Cheng Ji talked for a long time, but Zhou Shaojin didn't move.
She couldn't help but look up.
But he saw Zhou Shaojin looking dazed, thinking about something.
Cheng Ji was very dissatisfied. He patted Zhou Shaojin's shoulder vigorously and pouted, "Hey! What's wrong with you? I regard you as my closest and most trusted person. I told you things that I never even told my mother, but you were so absent-minded. You are so mean!"
Zhou Shaojin finally came back to his senses and apologized, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's my fault. I heard you say how good Li Jing was to you, and I was very envious, so I was distracted."
After hearing this, Cheng Ji pursed his lips and smiled.
Decided to forgive Zhou Shaojin.
A hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, and she whispered, "Shao Jin, you are my best sister. Let me ask you, do you think Cousin Jing is reliable?"
Zhou Shaojin asked curiously, "Don't you believe him? If you don't believe him, why do you still want to test him?"
Cheng Ji said coquettishly: "It's because I don't know whether he is sincere or not, so I want to test him!"
Zhou Shaojin didn't understand.
Apart from her father and sister, she only trusted Uncle Chi.
Cheng Ji didn't expect her to understand, and said anxiously: "What if he just tricked me into asking grandma for help? I've already become the laughing stock of Jinling City, so I don't care about this one more thing. But whenever I think about being fooled, I feel a sharp pain in my heart... I'm still a little hesitant... Should I tell grandma? If I tell grandma, how should I tell her? I can't just talk to you like I did, pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, right?"
She sighed deeply, stood up and walked around the room.
Zhou Shaojin watched it with his own eyes and suddenly remembered his past life.
She had also felt this way when Cheng Lu said he liked her.
It can be seen that she did not believe what Cheng Lu said at that time, but was just deceived by the illusion she imagined.
The kind of decision that took several days to make, and the tossing and turning in agony, still make her feel scared when she thinks about it now.
However, she should still remember the pain from her past life. How come she needs to recall it only after only one or two years of rebirth
Is it because she has been living too comfortably these days and is trying to forget all these things intentionally or unintentionally
Zhou Shaojin frowned.
But he was seen by Cheng Ji who turned around.
Cheng Ji said unhappily, "Shao Jin, what are you thinking about? I told you everything, but you kept everything to yourself. If you treat me like this again, I will ignore you in the future! I won't tell you anything personal."
Zhou Shaojin quickly calmed down and said, "Didn't you ask me what to do? I'm thinking the same thing with you!"
When Cheng Ji heard this, she was both happy and surprised. She quickly sat over and took her hand and said, "My dear sister, please tell me, should I trust my cousin Jing?"
Judging from what happened in his past life, Li Jing is a relatively reliable person.
But after so many changes in his life, Zhou Shaojin didn't dare to say with confidence that he was definitely a good match for Cheng Ji.
Zhou Shaojin thought quickly and said, "How about you test him again? Otherwise, how can you know if he is sincere?"
Who knew Cheng Ji would say shyly, "What if he gets angry?"
"Ah!" Zhou Shaojin opened his eyes wide.
Cheng Ji's face suddenly turned red, and he said, "You, didn't you just say that if I believed him, why would I test him? If I continue to test him, wouldn't it be telling him that I don't believe him..."
Zhou Shaojin stroked his forehead and said, "You can't let him find out!"
Cheng Ji asked: "Then how can I prevent him from finding out?"
Zhou Shaojin thought about it again and again, and said, "How about you go back on your word and say that what happened last time doesn't count, and let him do it again?"
Cheng Ji pushed her hard and said angrily, "What kind of idea is this? How can I go back on my word?"
Zhou Shaojin smiled awkwardly, but he was thinking about Cheng Chi in his heart.
She spoke very casually in front of Uncle Chi, and she didn't know if she had ever done something that she would regret at the last minute, but Uncle Chi never seemed to be really angry with her... For example, when she set fire to the fifth room, Uncle Chi covered it up for her.
At that time, Uncle Chi had only seen her twice...
Zhou Shaojin's heart was beating like a drum.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone praised her for being a gentle and pretty child. However, as she grew up, she became more thoughtful, and although people looked at her with amazement, they rarely praised her anymore.
She had just been reborn at that time, and was not yet as withdrawn as she was in her previous life. Uncle Chi, would he also think that she was... very good
Thinking of this, her heart felt like it was wrapped in honey... and she couldn't help laughing.
Cheng Ji asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, nothing!" Zhou Shaojin waved his hands repeatedly, regretting a little that he couldn't control his emotions.
Cheng Ji was muttering quietly there. She didn't hear clearly what Cheng Ji was muttering, nor was she in the mood to ask what Cheng Ji was muttering.
Even if Uncle Chi liked her, it was only because she was a younger generation that he liked. Sooner or later, he would get married and have children.
Because of this, Mrs. Guo was so happy these days that she gave each of her servants two taels of silver to buy snacks, and even she received two gold ingots.
When the new aunt comes in, Uncle Chi will no longer treat her as well as he does now.
As the thought flashed through her mind, she felt as if a piece of her heart had been cut out, and she was heartbroken.
