Chapter 611: You think I’m a fool!
Unexpectedly, Xingxing's words were heard by Zhu Yaoxu inside, and something hit the door with a bang!
Zhu Yaoxu shouted hoarsely: "No! I don't want to talk to you! Go away!"
Mrs. Zhu was so shocked that her face changed: "Yao Xu!"
She apologized to Xingxing again, and said worriedly: "Don't blame me, my daughter may have been hit by something and possessed by evil spirits. Her temper is really strange now..."
Xing Xing shook her head and didn't say anything in front of Madam Zhu. In her opinion, Zhu Yaoxu didn't seem to have been hit by anything. She just said, "It's okay, Madam, just leave. I have something to say to Miss Zhu in private."
Mrs. Zhu's eyes flashed with gratitude: "My Lord, I'll trouble you then."
Mrs. Zhu led her people to the gate of the courtyard, and could not help but look back at the closed door.
Xingxing stood there, watching Mrs. Zhu leave and gave her an affirmative look.
Mrs. Zhu then clutched her handkerchief and left the yard, feeling half relieved and half worried.
At this time, the only people in the yard were Xingxing outside the door and Zhu Yaoxu inside the door.
Xing Xing knocked on the door and lowered her voice so that only the people in the room could hear her: "Ms. Zhu, there's no one else in the yard right now, can we have a good chat? ...Besides, you can't be so 'possessed by evil', can you?"
Xingxing meant something.
There was silence for a while.
After a while, the door creaked open.
Zhu Yaoxu stood in the shadow of the door with her hair loose, looking at Xingxing with an uncertain expression.
Xingxing walked into the house as usual.
Zhu Yaoxu closed the door behind Xingxing with another "bang".
The doors and windows in the room were closed and it was a little dark.
Zhu Yaoxu floated back to the small table like a ghost, sat in the armchair, stared at Xingxing blankly, and suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice: "...You are here to laugh at me!"
Xing Xing shook her head: "Mrs. Zhu is a loving mother, and Princess Qing'an is also worried about you."
Zhu Yaoxu suddenly got angry again, flipped the tray on the table, and shouted at Xingxing hoarsely: "Why are you worried about me?! She has been secretly having an affair with Yu Sangongzi for a long time, but she didn't tell me! Did she think I was a fool?! She hid it from me and watched me fall in love with Yu Sangongzi. Has she laughed at me behind my back a thousand times and ten thousand times?!"
Tears rolled down Zhu Yaoxu's cheeks and she covered her face and sobbed.
"You guys are going too far..."
"Why didn't you tell me? Seeing me fall in love with Mr. Yu San, I even went to the Peach Blossom Temple to pray for God's mercy. Was Wei Yining laughing at me in her heart at that time, thinking I was stupid?"
Zhu Yaoxu's shoulders were shaking even more violently.
Xingxing sighed deeply.
She knew that Zhu Yaoxu was not attacked by any evil spirit, she was just unwilling and stubborn, and took the opportunity to vent her resentment.
Xing Xing waited until Zhu Yaoxu's sobbing subsided before she spoke calmly, "Ms. Zhu, are you a little calmer now? Can you listen to me?"
Zhu Yaoxu didn't say anything, but Xingxing knew that her silence meant she tacitly agreed.
"My third brother and Princess Qing'an's matter actually happened two days ago. My third brother went to Prince Ying's manor and was planning to propose marriage, but Prince Ying was not there, so he insisted on asking Princess Qing'an what she thought. Princess Qing'an said she obeyed her parents' orders." Xingxing said softly, "What you said is too harsh. I can understand why you are so angry right now, Miss Zhu, but what you said is too humiliating to my third brother and Princess Qing'an."
"Miss Zhu, put yourself in her shoes. Now that nothing has been decided, how can you expect Princess Qing'an to tell you? How should she tell you?"
"Princess Qing'an cherishes her close friendship with you. When she was recovering from her injury, she was always thinking about you and was always unhappy. She always felt sorry for you. In fact, she and my third brother did not steal or rob. They were just waiting for Prince Ying to come back. My third brother officially came to propose marriage. What did she do to let Miss Zhu down?"
"It can't be that Princess Qing'an will give up this marriage for Miss Zhu just because she thinks my third brother is good, right?"
Zhu Yaoxu clenched his hands and subconsciously retorted: "I didn't!"
Xing Xing looked straight into Zhu Yaoxu's eyes calmly: "Okay, Miss Zhu said no, then why does Miss Zhu blame Princess Qing'an?"
The room was a little dim, but Xingxing's eyes seemed so bright in the dim environment that Zhu Yaoxu didn't dare to look directly at her for a moment.
"Miss Zhu, you are so angry at home as if you were possessed. In fact, you know in your heart that Princess Qing'an did nothing wrong. It's just that you are depressed and can only use the excuse of being possessed or the conflict to vent your dissatisfaction."
"Ms. Zhu, you are only torturing your family members who love you!"
Xingxing asked questions one after another, leaving Zhu Yaoxu speechless.
Zhu Yaoxu's face turned red and his lips moved. It was obvious that Xingxing had touched upon his secret. Finally, he cried out "wow" again.
She leaned on the armrest of the chair and cried, tears streaming down her face: "What can I do? When I think about how stupid I was at that time and how Wei Yining saw it all, I don't know how to face her! I can only blame her, otherwise, what should I do..."
Zhu Yaoxu cried bitterly.
Xing Xing did not try to comfort her. She just quietly found a seat and sat down, patiently waiting for Zhu Yaoxu to finish crying.
Zhu Yaoxu cried for half an hour and felt that the depression in her heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.
However, when she saw that Xingxing had not come to comfort her, she couldn't help but secretly look up at Xingxing who was sitting there as if she was distracted, and she felt a little anxious.
This Lady of Fusui is such a smart and intelligent person, how can we not see that she is in urgent need of a stepping stone right now!
Xing Xing was distracted slowly and really ignored Zhu Yaoxu.
After a long while, Zhu Yaoxu's tears were almost dry, and he felt that this was so meaningless.
Looking at the little girl who was sitting slowly in the chair in a daze, Zhu Yaoxu felt more and more lonely.
She finally couldn't help it, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said "Hey".
Xing Xing let out an "ah" and seemed to have just come to her senses. She asked Zhu Yaoxu, "Is Miss Zhu done crying?"
Zhu Yaoxu clutched the handkerchief and wiped away his tears fiercely: "I'm done crying!"
Only then did Xingxing nod.
"Miss Zhu, don't feel any psychological burden. I'm not here to force you to reconcile with Princess Qing'an," Xing Xing said softly, "After all, being friends is something that should be based on mutual consent. There's no point in forcing the two of you to be together if there's a grudge in your heart."
Zhu Yaoxu became more and more annoyed as she listened to a little girl who was a few years younger than her saying such insightful words.
Ahhh, it seems like I'm being unreasonable!
