Chapter 173: Pretending to be sick
"Cousin, what did you say? When will we say we want to go?" Chu Jiating pretended to be surprised that Yuan Qianrou would make such a request. She said this because she didn't want Chu Xinyu to think that she was threatening her with them.
"I want to go, cousin, you made a mistake. My sister never said she wanted to go, but I can't use this to rob her because she wanted to go." Chu Jiayun is a human being. When she heard that her sister wanted to leave things clear, she followed her sister's words and let Chu Xinyu know that she wanted to go, but she did not threaten her with Yuan Qianrou.
"Yes, yes, you don't want to go, but I want to go, you just accompany me." Yuan Qianrou thought that their sisters were about retreating, so she took things into consideration and looked at Chu Xinyu and said, "What, do you want to think about it?"
She looked kind.
Chu Xinyu smiled, "It turns out that you want to go to the village to play. OK, I'll tell Princess Mingxi that if she wants, I'll take you there."
"Really?"
Their eyes lit up and their faces were full of surprise.
Chu Xinyu was really willing to tell Princess Mingxi to take them there? Did they hear it wrong? Did Chu Xinyu agree to it because she felt guilty? If they had known that she would agree so easily, they would have made more requests.
Chu Jiating was also surprised, but she did not show it.
Chu Xinyu glanced at her and sneered in her heart. The person who is best at pretending here is Chu Jiating. She always looks noble, but I don’t know how many colorful in her heart are.
"Of course, how do I lie, just..."
Chu Xinyu deliberately paused, and the Yuan sisters asked, "It's just what?"
"Is it just your identity match?" Yang Qianjun's voice sounded coldly from the side. She had originally entered the carriage, but Chu Xinyu didn't come up. She lifted up the curtains and saw several familiar girls surrounding her and said she had a private meeting with others, so she got off the carriage without much thought.
When the Yuan sisters heard this, their faces suddenly turned into pig liver.
After all, they are girls from the Ningyuan Bo Mansion. Ningyuan Bo Mansion was also a marquis before, but they lost their title only when they stood in the wrong team. Yuan Qianrou's father was Yuan Chaofan, the younger daughter of Yuan's eldest brother Yuan Feifan. Yuan Feifan had just been promoted to the fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Revenue. However, after all, he was also an extremely promising official of the Ministry of Revenue. Now his status is not as good as theirs, and he may be in the future.
Yang Qianjun walked over and said, "This event was organized by this girl. I borrowed Princess Mingxi's village and asked her to post it. The invitations were all my friends. What? Are you very familiar with me?"
"..." The Yuan sisters had a pretty face full of redness.
They didn't know what this activity was. They just heard from the Chu Jiating sisters that there were many places there and it was the village of Duke Rong's Mansion, so they wanted to see it, but they didn't expect that the person in the organization was Yang Qianjun.
What did they say just now? They said that Yang Qianjun was Chu Xinyu's smoke bomb, helping Chu Xinyu cover up her private meeting with the King of Jin. If she heard it, they would be even more embarrassed to ask Yang Qianjun if she could take them there.
Chu Jiating said, "Miss Yang, you misunderstood. Although my cousin is not familiar with you, she has no malicious intentions. They are just..."
"What does it mean to have no malice? Well? Threat my friend and say that she and a man are not mean to have no malice? Obviously I am with her, you can automatically ignore threatening her. Do you treat us as fools, or do you see her so that you can bully?"
Yang Qianjun is the most protective of her short-term care. She will not watch her friends be bullied and will not take action. Moreover, she will know that she has bad intentions when she sees them. She doesn't take advantage of her like this.
Chu Jiayun quietly moved behind Chu Jiating and let her figure take care of her. She caused the private meeting first. When Yang Qianjun walked up, she glared at her specifically, as if she knew something.
Yuan Qianhua said in a soft voice: "We are just discussing with her, how can we threaten her?"
"There is no better." Yang Qianjun glanced at them coldly and said, "We are not afraid of you complaining and promoting, but you must think carefully. Some words cannot be said casually. Once they are said, they will have to pay the price. Are you sure that you can afford it as yours?"
They wanted to tell that Chu Xinyu had a private meeting with King Jin. They were too naive. What is Chu Xinyu's identity and what is King Jin's identity? Once they were pulled together, they attracted the attention of the emperor. Once the matter was found out, it was not Chu Xinyu and King Jin who were unlucky, but those who were splashing dirty water.
Chu Jiating's head was the fastest. As soon as Yang Qianjun reminded her, she knew that what they said just now was too rash, but she was very smart. Even though she knew she was wrong, she did not admit it because it was initiated by her and Chu Jiayun. If she admitted it, it means that she had cheated the two sisters of Yuan.
Yang Qianjun doesn’t care what they think. Anyway, they have already said this. If they like to make trouble, they will let them go and pull Chu Xinyu onto the carriage themselves.
