The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

After getting off the carriage, Lu Xiaoqi said goodbye to Sheng Minghua, and walked to her courtyard with Nanny Zhong and a few maids. She was dejected, and her invisible ears and tail seemed to droop down, looking pitiful. She was now very helpless and regretful, and was simply full of sadness and wanted to cry.

It was already evening when she returned to Dingbei Marquis Mansion. Because she had already eaten at the Grand Princess Mansion when she came back, Lu Xiaoqi said directly with a tired face: "You go down first. I'm a little tired today and want to go to bed early."

Nanny Zhong stepped forward and helped Lu Xiaoqi sit down on the soft couch in the room, and said softly: "Miss, at least you should wash up? You are tired after half a day in the Grand Princess Mansion today. You are not only contaminated with pollen, but also spent a lot of effort. I think you must have sweated a lot. It's better to take a good bath and wash up to wash away your fatigue before resting."

Lu Xiaoqi After hesitating for a while, she still couldn't make up her mind to rest with sweat all over her body. Although she didn't have mysophobia, she felt very uncomfortable... After being interrupted by Nanny Zhong, Lu Xiaoqi's mood was not as low as before. She nodded and reluctantly said, "Okay then."

Since Nanny Zhong took over, all the affairs in Sheng Xuanhua's courtyard have been in order. For example, hot water is always available. Even if there is no hot water, there are many maids serving in her courtyard. If you give a hundred yuan, you can quickly get several pots of hot water.

In the bathroom, the steam was dense and the heat was surging. The large bathtub was placed in the center of the bathroom. Lu Xiaoqi soaked in the warm hot water and couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan. She felt that all the fatigue in her body was soothed by the warm and clean water. The whole person couldn't help but nestle in the water and close his eyes to rest.

Lu Xiaoqi was the only one in the bathroom, so she could do some unladylike actions, such as leaning on the bathtub with her arms open as if embracing the world, or sinking her whole body into the water, leaving only her bare head above the water.

Well, it looks a bit silly.

Just when Lu Xiaoqi was taking a bath and was so innocent that she forgot her sadness and regret just now, she suddenly heard the curtain of the bathroom being lifted. She was startled and leaned against the copper-wooden wall of the bathtub, leaving only her head and looking at the person who came in with vigilance.

The one who came in was Nanny Zhong, who was carrying a pot of hot water. She came closer, stretched out her clean hand to touch the water, tested the temperature, and smiled, "The water temperature has dropped a little. I'll add some hot water to the girl, please stay away." After that, she found a direction farthest from Lu Xiaoqi and began to pour hot water into the bathtub.

The boiling hot water was poured into the original water in the bathtub, and the heat immediately spread from the place where the water blended. The water temperature, which had already dropped a little, suddenly rose again, making Lu Xiaoqi sigh comfortably. She quietly sat up straight in the bathtub, letting her shoulders emerge from the water: "Thank you, Aunt Zhong, I feel very comfortable after adding hot water."

Because Aunt Zhong is old and has always been kind and caring to her, Lu Xiaoqi actually likes her very much in her heart and has a feeling for her as an elder. Seeing that the person who came in was Aunt Zhong, she was not too repulsive or shy, but was more accepting.

Nanny Zhong smiled slightly, put down the kettle in her hand, took the clean towel beside her, dipped it in hot water to absorb the heat, and then began to help Lu Xiaoqi wash her shoulders and arms gently. Nanny Zhong asked kindly: "It's a happy thing to participate in the flower viewing party in the princess's mansion today. Why is the girl in a bad mood when she comes back?"

Splashing water on her snow-white arms, Lu Xiaoqi suddenly sighed very sadly: "Nanny, am I stupid? Not only am I slower than others in learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but even my daily behavior is very unsound."

"I don't know what I am doing. I can't even think of the true meaning of other people's words. I can't understand what they are saying when I am ridiculed, let alone fight back. I know that others want to harm me, but I don't know how to defend myself. No one will believe it if I tell others about this. Instead, they think I am too suspicious and petty."

Nanny Zhong paused, after all, there was no way She said something to praise her for being smart, but she just said vaguely: "Miss, you can reflect on yourself and figure out the 'deep meaning' of other people's words after the fact, which means that you are not stupid, but you are simple and straightforward, so you are naturally not as fickle as others."

When Lu Xiaoqi's mood improved a little, and she seemed to have a sense of enlightenment that "it's not that I'm too stupid, but that the enemy thinks too much and has too many twists and turns in his mind", Zhong Ma asked again: "Miss, the person who wants to harm you is the second lady? Although I have not been in the mansion for a long time, if I were to say, Dingbei Hou is very strict in managing the family, and the second lady, a concubine's daughter, has no chance to harm you."

She felt that the eldest lady was completely worrying about nothing. She had been watching from the sidelines in Dingbei Hou's mansion these days and found that although Liu was dull, she was good at managing the family. Although Dingbei Hou rarely set foot in the backyard (in fact, he had not been there once since Zhong Ma came), he was clear-minded and did not favor his concubine and kill his wife. He also clearly distinguished between legitimate and illegitimate children.

If the second girl really intends to harm the eldest girl, as long as Lord Dingbei knows about this, the fate of the second girl and her daughter will definitely be worse than that of the eldest girl who was framed. Lord Dingbei is not the kind of person who would be led by a woman. If the second girl really has any ideas, the consequences will definitely be something she cannot bear.

