Mrs. Qin was stunned by Chang Xi's retort, and she could only tighten her lips in displeasure. It was the first time she felt Chang Xi's sharp tongue, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

She really couldn't say that her husband would go back on his promise. First, she couldn't afford to lose that person, and second, her husband's attitude on this matter was very clear. He supported Chang Xi. If she overturned her husband's decision, then

Her husband will also take the opportunity to send Chang Xi away, which is not what she wants to achieve.

So, now she was in trouble.

When Chang Xi saw Mrs. Qin like this, she knew she was looking for the bottom of the steps, so she smiled and said, "Madam, you see, this will make everyone look bad, so why bother?" She stepped forward slowly and held her hand.

He picked up the tea bowl that Qin had put down before and put it in front of her with both hands, "Madam, my respect for you is like a torrential river that will never end. Don't worry, I will always remember who I am. What do you think?"

She didn't want to really break up with Mrs. Qin, at least not at this time, otherwise she would be unable to move forward in the backyard of Jie Mansion without finding someone to hold her back.

So her attitude was still good, and her smile was to tell Mrs. Qin that she did not take all this to heart.

Mrs. Qin looked at Chang Xi's gesture of serving tea. She was indeed humble and no different from the way she remembered it. Then she reflected on her previous behavior. She was too hasty and said the wrong thing. In fact,

She didn't really want to detain Chang Xi in the backyard.

Dayu was open to the public. When she was growing up, her parents did not confine her in the backyard and forbade her to go out. Later, when she married into the Jie family in Yiyang, she was not suffocated by rules. She was trusted by her parents-in-law, took care of the household affairs, and went out.

When it comes to communication, she lags behind in nothing.

She was more cautious during those years in the capital, but the atmosphere at that time did not allow her to act recklessly. If a tile fell in the capital, it would hit a relative of the emperor. Would she dare to act recklessly?

Her mind was still clear, and she never thought of causing trouble to her husband. After all, a good wife rarely causes trouble to her husband.

Thinking of this, she sighed, reached out to take the tea bowl held by Chang Xi in both hands, and walked down the stairs to avoid making things worse.

She took a sip of tea and saw Chang Xi breathing a sigh of relief from the corner of her eye. It turned out that this girl was also scared. When she thought about it, she didn't want to pursue it anymore.

"Well, why should I, an elder, care about this with you, a junior?" She put down the tea bowl, took Chang Xi's hand and said, "You know that I have always been the most tolerant and kind-hearted. Don't put all your thoughts on me in the future.

When it comes to making a living, you have to take time to care about Brother Jin. When the time comes that you really give birth to a child, the Jie family will never treat you badly."

At this moment, she was so moved by her words. In her mind, she was giving Chang Xi an accurate message that she would not drive her away easily in the future and force her mother and son to be separated.

Chang Xi would never be moved by such words. On the contrary, she felt extremely disgusted. This was because she did not regard women as human beings, but as machines to give birth to children, especially surrogate wives. What was the difference between surrogacy and surrogacy?

However, she did not show that she had different views from Qin's, but bowed her head slightly in response. After all, she really didn't want to answer such a question, it was too much against her will.

Mrs. Qin was extremely happy with her reaction, which meant that she could still dominate Chang Xi, which was a recognition of her authority.

"Starting tomorrow, I will send you supplements on my own. You can't shirk it. You must drink it for me."

When Chang Xi heard this, she murmured in her heart, it couldn't be some kind of fertility soup, right?

At this time, she frowned, secretly wondering if Qin was going to make any big move again. She hinted that Qin had a heart attack before, but now that trick didn't work anymore, so she could only secretly be careful.

"I will obey Madam's arrangements."

She could be obedient without losing a piece of meat, so she followed Qin's instructions.

Sure enough, Mrs. Qin's face broke out into a smile, and she patted Chang Xi's hand to show her affection.

Even Jie Yujiao, who was sitting aside, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she was really afraid that her mother would fall out with the Chang family. In this case, her father would definitely blame her mother, and a quarrel would be inevitable.

My healthy body will definitely be affected, and I'm afraid I'll be bedridden again.

so

, now she didn’t find fault with Chang Xi. On the contrary, she simply handed her mother the steps to come down. She felt a little appreciative for some reason in her heart. It seemed like a pity to be detained in the backyard for such a flexible and adaptable character.

.

Of course, this thought only passed through her mind for a moment, and her inner world was still the same as before.

At this moment, the maid came in to report that Sister Shi Bichi was here.

Mrs. Qin hurriedly let the sisters in. The sisters had brought her a lot of fun recently, and she no longer had any grudges against the Shi family in her heart.

As soon as Shi Bichi came in, he first greeted Mrs. Qin, then exchanged a few words with Jie Yujiao, and finally looked at Chang Xi. He said hello with a smile, but secretly exchanged a look with worry in his eyes.

.

