111 Xiao Hua
In Qingyi's opinion, it was better for the suckling pig to provide Lao Zhangtou with better food than to put it in front of the spiritual tablet for the ghosts and gods to watch. //. 78 No pop-ups, fast updates // ~
The crutch in Chu Taijun's hand hit the floor with a thud, "You should reflect on your ancestors."
The crutch hit the floor, and Qing Yi's kneeling body shrank back a little, thinking that if she hadn't been frightened just now, the crutch would have hit her.
Caiyi almost killed her, but she was only punished by kneeling for an hour.
She just stole the suckling pig that was provided to her ancestors, and she didn't do anything outrageous. She could make her ancestors so angry that she forced her to kneel in front of the ancestor card until dawn.
Mrs. Chu led a group of maids away, the door was closed, and there were only two rows of trembling lanterns left in the ancestral hall. The cold wind blew, making it eerie and scary. ．
When it comes to matters related to their ancestors, Duke Chu and Yueniang are not too protective of Qing Yi.
They both had no choice but to sigh and leave with Mr. Chu.
Qing Yi doesn't feel that she has done much wrong and needs to reflect.
Looking at the pile of cold ancestral spiritual tablets on the table, I felt very bored and yawned all the time.
Before he could count the heads of his ancestors clearly, he leaned on the table leg and slept until the sky fell.
In her sleep, she vaguely felt someone picking her up, and the arms were warm and comfortable.
Qing Yi woke up and found that she was sleeping on the bed, covered with a warm and soft silk quilt, no longer in a cold ancestral hall.
The bed curtain was opened, and Xiao Tao glanced at her, with a cute smile on her round face, "Second Miss, are you awake?"
Qing Yi looked confused, "Why am I here?"
Xiao Tao handed her the clothes, "Last night Mr. Xiao went to the old lady to beg for mercy, and the old lady calmed down and stopped pursuing her, and agreed to let the young lady come back."
Qing Yi was a little surprised. He could do something that his father couldn't even ask for, "Who sent me back?"
Xiao Tao smiled, feeling that the young lady had become very confused since she fell from the building, "Of course it's Mr. Xiao."
Qing Yi's eyes narrowed slightly. It was him again. What role did he play in this mansion? "Does grandma know where the suckling pig went?"
Xiao Tao burst into laughter, "Mr. Xiao is really right. This is what Second Young Lady is thinking about. Even her kneeling last night was in vain."
Qing Yi coughed, "Why are you so talkative?"
Xiao Tao pretended to have a headache and stroked her forehead, saying: "I didn't steal so many things in the house, but I stole the roasted suckling pig for the ancestors.
He picked off the suckling pork and gave it to Lao Zhangtou·Bone and fed it to his dog. The offerings are gone, what else can I get? The old lady knew about this as soon as she entered the house, and immediately found out the young lady. As soon as the old lady sent someone to find the second young lady, the fall happened. "
Qing Yi was a little dumbfounded. It seemed that what she had done had been thoroughly investigated. "What happened to Lao Zhangtou?" She was punished. How could the old lady let Lao Zhang eat the offerings? head?
"I don't know. Mr. Xiao only told Xiao Tao not to talk nonsense. But the old lady doesn't seem to know that the second lady gave the suckling pig to Old Zhangtou."
After listening to Xiao Tao's words, Qing Yi became more and more curious about Xiao Hua.
Caiyi comes to see her every day, but every time she comes, she tests Qingyi to see if she really doesn't remember the last fall, which makes Qingyi a little bored.
In addition, although Cai Yi was suspected to be responsible for the fall, there was no evidence after all. In addition, he was very unhappy with Cai Yi's mother. As soon as he heard that Cai Yi was coming, he rolled into bed and pretended to have a headache, and asked Xiao Tao to send her away. go back.
After all, Tsing Yi is the real direct descendant. Although she has become a positive person, she always keeps her head down. Cai Yi is very annoyed when she repeatedly hits the wall, but she does not dare to say anything in person, so she vents her anger elsewhere.
Cai Yi came out again and bumped into Xiao Hua, who was coming. He looked back at Qing Yi's small courtyard, his face became darker and darker, and he stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Hua.
"She offended our ancestors. You asked the old lady for mercy yesterday. The old lady was already displeased. Now you go to see her. Aren't you afraid of upsetting the old lady?"
Xiao Hua looked indifferent, "A suckling pig or a human life, which one is more important and which is lighter, the eldest lady should understand in her heart. (·~)"
Cai Yi's expression suddenly changed, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Huaqing said: "The first fall was a coincidence. Is the second fall still a coincidence?"
Cai Yi's face turned cold, "What do you want to say?"
Xiao Hua said: "Mrs. Yue and her daughter have just come back. They don't want to get into trouble, but they can't be killed by others; and the general is not a fool. If anything happens, even if the lot is drawn, even the old lady must deal with it impartially. "
Cai Yi's face instantly turned pale and she took a step back, "What are you talking about? Are you defending her so much just because she is the legitimate daughter of this house? But now, I am no longer one of those lowly concubines."
Xiao Hua frowned inadvertently, "In Xiao's view, there is no distinction between legitimate concubine and concubine."
Cai Yi's cheeks turned red, "If there is no difference, why do you defend that girl and target me everywhere?"
"Xiao doesn't deliberately defend anyone, nor does he deliberately target anyone. He just discusses the matter based on the matter. If there is nothing else, Xiao will leave." Xiao Hua had no intention of continuing to talk about this recurring issue, and his clothes were fluttering. She walked by.
