Chapter 207 The truth
Chu Jingqi grimaced in pain and softly begged for mercy, "Ayu, please spare me, I say yes."
"Say it quickly." She let go of him.
Chu Jingqi rubbed her arms sadly and said, "Song Baiqing didn't marry that woman, but he redeemed himself for that woman and raised her outside."
"Outdoor?" Xia Zihan's eyes lit up. If Mrs. Pei knew that Song Baiqing had raised the outside room, she would have to eat Song Boqing alive.
Suddenly, Xia Zihan wanted to see the expression on Pei's elegant and virtuous face.
"That's not all." Chu Jingqi said proudly, "That outer room is the number one in Xinghua Tower. Song Boqing spent 20,000 taels of silver to break his body, and another 30,000 taels of silver to redeem him, and... ”
Chu Jingqi pursed her lips and smiled and stopped talking.
"What's more, go on." He heard the key part, but it was gone. Xia Zihan's heart was lifted up.
Her anxious little feet stretched out from the quilt and kicked Chu Jingqi, "If you don't say anything, I will kick you out."
Chu Jingqi grabbed her little foot and held it in his hand and wouldn't let go. Xia Zihan jerked her several times but didn't pull back. She was so angry that she stared and breathed heavily.
Chu Jingqi played with her little feet and got the benefits, then she said, "Song Huai failed the exam."
"Before the exam, he met a woman, the top star of Xinghua House, Mudan. Mudan was dissatisfied with the old madam for asking her to accept guests at the age of thirteen, so she got into Song Huai's carriage when she ran away. He..."
< br>
Chu Jingqi stared at Xia Zihan carefully and saw that although her face was surprised, she was not sad, disappointed or distraught.
For some reason, he was very happy.
It seems that Ayu doesn't care much about Song Huai.
Haha...
He continued confidently, "He wanted to redeem Mudan's life, but the madam asked him for 50,000 taels of silver. He had no silver, so he wanted to come to Chu's house to borrow it from you, but the guard blocked him back."
Of course, the guard would block him. It was because he had greeted the guard in advance that Song Huai was not allowed in.
"He wanted to borrow the dowry left by your mother from you, and he also wanted to mortgage the house and village that the emperor gave you. Unfortunately, he couldn't come in and didn't see you. In the end, he couldn't redeem Mudan."
"What he didn't know was that the man who bought Peony's first night was Song Baiqing. Later, Song Huai failed the exam, got drunk in a restaurant, and was taken to Xinghua Tower."
The person who took him there was naturally arranged by Ma Bao. Song Huai was drunk at the time and he just didn't remember it.
Even the concubine he slept with was arranged for him by Ma Bao. According to Ma Bao's report, that concubine was the oldest concubine in Xinghua House and was the oiran of Xinghua House more than ten years ago. Unfortunately, she is now old. No, the beauty is not there, but the technique is definitely the best.
Ma Bao asked her to bring spring to Song Huai, which was definitely Song Huai's luck.
"Later, Song Huai spent the night with Mudan. When he woke up, he didn't have any silver on him, so he was forced by the madam to sign an IOU for five hundred and fifty taels of silver."
So, Chu Jingqi is playing a game where father and son share the same woman?
Xia Zihan, with a clumsy tongue and black lines on his face, asked him sullenly, "Are you planning to tell Song Huai where Mudan lives again?"
Then, in the outer room where her father kept her, Hongxing went out and was stolen by her son.
The son cuckolded his father.
Then, after this mess is exposed, the Song family will become a joke to the people in the capital.
With this scandal, no matter how hard the Song family father and son work hard, their official careers will not go far.
Chu Jingqi chuckled, "Ayu is smart."
He could only dream of destroying Song Huai.
Just tell Song Huai where Mudan lives, let the father and son play with Mudan, and let the scandal break out when the time is right.
By then, everyone will know that Song Huai is sorry for Ayu, and the Chu family will have an excuse to break off the engagement.
Haha, he was looking forward to this day very much.
"No." Xia Zihan said with a straight face, "It's okay to tell Song Huai where Mudan lives, but this scandal won't be exposed until I grow up."
"That will take several years." Chu Jingqi curled her lips unhappily.
His Ayu was Song Huai's nominal fiancée, which made him very uncomfortable. He dreamed of Ayu and Song Huai breaking off their engagement.
He pestered her and asked, "Why do we have to wait for you to grow up? Can't we do it now?"
"Of course there is a reason." Xia Zihan smiled, "If it doesn't work now, I will tell you when it does."
Chu Jingqi did not accept her answer without explanation and continued to pester her, "Tell me why?"
Because after she grew up, Xia Ziying would meet Song Huai and fall in love with him.
Xia Ziying didn't like Song Huai, so how could she encourage her stepmother to trick sisters into marrying off her in the future?
She was looking forward to pairing Xia Ziying and Song Huai again. However, in this life, she will not make it easy for them as a couple.
In her previous life, Song Huai had also redeemed her life for a widower, but that was when she was a child, and Song Huai had defrauded her of the money to redeem her husband.
