In the east courtyard and the west room, He Shi had been waiting for a while. The two curved willow-leaf eyebrows were tightly twisted, and there was a rare trace of anger on the face that was always dull.
The "account books" of the culprits are placed on the square table.
She was on fire when she saw it.
Egret came in from the outside, holding a new hot tea in her hand, and replaced the half-cold tea in her hand: "Look at the weather, the second grandmother is coming back soon. But it's just a guess, say no. It's the right thing. You've been sitting here for half an hour, let's have some snacks."
A maid in the back hurriedly handed over the cakes she was holding.
Egret took it and put it aside for He Shi.
But He Shi's complexion didn't get any better because of this, and even had an undisguised depression and disgust.
eat
Since this morning, I have been full of anger, where can I eat anything
Thinking of what happened today, and seeing Bailu's smiling face, He Shi wanted to tear her mouth apart so that she wouldn't be able to say these annoying words.
At the moment, she just snorted coldly and mocked: "Your second grandmother, the shelf is really big enough!"
Egret rolled her eyes in her heart, wondering if she was still the great grandmother in this mansion, she had been kicked out long ago, and she dared to talk nonsense here
She opened her mouth and wanted to answer.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jinxi had already arrived outside the door.
When she heard the voice inside, she smiled, and the laughter was accompanied by the words, and it came from outside the door with a graceful expression: "Sister-in-law has really wronged my younger brother and sister, I just went out for a walk, how did I expect that my sister-in-law was coming? Woolen cloth?"
He Shi was stunned for a moment, and with that uncomfortable feeling in his heart, he immediately climbed up.
She knows it!
Lu Jinxi's tone really changed. It was completely different from the past. Even the politeness when he met his mother-in-law Sun a few days ago disappeared!
Looking up, the maids on both sides had already raised the curtains.
A beautiful figure, surrounded by people, walked in from the outside so gracefully, with a slight smile on his face, which made people feel extra friendly when they saw it.
Bright eyes, translucent and translucent.
Lu Jinxi couldn't see the morbid state on his face, and even the timidity of looking at people talking in the past was completely gone.
The more He Shi looked at it, the more shocked and disgusted he became.
There was a vague sense of injustice, rising from the bottom of her heart, and then crawling into her whole body, making her fairly delicate face shrouded in gloom.
"Second grandmother, you are back." Bailu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, but turned his back to the He family and gave Lu Jinxi a wink, "The eldest grandma sent people to ask four times today, and she came twice herself, but now Now I've been waiting for you for half an hour."
"I really can't stand my sister-in-law."
Lu Jinxi suddenly sighed and stepped forward, only to find that the He shi was sitting on the right side of the upper head very naturally...
This is really "conscious" enough.
When the host is not there, unless the relationship is close, the guest should choose the seat below to sit and wait, and it is not too late to change the seat when the host comes.
But the He family, who doesn't know if he thinks highly of himself or what, also sat on the front seat when Lu Jinxi was away.
Turning his eyes, Lu Jinxi's eyes swept away from He's body, but he didn't say anything, but just sat down opposite He's: "I didn't say a few words with my sister-in-law a few days ago, but today my sister-in-law is here. , it really surprised my younger brother and sister."
He Shi had a cold face, and sat opposite her with a stiff back, and her voice was also cold: "I'm here today, not to catch up with my younger brother and sister, but just to ask, is today's matter decided by my younger brother and sister?"
In the second half of the sentence, it was completely questioning.
"What happened today?"
Lu Jinxi was a little stunned, as if he didn't understand very well.
He Shi couldn't help but sneer: "Second younger brother and sister are also masters in acting, you can ask the egret next to you to come to my house to ask for something, and say 'the rules of the house' and carry it out to oppress me! If it wasn't for someone behind her backing her up , this little hoof dares to be like this! The second brother and sister dare to do it, but don't they dare to recognize it?"
"Grandma!"
When the egret heard this, it was really too ugly.
She was also the eldest maid by Lu Jinxi's side, and she was a little temperamental in her own right, but she immediately turned back: "The servants always follow the rules from beginning to end, and have a clear conscience. It's you, you don't say anything back. Annoyed into anger, a little hoof, who are you scolding!"
