go up and kill such a demon directly, but he was of greater use.

According to the memories of his previous life, Chu Xi found the real main gate here, sorted out his clothes, debated the direction of Linfeng Pavilion, and walked away.

Ying'er hurried to the crowd with everyone, but there was no trace of Chu Zhenzhen at the door, and her heart was not good, so she hurriedly said to the people standing in the narrow alley: "Big, big lady is inside." ”

"Hun said something." A strong shout came, and everyone raised their eyes to see that it was the housekeeper beside Old Madam Yun.

Ying'er was so frightened that her legs weakened, Qin Xue hurriedly stood up and said, "What is Mama anxious about, my eldest girl has returned to the capital for the first time, and it is the first time she has come out to participate in such a banquet, and it is not impossible to go to the wrong place." ”

"That's not going to go in here either." Mama's face was stern, she looked at the messy footsteps at the gate of the courtyard, and asked the maid next to her in a deep voice: "What about the mother-in-law who is guarding, why is it missing?" ”

"The slave and the maid go and seek."

Ying'er looked at Qin Xue anxiously: "Big lady, the young lady said that a person came first, but now I haven't seen anyone, and the slave is worried."

Qin Xue also frowned and looked at the grandmother: "Grandma, if you don't go in and look for it, my big girl may really be inside." Qin Xue said, she just heard that there was a madman locked up here, but she didn't know the inside story, but this grandmother obviously knew.

Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, he ordered people to stay at the door and looked at the crowd: "It will inevitably hurt the ladies, so the ladies will wait at the door for a while." With that, he turned and left.

"Isn't there a madman locked up here, Yun Shangshu is well hidden." There is a lady said.

Qin Xue didn't want to listen to these now, Chu Zhenzhen's disappearance was what she was most worried about.

Not long after, before the grandmother came out, she heard a sharp and frightened cry from inside, Qin Xue recognized the voice, and only felt dizzy: "Quick, save people!" So saying, he ran in, and the rest of the ladies who wanted to see the excitement followed.

The grandmother hurriedly came out and closed the door to keep people out: "You can't go in!" ”

Qin Xue's face was slightly pale, and there was a sharp cry from inside, accompanied by the sound of smashing things.

Qin Xue didn't care so much, so she stepped forward and pushed the woman away. But when he pushed the door open, a rotten stench poured out, and everyone was nauseous.

"Mother, mother save me!" When Chu Zhenzhen saw Qin Xue, she shouted directly.

Everyone looked inside, their eyes widened, the second lady of the Chu family who was as beautiful as a fairy was now sitting in a pile of broken quilts, covered in blood, her eyes were cracking, as terrifying as a ghost from hell, and what was even more terrifying was the woman on the ground who was still struggling to crawl forward, the woman was the same as Chu Zhenzhen, the only difference was that her calf was being held and gnawed by a foul man, drenched in blood, and the man seemed to be feasting, biting a piece of meat and swallowing it, and let out a satisfied roar.

Everyone screamed when they saw it, the timid ones fainted directly, and the bold ones couldn't hide their disgust. Directly threw up on the side.

Qin Xue was also stunned, until Chu Zhenzhen's frightened voice sounded again: "Mother, mother save me!" ”

"Someone, someone, come quickly, kill that demon directly!" Chu Zhenzhen shouted.

The grandmother also panicked: "No, you can't be killed!" ”

Where can Qin Xue manage so much, she turned around and said directly to the mother-in-law who came with her: "You didn't hear my words, don't go in to save the second miss!" ”

After saying that, the mothers-in-law gritted their teeth, found sticks and bricks and stones around and rushed in.

There were shouts here, but Chu Xiuxiu outside was happy, thinking that Chu Xiu was inside, and said to a large group of young ladies who followed behind: "Quick, my eldest sister is inside." As he spoke, he rushed in with someone, and those ladies just stopped their daughters, and no one stopped them and followed Chu Xiuxiu directly to the door, seeing the scene inside, the picture of fainting was even more heroic, and some people from military generals were so frightened that they almost cried. turned around and ran to find his father, so not long after, a large group of male dependents came to Hulala, and Yun Shangshu couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

Some of them were a little reckless, and when they saw the guy who was eating people inside, they naturally wanted to do the right thing for the heavens, and they went in with a knife and cut people down, Chu Zhenzhen lost face this time, although she could tell people that she didn't lose her chastity, but this face was really lost, and all the men and women saw it clearly.