Seeing them leaving, Yuan Qianrou stamped her feet, "Jiating, are you just forgetting this?" She was very unwilling to accept the plan because she thought Chu Xinyu would be threatened, but she was disturbed by Yang Qianjun.
"Otherwise." Chu Jiating said coldly: "At the beginning, we just wanted to scare her, not really spread the story of her private meeting. Now she is not afraid of our threats, and we can't do anything to her."
Yuan Qianrou gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly: "Then let's spread it."
So that everyone in the city knew that Chu Xinyu was not guarding the Qing Boudoir and attracted bees and butterflies everywhere. Then, let’s see if Duke Rong’s mansion still wants such a wife. Even if she married her, she would not be able to win the princess’s heart.
Chu Jiating cursed: "You are crazy, I won't do it! Besides, we have insufficient evidence, so she will bite us back and spread rumors."
The last rumor spread out because I didn't listen to my mother and almost exposed myself. If my mother hadn't asked her to take the blame in time, I'd be afraid that she would have been driven to the family temple now.
Chu Jiayun pulled Chu Jiating's sleeve and said worriedly: "What should I do? Are we not going?"
Chu Jiating knew that her sister wanted to go, but Chu Xinyu was not threatened and had no choice, so she patted her hand and comforted her, "If you can't hurry, there will always be a solution."
She promised her mother that she would not cause trouble for Chu Xinyu during this period, and her mother would have a way to make Chu Xinyu no longer arrogant.
Chu Jiayun shook hands and took a deep breath, leaned into Chu Jiating's ear and whispered: "Sister, I have thought of a solution."
...
Let’s talk about Chu Xinyu and Yang Qianjun leaving the restaurant, neither of them took what had just happened. Yang Qianjun took Chu Xinyu for a few streets and bought everything they wanted to buy.
On the way back, when passing by the Duke of Wei, Chu Xinyu told Yang Qianjun that when he came to find her in the morning, he encountered the wife of Zuo Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple who came to the Duke of Wei's mansion.
When Yang Qianjun heard this, she glanced at her lips and said, "She came to be a mediator for my cousin and Jiang Liyuan, the third girl of Duke of Ying."
Chu Xinyu was stunned for a moment, "Protect the media?"
Will the Duke of Wei be married to the Duke of Ying?
Yang Qianjun said: "My aunt has not agreed. After all, marriage is a major event. Although it is about the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, my cousin is very independent. No one can let him bow his head if he doesn't want it. Besides, he loves my deceased cousin's wife deeply and will not marry her if she doesn't keep her filial piety for three years."
Chu Xinyu also heard about the Prince of Wei. He and his wife were childhood sweethearts, but the gods were not good. The princess bleeded heavily during childbirth and died of difficult labor. He left a hungry daughter.
The wife of Duke Wei Guo once persuaded him to marry him again, and his wife's family also proposed to let his wife's concubine marry him as a second wife. After all, the child needs a mother. The concubine is the child's aunt. It is better than a stranger who has no blood relationship as a stepmother. Moreover, he also needs children, but he was rejected by the prince. In order to be quiet, these people stopped him from sending women to him and vowed to mourn his deceased wife for three years.
What a affectionate man, he is much better than Chu Zheng back then. Only three months after Mei passed away, Chu Zheng married Yuan into the family. In less than a year, Yuan gave birth to twins.
"A man like my eldest cousin, a woman who is his second wife must have a generous heart, and both patience and patience must be compatible, but this Jiang Liyuan..." Yang Qianjun said, sneering, "Jiang Liyuan is the daughter of the second wife, but she is loved by Mrs. Jiang. She is over 18 years old, but she has not yet married. I heard that she has a high vision and looks down on others. If this kind of woman marrys my eldest cousin, I would rather not marry him and take a concubine and give birth to an heir."
If you marry a wife, you have to marry a virtuous person. I think you know why the Duke Ying Mansion of Duke Wei Mansion was to marry Duke Wei Mansion. In the eyes of those who don’t know, Jiang Liyuan may be the sweet daughter of heaven, but in their eyes, it is a disaster. Moreover, her vision is so high that she would be willing to be the second wife of others unless she has other purposes.
"It's a pity that you are just the cousin of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, not her mother. You can only think about this kind of thing and don't interfere in, so as not to lose your word."
"Of course not, I'm just thinking about it."
"If it were you, would you marry and be your second wife?" Chu Xinyu asked.
Yang Qianjun thought for a while and said, "Unless I like that person, but under the premise, he also likes me, otherwise, I will not be someone else's stepmother. Do you think the stepmother is easy to do?"
The two talked and laughed, and returned to Yang's mansion, the wives had left before.
Chu Xinyu sat in Yang's mansion for a while, and also asked to go back home. He made an appointment with Yang Qianjun, not wanting to waste time. Tomorrow, everyone will gather outside the city gate on time.