Lu Xiaoqi shook her head and whispered: "What if it's not inside the mansion, but outside? For example, at the eldest princess's flower viewing party today, if Sheng Fanghua didn't fall down while showing off her talent, she would definitely find another one. Take the opportunity to put eye drops on me in public and promote my arrogance, rudeness, and so on.”

"But that's it." Aunt Zhong cut off Lu Xiaoqi's words. Her expression was calm and she didn't mean that Lu Xiaoqi felt the same. She just said calmly, "Even if the second lady wants to embarrass the girl or embarrass the girl, she can only Dare to cause trouble with words, and don’t dare to be too blatant.”

Aunt Zhong lowered her head, and the sternness in her eyes made Lu Xiaoqi straighten her back involuntarily. As if she was obediently being trained, she continued to speak, her words were crisp and sonorous: "If there is such a verbal confrontation, the girl will not be able to defeat her. , How will the girl live in the future? Do you want everyone to follow the girl, say good things about you, and be obedient to you? "

Lu Xiaoqi was stunned: "Well... that's not the case, but, but Sheng Fanghua finds opportunities to find fault with me. Can't I be angry? I can only suffer? I can't be the only one who suffers." In the previous life, Sheng Xuanhua was killed so miserably, shouldn't he come back to help the original owner take revenge?

Hmm... Moreover, at the flower viewing party, Lu Xiaoqi used an air hammer to harm Sheng Fanghua, but did not get any useful results at all. Although Sheng Fanghua fell hard and was injured, many ladies were attracted by her outstanding dancing skills. In her eyes, when the dance went awry later, she responded very appropriately and moved forward and retreat freely, making all the ladies secretly nod their heads with approval in their hearts.

So although Sheng Fanghua fell down, she didn't make any big fool of herself, and she even got the princess' pity. Overall, she didn't suffer much loss at all. That's why Lu Xiaoqi looked depressed when she came back. She tried her best to make trouble for Sheng Fanghua, but it was completely useless.

"There is no one in the world that everyone loves. Even His Majesty, he is occasionally annoyed by the officials below him in the court, and everything does not go as planned. If the girl feels wronged by the second girl, who has not been wronged that day? "Mother Zhong raised her brows with a hint of admonishment.

"I'm not asking the girl to endure the second girl's provocation, nor am I asking the eldest girl to give in on everything. On the contrary, you should actively respond to the fight between the second girl and you and come up with a solution instead of just feeling sorry for yourself here. "When I am bullied and no one comes to help me, I feel that I have been wronged and how pitiful I am."

Aunt Zhong stood up straight and said seriously: "There are several ways to resolve the dispute with the second girl."

"The best idea is to ask Dingbei Houfu and his wife to witness it. You can talk to the second girl straight to the point. You are sisters and fathers. You are relatives at home. You are also the same spirit after leaving the palace. The relationship cannot be put aside so easily. , rather than causing the relationship to break down later, it is better to confess the matter early. If it can be reconciled, it would be best. Even if it is not possible, it should be exposed in front of Dingbei Hou in advance. "

"Zhongce, when the second girl plotted against you and provoked you with words, not only did you not respond, but you also fought back with sharp wrists, hitting her seven inches in the face and hitting her right in the door. Of course, you must pay attention to the propriety in your counterattack, and do not hit her in the face. If things get serious, you can't make the family scandal public. If you really tear her face down, you won't be able to get anywhere. "

"Just push the second girl's outstretched hand back. If you do this a few times, she will naturally know that you are not easy to mess with. The wiser people will stop talking. When you all get married in the future, it is very likely that people from all over the world will join in. How can we remember the little things in the boudoir when we are not together?"

"The best thing to do is, just as the second girl plots against you, you can plot back - but this method is too stupid and stupid. I really don't want to see the girl and the second girl plotting against each other tit for tat. You are sisters from the same father, so if anything really happens, You made a joke and made the family scandal public, do you think you can surpass the second lady?"

Aunt Zhong shook her head and sighed: "It really brings out the family scandal. No matter who is right or wrong among you sisters, you are all daughters of the Sheng family. Outsiders will not think that this matter was caused by the second girl's scheming. , I just think that the girls from the Sheng family are not well educated, and it will be the three girls from the Sheng family who will be implicated."

"It's not just you three girls. If the girl's two brothers marry and have daughters in the future, they will also be girls from the Sheng family. They will also suffer the turmoil caused by you and the second girl and have their reputations damaged. The relationship between you sisters Is this really going to cause trouble for the entire family? "

Aunt Zhong spoke sincerely, and when she saw Lu Xiaoqi just soaking in the tub without saying a word, she sighed and finally said in a low voice: "If the eldest lady is not happy to hear this, there are three girls in the house. , you and the third girl are both legitimate daughters, why is the second girl only in trouble with you, but your relationship with the third girl is pretty good? "

Lu Xiaoqi trembled and her eyes slowly opened wide. Of course she knew why, because when she was a child, the original owner, who had a domineering and willful personality, had been bullying Sheng Fanghua. She saw from the memory of the original owner that he once pushed Sheng Fanghua into the water. Well...that time, Sheng Fanghua was ill for a long time.

So, is the original owner really innocent...? She is really an innocent good person, and is Sheng Fanghua necessarily a bad person?
