Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 317

"Go and tell the servant who delivered the invitation outside the door, I accept this invitation, and I will definitely go to the appointment some other day, see you there or leave." Ye Qiongdan accepted the invitation, with a smile on his lips.

The butler nodded and stepped back.

The next day, Chenshi.

The Liu family's carriage stopped at the gate of Xu Mansion, the coachman jumped out of the carriage, went to the steps, and knocked on the gate of Xu Mansion.

After a while, the guard at the door came out from the side room and opened the door.

The coachman hurriedly said: "My little brother, I am a servant of the Liu family. Our family's cousin has arrived. Second Miss, please come out."

"That can't be done." Jia Ding waved his hands and said seriously.

"Why not? Didn't we make an agreement yesterday? I will meet with your second young lady today." The driver was in a hurry.

"It's not that our Second Young Lady refuses to swim in the lake with your Miss Liu's cousin, but because your sincerity is not enough, our Second Young Lady refuses to come out." The servant waved his hands and said.

When the coachman heard this, he was at a loss for what to do. He looked at the carriage helplessly, waiting to be scolded.

When Chu Yingying in the carriage heard this, she immediately grabbed the cushion under her body tightly with both hands, and even the veins on the back of her hands stood out.

The incident of being slapped in the face by Ye Qiongdan again and again a few days ago was vivid in her memory, she was trembling with hatred, wishing to tear that little bitch into dragon beard powder!

She pursed her lips, suppressed her anger, tried her best to look calm, and asked on airs: "I wonder what sincerity your second lady wants?"

"Second Miss said, it's not too difficult for Ms. Chu, after all, Ms. Chu came here to apologize sincerely. If it is too embarrassing for Ms. Chu, it will make people think that she is narrow-minded. Sincerity is just a form. As long as it's done."

"So what kind of sincerity does she want?" Chu Yingying asked impatiently.

Anyway, Ye Qiongdan is going to die soon, so why not bear it for now?Chu Yingying took another deep breath.

"Ten thousand taels of silver." Jia Ding folded his hands and said politely and distantly.

"What? Ten thousand taels of silver?" Chu Yingying's face changed slightly, "Your second lady is not joking, is she?"

"Our second young lady never jokes." Ding Ding said solemnly.

"I, I'm just a cousin in Liu's house, where can I get ten thousand taels of silver?" Chu Yingying asked in panic and displeasure.

"If Ms. Chu can't show the sincerity of ten thousand taels of silver today, then if she wants to invite the second miss to go out to swim in the lake tomorrow, then she will have to come up with five taels of silver."

"Your second lady is a bandit, right? Is this going to be a robbery?" Hearing this, Chu Yingying finally couldn't hold back, and she sneered, "This kind of sincerity can't stop, I'm not afraid to say it out Laughing off other people's big teeth. This is clearly blackmail!"

"Miss Chu, what you said is a little too much, you really don't want to give this ten thousand taels of silver today," the servant spread his hands, "Don't you just want to show this little sincerity to apologize to our second lady? It's not uncommon for our second young lady to swim in the lake with you. After all, you have never had any grudges with our eldest and second young ladies. When you have no grudges recently, you can slander them with empty teeth. What insane thing would you do?"

Jia Ding's words are not presumptuous.

But what he said also represented the meaning of the host, otherwise he would definitely not dare to neglect the guest like this.

What's more, even if Ye Qiongdan didn't express her attitude early, the servants wouldn't have any good feelings for Miss Chu.

The eldest lady and the second lady of the Xu family have always treated the servants kindly. When they were slandered by Chu Yingying, all the servants in the Xu family were very angry.

"Your second lady really said that?" Chu Yingying asked.

"If Miss Chu doesn't have this sincerity, please go home." The servant slightly raised his hand.

"She put forward such an excessive and vulgar condition, isn't she afraid of becoming the laughing stock of Yiling County?" Chu Yingying asked unwillingly, she didn't want to pay for it.

"Oh, Ms. Chu, I forgot to tell you because I was too busy. In fact, the second miss also proposed another condition," Jia Ding slapped his head, "The second miss said that if Miss Chu is not willing to give out 1 taels of silver, Ms. Chu can choose to kneel three times and kowtow nine times from the gate of Xu’s house to the Flower Goddess Temple, and plead guilty to the Flower Goddess, and ask Miss Chu to yell out every time she kneels down: “I know I’m wrong, please forgive me, the Flower Goddess.” !'”

"Is this too much?" Chu Yingying's face turned pale with anger.

"Could it be that Miss Chu did something wrong, isn't it a fact? Since it's a fact and everyone in Yiling County already knows it, why should you care about face?"

The implication is that Chu Yingying's face has long been lost by herself.

How could Chu Yingying fail to understand the hidden meaning of the servant's words, she threw open the curtain, jumped off the carriage, pointed at the servant at the door and scolded: "Bold and unreasonable, I am the cousin of the Liu family! "

"Miss Chu, you also said that you are just the cousin of the Liu family. What's more, the villain is paid by the Xu family. When you offend the second miss of the Xu family, I have to behave in front of you again. Is it a gesture?" Jia Ding hooked his lips, "Miss Chu, don't delay any longer, choose one of the two, please make a choice."

"Is 1 taels too much?" Chu Yingying frowned.

