Chapter 111: Rumors
"Did you hear that? Mrs. Zhao was beaten by Miss Linghua. Maid A said to Maid B.
"Is this really the case?" Maid B looked surprised, as if she didn't quite believe it.
"It's true, it was the maid next to Mrs. Zhao who said it, yesterday Miss Linghua went to find Mrs. Zhao, locked Mrs. Zhao in the room, and pushed her to the corner of the table, and Mrs. Zhao bled a lot on her forehead. β
"Ah, Mrs. Zhao is so good, and Miss Linghua is too much, relying on the favor of the lord, she actually bullied the lord's wife. She hasn't married the lord yet, so she is so arrogant and domineering, so if she becomes the ninth lady in the future, won't she be a prestige?"
"Hey, it's really not worth it for Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao just finished helping Miss Linghua in that matter, and Miss Linghua actually took revenge, not to say that Mrs. Zhao and the Li family were in the same group, and there was no evidence, so she started beating her. Maiden A continued.
Maid B whispered to Maid A: "Eh, do you know that Mrs. Zhao has a strange illness?"
"What's weird?"
"I also heard from others, although Mrs. Zhao is a demon, but she is different from other demons, she will not heal by herself if she is injured, she has to rely on foreign treatment to do it, and her first-class blood will flow a lot, and she can't stop it. I wonder if it's going to leave a scar?"
"No wonder Mrs. Zhao was so busy yesterday. But it seems that the lord didn't blame Miss Linghua! You said that Miss Linghua wouldn't know that Mrs. Zhao was like this, did she?"
"Who knows!" said you, maids, word by word.
............ The rumors in the netherworld are still fermenting, Ling Huayin has heard people talking about her and Zhao Ji more than once, Solan is right, sure enough, as long as there are women, there are many rights and wrongs. This time she saw it. She didn't understand why Zhao Ji slandered her, she obviously didn't do anything, and now the entire netherworld thinks that she caused Zhao Ji to be like this, she really can't explain it, and everyone is looking at Zhao Ji, all of them praise her for her kindness and generosity, as if she is a wicked person.
Ling Huayin felt so wronged, although Jiuxiao didn't say a word to her, and she didn't pursue the matter, but it was this attitude of ignoring it that made her feel as if she was doing bad things with his love.
This Zhao Ji is even more hateful than the Li family, and she can kill people invisibly with just one mouth!
The more Ling Huayin thought about it, the more angry she became, she rolled up her sleeves and went to Zhao Ji to theorize, but where were people willing to see her, so she had to go to Jiuxiao to complain.
"I said how come you are like nothing happened, and I am now harmed by you. Ling Huayin looked at Jiuxiao as if she had nothing to do with herself, and she was even more disturbed.
Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows: "Do you want me to be angry for Zhao Ji and put you in prison?"
"You know what I mean!"
Jiuxiao smiled nonchalantly: "I don't know. β
"You!" Ling Huayin pointed at Jiuxiao's nose, almost turning her back in anger, she said, "I didn't hurt Zhao Ji!"
"Hmm. Jiuxiao replied lightly.
Ling Huayin's eyes widened, "Huh, that's your word!"
"And what do you want me to say?" asked Jiuxiao nonchalantly, as if he didn't care at all.
Ling Huayin couldn't help but scold: "Now the whole underworld thinks that I beat Zhao Ji, and you don't say a word, everyone says that I am pampered and arrogant! This is all your fault! I recruited someone to provoke me, I just want to go home, is it so difficult, if you let me go back early, will I be so angry?" Ling Huayin choked up as she spoke.
Jiuxiao saw that she wanted to cry and endured it, touched her head like a child, and said, "I'll cut off those tongues that chew the root of the tongue later." The tone was as calm as if he were cutting leeks.
Ling Huayin looked at him with a frightened expression, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, no, no." β
Jiuxiao said again: "Then you want to cut off Zhao Ji's tongue, after all, she framed you and made you trapped by rumors......"
"Can't you just cut your tongue?"
"What else do you want?"
"I ......" Ling Huayin was speechless for a while, "I just want you to say something and give me back my innocence." β
Jiuxiao smiled and said: "The Qing is self-purifying, who told you to go to Zhao Ji and lock the door, how do others know what you are doing inside, isn't this leaving the handle to others?"
Ling Huayin muttered in a low voice: "I locked the door not because I was afraid that her maid would kick me out. β
"Call you stupid, you're really stupid...... Alright, I'll take care of this, and don't take it personally. Although Jiuxiao's tone did not change, Ling Huayin still heard some comfort from it.
"Actually, I don't really care what other people think of me......" Ling Huayin's voice became quieter and quieter.
"And what are you still so entangled in?"
Ling Huayin lowered her head and snorted: "Everyone says how good Zhao Ji is, I'm just a person who has nothing to do, don't you think I'm like that after listening to those words?"
Jiuxiao looked at Ling Huayin, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, "It doesn't matter what others say, the deity only believes in what he believes." β
Ling Huayin looked up at Jiuxiao in some surprise, and saw his deep pool-like gaze locking on her, her face turned red, and her heart beat faster for no reason.