Yun Shangshu knew that his son was killed, and he almost didn't stand firm, but this old lady Yun had the courage to directly splash dirty water on the concubine, saying that he was raising wicked people under Yun Shangshu's nose, and beat people to the point that he only had one breath left without saying a word, and he couldn't say a word while lying on the bed.

A birthday banquet turned into a farce like this, but if this matter was so easy, how would Chu Xi be satisfied?

Qin Xue took Chu Zhenzhen and hurriedly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Today is considered a loss of face, but Chu Xiuxiu directly knelt on the ground with weak legs.

When Chu Xi was found, she was in the Linfeng Pavilion, and all the young ladies could testify, so she was naturally not suspicious, but Yun Songyue insisted that it was Chu Xi who entered the courtyard, so Chu Xi had to go with Chu Xiuxiu to see Mrs. Yun.

Old Madam Yun was not much stimulated, and when she was celebrating her birthday, she was still full of ruddy, but now she looked as if she had aged several years all of a sudden, staring at them with an angry face.

Old Madam Chu is naturally there, her face is also not good-looking, although she has had a friendship with Old Madam Yun since childhood, but now that this incident has happened, how can it be possible if she doesn't have a dislike?

"Tell me what happened today!" Old Madam Chu was the first to lose her temper.

Chu Xiuxiu was so frightened that she knelt down directly, crying with a sad face: "I, I don't know, halfway the eldest sister said that she was going to take the path, so I went with Miss Yun and took her over, and then I had a stomachache, so I told the eldest sister to wait in place, but when we came back, we saw what happened to Fang Cai." ”

"You are talking nonsense, it is obvious that you are going to take the path, why did you wronged my young lady!" Green Sprouts have always been very bold for Chu Xi.

Old Madam Chu looked up at Chu Xi, and there was only hatred in her eyes for disturbing the friendship between Prime Minister Huang and Shangshu Mansion: "You come on." ”

Chu Xi looked at her cold eyes, her heart was slightly cold, she stood on the side and lowered her eyes slightly, her voice trembled slightly: "Xi'er was waiting there, but she always felt that something was wrong with her body, as if there was a ghost haunting her, so she found an excuse to ask Lu Ya to find the fourth sister to accompany her, but after waiting for a long time and no one was seen, I was scared so much, so I simply returned along the same way, but I didn't expect to arrive at Linfeng Pavilion, and then I have been there." ”

Seeing that Chu Xi couldn't stand this battle and showed fear, Old Madam Chu's brows relaxed slightly, if a little girl who had never seen the world in her teens could be calm in such a situation. That's a bit scary.

Old Madam Chu glanced at Old Madam Yun in the first seat: "You ask." ”

Old Madam Yun's face was tense: "Song Yue, you say, what's going on!" ”

Yun Songyue was also frightened, and said that she would let the eldest lady of the Chu family enter the courtyard, how could it be Zhen Zhen in the end?

"Speak! Dumb! Old Madam Yun scolded directly.

Yun Songyue was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, looking at her sweaty mother who was standing on the side: "Auntie, it's none of my business, I just brought someone there." She is not stupid, she didn't shake things out one by one, but in the end, she is young and has not experienced anything, and three or two sentences are already full of loopholes.

"Who told you to bring people there? Do you know who's in the house? Old Madam Yun asked sharply. This matter is the secret of Yunfu, except for the three or two mothers-in-law who are waiting, no one knows about it.

Yun Songyue looked at her grandmother, opened her mouth, and stammered a complete sentence without saying a word.

Chu Xiuxiu looked at this scene, and simply pretended to be dizzy with both eyes, Yun Songyue saw this, and was even more at a loss, constantly looking up at the aunt who was standing aside and wanted to plead but didn't dare to speak.

Chu Ji froze when she saw things. said: "With the second sister, I heard that there is also a maid ring?" ”

As if she had just remembered, Old Madam Yun raised her hand, and the bloody and bloody colorful clothes that her calf was asked for were lifted up.

Caiyi was also stupid, she was yelling when she saw everyone, so she couldn't prove it, but Chu Xi only needed her to come, first, she was Yun Songyue's personal girl, and she could scare her when she came.

Yun Songyue looked at the colorful clothes who waved her arms and screamed, she collapsed in fright, and simply took out a letter from her sleeve, which was the plan that Chu Zhenzhen had given her to frame Chu Zhen.

