Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly coughed twice at the young lady of Ji Mansion and kept making gestures with his eyes.
Their master, Ji Yongwang, has just arrived in the capital. Although he has the thigh of the Minister of Punishment, he still has to make other connections!
In the capital, it is not the Minister of Punishment who has the final say.
It would be great if we could also establish a relationship with the Yushi family.
Seeing that Sheng Tingchun was about to quarrel with Gu Nuo'er, the lady from Ji's mansion hurriedly got down from the stool and took the initiative to smile at Gu Nuo'er.
"Is your name Zhang Xiaoman? You look a little younger than me. My bestie has the same name as Zi, so you just call me Sister Xiaozi. It doesn't matter if you are sick, let's just sit and play together and talk."
After saying that, Ji Zi turned to comfort Sheng Tingchun. She pressed her hand and whispered: "Sister Tingchun, give my father some face and deal with her later when you find an opportunity.
Look at how ignorant she is, how easy is it to make her look embarrassed? There’s no point in getting angry with her in public.”
Sheng Tingchun nodded when he heard the words, not forgetting to give Gu Nuoer a rollicking look.
They thought Gu Nuoer didn't hear the whisper, but little did they know that the little guy had very good ears.
She didn't get angry with these two people, she just stepped up her little feet and sat on the stone stool opposite them openly.
The ladies on the left and right were afraid of the red rash on Gu Nuoer's body, so they all backed away some distance.
Gu Nuoer was so happy that she stretched out her little hand to grab a pastry on the table, put it in the hood and ate it.
Sheng Tingchun and Ji Zi looked at each other with ridicule in each other's eyes.
This Miss Zhang must be an idiot who has never seen much of the world!
Sheng Tingchun whispered to Ji Zi: "I know this Zhang Xiaoman is very timid. Go and call up the things we usually play with. I'm sure she will be scared to cry for father and mother on the spot!"
Ji Zi's expression hesitated for a moment: "That's not good, my father would be unhappy if he knew about it."
"Why not? We are all here today, why are we talking nonsense? Besides, even if someone does spread rumors, my father will help you solve it."
Ji Zi still refused, but Sheng Tingchun kept a straight face.
He reprimanded her in a bad tone: "Ji Zi, if you don't listen to me, I won't call you the next time I go out to play with others."
Ji Zi is most afraid of being ostracized by upper-class ladies. If Sheng Tingchun doesn't play with her, she will have no friends!
So, Ji Zi quickly called the maid: "Go and bring Xiaoyi, Xiaoer and Xiaosan up."
When Sheng Tingchun saw this, he smiled a little.
She raised her eyebrows in Gu Nuo'er's direction, with a calculating smile: "Miss Zhang, it's boring for us to just sit around, why not play a game together."
Gu Nuoer's cheeks were bulging from eating, and they only listened to their whispers just now.
This time when I heard the game, my eyes lit up: "Okay, what game is it?"
"You'll know it in a moment. It's guaranteed to be something you've never played before. It's a novelty."
After a while, Ji's maid brought up three scarred and thinly dressed girls.
Their feet were hung with iron chains and their clothes were ragged. Wherever their skin could be seen, it was easy to see bruises all over it.
Everyone's eyes showed timidity, fear and shrinking.
Gu Nuoer frowned, an unhappy look appeared on her face, and the cakes in her hands were all tasteless!
These three girls, it was obvious at first glance that they had been severely beaten.
Their appearance also attracted the attention of many guests, but everyone seemed not to be surprised.
