Chapter 16 Chapter 16 "You bitch, you hurt me!"...
Kill them! Kill them!
Crazy thoughts occupied her mind. Zhao Manyi clutched the scissors and walked to the door in a daze.
Finally, Jun Ge'er's little face flashed through her mind, and her red eyes finally regained a bit of rationality, and she stumbled back to the bedroom.
In the end, I endured it for the sake of my son.
Zhao Manyi grabbed the scissors and stabbed them hard into the bed curtains.
She was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night, and the noise from next door continued until the second half of the night, and it didn't stop until dawn. It was because a former colleague had sent an invitation to Li Che, but he went out for a social event.
Zhao Manyi felt it was ironic when she recalled the past few years of love and affection with Li Che.
When the maid entered the room to serve her, she was shocked by the mess in the room. Tea cups and porcelain were broken all over the floor, and even the bed curtains on the couch were punctured with holes by scissors, which looked very creepy.
The maid, holding a copper basin for washing, walked tremblingly to Zhao Manyi, "Third Miss..."
Zhao Manyi had been alone in her room all night, her clothes disheveled and her hair askew. She glanced at the maidservant and asked, unwilling to give up, "Did my brother-in-law stay in that concubine's room last night?"
Although the maid didn't know why she cared about this matter, she still responded with a "yes".
Zhao Manyi took a deep breath, looked up at the window, and tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.
The maid was afraid that if she stayed any longer she would find out something she shouldn't know and become an innocent victim, so she hurriedly put down the copper basin and went out to reply to Yuxiu.
After Liulizhai was allocated to Yuxiu, the eldest lady ordered that all the maids in the courtyard must obey Aunt Yuxiu.
After tossing and turning all night, Yuxiu finally got up at noon, holding her waist. She was not surprised to hear the maid's reply.
She actually heard the noise of something being thrown next door last night. Of course, she had to tell her grandmother about such good news. After washing up carefully, she went to Lanyue Pavilion to pay her respects to Zhao Qingyi.
After lunch, Zhao Qingyi was leisurely enjoying the cool air in the pavilion. On the marble table there was a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup in a glass cup and a small dish of candied cherries.
Yuxiu came over leisurely, and Zhao Qingyi saw a few red marks on Yuxiu's neck. She smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work last night. Please sit down."
Yuxiu was originally worried that Zhao Qingyi would be unhappy, but she finally calmed down after seeing people's hearts. "Don't worry, Grandma. I've used the contraceptive soup and won't cause any trouble for you."
She would not get pregnant after drinking the contraceptive soup. As long as she didn't get pregnant, she could find a way to keep Li Che at bay and prevent him from disturbing her peace.
Zhao Qingyi understood her intentions and asked Tan Yue to go to the storehouse to get some nourishing foods. "That's not necessary. Drinking too much contraceptive soup is not good for your health. I have some nourishing foods here. Take them back and make sure you take care of yourself."
Yuxiu hadn't expected Zhao Qingyi to care about her so much. She hurriedly bowed and thanked him, then looked around the courtyard. "Miss Qiaoyue took Jiao'er away last night. Why isn't Jiao'er here now?"
"I sent him to the Zhao family to study this morning. Don't worry, I will do what I promised you. What's more, Jiao'er is not only your child, but also my legitimate son in name only. I will naturally take good care of him."
Zhao Qingyi didn't dare to trust someone completely, even though she knew that Yuxiu was a grateful person. But people's hearts were unpredictable. Only when Li Jiao was in her hands could she grasp Yuxiu's weakness. As long as she didn't make trouble, she could give Li Jiao a good future.
It was understandable that she had such a plan. Yuxiu was only grateful and did not dare to say anything. "Thank you for worrying about Jiao'er, grandma. Oh, by the way, there is something I think I should inform you of."
She told Yuxiu everything about Zhao Manyi's madness last night. Yuxiu was frightened. Fortunately, the woman did not completely lose control, otherwise she would have gone into her room with scissors last night.
Zhao Qingyi held a spoon and slowly stirred the lotus seed soup in the glass cup. After listening to Yuxiu's words, the corners of his lips raised in a happy arc.
