The Virtuous Wife

Chapter 36: Crane and Clam Fight

The candlelight flickered in the room, and a tall and slender figure landed in front of Jingyi's bed. Jingyi closed her eyes and asked, "Was it Siqin or Simo who notified you? They came so quickly!" Yuanxi frowned and looked at her forehead carefully, but because it was wrapped in gauze, he couldn't see anything. Yuan Xi saw her pale face and still smiling, and couldn't help but get a little annoyed and said: "What are you doing? A self-t*****e trick? Even if it is a self-t*****e trick, there is no need to fight so hard, right?"

Jingyi heard it and laughed twice: "Self-t*****e trick? Which eye of yours saw that I was using a self-t*****e trick? It's just some skin injuries, it's not a problem."

Yuan Xi frowned slightly in disapproval and said unhappily: "It's not a problem? That's the forehead! Not wood! Do you really think you are made of iron?"

Jingyi opened her eyes, looked at Yuan Xi and smiled: "Isn't Siqin here? She won't let me get hurt too much."

Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows. If Siqin hadn't used a bean to secretly deviate the position of the teacup and weakened the momentum of the teacup, how could Jingyi speak so briskly at this moment?

Jingyi sat up slowly, and Yuan Xi hurriedly took a cushion to cushion her back.

"Yuanxi, even if Siqin is not here today, I will still go to stop it."

Yuanxi's eyes sank, and he said in a low voice: "Why?"

Jingyi smiled faintly, and a strand of hair hung down on both sides of her pale face, which actually added a morbid beauty to her. The face that was a little chubby, blocked by the two strands of hair, looked a lot thinner.

Yuanxi was a little stunned. There had never been a person who could make him care so much and care so much. In the past, in order to attract the attention of his father, he always deliberately tried to please him and cater to him. But after being hurt countless times, he gradually didn't want to care about anyone or pay attention to anyone. He was afraid that his care would only be ridiculed and insulted by others!

But since he met this little girl, everything has changed. Somewhere in his heart became a little soft and full, no longer feeling empty in his heart like before, like a lonely ghost floating in this world, helpless.

From the first time this girl bandaged his wound, he felt her attentiveness, gentleness, kindness and consideration. When he heard her opinion in the courtyard, he felt that this girl was a treasure given to him by God! She was his lucky charm! If it weren't for her advice, he would have been beheaded now! He might also be hiding in a corner of the prison, being bullied!

Jingyi saw Yuanxi in a daze, and waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Yuanxi, Yuanxi, what's wrong with you?"

Yuanxi was interrupted by her, lowered his head awkwardly, and coughed lightly.

Jingyi smiled and said, "What? Will you get choked if you're daydreaming?"

Yuanxi was stunned by what she said. Seeing the mischievous smile in her eyes, he couldn't help but smile helplessly: "You! You're like this, and you still want to tease others! Tell me quickly, what are you going to do?"

"Oh? Didn't you say that I was using a self-t*****e trick?"

"Okay, I wronged you. Tell me quickly, what good trick do you have?"

Jingyi smiled lightly and looked out the window.

Yuanxi was very anxious, but he couldn't do anything about the injured Jingyi, so he had to coax her gently: "Yiyi, tell me. I have news to tell you too! Let's exchange, okay?"

Jingyi was amused by his flattering look and smiled, "Come closer to my ear."

Yuanxi did as he said, and Yuanxi's expression changed from curiosity to shock, and then to disbelief!

After a long while, Yuan Xi came back to his senses, staring at Jing Yi, and asked in a questioning tone: "Are you a seven-year-old child? How can you have such a quick mind?"

Jing Yi smiled and said: "I'm not seven years old, am I seventy years old? Why do you keep saying stupid things?"

Yuan Xi straightened his body, looked up and down, and said with a sigh of relief: "Indeed! You are obviously seven years old, and I really keep saying stupid things!"

Jing Yi was amused by his pretentious appearance and laughed out loud. This laugh was not serious, but the wound on her head was also a little painful.

"Ouch!" Jing Yi gently touched her forehead with her hand and cried out.

"How is it? Is it painful again? Alas, this is called happiness turns to sorrow!" Yuan Xi deliberately said mischievously.

Jing Yi glanced at him and was about to speak when she saw Si Qin coming in and landing behind Yuan Xi.

