Chapter 325: Master Ji makes an exception

  Chapter 325 Master Ji makes an exception

   "Sister Zhou is so smart, how can she not understand?"

   Ji Wanyou whispered: "This matter has progressed to the present, it is necessary to ask Sister Zhou to step forward. If not, wouldn't Sister Zhou's previous efforts be in vain?"

  Zhou Yan gave a wry smile in his heart.

  Don't want her efforts to be wasted?

  So, should she come forward to identify Xia Xi?

"Sister Ji, it's not that I don't want to." Zhou Wei hesitated, "but now even Zhan Yunjiao hasn't mentioned the matter as Xia Xi's mastermind. I rashly identified it, wouldn't it seem too abrupt? Besides, all I can identify is that Zhan Yunjiao and Xia Xi have met secretly...No matter how much, I really don't know anything."

   paused, and then said: "Even if I go to identify, if Zhan Yunjiao insists that this matter has nothing to do with Xia Xi...what will happen then?"

  If Xia Xi is safe and sound, how will she deal with herself in Beijing in the future? Will she still end up with a notoriety that slanders her?

  She never thought about pushing herself ahead of others, and she didn’t want to offend anyone in this way.

"Don't worry." Ji Wanyou said with a smile: "Whatever Zhan Yunjiao said, we have the final say. Not only will she identify Xia Xi as the mastermind, but she will also pick out sister Zhou cleanly in public. Sister Zhou got the slightest suspicion related to this case."

   Zhou Yan was stunned.

  What does it mean... How does Zhan Yunjiao say that it is ‘us’ that has the final say?

   Could it be that Zhan Yunjiao is now held by the Ji family?

and…

  What does it mean to take her out cleanly?

  She had never been involved in Xia Xi and their plans.

  Facing those eyes with a strategizing smile, Zhou Yu suddenly felt cold all over her body.

  —Does it mean that if she does not agree, she will be bitten in by Zhan Yunjiao's words and slander?

   "Sister Zhou thinks this arrangement is still appropriate?" Ji Wanyou asked.

  Zhou Yan tightly grasped the palms that were full of cold sweat—she felt for the first time that the city of Ji’s girl was much deeper than she knew.

  No, it should be said to be terrible!

  In order to achieve the goal, at the expense of acquaintances, he could not blink his eyes, ignoring the feelings and thoughts of others.

But she still can only show embarrassment and say: "I know that sister Ji is always thinking about me... But even if Zhan Yunjiao is willing to confirm that I have nothing to do with the calculation of the Xu family girl, I will come forward to identify Xia Xi, and I will definitely offend The Xia family...By then, even if Xia Xi and Cao Zhuangyuan dissolve their marriage contract, then this marriage...I'm afraid it is destined to miss me..."

  Xia Xi’s forefoot had an accident, and it happened under her identification—At that time, her father couldn’t talk to Cao Zhuangyuan about his marriage. After all, he really wanted to do that. Then who was their Zhou family?

  And in order to avoid being discussed, it is impossible for Cao Zhuangyuan to agree!

"Why is Sister Zhou suddenly confused?" Ji Wanyou's voice is still gentle: "If you refuse to come forward to identify Xia Xi this time, then her marriage with Cao Zhuangyuan will go on as planned. By then, Sister Zhou will not be the same. Watching?"

   Zhou Nao smiled wryly.

   So, in order to prevent Xia Xi and Cao Zhuangyuan from getting married, she has to identify Xia Xi—even if she can't get it, she will break up the marriage?

   Then what is her picture?

  Either she said that she had a deep affection for Cao Zhuangyuan, or she could not see him marry someone like Xia Xi!

  And in this way, isn’t it the same as making wedding dresses for other girls?

  What can she get?

   "Sister Zhou should know that everything in this world, if it is the same as a gambling word, it is impossible to win without losing, because no one can predict the result."

   Ji Wan said slowly: “I just told Sister Zhou earlier that this matter might end up on Sister Zhou. Do you remember how Sister Zhou answered me at the time?”

   Zhou Wei lowered his eyes slightly.

"remember."

  At the time, she said-it doesn't matter whether you are married or not, as long as you can see Xia Xi's luck.

  But what she wanted was to hide behind and watch each other's jokes, not to identify them in person.

  How can this be the same?

  But what is the use of her thinking about these things?

   Zhou Wei looked at Ji Wanyou who was indifferently eating tea.

   Obviously, no matter how much she said now, she couldn't change the decision of the sister Ji in front of her.

  In front of the other party's decision, she did not have the right to choose to say no.

  Because this is not a discussion but telling her what to do next.

