Because Chu Xiu had already gone out, Ji Xiaoman simply sent Shi Chunfen back to the courtyard in person. The two sat down in Shi Chunfen's room, and Li Yan brought them ointment to reduce swelling and blood stasis.
"Hurry up and see how the impact on your arm is. Is it serious?" Ji Xiaoman pulled open Shichun Equinox's sleeves, with concern written all over his face.
Shi Chunfen allowed her to apply the medicine on him, and when the pain dissipated a little, he raised his eyes and looked at her, "Does he usually strike so lightly?"
Ji Xiaoman was startled. It was clear that Chu Xiu'ai had not spread the word, so how could Shi Chunquin know about it?
Seeing her confused face, Shi Chunfen said frankly: "Wang Jixue once cried to me before, so I know a little bit..."
"That's it." Ji Xiaoman nodded slightly, but secretly clenched his fists.
It turns out that Shi Chunfen had long known that Chu Xiu had the habit of doing things, but she allowed her to marry such a bastard. What kind of good sisters are they?!
Seeing that she looked wrong, Shi Chunfen continued to explain: "I have also thought about telling you in advance, but except for Wang Jixue, I have not seen any other women around Chu Xiu showing signs of being beaten. I thought it was just an exception.
, that’s why I didn’t talk too much.”
Ji Xiaoman laughed and put on a magnanimous look, "Do you think I will blame you? How could I be so stingy?"
"That's good." Shi Chunfen breathed a sigh of relief, "I was lucky enough to get you into a pit of fire. In fact, I regretted it afterwards. I don't know whether it was right or wrong."
"How can I blame you?" Ji Xiaoman comforted: "I was the one who insisted on marrying Chu Xiu at the beginning. Everything I am suffering now is just my own fault. You don't need to blame it on yourself."
"You can't say that." Shi Chunquin sighed softly: "I often wonder, if I told you this at the beginning, would you still marry Axiu?"
Ji Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, an answer flashed in his mind, and the smile on his lips turned bitter, "Of course I will."
Since she can, what qualifications does she have to blame the spring equinox?
Shi Chunfen didn't notice the strange look in her eyes, and continued: "You haven't answered my question just now. Is he usually so gentle with you?"
When Ji Xiaoman mentioned this, he couldn't stop laughing. "Actually, he has restrained himself a lot recently, but he was really very heavy-handed during the time when the marriage was just consummated."
It’s not that it’s not light or heavy, it’s that it’s very heavy.
Shi Chunfen knew better, and his apology deepened, "I'm sorry, Xiaoman, it was me who hurt you."
"Don't say that." Ji Xiaoman said gently: "I chose the path myself, how can I blame you? Besides, I am the one who didn't have the ability to surrender to the Second Master. I can't blame others."
"Surrender?" Seeing her use these two words, Shi Chunfen felt a little emotional, "How can a husband and wife become like enemies?"
"It's not like we can call them enemies." Ji Xiaoman sighed softly: "It's just that there are always goings-on between men and women. No matter what kind of person the other person is, the one who is loved is always confident."
"Have nothing to fear?" Shi Chunfen chewed these four words carefully, and couldn't help but think of Chu Ling's attitude towards her, and suddenly smiled bitterly.
Isn't that so?
If he wasn't confident, how could he dare to shoot that arrow without hesitation?
It's one thing to be rational in your mind, but it's another thing to be completely indifferent.
Seeing the emotion on her face, Ji Xiaoman couldn't help but ask: "Between you and the uncle...who is the more confident one?"
When Shi Chunfen came back to his senses, before he could answer, he heard Li Yan's voice reporting from outside the house, "Grandma, the uncle is back and will be in the yard soon."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoman immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first. You have to pay good attention to your wounds and remember not to eat spicy food."
Shi Chunfen nodded slightly, stood up and sent her out of the yard.
Not long after Ji Xiaoman left, Chu Ling came back. Shi Chunfen was injured at the gate, so Chu Ling knew the news as soon as he got home. As soon as he entered the door, he picked up her sleeves and asked, "How is the injury?"
Come on, show me?!"
Seeing his nervous look, Shi Chunfen's expression was slightly dazed. In fact, many times she felt that Chu Ling loved her, but how much this love was... she didn't have any confidence to guess.
Chu Ling checked Chu Xiu's wound again and made sure it was nothing serious. His expression softened, but his anger was still not gone. "What's going on with Chu Xiu? Does he know that you are his sister-in-law? How dare he attack you?"
?!"
Seeing that he was so angry, Shi Chunfen quickly retracted his hand and said calmly: "Isn't this strange? Isn't it that he has always looked down upon you, my elder brother?"
Chu Ling didn't expect her to say that, and his expression suddenly became complicated, "Are you blaming me?"
Shi Chunfen raised her eyes and looked at him, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you know why he hates you so much?"
When she suddenly asked about this, Chu Ling's eyes flashed and he avoided saying, "He hasn't liked me very much since he was a child. There's nothing surprising about that."
"Really?" Shi Chunquin stared at him closely, insisting on getting to the bottom of things for the first time, "But as far as I know, he always admired you as his elder brother when he was a child, and he has always been a cheerful person."
Chu Ling noticed something in her words, quickly raised his eyes and asked, "What did he say to you? Why are you so weird today?"
Shi Chunfen was too lazy to avoid it anymore and said directly: "He said you once sent someone to kill him, so that's why he became what he is now."
"What?!" Chu Ling stood up suddenly, his face a little ugly, "He really said that?"
Shi Chunfen had been observing his expression, and seeing that he didn't look guilty, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, it was the time when he didn't go home for the New Year. He encountered an accident on the way home and almost died. He
He said that he had been investigating for a long time and was sure that you were the one who harmed him."
"I see." Chu Ling's brows furrowed and he looked at Shi Chunquin, "What about you? Do you feel the same way?"
Shi Chunfen shook his head, "With your ability, you would have killed him long ago. How could you let him live until now?"
Not only did it keep him alive, it also gave him the opportunity to target him. With Chu Ling's ability, he would never let such a thing happen.
Seeing that she still believed in him, Chu Ling's expression softened slightly, but he was still not happy, "I have thought about countless possibilities in my mind as to why he became like this, but I never thought that he would be like this.
He suspects that I, the eldest brother, want to kill him! In his eyes, what a terrible person I must be for him to think of me like this?"
