"Snapped"
Everyone was attracted by the huge sound, and when everyone saw the situation in front of them clearly, a timid servant girl exclaimed.
"ah!"
It was Zhao Jing who blocked Chen Xing's side and slapped Chen Ling'er firmly. A clearly visible slap print appeared on her fair and tender face, and then half of her face was swollen up. . This shows how hard Chen Ling'er slapped her just now.
Chen Ling'er looked at Zhao Jing who was covering her face and crying, the arrogance just now went down all of a sudden, thinking of the consequences, she couldn't help but shivered, and said in a trembling voice, "Why did you come here?"
Zhao Jing was also raised with pride since she was a child. Now that she received this slap, her face became hot and her heart felt more and more wronged. Hearing Chen Linger's question, her tone was not very good, "I originally wanted to come here to persuade my sister Don't be impulsive, after all, he sprinkled the soup on my sister because he helped me."
Speaking of this, Zhao Jing covered her red and swollen face, two golden peas appeared from the corners of her eyes, she never expected that Chen Linger's hand would be so fast.
Chen Ling'er looked at her, and didn't know what to say at this moment.
Just when Chen Ling'er didn't know how to end the situation, the servant girl next to her hurriedly said, "You two ladies, we have to go back to the mansion immediately and deal with the lady's face, otherwise it will get serious later, and the madam will definitely kill us."
Chen Ling'er seemed to be woken up suddenly, and quickly put away the regret on her face, and comforted Zhao Jing: "Sister Zhao, let's go back now, I still have ointment from adults at home, it won't hurt after applying it."
After the young lady spoke, they didn't bother to trouble Chen Xing, they helped Zhao Jing who was crying uncontrollably, and Chen Ling'er, who was in a mess, left in a hurry.
Looking at the backs of them leaving, Chen Xing sighed softly and began to tidy up the table.
Chen Xing hoped that the little girl who was beaten for him would not leave any psychological shadow because of it, after all, the hard slap just now sounded painful.
He was still thinking about it until Chen Xing returned to Gu's mansion, eating ice powder with Gu Lang and Qiu Jiu in the porch after lunch to cool off.
Gu Lang sat in a spacious chair, took a sip of the brown sugar water, which in his eyes was icy at best, with some slippery things added, and other ingredients, but what Chen Xing called ice powder, I feel very comfortable. After he took a bite, he fell in love with this thing, and privately decided the ownership of the last bit that was not served.
However, after he raised his eyes and saw Chen Xing's expression, he put aside his plan to buy another bowl for himself, looked at Chen Xing and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Chen Xing seemed to be too preoccupied with the matter, and was taken aback by his sudden utterance. The ice powder on his hand spilled a little because of his hand shaking. He pursed his lips a little uneasy, and said What happened today, at the end, I added a sentence with some concern, "I don't know if the little girl who was beaten will be okay. I think that little girl is pretty good."
Seeing that Chen Xing referred to Zhao Jing as a little girl, Gu Lang slightly raised his eyebrows, but answered him with certainty, "I don't think anything will happen to the little girl you mentioned, but it's the little girl you said That person may be punished to a certain extent."
Chen Xing blinked his eyes, as if he didn't quite understand.
Gu Lang seemed to understand his thoughts, he slightly hooked his lips, and said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "You said that the maids behind them wore different clothes, so they are naturally the girls of the two families. , and the one who hit someone faintly gave way to the other. According to her unruly temperament, she must be a domineering one at home, and it is impossible to suppress herself everywhere just because they have a good relationship. The most likely thing is that her family has something to ask for People, the elders above suppress her strongly, so she will be patient everywhere."
After Gu Lang said all this, under Chen Xing's more and more admiring eyes, the corners of his mouth continued to widen, and he continued: "So, she will definitely be scolded by the elders when she goes back, and the one who was accidentally injured will definitely be punished in every possible way. maintain."
After Chen Xing listened to Gu Lang's words, his heart that had been hanging around immediately relaxed.
Chen Xing drank the remaining ice powder in the bowl in twos and twos, stood up and said to Gu Lang, "I'm going to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for the stall tomorrow."
Seeing that Chen Xing's mood improved, Gu Lang's mood also improved, and he was about to watch him leave.
He heard Chen Xing say to him: "You are not in good health, there is still a lot of ice in the leftover sugar water, so you don't want to eat it, just leave it to Qiu Jiu."
The smile on Gu Lang's face froze.
Seeing the change on Gu Lang's face, Chen Xing seemed to feel that what he said was a bit serious, and he coaxed softly: "Well, it's not that I won't let you eat it, it's just that the ice melted in it also dilutes the taste of sugar water, It’s not that sweet, so naturally it’s not that delicious.”