  Zhou Nao smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart.

  After all, she is too naive.

  In the past, she had always thought that hiding behind these people to pick up some cheap, no effort, no risk.

  It is also so easy for her to pick it up in the past few years, so I even have to forget that there is no such thing as a real cheap pick in this world.

  Even if there is, it may not be possible for her to pick it up every time without paying any price.

  She thinks she’s smart, but that’s in comparison with that idiot Xia Xi—

  When she meets people like Ji Wanyou, she can only be obedient and obedient.

  Until he left Ji Mansion, Zhou Yan, who was sitting in the carriage, was still a little muddled.

  "Girl...girl?"

   Seeing that she hadn’t responded for a long time, the maid shook her arm gently.

   Zhou Wei suddenly came back to her senses and turned to look at her: "What's the matter?"

   "Girl, the summer residence is here."

So fast?

   Zhou Wei quickly raised his hand and patted his somewhat stiff cheek, making an expression as natural as possible.

  Up to now, she can only do it according to Ji Wanyou's confession, and she can only hope that Ji Wanyou's plan can proceed smoothly...

   "Girl, Miss Zhou's family came to see you."

  Xia Xi, who was leaning on the couch thinking about things, frowned.

  Why is Zhou Wei here again?

   But thinking of the new ideas and plans that came out of her heart, she still patiently said, "Let people come in."

  The maid answered "Yes," but she sighed worriedly from the bottom of her heart. Seeing the girl just now, is it possible to add up some new moths, right?

  I really want to do it again, not to mention that the road in life is getting narrower and narrower, she is going to the edge of the cliff, right?

  The maid frightened herself, and even gave birth to the idea of ​​putting her to death and then resurrecting-how about she deliberately made some mistakes, let the girl fight and then drive her out of the yard?

  "What are you here for?"

  Xia Xi gave the round-faced girl who walked in with a lukewarm look.

   "Let me see you." Zhou Wei sat down on the drum stool next to her couch and said in a low voice, "Axi, have you heard about yesterday?"

   "What's the matter?" Xia Xi asked casually, playing with the fan in her hand.

  "Ms. Xu’s matter... said it was calculated by someone, almost—"

"enough."

   Before Zhou Yu finished speaking, Xia Xi frowned and interrupted: "I don't want to hear about Xu Mingyi!"

  Do you want her to listen to how Xu Mingyi's scenery is praised by others?

   And Zhou Wei came up to tell her what this is for?

   Could it be—doubt her?

Thinking of this, Xia Xi raised her eyes to look at the other person: "...Don't you think that I met with that Zhan Yunjiao, this matter is related to me, right?"

  Zhou Wei was at a loss.

   "Axi...how is this possible? I just think this is a tumultuous matter, so I will listen to you as a lively talk to relieve your boredom."

  Xia Xi looked at her for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

   "Even if you really doubt me, that's normal. But if there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense, so as not to cause trouble, are you right?"

   Zhou Wei smiled and nodded: "This is natural."

  While speaking, his eyes fell on Xia Xi's draped hair, and he asked softly: "Axi, why didn't you pull your hair today?"

  Xia Xi twitched the corners of her mouth sarcastically: "I can't get out anyway, so what do I have to do with that effort."

  And today, the maid who combed her hair didn't know where to put her mind, she pulled her on the scalp several times, and when she was angry, she slapped the person out.

   "Then you have to dress up well, you are about to be brides."

  Xia Xi felt upset when she heard the words "bride".

  But Zhou Wei's words immediately made her feel better for no reason—

"I heard my father say that yesterday, your Majesty even praised Cao Zhuangyuan in front of the civil and military officials in the early morning. My mother often said these days, nowadays in Beijing, I don’t know how many little ladies are envious of you, Axi. Well—but let me say, this is not something anyone can envy, Axi, you have a good family background, and you were born well. It is a matter of course to have such a good marriage."

  Xia Xi raised her eyebrows.

   "Axi, let me comb your hair? You used to ask me to comb your hair." Zhou Wei smiled and got up and went to pull Xia Xi's hand.

  Xia Xi was pulled by her to the dressing table and sat down.

   I am idle anyway. She remembers that Zhou Wei’s hair combing skills have been very good since she was a child-or some people are born with a low life. If you don’t learn well, you have to learn this kind of work done by a maid.

  I have to say that although she doesn't look at Zhou Yan, it's not bad to have such a person by her side.

   "Axi, you are so good-looking when you were born. This hair bun combed on your head is much more beautiful than combed on the heads of others."

   Zhou Wei looked at the girl in the mirror and exclaimed.