"What an unruly girl, how dare you talk back to the master!" He Shi sighed in his chest, and his eyes became vicious, "Brother and sister, is this how you taught the people in the house!"
Lu Jinxi leisurely placed his palm on his knee.
Facing He Shi's gaze, she actually smiled lightly and said calmly, "How do I teach the servants, naturally I don't have to worry about you, sister-in-law. But now I know what it is. Egret, bring Let everyone go out, my sister-in-law and I have two intimate words to say."
These words sounded soft, but there was a deep coldness in them.
Egret listened, and a cold war broke out in his heart. He only glanced at the He Shi, who still knew nothing, and then bowed and led the others back out.
In the room, only Lu Jinxi and He Shi were left.
He shi watched those people go out, but for some reason, he was always a little uneasy, especially when he saw the unmoving smile on Lu Jinxi's face, he felt a little guilty for no reason.
"Second brother and sister, what does this mean? What are the words that the maids can't hear? It's going to be said behind closed doors."
"Pickled words?"
Lu Jinxi wanted to give her two slaps now.
On the way back, Friday's family naturally told her all the situation.
The egret took someone to ask for something, and the He family changed his face almost immediately, and scolded the egret from head to toe in his own room, but the things and the money were unwilling to return.
"Our General's Mansion has always been a place with rules."
"Originally, my sister-in-law brought more things on weekdays and reported to me. I feel sorry for my sister-in-law, just like me, a poor widow, and you don't have a son by your side, so I opened my eyes and closed my eyes."
Lu Jinxi opened her mouth lightly, but He Shi was trembling all over, as if someone had slapped him in the face!
A sentence of "poor widow" and a sentence of "no son by her side" all hit her in the sore foot!
She was so shocked that she couldn't sit still: "How dare you—"
"How dare I?"
Lu Jinxi's voice finally rose a little, but looking at He Shi's eyes, it was already full of sternness!
"What am I afraid of?"
"Sister-in-law, you are so confused, and you didn't tell me what you got, which really surprised me. But sister-in-law has always been gentle, virtuous, and knowledgeable. She is a person who understands the rules first and foremost.
"But now it looks like this, why doesn't it look like it?"
"you!"
He Shi was suffocated for a moment, only to feel that several big hats were buckled by her, which made her heart burn like a fire!
The egret came to ask for something, but she couldn't give it.
She can't count how many things she has taken from the warehouse over the years. If she were to spit out all the hard work she had saved up, it would undoubtedly cost her life and Sister Pearl's life!
Lu Jinxi was so unceremonious and dismantled her on the spot, as if she had ripped off a layer of skin on her body!
He Shi immediately became annoyed and angry: "You are so mean and treat your elder sister so harshly! Aren't you afraid of being punished in the future? I'm the great grandmother in this house, why use more things? When I was in charge of the house in the past, I was not mean to you !"
Scourge
Grandma
Did you mention when she was in charge of the family
What year is the old yellow calendar...
Lu Jinxi was shocked by the thickness of her face, and suddenly felt pity for her.
"Have I treated you harshly? You know it in your own heart. You are ignorant of your conscience and open your eyes to talk nonsense. You also have a daughter, so aren't you afraid of retribution on Sister Pearl?"
Her voice was mocking.
"Thank you for remembering that you are the grandmother of the house, and you know that you are in charge of the house, it's a 'old time' thing!"
The irony of the last sentence is particularly spicy!
The worst thing in the world is often the truth.
"What are you doing, Sister Tizhu?!"
He's body was trembling with anger, his face was pale, and he couldn't see any blood. He stretched out his hand to point at Lu Jinxi, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a complete sentence.
It was like this for a long time before he chuckled softly: "Yes, you are right, that's all in the past..."
This tone doesn't sound right.
Lu Jinxi only felt that He Shi's previous attitude was so tough, and it seemed that he would not change his temper in the blink of an eye.
Sure enough, after laughing, there was an almost vicious, even resentful expression on He Shi's face!
"It seems that you still remember that in the past, I was in charge of the central feeder in this house!"
"Now you want to force my orphans and widowed mothers like this, don't you just want to kill them all?!"
