hand
"Brother Yun?" Zou Shuangqiao saw Cui Zhiyun was speechless and stepped forward to touch him gently. "Why don't you say anything?"
Cui Zhiyun subconsciously took a half step back.
He knew that the person in front of him either didn't understand what he was saying or was pretending to be stupid.
Cui Zhijun was about to open his mouth to dismiss him when Zou Shuangqiao immediately approached him and said flatteringly, "Brother Yun, now that I'm here, why don't you invite me in to sit down? This is my first time in your courtyard. Besides, it's quite cold out here, so it's not convenient for us to talk here."
Inconvenient? It’s only inconvenient once you get inside!
The four words shameless,
This is most vividly reflected in Zou Shuangqiao.
She had been so blunt yesterday, yet she hadn't even been given the slightest admonition. Cui Zhijun was truly speechless with such a person. He simply said, "If Madam Zou had come to apologize today, there would have been no need for this. Consider yesterday's incident my fault. I offended you, Madam Zou. I apologize."
"I have something else to do, please go back."
Cui Zhijun was very disgusted, but still responded respectfully.
This is his character as a gentleman.
But Zou Shuangqiao couldn't tell right from wrong. She just felt Cui Zhijun might be pushing his limits. She immediately pulled at her sleeves and burst into tears in front of Cui Zhijun. "Brother Yun, are you trying to kick me out? I spent the entire night reflecting on my mistakes. This morning, I ignored my leg injury and spent the entire morning making soup to apologize to Brother Yun. I finally waited for Brother Yun to come here and beg for forgiveness. It would be fine if Brother Yun didn't even give me a chance to mend my ways, but now he's kicking me out."
"Brother Yun is a little too cruel."
"Mrs. Zou..." Cui Zhijun wanted to interrupt, but found that he couldn't get a word in.
Seeing that her gentle show of weakness didn't seem to work on Cui Zhiyun, Zou Shuangqiao resorted to a more aggressive approach, acting like a scoundrel. "Brother Yun, if you want me to leave, fine. Just drink a bowl of the soup I made for you, and I'll never mention what happened yesterday or today again. Let's just write it off. Otherwise, if you refuse to drink a bowl and betray my kindness, I won't leave today."
If you don’t leave, then don’t leave…
Cui Zhijun frowned. If she didn't leave, he would leave.
Zou Shuangqiao's despicable tactics could only fool a fool like Cui Zhilin, or a dandy with ill intentions who wanted to take advantage of others. For someone as upright as Cui Zhijun, believing her any more would be a disdain for a gentleman's self-discipline.
Cui Zhijun said nothing, walked around the person in front of him and left without looking back.
Zou Shuangqiao's eyes widened, and he turned around and pointed at Cui Zhijun in disbelief and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going before I finish my words——"
This person is too abnormal.
It's just sick.
Zou Shuangqiao cursed inwardly, but seeing no one around, she had a sinister idea. It seemed like getting that bowl of soup into Cui Zhijun's mouth would be harder than climbing to heaven. She thought she might as well make a big deal out of it and smear Cui Erlang's reputation as a hypocritical person.
Then he will be the one begging for mercy.
Putting the food box down casually on the corridor, Zou Shuangqiao picked up the pearl hairpin and rushed towards Cui Zhijun.
Unexpectedly, someone ran into the yard panting, disrupting her trick. Zou Shuangtong stood still about ten feet away from Cui Zhijun. When Cui Zhijun saw the person, he smiled knowingly and called out gently, "Xiao Zheng."
When Ke Zheng saw the two people in the yard, she took a breath and thought to herself: Oh my God, they are right, this person is really here!
Then hurriedly ran forward, Zheng grabbed Cui Zhijun and led him to the bottom of the courtyard gate. Cui Zhijun was a little confused. He was afraid that Taishi Zheng would misunderstand, so he opened his mouth to explain to the people around him, "What's wrong with you? The lady of the Zou family and I have never-"
Upon hearing this, Zheng suddenly covered Cui Zhijun's mouth, turned her head and pointed towards the door, not daring to say a word.
Cui Zhijun looked in the direction his wife pointed. Several servants from the Prince's Mansion stormed through the threshold. Upon seeing the owner of the Silver Bamboo Hall, they bowed. The leading maid said, "Your Highness, we are here to arrest someone on the orders of the County Master. We apologize for any offense. Please forgive us."
I don't know whether this was the county lady's instruction or the old lady's own idea.
She didn't seem to care whether Taishi Zheng opened her mouth or not. She just went through the motions, then waved her sleeves and shouted, "Catch this bitch and bring her to the county lady!"
Cui Zhijun turned away in confusion.
He could tell that the person in front of him seemed to know something...
-
A quarter of an hour ago, the sky was getting dark and it was almost the time agreed with Xiaoyu. Tai Shi Zheng took Xiaoyu's hand and said he would take her home.
Xiaoyu just stood there in a daze.
Zheng lowered her eyes and saw the little girl staring at the path she walked on every day, with a hint of hesitation.
She placed her warm palm on the little girl's head and asked calmly, "What's wrong, Xiaoyu? Don't you want to go back? But since Xiaoyu promised Auntie, you must keep your promise, okay? If Xiaoyu keeps your promise, Auntie will bring Xiaoyu out tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoyu pulled up the corner of Taishi Zheng's clothes and looked up at him.
Xiaoyu seemed to have something to say.
But when Zheng squatted down, Zou Shuangtong suddenly appeared on the path from nowhere. She met Zheng's eyes and immediately pretended to be anxious. "Stinky girl, so you are here - who told you to run around on your own and make me look for you so hard? Let me teach you a lesson."
