Chapter 5
Although the instructions have been given, making clothes takes time, so Xiao Ji can only choose something less white from the closet to put on.
It's not that he hates white, it's just that white gets dirty easily, and the ones in the original owner's closet are all robes, so it's very inconvenient to wear them. And even if you only wear it once in a while, wearing white every day looks really unlucky.
"Where is my brother? It's almost noon, isn't he still awake?"
After changing his clothes, Xiao Ji was about to go out to inspect his new home, but as soon as he walked out of the door, he heard a clear female voice coming from the corridor nearby.
He looked up and saw a girl in a goose-yellow palace dress with dazzling pearls on her head.
The girl looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and her eyebrows were very similar to his... to be precise, she was fifty-six times similar to the original owner, but her temperament was not as gentle as the original owner, but lively and lively, with a bit of pampering. Innocent.
In addition, she is plumper than ordinary girls, looks round and round, and is very rich and lovable.
"Brother, you're awake!" Seeing Xiao Ji, the girl raised her skirt and ran over with the wind blowing at her feet, "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Her name is Xiao Jinzhu, the half-sister of the original owner, who was named the eldest princess of Qinghe by the emperor. Two months ago, when she was just sixteen years old, she moved out of the Xie family of the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion and married Xie Mingxiao, the prince of the Huaiyang Marquis. Now she lives with her husband in the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion most of the time.
Wait, this Xie Mingxiao seems to be the third male protagonist in the original work, whose presence is only slightly lower than that of the original protagonist. And his cheap sister seems to be a vicious female supporting role in the original work?
Xiao Ji, who suddenly remembered this, made a move and turned over the plot related to these two people in his mind.
Then his blood pressure began to skyrocket.
Xiao Jinzhu, the eldest princess of Qinghe in the Great Zhou Dynasty, has admired Xie Mingxiao, the prince of Huaiyang since she was a child. But what Xie Mingxiao likes is Cui Lingyan, the heroine of the original novel. But just as he was about to send someone to the Cui family to propose marriage, the emperor sent an imperial edict to recruit him as his consort.
For the benefit of the family, Xie Mingxiao had to surrender to his master, but he could never forget Cui Lingyan in his heart.
For this reason, he was very cold towards Xiao Jinzhu, his newlywed wife, and even felt disgusted in his heart that she had interfered and ruined his marriage with Cui Lingyan. Even when the two of them had sex at night, he was thinking about Cui Lingyan, the white moonlight.
In addition, he has been secretly guarding Cui Lingyan and provided her with a lot of financial care. He has been born in a wealthy family and has been regarded as Cui Lingyan's external wallet.
Xiao Jinzhu didn't know this at first, because Xie Mingxiao was a cold and distant person towards everyone, and she thought that his coldness towards her was due to his personality. But as a female supporting role that only exists to show how deeply the male and female protagonists love each other, she is destined to be unable to remain ignorantly happy. Therefore, only half a year after getting married, Xiao Jinzhu sadly discovered that her husband loved someone else. .
She couldn't help but ask Xie Mingxiao who that person was. Xie Mingxiao was afraid that she would hurt Cui Lingyan, so instead of telling the truth, she deliberately made Xiao Jinzhu think that she liked another female partner who couldn't deal with Cui Lingyan.
Xiao Jinzhu therefore became enemies with the female partner. On the other hand, Cui Lingyan is invisible under the protection of Xie Mingxiao, and she often comforts Xiao Jinzhu as her cousin and best friend - Cui Lingyan's mother and the mother-in-law of the original brother and sister are cousins, so the two families have a good relationship, and the three of them have been together since childhood. grown up.
Unfortunately, there is no airtight wall in the world. After being fooled for two full years, Xiao Jinzhu finally discovered that "Xie Mingxiao's true love is Cui Lingyan." This truth was like a bolt from the blue to her.
The double betrayal of love and friendship crushed her, and Xiao Jinzhu turned dark after that. She began to think of ways to take revenge on Cui Lingyan, but of course she angered Cui Lingyan's admirers and was slapped in the face again and again.
Xie Mingxiao also hated her more and more. Even though Xiao Jinzhu was still pregnant with his child, he never softened his heart. Even after hearing the news that Cui Lingyan was in danger, he was so anxious that he kicked down Xiao Jinzhu who was about to give birth and begged him not to leave. On the ground.
Xiao Jinzhu was heartbroken and died in childbirth. Xie Mingxiao just said expressionlessly, "She deserves it," and then stayed with Cui Lingyan as a friend and never married again...
