Chapter 259: Getting Married (Part 2)
When Jia Yingchun was sent out of the flower hall by Wang Xifeng, she felt mixed emotions.
Wang Xifeng's eloquence was amazing, and the beautiful future she described was even more fascinating. However, even in her dreams, Jia Yingchun had never thought of learning from her to compete with men for victory or defeat, or to discuss who was right or wrong.
So from the bottom of her heart, Jia Yingchun rejected this "dowry".
But the word "reject" was on the tip of her tongue, turning around between her white teeth and red lips, but she couldn't say it out loud .
What's more, Wang Xifeng did not leave her any room for refusal.
Alas~
I just want to live a peaceful life after getting married, but why is it so difficult?
"girl."
Just as she was thinking about how to deal with this "plan to get rich", she heard a greeting from the side. Jia Yingchun looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiu Ju coming over with a lantern, standing under the corridor and talking to Ping'er.
Jia Yingchun was delighted and asked, "But Siqi is looking for..."
She wanted to ask, "But Siqi has been found," but halfway through the words she suddenly felt something was wrong. What if Siqi really did something shameless, she must not let others know about it now.
Therefore, Jia Yingchun hurriedly and stiffly changed the topic: "But...but Siqi wants to talk to me about something?"
Xiu Ju was quite clever. She lifted the lantern in her hand and said crisply, "That's right. Sister Siqi just received some instructions from the Madam and was just about to pass them on to you, young lady."
How smart is Ping'er?
She had seen that the master and servant were hiding something, but she was always considerate, so she still pretended to be nonchalant and smiled, "I wanted to chat with the second young lady, but since Siqi has something serious to do, I won't delay the second young lady."
Yingchun said goodbye to her solemnly, and then, led by Xiuju, she walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the east wing.
"girl."
After walking more than a hundred steps and seeing that there was no one around, Xiu Ju turned back and whispered, "I looked for Sister Siqi for a long time but couldn't find her, so I thought of reporting to the young lady first. But when I went back, the young lady was not in the yard, but Sister Siqi came back by herself!"
At this point, she lowered her voice and said anxiously, "She did come back, but her hair and face were unkempt, and her clothes... her clothes didn't seem to be very tidy, as if... as if they had been rubbed by someone."
The clothes look like they have been rubbed?!
Upon hearing this, Jia Yingchun almost fell to the ground. She gritted her teeth and grabbed Xiu Ju's clothes, saying in a trembling voice, "Did she...did she say anything? Did anyone see what she looked like?!"
"Don't worry, girl."
Seeing her eyelashes fluttering and tears in her eyes, Xiu Ju knew that she had frightened her greatly with her words just now, so she hurriedly comforted her, "I saw that something was not right, so I locked the room and said that Sister Siqi was not feeling well, so I didn't let anyone see it."
When Yingchun's face regained some color, Xiuju continued, "I did ask a few questions, but Sister Siqi refused to say anything. I was worried about the girl, so I didn't ask any more questions."
"It's all thanks to you."
Jia Yingchun patted her chest which was rising and falling, but she still held her breath.
Because she didn't discipline her strictly on weekdays, Siqi became bold and aggressive. Not to mention the ordinary maids, even Ping'er, who could be half the master, was far less popular than her.
After the master and servant had a heart-to-heart talk a few days ago, everyone could see that Siqi was holding back a grudge. Given her usual personality, once this grudge erupted, I'm afraid...
Thinking of this, Jia Yingchun didn't dare to think any further. Although maids could not fully represent their masters, if a personal maid revealed some embarrassing scandal before the wedding, it would inevitably affect her husband's family's view of her.
Amitabha, I hope she didn’t really do anything, and even if she did, she must not let anyone see it!
She chanted Buddha's name in her heart all the way, and when she returned to the west wing where she temporarily stayed, she saw that the door of Siqi and Xiu Ju's room was wide open, and the old woman and two maids in the yard were pointing and talking about something inside the room.
Didn't you say it was locked? How come the door is open again?!
