Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 12 Begonia Spring Banquet
The most unacceptable thing for Chu Xi was the fact that she was a peasant girl. How could she not be annoyed now that Chu Zhi exposed her?
But no matter what, Chu Xi forced a smile and replied: "My sister was joking, how could I blame you? The third aunt is right, my sister has suffered so much for me, I owe my sister, I am sorry for her, If it wasn't for me... my sister wouldn't have come home until now."

Lin sneered.

Don't look at Chu Xi who is more delicate and arrogant than anyone else, with her eyes above her head, if she has a guilty conscience or asks for others, she will become humble as she is now, and she will make progress by retreating, but she will be too tight to compromise.

It is more scheming than Wu's.

Sure enough, the old lady said: "It wasn't your fault that you were wronged at the beginning, but it's good if you think so. In the future, you have to take good care of your sister. She just returned home and there are many things she doesn't understand. You have to give it to me." Tell your sister."

Chu Xi's face froze slightly, and she paused before she nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, grandma, my granddaughter will understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, the court suddenly called Chu Zhang urgently, and left in a hurry.

As soon as he left, the people in the hall also dispersed, leaving only a few female relatives.

But Mrs. Wu was severely slapped in the face by Mrs. Lin, and recognized Chu Zhi as her daughter again, feeling extremely aggrieved.

It was the limit to hold on at this moment, so I took Chu Xi back to the yard directly.

As soon as I got back to my room, I smashed a good tea set in the room.

"Mrs. Lin, what does she mean by that? She stuffed Chu Zhi with so many things in front of me. Who is it to be embarrassed? Fortunately, she has the nerve to say that just because of her smell of copper all over her body, I feel disgusted even if I look at her more than once." That's all, she accuses me of mistreating Chu Zhi in front of the whole family, what kind of thing is she? How dare she say that about me?"

"Mother, don't be angry." Chu Xi tugged on Wu Shi's sleeve, "She is that kind of person, if it wasn't for her good-looking face, the third uncle would love her deeply, and she would be so protected by the third uncle." Don't reveal it, otherwise, who in the family will take a fancy to her? If the mother is angry with this kind of person, the daughter will feel distressed."

If an ordinary girl talked about her elders like this, she would definitely be talked about, but Wu shi not only didn't think there was anything wrong with her daughter doing this, but felt that Chu Xi really cared for her.

Looking at her soft and lovely daughter, Wu's anger suddenly dissipated.

"It's still my Jiaojiao who loves my mother. You're right, it's not worth it for someone like her!"

Lin's shallow eyelids and mouth full of yellow and white things are simply unbearably vulgar.

I really don't know why the third brother has his eyes on her!

Every time she was with Lin Shi, she felt that she was losing value and losing her dignity.

At this time, Mrs. Lin, who was secretly scolded by Mrs. Wu for being vulgar, was humming a song and walking back with her waist twisted.

Chu Lin on the side couldn't help asking, "So happy?"

"Of course!" Lin said happily, "Did you see the expression on the second sister-in-law just now? Her face turned green!"

Chu Lin shook his head helplessly: "You really are, why are you angry with the second sister-in-law? She is that kind of person."

"I'm happy!" Lin's almond-shaped eyes were raised, and she squinted at Chu Lin, "It's not that you don't know how their mothers scold me, I know that my father is a merchant, and I can't get into the eyes of you officials. Low, I can marry your family as a daughter-in-law is the blessing of our Lin family for eight lifetimes, and my ancestors are smoked! The Wu family insists that he is from a scholarly family, but he always looks down on me because of his status. If it is really just because of his status, then Forget it, I, Lin Xiaoxiao, don't know how to put a hot face on other people's cold ass, she doesn't like me, so I can't avoid it?"

"But the key is that your family, big and small, inside and out, don't you spend my family's money? Don't say anything else, I pay for the expenses of the second brother in the officialdom, right? Our family spends money every time Treating dignitaries and giving gifts to others are all made up by me, right? And the four screens of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum just added in the second sister-in-law’s room, did they cost me money? Including the pair of butterflies that Chu Xi is wearing today The gem-studded hair is also a gift from our shop, right? Not to mention the silk and satin she used to wear... Wait! Tell me, which one is not from our Lin family?"

The more Lin talked, the more angry she became: "But what happened? We spent our money and said we couldn't make it to the stage, especially the second sister-in-law. Whenever the second brother needed to take care of the officialdom, she began to cry and ask her mother what to do. Instead of looking for you, you came to me again. Okay, then I will pay the money. Anyway, our family has nothing else, so we only have money left. What happened? The money was done, but he said, "The eyes are full of yellow and white. It’s too vulgar! Since you look down on me so much and have such ambition, don’t use my money! I’ll give you my money, but I won’t let you say hello, and I’ll be scolded by you. I’m full. of?"

"My wife, don't be angry. My husband knows that you are wronged. It's not my husband's fault. I asked my wife to swallow my anger for me. I hope my wife will forgive me!" Chu Lin hurriedly cupped his hands, begging for mercy with a smile, "It hurts you so much, my lady is so beautiful. She's as beautiful as a flower, who wouldn't say that she's only [-] years old when she goes out? If she gets angry, she won't be beautiful."

As he spoke, he leaned closer to Mrs. Lin and whispered, "Could it be that the lady wants to be as old-fashioned as the second sister-in-law?"

"Bah! Don't think that just a few nice words will go away!" Mrs. Lin glared at him angrily, but the upturned corner of her mouth was obviously amused by Chu Lin.

"It doesn't sound good, it's clearly the truth." He pointed to the crabapple in the yard and said to Mrs. Lin, "Miss, do you think this flower is beautiful?"

"The crabapple flowers of the Chu family were praised by the Holy One himself, so it's not beautiful."

Chu Lin clung to Lin's jade hand, and said affectionately: "But in my opinion, it is far inferior to my lady. Your face is like peach blossoms, your eyes are like stars, graceful and charming."

Lin's face was reddened by Chu Lin, she was ashamed and annoyed, and glared at him angrily: "If you talk like that again, I will really ignore you."

Seeing that Mrs. Lin was losing her temper, Chu Lin quickly changed the subject: "Why do you speak for the fifth girl? Is it just to scare off the second sister-in-law?"

"Not all of them." Lin said, "This child fits my eyes."

"This..." Chu Lin was speechless.

He knew that the lady liked something different, but Chu Zhi was thin and dark, so he really didn't know what the lady thought of her.

But Lin said, "You don't understand!"

If Lin didn't say anything, Chu Lin didn't ask any more questions.

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the day of the Begonia Spring Banquet.

Because the Begonia Spring Banquet was held in the Biezhuang, on this day, at just Mao, the Chu Mansion was crowded with people and the lights were bright, and all the family members in the mansion moved to the Biezhuang.

When we arrived at Zhuangzi, after packing up, it was already time.

The old lady looked at Chu Zhi's attire, and was very satisfied: "It's extravagant and not overpowering, very good."

Today's guests are all first-class nobles, being too overbearing is not only impolite but also easy to cause disasters, like Chu Zhi is very good.
