The girl obviously heard the commotion and came to watch the excitement. She was so absorbed in watching the excitement that she did not expect that she would suddenly and unexpectedly look into Xia Xi's eyes.
When their eyes met for a moment, the girl's expression changed, and she quickly turned around and ran away, as if she was very afraid of being seen by Xia Xi.
This is undoubtedly abnormal.
Xia Xi frowned quickly, but this situation did not allow her to think about anything else - Big Bird seemed to have had enough revenge, and was now standing on the roof, condescendingly admiring his masterpiece.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Xi quickly stood up holding the maid's arm.
Zhou Nu ran over and said in a trembling voice: "Axi, are you okay..."
Xia Xi gritted her teeth.
This question is nonsense!
She was so embarrassed that she didn't even have the courage to turn around and glare at Xu Mingyi... Now she just wanted to leave this ghost place immediately! Run away from the sight of the big bird!
Zhou Nu helped Xia Xi leave the place quickly and got on the carriage parked not far away.
In the carriage, Xia Xi leaned against her back, pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and the maid wiped the gray matter on her hair and forehead for her.
Zhou Nu glanced at her and said with unbearable eyes: "Axi, this bird is too ferocious, why..."
"Shut up!"
Xia Xi interrupted her coldly, frowning tightly, her eyes never opened, and her whole body was trembling slightly.
She always thought that the most embarrassing thing in her life was being kicked into the lotus pond by Xu Mingyi three years ago... She really felt that nothing could be more embarrassing than this.
Until this moment...
Thinking of the scene just now, there was even a brief blank in her mind.
How would those people make fun of her behind her back? How would they talk about her?
She subconsciously wanted to escape, but she couldn't get rid of it, until the blue girl's figure suddenly flashed in front of her eyes. She just wanted to distract her attention temporarily, and to avoid the most embarrassing thing, her subconscious prompted her to ask
Said: "Who is that person in the blue dress in the crowd just now?"
These words were a bit confusing, and neither the two maids nor Zhou Nu responded.
Then she said impatiently: "It's the one with the medicine bag in his hand!"
"Carry the medicine bag..." Zhou Nu thought for a moment and said, "Axi, you are not talking about Zhan Yunjiao, right?"
She also saw the other party just now.
In the past, when nothing happened to the Zhan family, Zhan Yunjiao liked to make friends with others and was very fawning to her. She initially thought that since the Zhan family was close to the Zhenguo government, Zhan Yunjiao must have a good relationship with Xu Mingyi.
, so he has been patiently interacting with Zhan Yunjiao for some time.
But then she soon discovered that Xu Mingyi didn't buy the account of this Zhangjia girl, so she didn't bother to talk to this person.
Not long after, something like that happened to the Zhan family and they were involved in Xia Han's case...
Since then, she hasn't seen Zhan Yunjiao very much. When she looked at her just now, her clothes were far worse than before. She thought that she must be living in a miserable state now.
"Zhan Yunjiao...who is that?" Xia Xi asked with a frown.
Zhou Nu then explained Zhan Yunjiao's identity, but did not mention that he had ever interacted with her.
Xia Xi sneered.
It turned out to be the daughter who possessed potential.
The sister of Zhan Yunzhu who identified her brother in court and then turned around and threw herself into the river.
No wonder when he saw her looking over, he hurriedly ran away like a mouse that couldn't see the light.
Her father is really kind——
Xu Ying opened a prosperous shop in the city, and everyone in Zhan's family was still alive and well.
But his father, who was so kind and generous to outsiders, was crueler to his own family than anyone else. He pushed his second brother out at first, and then treated his mother with all kinds of indifference. Now he wants to use her as a bargaining chip to recruit the top scholar in a new subject for him!
"Speaking of Zhan Yunjiao, life seems to be difficult now..." Zhou Nu said in a low voice: "I used to live in Qingyunfang. After something happened at home, my clan members took the opportunity to go back to the house in Qingyunfang.
, the mother and daughter were kicked out..."
Hearing the words Qingyunfang, Xia Xi immediately asked: "According to this, she must have had contact with Xu Mingyi in the past?"
Zhou Nu said noncommittally: "The two families were neighbors before."
Xia Xi smiled coldly and said nothing, obviously still trying to calm down.
"Axi, in the confusion just now, I heard something... I don't know whether I should tell you..." Zhou Nu said hesitantly.
Xia Xi had no patience at all at this time, frowned and said, "Just say what you want!"