However, Jiuxiao retracted his gaze after a while, and asked casually: "The deity is very curious, what are you going to do with Zhao Ji?"
Ling Huayin's mood of bumping into the deer suddenly disappeared without a trace, and she replied: "It's nothing, I just want to ask her why she betrayed her good sister, it's too inauthentic." Even though the Li family is hateful, this stabbing thing behind his back is not the work of a gentleman! How can the woman you have your eye do this? Have you lost your mind in the first place? You can't just marry someone casually because they have a beautiful family......
β...... Who said she was the woman the deity fancied?"
"Isn't it?" Ling Huayin was stunned, and then suddenly yelled: "I don't like you to marry! You are simply wasting the youth of other girls! Do you know how precious youth is?"
β......β
"Why don't you speak? In our Xihai, whether it is a man or a woman, when they get married, they must like each other, the man does not take concubines, and the woman does not serve the second husband, and they are loyal to each other, so that they are responsible for each other. β
After hearing this, the corners of Jiuxiao's mouth rose slightly, and said, "Then you marry me, I will dismiss them all, so it is responsible enough, right?"
Ling Huayin's face turned red with shame, "Who, who is going to marry you, I, I have a fiancΓ©." Speaking of which, you let me go back quickly!"
Jiuxiao was not angry, and said slowly: "I said, if Su Mu really wants to take you away, he will come and ask me for someone by himself." β
"Then," Ling Huayin asked cautiously, "if he comes, will you let me go?"
Jiuxiao showed an evil smile to Ling Huayin and said, "I'll talk about winning the battle." β
"You!" Ling Huayin said angrily: "Don't think that you are powerful, you can bully people so casually!"
"The law of the jungle is the law of survival in this world. Jiuxiao said arrogantly, "If you want to rob a woman with the deity, you have to see if he has the ability." β
Ling Huayin knew that it was useless to say more, Jiuxiao would not let her go so easily, so she had to return in a huff.
On the second day, Zhao Ji, who turned Ling Huayin away, came to see her for the first time, Ling Huayin thought that Zhao Ji was going to play some kind of ghost idea, but she didn't expect Zhao Ji to come to apologize to her. Ling Huayin's jaw was about to drop.
"Yesterday, my sister was not feeling well, so I didn't see my sister, please don't take it to heart. β
As soon as Zhao Ji came, she was close to her, and Ling Huayin couldn't help but wonder if she had taken the wrong medicine.
"I'm not a stingy person, but you have to explain to me what you framed me!" Ling Huayin couldn't forgive her for this matter alone.
Zhao Ji still had a bandage on her forehead, she looked even weaker, and she said bitterly: "This is my sister's fault, my sister was confused for a while, and she wanted to take this opportunity to suppress her sister." I have married the Lord, and I put the Lord first everywhere, hoping to be loved by the Lord. Although I am the first lady of the lord, it is usually difficult to see the lord, but my sister has been favored by the lord as soon as she comes, and my sister is envious of my sister and jealous of my sister, but I know that I am not as good as my sister, so I want to use this method to make my lord misunderstand my sister and have a dislike with my sister, so that maybe the lord can look at me more. My sister is really confused, how can she be easily snatched away by someone else if she really loves someone?"
Zhao Ji said with self-pity, Ling Huayin suddenly sympathized with her, but she didn't know how to comfort her, and in the end she only said: "You ......"
Zhao Ji sighed and continued: "The Venerable Lord has so many ladies, I thought that as long as I was a little more sensible, I would be able to make the Venerable Lord notice me. I originally thought that my sister was also one of our sisters, and the Lord wanted to be fresh at most, until the day of my sister's accident, I saw the look in my sister's eyes, and I knew that I had lost, I had never seen the Lord so worried about a person's safety, which we could not have in our lifetime. β
"I ...... I didn't want to fight with you, besides, I have someone I like. Ling Huayin said, but she felt weak as she spoke. As for why her heart is weak, she has no way to say.
"My sister is a lucky person, there are two men in this world who miss you. But isn't my sister really interested in our lord?" Zhao Ji was half tentative and half inquiring.
Ling Huayin couldn't help but be stunned, shook her head violently and said, "No, no, I don't want to be his ninth wife!"
Zhao Ji smiled bitterly: "Yes, my sister's status is so noble, but who wants to share a husband with others......!
In spite of oneself...... Ling Huayin thought to herself, and suddenly became stunned.
"Sister, sister?" Zhao Ji shouted to her twice in a row, and Ling Huayin reacted.
"Will my sister forgive me?"
Zhao Ji looked sincere, and Ling Huayin felt that she was quite pitiful, so she said generously: "I forgive you." β
Zhao Ji smiled: "Thank you sister for not caring about it." Whether or not my sister can give my sister a kind word in front of the lord, I am already sincerely repentant. β
Ling Huayin thought to herself, it turned out that this Zhao Ji came to apologize for Jiuxiao, but she thought that Zhao Ji's conscience had found out!