Old Madam Yun looked at the hand fight, puffed out a pair of eyes and threw the letter unceremoniously on Old Madam Chu: "I have been friends with you for so many years, and you are so harmful to me!" ”

The words on the letter paper were clearly written, and the old lady Chu had a blue face, got up and saluted the first seat, turned her head and left.

In the Chu Mansion, Chu Zhenzhen was scared stupid. Chu Bingsong heard that everyone outside knew about the 'cannibalism' incident, and an old face had no place to rest, so when he came back, he scolded Qin Xue, beat Chu Zhenzhen ten boards and threw them into the ancestral hall, and slept in Aunt Yanxue's courtyard that night.

Chu Xiuxiu also had no good fruit to eat, but she pushed the matter on Chu Zhenzhen and was only punished and grounded for three months.

Old Madam Chu directly sent someone to replace all the maid-in-law in the Zhujin Pavilion, which was regarded as another slap in the face to Qin Xue, and this matter was over for the time being, because Chu Qitai, the only sister-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, came back.

Chu Qitai is about twenty years old, he has been learning poetry and songs from masters outside, and he also learned some martial arts, he is a young talent, he became a jinshi at the age of eighteen, and he is very popular among the nobles and nobles in the capital, but Chu Ji knows that he is a young talent, and he is full of water.

Chu Zhenzhen was only released after being locked up for three days, because Qin Xue had to take her children back to her parents' house to walk around these days, her mother's house was now the Dingguo Mansion, and Chu Bingsong had to climb a little bit.

Qin Xue's father was originally a concubine, and later the virtuous son-in-law of the Guogong Mansion died on the battlefield, and the old Guogong killed his aunt in order to keep the title of the Duke of the country, and sent the unsuccessful concubine to his mother's name, which is what it is today.

Chu Xi, as a concubine, naturally wanted to go with her, wearing the purple gown and crescent white skirt last time, wearing a pure white fox fur cloak, holding a small golden stove in her hand, and her hair was simply held by a hairpin, standing at the door lightly, so that Chu Qitai could see God.

Chu Qitai is a four-six person who is not stingy, and he has harmed many of his own sisters, all of whom were pressed down by Chu Bingsong one by one, Qin Xue saw that he was stupid for Chu Xi, and raised his hand and slapped the back of his hand fiercely: "Hold on to your own sister!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen is still dressed in white. A little powder, eyebrows lowered and wanted to cry, this pitiful posture and the snow contrasted, it was distressing. The son who was riding by on the side of the road saw it and covered his chest: "Regardless of whether Miss Chu Er is defiled or not, as long as she is willing to marry me, I am willing to exhaust the family wealth." ”

When Chu Zhenzhen heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't hear it, and quickly got into the carriage, Chu Qitai followed: "I didn't expect to see you for a few years, my eldest sister was so good-looking, and I haven't seen that unearthly temperament." ”

Chu Zhenzhen's hands on her knees clenched tightly: "Big brother came back to help her Chu Xi?" ”

"Qitai, this Nizi's heart and eyes are like a sieve, you can be careful, this time your sister almost folded in, don't look back, you also folded in." Qin Xue said on the side.

Chu Qitai leaned on the carriage and lifted Erlang's legs: "Mother don't worry, it's just a little girl." No matter how powerful it is, it can surpass my sword? If it really doesn't work, kill it with a knife. ”

Qin Xue smiled and did not refute.

Chu Xi and Chu Dai'er sat in the carriage behind together, Chu Xi held her breath all the way, only thinking about the affairs of the Dingguo Mansion.

Qin Hao, the Duke of Dingguo, was promoted to his son-in-law because he was forty or fifty years old, and inherited the title, and now he is more like a nouveau riche, arrogant and brainless, after the death of the old Duke Dingguo and his wife, no one in the house can control it, and the new Duchess of Dingguo is an aunt who is straightened, with many eyes but shallow eyelids, and it is also a big joke in the capital.

"I really envy the big sister." Chu Dai'er suddenly spoke.

Chu Xi raised her eyes slightly and smiled lightly: "Yes." ”

Chu Dai'er didn't seem to notice Chu Xi's alienation, and lowered her head to fiddle with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand: "It's good that the eldest sister was taken care of by her mother when she was a child, and now she also has the status of a concubine, unlike me." Although I have long been fostered in the name of my wife, everyone only calls me Miss Four, and never takes me as the master, and the second sister also treats me as a person. ”

Chu Xi heard the flattering meaning in her words, but when she killed Shen's mother and repeatedly wanted to use herself to deal with Chu Zhenzhen and Chu Xiuxiu, the two fools, she was destined to be on the same path as her.

