The woman, Qi, the mistress of the Fifth Elder, probably never thought that her identity would be revealed in such an occasion.
She couldn't help feeling a little flustered.
However, that hint of panic was just as fleeting as the sharpness and murderous intent that had just flashed across her eyes.
What's wrong with the last name Chen?
There are so many people with the surname Chen in this world!
Others can have the surname Shen, why can't her daughter have the surname Shen!
Thinking of this, Qi Shi calmed down. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head, first glanced at Shen Qiqi, and then looked at her daughter Shen Xinlian: "Xinlian, is that girl your friend? Why haven't I seen her before?"
As she spoke, she used her sleeve to cover her daughter's palm and wrote calmly: Don't panic, mom is here.
Then she gently squeezed her daughter's fingers.
After recognizing the words her mother wrote on her palm, Chen Xinlian's originally panicked and at a loss heart suddenly calmed down.
Her mother told her not to panic, which meant that she had already figured out a way to deal with it!
Thinking of this, Chen Xinlian suddenly felt that she had support behind her and was no longer panicked.
She raised her chin, squinted at Shen Qiqi, and snorted coldly: "Huh, who is her friend? I don't even know her. Who knows where she knows my name from?"
Shen Qiqi answered honestly: "I just found out about it too."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Xinlian and Qi Shi meaningfully, and made the mother and daughter feel very nervous.
Qi pretended to be calm, forced out a dry smile, and said to Shen Qiqi in a good-tempered manner: "So, the young lady and my daughter just met each other for the first time. You are of similar age, so you can try to get along with each other in the future. Maybe in the future, you can become good friends."
Shen Qiqi nodded, thought about it, and seemed to feel that this was not strict enough, so she shook her head and said, "Forget about being friends. Our Shen family has a strict family tradition and does not associate with concubines."
As soon as she said this, the crowd fell silent. They all looked at the mother and daughter inquiringly, with disdain in their eyes.
A mistress is like a rat in the gutter, disgusting wherever she goes.
Qi Shi didn't expect Shen Qiqi to be so direct and didn't show any mercy to her. She just bluntly said that she was a concubine. She was immediately angry and said, "Miss, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. What evidence do you have to say that I am a concubine?"
After a period of toughness, Qi softened and wiped her tears and said, "I don't have a husband. My husband died early. These years, I have been raising my daughter alone. Although I live in poverty, I also abide by my duties and never dare to do anything shameful to my late husband.
”
"The girl and I have never met before, and yet as soon as she opened her mouth, she said I was her mistress. May I ask, if I were truly her mistress, shouldn't I be living off a man? Why would I have to come out and do such a hard job as a vegetable seller?"
After Qi finished speaking, tears filled her eyes, and she looked at Shen Qiqi with pain and anger, as if silently accusing her: Girl, you and I have no grudges or hatred, why do you frame me like this?
?
Most people in the world sympathize with the weak.
Besides, the mother and daughter were indeed making a living by selling vegetables.
The people who were originally full of disgust towards the mother and daughter, after hearing what Qi said and looking at her face full of grief, anger and pain, suddenly felt that she was very pitiful.
There is always trouble around a widow.
With a child in tow, life becomes even more difficult.
There were widows who, after hearing Qi's words, unconsciously put themselves in the situation and couldn't help but blame Shen Qiqi.
"Miss, this lady is right. How can you say that she is a concubine without any evidence? This is a matter of great importance to our reputation as women. We cannot speak nonsense."
Although the words were accusations, the woman was obviously of a gentle nature. Her tone of voice was neither hurried nor slow, and as gentle as the breeze and rain. Even if the words were accusations, coming from her mouth, they did not sound offensive.
Shen Qiqi's target was not the Qi family.
The Fifth Elder's mistress was too alert and kept her mouth shut, so she couldn't pry any useful information out of her.
It is not easy to get the woman to say "We have never met before, we have never met each other before".
Her target is Shen Xinlian.
This girl's brain is simpler than her mother's.
As expected, seeing that some people began to stand on her side and speak up, Shen Qiqi bit her lip again, looking speechless, and Shen Xinlian immediately became proud.
"Why aren't you talking? Are you mute? Humph, I think you're just feeling guilty!"
Thinking of the great loss she suffered at the hands of Shen Qiqi, and then looking at the mask on Shen Qiqi's face, Shen Xinlian couldn't help but shoot a ray of resentment in her eyes.
She curled her lips and said sarcastically, "You don't even dare to take off your mask to eat in a restaurant. I'm afraid you have such an ugly face that you dare not show your true appearance to others!"
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. She cannot beat the little bitch now, but at least she has to see what the little bitch looks like and remember her face. When she becomes stronger in the future, she can take revenge on the little bitch.
Therefore, the meaning revealed in Chen Xinlian's words and deeds was to encourage Chen Qiqi to take off the mask.
Qi also had the same intention.
Even though Shen Qiqi was wearing a mask, Qi's eyes were sharp. Just by looking at Shen Qiqi's exposed eyes and mouth, and then judging by the outline of her face, she knew that even if the face under the mask was not stunningly beautiful, it was not so ugly that she could not face anyone.
Girls can't stand hearing others say they are ugly.
