"Yes."
Qingque almost didn't come back to her senses, she responded, and when she walked towards Wei Xian, she felt soft under her feet, as unreal as stepping on a cloud.
She heard her voice that she couldn't tell whether it was trembling or happy, "Third grandma, please."
"Okay, very good!"
Wei Xian finally took a breath, stopped coughing, and even his voice was a little hoarse.
She sneered and glanced at Qingque, who had come to her, but raised her head and stared at Lu Jinxi.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it, this is the soft persimmon she's pinched for four years.
In the end, she was to blame for her conceit. After hearing the rumors from the people in the mansion that her temperament had changed, she didn't take it to heart, and used the old methods to deal with her.
In the end, because of her hatred for a while, she kept her mouth shut, and she caught her shortcoming, and she couldn't even fight back!
Wei Xian hated very much in her heart, but she was the jewel in the palm of Mrs. Wei's palm, and she had lived under that perfect sister Wei Yi, so she was not an ordinary person after all.
In just this moment of effort, my mind has turned countless times.
Today's matter, no matter the reason, she has already lost.
Instead of insisting on entanglement and forcing Lu Jinxi to bring the matter to his wife, she might as well swallow the bad breath and wipe the matter away first.
After all, she and this second sister-in-law have a long way to go in Japan.
With such a decision, Wei Xian really forced himself to suppress the anger that was surging in his heart, and instead revealed a bright and scary smile.
"Since the second sister-in-law has issued an expulsion order, I don't want to stay any longer. I just hope that the second sister-in-law can handle the trouble that brother Chi has caused this time, and don't make any mistakes and harm the general's mansion. Well, I'll get it sooner or later!"
After she finished speaking, she walked away.
"Lingzhu, let's go!"
Lingzhu responded quickly, and without bothering to leave with Lu Jinxi, she went after him directly.
As soon as he came out of the warm pavilion, the strong smile on Wei Xian's face completely froze, leaving only a heavy gloom and depression.
"Grandma, are you alright?"
Lingzhu followed her step by step, with a pair of almond eyes embedded in the pointed face of the melon seeds, and asked regularly.
She was Wei Xian's dowry maid, and when Wei Xian was the second girl of the Wei residence, she served by her side.
After following her for so many years, she knew what kind of temperament Wei Shi was. Now that she saw her face full of frost and cold, she remembered the various reasons, which were complicated and distressing.
Wei Shi was in a hurry, as if he wanted to use such a pace to throw everything behind him.
She gritted her teeth: "What could be wrong? It's just that there are more people against me. But does she think this is enough? I still have all kinds of means, and sooner or later she can't stand it!"
"Can… "
Lingzhu hesitated, looked at Wei Xian a few times, but still dared to speak.
"The servant girl sees that her temperament is different from the past, and she may not be able to control the general's mansion. She is alone and has a few children under her knees. If she loses this medium..."
"What do you know?!"
Wei Xian interrupted her sharply, her eyes were soaked with cold, and she stared at Lingzhu.
"Remember clearly, it's not that I want to take it - it's that she doesn't deserve it!"
"… "
Lingzhu opened her mouth and looked at the stains on her new dress. After all, her heart felt sour, she swallowed all the words she wanted to say, and sighed, "It's a servant who doesn't understand, so don't be angry."
The personal maid was raised as a deputy lady.
Wei Xian said everything to Lingzhu when she urinated, but now that she has softened her voice and is full of accusations, how can she still say it
"I'm just not reconciled..."
She said something slowly, but the anger at the beginning had dissipated.
In my mind, I remembered the evil words I blurted out in the warm pavilion, and the angry eyes of Brother Chi, as if that person was looking at him.
For some reason, Wei Xian felt very tired for a while.
The bottom of a pair of pearl black eyes, a bit of weakness and hesitation, gradually came up.
Lingzhu did not dare to persuade her any more, and only accompanied her out of the East Courtyard.