Chang Xi smiled and chatted with her. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Hongxiu peeking outside the door. He immediately understood that it was Hongxiu who saw something was wrong and hurriedly brought in Shi Bichi as a reinforcement. After all, she was a double agent, and Shi Bichi would not doubt it.

Her true intentions.

Shi Bichi sat down next to Mrs. Qin, pointed to Chang Xi with a smile and said, "Auntie, the tea bricks made by Mrs. Chang are a new thing. Why not ask her to give us some to try? I worked hard that day."

"Tea brick? Is it used to make tea?" Ms. Qin was curious.

Chang Xi smiled and said, "Exactly, but it's not that I'm stingy and don't use it to honor my wife, but I have to wait for enough time for this tea brick to brew a bowl of good tea. I just want to keep the best for myself."

Madam, no one else is treated like Madam."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Qin was amused, "Aren't you really stingy?"

"Of course." Chang Xi made an exaggerated expression, then leaned forward and whispered, "What they drink is not good stuff. The good stuff must be left to our own people to enjoy. Madam, please wait a little longer. Then I will

I’ll brew you a bowl of good tea with my own hands.”

This intimate gesture swept away the previous unhappiness, and the two of them laughed extremely happily.

"That's what was agreed, and it's not allowed to change." Qin emphasized.

Chang Xi nodded fiercely, "I don't dare to fool anyone, madam." Then she turned to look at Xie Yujiao, "Miss Xie won't be allowed to go home then, and we will stay together to enjoy tea."

Jie Yujiao is Qin's precious daughter, so good things cannot be left behind.

In fact, she had secretly made some guesses about Qin's sudden attack before.

Shi Bichi would not hold her back at this juncture. She hoped that she would devote herself to her work, so it was impossible for her to speak ill of her in front of Mrs. Qin. It was too late to say good things.

Mrs. Qian, the second wife of Jie Er, is said to have not recovered from her qi illness. The relationship between her and Mrs. Qin has always been very delicate, but people who are sick don't have that much thought to make trouble. Besides, her son and daughter are now with her.

In the tea brick business, she would be even less likely to hold back. Aren't you afraid that Mr. Bai would make trouble with her?

As for the two remaining daughters-in-law in the second room, they have always disdained to interact with her, and they are even less likely to come to the fourth room to sow discord.

Apart from these reasons, only Mrs. Rong and Xie Yujiao are left.

Of the two, she prefers Jie Yujiao, because if the old lady really wants to take action, it will definitely not be like this. Moreover, the Rong family has been in a state of invisibility since it was not stronger than the Qin family last time.

If you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a householder.

After such analysis, only Jie Yujiao was left.

Did she offend Jie Yujiao? No.

She could count all the things she had said to Jie Yujiao on one hand. If there was no intersection, there would be no offending.

She didn't know much about this young lady. After all, she was married, and almost no one in the house said anything about her. Even if she came back to take care of her during this period, she kept a low profile and no one in the house heard about her.

gossip.

Then she could only recall the enlightenment books that Jie Yujiao sent her, which contained her notes. From the lines, she deduced that her character should be that of a well-raised lady.

Logically speaking, there would be no snitching on her behind her back, but it is hard to say. Who knows what she went through after marrying into her husband's family?

At this time, Jie Yujiao was startled. Naturally, she couldn't refuse Chang Xi's enthusiastic gesture, so she agreed with a smile.

often

Only then did Xi resolve the turmoil and buy herself time to continue her "wretched" development.

She's not strong enough yet.

When Mr. Jie Si and Xie Jin came over, the room was filled with laughter and seemed harmonious. Then the two of them looked at each other, and finally looked away in a vague way.

Mrs. Qin was so happy when she saw her husband and son arriving that she stood up to greet them.

Chang Xi glanced at Shi Bichi and gave her a comforting look, saying that she was just putting on a show for Qin, and then stepped forward to greet Xie Jin.

Shi Bichi clenched the handkerchief tightly, but soon let it go. She felt very angry at Mrs. Qin for causing this situation. This old woman would ruin her business.

Xie Jin was startled by Chang Xi's sudden attentive gesture. This woman had never bothered to be attentive to him. Did she take the wrong medicine now?

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm in very good health."

Of course Chang Xi knew that Xie Jin couldn't stand her sudden solicitude, but there was no way, you had to bear it even if you couldn't stand it. Didn't you see that I was also tolerant?

She blinked at Xie Jin, and then secretly moved her chin in Qin's direction to show that she was innocent.

Only then did Xie Jin realize that Mrs. Qin had been secretly looking towards him, her expression full of relief, as if she was a teachable child.

Then he looked back at Chang Xi, who was smiling, and it was really hard to bear this sudden kindness from a beautiful woman.

He was looking for an excuse to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, Chang Xi smiled and moved to block his retreat, and said in a considerate tone: "Master Xie Jiu, it's almost time for dinner, please go this way."

Is it uncomfortable?
