Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 18

After a slight pause, Xu Jiatong said awkwardly: "I want to prepare some grain, rice and cloth to send, but I haven't prepared them yet. I want to ask my third aunt to help me, but after all, it's an extra expense. The words came to my lips a few times, but I didn't say it after all. Even though you are my real grandmother, Mrs. Tai has raised me up after all, and it is considered appropriate on weekdays. I wonder if the old lady can help me this time. Making her life easier is also my repayment for her upbringing."

"I'm afraid it's not difficult to speak to your third aunt, but you know that even if she helped this time, without me, it would be a temporary solution, not the root cause. After all, she raised you. It seems that your affection for her grandparents must Far better than what you said." Li's expression showed no joy or anger.

Xu Jiatong got up and knelt down, kowtowed and said: "People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless. If I am so quick today to indifferent to Mrs. Tai who has raised me for sixteen years, I may not treat the old lady and my father like this in the future. The kindness of nurturing is invaluable." I don’t report it, but I also know the truth of everything. The only reward for Mrs. Tai is food and clothing. If there is a good future in the future, it will be reported to you and my father. Whichever is more important, I will definitely not It will be difficult to measure."

If these words had not been recited several times in secret, Xu Jiatong would not be able to speak so fluently anyway.Cao's love for her is by no means hypocritical, and the pain caused by Li's neglect and bullying towards her cannot be healed overnight.

"Now everyone knows that she has raised you safely to the age of Ji. If I refuse to accommodate such a small matter, wouldn't people laugh at me for being unreasonable? You need to look at the list here in Xuexin Prepare, send someone to deliver it once in half a year in March. You also go back and have a look, and bring me a message, as long as she keeps herself safe, she can always be her wife in a private house." Li said solemnly.

"Yes." Xu Jiatong straightened up, but still did not get up.

Mrs. Cao can temporarily avoid the fate of being frozen to death and starving to death in a private house.But if she is disobedient, or becomes an outcast, she doesn't even need to order her personally, as long as Xue Xin understands, these small favors can be taken back at any time.

Xu Jiatong tried his best not to clenched his hands. At this moment, Li Shi asked her to get up, his voice a little smug.She sat down, lowered her eyebrows and waited for Li Shi's instruction.

"You are still young, and you have experienced too few things, but you don't know that people's hearts are unfathomable. You said that she is not kind to you, so you have nothing to ask for? In this way, she raised your father before, and then raised you , your father will always give her a hand sooner or later when he thinks about these two paragraphs of kindness. Second, if she doesn't have a son, if she doesn't even have a grandchild by her side, wouldn't she be bullied even more? I discussed it with your father Don't give her this face, but your father said that she came out of the palace after all, it's not easy to do things right, and because of the rules of the ancestors, I was willing to give up, otherwise why would I keep my granddaughter by her side? Many years." Li Shi said indignantly, observing the changes in her expression while talking.

On the surface, Xu Jiatong made a look of sudden realization and grief, but Xu Jiatong still didn't believe it in his heart.Perhaps it was because of doubts about her background, and perhaps it was because the other girls of the Xu family had already occupied her entire attention. In Li's eyes, she was just a pawn who was always waiting to see what happened, not a granddaughter.

And to Mrs. Cao Tai, even though she is a pawn, she is also an important pawn with high hopes.What's more, the 16 years of mutual help cannot be deceived. This kind of affection even surpassed ordinary family affection. Mrs. Cao may also owe her a lot, but this is the only thing that does not owe her.

"Forget it, her body must have deteriorated in recent years. That's fine, I want her to live a good life, the longer the better. She thinks that she is hopeful, so I will let her fetch water from a bamboo basket For nothing, let her see that her contribution to you is just making a wedding dress for someone else." Li Shi sneered, glanced at her, and began to close her eyes and rest.

Xu Jiatong retreated knowingly, only to hear her voice faintly behind her: "Don't follow her, the dirty tricks she brought out from the palace will hurt you sooner or later."

