The maid smiled and said, "Auntie, please change your clothes first. I will wait for you outside."
Jiang Fu rushed to the mirror and dug out the dossier to look for jewelry, trembling with excitement as she spoke.
"Yunhe, dress me up quickly!"
Ever since Qi Jinxing pretended to be sick, the people of Wu Dinghou looked at her yard like an iron barrel. Every day Jiang Fu was trying to find a way to contact Qi Chengxu to save her. She didn't want to go to Qingzhou, she had no one to rely on in this world. Damn, Qi Chengxu and Qi Jinxing are the only siblings left, and she doesn’t want to leave!
Yun He put Jiang Fu's hair into a bun, took the hairpin from her hand, and asked confusedly: "Why don't you wear the ones given by the second master?"
"If you use a trick once, it will look deliberate if you use it again."
Jiang Fu turned the hairpin in her hand and gritted her teeth, "These jewelry were left behind by my mother when the Jiang family fell. I asked him to help keep them before I left Beijing. He will definitely take them and look at them when I leave." However, when I use something, I just want him to remember how he felt when I left him last time!"
Yun He put hairpins on her, "These hairpins are a bit old, and they are too conspicuous when paired with the new clothes the young lady sent..."
"It just needs to be conspicuous. Otherwise, how could he notice it! Don't think that these things are no longer valuable. My mother has never been willing to sell them in her whole life. I heard that these were given to her by my grandfather."
Yun He was a maid bought halfway, and didn't know much about Jiang Fu's previous family affairs, so she said casually:
"Madam's mother's family must also be from a famous family. Although these hairpins are old now, they must have been of the highest quality decades ago. Why didn't the young lady go to her maternal grandfather's family for help when she was in trouble?"
"I don't know if they are from a famous family, but it's a pity that when there was a flood in Qingzhou, my grandmother and the others had already passed away." Jiang Fu sighed.
If she really came from a famous family, why did she end up like this?
Jiang Fu changed her clothes and rushed to Zhuoying Pavilion impatiently. The front yard was very lively. Jiang Fu spotted a noble girl and crowded in.
She tried her best to greet everyone with her long sleeves and dance, and the conversation was just right. A noble lady asked with a smile: "I have never seen this girl at a banquet before. I wonder which family she is from?"
Just as Jiang Fu was about to answer, someone behind her gritted her teeth and said, "Sister-in-law?"
Jiang Fu's back stiffened, and the ladies in front of her quickly stood up to greet her, "Second Young Master Qi."
Qi Chengxu replied with a smile, "Excuse me, girls, this is my third aunt's grandmother. The elders have something to do with her, so I want to take her away first."
After that, he grabbed Jiang Fu's arm and left. When he came to a remote corner, Qi Chengxu threw her away and asked, "Who let you out!"
"Today is, after all, the last day I will stay in the Marquis' Mansion. Could it be that the Second Master doesn't even want to give me a chance to congratulate the Marquis on his birthday?"
Jiang Fu's eyes turned red, "The second master and I didn't have a good meeting last time. I wanted to take advantage of the young lady's release to say goodbye to the second master this time... I'm just being sentimental!"
"Then you can come at night! Did you know that my eldest brother is here too!" Qi Chengxu squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "What if he recognizes you!"
"Not to mention how much I have changed in the past six years, let's just say that that night, I was rolled up in the quilt and thrown out before I showed my face in the brocade quilt. How could he recognize me? The second master didn't want to see me. To put it bluntly, why make such excuses?”
Qi Chengxu's face brightened slightly and he was about to speak——
"Qi Chengxu? What are you doing?"
His face turned pale, he looked up, stepped back and distanced himself from Jiang Fu, "Brother! Brother Ji, Brother Ji."
Ji Chengfeng stood not far away with a gloomy face, his fists clenched and his joints creaking. Qi Ye stood beside him, scanning Jiang Fu with cold black eyes.
Jiang Fu was stiff and didn't dare to move. Ji Chengfeng was about to step forward when Qi Ye reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Ask first."
Don't beat him to death first, it will delay the progress of the marriage and divorce. If you want to beat him to death, you have to wait for the divorce to be completed.
