Chapter 046: Give You a Chance
It was already late at night when I returned to Houfu. Xiao Yan was happy and rested in the study, Xiao Xiyang also returned to his yard, Xiao Xiwei and Xiao Xile and Xiao Xichun walked through the weeping flower gate and walked to the backyard together.
"Xiao Xiwei."
Xiao Xiwei stopped and looked at Xiao Xiwei, and smiled faintly, "Is there anything else to do with my sister?" ”
"Is that jade pendant...... Did you deliberately let me pick it up? Xiao Xile stared at Xiao Xiwei, his face was a little unpleasant.
On the way back, she thought for a long time, the jade pendant of the fourth prince would not fall by her side for no reason, and when she thought about it carefully, she always felt that this matter was inseparable from Xiao Xiwei. She remembered the moment when the emperor gave her marriage, and the fourth prince looked at her cold eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
"What, this jade pendant wasn't given to my sister by His Royal Highness the Fourth?" Xiao Xi feigned surprise slightly.
"......" Xiao Xile was speechless for a while.
Xiao Xi smiled slightly, "By the way, I almost forgot to congratulate my sister on finally getting what she wanted." After that, he walked away without looking back.
In Shuying Xuan, Mama Cui and Biyun were already waiting in the courtyard with the girl. As soon as Xiao Xiwei came in, the girls all over the yard saluted and said congratulations.
"Miss, the slave has prepared hot water, Miss has been busy all day, let's wash and rest." Biyun greeted him with a smile and helped Xiao Xiwei's hand.
"Not busy." Xiao Xi glanced at the girl in the room, and finally fell on Mama Cui, and said lightly, "Everyone else go down, Mama Cui, you and Hongyu come in with me." With that, he went straight into the house.
A pair of candlesticks were lit in the center of the room, and the dim light was projected on Xiao Xiwei, and her face was hidden in the darkness for a long time, looming. As if she hadn't looked at the two people standing in the room, she drank tea by herself.
There was not a sound in the room.
Although Mama Cui is still calm on her face, her heart is already like an ant on a hot pot, standing here, every moment is torment for her.
"Mama, aren't you going to say something to me?" Finally, Xiao Xi's slightly cold voice sounded along with the crisp sound of the teacup on the table.
Mama Cui's heart skipped a beat, and a hundred thousand thoughts flashed in her heart for a while, but in the end, she had to hang her head and whisper, "Miss, what does Miss want the slave to say." ”
Looking at the woman in front of her who was hunched over to herself and brought herself up with one hand, the past events that she had buried deep in her heart surfaced one by one.
She wanted to give her a chance!
It's a pity that she doesn't want to!
At the corner of his lips, a sneer gradually crept up.
A handkerchief suddenly floated to the ground.
When Mama Cui saw the handkerchief, her face changed suddenly, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Doesn't Mama want to explain something to me?"
"Slave, slave doesn't know what Miss is talking about." Mama Cui said in a trembling voice.
At this point, she still wants to quibble.
"Red Rain, you can say it." The last bit of soft-heartedness was finally exhausted, and Xiao Xiwei was too lazy to talk to her anymore.
For Mama Cui's repeated betrayal, Hongyu is also very cold.
"Mama, Miss's handkerchief has been soaked in poinsettia juice, although the wound on Miss's forehead is healed, but the newly grown meat is delicate, if it is stained with this magenta juice, it will be allergic and the face will be red and swollen, and it will be ......" Hongyu stared at Mama Cui and did not say any more.
Hongyu's words made Cui Mama feel cold on her back, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, the slave is wronged, the slave doesn't know about this!" As she spoke, her tears fell, "The slave knows that the slave has betrayed Miss, but the young lady is still the same as the slave and the maid regardless of the past suspicions, and the slave and the maid have always been in her heart, how can you do such a heartless thing!" ”
"Feeling in your heart?" Xiao Xiwei looked at the dancing candle flame on the table, and suddenly sneered a few times, "It turns out that Mama has such feelings for me!" Since Mama said that you didn't do it, then who did it? ”
Cui Mama quickly went over the girl who was alienated from Xuan, and finally quickly spit out two words, "Purple smoke." ”
"Purple smoke?"
"Yes, it must be purple smoke! Miss's clothes are all kept by her, and she must have made them! "Mama Cui seems to have grasped a life-saving straw.
Xiao Xi turned his face slightly to look at Mama Cui, like looking at the clown on the stage, looking at it, he couldn't help but laugh.
When she smiled, Mama Cui's face quickly turned white.
"Yes, Ziyan is a second-class girl who has risen up, and she is in charge of my clothes, she is indeed the most suspicious. But, Mama, can you tell me why she drugged me and put it on the veil if she wanted to harm me? Wouldn't it be better to go down to the clothes I wear? ”
"Perhaps...... Maybe she was afraid that the young lady would find out? ”
"Then according to Mama's meaning, I can't notice it when I go down to the handkerchief?" Xiao Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, the smile on the corner of her lips gradually narrowed, she stared at Grandma Cui's eyes, and her voice became cold, "Last time, that wild cat suddenly jumped out and scratched my face, is it because of the smell of fat powder on my body." ”
Mama Cui trembled, as if she had been struck by lightning, and her face quickly darkened.
