Chapter 834 A Thousand Years of Sight
Shao Jie'er was originally not willing to let Shao Wanru go like this. After being so provoked by her, and because she felt that she was very confident, she was really not afraid of Shao Wanru's verification. If you find someone, what should you say when you find someone?"
"If we find someone, I will assume that the second sister has no intention of harming me!" Shao Wanru slightly curved the corners of his lips, looking like he was smiling, but he was not smiling.
"If you find someone, it means that I have no intention of harming you? Fifth sister, what you said is really taking advantage of me." Shao Jie'er sneered. She originally obeyed the wife's wishes and did not argue with Shao Wanru on this matter. They were arguing, but the more Shao Wanru said this, the more people couldn't listen to it.
It was a guaranteed win situation, and Shao Jie'er was not going to give in anymore.
"What does second sister mean?" Shao Wanru asked.
"What I mean is that if I can't find the person, it's my fault, and I'll kowtow to you in person to apologize. If I find the person, it's the fifth sister's fault, and the fifth sister will have to kowtow to me and apologize in front of her grandmother!" Shao Jie'er sneered.
She wins this matter!
The lady sat on it with a gloomy face, but did not stop her. This also increased Shao Jie'er's confidence. Looking at Shao Wanru, her expression became more and more proud.
It was a sure thing, so why did she let Shao Wanru go so easily? Of course, she couldn't really do anything to Shao Wanru. It just proved that Shao Wanru had sent people, and she didn't say that she saw Shao Wanru sent people to set the fire. How the fire started was unknown to others, but Shao Jie'er knew it clearly.
"Second sister's conditions sound fair, but they are actually unfair. Can the second sister's apology be the same as my apology?" Shao Wanru said with a half-smile.
The status of a concubine is so overwhelming that a concubine can't breathe. Among aristocratic families, the status of a concubine has always been clear. Shao Jie'er's status as a concubine is lower than that of Shao Wanru. If a concubine does something wrong, she must apologize to the concubine. But when the legitimate daughter did something wrong, she did not necessarily have to apologize to the concubine, and she had to kowtow in public to apologize.
From this point of view, Shao Jie'er's conditional statement is indeed unfair.
Shao Jie'er's face turned red. She was not ashamed but angry and annoyed. The status of this concubine made her inferior in the entire Xingguo Palace. Now, Shao Wanru mentioned it again in front of so many people. Shao Jie'er Feeling deeply ashamed, blood rushed upwards, and he glared at Shao Wanru hatefully, as if Shao Wanru had done something heinous.
"What do you mean by Fifth Sister?" Shao Jie'er gritted her teeth and couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
Shao Wanru glanced at Shao Jie'er, her attitude was very calm, which was in sharp contrast to Shao Jie'er's anger and anger: "I don't have any other meaning, just to say that the second sister's method is unfair. If I am wrong, , I will apologize to the second sister, but I will be exempted from kowtowing to apologize! As for the second sister, if you are wrong, I don’t want you to kowtow.”
Although Shao Jie'er is a concubine, she is treated as a sister. If she is wrong, just apologize to herself. If she kowtows, it will be offended. Besides, Shao Wanru's original intention is not to suppress Shao Jie'er. Not only will she not suppress Shao Jie'er , and will also give the opportunity to her hands, so that she can climb up this opportunity.
Fair wife? If his second uncle had an equal wife, many things could be dealt with separately. Shao Jie'er's aunt Shao Wanru was very optimistic about her.
Shao Jing actually had several concubines, but the one who actually gave birth to the child was Shao Jie'er's biological mother, Aunt Lu. This Aunt Lu was originally a maid next to Jiang, but later I heard that Jiang took the initiative to treat her. She became an aunt beside Shao Jing, and she used to keep a low profile in the house.
She was very respectful to the Jiang family, and she usually got along quite harmoniously with other aunts. Although she looked inconspicuous, at least she was able to safely give birth to her child, Shao Jie'er, Shao Jing's only concubine.
Such an unassuming person lived a pretty good life in the Duke Xingguo's palace. Being able to give birth to a child in the hands of two people, Jiang and Shao Jing, represents the methods of this Aunt Lu.
Recently, Aunt Lu has been helping the third wife to take care of the house. Shao Wanru once inquired and found out that the management was in order and not messy. I heard that this was also because she had served Jiang before and saw that Jiang was such a good housekeeper.
She has been following the Jiang family, and later she became an aunt, and she is also an aunt who can give birth to an heir. Even though she gave birth to a daughter, it also shows that this Aunt Lu is not simple.
The opportunity is there, and the people are there. The only difference is ambition. Judging from Aunt Lu's behavior in the past, she must not be the kind of person who acts recklessly. But she is not reckless, and there are reckless people. Shao Jie'er is ambitious. But whether this ambition can convince Aunt Lu is still open to question.
Of course she would not let go of such a good opportunity to belittle Shao Jie'er.
Only by provoking Shao Jie'er could it be possible to provoke Aunt Lu behind her.
After hearing what Shao Wanru said, Shao Jie'er gritted her teeth secretly, but she had to agree. If she doesn't kowtow, she won't kowtow. As long as this girl apologizes to her and shows her modesty, at least in this house, she will be able to see her. She has to avoid herself, so that she can catch her.
