Chapter 012: Would You Rather
In fact, Zi Jue didn't spend the night with that bit of jewelry or anything, she didn't sleep all night and called twice from time to time, and her mind was full of thinking about the affairs of the Chi family.
Zijue woke up early in the morning, but she shouldn't wait for Mo Chou to wait for the call, and lay in bed with her eyes closed.
At this time, many people in the Chi Mansion had already gotten up, especially the ancestors of the Chi family who woke up earlier than usual; People don't sleep much when they get old, but today the ancestors obviously woke up too early.
She got dressed and leaned on the bed to smoke a bag of cigarettes, and then saw the person who came in and smiled: "Call you so early, haven't you had breakfast yet?" Just come with me. Alas, speaking of which, you have served me all your life and want you to enjoy pure happiness, but some things have to be discussed with you. ”
"What did the ancestor say?" The mother-in-law wore gold and silver, and she didn't look like a subordinate, but she sat on the pedal humbly: "If you don't ask the slave and maid to come and say a few words, the slave and maid's heart will be empty, let alone when there is something?" Big girl——? ”
She is the old man of the Chi family, and she was not a celebrity around the ancestors of the Chi family in the past, but the years are urging people to get old, and her body is tough, so she boiled and boiled, and in the end she became the leading and most faceful servant of the Chi family.
Now her sons have been released with the help of the Chi family, and her grandson has entered school again: she knows that if she wants to be prosperous and rich, she must hug the thighs of the Chi family; Therefore, she has always known the rules very well, and she will never be disrespectful to the Chi family because she is now an official's grandmother.
She is a minion, a slave of the Chi family.
"That's her. I heard that there was a disturbance yesterday, that Yun Niang, you know, hey, only she is used as a good person, and she actually bullied the big girl; The big girl made a fuss and had to leave. The old ancestor sighed: "You say, how can I let go of my heart and enjoy the blessings in this family?" Old Fuya, I'm just going to say a few words to you. ”
Fu Niang handed the tea to the hands of the old ancestor of Chi: "How can you do it without you?!" Although Madame is a capable person, the people below are not successful. Big girl has to go? This is not very good, the second master ......, "She knows that she will not say a word more about the master."
Old Ancestor Chi knew her temperament and glared at her: "You, you are an honest mouth; Don't talk about it, anyway, it's a big girl's thing to say today - staying is staying, and her temperament looks a little greedy for money now, but the little family, if you see more in the future, you won't be like this again; It's just that there's something wrong with her, and I think there's something wrong with the ancestral house. ”
Fu Niang raised her head: "What's wrong?" ”
"The injuries are very scary." Old Ancestor Chi glanced at her, his eyes were as sharp as a blade: "My daughter of the Chi family, not everyone can hurt her!" The ancestral house has been taking care of the eldest girl and her mother, although her mother has remarried, but the eldest girl is the person of our Chi family, and the ancestral house has always said that the eldest girl is very good. ”
She sighed: "There has already been a change of her people, I think you should find a reliable person to inquire; Those injuries must have a reason, right? If someone really ......, although our Chi family is a benevolent family, it is not something that people can be bullied casually. ”
Fu Niang stood up and responded seriously.
****
Old Madam Chi looked at Rui Niang beside her: "Those injuries will appear when they are good?" Send your son over and ask him, and if anything goes wrong, let them get back to me and confess their sins, and don't let me cause anyone to pass by. ”
Rui Niang's face turned a little pale: "Yes, madam." Don't be angry, we don't know how things are going - it's important to heal the wound now, and you can ask the big girl......"
"Ask?" Old Madam Chi stared at her: "Is it easy to speak?" Our Chi family didn't know how she was doing for more than ten years, so how can we have the face to sit down and talk to her? Do you want her to slap her twice, do you think it's good enough? ”
****
Xia Shi fed Chi Zifang and finished taking the medicine: "Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry at this time." ”
"Why not be in a hurry? I'm running out of time, so I can't let anyone fool you. Chi Zifang sighed, holding Xia's hand, his eyes were full of tenderness: "If I could have known that I couldn't accompany you for a lifetime, I wouldn't have married you for a lifetime......
Xia covered his mouth with his hand: "I don't regret it." Even in the future, I will not regret it; I just can't go with you, I really can't ...... alone."