Zhou Nu shrank in fright, and then whispered: "I heard... that big bird is a vulture, and it is very ferocious by nature. I also heard that this vulture was raised by Miss Xu..."
Xia Xi reacted for a moment, and her face suddenly darkened.
It turns out that this thing was really raised by Xu Mingyi?!
"I understand..." she gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't expect this bird to be so ferocious, but she must have known it. The reason why she reminded me at first was to anger me... to see me make a fool of myself! She didn't know it at all.
It’s intentional!”
What she experienced today was completely designed by Xu Mingyi!
Zhou Nu opened his mouth but said nothing.
How should I put it, it was clearly the bird that Xia Xi took the initiative to provoke at that time, and the whip was in his hand. Even if the Xu family girl didn't say anything at that time, the result should be the same, right?
It was obvious that he was stupid enough to commit suicide, yet he still wanted to shift the blame onto others... This was indeed Xia Xi's usual approach.
However, it is of course the best thing for Xia Xi to think so.
Just continue to be so arrogant and ignorant.
The carriage quickly returned to Xia's house.
Before news of what happened on Xiyi Street could be heard back, Xia Xi returned to her courtyard. Although she had changed her clothes, her embarrassment from head to toe was still incomplete, thus attracting the attention of many servants and maids.
Zhou Nu sent the people there and didn't stay any longer. After all, judging from past experience, if he stayed any longer, Xia Xi would just vent his anger on him.
As soon as Xia Xi returned to the courtyard, she ordered someone to prepare hot water for bathing.
After washing, I sat in front of the dressing table and the maid twisted my hair.
Looking at the reflection in the mirror, Xia Xi's expression changed and she immediately touched her forehead. There was obviously a scar there——
She immediately moved closer to the bronze mirror, and then she discovered that there were traces of injuries around the corners of her eyes and on her neck.
She didn't even bother to pay attention to this before!
Although it doesn’t look like he was deliberately scratched by the big bird with his claws. After all, the injury would have been much more serious if he was scratched with his claws. However, he must have been injured while avoiding the big bird!
And the scar on the forehead is not shallow... I'm afraid it will leave a scar!
Xia Xi's anger, which had just calmed down, surged again. He raised his hand and swung everything on the dressing table in front of him to the ground.
It's starting again, right?
——The maid who was wiping her hair was no longer surprised, she bowed her head silently and stepped aside.
When the housekeeper who just walked in saw this scene, she twitched the corner of her mouth severely.
This girl is going crazy...
Smashing it twice a day, if the smashing continues like this, the dowry will probably be lost!
If this was not a girl with her big breasts, but her own child, she would have given her a slap in the face - and she said, for someone like this who loves to smash things, the best thing would be to be beaten and thrown into a pig pen to sleep.
Couldn't be more appropriate.
After Xia Xi smashed it, she lay down in front of the dressing table and cried loudly.
No one dared to dissuade the maid, and no one wanted to dissuade her. When she had cried enough, the stewardess asked someone to bring hot water to wipe her face and apply medicine.
After all this fuss, it was getting dark.
At this time, a maid came to the courtyard to deliver a message.
After hearing what the maid said, Xia Xi's face turned red and white.
It seems that her father has heard about what she encountered on Xiyi Street today.
But something like this happened to her, and her father didn't even say a word of comfort, but even restricted her!
The housekeeper didn't think there was anything wrong.
After saying such things, it is strange that she still has the nerve to go out in such a short period of time - but her girl is always so thick-skinned, she will not only go out, but she may also cause trouble.
The master is also worried about this.
Moreover, the wedding date has been set, and if we continue to make such a fuss, how will the groom feel? - What kind of thing is this guy that he wants to marry back? Is it still possible? Where will the future go?
Thinking of this, the housekeeper couldn't help but want to persuade her: "The girl's temper needs to be exhaled for a while. When we get married in the future, the two of us can live together..."
"go out."
Xia Xi interrupted her coldly.
...Okay.
The stewardess simply turned around and walked out, going back to eat melon seeds.
Xia Xi didn't eat dinner at night. After changing her clothes, she lay down on the bed but couldn't fall asleep at all.
Whether she closed her eyes or opened them, what happened today was in her mind.
You don’t have to think about it, but you also know that she must have become the laughing stock in everyone’s eyes at this time...
Xu Mingyi...
In this capital, only Xu Mingyi dares to tease her like this! It can even be said that since she can remember, nine out of ten losses she has suffered are due to Xu Mingyi!
Why exactly?
Why could Xu Mingyi escape unscathed every time he offended her?