Zou Shuangtong rushed forward in a rage, frightening Xiaoyu so much that she hid in Taishi Zheng's arms. Zheng was also surprised by the man's anger and quickly raised her hand to stop him. "Mrs. Zhisong, please talk nicely. Xiaoyu understands everything. Why are you so impulsive as to hit the child?"
"My child, I will spank you whenever I want. I don't need anyone else to tell me anything!"
Zou Shuangtong really took the wrong medicine today.
In the past, I would say a few words first, and then argue with him when it seemed that we were not getting along. Why are you not pretending today?
Zheng was completely confused by her behavior.
She felt something was wrong, but couldn't put her finger on it. Seeing this, Fu Yuanzi rushed forward and placed herself between Taishi Zheng and Zou Shuangtong. She would rather take a beating than let Zou Shuangtong touch Taishi Zheng.
Seeing this, Zheng picked up Xiaoyu, who was buried in her body and sobbing quietly, and asked softly, "Xiaoyu, did you sneak out today? You wanted to go out to play, but why did you run away without telling your mother? Your parents will be worried if they can't find you, don't you know?"
"No, it's not Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu doesn't have it...it's..."
Xiaoyu felt very aggrieved after hearing what Taishi Zheng said.
She rubbed her red eyes, subconsciously glanced at Zou Shuangtong, swallowed her words, and burst into tears. Zheng saw that she couldn't get anything out of her, so she hugged the little girl in her arms. She knew that there must be something going on between the mother and daughter, and asking more would be useless.
But complicated things become more and more chaotic.
All piled together.
Zheng had just opened her mouth to call out "Wife Zhisong" when Qi Yijun came over angrily with a group of retainers.
Zheng couldn't help but wonder, "County Lady?"
In the next second, Zou Shuangtong's face paled at the mention of Qi Yijun's name. She quickly turned around to confirm whether Taishi Zheng was lying. But upon seeing the familiar figures, Zou Shuangtong was stunned.
She...why is she back?
That's impossible! Didn't he say he was going home for a short stay? It shouldn't be this soon!
It's bad, it's bad. I don't know what's going on with Zou Shuangqiao...
“Snap—”
Before Zou Shuangtong could finish her calculations, Qi Yijun landed a cold palm on her cheek.
The blow was so powerful that Zou Shuangtong felt dizzy and had no time to dodge. The pearl hairpin on her head fell off.
Zheng was stunned, and saw her looking at the person in front of her with a confused look on her face.
Fortunately, Xiaoyu was in Zheng's arms, her back to the crowd, and she didn't witness Zou Shuangtong's miserable state. Otherwise, what kind of harm would such a scene bring to the child? Zheng didn't dare to think about it. Coming back to her senses, she quickly stuffed the little girl into Fu Yuanzi's arms and whispered to her to take the child back to Lanchun Garden first to prevent any further trouble.
Fu Yuanzi nodded, picked up Xiaoyu and walked out of the crowd.
Watching Fu Yuanzi leave, Zheng finally sighed softly. She turned her gaze back to Zou Shuangtong, who had been so arrogant in front of the child just now, now, after being slapped by Qi Yijun, she didn't even dare to breathe. Zheng watched the situation unfold. Zou Shuangtong opened her mouth but only timidly called out, "Sister-in-law, you..."
But Qi Yijun was furious at the moment, so how could she want to listen to her nonsense? Her ruthless eyes seemed to want to tear the person in front of her into pieces.
"Pa——" Qi Yijun slapped him again without saying anything.
Zheng could see that she was venting her anger.
But this wasn't the way to go. No matter how many slaps she received, if the issue wasn't resolved, even beating her to death wouldn't help. So, Zheng, undeterred by Qi Yijun's authority, resolutely grabbed her falling hand.
Qi Yijun shifted his gaze, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Young Prince, do you want to meddle in this trivial matter?"
Zheng shook her head. "I don't care about this matter. But Zhilin's wife, I still want to remind you. This is the uncle's mansion. No matter what our status is outside, we are all daughters-in-law of the same family. What you did is really against the rules. Just say what you want to say."
Qi Yijun gave Taishi Zheng some face. She suppressed her anger, looked at Zou Shuangtong indifferently and asked, "Where is that bitch?"
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this..." Zou Shuangtong was still delaying and being stubborn.
Qi Yijun suddenly sneered. Using her remaining patience, she asked, "Zou Shuangtong, have you thought it through? Are you ready to answer me like this? If we can't find her, then you'll take the blame for her. After all, you're sisters. My dear, is that right?"
Zheng let go of Qi Yijun's arm and fell silent.
Zou Shuangtong knew that Qi Yijun was not as gentle and bright as Tai Shi Zheng. She had been spoiled since childhood and acted domineeringly. If she fell into Qi Yijun's hands, even the old lady could not protect her. It would be better for her to sell her sister out and protect herself.
"People... people are in... Yinzhu Yatang." When faced with a disaster, everyone fled for their lives, and Zou Shuangtong could not care about anything else at the moment.
Qi Yijun couldn't believe it, so he asked again: "Where is the person?"
Zheng raised her head and thought nothing more, "Didn't the county lady hear? Mrs. Zhisong said that the person is in Yinzhu Yatang."
Silver Bamboo… Elegant Hall…
The more Zheng thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
Until Qi Yijun looked at her in disbelief, and everyone present turned their eyes to themselves.
Zheng finally came to her senses from the confusion.
Wait, wait,
Isn't this referring to one's own home?
