It was actually Uncle Chi's idea to let her stay in Jiuru Lane and move to the main house!
Zhou Shaojin stared at Cheng Chi blankly, not coming back to his senses for a long time.
Cheng Chi was very surprised.
He didn't expect Zhou Shaojin to resist this.
In his opinion, this was the best arrangement.
It can not only save the Cheng family as Zhou Shaojin hoped, but also allow Zhou Shaojin to get rid of the fourth room and live the life as he pleases.
But Zhou Shaojin is definitely not afraid of being implicated.
There were still eleven years before the incident of the Cheng family. At that time, Zhou Shaojin had already married. Married women were not convicted. Since she was reborn, she must know this.
Otherwise she wouldn't have told him her secret.
Then there is only one possibility.
She didn't want to meet Cheng Xu.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Cheng Chi couldn't help but pursed his lips.
What did Cheng Xu do in his previous life
Should he uncover the scar in Zhou Shaojin's heart
Cheng Chi, who had always been decisive, suddenly became hesitant.
Zhou Shaojin lowered his head and whispered, "Uncle Chi, I want to go back to Baoding with my stepmother. If you have anything you want to ask me, you can ask me while I'm still in Jinling, or you can write to Baoding. I will tell you everything I know. Don't worry!"
Her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her eyelids, making her as docile as a little lamb.
Cheng Chi suddenly felt sorry for him.
This is the Cheng family's business. She did what she should do and also did what she shouldn't do. Why should he drag her into this
As she said, if he really wanted to know something, he could just write or send someone to ask her, he didn't have to live in the long house.
He whispered, "Shao Jin, Uncle Chi didn't think this through. You're right. You've lived with your sister in Jiuru Lane for so many years, you must be homesick. Now that your sister is married, you should go back to reunite with your father and spend more time with your father and stepmother!"
Zhou Shaojin raised his head and looked at Cheng Chi in astonishment.
She thought that she would have to spend a lot of effort to convince Cheng Chi, and might even have to tell Uncle Chi about some of her tragic experiences in her past life, before Uncle Chi would let her follow her stepmother back to Baoding Prefecture.
But what she never expected was that before she could say anything, Uncle Chi agreed to let her go to Baoding Prefecture.
"You..." She looked at Cheng Chi in confusion, as if she had no idea what was going on.
Cheng Chi couldn't help but laugh.
What should we do with this little girl? She is so stupid. It would be better if she were not sold and the money was not paid for her.
He said, "I'll let Nanny Shang accompany you back to Baoding Prefecture!"
"What?" Zhou Shaojin blinked a few times before she understood what Cheng Chi meant. She hurriedly shook her hands and said, "How can this be possible? If Nanny Shang leaves, who will serve you?" At this point, she thought of something else and said anxiously, "Uncle Chi, the old lady must have agreed to let me live in Hanbi Mountain House, right? If I leave, how are you going to explain to the old lady?"
Cheng Chi laughed and said, "You are worried about this now? What were you doing just now?"
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help feeling guilty.
Uncle Chi was doing this for her own good. It was because she had her own emotional issues that she didn't want to live in the main house.
She looked at Cheng Chi embarrassedly, her clear eyes filled with guilt.
This little girl's eyes seem to be able to speak.
Cheng Chi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't be embarrassed. Didn't you say you believed in Uncle Chi? Since I can get Mother to agree to raise you, I can also get Fourth Aunt to give up the idea of bringing you into the mansion. Just go back and wait for news."
The best!
Uncle Chi is the best.
He deceived the old lady with just a few words, and he had robbed the execution ground in his previous life, so naturally he had a way to make his grandmother take back her decision.
She can follow her stepmother to Baoding Prefecture.
She can also escape the fate of her previous life.
Zhou Shaojin thanked Cheng Chi excitedly, his delicate eyebrows curved into crescents.
Are you so happy
Cheng Chi's heart sank.
If you just let her go, she will be as happy as a bird out of a cage.
Things might be worse than he imagined.
If she didn't say it, who would have thought what kind of pain she had experienced
He couldn't help but ask, "Shao Jin, do you hate it?"
Zhou Shaojin didn't understand.
Cheng Chi said: "When you look at those who have hurt you, have you ever hated them?"
Zhou Shaojin lowered her eyelids in silence and said softly, "Of course I hate them! Sometimes when I see them, I wish they would fall into the lake when attending the banquet and be watched by everyone; or when they are complacent and use the wrong allusions in front of everyone, they lose face and get a reputation of being unlearned... But they haven't bullied me in this life, I can't take revenge on them just because of the memories of my past life, right? Sometimes when I think about it, I feel wronged and resentful... And lonely. No one else knows about these loves and hates, I'm the only one gritting my teeth..." As she spoke, she thought that these things were in the past, and she had repaid Lin Shisheng as she wished, and she had also dumped the big burden of the Cheng family on Uncle Chi... She raised her eyelids again and slowly smiled, "But it's better now. After telling these to Uncle Chi, I feel much better and don't feel lonely anymore."
For the first time in his life, Cheng Chi understood why others used the word "heart-wrenching" to describe the pain they felt.
How could Cheng Xu be so cruel as to hurt Zhou Shaojin
He sneered in his heart.
It seems that he should pay more attention to his nephew.
A glimmer of gloom flashed across Cheng Chi's eyes.
Zhou Shaojin, who was in a good mood, didn't notice it. She asked Cheng Chi with a smile: "Uncle Chi, do you have anything to ask me?"