At this time, the carriage stopped, and the voice of the mother-in-law was heard outside.

Chu Xi got up and looked at her lightly: "Then you can live in peace, if people are greedy and want to get things that do not belong to them, they will have to endure hardship." For example, in her previous life, she longed for family affection and love.

Chu Ji left, Chu Dai'er looked at her thin but straight back, did she know about that?

"Fourth Miss, it's here." Chuncao lifted the curtain and said.

Chu Dai'er looked at her, held down her slightly trembling hand, nodded modestly before getting out of the carriage.

Chu Xi looked at the empty gate of the Guogong Mansion, and then looked at Qin Xue, whose face was pale, and the corners of her mouth were faintly hooked.

"Go, tell the Duchess and the lord. Just say I'm back! Qin Xue sent her mother-in-law in, but she refused to walk in by herself, she was a dignified lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she was left at the door by her own family, what kind of business is this.

After waiting for a long time, I saw a well-dressed mother-in-law come out of it: "Ouch, it's the prime minister's wife here." ”

Qin Xue held the shelf: "Where's Madam?" ”

The mother-in-law smiled: "Madame's maiden brother is here, and he is entertaining, and the prime minister's wife is here, and she specially asked the slave and maid to pick it up." "This mother-in-law, the wife of the prime minister on the left and the wife of the prime minister on the right, called Qin Xue, the daughter of the princess's mansion, an outsider.

Chu Qitai relied on his two years of kung fu learning, and stepped forward and kicked his mother-in-law's ankle, which made her scream in pain.

"Mother, let's go in."

Qin Xue let out a sigh, and then walked in with her clothes neat, and then walked to the door and met the new lady's brother and sister-in-law.

The new lady Bai was originally a Qing man from the Qinglou, and in the past few years, she has made Qin Hao happy, and as soon as the original partner passed away, she couldn't wait to help her to be the main room.

"Ouch, this is the eldest nephew." Bai's elder brother hurriedly smiled, turned his head and saw Chu Zhenzhen again, his eyes lit up: "This is Zhenzhen?" I'm the same age as my family, right, have you ever discussed marriage? ”

Bai's sister-in-law was also busy greeting her big-shouldered and round-waisted son: "Da Zhuang, come out and see my sister, let's see if this is your daughter-in-law?" ”

Qin Xue was so angry that her head was dizzy, and Chu Zhenzhen glared at him in disgust: "Cheap thing, stay away from me!" ”

Bai's face changed when he arrived: "The things in the Prime Minister's Mansion are noble, please go back and rest the Prime Minister's wife and ladies." ”

Qin Xue raised her hand and pointed at Bai, who was two years younger than herself: "You prostitute, you thought you made my father happy, but now it's really a crow turned into a phoenix?" After that, he pointed to her brother and sister-in-law and said, "You don't look at what you are, you are shameless, and you dare to climb relatives with me." ”

Bai's face turned blue with anger, since she became the Duchess of the country, she has heard flattering words, and if she dares to say irresponsible things in the house, she will sell her feet.

"It is said that the girl who married out spilled the water, and the prime minister's wife has also come here today, so let's go back." After that, he actually pulled his brother and sister-in-law to turn his head and go back, leaving Qin Xue to stand at the spacious second gate, so angry that he didn't know whether it was better to enter or go back.

In the end, she still stayed, and in the room, Lu Ya changed the charcoal fire in the stove for Chu Xi, and smiled: "I thought that after this eldest lady came, she would rely on her territory to bully the young lady, but she didn't expect that she would be scolded by the aunt who brought it up by the prostitute/girl." ”

Chu Xi sat on the warm couch and laughed softly, she didn't see the grandfather of this country come back all day, and Chu Xi and the others were hungry for a day.

Lu Ya laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, and she didn't care if she was hungry or not: "She is such a four-six person, and the eldest lady from her own house went back to her parents' house, but she didn't have a mouthful of food to eat." ”

Chu Xi looked at her, beckoned, and said a few words in her ear, Lu Ya listened to Chu Xi's heart suffocating, laughing so much that tears were about to come out, and when the mood calmed down, he went out with a solemn face.

