Chapter 58 Visiting
Saving people consumed too much energy, and Chunxi fell asleep again. When she woke up the next day, Shen Qingyuan had already gone to the government office.
Chunxi quickly got up, dressed and washed, feeling that she had become a little too proud of herself after getting married.
How could she just care about sleeping by herself and ignore the adults?
After washing up, Chunxi was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. When she opened the door, she saw Aunt Jia standing in the yard, with Cao Wen standing beside her, looking anxiously.
"Other brides have to visit their parents every morning and evening, but Young Madam is the only one in Hanjing who sleeps until noon."
As soon as Aunt Jia opened her mouth, she started to make sarcastic remarks. Chunxi stretched and asked, "I accidentally overslept. Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
Aunt Jia choked.
She wanted to wake Chunxi up, but when she brought Cao Wen here, she happened to meet Shen Qingyuan, who said that Chunxi was tired last night and needed more rest.
Although Shen Qingyuan didn't care much about the affairs of the mansion, Aunt Jia dared not disobey him.
Nanny Jia didn't want Chunxi to know that Shen Qingyuan was very kind to her, so she changed the subject and said, "The young master wants to go to the academy to study, but the second and third young masters want to go home today, and there are not enough carriages in the mansion. Madam, you should find a way to send the young master to the academy yourself."
"OK."
Chunxi took Cao Wen out and first bought a tray of hot meat buns on the street.
Cao Wen didn't sleep much last night, and his eyes were dark. He didn't have the heart to eat the buns at the moment. He followed Chunxi for a while and whispered to her, "Sister, I'm late."
"oh."
Chunxi responded indifferently, and seeing that there were people selling roujiamo on the roadside, she bought another roujiamo, not caring at all about the consequences of Cao Wen being late.
Cao Wen frowned and couldn't help but say, "Sister, let's rent a car so we can get to the academy faster."
"You're already late anyway, so what difference does it make if you go faster or slower? I'll just show you the way. I have my own things to do, so you'll have to walk this road by yourself from now on."
Cao Wen held the bun tightly in his hand and stopped walking.
Before, Qingsong Academy was not far from home, so he always walked to school. Later, he went to Qingfeng Academy, which was farther away, so his mother gave him some extra money and let him take a bus to the academy every day.
Mother said that the Marquis' Mansion was much richer than our family's. As long as he followed his elder sister into the Marquis' Mansion, he would not only have a free carriage ride every day, but his elder sister would also arrange for a servant to accompany him to school, and no one would dare to bully him anymore.
But the current situation is completely different from what my mother said.
He had no servants or carriages, and his sister was too busy to take care of him.
Chunxi walked and strolled along the way and didn't notice that Cao Wen stopped at all.
Cao Wen felt as if he had been abandoned by everyone. He panicked and ran over to Chunxi, grabbed her sleeve and said, "Sister, I want to go home."
Chunxi stopped and looked at him: "What did you say?"
Cao Wen's face suddenly turned hot.
His mother forced him to be given to his elder sister after crying and making a fuss. When his elder sister brought him back to the Marquis' Mansion, she was scolded by Aunt Jia, who was by the Marquis's wife's side. It was really willful for him to go home after only staying for one night.
But he could not live with his elder sister in the Marquis' Mansion. He had to be ordered around by Aunt Jia to do work, and even had to walk to school by himself.
This kind of life is even harder than at home.
At least at home, his mother never let him work, and would always leave any delicious food for him.
After some hesitation, Cao Wen finally spoke: "Sister, I want to go home."
This time, he spoke louder and bravely fought for himself.
He thought his elder sister would gently ask him if he had been wronged and felt uncomfortable in the Marquis' Mansion, and then decide whether to send him home. However, he only received two cold words: "No."
"Why?"
Cao Wen was a little anxious.
His mother had said before that if he was unhappy in the Marquis' Mansion, he could always go home. He always thought he had a way out.
Chunxi took another bite of her roujiamo and said coldly, "Everyone is responsible for their own choices. If you choose to live with me back in the Marquis' Mansion, then you can only live in the Marquis' Mansion and cannot go home."
"The Marquis' Mansion is not good at all. My sister doesn't care about me. I want to go home. I don't want to live in the Marquis' Mansion!"
Cao Wen yelled in panic.
He had a way out before, and he thought it was okay to stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a while. Now Chunxi won't let him go home, and the Marquis' Mansion has suddenly become a den of dragons and tigers, and he doesn't want to stay there for a moment.
Chunxi was not surprised and nodded, "Then go home and tell your mother to see if she will let you live there."
After Chunxi finished speaking, Cao Wen turned around and ran away.
Chunxi said to Qingshu, who had been following them, "Just follow secretly. As long as there is no danger to their lives, there is no need to intervene."
"Yes, young lady."
After Qingshu left, Chunxi strolled to a shop and ordered bricks, tiles and mud to build a small kitchen, and then returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
She wanted to ask Aunt Jia to clean the floor first, but was told that there were guests at home.
When Chunxi arrived at the garden, he immediately saw Xiao Qingyue sitting among the flowers drinking tea.
Xiao Qingyue was so pretentious that the fawning Mo and Shen Qingchi who was making tea beside her looked more like guests.
Seeing Chunxi, Xiao Qingyue raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh, you're back."
As soon as these words came out, Chunxi knew that she was targeting him.
Chunxi was not afraid. He walked up to Xiao Qingyue and nodded, saying, "Yue'er, you're here. It's been a while since we last met. I miss you a little bit."
Chunxi called "Yue'er" very smoothly, and his tone was very familiar, as if he had a very good relationship with Xiao Qingyue.
Xiao Qingyue's expression changed slightly, and she gritted her teeth and shouted angrily: "What did you call me?"
"Yue'er," Chunxi repeated frankly, "Your Uncle Chen and I are already married. You should call me little aunt. It's more intimate when I call you that."
Xiao Qingyue stood up suddenly: "Who the hell are you, bitch? How dare you be my aunt?"
Xiao Qinghe returned to her parents' home with injuries. Although she repeatedly explained that it was an accident, yesterday's incident caused a lot of uproar. Xiao Qingyue asked someone to find out that it was related to Chunxi.
She originally thought that Chunxi would not cause any more trouble after she got married, but she did not expect that on the day of her return home, her sister would be injured and return home. She came to the Marquis' Mansion today to avenge her sister.
"Yue'er, you are a noble lady, how can you say such vulgar words? It's too indecent."
Chunxi shook her head in disapproval. Xiao Qingyue couldn't bear her lecturing and shouted coldly, "Come here, hold her down and slap her in the face, and then cripple one of her hands!"
Xiao Qingyue specially brought a few strong servants with her. At the command, the servants immediately came towards Chunxi with their hands rubbed, while Mrs. Mo just sat by and watched the show without saying a word.
Chunxi would never let Madam Mo watch the fun. She jumped behind Madam Mo like a monkey, grabbed Madam Mo's shoulders and lifted her up to use her as a human shield, while she shouted, "Hao Yue'er, you must have some misunderstanding about your aunt. Let's sit down and talk it over slowly. Don't be impulsive."
Xiao Qingyue was furious: "Come here, tear her mouth apart!"
Chunxi was very good at dodging, so the maids didn't hurt her at all. Instead, they knocked off the hairpin on Mo's head, tore her clothes, and even scratched her face.
Mo: “…”
What do these servants of the Xiao family do for a living? Don’t they know how to watch carefully?
