Chapter 153 People don't offend me, I don't offend others
Xia Houchun's question was straightforward and resounding. Hu Zhiqian knew that she was in the wrong, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer, so she could only stay there in embarrassment.
In her memory, among the daughters of the Xiahou family, the one with the strongest personality is Xiahou Qi. She accepts death in everything and does not forgive anyone. People say that it is because she lost her mother when she was young and has no one to educate her. And Xia Houqi because of her
Mrs. Zhang's upbringing and personality were quite approachable when she was young. Unexpectedly, after going to Jinfeng City for a few years, after returning, her personality was exactly the same as her sister's. Then I think of the things Xia Houshu did in Prince Zhao's Mansion.
, and the rumors about the Prime Minister's Mansion, she felt more and more that it was due to family education.
Hu Zhiqian's reaction was exactly what Xia Houchun expected, but she didn't bother to care about how she felt in her heart, and continued: "My sister has always been tolerant and generous, and she treats people sincerely. She has never looked down upon or neglected her. Even in the past.
She would never slander those who betrayed her, but would cut them off immediately without any hesitation. The fact that she can live so freely and freely now is all due to her own ability. She is afraid that there are people who don't know right from wrong and can't judge people.
I didn’t know, I thought I had picked up a treasure, and I thought my sister had no sense and didn’t know the general situation. Now that I understand, I blame my sister for not warning me earlier and for coming to seek misfortune on my sister. You have said all your good and bad things.
"
Everyone present could tell that the first half was about Jiang Fengmin and Hu Zhiqian, but the second half was for Tang's ears.
Tang's face instantly became even more ugly, and he pointed at her and muttered: "Why do you, a woman who has not yet left the government, speak so unpleasantly?"
"What does this have to do with whether I am leaving the court?"
?" At this point, she paused for a moment, as if she had discovered some great secret. She deliberately covered her mouth and said in surprise, "Is this what Mrs. Tang and Sister Hu did?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hu Zhiqian said angrily.
"You are so slanderous!" Mrs. Tang also said.
Xia Houchun deliberately looked like he didn't understand, and said doubtfully: "I just analyzed it according to Mrs. Tang's words. Why do you blame me for spewing nonsense?"
Hu Zhiqian and Tang looked at each other and realized that Xia Houchun was not a good person either.
Before they could get into trouble again, Xia Houchun took the lead and said: "We have not been in the capital these years, and we don't know how my sister is arranged in the capital. But my sister walks upright, sits upright, and does not take pictures.
The shadow is slanted. Who heard what happened back then and didn’t say that my sister was self-respecting and self-loving and had the backbone? My sister didn’t care, that’s because she was tolerant and generous. But I’m not that generous. Now that I’m back, I won’t tolerate it.
Those gangsters maliciously slandered my sister's reputation."
The following sentence is both a notice and a warning.
Tang Shi cursed angrily: "You... you are simply a shrew!"
Xia Houshu, who had always been listening attentively, couldn't help it anymore. Before her cousin could think of a countermeasure, she retorted: "Mrs. Tang, we respect you because you are the daughter of the general Zhengnan's family.
Look at you, don't be disrespectful. No matter it is my eldest sister or my second sister, they have done nothing wrong, have never met you, and have never offended you. Why do you verbally abuse me? As for the title of shrew, my sister
I don’t dare to take it seriously, but it would be more appropriate to use it on Mrs. Tang!”
"You... you are simply unreasonable!" Tang realized that Xia Houshu was mocking her for causing a lot of trouble with the Jiang family, and couldn't help but said angrily, "What do you, a little girl, know? Don't confuse right and wrong! It's obvious!
She was the one who taunted me first!"
"There is no distinction between right and wrong. You are the one who comes first!" Xia Houshu said unceremoniously, "Are we familiar with you? You came here to provoke provocation, and you still expect us to be polite to you? You
Do you think we have as much leisure as you?"
Xia Houchun was very happy when he saw his sister arguing so vigorously, but his face was very calm and he comforted him: "Okay, Shu'er, don't be as familiar with them as it would be beneath your status."
Tang's face turned green with anger: "What do you mean by this?"
Xia Houchun said with a smile: "Mrs. Tang is a smart person, you can slowly realize it yourself."
"You have gone too far!" Tang was furious and rushed forward to beat Xia Houchun.
Xia Houshu stopped Tang, looked at her face that was twisted with anger and surprise, let go in disgust, pushed her back slightly, and said coldly: "Tang
Madam, you have been married to the capital for so many years, and you are so concerned about my eldest sister’s affairs. Don’t you know that women from our family of military generals also have skills to help us? You still want to hurt my second sister with your tricks? "
Tang staggered back a few steps, and one of the hairpins from her bun fell off. Fortunately, Hu Zhiqian caught her in time, otherwise she would definitely have fallen down in public.
After she stood still, she immediately looked around and saw several female relatives looking here curiously. She immediately had an idea, and then she sat down on the ground and cried: "Come here.