"Xue Kuang is dead, you are lucky, you have left Xue Chi to support you. But what do I have?"
It seems that the grievances accumulated over the years have all erupted at this moment.
That voice, trembling with a kind of sadness, the usual indifference and resentment on his face all turned into disgust and hatred!
"Your husband killed my husband, and now you have to curse my daughter and force us to die!"
"… "
Lu Jinxi was stunned when she heard it. She thought that there would be a conflict with the He family, but she never expected that the He family would say such a thing!
"Sister-in-law, what does this mean?"
"what for?"
He Shi let out a miserable laugh, clenching his teeth, but tears welled up in his eyes, thinking of the day when the bad news came...
Her husband Xue Leng, Xue Kuang's eldest brother, and the head of Xue's family room.
Just lie there.
So all her reliance collapsed like this.
"Second siblings are so forgetful..."
"How did my husband die? You are Xue Kuang's wife, shouldn't you be very clear?"
"The two brothers went to the battlefield together. When he died, wasn't your husband Xue Kuang, who was invincible after a hundred battles, by his side?!"
Xue Leng.
Lu Jinxi frowned, remembering what others said about this uncle of the Xue family: a genius in the sky, but he died young.
It can be said that before Xue Kuang did not stand out, he was a well-deserved pillar of the Xue family.
But no one thought that he would die on the battlefield at such a young age. No one would have imagined that Xue Kuang, who was in the second line, would surpass his eldest brother and reach a height that his late eldest brother could not reach.
It is not uncommon for people to be buried in the battlefield among the generals.
The situation of the Xue brothers was just a little more tragic...
Lu Jinxi sat on the spot, only to see He Shi sitting opposite him with a sad face, looking at her with the eyes of an enemy.
In other words, look at the former Lu family, look at the Lu family's husband.
"In such a situation, he was the only one who came back alive..."
"Isn't he capable? Why can't he even save his own brother?"
A rhetorical question, but with boundless doubts.
He Shi gave a vicious laugh, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"Lu Jinxi, let me tell you—"
"He is the head of the Xue family, and he is the pillar of the Xue family! If it wasn't for your ruthless husband who hurt him—"
"Whoa!"
"what!"
He Shi's clamoring voice stopped abruptly, replaced by a scream. Lu Jinxi took the tea cup and threw it on the face of He Shi, whose mouth was full of feces!
Suddenly a mess!
The tea at the moment is still a little warm.
He Shi's face immediately turned red, and the slightly thick powder on his face also dissipated, and the whole face looked terrible.
She couldn't believe what she saw and felt, resisting the slightly hot feeling and opening her eyes, only to see Lu Jinxi's icy gaze.
Without the slightest emotion, it makes people's scalp numb.
"Bangdang."
The empty teacup was thrown on the table.
Lu Jinxi didn't know when, but got up and stood in front of He's.
It seemed that He Shi seemed to be confused and frightened.
She was holding a brocade handkerchief tightly in her hand.
Lu Jinxi stretched out his hand and pulled it out, smiling awkwardly: "It's my fault that I'm too impatient, just now I saw my sister-in-law talking so much nonsense, and I haven't had a sip of tea, I wanted to bring it to you, but unexpectedly Slip."
Jinpa lightly pressed his fingertips and wiped off the tea that had been stained before.
This time, she raised her head slowly and looked innocently at He Shi, who seemed to be frightened, and the corners of her lips slowly drew a smile.
Very kind.
Still like a bodhisattva.
But in He Shi's eyes, it looked like a monster, grinning at her!
A cold air rushed out of her.
"you you… "
The Lu Jinxi in front of him was really unfamiliar.
So much so that she didn't know how to deal with it at all, and even forgot to refute when the other party said this.
The tea hung between her temples and her face, and even slipped down her neck and penetrated into her collar, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.
But Lu Jinxi didn't seem to see it, leaned slightly, approached her, held the brocade handkerchiefly, and pressed it hard on He Shi's face.
Once wiped, it is a red mark!
But Lu Jinxi's tone was still light, as if he was caring about the He family.
"There is a saying that is well said, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't speak indiscriminately."