It was even more painful than when he saw Cheng Lu's shoes hidden under the flower tree in the garden.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but cover his chest.
How could she be like this
Uncle Chi is married and treats his wife and children well. Isn't this what he should do
There is a difference between close relatives and distant relatives. She is just a relative living in the next house.
Uncle Chi got married and had someone he cared about, so naturally he became estranged from her.
Just like in his previous life, no matter how well cousin Gao treated her, now that he had his own wife and children, he put them first.
This is common sense.
But why did she feel so heartbroken whenever she thought that Uncle Chi would take back all the kindness he had shown her and give it to someone else
Could it be that because Uncle Chi and Madam Guo treated her like a family member during this period of time, she began to become more and more demanding, becoming less and less satisfied
When did she become the kind of person who doesn't know how to be grateful
Zhou Shaojin's vision began to blur and his face became wet.
Cheng Ji jumped up and shouted in astonishment: "Shao Jin, what's wrong with you? I don't really blame you, why are you crying?"
Did she cry
Zhou Shaojin wiped his eyes, his hands were full of water. His eyes felt like they were stung and tears kept falling.
"I, I didn't cry!" she murmured.
"You're kidding me!" Cheng Ji said, taking a handkerchief and stuffing it into her hand. He pretended to be disgusted to cover up his worry, and said viciously, "Wipe your tears quickly. You are still wiping your tears with the back of your hand? Where are the rules taught by the maids? I'm not crying, why are you crying?"
Zhou Shaojin quickly wiped away his tears.
Cheng Ji called her maid Chunwan to come in and help her wash her face.
She was manipulated by the Spring Festival Gala in a daze. She felt very cold in her heart and suddenly she lost the energy to do anything.
She could not remember clearly what Cheng Ji said afterwards. She only knew that Cheng Ji invited her to have dinner, but she had no appetite at all. She resolutely declined Cheng Ji's invitation and trudged back to Fucui Pavilion. When she entered the room, she somehow bumped into the door frame, and a large red spot appeared on her forehead.
She broke down all of a sudden.
Anyway, it has come to this, no matter what she does, Uncle Chi will get married and have children sooner or later, and Old Madam Guo will enjoy her grandchildren sooner or later and will forget about her... Why should she bother to be annoying!
Zhou Shaojin lay down on the bed in a state of self-abandonment, and ordered Chunwan listlessly: "Go and tell the old lady that I am a little tired, so I will not go to pay my respects to her. I will go to chant sutras with her tomorrow morning."
Chun Wan asked worriedly, "Do you want to ask a doctor to come in and take your pulse?"
"You're not too sick to get out of bed, why do you need to take my pulse?" Zhou Shaojin said listlessly, "Don't forget, there's an old man at home, and old people are most averse to this. Don't mention this again in the future. Got it?"
The Spring Festival Gala should be “yes”, which makes me even more worried.
The second young lady is gentle and docile, and everyone likes her very much.
She would smile gently at everyone she met, and had never been as depressed as she was now.
I wonder what Miss Jiabiao said to the second lady
Chunwan pondered over it in his mind and went to the upper room to report to Old Madam Guo.
Mrs. Guo was about to have dinner with Cheng Chi, but when she heard that Zhou Shaojin had returned, she moved the dinner to the back, intending to wait for Zhou Shaojin to come over to greet her and ask her if she had had dinner and whether she wanted to eat together. Unexpectedly, Chunwan said that Zhou Shaojin was a little tired and went to rest first.
Cheng Chi didn't wait for Mrs. Guo to ask in detail, "Did Miss Jia say something to your second young lady?"
Before Chun Wan could answer, Madam Guo asked curiously, "Didn't Shao Jin go to Jiashu Hall? How did he get involved with Jiao Yatou again?"
Cheng Chi said, "It seems that Jia Yatou and Lu Saozi started arguing again over something, and Lu Saozi asked Shao Jin to mediate."
But it's not necessary to drag Zhou Shaojin from Jiashutang to Ruyixuan, right
Mrs. Guo was still somewhat confused, but Chun Wan said, "I don't know either. As soon as the Second Miss entered Ruyi Pavilion, Miss Jia drove us all out, leaving only the Second Miss to talk. When the Second Miss came out, her eyes were red, as if she had cried. We servants didn't know what to say..."
“How could this happen?” Mrs. Guo didn’t have time to think about it. All the doubts in her heart disappeared. She stood up and said to Cheng Chi, “Let’s go and see Shao Jin! I was worried that your aunt Guan would say something to Shao Jin and make the child unhappy. I didn’t expect that your aunt Guan didn’t say anything, but Jia girl... Hey...”
Cheng Chi smiled and said, "Mother, don't you often say that a little girl is always upset? Since she feels uncomfortable, you should just let her stay alone for a while. When you come, she will have to dress up to welcome you and she will also have to cheer up to talk to you."
"That's right!" Mrs. Guo smiled, sat down again, and said to Chun Wan, "Go back and tell your daughter to have a good rest. If she is still very tired tomorrow, don't accompany me to chant. I'm going to visit the Gu family tomorrow, so I won't take her with me."
Mrs. Guo is so nice!
Chunwan retreated gratefully.