"What's wrong? What bad idea has my third aunt thought of?" Siqin stepped forward and told the news she had overheard from Liu. Yuanxi looked at Jingyi in disbelief, "You can predict this, you are really a fairy!" Siqin didn't understand, and Jingyi smiled and said, "It's getting late, there will be a tough battle tomorrow, rest early." Siqin was the first to get out, and Yuanxi left after seeing Jingyi's injuries. In fact, Jingyi's injury was not serious, and the wound was not deep. It was just because the wound was a little long and she lost blood, which scared everyone. She just fainted for a while, and woke up when she was carried to her room. But waking up like this was not good enough, so she pretended for a while. But later, she heard Gu's crying and felt sorry for it. In addition, Doctor Liu wanted to give her an acupuncture, so she had no choice but to wake up. After breakfast the next day, the flower hall became lively. It happened that today, Su Wei was on leave, and except for Su Qing, Su Ming and the injured Jingyi, everyone in the mansion was present.

Gu first ordered people to drag Luzhu, the maid who served Jingwei that day, down and beat her with thirty boards. Then she beat the maid who served Jingmei with thirty boards and drove her out of the mansion.

After this punishment, Jingwei and Jingmei were a little scared. After all, Jingyi was injured because of them. Now they both have the same idea in their minds, that is, how to minimize their own responsibilities!

Jingwei seemed to be a little calmer, after all, Aunt Peng had thought of a countermeasure for her last night. As for Jingmei, although Liu gave her the idea last night, she was still young after all. In the past, it was her mother who punished others, and she was not punished by others like now!

After Gu punished the maids, Jingwei walked to the middle and knelt down, saying, "Mother, it's my fault. Not only did I fail to protect my sister, but I also caused her to suffer. It's all my fault. Please punish me."

Gu was angry with this concubine. Jingyi was injured twice, both of which were related to her. Although Jingyi got hurt this time, she was still responsible. Gu was planning to punish her, but now that Jingwei admitted her fault, Gu couldn't really punish her.

Jingwei raised her head and saw Gu's embarrassed look, so she knew that this trick was right. Yesterday, Aunt Peng instructed her that she must admit her fault first today, and make it clear that it was not her fault, and the important thing was Jingmei! In this way, everyone will shift their attention to Jingmei and ignore themselves.

Sure enough, the old man's face sank and he shouted, "Jingmei! You still don't know your mistake!"

Jingmei was thinking about what her mother taught her to say last night, but she was so frightened by the old man that her mind went blank. She just knelt on the ground in a hurry and said, "Grandpa, my granddaughter was wrong. Please punish me."

Jingwei glanced at her sideways and said, "Mother, you have already asked about what happened yesterday. Although my cousin contradicted Madam Hong and compared the daughters to monkeys, I should have tolerated my sister. I shouldn't have scolded her, and I shouldn't have annoyed my cousin, so I accidentally threw the teacup!"

Liu was almost suffocated by Jingwei's words! How much money did she spend last night to shut up those servants? Even with Madam Hong, she had to spend a lot of effort to make her keep these inappropriate words secret. Now, Jingwei poured out all of them at once. This wealthy family values ​​rules, and the old man has always paid attention to etiquette and rules. What should we do?

Sure enough, the old man frowned and stared at Su Cheng. Su Cheng was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat and dared not look at the old man.

"Jingmei, you have a very good upbringing! You talked back to the nanny and insulted your sisters! Where did you learn these rules?"

With the old man's angry shout, Jingmei completely forgot what Liu had told her last night. She had never seen the old man so angry before. She was so scared that she trembled all over, her legs were weak, and she couldn't even kneel down properly.

This situation fell into the eyes of the old man and Gu, and they felt that Jingmei's upbringing was too poor. I don't know how Liu taught her on weekdays?

Seeing her daughter being so useless, Liu was secretly annoyed. After thinking it over, she had to step forward and bow, saying, "Father, it was because of your poor teaching that Jingmei did such an inappropriate thing. She was also very protective of her sister. If she hadn't seen Jingrou being wronged, she would never have done this."

Jingwei's heart skipped a beat. Was Liu saying that she had bullied Jingrou? This was clearly a deliberate attempt to frame her! Jing Wei glanced at Jing Rou who was standing timidly beside her, with a flash of hatred in her eyes, and said anxiously: "Please mother, please check clearly, I did not bully my cousin at all, this matter has nothing to do with her." After that, she turned to Liu and said: "Third aunt, you were not there that day, how do you know that I bullied Jing Rou? Why should I make things difficult for her?" Liu looked at her with disdain and said coldly: "Whether you bullied her or not, someone will see it. Why are you so anxious? Everyone knows that you dare to snatch your own sister's things, let alone a concubine's daughter in my room!"
