Chapter 117: Change

"In the eyes of my aunt, you are better than her in everything, but one thing is that she is better than you is that she knows how to change and judge the situation, but you are so strong and don't know how to turn." In the eyes of all mothers, her own children are the best, even if she has many things that are inferior to others.

"Then how do I change and learn from Chu Xinyu?"

Apart from her appearance, Chu Jiaqi actually didn't think that Chu Xinyu had changed at all. She liked to argue with herself and quarrel with herself. No, it was even more annoying than before, because since she came back, she had been punished by her grandmother to copy books twice.

"Yes, learn her advantages, but don't learn her shortcomings." Aunt Wang said: "For example, you are now at the age of marriage and cannot have a bad relationship with the people in the mansion, especially the eldest lady and the sixth girl. Although the eldest lady was given the housekeeper's power to the second wife by the old lady, the marquis is your father after all, and the eldest lady is still your legitimate mother. Don't disrespect her just because she was seized."

Chu Jiaqi asked: "What aunt means is that the eldest lady will still regain the power of the family?"

Aunt Wang nodded: "Of course, do you think she will be willing to hand over the power of the family? Chu Xinyu completely offended the eldest lady. Of course, she has been granted marriage by the emperor now, and the marriage does not require the consent of the eldest lady, but half of her dowry is in the hands of the eldest lady. It is not so easy to come back."

"And you are a concubine daughter, there is no need to offend your legitimate mother. Your aunt cannot control your marriage, but your legitimate mother can. If she doesn't want to see you, she will give you a wedding at will, and give you a thin box of makeup to get rid of you. She has gained a good reputation, but your suffering is beyond your reach."

If it weren't forbidden to, Aunt Wang wouldn't want her daughter to please Yuan. Unfortunately, even if she lost the power of the family, her position as a family member was still there. She had to smile at her with her life and death.

She used to think that pleasing the old lady would lead to a good life, but as the old lady got older, she stopped going out for social engagements and relying on the relationships accumulated by the old lady before was far from enough. Her daughter wanted to find a good family and live a good life, but she had to rely on the eldest lady.

"What do I want to do with my aunt?" Chu Jiaqi's eyes were red. Her aunt's words reminded her that no matter how the eldest lady was now, she would be her father's second wife one day, and even her legitimate mother. Even if she hates her, she would please her.

The best time for a woman to discuss marriage is only three years, and half of hers is gone. If the eldest lady doesn't help her, she will be sent to a nunnery at will.

Aunt Wang gently stroked Chu Jiaqi's head and said slowly: "If you don't want to let others roll, you must change your reckless and competitive personality. Learn from the temperament of the second and third girls. It is absolutely true that you can talk less and listen more."

"What's the point of learning from them? I don't know how to speak out when I'm bullied." She hates the most because of their personalities.

"I told you to learn their manners and calmness, not to let you be bullied. But no matter what secret fights between sisters, it is not possible to fight openly. Even if you hate someone in your heart, you should smile on your face. Don't let the other party be prepared, and don't put all your worries on your face. If you really want to deal with someone, you must endure it first. Once the time comes, you will be fatal. Do not show off your momentary intention and be calmed down."

"I am just a concubine daughter, I don't have the ability. Even if the time is in front of me, I may not be able to take revenge?" Chu Jiating said angrily.

"Don't think like this." Aunt Wang was anxious, "Thinking about the fact that the eldest lady used to die of both her parents and was fostered by the Chu family, she is now your father's second wife. If you want to get what you want, you must know how to take the initiative to fight. More importantly, you are scheming and scheming. You are all lacking in these things, and you will have more things to learn in the future."

"A woman has two reincarnations in her life. If you are reincarnated for the first time, you are not lucky. If you are not reincarnated in the belly of a person in the main room, getting married means the woman's second reincarnation. You can choose the second reincarnation, and you must not be careless!"

Aunt Wang spent the whole night instilling her life experience in Chu Jiaqi over the years. At least Chu Jiaqi was difficult to understand, but after she was so tired of it and repeatedly told her that Chu Jiaqi finally understood and accepted her point of view.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your father will come back in two months. He used to love you very much. If he comes back and sees you acting virtuous, filial to elders, and friendly to his sisters, he will definitely be very happy. As long as your father likes you, the eldest lady is not guarded against you and reuses you, she will not be afraid of having no future."

Chu Jiaqi said little by little: "I know that I will not go out during this period. I sincerely kneel on the Buddhist temple and copy "Female Virtue" and "Family Rules" well, and I will not provoke others."

