Ji Shushi turned around and watched Qi Chengxu walk out of the main room and into the courtyard.
After some mental preparation, I lifted my skirt and knelt in the snow.
The sun hanging overhead illuminated the whole world very brightly.
Facing Qi Chengxu's resentful gaze, Ji Shushi turned around and entered the main room, and smoothly lowered the curtain to isolate the two worlds inside and outside the room.
Early the next morning, Ji Shu fell asleep and woke up naturally. She had never felt so comfortable.
In her previous life, she had to get up before the rooster crowed and go to the old lady and Mr. Li's yard to say hello. Whoever wanted to go in this life could go.
Xitao stepped forward and gave her the warm and wet handkerchief, and while she was washing her face, she said:
"Second Master was carried back this morning. I heard that people were frozen into ice sculptures. No one was watching yesterday, and I don't know when they were frozen."
Xitao's voice sounded a little gloating. In the past, she could still respect her uncle, but since Qi Chengxu caused this mess.
Xitao vowed not to recognize her uncle again in the future.
"The old lady and my wife sent several people this morning to see the young lady, but they were all sent away by the servants."
"Sooner or later we will come again."
Ji Shu threw the handkerchief back into the copper basin and said to Xitao: "Call the courtyard to prepare a sedan and take me to Fushou Garden later."
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative.
Xitao responded, and soon the sedan arrived outside the old lady's Fushou Hall. Mother Song, who was ordered to wait in the courtyard, saw this and turned around to go into the house to report.
Li was furious after hearing this and cried to the old lady:
"Mom, look, this Ji family has gone too far! Last night, A Xu knelt in the ice and snow all night! She was good, she fell asleep unconsciously! She didn't even come to say hello in broad daylight! She only appeared at three o'clock in the morning, huh, huh? He came in a sedan chair, and he was the boss!"
The old lady twisted the beads in her hand and recited Buddhist sutras with her moving lips, but there was no trace of Buddha nature in her eyes.
Qi Chengxu was half-lying on the Arhat bed, his whole body covered in cotton clothes, and his lips were still purple.
At this time, the mother-in-law outside sang:
"The young lady has arrived——"
Ji Shu walked into the inner room and bowed faintly.
Li didn't notice it at first, but now she saw that the waist Ji Shu bent down in salutes in the past was much lower than this!
She gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Ms. Ji, you are finally awake, but have you ever thought that your husband has been suffering all night?"
Qi Chengxu clenched his teeth and stared at Ji Shu.
Bang——
The old lady patted the Buddhist beads on the table next to her, "Ms. Ji! You asked A Xu to freeze outside your room all night! That's too much!"
"Second Master has been marching for many years, and just kneeling for a day and a night is too much. Then asking me to raise the children for my wife for nothing, is it even more too much?"
Ji Shu took a seat to the side and sat down slowly.
The expressions of Mrs. Li, the old lady and Qi Chengxu all changed.
Looking at this look of someone who hated her so much but couldn't do anything to her, Ji Shu felt very happy.
She smiled and said: "I will tell my parents about this tomorrow. The second master refuses to give an explanation to the Ji family and me. How can this marriage continue?"
"Forget it, forget it, you have to kneel down, it's time to calm down! Shu'er, you and A Xu have been married for six years, don't say stupid things!"
Li realized that Ji Shu was trying to be serious, and her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.
The Wuding Hou Mansion still needs the Ji family, and a capable eldest daughter-in-law like Ji Shu would be extremely rare to miss.
The old lady struck while the iron was hot, "Since we are here, why don't you recognize the two children? They are both very sensible!"
"Okay! Baoxin!"
The sound of footsteps came from behind the warm curtain, and Song's mother walked in with Qi Jinxing in her arms and Qi Baoxin in her arms.
Behind him was a slender girl with a delicate appearance.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Qi Chengxu from a distance through the crowd.
Just now in the ear room, Jiang Fu felt bad when she heard Ji Shu talking about the outside room.
At Weihaiguan, she and Brother Xu also worshiped in the fields and told the gods that they were obviously a serious couple, but now they were humiliated into having an affair.