Even when they kicked her into the pond, the Xu family didn't apologize at all. They didn't even bother to save face, and they were blatantly protecting their shortcomings!
But she was going to be punished by her father, who would just scold her for her nonsense... It had always been like this!
They are both legitimate daughters in the family, and their family backgrounds are almost the same. Why is Xu Mingyi better than her in everything?
Especially now that she wants to marry someone like Cao Lang...!
Xu Mingyi was probably secretly laughing at her for this, right?!
——The jealousy and unwillingness that she did not want to admit that she had accumulated in her heart for a long time since she was a child, rushed out like a flood at this moment.
The words "Xu Mingyi" are even regarded by her as the source of all the unsatisfactory things in life.
And the one named Xu Ying...
When she made a fool of herself today, Xu Ying stood outside the shop door and looked at her with cold eyes - a dirty and shameless bitch, how could she deserve to look at her jokes like that?
In the night, the girl's face changed repeatedly, and there was a look of eager thinking in her eyes, as if the resentment rising in her heart was eager to find an outlet.
Suddenly, she thought of someone.
Maybe the other party can understand Xu Mingyi better than she does...
Xia Xi didn't sleep a wink all night.
Early the next morning, someone went to deliver a letter to Zhou Nu.
She was grounded and couldn't go out, so she still needed Zhou Nu to do some things.
When the maid who delivered the letter went, Zhou Nu was not at home.
In the garden of the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War, Zhou Nu and Ji Wanyou were sitting in the pavilion enjoying flowers and chatting.
Two maids were guarding the pavilion. Zhou Nu spoke in a low voice, but with a smile: "...I knew in my heart that she was not satisfied with the marriage. At that time, I just wanted to lead her there.
Listen to what happened to Cao Zhuangyuan and take advantage of her bad mood to see
Going back to Yufang, I once again mentioned that the Xu family girl was very close to the shopkeeper Xu, which added another thorn in her heart towards the Xu family girl - but who knew that the Xu family girl happened to be there, and Xia Xi
It’s such a huge loss...it’s an unexpected surprise.”
When the girl said this, she half-covered her face with a fan and couldn't help but giggle.
Ji Wanyou also smiled lightly and said, "It will go more smoothly than you and I originally thought."
"Yes." Zhou Nu said: "According to Xia Xi's temperament, after suffering such a loss yesterday, there will definitely be trouble again afterwards."
If this quarrel continues, there may not be any good results.
She could endure Xia Xi's bullying and contempt day after day, but that didn't mean she could endure Xu Mingyi's harsh treatment - Xia Xi had never taken advantage of Xu Mingyi since she was a child.
Thinking that Xia Xi would definitely suffer another loss, a smile of anticipation appeared in the girl's eyes.
If the trouble goes too far, it is not impossible to cancel the engagement - after all, the Xia family also wants to have face, and their own daughter is too unbearable, so how can she shamelessly go to Cao Zhuangyuan's house?
To put it bluntly, Xia Xi was really dissatisfied.
If you don't like the number one scholar nowadays, you might as well never marry again.
Sister Ji has carefully analyzed it for her. If the Xia family's marriage is really canceled, then among the girls from the official families in Beijing, she is the most suitable one.
She is not as stupid as Xia Xi, who only looks at one face when looking at people.
"But even if the marriage between Xia Xi and Cao Zhuangyuan can still come true, it doesn't matter. Anyway, even if she gets married, she will still not be happy." Zhou Nu smiled happily: "I can't see Xia Xi being so ugly once.
, I already feel very relieved.”
As a human being, you should always be content with what you have, and she is not a pushover.
"Sister Zhou has always been open-minded and intelligent. No matter which family she marries into, her life will always be enjoyable." Ji Wanyou said with a smile.
Zhou Nu was not shy, and said with a smile: "I can't compare to Sister Ji. If Sister Ji hadn't reminded me this time, I wouldn't have thought of this. Thank you Sister Ji for thinking about me."
Of course, she also knew that Ji Wanyu must have her own plans - but as long as it was good for her, she didn't mind being used.
Ji Wanyou is the only daughter of the Minister of War, and Xia Xi is the daughter of the chief minister. Isn't she walking among these people just to pick up some benefits that they don't like?
Therefore, there are some things that don't need to be said, she just plays dumb.
The two talked for a while, and Zhou Nu excused himself at the right time and left.
Ji Wanyou ordered the maid to see him off.
At this time, a young man wearing a navy blue gown walked out from the depths of the path beside him.