"Also, when you copy the "Family Rules", you go to your grandmother's place and take the initiative to give the Paiyu Tower to the fifth girl."

"Why? This is what my grandmother agreed to let me move in."

As long as she lives here, she can have the status of being superior to others. So what if Chu Xinyu is the legitimate daughter? The pavilion built by her biological mother was living in the palace she was the concubine daughter. This is the only thing she can show off her power in front of Chu Xinyu, but now her mother asks her to move out?

Aunt Wang explained: "Now, Chu Xinyu's status cannot be compared with before. Not only can you not compete with her, but you also have to live in peace with her. Giving out of the attic is the first step you get close to her and show your goodwill to her. It is best if she is unreasonable. The stronger she is, the more dignified she is, the more you show your dignity and generosity, just like your sixth sister, the more ignorant you and the fifth girl, the more quarrel you and the more quarrel, the more you can highlight her gentleness and sensibility."

She finally understood why Yuan was blindly indulging Chu Xinyu and Chu Jiaqi and let them quarrel and make enemies with each other, the more they could highlight the dignity and good upbringing of the Sixth Girl. In addition, she deliberately promoted it from time to time, so she naturally accumulated a lot of good reputation for the Sixth Girl.

"Where do I live when I move out? Is her small courtyard?"

"There are many courtyards in the Hou Mansion, can you still find a suitable one?"

"Okay." Since she wants to change, giving up the Rain Tower is her first step. Although she likes the Rain Tower, just listening to the name will make her feel accomplished! The Rain Tower will sooner or later, she will trample Chu Xinyu under her feet.

...

Qin Wang Mansion

"Master."

Xiao Jingxuan put down the letter in his hand and glanced at the door.

Yun Xiao went to open the door, and those who came in were Yunxiong, Wei Zonglin, and a bearded young man.

"How is the matter checked?"

"Master, Ye Cang will talk first." The young man's face was calm and he said, "You are right. Hu Tianba is from the Japanese, but he has not committed crimes for many years. In recent years, he is not the one who robbed him under his name. He disappeared after he liked the singer who left him."

This young man is Xiao Jingxuan's secret guard Ye Cang.

"I found out that the singer had appeared in Jinjing City. Mr. Fu Wu rushed back to Jinjing City overnight. Maybe he could find something."

Xiao Jingxuan said: "He encountered an ambush when he was passing through Yan Canyon. He was caught in an arrow, and the arrow was poisonous. Fortunately, Mingyang Villa is not far from Yan Canyon, which allowed him to save his life."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zonglin was secretly shocked, "Who wants his life? Does anyone know when he comes back?"

Ye Cang said: "Apart from me, they are two colleagues who are with him. He went to Pingzhou to investigate the case and took the two colleagues there, but they were privately investigating Hu Tianba's affairs."

Yun Xiao said: "Can someone from his colleague accidentally leaked it?"

Xiao Jingxuan said lightly: "You are responsible for checking who the colleagues he brought with him have ever contacted. Lin Chenyao has sent someone to give them a grand funeral and give their family members pensions, and check whether their family members are suspicious."

After saying that, he looked at Yunxiong again, "How are you doing on Fuhua Street today?"

Yun Xiong nodded and said, "When I went to investigate, Mr. Lin San sent someone to investigate. The criminal committed suicide in the dungeon and could not continue. I heard from the secret guard that there were three people hiding in the dark at that time. Fortunately, Mr. Lin San appeared in time and rescued the fifth girl. If he went out a little later, the secret guards who sent to secretly protect the fifth girl in Chu would be exposed."

Xiao Jingxuan smiled and said, "It seems that some people are doubting me. Are there any people you think that the person you are observing in the dark who were sent by King Jin?"

At the Hundred Flowers Banquet yesterday, he had been testing Chu Xinyu's relationship with him. Although everything that happened later was unexpected, fortunately, after avoiding the incident in his previous life, Chu Xinyu's innocence was not destroyed, but was thought of by some people.

Yun Xiao said: "Xu Fusi is from King Jin."

Wei Zonglin thought for a while and said, "The King of Jin has always wanted to get your handle. If he found out that you keep a secret guard, you will definitely bite you. Since Miss Chu Wu is now the future wife of the Marquis of Beiping, the person who should protect her is the Marquis of Beiping. In this way, you will not expose your strength."

Xiao Jingxuan said: "Let Yunying and Yunlang come back." His cousin doesn't need his protection like this now, she has the ability to protect herself.

