Wishful Things

It was a girl.

The girl obviously heard the commotion and came to watch the commotion. She was engrossed in watching the commotion, and she never expected to meet Xia Xi's eyes suddenly.

The four eyes met for a moment, the girl's expression changed, she 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 the situation did not allow her to think about other things - the big bird seemed to have had enough revenge, and was standing on the roof condescendingly admiring her masterpiece.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Xi hurriedly supported the maid's arm and stood up.

Zhou Wei ran over and said in a trembling voice, "Ah Xi, are you okay..."

Xia Xi gritted her teeth.

This question is simply nonsense!

So embarrassed, she didn't even have the courage to turn her head and stare at Xu Mingyi... Now she just wants to leave this ghostly place immediately! Get out of sight of that big bird!

Zhou Wei supported Xia Xi and quickly left here, and got into the carriage parked not far away.

In the carriage, Xia Xi leaned against the hidden bag, pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and the servant girl wiped off the gray matter stuck to her hair and forehead.

Zhou Wei glanced at her, eyes full of unbearable and said: "Ah Xi, this bird is too fierce, why..."

"shut up!"

Xia Xi interrupted her in a cold voice, her brows were tightly frowned, 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 in public three years ago... She really felt that there would be nothing 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 you talk about her?

She subconsciously wanted to escape, but she couldn't linger, until the blue girl's figure suddenly flashed inexplicably in front of her eyes, and her subconscious mind, which just wanted to temporarily distract her to escape the most embarrassing thing, prompted her to ask: "Who is that person in the blue dress in the crowd just now?"

These words were a bit out of date, and the two maids and Zhou Wei didn't react.

She heard her say impatiently again: "It's the one who still has the medicine bag in his hand!"

"Carrying the medicine bag..." Zhou Wei thought for a moment, and said, "Ah Xi, you are not talking about Zhan Yunjiao, are you?"

She also saw each other just now.

When nothing happened to the Zhan family, Zhan Yunjiao liked making friends with people very much, and she was very flattering to her—at first she thought that the Zhan family was close to the Zhen Guo government, and that the relationship between Zhan Yunjiao and Xu Mingyi must be good, so she patiently dated Zhan Yunjiao for a while.

But then she soon found out that Xu Mingyi didn't buy into this Zhan's girl, so she didn't bother to talk to her.

Not long after, something like that happened to Zhan's family and got involved in Xia Han's case...

Since then, she hasn't seen Zhan Yunjiao very much. Just now, she saw that her clothes are far from what they used to be. She thinks that her life must be down and out.

"Zhan Yunjiao... who is that?" Xia Xi asked with a frown.

Zhou Wei then explained Zhan Yunjiao's identity, but he didn't mention that he had a relationship with her.

Xia Xi sneered.

It turned out to be the daughter of Zhan Qian.

The younger sister of Zhan Yunzhu who identified her brother in court, then turned around and threw herself into the river.

No wonder just now when she saw her looking over, she ran away like a blind mouse.

How merciful her father was--

Xu Ying opened a prosperous shop in the city, and Zhan's family is still alive and well.

But the father who treats outsiders so kindly and magnanimously treats his own family more cruelly than anyone else. He pushed his second brother out and treated his mother indifferently afterwards, and now he wants to use her as a bargaining chip to recruit the new champion for him!

"Speaking of this Zhanyunjiao, it seems that life is not easy now..." Zhou Wei said in a low voice: "I used to live in Qingyunfang. After something happened at home, the tribe 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: "Based on this, she and Xu Mingyi must have had contacts in the past?"

Zhou Wei said noncommittally: "The previous two were neighbors."

Xia Xi sneered and said nothing, obviously still trying to calm down.

"Ah Xi, in the confusion just now, I heard something... I don't know if I should tell you..." Zhou Wei said hesitantly.

Xia Xi didn't have the slightest patience at this time, she frowned and said, "Say what you want!"

Zhou Wei flinched in fright, and said in a low voice: "I heard... that big bird is a vulture, very fierce by nature, and I heard people say that this vulture is raised by Miss Xu..."

Xia Xi reacted for a moment, and her face sank to the extreme.

