Xianjin lowered his head and listened to Madam Qu's long speech. His eyes became extremely calm, like the clear and calm water in a well.
If there is no wind blowing on the water in the well, there will naturally be no waves.
Of course, it can also be understood that no wind or rain can affect the well water.
Xianjin sat on the bench, and when Madam Qu had nothing more to say, he finally raised his eyes, gently placed the volume of "Concubine Documents" in his hand beside him, and said gently, "Madam, I have been in the Chen family for nearly ten years, and have worked for the Chen family for three or four years. From my childhood to now when I am independent, I have been working for the Chen family, eating the Chen family's food. I have always been grateful to the Chen family, and I also claim that I have never had any selfish thoughts towards the Chen family."
She claimed that she was not someone who could endure humiliation, and she did not agree with many of Madam Qu's actions and remarks.
But she never left.
There are two reasons for this: first, the roots of Xuan paper are in the Chen family. No matter how complicated Mrs. Qu's feelings towards Xuan paper are, this craft has indeed been passed down in the Chen family for more than a hundred years. If someone gave up halfway, even if she was a great god, she would not be able to build a tall building on the ground and earn such a large family business for the Chen family for nothing;
The second is to repay a favor, to thank the Chen family for taking her in when she was in trouble. He Ainiang was raised because she was Chen Fu's concubine, and she was raised according to the standards of a young lady. It was obvious that it was Chen Fu who was raising her, but Chen Fu had been unable to give birth for decades, so in fact it was the entire Chen family who was raising her.
You have to acknowledge the cost of eating someone else's food.
Even if it was not eaten by the current He Xianjin, it was eaten by the previous He Xianjin. Having accepted this body, one must accept the other person's kindness and repay the other person's grace.
Xianjin wanted to say something, but heard Madam Qu sneer, "Selfish?! You have no selfishness?! Chen Laoliu had an affair with the rival family, he deserves to die; but Chen Laowu worked hard and made great contributions, even if he was wrong, his brother's life is enough!"
"Now, who in the Chen family is not yours?!"
"We keep Zhao Dezheng because he is useful! We keep Qu Da Mao because he is useless!"
"Without the secret help of Minister Cao, I might not be able to do these things so smoothly under your nose!"
Although Old Madam Qu was smiling, there was no trace of smile on her face. "Xianjin, as you said, I also watched you grow up. In the future, Erlang will enter the government and Sanlang will be the head of the family. The daughter of the Third Madam's uncle is a Buddhist and a vegetarian. You hold power in the backyard of the Chen family. You can manage the inner house and the business. You can get whatever you want. Which concubine can be as glorious as you?"
Is it possible that she can stop being a concubine?
Xianjin smashed the old lady Qu's words and laughed, "You want to demote me to a concubine again, and want me to continue to work hard for the Chen family - old lady, you have a good calculation, better than the old accountant!"
The Nian Zhangfang is a wizard who can only perform rituals with a small stick.
And you are a real old witch!
Xianjin smiled and picked up the "Document for Taking a Concubine" and read it again. He slowly stood up and tore it in pieces in front of Madam Qu, tearing it into pieces with a "crackling" sound!
"I won't sign it."
Xianjin stood up straight and stood beside Madam Qu. "I am a good citizen. The Third Master helped me to establish a female household. If you dare to force me to be a concubine, unless you have the ability to imprison me for life, unless you have the ability to make Shanzhang Qiao never return to Xuancheng, unless you have the ability to make Madam Cui never look for me, unless you have the ability to make the Third Master never know about it - as long as I have a life left to leave this door, I will roll on the nail board and kneel in the long street, and I will sue your Chen family until they are destroyed!"
Madam Qu's mouth twitched slightly.
The third wife, Mrs. Sun, shrank her neck in fear and looked at the scraps of paper on the ground, as if she saw her own old age - look at these scraps of paper, do they look like her skull that was crushed to ashes?
Xianjin was very imposing, his back was straight, his words were loud and clear, his eyes were shining brightly, and he looked directly at Madam Qu without fear.
Madam Qu finally smiled, her body and tone of voice were all laughing, "Is this how you are going to seduce Erlang?"
Her long golden eyelashes trembled slightly.
Madam Qu keenly caught Xianjin's flashing expression, and anger rushed to her heart along with the smile, "What do you mean by no selfishness? What do you mean by gratitude? What do you mean by vowing not to get married? They are all lies."
"You're playing this big game for the Chen family? Bullshit!"
“Ask yourself, do you really want to do business?!”
"Or is it that I want to use this as an excuse to seduce Erlang by acting differently from a well-behaved girl?"
"You don't want the Chen family's money, you want to get close to Erlang and rise to prominence!"
Old Madam Qu gnashed her teeth and spat out each word, without any reason or tolerance for any questioning, blatantly labeling Xianjin with labels such as "frivolous", "slut", and "scheming".
When Sun heard for the first time the reason why Old Madam Qu was angry, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: Oh my God, what the hell is going on!
She hated He Ainiang, although she didn't know why she hated her, but she just hated her.
Although she hated it, the best she could do was to ask He Ainiang not to leave after paying her respects, and to stand under the eaves for half an hour - she didn't even dare to ask He Ainiang to stand for an hour, or to ask her to stand when the weather was too cold, too hot, rainy or windy...
She hated Xianjin because she hated everyone in the house, but no matter how much she hated him, she just let He Xianjin eat vegetables and radishes!
He Xianjin is different!
She is so brave!
How dare you seduce Chen Jianfang!
He Xianjin dug up Chen Fu's father's grave, and maybe even Madam Qu wasn't so angry!
The look in Sun's eyes when he looked at Xianjin was instantly filled with admiration.
Xianjin's expression seemed to relax only for a moment, and then he put on a peaceful smile. After Madam Qu finished speaking, Xianjin tilted his head and spoke, "I seduced him?"
"He may be attracted to me, but I am not attracted to him."
"The Chen Erlang that sparkles in your eyes may not be as valuable as a piece of carved rice paper in my eyes."
At the last moment, Kesi Xuanzhi could save her life, but Chen Erlang could not.
"call out--"
Madam Qu was furious!
Swing the slap, falling hard from a high place!
But it has not been implemented!
Xianjin raised his arm high and grabbed Madam Qu's wrist tightly!
"I advise you not to hit me."
Xianjin said calmly, "If you don't want to go to the East China Sea to feed the hairtail fish."
Old Madam Qu was so angry that her entire chest was shaking, and her lips were stammering, and it was unclear what she wanted to say. Her wrist was held tightly in Xianjin's hand, as if it was being clamped tightly by some iron pliers!
Madam Qu shook her hands vigorously, but they did not loosen at all!
Sun was scared and hid behind Aunt Qu.
Second Aunt Qu was also afraid and hid behind Old Madam Qu.
The situation instantly turned into a game of eagle catching chickens.
The hen's wings were tightly grasped by the eagle's claws.
