Five hundred and twentieth chapters harsh treatment (two)
Mu Ziqi walked in and sat down on the chair opposite Xie Mingxi.
The maids all retreated outside the door.
"These two are my maidservants," Mu Ziqi said softly, "With them guarding the door, we can talk in peace."
Xie Mingxi took a deep look at Mu Ziqi: "You don't have to panic when I'm here. No one dares to spy on who I'm with or what I'm talking about."
Mu Ziqi was silent for a moment, wanting to say something, but suddenly her eye circles turned red and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Xie Mingxi did not say anything to comfort her, but silently handed the clean silk handkerchief to Mu Ziqi's hand.
Mu Ziqi took the silk handkerchief, covered her eyes, and cried silently for a moment. The silk handkerchief was quickly soaked with tears. After a while, Mu Ziqi's mood calmed down slightly.
"Thank you sister, you must think I'm ridiculous."
Mu Ziqi's tone was full of self-deprecation and bitterness: "That day when you came to put on my makeup, I was worried about my future sister-in-law, so I told you in public that it would be inconvenient for us to come and go in the future."
"You didn't argue with me, and you were kind enough to comfort me. Now, in just one year, I have become what I am now."
"I was shameless to come to see you, but I couldn't help myself and came here shamelessly. I'm still crying in front of you. Do I still expect you to open your mouth to comfort me?"
Before he finished speaking, two lines of tears fell quietly again.
Xie Mingxi sighed silently: "Sister Mu, I don't care about what happened that day. Why do you have to worry about it? Besides, the grievances between the Huainan Palace and the Xie family have nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself for this.
!”
Mu Ziqi said with red eyes: "How come there is no connection?"
"Your haircut gift is so important. My father-in-law secretly sent a message to my father, instructing him to cause trouble for the Xie family. My father looked at my face and reluctantly agreed to the matter. He deliberately made things difficult at the Xie family banquet.
Thank you, Sir, for embarrassing you. Fortunately, His Highness the Seventh Prince rescued you in time, otherwise, your hairpin ceremony would have been disrupted."
"I stayed in the inner palace of the palace all day, and I didn't know much about it. I didn't know the whole story until today. I really feel sorry for you, so I have the audacity to come to apologize to you."
After saying that, Mu Ziqi stood up and saluted: "Thank you, sister, I'm sorry! Please forgive my father for the sake of past friendship."
…
Xie Mingxi has never been a magnanimous person.
On the contrary, she is very vindictive. She will never easily forgive those who have offended her. A light apology will not move her.
She couldn't harden her heart towards Mu Ziqi.
There was even a trace of unspeakable apology in my heart.
Before Mu Ziqi got married, she could have told Mu Ziqi about Sheng Xuan's preference for girls... Perhaps, earlier, when the news of Mu Ziqi and Sheng Xuan's engagement came, she could have hinted to Mu Ziqi
.
It's just that she doesn't have much contact with Mu Ziqi, and is nowhere near as close as she is with Lin Weiwei. Such private matters cannot be trusted by others without conclusive evidence.
If she opens her mouth rashly, how can she explain to Mu Ziqi that she knows the ulterior secret? How can she convince the Mu family that she is telling the truth?
Furthermore, she has already made up a plan to deal with the Huainan Prince's Palace. She will never be able to leak even a little bit of information before, let alone be alerted by the Huainan Prince's Palace.
On the day Mu Ziqi got married, there was a huge uproar outside the Huainan Prince's Palace. If the Mu family had regretted the marriage and chosen another marriage for Mu Ziqi, Mu Ziqi would not be in the situation she is today.
She had many reasons to convince herself that all this had nothing to do with her. But at this moment, looking at Mu Ziqi like this, how could she be so cruel?
"Senior Mu," Xie Mingxi reached out to help Mu Ziqi up, her eyes a little complicated: "I have never blamed you."
Mu Ziqi raised her teary eyes and stared blankly at Xie Mingxi for a moment: "Sister Xie, do you really not blame me?"
Xie Mingxi nodded and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Mu Ziqi's eyes with her hands: "This matter has passed. Our father and daughter did not suffer, but the seventh prince's words were sharp and a bit aggressive. Master Mu was a little agitated.
Embarrassing.”
"If you are free, go back to Mu's house and comfort Master Mu."
Mu Ziqi smiled a bit bitterly: "To tell you the truth, I went back to my parents' house in the morning. However, my father's anger is still lingering, and my brothers are not happy. They don't have a good attitude toward me either. They all say yes.
I made my father a joke."
"If it weren't for me, my father wouldn't have accepted my father-in-law's invitation, and he wouldn't have humiliated himself. After all, it's still my fault that I married the wrong person."
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows and smiled coldly: "This marriage was arranged for you by your father. At that time, the King of Huainan had not yet declined, and everyone in the Mu family was very proud of being able to get such a good marriage."
"On the day you got married, there was such a commotion outside the Huainan Prince's Palace, but your brothers and brothers did not take you back to the Mu family. They still asked you to go to the Prince's Palace to get married."
"They were the ones who pushed you to this point. Now, how can I blame you?"
Mu Ziqi smiled sadly, and the bitterness in her tone became stronger: "They opened their mouths to blame, and I have no power to refute."
So what if you open your mouth to refute? Do you still want to break up with your family?
She is struggling in her husband's family, and if she no longer has the support of her father and brother, her life in the future will be even more difficult.
Xie Mingxi wanted to say something, but when she saw Mu Ziqi's face full of self-pity, she swallowed the words when they reached her lips.
At home, you obey your father, when you get married, you obey your husband, and when your husband dies, you obey your son.
The three obediences and four virtues firmly bind women. And in this world, how many women are there who truly have the courage to contend with secular prejudice?
Just because she can, it doesn't mean that Mu Ziqi also has the courage.
No matter how much he said, it was just poking Mu Ziqi's heart.
…
Mu Ziqi didn't stay long and quickly left.
Xie Mingxi didn't hesitate much and sent Mu Ziqi to the entrance of the academy.
Mu Ziqi had wiped away the tears on her face, only her eyes were slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "Thank you sister, if there is nothing important in the future, I won't come."
Now they are on opposite sides, and even when they meet, they don't know what to say. They are just embarrassed and embarrassed.
Xie Mingxi said nothing and silently shook Mu Ziqi's hand.
Mu Ziqi smiled sadly, got on the carriage, and left quickly.
Xie Mingxi stood there, watching the carriage go away. She felt a little inexplicably gloomy and depressed. Her chest seemed to be blocked by something invisible.
After a long time, Xie Mingxi slowly exhaled. Just as he was about to turn around, a carriage with the Yan Mansion logo came into view.
"Thank you, sister," Yan Zhenzhen poked her head out of the carriage and waved to Xie Mingxi. Her bright face was filled with a cheerful smile. Her eyes suddenly lit up.
The depression in Xie Mingxi's heart was mostly dissipated by Yan Zhenzhen's arrival, and she smiled at Yan Zhenzhen.