Chi Zifang took her hand away: "They wish we all left, but do you really have to let our children die unjustly, and cheapen those people for nothing?" At the very least, you have to find out how our children died, don't you? Otherwise, when we get to the bottom of the Nine Springs, how will we explain when we see a pair of children? ”
Xia Shi sobbed softly, and she barely stopped until Chi Zifang wiped her tears: "Don't talk about anything else, I don't think the eldest girl is ready, is it another day or two at night?" ”
Chi Zifang sighed: "What's the difference between one or two days at night, what should be said is always to be said; She is a smart child, so she has to let her know what she should do to stay in the Chi family. I can't see her obediently clinging to your knees, how can I leave with peace of mind? We are all tigers and wolves, I really hope this child can treat you sincerely. ”
Xia Shi didn't speak, just tucked the quilt corner for Chi Zifang in silence, and then held his hand and sat at the head of the bed looking at him.
Chi Zifang gently urged her: "Send someone to call Zijue, and invite the ancestor, father, mother, and eldest brother to ......."
Xia let out a long sigh: "Okay, you can say a few words; You have to talk a lot for a while, and you have to take care of your spirit. The last sentence, it's never too late to say anything, don't hold on if you're tired, you know? ”
Chi Zifang nodded: "I promise you." ”

Zijue got up and ate the richest breakfast she had ever had in her life, and then went back to her room and locked herself up; She wanted to pack up her things, but at this time she suddenly found that the jade pendant that her mother gave her was missing.
She searched the whole room but couldn't find it, and she remembered it clearly, and when she got to the room, she took off the jade pendant because she had to take a bath; She also carefully stuffed the jade pendant into the baggage, if it was missing, it would have been stolen, and there were not many people who could enter and leave her house.
Dare to steal from her head, don't you know that she is the elder sister who stole the child?! She stood up and opened the door, almost colliding with Mo Chou.
Mo Chou saw that the look on Zi Jue's face was wrong, but he didn't ask a word: "Big girl, the lord and the lady sent someone to invite the girl over." ”
Zijue was angry when she thought of meeting Chi Fang, it was impossible not to go, Chi Zifang said that she still had something to say to her; However, she could guess some of Chi Zifang's words, but she still couldn't figure out what Chi Zifang was going to let her do.
rushed to Chi Zifang's yard, Zi Jue was directly led to Chi Zifang's bed; The Xia family was naturally by Chi Zifang's side, and now that Zi Jue knew who the Xia family was, he naturally couldn't help but be polite.
Of course she doesn't like Xia, there is no reason that just because she is Chi Zifang's wife, Zijue has every reason to dislike her; But she doesn't care about the things on the surface, the most important thing is to bring her mother and younger siblings, and other things can be discussed.
Zi Jue saluted the Xia family first: "Madam." Then looking at the pool on the bed, she tilted her head: "Father, you don't look as good today as you did yesterday," she added: "You need to pay attention to your body." Her words were not meant to comfort Chi Zifang, but to remind him that he would not live for a few days.
Of course, she didn't want Chi Zifang or Xia to hear it, so she said it as if she cared about Chi Zifang.
Chi Zifang coughed twice: "I told you that my sick days are numbered. Zijue, sit down; As for what has happened to you, I will seek justice for you, and now I will talk about the most important things at the moment. ”
Zi Jue knew very well what Chi Zifang said was important, but it was important to him and the Xia family: "Say it, you didn't finish it yesterday." ”
"Zi Jue, I originally had a son and a daughter, they are twin sons, they are both ten years old this year, and they are cute, smart and clever; Chi Zifang was full of fatherly love when he mentioned his children, even in front of Zishan, he couldn't help but praise the two children a few words, which showed how much he loved the two children: "However, when they were playing in the lake, they accidentally fell into the water and died. ”
Looking up at Chi Zifang, Zi Jue's expression was a little dumbfounded, not sad but not offensive; But in her heart she was very disdainful: Do you want to show your love? Go find them underground.
When Xia heard Chi Zifang mention his children, he had already cried into tears and fell into Chi Zifang's arms, letting his big hands caress his hair to comfort him.
Chi Zifang took Xia's hand and continued to Zi Jue: "I've been so sick again for a few days, and the incense in our room is about to break; And I can't rest assured of her, it's very hard for a woman to live alone......"
Zi Jue raised her head violently and said astringently: "Yes, it is indeed very hard for a woman to live. She scolded in her heart, you still have the face to tell me what hard work, Xia's hard work? What about the mother who raised her, that is the person who soaked in bitter water!
Chi Zifang met Zi Jue's eyes: "I know you have resentment in your heart, but as you said, without me as a father, you will be sold into the fire kang." The past is between me and your mother, and you don't understand it; And now you are the only child in our second room, so I plan to let you recruit a son-in-law to continue the incense in our second room. ”
"Would you like to?" He looked at Zi Jue's eyes and asked, "In the future, everything in our second room is yours, and recruiting a man to support the door with all you have is much stronger than marrying." When you marry someone and go to someone's house, you have to live by looking at the face of your in-laws. ”