At this point, Yuxiu could conclude that the grandmother had deliberately arranged Zhao Manyi to stay in the room next to hers last night, and let her and the master stay in her room.
The lotus seed soup was soft, sweet and refreshing. Zhao Qingyi was in a good mood. "I understand. You go back first. Be careful recently."
Given Zhao Manyi's madness, she will definitely take revenge.
Yuxiu understood the deep meaning of Zhao Qingyi's words. In the following days, she would coax Li Che into her room before Zhao Manyi showed up.
Li Che has been suspended from work recently and has been out socializing with a group of colleagues all day. He always comes back drunk and is easily seduced by the jade sleeves.
Yuxiu, after all, was the woman who had spent the longest time with Li Che. She was used to being humble and never showed her temper, which made it easy for Li Che to fall for her. He lived a life of drunkenness and dreams in Liulizhai, and had long forgotten about Zhao Manyi. He was immersed in Yuxiu's gentle embrace almost every day.
Zhao Manyi originally wanted to give Li Che a chance, but he stayed in Yuxiu's room for several days in a row and didn't even know that she was in the next room. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the next day she went to see Yuxiu abnormally.
Yuxiu was waiting for her to make a move and didn't let anyone stop her at all. She even put on her coat slowly when she entered the door.
Zhao Manyi was holding a box of rouge in her hand with a smile on her face. However, when she saw the ambiguous red marks on her jade sleeves, her smile could no longer be maintained.
"Miss Third, why did you think of me today?" Yuxiu looked at her with a smile, as if she didn't notice anything unusual about her.
Zhao Manyi cursed Yuxiu inwardly for being a shameless bitch, but when she looked at her, she managed to put on a well-placed smile. "It's nothing serious, actually. I just bought a box of rouge at the market a while ago, but I realized it didn't suit me. I see that Sister Yuxiu is a little older, so this rouge would suit you perfectly."
She looked very kind and pushed an exquisite brocade box over. In her opinion, Yuxiu was just a servant who had never seen the world. She was lucky enough to have the opportunity to serve Li Che in the mansion. She must be a short-sighted person and would not refuse the things she gave her.
Yuxiu glanced at her. She could tell that Zhao Manyi was mocking her age, but she still accepted the box of rouge and said gently, "Third Miss, you are so thoughtful. I really like this rouge. I will use it on my face and match it with the new clothes that Master gave me. Master will definitely like it. If I am favored, the first person I will thank is you, Third Miss."
Yuxiu deliberately took out the dress that Li Che gave her to show off.
"Brother-in-law really cares about you. I'm afraid even my sister can't catch up with you." Zhao Manyi stroked the new clothes and said something against her will.
It wasn't made of expensive material, but it had a unique style, which was what she would like, but Li Che had never given it to her.
Zhao Manyi took this opportunity to stay in Yuxiu's room, touching this and that from time to time, and unknowingly said a few more words. If you didn't know, you would really think that she and Yuxiu had a very good relationship.
Only after Zhao Manyi finally left did Yuxiu's face turn cold. She asked the maid to put away everything that Zhao Manyi had touched, including the box of rouge, and asked someone to invite a doctor to check.
She was sent to the farm for seven years. During those seven years, even the most innocent and naive girl would be worn down by the people in the farm. She knew the dirty tricks used by women, so she was on guard everywhere and naturally would not give Zhao Manyi any chance to take advantage of her.
Finally, the doctor checked and found that there was nothing wrong with the rouge. The only problem was the new clothes that Li Che gave her and that Zhao Manyi had touched. The reason why the problem was found was that the maid touched it when she was packing things, and red rashes appeared on her hands that day.
Yuxiu sneered. She had thought Zhao Manyi would do something earth-shattering to retaliate against her, but it turned out that she just wanted to break out in rashes all over her body and disfigure her.
Let her teach Zhao Manyi what it means to hurt others and end up hurting yourself.
The new dress was washed over and over again, and two days later, Yuxiu put it on again and used the rouge Zhao Manyi gave her. Then she had another romantic encounter with Li Che. Afterwards, Yuxiu lay on Li Che and deliberately mentioned Zhao Manyi to him.
