Chapter 84: The humiliation in front of the Shangshu Mansion
Xi Qingyan didn't take his father's words seriously.
Because she knew that if Xi Chuyu could marry Su Yiting as the princess in the next moment, her father Lord Xi would definitely not say a word, and directly chose to betray her and leave the sky with King Li.
This is her father's truest face.
"Chun Tao, send someone to follow Madame and Second Miss to see how they go to the household department to apologize."
"Yes, Miss!"
After Chun Tao led the order, she followed Mrs. Shangshu and Xi Chuyu to the Hubu Shangshu Mansion.
This household department Shangshu Mansion has always walked sideways in Kyoto, so when Mrs. Shangshu took Xi Chuyu to the door, the people from the household department directly asked Xi Chuyu's mother and daughter to wait in the cold wind.
Originally, Xi Chuyu was beaten, and he supported his body all the way and brought a red sandalwood brocade box to apologize, which made Xi Chuyu extremely aggrieved in his heart.
I didn't expect the Hubu Shangshu Mansion to look down on people and turn them away directly!
"Mother, why do we let others insult us here?"
Xi Chuyu didn't know that his father had already given an order to her mother, just that all this was her mother's willful behavior.
"The Hubu Shangshu Mansion didn't take your daughter and mother in your eyes, so why should we humiliate ourselves here? Mother, I'm dead from my wounds, let's go home?"
Xi Chuyu was beaten by the people in the house, although those people showed mercy and didn't dare to really take her life, but Xi Chuyu had a lot of pain at all.
"Shut up!"
Mrs. Shangshu was annoyed when she heard Xi Chuyu chattering these words in her ear.
"Did you know that our mother and daughter are where they are today because you are so stupid? Do you know that there are some people in Kyoto who can't be provoked?"
In front of outsiders, Mrs. Shangshu usually defends her daughter Xi Chuyu.
But what Xi Chuyu did this time really disappointed her!
"When you left Wutong Garden, you swore to me that you said that you could persuade His Highness Su Yiting, and then use His Highness Su Yiting's hand to bring down Xi Qingyan!"
"Look at what you've done since you tricked me into staying in Sycamore for you?"
"You're swaggering around the market? Do you know that I've been waiting for news from you all this time?"
"If you're just hanging out, why do you want to provoke that unforgiving woman from the Zhou family?"
Xi Chuyu's actions made Mrs. Shangshu unable to bear it any longer!
"Since you were a child, I have taken you to so many banquets and met so many powerful people, why can't you learn from them?"
Mrs. Shangshu poured her life's work into Xi Chuyu.
She tried hard to train Xi Chuyu into a famous lady praised by everyone in Kyoto, but the result was so disappointing for her!
"Good scolding! Mrs. Xi, you now finally know how muddy your daughter is that can't hold up the wall!"
Before Xi Chuyu could speak, the door of the Household Shangshu Mansion opened from the inside.
Zhou took his daughter Li Jiaojiao out of the mansion and taunted Xi Chuyu's mother and daughter.
"If you had seen that your daughter was a complete piece of shit, you wouldn't be where you are today."
"You're ......!!"
When Xi Chuyu heard Zhou's words, he immediately became angry.
She has always been the second lady of the noble Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, but now this Zhou clan actually scolded her in front of her for being a waste!
Xi Chuyu felt that she had come to apologize in person, giving enough face to the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and it was too much for the other party to be so unrelenting!
"What are you? Xi Chuyu, is it wrong for my mother to scold you? You don't look at how many embarrassing things you've done in Kyoto these days!"
Li Jiaojiao was single-handedly trained and raised by the Zhou family, and her own temperament is not only rude and willful, but also very pungent and spicy.
As soon as she saw that Xi Chuyu was not convinced, she angrily scolded Xi Chuyu.
"What do you think my Li Jiaojiao's jewelry can be worn by anyone? Xi Chuyu, you don't deserve to give me Li Jiaojiao's shoes! Even wishful thinking of possessing my things!"
Li Jiaojiao, as a famous lady in Kyoto, would not take Xi Chuyu's mother and daughter in her eyes at all.
In her opinion, the appearance of Xi Chuyu's mother and daughter this time is tantamount to self-inflicted humiliation!
「……!」
「……!」
Li Jiaojiao's mother and daughter's words made Xi Chuyu and Mrs. Shangshu on the side stunned, but fortunately, Mrs. Shangshu knew that this matter was very important, so she forcibly held back her grievances, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and handed it to Li Jiaojiao with a brocade box in both hands.
"This matter is indeed my daughter's mistake, today I will bring her, as well as this red sandalwood brocade box to the door to apologize, Miss Li, Mrs. Li, please have a lot of you, you will spare my daughter this time."
"Spared? Mrs. Xi, are you really speaking lightly?"
Mrs. Li retorted with a sneer.
"My daughter will be the princess of the county soon, and now, the dowry she set was touched by your daughter Xi Chuyu first, do you think I can forgive you for this matter?"
"I just took it with my hand, and I didn't put this pair on! Don't talk nonsense here and play with my hat on my head!"
Xi Chuyu retorted aggressively to Li Jiaojiao's mother and daughter, and was very dissatisfied.
"Mrs. Xi, look, you feel that you have done something wrong, but unfortunately, your daughter doesn't think she has done wrong, since you and your mother and daughter have not even explained what is right or wrong, why don't I give your mother and daughter some time, and when you find out for yourself whether you are wrong or not, you can come to my house again!"
Mrs. Zhou sneered and sneered.