Caiyi shouted to him, "Although her mother is the first wife, you should understand who is more important and who is less important in this house."
Xiao Hua ignored him and walked away without looking back.
Cai Yi looked at his Sa Ran back, holding her breath no matter what she thought, stamping her feet hard, tears slowly gathering in her eyes. No matter what, she was no worse than Qing Yi, but since she was a child, he just wouldn't touch her. Take it seriously.
Dad is outside. Although he is a general who even the emperor must respect, but when he returns to the house, he has to listen to grandma in everything.
And although Qing Yi is his legitimate son, he is disliked by his grandma, but he would rather make grandma angry than protect that girl. It is really stupid.
Qing Yi asked Xiao Tao to send Cai Yi away. She felt much better and was about to roll back to bed to see if she could unblock the sealed bloodline.
Hearing a whisper from outside, he went to the window and looked out, and met Xiao Hua's dark eyes.
He glanced at the window, then turned away to talk to Xiao Tao.
Although the windows were closed, Qing Yi always felt that he saw her.
Qing Yi is not a thin-skinned person who feels uncomfortable being looked at by others. Even if there is no window pane blocking her, she can still look at each other openly.
If you don't look at Xiao Hua's ordinary face, with his spotless clothes and handsome and elegant temperament, he looks like the Marquis of Pingyang.
This made Qing Yi very unhappy.
If she fell down last time and met Xiao Hua before she died, then her crush on Marquis Pingyang must be because of the man named Xiao Hua in front of her.
But unfortunately, what she could remember about Xiao Hua was too few and too vague, and there were too many entanglements with Marquis Pingyang.
If you face such a person every day, it is really difficult to completely erase that person from your memory.
After Xiao Hua finished speaking, he glanced at the window where Qing Yi was and left calmly.
Xiao Tao entered the house and saw Qing Yi standing by the window. Knowing that she had seen Xiao Hua, she said directly: "Xiao Gong said that his grocery store lacked a concierge to watch the goods coming in and out, so he asked Lao Zhangtou to watch the door. The second young lady doesn’t have to run to Lao Zhangtou anymore.” After Xiaotao reported, she patted her chest and said, “It’s great now, I don’t have to worry about anyone knowing that the suckling pig went to Lao Zhangtou.”
Although Qing Yi was very satisfied with Xiao Hua's solution to Lao Zhangtou's livelihood problem, he didn't like hearing what Xiao Tao said next and curled his lips. He was just a suckling pig. How could he use his power to bully others?
Xiao Tao has followed Qing Yi since she was a child, and she was a little anxious when she saw her expression, "If the eldest lady finds out about this, I will definitely go to find trouble with Lao Zhangtou. Then the second lady will definitely want to protect Lao Zhangtou, and I will have to do it again." Fight. After this fight, it will still be Madam who will be in trouble."
Qing Yi frowned, her mother was really useless in this house, she didn't know what to do when she came back.
"What else does Xiao Hua say?"
Xiao Tao shook her head, "I didn't say anything else."
Qing Yi held her forehead and thought for a long time, but couldn't remember what kind of relationship she had with Xiao Hua in the past. She simply didn't think about it anymore and directly grabbed Xiao Tao and asked carefully.
At Xiao Tao's place, he also asked various questions about the situation in the house.
Mother Yueniang's father and father Chu Guogong's father were sworn brothers. They both worked for the emperor in the court. They were set to be married by their fathers when they were young. In addition, they grew up in the same place and were childhood sweethearts. Wait until the senior year to get married.
Unexpectedly, Yueniang's father was implicated in the coup, was exiled, and eventually died of illness in a foreign country.
After the father-in-law of Chu learned about it, he took the young Yueniang back to his mansion.
Chu Taijun disliked Yueniang who was in a desperate situation and had no supporter, but she did not dare to express it because of her husband.
Later, the old man passed away, and Taijun Chu became even more unkind to Yueniang, but he did not dare to disobey her husband's last wish and could not drive Yueniang out of the house.
But when I think about my beloved son marrying Yueniang, I feel like there is a thorn in my heart.
Xiangqin is the daughter of Chu Taijun's younger sister. Her sister felt that her husband's family was not living up to expectations and could not get a high position. Before she died, she entrusted Xiangqin to Chu Taijun to raise her. Therefore, Xiangqin grew up by her side and was able to talk and coax her. Happy and loved by her.
Chu Taijun wanted to marry Xiangqin to his son, firstly to maintain the relationship between her natal family and the Shangguan family, and secondly to squeeze out the powerless Yueniang.
When his son returned home drunk, he secretly pretended to be Yueniang with parsley, scented himself with Yueniang's usual fragrance, and climbed into his bed.
The Duke of Chu was in his prime at that time, and he missed Yueniang very much. However, he could not get married until the period of filial piety was over, so he had to endure it.
I was so drunk that night that I vaguely saw it was Yueniang, and all I smelled was the fragrance of Yueniang's body. I couldn't tell the difference between them, so I got things done in a daze.
That night Chu Taijun brought people to catch the traitor.
When the Duke of Chu woke up from his drunkenness, he realized that the person next to him was actually Xiang Qin. He was anxious and angry.
Chu Taijun used soft and soft tactics to force his son to marry Xiangqin as his wife.
But after the Duke of Chu sobered up, he could vaguely remember Xiang Qin's active temptation to him, and in a fit of rage, he actually wanted to strangle Xiang Qin to death.
He even refused to marry Xiangqin.
