As soon as Ji Shu stepped into the main room, the old lady shouted, as if to deliberately remind the people in the room.
Ji Shu glanced at the mother-in-law, said nothing, ducked through the curtain she had drawn, and entered the Nuan Pavilion.
The silver charcoal was burning brightly in the room. Ji Shu gave Xitao a hand warmer and bowed down to greet them one by one.
"Good day, mother and grandmother."
Li usually doesn't have a good attitude towards Ji Shu, but today she felt guilty, so she was extra attentive.
"Shu'er is finally here, look who's back!"
Qi Chengxu's face was expressionless and his eyes were impatient.
His marriage to Ji Shu was just an order from his parents. He was old enough to marry, and Ji Shu wanted to get married. It happened that Marquis Wu Ding fell in love with the Ji family, and the marriage happened.
Qi Chengxu didn't like Ji Shu at all. Although Ji Shu had a beautiful appearance, he was old-fashioned and boring. There was no comparison with Jiang Fu, who was always cute.
Afraid of being entangled by Ji Shu, Qi Chengxu looked at her warily.
Ji Shupi said with a smile: "Second Young Master."
"Why are you so angry, Second Young Master?" The old lady glared at Qi Chengxu angrily, "It's all your fault for being so angry back then. Look, you must have made Shu'er angry."
Ji Shu secretly sneered.
The old lady seemed to be scolding Qi Chengxu, but in fact she was slapping her. In her previous life, she would have been so afraid of being misunderstood that she would have knelt down to please others.
But this time...
Ji Shu found a seat nearby and sat down. He lowered his head and stroked his waist, pretending not to understand.
The three people of the Qi family suddenly stopped singing. Qi Chengxu's eyes were as wide as a bull's eye, wondering if Ji Shu really wanted him to apologize? !
It's ridiculous, the husband is the wife's guide, thunder, rain and dew are all blessings, she has to bear them!
Before Qi Chengxu could speak, Ji Shu raised his chin and motioned to the child hiding behind the old lady.
"I didn't notice just now, why are there two more children?"
Qi Chengxu said with a straight face, "These two children are mine. The elder brother is called Jinxing and the younger sister is Baoxin. In two days, they will be listed on the family tree and will be hung at your knees."
This commanding tone is really the same as in the previous life.
Xitao was so shocked that she couldn't help but lost her voice: "What do you mean by this?! Why are you hanging on the young lady's knees! They are not the young lady's children!"
unacceptable! On the day of the wedding, she disappeared without even having a formal ceremony. She didn't come back until six years later, and she brought two five-year-old children with her!
What a bully! !
Xitao wiped away tears.
Ji Shu handed her the silk handkerchief with an expressionless face and said nothing.
Mrs. Li couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so she hugged the child and said, "Shu'er, you have to be considerate of Ah Xu. It's natural to be lonely for six years outside the customs. Now that the child has come out, it's time to settle the old accounts again." It’s meaningless. Their biological mother has disappeared, so you are lucky to have a son and daughter for free..."
"Blessing?"
Ji Shu chuckled, stood up with a cold face, walked straight to Qi Chengxu, rounded his arms and slapped him.
"Ji Shu!"
Mr. Li and the old lady's eyes widened.
Qi Chengxu was stunned, turned his head in shock, and immediately became furious:
"You're crazy Ji! How dare you hit me?"
"I worked hard in the Wuding Marquis Mansion for six years, managing accounts and housekeeping, working hard. You lived a comfortable life in Weihaiguan. The children who lived outside the family for six years are now five years old. Shouldn't you be beaten? You are the one who is being beaten. .”
Ji Shu was not afraid of Qi Chengxu at all. He waved his hand and looked at Mrs. Li:
"Blessing? Do you want this blessing for my mother-in-law?"
Ms. Li choked, "I...you..."
"Qi Chengxu, this matter will not be settled that easily."
Ji Shu nodded at Qi Chengxu, turned around and walked away.
"Come back here!"
It took Li a long time to react, and when she chased him to the door and saw that no one was there, he turned back angrily.
Cursing in his mouth: "You bastard, you are still a lady, so ignorant of etiquette! How dare you attack your husband! My dear, are you okay?"
Mrs. Li held Qi Chengxu's face in distress and looked at it.
"Okay, the most important thing now is to stabilize her first! Ah Xu, you should coax her quickly. Don't let her file a complaint with the Ji family."
The old lady's expression didn't change much. She had figured out Ji Shu's temperament and the trouble wouldn't last long.
It happened suddenly and it was normal for her to be angry.
But Qi Chengxu is here, and as long as he coaxes her, the little girl's heart will soften.
Qi Chengxu's eyes were gloomy: "Don't worry, mother, I have a way to deal with her."
After that, he chased after him.
Ji Shu returned to the courtyard. Xitao's eyes were still swollen, and her tears finally stopped. She sobbed and asked:
"Miss, the second master is too bullying. Why don't I, my servant, tell the master and his wife!"
"There's no use telling me."
Ji Shu slowly poured himself a cup of tea.
Although her father doted on her, he was a pedantic scholar. Even if he knew about this kind of thing, he would only make Ji Shu endure it, and would ask her to find problems in herself, blaming her for why she couldn't control Qi Chengxu.
And her mother was weak and always obeyed her husband's orders, so it was even less possible for her to do anything to help her.
Ji Shu knew in her heart that she could only rely on herself for this matter.
"Ji Shu——"
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.
Ji Shu put the tea cup on the table, stood up and walked inside, "What else are you doing here?"
Qi Chengxu stood in front of her.
"I'm just telling you, if you don't recognize your sincere behavior and precious heart, you will end up without any children in the future."
"How can the second master curse my wife!!"
Xitao was furious.
Qi Chengxu ignored her, only looked at Ji Shu and said:
"I was injured on the battlefield, and the military doctor said that I will have no children in the future. Naturally, you can't have any more children."
Xitao was shocked and burst into tears all of a sudden.
Why are their ladies so miserable! !
Ji Shu looked into Qi Chengxu's eyes and couldn't help but admire his acting skills. He really couldn't see any flaws.
Qi Chengxu frowned and said, "I know I felt sorry for you when I left six years ago. The reason why I didn't take the child's biological mother back was because I didn't want to cause any trouble for you. Don't worry, you can take good care of Jinxing and Baoxin. I will stay in the capital and live a good life with you."
What a good reason to use her as a shield so that she could bear the reputation of jealousy and leave all the good things to Jiang Fu.
Ji Shu suppressed the hatred in his eyes, pretended to be shocked for a while, and sat down in silence.
"It's not impossible for me to raise him. It's just that I have to give an explanation to my parents and the Ji family about this matter. The second master can't let me suffer this anger in vain."
Qi Chengxu didn't expect her to be so ignorant, so he suddenly raised his voice:
"Then what else do you want?!"
Did she slap herself just now? Not enough trouble yet?
"Have you seen the brick floor outside, Master?"
Ji Shu said with a casual look: "The second master knelt outside my room all day and night and asked me to give an explanation to the Ji family. I will recognize those two children."
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the wind was freezing, she actually let herself kneel in the draft all day and all night!
Qi Chengxu's face twitched, and the hands hanging by his sides were clenched and trembling.
Ji Shu looked innocent, "Second Master won't? Then forget it. It doesn't matter if you die without a child. At worst, I can adopt one from the Ji family's sideline and still be able to take care of myself in old age. This will save me from being scolded by my parents and the Ji family being disgraced." people."
She gestured to enter the house, and the moment she took a step, Qi Chengxu hurriedly called her:
"stop!"
He gritted his back teeth and said, "I'll kneel down!"
