Concubine's true colors

Chapter 34 Notorious
A few days later, it was a rare day when the snow stopped, revealing a ray of sunshine, and Xiao Jinxuan's room was warmed by a charcoal basin.

And she was leaning against the soft couch by the window, reading "Zuo Zhuan" with relish.

Changing from the herbal tea to the side, Bai Shu, who brought up the hot tea, tilted her head and said curiously: "Miss, why do I look at you? I read these boring and difficult history books on weekdays. You should read the Book of Songs. The lyrics and music are the best. Only by writing lyrics and composing poems can you show your talent."

Xiao Jinxuan kept her eyes on the scroll, and said with a smile: "Although the poems and songs are beautiful, they are flashy. How can they compare with these historical books? After reading them, people can understand the past and the present, and increase their knowledge."

Since the last plum blossom feast, Xiao Jinxuan fought Ji Lingfeng head-on for the first time.

Now every time she thinks about it, she secretly sighs that she is lucky. If she hadn't been lucky, she might have caught the other party's way.

As for Ji Lingfeng, who was beaten so repeatedly by her, he still retreated completely. After this match, the two of them could only say that they had a tie, and neither of them really got a bargain.

So she could see that it was not enough to have a heart of revenge when she was reborn. After all, she was a woman in a deep house in her previous life. She was no match for Ji Lingfeng through her knowledge and strategy.

So now, she wants to turn this hatred into motivation, just like cotton cloth absorbs water, and she also needs to read countless books to increase her scheming and strategy.

As for poems and songs, it is good to read them briefly. If you learn them carefully, you don't need half a cent to save your life. You really don't need to waste too much energy on this.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Zhu Xin walked in from the outside, jokingly said: "Miss, Wen Xin, Manager Xin said something to do, he must see you in person, now he is so arrogant, it's all because of the miss." .”

Zhuxin is Xiao Jinxuan's new name for Zhuzi, after Lanzhi was kicked out that day.Zhuzi realized something, and said that the original name was given by her parents, but now that her mother is gone, her father is also wanting her, so why not change her name and start over.

So she begged Xiao Jinxuan to rename her.

Xiao Jinxuan recited at that time: "Bamboo grows in the empty field, and clouds soar a hundred times. No one appreciates the high festival, but only cherishes the heart of chastity"

This is a poem that praises bamboo for its integrity and honesty, for not admiring wealth and honor, but for keeping integrity.

She took out the first word and the last word in the poem, and named the bamboo Zhuxin.

It means to hope that she will also be like an upright green bamboo, not forgetting what she said today, and never disappointing her original intention.

As for Wenxin, the day after that day, he came to Xiao's residence to take up a job. It happened that Xiao Jinxuan was short of an errand manager, so he was asked to do it.

With a slight smile, Xiao Jinxuan said: "Tell him to come in. If he can't handle it, he won't come to me either."

Wenxin is very capable in handling affairs, plus he has a lively personality and can speak very well. After he came, he really helped Xiao Jinxuan relieve a lot of burden, and she valued it very much.

After a while, Xiao Wenxin came in. As soon as he got close, he frowned and said: "Jinxuan, your aunt is too troublesome. Mother Li called again and said that she wants to see you. If you don't go, She died immediately on the spot, so I came to ask you whether to go or not."

The two were cousins, and Wenxin always said that others called Xiao Jinxuan Miss, but he insisted on calling each other by their first name, and said that it was more intimate.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't care about this, Bai Shu told him a few times, but he just kept his hippie face, and after a long time, he let Jinxuan, Jinxuan yelled.

Gently closing the book, Xiao Jinxuan said with a slight smile: "She was troubled by her love for her daughter. Now that Xiao Jinlian's accident happened, my Xiao family is already notorious enough. She, the eldest lady, can't have an accident at this time, otherwise the reputation will be destroyed. Not sure how it stinks."

As soon as this was mentioned, Xiao Jinxuan became angry. Ji Lingfeng actually beat her by a notch. Although she sabotaged the opponent's plan that day, the rumors about Xiao Jinlian's loss of virginity and sexual intercourse afterwards were widely known in Yangzhou.

Later, thanks to the snowstorm, things calmed down a lot, and she ordered people to give porridge to the people every day, which suppressed the rumors.

But it's just suppressing, the face of the Xiao family has not been recovered, if she wants to dispel the rumor of Ji Lingfeng, she has to find another way.

Standing up from the couch, Xiao Jinxuan picked up the copper hand stove and said softly: "Let's go, I haven't visited my mother since she was imprisoned. Since she misses me so much, I will go and hear what she wants to be with her." what did I say."

After a cup of tea, Xiao Jinxuan came to Ning's Yacui Courtyard. As soon as she entered, she found that the courtyard was very desolate. There was nothing but snow, and she couldn't even see the girl who passed the door.

She didn't care, and walked directly to the main house where Ning lived, and then came to the door, and before she went in, a burst of cursing and crying came from inside.

"Scumbag, scumbag, my wife beat you to flatter you, get out of here quickly, you still dare to hide!"

Then there was another burst of loud applause, and the sound of persuasion from others.
"Madam, why do you bother to get angry with this girl, Lan Zhi, you go out quickly, don't be an eyesore, do you hear me?"