People! The girl from the Duke of Yue's mansion beat someone up!"
As soon as she finished speaking, most of the guests chatting next to her or passing by looked over.
A trace of pride flashed across Tang's face.
Xia Houchun looked at his sister a little worriedly. After all, she was in someone else's house.
Xia Houshu was not anxious at all. This was not the first time she had encountered such a public embarrassment, and this time, she was not necessarily the one who was embarrassed. She curled up her lips and looked at Tang sitting on the ground with a smile.
, said: "Mrs. Tang, what nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight? This is in Yeguo's palace. You and I had no grudges in the past and have no grudges today. Why should I hit you?"
Seeing that her sister had no fear, Xia Houchun was relieved. She coughed lightly and deliberately raised her voice: "Mrs. Tang, we know that you have been unhappy in the Jiang family in the past few years, so you vented your resentment on me.
Sister. You must think that if my eldest sister did not break off the engagement, you would not have to go all the way to the capital to marry and suffer. But the Hu family’s sister knows best what happened back then. It is not my eldest sister’s fault. Don’t hate me.
Wrong person. She is so good to you, shouldn't I tell you?"
Most of the onlookers knew what happened back then, and couldn't help but whisper a few words.
Tang immediately turned to look at Hu Zhiqian. The other party did tell her about Jiang Fengmin's scandal, but what she had told her before was that Xia Houqi was overbearing and cunning, and Jiang Fengmin had sex with the maid in the house because he couldn't stand it. And these days
During the year, Hu Zhiqian often spoke ill of Xiahou Qi in her ears, so she couldn't hold back her anger when she saw the Xiahou sisters.
Hu Zhiqian looked innocent, so why did she get burned while talking?
Xia Houchun did not stop there, but looked around at the female relatives who were watching, and continued to say loudly: "You must have heard about what happened between my eldest sister and the Jiang family five years ago. In these years, my eldest sister has
She did not give up on herself because she met an unkind person, but she respected herself and loved herself. She married away from home. Now she and my eldest brother-in-law fall in love and have children. During this period, she has never said anything bad about others. If she still has such a character,
If she is criticized, then I really feel sad for her. You are all clear-minded and independent people, and you will not follow others' opinions and spread rumors."
The onlookers did not dare to admit that they were not clear-headed. They all said that Xia Houqi is a woman who dares to love and hate, and has a sense of dignity. They also wished her and her husband a long life together.
Xia Houchun thanked everyone for their praise and blessings, then looked at Ms. Tang who was still sitting on the ground, slowly walked a few steps forward, leaned over to pick up the fallen Jin Bu Yao for her, and then gently inserted it into her body.
On her bun. Then giving her a chance to shake the hairpin, Xia Houchun reminded her in a low voice: "Mrs. Tang, you have to think clearly. Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. It was the Jiang family who deceived you, not me.
Sister, if you continue to quarrel with us, we will not lose anything, but what about you? I heard that you have not been getting along well with the Jiang family in the past few years. Maybe they have other plans. If so
If they find out something about you, will they recognize you as their daughter-in-law?"
Tang's heart suddenly sounded alarm bells. After enduring it for so many years, she no longer cared about being recognized by her parents-in-law and husband. The Jiang family deceived her, and she hated it with itch, but she had already made plans for life and death for the Jiang family.
The plan of the general's ghost. If they didn't let him feel comfortable, she would never let them go as well, so she couldn't just be driven back to her parents' home in such despair.
But right now, she couldn't pretend that she accidentally fell down and then got up on her own.
Hu Zhiqian, however, was very good at seeing the situation, and knew that the Xiahou sisters were not easy to provoke, so she did not dare to say anything more, so she quickly helped Tang up and pulled her away.
Xia Houshu looked at the backs of the two people fleeing, and said to Xia Houchun with a smile: "I originally thought that the second sister was the gentlest and kindest among the three of us sisters, but I didn't expect that she could be so talkative, and she could shut them up with just a few words.
Mouth."
Xia Houchun raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will pay you back twice as much. These people just dare to talk behind their backs. If they really say it openly, it may not be possible."
You have the honor. I am also about to get married and become a woman. If I don’t set some rules now and let them pretend to be nice and talk nonsense, do they still want to have clean ears in the future?”
Xia Houshu immediately said yes with a smile, and said: "Sister Hu and I have never talked much about each other. In the past, it was just because she was a good friend of the eldest sister and it was not easy to offend. When we met, we just asked each other.
Goodbye. In this way, she often teased my life experience and childhood experiences with the mother-in-law around me. After you left Beijing, she stopped coming to our house, and I never saw her again. Later, I heard that she got married.
, I don’t even care about her movements, and I don’t know why she got involved with Down syndrome.”
Xia Houchun didn't care how they were colluding, but said calmly and firmly: "As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together. If she wants to have a good relationship with the Tang family, that is her freedom, and we have no right to interfere. But if she
If you want to encourage the Tang family to bring bad luck to us, then don't blame me for not giving her a good face."