So 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 before, but she must have known it clearly. The reason why she reminded me at first was to annoy me...to see me make a fool of myself! She did it on purpose!"

What happened to her today was completely planned by Xu Mingyi!

Zhou Wei opened his mouth, but did not speak.

How should I put it, it was clearly the bird that Xia Xi took the initiative to provoke, and the whip was in his hand, even if the girl from the Xu family didn't say anything at the time, the result should be the same, right?

It was obvious that he was stupid enough to risk his life, but he still wanted to push the responsibility on others... This was indeed Xia Xi's usual practice.

However, it would be great for Xia Xi to think so.

Just keep being so ignorant.

The carriage quickly returned to Xia's house.

What happened on Xiyi Street hadn't had time to be reported back, Xia Xi went all the way back to her courtyard, although she had changed her clothes, she still couldn't cover up her embarrassment from head to toe, which attracted the attention of many servants and maids.

Zhou Wei sent the person to him, so he didn't stay any longer. After all, according to past experience, staying any longer will only be used by Xia Xi to vent her anger.

As soon as Xia Xi returned to the courtyard, she ordered someone to prepare hot water for bathing.

After washing, she sat in front of the dressing table and had her hair twisted by the maid.

Looking at the reflection in the mirror, Xia Xi's complexion changed, and he immediately touched the position of the forehead, there was obviously a scar there——

She immediately moved closer to the bronze mirror, and then found that there were injuries around the corners of her eyes and neck.

She didn't bother to pay attention to this before!

Although it doesn't look like it was scratched by the big bird directly with its claws, after all, the injury must be much more serious if it is really scratched, but it must have been injured in the process of avoiding the big bird!

And the scar on the forehead is not shallow... I am afraid it will leave a scar!

Xia Xi's anger, which had just calmed down a little, surged again, and she raised her hand and swung all the things on the dressing table in front of her to the ground.

It's started again, isn't it?

——The servant girl who was wiping her hair was no longer surprised, she silently bowed her head and stepped aside.

Seeing this scene, the woman in charge who just walked in twitched the corner of her mouth fiercely.

The girl is going crazy...

If you smash it twice a day, if you continue to smash it like this, the dowry will probably be lost!

If this was not her grandma, but her own, she would have given her a big slap in the face long ago—and if she asked her to say, it would be most appropriate to give a slap and throw him to sleep in a pigsty like this.

After Xia Xi smashed it, she lay down in front of the dressing table and burst into tears.

No one dared to persuade the maidservant, and no one wanted to persuade her. After she had cried enough, the woman in charge brought hot water over. She should wipe her face and apply medicine.

After all this tossing, the sky is getting dark.

At this time, a big servant girl came to the courtyard to deliver the message.

After listening to the maid's words, Xia Xi's face turned red and white.

It seemed that her father had already heard what happened to her on Xiyi Street today.

But when something like this happened to her, her father didn't even say a word of comfort, and even wanted to restrain her!

The woman in charge didn't think there was anything wrong.

After such things were said, it would be strange to have the face to go out in a short time - but who made her girl always thick-skinned, not only would she go out, she might even make trouble.

Master, this is also frightening.

Besides, the wedding date has already been set, so if there is such a disturbance, what will the groom official think? ——What kind of thing is this person who is going to marry back? Can it still work? Where do we go in the days to come?

Thinking of this, the woman in charge couldn't help but want to persuade her: "Miss, this temper needs to be rested more or less. When we get married in the future, these two people will live together..."

"go out."

Xia Xi interrupted her coldly.

……Fine.

The woman in charge simply turned around and walked out, and went back to eat melon seeds.

Xia Xi didn't have dinner, and lay down on the bed after changing, but couldn't fall asleep at all.

Whether she closes her eyes or opens her eyes, what happened today is in her mind.

Without thinking about it, one can know that she must have become the laughing stock in everyone's eyes at this time...

Xu Mingyi...

In this capital, only Xu Mingyi dared to play tricks on her like this! It can even be said that nine out of ten of the losses she suffered since she could remember were all thanks to Xu Mingyi!

Why?

Why can Xu Mingyi get out of trouble every time he offends her?