The person who went to Chapling Temple last night came back to report to him. What she said to her was right. Since she was assassinated, she has become very active in reading, painting, practicing calligraphy, and dancing swords and fitness.

Moreover, he has a strong memory. If you read the book of Qimen Dunjia once, you can set up a formation and join forces with the secret guards he sent. As long as a suspicious person enters her formation, there is an illusion array inside, which will cause the person entering the formation to have some kind of illusion. Once the consciousness is controlled by the formation, the secret guards will be sent out of the Puling Temple by the secret guards.

Therefore, the killers who stabbed her were unable to get to the courtyard where she lived.

She also subdued the host of Puling Temple and asked her to obey her orders directly. She even transformed Puling Temple into a real virtue-cultivation school to help those women who were abandoned by their families regain their rebirth.

Yesterday at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she had shown her super memory, and he had no reason to doubt what she said to him.

Perhaps as she said, after experiencing life and death, she was enlightened by the Bodhisattva, and people became smarter. After all, she is also an example. Who would have thought that he had two lives of memory?

Ye Cang asked, "Master, do you want to continue looking for that singer?"

Xiao Jingxuan nodded and said, "Look for it! You must find her if you dig three feet into the ground."

Although the murderer who killed Mr. Fu San four years ago was not Hu Tianba, and finding out the singer may not be able to find the murderer of that year, his intuition told him that this matter was not a simple matter, and he would not let him go if there were any clues.

In the last life, Mr. Fu San was not dead at all, and he made many military achievements. Two years later, he personally killed Hu Tianba, which eliminated a single disaster for the coastal people and calmed down the Japanese trespassing five years later.

But now, Ye Cang found that Hu Tianba had not committed a crime for many years. Has something gone wrong in this life? Or, the news Ye Cang found was all smoke bombs released by Hu Tianba? He did not let someone find him, is he trying to change his mind and become a new person, or is there any reason?

He had to understand all of these, not to mention that Fu Shaode was a respected anti-Japanese hero in his previous life. He died in this life, perhaps because it was related to his rebirth. Therefore, he must find the murderer for him and bring it to justice!

...

Chu Xinyu slept very heavily. I don’t know if it was related to drinking. She slept very peacefully in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night she dreamed of playing with her parents on her knees when she was young.

At that time, the younger sister had just turned two years old. She received toys and snacks from her brother who asked someone to come from the capital. The family of four was having fun and extremely happy in the yard.

The little sister wanted to eat candied haws. My mother thought she was young and easily damaged her teeth, so she was not allowed to eat too much. The little sister pulled her sleeve and called her sister softly.

She carried her mother and secretly licked her candied haws for a few bites. She was so happy that she bent her thick eyebrows and big eyes into a small crescent moon, so cute that she was so cute.

The little sister wanted to eat, but in the end she was discovered by her mother. She raised her face and said angrily: "I don't listen to my mother? It's time to beat me!"

The little girl is very good at looking at people's faces. When she knows that her mother is angry, she lets go and runs to her father's side, pulls his pants and hides behind him.

She bent over with a smile...

"Girl, girl." She was shaken, "It's time to get up."

Chu Xinyu woke up and found that it was already dawn. The purpose was to be the tent of the smoky clouds and purple gold-colored gauze, with two silver hollow orchid aromatherapy balls hanging on them. They were small and exquisite, with a pleasant fragrance.

It turns out that she is in the Chu family.

The eyes are dim. Although the dream is beautiful, it will break when you wake up.

Zi Ling said, "Miss, you finally wake up. It's already afternoon, so get up and dress up."

At this time, Zhu Bo took a box of ointment and said, "Who put this box of ointment on the table?"

Zi Ling glanced at it and said in surprise: "It's a snowflake ointment, only available in the palace."

She had seen it once, and it was a county lord Yuzhen accidentally kicked her foot and used it to wipe it. At that time, she asked a few questions. It turned out that this was a tribute offered to the palace by the Western Regions. Only five boxes were given at a time. The county lord Yuzhen was given to her by the queen, and it was almost used up.

Then, Zi Ling said in surprise: "Hey, the wound on the girl's face has faded a lot in just one night."

After saying that, she quickly went to find the bronze mirror and took care of Chu Xinyu.

When Chu Xinyu saw that he was in the bronze mirror, the bruises on his cheekbones had faded away. If he was covered with foundation, he would hardly see any injuries. There was no trace of them at the Baihuayan where he was injured.

She exclaimed, "It's amazing." As she said that, she looked at Zi Ling and Zhu Bo, "Who brought me back to the bed last night? Where did this sausage come from?"