The maid and the old lady who were surrounded by the outside, I don't know when they have dispersed, and at a glance, they look deserted.
Only on the edge of the flowerbed in front, there was a crisp slap.
"Snapped."
"Snapped."
…
One by one.
Wei Xian didn't care, she heard the voice when she was in the room, guessed that it was punishing the servant outside, and now she doesn't care.
Looking at the sound, it was Friday's family who was smacking someone's mouth.
A while ago, she had someone to clean up her daughter, but she didn't expect that she would do it now.
Wei Xian thought slowly, she would definitely go up to take a look in the past, but she was really in no mood today, so she turned around and wanted to find her way back to the West Courtyard.
But at the moment when she turned around, something flashed in her mind—
wrong!
How could the maid who was being held on her knees look so familiar
Wei Xian's eyelids twitched fiercely, and he turned his head almost immediately and looked intently.
But seeing that the maid was pressed by the two rough old women, gagged her mouth, and her face was beaten like an adult, only those eyes were full of tears, and she kept looking at her side, her throat was full of tears. There was a muffled cry of "woohoo".
This is not the Ruizhu who is serving in her room, which one is it
For a moment, Wei Xian's eyes were darkened.
Lingzhu finally reacted, panicked and angry, and asked, "What are you doing?!"
In the room, Lu Jinxi sat on the heated kang when he heard movement outside.
She frowned, not very happy: "Noisy, what are you doing?"
"Go back to grandma, it's Ruizhu's side. The third grandma just walked over and saw it, and now there is a commotion."
The maid who was standing outside the door saw it, and bowed back tremblingly.
"That doesn't matter."
Lu Jinxi didn't take Na Ruizhu's business to heart.
"It's not stupid that she can endure like that. The matter hasn't been smoothed out yet. Even if you want to ask me for 'justice' for that girl, she won't pick it up today. Nothing will happen."
What's more, where is the "fairness"
Ruizhu's maid deserved to be beaten, but it just happened to fall into the hands of the enemy of Wu's family, and she suffered worse.
Wei Xian is not stupid, so he can figure it out when he goes back and asks for himself.
"Close the doors and windows, it's so noisy."
Lu Jinxi gave an order.
The maids immediately closed the door, closed the window, and moved quickly.
When Qingque saw it, she still suspected that she was in a dream.
In the past, they didn't move, and they complained when they moved. Today, the second grandmother called them, and they were all like sticking talismans on their hands and feet, faster than anyone else...
The change was so great that she felt a little uncomfortable.
However, Lu Jinxi didn't think there was anything wrong.
She just retracted her gaze and looked at Xue Chi in front of her again, just in front of a pair of big eyes, filled with a bit of surprise, a bit of exploration, a bit of hesitation, and... a bit of fear.
At the moment when the eyes met, he immediately trembled, and quickly lowered his head in embarrassment, dodging away.
The thick eyelashes, long and black, hang down like two small fans.
Qing Que had already wiped off the dirt on his little face, and all that remained were scars of purple and red. Although he was young, the bridge of his nose was very straight, and his lips were pursed so tightly that he smelled stubborn.
This was the first time that Lu Jinxi had looked at the child carefully after entering the house.
At a glance, she knew that this was indeed a little bully, and he was afraid that he was still stubborn.
However, it should not be as bad as imagined.
After all, you know fear.
I think it was because she had a quarrel with Wei Xian just now, and she was too tense, scaring him.
Lu Jinxi didn't know how Lu's got along with her children in the past, but only after hearing that she taught her children to read and write, she guessed that the mother and son get along more like a student and a husband.
But now it's her in this shell, not the Lu family. It's hard to replicate the original way of getting along.
Lu Jinxi has never brought children and rarely gets along with children. She can only follow her own guesses, cross the river by feeling the stones, and take it step by step.
Seeing that Xue Chi refused to look up at her, she slowed down her voice: "Did your mother scare you just now?"