"Not much. Second Miss asked Mrs. Xu. I heard that after Miss Chu's parents passed away, she left a lot of money for Miss Chu."

This damned Ye Qiongdan was thinking about her parents' legacy!Chu Yingying trembled with anger, and pinched her fingers hard into her palm.

"You actually want one-third of my savings in one breath, your second young lady is really open, be careful!"

"Then don't bother Miss Chu." Ding Ding nodded.

Chu Yingying felt sorry for her money, it was her future dowry, how could she give one-third of it so easily to that little bitch Ye Qiongdan?

The thought of losing one-third of her property soon gave her a headache; and the thought of giving the money to Ye Qiongdan, whom she hated the most, made her so angry that her liver started to hurt.

But what can be done now?Circumstances are stronger than people.

1 taels of silver in exchange for her life is worth it!

If I don't kill her today, I'm afraid that the night will have long dreams.

What's more, she refused to let Ye Qiongdan go, she didn't believe that Ye Qiongdan, who had been slandered by her, would let her go.

Between them, one must die.It is better to strike first, and to suffer later!

So, Ye Qiongdan, don't blame me. On the other hand, I am also protecting myself.

Chu Yingying herself has sinister thoughts, so she thinks everyone in the world is as sinister as her.

She sighed heavily, and thought to herself, forget it, it’s okay to lose 1 taels of silver as a dowry. As long as she and her cousin get married, the Liu Mansion will be under her control. Isn't Liu's money inexhaustible?

"Okay, then I'll go to the bank now and show my sincerity to your second lady." Chu Yingying said through gritted teeth.

After Chu Yingying got into the carriage and let the coachman drive the carriage away, the servant closed the door and said to Ye Qiongdan and Xu Mingzhu who were hiding behind the door: "Miss, Miss, did you behave well just now?"

"Very good." The two said in unison.

Xu Mingzhu picked up a few taels of silver from the purse and threw it into the servant's hand: "I was so happy to hear her distraught voice just now! By the way, Qiong Dan, why didn't you ask her for the thirty thousand dollars?" How about two denarii?"

"Mother can only deduce how much silver she has, not sure if she has 3 taels of silver, not to mention if I really ask her for 3 taels of silver, will she still invite me to swim in the lake? It's not a U-turn Just go, and think of other ways to deal with me, then we will lose the opportunity."

"That's right," Xu Mingzhu nodded in admiration, "I think it's too simple, or Qiong Dan is amazing."

"Where is my strength? You can think of this place if you think a little deeper." Ye Qiongdan said with a helpless smile.

"Then let's go back to the room first and wait while drinking tea." Xu Mingzhu said.

Ye Qiongdan nodded.

After half a stick of incense, Chu Yingying got out of the carriage with a gloomy face, walked to the gate of Xu Mansion, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

The servant who had been guarding the side room immediately opened the door, and said to Chu Yingying who was outside, "Miss Chu, have you brought your sincerity?"

"Here I am." Chu Yingying pursed her lips, reluctantly took out ten silver bills worth 1000 taels from her purse, and handed them to the servant.

The servant reached out to pick up the banknote, but found that Chu Yingying unconsciously squeezed the banknote very tightly. He failed to pull out the banknote after several pumps. Finally, he pulled out the banknote with some force It's in my hands.

After Chu Yingying handed over the bank note, her expression was a little dazed. After a while, she calmed down and asked in a cold voice, "Can the second lady of the Xu family come out to see me now?"

"Miss Chu, I accepted the bank note for you first, but since you are here to apologize to Second Miss, how can there be any reason to ask Second Miss to come out to see you? Just follow me into Xu's residence. "

"The second young lady of your family has acted so excessively, and she is not afraid of losing her reputation if it is spread? A woman's reputation is the hardest to earn, but it is extremely easy to lose. What is it that she can win against me? A woman who is smarter than me in this world But there are many, if she continues to be so arrogant and complacent, I don't believe that she can go far in the future!" Chu Yingying narrowed her eyes, which were gloomy.

"Miss Chu doesn't need to worry about that." The servant said with a straight face.

Afterwards, the servant led Chu Yingying into Xu's mansion and outside Ye Qiongdan's room.

Just as Chu Yingying was about to go forward, she saw a maid outside Ye Qiongdan's room saying, "Miss Chu, Second Miss has not woken up yet."

"is it?"

Of course Chu Yingying didn't believe it, but she felt helpless. She had to do her best to win Ye Qiongdan's trust and let her relax her vigilance, so that she could carry out the next plan. It will be even more difficult to win her trust next time.

"Miss Chu, please wait outside the door for a while." The maid said coldly and distantly.

"It's already high in the sun. Sleeping for a long time is not good for your health. I think you might as well go in and wait for the second lady to wake up." Chu Yingying said hastily.

"Second Miss doesn't like being disturbed in her sleep, and the servants dare not go in." The maid replied in a low voice.

"Then how long will we have to wait?" Chu Yingying couldn't help but looked up at the sky.

Today, the scorching sun shines on the ground, there is no cloud in the sky, and the place facing the door is an open space without shade. If you stand for a long time, you won’t suffer from heat stroke, right?
A look of hesitation flashed across Chu Yingying's face.

Forget it, let's wait.

If you are not cruel to yourself, how can you be cruel to the enemy?

Thinking of this, Chu Yingying decided to endure silently.