Jia Yingchun was at a loss for words, but Xiu Ju was much more confident and immediately shouted, "Why are you making trouble here so late at night instead of going to sleep? Be careful, if Sister Siqi finds out tomorrow, she will skin you alive!"
The two maids immediately retreated timidly.
The old woman was bolder and said with a smile, "It's not that we don't want to rest, it's just that Miss Siqi just sent in a bathtub and hot water, so we're waiting for a while so we can go in and clean up."
Bathtub, hot water?
Jia Yingchun's heart skipped a beat again. Originally, she was still confused about the love affairs between men and women, but two days ago, Mrs. Xing sent her a beautifully printed "pamphlet".
Jia Yingchun did not dare to read the blushing descriptions above carefully, but she remembered the details of cleaning the body afterwards very clearly!
Siqi couldn't have already...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but grab the corner of Xiu Ju's clothes, as if she could draw strength to support herself from her.
Xiu Ju didn't have so many thoughts. Seeing that the woman dared to talk back, she put her hands on her waist, raised her eyebrows and scolded: "I'm back now, do I still need you to make a fuss? Go back and rest as soon as possible. If the young lady has anything to tell you, I will naturally wake you up!"
After the old woman left reluctantly, the master and servant arrived at the door and heard the sound of water splashing inside. It was obvious that the old woman was not lying - but if it was called washing, the noise was indeed a bit loud.
The two exchanged glances, and Xiu Ju said, "Young lady, go in and ask. I'll be guarding outside to prevent anyone from barging in."
Xiu Ju was obviously taking the initiative to avoid suspicion.
Jia Yingchun didn't want her to know too much, so she nodded quickly and agreed. After crossing the threshold, she carefully closed the door and followed the sound of water to the inner room.
After entering the inner room, I saw a tall and plump figure sitting in the bathtub with her back to the door in the mist. She held a towel in both hands and rubbed her fair and delicate body desperately - although I couldn't see what was in front of her, her shoulders were already red.
Rather than calling it a bath, this is more like self-abuse!
But when Jia Yingchun saw this scene, she was more happy than worried, because with Siqi's personality, if she really gave her body to her lover, she would never behave like this.
Of course, this alone was not enough to completely reassure her, so Jia Yingchun took two steps forward and asked cautiously, "You...you didn't..."
Crash~
But before Jia Yingchun could ask, Siqi suddenly turned around, and a huge splash of water surged below her collarbone.
Jia Yingchun subconsciously took a half step back, and saw Siqi staring at her with a pair of red eyes, standing straight in the bathtub with a body of 1.75 meters tall, gritting her teeth and saying, "Miss, don't worry, I haven't given my body away yet! It's up to you to decide who to give it to in the future!"
this……
This was completely contrary to what she had said to him at the beginning!
Jia Yingchun was stunned for a long while, until the warm water on Siqi's body had mostly dripped down to the area a foot in front of her. Then she stammered, "What happened to you? What happened to you..."
"I'm fine!"
Siqi still spoke excitedly without caring about the difference between high and low: "And it won't happen again! Miss, you can rest assured and don't have to guard against me like a thief!"
"I don't… …"
Jia Yingchun wanted to explain, but when she saw Siqi burst into tears , she lost her composure for a moment and finally said in a stammering voice, "If you...if you have anything to say, come and discuss it with me. Don't...don't..."
Until the end, she was unable to figure out what was going on, so she had to quietly leave the room, and told Xiu Ju to go in and take good care of Si Qi so that she wouldn't catch a cold.
Just like that, Jia Yingchun returned to the main room alone. Thinking back to Siqi's appearance just now, she couldn't help but feel relieved.
Because from the looks of it, Siqi had clearly had some conflict with her lover, and even gave up the idea of being in a relationship with that man - although this was not a good thing for Siqi, for Jia Yingchun, it really was a huge relief.
only……
How can I easily let go of this huge stone in my heart?
The next day, new trouble arose with Siqi!
