Only then did Xie Nanjia realize that she had been fooled. It turned out that he pretended to be so sad and disappointed just to make her soften her heart and compromise, and let him do whatever he wanted.
Listen to what rascally words he said, just to see if she was white.
Oh my God, how can there be such people in the world? They are so hateful and shameless!
She was angry and deeply remorseful, hating herself for being so careless towards such a man. She had been so wise and well-planned all her life, but she had fallen into the hands of this playboy. She was so confused by his few words that she took the initiative to undress in front of him, and with a heart full of guilt, she tried her best to please him.
How abominable!
She was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she glared at Zhao Jingyu angrily: "Get out, get out now."
Zhao Jingyu was still pretending to be innocent, blinking and asking, "Why are you angry again? You just gave me a necklace!"
It would have been fine if he didn't mention the silk thread. As soon as he mentioned it, Xie Nanjia became even angrier.
It is not easy to braid hair into silk threads. She endured many nights, her eyes were almost blinded and her neck was almost broken, before she finally made two loops. If she had known he was such a person, she would have burned them rather than given them to him.
She felt that her behavior was like feeding delicacies to pigs, which was really not worth it!
"Give me back the bracelet. I don't want to give it to you anymore." She said angrily.
"No." Zhao Jingyu shook his head and smiled evilly, "There's no reason to take back something that has been given away."
"You think it's ugly, so give it back to me so it won't lower your taste." Xie Nanjia said gritting her teeth.
"It's okay." Zhao Jingyu said proudly, "I am naturally beautiful. Even if I wear a sack, I can still look charming. A small string can't affect me."
Xie Nanjia: “…”
This guy's face is probably three times thicker than the city wall.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore. Go out. I need to get dressed."
"Put it on after applying the medicine." Zhao Jingyu shook the white jade bottle in his hand.
"I won't!" Xie Nanjia said, "I'd be stupid to let you continue to take advantage of me."
Zhao Jingyu was so stifling laughter that his stomach hurt, but he said sternly, "I'm really not taking advantage of you. I have a problem where I do things halfway and leave the other half. I couldn't sleep tonight. You either let me finish applying the medicine, or get dressed right under my nose. Make your choice!"
"..." Xie Nanjia certainly couldn't put on her clothes under his nose, so she could only compromise, "Hurry up!"
Zhao Jingyu chuckled: "Why are you more anxious than me?"
Xie Nanjia: "Can you shut up?"
After Zhao Jingyu had teased her enough, he shut up obediently, helped her apply the medicine, put down the curtain consciously, and went back to the outer room to let her put on her clothes by herself.
Xie Nanjiajing waited for a moment, making sure that he would not suddenly break in, then she endured the pain, quickly put on her clothes, got out of bed, put on her shoes and went to the outer room.
Zhao Jingyu was standing in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his back. When he heard her footsteps, he turned around and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Xie Nanjia was still angry and said "hmm" and walked out.
"Wait a minute." Zhao Jingyu shouted.
"What else do you want?" Xie Nanjia stared at him warily.
Zhao Jingyu smiled, casually took down a bright red cloak with white fox fur on the hanger next to her, walked up to her, put it on her personally, and said as he tied the belt, "It's late at night and it's cold outside. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"..." Xie Nanjia lowered her eyes and watched his jade-white fingers deftly tie a bow around her neck, and her heartbeat became irregular again.
Zhao Jingyu fastened the belt, held her shoulders and looked at her carefully for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction: "From now on, you are mine. You must abide by your duties and stop flirting with other men. If you have any trouble, you must come to me first and don't try to be clever and do anything rash. Do you hear me?"
"Wait a minute..." Xie Nanjia came back to her senses from the panic, "How come I am yours?"
"Isn't it?" Zhao Jingyu said seriously, "We have kissed, hugged, and slept in the same room. Now I have seen and touched you, and we have exchanged tokens of love. Even after all this, you still don't admit it. Do you want to abandon me?"
"..." Faced with such a shameless person, Xie Nanjia was speechless. He pushed him away angrily and turned around and walked away.
Zhao Jingyu listened to the loud bang of the door slammed by her and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.
Little girl, your temper is getting worse and worse!
It's quite interesting though.
Ha ha!
He stopped smiling, licked his lips as if he had eaten honey, opened the door, and said to the darkness, "Follow her and send her back safely."
"Yes!" Huangfu's figure flashed by.
…
Xie Nanjia didn't sleep well that night.
Zhao Jingyu's medicine was indeed effective. The pain was relieved a lot after applying it, but his rogue behavior made her so angry that her heart ached. She felt aggrieved no matter how she thought about it.
If she was just angry, she would not sleep well. What's more abominable is that as soon as she closed her eyes, she could see Zhao Jingyu's owed face, three -point false seriousness, seven -point true wind, flow, peach blossom eyes crushed the stars in it, flashing, and she was upset.
How could there be such a person in the world, who is hot and cold, good and evil, more serious than anyone else when he is serious, and so annoying when he is not in tune. It is said that he is unlearned, but he secretly worships Hu Qianshan as his teacher; it is said that he has a bad reputation, but he is treated differently by the emperor; it is said that there are many beautiful women around him, but he doesn't touch any of them. What kind of monster is he
What sin did I commit in my previous life that I happened to meet such a strange person? I can't beat him, and I can't blame him. In terms of identity, status, ability, and shamelessness, I can't compare to him. It's so frustrating.