Ji Chengfeng glanced at him with a worried look in his eyes and raised his hand to throw Qi Ye away.
He and Qi Ye were not familiar with each other, but Ji Chengfeng admired Qi Ye's achievements as a man, so at the banquet this guy took the initiative to talk to him, and the two of them had a good conversation.
I just didn't expect that this person looked calm and decisive, but in fact he was also a brainless person.
Qi Chengxu: "Brother Ji, you misunderstood! This is the third aunt in my house, my father's adopted daughter! She, my mother asked me to look for her because she had something to do with her."
Ji Chengfeng's expression softened a little. Qi Ye raised his chin towards Qi Chengxu and said calmly: "Hurry up and don't waste time."
Qi Chengxu thought Qi Ye was helping him smooth things over, so he bowed gratefully, pulled Jiang Fu and ran into Zhuoying Pavilion.
"The champion and his brother are really close brothers."
Ji Chengfeng sneered angrily and walked towards Zhuoying Pavilion.
Qi Ye chuckled and followed.
Qi Chengxu let go of Jiang Fu as soon as he entered the garden. He held his forehead and said helplessly: "If there's anything we can discuss after we leave. You can go around here by yourself and don't cause trouble."
Jiang Fu nodded. The meeting with Ji Chengfeng and Qi Ye just now really scared her. She had no intention of socializing, so she found a deserted pavilion to sit down and relax.
After a while, Ji Shu came over from the corridor and said, "So my third aunt is here. It's easy for me to find her."
Jiang Fu looked at her with obscure eyes, with hidden jealousy and hatred in her eyes, and pretended to be calm in greeting her.
"Auntie, there's no need to be polite. There's an opera up front, why don't auntie come over and have a look?"
"I'm not going. I'm leaving tomorrow. If you let me go to the banquet, it's already against the Marquis's order. If I go to a crowded place and let others see me, won't I cause trouble for you again."
Jiang Fu pretended to wipe her tears. She was sure that Ji Shu was soft-hearted. He was framed by her last time and he stupidly helped her get out of the ground this time. As long as she suffered another misfortune, Ji Shu might be able to help her. Since Don't blame yourself for using her as a stepping stone for being so stupid.
"Shu'er, I couldn't help you with what happened to Brother Xing last time. Brother Xing is really pitiful. I feel sorry for him because he was scolded by the Marquis and the Second Master, so I had no choice but to take this step. My original intention was to save Brother Xing. Son, I don’t mean to harm you, don’t get me wrong…”
Ji Shu interrupted her, "Don't mention the past. Are you hungry? Xitao, ask someone to bring some snacks."
"Eh!"
Xitao glanced to the side corridor and raised her hand to grab a maid over.
Seeing that she didn't take the bait, Jiang Fu was so anxious that she didn't care about what to eat. She held Ji Shu's hand and cried miserably, "Shu'er, can you help me again? I really don't want to leave home. I have no other relatives except the Hou Mansion. , I really don’t want to go to Zhuangzi..."
Sudden! Snapped--
The desk in the maid's hand was knocked over, and the hot water from the tea bowl was poured on Jiang Fu's arm!
"ah!"
Jiang Fu screamed and hurriedly stood up and shook the tea on her sleeve.
The tea bowl and white porcelain dishes were smashed to pieces on the ground, and snacks and tea were splashed everywhere. The scene suddenly got out of control, and half the people in the garden watched.
Ji Shu stood up and retreated to the side. Xitao rushed forward, grabbed the maid's ears and cursed:
"How do you do things!"
"Sister, have mercy! I didn't mean it! I just saw my aunt and was temporarily distracted!"
The maid raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Fu. Jiang Fu's hands were so hot that she lost all feeling, and she spat viciously:
"You clumsy thing! Come on, take her down and reward her with ten boards!"
"Miss, please spare your life! I didn't mean it, miss, miss -"
The maid crawled towards Jiang Fu, hugged her thigh and cried: "Miss! Don't you remember my slave! I'm a slave! How can you be willing to beat my slave!"
