Chapter 13: The Sea
Chu Jiu suddenly felt like a lit cannonball, and he was about to explode again.
Steward Zhao said politely as if he hadn't seen it: "Miss Nine, the younger one is the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, and I am ordered by the city lord to move for Miss Thirteen, please lend a step." ”
Chu Jiu's mind was full of panic of "Thirteen complained to Daddy", she stretched out her hand and said, "I didn't hurt her, she stabbed me with scissors!"
But the little hand was white and smooth, and there was a little red mark on the back of the hand.
Fanxing smeared enough elixir on the scissors that stabbed Chu Jiu, and it would heal in a quarter of an hour without leaving a trace, which would only make her suffer enough and lose face in front of Steward Zhao, which would annoy her father. His heart was gloating, but his face was full of guilt, and he said, "Sister Jiu, I'm really sorry, Uncle Housekeeper said that the elixir can cure your hand." ”
Steward Zhao shook his head and ignored it, his hand was not even broken and he could use the elixir, and this ninth lady was too domineering.
Chu Jiu pointed at the stars and shouted, "You, you, you're a monster!"
There is a saying that "where there is oppression, there is resistance", the more the city lord's wife suppressed, the more deeply the rumors about the second lady being ghosted became popular, and it exploded in case of fire. Because of the arrival of Steward Zhao, I don't know how many eyes and ears there are outside the courtyard at this time, I believe that Chu Jiu's performance will soon reach the ears of the city lord's wife, and she will feel good at that time.
Steward Zhao's face remained unchanged, and his eyes shuttled between the two young ladies.
Fanxing's expression was ignorant, but he thought in his heart that it was indeed the case.
Her "coincidental" encounter with her cheap father was a favor from the Xuanwu Gang, and her purpose was twofold. The first is to save Liu Zhen and bring Xiao Han and "Qiong Fang" to the surface; the second is to attract Chu Mingzhao's attention, she is not afraid that she will also become a suspect, because no matter how they investigate, they will only conclude that she is Miss Thirteen, and it will also eliminate the possibility of being used to make a fuss in the future. And during this period of suspicion, she will try her best to get Chu Mingzhao's favor.
So far, the plan is perfect. always thought that he didn't need to explain anything to the stars, and the tears rolled without saying a word, but the eyes were clearly saying "I'm guilty, you can say anything".
Chu Jiu was terrified.
Is this still the stupid thirteen she knew? No, she's not, she must have been caught by demons like the eldest sister and second sister! She was well-informed and knew that the lockdown was due to the demons of the chaotic sea. It turns out that they are hiding in the mansion and hiding from their sisters, maybe the people in the mansion are all monsters!
thought she knew the "truth", but she didn't dare to reveal anything anymore, her face was flushed, and she ran away.
Steward Zhao only thinks she is at a loss.
The stars have nothing to clean up, except for the box, and there are only little turtles.
Steward Zhao had already searched the entire courtyard with his divine sense and found no abnormalities, but he had a deeper understanding of the city lord's wife's harshness towards Miss Thirteen, looking at the thin star, he felt that she was really pitiful, and said in a gentle tone: "Miss Thirteen, Linglongtai has everything, and these old clothes don't need to be cleaned up." ”
Fanxing is just for show, after all, she changed her core, of course she doesn't want to wear other people's clothes, so she nodded obediently, "Hmm." ”
Steward Zhao took her little baggage, his eyes fell on the wooden bowl and the little turtle she was holding, he didn't see anything abnormal, and asked, "This is your pet?"
The starry eyes sparkled, and he said seriously: "It's my partner." The fish and birds in the yard are my friends!"
Steward Zhao then thought that she had been locked up in this small courtyard since she was born, and it was a miracle that she could survive, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll let you move your friends to Linglongtai in a while, there is a big lake there." ”
Chu Jiu hid behind the wall and listened to their conversation word for word, but he didn't know that this scene fell in the eyes of Steward Zhao, and she had been labeled as "uneducated".
Seeing the two of them go to the front yard, she was so jealous that her eyes were red, and she said, "It must be a bewitching monster, even my father has been deceived." ”
At this time, there was a sound of "wheeling and turning" behind him, and a girl in yellow sat in a wheelchair, looking at the two backs, and her eyes looked like a stone was thrown into the calm lake, making waves and quickly disappearing.
She is the sixth lady Chu Yizhi, her congenital frailty does not affect her beauty, adding a touch of softness and delicacy, like the pear blossom that blooms first in spring, seemingly slender but full of vitality. Seeing his sister's movements, Moth frowned lightly and said, "Wushuang, what are you looking at?"
Ninth Miss Chu Wushuang saw that her sister suddenly had a backbone, and said, "Father asked Thirteen to move to Linglong Terrace!"
Chu Yizhi said lightly: "Do you know that Steward Zhao is a monk, and you can't hide it from him at all from your little actions just now?"
Chu Wushuang stiffened his neck and said, "So what, he's just a subordinate!"
Chu Yizhi shook his head and said, "But he is also a housekeeper under one person and above ten thousand." His impression of you determines your image with your father. She beckoned to her sister and said, "Don't say anything about Thirteen is a youkai, she's not." ”
"She is!" Chu Wushuang said like a cat with its tail stepped on.
"She has seen her father," Chu Yizhi said, her eyes deepened, and she said, "Thirteen, she hides it so deeply, you are not her opponent." ”
"Just her?" Chu Wushuang jumped again, eager to chase after him and roll up his sleeves to do it again.
Chu Yizhi glanced at the red marks on her sister's hand and said, "You'd better be honest when you see her in the future, otherwise you will only suffer the loss." She looked up at the sky and looked with some envy at the white cranes chasing through the clouds.
Thirteen escaped, but she alone couldn't defeat the city lord's wife, if she added herself and her sister...... Thinking of this, she shook her head, something big will happen in the house soon, so let's wait and see.
...
Fanxing didn't put Chu Liu, Chu Jiu and the nine sisters in her eyes, her goal was the sea of stars, who was impatient to fight with them, even the city lord's wife was just a background board in her eyes, as long as she hugged Chu Mingzhao's thighs, they were all floating clouds.
She has short calves, and after walking for a while, she is out of breath, so she can only grit her teeth and persevere. Steward Zhao raised his sleeves and released a bird about the same height as her. The white-haired and red-crowned crane looks like a red-crowned crane, but why does it have wings and four legs?
Said innocently: "This is a spirit beast? It looks so strange?" She just noticed that the burden she had carried for Steward Zhao before was gone, and she knew that he had put it in the storage bag, and she still swirled around his shoulders with curiosity.
Steward Zhao smiled, patted the purse on his waist and said, "This is the storage bag, Miss's burden is here, you will know later." "Hugged her on the back of the bird, "This is a quacking bird, not a spirit animal, but it can fly and run, and the children in Xiancheng use it to travel." ”
