074: Sorry, I didn't mean to offend
Chang Xi thought it was finally here.
He turned around and looked at the plate of stir-fried lotus root slices on the right. This was placed here intentionally. Moreover, Aunt Zhong didn’t know which corner she had shrunk to at this moment, so this was a joint effort between the Qin family and Aunt Zhong.
, giving her a chance to get close to Xie Jin.
Xie Jin didn't say a word, obviously not wanting to help her.
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Finally, under Qin's concerned gaze, she smiled obediently, stood up generously, and put a piece of fried lotus root slices on the plate in front of Xie Jin, "Master Xie Jiu, please be patient.
use."
It's best to eat you to death.
She looked at Xie Jin with a sly smile, and there seemed to be hidden murderous intent in her eyes as she stared at him.
Xie Jin suddenly felt his stomach twitching. He felt that if he ate this stir-fried lotus root slices, he would definitely suffer from indigestion.
"Why don't you, Lord Xie Jiu, eat it? Or is the piece I brought you not to your liking?" Chang Xi urged while giving him another piece and putting it on the plate.
"Brother Jin?"
Mrs. Qin was very satisfied with Chang Xi's obedient behavior, but her son seemed to be trying to cause trouble by not cooperating. She hurriedly asked with concern, but in fact she was urging him not to betray the beauty's kindness.
"Mom, I'm fine." Xie Jin was afraid that Mrs. Qin would be worried, so he said quickly, and then looked directly at Chang Xi, with the same look that would kill someone without repaying his life, "Thank you."
"Easy to say." Chang Xi smiled and moved the plate in the direction of Xie Jin.
It was just a little trick, Xie Jin raised his eyebrows, picked up a piece of fried lotus root slices and ate it elegantly.
Chang Xi saw that he really ate, and immediately curled his lips secretly, thinking that he would persist to the end, which was really disappointing.
When Xie Jin looked up at her after eating, she smiled and put two more pieces on the plate in front of him.
Then one eats and the other holds, and soon the bottom of the plate of stir-fried lotus root slices is almost gone.
Mrs. Qin looked at it with a smile at first, but the more she looked at it, the more she felt something was wrong. The relationship between the two people was not sweet at all, but they were fighting secretly. It seemed that no one was willing to stop in advance and completely admit defeat.
This situation made her immediately frightened. If the two of them continued to fight like cross-eyes, her eldest grandson would definitely be gone.
"Okay, okay, brother Jin has eaten too much and can't digest it anymore."
Only then did Chang Xi pretend to say "Ah", and then quickly bowed her head to Mrs. Qin to admit her mistake, "Madam, I...did I do something wrong with good intentions? You said Master Xie Jiu likes this dish, and I
I saw him eating happily, so I kept holding on to him," she paused for a while, brewing a cry, and choked with sobs, "Madam, it's all my fault. If Mr. Jie Jiu has accumulated food, it's my fault..."
The overall attitude of admitting mistakes is very good and very positive.
Xie Jin watched with cold eyes and only had three words to express his opinion: hypocritical. This woman is very good at deceiving people. If he hadn't seen through her true nature, he would have been deceived by her.
Sure enough, Mrs. Qin was a little annoyed at first, but after Chang Xi took the initiative to admit her mistake, her anger subsided. Chang Xi cannot be blamed for this, she just followed her orders.
After thinking about it, her attitude became gentle again, and she hurriedly pulled Chang Xi over and said, "Don't be nervous. I didn't mean to blame you. It's all my fault that I didn't make it clear when I gave the instructions, so you misunderstood."
Chang Xi sniffed and pushed back her tears. Fortunately, she said, "It would be great if Madam didn't blame me, otherwise I would have trouble sleeping and eating."
fraud.
Xie Jin immediately thought of these two words in his mind. If she could not sleep or eat well, the sun would rise in the west.
He always had the illusion that if these illusions were peeled away, the real Chang would be revealed.
But peeling away the layers of illusion is easier said than done.
Just like Mr. Qin, isn’t he being deceived by her now?
As for exposing her illusion in public, he rejected this approach without thinking. Everyone has a shell to protect themselves. Perhaps, this is Chang's shell to protect himself. He can't make her stand down in public.
Taking a step back, maybe he is not able to remove this shell. Chang has a sharp mouth. He dares to say
One sentence, and she would immediately reject it ten times. In short, this woman has thousands of hidden agendas in doing things.
"Just ask Aunt Zhong to tell the cook to make a bowl of digestion soup." Ms. Qin smiled and comforted Chang Xi, who seemed to be looking uneasy.
"That's very good." Chang Xi smiled at the right time.
This smile seemed to clear away the gloom instantly.
Mrs. Qin looked a little stunned. Xie Jin beside him suddenly coughed slightly and turned his head to look away.
When Mrs. Qin heard the noise, she looked in the direction of her son. When she saw Xie Jin's somewhat red ears, her eyes suddenly lit up. Did her son have feelings for Mr. Chang?
This time, she was full of fighting spirit again, and she would try her best next time.