"Master, you don't know that the Third Miss is truly a kind-hearted person. Not only did she not feel that I was of humble origin, she even took the initiative to befriend me. Look at the rouge on my face. It was given to me by the Third Miss."
It had been a while since I heard from Zhao Manyi. When Yuxiu suddenly mentioned her, Li Che, who had a satisfied look on his face, was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Yuxiu's face carefully.
Would Zhao Manyi be so kind?
Could it be that Zhao Manyi already knew that I had been staying in Yuxiu's room recently?
Li Che suddenly became anxious, and then he remembered to ask, "Has the third young lady been in our house recently? Why haven't I seen her?"
With Yuxiu obstructing him, Li Che naturally couldn't see Zhao Manyi.
Yuxiu smiled softly, "Sir, you are so mean. The third young lady lives in the next room."
Li Che, who was originally comfortable, sat up with a flash of horror in his eyes, "What did you say? She, she is next door?"
Until now, he didn't know that Liulizhai was the courtyard where Yuxiu was. Every time they were intimate, he was lured in by Yuxiu.
Now that he heard that Zhao Manyi had been staying next door, he could no longer sit still. He stood up and was about to leave the bed. He thought to himself, oh no, beauty really can lead to misleading people. There had been no news for so many days. Based on his understanding of Zhao Manyi, she must be planning something big.
"I suddenly remembered that I have some important matters to deal with."
"Then you'd better go back quickly, sir." Yuxiu didn't stop him. She watched Li Che stumble out and slowly stroked a strand of long hair in front of his chest.
After Li Che left the house, he didn't dare to go directly to the next room. He returned to his own room first, looked left and right in the mirror, and after making sure there were no signs of sexual intercourse with others, he went to Liulizhai again. This time, he finally raised his head to look at the plaque on the gate of the courtyard, and felt remorseful.
I really don’t know what Zhao Manyi will do in a while.
He took a deep breath, walked towards the wing room, and knocked on the door quietly. No one answered, so he lowered his voice and shouted a few times. Just when he thought there was no one in the room and was about to leave, a scream suddenly broke out from inside.
"Ah—my face! My face!"
Li Che didn't care about anything else and rushed in. He saw Zhao Manyi sitting in front of her dressing table in the dim bedroom, shaking her head in front of the mirror, looking like a madman.
"Man'er, Man'er, what's wrong with you?"
Li Che stepped forward quickly and was about to hug Zhao Manyi, but when the other person turned her face, Li Che almost screamed in fright.
He hurriedly took a few steps back and pointed at Zhao Manyi in horror, "Man'er, your face... why is your face covered in rashes?"
Zhao Manyi didn't bother to question Li Che and Yuxiu. She was so scared that her whole body went limp and she fell to the ground. She wanted to touch her face but didn't dare to. She kept screaming and crying.
The noise in Liulizhai was so loud that Zhao Qingyi, who had already gone to bed, was woken up. He put on his clothes and walked forward. Not only that, Li Susu of the Luo family from Qionghuatang also got up.
Zhao Qingyi was the first to arrive and walked straight to the wing room. Li Che heard the footsteps and hurried out to explain to Zhao Qingyi, "Qingyi, I just heard the noise and came over to take a look. Go check on your third sister, she seems..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Qingyi passed him and walked to the door of the wing room. Yuxiu also walked over. Seeing Zhao Qingyi, she hurriedly asked her maid to pull her away.
When Zhao Qingyi was stunned, he vaguely saw a few small red rashes on Yuxiu's face.
Yuxiu covered her face with her sleeves, "Grandma, you'd better stay away from the Third Miss. The Third Miss's face is terrible. That rash seems to be contagious!"
Upon hearing that it was contagious, Tan Yue Qiaoyue, who was following behind Zhao Qingyi, quickly pulled her away. Even Li Che stood far away after a brief moment of daze, leaving Zhao Manyi to break down and cry alone in the room.
When Luo and Li Susu arrived shortly afterwards, they saw Zhao Manyi running out of the room and grabbing Yuxiu's neck in front of everyone. "It's all your fault! You bitch, you ruined me!"