Cheng Chi didn't understand.
Zhou Shaojin was a little proud and said, "Uncle Chi, didn't you tell me to ask me if I have anything to say? You can ask me now if you have anything to say. I will answer you in person, which will definitely be clearer and more detailed than writing a letter or sending someone to ask!"
Seeing her smug look, Cheng Chi suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Then can you tell me why the Cheng family was confiscated?"
Zhou Shaojin's face suddenly turned red, and he murmured, "This, this doesn't count..."
"Didn't you say that you would answer more clearly and in more detail if asked in person?" Cheng Chi said solemnly.
“I, I, I…” Zhou Shaojin stuttered, his face flushed.
"I'm just kidding!" Cheng Chi said with a smile, "My mind is still a little fuzzy right now, so I don't have anything to ask you for now."
Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled awkwardly at Cheng Chi.
This silly girl!
Cheng Chi also laughed.
His smile was warm, yet a little restrained, appearing gentle and humble.
Uncle Chi looks so handsome when he smiles!
Zhou Shaojin thought vaguely and asked Cheng Chi: "Uncle Chi, will you come to our house as a guest when you pass by Baoding Prefecture?" Before she finished speaking, she felt that her question was not asked well, and hurriedly said: "When you pass by Baoding Prefecture, you must come to our house as a guest. I will learn to make a lot of snacks by then, and I will make them for you when you go!"
Cheng Chi nodded and said with a smile: "I will definitely visit your house when the time comes!"
Zhou Shaojin smiled when he heard that.
This way you can be happy.
Cheng Chi just shook his head.
Zhou Shaojin jumped up and said anxiously, "Oh no, oh no, I hadn't even greeted the old lady when I came here!"
It was already noon, and if she went to pay her respects to Madam Guo at this time, she would inevitably be suspected of being a freeloader.
Cheng Chi smiled and said, "Then why not stay for lunch!"
"Uncle Chi!" Zhou Shaojin stared at him with his eyes wide open.
Cheng Chi laughed out loud.
Zhou Shaojin was furious.
Cheng Chi smiled and said, "Go! If you dawdle any longer, you can sit directly at the table."
Zhou Shaojin stamped his feet and ran to the main room of Hanbi Mountain Villa.
Old Madam Guo had heard that Zhou Shaojin had entered the mansion. Since she had not seen Zhou Shaojin for a long time, she thought that Zhou Shaojin had been kept by Old Madam Guan for lunch. So when she saw Zhou Shaojin, she was a little surprised and asked, "Have you had lunch?"
Zhou Shaojin had no choice but to say shamelessly: "I want to eat the fried bells made in your small kitchen."
Mrs. Guo was particularly happy and told Biyu, "Go and tell the kitchen to make a fried bell for Miss Second Cousin." She then asked her, "What else do you want to eat?"
How could Zhou Shaojin have the nerve to order more dishes? She smiled and said, "I just like the dishes made in your small kitchen."
Old Madam Guo laughed and talked to her while sitting on the Luohan bed: "What have you been doing at home these days? Why did you suddenly come to Jiuru Lane? Is the Madam at home? Do you think she will be free if I invite her to dinner tomorrow?"
Uncle Chi had already said that he would take care of the matter, so she just had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Zhou Shaojin smiled and said, "I wanted to do some needlework at home, but I couldn't calm down, so I came to see you and grandma. We didn't invite many guests, and my wife has been free these days. I'll ask my wife if she has any plans for tomorrow when I get home!"
Madam Guo nodded and said, "Have you met your uncle Chi?"
Zhou Shaojin felt guilty, but he didn't want to lie to Madam Guo, so he said, "I heard that Uncle Chi has a guest, it's Master Zhang from Mount Longhu!"
Madam Guo smiled and said, "Master Zhang's name is Zhang Chengyu, and he is a good friend of your uncle. He hasn't been here for a few years, and he should be going out to practice, so he came to see your uncle Chi. Chengyu likes divination, and your uncle Chi likes astrology. Sometimes the two of them talk endlessly and don't sleep for a whole day and night."
Zhou Shaojin was stunned.
Hasn’t Zhang Tianshi left yet
Then why did Uncle Chi appear where Jiying lived
Zhou Shaojin hesitated and asked Madam Guo, "When will Master Zhang leave?"
She wanted to meet Cheng Chi.
Even if she doesn't say anything, it would be good to let Cheng Chi know that she appreciates his kindness!
"He should leave after the Buddha's Birthday, right?" Mrs. Guo guessed with a smile, "One year, a guest in his house stayed at our house for the Dragon Boat Festival before leaving."
Zhou Shaojin's lips twitched, but in the end he said nothing and helped Madam Guo to the banquet room where the meal was set.
Who knew that just as they sat down, Zhenzhu came in and said, "Master Zhang is here to say goodbye to you!"
Madam Guo was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Why are you leaving at this time? Have you had lunch?"
Zhenzhu smiled and said, "It is said that Zhang Tianshi is going out with his uncle to gain experience this time. It will take at least three years and at most five years for him to come back. So he came to visit you before he left. The fourth master has already arranged for Zhang Tianshi to have lunch."
Mrs. Guo felt relieved and told Biyu to invite Zhang Tianshi in.
Zhou Shaojin was confused and thought that if she went to Baoding, she would not be able to see Uncle Chi for several years!