Damn it, I can’t think about it anymore, my blood pressure will explode if I think about it anymore.
The disgusting plot made Xiao Ji pinch his knuckles hard, but at this time Xiao Jinzhu had already stood in front of him.
"Brother, why do you look so ugly? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?" Although she is quite senior in the royal family and is already married, she still looks innocent. The childish girl raised her head and asked in concern.
Xiao Ji looked at the cheap sister's dark eyes, and somehow he remembered the short-legged fat Corgi that his aunt had raised in his previous life - that little guy also liked to look up at him like this.
This association made his face look better. He came back to his senses and said, "No, I was just thinking about something. It's you. Why are you here at this time?"
"I came to see you and have a meal." After making sure that her brother was okay, Xiao Jinzhu felt relieved, "I haven't eaten the lotus leaf roasted chicken cooked by Chef Liu in your house for a long time. I miss you so much. Please let him go." Make me one... no, two, I will take one back to Brother Mingxiao, hehe."
Xiao Ji, whose blood pressure has just dropped a bit: "..."
Eat shit! That's a heartless scumbag. No matter how much roasted chicken you bring back, you still won't be able to feed him!
He rubbed his forehead sadly and decided to be the devil who directly broke her dream.
After all, this girl is the original owner's only sister. He is reborn in the original owner's body as a favor from him, so she cannot be ignored. Besides, a trash like Xie Mingxiao doesn't deserve even a little bit of care from this girl.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ji decisively turned around and motioned for her to follow him: "Let's not talk about it for now. Come here, I have something to ask you."
*
The courtyard where Xiao Ji lived was called Shuyunju. The courtyard covered a large area and even dug a lotus pond. There is a winding corridor built on the lotus pond, and there is also a waterside pavilion where you can watch fish by the water.
After taking his cheap sister into the waterside pavilion and sitting down, Xiao Ji dismissed the maids and servants around him and asked her straight to the point: "Do you know that before Xie Mingxiao married you, he wanted to invite someone to the Qingguo Duke's Mansion to propose marriage? "
Xiao Jinzhu, who was grabbing some fish food from the stone table and throwing it into the lotus pond, was caught off guard and was stunned: "What?"
All the fish food in her hand fell off, she turned her head quickly, the sweet smile on her face turned into astonishment, "I don't know... Qingguo Duke's Mansion, how could brother Mingxiao want to ask Qingguo Duke's Mansion to propose marriage? Qingguo There are only four girls in the palace, the eldest and two girls have already left the palace, the fourth girl is only ten years old, and only sister Yan..."
"The person he wants to marry is Cui Lingyan." Xiao Ji, who transformed into a devil, affirmed directly and emotionally, "I only recently learned that these two people who seem to have nothing in common on the surface not only have a close friendship in private, We even almost talked about getting married.”
"Impossible... This, how is this possible?" Xiao Jinzhu fell down on the bench in disbelief, "Brother Mingxiao and Sister Yan, they are not familiar with each other at all. They usually don't talk to each other when they meet... Sister Qie Yan He never mentioned this to me..."
Although everyone is in the same circle, Xie Mingxiao is a few years older than them, and has quite a lot of political talent. He entered the court as an official early, and has a relatively aloof personality, so he rarely plays with them on weekdays. .
Not to mention Cui Lingyan, even Xiao Jinzhu, who had a crush on him for many years and paid attention to him all the time, never got along with him much before getting married.
"I heard this from Huaiyang Marquis with my own ears. There is no lie. And when Cui Lingyan fell into the water yesterday, Xie Mingxiao also subconsciously threw herself on the board and wanted to jump off, but I was faster and everyone's attention was focused on me. They were all attracted to me, so no one noticed his abnormality."
The first half of this sentence was made up by Xiao Ji, but the second half is true - Xie Mingxiao was indeed standing with the original owner at that time, and the original work also focused on describing how he couldn't help but rush forward when he saw Cui Lingyan falling into the water. After a few steps, he was suddenly pulled back by reason.
Xiao Jinzhu looked at her brother with a blank expression and said nothing for a long time.
It wasn't until the fish in the lake jumped out of the water and splashed in the water to fight for food that she suddenly came back to her senses, holding back the sourness in her heart and said: "Even if, even if what brother said is true, it is all in the past. , Now brother Mingxiao is already my consort..."
"It's not in the past," Xiao Ji gave her another blow, "those two people have secretly communicated with each other. For example, yesterday afternoon, Xie Mingxiao just sent a century-old ginseng plant to Cui Lingyan to replenish her health."
Xiao Jinzhu: "..."
Xiao Jinzhu: "???"
