She showed her gratitude to Yu Xijiao and Xu Jiayi. If the previous influence hadn't been too profound, Yu Xijiao almost thought that this Miss Zhang was really good. Is what she did on impulse called a thing? It's nothing.
, it’s really nothing.
The flow of passengers outside Xiyi Zhai had been evacuated, and Zhang Wanying did not attract any onlookers when she left.
"Miss Xu, what happened to your embroidery?" After dealing with Zhang Wanying's matter, the next step is Xu Jiayi's matter.
The embroidery that caused trouble has been brought over and is now placed on the table. At a glance, it is indeed a fine product.
"This...actually it's nothing. I was wrong. It was just a misunderstanding." After what happened just now, Xu Jiayi became coy.
"Misunderstanding?" Yu Xijiao was puzzled.
"It's just... I made a mistake before, thinking that what you gave me here was bad and defective, so I came over to ask angrily. Unexpectedly... it turned out to be a misunderstanding."
Xu Jiayi said sheepishly.
"How did you find out it was a misunderstanding?" Yu Xijiao was curious.
"There's a slight flaw here." Xu Jiayi couldn't explain clearly, so she took the embroidery on the table, opened it, pointed to one spot and said, "It's right here...look."
Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and looked over, and sure enough she saw the hooked thread there. If she looked carefully, the hooked thread was relatively large. A flower that was originally good had been hooked and lost its original appearance.
Yu Xijiao picked up the embroidery, looked at it carefully and said, "It looks like it was hooked maliciously. If it was accidentally hooked, it would be impossible to hook it like this. This hook... is really too much."
"
It is absolutely impossible to accidentally hook the flower like this. Even if the flower is in the corner, when you see it, you can still clearly spot it.
That is to say, just now Zhang Wanying was amazed by the double-sided embroidery, and then she started arguing and didn't notice it.
"I know." Xu Jiayi lowered her head, her whole body was sad, and her eyes were red, "I...it doesn't matter if my aunt doesn't like me, but now she doesn't even like the embroidery I gave her. People around my aunt
... He also said that I sent these things to my aunt because I was treating my aunt poorly."
The so-called aunt is Xu Shufei?
"What on earth...is going on?" Yu Xijiao didn't understand why this matter got involved.
"I have taken a fancy to the embroidery. I bought it a few days ago. It looks very good. I heard from my aunt before that she said there were not many embroideries in the palace, and she also mentioned double-sided embroidery, so I sent this embroidery to my aunt.
Today, I went to see my aunt again. After chatting with my aunt for a while, I left. The maid next to my aunt came over and returned this embroidery to me..."
Xu Jiayi's head drooped, her eyes were red with grievance.
The maid next to my aunt said something very unpleasant, implying that if she couldn't afford it, she shouldn't give it to her. She also said that the palace was full of good things, so she was told to come to the palace as soon as she had nothing to do. She didn't even check whether Concubine Shu was busy or not.
He nodded to persuade...and then pointed the embroidery at this spot and threw it to her.
Even if Xu Jiayi was slow to react, she knew she was being disliked, and they were just two palace maids, but she didn't dare to have an attack.
Her mother repeatedly told her to serve Concubine Shu carefully when entering the palace and not to make Concubine Shu angry. She also said that her aunt would help her find a good marriage.
The two maids' words reduced Xu Jiayi to dust.
Xu Jiayi left the palace in tears. Sitting on the carriage, she suddenly thought that the embroidery came from Xiyi Zhai, and she felt sad and aggrieved.
She pointed at the clerk and asked for a return, saying that the product was not the right version, and that they were deceitful. Later, the clerk told her that it was malicious and had been crossed with silk threads.
The one I bought cannot have such a large hook.
This was clearly done by several palace maids, but they were blamed on themselves.
Just before she was angry and annoyed, Zhang Wanying bumped into her, and there was a big fuss after that. Now she calmed down, Xu Jiayi didn't understand anything. She said that she brought bad embroidery to her aunt, and it was clearly scratched by someone.
When the blame was placed on himself, he took the blame for others again.
"Miss Xu, can't you explain this to Concubine Shu?" Yu Xijiao asked softly when she saw that she was crying sadly.
"No, my aunt won't believe me." Xu Jiayi choked with tears, "When this kind of thing happened in the past, my aunt would sometimes just laugh it off and ask me to be generous, but she wouldn't believe what I said."
"Do you trust the people around you more?" Yu Xijiao understood.
"It's not just the people around me, anyway, what others say is more useful than me. I... originally didn't want to go to the palace all the time. It was my mother who asked me to go to the palace more often. She said that I didn't have a marriage yet, and as long as my aunt came forward, I could secure a marriage.
If it's a good marriage, I... I'll go to the palace a few more times."
The more Xu Jiayi thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. She really didn't want to see her aunt. She always felt that even when her aunt smiled at her, she didn't like her. This had been the case since childhood. Her aunt didn't like her, maybe because she thought she was stupid.
Anyway, Xu Jiayi's aunt didn't feel any love at all.
"It's all because of what happened before, that is... the matter at the Xuanping Hou Mansion. My mother felt that if I... didn't get married, something might happen to me, so she was... very anxious." Xu Jiayi said.
He recounted all his grievances in one go.