She tossed and turned all night long, and only fell into a drowsy sleep when dawn was approaching.
It felt like she hadn't slept for long before she was woken up by Zhen'er's chirping: "Xiu'er, get up quickly, something big has happened."
"What happened?" Xie Nanjia opened his eyes with great effort, but was immediately forced to close them again because of the strong light.
"Oh, don't sleep anymore. Something really bad has happened." Zhen'er pried open her eyes herself.
Xie Nanjia's sleepiness disappeared completely. She sat up and said helplessly, "What's the matter? Tell me!"
"The Madam and the old lady had a quarrel. The young lady is worried about the old lady, so she asked you to get up quickly and go with her to see the old lady." Zhen'er was mysterious, as if she was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
Xie Nanjia was stunned for a moment, then he had an idea in his mind. He got up, washed up, and accompanied Zhao Lanzhi to Ci'an Residence.
She came back late last night, and Zhao Lanzhi didn't know that she had been beaten. Worried about the old lady, she kept urging her to walk faster.
"Mother and grandmother have always been at odds, but this is the first time they have had such a big fight like today. We have to go and take a look quickly so as not to upset grandmother."
Xie Nanjia tried to quicken her pace and comforted her, "Don't worry, Fourth Miss. The old lady won't be angry, and Madam won't do anything to her."
Zhao Lanzhi was stunned and glanced at her in confusion: "How do you know?"
"I guessed it." Xie Nanjia said with a smile.
Zhao Lanzhi was not a fool either. She quickly thought of something and asked her quietly, "Is it the thing you gave advice to your grandmother?"
Xie Nanjia said: "It's hard to say now, we'll know when we go and take a look."
As they were talking, the two of them walked outside the courtyard of Ci'an Residence. It seemed that Qin was really angry this time. Her loud and low shouting could be heard across the courtyard.
In order to prevent outsiders from coming in to watch the fun, two maids were guarding the gate of the courtyard. Since the fourth young lady was the old lady's favorite granddaughter, they let the master and servant in.
When they reached the main house, Qin's voice became clearer. She shouted hysterically, "This is the only time in a girl's life that she can enjoy the glory. Wanru is my only niece. I can't let her marry in quietly without any wedding clothes or music, without a wedding banquet or a wedding farewell, and not even allow her to go through the front door. What's the difference between this and taking a concubine? If people know about this, they will laugh their heads off. Our mansion can't afford to lose face, and neither can the prime minister's mansion."
Zhao Lanzhi was secretly shocked and stared at Xie Nanjia with wide eyes, unable to believe what she heard.
If it is true as Madam said, then grandmother's move is too cruel. The Crown Prince is remarrying, so it doesn't matter how the wedding is held. But it is the first time for my cousin after all, and it is very likely to be the only time. If a sedan chair is really carried in silently, wouldn't it be too humiliating
As she thought about it, she leaned inside and saw her stepmother staring at her grandmother with red eyes like a trapped animal. However, her grandmother sat calmly on the couch, turning her rosary beads one by one, and said in a very calm tone: "Your niece has left many people behind for you. A good girl, but she refused to leave someone else's house for seven or eight years. She just left for a few days and she came back pregnant again. She said without any evidence that she was pregnant with the Marquis's child. Should the Marquis's be the scapegoat?"
Qin was so angry that her heart ached when she heard this. She shouted without caring about anything, "What are you talking about? Wanru and Ping'er are childhood sweethearts. She has never liked anyone other than Ping'er. How could she be pregnant with someone else's child? Yes, I admit that she did bring shame to the family, but she has been calling you grandmother for as long as she has lived in our house. She has come to kowtow to you every first and fifteenth day of the month. How could you bear to let her marry in quietly?"
The old lady was neither angry nor annoyed by her unreasonableness. She continued to fiddle with her rosary beads and said calmly, "You don't have to feel sorry for her. I am also thinking about the reputation of the prince, so I wanted her to come in quietly first. When the child is born, if it is confirmed to be the prince's, we will give her a grand celebration. If not, we can handle it quietly without alerting others.
I have already given enough face to the Qin family by compromising to this extent. His daughter needs face, and my grandson needs face too. If we really make a big fuss about it, and the child is not his in the future, how can he have the face to stay in the capital? And you, don't forget your own status. Is your niece more important, or your son? Don't put the cart before the horse."
"You..." Qin's forehead veins bulged as she stared hatefully at the old lady's hand as she was fiddling with the rosary beads. In order to show her kind heart, she also loved to fiddle with the rosary beads in front of others, but at this moment, she felt unprecedented disgust for this action. She wished she could rush forward to snatch the rosary from the old lady's hand, tear it apart, smash it, and grind it into ashes.
The old lady felt extremely refreshed. All the frustration she had felt over the past few days disappeared when Qin's rage came.
She continued to count the beads on her rosary, her eyes fixed on Zhao Lanzhi and Xie Nanjia outside the door, a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.
This sleeve, she really gave me a good idea!