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who was trying to defend himself, and the smile that had faded a little reappeared on his face. He looked at him and comforted him: "Okay, I know you are doing it for my own good. I don't know how to eat it. Don't worry. Get busy."
Chen Xing looked at him a few more times to make sure that he was not angry, heaved a sigh of relief, showed a big smile to Gu Lang, and nodded reassuringly, "Yes."
Watching Chen Xing's back disappear into the corridor, Gu Lang used the fan placed beside him to hold down Qiu Jiu who was sneaking around to pour sugar water.
Startled, Qiu Jiu stopped what he was doing, looked at his expressionless young master, and called out softly, "Master."
Gu Lang raised his eyelids, first looked at the confused Qiu Jiu, then at the sugar water he hadn't poured out, and said softly, "Don't move."
Qiu Jiu also tried to fight for himself, "But Chen Xing said this is too cold, you can't drink it."
Gu Lang raised his eyelids, looked at Qiu Jiu, who was desperate, and said in a low voice, "If you leave it for a while, all the ice will melt, and there will still be ice there."
Hearing his young master's strong words for one bite, Qiu Jiu wanted to argue again, but when he met his young master's cold gaze, he immediately gave up. Well, well, his life is more important than a bite of food.
The last bowl of sugar water was saved, and Gu Lang's complexion became better. He looked at Qiu Jiu, who was still a little unhappy, and said in a low voice: "Go and find out that the two ladies who made trouble today belong to that family. Especially the one who did it, let me keep an eye on it."
Hearing Gu Lang's order, Qiu Jiu's face immediately returned to normal, and said seriously, "Yes, I will handle this matter well."
"Yeah." Gu Lang nodded, waved at him as if impatient, and said bluntly: "Okay, you can go to the kitchen to help." After finishing speaking, he paused for a while, like a warning He continued: "Remember not to say anything about the ice powder."
"Oh~" Qiu Jiu replied dejectedly, glanced at the indifferent Gu Lang, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
*
Chen family.
In Miss Chen Si's room, there was first a crackling sound of porcelain shattering, followed by a woman's crazy roar, followed by the unanimous begging for mercy of the little maids.
Mrs. Chen, who was standing at the door, listened to the movement inside with a blank expression, until the people inside were almost exhausted, and then asked the maid beside her to knock on the door.
"Who!?"
Hearing the roar from inside, Mrs. Chen didn't even twitch her brows, and said coldly, "It's me."
There was a moment of silence inside, and then the door was slowly opened from the inside.
Madam Chen ignored the broken porcelain on the floor, and walked directly towards Chen Linger who was sitting beside the bed sulking.
Mrs. Chen asked the two servant girls who were kneeling at Chen Linger's footsteps to leave, gently stroked her medicated face, and said softly: "I'm still complaining about my mother beating you just now."
Chen Ling'er pursed her lips and said nothing, but the angry expression on her face completely betrayed her thoughts.
Mrs. Chen has always loved her daughter very much, but this love is conditional. When the interests of the family are not involved, she doesn't mind pampering her, but on this occasion today, even if he intends to cover her up, it won't work.
Today, the two ladies went out to play happily, but Miss Zhao came back crying with red and swollen cheeks, and the instigator was her own daughter. If she didn't do something at that time, Mrs. Zhao would definitely blame them on the Chen family.
Mrs. Chen looked at her stubborn daughter, touched the top of her head lightly, and said in a low voice: "You know mother loves you all the time, this time it's a last resort. You have to know, if you didn't hit me by mistake Ms. Zhao's slap was stabbed in front of everyone, my mother would never do that."
Chen Ling'er bit her lips fiercely, she didn't know how much she listened to Madam Chen's words.
Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter whose temper was on the rise, and knew her a little bit. She stroked her cheeks that had been medicated, and comforted her in a low voice: "You are a piece of flesh that fell from your mother. How can I not feel sorry for you as a mother. Think about it, even if you don't plan for your marriage with Mr. Zhao Er, you should also think about your third brother's official career. Straighten your back, don't you? Didn't you want to make some new clothes a few days ago? I'll greet the housekeeper tomorrow, and you go to the warehouse to pick out some fabrics you like, and choose some beautiful jewelry. "
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter who was still depressed, and knew that she couldn't listen to what she said, so she didn't say anything more, and left with her maid. As the daughter of the Chen family, she should figure it out by herself.
After Mrs. Chen stepped out of the room, Chen Ling'er grabbed the vase next to her and threw it on the ground, causing the little maid next to her to yell.
Chen Ling'er gasped heavily, staring angrily at the ground not far away, but remembered two names in her heart, Zhao Jing and Chen Xing.
Today they caused her to lose so much face in front of everyone, she will definitely take revenge when she finds a chance!
