Chapter 91: Stealing a Chicken, Losing the Rice
Chang Xixi spoke cruelly, her purpose was to give Miss Lu the courage to live and not be tripped up by a man.
There will always be someone who doesn't despise her body. As long as she doesn't belittle herself, being alive is hope.
"Really? Is it okay? As long as I'm alive, I can see him die a miserable death?" The daughter of the Lu family grabbed Chang Xixi's hand and asked, her little face looking pitiful, pale and weak.
Instantly, Chang Xixi thought of Gu Rongyu who was in the same situation back then. He was bullied, and he was in poor health and couldn't refute.
I made up my mind and agreed immediately.
Miss Lu asked her personal maid to get her jewelry box, and took out a hundred taels of silver from the interlayer and asked Chang Xixi to help her, otherwise she would ruin her body.
Chang Xixi couldn't help it, so she accepted the money and agreed. It was just bullying a man, and she had plenty of ways to do it.
After walking out of the boudoir, she saw Lord Lu standing under the eaves not far away. Seeing Chang Xixi, he smiled bitterly and asked, "How is he now? Is he okay?"
"It's stable! Replace everyone around her, leaving only one personal maid. Arrange the others as masters, your confidants. I'm afraid something will happen again."
"That……"
Lord Lu was speechless! After all, it was his daughter who wanted to commit suicide, and it was not easy to cause trouble for Chang Xixi, who was here to save people.
He was helping out out of kindness, and he wasn't unreasonable.
He sighed, said thank you, and left.
After finishing the work here, Chang Xixi went to the front hall to find her husband and others, and then returned to Zhou Mansion overnight. As soon as they came back, they alarmed the eldest lady.
The eldest lady put on her clothes and made a big stool to wait at the back door overnight. Listening to the sound of the carriage approaching, she ordered people to light lanterns to make it brighter.
He thought they were thieves, but when he saw the group of people coming in, as well as the servants and carriages from the Lu Mansion, he seemed to understand something and turned to look at Zhou Zhiwei, "Do you admit your guilt?"
"Mother, I..."
Zhou Zhiwei knelt down with difficulty, "Mother, please forgive me. I didn't know about this and thought Miss Chang was kidnapped by thieves. That's why I made a mistake. Please punish me, mother."
"Of course you'll be punished, but Xixi is a guest now, and you should apologize to her for being so rude. I've always felt that you've lived in the countryside for many years and aren't used to the rules of the mansion. We've been pampering you, not letting you learn poetry or housework, for fear that you'll tire yourself out. You're not good at these things, and you started learning late, so I'm afraid people will laugh at you. Now it seems I've given you a good lesson. If this gets out, I'm afraid even your brothers and sisters will share your guilt. Go kneel in the ancestral hall for one night."
"Yes, mother."
Zhou Zhiwei then realized that the eldest lady didn't dislike her, but was actually indulging her.
The two parties who were walking in with Li Da and Qing Nan's hands heard the eldest lady's voice of punishment and Zhou Zhiwei's crying as soon as they entered the courtyard.
She asked, "What's wrong, Madam? What did Zhiwei do wrong?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you. But if you need to go out for something in the future, you must report it to the people in the mansion. How could you forget this rule and make people worry for nothing?"
Chang Xixi smiled and said, "Madam, I asked the child in the yard to tell you. He might have been sleepy, so he fell asleep after we left."
Speak of the devil, and he'll appear. Ren Wen rubbed his eyes, and without even fastening his belt, he walked over to Gu Rongyu's side, staring blankly, "Oh no, Master, the Zhou Mansion, the Zhou Mansion..."
Chang Xixi smacked Renwen on the head. "You little brat, all you do is sleep in. You're wasting time on important things, don't you know?"
When Renwen saw this scene, he realized... that he was in trouble. But fortunately, he explained it to the eldest lady, and it was not a big deal, so everyone dispersed.
After returning to Qingya Garden, Chang Xixi knew that Li Da must have a lot of people he could use, so she directly gave him twenty taels of silver and gave him instructions.
"Go check it out! Which family's son is the lover of the daughter of the Lu family? He's so tactless that he doesn't want to take responsibility for provoking the young lady. The young lady said that if we can help her get revenge, there will be a lot of money."
this……
Li Da looked at the money in his hand and felt it was very hot.
Are you going?
His eyes unconsciously looked at the young master who was reading by lamplight at night. Gu Rongyu just nodded slightly and he accepted it. This money was not even enough to pay for running errands, so he had to pay for it himself.
After everyone left, Qingnan would go to sleep with Renwen, and Xiaohong would sit on the stone steps outside the door, waiting for the new maid to take over her shift.
Inside the door.
Chang Xixi walked to Gu Rongyu's side, looking at his god-like appearance, she couldn't let go of him and her saliva was about to flow out. She didn't expect that after recovering from the illness, his face could be so attractive!
It’s amazing!
As she thought about it, she reached out to touch Gu Rongyu's face. Gu Rongyu was stunned and his heart was frantic... He was a little secretly happy, but more shocked. Was this lady upset today?
Why was she so proactive, her hand even touching his face? Should he react? Or should he also take the initiative and consummate the marriage tonight? He had been thinking about it for a long time, but he was afraid that his wife would reject him.
After all, now that he has no achievements and doesn't know when we will be separated, it is difficult for him to be responsible for her. Chang Xixi only covets beauty and is not interested in those messy things.
After touching her, he went straight to bed, leaving Gu Rongyu still in shock, not knowing how to face the throbbing just now.
Liang Ming, who was watching this scene on the roof, said quietly, "Young Master, you're being teased by your wife. Look at that amorous expression, wow."
Gu Rongyu took a pen and shot it straight at the roof, where it landed on Liang Ming's butt. He couldn't even scream.
A dumb person swallows bitter herbs and cries silently.
The night passed peacefully, except for Zhou Zhiwei, who was kneeling in the ancestral hall as punishment, whose heart was filled with dark thoughts. She vowed to bring disgrace to Chang Xixi. Death was too easy!
When a person dies, everything is gone. It is better to suffer while alive!
It was the next day again.
Li Da came back near dusk. He had found out that the man was the son of the local county magistrate, a man of some talent, and knew a little about private schools. He was aloof and taciturn.
Because of his ordinary family background, he studied in Ruzhou City, and it just so happened that his ancestors had some connection with Lord Lu's family.
So during the autumn examination three years ago, he stayed at the Lu family for a while. As for his relationship with the daughter of the Lu family, no one knew.
Now I also help the Lu family with some things, but they are just family business dealings.