Finished.
Finished.
This time it's completely over.
"She taught you to come to me and confess your betrayal, right? Deflect my attention with a serious injury, and then smuggle my fat powder out, so that the wild cat can smell my fat powder every day, so that the beast can ruin my face. Isn't it? ”
Mama Cui looked at Xiao Xiwei's beautiful and cold face, only to feel full of horror and tremble uncontrollably.
She, how could she know so clearly?
"Just because I don't say it doesn't mean I don't know...... Mama, I want to give you a chance, even, I have ordered someone to send your son to Jinxiufang so that he can follow Ah Liang as an apprentice, but ......" Xiao Xiwei slowly walked in front of Mama Cui and lowered her eyes to look at her, and a trace of mist gradually floated in her clear eyes, "Mama, why do you betray me again and again!" ”
"Miss...... The slave is wrong. The slave really knew that she was wrong this time! Beg Miss to give the slave another chance......" Mama Cui hurriedly grabbed Xiao Xiwei's skirt legs, and tears poured out.
Xiao Xi squatted down slightly, reached out and broke Cui's hand little by little, "Mama, there are some things, but they are indispensable." ”
"No...... Miss, the slave really knew that she was wrong this time! Miss, please give the slave another chance......" Mama Cui lay on the ground and still refused to give up.
Xiao Xi smiled coldly, "Do you think I'm a fool." After that, she didn't look at Mama Cui again, turned around and walked to the inner room.
"Miss, the slave is willing to come out and testify against Madame." Behind him, Mama Cui's resolute voice rang out.
The corners of Xiao Xi's lips gradually curled into a sneer, and she turned her face to look at Mama Cui, "Mama, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
Mama Cui looked at Xiao Xiwei, and finally gritted her teeth, "The slave knows." ”
So far, she can't escape death left and right, not to mention, now that the sea is already in Miss's hands, whether she is alive or dead is Miss's words. Besides, compared to Madame, Miss still at least misses her a little bit of old affection......
"The slave maid only asks the young lady to take good care of the sea for the slave maid." Mama Cui straightened up and kowtowed three times to Xiao Xi.
Looking at the absolute clarity in Cui's eyes, Xiao Xi's eyes moved slightly, and finally nodded, "He is not wrong, I will protect him thoroughly." ”
After getting Xiao Xiwei's promise, Mama Cui finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Xiao Xiwei, her eyes that had just dried up had another layer of mist, she gritted her teeth, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Slave I'm sorry Miss, in the future, Miss should take care of herself in the future, be careful of Mrs. and Second Miss...... That's it, the slave maid didn't disturb the young lady's rest. As she spoke, she bowed down and kowtowed to Xiao Xi slightly, then got up and staggered out.
Xiao Xi watched Mama Cui walk out of the room indifferently, and then gradually disappeared into the night.
"Miss." Red Rain called in a low voice.
Xiao Xi turned his face slightly to look at Hongyu, and the corners of his lips hooked, "Do you think I'm sad?" ”
Hongyu looked at Xiao Xiwei and didn't snort.
"You're wrong, I'm not sad, I'm happy! She is to blame for all this! I can't feel sorry for such a person. Xiao Xi glanced at Hongyu coldly, then turned around and entered the inner room.
Hongyu looked at Xiao Xiwei's back and sighed very lightly in her heart.
Miss, if you are not upset, why do you say so much to me?
Slowly sinking himself into the water, the steaming water vapor filled, and everything in the room seemed to be covered with a veil, blurred.
The hand, unconsciously and gently, went down, and finally stroked it on his flat lower abdomen.
There, once lived, a small life. She looked forward to him coming into the world every day, imagining what he was like, imagining him growing up day by day, laughing at her, crying at her, stretching out her pink little hands to her, and calling her mother sweetly......
But......
"Aren't you happy?" A deep voice suddenly sounded overhead.
Xiao Xiwei recovered from her grief, she raised her head and looked up in a panic.
A figure slowly floated down from the beam.
"You...... You, when did you come in! Seeing the visitor, Xiao Xi was slightly flustered, but her clothes were hanging on the screen, she could only wrap her hands around her chest, and her face, which was originally steaming red, became more and more red.
The person who came was dressed in black, his face was still covered with a black veil, and his exposed eyes looked dark and deep through the steaming mist. With a slight movement of his hand, the clothes resting on the screen automatically floated towards Xiao Xi and covered her body.
"I heard that today the emperor gave the marriage to Miss Xiao Er and the Seventh Prince, so I came to congratulate her. However, just looking at Miss Xiao Er's appearance, she didn't seem to be happy? ”
Xiao Xi's eyes moved slightly, and he stretched out his hand to wrap his clothes indiscriminately, "Does that have anything to do with you?" ”
"Does it have anything to do with me? Oh, of course it has something to do with me! Don't you know that I like you? ”
Xiao Xi was slightly stunned, and his cheeks became hotter and hotter, "You, you go out first." ”
The man in black pursed his lips, looked at Xiao Xi's slightly red cheeks, and unconsciously smiled a little in his eyes, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside." With that, he lifted his leg and stepped out.
