yes!
Wu Baozhang was indeed invited, but why would she have come here if she didn't have any ulterior motives
Zhou Shaojin glanced at her.
His eyes were cold, revealing a hint of contempt, and then he looked straight at Min Jia.
Min Jia narrowed her eyes.
Cheng Xu felt that the atmosphere was strange.
He followed Zhou Shaojin's gaze and saw Min Jia standing under the pomegranate tree.
The corners of Cheng Xu's mouth slowly lifted up, revealing a sarcastic and disdainful smile.
Min Jia's expression changed drastically.
Cheng Xu, what does this mean
She is his wife, how could he neglect her in front of so many people
Their marriage is related to the future of both families, it is not an ordinary marriage, so they should respect each other. If they can't even do this, what else can they talk about
Min Jia's expression became fierce.
Cheng Xu didn't even look at her.
He took a few steps forward and came in front of Zhou Shaojin. He bowed deeply to Zhou Shaojin respectfully and said in a deep voice: "What happened in the past was all my fault. I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive my mistake!" As he said that, he bowed deeply to Zhou Shaojin again.
Zhou Shaojin was stunned, then his eyes became sore and tears fell.
In two lifetimes, she had experienced so much pain, so much grievance, so much resentment... Cheng family, Cheng Xu, it was the first time someone apologized to her.
Say it wasn't her fault!
Said he was sorry for her!
She turned her back, covered her mouth and cried silently.
Cheng Xu's eyes were suddenly filled with tears.
He has thought a lot since Zhou Shaojin left Jinling.
Thinking about how I fell in love with her at first sight, thinking about how I liked and pursued her, thinking about how I couldn't get her... and the hurt that came with it!
Just like what my grandmother said, he didn't seize the opportunity when he could, and he forced it when he didn't have the position, so he was doomed to not get what he wanted.
Instead, he dragged her into the water.
He owed her an explanation.
But she was already his aunt, and a huge gap had been drawn between the two of them. Unless there were special circumstances, they would not be able to say a word even if they met.
Now that he had encountered this opportunity, he did as his grandmother said and acted as a man of integrity, doing what he should and could do.
Only from now on can you truly let go.
She goes her own way, crosses her own bridge, and has no more worries.
Cheng Xu stood up straight.
Since the incident in the garden, he discovered for the first time that the sky was so vast, the earth was so broad, and the road ahead of him was very wide and long... He still had a long way to go.
He smiled slightly, turned around without looking around, brushed past Min Jia, and strode out.
Min Jia's expression was as ugly as it could be.
She was the one who called Cheng Xu in, and Wu Baozhang was the one who called Zhou Shaojin out, but she didn't ask Cheng Xu to ignore his privacy and apologize to Zhou Shaojin the moment he saw him! She didn't expect Zhou Shaojin to burst into tears uncontrollably.
sorry
How have I done anything wrong to Zhou Shaojin
Did you let Zhou Shaojin down because of your marriage
Since the loss is already a loss, why did you, Zhou Shaojin, marry into the Cheng family and marry Cheng Xu's fourth uncle Cheng Chi
Min Jia thought that she had also been through a lot, but she was still so angry that her liver hurt.
Wu Baozhang opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.
Cheng Xu...actually apologized to Zhou Shaojin!
That favored child of heaven, the arrogant Cheng Xu, the eldest son of the Cheng family in Jiuru Lane, the only son of the current cabinet minister Cheng Jing, and his maternal family is the Yuan family of Tongxiang. How could he apologize to Zhou Shaojin, his cousin who lost her mother at a young age and lived in the fourth room of the Cheng family!
Why
Why is Zhou Shaojin so noble and everyone else is just dirt under her feet
God is unfair!
Wu Baozhang was not convinced.
She couldn't help laughing and said, "I never thought that Brother Xu and our young aunt knew each other so well. A seven-foot-tall man would apologize to our young aunt..."
After Zhou Shaojin cried, his heart seemed to be washed by clear spring water, and he felt peaceful and calm.
She turned her head calmly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, glanced at Wu Baozhang who was eager to try and looked like he was afraid of chaos in the world, and said to Min Jia: "My nephew Xu's wife, I think you are also a smart person. Don't always listen to other people's nonsense. If you have something on your mind, you might as well go back and ask your mother-in-law. Jumping up and down like this, it's just that people's hearts are not as good as they used to be, and they don't know right from wrong. I'm afraid of causing trouble and making a joke, not only losing face myself, but also embarrassing the Cheng family. Today is Ah Sheng's good day. You are a sister-in-law, don't make Ah Sheng lose face. Hurry up and put away this fierce expression, follow me into the house to accompany the wife of the in-laws and the aunt to talk a few words. It's a serious thing."
After saying that, he turned and went into the house.
Min Jia's face turned pale and blue, but she couldn't say a word to defend herself. She looked at Wu Baozhang deeply, took two deep breaths, turned and walked into the hall, and heard Zhou Shaojin smiling and saying to Madam Lu who was serving Madam Guo, "I just went out and got blinded. Can you help me see if there is anything wrong? It hurts a lot!"
When Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Peng heard this, they immediately stood up and went over to take a look, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is it serious?"
Zhou Shaojin shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt or itch."
Mrs. Peng hurriedly ordered someone to bring a light and went forward to check again and again. She was afraid that her eyesight was not good, so she called her fifteen-year-old daughter to help Zhou Shaojin check it out. When she saw that except for some redness and swelling in the eyes, everything else was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and ordered someone to bring a cold towel to help Zhou Shaojin apply it for a long time. Only then did she feel relieved.
Min Jia looked at it and was stunned for a long time.
Isn't someone like Zhou Shaojin the kind of daughter-in-law that her mother-in-law likes
She didn't move, but the white silk handkerchief was crumpled into a ball.
Wu Baozhang couldn't help but laugh silently when he saw this.
Thinking back then, Cheng Chi from the eldest son's family tried every means to suppress the matter and even married Zhou Shaojin regardless of anything, thinking that the matter would be over. She wanted to see how they would continue this drama now that the matter was laid before Min Jia!
※
When Zhou Shaojin returned home, Cheng Chi had already left the government office and was waiting in front of the hanging flower gate to greet her and Old Madam Guo.
"It should be very lively there today, right?" He personally stepped forward, helped Madam Guo get off the sedan chair, and said with a smile, "Are you tired? Do you want me to massage your legs?"
Madam Guo was very happy and said with a smile: "Why do I need you to massage my legs? I have maids and servants to serve me! You have been busy all day, and Shaojin is tired too. You should go back to your room and rest! You still have to work in the government office tomorrow!"
Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Chi still sent Madam Guo back to Tingxiangyuan, helped her to rest, and then got up to say goodbye.
But as soon as they left Tingxiangyuan, Zhou Shaojin hugged Cheng Chi's arm.
Cheng Chi was a little surprised.
Although the two had been married for some time, this was the first time that she had taken the initiative to stay by his side in public in front of so many maids and old women.
He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Did something happen when you went to Ah Sheng's place?"
"Yeah!" Zhou Shaojin nodded happily and whispered, "I met Cheng Xu today. He apologized to me and said that everything that happened in the past was his fault..."
She told Cheng Chi what had happened.
Cheng Chi was surprised and said with some emotion: "Jiashan, after all, looks more like someone from the Cheng family!"
Zhou Shaojin nodded.
Cheng Chi hugged her and said, "Shao Jin, you are so generous. You forgave him just like that!"
Zhou Shaojin laughed and said, "That's because he is your nephew!"
If it weren't for Cheng Chi, how could she have let it go so quickly
Cheng Chi smiled indulgently and pinched her cheek.
Zhou Shaojin smiled and dodged, but because he was reluctant to let go of Cheng Chi, he moved closer again.
Cheng Chi laughed softly.
The two held hands and walked towards the main room.
Zhou Shaojin said, "That Wu Baozhang is so annoying! Even if she didn't come up with the idea for Min Jia, she must have been in cahoots with Min Jia, otherwise she wouldn't have lured me out again and again. Cheng Xu must have been lured away by Min Jia... I don't know what Min Jia was thinking. She didn't ask Cheng Xu but believed Wu Baozhang instead. I gave her a lecture today..."
She talked about what happened next.
Cheng Chi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well done! If anyone dares to treat you like this again, just scold him. At worst, we can just fight together!"
"This is not a fight!" Zhou Shaojin smiled, and the two of them entered the yard.
I looked up and saw Huaishan.
Zhou Shaojin knew that he would not appear here for no reason, so he greeted him with a smile and went into the house.
After a while, Cheng Chi came back.
He seemed to be in a good mood.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Is there something good?"
"We have news about Cheng Lu." Cheng Chi said, "He stayed in a small inn. He was poor and sick. The innkeeper was afraid that he would die in the inn, so he kicked him out. He should not have gone far, so Huaishan went to look for him himself."
Zhou Shaojin's heart moved when she heard this, and she hesitated to speak.
Cheng Chi smiled and said, "Do you have any ideas?"
Zhou Shaojin asked: "If you find Cheng Lu, what are you going to do?"
Of course, he must never appear in front of Zhou Shaojin again.
But he couldn't say that in front of Zhou Shaojin.
Cheng Chi said: "Find a way to warn him and send someone to keep an eye on him from now on."
Zhou Shaojin laughed and said, "It's better to leave the evil to the evil!"
Cheng Chi looked at her with interest.
Zhou Shaojin said with a smile, "Isn't Cheng Lu poor and destitute? He will definitely not be willing to stay in such a miserable state. Rather than finding his people and giving him a lesson, I think it is better to find a way to lead him to Wu Baozhang. Given his personality, he will definitely ask Wu Baozhang for help. Given Wu Baozhang's personality, he will probably not help him. But Cheng Lu is not a pushover... Let them fight each other. It will also prevent Wu Baozhang from having nothing to do and looking for trouble with me all day long."
Cheng Chi laughed out loud.
He kissed her cheek affectionately and said, "My little girl has grown up and knows how to use her brain. This is a good idea. Let's do it!" Then he called Qingfeng loudly and asked him to tell Huaishan the news.
