The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 127
This night finally passed peacefully, but the next day Bai Jiujiu was miserable.

It's not that someone bullied her again, but her dearest Granny Zhu waited for Xia Jinchai to go out of the mansion before going to court, and she entered Yiyuan behind.

Because of her relationship with Bai Jiujiu, no matter how displeased Hong Shao and Xiao Lian were, they just gave her a few extra glances, and no one dared to kick her out.

"Jiujiu, were you okay last night?"

As soon as she entered the door, regardless of whether Bai Jiujiu woke up or not, Granny Zhu began to ask questions with concern.

Bai Jiujiu rubbed her eyes: "Well, maybe I drank a little too much wine, and my head feels uncomfortable."

"Oh. What about the other things? Did anything else happen?" Seeing that Bai Jiujiu was about to fall asleep again after closing her eyes, Grandma Zhu woke up in a hurry.

It's not that she's busy and in a hurry.But judging from Xia Jinchai's merciless words to her yesterday, I am afraid that he and girl Jiujiu will score points just after getting together.Alas, I really miss this girl.

"Others? It's gone." Although Bai Jiujiu was sleeping in a daze, she was still able to shut the door when it came to certain issues of right and wrong that mattered to her face.What's more, that kind of thing is too difficult to talk about.

"Oh, it's fine, it's fine!" Granny Zhu clapped her hand reassuringly, and nodded.

Suddenly, "Oops" exclaimed from Granny Zhu's mouth.The frightened Bai Jiujiu immediately woke up.

Turning his head, following Granny Zhu's suspicious gaze, he saw that the back of his hand was covered in bruises and bruises.Immediately withdrew in a hurry and retracted into the bed.

"Jiujiu, tell Granny, what happened?" Granny Zhu saw Bai Jiujiu's eyes flickering, and asked without hesitation.

"Actually... Jiujiu is not sure what happened, because I really drank a little too much yesterday."

Granny Zhu frowned suspiciously and stared at her eyes.

After a while, he sighed and said: "Jiujiu, don't think that mother-in-law is nagging and troublesome. You are a child with no intentions. Mother-in-law is afraid that you will be tricked by others without knowing it, so she wants to care more. you."

The sincere words made Bai Jiujiu feel ashamed.However, even if she tells everything, the mother-in-law may not only help save every penny, but also cause her to worry even more.Therefore, Bai Jiujiu just shook his head gratefully.

"Mother-in-law, Jiujiu really didn't hide anything from you. Besides, Jiujiu has always known that you are good to me, mother-in-law, so how could Jiujiu encounter troubles and refuse to tell her mother-in-law, please help her to pay attention What about?" Bai Jiujiu said while snuggling up to Granny Zhu's coquettishness.

"Okay, if you really meet something and tell your mother-in-law, then mother-in-law will feel relieved." Then, she gently straightened Bai Jiujiu and stood up from the edge of the bed.

"It's still early. If you don't have any work to do in the morning, let's sleep a little longer." After speaking, Granny Zhu walked towards the door.

Just when she was about to close the door, Bai Jiujiu suddenly thought of something and hurriedly called her back: "Mother-in-law, wait a minute!"

"What's the matter, Jiujiu?"

Bai Jiujiu hesitated for a moment before slowly asking: "Did the prince bring me back to Yiyuan yesterday?"

"Yes. The prince himself carried you back."

Carry... No wonder I vomit all over the place.

Bai Jiujiu felt somewhat understandable why he vomited all over him but he didn't get angry about it.It was all because of him that he made him feel uncomfortable!
"Then...Grandma, did you tell him something? Or...he overheard what you said to me?" Thinking of what Xia Jinchai said yesterday, if she believed Granny Zhu's words, she really wanted to know what it was. What could make him so angry.

Grandma Zhu was stunned. Could it be that Xia Jinchai vented his dissatisfaction with him on Jiujiu?That's why Jiujiu got all the injuries on the back of his hand?
Thinking of this, the vicissitudes of life's cloudy eyes could not help but be filled with worry.

"Grandma, what did we talk about when we were drinking yesterday?" Seeing the doubtful look on Granny Zhu's face, Bai Jiujiu couldn't help but become more curious.

"Oh!" Granny Zhu sighed, and made the edge of Bai Jiujiu's bed again.

While recalling, he looked at Bai Jiujiu and said.

"Yesterday, my mother-in-law asked if you should be Mr. Deng An Deng or General Duanmu."

Bai Jiujiu frowned, he was really drunk, he really didn't remember this question at all, let alone what he would say.

Seeing Bai Jiujiu's frowning expression, Granny Zhu knew she had really forgotten, so she continued unhurriedly.

"Just tell your mother-in-law that Mr. Deng likes you, but you can't like him."

Bai Jiujiu felt that he knew about Deng An's affairs as early as when the love letter was revealed. Since nothing happened at that time, he would definitely not take issue with it yesterday.So, I continued to ask Granny Zhu.

"Then... did you say anything else?"

"Others..." Granny Zhu blinked her eyes hard to remember, and suddenly slapped her thigh, "I remember! Yesterday, before leaving, Prince Chai scolded my old lady for calling me."

Bai Jiujiu hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?"

"He said that when I was old, I was meddling in my own business and didn't know what was good or bad. I actually taught Jiujiu you to like men under his nose."

"Hey, mother-in-law, did you instigate me to like someone yesterday?" Bai Jiujiu asked curiously.Although Granny Zhu treats herself very well on weekdays, she has never mentioned such things to herself.

Granny Zhu said quite innocently: "No way! Granny just thinks that Deng An is a good boy, and he happens to like you. It's quite appropriate for a maid to be in charge of the account. But, it's a pity that you said you can't like him. , so I couldn’t help persuading a few more words, but it happened to be for the prince to listen to, alas!”

"But..." Bai Jiujiu touched the bruised body, feeling extremely wronged, for himself and for her mother-in-law, "Just these words, how did he offend Xia Jinchai, and made him treat me so cruelly?" ?”

"Ah?" Granny Zhu suddenly exhaled softly, "Could it be that the bruise on Jiujiu's hand was really injured by the prince?"

Bai Jiujiu pursed her lips and nodded.

"My lord...couldn't it be..." Granny Zhu said hesitantly, could it be that she guessed wrong again?

"What isn't it?" Seeing Granny Zhu hesitate to speak, Bai Jiujiu was worried that Granny Zhu would see something.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing!" Granny Zhu put on a smile and kept silent.

Bai Jiujiuxin is used to Granny Zhu, since Granny Zhu doesn't say anything, there must be a reason why she doesn't.So it's not intertwined.

Before leaving, Granny Zhu looked at Bai Jiujiu with great reluctance.I prayed over and over again in my heart: I really hope that what I said yesterday was only because of the strict rules of the palace, not what I was worried about!