But in this life, Song Huai encountered this matter in advance, and the person who redeemed himself became the number one person in Xinghua Tower. Although he was not the one who redeemed Mudan in the end, listening to Chu Jingqi's words, Song Huai must have fallen in love with Mudan.
Otherwise, a petty and petty man like Song Huai would not spend fifty thousand taels of silver to redeem an insignificant woman.
Let alone fifty thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid I wouldn't be willing to spend even five thousand taels of silver.
In the end, Xia Zihan still didn't tell Chu Jingqi her reason. Chu Jingqi stayed in her room until almost dawn before she had to leave with a look of resentment.
……
Young Master Dou was admitted as a scholar, and he was the only eldest son in a noble family, besides Song Huai, who took the exam to gain fame despite his status as the eldest son.
Although the reputation of a scholar is low, it is still a great joy. The Dou family sends invitations to invite relatives and friends to gather together.
Both Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan received the invitation.
The unpleasant experience that happened at the Dou family last time when Miss Dou got married made Xia Zihan a little afraid of the Dou family and did not dare to go to the Dou family.
I'm worried that if she goes, something unpleasant will happen and ruin the wedding banquet.
Once or twice, it was okay for people to say it, but if it happened too many times, it was inevitable that some people would be jealous of her.
And she has always been a sensible person. Before people hate her, she has to stop moving forward.
When Chu Jingqi came to tell her in the evening that he would come to pick her up with his parents, she took out a set of four treasures of the study and said feebly, "I am not feeling well and will not go there in the future. Please help me bring this gift to Young Master Dou, congratulate him for me.”
"You were sick, why didn't you send someone to tell me?"
Chu Jingqi jumped up nervously, and groped her body with both hands, "Where are you feeling uncomfortable? Did Dr. Bai come to see you?"
"Don't be anxious, I'll show you how anxious you are." Xia Zihan quickly pulled down his hand that was about to touch her forehead, "I'm not sick, I just don't want to go to Dou's house."
Seeing that he was confused, she continued, "I went to the Dou family twice, and I was unhappy with Shi Wenting both times. I don't want to embarrass the Dou sisters, and I don't want to ruin the good mood of the Dou family. In short, you can help me bring the gift." Just go.”
Chu Jingqi was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, but I will send Ma Bao to get this gift tomorrow."
The next morning, Ma Bao came to pick up the gift and also brought a large bag of medicinal materials. "This is what the prince gave to the county lord to replenish his body. The prince said that the county lord should take a good rest and wait for the prince to return from the sinus." Come back home and visit the county master again.”
Xia Zihan pretended to be weak and said, "Tell your eldest son, don't come over if he is busy."
Meeting at night every three days is not enough. He also wants to occupy her time during the day. This bastard, does he think she is an iron man and doesn't even need to rest?
But that guy comes once every three days and chats with her until dawn every time. How does he get a rest?
Moreover, she unexpectedly discovered that he was taller than her.
She is two years older than him, and she is actually shorter than him. This really makes her depressed. He also disturbs her sleep from time to time, affecting her growth, hum...
Ma Bao left with a smile, leaving behind a large bag of medicinal materials, which was sent to Old Man Bai by Nuan Yu.
In the afternoon, Chu Jingqi came as expected.
He told Xia Zihan, "Several cousins from the Dou family were very worried when they learned that you were not feeling well. They wanted to come over to see you someday. I guess I will have to send you a post tomorrow."
"Ayu." He suddenly approached her, smiling like a spring breeze, "Tomorrow we will go to Sanyuan to play, and my father and mother will go together. You will tell the maid to prepare things for going out later."
"Really? Okay, I'll tell Nuan Yu to prepare now." Xia Zihan was shocked by this sudden surprise and was extremely excited.
"Then my aunt and I will take a carriage, and I won't prepare a carriage." She said with a smile on her face.
"Well, help me prepare some food." He said, "I want to eat the jujube cake you made by yourself. The snacks made by the cook are all sweet, and the sweetness of the jujube cake you made is just right for my taste."
Maybe he wants to eat something she made with his own hands.
Xia Zihan rolled her eyes at him, "I know, let's do it right away." He added, "You just want to eat jujube cake? If you want to eat anything else, tell me. I'll put less honey in everything." .”
There was pampering and indulgence in her tone that she didn't even notice.
Chu Jingqi smiled narrowly, "Yeah, I also want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake and crystal bars."
These two are her favorite foods.
Xia Zihan asked Nuanyu to prepare clothes, jewelry and other items for going out tomorrow, while she went to the small kitchen to make pastries.
Chu Jingqi also stuck to it, standing next to her, helping her pass things, wiping sweat, and making a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
"Aqi, look how ugly what you did is a waste of food. Okay, go out now. When it's ready, I'll send it to you as soon as possible."
Xia Zihan waved his hand to drive him out, and then muttered, "Didn't you have anything to eat at Dou's house? Why do you look so hungry and anxious?
Silk Grass and Vanilla lowered their heads and smiled.
