Yuan Shuting slowly opened her eyes, enduring the discomfort of the light, and took a closer look, but she saw all fifteen sisters shrugging at her, which meant "Look, what are we talking about?!"
Suddenly, she couldn't help crying, and waved to her sisters to entrust the secret trust.
"Eldest sister, there is no need to say anything. We just made a rough guess. Since you didn't say it was wrong, we already know it in our minds. You can just tell us what to do?" Yuan Erniang said that it was all based on the eldest sister's orders.
Seeing her sisters nodding without hesitation, Yuan Shuting said slowly: "If you ask me, the most important thing is to contact the girls from the other twelve families. We are different from other families. We must work together to win by surprise."
"That's no problem! I have close friends from those twelve families!" Yuan Jiuniang said, patting her chest, "Sisters know me. I may not be good at reading, but I am good at reading people. That person is not It’s reliable, I can feel it right away!”
Yuan Shuting knew that what she said was true. Her father once said that Jiu Yatou had something special about her. She was born with no need for jealousy, but when she met someone she couldn't see clearly, she could be asked to help with her eyesight, but the result might not be the best. But you can avoid the worst.
"Well, the planners are more valuable than the rich. It's enough to have a reliable person to help contact you!"
"That's done, I'll contact you right away." Yuan Jiuniang held her own raccoon in her arms and held it up for everyone to see, "I have to leave it all to you!"
After she left, the girls chatted quietly and waited for the news to be heard.
Yuan Shuting stared at the candlelight blankly, recalling her father's last teachings in her mind.
"Ting'er, please remember that family honor, disgrace, and family responsibility are all bullshit! People are born to be human, and they should be human first. If anyone doesn't treat you as a human being, treat him like bullshit!
To be born into a home where bells ring and eat, you have to make sacrifices! Relying on the family that sacrificed the girl, it would be best to eliminate them early!
My son, you must remember that in the future, when your father is away, you must tell your sister to remember that no matter who it is, as long as it harms you and plots against you, don’t think too much about it. A backhand is just a knife. You can get it with such despicable people. That you are safe and happy is the most important thing. "
"Father, if you were still here, would you make the same choice?"
Yuan Shuting shed tears, and her heart kept echoing this question that was destined to get no answer.
"Eldest sister!" After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Jiuniang came in a hurry, holding twelve pieces of paper in her hand.
Yuan Shuting quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes and looked over.
"They asked you to meet in the back garden."
The back garden that Yuan Jiuniang was talking about is a garden behind East Street, where families usually meet and have gatherings and women play.
"Go out through the back door of each house, and you can arrive in half a cup of tea at most." Yuan Shuting thought for a while and said, "I'll go by myself, and you guys will cover."
Yuan Erniang opened her mouth, but considering that her eldest sister and her uncle had learned excellent riding and shooting skills, she said no more.
…
The Linting Pavilion in the back garden of East Street is the closest among the places where girls from the Thirteenth family often gather, so Yuan Shuting took the pony given by her father and went straight there.
When we got there, there was already a girl waiting against the copper lamppost.
After a while, other girls came one after another.
So far, the thirteen surnames of Yuan, Ou, Lu, Guo, Hou, Ping, Dai, Gu, Yi, Yan, Jia, Tong and Zou have gathered together.
"Yuan Yuan Niang, let's stop chatting and sign the oath first. Anyone who leaks the news will be killed by everyone in heaven and earth!" The lady in charge of the Heng family took out a pen and paper and asked everyone to copy the oath she had prepared. down and sign your name.
Yuan Shuting looked at the content and looked at Ping Guining with some surprise.
Okay, every word on this paper is a scolding for the family's behavior!
To be honest, based on this piece of paper, even if someone betrays her, I am afraid that the husband of the Thirteenth family will not be able to spare her lightly after reading it.
"Sign!" Yuan Shuting looked very relieved. Although the words on the paper were fierce, they were not wrong. The words "unworthy, unfaithful, unjust and unkind" were not exactly what the Thirteenth family had done.
Since she plans to rebel, she is not afraid that others will know that she signed this petition!
After the thirteen people signed and printed their fingerprints, everyone began to discuss what to do.
"How can we put it aside before we get married and say that each of our sisters can be trusted?"
The girl from the Gu family suggested that everyone tell the unreliable ones: "It's not to betray anyone, it's just to let the sisters take precautions!"
As soon as she made this suggestion, everyone talked about their untrustworthy sisters.
The most enviable thing is naturally the Yuan girl's concerted efforts; and the most incredible thing is the Jia girl's words.
"My second-in-law sister is either cowardly or clinging to the power. You should be careful when you see her. They like to tell the truth."
Everyone looked at the sneer on Jia Zhenzhu's lips and felt a little puzzled.
In other homes, there are at most one or two fearful people in each room, but here in Jia's house, all six girls in the second room are like this.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. They strongly support Qianqi's set of rules. They think that a girl is the most precious if she stays in the embroidery building all day long. It would be extremely unfair to show up in public."
Yuan Shuting and others were dumbfounded.
It's not that they haven't come into contact with the girls from the second wife of the Jia family, they just think those girls are a bit shy and don't like to talk, but they never thought they would make such remarks.
"They know the current affairs best, so naturally they won't show their thoughts outside! If it weren't for this big conspiracy, I wouldn't be able to tell them what they think!" Jia Zhenzhu curled her lips, "Humph, they just eat Without the pain of study, seeing that other girls are better than my husband, I naturally want to drag those girls who are chasing me down the whirlpool, and all of them will be immersed in the sea of misery."
This kind of person is bad, stupid, ridiculous and despicable.
"Forget it, let's not talk about them, let's talk about our solution!" Jia Zhenzhu changed the subject and asked, "We don't have much time to act. We have to come up with a quick and accurate way to solve the dilemma."
"It sounds like we have a choice!" The girl from the Dai family looked at everyone and said, "We have only two choices, either to convince the family leaders, or to directly settle the matter!"
"Haha, persuasion?!" The Lu family girl sneered and shook her head, "Do you think we can convince you with just a few words that the family has been planning something for a long time?"
"If it hadn't happened today, we would have kept the inside story secret for fear of panic at home. I'm afraid we would have kept it in the dark." The girl from the Hou family laughed, "Don't bother telling me!"
"If we want to convince them, we must first see them! No one can see them at this stall now! Even if they do, they will probably be suppressed as soon as they say a word!"
After the girl from the Zou family said this, the girl from the Tong family directly proposed to skip this option and directly discuss how to resolve the situation.
"Everyone, instead of talking to each other, just write it in the palm of your hand and display it for everyone to see."
Ping Guining's crisp suggestion won everyone's approval.
Yuan Shuting only wrote one word. After she stopped writing, she happened to see Ping Guining next to her write the word "Cao Ying", and she couldn't help but smile knowingly.
