Chapter 33: Cheating
Mengxi quickly agreed, washed her hands, and went forward to rub the old lady gently. Thinking of the jokes she had heard in her previous life, she said to the old lady while massaging:
"My granddaughter-in-law remembered a joke, it's very funny"
"I'm feeling very bored, Xier, come and tell me something," said the old lady.
Mengxi nodded and began to speak in a slow and gentle voice:
On this day, the old man was going on a long journey. Before leaving, he said to his son: "If someone comes to our house and asks where the old tree in front of our house is, you should say: 'It was sold because it was old.' If they ask where the bamboo forest in our backyard is, you should say: 'It was destroyed during the war.' If they ask why there is so much rice in our granary, you should say: 'This is what my father and mother saved bit by bit.' If they ask why the New Year painting on our wall is so good, you should say: 'This is inherited from our ancestors.'" The old man's son nodded and repeated it again. Then the old man left with peace of mind.
As a result, a guest came the next day. After the guest entered the yard, the old man's son came to greet him. The guest asked: "Where is your father?" The landlord's son said: "He was sold because he was old." The guest felt very strange and asked: "Where is your mother?" The landlord's son said: "She was ruined during the war." The guest shook his head helplessly. After entering the house, he saw a lot of chicken shit on the ground, and then asked: "Why is there so much chicken shit on the ground in your house?" The old man's son said: "This is what my father and mother saved bit by bit." The guest thought it was ridiculous, so he asked again: "Why are you so stupid, kid?" The old man's son said: "This is inherited from our ancestors."
The old lady couldn't help laughing: "There really are such stubborn people in this world, their brains won't even turn, they look like a mess."
When the grandmother heard this, she almost spit out her tea. She smiled in a dignified manner,
"Second Grandma is such a delicate person"
"Yes, what a clever person. With Xi'er by my side, I can live several more years. When Jun'er gets better, Xi'er will come over often to entertain me."
The maids and old women on the side couldn't help laughing. After hearing what the old lady said, they all agreed with her and praised the second grandmother. The atmosphere suddenly became lively. The old lady and the eldest grandmother listened with smiles on their faces.
They are a bunch of flatterers. Even though they speak nicely now, if the old lady doesn't like her one day, these people will kick her without hesitation, and they will do it harder than anyone else. Mengxi listened to the flattering words of the maids and served the old lady even more carefully.
…
Hongzhu reached out to open the bedroom curtain, Mengxi stepped in, one foot in the door and one foot outside, she looked up and saw Erye and Hongyu hugging each other in dishevel, her face flushed, she paused awkwardly, turned around and wanted to leave, but then she thought it was inappropriate, Hongyu was just a maid after all, she was the legal wife, she had already come in, if she just left like this, how could she shock the group of wolf-like women in the backyard in the future? If she didn't leave, she really didn't want to face this kind of dirty thing, and she was in a dilemma for a while.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: Damn, I'll lose the fight but not the momentum. Who am I, Li Mengxi? I've seen a lot of porn movies in my previous life. If you're brave, Xiao Jun, give me a live show. Am I still afraid of you?
Hongzhu also found something wrong at this time, and hurriedly pulled the second wife out. According to her thinking, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and it was nothing to have an affair occasionally, and he could take her into the backyard if he was happy. If you encounter such a thing, it is best to stay as far away as possible, so as not to get stye in the future. Mengxi hesitated for a moment, waved away Hongzhu's hand, straightened his small body, and walked in.
Hongyu and Xiaojun on the bed also found that Mengxi had returned. Hongyu tried to get up from the bed in panic, but Xiaojun held her back and stopped her from moving. Hongyu took advantage of the situation and lay on Xiaojun's chest, stealing glances at the Second Mistress standing at the door. She paused for a moment, then took a square step and walked in calmly. She sat on the chair in front of the desk, picked up the half-strung pearl flower on the table, and began to string it. Her slender jade fingers gently twisted a pearl, looked at it carefully, admired it for a long time, and finally strung the thread in steadily, then picked up another one. Her gentle movements were so calm and peaceful, as if she had been sitting there from the beginning, and like an unchanging sculpture. The Second Mistress's face on the bed was getting darker and darker.
Sitting there stringing beads seemingly calmly, Mengxi's heart was beating fast. She was really afraid that Mr. Xiao was shameless enough to put on a live show, which would make her very embarrassed.
Hongyu's struggle just now and Xiao Jun's tight embrace were all reflected in her eyes. She understood that this was the iceberg demonstrating to her. The spirit of not admitting defeat in her previous life was aroused all at once. She was betting that the iceberg was not thick-skinned enough to have sex with Hongyu in front of her, so she sat down quietly.
Xiao Jun was miserable. He just found out today that his new second wife had asked the master to keep him in the upper room for half a month. He was in a daze that day and didn't know what happened afterwards. No one dared to mention it to him afterwards. Today, he occasionally heard Hongyu talk about it. He was so angry. He was a man who stood tall and upright. If he hadn't had the habit of beating women, he would have been very angry. He really wanted to drag Mengxi over and beat her up. This was the first time he had the idea of beating a woman.
He didn't believe in the saying of getting married. This must be a way for Li Mengxi to win favor. Not only did he think of Yuanpa on the wedding night and Hong Xinjiao's incident yesterday, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this woman was too sinister and vicious. She was not worthy of being his wife. It was a pity to waste such a good appearance. But Xiao Jun was not a man who was greedy for women. What if he was forced to stay for half a month? He would be with other women and would not touch her! So there was the scene just now.
On the fourth day after his marriage, he was sleeping with a maid in bed. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the bride. Xiao Jun wanted to stimulate her, make her uncomfortable, and make her feel ashamed. In his opinion, a woman would turn around and leave or make a big fuss when encountering such a thing. If she dared to make a fuss, he would just say that she had committed the first of the seven grounds for divorce - jealousy, and give her a severe beating. He had imagined many reactions of hers after seeing this scene, but he had never thought it would be this one. He really did not have the courage to perform a live show in front of her.
He could shamelessly let his father force him to stay in the upper room for half a month. What else could Li Mengxi not dare to do? He was really afraid. If he had the courage to perform, she would have the courage to watch the show. If they really wanted to do it, it would be better for the two of them to do it secretly behind closed doors. It would not be good to have the wife watching. Thinking of this, he was at a loss for a moment and his face became darker and darker. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. An invisible pressure spread. Finally, Xiao Jun's arm loosened, and Hongyu took the opportunity to get out of bed. She wanted to escape from this suffocating room as soon as possible. What happened between the Second Grandma and the Grandpa had nothing to do with her, so she tiptoed out, as if the Second Grandma was asleep and she could just walk around her gently to escape.
“Kneel down!”
When she walked past the Second Grandma, she heard her voice. Her tone was light, but it seemed to contain everything and exuded supreme majesty. Hongyu was so scared that she knelt down in front of the Second Grandma, and Xiao Junteng sat up.
"Hongyu, do you admit your guilt?"
"I was wrong. I know my crime. I beg Second Madam to punish me."
"Someone come! ..."
Mengxi shouted loudly.
