Chapter 21 Second Aunt's Sophistry
Things got to this point, the crown prince and King Ji couldn't stay any longer, they got up one after another, and the crown prince said: "Since Lord Hou's family has something to do, the king will come to visit another day."

The King of Ji also said: "Master Hou, Xiao Wang, please leave now."

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Ji, the old minister is ashamed! His family is unlucky, and the distinguished guests from abroad are laughing at him! It is the old minister's sin to neglect the distinguished guests from two foreign countries today, and he will definitely come to the door to make amends on that day!"

At this moment, Zhu Jing just wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in, and his old face was so red that he couldn't hold it anymore.

"It's nothing, our brothers also decided to eat here temporarily today, and it's inevitable to encounter such a thing. I hope Lord Hou will not take it to heart."

The prince clasped his fists and said.

King Ji also said: "Master Hou, let's meet again another day! Farewell!"

"Farewell."

The two walked out while talking.Zhu Jing hastily followed behind.

Besides, when Zhu Zixin returned to Dongli Courtyard, he saw that the furnishings in the house had been completely renewed, and his already good mood suddenly became even better.

Only that Xiaocui kept mumbling all the way: "Miss, you have caused a catastrophe today! If you treat Second Aunt like this, she will definitely come to retaliate against you, think about how to deal with it! Miss... "

"Stop arguing! It's so annoying!"

Zhu Zixin was really annoyed by her noise, and yelled while digging his ears with his little finger.

"..." Xiao Cui was taken aback by her, stopped immediately, and looked at her innocently and surprised.

After looking at it for a long time, he said: "Miss, are you still sick? But the maidservant found a doctor to show you, okay?"

"I'm not sick, I'm fine!"

Zhu Zixin rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

"However, your actions today are not like you in the past at all. This servant thinks that if you continue like this, something serious will happen!"

Xiao Cui said worriedly.

"Then tell me, why am I not like the old me? What was the old me like?"

Zhu Zixin walked to the chair, sat down on his buttocks, put one foot on the chair again, and then raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Miss!"

Xiao Cui's eyes widened in astonishment, and she looked at Zhu Zixin in disbelief, as if she didn't know her.

Seeing her exaggerated expression, Zhu Zixin didn't understand why he frightened her, looked at himself up and down, realized something, put his feet down hastily, and said again, "Is it okay to say now? "

"Oh."

Xiao Cui let out a groan, and unconsciously took two steps back, before she said again: "Miss used to not show her feet, smiled without showing her teeth, spoke slowly, and had a very gentle attitude towards everyone, and, Miss I was very timid before, not to mention talking to Second Concubine like today, even if Second Concubine and Second Miss bully Miss on weekdays, Miss would still swallow her anger, never did what she did today!"

"Today's move?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zixin rolled his eyes a few times and asked.

"Today, miss, you planned to kill Xiaomei, and then went to the master's study to file a complaint, which alarmed the two princes, and came to our Dongli courtyard, which is also a loss to the two princes, otherwise, otherwise, the master will definitely not let it go I'm going to give the lady a hard time! That's all, miss, you actually, you actually embarrassed the second aunt at the dinner... This... I'm afraid things will not end well at this moment! Slaves... Slaves are worried to death now Oh, that second aunt is narrow-minded again, we avoided her back then, and even wanted to murder us, not to mention the embarrassing things Miss today did to her, if she secretly planned revenge on Miss, Miss would not be able to escape no matter what .Now that Madam is gone, and there is no one to protect Miss, what should I do!"

The more Xiaocui talked, the more frightened she became, until she shed two lines of tears.

Hearing this, Zhu Zixin's expression gradually became gentler. It turned out that the little hoof was worried about herself.

In fact, to be honest, she was used to being a loner before, and although she knew in her heart that this girl was very loyal to her, because of lack of experience in getting along with others, she didn't seem to have the habit of communicating with her.

Seeing her so sad now, she couldn't help comforting her: "It's okay, Xiaocui, don't worry, if I dare to do this, I just think about everything, Second Aunt, she doesn't dare to trouble us."

"Really?"

Xiao Cui still couldn't believe it.

"of course it's true!"

Zhu Zixin smiled slightly.

"Miss is very majestic today!"

A deep voice suddenly came from outside the house, without turning around, Zhu Zixin knew it was King Ji Nan Gongxun.

"Perhaps King Ji doesn't think so in his heart?"

Hearing the sarcasm in his tone, Zhu Zixin turned around and said.

She thought, what happened today, in the eyes of others, it is estimated that what she did today is a crime.King Ji probably thought so too.

"Dare to fight against Second Aunt in front of Master Hou, don't tell me you have eaten the guts of a bear?"

As King Ji was talking, he was already approaching, and his tall figure enveloped Zhu Zixin, causing her to feel a sense of pressure.There was a hint of femininity in his tone. Although what he said seemed to be accusing, the listeners could hear an inexplicable ambiguity.