"The uncle and the second master have been together for so many years, and you don't want them to sleep peacefully. Then the younger brother and sister should kindly remind the elder sister-in-law that I am a first-class lady appointed by the imperial court, and I can ask you to face the Holy Spirit."
"Since you have such a big grievance, why don't I take you to see the emperor and talk about it together?"
He Shi suddenly shivered.
But looking at Lu Jinxi's eyes, he hated more and more, but in the depths of this hatred, there was a little bit of fear, with a feeling of sternness.
Lu Jinxi had already seen what kind of thing this was!
Of course, she didn't know the truth of those things on the battlefield. But when she was talking about the house's internal affairs, she somehow dragged this matter out, what did she want to do
Do you expect to use Xue Leng's death to arouse Lu's guilt
Back then, Mr. Lu, who might have called himself Xue Kuang's wife, would probably feel guilty after hearing about it, so today's page was uncovered.
She He Clan can continue to bully Lu Clan in this mansion and make a fortune!
Lu Jinxi's heart was covered with a cloud, and her eyes were a little scary.
"Sister-in-law, are you counting on me to feel guilty? But I might as well tell you clearly - I, Lu Jinxi, are going to embarrass you today!"
Another red streak.
He Shi's cheeks suddenly ached, and after hearing Lu Jinxi's words, he finally came to his senses, with an unbelievable look in his eyes: "Lu Jinxi! You bastard—"
She said and stood up immediately.
But Lu Jinxi was standing, condescending, listening to her dirty mouth, and suddenly thought of Sister Lang.
What a good girl, what has been misled into!
"Snapped!"
A loud slap in the face once again interrupted all He Shi's words!
In the end, Lu Jinxi didn't hold back the anger or the momentary thoughts in her heart, and slapped her with a big mouth!
He Shi didn't even have time to stand up, and his body was unstable.
This time, he actually fell back into his seat, a red palm print immediately appeared on his hot face, and the originally complete bun on his head was even more scattered, and even the hairpin fell off.
She only felt a burning pain in her face and a buzzing in her head.
It's even worse than being splashed with tea before!
"If I hadn't remembered what happened to Sister Lang, I would have gotten my hands dirty if I beat you!"
Seeing her like this, Lu Jinxi felt disgusted for no reason, and even felt uncomfortable with the hand she was holding just now.
"I knew you couldn't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth, and I didn't know what to instigate Sister Lang, so I wanted to test you with the account book. I thought you were a little heavy, but I didn't think you could think of a waste snack!"
His eyelids were so shallow that he could only see three-thirds of the acre of land in front of him, and he didn't even want the face of the grandmother of the general's house for a little profit!
To say that wrestling with her is to flatter her and insult herself!
With just such a little brain, is it worthy to calculate her
Lu Jinxi really felt that he had come into contact with too many smart people, and faced with this idiot who suddenly appeared, he almost didn't know where to start.
She wiped her hand with the handkerchief, and after half wiping it, she remembered that it was He's embroidered handkerchief, and she couldn't help feeling nauseated for a while, so she just threw it on the ground.
He Shi covered his cheeks, his eyes from disbelief at first turned into crazy jealousy and resentment.
She didn't know that her younger brother and sister was so sharp and sharp!
When she saw that she actually threw her embroidered handkerchief, she just felt that her mind exploded, and she almost wanted to jump on it.
But Lu Jinxi's icy gaze was like a basin of cold water, pouring it down on her head made her stiff.
"I advise big sister-in-law to think about it."
"You are a widow who has no son, and your daughter is still waiting for her to marry. Who gave you the guts of a bear and a leopard, and dare to put it on my head?"
There was a deep sarcasm in her eyes, as if she was mocking her without the courage to rush up, and there was a chill in her words.
"The bad guys on the stage like to say a word, and today I'll give it to your sister-in-law too—"
"Be smarter, just be a man with your tail tucked."
"Otherwise, when I wait and see, I'm afraid I'll be too ruthless, and you won't be able to eat and walk around!"
In the house, she has already done almost everything, and the Lai Chang incident has also sounded the alarm for everyone, not to mention the current situation inside and outside...