Even when they kicked her into the pond that time, the Xu family didn't apologize in the slightest, they didn't even bother to save face, they were blatantly protecting their shortcomings!

But she will be punished by her father, who will only scold her for messing around... It has always been like this!

They are also the daughters-in-law of the family, and their family backgrounds are almost the same, so why is Xu Mingyi better than her in everything?

Especially now that she is going to marry someone like Cao Lang...!

I'm afraid Xu Mingyi has been secretly laughing at her because of this, right? !

——The jealousy and resentment that she has accumulated in her heart since she was a child, and she is unwilling to face and refuse to admit, at this moment, it is like a flood bursting a bank, and all of them rushed out.

Just a few words from Xu Mingyi would even be regarded by her as the source of all unsatisfactory things in her life.

And that Xu Ying...

When she made a fool of herself today, Xu Ying stood outside the shop door and looked at her with indifferent eyes--is a dirty, shameless bitch worthy of looking at her with that kind of eyes!

In the night, the girl's face changed repeatedly, and there was eager thinking in her eyes, as if the resentment rising in her heart was eager to find an outlet to vent.

Suddenly, she thought of someone.

Maybe the other party can understand Xu Mingyi better than her...

Xia Xi didn't close his eyes all night.

Early the next morning, someone sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhou Luo.

She was grounded and unable to go out, and Zhou Wei needed to do some things.

When the maid who delivered the letter went, Zhou Wei was not at home.

In the garden of the Ministry of War Minister's Mansion, Zhou Wei was sitting with Ji Wanyou in the pavilion enjoying the flowers and chatting.

The two maids stood guard not far away, and Zhou Wei in the pavilion spoke in a low voice, but with a smile: "...I know she is not satisfied with this marriage. His face...is a pleasant surprise."

When the girl said this, she half covered her face with a round fan, and couldn't help giggling.

Ji Wanyou also smiled slightly, and said, "It's smoother than what you and I originally thought."

"That's right." Zhou Wei said, "According to Xia Xi's temperament, after suffering such a loss yesterday, there will definitely be troubles afterwards."

If it goes on like this, there may not be any good results.

She could endure Xia Xi's bullying and contempt day after day, but it didn't mean that Xu Mingyi's stubbornness could also endure - Xia Xi had never taken advantage of Xu Mingyi since she was a child.

Thinking about Xia Xi's inevitable loss again, a smile of expectation appeared in the girl's eyes.

If there is too much trouble at that time, it is not impossible to withdraw the marriage - after all, the Xia family also needs face, and their daughter is too miserable, so how can they have the cheek to put it on Cao Zhuangyuan's mansion?

Speaking of which, Xia Xi was really dissatisfied.

Today's top scholar doesn't even look down on him, so he might as well not marry for the rest of his life.

Sister Ji has already carefully analyzed it for her. If the Xia family's marriage is really retiring, then she is the most suitable one among the girls from the official family in Beijing.

She is not as stupid as Xia Xi, who only stares at one face.

"However, even if this marriage between Xia Xi and Cao Zhuangyuan still works out, it doesn't matter. Anyway, even if she gets married, she still won't go well." Zhou Wei smiled comfortably: "And seeing Xia Xi make such an ugly face once, I already feel very relieved."

To be a human being is to be content and always happy, and she is not a person who sticks to the horns.

"Sister Zhou has always been open-minded and intelligent. No matter which family she marries into, she can live happily ever after." Ji Wanyou said with a smile.

Zhou Wei was not shy either, 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 level—thank you Sister Ji for being so considerate of me."

Of course, she also knows that Ji Wanyou must have her own plans - but as long as it is good for her, she doesn't mind being used.

Ji Wanyou is the only daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Xia Xi is the daughter of the chief assistant. Isn't she wandering among these people just to get some benefits that they don't like?

Therefore, there is no need to say some things, she just needs to pretend to be stupid.

The two talked for a while, and Zhou Wei resigned in due course and left.

Ji Wanyou ordered the maid to see her off.

At this time, a young man in a navy blue gown walked out from the depths of the side path.

Two chapters in one, good night.