  Even if you know that there is an element of flattery in this statement, it does not prevent the listener from being happy.

After    combed her hair, Zhou Wei began to stir up hairpin beads and other things for Xia Xi.

   "Axi, this hairpin is so beautiful... I haven't seen you wear it before."

   "I just bought it in Baohua Building last time. I think it's too vulgar." Xia Xi casually said: "If you like it, then I will give it to you."

   After all, her new plans will inevitably require Zhou Yan’s help in the future. She raises a dog. How can she do without feeding something?

  Zhou Yan’s eyes were bright and authentic: "Really?"

  Of course she also heard Xia Xi’s tacky words about this hairpin—

  But what is worth paying attention to?

  Xia Xi speaks and acts, and there has always been no need to consider her mood.

  Received things, she just has to be grateful for Dade.

   "Hold it." Xia Xi took out a jewelry box from the cabinet, picked it up at will, took a silk flower and compared it to her hair bun, and threw it back dissatisfied.

   Zhou Wei happily put away the hairpin and helped her pick it up.

   "Axi, these two ruby ​​butterfly hairpins are really exquisite, otherwise wear this?"

   "This is more vulgar..." Xia Xi glanced disgustingly, and said quietly: "But I can't give you this. I remember it seems to be a reward for the empress, but I don't like it very much."

  Listening to the careless show off in these words, Zhou Wei smiled and said, "That should be kept well."

  Xia Xi didn't care, and continued to pick up the jewelry.

   Zhou Wei hurriedly put a hairpin back.

  A moment later, Xia Xi chose a pair of bead flowers.

   Zhou Wei put on her hairpin, looking deeply at the girl with arrogant eyebrows in the mirror, and complimented: "Axi, your eyesight is really good."

  ...

  The crimson sunset disappeared, and the twilight between heaven and earth was gradually engulfed by night.

  In the back residence of the Beijing government, Ji Dong is in the study, playing chess with his son who has just returned from the academy today.

In any case, the flower-picking thief was finally over. Although the 15th day was out of date, he was reprimanded by His Majesty. Even though he had been kneeling for a long time in the Imperial Study Room yesterday, he worked so hard until the end. Testimonials—

  Fortunately, the person has caught it. This is the best result, and the tight string in his mind has finally loosened.

  When the father and son played the most important game of chess, the door of the study was suddenly knocked from the outside.

   "Come in." Ji Dong didn't look up, thinking about how to settle.

  A veteran walked in.

"grown ups-"

   "What's the matter?"

   "Someone came from the outer hall, claiming to be the uncle of the Zhanyunjiao clan, and wanted to visit the prison."

  Ji Dong didn’t even want to say: “Zhan Yunjiao is a repeat offender, and the testimony is not complete. It is not suitable to be visited. Let people go back.”

  Yesterday, Wu Shisun came to visit the prison of the flower picking thief, and today there is another person who wants to see Zhan Yunjiao-whoever wants to see the repeat offender will see him. What is the place of his prison, and are there any rules?

  "But he said that he was entrusting the relationship with Shangshufu of the Ministry of War, and would like to ask the adults to be accommodating..." The servant said in embarrassment: "The one who accompanied him is indeed a servant of Shangshufu."

  Ji Dong's hand holding the chess piece tightly.

  Bingbu Shangshufu?

  One by one, how come the connections are so wide?

   "...Never mind, take someone there." Ji Dong waved his hand.

  Who told him to let Wu Shisun go in last night? If you don’t give the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion face today, what if someone says he is biased towards Dingnan Prince Mansion?

  On the art of a bowl of water and peace—he studied under Xu Xian's brother.

  But when he raised his eyes, he saw that his son was looking at him with strange eyes.

  Ji Dong coughed lightly and explained: “This Zhan Yunjiao committed a felony. Under such circumstances, it is rare for her uncle to come to visit, so let’s make an exception.”

  The young man was silent.

  Father will not make an exception in front of the powerful. That is an exception.

  But it’s not easy for the father to earn some salary to support the family, and there is no reason why he is a son.

  Before, the yavier has taken the middle-aged man to prison.

  The middle-aged man was followed by a young servant, dressed in coarse cloth and grey clothes, carrying a food container in his hand. Because of the half-dangling head, in the dark, people can't see the eyebrows clearly.

   "Wake up, the elders of your clan have come to see you!"

  The jailer opened the cell door, shook the iron chain on the cell door, and said to Zhan Yunjiao who was shrinking on the straw-paved stone bed.

Zhan Yunjiao, who was awakened, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

  　 Thank you Lu Qinghan for your reward, thank you for every monthly pass.

Good night.
