Chapter 18: Yuan Jie is beaten

"Let the fourth sister out, the fourth sister made a mistake, but the punishment was also punished, and she was locked up for so many days, just forgive her." Yuan Xi glanced sideways at Ju Xiang, her expression was a little complicated, put down the plate, and hurried out of the room.

The old lady's smile gradually dissipated, and she looked at Yuan Xi with some worry: "You bought these things with your own money, right?

The old lady's expression made Yuan Xi stunned. She had already calculated that the old mother in charge of the ancestral hall would tell the old lady about the dim sum, and then Yuan Jie's image in the old lady's heart would be a little more cheeky. In this way, her goal has been achieved, so why not do it? But the old lady's reaction was indeed something that Wonxi didn't expect anyway.

Aunt Yu was also confused, looked at Yuan Xi with some concern, and asked the old lady again: "The third girl is also too soft-hearted, don't be angry, Yuan Xi and the fourth girl have a good relationship, isn't it a good thing?"

The old lady took off the bracelet and put it in the box and said solemnly: "There are three Zheng mothers, and only Yuan Yue is sensible. Yuan Jie's appearance today is all badly taught by the Zheng family. You don't know what kind of Zheng gave to the three girls this afternoon, and even the guys laughed at it. At night, she has to spend money on Yuan Xi to beg for her daughter. After all, she is also an elder, and she calculates the money on the head of a child, she is really good at wishful thinking!"

Yuan Xi was shocked, the afternoon incident was only a few guys in the store, how did the old lady know? Could it be that the old lady had already planted her eyes and ears in the store? So, aren't her previous words and deeds in the eyes of the old lady? Yuan Xi was weak for a while, and asked weakly: "Grandmother, how do you know this?"

The old lady didn't notice Yuan Xi's panic, and replied lightly: "Which courtyard in the house I don't know?"

Aunt Yu couldn't laugh a little, she already knew that the Zheng family loved to take advantage, but thinking that she was serving her with a husband, and some words should not be said by her, so she said: "Old lady, Sister Zheng is afraid that she is also weak, so I asked the third girl, you can see that she loves her daughter's heart, don't worry about her." ”

Yuan Xi breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that the information came from Aunt Zheng's side, and the old lady's eyes and ears were not her four buddies. Fortunately, he is not a pawnshop, otherwise it would be another trouble.

It is not surprising to think about it this way, the old lady usually likes to act thoughtfully and easily, but Aunt Zheng is a clandestine and calculating master. If she has no children and no daughters, it will be fine, but she gave birth to two young ladies, and she can't drive them away, and it will be annoying to stay. The old lady has always hated her calculations, and this time she actually calculated on the juniors, no wonder the old lady was so angry,

The old lady indignantly accused Yuan Xi and said: "She is really sincere, this money should be paid by herself, even if she gives one or twenty taels, it is a piece of heart." A screen of five dollars of silver also has a face, and she is still an aunt! Why are you spending this unjust money?"

Yuan Xi lowered her head and didn't speak, Aunt Yu hurriedly pulled Yuan Xi aside, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Old lady, the third girl is soft-hearted, you know, even if Sister Zheng doesn't ask her, she will intercede with the fourth girl." Besides, don't blame the third girl for this, you can't let her give gifts with kindness, and you will be blamed, right? You see, the three girls are about to shed tears when they are wronged. ”

The old lady also felt that she had indeed found the wrong person to vent, so she sighed: "You said this is a trouble, come on, let's eat."

"Grandmother, I promised the fourth sister, you can let her out, we will punish her, and the fourth sister also knows that it is wrong, so you can let her out." Won-hee took the old lady's hand and looked at her expectantly.

Aunt Yu also responded: "Yes, old lady, you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, just for the sake of the third girl, let Yuan Jie out." ”

Yuan Xi is the concubine in the house, if she comes to intercede and will not let go, it is inevitable that someone will say some nonsense about Yuan Xi's status shake. Even if you don't want to, you have to give her some face. The old lady finally hummed reluctantly and told Ju Xiang to go to the ancestral hall to release people. Yuan Xi smiled: "Good grandmother, I know that you love me the most." ”

Coming out of the old lady, Aunt Yu saw that Yuan Xi didn't look energetic, so she was relieved: "Don't worry about it, the old lady is not angry at you, but she doesn't like the character of Zheng and Yuan Jie too much." ”

Yuan Xi nodded: "Auntie, don't worry, I understand." ”

The two walked along the cobblestone path and chatted as they went. Aunt Yu pondered for a moment: "Actually, the old lady is a little angry, she is worried that you are too soft-hearted and easy to be held hostage and used." Just like today, as soon as the Zheng family begged you with false affection, you spent so much silver to intercede for them. If you do the same outside, you will suffer a big loss. ”

Yuan Xi stopped, his eyes rolled around, and he smiled slyly: "Does my aunt also think that I have suffered a loss?"

"I don't understand that. Aunt Yu also stopped and looked at Yuan Xi in surprise.

