If Yu Ruzhuo hadn't done this, I would have killed her.
It's just that this man has always behaved like a gentleman from a well-known family who knows etiquette and etiquette, and now he resorts to such methods.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and then she heard Yu Ruzhuo's voice: "My legs don't hurt anymore? You can still laugh!"
This man is getting bolder and bolder! There are so many people here!
People of this era are no better than those of later generations. Superstition about ghosts and ghosts is almost a social consensus.
Now that something like this happened, those people looked at Xie Songhua in a more or less strange way.
Even Mrs. Qi was a little surprised and confused. When she turned around and saw the smile on the corner of Xie Songhua's mouth, she suddenly became angry again.
He quickly dismissed everyone who was waiting for something to happen, and then said to Xie Songhua: "I don't have anything else to do. Your grandmother will have her sixtieth birthday soon. She originally planned to ask your third sister to copy one hundred copies of the "Longevity Sutra"
Send it, your third sister is not able to do it now, now that you are back, I will leave this matter to you!"
After saying that, he sent a maid to put pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the Kang table nearby.
Are you asking her to copy here?
Xie Songhua said: "I just entered school, and this handwriting is really unbearable to show to others, I'm afraid..."
"As long as you are sincere," Mrs. Qi said calmly, expressionlessly, "the worse your calligraphy is, the more you need to practice."
Xie Songhua had no choice but to obey her words and turned around to look around. There was no writing desk in the room. This short table was placed on the kang, which meant that she had to kneel on the kang to copy scriptures.
As the lights flickered, Mrs. Qi's eyes flashed with a trace of ridicule, "From today on, you will come to me to copy the scriptures for two hours every day after lunch. If you calculate the time, it will almost catch up with your grandmother's birthday.
Yes, you just have to remember that you must be sincere when copying scriptures, the paper must not be dirty, and the handwriting must be clear.”
For two hours, four hours, she was asked to kneel on the kang and copy scriptures with all her concentration. They really found a perfect punishment method for her.
The sky outside was dark and gloomy, so the maids in the house began to light lamps everywhere in the house. Mrs. Qi's face was hidden behind the dim lights, and Xie Songhua could not see clearly even from such a close distance.
It was as if there was just an indifferent stone statue, and words without emotion came out of it, and then sank into the dark room.
Xie Songhua actually didn't quite understand how a person could be so paranoid that he could be so indifferent to right from wrong.
Even if you put aside the fact that she is her biological daughter, you are obviously a victim, so why do you feel so "sinful" when you come to her?
"What?" Qi finally turned around and looked directly at Xie Songhua, "You don't want to?"
All the lights in the house were finally lit one after another, and it was finally raining heavily outside.
The face in front of Xie Songhua seemed to be covered with a mask under the light, and the mask was full of hatred.
She felt some pain in her chest, but she also knew that it was not her own emotions, but the original owner's.
She quietly exhaled a long breath and was about to speak. The lamp closest to Qi suddenly went out.
The sudden change in light interrupted what Xie Songhua was about to say.
A clever maid immediately lit it again, but not far away three more lights went out at the same time.
Then the room suddenly became chaotic, because no matter how fast these maids worked, there were always a few lamps that were lit and then extinguished.
Xie Songhua's eyes widened and he followed the busy maids. After thinking about it, the discomfort in his heart immediately disappeared, but it was a little difficult to hold back his laughter.
Mrs. Qi couldn't help but stood up in panic, her eyes following the people in the room in horror, "What's going on? What's going on?"
"Madam, I don't know what's wrong. This... this... this light will go out by itself if it is good. We..."
Xie Songhua really didn't expect that Yu Ruzhuo still had such a childish side. She tried her best to suppress the corners of her lips that were almost uncontrollable, frowned and said nervously: "Return, do you still want to copy?"
Mrs. Qi suddenly turned her head, stared at her, gritted her teeth and said, "Why don't you copy it? Could it be..."
Before he finished speaking, the stack of papers that had just been placed on the kang table automatically fell to the ground without wind.
"Ah!" Mrs. Qi exclaimed and took a sudden step back, almost tripping over the chair. Fortunately, Mrs. Liang on the side held her in time.
"You...what did you do!" Qi steadied her figure and immediately pointed at Xie Songhua and asked.
Xie Songhua also looked panicked and couldn't speak clearly, "Wha...what?"
Mother Liang said quickly: "Madam, the fourth girl is also frightened, so we should let her go back first!"
Mrs. Qi stared at Xie Songhua with fear and reluctance, but she still said harshly: "Let's go! Get out of here quickly!"
Xie Songhua did not dare to remove his frightened look, but he still remembered to follow the etiquette taught by Grandma Ying and bowed respectfully before retreating.
The rain outside was pouring down, and when Ding Xiang saw her coming out, she hurriedly came up to greet her.
The master and the servant walked along the corridor to the entrance of the courtyard, and were immediately in trouble.
"I just borrowed an umbrella from someone here, but I couldn't get it. It's raining so heavily now, and we can't go back! Otherwise, girl, just wait a moment. I'll go back to the umbrella first, and then come and pick up the girl?"
"
Xie Songhua turned around and glanced at the brightly lit room behind him, smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's raining and the road is slippery, don't worry."
Seeing Ding Xiang's figure disappearing into the rain, the door of the Summer Palace was immediately closed behind Xie Songhua.
The rain was really heavy, and the wind didn't stop, so the rain poured straight on Xie Songhua's body.
I'm afraid that when Ding Xiang comes back, she will be soaked. It's already autumn, and she will really get sick if she stays with wet clothes for a long time.
Just when she was about to take a step forward, planning to go back in the rain, an umbrella floated over next to her.
Xie Songhua quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was there. "You are too brave. What happened in the house just now means that I am afraid that someone will be invited to perform rituals tomorrow. How dare you do this!"
Then she heard Yu Ruzhuo chuckle, "Let's go! So much nonsense."
Seeing that she didn't move, Yu Ruzhuo said helplessly: "When it rains so heavily, even a person knows how to stay indoors. There is no one outside."
I don't know if it's Xie Songhua's misunderstanding, but I always feel that Yu Ruzhuo's tone when talking to her has become much more relaxed now.
Xie Songhua looked at the umbrella floating next to him and felt a little funny for no reason, so he just laughed and followed "it" out.
Sure enough, as Yu Ruzhuo said, it was raining heavily outside and it was foggy, with not even a single person in sight.
Even if someone is really watching from a distance, it seems like she is holding an umbrella herself.
"Feeling better?"
Hearing his words, Xie Songhua looked confused.
"Ms. Qi is not a qualified mother."
It turned out that he was afraid that she would be sad because of Qi's attitude. Xie Songhua shook his head, "I don't have any expectations, so I won't feel anything sad."
Yu Ruzhuo paused for a moment before speaking, "You're a girl, why are you so stubborn?"
Xie Songhua wanted to say that he was not trying to be brave, but then he thought that if he was not an outsider, it would be abnormal not to feel sad at this moment, so he stopped talking.
"After such a commotion today, she doesn't dare to make things difficult for me anymore, for fear that my reputation as a monster will spread again tomorrow."
"Won't."
Seeing him so calm, Xie Songhua couldn't help but wonder, "Why?"