At the beginning, as a late-stage shareholder, she took over the power of the core founder, and it was all a set.
Now, even if He's going to Sun's side every day, she still has a way to make her a mute who eats Huanglian once!
After hearing these words, He Shi was already trembling.
It was precisely because she knew that Lu Jinxi was in charge of the mid-feeder, and her background was higher than her own, so she held on to it, and even took Xue Leng's past as a shield.
But she didn't expect that today's development was completely unexpected...
"Mother, mother, I brought the two parties to our house for dinner today!"
Before the matter in the house was settled, a happy voice suddenly came from outside.
Accompanied by the hurried blocking voices of the maids: "Hey, brother, don't—the second grandma and the eldest grandma are in the house!"
But it's too late.
Xue Chi's footsteps were too fast. Pulling Luo Dingfang from the British government next door, he entered the back room and shouted happily, "Mother!"
Then, he noticed the situation in the house.
In the first position, the eldest aunt, who had hardly seen it, covered her cheeks, her eyes were flushed, and she looked very embarrassed; and his mother was standing beside her, with a jinpa at her feet. A strange look, looking back at himself.
But this look was nothing but a mistake.
Lu Jinxi was indeed a little stunned, but he quickly came to his senses: Calculate the time, Xue Chi has indeed left school, and it's normal to come here when it's time to greet him in the evening.
She laughed: "You don't know how to run slower. Every time you have to remind your mother. You are rough and thick, what should you do if you fall on the second son of Luo?"
Luo Dingfang was standing beside Xue Chi.
He was a little embarrassed when he was a guest at the General's Mansion for the first time. He shyly saluted and said, "Dingfang greets Madam. Please don't worry about Dingfang. I am also rough-skinned and I am fine if I fall."
Xue Chi immediately laughed smugly, then went to look at the He family curiously, and asked Lu Jinxi, "Mother, what's wrong with auntie?"
"It's alright, your aunt has been wronged a little bit. She's coming over to have a heart-to-heart talk with her. It's over now."
The smile on Lu Jinxi's lips was deep.
Turning his eyes, he saw that Egret came in with a maid, so he winked, and instructed casually, "Egret, come and send Grandma back."
"Yes."
The egret looked at it, and finally felt a little frightened.
She brought her maids up, and among them there were several powerful old women, half-supporting and half-pulling, then forcibly pulled He Shi from the seat and forced him out.
He Shi's gaze swept across Xue Chi's body, and then fell on Lu Jinxi's body.
Lu Jinxi only had a flawless smile, put one hand on Xue Chi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, be careful on the road, don't think too much when you go back. When people think too much, it's easy to be troubled. Guest, please forgive my siblings for not sending them."
The mother-in-law didn't dare to delay, and finally "invited" He Shi out.
She didn't make a fuss when she left.
Lu Jinxi saw it, but she didn't have any special feeling in her heart: Xue Leng was already dead, and she didn't care how she died. It's just that when I look back, people can take a good look at He Shi...
As for processing...
Let's see how clueless she is. If she is still obsessed and fights against her for that little obsession, then she is by no means a saint who can't be ruthless!
Turning his eyes, his thoughts were just a flash. Lu Jinxi only led Xue Chi and Luo Dingfang to the chair next to him: "This is all sweaty, so let's rest for a while."
Xue Chi didn't think anything was wrong.
But he was really unfamiliar with the aunt, and although he thought it was a bit strange, he didn't care because he had never met a few times and only had a reluctant impression.
Luo Dingfang should be more sensitive.
Glancing over the overturned tea cup on the table and the jinpa on the ground, he remembered when his mother was dealing with some things in the inner house.
But he didn't say much, just thanked him and sat down.
The maid brought the tea, and Xue Chi took a small cup of tea and wiped it with his sleeve comfortably.
Then, he started chatting.
"Yesterday I went to Erfang's house to play, and Erfang invited me to eat their bad goose."
"Today, I invited the two parties to come to our house for dinner. Let's ask the kitchen to make some lotus root starch and sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus paste, okay? And steamed duck with eight treasures!"
"Oh, by the way, the gentlemen in the school also told us a big thing when we got off school—"
"Mother, do you want to guess?"
