Chapter 132: The story of a man with a baby looking for his wife (12)
Chu Zhizhi has always been tortured by Pei Yuzhou. She is very dissatisfied with this man who looks cold but is actually a crazy man. She wishes he could go back to fulfill the engagement and be with Miss Chu.
But this man seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit and kept running to her every night.
That is to say, Pei Yuzhou has been busy with official duties recently, so she has less to do at night and has the energy to go out for a walk during the day.
Chu Zhizhi is so attractive that she attracts people's attention every time she goes out, but then, those people discuss the false rumors that she is Pei Yuzhou's extramarital affair.
Chu Zhizhi has a strong heart and will not be affected by these rumors.
"That's her, the magistrate's wife."
"I heard that the county magistrate is breaking off the engagement with his childhood sweetheart and fiancée because of her."
"Isn't it true? Because she was too sad, Miss Chu stayed in a nunnery for two years to recuperate."
"Miss Chu is not young, right? The engagement is going to be annulled again. How will we live in the future?"
"Don't say it's because the magistrate can't control it. This outsider looks like a fairy. If you look at me one more time, my soul will be taken away by her."
"The county magistrate is really young and in good health. He is with this fairy-like woman day and night, and his energy is not exhausted."
What followed were some obscene words that were unpalatable to the ears.
The comments of these people can be divided into three categories: one is watching the excitement, the other is making comments about Chu Zhizhi, and the other is sympathizing with Miss Chu for regretting her marriage, so they use more excessive words to attack Chu Branchy.
No matter what time it is, society really treats women more harshly.
Chu Zhizhi only felt that these big women were stubborn and very pathetic. She had better save more money and stay away from that lunatic Pei Yuzhou. She didn't want to let Pei Yuzhou get entangled with Miss Chu. It’s lively.
Unknowingly, she walked to the stall selling sachets. Chu Zhizhi became more interested, picked a red osmanthus sachet, and asked with a smile: "Boss, how much does this cost?"
The boss was a middle-aged woman who set up a stall to sell home-made sachets to supplement her family's income. She glanced at Chu Zhizhi and said, "Fifteen cents."
Chu Zhizhi has always been very sensitive to other people's emotions, especially the way women look at her. These women always like to look at her with hostility. Women are full of malice towards her because of jealousy. The world is simply full of female competition. .
Even though the aunt hid the disdain in her eyes very well, she still caught it.
Doesn't this person just look down on her?
Chu Zhizhi was not a soft girl who could be manipulated by others. She put down the sachet and raised her lips. Her face, which was more beautiful than the spring scenery, was even more touching. "Auntie, you have to charge fifteen cents for the work. Yes." Isn’t it too expensive?”
"I'm not bargaining. If you don't like it, don't buy it." The aunt made something that was rejected by others. She immediately felt unhappy, put the things away, and said angrily to the charming woman: "What are you doing? , don’t stop me from doing business.”
Chu Zhizhi smiled and said, "If this is the way you do business, be careful and you will lose all your money."
The aunt was angry and said, "Hey, how can you talk?"
Chu Zhizhi looked at the vendor condescendingly and turned to leave. She has seen too many people who look down on others. Those people looked down on her just because of her status and thought she was a sex worker. But she was not easy to bully. Whoever dared to look down on her would definitely make them feel troubled. .
The vendor next to him asked in a low voice: "How did you offend the magistrate's wife?"
"What, she is the magistrate's wife?" The aunt was surprised. She had just moved here and was not familiar with the people and things here. When she heard that the woman was related to the magistrate, she became anxious.
The aunt hurriedly said: "I have never seen such an immodest woman, so I took another look and did nothing else. As soon as she came, she said that my things were not well made, and I was not happy. If I know she is the county magistrate’s concubine, so I will definitely give her the things without charging a penny.”
She is a commoner, but she doesn't dare to fight with people she has connections with.
Chu Zhizhi had just taken a few steps when she suddenly heard screaming from behind. When she looked back, she saw that the mean aunt suddenly covered her chest and fell to the ground. It seemed that she had a sudden illness, and a crowd of people gathered around her. Went over to watch the excitement.
Chu Zhizhi secretly thought that evildoers are rewarded, and she did not add insult to injury. Just as she withdrew her gaze and continued to move forward, a figure suddenly broke into her sight.
"Girl, I see your hall is dark, maybe you will be in trouble."
The speaker was a young Taoist priest, wearing a green Taoist robe and a jade crown. He had a baby face with curved eyebrows. When he smiled, he was full of intimacy.
Chu Zhizhi thought to himself that this young Taoist priest was pretty good-looking. If she were an ordinary girl, she might have been deceived by him. Unfortunately, she was the one he met today.
Chu Zhizhi took a step back and said, "I don't believe these things. You can find someone else to lie to you."
The young Taoist priest touched the back of his head in embarrassment, looking a bit dazed in his naive manner, "I was just joking, I'm really sorry, because I didn't know how to talk to a girl, so I came here." Such an opening statement, in fact, I think the girl is kind and want to ask you for directions.”
"Zhizhi." The man's mellow voice came from not far away, hiding a bit of displeasure.
When Chu Zhizhi saw Pei Yuzhou, he curled his lips secretly. This man was really domineering. He would not be happy if he saw her talking to other people.
Tonight, he will definitely be even more ruthless.
As soon as Pei Yuzhou finished handling his business, he couldn't wait to go back to Qinglian Lane. Unexpectedly, he saw Chu Zhizhi talking and laughing with a strange Taoist priest here. He suddenly felt a sense of crisis and hurried over.
Pei Yuzhou asked: "Why did you come out today?"
In order to make herself feel better at night, Chu Zhizhi smiled brightly and her voice was much sweeter, "Didn't you buy Yuhui ink last time? I heard that a new batch of goods arrived in the bookstore, so I thought Go and have a look. If there is any Yuhui ink you want, I will buy more and take it home.”
Pei Yuzhou's expression softened a lot. He deliberately got closer to Chu Zhizhi. This delicate beauty seemed to be completely enveloped by his figure and under his wings.
Anyone with eyes would be able to see his strong desire to possess this woman.
Pei Yuzhou has a long body and a pure temperament. His tone is distant and distant, "This Taoist priest looks very unfamiliar."
The Taoist priest smiled and said: "It's no big deal, I just want to ask for directions. Do you two know how to get to Chu Mansion?"
Pei Yuzhou and Chu Zhizhi looked at each other, and then looked at the young Taoist priest, both of them were surprised.
