Although she had never seen Chi Yu, she had heard of her name.
She and Wang Yunjuan arrived here, but they didn't know whose house they were staying at.
She begged Wang Yunjuan to let her stay in her carriage until she found a good husband.
She doesn't need to worry about food or drink.
Therefore, when she heard the name "Little Fish," she couldn't help but look at the other person by the light of the torches in the courtyard.
Once they determined that the other person was beautiful and looked to be under twenty, they already knew her identity.
“Madam Chi, my name is Zhao Xi. I used to be Xue Mengyu’s personal maid.”
Upon hearing her words, Wang Yunjuan, who had initially been happy to play the good guy, immediately turned pale.
This time when she came down the mountain, she knew very well that the Zhong family had completely lost their second branch of the family's residence.
They would rather leave with nothing than move away from that place.
The fact that the main house doesn't have a residence for the second wife is a different matter altogether.
Therefore, she increasingly disapproved of the behavior of the Zhong family patriarch and the eldest son's wife.
She knew perfectly well that the courtyard that used to belong to the second master of the house was now inhabited by the Xue family.
For all these reasons, she also took some of her anger out on the Xue family.
Naturally, after learning that Zhao Xi was originally Xue Mengyu's personal maid, she also lost her temper.
I even felt a little regretful!
Zhao Xi didn't care about anything else at the moment. After revealing her identity, she knelt down in front of Chi Yu in public.
“Lady Chi, I have nowhere to go now, and the imperial decree has expired.”
Before I came here, I told the people at the yamen that I was here to get married.
The constable said he would come to inspect later, and begged me to spare my life.
As she spoke, she kowtowed several times.
Since everything was in the courtyard, the people at the two tables next to us could see and hear what was happening here.
Because it was too hot, the men of Chijia'ao, who originally wanted to eat shirtless, all put on clothes out of consideration for the women.
By this time, everyone's clothes were soaked through and stuck to their bodies.
Zhong Yufeng and her brother and sister-in-law, who had finished eating earlier, had already avoided the area.
Wang Yunjuan and Zhong Minghe didn't have many concerns; they were both looking at Zhao Xi on the ground.
No one spoke at the scene!
Chi Yu frowned, helped the person up, and said, "Speak your mind, there's no need for this!"
As she spoke, she looked at Chi Dongyi and the two clan elders sitting on the main table, wanting them to take charge of the matter.
But in Zhao Xi's eyes, she only trusted Chi Yu.
After being pulled up by the fish in the pond, she didn't care about anything else and said bluntly:
“Lady Chi, I am now a free person and have been granted a good status.”
The reason I came here is because I had a falling out with Xue Mengyu, and she wanted to kill me.
My parents' family was already struggling financially.
Given that he's focused entirely on scheming for my brother, if I go back, I'll only be sold out again.
I was sold to the Xue family when I was a child, and all the monthly allowance I've received over the years has been sent back to support them.
Now, I just want to live for myself, so I came here.
I've heard that there are many young men in Chijia'ao, but I know my own limitations and don't aspire to marry a younger man.
I want to find someone older who can cherish me.
It doesn't matter if he's missing an arm or a leg.
All I want to do for the rest of my life is to live peacefully here.
Then, with someone by your side who cares for you, you can have a few more children.
Putting everything else aside, as soon as Zhao Xi said this, all the Chijia'ao Erlang members present looked at Liu Qingshan.