When it was getting late, Chu Xi planned to rest, saving herself from waking up hungry in the middle of the night, but she didn't want Grandpa Guo to come back, and brought an uninvited guest.

The Eighth Prince would actually come here, even Qin Xue didn't expect it.

The ladies were told not to go out at home, but the Bai family ran over with her eight-year-old daughter, Qin Xue was so angry that she scolded in the courtyard, but Chu Zhenzhen was smart, she only said that she went out to relax, and somehow dispersed to the eighth prince, and finally got a reward.

Chu Xi remembered the person who was at the inn that night, where did he know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? Chu Zhenzhen can be rewarded, either she really can't get around, or she has other thoughts.

She didn't care left and right, she just waited for the green sprouts to come back and say that it was done, so she could sleep peacefully.

In the middle of the night, the things arranged by Chu Xi came to fruition, and the Bai family led a large group of mothers-in-law to Qin Xue's courtyard to make a big fuss.

Qin Xue's hair was messy, and she looked angrily at the Bai family in front of her, who didn't know anything about it: "I just said that you are a prostitute and not worthy of the Duchess of this country, what's wrong?" "Qin Xue used to be the first talented woman in the capital, she was talented and beautiful, and she knew etiquette and virtue, if it wasn't for her father who was just a wrecked concubine at that time, how could she marry Chu Bingsong as a concubine, although she was later corrected, but this has always been a problem for her.

Bai Shi jumped to his feet in anger: "That's it, you even instigated your daughter to go to the Eighth Prince to tease, accuse me of harming the grandfather of the country, and let him divorce me, you poisonous woman, get out of here now!" ”

Chu Qitai was in the front yard, and when he heard the sound and wanted to come, he was stopped by his mother-in-law, and he was so angry that he kicked all the way.

The Bai family was stupid, and directly called the guards over, this trouble, Qin Hao, who wanted to pretend to be deaf, could still turn a blind eye, and reprimanded the Bai family that night, which was the end of the matter, but the Liang Zi of the Bai family and Qin Xue was strong and unbreakable.

Chu Xi slept peacefully all night. Although the Liang Zi between the Bai family and Qin Xue had already been concluded, Qin Xue had always endured it before, but this time it was because there were too many things that had happened recently, which made her mess up all of a sudden, so she couldn't hold back.

Green Sprouts, who came to serve in the morning, were a little worried: "When Madame calms down and comes back to her senses, isn't it dangerous for us here?" ”

Chu Xi drank the last mouthful of porridge and slowly rinsed her mouth before saying, "I'm afraid that she won't be able to come back to her senses, the more she hates, the easier it is to show her feet." Chu Xi smiled, looked at the time and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to go and say goodbye, so as to remind her of the real purpose of coming today." ”

The Chu Mansion has been in a bad deficit in the past few years, although the old lady Chu has some savings, but Qin Xue hinted at the old lady Chu several times as if she didn't hear it, and she originally pinned her hopes on Chu Xi's dowry and silver, but when she went up the mountain, she came back with nothing. Her own dowry money is not much, and it is all reserved for Chu Zhenzhen's dowry. So the biggest purpose of her going back to her parents' house this time was to borrow some silver.

When I arrived at Qin Xue's yard, there were four or five stout mothers-in-law waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and when I saw her coming, my face relaxed.

"Miss, Mrs. Lady is waiting in the house." Mother-in-law said.

Waiting?

Chu Xi felt a burst of sarcasm in her heart, and went inside, but Mama Xu was waiting at the door early and led her directly to Qin Xue's room.

Qin Xue was lying on the bed at the moment, with a white scarf on her forehead, Chu Zhenzhen and Chu Dai'er were already waiting on the side, but Chu Zhenzhen lowered her head and hid her face and sobbed, Chu Qitai was so angry that she didn't speak with a dark face.

Seeing Chu Xi coming, Qin Xue opened her eyes: "Is it Ji'er coming?" ”

"Mother." Chu Xi stepped forward and saluted: "Mother, what's the matter?" ”

"Hey." Mama Xu shook her head: "Last night, when I made a fuss, my wife was so angry that she was cold, and she couldn't get up this time." ”

"Have you called a doctor?"