Yuan Jie thought that she had taken advantage of five taels of silver, but she didn't know that she had lost her reputation. Aunt Zheng thought that she didn't spend a penny and asked me to intercede for Yuan Jie, but she didn't know that she suddenly became famous because of greed, and even the guys in my pawnshop were laughing at her. Yuan Xi blinked: "The gift is a love, but this love is completely my own, and it has nothing to do with Aunt Zheng, you won't thank Aunt Zheng for giving you a hairpin, let alone grandmother." So, I really don't understand, where did I suffer?"

After listening to Yuanxi, Aunt Yu looked at Yuanxi eating, and then she came back to her senses, as if this was the truth. She couldn't help but shake her head: "Third girl, the old lady just said that the four girls are shrewd, it turns out that you are the most shrewd." ”

Aunt Yu suddenly stopped talking, Yuan Xi followed her gaze, and it was Yuan Jieqi who ran over. Before Yuan Xi could speak, Yuan Jie had already pushed Yuan Xi to the ground, Aunt Yu had never seen a young lady from any one family so spicy and savage, and she was stunned for a while. Looking at Yuan Jie again, she had already choked Yuan Xi's neck, and Aunt Yu hurriedly came to pull the rack: "Fourth girl, what are you doing here, the third girl finally begged the old lady to let you out, why did you treat her like this?"

Aunt Yu pulled Yuan Jie's arm and pulled her aside, helped Yuan Xi up, and dusted the snow off Yuan Xi's body with a handkerchief. Yuan Jie's eyes were red, and she was aggrieved: "You ask her, don't you just eat a little bit of your broken snack?"

Yuan Xi sneered: "Fourth sister, I haven't said anything. Besides, if you want to ask for it, are you afraid that people will know?"

Aunt Yu knew that Yuan Jie was a master who did not distinguish between green and red, but she also had to persuade: "Fourth Miss, don't be too careful, my sister bought a snack for my sister to eat, this is an ordinary thing, and it's not a bad thing." Maybe it was the maid who came in with a snack and was seen, and asked casually, this is not a big deal. ”

"It's not a big deal?!" Yuan Jie stared at her already small eyes, and her voice was as high-pitched as an angry rooster: "Yes, she's not a big deal, what about me?!Who thinks about me? It's not for the sake of my own reputation, I don't care about other people's reputation?!"

Yuan Xi proudly flicked the snowflakes on his sleeves: "My reputation is not bad, do I still need a good reputation? Fourth sister, how can there be a perfect thing in this world, and you want profit and fame? You can't take advantage of everything alone, right?"

"You just did it on purpose, don't think that your concubine and my mother are afraid of you, you kind of person who has a father and no mother, isn't it just relying on the old lady? The old lady can still protect you for a few days? What's wrong with beating you? At most, it's Guan Ancestral Hall, I'm not done with you!" Yuan Jie said and rushed up to tear Yuan Xi's clothes. Aunt Yu couldn't hold it alone, so she had to call someone as a last resort.

"You stop me! You brute who doesn't know what to do!" Before we met, I heard it first, Wei Dongshu strode to the meteor, and before he stood still, he gave Yuan Jie a slap in the face, and the slap was strong, and Yuan Jie turned around twice before falling to the ground.

Won-hee hurriedly knelt down.

"What do you kneel, get up and talk back. Wei Dongshu pulled Yuan Xi from the ground behind him.

Yuan Jie was slapped suddenly, her heart was aggrieved, and she called her father with a crying voice. But he couldn't arouse a trace of pity in Wei Dongshu's heart, he only lightly reprimanded: "Don't call me dad, I don't have a daughter like you!"

Although Yuan Jie was born black, Wei Dongshu's slap mark still flushed on her face, presumably this slap was not light. Aunt Yu couldn't bear it, although Yuan Jie was not good, she was still a child in the end, so she comforted: "Master, you dissipate your anger, although the fourth girl is not sensible, she is still a child in the end, you teach her slowly, she will improve." ”

Wei Dongshu turned his back on his hand, let out a long sigh of relief, and asked in a low voice, "Yuan Jie, stand up and tell me." What did you say about your third sister just now?

Yuan Jie rubbed her hot cheeks, lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, and secretly raised her head to observe Wei Dongshu's expression. Caught off guard and slapped him again, Yuan Jie burst into tears, and could only rub his face and get up. There were several slaps from the left and right sides one after another, Yuan Jie's cheeks were flushed, and the corners of his mouth were oozing bloodshots.

Wei Dongshu shook his right hand, and he also had a pain in his hand from these slaps. Seeing that Yuan Jie didn't mean to beg for mercy, Wei Dongshu asked coldly: "Who do you listen to such nonsense as having a father and not having a mother? What do you mean when you say that the old lady won't live for a few years? You say?" Wei Dongshu was a little sad, he never thought that he would beat his daughter, let alone that his daughter would be so vulgar and barbaric!

Yuan Jie lowered her head and did not speak. As for the old lady's words, although she thought so, she didn't know how to explain it to her father.