When she returned to the Hou Mansion, she went to Anshantang first and gave half of the supplements given to her by Yang Mansion.
Chu Jiating and Chu Jiayun were also there. They didn't mention anything about meeting her in the restaurant, and they even joked with her, as if nothing had happened.
Old Mrs. Chu told Chu Xinyu that the attic had been cleaned up, and she needed anything she needed and what she lacked could be purchased.
Chu Xinyu was not in a hurry. She needed some places to be repaired. She had already drawn the picture and handed over to the housekeeper to find someone to decorate it. I guess she could move in after she came back from the village.
Old Mrs. Chu had no objection, she could move anytime she wanted.
Chu Xinyu talked with the old lady Chu for a while. When the old lady Chu saw that Chu Xinyu was tired, she did not keep her and asked her to go back and rest.
Chu Xinyu happily stood up and left. Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the door, she saw a little maid running towards her. If she hadn't been dodging quickly, she would have almost bumped into her.
The little maid ran into the inner hall like a gust of wind and said to Old Lady Chu: "Old lady, it's not good, the fourth girl fainted."
Old Mrs. Chu suddenly stood up, "Disap? What's going on?"
"I don't know."
The little maid shook her head, she was just passing the message, she didn't know what was going on.
Chu Xinyu did not leave. He stood at the door and heard the little maid's words. However, it was not her business. She was not a doctor. But Chu Jiaqi had been kneeling in the ancestral hall for several days. Old Mrs. Chu did not send someone to monitor there. Who knows whether she had kneeled seriously?
If you don't kneel seriously, you will faint...
Chu Xinyu laughed sarcastically in her heart, and without stopping, she stepped away, returned to Xiaozhuyuan, and invited Danqing to ask her to go to Chu Jiaqi to find out what was going on.
Not long after, Danqing returned and said, "The doctor said that the fourth girl had a fever due to the cold and her knees were red and swollen. She might not get out of bed for a few days and needed more rest. She should not kneel again. So the old lady exempted her from kneeling on the ancestral hall and asked her to copy the rules of the family a hundred times."
Chu Xinyu sarcastically said, "She is so sick."
"How do you say it?" Zi Ling asked.
"Which illness not only does not have to be punished to kneel to the ancestral hall, but also copied the rules of the family two hundred times less. I think she will be able to get out of bed and jump around in a few days."
"So, is she pretending to be sick?" Zi Ling and Zhu Bo covered their mouths in surprise.
Chu Xinyu sneered: "Maybe it's a real disease, but it's not natural, it may be artificial."
The bitter plan has always been effective, especially those used on your own relatives. How could Chu Jiaqi be the granddaughter of Old Lady Chu? How could he not feel sorry for seeing his granddaughter get sick?
Chu Jiaqi is smart and knows how to use this trick to use.
I hope that after this, Chu Jiaqi can learn to be smarter and stop messing with her again.
Afterwards, Chu Xinyu did not revolve around Chu Jia's futures. She ordered Zhu Bo to show her the swimsuits sent from the embroidery workshop.
Today, Zhubo did not go to Yang's house with her, but gave her the task to get her swimsuit.
Zhu Bo took out the swimsuit, Chu Xinyu checked that there was no problem before she asked her to put it in. There were other things, Chu Xinyu asked them to clean up and sort them out in advance so that they would not miss it tomorrow.
The next day, Chu Xinyu got up early in the morning to wash up, put on a slanted stand-up collared top with plain white satin embroidered tender yellow forsythia, a moon-white plum blossom pleated skirt, a goose yellow embroidered half of the arm embroidered green bamboo leaves, a pair of shiny white jade hairpins inserted into the bun, two necklaces of ruby beaded head flowers, lilac flower earrings, and a pair of twisted silk bracelets on their white wrists.
This time she went out, took Lan Yi and Danqing, and Zi Ling and Zhubo wanted to go there, but she couldn't bring so many people at once. Besides, Lan Yi was her guard, so she would definitely be indispensable when going out.
Zhu Bo only regrets that she doesn't understand martial arts, otherwise she can be with the girl at any time.
Lan Yi patted Zhu Bo's round cheeks and said in the tone of her own girl coaxing her sister: "You two are obediently staying in Xiaozhuyuan. Sister, I'll bring you something delicious to you."
Zhu Bo put his hands up and said, "If you don't bring us something delicious, I'll chop you up and eat it!"
Chu Xinyu first went to Anshan Hall to pay tribute to the old lady Chu.
Old Mrs. Chu knew that she was Princess Ying Mingxi's appointment to go to Zhuangzi for two days. Princess Mingxi is the legitimate sister of the Marquis of Beiping. It is a good thing that Chu Xinyu can play with her. In the future, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law went to play together, which would cultivate their relationship. In the future, she would take care of her when she married into the Duke Rong's mansion.
