Chapter 4: Mockery!

Zhong Li smiled lightly, looking at the cuckoo chattering non-stop through the bronze mirror, and thousands of thoughts came like a tide.

In her previous life, in order to protect her reputation, Du Juan did not want to be at the mercy of others, and she was tortured, and she was even more angry at Qinglian and Ye Yang.

Enraged, Ye Yang ordered three hundred lashes, threw the dying cuckoo into the pot, and was bitten to death by a hundred poisons, and in order to relieve the hatred in their hearts, they even hung her body on the city tower for a hundred days. The other cronies who followed her were either beaten to death with a rod or tortured to death, and all ended up tragically.

Thinking of all kinds of past, Zhong Li secretly swore in her heart that since God had given her a chance, she would never let such a thing happen again and make those people pay a heavy price.

In her previous life, she lost her family very early, entered the Blood Rose in order to survive, went through all kinds of hellish tempering, and completed countless perfect tasks, and finally made her stand at the peak of mercenaries and became one of the few mercenary kings.

But he had a sudden accident during a mission, was seriously injured by a stray bullet, and returned to the base camp with great difficulty. And the base camp is already full of corpses. The partners who used to get along day and night became cold corpses, and it took three whole days to bury those dead partners.

The base camp was extremely secretive but was washed in blood, which hit Zhong Li very hard. Just as she was searching for clues on the carpet, there was a slight sound behind her, and before she could react, a sharp pain came from her heart, and she lost consciousness as soon as her eyes went dark. originally thought that he would die with a whimper. But when I woke up, I found that I had already crossed over, and I was in another world, and I became Zhong Li, the eldest daughter of the princess of Zhenguo......

"Miss, you like to look at it like this. The cuckoo asked softly, interrupting Zhong Li's thoughts.

Zhong Li took a closer look at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help but laugh lightly, "It's still the cuckoo who knows me best, and I like to dress up like this." ”

Du Juan heard Zhong Li say that he liked it, and he was very happy in his heart, "Miss is dressed like this, and she is exactly the same as Mrs., and the master will definitely think of Mrs. when he sees it." The pride was all on her face.

Suddenly, she remembered something, frowned slightly, and said worriedly, "However, Miss should also be careful, and don't be deceived by their rhetoric, that Lin mother and daughter are used to pretending." Since the young lady fell from the horse, she was not close to the Lin family, and even gave her face directly. I'm afraid she won't let Miss go tonight. ”

"Don't worry, I won't be deceived by her again, it's not that she won't let me go today, but Miss Ben I won't let them go!" Zhong Li raised his hand to take the cuckoo's hand, and said with a light smile on his face, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning.

The cuckoo looked at the eldest lady in front of him in slight astonishment, and said with a little doubt, "The young lady seems to be different from before?"

"Really, does the cuckoo think this is good or bad?" Zhong Li asked briskly with a warm smile.

Du Juan couldn't help but smile, "No matter what Miss becomes, it's for self-preservation, and now it's naturally the best." If, whatever the lady needs, the cuckoo will definitely advance and retreat with the lady. ”

Hearing Du Juan say this, Zhong Li's heart was moved, no matter in the past life or now, Du Juan is always by his side. This girl has a lively personality but knows how to measure proportions, and she is very good at judging the situation.

"Cuckoo, I was in a mess before, just to protect myself, and I also owe it to you that I never give up. ”

"Miss, if it weren't for Madame, the cuckoo would have been out of human form, and when Madame was alive, Madame and Madame treated me like family and didn't treat me as a subordinate. And the lady passed away suddenly, and the young lady became sometimes perverse, sometimes ......" Speaking of this, the cuckoo was already full of tears, and suddenly realized her gaffe, she immediately wiped away the tears and smiled lightly, "Today is a good day, the cuckoo shouldn't say this to make the young lady sad." ”

Zhong Li took Du Juan's hand and comforted, "It's okay, in this Xinxue Courtyard, we don't distinguish each other, if there is anything wrong, there is no need to be like this." Also, today we will go to the main hall together to participate in this feast. I'm going to see what happens to her. ”

On the main hall, the guests gathered, gathered in twos and threes to talk, and congratulated Zhong Zihong and Lin Yue from time to time, and Zhong Qinghe regarded herself as the concubine of the Zhong Mansion and saluted the guests, and the whole hall seemed to be harmonious. Occasionally, some people talked about it one after another, why they didn't see Zhong Zihong's wife and daughter-in-law, and they all shook their heads secretly, feeling that Zhong Zihong doted on the mother and daughter too much, and ignored the wife and daughter, but on the surface, he was smiling.

The guests in the main hall gathered, the banquet officially began, and they all sat down. At this moment, Zhong Li was wearing a moon-white casual dress with dark flowers, the green silk was curled into a reverse bun, his expression was indifferent and revealing a touch of sadness, and he walked in slowly with a brocade utensil in his hand, and the maid behind him was also dressed in light white, holding a phoenix tail piano, and followed into the distance of half a step behind Zhong Li, this scene all fell in the eyes of all the guests.

Today is the last day of the general's triumphal banquet, and the entire general's palace is decorated with a festive faction, and everyone is dressed in red and green and dressed up brightly to express the joy in their hearts. And Zhong Li's master and servant were dressed in diametrically opposed clothes, which was particularly eye-catching, and the atmosphere of the originally harmonious main hall instantly froze.

"What's going on?"

"This is the concubine of the Zhong Mansion, right?"

"This outfit really has the demeanor of his mother, but why don't you see Mrs. Feng?"

"When the general's class returned to the court, you could see that she and Mrs. Feng? I heard that Mrs. Feng had lost her status, it seems that this is her daughter's surrogate mother who has come to seek justice, this Mrs. Feng has always been humble and polite, how can she do such a foolish thing?"

The whispered exchanges in the main hall all fell into Zhong Li's ears, but her expression was still the same, her lowered eyes slowly raised, looking at the person sitting in the main hall in front of her, evoking a faint smile, "Today is the last day of the banquet, my daughter, as a concubine, was injured by falling from a horse two days ago, so she couldn't come to congratulate her father on her triumph, and asked her father to forgive her daughter for her poor etiquette." As he spoke, he knelt down towards Zhong Zihong, put the utensils in his hand in front of him, and bowed.

"This is a congratulatory gift from a daughter to her father. Zhong Li said and uncovered the brocade, and the utensils under the brocade were finally displayed in front of everyone's eyes, "This utensils were originally a pair, and my father had one." Now that the father has triumphed, the daughter has specially found this thing to congratulate her father, so that this pair of things can be in one place. The substitute object is always a substitute, even if it is richly decorated, but the inferior is always inferior, and it is this object that is worthy of the one in the father's hand. ”

Zhong Zihong looked at the jade in front of him, his eyes were filled with a trace of panic, listening to what his daughter said, for fear that she would make trouble, he ordered, "Li'er, hurry up, there is no need to be like this, your mind is known by your father, come to the table!"