"This... who made the third lady angry again? I just heard the movement, and I smashed something again." A servant woman said without any surprise.

"It's still about those things. Madam has been holding her breath in her heart, but after all, she is facing the old lady." The voice was Hong Si, the maid beside Zheng, her voice was very low, and she was very embarrassed.

"The third wife is the main wife who has been married by three matchmakers and six hires. She is also a lady from a great family. I heard that she is the only daughter of her natal family. The old lady is... The third wife can't think about it, and others can't persuade her."

The two said a few words and then left, Xu Jiatong was pondering Li Shi's words over and over again, feeling that Li Shi was advancing step by step every time he spoke, with unfathomable intentions.She couldn't help being a little distracted, and listened to the two people's words in a crooked manner.

Xu Jiatong smiled knowingly, and suddenly understood the smug look in Li Shi's eyes when she knelt down and bowed her head.No matter how shrewd and powerful Li Shi is, she is nothing more than a concubine in Zheng Shi's eyes.

Even if it is Zheng's mother-in-law in the true sense, a noble concubine is still an unworthy concubine in her bones.

Xu Xiaoxian's marriage to the Zheng family can naturally raise Li's status, but it also creates hidden dangers.These Lis must also understand, but she has been able to suppress this kind of contradiction, and she must feel that she can continue to suppress it like this.

His biological mother, Mrs. Du, was entangled in rumors, and her stepmother, Mrs. Lin, was supported by a noble concubine. Presumably, Mrs. Zheng would not wait to see them either.Xu Jiatong snorted softly, his eyes were shining brightly, and there was a kind of coquettish beauty in the night.

"Hey..." There was a low laugh from the wall more than fifty steps away, and then the silence of the dark night returned.There is only the sound of the dead branches being moved by the wind, and the soft moonlight shines on the pool water under the wall, reflecting the flowing light and shadow.

Xu Jiatong was still in shock, looking around, he was still as normal as before.Since she returned to the ancestral house, one or several people have been secretly watching her movements.Friends and foes are unknown, all she can do is to be more cautious and try not to make mistakes.

There was a group of furry and chubby things bouncing on the skirt that touched the ground. She spread her hands, and the fat rabbit with double chins jumped up when she lowered her head, and slammed into her body.

"Sugar Baby, did someone come here just now?" Xu Jiatong tried to use animal intuition to prove that she wasn't hallucinating just now.

The hairball in front of him bounced up and down twice, then left and right, licking her hand heartlessly, with the two short legs in front covering his fleshy belly, tilting his head and complaining looking at her.

"Yes or no? Forget it, I can't catch them anyway." Xu Jiatong rubbed the warm hair ball in his hand, and the round head of the hair ball immediately leaned towards her palm, she couldn't help but Jue chuckled and cursed, "Stupid eating and sleeping, heartless, if I can be like you, I will be blessed."

"Miss is back. The porridge is still warming on a small fire. Madam eat some before resting, lest her stomach churn and sleep badly." Bi Shui stepped forward to pick up Xu Jiatong's outer clothes, and went to the small stove outside to warm tea Serve porridge.

Xu Jiatong sat down, the fat rabbit in his hand suddenly jumped onto the table, took out a small silver bead from between the teapot and the cup, and held it in front of it as if offering a treasure.She took it over and took a look, and couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

Bi Shui put the porridge bowl in front of her, glanced at it and said: "This is what Sugar Baby found in the yard, and it got stuck in the crack of the stone under the lamp post. The servant girl looked at this thing as if it was made of silver, but It's much harder than silver, and it doesn't look like something from the mansion, so if it's a servant's plaything, it's left for sugar babies to play with."

"Pa" the fat rabbit stomped dissatisfiedly, jumped up on the table, lay down on the table at once, jumped up again, and then lay down on the side suddenly.Repeated this three times, seeing that they still didn't understand, it did it again, this time it simply rolled its eyes and kicked its legs a few times.