"It's just that good things are approaching in our Hubu Shangshu Mansion now, if you come to the door next time, I'm afraid I won't necessarily have time to see you!"
When Xi Chuyu's mother heard this, she reached out and slapped Xi Chuyu directly!
"Smack!"
"Mother, why did you beat me?"
Xi Chuyu thought that she could go back to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites with her mother, but she didn't expect to be slapped directly by her mother.
"Don't talk anymore! Xi Chuyu, you just need to listen to me as a mother today!"
Xi Chuyu was reprimanded by her mother like this, and she was directly stunned in place, and Li Jiaojiao, who looked at the clear slap marks on Xi Chuyu's face, smiled very happily.
Anyway, they're going to go out and have fun!
Xi Chuyu's mother saw the smiling presumptuous Li Jiaojiao mother and daughter, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth to endure everything.
She knows that there is no way back for her today.
If she can't get the forgiveness of the Household Shoshu Mansion, she will most likely not be the wife of the Rite Shoshu Mansion again!
She finally got to where she is today, and she doesn't want to go back to the precarious and poor days of the past!
"Mrs. Li, Miss Li, I led Xi Chuyu today just to ask for the understanding of the two of you, no matter what conditions you propose, I will work hard to achieve them."
"Well, Mrs. Xi didn't expect you to be so happy! In that case, I won't waste any more time with you here, so let's open the skylight and talk to you!"
Zhou was very happy when he saw Mrs. Xi's rare soft confession.
"My conditions are also simple, this first one, you need to go to the best jewelry store in Kyoto, and use 10,000 taels to pick a new set of jewelry for my daughter Li Jiaojiao, remember, if you dare to fool me, Mrs. Ben can definitely make you unable to gain a foothold in Kyoto!"
Zhou's conditions, the first one will kill Xi Chuyu's mother.
The only deed in her hand now has been mortgaged to Xi Qingyan and exchanged for silver to buy this red sandalwood brocade box.
She didn't have any more money to spare at the moment.
"What? Is this condition difficult for me? You're the lady of the Shangshu Mansion of the Imperial Rite Department, so you can't even take out a mere 10,000 taels?"
Zhou deliberately sarcastic.
She is well aware of Xi Chuyu's mother's current status in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, the Zhou family
It is to ask the lion to open his mouth wide, lie and love the vain Mrs. Xi.
"Good...... I promise you."
Xi Chuyu's mother struggled for a long time, and when she heard Zhou's words, she finally gritted her teeth and agreed.
They can think of other ways to deal with the problem of money, and the most important thing at the moment is that her position as Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites cannot be lost.
"Mother!?"
Xi Chuyu felt that her mother must be crazy!
Their mother and daughter are now clear, where are they going to get these ten thousand taels?
"Shut up! There's no place for you to interject!"
Mrs. Xi didn't say a word, stopped her daughter Xi Chuyu, and then gave Xi Chuyu a knife.
"Mrs. Li, is it possible that as long as I prepare 10,000 taels, you will be able to forgive my daughter for what she did today?"
"Madame Xi, what great good thing are you thinking? I just mentioned one!"
How could the Zhou family easily let go of Xi Chuyu's mother and daughter?
In the past, at the banquet, Xi Chuyu's mother had been secretly belittling her, and when she got to her, she had a flattering face.
Xi Chuyu's mother thought that she was slandering her in front of other noble ladies, so she couldn't find out?
Today, Zhou's wants to settle the new accounts and the old accounts together!
"Good...... You keep mentioning it."
Mrs. Xi gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smile.
"My second condition, that is, you and your daughter will kowtow to me and my daughter three times in front of everyone today, in front of my Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and whenever you meet me or see my daughter in the future, you must immediately get out of the dust!"
Zhou said the request in a cold voice.
She watched Xi Chuyu's mother and daughter have a hard look on their faces.
"If you can do these two things, I can try to forgive your mother and daughter for what they did today."
"Don't you think!"
Xi Chuyu blurted out.
"I say unto you, don't deceive too much."
Xi Chuyu has grown so big, except for her parents, she has never kowtowed to anyone else, and now the Zhou family wants to humiliate her in front of so many people?
"Xi Chuyu, there is no place for you to speak here! If you want to live a good life in Kyoto, then kneel down and kowtow!"
Li Jiaojiao saw that Xi Chuyu was disrespectful to her mother Zhou again, and she was angry.
Mrs. Shangshu looked at the mother and daughter on the high platform, and finally chose to kneel.
"Mother?!"
Xi Chuyu originally wanted to rush forward and tear Li Jiaojiao apart, but she didn't expect her mother beside her to directly pull her to her knees.
"Mrs. Li, Miss Li, I'm sorry."
Xi Chuyu's mother gritted her teeth and kowtowed to Li Jiaojiao's mother and daughter to apologize, seeing that her mother was being bullied, Xi Chuyu couldn't wait to kill the arrogant Li family's mother and daughter.
"Xi Chuyu, don't make a mistake!"
"Your father was lightly dismissed by Xi Xi, and he said that if you and I can't get forgiveness from the Li family today, we will move to Zhuangzi in the countryside to live!"
Mrs. Xi saw Xi Chuyu kneeling beside her with her neck bent, as long as she told her the truth.
"Xi Chuyu, do you still want to continue to be the second lady of Shangshu Mansion?"
As soon as these words came out, all Xi Chuyu's arrogance was clean, and she numbly kowtowed to Li Jiaojiao's mother and daughter to apologize like her mother.
In his heart, he had a murderous intent towards Xi Qingyan.
