It was still so cold in Beijing in March that there was not a single trace of green. After a freezing rain, everything seemed bleak.
Freezing rain has always been a phenomenon in the south, and it rarely occurs. But this year, I don’t know why it also came to Beijing, making the weather, which had shown signs of warming up, even colder.
The news of Hua Jing's divorce spread at this time, but the Hua family only found out about it after it spread everywhere in the streets and alleys.
"Didn't I say long ago that Hua Jing has no relationship with the Hua family anymore? Did everyone think I was joking?" Hua Zhi was talking to Wu when Butler Xu reported the matter. She listened without blinking, "Since there is no relationship, what does her divorce have to do with the Hua family? They can't expect me to be magnanimous and welcome her back."
Although Wu was indignant, she could only nod her head. Many people thought so now.
"I'm afraid that will disappoint everyone. I'm a woman in the inner house and cannot be considered an adult. Naturally, I don't have the generosity. The adults will do the work of repaying evil with kindness. I'm no different."
Mrs. Wu liked her attitude very much, but she was also worried that it would have a bad influence on the Hua family and Zhier. "If we just set aside a yard for her to live in, I think the other people in the Hua family will not have any objections."
"I have no objections to you, Fourth Aunt. It's not that I have to trample Hua Jing down without mercy. First of all, this is my grandmother's last wish, and I have no reason to disobey it. Besides, do you think she will stay in one corner quietly after she comes back?"
She wouldn't. Wu knew very well what kind of personality the eldest aunt of the Hua family had. When she came back, the Hua family would never be so peaceful again. She would never stop until she got the power to be the head of the family! Who knows how chaotic the Hua family would be by then.
Wu likes the current Hua family. Although the man who supports the family is gone, the degree of unity is far from comparable to before. If she was a little bit unbelievable at the beginning, now she really believes wholeheartedly that Zhier will be able to lead the Hua family out of the predicament.
Therefore, Hua Jing must not come back. She was also very positive in her attitude, "I will go talk to those families."
"Thank you, Fourth Aunt."
The Hua family's silence attracted a lot of gossip. People are naturally sympathetic to the weak, even if the weak were once invincible. When the news of Hua Jing's serious illness came out, there were even more gossips.
How could Hua Zhi just sit there and wait for death? She directly fought poison with poison and asked people to bring up the matter of Hua Jing angering her grandmother to death. Many people were speechless immediately.
In the Daqing Dynasty, even smiling during the mourning period would be criticized, and irritating one's own mother to death was not enough to describe it as unfilial. In addition, with the old lady's last words, no one could say anything wrong about Hua Zhi.
But even so, there is still a group of people who are relentless and won't give up on the Hua family. Hua Zhi can guess who they are without having to check.
Shaoyao bit the herb and supported her cheek, not even noticing that there were herb stains on her cheek. "Huahua, I don't understand what his purpose is in doing this. He can't be trying to make peace with the Hua family."
Hua Zhi wiped her with a handkerchief, "Why not? As long as the Hua family accepts Hua Jing again, it means that the Hua family has forgiven her. As her son, naturally no one can say anything to him anymore. Isn't this page turned over?"
"Where does he get the confidence that you will forgive him?!"
"Maybe I'm just so easy to talk to in his eyes." Hua Zhi smiled. She was very happy that she was so kind in the eyes of others.
Shaoyao rolled her eyes. No matter how easy Huahua was to talk to, she couldn't treat people who offended her well. Do you think Huahua was stupid
"So what are you going to do, or..."
"Give up your idea now." Hua Zhi glared at her angrily. Before the news of Hua Jing's divorce came out, the biggest news in Beijing was that Chen Zhi was put in a sack and beaten and splashed with feces. It was said that his face was so bruised and swollen that it was unrecognizable that it was Chen Zhi. Even in such a cold weather, he had lost a layer of skin after washing, but he still smelled bad.
As soon as she heard it, she knew she was in trouble. When Shaoyao came to her to ask for credit, she really couldn't describe her feelings.
After the incident between Chen Zhi and Yu Zhengyao broke out, the Hua family had always occupied the moral high ground. Everyone said that those two were worthless. But once Chen Zhi was beaten, even if there were all the women in the Hua family, they would be the first suspects. If they couldn't beat him, couldn't they let others beat him? Although Old Master Hua hadn't yet reached the point where his students were everywhere, he was more than capable of having hundreds of people respond to his call.
Such a good situation was ruined by this silly girl, and she even had the nerve to come to her to ask for praise. She immediately confiscated all her snacks for the day.
If Song Chenghao is beaten again now, the Hua family will never be able to clear themselves even if they jump into the Yellow River.
Shaoyao laughed, isn't this the most direct way? It also makes you feel better!
"Don't worry about it. The Hua family has made its attitude clear long ago. Whoever wants to say it can say it. If we change our attitude because of a few words from others, the Hua family will be looked down upon." Hua Zhi looked at her steadily, "Don't do anything. Remember?"
"No, no, I don't want to do it. I took three showers after coming back and I still feel dirty." Shaoyao spoke in a lower and lower voice. Although the dirty work was done by others, she was the one who was beaten, and she admitted it.
Hua Zhi couldn't bear to really blame her. Knowing that she wouldn't bother Song Chenghao again, she quickly changed the subject to avoid her worrying about it. "Have you found out the identity of that child?"
"No." Shaoyao moved closer to Huahua and put her hand on Huazhi's arm.
Hua Zhi let her mess up her clothes and put her hand on hers. The warm body temperature passed over and soothed Shaoyao's emotions little by little.
Shaoyao simply leaned on Huahua's shoulder and whispered softly, "There are always some people who don't deserve to live in this world."
"Even if they don't deserve it, you shouldn't be the executioner."
Peony looked up at Huahua.
Hua Zhi smiled softly and spread out her palms. Because she had been dealing with medicinal herbs for many years, Shaoyao's hands were not white or delicate. There were calluses in some places and tiny wounds all over them. But if she just folded her sleeves up a little, her snow-white skin could be seen.
If she had not been disfigured, Hua Zhi believed that Shaoyao must have been a very beautiful girl, or she might have had a very decent background, and with the help of her parents and a matchmaker, she could have found a suitable husband for her.
Now, it's all empty talk.
So she could understand the hatred in Cao Cao's heart.
"If there is karma for killing people, I hope they die in their own hands instead of ruining your fortune."
Shaoyao bit her lip and threw herself into Huazhi's arms with red eyes. She was willing to die for Huahua and do anything for Huahua. She swore!
Hua Zhi touched her head and looked up at the void. Death is the end, but for some people it is too painful.