Aunt Zhong suddenly brought the digestion soup, "I just went to the kitchen and asked the cook to cook it. I saw that the masters had eaten a bit too much today, so I took it upon myself to make it. Please don't blame me, madam."
"You still know my heart." Mrs. Qin said with a smile.
The two exchanged glances secretly, and then laughed as if nothing happened.
Chang Xi also laughed, yes, the digestion soup was served at just the right time, it’s hard for Aunt Zhong to hit the time so accurately.
She was so jealous of this kind of gold-medal assistant that she really wanted to poach him and keep him for herself.
The meal was finished in a hurry, and Mrs. Qin left Xie Jin and Chang Xi to accompany her in the name of taking a walk. Anyway, Mr. Xie Si lived in Datong Academy during this period, and he never came back during this period.
No one knew that Qin was ill.
Ms. Qin also got angry with her husband and refused to let anyone inform her husband.
This kind of subtle emotional change between husband and wife is difficult for ordinary people to detect. Chang Xi had seen too many resentful women in her previous life, so she could see the resentment towards her husband in Qin's eyes at a glance.
That's right, there is no woman who doesn't long for her husband's care, and Mrs. Qin cannot be that exception.
It wasn't until the Qin family was ready to rest that they let Chang Xi and Xie Jin leave.
The two of them walked slowly through Jie Mansion in the night, followed by servants holding lanterns.
"Master Xie Jiu, how is your stomach?" Chang Xi asked with a smile in the hazy night.
Xie Jin's complexion darkened. Did she deliberately not open which pot?
Seeing that he ignored him, she didn't take it seriously. She just continued to look at him with her hands behind her back and said, "Do you want to end our situation as soon as possible..." She pointed at him with her heart and then at herself, "Well, it's embarrassing.
relationship?"
Xie Jin frowned and finally said, "What do you want to do?"
Seeing him asking questions, she must still be willing to cooperate, so she quickly expressed her thoughts, "Please Mr. Xie Si go back to visit Madam. I think Madam misses Mr. Jie Si, but she
I just didn’t say it out loud.” After a pause, he said, “In this way, Madam’s condition will get better as soon as possible.”
Xie Jin suddenly stopped, looked at her and said, "Then are you also thinking about your husband-in-law?"
Chang Xi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him, what the hell was he talking about?
Does she want to marry Dalang?
Ha, what kind of joke is this? What does she want from him?
Oh, unless you want him to die.
Seeing that Xie Jin seemed to be waiting for her answer, she said coldly, "Do you want someone who sells you as an object?"
These words went straight to the core of the problem. Xie Jin originally just asked out of curiosity, but now he discovered a very important fact. This woman was very concerned about being sold for sale from the beginning to the end.
She did not pessimistically accept the destiny, but resisted quietly, just because she cared about being reduced to an object.
He seemed to poke at her heartache.
For the first time, he apologized to her, "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend."
Will Chang Xi be the kind of person who just says it doesn't matter?
Definitely not. She was stingy and vindictive, so she polished her neat row of teeth and said, "It's too late, I've already remembered it."
After this small episode, many years later, on the same night, Xie Jin would be whipped up by Chang Xi. It seemed that this episode would never get over, which would trouble him in the future.
Of course, he didn't know what would happen in the future at this moment. Xie Jin just thought that Chang Xi remembered what he said and thought it was due to the woman's petty temperament. When the anger subsided, the matter would be over and he didn't take it to heart...
Chang Xi doesn't want to talk to Xie Jin anymore. Talking to him will make people mad.
Xie Jin still sent her back to the small courtyard where she lived.
Chang Xi went straight into the small courtyard without even saying goodbye politely. It was obvious that he had offended her thoroughly tonight.
He stood at the door of the yard and stared for a long time. It was not until she heard her voice instructing the maid to prepare water for bathing in the house that he turned and left.
Grandma Luo, who had been looking forward to Xie Jin staying overnight in the small courtyard, couldn't help but sigh when she saw Xie Jin leaving. It was another disappointing day.
Chang Xi was soaking in the bathtub and felt a little better. She was half-true and half-false about Xie Jin offending her. She was just using this excuse to distance herself from him. In this way, she had a reason not to
Pay attention to him.
Leaning on the edge of the bucket, she closed her eyes and began to think about her plan.
The next day, when she went to Qin's courtyard again, she didn't see Xie Jin appearing again. This made her secretly relieved, because she was really afraid of Qin's misunderstanding.
I just didn't understand that Jin, a nuisance, had another uninvited guest.
Mrs. Qin still looked sick and sick. After receiving invitations from the Bai family and the Fang family at the same time, she managed to cheer up.
"It's interesting to see them all together."
"Madam, do you want to separate them and meet them one by one?"
Aunt Zhong made the suggestion because she was afraid that the two families would fight when they faced each other.
Ms. Qin stood up and was about to change into her guest's clothes, put down the posts from the two families, and suddenly turned to Chang Xi and asked, "What do you think?"
Chang Xi didn't expect Qin to ask her, but she never thought about hiding her clumsiness, so she said, "If it were me, then the two families would meet together."
Aunt Zhong feels her tooth hurts a little. What is Chang making nonsense of? Isn't this causing trouble?