"It's called." Mama Xu said, and suddenly the words changed: "The eldest lady is still calm, the second lady is already crying silently, the eldest son is a quick temper, and the fourth lady is timid. ”

Chu Xi didn't answer: "It's okay if people are fine, but can you get through the grandfather of the country?" ”

Seeing that Chu Ji didn't pick up, Mama Xu said again: "Not yet, Madame wants to tell Grandpa Guo about that matter together, so as to save running back and forth." ”

Chu Zhenzhen was less patient: "Or let Mama Xu run on her behalf." ”

Mama Xu looked at her in embarrassment, and hurriedly bent over: "Second Miss said that she laughed, the status of the old slave is humble, this rumor is okay, if the old slave is allowed to go, how can the grandfather of the country accept me." ”

Chu Zhenzhen looked around the room in embarrassment, and when she saw Chu Zhen, she seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull her: "Big sister, Mama Xu also said that you are calm, can you help your mother?" Now the eldest brother is angry, and he doesn't know what will happen to him, the fourth sister is timid, and the mother is sick now. Only the eldest sister can help, if you refuse to help, go back to my father and ask, although we have the heart to take responsibility for my sister, but my sister is not punished. ”

Chu Xi laughed in her heart, how did this responsibility become hers? Moreover, she has no blood relationship with the Qin family, so she asked her to go if the Qin family didn't go.

"Sister, my mother begs you, if my mother can still walk around, she won't trouble you." Qin Xue said on the bed.

Chu Xi smiled: "Mother says this, how can I not be reasonable." ”

Chu Ji responded gently and skillfully, and did not shirk much.

"Then let Mama Xu go with you, you don't have to worry about going to your mother alone." Qin Xue Road.

Chu Ji responded one by one, since you asked me to go, you have to bear the consequences yourself.

When Chu Ji left, the anger on Chu Qitai's face disappeared immediately, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Dai'er: "It's still the fourth sister who is smart, and I know that I want the eldest sister to die first." ”

Chu Dai'er lowered her eyebrows: "Dai'er, Dai'er is just"

Looking at her cowardly look, Chu Zhenzhen glanced at her: "Okay, what are you afraid of, the eldest brother won't eat you, if you do well this time, I will give you all the benefits of Xiuxiu in the future." ”

"Thank you, second sister." Chu Dai'er hurriedly thanked her.

"That's right." Chu Zhenzhen seemed to suddenly remember something: "Dai'er, you still have to do me a favor." ”

"Second sister, let's say."

Chu Zhenzhen laughed, thinking of the events of Yunfu that day, she only felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly: "Tonight, help me ask my eldest sister to come out to enjoy the flowers, I heard that the plum blossoms in the Dongyuan Purple Bamboo Forest are blooming well." ”

Chu Dai'er's lips trembled, and she raised her eyes to look at her: "Yes." ”

As soon as she raised her head, her delicate little face fell into Chu Qitai's eyes: "I didn't expect the fourth sister to be so moving." Chu Qitai sighed sincerely, Qin Xue knew that his brain followed his grandfather, and he was a fool, so he glanced at him warningly: "This is the back house, you can go back." ”

Chu Qitai was itchy to see it, and glanced at Chu Dai'er meaningfully, and then lifted the curtain and left.

Speaking of which, Chu Xi walked with Mama Xu for a while, but suddenly stopped.

"Miss, what's wrong? Is Grandpa Guo's study still ahead? Mama Xu's eyes rolled, for fear that Chu Xi would come up with some kind of idea.

"Ouch, my belly" Green Sprout clutched her stomach and began to crouch down in pain.

Chu Xi hurriedly looked at Mama Xu anxiously: "Mama, you are familiar with the road in this house, do you want to take the green shoots to the toilet first?" ”

Mama Xu fully absorbed the experience of Yunshang Shufu, where was she willing to ask Chu Xi to leave from under her nose, so she raised her hand and pointed out a way for Lu Ya: "You go to this path, not far from the courtyard of the Duchess of Guo, you can find someone to ask." ”

Green Sprout looked at Chu Xi, and Chu Xi had to nod in embarrassment.

Mama Xu showed a clear smile on her face, and raised her chin with her hands, and her tone was sharper: "Miss, please come here, I don't have to delay the business for a girl." ”

Chu Xi nodded and followed, and Lu Ya also hurriedly left from the path, but she was very surprised in her heart, why is the young lady here closest to the courtyard of the Duchess of the Kingdom? That's it, it's important to complete what Miss explains. Thinking so, he hurried to the courtyard.