"Whether I eat bear heart or leopard gall, that's my business, King Ji seems to care too much!"

Zhu Zixin took a step back and said bluntly.

After finishing speaking, he added: "Don't forget, these are all private affairs of the Marquis of Jinyang, it seems that it's not up to King Ji to take care of them, right?"

"..."

Her words successfully choked Nan Gongxun, but it was only a moment before he changed his tone and said, "Zixin, today's you have changed so much that I don't even know you anymore!"

"Really? Then His Royal Highness Ji Wang will get to know me again."

Zhu Zixin said without hesitation.

"You...you are my unmarried concubine, so I naturally don't want you to be hurt! Now the second aunt's status in the Hou's mansion cannot be underestimated. I am afraid that if you offend her today, she will hurt you in the future! Then I..."

Under the candlelight, Nan Gongxun's complexion changed slightly, but he still took a soft breath.

Heh... the unmarried princess?
After hearing his words, Zhu Zixin couldn't help but sneered in his heart, his attitude changed suddenly, although Zhu Zixin didn't understand why, but Zhu Zixin naturally knew that if it wasn't for the throne, he would never talk to him like this regardless of his dignity.This man, before he could achieve his goal, would use any means, and his kindness to her now was nothing more than a disguised investment at best.She still remembers the scene she saw when she just crossed over, I'm afraid that the him at that time was his true face.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zixin's eyes darkened.

"Oh? Thank you King Ji for your concern."

Nan Gongxun said so much, but Zhu Zixin just said indifferently.

Looking at her suspiciously, Nan Gongxun said with some reluctance: "Don't be so impulsive in the future, just tell me, and I will handle it for you. Do you know that I will worry if you do this."

"Hmph, worried? I'm afraid you're worried that you won't be able to get help from my uncle and grandfather's power?" Zhu Zixin snorted coldly in his heart.

However, she didn't show it on her face. She raised her head, her tone was not as cold as before, and she said with a little more warmth: "Okay, I get it, I will pay attention to it in the future, it's getting late now, if someone sees you His Royal Highness Ji Wang is still in my room, I'm afraid..."

She didn't say the latter words, but still turned to Xiao Cui and said, "Xiao Cui, see off the guests."

Although she hated this person very much, it was not the time to offend him. Although she was not like Zhu Zixin back then, she could let others bully her, but she couldn't do it alone. In this other world, if she wanted to survive, she also needed to rely on wisdom.This person is still useful!
"Zixin! You have to remember, I will always stand by your side. After I leave, you have to protect yourself."

King Ji's tone was full of concern, which was completely inconsistent with his blunt and cold temperament. Zhu Zixin smiled and said, "Okay."

At this point, there is nothing to say.Nan Gongxun turned and walked out.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Ji."

Behind him, Zhu Zixin leaned slightly and said.

Watching the white figure gradually go away, Xiao Cui came over and said, "Miss, your attitude towards King Ji just now is different from the past!"

"You just say that I have changed!"

Zhu Zixin laughed after hearing Xiaocui's words.

"Slaves...slaves dare not!"

Xiao Cui hurriedly leaned over and said in panic.

"Actually, it's nothing, Xiao Cui, remember, now in this Marquis Mansion, we have nothing to rely on, and we have to rely on ourselves in the future. Therefore, we must learn to protect ourselves. Although my actions today make you feel puzzled, I can be sure Let me tell you, no one, no one will hurt us. Not now, not in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zixin turned around and walked towards his room with an unusually calm expression...

*
"Tell me, why did you sell Zixin's zither? Could it be that the majestic Hou's mansion is still short of your expenses, and does it need you to sell zithers to make ends meet?"

The night was shrouded in darkness, and the lights were just on. In the Hou Mansion and Guihua Garden, Zhu Jing angrily pointed to the second aunt who was kneeling on the ground and asked.

"My lord... I know I'm wrong! I know I'm wrong! My lord, just let me go!"

"Father, mother was also confused for a while, so please forgive mother!"

Seeing this, Zhu Ziqi hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for her mother's mercy.

"Alas! The family is unlucky, the family is unlucky! Today, the prince and King Ji actually saw the ugliness of our Houfu! Where do you want me to put my old face?"

Zhu Jing shook his head and sighed again and again. At this moment, he felt ashamed.

"Father, please forgive mother. Mother also has good intentions, because the madam left the kite for the young lady. Now that the madam has gone, mother sold the kite because she was afraid that the eldest sister would think about others. Father , you are wrong mother!"

At this time, a light blue figure suddenly ran in from outside the door, fell to the ground and said as soon as he entered the door.

As soon as her words fell, Second Aunt and Zhu Zixin both raised their heads in astonishment, and they came to their senses as if they had been enlightened, and said again and again: "Yes, master, the servants also have good intentions."

"That's right, father, mother is also for the good of the eldest sister, so you should spare mother."

"Is what Chan'er said true?"
