Chapter 474 A Family of纨绔 (Wán kù, a spoiled and dissolute family) Causes the Death of the Entire Court (27)
Her youngest daughter, who had always needed to be coaxed by her nanny to eat even a few extra bites, was now diligently sweeping the floor.
The house, which had been a mess and disorganized for so long, was now cleaned up and kept neat and tidy.
Seeing this, Madam Jin could not believe her eyes for a long time. She stood there in shock for a long time until Jin Qi threw down the broom and ran over crying. Only then did she finally believe that the person in front of her was her youngest daughter.
“Aqi…”
"Mother! Waaaaah—Mother! You're finally here! Jin Shu hit me! Jin Shu hit my leg with such a thick stick! It hurts so much!! Mother, it hurts so much!! Please beat Jin Shu to death, please beat her to death!"
Mrs. Jin frowned as she watched Jin Qi tearfully and wailingly pull up her skirt and trouser legs.
She blocked Jin Qi's path, glanced down at her, and saw that her calves were fair, clean, and without a single scratch.
"Aqi, stop fooling around."
"Mom! Look! Look what she did to me! Waaaaah, it hurts so much!"
Madam Jin looked down again, her expression growing increasingly grim.
"You have nothing on your legs, what are you showing me?!"
"Yes, she hit me with that big stick! Look, look, right here, right here..."
Jin Qi looked down and her expression changed from one of grievance to one of astonishment and confusion.
"She hit me...she hit me..."
"Where would I hit you? Point it out to me. Ah Qi, your sister always dotes on you the most. She would never scold you, so how could she possibly hit you?"
"Aqi, good children shouldn't lie. If you lie again, Mommy will punish you by not letting you eat candy for three days."
Jin Qi remembers turning around randomly, lifting her skirt up completely, and swaying it from side to side to take a closer look.
"She hit my legs and hands! Here, here, she hit me all over!"
"Aqi! Stop fooling around!"
"Mother! Waaah, Mother! I don't like you! I don't like Jin Shu! Get out, all of you get out! I don't want to see you!!"
Waaaaah, Sister Chu Yao, I want Sister Chu Yao…
Jin Chuyao stood aside, feeling smug, when Jin Shu suddenly blurted out something.
"My little sister likes you, and she scolded our whole family because of you."
Jin Shu's casual remark made Jin Chuyao, who was about to step forward, freeze in her tracks, and her smile became extremely stiff.
She looked at Madam Jin, and sure enough, the woman's face was ashen and extremely unsightly.
“Aunt, Aqi is immature. She is more attached to me because I often take her out to play.”
Don't worry, I will teach her properly from now on..."
"It's not your place to teach my daughter."
Jin Chuyao's heart sank.
That damned Jin Shu, she definitely did it on purpose!
"aunt……"
"Guards, keep an eye on this young lady. She's confined to her quarters for the next month!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Qi instinctively opened her mouth to cry, but before she could even start crying, Jin Shu slowly said something.
"Forget about confinement, Mother, why don't you leave her with me?"
As sisters, Aqi is so distant from me, probably because we don't spend enough time together.
Since that's the case, why don't we let her stay in my yard? That way, the two of us sisters can chat in the evenings and get to know each other better.
Living with Jin Shu?
no!
Jin Qi shook her head frantically, the next second...
Madam Jin: "What Ah Shu said makes sense. Starting today, Ah Qi will move to the Begonia Garden for a while."
Jin Qi refused in a shrill voice.
"I don't want to!! I don't want to live with her!! Sister Chu Yao, I want Sister Chu Yao! Sister Chu Yao, save me!"
Jin Chuyao didn't even want to lift her head at this moment, feeling annoyed by Jin Qi's screams.
At this point, Madam Jin's attitude towards Jin Chuyao was noticeably less affectionate than before.
Normally, at the end of the month, Madam Jin would frequently take Jin Chuyao out of the mansion to check the shops and accounts, but today Madam Jin went out of the mansion alone, showing no intention of taking Jin Chuyao with her.
"Ah Shu, if you're free today, why don't you come out for a walk with your mother?"
Since they had nothing better to do, Jin Shu nodded, and the mother and daughter got into the carriage together.
Left behind, Jin Chuyao stared at the departing carriage, her eyes cold and venomous.
After the Jin family mother and daughter left the mansion, the entire backyard was left to Jin Chuyao.
All the servants in Haitang Garden had been dismissed, and the new batch were just bought by Jin Shou'an outside the mansion, so they were not familiar with Jin Chuyao.
"Miss has gone out. If you have something to attend to, please come back later."
Jin Chuyao sneered. Before she could even speak, the maid behind her rushed out and slapped her hard across the face.
"You blind fool! No one in the entire Jin family dares to stop our young lady!"
The slapped maid covered her face, feeling wronged, and stepped aside, watching helplessly as Jin Chuyao walked in openly.
Jin Chuyao felt uncomfortable and found every plant and tree in the entire Begonia Garden displeasing to the eye.
Madam Jin is so biased. Jin Shu is such a useless piece of trash, yet her courtyard is filled with all sorts of valuable things.
Jin Chuyao walked to the side courtyard with a cold face. The moment she stepped into the courtyard, the coldness on her face disappeared, replaced by a look of grievance and gloom.
Li Yong was perceptive; he noticed her emotions the moment he saw her.
"What's wrong?"
Jin Chuyao stepped forward and sat down familiarly on the cushion next to Li Yong, her expression somber and her eyes slightly red.
"The Jin family is going too far. If it weren't for you, I would have left."
Li Yong smiled, his emotions unreadable.
"Those who achieve great things must learn to be patient. If you can't bear it, you can leave directly. There's no need for you to suffer for my sake."
Jin Chuyao shook her head, biting her lip with a stubborn look on her face.
"No, if I leave, what will you do? Jin Shu will be thinking of ways to torment you every day."
"With me here, at least I can help you."
Li Yong glanced at her and sighed almost imperceptibly.
"Don't worry, the matter is settled. You just need to wait patiently. I won't treat you unfairly when the time comes."
Jin Chuyao looked at him silently, her eyes revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"Although I don't know who you are, or what this big thing you're talking about is going to do."
But I'll help you with anything you want to do.
I never expected you to give me anything. All I ever wanted was one thing.
Li Yong naturally knew her feelings.
"I will never treat anyone who is sincere to me unfairly, you can rest assured."
"What do I have to worry about? I don't care about these things anyway."
"Young Master Wu, if you need anything from me, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do everything in my power to help you."
"Thanks."
The two chatted for a long time until Jin Shu's carriage returned. The maid stood outside the door and reminded her, and Jin Chuyao reluctantly got up.
