Chapter 71 Knowing They Are Acting
"Miss Zhou, look at this?"
"Your servant, what are you doing with me? Do you think I can make the decision for you?" Zhou Zhiwei wanted to see a joke, so he whispered to the servant beside him to bring some sour plum soup to Gu Rongyu, which was just right to relieve his boredom and fatigue from running all the way.
Gu Rongyu only looked at Chang Xixi's expression, not Zhou Zhiwei's. His eyes were earnest, knowing that the person acting just now was not an acting master, but his beloved wife.
Chang Xixi gave Qingnan a look, Qingnan nodded, and burst into tears.
Zhou Zhiwei frowned. Who on earth had lived in this mansion for more than ten years?
How could a servant be so uneducated? He started crying along with Chang Xixi.
Li Da and Ren Wen hadn't figured out what was going on yet, so they could only wait and see. But the weapons they held were no joke, especially Ren Wen's, which was stained with blood. There were also traces of blood on his body and clothes, revealing he'd been in a fierce battle.
Zhou Zhiwei suddenly felt that things might not be what she thought. Is Chang Xixi really a minor character?
Qingnan's legs were numb from kneeling, and he was about to stand up, but Chang Xixi held his shoulders and whispered to him, "Play some more. You finally got the chance to play the pig and eat the tiger. How can you not have fun?"
He felt a wave of despair. Oh my god! When will this end? Young Master, are you just going to let her do what she wants? Are you really not going to care? I say, Young Master, what's with that eager, expectant look in your eyes? Don't do this! Don't give up on me.
It was useless to ask the young master for help, as he thought the young master had completely fallen into the role of a weakling. So, he looked at the two people standing there like wooden sticks. Before he could mutter a word, Chang Xixi's performance began again, mainly a bowl of sour plum soup.
"Oh my god! What is this? It looks so delicious. Can I have a bowl of it?"
She looked at Zhou Zhiwei, and without waiting for Zhou Zhiwei to speak, she picked up the sour plum soup from the maid's hand and started drinking it. She gulped it down all night long. After drinking it, she touched her mouth with her sleeve and smiled. This action was no different from when Granny Liu entered the Grand View Garden.
She looks just like a female locust! Unfortunately, this female locust is quite good-looking. Not only that, she also has a gorgeous husband by her side, waiting on her.
"My dear, how can you use your sleeve to check my mouth? I have a silk scarf here, take it... That bowl of sour plum soup was originally given to me by Miss Zhou, so it's okay for you to drink it. Anyway, I don't like sweet things! If you want to drink sour ones, go ahead. Just don't let your stomach get cold, otherwise I'll be heartbroken."
Gu Rongyu handed the silk scarf to Chang Xixi. Seeing that she refused to take it, he gently wiped her mouth clean and then smiled gently.
It was this smile that instantly took Chang Xixi's mind away. Oh my god! He was so handsome, how could she want him! Her heart was occupied by Gu Rongyu's smile. It was terrible. She was about to have a myocardial infarction. Chang Xixi grabbed his hand and smiled. The look in her eyes was even softer than before, and her girlish demeanor was fully revealed.
Gu Rongyu couldn't control his heart any more. Thinking of her lips which became more rosy after drinking the sour plum soup, his heart was filled with excitement.
No, you have to control yourself and not lose your composure here.
He thought so and smiled shyly, "My dear, please don't hold my hand. There are people watching. I feel embarrassed because you are looking at me. Miss Zhou is here too... She fell in love with me at first sight, and seeing how close we are, I'm afraid she will be jealous. You are sisters and have lived in each other's homes for so many years, so there must be some feelings. Please don't do this... It makes me feel embarrassed. I am thinking of you, but looking at you... Miss Zhou, I feel sorry for your adoptive parents."
"Husband, you are right. We should be grateful and repay kindness, and we should not be ungrateful. Although we are not villains, nor great men, we are just ordinary people. But we must also have basic morality and dignity. We can't provoke Miss Zhou anymore."
Qingnan's legs were so weak that he couldn't kneel down. He had never thought of kneeling before a young lady before. Even in this situation, not to mention that the young lady had offended his wife, he was already feeling unbalanced.
The young master didn't know how to help him, or say anything, and even joined in the fun. He didn't act like a master at all, and now he's the lady!
"Miss Zhou, please, let me get up! My legs won't hold if I kneel down anymore. Why don't you just let me drag you out and give me a beating! Ten times, twenty times is fine. I can handle it, no problem. Absolutely no problem! I really don't want to kneel anymore. If you want me to kneel, can you let the two guys behind me kneel down with me too? They are also the master's servants. Why should I be the only one punished and they are not? I think this is unfair."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhiwei just smiled and said nothing!
Although she had not been taught etiquette by the eldest lady, she had learned some etiquette from the servants. At this time, she could not interfere with anyone who was not a servant of the Zhou family. Even if a servant of the Zhou family did something wrong, she had no right to interfere...
The Zhou family is a wealthy and powerful family, so naturally they have a housekeeper, a mistress, and a group of aunts, which are not suitable for a young lady like her!
Today, Chang Xixi's servant simply stood outside the door without asking for a drink of water, and failed to persuade the doorman to come in. This had disgraced Chang Xixi, and she punished him by making him kneel on the ground. That was Chang Xixi's business, and had nothing to do with anyone else, let alone her.
Although this is the Zhou family, the servants belong to Chang Xixi and she has no control over them.
Also, with Chang Xixi's attitude just now, that pretentious look, and the way he scolded her in various ways, who couldn't hear it? Does she need someone to remind her of this kind of thing?
Although she didn't grow up in this secluded place, she grew up in Wanfu Village. The shrews in the village were much more powerful than Chang Xixi. Take Li for example, hasn't she never come to the Dou family to make trouble for so many years? If this is not her credit, whose credit is it?
Chang Xixi couldn't possibly lure her into a trap! It seemed like Chang Xixi wasn't someone to be trifled with. She had to be careful with her next plan and not reveal any more clues.
"Miss Chang, you like that sour plum soup, so I'll have the servants make a few more bowls. There's no rush! You've been living in the Dou family for a while now, and you've even forgotten the etiquette of eating. You even married off on your own. It's really shameful."