When Qi Chengxu saw Jiang Fu's aggrieved look, his heart ached and he struggled to sit up.
Ji Shu glanced at Jiang Fu, suppressed the anger rising in his eyes, and raised his hand to tease Qi Jinxing.
Li stepped forward enthusiastically, "Xing'er, Baoxin, call someone quickly."
"Mother, mother——"
Both of them looked timid, Ji Shu's smile remained unchanged and his face was gentle.
"Don't be afraid. I will be your mother from now on. You have to get used to it. Be good and shout louder."
"Mother - dear -"
Ji Shu was satisfied, Jiang Fu hid behind others, her heart ached and she couldn't stop her tears.
Her and Brother Xu's child actually wants to call another woman mother!
Jiang Fu's eyes were filled with jealousy as she stared at Ji Shu. Unexpectedly, Ji Shu, who was teasing the child, suddenly looked up.
She frowned and asked curiously: "Why is this girl... why did she cry for no reason?"
Li Shi hesitated and said quickly, "This, this is Fu'er, the adopted daughter of the old lady!"
Li Shi gave Jiang Fu a warning look and warned her to be smarter!
Doesn't she know that her identity is a dynamite? If the Ji family finds out, the Wuding Marquis Mansion will lose its skin even if it is not destroyed!
What a crime. If she hadn't had a child, she wouldn't have let Qi Chengxu take this Sangmenxing back!
"Come and sit down and talk, don't crowd at the door."
Several people found their seats and sat down.
The old lady smiled and explained to Ji Shu: "Shu'er, I used to raise Fu'er in Jiangnan, and she happened to come back yesterday. It's just that she went to bed early and you didn't see her. She will stay at the house in the future."
Ji Shu smiled and looked at Jiang Fu, "It's my aunt. Why was my aunt crying just now?"
"I, I..." Jiang Fu hesitated and couldn't explain.
The old lady was so angry that she had a headache, and she quickly said, "Ah, Fu'er must have thought of her parents. Her parents left early..."
"Yes, yes, I am...when I saw Shu'er teasing Jinxing, I thought of my mother..."
Jiang Fu gritted her teeth, not caring that she had become the daughter of her enemy, and hurriedly mumbled.
Feeling aggrieved, she secretly flirted with Qi Chengxu.
The two looked at each other across the Milky Way like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
'Queen Mother' Ji Shu smiled and said nothing, lowered her head and scratched Qi Baoxin's chin, and saw her eyes staring directly at the necklace around her neck.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Baoxin likes this?"
Qi Baoxin's eyes were bright and he nodded vigorously, "I like it!"
"Then I'll give it to Baoxin as a greeting gift from my mother." Ji Shu directly asked Xitao to take it off for her, and put it on Qi Baoxin with a smile.
Xitao was very hesitant and couldn't help but say: "Young Madam, this is the tribute given to you by the Queen Mother last year..."
Li frowned displeased and interrupted Xitao:
"It's just a small toy. Baoxin is the young lady in the house. Is there anything in this house that she can't get? Do you think so, Ji?"
Ji Shu smiled lovingly and said nothing, seeming to acquiesce.
Qi Baoxin looked at the bejeweled woman in front of him with greedy eyes. He jumped directly into Ji Shu's arms and called her "mother" affectionately.
Jiang Fu's face turned green.
Qi Chengxu's expression softened when he saw Ji Shu. At least she treated her children really well.
Ji Shu slowly stroked Qi Bao's heart and hair, his face was gentle, but his eyes were like deep pools.
She wants to teach these people a lesson today.
All the gifts given by fate have their prices secretly marked.
Ji Shu said softly:
"Bao'er, please keep this Yingluo safe! This Yingluo is precious. There is only one in the whole country. It can buy a lot of food and fun."
These words seemed to ignite a signal. Qi Jinxing, who had been sleeping in Li's arms, suddenly raised his head, struggled and jumped to the ground.
The stocky body like a hill pressed towards Qi Baoxin, and his hand reached for the Yingluo around her neck.
"I want this! Give it to me!"