"Okay! That's it!" Shao Jie'er nodded vigorously, turned to the wife and said: "Grandma, since Fifth Sister doesn't believe what I said, then I will go to Fifth Sister's yard to identify the person! Then I can prove my truth. clean!"
She was innocent, but Shao Wanru was not. His long eyelashes fluttered twice, and Shao Wanru raised his head to look at the sullen dowager.
Since he didn't say a word and didn't stop him, he allowed it. His eyes were as dark as a pool of coldness without a trace of warmth.
"Fifth girl, do you really want second girl to recognize someone?" Mrs. Tai finally spoke and glanced at Shao Wanru with an unsightly expression.
"Grandma, let the second sister's people find it. I really didn't ask anyone to come over and say anything to the second sister." Shao Wanru looked at the dowager very calmly and said.
Then her long eyelashes fell, with a bit of weariness and helplessness. The jagged shadows under the light reflected her delicate face as pale as snow, which made people feel inexplicably weak and delicate. Standing in a corner, she seemed to be like the people around her. They couldn't hang out together, and even though there were many people standing around, she was lonely.
Wen Xichi's eyes fell on the tea cup in front of him, and he seemed to be focusing on the pattern on the tea cup, but only he knew that after just taking a glance, the appearance of the delicate girl made his heart shudder. It hurts, as if something is correcting it, very sad and uncomfortable.
He tried his best to ignore this feeling and stared closely at the tea cup in front of him, but what he saw in his eyes was still the delicate pink face that was half hanging down. He was smiling and laughing, as if on a painting, and as if he was deeply in love. is engraved in his memory, everything on the tea cup is still her, no matter how he looks at it, it is still her.
But her most beautiful face is sad. Even when she smiles, she also gives people a feeling of loneliness and sadness. She has a feeling of having no place to rely on. Wanting to have no place to rely on is originally the sadness of a woman. Everything around her is lively and happy, but the liveliness is other people, she is just a very lonely person...
There was a place in his heart that was faintly collapsing. With the feeling that he couldn't control, a thousand-year glance, or a thousand-year glance, that glance just now seemed to have traveled through a thousand years, making all his previous emotions slowly gather together, and there was something at first The indifference, later suspicion, and finally disgust, all kinds of emotions were deeply entangled together.
He has always been a man of intelligence. He had never thought of it before, just because he thought it was absolutely impossible, and he had never thought about it in this direction. Now, when all his thoughts become full of flavors because of the fleeting glance just now, there are many feelings. It became clearer and clearer, and it made him understand more and more.
My heart, which had always been calm, lost its usual peaceful rhythm and started to beat a little abnormally.
He stretched out his hand and slowly held the tea cup, his eyes were deep, he took a slow sip, then raised his head, quietly listening to the movement in the room, and did not turn his eyes towards Shao Wanru.
"In that case, let's go check it out!" Mrs. Tai became impatient and waved her hand.
"Yes, grandma, I'll go right away!" Shao Jie'er nodded and turned to leave, but was stopped by Shao Wanru, "Second sister, there's no need to go. It's not appropriate for you to go there at such a late hour!"
Shao Jie'er stood still and looked at Shao Wanru, with a sarcastic smile on her lips: "Fifth sister, are you scared? It's okay. I will only ask fifth sister to apologize for a while. I can't let fifth sister kowtow, right?" !”
She thought Shao Wanru was feeling guilty when he stopped her.
Shao Wanru smiled and shook his head: "How could the second sister think that I am afraid? How could I be afraid? She is neither the person I called nor my person. I am just worried about the second sister running around at night." , I’m afraid the second sister is tired, so why not ask a maid to come over and recognize her!”
"The maid went to look for someone, who is going?" Shao Jie'er didn't follow Shao Wanru's thoughts. After being stunned, she asked subconsciously.
"It's good to have Liuxiang next to the second sister. She can go there to find someone, and it will prevent the second sister from running around again. Liuxiang was also with the second sister before, so she must have seen the maid!" Shao Wan Ru glanced at Shao Jie'er and smiled.
"..." Shao Jie'er opened her mouth, and her originally complacent expression immediately turned panicked. Originally, she really wanted to tell Liu Xiang about this, but then something happened suddenly, and both she and Liu Xiang fainted. , was seen when she woke up, and there was no good relationship between Liuxiang and Liuxiang. How could Liuxiang know which maid it was.
Shao Jie'er was secretly complaining, and she fainted before she and Liu Xiang could exchange words.
But an idea flashed in her head, and she hurriedly said: "When the maid in your yard came over, Liuxiang hadn't come back yet, and Liuxiang happened to not see her!"
"When the second sister left, she went out alone and didn't wait for Liu Xiang to come back?" Shao Wanru continued to ask.
Seeing Shao Jie'er being forced to retreat by Shao Wanru, with cold sweat even breaking out on her face, the tea cup in the hands of the lady sitting on top fell heavily, and when she was about to speak, she was interrupted by another clear voice: "Miss Shao Er, when you were at the scene of the fire, you said that the maid of yours also saw it, and that maid also testified for you. Don't you think you can retract your confession now?"