Xue Chi buried his head and said nothing.
Lu Jin cherished that the relationship between this child and the Lu family should not be so bad that he couldn't even say a word. Maybe he was frightened, or he was pretending to be unwilling to pay attention to himself.
At times like these, prying open a child's mouth is like negotiating with someone.
How can people let their guard down
It's simple, put yourself in his camp and make him think you're on his side and you're a gang.
As soon as his mind moved, Lu Jinxi started talking again: "You are six years old, you are not young, but you are already a little man. Mother believes that you are very smart, and you have your own right and wrong in your heart. You saw it just now, you Hit your third aunt with the medicine jar, but your mother is on your side, and she didn't say anything wrong to you."
Xue Chi's head finally slowly lifted up.
He seemed a little guilty. He quickly glanced at Lu Jinxi, lowered his eyes again, and said in a muffled voice, "I know my mother is for my own good. But I, I don't like the third aunt..."
Did not like the third aunt to mention his father.
Although everyone said he was a little bully, Xue Chi felt that he was very sensible.
Just like his mother didn't say it, he also knew what the word "chi" in his name meant.
He felt that he was just a little bit ill-tempered and a little less patient...
Of course, in the eyes of adults, these are ignorance.
"I know what you don't like about her. It's understandable that no one likes her, and you're not wrong..."
Lu Jinxi's voice was softly like a cloud floating in the sky.
Xue Chi just listened, still soft and soft, but it seemed a little different.
In the past, whether he listened to his mother, read poems, or instructed servants, he would always think of a gray and drizzly day.
But now listening to his mother talk, it is not a happy event, and he is not in a good mood, but he remembers the blue sky and white clouds in the spring.
This feeling is hard to describe.
Xue Chi couldn't say what was going on, only vaguely felt that he didn't hate it.
He couldn't help but raised his head and looked at her carefully.
I haven't seen you for more than half a month. I heard that my mother was sick and almost didn't wake up.
So now she looks thinner and paler than before. She should think she is haggard, but there is a condensed look in her eyes.
Xue Chi actually felt that when his mother watched, she was more energetic than before when she was not sick.
"...So, you should also know that mother is a person who can distinguish right from wrong and will think about you."
Lu Jinxi had been talking for a while, she tried her best to guide him, and finally brought the topic to the matter of the British government.
"Before they said that you had a fight with the second son of Luo next door. Aunt Qingque asked you why, but you didn't want to tell me. Now that my mother is back, would you like to tell my mother?"
"I do not!"
Xue Chi, who had not dared to speak before, immediately refused after hearing her words.
The small body tensed up almost instantly, staring at her with wide eyes, two sword eyebrows flying diagonally, a little angry, full of vigilance and precaution.
Lu Jinxi was a little surprised.
She thought that the boy in front was also looking at a donkey, but when she mentioned the reason for the fight, she was immediately blown up to see it.
It seems that this matter can not be mentioned.
But if she didn't know the whole story, how could she judge who was right and who was wrong
Lu Jinxi's mind turned slowly, only looking at him, and looking at him, not treating him like a child at this moment.
With calm eyes and calmer voice, she said lightly: "If you don't mention it, I won't ask. It's just that we can't judge who is right and who is wrong. I only know that Second Young Master Luo was hurt more than you. My arm is bleeding. After a while, I have to go to the British government to apologize, do you want to follow me…”
"No! I'm right! You are not allowed to go either!"
Before she could finish speaking, Xue Chi roared loudly and interrupted her, her angry face flushed red, as if it had exploded.
"You are not allowed to apologize! I am not allowed!"
He was like a little lion who was offended and provoked, his hands were clenched into fists, his face was flushed red, his eyes were full of anger when he looked at Lu Jinxi, and...
A little bit hidden, hurt.
Lu Jinxi looked into his eyes, and at that moment there was an extremely subtle feeling.
My heart, which had been hard before, softened inexplicably.