The maid next to her was so anxious that she secretly stomped her feet. This girl is really telling people everything. This Miss Yu San was not familiar with her at first.
"Shu Fei, do you believe in others more than you?" Yu Xijiao blinked, feeling a little strange.
Although Xu Jiayi is not very smart, she is not really stupid. She seems to have a good character. Why is Empress Shu so disgusted with her niece.
Xu Jiayi didn't talk much, but Yu Xijiao's taste was a bit weird. She heard that Xu Shufei was smart and she was said to manage her subordinates well. The mother of King Yong was a little weak, and she didn't have anything that could be criticized.
As the empress of a palace in a certain place, I heard that the people under her control are also very good.
Hearing what Xu Jiayi said, she seemed confused.
However, rumors are never necessarily credible, but Xu Jiayi seems more believable, that is, Xu Shufei did it on purpose, or she just allowed people around her to ridicule and hint at her niece.
It’s a given that you don’t like it, but you don’t have to go to this step if you don’t like it, which is really surprising.
Watching the Queen versus the Yu sisters, and then watching Concubine Xu Shu versus Xu Jiayi, it is really suspicious.
"Miss Xu, does your family... have a crush on His Highness King Yong?" Yu Xijiao asked in a slightly lower voice.
"Yes, how did you know?" Xu Jiayi was stunned for a moment and then got busy.
The maid wanted to step forward but it was too late to stop her, and she was so anxious that her face turned red.
"Don't worry, Miss Xu, I won't say more about this matter." Yu Xijiao looked at the maid behind Xu Jiayi and said warmly.
"Miss Yu San, I actually feel bad. My cousin has always looked down on me, but my mother said...it's impossible!" Xu Jiayi said nonchalantly.
Isn't it possible?
This means that she really has thoughts about King Yong, and giving Xu Jiayi an identity beside King Yong is not enough. After all, where her identity is placed, she must have a concubine position.
"Mother means mother. In fact, I have already told my aunt that as long as I choose someone who is honest and reliable, I don't care about the others." Xu Jiayi felt that Yu Xijiao was very opportunistic. The daughters of the aristocratic families she had dated in the past had never been so calm to her.
However, even if someone was willing to talk to her occasionally, they would do so cautiously.
Seeing others tired makes her herself tired.
On the other hand, this Miss Yu San in front of me is very agreeable and can talk to her about what is on her mind.
"Miss Xu has said this to Concubine Shu?" Yu Xijiao was surprised.
"I told you, lest aunt think that we have been plotting against my cousin." Xu Jiayi shed tears, "I know that my aunt doesn't like me, and my cousin doesn't like me either. I don't want to marry my cousin.
He doesn't like me. If I really go into my cousin's house, I still don't know how I will die. Miss Yu is the niece of the Queen. The Queen likes her, and so does my aunt."
"Concubine Shu has not liked you for a long time?" Yu Xijiao said thoughtfully.
Then it's not just the reason for the current marriage. It's not because of the marriage. What's the reason that makes Concubine Xu Shu dislike Xu Jiayi so much?
"I've never liked it, it's been like this since I was a kid." Xu Jiayi nodded.
It's not a marriage, could it really be because of Xu Jiayi's temperament? But Xu Jiayi has a very good temper, and Yu Xijiao doesn't think Xu Jiayi is really stupid. The rumors outside are exaggerated, and they are just a little less distracted. She is still a very good person.
To be honest, his character is also good.
"No, my aunt likes the daughter of the Yu family, but she doesn't like the people in our family." Xu Jiayi lowered her head and said.
"Where did you start talking about this?" Yu Xijiao looked surprised.
"It's true. It was like this when we were young. At that time, my eldest sister and I would occasionally go to the palace to accompany my aunt, and we would also meet Miss Jade and the others. When we played together, my aunt would always praise Miss Jade, and she would also praise Miss Jade if she had any good things.
To Sister Yu, the eldest sister and I can only watch helplessly."
The more Xu Jiayi thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. She came back and told her mother about this matter. Her mother also scolded her for being a child who was not sensible and should not talk nonsense. She also said that the Yu sisters were the nieces of the queen and their status was extraordinary. It was normal for Concubine Shu to treat them better.
, saying that Concubine Shu is still under the control of the Queen in the palace...
Lin Zongzong said a lot, and Xu Jiayi figured it out at the time, but later one by one, they all seemed to indicate Xu Shufei's dislike. Xu Jiayi felt that her mother was wrong, her eldest sister was wrong, and her aunt really didn't like it.
I like her, but I don't like her, my eldest sister, and my brother.
But then no one listened to her, and she gradually stopped talking. No one would believe her if she did.
Just now Yu Xijiao had said kind words, and coupled with the injustice she had suffered this time, she immediately vomited out all the words in her heart. After speaking, she stretched out her hand to hold Yu Xijiao's hand, and said very honestly: "Miss Yu San
, you believe me, my aunt really doesn't like me, she doesn't like my eldest sister... The two of us can't compare with the Yu sisters at all, looking at them... it seems like..."
Xu Jiayi chose her words, and then said angrily, "They look like they are relatives. The eldest sister and I are just like adopted people."
In one sentence, Yu Xijiao was shocked and suddenly remembered an old thing...