Xiao Jinxuan, who was standing outside the door, could tell that it was Mama Li's voice.

Then there was a burst of crying: "Lan Zhi knows, I'll go out now."

As soon as the words fell, the door curtain was lifted not long after, and then Lan Zhi ran out crying, covering her red and swollen face.

When she looked up and saw Xiao Jinxuan standing in front of the door, she froze for a moment, then hurriedly lowered her head, and ran away crying.

Seeing this, Zhu Xin couldn't bear it, and just wanted to speak, but Wen Xin spoke first.

"Since Lan Zhi was driven away by Jinxuan, everyone knows that she lied and deceived others. Now, no one in this manor welcomes her. She was accused of being a servant of the eldest lady, and now she is beaten and scolded. She deserves it too, if you know today, why did you do it back then."

After Wen Xin finished speaking, she shook her head at Zhu Xin. How could the latter not know what he meant, so she nodded, suppressed the pain in her heart, and said nothing.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't say a word, she was definitely not hard-hearted, it's just that she didn't have rules, she was too accommodating to others in her previous life, and it hurt herself as a result, she will never make this mistake again.

Bai Shu opened the door curtain, Xiao Jinxuan walked in, and was greeted by a burst of cold air. Ning's house didn't even have a basin of carbon, and the temperature was not much different from the outside.

Ning, who was still cursing like a shrew, rushed to the bed the moment she saw Xiao Jinxuan, took out a pair of scissors from under the pillow, and pressed them against her own neck desperately.

Then she said viciously: "Xiao Jinxuan, hurry up and take my poor Lian'er back. The doctor said that she was just overly frightened, and she will recover after careful treatment, but you damn girl sent her away. If you don't return my daughter to me, I will die in front of you."

Looking at Ning shi coldly, shouting hoarsely, the dignified and magnanimous appearance of the past has long since disappeared, with disheveled hair, disheveled clothes, and a ferocious face, as embarrassing as possible.

Xiao Jinxuan smiled, and said calmly: "Mother is wrong. It is because the family temple is quiet and good for recuperation, so my daughter suggested that my sister-in-law go there to recuperate. Mother thinks it is inappropriate, but father agrees. Is mother now Are you questioning your father's decision?"

When Ning heard this, she became even more excited: "If you, a bitch, were not instigating, the master would not have driven Lian'er away. You should bring Lian'er back immediately, otherwise I will have something good or bad now, and you will just wait to carry Lian'er on your back." The crime of murdering my aunt."

Looking coldly at Ning Shi who was struggling like a trapped animal, Xiao Jinxuan said with a smile: "I forced my aunt to death? Then you ask, who saw it."

Then her icy eyes swept across the faces of the people in the room, and asked coldly: "Mother Li, have you ever seen me come to Yacui Courtyard?"

Mother Li, who was trying to grab Ning's scissors, changed her expression when she heard the words, and immediately said respectfully: "The servants patrol Yacui Courtyard in line, and have never seen Miss Fourth come."

Xiao Jinxuan smiled with satisfaction, and raised her voice and said: "Mother can hear you clearly, your life can't threaten me, you should throw away the scissors quickly, you are the eldest lady, don't even lose this last dignity."

Panting heavily, Ning pointed at Xiao Jinxuan in disbelief, but the right hand holding the scissors finally fell down feebly, and her whole body also fell to the ground.

Originally, Xiao Jinxuan didn't come to see her, but Ning always thought that the other party was guilty and worried about her.

Now it seems that people are not afraid of her, they simply treat her like an ant and ignore her.

Ning, who saw the situation clearly, immediately put on a desolate look, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Jinxuan, I know you blame me, I blamed you in the past, but we are a family after all, Lian'er is your relative after all. Sister, she is sick now, even if you don't want to take her back, it would be good to ask a doctor to show her, not to mention that although I have hurt you, you are still fine now, why are you so fussy? Look at it, you really want to do things so ruthlessly."

When Xiao Jinxuan heard the words, she covered her lips and smiled, her eyes were actually mocking, and she looked at Ning Shi coldly.

How is she now?Could it be that the other party didn't make things difficult for her, she still has to be grateful, God is indeed watching, if it weren't for God's eyes, how could she be reborn.

With a wave of her hand, Xiao Jinxuan said, "You all go out, my mother and I have something to say."

Everyone bowed and retreated after hearing the words, only Wenxin took two steps, but turned back and said, "Jinxuan, I don't worry about you being here by yourself, let me stay."

Xiao Jinxuan glanced at Wen Xin, looking at the worry in the other's eyes, it was so sincere, her heart suddenly warmed up, and she nodded in agreement.

Between people, it is indeed very strange. Even if some people just meet each other for the first time, they will feel that their hearts are connected and they want to get close.
And some people, even if they only have a quick glance, they will feel disliked in their hearts, and they are even less willing to make friends.

This probably refers to fate, but for Wenxin, Xiao Jinxuan inexplicably felt very trustworthy and steadfast from the first moment she saw her.

So, even though the conversation with Ning Shi should not be overheard, she didn't care about Wen Xin's presence.

For her cautious character, this trust is really rare.
